The Negro World

ALL NEGROES ASKED TO PULL TOGETHER FELLOW MEN OF THE NEGRO RACE, Greeting: It is pleasing for me to report that our Third Annual International Convention of the Negro peoples of the world is proving a wonderful success. We have been able during the three weeks of our sitting to discuss some of the most vital questions affecting our race. In the debate the Honorable Deputies and Delegates revealed a high degree of intelligence. Every subject discussed up to the present has been handled by well prepared minds, in so much so as to make the record of our convention most invaluable. Stirring the World - In another eight days the convention will have risen to once more dissemble itself, through the respective delegates, into the four corners of the world. We are setting a splendid example in racial legislation, and it is hoped that in another few more years it will not be necessary for our convention to meet and adjourn within a month, but that we will find ourselves members of the great African Congress where we shall for months sit in legislation for the good and well-being of the new African Commonwealth. We have much to live for, we have much to accomplish and we are about accomplishing it. As our enemies rave around us, so the more we succeed in putting over the great program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. We have stirred the world, and we shall continue to so agitate until we have declared completely the freedom of the four hundred million Negroes of the world. We need not in any way become discouraged about Africa, even though those from whom we expected much in the cause of Africa have tried to disclaim their connection with our dear Motherland. The masses of us who love our ancestry will fight on and on until we crown our efforts with the glorious dawn of victory. The Record of History Africa may seem far off to some, Africa may seem impossible to others; but all intelligent and self-respecting Negro students of political science know that it is only a question of time when Africa will take her stand alongside the other great commonwealths of the world and NEW YORK, SATURDAY, AUGUST 26, 1822 ASKED TO PU GREAT WORK TO BE DONE BY INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION MARCUS GARVEY ASKS FOR CLEAN SWIPP IN LEADERSHIP NEW ADMINISTRATION SHALL CONSIST OF MEN OF HIGH CHARACTER AND REPUTATION boast of a civilization as grand and wonderful as any that we see today. At that time, many of those who now despise Africa will be glad to look to her and call her Mother and seek the shelter of a democratic home; but, ah! what will be the record of history! Surely we shall not forget these enemies, these black sons of Africa who despise her now. These Pickens and Johnsons and Du Boises of America, and DeLissers of the West Indies will yet hang their heads in shame for the many evil things they have said of Africa when Africa awakens to her glory. Unity, Then Victory Fight on, Negro men, women and children, everywhere, for you have much to achieve. Let every loyal Negro bend his effort and energy everywhere toward the promulgation of the doctrine of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. We desire the four hundred million Negroes of the world to be united, we desire to see the Universal Negro Improvement Association become such a power as to be able to interpret the sentiment solidly of the Negro peoples of the world. If we must win out we have to do so by being united, by all of us pulling together. Now is the time for us to so unite ourselves as to make it possible to indulge in one long united pull to put over the great program of universal emancipation and African redemption. All Divisions of the Universal Negro Improvement Association are requested to make special effort during the last week of this month to raise funds through public entertainments and otherwise for assisting the Parent Body in carrying its many financial responsibilities for the new administrative year. Send in whatso- --- ever support you can to headquarters by September 1, so that the new administration can start its work with a clean sheet. A New Cabinet It is a foregone conclusion that there is going to be a "clean sweep" in another few days in the personnel of the present cabinet of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. We want men who have a sense of responsibility to represent this movement of ours. We do not want irresponsible swell-heads who believe that after they are elected to a position they have no other obligation to the people than to make a lot of big noise, to abuse the race and pilfer the pockets of poor Negroes. We want men who have character, men who are honest, men who have the true sense of responsibility to their race and to their God. It is felt that the delegates of this convention, realizing their responsibility as representatives of their various divisions that have elected them, will rise to the occasion and assist in placing the best men in the lead of the next administration. The millions of our members the world over desire a change in the executive body of the organization. The people seek a new confidence, and that we dare not abuse. Let us, therefore, get together and make up our minds that from September 1 we will have an administration that will reflect the highest in this race of ours. We have to stir our people to a sense of racial responsibility. This can only be done when we can send out into the field the best prepared representatives of the organization. We are hoping that this will be made possible in the new administration. Everybody can help at this time in putting over the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. You can do so by sending in your donation of $1, $5, $10, $20, $50 to the Registrar, Universal Negro Improvement Association, 56 West 135th Street, New York City, N. Y., U. S. A. With very best wishes for your success, I have the honor to be VIEW OF THIRD WEEK OF INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION OF NEGROES OF THE WORLD LIBERTY HALL, SW YORK Aug. 19 —A review of the third week» proceedings of the Third International Convertion of Negrues of the World show a record of urhi: vementa— some- thing accomplished, sumething done * The program {or the week has been executed with commendable celerity, meiwithatanding (pe weientinsen af she subjecte and the Inomentnus Ianues In- volved, {0 say nothing uf the setba: ke which may have been expected Up- cause of the einiater Influrnoae that are operating around th retard the bual- nees:.0f/the:eunventlan: » cibeceren ganda agninat the m se othat ie being apread by the + the out tide who have work: + tingly by holding street cont anand publishing duaparagis inenta on the yellow pews in an soteet to fell the plans uf the convention und the Univarant Neges Umprovems (Annee ts ation \rtertheiean the fret stande Out In ed retet that the work uf the convention has progrensed uni the program adhered te with apuerin 68 actnens Thin te diene doubt ts he Able diretinw of the President Gen eral Hon Marcus Garees atin an te wisdom that eeeine lines! stvine tens Drosented the matters som ne betore the canyention In such a uch manner that the delegates Mad ned Meutly in Getting an immed te gran of the subjecta the mine (they are inte duced and utiined by han and are thue able to delle rate on them intel! gently Certainty, the convention i making history for the Negro tur ang some day the histerun will write tn letters of gald of the doings nf the Third Iniernatiunal Convention of Ne grocs of the World—Ile effort to Jee Inte fur the uplift of a stturgiing race who sought once more tH md a ylace tn the eun among the other nations of the w rid A Mom ve . bas betfeetty tore oa te .

Garvey’ Birthday Probably the most significant act of the convention was performed on Thursday when on the occasion of tho thirty-Afth birthday of the Hon. Mar- cus Garvey the convention unanimous- ly passed a resolution designating the 16th day of August, the birthday of the Hon. Marcus Garvey, Provisional President of Africa, and President General of the Universal Negro Im- provement Association, to be observed henceforth as an International holiday by the Negroes of thp world, and that the event be memorialized for the com- tog generations by record being made every year in the Negro Almanac of the Universal Negro Improvement As- sociation. Other races bave honored thelr dead herocs, and statesmen and patriots in this manner, but never be- fore in the history of this generation have Negroes paid such a signal honor and given such recognition of meri- toricus service to a member of their race. It is indeed a patriotic demon- atration-of race love and race pride. and a high tribute to the Hon. Mar- cus Garvey who, though yet a young man, has accomplished more than any itving Negro to bringing together into one organization millions of Negroes from difterent parte of the world with ar a Re Ae ee kn arette ee fo oo Efi Pp yee ea Ae 7 LOCO | eae ACREA ORE RIAA on Salt Wet | Baas ae een | : ue pai | Ge rah ee acces NiCr ev el | REPRE REL eee Te : Sal aera Na Tp LOR Ese SUA ies forever imperishable, and bie name held in loving memory by milliona of black folks the world over, under whatever fag, or in whatever clime they may be The Week's Program The subjects discumed during te week are as follows 1 Dratting an international politica! program for the Negroes of the world 2 Dincuaning ways and means of tiny fying the Induatriat output of the Negre Eo Diecuasing wuye and means Detter steamahiy ceminume ction be tween the Negra peomes of the world And the expannion of the Iki k Star Late 4 Diecuneing the Negin peers and ia future polis s So Dieeannt the pe item ef the Atwerseun Nemes @ Dircusaing the politice of the West tatian Neues 7 Van ummite. ee future ut ihe Ne ken in the Went tadtien Xo Dimcuastng the writing of bintors far the Negros ‘Die silane te ot geeite nt smnpert ane taken is Te ederim tite they wees Aiweuemel were Mest Wane and imeana of belles ale amebip cutis unt: fation between the Negras ut the SeCE eta Thee xpetmwen of the Mak Heir Lane ‘The dime uration on thie nub Jeek Waw very Teng thy vend entabirened Me fact Meet ats suntet p commune ten In tegat bal ae a Silat Inetor In linking UP He tare and creating a sentiment Mt will be highs favorable to the Negie and that will place him vn a heher wane than ever before.

MORNING SESSION, AUGUST 14, 1922 Monday mornings sersion openod with a full attendance of deputies and dclogates. Hon Marcus Garvey, President Gan- oral, Acting Upenker in Convention, presided. and ihe proceedings began with the singing uf the ope..ing hymn and recitation of the usual prayer. ‘The Secretary General read the min- utes of the previous session, which were adop'ed after « few minor amend- ments, Discussing Ways and Means of Im: proving the Industrial Output of the Negro Hon. Marcus Garvey in a very ex- haustive charge outlined to the delo- gates present points which they were to take into consideration. He told them it was a very Important subject as it struck the very vitals of the race.

Washington's Idea The late Hooker T Winhington had irled to Initlate that tea by teaching the Slack Man how io wendure foe jon wolf and advising him ‘o stay on the farms und produce those things that ho must consume. Ho thought that tan much money ant energy was oxpented In luying churches and if that money would he put In agriculture or Indus- trlal enterprines the race woult turn to benent Hon. G Weston of Kt Loum sug- gested that the race showd concen trate on ita Industrial ourput At pronont there is a certain amount of output. but conducted aa it Ie there can be no eubstaniial progress. He told them, In speaking of tho quest.on of Industry, that they should not re- gard only groceries and restaurants which wero merely enterpr.ses, but they sbould think of the mnufacturing of commodities and the production of raw materiais Each division should seek to embark on business enterprises or other Industries and under propor management should concentrate and asnist each other in order to obtain markets and patronage, Control of Production Hon. W, 0. Smyer of Pennsylvania sald the most important detail of the subject was to control the production Today Negroos everywhere were pro- ducing millions of dollars’ worth of materials that they did not contro! Thero are many people who will tell you that such and such a thing can- not be done by Negroes, but he thought that the first thought of the U. N. L A. should be to blaze the path in big business and to learn and teach the Negro the possibilities of mighty production that are necessary to sustain life. He !nstanced the case where one hundred Negroes in the city of Chicago bad raised the capital of $10,000 and had purchased a wheat tarm which today was employing over @ thousand men and using 110 trucks and controlling production in their community. Hon. W. Thorpe of Spanish Hon- duras suggested that the U.N. L A. through ite various divisions should establish f2 such communities euch industries as dre necessary for the va- rious localities, He explained that some divisions produced certain com- modities that could be consumed in other parts of the world.

Ho referred to the tex- tlle Induatry which wan awned hy centieman named Raundern tn that fectory raw material was taken and Manufactured Into articles which were cnaily eninble and he sucgestel that an effort should he made to go into the matter from that paint of view with the nanistance af tho members of the Aasocintion A textile Industry would not only enable the producers to neil their ney materiale, but would provide the consumers with the articles they most needed Hon Dr Eason, American Leader, referred to hin experiences in Amer- fen along industrial and agricultural lines and thought that if they were to organize everywhern In every city and In every corner of the world thay would be able to ao concentrate and exchange thelr products that they would all be benefited. They should not only produce cotton, but they should erect gina. and, fur- ther, they should have factories to manufacture the cotton Into necessary articles, They algo need more trained workers, more efficient workers, and, | above all, more money in orter to carry vut thelr plan. He suggested to them that they should ‘concentrate thelr efforts in these directions and they would be successful. Negrees in Guba Hon.

The Iden was that we should adopt = universal political platform, we may call It a Pro-African party or whut not but wo bellove there should be but one party as far ue the Negro race was concerned, und that party should de willing to act at all times and under all circumstances In bebulf of the \e~ gre race asa whole, so that when this party speaks the wholo world would understand (hat the Negro is apeak- Ing through his political voice. The Idea was as a race to organize politically that if anything affects our interosta in any part of the world there would be a united vote on that one aueation, It might be @ question of war, It might be a question affecting our racial interosts in order that there would bo @ right fooling, we would cause Negroes all over the world to caat the same ballot at the same time. We want an ‘international political party, It may be called the African party. which will cause the black Frenchman, the black Englishman, the black American to cast the same bal- tot at the same time.

PETTIFORD, V. H. FERRIS AND RUDOLPH SMITH LIBERTY HALL. New York, Sunday Evening August 20th—Garvey Resigns Head of Order. This headliner followed by an article appearing in the New York world this morning, announcing the resignation of Hon. Marcus Garvey as President-eral of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, created great excitement, commotion in the section of Harlem where Negroes abound and formed the topic discussion all day long. As a result, Liberty Hall was besieged tonight by a crowd immense proportions, and great was the enthusiasm manifested when the Presi-General in his address removed all doubts and suspicions that hovered over the ids of those who, having a vague understanding of the situation, feared the loss of leadership of the organization that has given the Negroes of the world new hope aroused their feelings of race love and pride which had become dormant through long years of oppression. "A Matter of Policy" Mr Garvey's address dealt with Negro Improvement Association and there seemed to be that is a matter of policy," the eminent will known that when sometimes comes back a more element was suggestive of the science readily understood it and make clear his position in regard to Association Mr Garvey said you what side I am on I a universal Negro Improvement With the association came into being that side I am prepared to care the Green perches on the loft Garvey said "The resignation of the President setting the stage for a mighty, the Black and the Green not toze triumphant " Deafening night feelings of satisfaction to theents within who are working up the organization. "We know we know the bad ones, and we once and forever the bad ones neither for God or the devil; you must either be for the University for its policy or you must be w Mr Garvey said address dealt with the present situation of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and in making reference to his gnation and there seemed to be a great deal of commotion about it that is a matter of policy," he said, "and those who know about ernment will known that when one resigns because of his conviction sometimes comes back a more dangerous fighter than before." This ement was suggestive of the meaning of his resignation, and the ieence readily understood it and spontaneously burst into applause, make clear his position in regard to the Universal Negro Improveat Association Mr Garvey said in most emphatic terms. "I want to you what side I am on I am on the side of the policy of the versal Negro Improvement Association as initiated from the first the association came into being That side I am prepared to hold that side I am prepared to carry through until the Red, the Black the Green perches on the loftiest hulltops of Africa." Continuing, Garvey said "The resignation of the President-General and part of the Cabinet put setting the stage for a mighty international fight that will see the l, the Black and the Green not trailing in the dust, but flying in the zee triumphant." Deafening applause greeted this remark and night feelings of satisfaction to those who are aware of the disturbing events within who are working in league with the enemies outside to upthe organization. "We know the good ones," said Mr Garvey, and we know the bad ones, and we are now setting the stage to clean once and forever the bad ones and let the good ones remain. You either for God or the devil; you cannot be for both at the same time. I must either be for the Universal Negro Improvement Association for its policy or you must be with the enemy outside." Not a Segmental Movement his movement, Mr. Garvey dollard, ot a New York movement, it is not American movement, it is not a Indian movement, it is not a Central American move, it is not an African movement—it is a universal movement, and the versality of the sentiment for the versal Negro Improvement Association is just as you see it in Liberty tonight "What can those who attempting to stem the movement with a thing like this?" Mr. Garvey urged. "It is like trying to empty sea with a tumbler." Pickens, the Job-Hunter saling individually with the gentlemen on the outside who are attacking organization and its leadership. Garvey took to task Mr Picklems made a complete exposure of his relationship with the association. He into the details of Mr Picklems coach, seeking a position with the N I A, claiming, as he did, that was unfairly created by the Naval Association for the Advance of Colored People and therefore ended to tender his resignation sequently however he was added that Mr Picklems had received increase of salary from the N A I P and since then had been make-attacks on the U N I A and misseencing it in the columns of the apapers. The history of the affair related by Mr Garvey disclosed a deshonorable act on the part Mr Picklems, and the audience did suppress its feelings of disgust as heard it. summing up Mr Garvey issued a lunge to the group of critics who maligning the Universal Negro Improvement Association to meet him on platform and make comparisons what they and their organizations achieved and the achievements of Universal Negro Improvement Association. the other speakers were the Hon. L. Poston, Attorney A. D. Pettiford Detroit, Sir William H. Ferris and Rudolph Smith. announcement was made that theigation appointed from the conven-tion to attend the Peace Conference Denao would bid farewell on Tues-evening, August 22, and all were guest to be present MR. GARVEY'S SPEECH using amidst cheers, Mr. Garvey 11: Tonight it is my desire to say a words bearing on the present situ- m of the Universal Negro Improve- t Association, in that there seems so a great deal of misunderstanding, especially about my stand at this An Open Challenge with the present situation of the United ation, and in making reference to his a great deal of commotion about it said, "and those who know about one resigns because of his conviction dangerous fighter than before." This meaning of his resignation, and the spontaneously burst into applause, led to the Universal Negro Improve- ment most emphatic terms. "I want to am on the side of the policy of the association as initiated from the first ing. That side I am prepared to hold try through until the Red, the Black west hilltops of Africa." Continuing, Student-General and part of the Cabinet by international fight that will see the trailing in the dust, but flying in the applause greeted this remark and nose who are aware of the disturbing in league with the enemies outside to now the good ones," said Mr Garvey, we are now setting the stage to clean and let the good ones remain. You cannot be for both at the same time. National Negro Improvement Association with the enemy outside." time. Some people do not pay enough attention to serious movements as to be able to understand them. They generally live on the surface of things and thereby superficially guide themselves in their understanding of those things that are serious enough to affect the destiny of a race or the destiny of a nation. In the nation at all times you will find but a few people who can understand the system of government or the conduct of government. Take the ordinary average man in the street, he knows nothing about the government of his country. He reacts to the leadership of that government, and, whatsoever that leadership does, he follows. Everybody takes sides one way or the other, but as to forming an opinion of their own the average man seldom evolves an opinion of his own. In the national life of America Washington expresses itself every morning, and whatsoever Washington says the people take sides either for or against the opinion of Washington. But for the people to form an independent opinion that has never been so and, perhaps, never will be so in the affairs of big governments. The Resignation THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, AUGUST 26, 1922 not at its own invitation but because of jealousy malice and the rest of it, and everybody knows that you can't always ignore the enemy, especially if the enemy attempts to put himself in the way. Now before the Universal Negro Improvement Association can indulge in a clean fight with those from without we have to clean from within—(applause)—so that when you start to fight the enemy will not have your plans by having their agents within. So I hope you all understand the fight that is coming. (Voices: Yes, sir.) Who and Where We are going to fight, we are going to fight the battles of the Universal Negro Improvement Association as human beings never fought for a principle before. Some say "Garvey must go," but we will see after a short while who must go (Deafening applause). The resignation of the President-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and part of the Cabinet is but setting the stage for a mighty international fight that will see the Red, the Black and the Green, not trailing in the dust, but flying in the breeze of triumph. (Applause) As I said to you, no great government, no great movement can successfully lead itself on to victory against any opposition while having within its ranks those who give aid and comfort to the enemy. And those of us who lead are not blind, we are not deaf and we are not crazy. We know all the folks. We know the good ones and the bad ones, and we are now setting the stage to clean up once and forever the bad ones. You are either for God or the devil, brother. Why, the very Divine Teacher says, "You cannot serve two masters at the same time." You must either be with the Universal Negro Improvement Association and for its policy or you must be with the enemy outside. But you are not going to stay with the Universal Negro Improvement Association pretending you stand for its policy and fraternize with the enemy. So that the resignation of Marcus Garvey means much. Who Laughs Last I am notified that some of the folks of the opposition cheered when they heard Garvey had resigned. But you know the story of who laughs last laughs beat. (Laughter) Now, listen. This is no New York movement. This is no American movement. This is no West Indian movement. This is no South or Central American movement. This is no African movement. This is a universal movement. And the universality of the sentiment for the Universal Negro Improvement Association is just as you see it in Liberty Hall tonight. What are they going to do with a thing like this? Telling one out of a crowd of so many that you must go! It is like trying to empty the sea literally with a tumbler. Talking about the sentiment of the Universal Negro Improvement Association must go! Go where? Over the top? (Laughter and applause). Is it that they mean? Now, these crazy boys who are making this noise, they know they are only trying to play a slick game to get an easy collection, but, according to the report, they have not been successful for the three meetings, so they had to remove from Shuffle Inn, where they could not raise enough money to pay for the continuous meetings, and at the new place to which they went this afternoon they only got ten dollars. Knowing these fellows as much as we do, we know that in the propaganda there is not much. And now the information comes they are going to carry the fight to Jamaica. Now, listen. If you can't fight a man where you are, how are you going to fight him three thousand miles away? The best place for them to show their strength is right here in New York. They should whip Marvin Garvey right here in New York before they start going anywhere else. The Job Seeker Extraordinary And now who are the fellows making all these statements? Take a fellow like Pikena. (Laughter-) New, I was brought up in the surroundings of culture and gentility. I was brought up to present a gentleman's word and a gentle- man's feelings. Because of that I have said absolutely nothing up to new about the relationship between the Universal Negro Improvement Association and William Pickens, but he has taken the matter out of my hands as a gentleman and has made it a public issue that involves the Universal Negro Improvement Association. So I am speaking to you now not as Marous Gagvey the man, but I am speaking to you now about Pickens for a few minutes as the President-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association that is unfairly represented in its relationship with a man by the name of William Pickens. Had No Regard for Du Bois Sent in His Resignation He sent me a copy. I said, "I do not want to see it. I am taking you at your word." He sent in his resignation, he even wanted me to post it to be sure that it was sent, but I said no, and the result was that, after we had offered him a position and a salary on his begging for it, after he got me to write him a letter confirming it, a few weeks after when the resignation should have taken effect, and when he should have reported to us, he came back and said that all the white men and all the white officers of the association had bequest him and influenced him not to leave and there was an increase in his salary. (Laughter). I did not advance anything to this man, I did not care whether he came or not. I was trying to help a man who placed his distress before me. It was immaterial to me. He started of his own volition to write articles in favor of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. He did all that to impress me how loyal and true he was, and then all of a sudden he changed his mind. And I have not seen the man up to now until he comes and says Garvey must go (Laughter). Now, I never would have related this because as a gentleman it is my duty to respect the feelings of another gentleman, but this man has made such brazen attempts as affecting the Universal Negro Improvement Association that I could not as President General or the Universal Negro Improvement Association and administrate allow these things to go unchill. d. So you realize the relationship between this Mr. William Pickens and the Universal Negro Improvement Association. What was his idea for coming to me? What was his idea for following me to my hou and worrying me on the telephone? All those in the office can tell you I am not the only one that knew of those things. Others warned me about the man when he stepped into the office, but I am willing to give a man a fair chance, and that is why I have had so many villains around. I always believe a man is honest until proved otherwise. But when that man came there are men who said, "Watch that man." But I paid no attention. I believed he was in distress, and I was making an effort to relieve him. That reveals a part of human nature. Oh. Those Friend! As to the other men who are fighting, you know them better than I do. You know those two boys who make up the Socialist party up here. You know those who make up the "Negro Freedom Party" Negroes are talking about "Friends of Negro Freedom"? What do they mean by that, anyhow? Two Negroes talking about "Friends of Negro Freedom"? Have you ever stopped to analyze the thing and find out its meaning? It is a catchword by which somebody hopes to collect some money. Have you ever thought that out. "Friends of Negro Freedom" (Laughter) It is a catchword by which you can write somebody and beg for some subscription or donation in the street. And these boys tell us they are educated. They are ackl. all right. (Laughter) They are very educated. And some of us, when we get out and start to clap our hands and stamp our feet because of statements made, if you will but stop for a minute to think over some of the statements at times, you will not be so anxious to clap and chee and stamp. What is the whole thing? The whole thing is but a skillful propaganda to stam the tide of a sweeping world movement. But you know, not getting enough in their collection plates, those fellows are educated enough to have stopped long ago, if that was all. But it is only a skilful propaganda method to test the loyalty and devotion of Negroes to a great cause that ultimately means the Negro's emancipation Behind It All Behind it all stands the white Socialist so-called laboring man. Behind it all stands the so-called philanthropic white man. Behind it stands the Negro haters who are subsidizing them directly and indirectly for the purpose of stifling a propaganda, a movement that will ultimately place the Negro in an independent position whereby he will be able to take his stand alongside of the other races and nations of the world. (Applause.) If you stop long enough to think, you will find that no patriot, no race loving Negro would of his own desire go out of his way to do what these Negroes are doing. Why? Everybody with some knows that it is only a crazy man or a crazy government that would seek to destroy his own family or its own national existence simply because there is some apparent misunderstanding in the family or misunderstanding in the nation. If you have a family consisting of five or six and there comes a misunderstanding in the family what would be your first duty? To make efforts within the family to settle the differences. Is it not so? Would you take the initiative of going directly over to the neighbor next door to fight your own family from next door? No! No sensible head of a family would do that. No government that has misunderstanding within government to fight against their own government. Would no person interested in his race would attempt to do the things these men are doing. If they were honest if they were truthful in their deal to help this race the first duty would have been to come to Marcus Garvey or the Universal Negro Improvement Association and ask if the things they are saying are true and if they were true, to ask the reason and then there would be some argument. If Marcus Garvey refused to give information or the Organization refused to entertain them, there would have been some argument to put up against Marcus Garvey and the Organization. Have they done that? And they do not want to do that either because they are lying about the attitude of Marcus Garvey and about the attitude of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. These Negroes know the platform of the Universal Negro Improvement Association probably even better than the average member knows it. They know the strength of the movement. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is controlled by white philanthropists. Now look at the man who are fighting us. Pickens is employed. Bagnall is employed by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored people, an organization Controlled by White People. kept up by white people money Whatsoe or those Negroes do, they don't carry out the commanda of white men. Who are the other fellows, calling them olves Socialists sometimes, Boladevists at other times, friends of Negro freedom at other times? Behind them stands another group of white men. Now what can you expect from such Negroes? (Voices 'Nothing') And fighting, remember, fighting a purely Negro organization, a Negro organization from top to bottom, a Negro organization kept up for five years with Negroes' money (Loud applause) Who must know better what the Negro wants at this time? The man who kept the Negro a slave for three hundred years of the Negro himself? And you sit down in Harlem here and allow these Negroes employed by white men, the same white people who kept us as slaves for three hundred years, you allow these Negroes to represent them, to come here to tell you the lies they have been telling you for the purpose of smashing up, in their thought only, a movement that seems to be going too fast toward the realization of its object. What is the object? The object is a redeemed country. Who is interested in that country? in that country. Wall Street is interested in the diamond mines of Kim- ADVERTISEMENT.

Marcus Gatesy throws a dazzling ray of light on the efforts of William Pickens, water boy of the N A A C P, to ally himself with the U N I A, and of Pickens' chameleon-like change just as soon as his salary was raised by the white "demi-gods" of the N A A C P. Reluctantly but dramatically the President-General showed conclusively that with "fellows like Pickens" it is simply a question of "how berley. Wall Street is interested in the rubber fields of the Congo. Wall Street is interested in the great agricultural regions of West Africa, and indirectly Wall Street slips one thousand dollars, five thousand dollars or ten thousand dollars to the so-called white philanthropists of Negro movements and says "Kill that thing. You are regarded as a friend and they would not suspect. Kill that thing." And the white philanthropists would send out their Negro hirings, some not even intelligent enough to know what they are doing, only that they receive pay from the masters. And by paying the drier the master calls the tune. Consciously of unconnecously these Negroes go out to fight against Negroes to carry out the wicked designs of Wall Street. But, brother, all Negroes are not fools. (Laughter.) We have some Deans—I do not know what they are Deans of—who have not got enough sense to handle themselves in a proper way to get a job. I am not a Dean. I have no time to be a Dean. But brother if I wanted a job, I would look for it better than that fellow looks for it. These are the things for you to consider. What is the force, what is the power behind the Universal Negro Improvement Association? It is more than you can see. We have not been schooled, some of us, in the schools of diplomacy, but I can tell that Wall Street fellow, I can tell that Wall Street philanthropist that I have been enslaved for three hundred years, and bring all your tricks and plans, I am up to every move, ready to meet trick with trick. It is a question of wits and wits between here and Africa. (Applause.) Let those Negroes tell you. How They Are Living. How Are They Living? They talk about the balance sheet of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Let them show you their balance sheet. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People do not know they are playing with fire. Now listen. As I always say, no Negro who is interested in his race would go out of his way to antagonize his race. On that principle the Universa. Negro Improvement Association has never yet gone out of its way to interfere with any other Negro movement, but you all know the old-time saying, "All is fair in love and war." Now we have never fought the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. We have tried to give them headway to do everything they protest to be doing, and up to now they have done nothing. They talk about Marcus Garvey not keeping his word or his promise. What promise has the National Association for the Advancement of Col- ored People kept for ten years of its existence? They swize on a popular issue that comes before the public and try to make capital out of it. They have capitalized lynching for ten years telling us they are going to stop lynching. Have they stopped it? It is on the increase every year in face of the thousands of dollars they collect annually. The Black Star Line promised a ship. We gave three to the world, and were it not for the plotting of the same claas and type of men we would have had twenty ships today instead of three. They plotted to confuse the men whom we sent out a trustees of our ships at sea, as some of them are trying to confuse some of the men in the Executive Council and some of the men in the leadership of the Universi Negro Improvement Association now, but everybody knew that old-time saying, "Once bitten, twice shy." They got away with giving the Black Star Lina a enthack for a short while, but we are not going to give you, but we are not going to get away with anything in the Universal Negro Improvement Association. And that is why we are making a clean sweep now. (Loud applause.) What has the National Association or the Advancement of Colored People done for ten years? Nothing practical that they can show you. Yet they have the nerve to ask the Universal for a balance sheet. Did you see their last balance sheet? Ask them about that balance sheet. They talk about secretive. How ridiculous to talk about secretiveness in comparison between the two organizational! Here is an organization that is honest, that is upright enough to place every card on the table annually before its members and to give the members an opportunity to find out from A to Z about that organization, as we are doing in convention now, and then to elect its nen to lead them. Tell me about the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. I believe if you ever dared to discuss its balance sheet in a public meeting, they would tell you you are disrespectful, that you have no respect for gentlemen. The Challenge You know some of us gentlemen are privileged to do certain things. Some gentlemen, I suppose, are privileged to put their hands in your pocket and empty your pocket and they are not supposed to tell you how much they took out; while other gentlemen will not be allowed by them to even ask how much you have in your pocket and to give an account of how much they took or got. You realize the whole thing is a sham and a farce. I challenge the National Association to bring its record before the pubile and tell us what they have done; how much money they have (Continued on page 10) THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, AUGUST 26, 1922 ___ THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY ee THE NEGRO AS AN EXPLORER [ _ev—_—___ ISTORIANS have discovered that Little Stephens, the black, H discovered and opened up New Mexico; that black men were with Balboa when he discovered the Pacific, with De Soto when he discovered the Mississippi, with Cortez when he conquered Mexico, that they accompanied General Fremont and the Lewis and Clark expeditions. A reply has been made to these statements that the Negro’s function in these exploring expeditions was only that of a) servant and that he contributed the muscle but not the brain in these explorations, ! This statement cannot be made regarding Matt Henson's part in Commander Peary’s discovery of the North Pole | Three weeks ago Sunday Mr. A. A Schomberg of Brooklyn, the versatile book collector, showed us the book, “Has the North Po:e Been Discovered?” written by Thomas F Hall and published by Richard G Badger of Boston, Mr Hall endeavors to prove the thesis that Com- mander Peary did not discover the North Pole. As we are not an authority m arte affairs we could not tell whether Mr Hall proved hus case or not But we were interested in what Mr Hall said of Matt Henson, a Negro, the only avihzed man to stand with Peary at the pole On page 64 of his book Mr Hail said “An analysis of Peary's clauns for speed would be incomplete without checking records to ascer- jan the evidence given an apeed hy Feary s only civilized companion at ‘the Pole [he Negro, Henson, who accompanied Peary alter Bart'ett Hreturned, 1s an amtelliyent man He has written mterestingly for the magazines , has published a buok, has lectured im the East and extubited hus polar pictures Henson had been in the empl sy of Peary over twenty years He was with him in Nicaragua, and fis experince on the Arctic Sea equals that of Peary, for he accompamed Peary on all his voyages B understands astronomwcal observations, he built all the sledyes for the expedition sn 1909, took over a hundred phqtographs while on the ie and kept a dusry. . . . Henson knew facts and events as well as Peary knew them, and what he recorded 1m Ins diary as to those facts or events [ts as reliable as what Peary recorded, actually more ecluble, bevause of hts comparitwwe dasinterestedness" | These statements conclusively show that Matt Henson was more than a mere “hand” in surmounting difficulties, in facing icy blasts and away below zero weather until he and his employer added one more Ink to man’s conquest over nature, Whether or no the spot where Commander Peary planted the Stars and Stripes was exactly the top of the earth or not, a large part of the glory of that battle agaist snow, ice and frigid cold belongs to Peary’s Negro companion And perhaps if all the facts were known the intelligence as well as the brawn of other Negro companions of Caucasion explorers may have plaved some part in the final result. U. N. L A. LADY PRESIDENT ANSWERS GARVEY CRITICS AIS was the headline of a double column article set in large type! I whith appeared in the California Voice, Oakland, Cal, on| August 11. Mrs. Louis Pittman is the author of the arecle, we believe, and it is some article, We regret that lack of space prevents, our reproducing it in full, but we will cull two of the gems. | Mrs. Pittman says of the Hon, Marcus Garvey's much-cussed and much-discussed visit to the leader of the Ku Klux Klan. “Since the resuscitation of the Ku Klux Klan the entire race has been as a lot of children walking through a dark wood at night and suddenly seeing something white flapping in the breeze. We have been wondering, some of us fearfully, what it was, and every time the wind stirred it we have hovered a little closer together and shivered. Some of us [editors] have cried st in a loud voice, thinkang st would vanish, but on no account would we go near to it. The Hon, Marcus Garvey also came walking throtgh the wood, and when he saw that white flapping thing he said ‘I'm going to see what it is.’ And he walked right up to it and invests- gated it. Afterward he came back to the children and told them all about it” Although this statement is picturesquely put it agrees in substance with Marcus Garvey’s version of his visit to the kleagle of the Ku Klux Kian, Mra. Pittman also says of the possibility uf « Negro government in Africa. “A government in Africa 1s not an impossibility. At present the European nations claim the mayority of the African continent, but ‘we must remember that the natives of the soil are im the majority, and under proper education, proper leadership and Western civiltzation, ‘carried to them by those of us who have imbibed it, it is not impossible that in a few years there will be the beginning of a great African com- monwealth. Also, when the scattered voices of the Negro over the world are united to demand of the various governments our land of Africa, diplomatic wires can be pulled and events shaped to bring about the desired ends. At least it is better to try and fail than never to try at all. Apparently the Harrises, Owens aud Pickenses wou'd have us not try. However, gentlemen, learned leaders, what have you to offer in the place of the program of the U. N. I. A. that self-respecting Negroes can feel will give them justice? Speak up’ don't hesitate and don’t all try to answer at once.” This is a prophecy that will ultimately be fulfilled, and may be fulfilled sooner than expected. U.N. 1. A. PRESIDENT SAYS REV.

THE TWELVE GREATES? NEGROES | IE editors of The Negro World have received frequent letters asking who, in their opinion, are the twelve greatest living Negroes. First, we must define what we mean by great Negroes. We do not mean by the twelve greatest Negroes the twelve most brillant men of African descent nor the twelve noblest men of color, But we mean the twelve men of dusky hue who have made the Geepest dent in Negro Ife and thought and in the hfe and thought of the world. These are the twelve greatest Negroes in our estimation. Prof William S. Scarborough,the Greek scholar; Dr Francis 1. Grimke, the theologian; Hon. Archibald H. Grimke, the author, diplomat and race leader; Dr. W. E. B, Du Bois, author of “Souls of Black Folk” and founder of the Niagara movement; Prof. Kelly Miller, the mathemati- cian and sociologist; Henry O, Tanner, the pamter; William Monroe Trotter, the agitator; Bishop Levi J. Coppin, the biblical scholar and suthor; William Stanley Braithwaite, the poetic critic: Duse Mohamed All, editor of “Africa and the Orient Review” ; Robert T. Browne, author ef “The Mystery of Space,” and Marcus Garvey, founder of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, the greatest living Negro organization. ‘The associate editor of The Negro Wo would give James Weldon Johnson preference aver William Monroe Trotter and would put Charles Gilpin on a par with Henry O. Tanner and would put! Bishop L Albert Johnson on a par with Bishop L. J. Coppin. A U, N. LA. member would place Dr. Le Roy Bundy on a par with ‘William Monroe Trotter and Sir John E. Bruce and T. Thomas For- tune on a par with Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois. But this is how the literary editor of The Negro World sizes up the matter. Mr. James Weldon Johnson is a scholar, gentleman, poet, essayist and diplomat of high rank. His common sense and manly dignity have been an asset to the N. A. A.C. P. But Mr. William Monroe Trotter and Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois had been in the field as cfampions of the manhood rights of the Negro fifteen years before Mr. James Weldon Johnson mounted his charger, set his lance in rest and entered the combat. They helped to crystallize the sentiment which swept him into popularity. In the literary field William Stanley Brasth- waite had battled hard for ten years and forced the world to take seriously man of color as a poet before Mr. Johnson published his , splendid poems and interesting book. So’ while he has done valiant ‘work as a race champion, poet and critic, we give the preference to the three men whose heroic efforts pived the way for his brilliant success. Mz. Charles Gilnin hae won merited recognition a» = dramatic astist. But Henry O. Tanner had battled with the artistic world for @ quarter of a century and forced it to take a colored poet seriously before Mr. Charles Gilpin shore superbly in “Emperor Jones.” Bishop J. Albert Johnson is a graduate of Edinburgh University. He is handsome, manly and dignified. He is a polished and cultured geitieman, Fie can sway the masses in 8 sermon or lecture and could * grace-with dignity Woolsey Auditorium in Yale University and Apple- ton chapel at Harvard. He could impress an audience in Oxford or Cambridge University. As a versatile Negro preacher he stands like @ Sau) of Tarsus among his contemporaries. But when we reflect that ‘Bishop L. J. Coppin started out with only a common-school education, “phat he fitted himself by private tutors, special courses and independent Yetady, that be developed into an exegetical preacher, into an able editor of the. A. M. B. Church Review, that he wrote two scholarly books of ‘biblical interpretation, an interesting book upon Africa and “Chapters so: Usierttipe History” that will be read years after he has stepped from “hone, to eternity, it will be seen that his career shows pre-eminently the possibilities bf the Negro end will leave a permanent mark. The memory “pf the'sublime eloqdence of Bishop J. Albert Johnson will be passed ~dowi asa. tradition from generation to generation. But Bishop Coppin’s {Chapters of Unwritten History” will be read by generations yet un- “bogri.,” And. an literature is more durable than tradition, we give the preference-to. Bishop Levi J. Coppin. ee rs Le Roy’ Bandy looms up as the hero and martyr of the East St. Anal Hote ‘He spent a small fortune and languished in jail. because he jetaerpioned the cause Of his race.

Lord Northcliffe was born of mddle- class Anglo-Irish parents, Enver Pasha was the son of o carpenter. Colossus both. Lord Northcliffe, after studying for the bar, became the dominating force in British journalism. A force which was not always operated in the interests of the people of the British empire, a farce which was frequently pernicious in politics by reason of its mailed fist imperialism rather than a force in the direction of justice and equity “Northcliffe made Lord Kitchener and Lloyd George, and so great was the power of Ins publications that he threatened the very foundations of the British empire. His thunderings of today became the policy of Great Britain tomorrow He was mercurial, that being the Celtic clement in him, and on occasion he was capable of the stohd ccemanon sense and dogged grit which 13 characteristic of the enlightened Briton : “He could do many things at one and the same time, but, above all, he was a great adveruser rather than a great journalist But he w dead | == | | Enver Pasha, a carpenter's son, was virtually Sultan of Turkey "durmg the great war In the Tripolitan war he ang'ed fur the Sultanate | by negotiating with the tribe of the Khoreesh— the tribe of the Prophet Mohamed—for a daughter of that ancient stock hoping thereby to clear tus path to the throne of Turkey Mohamed the Fifth, however, by: recalling him to Turkey and offering him a wife of Turkeys royal arial house, which he could not well refuse, scutched and nullified “ins ambitions in the direction of the Uione He subsequently became: War Minister and was the undoubted brain of the Turkish party of union and progress He had been the hero of the revolution of 1908 H which brought whout the deposition of his patron, the late Stan Abdul ‘Hunmd, who had Paver educated When a price was set upon his head on the declaration of peace he jomed hands with the Moscow Gover ment, subsequently obtaining its recogmutiun of tim as leader of the Trans-Turanian movement, which was intended to umfy not only the | Must ms of Trans Caucasia, but also those ot Chita and the Nauonal acts of Angora | He was too ambitious to be a loyal friend of Kamel Pasha, the Turkish Nationalist leader His vanity and ambitions did not admit of joint leadership in Turkish affairs, and it 1s questionable whether Kamel Pasha could have remamed in the ascendancy had Enver admimstered a crushing defeat to the Bolshevik forces, for he would then undoubt- cdly have turned his attention to the extinction of Kamel Pasha in Angora, where his emissaries are even now reported to be intrigaing against the man who saved Turkey from signing a hunulating peace It 1s doubtful whether Enver's personal ambition was at any time sub- ordinate to the well-being of Turkey Not only was Enver Pasha | donunating and arrogant, but his German military education led him i" the direction of mulitary autocracy in Turkey There were periods when returning to Constantinople, first as the hero of the revolution, then as the hero bf Tripol, and in 1913 the dommating force m the reclamation of Adrianople, that so great was his prestige with the populace and the Muslim world at large that he mght have done any thing he willed with the Turkish empire, for\bdul Hamid was deposed and the sceptre of the Khalif of the Faithful rested in the weak hands lof Mohamed V. A bithant man was Enver—an ambitious man It i remains to be seen whether he 1s intended by fate to wreck the empire of Turkey and the faith of Is'am It is to be hoped that "Ht 1s not written.” Moscow wishes him dead and from thence 1s his death reported. Ths might be an exaggeration, the wish being father to the thought It 1s Kismet It appears that Premier Lloyd Geosre through "The London Times,” sincerely repents the error which had been comm.tted by the issuing of the Earl of Balfour's note I have frequently said that Arthut James Balfour was reactionary, and now it <eems that, on the authority of the “Times,” he 1s suffering {rom the intellectual dry-rot which characterizes the mental attitude of the diplomatic potiticians not [only of England but of Europe. Earl Balfour's note has not only succeeded to a large catenit an coinamging American fesing, but i has wrecked the recent allied conference and reduced the German mark to A disappearing quantity. The “Times” says that ‘it 1s misleading to suppose that the note represents the attitude of the British public” It 1s very questionable whether the British public has any “attitude” in this or any other maiter. There is a chque of inept pol ticrans in Eng- land who style themselves dipigmats The head of this clique, who 1s regarded in Europe as a heaven <ent dip'omatic genus, 13 the greatest wobbler that the world has ever seen. Lloyd George never had any settled policy nor any direct “attitude” of mind on any given ‘subject He has run the entire pol:tical gamut from revolutionary radical pro- boer to imperialistic autocrat. He never possessed any “attitude” of mind other than the attitude of mind which was productive of beneficial results to Lloyd George He 1s the greatest political joke of the century. but the greater joke 1s to be found in the fact that Caucasian “thinkers” have regarded him seriously. There is 2 very thin line between the comie and the tragic. At the moment Europe's spurious diplomats represent the chief characters in | a most engaging comic opera, with the helpless peoples of the world as chorus. These poor people, whether of Europe, Asia or Africa, are trotting on behand the priacipals, and break forth into song, none of which 18 joyful, although to the superficial observer their grimaces pass for mirth! The wail of want and the wail of oppression filters through the superficial psean of joy and their dance is the dance of death. There are over three million workless choristers in the British Isles.

In that respect the Negro press required enlightenment. In our papers we ought to study the industrial and economic status of our country, and we should endeavor to know everything about ourselves and something about everything else, because in a country which is affected by panic, by political crises, social hegavals, etc., we should not only know something about ourselves, but something about our environment. Today the Negro is looked upon more than he has been before. Twenty years ago the white world did not care what the Negro world was thinking. The world did not regard him as a man. A day they are reading Negro magazines and since the Negro has a stage and spectature who would listen to what he says, it should be the duty of ever) he should not only to think and we present, but for the future.

America which is at present so scarred among the different political parties may be mobilized and directed into a certain channel so that a powerful combination may be effected which will to a great extent give the Negro a voice in American government. The President-General in introducing the discussion pointed out the need for a racial political affiliation which at the present time did not exist through the fact that the Negro vote was divided up among the various parties which controlled the politics of the nation. It was therefore the duty of this convention to discuss whether it is to the advantage of the Negro to continue being a party of the many parties or whether he ought to adopt ways and means of making his political vote felt as an independent unit in the life politic. Two million votes, he assumed, were cast against the national election of the United States and this aggregation of votes if cast solidly would form a balance of power which would enable the Negro to put in the White House a man who by his promises and his platform would most nearly meet their wishes. The discussion from the floor was all along the lines set forth by the President-General, and though some of the speakers differed somewhat in their views as to how the problem might be solved, they were all agreed that the political situation so far as it affected the Negro was deplorable, and that some steps should be taken to help ourselves politically in this country. It was felt by some of the speakers that the political situation for the Negro was gloomy. One delegate predicted that ten years from now no matter how strong we may be organized as a group throughout this country, we will not have the chance that we have right now. Therefore, we should corral and use our political strength to get some of the advantages which are now available, for we could never hope to be a serious competitor in American politics. Among the delegates who spoke on the subject were Hone. R. L. Poston. J. W. H. Eason. J W McHurse. Chicago; Adrian Johnson. William H Porris. F H Carroll. J P Williams. Boston; Miss Henrietta Vinton Davis. Mrs. Lillian Willis. C E. Gaines. Thos. W. Anderson. Leroy Bundy EVENING SESSION, WEDNESDAY AUGUST 16, 1922 The session was resumed at 9 p.m. Hon. Marcus Garvey in the chair after the usual preliminaries a short concert program was rendered, after which convention settled down to business. The minutes of the previous meeting were read and confirmed. Before the discussion of the American Negro in politics was resumed the chairman made a brief statement touching upon his responsibility to the people. He declared emphatically that it was not his intention as the administrator of the movement to be severely handicapped, as he was last year, by having under him officers who could not give proper service. He was no more obligated to the convention than the convention was obligated to the people, and he was not prepared to compromise himself where he saw anything unfamiliar to him intuitively to the interest of which it was his duty to conserve. He had got himself in trouble half a dozen times through the conduct of other men, and he was determined not to go a step farther with any crooked man and so endanger his reputation. Discussion on the subject before the house was then resumed. The following delegates took part: Hon U S.

The Cause of the Weakness The cause of the wrestlers Mr Poston said in discussing topics affecting the conduct of the American Negro they were apt at times to be rather self-critical. The political conduct of the American Negro was what displorable, but what conduct was consistent, every element of his more attention should be paid to discussing the cause. The American Negro was a minority group in this country, and in politics numbers counted. Further, the American Negro was possessed with a heterogeneous point of view which dissipated him numerically when it came to concerted action. In politics one was supposed to get an expression of his ambitions and his ideals. These were denied the Negro in Agerica, and this being so he had no fair claim to citizenship. The Northern white man or the Republican has realized that because of the Negro's political status, because of his allegiance to the Republican party, he was daily increasing the gulf that existed between the Northern white man and the Southern white man, and 1. order to get white men together the Negro politically was being dissipated. The Republican party was discouraging the Negro from supporting that party. The political status of Negroes in this country would be better only when they have established themselves in a national way in the motherland of Africa. Mr Hoider said the Negro was becoming disfurious because the country. No untender would be found for Negro leaders put higher price on their leadership and Negro voters valued their votes at a greater price than a glass of whiskey or beer. Mr Robinson dealt with the part women more destined to play in the white collar. The chairman then summed up and stressed the point that nothing was better calculated to give he white man in the North an excuse for distranchising the Negro, as had been done in the South, than the little value placed by Negro voters in the North on their votes. He then appointed the following committee to consider the question and report its findings to the convention of Washing-ton, attorney Petitford of Detroit, Sir William Ferris, Attorney Williams of Boston and Deputy Fowler of Oakland, cali The West Indian Negro On the suggestion of the chairman it was decided that the other two items on the agenda, 'The Politics of the West Indian Negro' and 'The Future of the Negro in the West Indies,' be taken together. Initiating the discussion the chairman reviewed the forms of government obtaining in the West Indies and showed that on account of the qualifications imposed the majority of the masses in the West Indies did not vote. So Indifferent were the people to the exercise of the ballot that a council of fourteen white men was often elected by an electorate, 99 percent, of whom were Negroes and 1 per cent. white. But since the advent of the Universal Negro Improvement Association a great change had come over the West Indies. He instanced the case of Jamaica, where there were nine Negroes in the Legislative Council and only five white men, and it was likely that at the next election an all-couored council would be returned. What was true of Jamaica was nearly true of all the representative governments of the West Indies. With a higher sense of race loyalty developed the Negro in the West Indies would eventually be able to control the system of governments in those parts and the West Indies would be a splendid objective if anything should happen to those great imperial governments, England and France. It meant that in another decade Negroes could not only control Africa but all the islands of the Caribbean. An Indictment of British Rule Hon. Adrian Johnson followed. In an able speech he severely criticized British rule in the West Indies. The American Negro, he said, was held down by numbers while the West Indian Negro was held down by a bastard loyalty to a bastard government. Actually the West Indian Negro had no politics. He was a West Indian himself and was ashamed to say it, but the fact remained that they had none. The West Indies was the dumping ground for British soldiers, however ill-fated to rule they might be, who had deserved well of their country. The West Indian Negro had never played any part in politics because he believed blindly in the conscience of England. He had been taught to believe that the British people were the elect of the earth. The politics of the Englishman was so subtle that the average West Indian mind could not grasp it. The one great ambition of the educated West Indian was to be knighted or to become a K. C. or receive some other titled honor from the Crown. As soon as he obtained this he thought himself a white man. The only hope for the West Indian Negro was the instilling of race consciousness, and he was glad to see that much progress was being made along this line through the efforts of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. The war, too, had taught the people of the West Indies a valuable lesson. They had seen how Negroes were feted during the war and how, no sooner was the armistice signed than they were made to realize that they were "only Negroes." He had been told by Lloyd George, when on one occasion he interviewed him in behalf of Negroes threatened with starvation in England, that a Negro should be proud to be a British subject because the most powerful in the world, and that he didn't get then they did not get before, and what they didn't get then they might get at some time to come. For the West Indian to strengthen his position he must be taught the truth about British diplomacy. There was a great future for the Negro in the West Indies, but his eyes must be opened and he must be made to throw THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, AUGUST 26, 1922 Aviatrix, Visits Harlem Miss Bessie Coleman, the colored girl who studied aviation in France and won fame as an aviatrix on Prenoch and German aviation fields, arrived in New York city last week.

She is a bright and attractive young lady, possessing brilliant conversational gifts and charming manners. Miss Coleman is the only colored woman aviator in the world, and she is very modest and unassuming in manners. caste prejudice to the winds and unite with the American Negro in one common bond of fellowship. Hon. Sidney De Bourg, Leader of the Western Province of the West Indies, indorsed the statements made by the previous speaker and dwell upon the poor economic status of the West Indian Negro. Turning towards the Chairman, he declared that he (Mr Garvey) did not know how great he was Thanks to the Universal Negro Improvement Association, a great change was coming over the West Indies, and he was proud to say that in Trinidad, where he had lived, there were now thirty-three branches of the Association. Owing to the late hour, the discussion was brought to a close, to be resumed the following morning. The Case of India Hon Rudolph Smith, Leader of the Eastern Province of the West Indies then introduced to the assembly Mr. Muzumdar, Indian patriot and a member of the non-co-operation movement of which Gandhi is the head. Mr Muzumdar paid a tribute to the work the Universal Negro Improvement Association was doing, and expressed his agreement with the sentiments during the debate Indians were suffering in the same way as the Negroes of the West Indies, he said. He then proceeded to recite the incidents of the persecution of Gandhi, and expressed his conviction that the British people would some day pay the penalty for their misrule. The meeting then came to a close. MORNING SEBSION, AUGUST 17, 1922 The proceedings of Thursday morning were opened by the Hon. President-General and Acting Speaker in Convention in the usual manner. The Secretary-General read the minutes, which were adopted. Discussing the Politics and the Future of the West Indian Negro This subject was one in which there was a great deal of interest centered, and consequently the delegates took a lively part in the discussion, especially those who came from the West Indies or formerly lived in those parts. The trend of the discussion showed that the Negro was a negligible factor in politics in the West Indies, owing to the British colonial system under which the majority of the West Indians were deprived of their vote. It also came out that educationally there was much to be desired in the West Indies, but since the establishment of the U. N. I. A. in those parts a great change has come over the outlook of the masses and the attitude towards their affairs. Hon. Arnold Ford, of New York, who is a native of Barbados, opened the proceedings by giving a comprehensive expose of the Negro in the West Indies. He said there was no such thing as 'manhood suffrage.' In the West Indies money talked, and the people were actually distranchised because in those places where they have the vote it depends on the amount of property or the salary earned by the voter. He instanced the triumph of the British Government in disfranchising the Negro in Barbados soon after emancipation by parceling all the land to whites and leaving the Negro in a much worse position than he was before. He referred also to the fact that it was not the policy of the British Government to grant autonomy to any country where the colored people outnumber the whites. He had that on the authority of the British Government, and as to the future, he said, so long as Great Britain is mistress of the seas she will hold the power they will pass over she lost the power they will pass over she power unless something be done for the black people to establish themselves. Educationally the people have few opportunities, and if the Negro desires to become a professional man he has to go to America or England to study his profession. With regards to the West Indian and American Negro, in the West Indies the Negro is always prepared to welcome the American Negro in a brotherly and fraternal manner, and if there is friction it is only started in this country through propaganda. He thought that the only salvation for the future of the West Indies is contact of the people with the American Negro, fraternal and commercial contact. Hon. B. A. Haines, of Newport News, who originally hailed from British Honduras, gave a graphiodepilation of the condition in his native land, which was a Crewn colony ruled by white adminin- cators. Under the United States the Negro had no vote in the Legislature, the members being either officials on friends nominated by the governor. He said that a few Negroes are nominated for the legislature, but that is chiefly to keep them from agitating against the government. As to the conditions of the people there generally, they were not lynched in the manner of the South but from his point of view they were still being lynched; his interpretation of lynching being the taking away of a man's right, depriving him of justice and the right to live; he cannot defend himself. White folks were white folks all over the world and in regard to these there was practically no difference of treatment of the West Indian or American Negro. Educationally the facilities in this country were greater, but he thought the future of both the American or West Indian Negro depended on one another and until the American and the West Indian Negro stretched across the right hand of fellowship and enforced each other in brotherly love they would always be lynched. Hon. R. L. Tobit, of British Guiana, also spoke on conditions prevailing especially in British Guiana, Bermuda and India and he was the seno of the manhood suffrage and spoke of the tendency of the West Indian Negro to be a bit selfish when in a high position. Referring to the educational advantages of the West Indies, which also constituted a qualification for a candidate, he stated that in the island of Barbados one was able to secure the highest educational degrees from the University of Durham. In the three colonies to which he referred the people had the electing system, but, owing to local conditions and restrictions, they were taken as an advantage of their opportunity. He referred to the infringements on the rights of the people, and instanced the fact that he was Prevented from Landing in Trinidad while on his way to British Guiana. There were certain laws which curtailed privileges. He referred to the fact, however that through the work of the U. N. I. A. they were getting several prominent men of the race to take interest in the affairs of the different islands and some of them have been elected to the different legislative tures. They were determined to better their status as regards political affairs and they were looking to the J. I. A. to bring about the unification of Negro peoples of the world and a solidarity of interest so that as one great philanthropist shall march together to the land of the forefathers Hon J. E. Gadsby of Panama made a very diverting speech as referring to the West Indian, referring to those in Panama and those of his native land, Barbados. He objected to the term West Indian or American Negro and thought we should all regard ourselves as Universal Negroes it was only the White Man's Propaganda that sought to make a difference between the two groups. In regard to the education he said even with the limited facilities offered when a Negro graduated with a degree he found he had no work to do unless he went to raise canes. He also referred to the petty prejudices arising through the different shades of color, which prejudices were encouraged by the white man in those parts. As a result of this if you are a black fellow and you want a yellow girl you have a tough job. With regard to the lathusm of Panama he thought that the name West Indian alone was detrimental, because they sometimes get unfair treatment at the hands of the authorities. He urged upon the Negroes to think more seriously of themselves and asked them to encourage race consciousness by not allowing any pictures in their house but black pictures and not to allow their children to use any but black dolls and if possible they should set about to wear black shirts. Hon. Charles Dixon of Atlantic City in the course of his remarks referred to the island of Jamaica and to the political status of the people there, and said that much of the condition of the people there is due to the prejudice instilled by the white man among the Negroes of different hues and colors. Since the visit of Lady Henrietta Davis the day before had been a great awakening of race laconicness, and he believed the future of Jamaica would be bright if they would realize that they should bring all Negroes together on one common platform. The Cuban Negro Hon Commissioner Morales of Cuba spoke of the sufferings of West Indians in Cuba, where they were not protected by the British Consul and where they were thus at the mercy of the local authorities. He mentioned an instance when during the revolution of 1917 many West Indians were shot down like dogs, and although the British government collected a large indemnity not one of the relatives of the men in Panama, in the Republic of Panama the position of Indian Negro also is that he is not considered by anybody. The only salvation, the only future for the West Indian Negro was the U N I A. With regard to the Cuban Negro, his condition was not much better. The Cuban Negro had not the privilege of attending a white university, and there was not any black university. Although theoretically black and white are politically equal, the black man can never reach to the higher ranks of society nor to a higher position than a sergeant in the police force or the army. He had only met one exception to that. He referred to the fact, however, that the U N I A. A had done very much to improve matters and to get the rights of the Cuban Negro respected. Hon. Meyers of St. Louis referred to the island of Jamaica and spoke of the conditions of the Negro previous to the war of 1914. He also spoke of the treatment accorded West Indian soldiers, he having been in the army, by the white officers during the war and agreed generally with the strictures placed on the British Colonial Administration. He thought that efforts should be made not only as far as policing, but also as training officers and teachers of the Negro race to instill into them a greater amount of race consciousness and to teach them the history of the race and the achievements of our great man. The debate was then closed after several other speakers had spoken. Negre Cost Baron The Hgn. Digis was asked by the President general at that stage to introduce to the convention Mr. Sterling of Pitsburgh, and he did so. He stapped that Mr. Sterling was one of the big business men of the country who was not so well known because he depicted himself much more of work than anything else. He had taken great interest in the U. N. W. L. A. and the work they had been doing all over the work. The President-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, on his tour of the nation, has been approached by hundreds of loyal members and well wishers of the Association in complaints against the treatment they have received from several of the various departments of the Organization at headquarters, and from individual officers and employees at headquarters, as also against the conduct of certain Executive Officers whilst on the field. The President-General is grieved of the many complaints and hereby begins to persuade that complaint department is now established, and attached to his office. All persons having business with the department, officer or employee of the Organization will please write to P. B—If you love the Organization and Serve, be sure to provide a service to the race, then you will not fail to support and treasuring the part of official officers and employees of the Organization, serve on whose the person be held by he or she. Have some knowledge of international report it. If you have any special information you should don't wait until it is looted. Mr. Sterling said he was not a great speaker, but he was a great doe. There were several friends present who knew what he had done. He was glad to meet so many of our people in a great centre such as Liberty Hall, and while looking around the city yesterday afternoon he was pleased to see how many people of the race there are who look so happy, at least most of them. He was also glad to see the people of the town and he hoped to meet the U. N. and help our people. He said our people needed help; the main thing being that they should be able to make something, and when they could make something they would be recognised in the United States by the white man. He was The Only Colored Man invited to attend the millionaires' congress of the United States and at those meetings he is asked many questions about the race and takes part in many of the discussions. Referring to the coal business, he said there was a time when we would need coal and suggested that the U. N. L. A. should interest itself in coal mining. When we are working for ourselves and running our own mines neither the unions nor the government will intertere with us. He had been thirty years in the business, he said, and knew all that there was, having started from the bottom to his present position today He dilated on the profits of the coal industry a weiwei and answered the U. N. L. A. would consider it. Mr. House, who is a partner and secretary to Mr. Sterling, was also allowed to briefly address the audience, which he did in very appropriate terms, referring also to the advantages of cooperation and industry. The Hon Secretary-General announced that it was a red letter day for the U. N. I. A., being the birthday of their leader and he suggested that they should mark the occasion as was done to reference to other great men in the world by showing their appreciation that God had blessed them and beowed upon them such a man to take them out of the crisis which they were undergoing. He referred to the lines of the well-known poet Lives of great men all remind us. We can make our lives sublime; And departing, leave behind us. Footprints on the sands of time. Our President General has already left us he said, footprints that we might well follow. He made the motion that we today record with gracious apprehension this thirty-fifth anniversary of the natal day of His Excellency, the President-General, and that we rise to our feet and give him a rousing three cheers that God may spare his life to live on, until he sees the fruition of his efforts." This motion was passed with acclamation. An amendment by the Hon. Ford, of New York, that the memburs should stand and sing the national anthem before the cheering, was unanimously adopted. Hon Commissioner Tobitt moved as a further amendment that we not only demonstrate our appreciation, but that hereafter the birthday of our President-General be placed on the calendar to be observed by the Negro peoples of the world as a holiday. The national anthem was most feelingly sung by the members of the convention and visitors after which three cheers were given for the President-General, three for the U. N. I. A., and three for the Red, Black and the Green. The morning's proceedings were closed after the appointment of the committee to discuss the politics and the future of the West Indian Negro. The members appointed were. The Hons. Sidney Do Bourg, West Indian Leader, Rudolph Smith, of New York, Tobitt, of British Guiana, West of Bocas del Toro, and Gadaby of Panama. AFTERNOON SECSION. AUGUST The convention reassembled at 2:33 a.m. the afternoon, and after disposing of the usual preliminaries, but before entering on the business of the day, delivered a signal honor on the President-General as a mark of recognition of the services he has rendered and is rendering in behalf of the Negro race, by unanimously passing a resolution to the effect that August 17, the birthday of His Excellency Hon. Marcus Garvey, Provisional President of Africa and President-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Assso- station, be observed hereforth as an international holiday by the Negroes of the world and that the event be memorialized for the benefit of the opening generations by record being made every year in the Negro almanac of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. The resolution moved by Hon. R. H Tobbit, and seconded by Hon. Henry Hodge, was passed without a dissenting vote amidst enthusiastic cheering. This honor conferred on the President-General on his 83rd birthday is the most patriotic demonstration of race love and race pride that could ever be made by an assemblage of Negroes representing the race in all walks of life from all parts of the world, and gave ample proof of the fact that Negroes are no longer slow to recognize meritorious service, especially where the interests of the entire race are affected. Certainly no greater tribute could be paid to an individual, who, though a young man, has accomplished more than any Negro, past or present, in bringing together into one organization millions of Negroes from all parts of the world. The convention then proceeded to the order of the day, which was the discussing the writing of history for the Negro. The discussion brought forth very intellectual discourse relative to the importance of the subject, the part history had played in giving ambition and inspiration to successing generations of the various races from the achievements and accomplishments of their ancestors, and the development of the Negro race going back to the days when Negro civilization dominated the world. Hon. Marcus Garvey, as chairman, in introducing the subject, said the discussion was meant to bring out the initiating of a history exclusively our own, where we would write of our own heroes, lionize our own celebrities and adore the great men and women of our race. We want a history, he said, that will lead succeeding generations of our race to realize that we have had in our race men as able, men as great, characters as famous and as noble as those of other races. We want also to bring to this present generation the glorious achievements of our ancestors—those who lived in the days of Ethiopia, when we had a glorious civilization of our own, when we were regarded as the most human race. Up to the present time, he said, the Negro has not written a history of his own to know something about himself he has to depend upon tradition or the spoken word of somebody, but when it comes to historical record there was no such medium or agency to properly educate him to the knowledge of himself.

So that if we regarded it as a matter of science it is absolutely necessary that as a people we have some means whereby the records of our deeds and doings and achievements and accomplishments be made so that future generations may be able to look down upon them and truly and properly estimate them. There was also a psychological value to the proper recording of history, because it tends to stimulate and to engender the ideals of a people. And there was a social value to the recording of history, for, said he it was the French Revolution that brought about the realization of the great democratic force that is not only changing the whole face of Europe but crossed the Atlantic and brought democracy to America and has realized today what we know and what we think of in terms of democracy—the self-determination of people and the rights of weaker nations and weaker groups. The speaker attributed the sufferings that we as a race have undergone to the fact that our forefathers did not realize the importance and the value and significance of history, and when we began to discover ourselves we will go back to find out where we came from. As an illustration of lack of knowledge of our past, Dr. Maloney inquired how many of us knew that Socrates, the great philosopher of Greece, was a black man, how many of us know that a black man occupied the chain of St. Peter in Rome as a Pope, how many of us know that Augustine, the one who crystallized the religion of Jesus Christ, was a black man, how many of us know that that great genius, the great scholar, the great philosopher the great linguist Blyden was a black man? Few of us know of Toussaint L'Ouverture and Phyllis Wheatley and others who have wrought wonders. The great, majority of us do not know of the great achievements of this race because our people have not taken seriously to the task of writing the records of what is past. Our boys and girls, the speaker said, need to be inspired, and the inspiration that shall come to them is a different kind of inspiration than we have with God. We have been inspired in the abstract, he declared. We have been inspired by the deeds of Pitt and Burke, Napoleon and Cromwell, but, said he, we need men in our race now who know how to interpret history scientifically; men who understand what it is to give scientific interpretation of history. We need such men to take their pens in hand and record the deeds and accomplishments and achievements of Ethiopia throughout the world, and there could not be a more heroic call to service than the calling of men to such service. In concluding, he said the task is stupendous, and when we shall have picked out the individuals of our race who have been famous in the realm of accomplishment and shall emblazon upon them the carmarks of eternity so to make them absolutely eternal to all the ages, it is then that our sons shall come up, shall read the records of these great men, and our daughters shall rise up with the honor and dignity of queens and accomplish things and then we shall attain to a place in the sun and make a record that shall be as pernament as the eternal ages, and shall be as real and fundamental as life itself. Hon. R. H. Tobilt followed with a masterly speech delivered with singular eloquence and bristling with a mass of facts relating to the accomplishments of the Negro from the earliest periods dating nearly as far back as the creation. He showed a wonderful grasp of the subject and delighted his hearers as he unearthed from the dead and distant past the achievements of men who unmistakably belonged to our race. He emphasized the need of recording and writing Negro history, but, he said, we have to be very careful in gleaning correct data in order to have a correct history before our children. As a school teacher in Bermuda, Mr. Tobilt said he had always taught his students Negro history, in such that on one occasion the inspector of schools called on them to write an essay on their favorite hero, and there was hardly a child in the school that wrote the life of any white man, but wrote on such persons as Hamibal, Dunbar and other notable Negro characters. His speech created a profound impression, and with men having such a comprehensive knowledge of the past as Mr. Tobilt displayed, a history of the race can be evolved that will redound to the credit of the U. N. L. A. and will give stimulus to the rising generation to emulate the deeds of their ancestors whose records have been hidden away for ages. The other delegates who spoke on the subject were: Hon. Duse Mohammed, Hon. C. B. Graham, Hon. Mrs. M. Johnson, Hon. E. N Morales, Hon. R. L. Poston, Hon. Mrs. Robertson, Hon. B. R. Haynes. At the close of the discussion the Chair appointed a committee to consider the question and make recommendations to the Convention. The committee comprised Hon. Duse Mohammed Hon. Wilhelm Ellegor, Sir John E. Bruce, Hon. R H Tobilt and Hon. Robt. L. Poston. The next matter coming before the Convention was the Annual Report of the Secretary-General. It was a voluminous document dealing in a concise way with the various phases of activities of the organization, the divisional strength, etc. and the outlook for the future. The report was received and will be discussed later. This brought the session to a close about 4.20 o'clock. EVENING SESSION, AUGUST 17, 1922 On Thursday evening a rally was held, the first of a series to raise funds to help defray the expenses of the delegation which will soon sail from New York to present the claims of the Negro race before the statesmen of the world assembled at Geneva, Switzerland. The spacious building was filled from an early hour with an enthusiastic crowd, testifying to the interest which is being manifested in the important task assigned by the Third Annual Convention of the Negro peoples of the world. An excellent concerted program was presented. The Black Star Line Band was present in full strength, under the leadership of Prof. William Isles, and enhanced its reputation for providing first-class entertainment The Universal choir, under Prof Arnold Ford, rendered an anthom in fine style. Madame Houston, the famed soprano, was heard at her beat, and Miss Parris was also heard to good advantage. Hon R. H. Tobitt, Commissioner to British Guiana, early in the program put the audience in a merry mood with a song, "Back Home to Africa," with a catchy refrain in which the audience joined. There was also a recitation by Mrs. Holly. The program finished, the Hon. Marcus Garvey explained that Liberica will that might be holding first rally since its construction, because there was a big item on the agenda of the month to be taken care of, and that was the sending abroad of the delegates selected by the convention to attend the assembly of the League of Nations, which would meet at Geneva on September 4. Seven persons were being sent, and it would require between ten thousand and twelve thousand dollars to send the delegation abroad, and keep it there in the dignity becoming a great movement. Now York was being asked to raise $3,000 and Philadelphia was taxed at $2,000. The other divisions would also contribute. Sir William Ferris, Assistant President-General, gave a short address. He said he was very glad indeed that it had been decided to send a delegation. He was very much impressed with the personnel, and was certain the Universal Negro Improvement Association would receive added prestige from the event. This was a material age, and while splendid speeches and brilliant articles were useful, they alone would not advance the race. Something concrete must be done. It was natural that the Universal Negro Improvement Association should make the first step in this direction, because the U N I A. possessed a strength and a stability and a moral fibre not to be found in any other Negro organization. Marcus Garvey had given the world the idea of a world-wide confraternity of black people that would never die. Donations Invited The Hon. Marcus Garvey I a brief speech invited donations. For four and a half years they had been agitating, he said, and now the first practical stop towards the acquisition of territory in Africa was being taken. The delegates were going to Europe as the Misters Plenipotentiary of the race to ask for the handing over of the German Colonies in East Africa and Southwest Africa, wreasted from Germany during the world war, and it was their duty to support them. Hon. Rudolph Smith also delivered a stirring address in which he stressed the importance of the mission, not only to the present, but to future generations. The collection was taken and counted and the President-General announced that $608.60 was subscribed in cash, and there were pledges of $727.50 to be paid by Saturday. It was then announced that the seco- It was then announced that the sec- ond rally would be held at 3.80 o'clock on Sunday afternoon. The function then came to a close. Birthday Presentation Early in the evening's program a pleasant function took place when the Hon. Marcus Garvey was the recipient of a gift from the Black Cross Nurses of the Universal Negro Improvement Association in honor of his birthday. The presentation was made by Miss Iannahla Lawrence, head of the Black Cross Nurses, who, in a neat speech, delivered the felicitations of the Nurses and expressed the hope that his life would be spared to see the frultion of his plan. Mr. Garvey suitably replied, paying a tribute to the Nurses for their un-failing enthusiasm and devotion to duty future. Among them he suggested that there be a Privy Council; that certain officers be appointed instead of being elected, and that before certain officers be allowed to function in their offices they be made to undergo a course of instruction at the university recently founded by the association. He urged upon all the deputies and delegates to continue the good work of the association until they had carried out their great program and made a very effective and eloquent appeal for unity and support in the great work they had before them for the redemption of Africa. At the conclusion many officers made personal statements and others desired that the President-General exclude them from the general imputa- and I trust that the association will see to their rights." The convention then EVENING SESSION AUGUST The convention revered, the Hon. K. the chair. The large sons present bore all to the grip which he have on the people. Maintained among the debates were for attention. There were changes in the course deliberations, and the silent appreciation of fireworks. Before agenda bused upon, there were the MORNING SESSION, AUGUST 1, 1922 Friday's session opened as usual with a large attendance of delegates. The Hon. Marcus Garvey, President-General, was in the chair and opened the proceedings with the singing of the hymn, "From Greenland and Icy Mountains," following with prayer. The Hon. Secretary-General read the minutes of the preceding session, which, after some slight alterations, were adopted. The Secretary-General's Report Several references were made to the Secretary-General's report, which had been read at the preceding session. Some members thought that it should contain a statement as to the monies received by the Secretary-General's office. The chairman informed the deputies who asked for those statements that the figures will be given in the course of the report of the Chancellor. Hon. G. D. Crease, of Canada, made a motion in reference to the report to the effect that in view of the fact that certain divisions were mentioned, while others which had done better had not been mentioned the part mentioning the names of those divisions be deleted from the report, as it might tend to create an amount of disorganization in the field. Hon. Commissioner Morales (Cuba) seconded. This motion brought about a great deal of discussion principally by delegates from New Jersey and Canada, who stated they knew as a fact that there were divisions in their respective states which had done better than those which had been mentioned. The motion was eventually adopted without any dissenting vote. The Report of the High Chancellor The Hon. the High Chancellor next read his annual report of the finances of the U. N. I. A. the A C. L., and the several funds and allied industries. These statements, which showed that the finances of the organization were in a satisfactory condition with a substantial balance in hand and also a reserve fund, besides considerable real estate, aroused an unusual amount of interest among the delegates and visitors, and there was a great deal of note-taking. The High Chancellor wound up his report by tending his resignation to the convention as High Chancellor, assuring them that he was still loyal to the association, that he was willing to assist in the work of the association as far as in him lay, and concluded by assuring them that he would never do anything against the welfare of the association. Hon. H. V. Plummer (New York) moved that the report of the High Chancellor be referred to a committee of five for consideration and report Hon. C. S. Bourne (Guatemala) seconded. Hon. G. A. Roberts (New York) moved as an amendment that the report be printed and a copy be given to each delegate. This was seconded. Hon B West (Thomas Del Toro) moved as an amendment to the amendment that the printed report he circulated only among bona fide delegates of the U. N. I. A. This was seconded and on being put to the vote was carried by a vote of 118 for and 11 against. The chairman announced that the original motion and the first amendment were lost Hon Commissioner Morales (Cuba) moved that a committee of five accountants be appointed by the chair to investigate the books of the High Chancellor and his report and that they should report to the house before his resignation is accepted Hon. G. Thorpe seconded and this motion was carried. The following committee was appointed by the chair. Hona Clifford Bourne of Guatemala. A. D. Pettiford of Detroit, J. L. Diggs of Baltimore H. Carrol of Indiana and L. Bundy of Cleveland The President-General's Report The Hon. President-General next delivered his report. He explained that he had been unable to complete his report in writing owing to the pressure of his many duties and would be forced to supplement his written statement by addressing them. He then delivered a very lucid summary of the year's work, dotting the many difficulties which the association had to surmount in order that they could have been presented with the reports of the officers, which, in the main, were quite satisfactory. He explained to the delegates how he had been beset throughout the year with a number of incompetent, disloyal, dishonest and characterless individuals as members of the Executive Council, who were unable to perform their functions but instead carried on intrigues, plots and other evil designs against the welfare of the organization and himself. He had decided to work no longer with such individuals because, with the exception of two, they were not such as he could recommend. It was left to the convention to understand that matter clearly. He gave some instances of the machinations of certain individuals whose names, however, he did not specify. Finally he made certain recommendations as to the manner of securing the services of competent men if the association was to be carried out successfully in the future. Among them he suggested that there be a Privy Council; that certain officers be appointed instead of being elected, and that before certain officers be allowed to function in their offices they be made to undergo a course of instruction at the university recently founded by the association. He urged upon all the deputies and delegates to continue the good work of the association until they had carried out their great program and made a very effective and eloquent appeal for unity and support in the great work they had before them for the redemption of Africa. At the conclusion many officers made personal statements and others desired that the President-General exclude them from the general imputation contained in his remarks about the officers. The President-General declined to make any further statements on the matter. Hon H Plummer, New York, moved that the report and recommendations of the President-General be the agenda for next Tuesday. Hon H F Carroll, Indiana, seconded The motion was carried unanimously, after which the adjournment was taken till the afternoon. AFTERNOON BEBSION, AUGUST 19. 1922 The session this afternoon was consumed in debating matters not on the agenda, but which arose out of the annual address of the President-General delivered at the morning session. The President-General's address having contained some recommendations affecting the integrity and standing of certain executive officers, the question arose as to whether the reports of those officers affected should be submitted and read in open convention, in twitching the constitution, which provided for reports only from the High Potentate the President-General the Secretary-General and the High Chancellor Hon U S Poston, Minister of Industry and Labor, requested the courtesy of the house to be permitted to make a report of his work as head of that department, and Hon Sydney De Bourg, leader of the Western Province of the West Indies raised the point that as the West Indian leader and as an official that is outside of the constitution, governed by different laws enacted by this Convention, it was his duty to put his report to the year before the Convention before anything could affect him officially. Mon. Sydney De Bourg's Report The President-General at this stage drew attention to certain designs planned against the association by some disgruntled officers, and pointed out that the matter which was settled as a result of the question arising out of the discussion relative to the position of the association in respect to the convention was a very important one, in that it absolved the U. N. I. A. from responsibility in the matter of salaries for those officers who it was agreed were elected by the convention and not by the U. N. I. A. which was simply a party to the convention. The President-General said: "This is a question raised by the gentlemen themselves concerned—in that a member of this convention who happens to be a delegate of the Universal Negro Improvement Association desired to have assumed on behalf of the U. N. I. A. the responsibility of these various gentlemen, and they themselves got on the floor and denied their desire to be assumed into the fold of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and raised a point that they were obligated to the International Convention and not to the Universal Negro Improvement Association. The U. N. I. A. therefore has its legal moral and financial right to protect. Can this convention compel the U. N. I. A. to do an act that it is not disposed to do? Can this convention compel the U. N. I. A. to pay a man's salary, when they are not obligated to submit any report to the association? These are the things involved. It is a legal question and I trust that the members of the association will see to the protection of their rights." The convention then adjourned. The convention reassembled in the evening, the Hon. Marous Garvey in the chair. The large number of persons present bore eloquent testimony to the grip which the deliberations have on the people. Perfect order was maintained among the onlookers and the debates were followed with rapid attention. There were some heated exchanges in the course of the evening's deliberations, and the gallery rocked in silent appreciation of the oratorical fireworks. Before agenda business was entered upon, there were the usual preliminaries, followed by a short musical program to which the Black Star Line Band, the Universal Choir, Commissioner Morales (with the violin) and Mra. Florence Cochr n. of Cleveland, Ohio, contributed. Mr. Sebastian, who has earned a reputation as an elocutionist with his stirring recitations, laden with racial inspiration, lent variety to the program, and Mr. J. Truman Bell gave a humorous rectal. An Objection The minutes of the previous session were read by the Secretary General, Rt. Hon. Fred A. Toote. Hon. S. A. Haynes moved their adoption and Hon. H. F. Carroll seconded. The chairman stated he desired to express unreadiness and vacated the chair, Rt. Hon. E. L. Gaines taking charge of the meeting. Stating his unreadiness, Mr Garvey said the minutes failed to record technical issues brought before the convention which might form a basis for legal action. He accordingly moved that a certified copy of the transactions of the afternoon session be placed in the minutes and become the minutes of the convention for the afternoon session Hon T W Anderson seconded. The motion was carried. The Hon. Monsus Garvey then resumed the chair. The West Indian Leaders Bir Clifford S. Bourne, Commissioner to Guatemala, then introduced a motion which required that the West Indian leaders be demanded to tender their resignations, as they had not demonstrated competency and efficiency and had not lived up to the laws governing their office. The motion further required that only West Indian deputies and delegates be allowed to vote on the matter. The mover said he had presented the motion in compliance with instructions he had received from two divisions under his jurisdiction. Hon. D. E. Thoug, Commissioner to Spanish Honduras, seconded. Several delegates rose on unreadiness, the consensus of opinion being that the motion was out of order at that stage and premature. Further, the motion could not properly apply to the Leader of the Eastern Province, who had not proceeded to the West Indies. After a lengthy and heated debate, the motion was ruled out of order at that stage. Hon. Ludolph Smith I. Leader of the Eastern Province of the West Indies then made his request in an impassioned speech he defended him against the immination that he was incompetent or had not lived up to the laws governing his office. He characterized it as unfair and unjust on the part of any delegate to make any such suggestion which had absolutely no foundation. If the convention at any time required it, he would willingly relegish the position to which he was elected at the last convention, but he must record his vehement pr test against the nature of the attack wontly made against him. He then explained that he had been on the orders of the Administrator and the High Executive Council, sent on a tour in the United States shortly after the convention rose, and on returning to New York, was making preparations to proceed to the West Indies when it was decided in council that his visit to the West Indies should be delayed until after the present convention. He had worked hard and it was for the administrator to state in what manner he had performed his duties. Indorsement from the Chair The chairman supported the statement that the Leader of the Eastern Province of the West Indies had been kept in the United States to help the administration make certain explanations to the people relative to the condition of the Black Star Line and to brace up the membership. The honorable gentleman had done exceptional work in different sections of the country and in his opinion the Lender of the Eastern Province of the West Indies was one of the most loyal and devoted members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. The Hon Sydney de Bourg, Leader of the Western Province of the West Indies, then asked permission to speak. He said he felt as if he was on his trial. He had been sent to San Domingo to protect the interests of the association there, and he had succeeded in doing so after overcoming many difficulties. He challenged any man to prove charges that he was incompetent. He had fulfilled the duties which he was assigned. He was not sent out to raise money. Hon. Van Putten, of San Domingo, said, to his knowledge, divisions had charges of incompetence and misdemeanor to be laid against the honorable gentleman, and there were delegates in convention who were prepared to substantiate those charges. Hon. Adrian Johnson objected to the alleged charges being discussed in that manner. If charges were preferred, there should be a proper trial. He moved that the charges be received and steps be taken to have a proper trial. Hon. L. Taylor seconded. The Chairman ruled there was no need for a motion. At this stage Hon. F. F. W. Kirby moved that the adjournment be taken until 10 o'clock next morning. Hon. T. C. Clashen. Government. Living Age: "A tale so strange, so powerful, so unusual, that there is small difficulty in seeing why the ten members of the Academie Goncourt awarded it their prize" George U Cloud in St. Louis Argus: "There arises occasionally an epocal literary work, and Rene Maran, full-blooded African Negro, has given the world a piece of literature which will be read 500 years from now." Baltimore Evening Sun: "The force, the tremendous force and power of its simplicity, hammers upon one's mind like the beat of the tomtom which sounds throughout the text, and one realizes where its genius lies." The motion was carried and the meeting was adjourned accordingly. The afternoon session was convened at three o'clock and was opened in the usual way by the singing of the hymn, "From Greenland's Icy Mountains," followed by prayer from the Chair. The Hon. Marous Garvey, President-General presided as acting Speaker in Convention. The Women's Exhibit The minutes of the morning session were read by the Secretary-General, and on motion duly made and seconded were adopted. Hon. H. V. Plummer: I desire to call attention to the fact that the minutes made reference to a motion to the effect that discussion of the President-General's address be made the order of the day on August 21, which day has been set apart for the opening of the Women's Exhibit I therefore beg to move that Tuesday, the 22nd, be set apart for discussion of the President-General's report and that same be paced on the agenda for that day Hon E. N. Morales (Cuba) seconded the motion. Hon. Thomas W Anderson (Louisiana): We have heard the President-General's report and understand it. He has stated his position clearly in my opinion, and there is nothing for us to do but accept the report with the recommendations contained therein or reject it now. It seems to me a waste of time for us to defer this matter until Tuesday, and I will offer an amendment that we take up the matter this afternoon Hon H V Plummer There are many important matters encouched in the recommendation in the President-General's report which, if taken up, will mean that we would probably have to enter upon amending the constitution. In my opinion it would take up the entire afternoon and tonight, and therefore I think the matter should be deferred until Tuesday The amendment to the motion was put and carried, 120 voting for and 25 against Hon. U S Poston (New York) A point of personal privilege I notice the agenda for this afternoon eliminates temporarily the reports of the executive other than the Chancellor, the Secretary-General and the President-General. As an executive heading a department I feel that before any action is taken on any report affecting me that the Convention should hear my report as the head of a department I feel that my personal privileges are infringed up in that you intend to act upon a report touching on me without hearing my a do of the word for the year just closed The Chair. In answer to the question raised by the honorable gentleman, I wish to state that the constitution of the Universal Negro Improvement Association provides for only four official reports—the annual address of His Highness the Potentate, the annual address and report of the President-General and Administrator, the annual statement of the Chancellor, the annual report and address of the Chair. It is also matter, it is laid before the court to hear of any other report, or a matter of cur- tury extended to any individual who defer to make a report before this convention. All officers have their duties described or the administration. The armament through its Powder, though the President-general, through the Secretary-General, and Chancellor make their annual report. Any other report is a matter of court, extended to the individual Hon U S I' s on—I would request the chair to add me in making that request of the convention. The Chair—You are entitled to make my request of the convention. Hon U S I Teste--I ask through the Ch'r that I be permitted to make a report of my work The Chair--The Minister of Labor and Industry has requested the privileges of making a report. Those who are in favor will say 'Aye'. Those against, will say, 'No' The house was divided on the question, and a count was taken which resulted in 124 voting in favor of hearing the report and 11 against Hon J S DeBourg (Leader of the Eastern Province of the West Indies) A point of privilege, Mr. Chairman, As the West Indian Leader and as an official that is outside of the constitution, governed by different laws enacted by this convention, it is my duty to put my report for the year before this convention, before anything can affect me in my official duty and in my own official capacity. The Chair—The courtesy of the House is extended to the Minister of Labor and Industry to make a report to the House. Mr. DeBourg (interrupting)—I am on my legs again. I want that matter settled once and for all—that I have the power by the laws governing me as leader of the Western Province of the West Indies, to present my report to this convention before anything can touch me as leader of the Western Province. The Chair—If you are going to take up this convention's time in hearing reports from individuals who are purely departmental workers, it means we are going to stay here for the balance of the month hearing reports. These reports are incidental to the work of the organization. A man is elected to an office and performs his duty under an administration, but it does not mean that every individual has to come here and make a report. However, if the convention wants to grant that privilege, it is up to you. I am only warning the convention of the time which will be consumed. You are going to have yourselves flooded with various reports, and you want to consider the time which will be taken up. Mr DeBourg—I claim the indulgence of this convention. I presented to the Speaker of the convention a copy of my report in consequence of which he knows all I have to report, but it will be your privilege to hear me. H. V Plummer—To a question of personal privilege The idea is this: If the head of a department presented a copy or his original report to the administrator or President - General, under whose administration he is working, that is supposed to settle the matter. The time of this convention is not supposed to be taken up with individual reports. Mr DeBourg-I owe my allegiance to the Potentate, and I claim that I am entitled to submit my report here. The Chair I do not feel the time of the convention should be taken up hearing reports, in view of the fact that each man holds his position under the administration, according to the results. We have probably about twenty-one persons who are heads of departmenta.

There wae a great deal of discussion in the hali before the Fellow Members of the Negro Race: . % Why not support your own industries and help to find em- ployment for your Race? Every penny or every dollar you spend with the Universal, Negro Improvement Association helps to strengthen thé financial standing of the Race. The more you patronize your own entere rises the more will we be able to employ more members of our Race. Already we employ about five thousand Negroes all over America and about four thousand abroad. In New York alone, we employ over two hundred. If you expect the race to grow financially; if you expect the. race to become economically independent; if you expect the race - to be respected generally; if you expect us to run more factories and operate more enterprises; if xu expect us to employ more Negroes; then you must support the enterprises we have already, started.

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 domination.

If you do not desire to bring the balance sheet in New York on the ground that New York has too many many members in the Universal Negro Improvement Association, I will take you to a neutral crowd—I will take you to Georgia, to Texas, to Mississippi; I will take you to California and if you do not want a Negro audience to decide it I will be fair enough to say, "Go and get an audience of white men and let them decide." If you believe you won't get a fair trial Challenges DuBois, Johnson, Pickens I repeat again the challenge I have given to DuBois the challenge I have given to Woldon Johnson, and the challenge to Pickens. And about Puens, let me say that when he started to represent me about my visit to the Ku Klu Klan, after I had written him a letter inviting him to be present here during the convention, he wrote me a reply saying, "That because of my alliance with the Ku Klu Klan and all such things he found reason for opposing me" I wrote back a letter and said "I am unwilling to be misrepresented and I am not willing to carry on any personal flight." If you believe you have a case against me I invite you to not meet me on a public platform and you can there lay your charges about my alliance with the Ku Klux Klan to the public and I will reply to you and allow the public to judge in the matter Pickens once answered for several weeks until after he had given out his letters to the New York News. He gave out the letter he wrote to me but he did not give out the reply that I sent to him which was an invitation to meet me on a public platform and there to charge me before the bar of the public opinion that I am in alliance with the Ku Klux Klan. He published his own letters but refused to publish that one. Then after he had sent his letters to all the Negro newspapers of the country to misrepresent me, about a week after he replied, saying that he did not think it was advisable, or words to that effect, to appear at a public meeting because he believed that public opinion might be the best judge in the method he was using. Now imagine stating your case against a man on your own platform, through your own papers, that you are working for, without giving the other man an opportunity to state his case and let those who listen be the judges. Now I say, Pickens, DuBos, Weldon Johnson, Bagnall, Chandler Owen, Phillip Randolph, come to Liberty Hall. state your case, because Garvey has stated his case against you and Garvey desires that you have a fair trial. It is not fair for me to state my case against you and not give you the opportunity to defend yourself. Come to Liberty Hall. If you don't want to come to Liberty Hall, let us go to the Palace Casino. If you do not want to go there, let us go to Madison Square Garden. If you do not want to go there, let us go to Carnegie Hall. If you do not wish to state your case in New York. I repeat I am willing to follow you anywhere throughout the world and meet you on any platform and state my case in defense of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and in defense of Marcu Garvey. (Applause.) Now, Negroes—if you are men—come across now Bring your balance sheet, bring your activities of the last ten years: bring your charges against Marcu Garvey, against the Universal Negro Improvement Association and against the Black Star Line, and let the world judge the issue between us. That is my message to you tonight. Sir Robert L. Poston speaks Sir Robert L. Poston, addressing His Supreme Highness, the Potentate; His Excellency, Hon. Marcus Garvey, Provisional President of Africa, the Supreme Deputy Officers of the High Executive Council, Delegates, Deputies and Friends, said I was talking to a gentleman this afternoon who, in all seriousness, asked me whether I thought we could really redeem Africa. I asked him what did he think it is that brings men a distance of 10,000 miles to New York to sit and legislate for thirty-one days in the hot month of August? Did he think that they have left their families and their loved ones just to have a month of pastime at a 'terrible expense? How simple some are? How foolish? Can we redeem Africa? Most certainly we can, and we shall, or we will die. Can we redeem Africa? Look at our children today in their present state and think how foolish such a question is. Shall we make a future for them? Shall we give them the things that this country denies? Shall we give them the right to be young ladies and gentlemen just as those who constitute the other races? If a handful of Irishmen can free Ireland; if Lenine can bring together the peasants to free Russia; if Gandhi can bring together the religiously divided Indians to strike a blow for the freedom of India, why cannot we 400,000,000 Negroes of the world come together for our freedom and for our liberation? Friends, I want to remind you tonight that its costs something to be free. You heard, with me, the other night that young Indian who spoke so eloquently here on the Gandhi movement. He said that 40,000 herentsa 40,000 followers of Gandhi are in the prisons tonight simply because they believe in the cause to the extent of laying down their lives on the altar in order that the principles they believe in might triumph. We talk about suffering. We talk about the little inconveniences to which we are placed sometimes. Why friends, that amounts almost to nothing when compared to what some of the other races of the world are suffering in order that they may have freedom and hand it down to their children. Hard-fought and long a fight may be Though powers of wrong be slow to yield. But right shall win the victory And freedom hold the battlefield SIR WILLIAM H. FERRIS' SPEECH Hon Sir William Ferris said I am glad to be here tonight and I thought of what Sir Robert Poston has said. This evening, while the band was playing I was thinking the same thoughts of the dynamic force and power that impaled this audience to come to this hall on this hot August night. I have attended other race conventions where I have seen great enthusiasm and heard flery orators who climbed the rocky heights of oratory and let their imagination soar. But in this audience I see a crowd of people who are Thoughtful, Serious and Determined We will find if we analyze the motives of their minds that they have a determination to rise. There is something the world war did to the duke's faces of marital. It stirred them and aroused them from the sleep of centuries. There is nothing like the clash of arms like the marshalling of 2000-0000 members of a race holding up the blood strained banner of suffering and taking part in that tremendous struggle which shook human nature to its very depths. And out of this world war there has emerged the desire of the Negro not only to be here in America but in the West Indies in both and Central America and in Africa and, therefore the black man dwells. Heretofore the colored man believed that he was something somewhat loer than the rest of mankind, that he should not aspire to the things others aspired to, that he could not hope to attain and achieve the things others attain and achieve. Today thanks to the Right Hon M us Garvey and the U N I A a Now Vision and a New Idea and a new prospect hover before the race and they now believe that what other men have accomplished and achieved the black man can accomplish and achieve. Mr Boston spoke of India I have had great deal of sympathy for India. She has been a sort of Rip Van Winkle among nations. Those of you who have read Washington Irving's book will remember that Rip Van Winkle went to the Coushkuki and slept, and when he woke up he was the same man but the world had moved on I have read several great writers of India who wrote poetry and built up the Hindu philosophy which preached Panthenology But while the Hindu philosopher was doing that the western world was studying the mysteries of science and applying it to modern methods and modern life. India did NOTICE! If You Are Interested in Your Race, You Will or Chap.

There is only one thing the teeming millions of Africa need. They have the ability to master science, Greek and theology, but what they need is the induction of the principles of modern science, the application to everyday life and training in modern industrial and commercial methods, and the Africans themselves. Wilt Redeem Africa That is why the U N I A has stood up under the fires of criticism as no other race organization has. It has character I stood by Narragaraett Pier one September day after a storm. The sea was so rough I could see the mounting leaping surging waves knocking holes in the sand and toasting the seaweed to the shore. But when they came to the jutting rocks they thrashed and dashed and beat against them, but were driven back again There is in the U N I A something just as the granite which is in those rocks, and that is character. The U N I A has reached a point where it is concerned with something more than mere dollars and cents. Money is necessary to carry on great enterprises money is necessary to provide you with the necessities of life, but the U N I A has Reached a Higher Point than the love of money. It has taken on the qualities of a religion and we mean by religion something that impels men to go on upifts mankind and womankind and makes a man think he is somebody in God’s sight and that he is somebody in his own sight. And to matter what other men may sing or feel it is the God vision that defines of a believing himself to be somebody which enables a man to aspire to hold and to spend his dollars and acquire his life to accomplish and achieve the ideal and purpose and aims of the I L A. And just as the character took wings and swam everywhere just as Mothodem except over the world so the I L A with its great vision of a redeemed race its vision of the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man will have these steady qualities that will enable it to last Improving its ideals and implanting its purpose in the hearts and minds of black men and women until they rise and achieve that which their ancestors have told for and dreamt—the vision of an uplifted race and a redeemed country (Applause) HON A.

THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, AUGUST 26, 1922 Aniversario de la Bendición de la Bandera Dominicana Celebrado en la Alta Escuela Wadleigh En la noche del miércoles pasado se celebró el clada organizada por la junta patriótica de damas domincanas de esta ciudad y la delegación política y obrera de aquella república, con motivo del aniversario de la bendición de la bandera. Las Diferentes Sesiones Celebradas Hasta la Fecha en la Gran Convención Han Redundado en Beneficio de Los Intereses Generales de la Raza—Los Irresponsables Excitados Por el Resultado Que Nuestra Organización Ha Obtenido Durante la Celebración Del Gran Conclave—Su Excelencia el Potentado Celebra Su Recepción Anual, Resultando Una Brillante Función Social Dustinguidas damas y caballeros y una representación de la Altanza Puertorriqueña ocuparón puesto en el escenario, abriendo el acto el luchador dominicane Sr Pablo Lopez, quien en pocas pero muy elocuentes frases expresó la gran significación que para todos los pueblos latino-americanos tenia la velada, honrando la hermosa bandera que alli ocupaaba sitio de hitori y que tres años antes habia sido bendecida en esta ciudad. El Sr Lopez mani festó con hechos fidedignos la gran opresión que sufre el pueblo dominicano bajo la tutela de un país que se precia como el mas adher do en favor de la democracia y de la libertad, terminando su peroración con la lectura de algunos parrafos de la conferencia dictada por el Dr Americo Lugo, en el teatro Coron de Santiago de los Caballeros, el dia de 25 de junio del presente año Varias veces fue interrumpido por los aplauso que reciba de la gran concurrencia que llenaba el local En el transcurso de las primeras dos semanas de nuestra gran Convención notamos aun en la expresión de todos y cada uno de los delegados y representantes, el ferviente deseo de poner en práctica el programa social, económico y político mas trascendental de la época contemporanea. Cuando contemplamos a nuestro alrededor el entuciasmo manifestado en esta magna asamblea no podemos menos que deducir un resultado satisfactorio. Es'e entuciasmo revela la brillantez que parece contersnar al universo entero, fortificando a nuestra organización con el supremo poder de una arraigada determinación. La señorita Lucrecia Zuda redo principio al concerto ejecuto varias selecciones al piano, siendo muy aplaudida. La distinguisheda señora P Romero de Viera deleita a la concurrencia con su exquista voz, cantando la precesa canción "El que a hierro mata", acompañada al piano por la señora Paulina de Evia, quines fueron altamente aplaudidas, viendose obligadas a ejecutar dos números mas. Los irresponsables, miembros de nuestra raza, han hecho uso de todos los medios posibles para interceptar nuestro paso de avance hacia la realización de nuestro lema, pero la solidaridad de nuestro impulso, cual ejército prepotente, continua su marcha destruyendo en su camino cuantos obstáculos hayan podido ser arrojados a su paso. Al presentarse a escena el popular tenor Sr. Valeriano Gil, recitó una calurosa ovation que duro breves momentos, apagando las notas del paino, que con gran maestria empezara a tocar la seifora Evia. Canto varios numeros de opera y diu nuestras de las facultades que adornan su voz, siendo calurosamente aplaudo. A medida que transcurren las horas y los días de este histórico mes, nos sentimos mas invencibles; es razonable asumir que cuando la Convención termine sus labores, los diferentes representantes que han asistido a ella, regresarán a su respectiva localidades con un nuevo espiritu para batallar por la grande y noble causa de la emancipación de la raza. Como número especial el Sr Francisco R. Aybar leyó una de sus composiciones, recibiendo gran aceptación El Sr Lopez anunció al Sr Pocatera quien lezó un energía discurso, ligando las manos de su infortunada patria, bajo el bandidaje de Gomez, con la occupación extranjerá del territorio domin cano, siendo varias veces aplaudido por el contenido de su escririto, lleno de amor patrio y de digo reproche por las injusticias cometidas. La recepción celebrada en la noche del 10 presidida por su Excelencia el Potentado quedará grabada en lasimas de la historia de nuestra raza. En dicha ocasión de tres mil invotados por orden de su Excelencia seieron en el Liberty Hall para celebrar de nuevo las glorias de Etiopia, confiriendo titulos a los miem-de la raza, quienes se han distinguido en industria, v literatura, cooperando de ese modo al enalecimiento del Negro en un sentido general. Otros numeros de canto fueron interpretados por la Srta. de Soria, entre ellos una canción en ing'es Esta cantante ha obtenido gran éxito en los teatros de esta cidad. Hemos llegado por fin al punto de no necesitar por mas tiro de las demas razas, el reconocimiento por los servicios que el Negro haya rendido. Nuestra raza debe entender que si debemos cooperar por nuestro propio adelante, debemos honrarnos y respetarnos mutuamente. Con funciones sociales tales como la recepción a que hemos hecho referencia, nuestra organización ha dado el glorioso ejemplo del respeto a una raza en el reconocimiento de un progreso social. El primer vice-presidente de la Alianza Puertorriquena Sr. Isaac Irrazarry en pocas palabras manifestó la identificación de los puertorriquenos con el pueblo dominicano, por verse al igual que coye. sufriendo las mismas torturas del enemigo comun, deseando que pronto cosen los d as de incertidumbre y desdicha para ambes pueblos, que por su historia son dignos de mejor suerte. La desertación del orador estuvo hasada en las observaciones que hace la Alianza a los puertorriquenos educar sus masas en la confraternalidad y en la vida de política sana y honrada, unica forma en que pueden evitarse los atropellos de las interveniones, las cuales parecen ser la cura que aplica el auto-nombrado mentor de hispano-américa, el Tio Sam. Al terminar su elocuente disertación el Sr Irrazarry fue muy anhuido Dentro de poco la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra publicará su primer periódico diario "El Tiempo" en esta ciudad. Este será el primero de una cadena de publicaciones diarias en los Estados Unidos de America, las antillas y centro America para combatir la débil y siniestra propaganda de cliertos periódicos de nuestra raza, refractarios a los principios de nuestra organización. Después de un corto intermedio se alize de nuevo el telon para la representación del cuadro patrónico "27 de Febrero" interpretado por bellas damas, asistidas por un grupo de jóvenes, recibiendo una gran ovación Consideramos como uno de nuestros deberes el educar a las masas, por cuya razon hacemos grandes esiuerzos para poner en manos de nuestro pueblo la verdadera doctrina, lectura dimanada de una mente pura y de una conciencia limpia, considerando ademas como otro de nuestros tantos deberes contraidos, el defender nuestros principios fundamentales, contrarrestando la malsana propaganda de los elementos irresponsables. Entre delirantes vivas a Cuba Santo Domingo y Puerto Rico, desfilo después de la media noche la inmensa concurrencia, compuesta de lo mas selecto de las colonias antilanas, quienes se reuneron alli para demostrar la verdadera simpatia que abrigan por la abatida nació que tan heróicamente lucha por deshacerse del invasor que prolonga un gobierno despótico y destructor que amenaza por los métodos del hierro y la finanza, dar golpe de muerte a la gloriosa patria de Quisqueya. Si otros maliciosamente se organizan con el objeto de destruir la santa causa de la libertad del Negro, es nuestro deber hacer todo cuanto esté en nuestro poder para salvar a la raza. Mientra mayor sea el grado de oposición, mayor será el número de publicaciones necesarias en las distantas secciones de este país y del extrangero, para combatir tan débiles y mal fundados medios de destrucción. En Defensa de la Sinceridad de Nuestra·Hon. Presidente y Sus Esfuerzos Para Ayudar a la Raza De nuevo nuestra organización dará la voz de alerta por medio de sus voceros diarios, pues solamente por el éxito de este grande y noble movimiento podremos hacer prácticas las esperanzas que abrigan nuestros corazones, en lo que respecta a mejoramiento. Tanto los miembros de nuestra organización como los elementos de la raza en general deben patrocinar estas nuevas publicaciones, influyendo para que su circulación aumente de día en día, siendo este el mejor medio para que el público obtenga el debido conocimiento de los fines y propósitos de nuestra organización. En carta dirigida al editor del "Sun," periódico de esta ciudad el sefor A. B. J. se expresa de esta manera: Marcus Garvey aparece ser actualmente el paladin de la raza nogra y esto ha irattido a un grupo de los tal llamados directores, quienes han hecho muy poco durante los últimos treinta años sino hablar. No conozco personalmente at senor Garvey ni estoy enterado de los fines de su organización, pero admiro el carácter del hombre y la honestidad de su propósito. Creo firmemente en la sinceridad de lo que trata de hacer por su raza, no solamente en esta ciudad sino en todas las localidades donde se organización tenga una sucursal constituda. El señor Garvey cuenta solamente treinta y dos años de edad y como todo hombre joven ha cometido sus errores, pero su labor constructiva subsana no solamente sus propios errores sino también los de aquellos en quienes el muso su confianza. Desde su llegada a esta, el señor Garvey ha constituido una organizacion la cual posee y opera tres almacenes de provisiones, tres restaurantes, un magnifico tren de la lavado, un establecimiento para la fabricacion de ropa, habiendo adquirido ultimamente un nuevo edificio el cual ha sido convertido en hotel, conteniendo noventa y seis habitaciones El señor Garvey es modesto, bien educado y reasonable, lo cual no es característico de los que le crítican, quienes no entienden el como y porque haya el ganado tanta popularidad y confianza entre los elementos de su raza, quienes estan determinados a seguir hasta el fin del mundo Manifestaciones Del Secreretario de Estado de la República de Cuba El Dr Carlos Manuel de Céspedes, secretario de estado de Cuba, ha declarado en entrevista celebrada con los periodistas, que Cuba está atravesando en estos momentos una de las situaciones más difíciles de su vida republ cana "El memoriatum numero 13 del general Crowder para el señor presidente de la república, ha sido aprobado por la secretaria de estado de Washington. Las reformas necesarias para que pueda ser sancionado un empréstito interior o exterior o adiciones de cualquier clase a la deuda publica de Cuba, deben efectuar más que una mera estabilización temporal de las finanzas cubanas. En otras palabras, no se autorizará empréstito no deuda pública de clase alguna mientras no haya, garantias rezonables de que se cumpliría efectivamente el programa de reformas que con el concurso moral del país, deben realizar los poderes ejecutivo y legislativo. "El requiste economico aunque trascendental, es secundario con relación a cuanto va expuesto pero requiere el mayor acierto. Ya lo dje antes y lo repito ahora, no debemos equivocarnos en estos momentos, sino aportar soe uces immeditas, eficaces y completas para nuestra actual situación financiera." El secretario de hacerte, después de conferencar con el secretario de estado, añadió a los periodistas: "Yo he dado mi opinión; no tengo otra, no puedo tenerla. Soamente les digo que la situación es muv grave y los únicos que pueden resolver a son los congregistas." Los Cubanos Podrán Inmigrar a Este País Sin Passaporte Una ley de immigration prohíbe la entrada en los Estados Unidos a cualquier extranjero que no llegue provisto del correspondiente pasaporte La cancilleria de la república de Cuba esta gestionando la reforma de dicha ley de immigration, en lo que respecta a sus subditos esperándose que dentro de poco tiempo el congreso de este país reforme la ley vigente, aceptando a los cubanos de ese requisito Es de esperarse que las gestiones diplomaticas sobre el particular obengan resultados satisfactorios El Hon. Comisionado Eduardo V. Morales Arriba a la Convención Se encunerta entre nosotros a quien hemos tenido el placer de saludar, el Comisionado de nuestra organizazion a la gran antilla, Hon. Eduardo V Morales. Poco después se haber arribado a estas playas, el Hon Comisionado se reporto a la asamblea de la Convención, entrando innediatamente a tomar parte en los debates del dia, esclareciendo con gran aciertos los puntos en discusión. Nuestro honorable Comisionado viene provisto de innumerables ideas y proyectos en beneficio de los intereses generales de la raza, los cuales ha de someter a la asamblea, durante las distintas sesiones de la Convención. B envenido entre nosotros sea el ilustre paladin de nuestra organización en la república de Cuba. Defendiendo un Idioma La municipalidad de Verona ha hecho fijar en las calles un aviso no muy corriente, incitando a la población al respeto a la lengua italiana. Por lo visto, deben cesar inmediatamente costumbres deplorables. Los veronesus usan una jerga indigna, llena de neologismos, de argot, de "p palabras a fa moda" y que a veces no están exentas de clerta grosseira. La odiosa mezcolana la completen intromisiones de idiomas extranjeros y la licencia de la palabras pone en peligro la nobleza de la elocución. “Veroneses, dice el cartel, hablad italiano! En la tierra de Dante y de Leopardi el mal lenguaje es un insunto al gemo!” CORRESPONDENCIA Sanchez, Republicana Dominicana Julio 25 de 1922. Senior Don Duce Mohamed Alt.

APORTE SU OBOLO PARA EL GRAN MOVIMIENTO DE TODAS LAS EPOCAS POR LA REDENCION DE AFRICA VEL ADFLANTO DEL NEGRO EN TODAS PARTES. ANUNCIOS EMBLEMAS DE LA U. N. L. A. By WILLIAM BRIDGES, former Editor "The Challenge" The most unfortunate feature, perhaps, in the promotion and existence of corporations under the supervision of colored men is that in the indiscriminate sale of their securities to the public, an exigency created by conditions along with hundreds of conscientious investors who, not always knowing the different and differing phases of investments, are at least willing to learn, they take in a few of the adamantly ignorant. It is invariably these who instigate and persist in spreading dissatisfaction within the organization. They will attack the officers and directors in spite of their honest purpose and accomplishments; will magnify the least imaginary inconsistency in the corporation's management simply as a means of disrupting the general morale all along the line. They believe in the beginning that when they purchase a share of stock they have purchased a Federal Reserve gold note. Relationship between investments that are guaranteed by stipulation and speculative investments is never understood by them. They are influenced not by what concretely is but by what should be. With them the officers and directors of our corporations have no rights that any one is supposed to respect. Unless methods are found and immediately utilized in early payments of dividends, liquidation and refund are demanded. All of this is nearly as detrimental to our corporations as are inexperience and lack of capital. The grumbling Negro stockholder is a sight to bashid and a plague to avoid. He touches nothing that he does not contain nate, judges nothing without damming. The objection is not that he grumbles—which is as much his right as the right to breathe—but that he grumbles for no other reason than that which prompts a canine to growl at a bone which he cannot reach as it hangs from a fence. Rarely fitted to serve even as deacon in a rural church, still he would gladly undertake the supervision of intricate corporate affairs. He is the most appropriate representative of an eternal grudge. Unable to wear the crown on his broad, caken crown, he would just as well see both crown and scepter lying, dust-covered, in a deserted barn. Were he even partly docile, that would be to his credit. His intrunctability, however, transcee...is that of Sancho Panza's Spanab jack-ass. Let me cite an instance here that the reader may best appreciate the metaphor. Recently I called a meeting of stockholders of the company, of which I am president, and which owns property valued at approximately $22,000. I had scarcely opened it when one began to ask questions similar to those asked at secret conclaves of the Ku Klux. After being forced back into his shell by carefully prepared answers another, equally as anine and boisterous, crawled out. about our stock and dividends." Answering, I made a critical, concise and scientific statement, explaining the value of his stock at the company's inception, then showing him by full participation in corporate holdings it had been transformed from an artificial into a tangible value, how this value by the continual reduction of mortgage, and increase of equity would follow an ascending scale. All futile. And as with him so it is with the confirmed agitators that infest and infect our corporations all over the country. When officers of any corporation have explained to their stockholders the important elements of income and outgo, assets and liabilities, supporting their statements with facts and figures, and in this way demonstrated honesty of purpose and operation, that is all that the law requires and all that stockholders should expect, aside from dividends, but they must not expect dividends prematurely. With a people slightly trained in the perplexing problems of high finance rumors maliciously spread will have undesired effects. If colored stockholders, when they hear this or that about their companies, would go directly to their officers instead of to other persons on the streets much would be saved in money and confusion. Refunding Money to Stockholders When a man invests he invests. When he loans he loans. For convenience let us call the first stock, the last notes and bonds. The latter mature, come due on set dates and must be paid with interest where interest is stipulated. Not so with the former, stock. Preferred stock, of course, is retirable. Because of this feature it bears a slight, very slight resemblance to notes and bonds. Unlike either, nevertheless, it has no due date. All stock, common and preferred, when purchased signify that the purchaser shall share in all profits, if any, of the issuing company and, likewise, in all or any of its losses. A $200 stock certificate may, in time, realize a $3,000 dividend. The original $200 does not come back. Some people believe that money so invested can be refunded. It cannot The laws in every state forbid corporations by penal statutes to make refunds. The only time that this can be done is after the company has a fully protected surplus. Given in this instance it is not a refund, but the repurchase of stock outstanding and consequently, a decreasing of the company's liabilities. Let it be understood that every share of outstanding stock is a liability. returns for his $100 and receives it, despite the fact that his quote of expense is exactly $2. Hearing of the refund the other two investors finally return for their money. It is not there. Only $191 is in the treasury, so that each will have to be satisfied with $9.50. They have paid their quotes of $3 each towards expenses and at the same time $1.50 each towards the quotes of the other investor, who, in getting back $100 in full, has received $3 of the others' money. Paul has been blackjacked in the interest of Peter. This same illustration explains why it is illegal to declare dividends out of capital. If either a refund or dividend payment is paid this way and it is known, somebody is heeded for jail. Negro Longshoremen Very Efficient B. ARTHUR E. KING BY ARTHUR E. KING The water is of the lightest and loveliest green imaginable and small colored boys entreat the passengers to throw pennies overboard. "We can sush get it," they cry, and first one and then another throws pennies overboard. The ship is unloaded by Negro long-sharesman, and a more splendid lot of follows I have never seen. And how they work! Not like New York, where there are screaming Irishmen shouting to a mixed white and colored gang, "Get it up," "Where are you working?" or "Hi, you, where you think you are?" This seems necessary because the New York gang has either got sabotage down to a science or they are tired from the previous night's exertions. But these ebony athletes here work with a rest and joy that is a tonic to any but the sluggish mind. And did you ever see a man going down a gangplank with a heavy truck and coasting with his right foot? Ansmie looking white men are looking on and smoking idly. Thank goodness, our people have to work; they have to be in good physical condition. The proximity of Key West to Cuba makes it an entrepot for liquor, and it appears quite easy to defy Volstead and his host. This privilege was fully taken advantage of by both passengers and crew, with the result that things became hilarious from promsmade deck to "glory hola." At 1 o'clock Sunday we left Key West and headed up the Gulf of Mexico, and had a very pleasant and uneventful trip, reaching outside of Galveston on Tuesday night, where we lay at anchor until next morning, when we steamed into Galveston and docked at 6 o'clock. On our way up the Gulf was humid, but as placid as a lake. The only disturbance as far as we could see was the waves made by our own ship. Now and then some flying fish would rise out of the water, fly a little way and drop again, and occasionally we would pass bunches of seawed with turtles attached to them. Directly in the path of the sun the waves from our ship would deflect its light, appearing as floating diamond clusters for brief moments. Just about sunset a small number of the passengers organised a dance on the after deck, dancing to the music of a gramophone borrowed from a member of the crew. After docking we went ashore, remembering the while that we are in our largest State, the great cotton and oil State, formerly Mexican territory. We are also forced to remember that here American civilization and culture expresses itself in jamboree, jim crow cars, political emasculation of Negroes, peonage and is no mean lynching State. In fact, it has a lynching record that good Texans are proud of. We entered this Negro hell, remained three and a half days and escaped without being lynched. What did we see? First of all we must record that the Texans are physically big people, and I have already remarked; that your black Florida longshoreman is a well got up creature, but he is Galveston the entire colored population seem to be tall, well-developed people with a much greater average height and weight than a similar number of colored New Yorkers. The longshoreman (al Negroes) work more methodically, even if with fewer smiles and less pest than those of Florida. Galveston is a big cotton and grain port, and a big electric sign along the beach tells us that it is in the Texas Island of America; we remember our own Manhattan with its two million real estate, a billion in gold in the Federal Reserve Bank, etc., and reflect on advertising in these United States.

Detailed Denial of Charges Made by T. S. Stribling in The "Evening Post" The Negro World is in receipt of the following communication addressed to it by Mr. Roger Nielsen, Special Attaché Royal Danish Legion, Washington, D.C., which is self-explanatory: The two articles on the Virgin Island, published in the New York Evening Post on May 6 and May 10, Stirling has set some of its stand in insinuations about Denmark and the Danish an exorbitant price. Even at that the United States—still according to Mr Stribling—only received a good break. For by retaining a banking monopoly on the islands for a period of thirty years and by conspiring with the Negroes to ruin the white planters, the Danes—always according to Mr Stribling—have been retaking the same islands privately that they sold publicly to the United States' Those sanguily inclined will naturally exclaim 'Can you beat it?' More literary readers will say 'What a race of super-Machiavellis the Danes must be!' The few who are familiar with the subject will use strong words, of which the middest is "nonsense. Mr Stribling himself does evidently not believe half of his own assertions, nor he frequently substitutes insidious intimations and artful questions for straight statements. German War Vessels Mr. Stribbling states that "immediately before the sale of the Virgin islands to the United States Denmark conceded to the Hamburg-American Line a coaling base at St. Thomas. The facts are that the Hamburg-American Line had its own coaling station at St. Thomas more than thirty years before the World War. and that the French Compagnie Générale Transatlantique and the British Royal Mail Packet Company, or as it was later called, the St. Thomas Dooling and Coaling Company, had similar coaling stations there. Mr. Stribbling further states that at St. Thomas "a German wireless was projected, also a landing place for airplanes." Maybe so—there are even those who claim that the Germans had projected the conquest of the United States. The facts are, however, that the Germans did not ask the Danish Government for permission to build any wireless station or landing places for airplanes at St. Thomas; that if they had their request would have been refused point blank, and that nothing whatever was done by the Germans to indicate that they had any such plan under consideration. Mr. Stribling also states that "the German navy used St. Thomas as a practical base." The fact is, that in peace times warships of all nations were welcome at St. Thomas, which was often visited by German men-of-war, as well as by American, British, French and Italian warships. The Germans never stopped for such long periods at St. Thomas as, for instance, the Russians, who frequently had a warship lying there during most of the winter. Mr. Stribling continues with the statement that the Germans "conducted target practice in the surrounding water." The fact is that no German warship in the West Indies conducted any target practice within Danish sea territory, and outside of the three-mile limit the Danes had no right to interfere with the Germans. If German warships conducted any target practice in the Caribbean, it may have been in waters as near to Porto Rico as to St. Thomas. America an Eager Purchaser "All of these kindnesses which Denmark exhibited toward Germany no doubt and their force in driving up the price of the islands from $5,000,000 quoted by the Danes in 1803," says Mr. Stribling. The facts are that Denmark exhibited no kindness whatever toward Germany; that the Danish Congress in 1803 refused to sell the islands for $8,000,000; that Denmark as early as in 1867 had asked $15,000,000 for the Danish, West India, and that the islands were and are well worth the $23,000,000 paid for them by the United States. The most famous of all naval authorities, Admiral Mahan, pointed out Long ago that St. Thames is one of the great strategic points of the West India, and in addition, it is because of its excellent harbor and geographical position, commercially one of the most THE NEGRO WORLD. SATURDAY. AUGUST 26. 1922 GREAT VAUDEVII LE BILL AT LAFAYETTE LAST WEEK FEATURING MOSS & FRYE; CHAS. GILPIN THIS WEEK Joe Sheftell was responsible for one of the finest collections of vaudeville performers seen at the Lafayette Theatre in many a moon. For the show last week he had such stars as Moss and Frye Jones and Jones, those two funny comedians who always delight a Harlem audience and who are just from Strut Miss Lizzie, now showing on Broadway. Joe Sheftell Revue a glittering galaxy of Get There Girls was one of the attractive numbers in the bill Harry Mason and Company in Getting the Money an episode of the prize ring, went off in big time fashion but the feature of the bill was Moss and Frye in the sketch How Come? These two stars, who popularized this term, "how come?" can keep you in an unprouer of laughter every minute they are before the lights. We know of no act showing in vaudeville today which takes so well with the public. We are pleased to learn that these two stars will appear in the near future on Broadway in their own musical company. In fact, their performance last week at the Lafayette Theatre was their last performance in vaudeville before going to Broadway in their own company. Other splendid acts on the bill were Jazz Duo by Maitaida and Jade Gradlock and Shadney in Havana. Charming Fauza in a dainty gymnasium and the Fight Blue Daisy is direct from the New York Winter Garden. Charles Gilpin of Emperor Jones is now performing at the Lafayette Theatre in his own company. This is Gilpin's first appearance in Harlem since taking the leading part in Eugene O'Neill's great play, Emperor Jones. Standing room will be at a premium all this week. was always the United States that pressed the matter Mr Seward first began negotiations in 1865, and since that time the United States never abandoned the project of purchasing the Danish West Indies. When brought up again in 1915 the American Minister to Denmark, Dr Maurice Francis Egan, according to his own repeated statements, did not consider $50,000,000 too high a price, and felt relieved when Denmark asked only about half of that amount. Coming now to the second part of Mr. Stribling's statement, in which he insinuates that Danish interests in an underhanded way are trying to retake the Virgin Islands privately, it should hardly be necessary to go much into details. Mr Stribling seems to have put that sensational charge into his articles just to make them more interesting. He talks of the "web of domestic diplomacy within the islands themselves—that is, if the strange and sinister complications be diplomacy and not, in its turn, the mere working of chance." He calls the "manipulation of the labor situation" a "much subtler bit of diplomacy—that is, if the St Croix labor really has been manipulated." Is that sort of argumentation considered fair by Mr Stribling? How would he himself like to be called, for example, "the filmiest of all authors—that is, if he really is filmiy"? Mr Stribling has no proof against Denmark, he cannot procure any circumstantial evidence worth serious consideration, but he nevertheless consists: it intimates that the Danes are back of the sinister happenings on the islands. Labor Intriques However, Mr Stribling will find it a hard task to convince any sane person that Denmark has ever, officially or unofficially, conspired with the Negroes of St. Croix to organize them to labor unions whose policy was to make the plantations unprofitable! The task will be the harder for Mr Stribling because he is not even logical in his insultations. For at the same time that he accuses the Danes of destroying the islands economically he states that large Danish corporations are buying up plantations. Why in the name of common sense should the Danes put money into the estates of St. Croix when, according to Mr Stribling's informant, "one knows certainly that any work at all will lose money"? Of course, Mr Stribling is not sure of the alleged Danish intrigues with the Negroes—he finds that the interesting record "can be interpreted almost as well in the negative as in the affirmative." Again, how would Mr Stribling like it if the Danes retaliated by saying the same of his record as a truth teller? The details of Mr. Stribling's story of Danish guile are as inaccurate as the story itself is baseless. A few examples will suffice. According to Mr. Stribling, the National Bank of the Danish West Indies enjoys for a period of thirty years "a monopoly of the banking business in the three islands, and during that period Danish money is the legal tender of the islands and only the said Danish bank has the power to utter it." The truth is that the Danish West Indian National Bank has no monopoly of the banking business in the islands, that Danish money is not the legal tender of the islands, where a special Danish-West Indian "franc" is used, and that the National Bank of the Danish West Indies only has the monopoly of issuing paper currency up to a certain amount. Mr. Stribling mentions three large estates in St. Croix as having sold their sugar machinery, "because of lack of GARVEY REMOVES MISUNDERSTANDING (Continued from page 10) (Continued from page 10) we are here on the great purpose of the U N L A an association which has aims and objects that tend to lift humanity from the state of serdism to the highest planes of manhood and womanhood. I was much inspired this evening by the great demonstration of the Black Cross Nurses, and they carried my mind back to the great civilization of our people in the very dawn of civilization. When the curtain rose and we showed our people the brilliant light of civilization carrying the torchlight down the centuries to races who hitherto were unknown in his history of civilization and who were then clambering, as monkeys, from tree to tree, in barbarism. Through the fading glimmers of the dead centuries we see the black men in Africa, and see the symbols reflecting their learning and splendor to the people in times gone by. They left monuments that speak of a civilization that Has Not Been Surpassed by the present and upon the plins of Africa we find great pyramids which show the great architectural genius of men which has not been surpassed by the architecture of today, in this great present-day civilization. I want to speak to you tonight on something that is fundamental in race upbuilding. I am not expecting very much applause because I believe, when men meet to build up a race they must speak frankly to the people. There is one fundamental that we must ever keep in our grasp, and that is Upright Manhood and Womanhood With upright manhood and womanhood we can build a race that is inviolate, a race that cannot be downed (Applause) And here I want to congratulate and compliment the women of our race because I think they take the place in the world as the most moral women of the age (Applause) That calls to the men of our race to stand upright and firm, to live clean and moral lives, that they may help to build this great race and make it what they want it to be. I want to tell you you cannot build a strong race upon a rotten manhood. It must be built upon a pure manhood and that is what we are trying to do in the U N I A There is something about manhood. If it is not based upon purity and morals it is like a ship that goes to sea with a leak in its hull. It presents a great, formidable picture and so great is the presentation that people put their trust in it and go aboard and go out to sea in it. When the waves dash against it it seems to be right, but when the storms rock it the leak becomes greater and it goes to the bottom. So it is with character. All nature heeds the light. If we live upright lives and are strong when the test comes to this great战力 of ours, and when the great storms come and there is a call for men of character and men of strength, for men who Will Do and Die for the eternal right that is the time we will want the sterling characters we are trying to build up in the U N I A. I am going to crave your indulgence for a few minutes more. In our division we have evolved a yell. We know that the U N I A is headed by a leader who stands poorer in the world as a leader and the staunchest defender of the Negroes' rights. For those reasons we evolved a yell in which I want you to join with me tonight. We give "U N I A" three times, then "Onward," "Upward and "Garvey." (The yell was most heartily given) My time is gone. I only want to say to you tradeemans, you professional man, to get together. This is no time for us to have destructive work among us. (Applause) Black people must get together You Christian men, artisans, scientists, get together on the great world program to put it over the top. And let us get together and call on God, the Eternal, for help and strength in this great program, and we will move onward, with the help of God, to victory in the future. (Applause) Hon. Rudolph Smith said: I am again extremely delighted, on this auspicious occasion, to speak to you for a few minutes. I have often spoken to you, but I always crave to be before Liberty Hall audiences, because you seem so very inspiring. Night after night you assemble here to listen to all of the speeches made by each of us and I am sure as judges or as jury men and women, if possible you have decided among yourselves just what is right and what is wrong. You have attended Liberty Hall, particularly on Sunday nights, in such large numbers, irrespective of the criticism on the outside, irrespective of the intrigues on the inside, that you are letting the world labor to keep the estates in a running condition." But what are the facts? Of the three estates, the "Carlton Estate" sold its machinery because it was combined with the "Hoegensburg Estate," which had its own large sugar mill. The estate called "Peter's Recitation" (should be "Peter's Rest Station") belongs to the "St. Croix Sugar Factories" and its machinery was disposed of because it was more profitable to have the sugar cane transported to the central sugar mill of the "St. Croix Sugar Factories." The "Lower Love Estate" was several years ago bought by and combined with the "West Indian Sugar Factory," and its machinery was sold because the central sugar mill of the latter concern is large enough to take care of the sugar cane produced by both estates. Such are the facts. It is now up to Mr. Stribbling either to procure new and better evidence against the Danes or else to apologize to Denmark for having without reason reflected on her good name. Harlem Political Leader Says U. N. I. A. Head Is Here to Stav [Prof D E Tobias was formerly editor of "The Independent," and is a widely known writer and traveler, and a leading figure in the political life of the community] By D. E. TOBIA6 Marcus Garvey is the central figure and the one outstanding man amping West Harlem a greatly mixed peoples. Without Marcus Garvey just now the Black Belt would be practically dead as most of the home people, as they are called, are away during August Garvey is here and is here to stay as long as he wishes to remain, in spite of the professional agitators and problem mongers, social upilfers and advancement people, white and colored, downtown, whose only means of livelihood is to talk about lynching of colored people by white people in the South and tax poor working colored people throughout the country to pay big salaries to social upilfers. The so-called anti Garvey meetings now being conducted in a Harlem cabaret dance hall, called the Shuffle Inn, Sunday afternoons, bear a certain significance. It is this. People outside may imagine from reading the New York World's reports of these meetings that there is a strong anti Garvey feeling among colored people generally. This is by no means true. Here are the real facts. The Truth of the Matter Randolph and Owen, of wartime Messenger Magazine fame are the leaders in the anti-airway movement. These young men rather brilliant as writers of long articles against colored race leaders of the old school type and particularly clever as public speakers, are assisted by ex-Duan W. J. Pickens and Hey Robert W. Bagnall, hired by white people who know that the U N L A. and the A C L. 8hall Forever Live For that reason I say that I am always glad to be present to speak to such an intelligent audience. Now, friends, this is a very serious time. This is a time when the races of the world the strongest and the most powerful nations, are watching the actions of this grand and noble movement. We are considered a government in embryo and just as the Irish sought self-determination, just as the Zionist movement for the Jews, just as the Japanese, the Czecho-Slovak, the Lithuanians, and Poles and others, so the 400 000 000 Negroes of the world through the instrumentality of the U N L A and A C L, are willing to tell the entire world and the Negroes on the outside that Africa will be redeemed through this association and the Red, the Black and the Green (applause). Some say it is a dream. But this is one time that a Dream Will Come True It matters little what people say. There are certain fellows on the outside whose names I do not care to mention, because it is not worth while, who are backed up by certain all races to keep on the outside and to affect the constructive program that stands for the advancement of Negro men and women. These are the same fellows who have always stood behind political parties. These are the same fellows who started their elevator and switch board union that never amounted to much. These same fellows were only known in certain places and only became more known since the U. N. I. A. came into existence. Now, that they find that this program is sweeping the entire world calling upon the Negroes of the West Indies. South and Central America, and Africa to unite themselves in one solid whole and to elect among them Negro leaders backed by the entire race — leaders who will stand for the uplift of Negroes at all times.—leaders who will carry them through the storms of life, and place them in the country that Rightfully Belongs To Them Rightfully belongs to them And there to establish a government sufficiently strong that ambassadors would be sent, in every part of the world, to protect the Negroes' rights and property, their intention is to affect this organization. Their efforts, however, are just little less fleas trying to get at an elephant (applause). This organization is strong and the world knows it. It is not a national movement. It is a universal movement and it says to West Indians, "It matters not whether you belong to John Bull, to the French, or to the Dutch," it says to the African Negroes, "We do not care under what flag you are, this is the time when races are coming together and when the world is going through an entire change, and when the nations and races of the world are building up their own governments. This is the time that Negroes must stand together in their might and jurisdiction and let the world know that Negroes are ready to claim that which rightfully belongs to them" (Applause.) Those little Negroes who have no constructive mind, who have never produced anything in their lives, are coming up against a stone wall like this. Let them come on. You have never heard me say anything about them and I think it useless for some of us to say anything about them, for truthfully, the population of Harlem and the intelligent Negroes, are not with them, as they try to say in the papa. It is merely propaganda on their part. In conclusion I will ask all who are with the U N L A. to put up your hands and let the world and the reporters note that about 6,000 Negroes here in this hall tonight are behind the U. N. L A. Let us give three cheers for the U. N. L A.; three cheers for Hon. Marous Garvey, and three for the Red, Black and Green. The cheers were accordingly given amidst great enthusiasm.

Before Marcus Garvey started his agitation Back to Africa, the white people in the advancement business were annually collecting hundreds of thousands of dollars from colored people Marcus Garvey had a dream and when he awoke he saw the sign of day how to collect money Marcus held up before and pointed out hope to black people First he took them to give him money but to buy them his Black Star Line and be a real people by owning something to their own Black people bought shoes in Marcus Garvey's steamship scheme and many thought and still think it is best and much wiser to go to Africa and get hold of some land and other things which make men rich in the world's goods than to remain in the Southern States and be lynched and burned to death at the stake Marcus Garvey, a black man, held out some hope to black people, whereas the white people who run the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People talk and write only about dead colored people all the time those killed by white men The anti-Garvey meetings have for their aim and chief object getting Marcus Garvey out of the way and by driving him from Harlem and out of the country leave the field open for white men and women engaged in the social uprift business to collect large sums of money from colored people a part of which goes as salaries to pay colored agents to collect.
