The Negro World

GREAT SUCCESS OF INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION VOL. XIII No. 3 Our great convention has proven a wonderful success. We have been able during our sitting to rout from our midst the traitors to the cause of Negro Liberty. The outside world can hardly appreciate and understand the great service we have rendered to black humanity by removing from our ranks unworthy individuals who have for months and months created themselves stumbling blocks in the way of our progress. At last we have been able to rid ourselves of these human barnacles who have held up our movement to criticism and ridicule by their conduct and performances in different parts of the country. A New Slate We are starting again with a new slate, with men and women who are prepared for service, men and women of character, breeding and of standing, not the fellow from the alley-way who has pitched himself forward and got recognition in the rush, but sober men and women who have been properly trained for the service to which they are now called. We are expecting a banner year for the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Through our new administration we shall go forth to the world feeling happy and conscious of the fact that the world expects of us service, and that the world will give us that confidence that is necessary. Objects of Public Contempt We have disappointed the enemies all along the line. We have practically driven them from their outposts in New York to find shelter and comfort in other parts of the country, where they will also in a short while be routed, until they become the pitiable objects of public contempt. It takes the fool to fight the Universal Negro Improvement Association. No sensible person will do it, because the Universal Negro Improvement Association is like a mighty avalanche that sweeps on and on, carrying everything before it. The Universal Negro Improvement Association stands out as the one great brilliant star in the constellation of world movements. There is nothing to be compared with it, and our convention of August proves to the world that the Universal Negro Improvement Association is strong enough to take care of itself. The Delegation to Europe To consider the many plots that have been engineered to encompass us and defeat us during the month of August is to count every day in the year, and yet to have other days still to call, but the plots and plotters have all failed and the Universal Negro Improvement Association rises from its Third Annual International Convention still a world power. We are looking forward to the achievement of greater things in the year before us under our NEW YORK, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 1922 OF INTERNATION NEW ADMINISTRATION OF UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION FORMED ROUT COOKED AND DISHONORABLE MEN FROM OFFICE GREAT FUTURE IN STORE FOR RACE THROUGH POWERFUL ORGANIZATION new administration. Already we have sent our delegates abroad to attend the assembly of the League of Nations. Whether they achieve all that we have sent them for or not, it goes without saying that our voice shall be heard in Europe as a race as never before. We have asked for the conceding to us of German South West Africa, German East Africa, the Cameroons and Togoland. If we do not get our request today it is only a question of time when the four hundred millions of us shall declare for the complete freedom of all Africa. Rome was not built in a day, therefore we will not expect all our hopes to be realized in a day. Let all the people o our race throughout the world make up their minds and their hearts to put over the gigantic program that we have declared for in this our Third Annual International Convention. Down to Brass Locks Our Deputies and Delegates will be going back to their respective homes with new vigor, new courage, new determination to put over the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. After the defeat of the enemy each man takes new hope, and it is expected that in another twelve months our organized power will be of such strength as to bring all men to realize the futility of fighting such a great movement as ours. Let us carry on, men, as never before; let us hold high the banner of the Red, the Black and the Green, for the glorious standard shall never trail in the dust. Men may come, and men may go, but the Universal Negro Improvement Association shall go on forever. On with the cause, I say; up with the flag! Onward let us march and stop not until Africa is redeemed. A Brilliant Future Before Us There is much to live for. Each and every one of us who sat in the convention came in contact with individuals we never would have met otherwise. The very contact was an education in itself and no one can say that he has not learned something out of the convention of the Universal Negro Improvement Association for the month of August. No school, or college, or PRICE: FIVE CENTS. IN GREATER NEW YORK SEVEN CENTS ELSEWHERE. IN THE U.S. TEN CENTS. IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES university could have given us in thirty-one days and nights more facts, more inspiration, than we got out of our August conclave. We leave and separate from each other with heavy hearts. Nevertheless, we hope to meet again in another twelve months, to report again the success we have made through our new enthusiasm in service for the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Yes, we shall take back to our respective communities the spirit of cheer and hope and good-will, because that has been the sentiment of our convention. The Possibilities of the Negro Nobody regrets being in New York. Everybody except the traitor is glad. Everybody is looking forward to a brighter day. The members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association throughout the world should now be satisfied, because they have a new and able administration, one that is determined to justify its existence and prove its earnestness in working in the interest of our great movement. If the members give us the support we feel sure that in another twelve months we will prove beyond the shadow of a doubt the great and hidden possibilities of the Negro. We will be able to change your economic condition, your political status, and bring you to a position of world recognition, but it all means your support. You can support us financially and morally to carry on the work. A work like this takes millions of dollars as well as the support morally of millions of loyal men and women. Send us your support now. Send $1, $5, $10, $15, $20, $25, $50, $100—as much as you can afford—to the Universal Negro Improvement Association, 56 West 135th Street, New York City, N. Y., U. S. A. You can support us by reading our periodicals. You should read the "Daily Negro Times," the weekly "Negro World" and the monthly "Black Man." Through these three agencies you will better understand the aims and objects of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and thereby educate yourself for service to the great cause. Every member of the Universal Negro Improvement Association should make himself a committee of one to add one hundred new members to the organization for the new year. If you will go out and get one hundred members, and the next person will do the same, it means that in another twelve months we will have all the Negro peoples of the world organized, and then we shall be ready for the great march to freedom.

Rudolph Smith Elected Third Assistant President-General and Titular Leader of West Indian Negroes-Lady Vinton Davis Popular Candidate for Fourth Assistant President-General The Third International Convention of Negroes of the World closed its fourth week's sitting today, having to its credit the accomplishment of a great deal of constructive work which will mean much towards the furtherance and frutition of the plans of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and its program for the uplift and development of the Negro race throughout the world and the laying of a foundation for the future autonomous government of the Negro race on the continent of Africa. The delegates and deputies who have now been sitting continuously for twenty-five days have shown no signs of fatigue, nor has their interest in the affairs of the convention languished in the slightest degree, but on the contrary they have attended the sittings with a punctuality born of a whole-hearted desire to render faithful and efficient service to themselves, to their constituents and to the race as a whole, and have participated in the discussions and deliberations of all questions coming before them with energy, pride and unselfishness. Neither has public interest in the proceedings of the convention been dissipated, this fact being manifested by the large gathering of persons—members of the organization and visitors—who come from far and near to attend the daily sessions with clock-like regularity. Industrial exhibition and Fashion Show tonight Better Relations Between the Parent Body and the Divisions The Hon O Crease, from Canada, said that he had a very important matter to place before the convention. They had discussed ways and means of securing better relationship between the Negroes of the world, the West Indian and Americans, etc. He thought however, that they should devote some time to finding ways and means to se- The Disloyalty of Certain Officials Much of the time of the convention has been consumed in matters that were not on the agenda, but which arose out of the disloyalty of certain high officials of the U. N. L. A. together with the malicious propagands that is prevalent against the association, making it necessary for sweeping changes to be wrought in the personnel of the administration in order to relieve a condition that bordered on chaos and bring about better harmony, so that the work of the association may go on unhampered and that its good name may remain untarnished in the eyes of the millions of its followers who have thrown in their lot and placed all their hopes beneath the banner of the Red, the Black and the Green. It is gratifying to note that the increasing power of the association has vanquished the enemies who, despite their efforts to destroy the movement, have failed even to weaken it, and having discovered the futility of their efforts have shown a relaxation in their activities against the movement and against its leader, the Honorable Marous Carvey, who, the more he is attacked and abused, the more he is supported by his followers. Religion and a New Social Polly The cause of the U. N. I. A. is too worthy, tog noble, too far-reaching in its efforts to succumb to the plots and intrigues of a few envious individuals who would serve their own selfish ends to the detriment of the entire race and the sooner they are brought to a realization of that fact the sooner will they cease to attack a movement that, because of its aims and objects, has touched the hearts of millions of people and mobilized a force and sentiment back of it that is almost irreversible. Men within the organization to whom the destinies of the organization and the race were entrusted have been found traitors to the cause, and painful though it was, the duty devolved upon the delegates to rid themselves of such men who have proven false to their trust. They did so without fear or favor, eliminating them once and for all time, thus sounding a warning note to others who would tamper with the destiny of the race that they will be similarly dealt with when the occasion arises. The subjects discussed during the week were, "A New Social Policy for the Negro" and "The Future Religious Faith and Belief of the Negro," both of which brought out some enlightening views and suggestions. Committees were appointed to go into the writings and report to the convention. The matter of amending the constitution to carry out the recommendations of the President-General in his annual report submitted, last week was raised up and amendments were made providing for a change in the personal of the administration abplaining the elective system of officers, except as relating to the office of High Potential, Insurance Deputy, President-General and three Assistant President-Generals, these offices being invested with power to appoint their captain, which will form the Executive Council of the organization. the millions of important thes, was the Shannon C. was the trial and impeachment of the Ambassador, trial, for 1979.

The trial attracted much attention, and the evidence adduced in support of the charges was simply astounding and fully justified the action of the convention in eliminating from their midst and from the high office to which he was elected a man who by his conduct has proven to be not only a disgrace to the organization, but also a menace to society. That a man who outwardly professed to have the interest of the association and the race at heart should so run counter to the principles which he professed is surprising, and the delegates felt that they had discharged a sacred duty when they voted unanimously to impeach such a man and forever expel him from the ranks of the U. N. I. A. The next matter of importance was the election of officers to fill the positions vacated by resignations and those created by the amended constitution. The elections were a fitting climax to the week's proceedings and furnished eloquent testimony of the high esteem in which the Honorable Marcus Garvey is held by the people and the implicit confidence which they have reposed in his leadership. He was re-elected to the office of President-General and Administrator amidst scenes of the wildest enthusiasm, the entire gathering including the delegates and the galleries, according him the warmest ovation that he has ever yet received. Dr. Leroy N. Bundy, Glevoand, Ohio, was elected to the office of First Assistant President-General, defeating Hon. W. A. Wallace, his most formidable opponent. Hon. William Sherrill of Ohio was elected to the office of Second Assistant President-General by virtue of which he becomes titular leader of American Negroes, after a close fight between Sir William Perris and himself. Hon. Rudolph Smith was the successful candidate for the office of Third Assistant President-General, which carries with it the titular leadership of the West Indies and Central and South America. TWENTY-FIRST DAY Today, observed as Woman's Day at Liberty Hall, commenced the fourth week's sitting of the convention. There was the usual large number of deputies and delegates when the session was called to order by the President-General and the usual hymn was sung and the prayers recited. As was to be expected, there was a greater attendance of ladies than usual, and they took a very active part in the discussions. The minutes of the previous session were read and after some amendments were adopted. The subject of the day was "Discussing a New Social Policy for the Negro." The President-General informed the delegates that the morning was to be devoted chiefly to the women of the convention—those who had anything to say, bearing on the convention's program. He informed the delegates that it did not mean that men could not talk part in the discussion, but he intended to give general recognition to the ladies and then, after the morning, the convention, would adhere to the rules, and the White were going to continue their day by holding their THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 1922 industrial exhibition and Fashion Show tonight Better Relations Between the Parent Body and the Divisions The Hon G. Creasea, from Canada, said that he had a very important matter to place before the convention. They had discussed ways and means of securing better relationship between the Negroes of the world, the West Indian and American, etc. He thought however, that they should devote some time to finding ways and means to secure better relationship between the parent body and the divisions. He thought it very necessary that there should be a better understanding, and if permitted he would like the matter put on the agenda for discussion The Hon J. H. Tobbit, Commissioner of British Guiana, seconded the motion. It was carried unanimously Discussing a New Social Policy for the Negro Lady Henrietta Vinton Davis, who was asked by the President-General to open the discussion, said the matter was one of vital importance because they, as a people, had neglected the social side of life in many ways and paid very little attention to it. They had been so busy making a living that they had little time to consider that question. The Negro was characteristically social, but, heretofore, there had been no policy as to his sociability. He has had no rules nor regulations nor lines of demarkation and she thought it was high time that the matter be taken under serious consideration. The social policy of the Negro, she thought, was almost in the women's hands. It was generally admitted that a race can never rise higher than its women, so the standard set by the women meant a great deal. The race had been more than any race unjustly criticized and they could do much to offset much of that criticism by discussing the matter thoroughly and arranging a policy for the Negro. Hon. Mrs. White of Dayton, Ohio thought it high time that some policy be adopted in relation to the subject it was generally said by the alien race that Saturday night was the Negroes social night, because it was then they held their street parties. She thought that they should have some place where they would be able to meet after the day's work and where the men would be able to meet the women of the race socially. As a rule the men did not seem to pay any attention to this matter and did not keep the women side by side. This was necessary especially as they had to rear their young generation to a proper consideration of their social duties and obliqtiona. Hon. Mrs. Mapp, Buffalo, thought the matter should be thoroughly gone into, because the men did not seem to realize that much depended socially on their women. Hitherto men always regarded themselves as the head, so the women considered themselves as the neck, and if the neck were cut off there would be no head. She urged on the women to hold up their virtue high, so that the men of the race would stick to them. Hon. Mrs. Lissimore of Florida, after speaking on the movement generally, said that before they could formulate any policy they need to be true to themselves. They must improve the education of their children and, above all, train them to be honest. Train them that it is better to respect themselves, no matter how poor, than to be wearing costly sikes that were not obtained in a proper manner. Hon. Mra. Isabella Lawrence of New York said that already they had set a standard of social conduct and policy in the court receptions they had held, but she thought the policy should be more clearly defined so as to be better understood. The 'Iegro men must be taught to feel that the women are good enough for them, and the women must be taught likewise as to the men, another point that needed consider- Hon was the social lessee which was as prevalent among Negroes as among white men. This latter point was very important on account of the bearing it had on the future generations. Hon Mrs M J Jones of Orange, N J urged the men to give more consideration to women socially, and told them they should seek to uplift them in every way. Several other duties joined in the discussion of the question and dealt with it from many angles. The policy of the men to leave our women to marry or keep company with white women was severely denounced. the discrepancy shown by an called alleges of our race to our women and our fraternizing with the women of the other race was touched upon. The women were urged to cultivate self respect and virtue among the boys and girls, and also to bear in mind that there should be no double standard of morality taught. Mon were also urged to respect and defend their women from the attacks of others while refe- rence was made to the practice of the churches to send out women to leaders to men with sometimes very regrettable results. It was generally conceded that there should be a getting together of the men and women for the shaking on some code of etiquette which would be adopted by the race in general and which would also tend to the uplift of the men and women of the rising gen- Among the other ladies who gave very valuable contributions to the discussion were Hona Mrs Smith of Philadelphia Mrs Mamie Webb of Indiana Mrs Scott of Detroit Mrs Anna Nohlas of New York Mrs Lille Wilks of Flarion Hill, Alice Simmons of New York Mrs O Brien of Canada H Paterson of Cleveland, Mme Houston of New York Mrs Cochran of Cleveland O Mrs Dr M A Thomas of Ohio and Mrs Reason of New Orleans. Eventually, on the motion of Mr J W McHurst seconded by Mrs White, it was proposed that the matter be referred to a committee of five ladies. The Hon Dr Hannah, Philadelphia, seconded by the Hon Tobitt of British Gulana, moved as an amendment that the committee be a mixed one. The amendment was carried. The chairman appointed on the committee His Grace Duke of Uganda Lady Henrietta Vinton Davis Sir Robert Poston and Sir Leroy Bardy and the Hon Mrs Nicholas of New York Representation at the Elks' Convention Some discussion arose as to whether the Elks had sent any official delegates to this International convention, and the convention was informed that there had been some sent who had personally met the President General and extended their greetings. A motion to the effect was unanimously carried and John K. Bruce the Duke of Uganda, the Hon W. W. Wallace and the Hon Thomas Anderson of New Orleans were appointed as the committee to extend the greetings of the convention to the Elks. The adjournment was taken at this stage to meet again at 1:20 at the Booker T. Washington University. Women's Industrial Exhibition In lieu of the regular afternoon session the Second Annual Woman's Industrial Exhibition under the auspices of the Universal Negro Improvement Association was opened at 230 p.m. today by His Excellency Hon Marcus Garvey the President General and Provisional President of Africa, in the hall of the Booker T Washington University at 13 West 136th street. A large gathering of persons of both sexes was present, among whom were His Highness the Potentate Hon Gabriel Johnson, His Highness the Supreme Deputy Hon. G O Marke, the High Commissioner Hon E Wilcom Ellegor and Hon Rudolph Smith, leader of the Eastern Provinces of the West Indies. This exhibition, which is now a permanent feature of the annual internation convention, is intended to give encouragement and stimulus to the women of the race in industrial pursuits and in the development of their talent along those lines by affording them the opportunity to present their handiwork before the public. How keenly they appreciate this opportunity was shown by the large and varied number of exhibits which were received and displayed at the exhibition. It was a demonstration of skill and technique for which the women justly deserve a meed of praise, and which was ungrudgingly accorded them by those who witnessed the function The hall was beautifully decorated with flags and bunting, and the large variety of exhibits was orderly laid out to the best advantage on tables and counters placed all around the room and at different points in center. The exhibits were all the product of Negro women from different parts of the world and gave evidence of the art and talent possessed by the women of the race in making articles of the finest and most delicate description. There were exhibits from the divisions of the U. N. L. A., all parts of the West Indies, Central America, Africa, the United States and Canada, Spanish Honduras figuring conspicuously with the largest number of exhibits. The African exhibits attracted the most attention, since they were novel in character and displayed the art of the native Africans who are generally believed to be in such a backward state that they cannot create anything to meet the needs of or that can be appreciated by modern civilization. These exhibits, on the contrary, displayed a finesse and delicate character of art and culture. They consisted of ivory necklaces, hats bags, every handle walking canes and other striking novelties. The exhibits on the whole were all of a very interesting nature and imparted an inspiration to those who saw them which will impel them to support the Women of the race in the further development of their talent and skill and the preparation of themselves to follow industrial pursuits on a large scale. The arrangements for the exhibition were placed in large of a committee headed by H. W. Wilkinson in whom due credit must be given for the use of the exhibition. Addresses were delivered by Mr. Elligor who acted as master of ceremonies. His Highness the Potentate, His Highness the Supreme Deputy His Excellency the President General Hon. F. A Toote Hon Rudolph Smith and Jap F. C. Clinean who spoke in logical terms of the women and paid a high tribute to them for the skillful work which they had produced. The President General also took occasion to pay a high tribute of honor and respect to Booker T. Washington after whom the institution in which the exhibition was held was named. The name of Booker T. Washington he said was immortal. The fact that he was a duer of things and not an imputer. Hon Wincem Elleger is introducing the speaker explained the object of the calligraphy was to bring before the public the art industry and skill of our women. Articles had been received from all parts of the world coming from far off Africa and from different parts of the Caribbean. He said that a number of judges had been appointed to inspect from the various exhibits and award prizes and certificates. The three best which certificates will be signed by the Potentai's President, general and the High Commissioner. Hon Gabriel Johnson in his remarks and he was of the opinion that no man in the world could succeed with the help of a woman. If he had asked and success it was also the woman had contributed in a large measure to many people and knew very little about the race of African men. The title held in the tribes in Africa, stated their women be knitted. This was true in many tribes, in this race, they had the highest regard for womanhood. Although as good as Orontes custom they had more than one wife nevertheless the women were held in high esteem. He believed that the men who had succeeded in a degree in the different spheres of life are the men who had the highest regard and reason for the opinions and the feelings of the women of his race. There were many men in race who had ever little regard for their woman, but he hoped that would not be very long before we would have a very few men of this race in race and that the women should be higher until they have been in the eyes of men in race. In conclusion he urged couragement he given to this country and to the women race in all parts of the world he believed that if men were by the women the women would stand in them to the end. Hen G. G. McCormack belonged to a eulogy to the women. The eulogy he said was of great value because they enabled us to appreciate our brothers and sisters to stay and establish a certain kind of ourselves by seeing these things it was very gratifying, he said to fit that all the diversified paths in which were seen here emanated from the brains of our own people. How Marcus Garvey in his remarks said industry was the tailbone of a race and a nation and was the means by which any people lifted themselves to greatness. If the things which were seen here this afternoon made by the hands of black women were as good as those as made by white people there was absolutely no argument why we should not patronize our own industries and no reason why we should not imagine that the women of our race can become a great power industrially in shaping the destiny of our race. It was for us to support the women in their attempt to develop the industries that were capable of producing on a small scale to enable them to produce them in large quantities in mills and factories. The Booker Washington University Digressing to speak of the Booker T Washington University, the President General said that the doors of the In- stitution would be thrown open on September 1 for the students who were to be the future leaders of the Universal Negro Improvement Association al over the world. They were not go- going to pick men indiscriminately and send them out as our representative, but everybody in the future who represent the association must pass through the university and prepare themselfs for the work. The university, he said, memorized the name of a great man and a great educator, probably the greatest in the American continent, because he made himself out of nothing. Booker T Washington stands out today as one of the greatest of human beings because he was a creator and not an imitator. Every successful Southern business man, every Negro school and institution where our people was being trained, in the Southern States, and every man who was making good in the different walks of life in industry was a reflection of the greatness of Booker T Washington The L N I A, he said had the idea of fostering the industrial program set by Booker T Washington and in addi- tion had the idea of nationhood a gov- ernment of our own so that our in- stries could be protected. In conclusion he urged that every encouragement he given the women in their work and then formally declared the exhibition open MONDAY EVENING, AUGUST 21 The Grand Fashion Reve In the evening a grand fashion never preceded by a concert was held at Lilburnery Hall. The evening's program was a remarkable process and funneling a fitting finale to the proceedings of Women's Day 1922, which added a dusty page to the history of the achievements of the women of the race in the industrial and artistic fields. The Industrial and Art Exhibition of 1921, held under the auspices of the Universal Negro Improvement Association in connection with the Second International Convention of the Negro Peoples of the World, was a striking success. It exemplified that Negro women, in spite of handicaps, were not one whit behind the women of other places in the useful arts. It was regarded as a stimulant to female endeavor which would increase as such exhibitions were multiplied. These expectations are being realized to the full. The L. N. A. Annual Industrial and Art Exhibition has come to stay. Women of the race connected with the Universal Negro Improvement Association have everywhere august the spirit. No longer are they subject to artistic genius no farther than he was of their former. They have come to realize their merit and the market value the cultivation and determination of re- cover their self respects are asking the foundation for entering on a big scale into competition in the industria, world in their own peculiar sphere. The Woman a Part As the universal Negro improvement Association is teaching Negro men to wake up and play men's parts realize that the most inferior to those who too long dominated them are the women of the race being taught a lot from gynecology on women of the race there is much that can be learned in the parts of culture that is likely to the hard sex. Monthly exercises are the best that women of race can do to maintain the matter of dress need of frequent use of the military and dress for the abjects of a race the express and safe costumes designed by the mankind with the genius admiration of a creative assembly of colored great up to modernists and miners of the Negro business capital.

Miss Isabelle Lawrence read a very instructive paper on Health in the Home and Mrs Mary A Johnson delivered an address in the course of which she appealed to the tax to make more use of the productive and creative qualities which they possessed in greater measure than the women of any other race. The Supreme Deputy's Gratification At the conclusion of the function His Highness the Supreme Deputy, Hon. C. Marke, congratulated the Exhibition Committee and all those who assisted in making the fashion display a success. It was a pleasure to view the hand costumes displayed.

Readers of the Negro World are earnestly requested to invite our attention to any failure on the part of an advertiser to adhere to any representation contained in a Negro World advertisement. THE ENVOYS TO THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS ALREADY the Third International Convention of Negroes has sent three delegates to the League of Nations to present a memorial requesting that the former German colonies in Southeast Africa be ceded to Negroes for the establishment of an empire or republic, where black men can demonstrate their capacity for self-government. Six men were appointed, including the interpreter. And of these five will go. These men will undoubtedly give a good account of themselves. The Supreme Deputy Potentate G. O. Marke, who heads the delegation, is a native of Sierra Leone, who was educated in Sierra Leone and an English university. He has had experience as an editor and government official in his native land. He is brilliant, resourceful, courageous, courteous, tactful and diplomatic. He is a firm man with a pleasant manner and will make a favorable impression upon the European diplomats. He has the intimate knowledge of African affairs and European politics to lend weight to his words. And we know of no better man to head the delegation than G. O. Marke. Of the other gentlemen appointed, we have this to say: The Rev. Dr. Diggs, of Baltimore, is a ripe scholar and eloquent speaker, who has had considerable experience as a clergyman and educator; William Sherrill, the second assistant president general and titular American leader; lawyer J. A. Norris, of Philadelphia, and Mr. R. H. Hodge are bright, ambitious and energetic young men, who have the courage of their convictions and are fluent speakers. Professor Adams, of San Francisco, the interpreter, is a Haitian. He is well read and widely informed, has an impressive and dignified personality, a well modulated voice and he has a mastery of both the English and French languages. Whatever can be gotten from the European diplomats, these gentlemen will secure. But the soaptical and the doubting Thomases are speculating as to what this delegation will actually accomplish at Geneva, Switzerland. We must remember that in cosmic and human affairs great results are not achieved in a day or hour. It took thousands of years to upheave the mighty mountains and furrow out the river beds that we behold on this planet on which we live. It took centuries to evolve man from the primitive cave man, who lived in a cave and fought wild beasts with clubs and stones into the present civilized being who lives in a steam-heated and electric-lighted palace, rides in an automobile and attends grand opera. It took over a thousand years to evolve the British Empire. It took three hundred years to transform the American forest into a land teeming with mills and factories and dotted with large and populous cities. So we do not believe that the European diplomats will, in the twinkling of an eye, cede away to black men, thousand of square miles of territory, possessing mineral and vegetable wealth in great abundance. Statesmen take their time in adjusting grave and important issues. Three years and a half have elapsed since the representatives of the great powers sat around a table at Versailles, France. Woodrow Wilson, Lloyd George, Clemenceau, Orlando and other men of mark gathered there. And still many of the problems then and there discussed are still in solution. So we will not be greatly disappointed if the delegates return to New York in sixty days without bringing home the bacon. But the delegation will probably be courteously received as it represents a world-wide organization, whose influence penetrates every section of the globe. It will give the master minds in European politics something to think about. It will pave the way for future conferences. It will attract the attention of the civilized world. And it may come back with this definite promise of a slice of African territory. And, therefore, we wish the delegation bon voyage. A BUILDING PROGRAM SOME years ago Mr. Victor Daly made an economic survey of Harlem which showed the phenomenal population growth of Negro New York. The 1920 census shows that there are upwards of 150,000 Negroes north of 125th Street, and this number is steadily increasing. Coming on top of the tense post-war conditions, it created a situation yet not competently met with. That is the question of housing. In order to accommodate the hundreds of delegates to the Third International Convention, the Universal Negro Improvement Association ordered control of the Phyllis Wheatley Hotel on 136th Street and partly served a situation that is bordering on the desperate. Not only for the town visitors (and don't forget, New York is this mecca of convictions and conferences) find it difficult to secure proper quarters, but the fault growing residents here also find it a source of ever-present anxiety. Jewish capitalists, taking advantage of the helpless small-business industry of the Negro, are dangerously in control of the housing and building industry. In keeping with their policy, rents continue to pour alarmingly. Apartments, out of picturesque Striver's Rowm from three to four rooms, are being bartered at from $60 to $75 and higher, and as in the days of Booker Washington, family tenants are being hired in apartments and offered into the sanctity of their home-holdings to make both ends meet. This is pretty plain talking. It is clear that parents desiring to bring up their children in a proper environment and pitch their tents in neighbouring suburbs. What is more, when it comes to Harlem? The result is too head-acheful to cope with. The housing problem is at the bottom of this. It is now a new evil in the community. It determines the social, economic and moral future of the Negro. Benjamin T. Washington was born in the day the Negro needs to be his own industrial ```markdown ``` master. What is needed in this community is building, and not building financed by Wall Street, either, but by forward-seeing Negroes, to help solve the present situation. Negroes predominate numerically here, and unless they want to sit passive to the charge that they are incapable of self-government, it is up to them to take the item industrially. get at the crux of rent inflation, and drive the profiteers out! THE NEGRO IN BIG BUSINESS A FEW days ago a famous banker and a prominent clergyman of New York City met the literary editor of the Negro World as he was en route to the U N. I A convention. Quite naturally the conversation centered around Marcus Garvey, the Universal Negro Improvement Association and the industrial organizations which sprang from its roots. The clergyman commended the spiritual and idealistic aspirations of the U N I A, and recognized it as a dynamic force in the world. He stated that it aroused the racial consciousness of the Negro and that it had a tidal wave of racial aspiration behind it, urging it on and impelling it forward. But he regretted that colored men of large business experience had not attached themselves to the movement And just here, the banker interposed and in a five-minute talk threw light upon the economic phases of the subject. He said in substance, "We have produced many men who have succeeded in business on a small scale. We have produced many successful farmers, realty and insurance promoters, grocers, restaurateurs, contractors who have done remarkably well, operating business enterprises on a small scale. But we have few men in our race who have had the business experience to enable them to operate a steamship line, run a large factory or engage in an import and export business on a large scale. In a word we have produced few men who have engaged in big business and who have handled hundred of thousands of dollars annually." Just here, the literary editor of the Negro World made the remark that in this respect, the U. N. I. A was an educational factor in the Black Man's evolution, for it was giving him something new, experience in big business. And then the three speakers wended their respective ways, the banker to catch a train, the clergyman to visit a trustee, and the literary editor of the Negro World to hear the deliberations in Liberty Hall. As he boarded a train for Connecticut in the evening and reposed in his seat, the editor thought over the pregnant words of the banker. He reflected that three years ago this summer, colored people in Philadelphia and New York were buying property at high prices, while in Hartford, Conn., a wealthy Caucasian lady was renting out her home by the seashore and endeavoring to sell while the colored people in Philadelphia and New York were endeavoring to buy? Some broker, who studied the financial weather, had observed that a financial wave was on its way, that it was a wave of financial depression and that it would strike America in about twelve months, perhaps a few weeks before and perhaps a few weeks later. So he gave the Caucasian lady a tip and advised her to get hold of as much ready cash as possible. Most of the colored people in Philadelphia and New York who bought property at high rates three years and three years and a half ago, had no one to give them a tip, and hence some were left high and dry when the wave of financial depression struck this country and receded. The banker was right, we have few men of color in the world who have studied the operations of Wall Street, the fluctuations of the market, and the international aspects of economics. THE A. B. C OF FINANCE Big business is constructed along lines as simple as the low, big sky scrapers of New York City. Steel frames are erected and the big blocks of stone built around them. Wall Street operates according to two simple principles. One is the law of supply and demand. The other is the principle of buying low and selling high. What do we mean by these two principles? When two men are looking for the same job, wages are low; when two jobs are looking for the same man wages are high. When there is only half enough sugar to supply the demand of the market, as was the case four years ago last winter, sugar is high. When the market is glutted with sugar and the supply of sugar is twice as great as the demand, sugar is low. Acting upon this principle, manufacturers, farmers and brokers endeavor to discover whether there is likely to be a scarcity or an abundance of cotton, wheat, sugar or tobacco next year and govern themselves accordingly. If the farmer discovers that the crop of cotton is plentiful this year and that cotton is stored up in warehouses by the bale, he will not sow all of his land in cotton next spring. If he discovers that there has been a scarcity of cotton this year and that the cry is, "Cotton and more cotton," he will sow as much of his land in cotton as possible. The importer and exporter act according to the same principle. The importer discovers whether there is a big demand for Brazilian nuts, sugar, cocoa, rubber, ebony and mahogany in America before he invests thousands of dollars in Brazil, Cuba and Africa, bringing in those products. The cotton manufacturer discovers whether there is a big demand for cotton goods at home and abroad, whether Japan and China cry out for "cotton goods and more cotton goods" before he runs his mill at its maximum capacity. Then, again, the brokers endeavor to buy when the market is low and sell when it is high. They take a chance. If they buy today in wheat and the price of wheat goes down tomorrow or next week or next month, they lose. If it goes up, they win. This is how big business operates. Facing competition, a man who starts a laundry, grocery store, restaurant, hotel, clothing or shoe or millinery or department store cannot make huge profits unless he has on hand some commodity that there is a demand for and that his competitors do not have on hand. Thus we can see that an exhaustive study of political economy or years of experience in big business is necessary before colored men can venture out into the seas of high finance and return with richly laden ships. But colored men have established steamship lines, they are embarking in the import and export business, and are setting up as brokers. They are getting valuable experience. The next decade will begin to witness the success that will follow close upon the heels of the valuable experience. FOREIGN AFFAIRS BY DUSE MOHAMED ALI Lloyd George has been telling an American ambulant politician that England and America combined could rule the world. These two countries appear to be dominating things pretty effectively just now. America has cornered the world's gold and held up the world's trade and England has secured several territorial slices in Africa and Asia in the way of mandates and spheres of influence. Perhaps the British Prime Minister aims at cornering the air so that none but Britons and Americans shall breathe. Obviously, with the ever present failure of his numerous commissions and conferences to adjust national and international differences, Lloyd George is endeavoring to dazzle Christendom with a new stunt. An Anglo-Saxon military and commercial alliance would look extremely well on paper and would no doubt give the British Premier a much needed lift at the next general election. Such a potential alliance would also be a warning to Poincare and would be pleasing to Germany because an Anglo-Saxon alliance would obviously be operated in the interests of German trade revival with its concomitant offset against French military domination. The American financiers already know that the collapse of Germany means the collapse of Europe, and that unless Germany and Austria are made financially stable Europe must totter to its fall, and that fall must inevitably react upon America. The gold that America hoards at the present time is not benefiting American commerce, and the longer that gold is held the more certain and imminent will be the European catastrophe. It is quite evident that Russia will be the first to recover from the present depression. It is the way with agricultural countries, and this notwithstanding the obstructions of France, England and Italy This reminds me that the Russian rival royalist parties are wandering about Europe looking for a spiritual home from which to launch their stratagems and plots. Munich, where they hold their congress next month, has given them the cold shoulder Berlin's pact with the Bolshevik makes it impossible for them to find a resting place in the German capital, and now it is reported that they are about to migrate to Paris after the Munich congress, where, in Republican France, the Grand Duke Cyril, who has proclaimed himself future Czar—by kind permission of the Russian people—can fight his claim with the partisans of the Grand Dukes Dimitri and Nicholas. Quite an imperial imbroglio this—comic opera of the highest order. It is hardly probable, however, that the congress of Monarchists will take any definite action on the claims of the Grand Dukes Cyril Vladimrovich and Dimitri Pavlovich, cousins of the Czar, to the throne. Each of them has a following; there does not appear any extreme enthusiasm for either of them, and it is felt that if the congress acts it would probably cause dissension in their ranks. Cyril probably has more supporters than Dimitri among the Constitutionalists, and the latter has greater strength among the Absolutists. Cyril is attracting considerably more attention just now than Dimitri. He has appointed Duke Golitzine, who is a refugee in Hungary, as his personal representative to all governments and has announced that he intends to flood Russia with proclamations to the people and to the Red army, making promises of land grants and general amnesty. Germany has again started her system of peaceful penetration in the Fast. The exchange of professors between German schools and schools in the Orient has been resumed for the first time since the war. Prof Hans Driesch of Leipzig and Prof Wilhelm already have left for China to arrange an exchange of instructors. Prof Max Winternitz of the University of Prague and Joseph Strzygowski, author of "The History of Eastern Art," will go to Tagore's school in India. These are the members of the advance guard of German Kultur. This was the system which made the German cause so popular during the war throughout the Orient, and it gives us furiously to think. Whilst France is squabbling about reparations and England is holding conferences, Germany is peacefully recreating favorable sentiment in the Orient which must result beneficially to her Education is the crying need of oriental and African peoples, and Germany is the only European country which has fostered this ideal. The Germans realize that the Orient is awake and that it needs Western education to enable it to measure up to Western standards. England has done nothing in this respect. In fact, she has done her utmost to eliminate such education as existed in her protectorates and spheres of influences. France has done very little better than Britain, and Italy has done nothing. This brings us to the question of Negro advanced education. Very few Negroes of the new world know more than one language. Those in Haiti and the French West Indies know French alone, and those in the British possessions and in the United States of America, English only. It is obvious that the new African call to the new world Negroes demands at least a knowledge of Arabic. Consequently it is the duty of race leaders and race thinkers to see that languages, especially Arabic, should be introduced into the schools which are entirely under Negro control. It is more profitable for a Negro student to learn Arabic or one of the main African languages, such as Bantu or Yoruba, than Greek or Latin. I have frequently stated that the Negro of the Western world must make Africa his objective, and a knowledge of Arabic at least would be a decided advance in that direction. Abyssina speaks Arabic and there is a desire in that country for brainy American Negro settlers who would help on the development of the country, which is Negroid, and from whence the parent stock of the Negro had its birth. A Harvard or Yale Negro graduate who, boasting his American citizenship, might prefer to remain in the United States and become a cook, a waiter or even a policeman, but it is not necessary for him to go to either of these seats of learning to qualify for such humble positions. Yet such is the case. Both waiters and policemen are necessary adjuncts to civilization, but we naturally assume that the man who graduates from a university does so with the hope of applying the education he has received. If, therefore, he finds it impossible to obtain employment suitable to his mental equipment in the new world, it is his duty to himself and his race that he find that employment outside of the United States, and as there is no other place where his demands are likely to meet with success, it is his duty to go to Africa and assist in building up the motherland for the benefit of himself and other Negroes. This is not the popular idea, but as economic conditions become increasingly difficult for the Negro he will have no outlet other than Africa for his mental endowments. . . . --- Hours I eat, unharmed, in the cafeteria, and watched, and enjoyed them as they come in. Buried in a bouquet of *Jalinea rose* she view in and, metaphorically, throw a dash of ice water in the cold epines-like face of the untemperamental.

And bummed around seaports, and spent nights in Bohemia, and loved and lost I am lost in the depths of her sapphire eyes. Of everything else I am illiquid. I drop my fork, and, widely, feast on her, and slightly tug my eyes.

Nathan L. Miller, and one of them inquired: "In view of the proposed fight between Dampsey and Wills, the Negro, I was wondering how you felt on the question. How do you feel about a Negro fighting a white man?" The Governor promptly replied: "I have no objection. I am in favor of the best man, white or black." FRANK MAY VISITS HEAD- QUARTERS Mr Frank May of Pittsburgh, on his way to Massachusetts, visited Liberty Hall and the Universal Building the Phyllis Wheatley Hotel and the Negro World office.

CONGRATULATIONS I want to take this opportunity to pay my respects to the Universal African Royal Guards stationed at headquarters. They are performing wonderful duty at the Convention. The discipline manifested by the rank and file of the Guard is admirable. Credit has to be given to the commander Colonel Wattley, for this great display of determination on the part of the Guards to render service to the Universal Negro Improvement Association COLORED STUDENT FACES CASTE PREJUDICE IN ATTEMPT TO MASTER ARCHITECTURAL COLORED STUDENT FACES CASTE PREJUDICE IN ATTEMPT TO MASTER ARCHITECTURAL Editor of Negro World: For long I have had the tendency to request you to publish the accompanying letter which would inform your readers of the injustice the writer suffered at the hands of his former teachers in his attempt to master the principles of architectural drawing. The letter follows To Principal of DeWitt Clinton High School, Evening Session Respected Sir and Educator: Pardon my perhaps seeming impertinence in forwarding you this missive, but may I assure you this is the outcome of the rank injustice I have suffered through my former teacher, Mr. Ginsberger? I would be doing myself a greater injury were I to refrain from bringing the matter to your attention. I need not relate here the details of your discussion with Mr. Ginsberger pertaining to said matter; the surprising part of it is this: Upon my entry into the classroom he asserted that he wanted me to feel that my success was his, which time has proved his statements, both spoken and written, to be the veneer of his conscience. "On account of my work conditions, and recent physical indisposition over which I have no control at present, which as you know are responsible for my alternate attendance, yet in spite of these facts, whenever I enter the classroom his salutation to me is: 'I was just about to ask you to quit.'

This would spell ruin for the Association and set the Negro race back hundreds of years. And so, when the time arrived for Dr Eason to take the stand to testify, against the President-General all eyes were centered on him and a stillineas pervaded the house, for everyone was on tiptoe, eager to catch every word of his testimony and to learn what the accusing ex-official would bring out in substantiation of the charges against the President-General. While the assembly awaited the opening of the trial they listened to a well arranged musical program, in which was included a humorous reading by Mr J T Bell and a recitation by Mr Sebastian. The Black Star Line Band, under the leadership of Prof Isles, rendered some very pleasing selections, and the singing of Mme. Barrier Houston, Mr John H. Nelly and Mr Hummings was delightful. The program concluded, the President-General, who occupied the Chair announced that on Friday night August 26th, the Convention would bid adieu to another member of the delegation selected to go abroad to represent the Negro peoples of the world at the assembly of the League of Nations. He wanted all those present to turn out in full force and to bring their friends, so that a hearty send-off could be given the delegate. And, besides, the Association had to raise an additional amount of money to help defray the expenses of the delegation The minutes of the afternoon session were then read and adopted with corrections. A motion that as many legal points had come up in the day sessions the official record of the day sessions become a part of the minutes of the day, was carried unanimously without debate. The motion was made on the suggestion of the President-General. The President General on Trial The chair then announced that the convention would take up the next item on the agenda, "Trial of His Excellency the President General and administrator of the Universal Negro Improvement Association on complaints" of the American Leader, J W H Eason." The convention resolved itself into a court for trial. Hon. Alonzo D Peterson acted as presiding judge. The President General conducted his own case assisted and advised by Hon. Paupai H Stuart Hon. Verual J Janus Acting Counsel General, was tested in the prosecution of the case against Austin Norris. association to function in their proper positions. A Vital Admission Cross-examined by counsel for the defense, who tried to test the veracity and credibility of the witness and to show malice and that he was not a financial member of the Universal Negro Improvement Association at the time he brought the charges against the President General, the witness admitted that he had paid no dues in the association for four months, which rendered him unfinanced, but accused his delinquency with the statement that the secretary of the Philadelphia division, of which he was an active member, had refused to accept his dues on instructions from the President General, which the President General denied, and also that he visited the office of the division on several occasions and found it closed. Dr. Eason Not a Financial Member Dr. Eason not a financial member Many legal points were disputed by counsel on both sides throughout the examination and cross-examination of Dr. Eason, and the trial lagged somewhat. Closing his cross-examination of the witness, who at times gave evasive answers to the questions put to him, counsel for the defense (Hon Marcus Garvey) in a few remarks made application to the court for the dismissal of the charges against him on the ground that the complainant was not a financial member of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and was therefore incompetent to bring charges against a responsible officer of the association. This fact counsel for the defense stated, had been established from the complainant's own statement and admission that he was a member of the association behind in his dues, which was tantamount to saying that he was unfinancial. Counsel for the prosecution could not see why the other side had waited until then to make application for dismissal of the charges on the ground that the complainant was not a financial member of the association. He was of the opinion that the defense had knowledge that the complainant was not a financial member of the association, and should have arrested the charges long before. The presiding judge was somewhat in doubt on the question that Dr Eason having been proved to be an unfinancial member of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, was incompetent to bring charges against a responsible officer of the association. He expressed a desire to study the question until the following day, but counsel on both sides would not hear of this and continued to argue the point. After considerable argument His Honor ruled that the case had resolved itself into one of the Universal Negro Improvement Association against Marcus Garvey, that Dr Eason's evidence was material to the issue and that he (Dr Eason) was properly a complaining witness on the charges. Appeal to Convention (Counse) for the defense was not satisfied with the ruling and, intimating his desire to appeal to the convention from the ruling of the presiding judge on the constitution of the association, refused to proceed further with the trial. The presiding judge relinquished his seat to allow of the appeal to the convention against his ruling. Dr. Eason's Charges Stricken Out The convention automatically resumed, motion on the mode of procedure having been waived by popular vote, with the Rt. Hon. F. A. Toote, Secretary-General, acting Speaker-in-Convention. Hon Marcus Garvey, President-General, appealed to the convention from the ruling given by the presiding judge. A motion by Hon. G A. Lesile, New York, followed requiring that the charges brought against the President-General as being incompetent to handle the affairs of the Universal Negro Improvement Association be stricken out. The motion was seconded by Hon. R. F. Austin (Brooklyn) and carried by a majority. The President-General then announced his willingness to go on trial if the charges were brought by some competent person. At 11 o'clock the chair entertained a motion by Hon. Vinton Plummer that the convention adjourn until 11 a.m. on the following day. The motion was THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 1822 duly seconded and carried, and the con- vention rose. EASON TRIAL Trial of G. W. H. Eason, Who, After Case Started, Disappeared, Then Returned The convention reassembled at 8 p. m. and opened with the usual preliminaries. The minutes of the morning session were read by the Secretary General and on motion made by J. W Hurst (Chicago), seconded by Hon T C Glashen (Tennessee), were adopted. The Chair announced that the convention would resolve itself into a court and resume the hearing of the trial of the American leader. He thereupon vacated the chair, which was occupied by Hon. A. D. Pettiford, acting as Judge. Certain delegates who were not present at the morning session came forward and were duly sworn in on the jury. The American leader was represented by Attorney J. A. Norris as counsel, while Acting Counsel-General Varnal J. Williams conducted the case on behalf of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Attorney Norris May it please your Honor. I rise to discuss some fundamental laws—conditions precedent to going into the trial of this case. Prof. Pound to the Rescue Attorney Williams There is nothing before the court, simply a complaint and a plea. It seems to me that if counsel desires to make a motion he has got to abide by the regular procedure in a court of law Attorney Norris I do not see how counsel can object before I have, uttered a word May it please your Honor there have been certain charges lodged against the defendant and I want to address myself for a few minutes to the legality of these charges. The best authority in this country upon internal constitutional organization, fraternities, associations and benevolent associations and the like, and the best authority on equity jurisdiction in this country is Roseco Pound, present dean of Harvard University. And what does he say? Mr. Pound contends that for internal constitutional law to be just and in accordance with natural justice as we understand it in our American courts it must first have a preliminary hearing; secondly, the right of appeal if we are going to square ourselves with natural justice, if we are going to square our laws with the laws that govern these United States, the Constitution and by-laws of this association must provide for an appeal. Attorney Williams (interrupting): In order that counsel may not confuse the jury I want to correct him here. I know what he is going to say, and I have got the right to arrest it right here. When the American leader stood for election there was a contractual obligation; there was a mutual assent to abide by all the provisions of the by-laws under which he was to operate and now counsel cannot be heard to raise any objection as to the by-laws. These by-laws provide that in the case of any violation or misconduct he will be impeached in the manner we are now proceeding, and no argument can be heard to controvert the procedure here. The Chair: I want to ask counsel for the defense one question. You speak about an appeal court. Is there any place in the Constitution to provide for that? Legal Wranglings Attorney Norris. I will get to that. The Chair. Is there anything under the Constitution that will lead you to presume there should be an appeal court? Attorney Norris. I think so, according to my judgment. The Chair: Is that taken from the regular procedure in American laws? Attorney Norris. Let me answer my friend the prosecuting attorney and the matter will be clarified. Let me take up a statement that he has made which is nonsensical. Suppose there was a signed contract and suppose that was according to the Constitution and by-laws of an organization; and suppose the Constitution and by-laws of this organization were inconsistent and violation of the laws of the land, do you mean that under Constitution and by-laws the contract signed would be legal? Certainly not. The Chair: That is irrelevant here unless you make a statement that there was a violation of the law. Attorney Norris: I am contending that it is against fundamental laws. that it is against fundamental lawa. Attorney Williams: The law is a fundamental question of procedure. All the Constitution demands is that the man gets a trial. The Constitution provides that the man gets a trial. There is nothing in that Constitution that says a man must go from one court to another. The question of going from lower courts to a higher court is simply a method of procedure. There is nothing in the law which compels any association to follow those modes of procedure. All the man wants is a trial. A trial is provided for, and that is all, and when he accepted his election he consented to that. The chair (to defendant's attorney): Have you anything else to offer except the point you are trying to make? The U. N. I. A. Constitution At orrey Norris: I do not see how the point is clear to Your Honor. As I was contending, the constitution of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and the by-laws of any association, whether it be beneficial regardless of its structure and its purposes and alma must be in accordance with the fundamentals of the American government. Now, I gave as the best authority in this country on equity jurisdiction Roscoe Found, and what does he say? "In order for the constitution and bylaws to be constitutional from a standpoint of the American laws governing the American people it must provide for a right of appeal; it must have its lower and upper court. They assume that in a preliminary hearing that there are such circumstances as internal construction in such a war that man would not get --- a fair trial and his character may be needlessly blamed by a verdict of guilt when the man had not been given a fair trial." The Chair: Where is that law? Attorney Norris: I am working here from general law. I will call attention to the particular law later on. I am surprised that Your Honor and my learned friend do not know that. Attorney Williams. I cannot afford to have my friends cast reflections like that. The Chair: I demand an apology Attorney Norris: I gladly apologize. Attorney Williams: I want to show that my friend has exhibited no learned knowledge of the law. This case is being conducted simply along the rules of law and not along the rules of equity. He cannot attempt to bring rules of equity to bear on this procedure. The Chair I want to say this to you that every association in the land whether it has courts upper or lower or just have a committee, their tribunal is enforced, you know that. Attorney Norris No. I do not know it that is just what I am contending. Norria Adamant Attorney Williams I know counsel ought to know that. The Chair If there is any appeal it is taken to the courts of the land. Attorney Norris. I contend that you are in doubt about the matter. I move for an adjournment of two hours, and I will bring the law here. The Chair: I am not in doubt about the law. I think you are. Attorney Norris: I know what the law is, and I think we have the right of appeal to the Potentate, this is a sort of preliminary hearing before the convention. The Chair: I am going to rule on this. You are telling me what you think. If you have a right of appeal why don't you make an appeal? If you have got a right to appeal you have got to go through this case and then appeal after Attorney Norris. No. I have not. Attorney Norris I can waive hearing any time. Attorney Williams I believe counsel is fragrantly stalling this trial. He is trying to arrest this trial for the advantage of his client The Case Proceda The Chair (to Attorney Norris) Your objection is overruled, proceed with the case. Attorney Norris We will not proceed with the case. Attorney Williams Then we will get judgment by default Your client pleaded guilty yesterday. Attorney Norris No, he did not he did not know what guilty meant I think something very detrimental to the interest of my client has been stated. He said he was guilty, but by his very defense he shows he is not guilty. The Chair That is irrelevant to the issue. Attorney Williams Yesterday he said he was guilty. Attorney Norris And he said it through ignorance, not knowing the technicality of the term. The Chair. He said he pleaded guilty but with an explanation: so let those things go by. He pleaded not guilty now and that is what is before the court. There is a plea of not guilty taken on this issue, and we will let the issue go on that. Attorney Norris I have another matter in regard to the association in behalf of my client. I am certain and I am not going to labor through five or six hours unnecessarily when I know that this convention is in no frame to do justice to the defendant. I am determined if we cannot have a court of appeal summoned which can sit down and in a very judicial way and consider these charges. I am determined that we do not go to trial. The Chair I have overruled you on that point. Why go over it? Attorney Norris: Well, so that ends here as far as I am concerned. I will withdraw from the trial. Williams Makes a Request Attorney Williams: I desire to make a motion. I move that inasmuch as these charges were brought in due manner as provided by the constitution and as provided by the by-laws under which this defendant officer was elected to his office. inasmuch as yesterday this defendant officer had ample time to defend himself, and inasmuch as he was given ample time to retain counsel and had retained counsel. inasmuch as counsel had appeared before this convention sitting with the full authority; inasmuch as counsel for this defendant, upon being retained by this defendant, did make application to this court on behalf of the defendant, and inasmuch as every reasonable human chance has been given this defendant to exculpate himself of these charges, and inasmuch as he has refused to defend himself and refused to continue. I ask the court to charge these ladies and gentleman sitting here as jurors to declare his office vacant—I mean, declare him guilty of the charges. Attorney Norris: I have an exception to that charge. The Chair: I ruled the motion out of order. I rule that we proceed with the case of the prosecution. Attorney Williams: I will withdraw my motion. Attorney Norris: I will withdraw from the court. Attorney Williams: You have refused to continue: you have had your day in court. Attorney Norris: May I make my exception?

All Delegates and Deputies to Convention. Our accommodation for 100 Persons. with the procedure until the prosecution has a chance to proceed. The Evidence Hon Marcos Garvey was the first witness for the prosecution, who, on being sworn, testified as follows: By Mr. Williams: Q. What is your office? A. I am President General and Administrator of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Q. As such administrator and in the performance of such functions does the American Leader come within your jurisdiction? A. He does. Q. What placed him under your jurisdiction? A. The by-laws governing his office. Our by-laws are an appendix to the constitution of the Universal Negro Improvements Association. Q. And do you know whether those are the by-laws his counsel offered here this morning? A. Yes. Q. Do you know whether those are the by-laws counsel discussed here during the first part of these proceedings here? A. Yes. I do know that. Q. As Administrator have you had the American Leader under surveillance during the last 12 months? A. I have. Q. Have you taken account of the things he has done? A. I have. Q. Have you received any complaints as to the conduct of the American Leader? A. Many Q. Have you them in your possession? A. Yes. Q. Do you know whether the places from which these complaints came are places visited by the American Leader? A. Yes. I do know that Q. Did you serve formal notice upon the American Leader that these charges were being brought against him? A. I served them, but I cannot remember the time I had served them. Q. At the time when you made these charges did you intend that the American Leader should have a hearing before this convention? A. I had intended. Proof of Charges Q. Did you give him an opportunity to have such hearing? A. I did. Q. Your first charge here is that the American Leader issued checks to divisions and members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association is bad faith knowing that he had no account at the bank covering the amounts for which such checks were issued. Have you any proof to sustain that charge? A. Yes. I have proof. Q. What are your proofs? A. I have the President of the Philadelphia Division, to which division he issued two checks, one in the amount of $65 and another in the amount of $20, and also in St. Louis he issued checks to one Mrs Jackson, I believe, and in Waterloo, Iowa, he issued a check to the President of that division. Q. Do you know whether those checks were over made good or came back? A. After my reprimanding him about the check issued in Iowa, he did make good after several months, after the man had complained to me on several occasions. The checks in Philadelphia have not been made good up to the present, and the check I believe in St Louis has not been made good. Borrowing Money Q You charge the American Leader with borrowing money from the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association as an officer of the association without any authority to do so* A. Yes. Q What is your basis for this charge* A. In different parts of the country he borrowed money from the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, namely, in Chicago, Waterloo, Iowa. St. Louis, Philadelphia and other points. Q. Did you instruct the American Leader to return money so borrowed? A. Yes; I did. Q. Do you know whether he has returned that money? A. No; he did not. Q. Did he give you any reasons for not returning the money? A. No. Q. The money the American Leader borrowed and did not return was that ever taken from his salary and paid? A. I do not know. Q. As far as you know those money have not been paid? A. As far as I know, except in the case of Waterloo, Iowa. Q. Number 3—You charge the American Leader with disobeying orders of the President-General and Administrator in violation of the constitution of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. What is your basis for these charges? A. The American Leader like all the other officials working in the Universal Negro Improvement Association on several occasions was given an itinerary to travel to different points of the country and speak to the divisions of the association. After taking the itinerary and leading us to believe that he would carry out the itinerary he refused to carry out the itinerary and made his own itinerary and did absolutely as he pleased without any further reference to the orders of the President-General and Administrator or of the Executive Council. Q. During the past year do you know of every trip that the American Leader made? A. Those as authorised from the office, but I know he has made several trips on his own account. I know nothing about them. Q. Did he not inform you of those trips? A. No. Q. Number 4—Tou charge the American Leader with selling pictures of the President-General and Provisional President of Africa and himself as American Leader without the authority of the organization and using the money for his own personal purpose. What is the banks for those charges? A. Complaints have been made by a large number of the divisions of the association in the United States of America where the American Leader did sell such pictures of the President-General and Provisional President of Africa and of himself, selling the President-General's picture at 35 cents and his at 15 cents, and failed to make a statement to the local division of the parent body. He was not authorized to do that, but on the contrary he along with other members of the Council was told not to do that. It is also stated in the constitution that no pne is privileged to do anything of the kind and in defence of the law and in defence of orders he printed these pictures on his own account, sold them to the various divisions on his own account and to the membership, the membership had the impression that the money so raised was money intended for the Universal Negro Improvement Association and was not going over to the American Leader. I know that hundreds and thousands of dollars in pictures have been sold that way and there is absolutely no report except in two particular instances when he was charged for doing that and helping to prevent the sale of pictures from the repository and hand-capping the funds of the association; in that instance he made two reports one I believe of old, and another for old. But he had then selling pictures for nearly a year. Q. After he was reprimanded he reported only twice? A. Yes Only $1,300 Due Him Q. You charge the American Leader, with uttering statements calculated to place the Universal Negro Improvement Association in an embarrassing and unfavorable position. What is your basis for these charges? A. The American Leader has on several occasions stated that the Universal Negro Improvement Association owes him money and will not pay him and he cannot get money to live on and remarks of that kind which created in the mind of members of the association and the public that the Universal Negro Improvement Association was unduly keeping away from the American Leader salary that he was entitled to, and that the Universal Ne- $750.00 If I Fail to Grow Hair!

Philippe Randolph and "Me Too" Chandler Owens, who own two of the most powerful brains in Harlem, have become so lopsided toting the grey matter they contain that they have been compelled to order slings in which to carry their headpieces in order to keep their brains from spilling. We tender these learned brahmins our deepest sympathy and we express the hope that their thinktanks won't burst during the hot spell. We understand that George, the aldermanic giant, is similarly affected, poor boy. The reading public will recall a story that the famous Booker T. Washington used to tell to illustrate how envious the average Negro is of his brother and to what lengths he will go to defeat his aspirations. It was to the effect that a crab, in a basket of his fellow crustaceans, attempted to climb out of the basket, and as he neared the top (being observed by his (allows) they made a rush for him and pulled him back into the basket. The "gas house" orators of Harlem, obsessed with the idea that Marous Garvey is going too fast and may ultimately lose them in the shuffle, are attempting to pull him back into the basket, but he has such a grip on the hickory that they cannot loosen it. Too bad gents, you are too late The scoundrel or scoundrels who are plotting to do bodily harm to Marcus Garvey will do well to make peace with their God before attempting to oblige their employers by removing the specter that is giving them cold shivers Marcus Garvey is one of the best protected Negroes in public life. The way to find this out will be for somebody to start something. The Negro or white hired assassin who would attempt the life of Marcus Garvey would be so badly disfigured that his remains would defy identification. But why should any group of Negroes or any individual Negro want to take the life of Marcus Garvey? What has to be done to become such a fate except to draw the deadly parallel between the old pompous, so-called fatheaded, do nothing leadership and the new aggressive and progressive orhip of which he is a striking and wildly example. The best and trust and safest test of a man's leadership is the confidence reposed in him by the masses and in its loyalty and identity to their cause. And who will pass that Marcus Garvey, ignorant witnesses and idiotic as he is said to be by one of the Brahmins who is growing shouldered because of an excess of grey matter does not possess the full confidence of the ignorant due to retaliers. Who shall follow his leadership and know that he is true to their interests as the soldier is to the pole? There is in no other Negro leader of light and leading except Marcus Garvey. The men who are hounding and napping him in press and on platform must use it if they do not yet ready or willing to admit that he is a man of instinctive ability and the last or first the race has yet produced. This is proven by his immense focus and over the world and by the humour moral and financial support which gives him not only a Negro leader ever bad such a feeling as Marcus Garvey or is an useful in control of them as this man enters life. Who do not these knoxes and fists and kickers and into actual jeopardy be fair, be honest and be MEN worthy of the name? What is their objective in their crusade against Marcus Garvey? What do they know of his plane? What do they know of his discredit? Nothing. Not nothing! except the garret of a fist as who have passed him false and whom he has thrown aside the bree worms because they were false to the race and his confidence, and because they lack the vision to see what he sees and the will power to do what he is determined to do for his race. Certainly he has made mistakes, who has! He could be human if he did not make some mistakes. The Phatics among us who are untimely thanking the Lord that they are not as he is a very bad and dangerous man would be shocked if the curtain were raised on some of their acts and some of their crookedness. One is led to suppose from the antics and utterances of these birds of paradise that their personal and public lives are as clean as a hound's tooth after breakfast that they never took a dollar that they had not honestly earned and never tried to separate the "ignorant masser" from their hard-earned dollars by appealing to them to support schemes innumerable presented by the intelligence, to which hundreds of thousands of dollars were subscribed by the toiling masses and never properly accounted for. Organization after organization has been established by these learned and talented Napoleons of finance within the last thirty five years. The Afro-American in Rerity Co. with its $800,000 capital made its chief promoter a millionaire. It caught the Negroes with its slogan, "Commmercialize Race Prejudice." The Metropolitan Realty Co. one of whose chief promoters is still a fugitive from justice, raked in thousands of dollars from the Negro people of New York, New Jersey and in many States of the South. Both these organizations have gone glimmering down the corridors of time, and the sharks who profited most by the credulity and faith in them and their schemes are living quietand retired lives somewhere. The Garvey organization, after suffering a reverse made possible largely by the Negro newspapers and Negro creators "with flintlock brains and hair-trigger mouths," has not run away from New York City nor from its # obligations to those who have supported it so loyally and determinedly. It isn't going to run away; there is no reason why it should run away, and there is no individual or group of Negroes in hall or out of it or in New York who can drive it or Marous Garvey away, because both have decided to remain here indefinitely and to do big business. Those who have invested their money in Black Star Line stock will be repaid all they have put into it, and the shipping business will be resumed, because the millions of Negroes throughout the world demand that it must and shall be resumed, and have through their representations in convention, pledged their lives, their dollars and their sacred honor to stand by Marous Garvey in putting over successfully the great scheme of doting the seas with ships to be ultimately owned and manned by Negroes for purposes of transportation and commerce. There is no group of Negroes in America or out of it who can stop the onward rush of the Universal Negro Improvement Association or dampen the order or diminish the seal of its intrepid leader Marous Garvey. Try it who dares! "Among the bushes they braved; under the nettles they were gathered together (JOB XXX. 1.) Thus spoke the faithful, patient Job to those who protended to look down on him in his adversities. He might bluntly have called them fools, asses; but he appears to have been a wit and a diplomat (judging from his language combined) It is a neat, witty, telling thrust. Jackasses do bray under bushes and gather together under the nettles. Without employing the word "Jackass" Job merely describes the place in which they are wont to meet. The Harlem species of the long-eared animal meet under the sidewalk in a temperature approximating 30 degrees and bray louder than their ancient ancestors because they are nettled by the way Marcus Garvey is doing things. They are shocked, dumb-founded, flabbergasted and several other things. And not one of them has as much as 50 cents invested in the Garvey enterprises. "What fools these mortals be." Letter from one of the "Old Guard," former naval officer at New Orleans My Dear Friend Bruce—Your favor of the 7th instant is before me and contents duly noted and, as I am still confined to my home from rheumatic troubles. I will find time to look up the Bible reference you have so kindly given me. The Bible is good authority even on the race question of the present day. I fully agree with you regarding the future of the Negro race in this country. No people have more faith in God and the future than the Negro race. No race has ever made the progress along all lines that it has in so short a period of time, and still seems to be content to wait as Joshua did to see the salvation of the Lord. It has been given but little protection from the mob or under the law, and it has been deceived by its party friends. The power of the Almighty Dollar has caused him to be cast aside. The old guard are passing away. I am one of the "308" that stood with Thos. C Platt and Roscoe Conkling, that went down to defeat for that great and good man. U. S. Grant, who, with his sword, made possible the freedom of my race and to a great degree stopped the bleaching of the Negro race in the South. Today we cannot tell who is who. Yet the Bible tells us to "Honor thy Father and thy Mother that thy day may be long," etc. I notice from the press reports that the G. O. P. is not a happy family in New York. The Great West is not satisfied, and after all may not the time come, as in 1863, when the Negro will have to be called to again help out? Col. "Jim" Lewis, the writer of this letter, was one of the leading men in Louisiana politics in the "good days." He was naval officer at New Orleans under President Arthur, and had no little influence politically in his day and generation, but those days have passed to return no more to the Negroes of the South. They have shot their bolt and the door is closed. The Republican party, North as well as South has changed its attitude toward the Negro. It has placed the dollar, the tariff and other vital questions above the black man, and it has no further need of him, as we shall see in the campaigns ahead of us. The ill-white Republicans of the South have eliminated the Negroes and those of the North have forgotten that they ever existed. The period of their disillusionment is upon them, and they shall soon see what they shall see of white Republican parity and crass ingratitude to an element of the electorate which was its chief asset in the days of its beginning. There are no longer in Congress or out of it white men with the moral courage and stamina to champion the cause of the Negro like Charles Summer, O. P. Merton, W. E. Chandler, Roscoe Conkling, Thaddeus Stevens, Geo. F. Hoar, Matt Carpenter, Geo. F. Edmunds, Zachary Chandler and a host of others no less notable and courageous. These have gone the way of all flesh, and they have left behind them no successors worthy of the name. The Negro has been abandoned by the Republican party since Hayes of Ohio surrendered to the South in 1877, and whenever he attempts to regain what he has lost at the hands of his party through its apathy and indifference, by resort to legislation, he sends cold sels down the banks of statesmen and causes them to give only half-hearted support to his just demands for a square deal. I express it as my opinion only that The Shuffle Inn Asses THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 1922 the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill will die "a-bornin", despite the formidable array of favorable indormentals behind it and the unanswerable legal proofs as to its constitutionality. It is not the kind of a measure calculated to induce prompt and effective action at the hands of a House and Senate and an administration which no observant man has had the temerity to characterize as being sufficiently clear-sighted, statesmanlike and broad-minded ad to be above mediocre in vision and action. These are the days of small-bore politicians and button-head statesmen, and if some of them were even able to evolve a really great idea or perform a truly great statesmanlike service to the country, they would be likely to expire from shock as a result of the doing of a thing so unusual in the line of public duty. THE NEGRO'S PRAYER By ROBERT L. POSTON Lord God, look down on Thy poor soul; Each passing breeze says I am my; An hundred times I have been told By babbling brooks I am of Thy plan.

Chicago, Ill. To the average thou there seems to be no do that the race has reached point in their racial deeds. The question that lies his mind today is what American statesmanship appears to have gone to seed. Nothing seems more clearly to indicate this than President Harding's wobbling and side-stepping on the strike problem. A man of the force of character and resourcefulness of Theodore Roosevelt would long ago have reached a decision leading to an amicable and satisfying adjustment of the differences between employers and employees. The type of delegates in attendance upon the Third International Convention now in session here are men and women of a high order of intelligence and they are reflecting credit upon the race, the Universal Negro Improvement Association and themselves personally. I will not particularly by calling names. I merely state a fact which must be apparent to all observers who have watched the convention while in action that our great convention will not suffer by comparison with any group of Negro legislators assembled anywhere in the world. I don't believe I am putting it too strong in saying this. I have attended dozens of Negro conventions in many parts of this country and I do not recall that any one of them was the equal in the number of constructive ideas advanced for racial uplift or in the number of thoughtful, educated and practical men and women represented in it. orderliness and respect for law, nor for its intelligent and comprehensive grasp of the subjects discussed and the purposes which have called it into being for "ignorant dupes," as the critics have elected to style them. I think this convention of Negroes of the world will go down in history as the most practical, thoughtful, earnest gathering of Negro men and women ever assembled to discuss weight questions involving the destiny of 400,000,000 black and colored peoples of the world. Certainly it has nothing to be ashamed of unless it be the misguided, envious, acrid-tongued critics who have been spilling bitter choler all over New York and the country because Marcus Garvey, a Jamaica-born Negro, has aroused the sleeping consciences of Negro people everywhere and is causing them to think, a thing which none of his critics has been able to do in thirty-five years, and this is the reason why the followers of Marcus Garvey love him and follow him—they do not care where he was born. What concerns them is what he has done and is doing for racial uplift. --- Mr. Joseph Stewart, president of the Washington. D. C.

AT THE ABSURY PARK DIVISION BY THOMAS MILLARD HENRY The week ending on the $2d instash has not rolled by without its showers of blessings for the Asbury Park Division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. We say showers of blessings because of the enthusiasm and high caliber of those whose eloquence has been so helpful to us during this recent period. To begin, Miss Junnson, representing the Washington (D. C.) Division as a lady vice-president, delivered an address to us which revealed her devotion to the Ethiopian cause. Two East Indian gentlemen also brought us messages of encouragement, Prof. Abdul Hamid and Dr. Sing. The people of Asbury Park will long remember Prof. Hamid because of his intimate acquaintance with the struggle which is called the Gandhi movement, because of his eloquent addresses and the charming solos that he sang to us in his native tongue. Further, the address of Dr. Sing on the subject of "Organisation" was a rare treat. Now, to comment on the next speaker is like witnessing the most intense rainfall in the season of blessed showers. It is widely admitted that Dr. Checkzill, the Oxford University scholar, the priest of the church of Abyssinia, the noted lecturer and educator, the black man who is recognized by the scholars of the white nations as the highest living authority on archaeology and the Bible, is one of the rarest characters that has ever visited this hemisphere. Dr. Checkzill revealed the Abyssinian nation to us, seven million strong, the descendants of ancient Ethiopia, whose devotion to liberty is proverbial, as the mother country of the ancient Egyptians. The fact that the Abyssinians, whose records shine out from 10,000 B. C., are the oldest believers of the established Christian church and the only national group that has never lost its independence, together with his indorsement of our society and our journal, The Negro World, indicates what joy his message has brought to the New Negroes. Dr. Checkzill has filled engagement and is kept busy filling engagements with white churches and colleges throughout this country and Canada. Look Out for the Appearance Monthly "The Bl Edited by Marcus Garvey, Sir W and C Published by the African Comm He Will No Longer Be Satisfied as a Servile, Vassal or Cringing Slave Among the Family of Races and Nations To the average thoughtful Negro there seems to be no doubt whatever that the race has reached the turning point in their racial destiny. The question that lies uppermost in his mind today is what preparation and combination he is to make to guide himself to a successful and pleasing status in human society. Thinking Negroes and the best minds among the race have realised the wisdom of Marous Garvey in organizing the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League and have decided that this practical program is the only safe policy to adopt in order that the race may work out their progress and independence along the same lines that have proven successful for other races of men and nations and has kept them safe and secure through their organised governments, armies and navies, political institutions, industrial enterprises and such other activities common to modern governments and twentieth century civilization. For the past three hundred years in this Western world the Negro has sacrificed his life, blood and treasure enormously and immensely, and he has no desire to pass through future centuries doing this same thing, scattered here, there and everywhere and making such sacrifices for others than his own, dying and fighting for things that are of little importance to him as a race and mean very little to his welfare and security. The lesson the Negro has learned from the history of the past two hundred years is that he must be strictly "Negro" from now on, and thoughtful and discerning Negroes are going to heed that lesson, and any Negro or group of Negroes who does not heed that lesson and ignores and resents the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, does not represent or typify the real race conscious Negro of this lightened day. The great mass of Negro men and women that go to make up the four hundred million people of this race, and knowing the condition under which they have lived and died for the past three centuries, believe as Mr. Garvey and the Garveyes do. They all suffer the same indignities, they seek pleasure and avoid pain, they experience the same emotions and sensations. And they do not believe that Negroes should be lynched, mobbed, segregated, burned, jimcrowed and regarded as an inferior being. They do not believe that Negroes should be serfa, economic slaves, lackeys or the human football for the rest of the human family. The writer does not believe that you could find one Negro, be he pro or ant U. N. I. A., who would not willingly subscribe to the above paragraph in sentiment and thought, and the only difference between the Garveyite and those who think they are not lies in the fact that serve are active while others are passive, but they are all of the same mind regarding this Negro question, and we all believe that Negroes should and must establish their own government on the continent of the homeland, his own army and navy, his own political and educational institutions and industrial enterprises and control his government, as other races are doing, and become the ally and friend of any nation or nations that desire and deserve it, but not the slava, servant or vassal of any. No Emmity for the White Rass There is no malice in the U. N. I. A. viewpoint, and all Negroes who have control of their mental faculties and the virtue of manhood are psychologically in accord with the philosophy of the U. N. I. A. There is no emmity for the white race in the desire of the Negro to be master of his own destiny, since it is a decree that has been forced upon him partly by these same Negro statesmen present this more and more as they think of the two hundred and fifty years that Negroes served in this and other countries as slaves, building up the foundation of this great republic, under which their sons and daughters are oppressed. Yet, knowing this truth as all Negroes do, we have manifested no resentment on account of them. The fact that we do not receive the Give us a call or send for our price lists.

HAS CAUSED WORLD TO TURN TOWARD NEGRO AS THE COMING HOPE LIBERTY HALL, sunday Night. Aug. 27. 1923—Before another Sunday night has arrived, the Third International Convention of Negroes of the World will have passed into history. Realizing this, the legions of members of the New York Local of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and friends and sympathizers of the organization turned out tonight en masse, billing to overflowing the spacious auditorium of Liberty Hall, to show their loyalty and gratitude to the delegates and deputies who have come from distant parts of the country and the world to legislate and deliberate on the present and future plans of the race, and who in a few days will depart for their respective homes. It was a roaring meeting, and an unbounded enthusiasm was manifested which must undoubtedly give inspiration and encouragement to the leaders of the movement to press forward and blaze the path for the future destiny of the race, having the conviction that behind them lies the force and support of millions of people whose race consciousness has been awakened by the new manhood doctrines of Garveyism which find expression in the aims and purposes of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. The new administration was afforded the opportunity of publicly presenting itself to the people tonight and was accorded a welcome which indicated an entire satisfaction of the choice made by the convention. First came Sir Leroy Bundy, the newly elected First Assistant President General, who, by his sincerity of expression, portly demeanor and courteous and gentlemanly disposition, has won a place in the hearts of the people. He expressed his appreciation of the honor conferred upon him being elected to one of the highest offices in the gift of the Negro peoples of the world and pledged himself to faithful service in behalf of the race under the auspices of the U. N. I. A. The Hon. Rudolph Smith, who was elected to the office of Third Assistant President General and titular leader of the West Indies. Central and South America, also made his bow to the audience. He delivered an inspiring address, in the course of which he expressed his consciousness of the responsibility imposed on him and gave his assurance of loyalty and devotion to the cause and his promise to do all in his power to support the heads of the President General. Hon. Marcus Garvey rose amidst enthusiastic applause and returned thanks to the delegates for re-electing him as President General and Administrator of the association. "I am here tonight," he said, "to say not only to you but to the membership throughout the world, that the same enthusiasm, loyalty and devotion that I manifested and gave in the past, that much will I continue to give until we have successfully put over the program that we have been engineering for the last five years." Making reference to the delegation that was sent off to Europe this week by the convention for the purpose of laying before the assembly of the League of Nations the claims of the race, he laid emphasis on the significance of the mission or the delegation and added that these ambassadors of the Negro race would travel throughout the whole continent of Europe, speaking in Germany, France, Italy, Spain and England in the name of the Universal Negro Improvement Association to let the world know that the Negro is not satisfied to be always the insignificant nobody as we have been for hundreds of years, but that we are determined to give voice to our present feeling for liberty, freedom and democracy in its trust sense. With no evident desire to pay much more attention to the critics of the race who were attacking the organization, who, he said, were, and who he characterized as paid agents carrying out the behests of their bosses, Mr. Garvey scorned their futile efforts to destroy the movement, declaring that their propaganda had simply caused the N. U. L. A. to gain in power, strength and influence. "I want the enemy," he said, "to realise that they have knocked lip against the walls of Gibraltar. We have come to stay, and so long as God is God, and so long as He reigns in his heaven, the work of the Universal Negro Improvement Association shall go on forever." Another speaker was Hon. Mr. Jack- son, a delegate from Kansas City, who captivated the audience with an eloquent flow of oratory. As a fitting prelude to the speeches, a splendid musical program was rendered in which the choir, the Black Star Line Band and some solos participated. Mr. Garvey announced that Detroit, the city from which Hon. A. D Pettiford came, had gone over the top and subscribed $800 to the fund to meet the expenses of the delegates to the Peace Conference. Following are the speeches: M. R. CARVEY SPEECH The Ion. Marcus Garvey said. I have just a few words to say tonight, and that is to publicly thank the delegates and capitals of the Third Annual International Convention of the Negro People of the World for re-electing me as President-General and Administrator of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. I am here to say tonight, not only to you but to the membership throughout the world, that the same enthusiasm, loyalty and devotion that I manifested and gave in the past that much will I continue to give until we have successfully put over the program that we have been engineering for the last five years. Much to be Done Just at this time there is much to do in the name of the Universal Negro IV. provement Association. We have stirred up a world sentiment that needs a firm leadership to carry in the right direction. The Universal Negro Improvement Association has caused the whole world to turn toward the Negro as the coming hope. Everybody in Europe is talking about the Negro. Everybody in Europe is expecting something of the Negro—all caused through the work, the propaganda, the effort of the Universal Negro Improvement Association for the last five years. And by what we have done we have so arrested the attention of the world as to have caused that world to regard us in a serious light, to take us in a serious vein. The Task of the Delegation The Task of the Delegation We have this week and last week sent off on Europe, to Geneva Switzerland, our delegation for the purpose of laying before the assembly of the League of Nations, which will meet on the 6th of September and continue for about three or four weeks, the claims of this race of ours, the political claims of this race of ours. We have sent our delegation to place before them the fact that four hundred million Negroes desire the restoration of Africa. (Applause.) Three of the delegates are now at sea. On Tuesday night we will assemble in Liberty Hall here in large numbers to bid adieu to His Highness the Supreme Deputy, Hon. G. O. Marke, who is going as chairman of the delegation. This delegation, I feel sure, will reflect credit on this association as on the race. They will be going to Europe not only to present our claims before the assembly of the League of Nations, but they will be traveling throughout the whole continent, speaking in Germany, in France, in Italy, in Spain and in England in the name of the Universal Negro Improvement Association (Applause))—to let the world know that the Negro is not satisfied to be always the insignificant nobody as we have been taken for hundreds of years, but that we are determined to give a voice to our present feeling, and that feeling is for liberty, for freedom, for democracy in its trust sense. The Failure of the Enemy The Failure of the Enemy I have to thank you, members and delegates and deputies and friends, for the splendid enthusiasm you have shown throughout the entire month. Probably as deputies and delegates you will not be here for another Sunday night—although the way we are going it appears we will have to extend the convention for a few days longer, because we have so much to put through. But if we do not meet you next Sunday, we want to say to you that we are determined more than ever to put over the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and to hoist the flag, the Red, the Black and the Green in liberty, freedom and in true democracy. (Applause.) For the month you have been here you have been surrounded with propaganda of all kinds—propaganda from the paid enemy and propaganda from the enemy himself. But true to the colors of the U. N. L. A. you have not been soiled, you have not been touched by the propaganda. (Applause.) Those who have paid the enemies to carry on the fight have lost their money. (Laughter and applause.) And I want to say from the platform of Liberty Hall tonight, to the white socialist party, to all those so-called philanthropists and to Wall Street, who have been subsidizing these good-for-nothing Negro traitors, that you will have to spend in the billions, and even then you will not be able to touch even the hem of the garment of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. (Laughter and applause.) The five hundred dollars, the one thousand dollars, the two thousand dollars that you slip Negro traitors have been lost—all lost—and as you see us now so shall we always be. (Applause.) And why? Because we are seasoned to your propaganda. (Laughter.) We have been alongside of you for three hundred years and we have studied your methods, so we can beat you at your own game. (Applause.) We know that the enemy has been using propaganda to destroy us, but we are going to use propaganda with propaganda, and let it work. Before the close of the week we will bring out the biggest philanthropist you ever saw. "The daily Negro Times" (Applauded) as that every day we will be able to meet propaganda with propaganda. And the "Daily Negro Times" is only going to be one of a string of daily newspaper, that will stretch from Maine to California under the pages of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. It will only be one of newsmen that THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 1922 SO DECLARES HON. MARCUS GARVEY IN OPTIMISTIC ADDRESS—HUGE CROWDS ATTEND CLOSING SUNDAY NIGHT MEETING OF CONVENTION—MARK THEIR APPRECIATION OF SERVICE RENDERED BY DELEGATES AND DEPUTIES—UNBOUNDED ENTHUSIASM MANIFESTED AS SPEAKERS EXTOL THE ORGANIZATION AND ITS LEADER New Administration Is Introduced to the Public—Accorded a Rousing Welcome—The Choice of Convention Meets Approval of People—Loyalty and Devotion Pledged to Organization and Leadership INSPIRING SPEECHES DELIVERED BY HON. MARCUS GARVEY, HON. SIR LEROY BUNDY, HON. RUDOLPH SMITH AND HON. CHAS. JACKSON OF KANSAS CITY —MR. JACKSON, THE YOUNGEST DELEGATE TO CONVENTION, MAKES A PROFOUND IMPRESSION—A BRILLIANT SPEAKER WITH WONDERFUL FLOW OF ORATORY Delegates to Peace Conference at Sea and Garvey Emphasizes Significance of Their Mission—Will Present Desire of Negro for Restoration of Africa—Will Also Tour Europe Speaking in Interest of U. N. I. A. we are going to put in America, in the West India, in South and Central America and in Africa to carry the propaganda of the Universal Negro Improvement Association (Applause) I want the enemy to realize that they have knocked up against the rocks of Glibratar We have come to stay and so long as God is God and so long as He reigns in His high heaven the work of the Universal Negro Improvement Association shall go on for ever. (Applause) Bad Generalship So let me say to the enemies that you will have to go some more even to soil the hem of the garment of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. And what better time could we have had than during the Convention? The fellows don't know how to fight. They have not studied the science of propaganda in fighting organization. If they had studied the science of fighting organization they would not have started in the month of August when all these delegates are here to know and see them (Laughter). The senseless and crazy fellows have no better sense than to be inviting our delegates to hear them, and every delegate has summed them up, and I would not like to tell you their opinion of them. They did the worst thing possible to have made these delegates even see them and know them, and now they are carrying back the propaganda to the four corners of the world to tell them there things about these traitors. So Marcus Garvey will not have to tell it They themselves will. They will tell the world that it is a propaganda fostered and supported by the hereditary and ancient enemy of the Negro, and no sensible Negro will pay any attention to the ravings of these traitors whom one day we will deal with on the shores of Africa. They tell you they are not going back to Africa. Wait until the first, second or third ship calls; then you will probably find out a slowaway. (Laughter) Outcaste and traitors, and spurned by the other races they will in a short while be between the devil and the deep blue sea, because the white man plays you up just to suit his own purpose and when he is through he forgets he ever saw you. The idea of Negroes Accepting Money to fight Negroes who Negroes are fighting for liberty, for freedom, for democracy. Where can you go when the enemy turns you down? And one of these days he is going to turn you down flatly all of us will be turned down. But, thank God, we are preparing a place that when we are turned down by the other fellow we will have a home of our own. And, brother, when we get you there what you get you take. We have heard your talk—you have lost nothing in Africa; you are not going back to Africa. Don't let us find you there later on. (Laughter). When this great America shall have absolutely and truly become a white man's country, and when all men of all races shall have returned to their own vine and fig tree—God Himself promised that—what will become of you Negro traitors who say you have lost nothing in Africa? And even God tells with traitors. Don't believe God is so merciful and so good He does not deal with traitors. And we are just going to follow the example of our Blessed Master, of our Heavenly Father. You saw what He had Lucifer, did not you (Laughter). He hurried him to do. So, although we are in America today and you take advantage of that fact, let these very same people you try to please will turn you down, and there will be nobody to come back to but your own. But your own will not forget you. The trials and troubles you tried to heap upon your people while trying for liberty, for freedom will never be forgotten. Why, if a man do no good helping his people toward liberty, why go out of his way to do harm? If some want to go to Africa—that is our opinion, that is our desire—that should not offend you. If some of us want a government of our own that should not be an offense to you. Since you do not want to go, stay just where you are. Those of us who want to go want to do so simply because we have an opinion of our own and we know that if we remain here without doing something for ourselves we will get all we are looking for. That time is not far distant. Victory Not Far Off Victory Not Far Off So I want you all to realize the victory is not so far off as it appears. No one can tell when Africa will be free. We know it will be free, because God himself inspired the psalmist to write "Princess shall come out of Egypt Ethiopia shall stretch forth her hand unto God" Although we know a thousand years are like a day, we are here a long time, and that day may be tomorrow, that day may be a work from now, that day may be a month from now, a year from now, that day may be five years from now But we know God's prophecy will come true. And what do we see? We see the signs of the times—the nations in confusion. Europe in turmoil suspicion on every hand. Italy suspecting Germany. Germany suspecting France. England suspecting Germany and France and Italy and the great foundation being laid now for the greatest war of the ages. Who to tell that tomorrow as we rise to go to our daily avocation the papers will bring to us wars and rumors of wars, as it brought to us several years ago in 1914 the rumors of wars in Europe? No one can tell. Africa may be redeemed to Terror. Africa may be redeemed in a month, a year or ten years from now. It will do us no harm to prepare ourselves for that redemption. We are not working to start a war. We are working, we are keeping in readiness so that when the time comes we will be prepared. And let me tell you, brother, when the time comes, the time of world confusion, the Negro will then for the first time start out to Fight for Himself We fought for everybody else for the last five hundred years, fought nobly, fought loyally, fought splendidly. But now we are prepared that if in the future we must fight four hundred million of us shall fight for ourselves, four hundred million of us shall fight for the freedom of our country and for the emancipation of the race. I thank you. And as you go away during the week back to your respective homes carry the message of good will from Liberty Hall, tell the people of the burning fire of enthusiasm in Liberty Hall, tell them to hold the fort for we are coming. And the day, I say, is far distant when we shall come four hundred million strong (Loud applause.) SIR LEROY BUNDY SPEAKS Sir Leroy Bundy was given a great ovation when he rose to speak, and said I feel deeply and keenly the appreciation for past service to the race that the members of this great international convention have shown your humble servant in electing him to one of the highest offices in the gift of the Negro peoples of the world, placing upon his shoulders a very important and arduous duty, yet honoring him as few men are honored in this life. And after all, it makes me feel as if life is really worth while, and sacrifice, after all, brings its reward, and therefore it makes me feel that even though faith manifested by much sacrifice for the cause of this race of ours, that eventually if we but keep the faith, the reward will come. Convention Has Taught Many Things This great convention has taught us many things, and among the many things it has taught me if that there is power, there is strength in organization in unity of mind, in unity of thought and in unity of action. The program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association will and must be put over because this great movement is bringing into one solid body, in mind and in thought, the Negroes of the world. Love Ona Another There is only one thing—one essential that this race of ours needs, and this essential is that we must learn to love one another. We must learn that in the true sense and in the proper sense we are our brother's keeper. We must put aside all of the thoughts that are of self in order that we can grample with the problem of today. I say to you members of this great race of ours that the thing that has destroyed other races and nations is hate and enmity and if we would put the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association over we must learn that we must found the principles that we are enunciating to the world on a love that is so deep, and that love shall be the love of brother to brother and sister to sister. I have noticed in this convention a tendency to unite the forces of the race from every corner of the world. I have often felt until recently after the birth and development of this great movement that there was not very much in common between me and the Negroes of the other parts of the world; but this great organization and the spirit of it has taught me that. That what affects the Negro peoples in the United States of America, what affects the Negro peoples in South and Central America, and in the West Indies and Africa and in Asia and Australia affects the Negro peoples al over the world and affects me likewise, hence their problem is mine and if I would solve my problem it is saying that I must assist them in solving their problem. An Economic Problem An Economic Problem The problem at this time within the race is economic. The problem at this time is that we as a people must have a common purpose and must have a common aim, and must work to a common death, and by realizing and appreciating what it means to pull together this organization can grow strong enough not only to redeem Africa, but can grow strong enough to make this the most powerful race on the face of the earth. They tell us that other races are becoming decadent nations are totering and falling to pieces. If that is true, then I say to you, oh, men and women of Ethiopia, that now is the time for Ethiopia in all the sense of the expression to "stretch forth her hands," and not stretch forth her hands as beggars, not as sucklings, but in the might of manhood and womanhood, not asking anybody for anything, but taking that which rightfully belongs to them in the manner that manhood and womanhood can take it. (Applause.) Movement Causing Great Sensation Do you know that this movement is creating more sensation throughout the world than any other similar organization has for hundreds of years. If that is true, what does it mean? It means a little more courage, it means a little more faith, it means that the aim of this organization is not 50 or a hundred years off, but it is at hand, and that time when the great flag of this organization shall unfurl itself on the shores of Africa on the hills of Africa, on the domes and the capitals of our states across the seas is only yet a little white off and that time I hope will come before my body shall be lying mouldering in the dust. If it does not come I shall be disappointed, but I know that in God's divine wisdom and mercy He shall provide a place for me yonder where I can push back the curtains of glory and look down upon the achievements and accomplishments of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. I know the time is coming if not in my lifetime when your children and the children of the race can aspire, can long, can hope for the same thing that other children can long for and hope for and look forward to. And therefore it is up to us to provide the way for the children of our race and we cannot do it by littleness, we cannot do it byiggardiness, we must be all that we should be because the duty is individual as well as collective. There is an individual duty in this great program and problem that rests upon your shoulders individually just the same as it does upon the shoulders of the honored President General of this organization His Excellency the Hon. Garvey Garvey, just the same as it rests upon the shoulders of His Excellency Hon. Rudolph Smith, just the same as it rests upon the shoulders of the Supreme Deputy, Hon. G. O. Mark just the same as it rests upon shoulders, the duty and the obligations to the race rest upon your individual shoulders and each and all of us should realize that we have an individual duty, then and then only is the solution of this great problem coming. Other men in past history of other races and nations have sacrificed why is it that we cannot sacrifice for our own achievements* I am reminded at this time of that memorable speech that was made in the early days just before the birth of the American Republic by John Quinney Adams, a statesman and a gentleman before the Continental Congress in which he said in substance, sink or swim, live or die. I give my hand and my heart to this vote. It is true in the beginning we aimed not at independence, but there is a divinity that shapes our ends," and we of the Universal Negro Improvement Association must say individually as well as collectively tonight—ink or swim, live or By a new discovery we have eliminated the drudgery experienced in the studying of English. Our practical method of teaching English by correspondence enables one, in a short while, to become in reality a The Novel by the Negro Author Crowned with the Prix Goncourt 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 epochal 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."

Parcel Post MINOR & PATTERSON, Distributors 232 West 125th Street NEW YORK CITY die, survive or perish we give our hand and our hearts to the Universal Negro Improvement Association and the redemption of Africa. It is true now we never dreamed of our early Empire; it is true that we never dreamed of self-determination until His Excellency Hon. Marus Garvey came into the world and gave to us this program, but there is a divinity and God Almighty and Marus Garvey that shapes our end. Hence with that sort of spirit, with that sort of understanding, victory perches on yonder hilltop, and the time is not far distant when we shall claim that victory, the time is not far distant when all the things we have been hoping for in the past will come to us. I am tired, I am weary, of seeing brothers and sisters of my race lynched and murdered in the South land. I am tired of riding in Jim Crow care, I am tired of being segregated and Jim-crowed, and I am tired of being subjected to indignities when walking upon the public highways, but I cannot help myself in this country. I cannot force any issue in this country. I cannot force the proper recognition of my people here. And then if that is true what shall I do? I shall pick up my luggage and go back where? Home. You have often heard this homely statement "You are going to wear out your welcome and it is time to go home to a place that sightfully belongs to us, and the Negro who talks about his not losing anything in Africa is the Negro that is lost for all eternity, he does not belong to the race (Applause.) DR. MALONEY SPEAK8 Hon Rev Dr Maloney Acting Chap- plain General addressing the Honorable President General, High Officers Delega- gater, Deputies, Members and Friend, said * Prior to the year 1914 this race of ours was in a physically disabled con- dition, and on every hand we found a need that could not be met. We found a desire that was fundamental to the heart of the race, that, try as we may found itself unsatisfied. Men were turned hither and thither for some thing to settle this unrest in their breast and what they received was a rebuff here, a lynching there and a prosecution everywhere "Some of them went on their knees and prayed to the God of Heaven asking How long. Oh Lord, how long?" Some of them drafted petitions and sent those petitions to the ruling heads of the governments involved, but they found no solution of the problem that confronted them. Then the great war came on and out of the carnage of the war out of the clashing of swords, and booming of comm there arose gradually a coordination and this groping and longing on the part of our people which took the form of A Sweeping Onward Movement A Sweeping Unward Movement "It was then that out of the terrific pain of this tremendous war that our people had suffered, we had one- ness that was theirs. It was out of it that they came to realize the fact that they needed to get together in order that their selfdetermination, which came as the natural by-product Representatives and agents in every city and town to gather ads and data for sec. 101(c) of the Code of Business.

"It was in the midst of this crisis, it was right at this psychological moment, that the God of Heaven sent unto us. The Greatest Prophet "that this race has ever produced—the Hon. Marcus darvey—to assemble for us our longing, our hopes and our aspirations, to assemble for us our scattered thoughts and ideas, to assemble for us our cultural assets, our mental stirrings and aspirations, and the spiritual output of our race, and out of this came to us this great, this tremendously powerful organization, this organization that spreads its great wings over the entire race of our and called them together under the saga of the U N I A. "My brethren, do you know that it was this movement that first brought to this race a consciousness that was inherited by the other races long since the time of Aristotle? Aristotle declared on one occasion that politics was the science of government, and it was the concern of every human being, of every group on God's green earth. Our race seemed not to have realized that fact for thousands of years. But out of the U N I A, and The Doctrine Proclaimed by Hon Marcus Garvey this race of ours has come to realize that the science of government and politics is the necessary desideratum of our people and so we turned our attention to the development of a great empire, a kingdom second to none, wherein our sons shall be made real statesmen and our daughters the natural custodians of the moral life of our people. An Empire wherein our energies would be centralized and counted for the good of the race. We will stop not despite the crackings of our enemies we will not cease to struggle despite the opposition from them until Africa shall be redeemed and the Stars of Ethiopia shall shine in the fortament of heaven and the Red, the Black and Green shall float from the hill tops of our motherland, Africa. That is our ideal and my friends.

Jackson Speaks Hon. Charles Jackson, delegate from Kansas City, said. This occasion, which brings me before you at this time, is not a new one, for on various occasions I have had the distinguished honor of appearing before members of my race in the same capacity. While I appreciate such a distinction and I am very grateful to you for such an honor, I beg to assure you that I have no other motive in meeting you at this time than of honoring My God, My Country and the Race to which I belong. We have assembled here tonight for one of the grandest causes that God Almighty ever ordered or mankind ever participated in. We have our enemies and we have our friends. But black man Must Know Themaelvse before they will ever rise to the standard of our ancient inpatients, before they can occupy a place second to none in the world. It has been said that the proposition we have undertaken is too large. That is due to the face that you do not see. The ancient creatures of our ancestors. It is due to the fact that you do not know yourselves. Look if you please at the nations of the earth. Every nation is striving now to better the conditions of the present generations and the generations to come. What is the condition of the black man. Are you still waiting and depending upon other people to do for you that you should do for your self God from two to and two hundred and twenty nine years B C a black man settled in your motherland and on down the line he gave to the world a record that no man has ever accomplished in mind used the course of the river that that a black man can compile.

George Washington called me, and I came to him. I ran with the blood-bounds at my heels, my tears watered the land my labor worked the crops and Father Lincoln let me by. Let me inquire now what has my harvest been? Robbed on one side, mobbed and tortured on the other. I went across the deep blue sea to fight on the battlefields of France and Panders and Mesopotamia. Then I came back home and slapped my arms in the field of Peace and I waited on Almighty God to tear the HEART of MOBOCRAZY out of the people. But up until this time He has failed to do. Petitions have not helped me. Prayers have helped me.

I may however say that I am a strong man, good at what he enforced. Third Assay. Free to entertain and also the leader of the West Indies General and South America (Arizona). I do well realize the position in which I am, and I know I can task a more moral man than in the past. Howeve, I am aware that the Creator of Man, I am the mind and heart of each and every one of us, it is incumbent upon us to depend on Him while energetically strive to do all in my power to Relieve Humanity This race having suffered it is necessary for me to find out a defense to help this matchless leader in the person of Hon Marcus Garvey to carry out our programme irrespective of the obstacle that may have been placed before him. Having known me my friends, in the past I feel sure you will have no doubt about me in the future. Since I have been elected I may say that something very peculiar occurred to me. No longer than last night I had a dream or vision of the future and I want to tell you, whether you realise it or not that. The Greatest Success is before you. I saw the car driving in a brilliant array of light and I saw Hon Marque Garvey staring before you carrying you on to success. I want to say whenever you have a dream like this it is the best dream in the world. No matter what people say or what people do this gentleman is God-sent and has been picked out by Almighty God to relieve this suffering race of ours. But there is one thing I want to ask you and it is to know yourselves. If you know yourselves as you ought to be, in everything in the world that stands before you, everything that seeks to impede your progress, will fall by the waylaid and you will march through against the storms that come before you. You will weather all the difficulties as soon as they appear before you. Let me tell you, friends, I feel a new man today. I feel through this change that has taken place that this is a new birth of the Universal Marque FOR DISLOYALTY (Continued from page 6) executive Secretary to the Cleveland Division. Q.

If you think on watch us from now on. I have been able to fight in the past, and I am going to take off my coat, roll up my shirt sleeves and let everybody know in the world that I, Rudolph Smith, know myself. You must stop Pointing Out the Defects of others, and point out the defects of yourselves and if you look over yourselves well and understand your past mistakes, then you will find a certain vision before you telling you what to do and when you see some one following in the wrong direction you will go forth and help him out. But when you go criticize and can offer no solution of the problem you ought to be dead, buried and forgotten. (Applause) All through life. Now that I have been elected Third Assistant President General and Tittular Leader of the West Indies I am ready at the command of Hon Marrus Garvey to meet our wife and debate with any of them on international and racial problems. Lost night, white on the public throughout walking along with someone a man came up to me without invitation and placed a card into my hand. When I looked at it, the first thing I saw right at the top was I said yes. Hon. Marcus Garvey must go to Africa, and the man felt like the foot he has been. But let me tell you something. This movement is not affecting the United States of America; this movement is not turning hatred against the white race, this movement is not attempting to insult the United States Constitution. No, this movement feels that as we cannot be restful in the United States, as we cannot secure the privileges to which we are entitled in this great country, as the whites coming from the different countries of Europe, can come here and live in the best hotels, eat and drink the best and can be protected, while the Negroes who come here are probably insulted because of the color of their skin, and those who are born here have no proper representation; we say to the American Government, the British and the French Government and the other governments of this world. The Negroes Are Tired Because of the public sentiment being so much against us and we are going back home. And when we get back home, we are going to make it possible to establish a government, and when we establish that government we are going to plant the Red, the Black, and the Green, and after we have planted our Bag we will extend the right hand of fellowship to Uncle Sam, France and England and others, and send them our Ambassador, so that any time one of our people is insulted or assaulted we will inform our Ambassador to speak to that nation, because 400,000,000 stand ready to protect the rights of one Negro, insulted or assaulted.

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

It was thought that more surprises would be aprung by dtsaffect- ed persons and, therefore, every one was watchfully waiting. The meeting opened in the ousto- mary manner with the Hon Preaident- General and Acting Speaker of the convention in the chair ‘The minutes of the meeting were unusually lengthy. and, after formal amendments, were adopted ‘The President-General Explains The President Coneral said he de- sired to make @ statement which was of vital Importance to the delegates. At the Inst session the question had been raised and settled by @ majority vote, that no one, not financial mem- ber, and not an active member of the UN. -T A. could bring © charge against an execttive officer or another financial member there There seemed to be a great deal of misunderstanding on the matter, and there was still « minority of delegates who did not see the reasonableness of the vote of the majority ‘They were sitting in con- vention, which was supposed to be the supreme body of the TN I. A. and whatsoever they did there auto- matically became law, or custom, or precedent. If they were to decide that a per- ton not a financial member nor an active member of the association could bring charges, It would mean that in all the divisions all over the world. any person, not a financial member of the association, or a member who, for his own reasons, becomes unfinancial, could step into the meetings and lay the moat serious and damaging charges against any officer or the member, die- rupting tho whole association If the person was actuated by malice, or & desire to injure the individual or as sociation. He wanted them to under- stand that they were altting es o sovereign body, and that whatsoever they decided tm that respect would have to be followed by the branches or ivisions It was for those reasons ‘hat he had raised objection, but he was Very Desirous of Standing Those Charues if they are brought by a competent person, a member of tho association, in good faith Ho trusted that they had the matter -learly in thelr minds, nnd that they would consider the mat- (er accordingly. Hon Attorney Pettiford, who had presided at the previous night's pro- ceedings. In reference to the charges, said he had decided that the assool- ation having adopted the charges brought In, it was the assoelation’s cane, and any person they may have called as a witness was the associ ation’s witness, an4 also that the case was not being prosecuted by the wit- ness, He did not pass on the question as to whether the person was fhanciat or not. Attorney Stewart, of Washington, Aisagreed with the view held by Attor- ney Pettiford as to the law, Hon, Gadsby (Panama) submitted that if the person who laid the charges was ineligible and not Mt to present the sbarges be was also unfit to be tried, cere tee oes i a was trted. 'Toe chairman explained that at the time of his trial it had not come out that the person was unfinanclal They bad previously had his assurance that be was financial, eee ee cares ‘on the matter and some motions and amendments were made by way of res ulating the future procedure in dealing with delegates and thelr standing 1 the UN. L A It waa, however, de- elded that they would be dsaling pre maturely with the eubject of amending the constitution. The Delegation to Go Abroad Hon. 8 A. Haynes, of Newport News, called attention to the fact that among the persona who had been appointed by the President-General to form part of the delegation to the League of Na- tions was Counsellor Norris, and be asked, in view of that gentleman's gen- eral conduct and dameancr, and also In view of his criticiam of the preamble to the constitution, whether the pres! dent atill intended to allow bim to go with the delegation. Atter some further Glscussion the president announced that he was using his Judgment on the matter, The Minister of Legions Under Fire Hon, RG Brown, of Cleveland, Obie. asked permusion of the chair to ask the Minister of Legions what was hie position in making the remark that moruing vuteide of the cunvention tha: “that bunch from Cleveland waa down here putting devilment in the prest dents head.” ‘The Hon. Minister of Legions, in re- ply. said he had been asked the ques. ton, and he had replied, belleving the person who spoke to him was a gentle man, but as he bad bean asked his post Uon, he said it, and would say It again that there were men from Cleveland who were here damaging the mind of the Prealdent-General. ‘The President-General, tn reference to the above remarks, stated that there was no one tp the world, neither mother, tather, wife or friend, why could put any devilment in his head. Wasting the Time of the Convention The Preaident-General called atten- ton to the tact that qlready twenty. four days had gone and they bad not yet touched one-tenth of the businesr on the agenda for the convention, anil they had gone through neither tho.- legislation nor their constructive pro gram. He asked them to try and expe. dite the business and not to waste tim: on unnecessary matters, A Vote of Confidence Further discussion arose as to the proper disposition of the chargc~ brought against the President-Genera! and several motiona were submitted ot the matter Hon. Commissioner Anderson, 9. Loutsiana, moved that “In view of the fact that (iis body voted last night has the person who brought the charges against the Preaident-General and Ad- ministrator was incompetent to dos we rescind the adoption of the chargen brought by J. W. H. Eason against the President-General and Adminintrate and that the whole case be stricken from the records. This was carried 114 voting for and 4 againat. ‘Hon. H. V Plummer moved “that in view of the action of the convention the Proaident-General be authorized to make such statements as may be neces- aren ae THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 1922 Siempre he tenido afán y decidida consagración al estudio de los problemas sociales, especialmente a los que afectan la vida de relación entre la raza blanca y la raza negra. Prueba de este aserto es mi ultimo libro, intitulado "La Cuestion de Color en las dos Americas". Por tal motivo, una invitación para hablar acerce de la vida que el hombre negro lleva en mi patria, en Cuba, en conexión con el blanco no podía ser desdefaida, sino tomada en consideración y si se quiere.con motivos al gratuit. Por ese eatoy aqui, compartiendo la dificulta labor que al muy honorable Marcus Garvey ha emprendedo para mejorarimiento del Negro. La Raza en General Ha De Llegar a la Conclusión de un Convenio Mútuo—La Actual Convención Realiza Trabajos de Gran Trascendencia—De Su Seno Ha de Surgir la Nueva Administración de Nuestra Organización, la Cual Consistirá de Hombres de Caracter y Reputación Indiscutibles Nos place manifestar que nuestra tercera Convención Internacional de los Pueblos Negros del Universo está demostrando el éxito apetecido. Durante las tres semanas de sesiones hemos podido someter a discusión algunos de los puntos de mayor interes vital que afectan directamente a nuestra raza. En todos los debates, los honorables delegados y diputados han dado señales de alto grado de cultura e inteligencia, en el manejo de los distintos asuntos expuestos para su sanción. Mas entrando a tratar el tema objeto de mi conferencia direc- Existe un problema racial en los paises de hispano-america y singularmente en Cuba, que es el pals a que voy a referirme en esta ocasion. Tienen los negros cubanos el fantasma de la discriminación por los blancos en su suelo? Si existe, ¿es en igualdad de circulcntancias al problema planteado en los Estados Unidos de Norte America? Yo voy a contesta el cuestaario que antecede: Si existe en todo hispano-américa, especialmente en Cuba y en las republicas donde la influencia política, económica ó industrial de los Estados Unidos pondera, un problema racial latente, sintiéndose en estos tiempos mas intensamente, como consecuencia del secular prejuicio norte americano contra la raga negra. Ahora bien; el problema en esencia es el mismo, ofrece caracteres distintos, de alhi que la medicina buena para combatir el mal en los Estados de la Union Norte Americana, sea inadecuada para curarlo en Cuba por ejemplo. De esta diferenciación surje la idea en ocasiones de que en hispano-américa no hay problemas raciales. Afirmo que existe; pero que es necesario, al igual que en los terrenos mineros, raspar la capa de tierra vegetal para sacar de sus entrasfa luego el preciado metal denunciado Una veces este prejuicio es tan sutilmente disimulado, como una alfombra tendida en la boca de un abismo, para que alguien al pisarla perezca, en el e y otras veces, como en el año 1910, en la República de Cuba es tan pronunciado, que parece'imposible que sentimientos tan malsanos puedan ser albergados por corazones humanos, para otros humanos. Dentro de breves dias la Convención levantará sus sesiones y sus representantes se diseminarán por los cuatro puntos del globo para esparcir en terreno fértil la semilla, producto de sus ideas avanzadas, la cual ha de arraigarse y fructificar la redención y progreso de una raza avejada por centenares de años sin causa justifiable. Hemos dado, durante las sesiones de esta gran asamblea, un esplendido ejemplo práctico de experiencia legislativa y abrigamos la esperanza de que dentro de pocos años mas nuestra Convención no se vea limitada a reunirse por el corto periodo de un mes, sino que miembros ya del gran Congreso africano, podremos legislar por meses y meses en bien de la nueva comunidad africana y de los intereses generales de la raza. Mucho tenemos aun que realizar. Nuestra organizacion ha despertado un interes general con sus sanas doctrinas y hemos de continuar esta agitacion hasta haber declarado completamente la emancipacion de los cuatrocientos millones de miembros de nuestra raza en el universo. Los que amamos y con honor recordamos nuestros antecesores, hemos de continuar nuestra lucha hasta coronar nuestros esfuerzos con el glorioso arboreal de la victoria. Voy a hacer un bosquejo de la situación del negro cubano y a poner de manifiesto le personalidad del hombre blanco de mi país. Para esta labor solo es necesario revisar notas originarias que integran en parte el Libro "The Color Question in the Two Americas" que acaba de publicar en inglés en la cudad de Nueva York. La evolución política del gran continente africano estará para algunos muy distante; para otros será imposible, pero para todo elemento inteligente a quien su raza le merece la debida consideración y respeto y se dedica al estudio científico de la política, está compenetrado que será cuestión de un corto período de tiempo, cuando, el Africa ocupe su puesto en el concierto de las naciones y desarrollle su propia civilización, tan importante como cualquiera de las hasta hoy establecidas. Un Partido Politico Que Va a la Revolución Terminada la guerra de Independencia y obtenida esta con el esfuerzo común de todos los cubanos, sin distinción de razas, pues unos y otros cumplieron con su deber en el campo de batalla, los negros cubanos se apreunaron para disfrutar de los beneficios que a título de fieles servidores, la Republica podia de receres. Sin embargo tropezaron con una muralla tan infraqueable como la histórica de la ciudad de China; a estos solo se admitia en las esferas bugernamentales, en puestos de inferior categoria. Los puestos de gerarquia superior an尔 occupados por los blancos y aun en los inferiores, como los puestos de政利亚 en el ejército, no eran admitidos para simples plazas de detectives o soldados, hombres, de piel negra. Para los negros los puestos de la administración estaban clausurados. El momento llegará para que aquellos que actualmente critican la cuna de sus antepasados, la madre patria, se vean arrepentidos de sus debilidades y traten de adquirir en ella un hogar democrático que le proporcione la debida protección. A estos decendientes de Etiopia, arrepentidos va de sus actos, su madre patria perdonará, cuando ella despierte de su letargo a sus nuevos días de gloria. Nuestra ambición es la unión sólida de los cuatrocientos millones de hombres mujeres y niños de nuestra raza; nuestra ambición es el ver la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra convertirse en un poder tal que pueda interpretar el sentimiento de los pueblos Negros del universo; nuestra ambición es la realización práctica de nuestro programa por una emancipación universal de la raza y un Africa redimida. Es cierto que hubo per entonces en la Cámara de Representantes un reducido número de congresistas de color; pero la nominación de tales elementos obedeció al gran clamor de protesta producido por el decontende la raza negra. Asl las costas, desenvolvíndose la vida pública del negro cubiano entre obstrucciones y prejuicios, surgió la figura del General Evaristo Estenoz, hombre sino de preclara inteligencia, si batallador, activo, civico e infatigable Este emprendió la ardura tarea de asociar la los negros en forma política. Su campaifa inicial, no prodevista en ocasiones de violencia en el lenguage, fue un toque de alarma a la conciencia de los blancos. Estos se dieron la voz de elerta y aparentando no prestar importancia a la labor cada vez más eficiente y a la campaifa cada vez más intensa del caudillo Negro, apreparatarse a defenderse de un imaginario ataque; imaginario, porque es necesario advertir, a depecho de historiadores pasionistas, que la campaifa del General Estenoz no fue una campaifa violenta contra la vida de la población blanca. Fue sólo una campaifa política encauzada y constituta por elementos de una raza que buscaban más progresiva orientaciones en la vida pública de su pala, más respeto y consideración, de acuerdo datos ultimos con los derechos que habían conquistado al sacrificar generaciones, al igual que el blanco, por la independencia del pala. Del seno de la actual Convención Internacional de los Pueblos Negros del Universo ha de surgir la nueva administración de nuestra organización. El nuevo gabinete directivo ha de constar de hombres de responsabilidad, caracter y reputación indiscutibles; hombre que homenen la posición que el sentimiento de nuestra raza, representado por los diputados y delegados a la Convención les haya conferido. Los millones de miembros de nuestra organización en el universo entero demandan un cambio en el cuerpo ejecutivo. El pueblo persigue una nueva confianza y la verdadera adquisición de ésta depende del buen tacto y sentido cumún manifestado ya por los diputados y delegados, en quienes descansa tan importante responsabilidad, la elección del nuevo cuerpo directivo de nuestra organización. Por este medio hemos de obtener una dirección que refleje puramente el mas alto grado de cultura y de toda otra condición requerida por el caso. Nos corresponde educar a nuestro pueblo en el sentido de responsabilidad, de manera que cuando enviemos nuestros representantes a los campos de propaganda, estos sean competentemente seleccionados por la sabia disposición del nuevo cuerpo directivo. Estudiados planes agresivos pasa el futuro, el gobierno de aquila República, cuyo ejecución lo representa entonce el también General del Ejército Libertador Sr. Jose Miguel Gúmez, aparente prestata un apoyo moral a las demandas que el partido de Estos enasos demandas que se concretan al redomocimiento de igualdad de derechos, ya no en la forma en que la Constitución cubana lo establece para todos los cubanos, sino también en los procedimientos, en los hechos, en la práctica. Este aparente ojo gubernamental, dílo mayor fuerza, mayor vigor y prestigio al movimiento político de la raza de color cubana. Esta llega o visumbrar en lontananza la consecución de sus ideales; creyó que la hora de su nivelación con el blanco habia llegado. Sueño hermoso, roto mas tarde en un dia del mes de Abril del año 1910. Bajo los cargos de conspiración para la República, formulados por el gobierno, los directorales del Partido Politico Independiente constituyó por Estenos, fulmos en carcelados y confinados durante varios meses en las carceles de la República. Como que en realidad, a virtud de las investigaciones practicadas por aquella época, no se descubrió nada que determinar una conspiración contra la seguridad del Estado, ni la estabilidad del gobierno, los tribunales de justicia de la República dictaron meses después autos de terminación en el proceso, sobreseyendolo provisionalmente y ordenando la libertad de los que permaneciamos en prison. El Pueblo Dominicano es el Único Que Puede Delegar Atribuciones a Su Gobierno, Declara el Dr. Américo Lugo Se ha adoptado ya, según noticias, un plano entre el goberno de Washington y algunos de los dirigentes dominicanos para la evacuación de las fuerzas militares de aquella república. El Dr. Américo Lugo, quien difiere del proyecto, ha expuesto sus razones por las cuales no debiera prevalecer la adopción de tales propósitos. El señor Welles ha salido para Santo Domingo como representante del presidente Harding para estudiar los sentimientos del pueblo sobre los planes para la constitución del nuevo gobierno. Este será formado por representantes del pueblo, quienes nombrarán un presidente provisional. Los miembros del poder ejecutivo no podrán ser nombrados sino después de aprobaras las ordenes por el congreso nacional americano. El Dr. Lugo alega que el gobierno militar delega sus poderes al nuevo gobierno de representativos, implicando el reconocimiento de un poder electoral, contrario a los derechos del pueblo dominicano. A continuación reproduciimos uno de sus párrafos en los cuales basa los principios en su protesta: "Ya que por segunda vez viene a mis labios este nombre augusto, España, no olvide Sumner Welles que somos mucho mas espaifoles que Nicaragua, Cuba y Panamá, porque Santo Domingoue la Sevilla y el Cádiz de la metropolis en América, habiéndose contratado aquil el descubrimiento y la colonización del nuevo mundo. Asi lo compruenbane nuestros monumentos públicos, libro de piedra en el cual el alto comisionado americano debe leer nuestro origen, nuestra historia y nuestro porvenir. Dé cuenta al presidente que le envia, que aqui no todos estamos rendidos ante el imperialismo americano y su injuimiento poderlo; que aqui existen numerosas asociaciones patríoticas con un credo nacional, sobre las cuales debe leer; que el nacionalismo es la mayoría del pueblo y que su formula de reintegración, la desocupación pura y simple, ha sido compartida por la inmensa mayoría de los intelectuales dominicanos, con ocasion de una encuesta organizada por el 'Listin Diaro', encuesta que también le convendra leer; y que finalmente, como nacionales, como pueblo y como leales hijos de espaifoles recordamos muy bien que, cuando al caer al suelo la corona real en Bayona, la junta de gobierno de Madrid, acobardada ante Napoleón, ordené al pueblo espaifol la obedicencia a Mara, el pueblo espaifol no obedeció." Comisión de Masones Cubanos Rinde Homenaje Al Patriota, General Calixto Garcia Ifigues Durante el descubrimiento de la lapida de marmol y bronce en memoria del general Callisto García Iliquegue, que murió en la ciudad de Washington el 11 de diciembre de 1898, mientras estaba en misión especial del ejercito cubano de liberación, el señor Felix Preval, gran secretario de la gran logia de masones de Cuba, declaró que el general García divíto de faro de liberad. Fué quien suplicarca a su pala. Desde los vincimientos años hasta los sesenta y siete en que muríó, consagró su vida por completo o obtener la libertad para su patria. Después se describe la vida y EASON EXPELLED FOR DISLOYALTY (continued from page 167 sary to remove whatever cloud or doub that might arise in the minds of the delateges." This was seconded. Hon. Brian Johnson, of New York, moved as a substitute motion, "that this house extend to the president a vote of confidence." This was seconded and, on being put to vote, resulted in 160 voting for and 3 against. The Secretary-General, who had temporarily taken the chair in order to put the vote, announced the deci- sion and presented the vote of con- fidence to the President-General. The President General acknowledged the vote of confidence with thanks. He then asked leave to produce certain testimony for the purpose of clarifying any misconception or disbusing their minds in reference to statements that had been made in the house within the previous twenty-four hours. He referred to the charges made against him and related that he had first met Dr. Eason, who had alleged that he had sixteen years' business experience, in charge of a little church in Philadelphia of about thirty members. That gentleman was not earning more than $18 or $20 per week, had been a member of the association and had rented his church to the local division. The speaker became interested in him and offered him a position as Acting Chapman General and field worker at $85 per week. That gentleman afterwards attempted to sell the church to the U. N. L. A., although he had no right to sell it, and as a result of that, the association had lost a considerable amount of money. For the last five months that gentleman, who had boasted of his ability to collect money, had only succeeding in raising $1,800 from the members of the association, and of that sum he turned in to the association only $99.85, and by way of a statement, and not cash, as he stated that he had appropriated the amount towards his salary. The speaker offered to call evidence in support of his statements. With regard to the statements that the President General had charge of the funds of the association and that checks were issued on the order and signature of the President General only, the latter denied that such was the case, and called several witnesses to prove that in no case was that a fact, there being several signatures required in respect to the various funds. He characterised such charges as malicious, false and wicked, and then minutely detailed the business routine in regard to the issuing of checks. In regard to the allegation that over $88,000 was raised for the Librarian loan, that only $4,000 was sent to Liberia, and that the balance was otherwise used for paying salaries, the President stated that the U. N. L. A. at no time raised a Liberian construction loan. It was a construction loan of the U. N. L. A. for use in furtherance of the industrial 'commercial' and agricultural purposes of the association in its construction plans in America and Africa. Part of the money was used in America and part in Liberia and paid for the good and welfare of the association. The gentleman had also stated that he had $10,000 in Chicago. At no time had he raised $10,000 anywhere. That statement had only been made for the purpose of creating sentiment which was to be used by the enemies of the association, and the speaker was prepared to bring evidence to disprove that statement. In regard to the allegations that the President-General is the only person who disposes of the funds of the association, the speaker produced evidence to refute that charge and again explained the routine of the office. The Alliance with the K. K. K. Finally, in regard to the allegation that the Ku Klux Klan, the President-General produced in evidence his secretary, who had been a party to the interview which had taken place at Atlanta, Georgia, between himself and the Acting Imperial Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan, and who had taken notes of the interview as secretary. Alleged Preference for West Indians In regard to the accession that he had sent out West Indians as executive secretaries in different parts of the country, the speaker denied that he any time had done that, nor would he be able to do that. Those men had passed the civil amination conducted by the association, and had been appointed as vacancies occurred. He called witnesses who conducted the examinations to prove that at no time were they made aware as to the nationality of the candidates and as a matter of fast obra del general Garcia, el señor Preval dojo: Dejo al cuidado del pueblo de Washington y más especialmente de nuestros hermanos masones este memorial para demostrar al mundo que siempre amamos nuestros honrosos heroes muertos y la bandera que simboliza la libertad de drei muestras.

Defence of the Cleveland Division Deputies Williams and Bundy, members of the Cleveland, Ohio, delegation, made very effective defense of their division in reply to the charge of the Hon. Minister of Legiona. Expecially Deputy Bundy, who related the present state of the Cleveland Division and the efforts he had made in the interests of the division, the U. N. I. A. and the President-General highly recommended the work of Deputy Bundy in connection with the Cleveland Division, of which he is the president. At this stage the session was adjourned till the afternoon. DR. EASON EXPELLED APTERNOON SESSION, AUGUST 24, 1922 The convention at the afternoon session, before entering on the regular business, took cognizance of the hostile attitude of J. W. H. Eason, who was impeached on the previous day from the office of American Leader, after being found guilty on charges of disloyalty and conduct unbecoming an officer of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and voted by a majority of 101 to 17 to expel him from membership in any branch or division of the association for ninety-nine years. The few delegates who opposed the motion did not do so out of favor for Mr. Eason but felt that it would be an inhumanitarian act to exclude him from membership if he desired to continue. To enable the convention to proceed with the agenda business, a motion was passed that a committee be appointed to receive any further complaints against officers which might be pending and if necessary bring them before the convention. Acting on the recommendation of the President-General in his annual report that the entire Executive Council be requested to resign, a motion was made and carried to the effect that the members of the Executive Council who had not yet resigned be allowed ten minutes in which to tender their resignation. In pursuance of this motion the remaining members of the Executive Council, the acceptance of the Minister of Legions, Capt. E. Gaines, tendered their resignations and on a subsequent motion made and passed, all the scans in the Executive Council which were not resigned were declared vacant to take effect from the 31st day of August of the present year. The balance of the session was devoted to discussion relative to amending the constitution with a view of carrying out the recommendations of the President-General. Section 18 of Article 5, relating to the President-General and Administrator, was amended to provide that that officer be elected. The session adjourned at 5 o'clock to meet again at sight-thirty the same THURSDAY EVENING SESSION Revising the Constitution The Convention re-assembled in the evening, Hon. Marcus Garvey in the chair. Sutore the agenda was proceeded with, there were the usual preliminaries by the auxiliaries of the New York Local, followed by a musical local number and a short address by Hon. Rudolph Smith. The gallery was packed, the large number of persons who attend the night sessions having been somewhat increased by the exciting events of the preceding days. The minutes of the previous session were read by the Hon. J. H. Yewwood. First Assistant Secretary-General, were adopted with minor corrections. Nearly the whole period of the session—two hours and a half—was taken up with two resolutions of far-reaching importance, introduced by Elsie Larry Bundy, of Cleveland, Ohio. These resolutions dealt with a revision of the constitution of the U. N. L. A. as far as related to executive officers. One resolution contained a revised list of executive officers and the other sought to make all offices apposite except those of Potentata, Supreme Deputy, Provisional President of Africa, President-General and Administrator, First Assistant President-General, Second Assistant President-General, Third Assistant President-General and Fourth Assistant President-General. Both resolutions were adopted with substantial majorities. The result of the discussion of these measures constituted the best vote of confidence the President-General could receive. In his report he had recommended that he be given the power to select the members of his cabinet. The first resolution, which contained an amendment to Section 1, Article 4, page 4, of the Constitution (outlining executive offices) was as follows: "Be it resolved: That section 1, article 4, page 4, be amended to read as follows: "The rulers of the U. M. F. A. and A. C. L. shall be a Potentate and Supreme Deputy, a President-General and Administrator, 1st Asst. President-General, 1st Asst. President-General, 2nd Asst. President-General, 4th Asst. President-General, Secretary-General, 1st Asst. Secretary-General, 2nd Asst. Secretary-General, High Chancellor, Council, General, Counsel General, Addition General, High Commissioner General, Chapel General International Organization, Ministry of Education, Supreme General Minister of Legion, and Minister of Industry, all of which shall hold the High Executive Council of the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Education. of the most important and important part of the work of the Commission was to consult with the members of the Commission and with the members of the Commission to consider the Commission's position in the Commission and to make recommendations to the Commission. mechanics be made to empower the machine with uniformity. If the change is made in the machine, a great show would be given to an enemy from without and from within. H. M. L. Jackson (Indianapolis second). After a few injuries from the floor were answered by the chair and by the mover of the resolution, the vote was taken, only two votes being ordered against the resolution. The chair then declared the same situation amended accordingly. Elective and Appointive Office The following resolution, hanging on the previous one, was then submitted: "That there may be higher efficiency in the ruling and directing of the U. M. L. A. and A. C. L. "So It Received, That the offices of Provisional President of Africa, President-General and Administrator, First Assistant President-General, Second Assistant President General, who shall also be, the titular Leader of the American Negroes; Third Assistant President-General, who shall also be the titular Leader of the Negroes of the West Indies; Fourth Assistant President-General, who shall be a Lady and represent the interest of the women of the race, be elective and the term of office shall be for four years, providing their conduct conforms to the best interests of the U. N. L. A. and A. G. L. "All other educes forming the High Executive Council shall be appointed by the President-General and confirmed by the Convention, except the Potentate and the Supreme Deputy and such appointment shall be for the same period as that of the administration, providing their conduct conforms to the best interests of the Association and they have proven their competency to the satisfaction of the administration. "Be It Further Resolved, That everything in the Constitution contradictory to or in conflict with the above resolutions — and are hereby rescued and declared null and void." The motion was duly accepted. An Amendment After some discussion, during which the Chair and the move of the resolution answered several queries, Hon. G. A. Weston (Pittsburgh) moved the following amendment: That the four officers to be elected be the President-General, the First Assistant President-General, the Secretary-General and the High Commissioner and also that there be no American or West Indian Leaders appointed or elected. Hon. T. C. Glashen seconded. Another Amendments. Hon. H. W. Kirk (Chicago) moved a further amendment as follows: That this Convention elect the President-General, First Assistant President-General, Secretary-General, and High Chancellor; also a Cabinet of 35 business men who will be a Board of Directors and supervise the financial work of the organization. Hon. D. Peterson (Chicago) seconded. The Voting. This amendment and the previous one were put to the vote and last. The voting on the former amendment was fairly even. The original motion by Mr. Larry Bundy was then put to the vote and carried with a two-thirds majority vote. The meeting was then adjourned until 11:30 a.m. TOMMY'S HARDEN Friday Morning Speech, August 29. This morning the convention took the topic of "Discussing the Future Religious Faith and Belief of the Negro." The session was opened at the regular hour by Hon. G. Bennie Carter, assistant to the President-General, who took charge of the preliminaries and afterward calculated that the President-General was otherwise engaged and would therefore be absent from the morning session. After a brief discussion, Mr. Carter was designated to act as speaker by Convention until such time as the President-General should return. The minutes of the previous session were read and adjourned. The order of the day was the revision of the constitution, but in view of the absence of the President-general and other important officials, it was desirable that an many delegates as possible be appointed in this discussion.
