SUCCESS OF A GREAT CONVENTION VOL. XIII. No. 4 FELLOW MEN OF THE NEGRO RACE, Greeting: Our great convention has risen. We have returned to our respective homes to once more take up the glorious work of promulgating the cause of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. As Delegates and Deputies we have received an inspiration from this Third Annual International Convention that shall linger with us for many a year. The Expulsion of Disloyalists Our thirty-one days and nights of conduct in New York will make us better men and women in understanding human nature, as well as the cause we represent. We were not all of one opinion in the many things discussed, but as rational human beings we were able to arrive at decisions not for the personal satisfaction of each, but for the general good of all concerned. As Negroes we have learned to sink our personal feelings to give way to the greater good of the majority. During our sitting we were forced, because of our greater love for the entire Negro race and for the Universal Negro Improvement Association, to expel from among us disloyal characters who have tried to undermine the influence of our great cause. The expulsion of such individuals may be surprising to those who are not well acquainted with the characters of the individuals, but suffice it to say that it shall be our duty at all times to expel unworthy individuals from among us. We cannot tell who will be the next traitor, but traitors we will always have. On the Lookout A movement as big and as spreading and as useful as the Universal Negro Improvement Association will naturally hold within its ranks until discovered men in the pay of the enemy whose purpose it will be to sell us out to those who would destroy the movement because of its enlightening influence upon the scattered millions of Negroes throughout the world. If one, two, three, four, five or ten thousand dollars can be obtained there are some Negroes who will sell out any organization or the entire race for such a sum. It is not a hidden secret that in the past and now men have been paid and are being paid large sums of money to disrupt the Universal Negro Improvement Association. For that purpose, therefore, as we discover the traitors who attempt to sell us out we expel NEW YORK, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 1922 F A GREAT C GREAT FUTURE FOR POWERFUL ORGANIZATION DEPUTIES AND DELEGATES LEARNED MUCH DURING GATHERING OF CONCLAVE ALL NEGROES CALLED UPON TO WORK IN INTEREST OF GREAT CAUSE them from our midst, so that they will be unable to do the harm for which they have been paid. Therefore, our members should not wonder when certain men change in their professions toward the Universal Negro Improvement Association and the Negro race. The answer is that they have been bought out. Nationa have their own method of dealing with traitors, and an organization all that we can do at the present time is to expel them. We have expelled such from our midst already and may yet have cause to expel more, as we discover them in their disloyalty and their tricks. But men may come and men may go, yet the Universal Negro Improvement Association shall go on forever until ultimately we plant upon the hilltops of Mother Africa our standard of the Red, the Black and the Green. Daily It Rises Our convention this year has opened the eyes of our Delegates and Deputies, and if all are loyal to the cause as they should be, there is no reason why in another year we will not have a membership twice as large as the present. We know that the enemies have been and are still trying to mislead the people in their belief about our great work, but it is said somewhere that "Truth crushed to earth shall rise again." They have pointed so many times to the failure of this or the failure of that as connected to the Universal Negro Improvement Association, yet every day they see the Universal Negro Improvement Association rising higher and higher, becoming stronger and stronger, achieving more and more. This in itself gives the lie to all that the enemy says, and satisfies the people that the Universal Negro Improvement Association indeed is a movement not of men, but of Christ, of God. We who follow this great movement have accepted our Divine Masters our Leader hence, we need not be afraid of the enemies who try to encompass us. We shall never shameless as we did in the past; we shall defeat them in the future as we are now doing. We know that millions of dollars and pounds have been spent to crush the rising hope of the Negro through the Universal Negro Improvement Association, but the enemies have all thrown away their money, for this great movement rises above them every time they attempt to throw a hindrance in the way. We are marching upward and onward—we shall continue to sweep everything before us in the cause of righteousness and in the cause of African freedom. Our Three Maathpieces Let every member wheresoever he be at this time put on his armor of usefulness and go forth to conquer in the name of our organization. Each member should add at least one hundred new ones to the fold in this new year. We want all Africa organized; we want all the North, South and Gen. If America organized; we want all Canada organized; we want all the United States of America organized; we want Negroes everywhere to come into the fold of this great organization and help us fight the battle on to victory. What a glad day it will be when all Negroes stand together ready to live or die for the sacred principle of Africa's freedom, of human liberty. I am appealing to every member and friend of the Universal Negro Improvement Association to be a constant reader of the weekly "Negro World," the "Daily Negro Times" and the monthly "Blackman." As I have stated before, I desire to see these journals in the hand of every colored man and woman, because through these mediums more can be gathered and learned about the race than by any other agency.

LIBERTY HALL, NEW YORK Sept. 2 - Having tailed to conclude its work within the thirty-one days allotted under the Constitution of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, the Third International Convention of Negroes of the World extended its sessions for two days and came to an auspicious close today amidst scenes of the most dignified, solemn and impressive nature. The fact cannot be gainsaid that this convention has completely eclipsed from every stand point all former conventions, and will go down in history as a landmark among the achievements of the Negro peoples of the world. Generations unborn will look back with pride on, and will do honor to, the illustrious gathering of Negroes from all parts of the world which assembled in New York in the year 1922, and made history that will forever immortalize their names and the name of the Universal Negro Improvement Association under whose auspices they were summoned 2 For thirty-three days and nights have the delegates and deputies from every corner of the globe, composed of men and women from all walks of life—men of learning, professional men, teachers and men who have made a mark in the commercial world and deliberated and legislated on questions embracing every conceivable phase of Negro life—social, political religious, civic, commercial, industrial and educational—with a view to bringing about changed conditions that will make for the improvement and development of the race along the lines of modern civilization The convention has attracted worldwide attention and the news of its doings has been heralded broadcast around the world creating an impression hitherto unknown as to the seriousness with which Negroes are now concerned about their present and future place and condition among the races of the world. Matters of vital importance affecting the interests of the race have been dealt with in an intelligent and state-man-like manner that will redound to the credit of the race. Pre-ominent among these are: "Lynching, and How to Correct It." "The Writing of History for the Negro." "The Commercial and Industrial Output of the Negro." "The Future Policy of the Negro Press." The recommendations brought in by the committees to whom these questions were referred and which were adopted by the convention are practical, and if put into effect will go a long way toward the solution of the Negro problem which has confronted the world for ages. At Geneva Of signal importance is the fact that the Universal Negro Improvement Association has been recognised by the world powers to the extent that the convention was enabled to send a delegation to attend the Conference of the Assembly of the League of Nations in Geneva, Switzerland, to present the claims of Negroes for concessions in Africa. This accomplishment transcends every act of the convention, in that it constitutes a definite step towards the reclamation of Africa for the Negro race, and moreover opens the way wherein the voice of the Negro will be heard in the council of the nations. The delegates and deputies have undoubtedly taken away with them a feeling of deserving pride and satisfaction that they have done much which will be of lasting benefit to the race and will make for the consumption of the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association in bringing about a unanimity of thought and action on the part of the 400,000,000 Negroes of the world. To emphasize their sincerity, loyalty and determination, they rose before separating and took a solemn oath to uphold the principles of the association, and do all in their power to foster its program; and as a mark of good fellowship joined hands and sang the first stanzas of the hymn, "Blest Be the Tie That Binde" and "God Be With You Till We Meet Again" A Motley of Questions The closing week of the convention was devoted to amending the constitution and receiving the reports of committees appointed to deal with the various questions brought before the convention, namely, "The Future Policy of the Negro Press," "Arranging Africa into Duchies and Schools of Social, Political and Educational Development," "Writing History for the Negro," "Establishing Better Commercial Relationship Within the Race," "The Commercial and Industrial Development of Liberia," "The Liberian Loan," "The Commercial and Industrial Output of Liberia," "The Future of the Negro in America," "Improving the Industrial Output of the Negro," "Improving the Social Condition of the Negro," "Redemption of Stock in the Black Star Line Steamship Corporation." The reports were all discussed and the necessary legislation was enacted to affect the reorganization of them. The convention took the New York Convention of Volunteer Volunteerism and the deputies for the splendid work which they had done during the period of the convention and admonished them to take away with them a new vision and a new determination to foster the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association for the advancement of the cause of Negro humanity. MONDAY, AUGUST 28, 1922—MORN ING ABSION The convention resumed on Monday morning with the Hon Dr L. Hundy, the newly elected First Assistant President-General, in the chair. The opening hymn was sung and the usual prayers were recited. The chairman announced that the Hon. President General and Acting Speaker in Convention, as well as many other officials, had to attend court and he had been asked to call the meeting to order and go on with the agenda with the permission of the convention. After the necessary motion was made and adopted, "that Hon Dr Bundy act as Speaker in Convention until the return of the President General," Dr Bundy took the chair. The Acting Secretary General read the minutes of the previous session and after some correction they were adopted. Election of the Lady Assistant President General The chairman announced that they would proceed with the unfinished business, which was the election of the Fourth Assistant President General, who must be a lady. The persons nominated at the previous sessions were Lady Henrietta Vinton Davis, Mrs. Lillian Willis of New York City and Mrs. A. I Robertson of New Orleans. Hon Commissioner Morales of Cuba, who had nominated Lady Davis, spoke eloquently in behalf of his candidate, and was followed by the seconder in the person of Mrs. M. M Scott. Hon Adrian Johnson next spoke on the merits of his candidate. Mrs. Lillian Willis, and Hon. S. A. Haynes then made a strong appeal in behalf of his candidate. Mrs. Robertson. Lady H. V. Davis made a brief and modest speech in accepting her candidacy, while Mrs. Robertson surprised the convention by a most brilliant discourse as to her reasons for accepting the nomination. Mrs. Willis was unavoidably absent and Hon. Adrian Johnson again pressed the claims of his candidate for election. A secret ballot was taken, and the result was announced as follows: Lady H. V. Davis, 107 votes; Mrs. Willis, 5 votes, and Mrs. Robertson, 50 votes. Hon. Lady H. V. Davis was declared duly elected. Hon. Lady H. V. Davis thanked the delegates and deputies for their expression of confidence and appreciation, and promised to support loyally, as she had done in the past. Hon. Marc Garvey. "I have sworn," said she, "that should he go up, I will go up, and should he fail, I shall fall by his side." The chairman said he wanted to make it clear that the convention had been very much impressed by the work and the speech of Hon Mrs. Robertson, and he felt sure that, had it been any other person against her for the office of Fourth Assistant President-General, the most certainly would have been elected to that position. He regarded her as one of the shining lights of the association. The Order of the Day The question of proceeding with the other business of the day was raised. The chairman had suggested that, in the absence of the President-General, they should postpone discussion and receive committee reports. This aroused some opposition, there being delegates who thought they should go on, as there was not much time and they did not think it mattered much if the President-General was absent, as he thought that the delegates were anxious that they should deal with the business as expeditiously as possible. The chairman pointed out that the legislation to be undertaken was very important, and they had need of the advice and experience, not only of the President-General, but also the other high authority who were absent on the same occasion as the President-General. Mr. Clemensius, R. H. Tubid, as THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 1922 . morristice of the committee appointed to discuss the future policy of the Negro press presented the report and recommendations among which were the following. The calling of a convention of Negro editors annually to discuss matters generally concerning the progress of the Negro the laying down of a code of ethics analogous to those laid down by other professors and which should guide editors in the future the adoption of a system whereby unbiased information concerning organizations that are working for the interests of the Negro will be published by a news service properly conducted and that a new standard of news values be created whereby worthy and noted members of the race will be given prominence in our newspapers rather than motious persons and that the study of journalism along with the study of allied subjects be encouraged in the schools and colleges of the country so that a new and better standard of journalism will be obtained in the future The recommendations created some discussion until the time of adjournment, when the further discussion was postponed. AFTERNOON SESSION, AUGUST 28 1922 The convention on the re-assembling this afternoon took up the question of filling the office of Provisional President of Africa, vacated by the resignation of Hon. Marcus Garvey. Without any delay the former incumbent (Hon Marcus Garvey) was returned to office by a unanimous vote. Mr Garvey in accepting the office returned thanks for the election to a position which he termed the most troublesome political office in the world, in that he was given the responsibility of proclaiming for the freedom of an African Republic, and that Africa was coveted at this time he ause it contained the mineral wealth which the world wanted. He, however, promised to shoulder the responsibility in the future as he had shouldered it in the past and hoped that before many years rolled by we would not have to elect a 'provisional President of Africa, but a real active President, who will not administer the affairs of the government from New York, United States of America, but from New York, United States of Africa The Persian Consul Before going into further business Mr. Garvey, as chairman, announced the receipt of a communication from Mr. H. H. Topakyn, Consul General of the Imperial Persian Government and representative of the Abyssinian Government in this country, who he stated was scheduled to be present at this session, but was unfortunately called away to Washington. He, however, sent a copy of the speech he intended to deliver with the request that it be read before the convention. The latter was addressed to the Hon. Marcus Garvey, and read an follow- "It is with regret that I must inform you that it will be impossible for me to attend the meeting and make the address as I promised I would do. I am, however, enclosing a copy of my address with the request that the secretary of the association read it in my place. I am exceedingly sorry that I cannot come to the meeting. Wishing you the greatest success in your endeavor, I beg to remain. "H. H. TOPAKYN." The announcement was received with vociferous applause, which increased in volume as the address was read by the Secretary-General, the text of which is as follows: The Message from Afar Mr. Chairman, Ledra and Gentlemen and Visitors from afar We are gathered here upon a great occasion and a prophetic hour, an hour sounded by the big clock of history as the daemon of the era of human brotherhood and democracy. The autocracy of class, creed and racial consciousness has been shot to pieces, and from its grave has sprung the fair flower of human fraternity Thought is the trade mark of this new era. The brain of the world is no longer covered by one skin, and the thinking of the world is no longer corrupted in one head. Events have popular parentage. Everybody is interested in everybody. The historian and philosopher have joined hands. Sociology and theology have become full partners. The story of the Good Samaritan is being translated into the modern language of sympathy and love. The World's Eyes We are here at the confluence of all the streams of civilization. The arcs of the world are upon us. The nations of the earth are coming together. They touch elbows. They are strung on one telegraph wire. They is not a place on the globe big enough or small enough to hide a stale secret. The antiquities of the earth are the opposite sides of a little narrow street. Here in the new world we know in the more imag about the old world what it only knows about itself at sundown. We hear the shot of the hunter in Africa before the smoke digs away from the muscel of his gun-gear and we receive a cabbage from Ilongkong in twenty four hours before it starts. Science has annihilated space and distance and by railroading and steamboating by the telegraph and the telephone the wireless and radiograph has brought the ends of the earth within hearing and speaking distance and so reduced the causes of international misunderstanding conflict and war thus hastening the reign of winter salt pea. The Collapse of Prejudice Name is also shattering social distances differences prejudice and barriers bringing the people of the earth into a partnership and hastening the fulfillment of Tengyang's dream of the Parliament of Man. It has been a tedious punishment in the face of big air and hostility but thank God the day of brotherhood is at hand and with it comes the pious truth proclaimed by Paul in Uncia Hill. God has made our blood all nations of man. You in conclusion I bring you a message from the King and Queen of the riddle of civilization Wusantha. Sponsor. During the course of a recent audience with these versatile and distinguished rulers of a great historic land I booked of this at that time approaching the conference (Applause). The resultful ruler quickly caught as we do the significance of this gathering and with visible emotion he said. Kindly convey our greetings, congratulations and best wishes to the assembly when it convenes. Here they are originated and here it can be lifted to its highest plane of usefulness and honor (Applause). Assure them of the cordiality with which I invite them back to the home land (great applause); particularly those qualified to help solve our big problems and to develop our vast resource, teachers, artisans, mechanics writers, musicians professional men women all who are able to lend a hand in the constructive work which our country so deeply feels and greatly needs (Applause). Here we have abundant room and great opportunities and here destiny is working to elevate and enthrone a race which has suffered slavers, and poverty and persecution and martyrdom but whose expanding soul and growing genius is now the hope of many millions of mankind (Applause). Thus the King of Abraima speaks and thus the thoughtful all around the world speak, for the black man is showing his grit and grace and enquiring genius today as never before in his history and future agree will witness his higher ascent in the realm of science and law literature and religion, industry, and career and his growing contributions to the world-wide structure of liberty and civilization (Applause). Mr. Chairman, I thank you. The convention voted unanimously to convey thanks to the King of Abujaulia by a cable message and that the address be printed and circulated among the delegates. The order of the day was then proceeded with the first item being the report of committees. Consideration of the report of the Committee on "The Future Policy of the Negro Press" was resumed and the report was adopted as follows. The Report on the Negro Press To the Hon Acting Speaker in Convention, Hon Members of the High Executive Council, Hon Deputies and Delegates to the Third International Convention of the Negro Peoples of the World now in session We your committee on the Future Policy of the Negro Press respectfully submit the following resolutions Whereas in the natural order of modern life the press has come into its own as one of the most powerful instruments whereby thought is generated and transmitted, and Whereas because of its tremendous influence, the Negro press can make or mar the entire race it is the sense of this Third International Convention of Negroes that a definite clear-cut racial policy be worked out whereby consciousness of race may be enhanced the interests of race be seen with clarity and destiny of the race be realized with greatest speed and economy, therefore be it Resolved 1. That this convention expressing its will through the Universal Negro Improvement Association set about to advocate a policy making for a broadness of vision so that a cosmic attitude outlook and outlet in things racial shall encircle the present insularity and vitalism if the Negro press. 2. That we advocate and foster a project whereby there can be periodic meetings of administrative heads of the great recognized religious, educational fraternal, civic and social organizations within the race for purposes of deliberation and consultation, but not of legislation on the vital issues confronting the race "Editors' Day" 3. That we, at our Annual International Conventions, designate an "Editors' Day," which shall be devoted to the discussion of matters affecting the Negro press and public. 4. That we advocate and foster an annual International Convention of Negro Editors, making for oneness of interest, harmony of thought and concert of action. 5. That we lead the way in the working out of a code of journalistic ethics analogous to the ethics of the other older learned professions. (Journalism is comparatively young as a profession. It has not yet evolved a distinct code of ethics such as exists in the legal, clerical and medical professions.) Such an endeavor may well engage our attention. 6. That some discretionary system be adopted by means of which the news sources shall be compelled to give the news that is not biased opinions and by which all institutions working in the interest of Negroes everywhere will be properly represented in their news service. That we can create a hard of news values. That deals and thoughts and persons not worthy rather than notorious be given the positions of prominent in our headlines our news and our editorials. A. That we inaugurate a world-wide campaign of continuous duration to interest young men in the matter of taking up the study of journalism as a practiced profession. That in our schools and colleges courses be worked out in economics, history, politics, diplomacy, the education to journalism, for the training of such young men who shall be the future leaders of the race in this field of journalism. The report of the committee is laying and How to conduct it was not presented and adopted. It needs to follow. Lynching and How to Correct It We Your committee on Lymphing and How to Correct It beg to serve to submit the following report: Where a Mobilizing Lymphing and mobilize seems to be on the increase in America rather than on the decrease and since it is directed toward and against the Negro of America and of the world, and because of all apparent efforts in this direction to curtail or stop the same have failed therefore, be it. Resolved That we the representatives of 400,000 Negroes of the world in the Third International Conversion assembled to pledge ourselves to the following policy in dealing with the subject with a view of helping the situation. 1st. Believing in law and order and justice, and knowing the effect of morality, restraint upon the life of his individual, as well as the life we do hereby remind every Negro of the absolute necessity of all times. No demean himself in such a manner as to command the respect of all regulated organized society. 2d. That we make each act of lymbophage expensive to the lynchers and that by the securing of laws in each State compete the State to assume the responsibility of the lawlessness of the mob. 3d. That we urge properdness on the part of every member of our organization and on the part of all Negroes. That this preparedness take the form of law and order and the existence of our preparedness be only abwn when placed upon the defensive. 4th. That we is in organization seek the promulgation of the laws and objects of the UN. In other community of Negroes until the spirit of race loyalty unity and cohesion shall people and hasten the time when a whole race or nation in Africa we shall be able to enforce protection of the hands of any State or nation that may lash burth much malice of Africa. The next report to be submitted was that of the Committee on The Arrangement of Africa into Ducie and Schools of Social Political and Educational Development. Some discussion is ensued on the report in which fear was expressed that the recommendations embodied therein might prejudice the success which the delegation sent by the convention to the Peace Conference might accomplish before the League of Nations assembly. One delegate (Hon Adrian Johnson) also thought it was und ploma to let the European Government know in advance our plans in this respect concerning Africa and moved that the report be laid on the table definitely. The motion was lost and the report was received and adopted as follows. To His Excellency the Hon. Acting Speaker in Convention Hon. Members of the High Executive Council Hon. Deputies and Delegates to the Third International Convention of the Negro Peoples of the World. We your Committee on The Arranging Africa into Duchies and Schools of Political and Educational Development may leave to submit the following resolution Whereas certain of the view raises that have partitioned out Africa our motherland into spheres of influence are conferring titles. Africans are a Duke of —— upon several dignitaries of their own race because of the psychological effect upon the unsuspecting natives for the purpose of further subjugating them, and whereas it has become the sacred duty of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League by its Declaration of Rights of the Negro Race to protect the interests of Africa and the Africans at home and abroad and to uplift our noble race politically educationally etc. by its constructive and expansive program, therefore be it required 1. That this Third International Convention of the Negro Peoples of the World now in session create. Spheres of Influence in Africa by establishing duchies and schools of social political and educational development for the purpose of— a. Counteracting the harmful influence of allen races upon the natives, and b. Educating them to a better understanding of the civilization of the Western World, for the ultimate redemption of Africa and the founding and establishment of an African Empire for the protection of Africans at home and abroad. 2. That the title to be conferred upon each of the officials of those duchies shall be that of "Duke" and "Duchess" as the case may be, and that these dignitaries shall at all times use every available means for educating the natives of these respective spheres of their rights, politically, socially, industrially, economically, religiously and otherwise. Arising out of the report. Hon. Dr. Womans of Other raised the question of the propriety of the organization conferring titles as was done at the recent court reception. He mentioned that in a talk with the President of the Negro Associated Press that gentleman had called his attention to the matter which said man 'was upon with favor and interest in a gation to indulge Our Initiative The man in reply said to the fact, that this was not a national organization but that it was an international movement and there was no reason why we should accept the opinion of one man as against that of a man. There was a great deal of misunderstanding and about this and he took to explain it the The Negro is very imitative, and that we we monkeys we we slept what in other fellows we we do not create for ourselves. Because we are under a Republican government some people believe that we must have absolutely no opinion of you own as a race in that we have no government of ours, but such an attitude will not get us anywhere. If we are to be creative in our own interest we cannot afford to allow the other fellow to advise us what we should do. We have been accepting his advice at the time and his advice has taken us nowhere. Now let us take the history of the world. Before America became a republic we had the great British Empire a monarchy that became a party to the very system which we endeavoring to institute now. America became a British colony through the same recognition that we were endeavoring to give. It was the same recognition that forced certain people into the making of America. British colony. Hundreds of persons write to to the British mobility for the sex they rendered in making America British colonies. That policy has been agreed on by many nations and they also been agreed on by the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Why should we discard that which we made other folks great? It's a nature down the ages that a man to do service you must be nize him as from the olden days. The English people say that we recognize central, most from our culture and place them in many people because of their great he in the empire but he hated went and fought for the of his King and after he had done cert in things to the pure his King made him Earl of bish town. Roberts because of the ogro- tion he knew would come to his King did all that he could from military viewpoint to aid to the l and glory of his empire and to did that he was made Earl Roberts thing in the court. Wellesley feeling that he would not recognition in his expio in war in the battle of Wellington and w rowing great. He defended the thereof he was made Duke of Winton. The whole British system has been built up by recognition the are German and Prussian system he been built up that way and not the Russian system. It does not mean say that we are advising you to perpeteate a system of nobility andocracy later on in we in our development will become Socialists too or we will become Republicans but we are only starting where the other fellow started. It is human nature that when you make a man know that you are going to toward him and recognize and appreciate him for services rendered and place him above others he is going to do the best in him. That is the only object of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Hon U. S. Porton a so questioned the propriety of these titles, which he did not think were in consonance with the principles of democracy, which all people, including the Universal Negro Improvement Association, were now advocating. Again the Question of Titles Mr Garvey called attention to the fact that the conferring of degrees by American colleges and universities was parallel to the conferring of titles by the Universal Negro Improvement Association, the only difference being that one was a scholastic degree while the other was a political. Mr Poston however, disagreed with that view and said that educational institutions conferred degrees for completing a specified course of study. Hon Dr J R Diggs in defense of the policy of conferring titles, said this organization was not indigenous to the United States of America. We may be Democrats and we may be Americans and all that, but we are dealing with a world-wide movement and each country must drop off its peculiarities and its localism and its provincialism. We could not make this whole thing American and then call it the Universal Negro Improvement Association. The degrees that Columbia confers were not for completing a course of study it was simply an honorary degree, a custom which was derived from Europe. Continuing, Mr. Diggs said he spoke not as a foreigner but as an American citizen having enjoyed the privileges of the American institutions and American citizenship. He believed there was much in the Constitution of the United States, but until the 14th, 15th, 16th, 17th and 18th Amendments were all enforced our citizenship amounts to nothing. Why. He inquired, should we turn down the custom of our own African fathers, why should we turn down a principle of government that the world has always followed up to the present just for the pleasure of pleasing game one who is not a member of this convention? American scholarship is broad and it told you to construct your own plans and do not follow the Constitution of the United States or the constitution of England but to follow that which is world-wide, and to prove it in convict you. Why should we can be said to be a Universal Negro Improvement Association and that we make everything by the degrees of New York or Maryland of the United States? Go and to the Associated Press, said he, that a world-wide association and close in to the United States will from when we are speaking of lives we are repeating the people in Africa who want that kind of stuff. Tell them we are no more different from the universities in this country that have imported degrees from Europe and are conferring them on the President of the United States and everybody else whom they regard with respect. Why the eface should the Association and Press set excited over this ugly titles on in Report of Committee on Writing of History for the Negro H. S. Spencer in love H. S.

Fundamentally st 1s a clash of weals Youth 1s out to conquer, and the scroll of histury 1s une endless record vf the con- quest of the oncoming generation, of the enthrunement of youth and ideahsm. Through Marcus Garvey the Negro youth speaks out Out on the hilltops his voice 1s heard. In DuBois, the leader of the uld guard, is centered all the npeness of old age, culture, skepticism, intellectual paralysis. Woatness, as exhibit one, the decadence of “The Crisis,” once a palatable sheet. nuw a dry, dusty. old-fashioned vehicle of statistics, almost as senile as the “.\msterdam News * Admurers of Mr DuBois may not hke to hear this but it is nevertheless true. His days are over Of necessity —it 18 the law of progress—he must step aside and give way to youth, to younger blood, to the hundreds of New Negroes stalking out, like Banquo’s ghost, of colleges and universities, fearless, radical, challenging. Again, as is seen on the battlefields of the other race, the old 2 epee we cannot draw our parallels too often—is in retreat, jd youth is triumphant. Clairvoyant that he is, Dr DuBois must fealize by this time that his days are numbered, that the ycungers, led by Marcus Garvey, are sweeping everything before them THE GREAT CONVENTION E Third International Convention of Negroes whi n Liberty Hall, New York City, came to 2 close last as attended by more spectacular exhibitions, more more emotional thrills and more constructive legisl: SHE Third International Convention of Negroes wii... a sembled TI in Liberty Hall, New York City, came to 2 close last week It was attended by more spectacular exhibitions, more dramatic episodes, more emotional thrills and more constructive legislation than apy previous convention that was staged by and for black men The photuresque parades. the monster mass meeting in the armory, the im- passioned address of Rev. Dr Austin, tho ye rgeously brillant court réception, the resplendent Ethiopian pageant, the Women’s Industral Exhibit and the mauguration of elected officers, which was followed by a fashion show, will live m the memory of the deputres. delegates and visitor as cher ..d memories. Then, too, the impeachment trials of the Surgeon General, the Speaker af the Henee and the American Leader, the attempted impeachment of the President-General, the resignation of the members of the High Executive Council, the election and appomtment and challenging of high officials possessed dramatic elements that held the auditors spell-bound and kept them in a fever heat of excitement. As was quite natural, it was the dramatic and exciting incidents of the convention that received big headlines in the daily newspapers and were discussed in private. But the thunder and lightning, the smoke and noise engendered by the convention obscured the fact that a good deal ‘was accomplished in the way of constructrve legislation And while the spectacular events and dramatic episodes mav become hazv im the memory, the beneficent results of the constructive legislation sill grow brighter as the years roll on. ‘The drafting of a petition and the sending of envoys to the League of Nations, the appointment of a committee to consider better relation- ship within the Negro race, the appointment of a committee to consider the future religious faith and belief of the Negro, the suggestion that presidents of divisions take a course in the Booker T. Washington Uni- wercity or a correspondence course under the guidance of the officials of the tniversity, the-suggestion of a budget system, the prospective organ- ization of the Black Star Redemption Company to redeem the stock of ‘Yhe Black Star Line and the prospective establishment of the Black Star Nayigation and Traiting Company as an auxiliary of the U.

THE WAY OF SALVATION URING the past four and a half years we have attended D three racial conventions and three Methodist conferences and have read with interest the resolutions sent out by other racial conventions, Methodist conferences and Baptist con- ventions. Through them all, sometimes faintly and sometimes dimly, we heard a pathetic wail, the voice of a soul in distress What ia the trouble? The black man feels that the fact that Negro blood courses thfough his veins gives him a status in modern society that 1s lower even than that of other colored races like the Japanese, Chinese, Hindoo and Indian. What must he do? The first question for the black man to ask 1s, “Why is my standing so low in the world’s regard?” The answer to that ques- tion will point the way to the black man’s salvation The white child has been 2 Beet that the Negro has never made any contribu- tion to civilization, is a savage in his native land and was a slave in the We tern hemisphere for two and a half centunes. Conse- quently as he grows to manhood, when he sees a man in whose veins saursee Negro blood, he associates inferiority and poverty with im. By publishing the truth ding his contribution to civiliza- tion and’ Bis at status ia Bs po land and making him- et mentally, morally, physically, ieeustealy ‘and. commercially it the Negro wil eal ly change the world’s estimate of and consequent attitude towards him. Both by what he is, by what he says by what he does, the black man must lift himself as other races have lifted themselves. This seems to be the surest way of salvation. ‘ _ ee FOREIGN AFFAIRS Jhursday of last week, drew attention tu what he termed reporty ot crimes committed by Freach black colomal trovps on the Rhine The Senator 1s rankang Democrat on the Foreign gvelutions ( ummuttee He declared that 1 was the duty of the American Government to suggest (/ brane the substitution of white troops He said among other things, that “we may sit idly by while France im ner tully proceeds to cmpple| the German republe by demands tor reparations which all the world knows Germany cannot possibly mect ar thre ame but we ay a mation | are sn part responsible for the Rhineland beng ander military operation, and sty our nght as welll as our duty tu protest against quartering halt: civilized black troups amung white people, where they appear as con: querors and act as Crimmals "We would bhe to ask the Senater apon what grounds he bases his allegation \re the troops criminal only because thes are black and are they alsu only “halt cvahzed™ for they, vers ethn reason?

We need women in the important places of the orgeniza- (ion to help refine and mold pubite sentiment, realising the colossal pro- fram of thts great organization, and as wo are determined to reclaim our own land, Africa, we have resolved to submit the following recommendations. 1 That a woman be the head of the Black Cross Nurees and Motor Corpa and have absolute control over thoge women, and this shall not confiiet with the Legions, 2. That woman be given more recog- nition by being placed on every com- mittee, #0 that she may leara more of tho salient workings of the various committees. 3.

She was not ip favor of the women standing behind and pushing the men; they wanted to be placed in some of the executive post- Uons because they felt they were en- Utied to them.

However. it would do no harm to paég the resolutions In a modified form. He suggested that resolution four be changed to the ef- fect that the women be encouraged to formulate plane, and that resolution five be chenged to the effect that the women while functioning without ro- atriction by the men would not be In- terpreted “0 mean agevoranco of the men from the women™in the work of the organization. ‘The resolutions were then adopted a atari oem etee ae Galary of Assistant President-General ‘The question of the aalary of the Assistant Presidont-General was re- opened for discussion.

Ho was supported by several of the delegates, as woll as the chair, and a few of the executive officers volunteered to yield to @ cut In thelr salaries in order that the Assistant President-General's sal- ary be Increased. After a protracted iscussion the Executive Council en- tered into conference and adjusted the ‘matter to the satisfaction of Dr. Bundy ‘without tnorgasing the ealery budget sanctioned by the convention.

Our recommendations, therefore, are 1. That the reforms here sought begin in the good homes of the race. 2. That our youths be instructed by their parents to observe all the rules of good breeding in their contact with others. 3. That they teach them respect for their elders, courtesy to the aged and to honor their fathers and mothers. 4. That they be taught to emulate the good examples in matters social of all races and to study the social customs of the Japanese, especially the attitude of the young toward those of upper years. The question is largely one of geography, i.e. no fixed rule can be established to guide the people of all sections. There are forms of courtesy among all peoples and they are expressed in different ways, though they mean the same thing in the last analysis. We Negroes should establish our own social forms and strive to impress our young people with the idea that courtesy cleanliness and gentleness are the hall-mark of true friends and gentlemen. We still believe these are matters which can be safely left to the Christian homes of our race for final solution. Respectfully JOHN E. BRUCE. Chairman MISS H. V. DAVIS. FOR LEROY BUNDY H I L POSTON.

Washington Tailor, Dust J-239 Chicago The chair explained that at the last convention it was voted to appoint commissioners, but no laws were made to govern the activities of those commissioners, so that when the time came for them to use commissioners the President General and Administrator had on this account to make rules and regulations by which the commissioners could be governed. It was the desire, therefore, to make proper laws sanctioned by the convention for the government of the commissioners, and he therefore submitted a tentative draft of the rules under which the commissioners had worked for the approval of the convention and to be added to the constitution The draft was submitted and discussed and finally adopted as law with certain amendments. The following resolution was submitted by Mon H. V Plummer and adopted Whereas, We have received an invitation from the Abyssinian government to return home to the home land, and Whereas, The object of the U. N. I. A. is to assist in building up all independent Negro government, and Whereas, Abyssinian needs the help of all professionals, and Whereas, It is our duty to assist her in developing her resources, and Whereas, It will be a wise plan to send a mission to the Abyssinian government to convey our thanks for their kind remembrance, and also to put before them such plans as would be necessary for advancing the cause of the U. N. I. A Be it resolved, That this convention give the Potentate, the Supreme Deputy and the President General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association the power to send a secret mission to the Abyssinian government to make such representation as would be necessary to establish a stronghold in that government for the Universal Negro Improvement Association, also to convey to them our best wishes and thanks for the kind rememberance and well wishes. This concluded the business of the convention, and the President General delivered his closing address, at the conclusion of which the delegates and deputies rose and took the following path administered by the Assistant Chaplain General, Rev. Dr A H. Maloney I, solemnly swear and affirm that the principles and program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association will ever be dear to my heart and that I will give my attention to the fulfillment of such principles and program, so help me God. The delegates then joined hands and sang the first stanzas of the hymns, 'Bleat Be The Be That Binds' and 'God Be With You Till We Meet Again' Hon Thomas Swan of Philadelphia moved a vote of thanks to the parent body, the New York local members and citizens of New York who had contributed to the success of the Third International Convention, and especially commanded the New York World for its interest and fair presentation of the doings of the convention. The motion was seconded and carried with acclamation. Hon. R. H Tohbit delivered a brief address in praise of the Hon Marcus Garvey, after which the delegates and supporters as well as the delegates three hearty cheers for the President General In the absence of the High Potentate, who was prevented by illness from attending the closing session, the Secretary General (Hon R. L. Poston) in his behalf officially declared the convention of 1922 closed. MR. GARVEY ON MEMBERSHIP LOAN BY SYSTEM. We started this loan system about four or five months ago in New York and all the business enterprises around here in New York belonging to the New York Local were brought about by the System and the New York Local by its attitude now, will in the space of two years own every second business enterprise you see in this neighborhood. Through this system, the members having entered into it with the spirit of doing good for the Association. By this system we are going to build our hall. by this system we are going to run business employing hundreds of thousands of members as the years roll by and make ourselves in this community economically independent of everybody else by having our money working for us rather than having the other fellow working our money without even considering us. The same plan is intended to be instituted in every division it up, after a year or two there will be a strong loan savings department in that Division which will enable it to go into any business that the Division wants in that community. If they want to build a Liberty Hall they would not have to go down and borrow money from the broker or from a real estate man and pay 20 or 25 per cent interest on it. Each Division by this savings plan would have in its own money more money as much as that community would need and would be able to do as much as any individual commercial house or bank in that community would be able to do. It took some time, probably six months, to accumulate in the New York Local Division and other Divisions the money which they have under this Loan System. The Local Presidents could not see it and some of them up to now have tried to suppress the idea of the Loan System, yet some of them want to build a Liberty Hall and go into business, and this is the best method of being able to do what you want to do in your Division and carrying out the program of the Division. I trust all the presidents who are here will realize that the Universal Negro Improvement Association was brought into being for the purpose of helping to develop the financial condition of our people and placing us in a position to control the industries of our country. If every division of the U. N. I. always have a thousand members in each division or two or three thousand members in each division would carry out this system, do you know what would THE NEGRO WORLD. SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER 9. 1922 OH. AMERICA! happen? In the space of two years the parent body would be able to control between a billion and two billion dollars, and with that surplus cash of Negroes all over the world you could buy out Wall Street. Take the investments we have in New York through this system, take the investments in Pittsburgh and Chicago and all over the world, with the surplus cash would have why we could start anything we want, we could buy a hundred ships at a time. We could force legislation, we could do anything, because at our command we have billions of dollars of surplus, the savings of the members of the association which would be used in developing industries for them to employ them and make the Negro economically independent of any other race in the world. By this system, if properly followed by divisions, in the space of five years no Negro in America needs ask the white man for a job, because you will have control of such surplus money that you could start anything, you could do anything, you could buy out Wall Street Wall Street dominates because Wall Street is able to control the saving output of the people. Wall Street is no stronger than the people. If the people do not direct their money into the channels of Wall Street, the influence of Wall Street is bound to fail Wall Street becomes strong and dominant because of the support which members of the community give to Wall Street by putting their savings money into institutions controlled by Wall Street If all the Negro peoples of the world through the Universal Negro Improvement Association were to save their money through this membership loan system, it would mean that the saving capacity of the 400,000,000 Negroes of the world would be at the disposal of the Universal Negro Association, and there would be no Wall Street and no banking institution in the would that would be stronger than the Universal Negro Improvement Association, that means the moment you ol cash you control the policy of government. What We Could Do Do you know that we could stop lynching in America? In the next five years not another Negro would be lynched by our being able to control the industries. If you accumulate money in another five years you would not want to go and bag a mob not to lynch you. In that space of time you will control nearly every business in the Southern States and control and dictate the policy of Wall Street it will control the policy of the government. A man who is a Republican, let him be Rockefeller or Carnegie, he wants to be a Republican, but because he can use the Republican party to put over his interests. He subscribes so much to the Republican campaign for the candidate he wants, and he controls the policy of the government for the next years. If you develop a strong financial power you will control the politics of the country, you will control legislation, and if you can control legislation you will control government and you will get all that you want. but you must come across with the goods—that is, money. If you have money everybody hears you, and this is the best method of putting over the program that we want instead of dissipating our finance and putting our money in this white bank and the other white bank. Look at the danger in America of Negroes putting their money in white banks, and the same thing is true in the West Indies, in Central and South America and in Africa. The white America control your or your money the world over; they take the same club you give them and club you with it. All that is happening to our people in Africa is caused by that, and you don't know it. Baving that, and you don't know it away in the white banks has caused Wall Street to control the rubber output in the Congo and the diamond output in Kimberly. They have bought the mine concessions there and enslaved our people and taken away your country with your own money, and you don't know it. If you were in a financial position that Wall Street was in when these concessions were going begging you would have bought them out and you would have controlled the diamond output of Kimberly and the rubber output of the Congo. When these concessions were about to be sold you had not the money because you gave it to the other fellow to spend for you to your own detriment. Wall Street has gone down to Hailel and has taken control of the government of Hailel. The National City Bank of New York controls Hailel. The directors of the National City Bank never had a nickel for themselves. You went to work and saved your money and cast it into the repository of the National City Bank, and they took that money and bought concessions in Hailel and placed your own race in slavery in Hailel. You are supplying the club with which other people are clubbing you. We are asking through this system that we re-direct our settings from Wall Street and institutions connected with Wall Street to our own organisation and place your organisation in the next five years in the position of Wall Street and Wall Street will go broke and we will be able to buy out all these institutes, that now control the country.

God never made rich men. How did men come to be rich? By being able to fool the other folks if you read the lives of millionaires like Cernagle and Rockefeller you will find that they never started with anything. They were not born rich, they got rich by working out plans by which they would get people to work for them. They devised a plan by which they would get the ordinary people to work for them, and the plan that the white man of brains has devised is a plan by which he sends out ninety million white Americans six days of the week to work eight hours of the day and to go one hour or half hour of every week and save that which he has worked for. He sits down and with his brain manipulates that which you have worked for and saved in his institution. All that he uses is brains to harness your labor and the whole country of white people is working for these few men of brains who sit down in Wall Street. Every Monday morning Wall Street sends out 90,000 people to work for them and after they have worked six days they take a rest of a half hour and bring what they have worked for to them and then they use that for six days of the week and make more on it and as compensation they say, "I will give you 3 per cent, for that which you have allowed me to use for you." It is all the people's money, the people who go to work every morning. PRESIDENT GENERAL'S SPEECH CLOSING CONVENTION Hon. Marcus Garvey addressed the delegates and deputies as follows: We have reached the point where we have to bid good-bye to each other. We have had a contact of a month and two days. We assembled here for the purpose of legislating in the interests of the organization that we are all members of or supporters of—the Universal Negro Improvement Asn., and at the same time to do what is possible in the interest of the Negro peoples of the world. From the best of our ability we have performed our duty DIFFERENCES During the time spent in the Convention we have had many unpleasant differences, but such is to be expected in all such assemblies. Men will differ in opinion, but that does not mean that they must become enemies and remain enemies. I believe that all that has been done in this Convention has been done to the best interests of the organization that all of us love so dearly. Where we voted for or against anyone it was because of the dictates of our conscience. And now that we are about to take our departure to our respective homes, let us go each and every one with a spirit of good will, with the spirit of fraternal love to do much more in future than we have done in the past for this great organization and for this noble race of ours. We profit by experience. We during this convention have tried to the best of our ability to remedy the mistakes of the past; that is why we have amended our constitution, that is why we have changed certain orders and certain systems and certain methods. That you yourselves are a party to the changes, it becomes your duty to go forth and see that the changes you have brought about are carried into effect. but trust nons of us will take our differences to mean opposition to the present program and to the administration of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. What I mean by that is, that we are to follow the system and the method of other movements and governments. When there is a difference in the Cabinet of a Government and the Cabinet resigns and a new one is elected in the interests of the Government, those who go out and those who may be their friends do not fight the new Government, but give it an opportunity to justice is existence. For instance, we have the Republican party and the Democratic party. When the one is in power the other has to obey. Probably, later on, our organization will take on the aspect of party spirit. In the British Parliament you have the opposition party, but when the one party is in power the other must obey. I have seen it developed in this convention where there was a manifest opposition, and up to now I believe there is an opposition to the adminis- tration. I believe there are some of the delegates who do not think the administration is the best we could have elected. That does not mean you must go out and oppose the administration. You must give the administration time to justify your opinion of it. If the administration is no good, then when we come back to the convention you will have a stronger argument to carry your administration and you will expect to get support from all the people when your administration comes into existence. So does the present administration expect that you will give your support to it so as to carry on for the good of all concerned. So that I trust we have a true sense of understanding and appreciation of what has happened in here during the month. I as President and head of the administration give every man and woman credit for his or her feeling. Your opinion is important to you. Your opinion. If you have got a majority of people in your opinion, then you have succeeded; if I can get a majority of people in my opinion, then I have succeeded. Your time may come when you will get a majority opinion, and then you shall be in the same position as the other fellow who got the majority opinion. Let us part friends for the cause; yet we can have our own personal opinions all the same without making those personal opinions affect the administration for the good of the organization. That is to say, law is law. If the Republicans make a law because they are in power, not because the Democrats are opposed to the Republican party, is there any reason why they can go out and break the law? They will get themselves in jail. The Democrats will wait until they get into power and repeal the law. Now the law is made under the Constitution; the administration has been endorsed and it is the duty of every delegate to obey the Constitution and the administration, everybody should realize and appreciate that Everyone's time will come. As the association grows larger and grows older we are going to develop party spirit and when a party is out of power it must go out to strengthen itself for the time when it will be in power again, but it must not do so at the expense of breaking the law or the constitution that has been upheld by the majority in convention. I trust therefore we will go away eradicating our differences in convention, forgetting all the harshness of words and the harshness of action, and appreciating the fact that what was done was for the best interests of concerned. We have hard things, of each other; we have called each other bad names, but we are going to forget all of that until we come back next year and the fellow who called bad names and got elected next year that is his lookout. But after he is elected it is the duty of everyone to support him, because his service is directed not to the good of himself but to the good of all. I understood that some of us got the spirit that because we did not get our pet schemes through that we are going to line up with some organization, and we are going to support some others and we are going to support some other new movement. The Danger of Splitting the church print out the damage that. That has been the system that has destroyed this race of ours. You spend two or three years to build an organization and then as it becomes big you divide into three or five different parts and you never become big enough at any time to do anything. That has been the case for 50 years in America and for 80 years in the West Indies. We have had no Negro movement big enough to impress the world. That spirit has been demonstrated here—if I am not getting what I want I am going to get another Universal Negro Improvement Association. That will mean in space of time after every convention in another five or six years of publications as we have religions. That is how the Church has been divided. The Church was one solid great institution, but Martin Luther pulled out and set up the Protestant Church, and then Wesley pulled out and set up the Wesleyan branch, and then another pulled out and set up the Baptist religion and another the Moravian Church and so on, and the result is that the dif- Wear Good Clothes at Little Cost APPEARANCE COUNTS Buy Straight from the Manufacturers and SAVE MONEY Give us a call or send for our price lists.

HARLEM JAMAICA 1900 ferent churches have brought the world into one great confusion. Through that we have Catholic pulling against Protestants; Protestant pulling against Methodists; Methodists pulling against Episcopalians and it is a question now whether the doctrine preached is the best doctrine for humanity. On the contrary we have a united Mohammedanism growing every year in power, while we have here a divided Christian faith pulling against itself. It tends to the weakening of the great Christian religion and the ascendance of that religion, the people are united in on belief. Lam only saying this as a warning and if you continue to fight among yourselves you are going to be defeated by the united forces of the world. We do not want to follow the bad example of dividing, and I see at this convention a spirit of division. I am appealing to you man and woman who harbor that spirit of division not to go out and join something else or start something else. Not because I am administrator, for I individually am not concerned, but it is the race that is concerned. So that I hope all of you will remain in the ranks of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and what you were unable to correct at this convention you will prepare yourselves better to correct at the forthcoming convention. What are we building? We are building an institution that we hope will be everlasting. We hope the Universal Negro Improvement Association will be like the Rock of Ages to go on for all time. No one man lives for all time. No two man lives for all time. No company of man lives for all time. That means, therefore, that every man's time will come. I do not want to be always President-General. I am getting physically poor; I am hoping that a year or two years from now, or ten years from now, as soon as you can find somebody better able than I am, that I will be able to retire and do some other work not so exacting, and that will be a chance for somebody else to be President-General and when somebody else becomes President-General he would not be for all time; he will only live for the time of a human being. When he dies or when he gets fatigued or worn out he will give way to somebody else. Before the end of time we have a thousand or five thousand or half a million different President-Generals. We are going to give chances to every man to rise according to his ability. But you must have a little patience. Some of us want to start too big. We do not have patience enough to wait our time. Everybody's time will come; so that I trust we will really understand ourselves and get to realize that the work is bigger than individual, and that in the work there will be a chance for everybody concerned. The best advice I can give you is to fit yourself for the job that you want, because the fellow is going to win out who is best suited for the job, and you are always going to be dissatisfied if you are not as fit as the other man, so that you can have an equal chance with him. Some people get disgusted and dissatisfied under unreasonable circumstances. That is, they know well they are not as prepared as the other, yellow and yet want the other's job. Before you can be truly and honestly dissatisfied you must get as prepared as the other fellow and then when we lose out you will know it is favoritizing on something else against you. There is a chance for every man who prepares himself for higher service in the Universal Negro Improvement Association, because as the important grower bigger we are going to call men to service for higher positions and bigger jobs. As far as some of us are concerned, we falter in our duty because we are envious of the other fellow's position. As for instance, some commissioners and some other fellows I notice have refused to work because another fellow is elected to a job and is getting a salary, and he feels therefor he could not to work. You will not get anywhere that way, because your time may come. Let us do the work that we think we ought to do in the interest of the race, because the race is not sleep and will take care of you. I have enough faith in Negro people that if you faithfully serve them they will recognise you in the face of death and blood itself. There is one thing about the Universal Negro Improvement Association, it never turns down the man who has served it except we are forced through extraordinary circumstances, and that is why some of us are still with it now, because we felt we can not turn down a man who has tried to serve us. But sometimes we are forced to the extreme, as in this convention. You can not always allow your sympathy to get the better of your judgment. So that you will find it necessary in the existence of a movement at times to throw out certain people and have no regrets. I trust you will have no regrets at what you have done during this convention. I trust we will go from here with a new mission, with a new determination, swearing new allegiance to this great cause of ours and so as to be able to prove our faith and confidence, all those who will stand firm in this new year for the Universal Negro Improvement Association in its activities and in its program for the advancement of the cause of Negro humanity. I am going to ask His Grace the Assistant Chaplain General to come to the rostrum and swear each and every one of us to our faith and allegiance anew to the Universal Negro Improvement Association.

MAKES SUCCESSFUL REPORT ON THE WEST INDIES DRIVE ON GENEVA ENVOY FUND By A H MALONEY In response to the growing demand in several of the West Indies, Jones for the bestowal of a measure of representative government. Mr. Hurrell at the instance of the House of Commons, deputised by Mr. E. P. L. Wood accompanied by Mr. W. Wormby Moore M. P. and Mr. R. A. Wiseman of the Colonial Office to proceed to the West Indies and British Guiana on a mission of investigation. This commission spent two months from December 12, 1920 to February 14, 1922, in its work of inquiry. The places a questioned were Jamaica St. John's Nevis Antigua Dominica St. Lucia St. Vincent Harbadon, Grenada Trinidad Haiti Guiana and Trinidad again. Considerable interest attached to this commission as it was the first of its kind ever sent out to the West Indies and as such it represented a new departure in the administrative methods of the Colonial Office. The Major Findings The findings of the commission have been published by His Majesty's Stationary Office. Following is a summary of its contents. The various questions which were taken up have been conveniently grouped under five heads, the relative importance of which may be gathered from space allotted to each Questions, constitutional 31 pages economic 18 medical 3 educational 4 miscellaneous 14 The remaining eight pages are taken up with a diary of events a suggestion regarding housing accommodations and conveniences for officials, especially medical officers who are subject to periodic transfers and a very valuable paper contributed by Dr K. S. Wise, Surgeon-General of Trinidad, on "the possible unification of medical services Educational The report on this subject deals with two major propositions (1) The problem of the teacher and (2) the problem of the child. Regarding the teacher there is the problem of the denominational system of schools as against the government schools. Under the former there is a general lowering of standards, due mainly to economic causes. The schools are frequently ill-built. Ill-equipped and unsanitary. Their Boards of Managers are generally clergymen who have no educational experience, the teachers are seldom provided with living quarters, as is the case usually with the government schools; pay, in some instances, is regarded as miserably inadequate; and pensions in all cases are brought under the same charge (the maximum pension attainable by a fully qualified teacher in Jamaica after 40 years' service is only £34 a year). The problem of the child uncover's many social questionns of vital interest. The report lays bare a general statement that more than half—in some colonies over 70 per cent.—of the children are illegitimate. This statement is made to support the claim that parental control and responsibility are unenforceable, and therefore compulsory education as a policy is difficult of enforcement. I think that a little explanation would take the sting out of a bald statement like that illegitimacy in the West Indies is not the same thing socially as illegitimacy in England or America. In the West Indies social consensus is on the side of marriage only when the groom has provided a home of his own (property) into which to take his wife at the time of marriage. It is not so in the latter places. --- ```markdown ``` NOT CE After dealing with the patent office officials at Washington, D.C.

Economic pressure has destroyed the balance between the procurement of property and the period of conjugate relationship, and social adjustment has to keep pace with this economic shift. Men are therefore driven by nature to commute relations with their consorts without recourse to the marriage ceremony, and out of these relationship offsprings are born. In the vast majority of cases these relationships continue through life so it could not correctly be said that the problem of parent control bears any vital relation to the ratio of legitimacy in a section of the world. Another question affecting the child is the curriculum. The finding of the commission was dependence upon English models and English publications is the rule. There is so much local history so much of interest in the local natural history agriculture etc that should be easy to produce a good West Indian Reader. The commission also recommends the addition of hardwork agriculture domestic economy hygiene and practical nature study to the list of subjects taught in the primary schools. The West Indian Medical Conference Medical Services To the average American reader the subject discussed under this head would not be entirely intelligible unless it be explained that the people are served under the government by a system of District Medical Officers in the pay of the government some of whom are allowed to engage in private practice also. The salaries of these officers range from £312 in some of the groups in the Windward and Leeeward Islands to £600 and allowance of £150 which obtain for instance in Trinidad. The findings and recommendations of the commission are based mainly on the report of the West Indian Medical Conference of 1920, which met in British Guiana. Their report called for provisions 1 Regulating the matter of leave of absence at stated intervals for medical officers 2 Regulating the procedure of promotion in the service 3 Regulating the matter of interchange and transfer of medical officers from one colony to another 4 Regulating the matter of means whereby the advice can be had of officers specially qualified in matters relating to medical and sanitary organizations. The commission recommended also an increase in the salaries of matrons and other principal nurses to a minimum of £250 per annum. Transportation Under this caption a sensory description is given of the ups and downs of the sugar industry, the lime industry of Dominica, the problem of steamship and telegraph communication, the matter of currency, and the question of agricultural banks. As regards the sugar Industry which is the economic backbone of the colonies the problem presents itself in very acute form. The sudden drop from the boom prices prevailing during the war has all but crippled the industry. To this add the falling off in the demand for rum the most important by-product of the industry, due to prohibition in the United States, the cutting off of this trade with Germany and the low consumption in the United Kingdom due to the high rate of import duty and you have a picture of economic crisis prevailing in the colonies. For a remedy the West Indies have requested the doubling of the present rate of preference in the United Kingdom and the commission concurs. It is not at all unfavorably disposed to a grant-in-aid from the British Treasury in case the crisis leads to the closing of some sugar estates and the consequent lack of employment that might follow. Towards the close of this section the report reads "Finally, it is right to remember that the stability and progress of the West Indies are largely dependent upon the presence of a European element. The sugar industry, being pre-eminently one which cannot be carried on without a European staff to organise and direct the local labor, is the chief means of attracting and maintaining the European population. From the political, social commercial and imperial point of view it is vital that this element should be maintained, and this can only be done by preserving the sugar industry in those colonies where it still exists." For the rest of the report under the heading of economies little needs be said, as it deals mainly with descriptions of the various economic products of the West Indies with a few passing remarks on the present state of these industries. Of the list given cocoa, coconut, Sea Island cotton bananas, rice, petroleum and asphalt come in for special mention. Steamship Communication The question of steamship communication and that of telegraphic communication, questions of the first importance, were not overlooked. Regarding the former the report has this to say: "I should like to see a service instituted between Canada, the West Indies, British Gulana, and the United Kingdom . . . a direct service between Jamaica and Trinidad or Barbados." And it comments: "With regular, easy, frequent and cheap communications, many of the problems which now make the government of the West Indies difficult would be removed, and the assurance of such communications would do much to assist economic and political progress." Regarding the matter of the government's promoting the establishment of agricultural banks shallar to the Barbados Agricultural Bank, made possible for that colony by a grant in 1897, which we regard as reasonable, the commission has nothing to say in favor of the proposal using an argument the present condition of THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 1922 Back Up Their Sentiment and Fidelity with Cash and Subscriptions, on Quoto for the League of Nations Mission BY J JACKSON TILFORD CHICAGO III Aug 28 - Two thousand eager and anxious members and visitors rowed the old Olivet Temple where the Chicago Division held its regular Sunday afternoon mass meetings to hear about the L. A. Enniston and the mission in the League of Nations. The great throng was thrown into much joy and merriment when their own president, the Hon. W. Kirby, who had been sent from the convention floor as a special representative of the parent body on the League of Nations fund came in unexpectedly and unannounced President Kirby was given a warm five minutes reception of handshaking and greetings after which the Legion gave three roping cheers for their president and three more for the League of Nations envoys after which the Hon Miles Webb the acting president, called the meeting to order and the great crowd rose and sang From Greenland a Ice Mountains led by the splendid choir after which prayer was given by Chaplain Brown and chanting of the Lord's Prayer by the assemblage. Acting President Webb gave a very instructive talk on the arms and objects of the organization which was well received and many visitors were seen making their way to the secretaries, taking out membership. The Hon R S Peters a very brilliant and profound thinker gave an excellent talk on honesty in leadership His talk the United Kingdom financially due to the war Any summary of the constitutional status of the West Indies and British Guiana and the problems arising therefrom must presuppose a general understanding of the evolution of constitutional government in these colonies—an evolution which has brought to the fore a variety of peculiar types. The norm from which they seem to have grown up is 1. A legislative assembly composed of an official majority controlled by the governor, responsible to the Secretary of State, and 2. An unofficial element nominated by the governor Maryshaw's Work Just to have mentioned these is to indicate the cause for the persistent demands being made constantly upon the Home Government by wide-awake representatives of the colonies. The case of the fight of Grenada, led by the Hon. T Albert Maryshaw in which Lord Milner approved of the principle of elective representation in the makeup of the Legislature of that colony, is still fresh on the mind of us all. What Grenada has succeeded in securing theoretically in what the others are now demanding. And one does not have to go far to find the underlying causes for this demand. The sentiments of democracy stimulated by the war, the rapid spread of education, the return to the colonies of men who went to Europe and America to gain education and economic emancipation—have all made their contribution We are not in accord with the opinion of the commission when the report says: 'It is probably true that the deliberate demand for elective representation among the West Indian communities is far less substantial than its champions would profess.' In this case the wish is father to the thought. The commission found groups, well organized, that are opposed to the extension of the franchise. That is to be expected. There are always reactionary groups (groups that fatten upon the system) which would stand in the way. In every case the commission spared no pains in seeking out such groups and reporting their attitude. In every colony at the head of the list is the governor and those who make up the existing system. In St Kitts-Nevis there is added to this enterie the Agricultural and Commercial Society. In Antigua the commission says the demand came only from certain elements in the community) and those not the most substantial. In Trinidad the group opposed to reform was made up of the Chamber of Commerce the Agricultural Society and a deputation of East Indians. In every case (with the exception of the East Indian deputation in Trinidad) organizations representing interested interests were opposed to change. In the case of the one exception it was a matter of social cause rather than of politics and economics. It is amusing to note with what ease the commission brushes aside the stubborn demands of the progressive forces in all the colonies. It is clear that the commission had in mind the fixed intention of holding intact the matter of ultimate control in the hands of the government everywhere. In some cases, notably in Dominica, a change was advocated, but not after a carefully worded provision. I think it should be made clear from the outset that an official majority must be assured in the council. Like a musical refrain the substance of this sentence recurs in every instance where the commission, out of sheer pressure of circumstances, had to advise reform measures. A very significant sideline is cast upon British Colonial policy in the commission's description of the status of representative government in Barbados. It says: "Although, in theory, the Secretary of State through the Governor is still responsible for the government of Barbados, it is in fact in the hands of the House of As- was logical and practical and was well received by the great throng The choir rendered many beautiful numbers and their singing was greatly enjoyed by all The writer spoke about ten minutes on the spirit of racial tolerance after which the Hon W H Kirchy was introduced as the speaker of the afternoon and gave a very learned talk in his usual singular manner and electrified the house with his pointed facts and concrete truths Dr Paase pleased the audience in his usual manner speaking on paying the price of liberty Sunday Night Meeting The Sunday night meeting which was held on Liberty Lot under the big tent where in the very near future will stand the Chicago Liberty Hall was packed to the utmost. The U N I A band gave a splendid concert interspersed by a short talk by the writer off. The Nugro Press, and the main speech of the evening, by President Kirby in which he discussed at length the mission of the U N I A enjoys bringing the crowd in their feet many times with his eloquence. At the close of the meeting the great throng rose and sang the grand old anthem Ethiopia, the Land of Our Fathers with emotion and telling effect. The crowd then filed out feeling as though they had made another great stride for the redemption of Africa and the real freedom of a great people. seemly that political power lies, since without their consent the Governor is powerless to carry either votes of money or legislation. Historically socially and politically, Barbadon is poles awasuer from St Vincent and St Lucia. In these Windward Islands there is a considerable colored and Negro peasant proprietary such as does not exist in Barbados, where the land and industry are almost exclusively in the hands of European large proprietors. Simple as this statement seems to have a thorough grasp of its import is to understand the fundamentals of British Colonial policy. A very interesting paragraph is devoted to arguments for and against the question of West Indian Federation—a question which will not down, and regarding which it is indeed unfortunate that public opinion in the colonies maintains so indifferent and lukewarm an attitude. Conclusions The commission's report closes with a recommendation that such commissions be sent out periodically for the psychological effect they would tend to produce upon the colonies. It reads: "It (such visits) impresses upon them a feeling of common interest in the mother country by removing that sense of isolation and even of neglect which has been sometimes prevalent in the past. To persons generally familiar with affairs in the West Indies and British India there is nothing new in the report. The proposal and recommendations are trite and obvious. And the grim determination on the part of the Department of the Secretary of State for the Colonies to retain governmental control is also obvious. Such a policy will remain in force though challenged, just so long as the related interests and the reactionary forces in the colonies hold away. THE NEGRO AND MUSIC THE NEGRO AND MUSIC Part VI Although I have clearly explained in my previous articles also eiting many facts why the Negro should not hold himself to the slave song standard in the field of musical art and although I have pointed to his drawbacks and the way for greater musical development there yet remains another substantial fact which I could not refrain from mentioning in brief, in these my closing remarks and that is the opinion of B. colledge Taylor upon the question (I say in brief, as it is my intention to write in detail the achievements of great musicians of the Negro race at which time I will comment more fully upon this gentleman.) Samuel Coleridge Taylor, though dead, holds the distinction of being the most cultured musician of his race. He was a man of the highest aesthetic ideals who sought to give permanence to the folk songs of his people by giving them a new interpretation and added dignity. In compiling his book 'Twenty: Four Negro Melodies, he has this to say The Negro melodies in this volume are not merely arranged on the contrary they have been amplified harmonized and altered to suit the purpose of the book. I do not think any apology for the system adopted is necessary. What Brahms has done for the Hungarian folk-music Dvorak for the Boheman and Grieg for the Norwegian I have tried to do for these Negro melodies. The plan adopted has been almost without exception that of actual melody has in every case been a tempo variation. The actual melody has in every case been inserted at the head of each piece as a motto. The music which follows is nothing more or less than a series of variations built on the said motto. Therefore, my share in the matter can be clearly traced, and must not be confounded with any idea of 'improving' the original material any more than Brahms' variations on the Haydn theme 'improved' that."

Your editorial of Saturday the 5th inst. under Marcus Garvey's Move expresses a frightful feeling it shows that the unexpected development in the Garvey propaganda is creating apprehension in some minds. That he is a brave man we all realize following his career. If fortune favors the brave we should hope that a way may be opened to success for Marcus Garvey's efforts. So well sound a dissenting note from your editorial horn! If the cause is just and right he will win not of our will now. I am certain Garvey will not go to rob a white man and Negroes have lost much to act up many a white man Well! Let us give Marcus a chance and turn our attention to what Mr. Lord George is saying about the universal fire that is kindling. I am not a bear, but I like fair play and The heart that is not moved with what he trades That takes not fire at heroes deeds I unworthy of the blessing of the brave is based unkind and born to be a slave Thanking you for space I am at D T B U H A N A For Antonio August 7 1920 Another View Expressed The Editor Mr. In your leader of Saturday a date you endeavored to praise and criticize the attitude of Mr. Marquis Harvey, president of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, most if not all of his attitudes. You wrote that. He is a dealer in words, in promises in spectacular appeal. He has accomplished nothing, for those of whom he claims to be the leader, but the hope of something great delights them far more than would the achievement of something small however concrete it might happen to be. They have up to now preferred the vision splendid of a great Negro empire to dividends in the Black Star Line. Whether such statements will be convincing to the readers of your journal or not I do not know. But it is wise to say that the believers of the system have not united themselves merely for financial gain. The Negro has been able to see and to know that to achieve anything of importance he must be united in large numbers. He knows that so long as he remains scattered and united in the West Indies and North and South America he can have no consideration from the powers that he. He realizes that he fought in the recent war to assist white democracy and not to foster black democracy. He realizes that as long as he remains alone he will be the serf peon and slave of the present organized nations and for these and several other reasons he is quite prepared to help to make his race a power socially financially industrially, economically and politically look to honest leadership such as that of Mr. Marcus Harvey and others and if the Black Star Line fails he is willing to contribute to something else. In short he is fully prepared to do the last to make his race a factor to be recognized. We may scott at Mr. Garvey a idea of petitioning the League of Nations for a slice of Africa which as you rightly or wrongly said, a not there to give but have the European possessors of Africa any right to their possessions there! I think not. It is all well to enter a weak man's home under presence of educating him and Christianizing him then turn him out of doors later on or use the sword on him to dispossess him of that which he by right has. Africa is the Negro country as much as Europe is the Europeans and if you say Europe for the Europeans or Asia for the Asiatics then we answer holdly Africa for the Africans. We need not both possess a desire that carries a value of nothing. Of course he has and if he were to of Negro melodic which by the way are taken from Africa America and the West Indies are extremely gratifying and are not only in keeping with the Negro of today, but mark that higher intelligence accumulated by the Negro during years of progress. It is said of one of these songs which was gathered from the Ba Ronga District on the borders of Delagoa Bay South Africa, that it is certainly not unworthy of any composer from Beethoven downward In the enward march of progress the Negro has evolved upon a new and higher plane of human affairs whether they be science, art literature or music. His eyes are open to behold the dawn of a new era pregnant with possibilities and full of hope. He is determined that nothing shall deter him from his objective. He shall not be dragged backwards and the velocitudes of life through which he has passed shall not only be history but be regarded as milestones in the march towards his goal 'The old adage of "Bervants obey your masters" will make of you nothing more than a servant. Therefore in conclusion I say let us march on. On to the highest heights of human development We have had the experiences of a hundred battlefields. Let us convert them into grand marital strains which shall ring from a thousand bands and fire us to do or die. We have seen life and all its tragedies. Let us convert them into operas and draw out of our men and women that genius which is so latent within them. Our souls are receptive to nature and all its beauties. The singing of birds, the trickling of the brook, the blooming of flowers and the grandeur of the landscape. Let it give outburst in music, a new music born of a free being, free in mind, free in body and free in soul. return to the subject I will point out his successes. I, however advise that you as editor of a great journal will put prejudices aside, and make the kind of study of (many) and the 'N' I A as that you make of the Jamaica Imperial Association so that when you return to the subject you will be able to give your readers more true faits of Garveyism. Believe me that Garveyism has come to say. They may imprison Mr Garvey they may kill him but the spirit of his movement will not only remain among his present flock but will add greatly to the number. Hay what you like do what you will we believe strongly in Garvey we love him we honor him.

But whilst I think and whilst I plan it will mean nothing unless I can have your cooperation as exhibited in the amounts that you place in the collection basket. This is a splendid time to start tonight the first night after the rating of the con- vention. I am eager to hear what will be announced in the collection plates tight after it is all over. That is going to be the test of what you are going to do throughout this year and in conclusion I ask you in all seriousness to rededicate yourselves to this great program, promise your con- sciences and your God that you mean to do your full duty by us this year and by the help of God we propose to do our full duty by you (Applause) $IR LEROY BUNDY 8PEAK$ Bir Leroy Bund) First Assistant President (general said) I assure you that I am at the point where I am lost for material to talk about in Liberty Hall for a short time at least. I have talked from the rostrum and from the floor for more than thirty days, and I feel that you are about as tired of hearing me talk as I am tired of talking. Yet it is only a few days since I have been installed in office—a few days since I have assumed the mantle of responsibility which I shall carry throughout this coming year with the hope of doing something constructive with material worth for the great organization Must Get Down to Real Business The time of excitement the time of propaganda and the time of bombard in the life of this organization are now past. The time has come when we must now get down to real concrete solid constructive business. Talk won't put this program over, and I realize that this year more than any other time in the life of this great organization we shall be put to one of the most severe tests in the history of this organization, and I realize that the officers who must lead this great more them must be prepared to meet the obstacles, meet the hindrance and meet all that confront us from within and without with the determination to bring back to the next convention which convenes in 1923 in the month of August, the best report and the great set victory that this organization has yet received. Not at All Discouraged Rebukae Negro Leadership These fat-headed overfed Negro leaders, who are the puppets of the other race, have about worn out my patience when they expect the race to follow when as a matter of fact we know and they know that the only objective that they have is that which lies in self and works to the end of keeping the Negro race forever the footstool of other races. I have lost my patience with all kinds of Negroes who are always trying to shine in the light of some other group of people. Do you know the reason why His Excellency Ron Marus Garvey is so unpopular with some of the other group? It is because he is a chosen leader of the Negro people by Negro people. Why Marcus Garvey is Unpopular He is unpopular because he is trying to teach the program of independence to the Negro people of the world. The reason for the unpopularity of Negro leaders who try to teach the Negro peoples of the world the doctrine of self determination and independence because we have been used for thousands of years as the burden bearers the hewers of wood and drawers of water for the other fellow and now that an effort is being made by you or by our leaders to place ourselves upon an equal footing with other races and other people we are met with stern opposition. When I find a Negro leader very popular with the other group I do not have much confidence in him because my friend a Negro leader cannot serve two master; he cannot either be a leader of Negroes for Negroes and by Negroes or he must be a white folk a bigger Applauser. We cannot do the two things at the same time. What Have They Done? I want to know from you five thousand people here who perhaps know more than I do, what big constructive things that the Negro leaders in the past have done (Cries of Nothing in our condition is deplorable in these United States and in every country of the world where Negroes live except in black republics. And there is a reason for that. I look around about me here in Harlem where it is said there are 180 000 Negroes and in this great black belt of the United States I do not find a single industrial and commercial monument built by the leaders of my race. As long as you are poor as long as you have nothing and have to beg the other race for what you eat and what you wear and for your positions and your jobs how long do you think it will take you to redeem Africa. The first thing we have to do as a race is to go out here and take hold of these industries and these business houses and get them for ourselves, and make positions and places for ourselves and our children and have, as a result of these businesses, a bulwark of economy in order that you may successfully carry on whatever program is necessary. A Serious Proposition The redemption of Africa is a serious proposition you cannot talk about the redemption of Africa and redeem it if you cannot make a lot of money and have it has got to be done by sacrifice and suffering and hard work. I look around here and see the Jews and Greeks who can hardly speak the English language doing a flourishing business and simply asking in money from Negroes. Why is it that we are so inconsistent and so unstable in not using our money for the advancement of our own people? Why is it that we want industries operated by our people suffer here in New York? I do not believe you are right at heart if you walk by the industries of your own people and give your money to the other fellow of course, some of you excuse yourself by saying that often they have not got what you want but I have looked at the progress of the Greek and the Italian. They set up a little business among their people with just a few things and yet to the members of their race will go in and buy what he has instead of going to somebody else and by and by you will see that Greek or that Italian expanding and in a while they have a big lucrative business. Therefore I say to you that if the Universal Negro Improvement Association has anything in its stores or industries that you can possibly use go there and get it and it will not be long before you can have in that store all that you want. Our people must be educated to the point where we have confidence in our own, we must give our professional men the opportunity to use the knowledge they have acquired, our doctors and lawyers should get the patronage which we now give to members of the other race. The Great Test In conclusion I want to say that this year is going to prove many things. It is going to prove whether or not the changes that we have made in the official heads are for the best or for the worst. This year is going to prove whether or not we are able as an organization to withstand the onslaughts of the enemy. I want to say that as your servant that every hour and every moment of my existence shall be given up in the interests of this organization and in the interests of the people of my race wherever they may be, whether in this country, in the isles of the sea, or in Africa. Every moment of my time and all of my energy and ability shall be devoted to taking care of the interests that you have placed so sacredly in my keeping. There are a lot of prognosticators who are forecasting what is going to happen this year as the result of the new official staff; but I want to say that when I took the oath of office I buried my individuality, my personality, and in its stead I put the service of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and the Negro peoples of the world, and I join hands with the President-General of this great movement and to say that it matters not what differences may come when this old ship rides into port on the 51st day of August, 1822, scarred by battles, scarred by the combat of the In Your City, Town or Village THE OBJECTS OF THE ASSOCIATIONS ARE The objects of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities' League shall be to establish a Universal Confraternity among the race; to promote the spirit of pride and love, to reclaim the fallen; to administer to and assist the needy, to assist in civilizing the backward tribes of Africa; to assist in the development of Independent Negro Nations and Communities, to establish Commissionaries or Agencies in the principal countries and cities of the world for the representation and protection of all Negroes, irrespective of nationality; to promote a conscientious Spiritual worship among the native tribes of Africa, to establish Universities, Colleges, Academies and Schools for the racial education and culture of the people; to conduct a world-wide Commercial and Industrial Intercourse for the good of the people; to work for better conditions in all Negro communities.

Who knows but that the present strife between Turkey and Greece may bring about the mightiest conflict known to mankind an occidental or oriental war.

LOVELY WOMAN" Negro women as a rule among the narrow minded men of the race are blamed for its predicament of today in the world. Every woman is a damant to the protection of her race men. How the females of the species are sold for the mere pittance of two-bits cheaper than that. In the days of the white master things were outlined in a different manner an heir was born in the colony area in the mansion making his wife the matress of the barem. The time has come now a man then to awaken the racial connoisseur of love pride and protection of our women. Are there any one among you that are willing to sacrifice your life for a purer womanhood? You have branded us placed us in a cattle car on the auction block to the highest bidder, and still you clamor for a纯 womanhood. Any black man that has the audacity) to preach such doctrine when he has done naught to encourage such a rotten and not fit to live. When you wake as men and shoulder the whole, as other man do toward the purity of the race, then, and only then, may you talk. Are you cognizant of the fact that your Black Eyes have the ideals and desires as other Eyes? some of us are weak. I will admit, so are you. Do your duty as men and then there will be no cause for the other side to preach birth-control among the black women such they are doing. They see that you are weaklings. This is a white man's country you have done nothing to show except being a slave and enslaving your women to the wiles of this creature. You have no one to blame but yourself. Do you seek to give your women any pleasures of this world? Yes, if you give her a home she has to look out for restraint which some of you don't think is necessary. As I said before we have our desires also Some of the mercenaries are so busy playing Uncle Tom looking into the blue eyes of Little Mass Eva they fail to see the wants of the Black Eva Some of them are building their own funeral pyres and don't know it. Do not be herate the back women because you have not made good as men Come out from behind their skirts, face your problems and the good women of your race will help you be men. We have the back men that are loyal upright and true if it was not for those men life would not be worth living. They have the respect for mother and sister the world over Men that would rather live heroes and die sacrificial deaths than to Crucify their own women. KATE FENNER 1382 Oakville Bt Denver Co A PATRIOT'S CREED NO. 2 With boasting, is not patriotism. Observation celebrations and pompous displays of the flag over neglected veterans is not patriotism. What a patriotism! It is an inspiration a deep desire and firm purpose to love justice to long for the right to cherish freedom liberty and the purport of happiness to reserve God and to love by the golden rule to pity the suffering and oppressed to assist the weak to wage relentless war against slaves in all forms to exercise courage in intelligent convictions, to support truth righteousness and honor to avoid error to destroy prejudice to receive new thoughts with gladness toigate against stagnant conservatism to educate toward progress and the enlightenment and uplift of all humanity to suffer to die, if needed in the just and worthy cause to level inequalities of condition and to elevate human rights above the rights of humanity to encourage manhood and and glorify womanhood, to sanctify parenthood and childhood above the parity dollar to appreciate nature and admire art to seek wisdom, to cultivate the mind to emulate high ideals and the noble deeds of the world to honor father and mother to love wife and child and friend, to make a happy home, to inspire hope to see the calm beyond the storm, to dawn behind the night. To see through the mists of this martial age the mind of the infinite evolution writing the code of universal peace. The fatherhood of God, motherhood of nations and brotherhood of all mankind. This is the supreme task of civilization. The end test demand of every race. Everything is included to this end-government education commerce and industry. This is the creed of true patriotism.

MRS KATE FENNER 1385 Oceola St. Denver, Colo THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 1922 EL PROBLEMA DE RA- ZAS EN CUBA Siempre he tenido afan 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 un ultimo libro, intitulado "La Cuestion de Color en las dos Americas". Por tal motivo, una invitación para hablar acerca de la vida que el hombre negro lleva en mi patria, en Cuba, en conexión con el blanco no podía ser desdenada, sino tomada en consideración vía si se quiere con motivos de alta gratitud. Por eso estoy aqu. compartiendo la dichitultosa labor que el muy honorable Marcus Garvey ha emprendido para mejoramiento del Negro El Gran Exito de Nuestra Tercera Convención Internacional—La Nueva Administración Que Regirá Los Destinos de Nuestra Organización Ha Sido Tácticamente Elegida—El Poder de Esta Organización Augura Un Futuro Resplandeciente Para Nuestra Raza en General Mas entrando a traatar el tema objeto de mi conferencia dire Existe un problema racial en los países de hispano-america y singularmente en Cuba, que es el país a que voy a referirme en esta ocasion Tienen los negros cubanos el fantasma de la discriminacion por los blancos en su suelo? Si existe, es en igualdad de circunstancias al problema planteado en los Estados Unidos de Norte America? Nuestra tercera Convención Internacional de los Pueblos Negros del Universo ha clausurado sus sesiones, habiendo demostrado un gran éxito y rendido un gran servicio trascendental en lo que respecta al futuro de la raza. En el curso de sus sesiones aquella magna asamblea de Negros, por medio de su tacto intelectual, obtuvo el poder de eliminar del seno de nuestra organización, los traidores a la causa de nuestra emancipación Voy a contestar el cuestionario que antecede. Si existe en todo hispano-américa, especialmente en Cuba y en las republicas donde la influencia política, economica o industrial de los Estados Unidos prepondera, un problema racial latente, sintendido en estos tiempos mas intensamente, como consecuencia del secular juicio norte americano contra la raza negra. Ahora bien, si el problema en esencia es el mismo, ofrece caracteres distintos, de ahí que la medicina buena para combiar el mal en los Estados de la Union Norte Americana, sea indecuada para curarlo en Cuba por ejemplo. De esta diferenciación surge la idea en ocasiones de que en hispano-américa no hay problemas raciales. Afrimo que existe; pero que es necesario, al igual que en los terrenos mineros, raspar la capa de tierra vegetal para sacar de sus entranías luego el preciado metal denunciado. Unas veces este prejudicio es tan sutilmente disimulado, como una alfombra tendeda en la boca de un abismo, para que alguien al pisaria perezca, en el y otras veces, como en el año 1910. en la Republica de Cuba es tan pronunciado, que parece impossible que sentimientos tan malsanos puedan ser albergados por corazones humanos, para otros humanos. La raza en general tendrá la oportunidad de entender y apreciar la ardua labor realizada por los delegados y diputados al gran conclave, al remover de nuestras filas elementos perniciosos, quienes por meses y meses han creado obstaculos en el camino de nuestro progreso, colocando a nuestro movimiento en el ridiculo v la crítica de la opinion pública, por medio de sus actos y la conducta observada en distintos puntos del país Empezamos de nuevo con la edición de un programa aumentado y corregido, con hombres y mujeres preparados para un servicio efectivo, de carácter y reputación reconocidos hombres y mujeres determinados a emplear sus abilities y energías en defensa de la causa que les ha sido encomendada. Disponiendo de este nuevo elemento iremos felizmente adelante con el convencimiento de rendir servicios, por medio de la cooperación que la raza nos proporcione La Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra cual avalancha prepotente no ha de reconocer barreras ni obstáculos que en lo sucesivo traten de interceptar su paso en el camino hacia la realización de sus principios Ella aparecerá como una estrella de primera magnitud en la gran constelación del movimiento universal. He de hacer un bosquejo de la situación del negro cubano y poner de manifiesto la personalidad del hombre blanco de mi país. Para esta labor solo me amarcaron sus notas originarias que integran en parte el Libro "The Color Question in the Two Americas" que acaba de publicar en ingles en la ciudad de Nueva York Nuestra Convención de Agosto ha demostrado al mundo que nuestra organización es lo suficientemente fuerte para protejerse a su misma, al considerar el sinnúmero de conspiraciones planteadas en su contra, pero esta se levanta de su tercera Convención Internacional revestida de un poder mas prepotente aún y en la convicción de disponer de la confianza del elemento conciente de nuestra raza Un Partido Politico Que Va a la Revolución Terminada la guerra de Independencia, 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 aprestaron para distrutar de los beneficios que a título de fieles servidores, la República podía otreceries un embargo tropezaron con una muralla tan infranque como la historia de la ciudad de China, es solo se les admitía en las esferas bugernamentales, en puestos de inferior categoria. Los puestos de gerarquia superior eran ocupados por los blancos y auñ en los inferiores, como los puestos de policía y en el ejercito, no eran admitidos para simples plazas de detectives o saldados, hombres, de piel negra. Para los negros los puestos de la administración estaban clausurados. Es cierto que hubo por entonces en la Camara de Representantes un reducir número de congresses de color; pero la nominación de tales elementos obedeció al gran clamor de protesta producido por el decontento de la raza negra. As las cosas desenvelló la vida pública del negro cubano entre obstaculos y prejuicios, surgio la figura del General Evaristo Estenoz, hombre sino de preclara inteligencia, si battallador, activo, civico e infatigable. Este emprendido la ardua tareca de asociar a los negros en forma política. Su campaína inicial, no desprovista 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 campaína cada vez más intensa del caudillo Negro, aprestaronse a defenderse de un imaginario ataque, imaginario, porque es necesario advertir, a despecho de historiadores passionistas, que la campaína del General Estenoz no fue una campaína violenta contra la vida de la población blanca. Fue sólo una campaína política encausada y constituaida por elementos de una raza que buscaban mas progresivas orientaciones en la vida pública de su país, más respeto y consideración, de acuerdo estos últimos con los derechos que habían conquistado al sacrificarse generosamente, al igual que el blanco, por la independencia del país. Bajo la dirección de nuestra nueva administración tenemos el presentimiento de la resolución de grandes problemas, los cuales nos afectan directamente. La comisión elegida por la Convención para representar a nuestra raza en la Liga de Naciones ha salido con destino a Europa. La voz v el sentimiento de nuestra raza repercutirán en el seno de aquella asamblea. Demandamos ante ella, las actuales posesiones alemanas del Africa, el Camerqons v el Togoland. Si hoy no obtenemos nuestra demanda, será simplemente una cuestión de tiempo cuando los cuatrocientos millones de Negros declaren por completo la independencia del continente africano Los pueblos de nuestra raza en el universo entero han de revestirse de cierto grado de determinación para llevar avente el gigantico programa que hemos declarado en nuestra tercera Convención Internacional, el cual hemos de solucionar a toda costa Nuestra Diputados y Delegados regresarán de nuevo a sus respectivos hogares con nuevo vigor, con nuevo valor, con nueva determinación para continuar en la lucha por la realización de nuestro ideal, constituyéndonos en poder tal, que demuestre a los traidores la imposibilidad de contraestar nuestro movimiento Todos y cada uno de los que ocuparon puestos en la Convención se pusieron en contacto con individuos, que de otro modo no hubieran podido entrar en relación. Dicho contacto en sí fue un verdadero rasgo de educación. Ninguna escuela, colegio ó universidad nos hubiera dado en el corto periodo de treintiun días, mayores ideas, mayor inspiración, que las que obtuvimos durante el gran conclave de Agosto. Los representantes se separarán y partirán con sentimiento; sinembargo, abrigamos la esperanza de verles reunidos de nuevo en el próximo año, reportando el éxito obtenido por medio de nuestro nuevo entusiasmo. Ellos llevarán a sus respectivas comunidades el espíritu de alegría, esperanza y buena fé, habiendo sido este el sentimiento nuestra magna reunión. República, cuyo ejecutivo lo representaba entonces el también General del Ejército Libertador Sr. Jose Miguel Gumé, aparente prestar su apooy moral a las demandas que el partido de Estenoz hacia, demandas que se concretaban al reconocimiento 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 practica. Este aparente apoyo gubernamental, dio mayor fuerza, mayor vigor y prestigio al movimiento político de la raza de color cubana. Esta llega a vislumbrar en lontananza la consecución de sus ideales, creyo que la hora de su invelación 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 Republica, formulados por el gobierno, los directoros del Partido Politico Independiente constituto por Estenoz, fuimos encarcelados y confinados durante varios meses en las carceles de la Republica (como que en realidad, a virtud de las investigaciones practicadas por aquella epoca, no se descubrió nada que determinar una conspiración contra la seguridad del Estado, ni la estabilidad del gobierno, los tribunales de justicia de la Republica dictaron meses después autos de terminación en el proceso, sobreseyendolo provisionalmente y ordenando la libertad de los que permaneciamos en prison Mas no por este rudo golpe se de sanimaron los dirigentes del Partido Negro, el sacriicio de su privación de libertad les estimulo para la lucha y esta acrescentu y tono arraigo en todas las provincias de la Isla, constituyendo para el gobierno que en principio haba aparecido consentir y apoyar tal movimiento una seria preocupación ya que con mayoría abrumadora el partido del General Estenzo haba concentrado a su alrededor la mayor suma de los elementos que integran dicha raza en la Isla. Por otra parte, la población blanca empezaba a inculpar al Presidente de la Nación por su passidad en refrenar aquel movimiento que conceptuaban no politico, sino atentatorio a la supremacia que por derecho ditimo la raza blanca de todos los paises civilizados cree debe ejercer sobre la negra Ya en este plano, el Ejecutivo del país empezo a actuar y actuo en tal forma, que por una Ley del Congreso, destruyo la existencia legal del "Partido Independiente de Color" y de factor político que resultaba ser, lo redujo a cero Un hombre de color precisamente, de cultura nada común, de clara inteligencia, pero con una visión obscura, según la mayoría de la raza negra cubrina del porvenir, de los de su especie, fue el autor de la Ley destructora del Partido Político, fundado por Evaristo Estenoz. Era a la sazon dicho caballero. Senador por la provincia de la Habana, habiendo ocupado también un puesto de Ministro de Agricultura en el propio gobierno del General Gomez. Se llamo en vida Martin Morua Delgado. No se concibe, a no ser por error en el concepto de apreciación o por intereses contrapuestos de política, como el Senator Sr Martin Morua Delgado podu ser autor de la Ley contra la existencia política de un partido de su taza. Los que no penetran en el fondo de las cosas diran. El Senator Morua Delgado se sintio ciudadano y no negro. A eso obedecio su Lev, pero los que no la juzgan por su brillo externo, sino por la penetración real y expecifica de la verdad, diran que un gran egosmo movil la mente del en muchos conceptos esclarecido hombre público cubano, no vendo que si el pulo vivir como ciudadano, millares de sus hermanos vivian como parias, en o su defecto, en su corazón mas la sombra que el jefe del Partido de Color podia hacerle en su carrera política, que el futuro de la raza negra de su patria. Pero sean cuales fueran los múltiles que impulsaron al Senator Morua Delgado a presentar su proyecto de Ley a la consideración del Congreso, la verdad inica es que ese proyecto convertido en Ley mas tarde, fue la chispa que prendio fuego a la revolución que inició mas tarde el "Partido Independiente de Color" Martin Morua Delgado no debió ser nunca autor de una Lev semejano. Esta hubiera venido, pero tanto la idea como la acción debieron dejarse a cargo de los congresistas blancos La repetida Lev, como antes se ha dicho, fue solo el motivo de la protesta armada que en 1912 estalló en la Republica de Cuba y que en el exterior repercutió a virtud del abultamiento de los cablegramas de la prensa partidarista, como un levantamiento general de los negros cubanos contra la población blanca. Núunca puede decirse afirmativamente, que el "Partido Independiente de Color" en Cuba se rebeló contra la población blanca. Se rebeló única y exclusivamente contra la "Ley Morua", destructora de su colectividad política. Pero estallada aquella para los negros fatal revolución, era indispensable al conglomerado blanco, tanto dentro como fuera del palis, hacer una opinión contraria a las causas que la habian inspirado y en general contra los perros que habian osado protestar contra la servidumbre política a que se les sometía. Fue entonces cuando todo el rescoldo, todo el odio, todos los ancestrales prejuicios, en fin, todos los sedimentos de aversion que la raza blanca siente por la raza negra en los países llamados civilizados, se manifestaron sin reticencias, sin miramentos. | Qué brillante oportunidad se les presenta a los que se consagran al estudio de estos problemas de raza¹ Mientras en los campos de la provincia de Oriente, en Santiago de Cuba, las ametalladoras de los soldados del gobierno segaban millares de vidas de hombres negros, no rebeldes, sino habitantes pacíficos de los pequeños pueblos del interior de la citada provincia, ya no cubanos, sino haitianos y jamaquinos, en las poblaciones de primer orden, en la propia capital de la Republica, los blancos armados hasta los dientes, conmiban a todo hombre negro a que se retirara de los sitos públicos bajo la amenaza de muerte y tan solo por el color de la piel se les remita a la carcel, acsandosele de rebelion. Se calcula en numero de cinco mil los negros que percieron asesinados por las fuerzas del gobierno en la funesta contienda de 1912 Desde luego que entre los millares de negras aseemados no podía faltar el asesinato del jeffe superior de la revolución, fundador del "Partido Independente de Color", así como su Lugar Tertiente, general también del Ejercito Libertador cubano, Sr Pedro Ivonnet Ambos jefes pagaron con el sacrificio de su vida, los ideales que abrigaron en defensa de su raza. Si algún egosimo hubo en los mismos, hubo también grandeza, la grandeza de los martires, pues lo fuerde de sus principios, de sus ideales y de sus enemigos, los blancos Esta ha sido y con variantes muy insignificantes, es la situación del negro cubano respecto a la población blanca nativa, este se diferencia del de este país en sus métodos, pero no en sus sentimientos, aquel tíende yestrecha la mano al negro obtener mayor suma de servicios, para ahogar su personalidad, toda vez que apareciendo su anigo, sabe que el negro no procurara crearse una personalidad independiente, sabe que sera siempre su esclavo moral, que no tendrá un competidor El metodo del de este pais es mas radical, mas agresivo, pero mas estimulante para el colectivismo negro. De alii que cuando el honorable Marcus Garvey visitara nuestra Isla, en la recepción acordada por el "Club Atenas", el Presidente de aquel distinguido centro social expresara sus simpatias por el movimiento que persigue esta organización, agregando que felizmente para los cubanos, constituyan tal ideales una hermosa realidad. Fue esta una expresión del Presidente del "Club Atenas". Dr Céspedes, una expresión hija del medio ambiente que se respira después del fracaso de la revolución del "Partido de Color", porque en el fondo los negros cubanos necesitan, respecto al blanco, un movimiento salvador de su decoro, de su personalidad, de sus derechos, de los derechos conquestados no solo con las armas en la guerra de independencia, sino con las armas del saber, de la inteligencia, de la capacidad, de todo cuanto significa civilización Independencia de Las Filipinas Con Reservas Un gobierno filipino independiente, pero con la retención por los Estados Unidos de estaciones navales y commerciales en el archipielago de Mágallanes para la protección de sus intereses en el Oriente, adquiridos desde la ocupación de las Filipinas, fue defendido en un discurso pronunciado por el señor Manuel Quezón. El señor Quezón y el senador Osmana, jefes del movimiento independentista, en los primeros-descursos que han pronunciado después de su regreso de los Estados Unidos, encarecerieron la percepción y el intercambio de relaciones commerciales con los Estados Unidos y el establecimiento de un terreno común con los americanos al recomendar la adopción de una política permanente. Jóvenes Socialistas Piden Que España Abandone a Marruecos La Asociación de Jóvenes Socialistas de Madrid publicó un manifesto pidiendo la inmediata terminación de las hostilidades y el abandono de Marruecos. Dicha asociación demanda que sean repatriados los soldados y que se declare abolido el sistema de commuta del servicio militar. Pide la reducción del servicio militar a un año, que se disminuya en un cincuenta por cliente el número de individuos que prestan su servicio y que se cleiten las Academias Militares. Los Jóvenes Socialistas se proponen que estas recluciones sean tomadas en consideración. El Gobierno de Cuba Aprueba Reformas Económicas Noticias recibidas de Cuba indican progresos hacia una satisfactoria solucion. La confusión risultante de los numerosos problemas que se presentaron en el año último esta disipándose merced a la consolidación de las distintas opiniones que se expresaron sobre una solución posible, en un programa definitivo de legislación que se ha elaborado después de largo estudio y discusiones por los jefes del mundo económico y politico cubano, programa cuya ejecución se considera como un paso importante hacia la instauración de una adecuada y necesaria política de reconstrucción y reforma en la administración nacional En el programa se comprende la aprobación y observancia de cinco medidas fundamentales una ley prescribiendo la modificación de cuertas clausulas de la ley del servicio civil y la suspension de otras, lo que permitira al ejecutivo organizar rapida y encientemente todos los departamentos gubernativos y especialmente el servicio de percepción de ingresos y supervisión de gastos, una ley prescribiendo un sistema estricto de contabilidad oficial, una ley creando una comisión especial para la investigación y definición precisa de las deudas flotantes del gobierno; una ley poniendo en vigencia cuertas partes de la ley de procedimientos judiciales y facilitando la remoción de membros de la judicatura, una ley elaborada tomando como base el programa financiero recientemente propuesto por el secretario de Hacienda, senior Despainge, en que se prescribe la contratación de un emprestito extranjero para la liquidación de la deuda flotante, la iniciación de obras publicas, junto con la creación de nuevos impuestos para atender al servicio de esta deuda. La primera de estas medidas has sido ya aprobada por las dos camaras, y esta a estudio de una comisión conjunta para solucionar las diferencias impresas por el debate de cada camara. Es de esperarse que dentro de un corto plazo las medidas indicadas y que parecen ser vitalmente necesarias para llevar adelante la política de reconstrucción y reformas en gran escala, serán hechas leyes en forma satisfactoria. La ejecución adecuada de este programa legislativo, indudablemente tendrá considerable influencia no sólo en restablecer la tranquilidad y la confianza en toda la laisla, sino en la normalización y mejora de la situación economica. CORRESPONDENCIA Livingston, Guatemala, 1 de Agosto de 1922. A la Junta Directiva de la Asociacion Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra, Nueva York. Con todo el alma y en nombre de todos los que luchamos por nuestra querida patria, os rendimos el homenaje de nuestros vivos sentimientos, de nuestra gratitud eterna y nuestra sumisión hasta la muerte. El inmortal autor de nuestra organizacion, el honorable Marcus Garvey, por su extraordinario talento to su inmenso amor a la humanidad, representa a la vez en este mundo, un faro de vivisima luz para las inteligencias y una hoguera de influencia y constante piedad para los corazones cedientes de libertad y de justicia. El camino de la humanidad hacia el progreso no se obtiene por medio de los tiranos, sino por medio de los mártiles. MARTIN F. ZUNIGA. Tesorero de la División No. 36. El Espafiol Lengua Cultura Una intersante conferencia pronunciada por el profesor señor Solalinde en la universidad de Colombia en esta semana, establece de manera brillante el derecho de nuestro idioma a mantenerse en el respeto y el uso de los extraños, no sólo por su utilidad inmediata para fines prácticos, sino también por su enorme contribución al acervo de la cultura universal. La inclinación a utilizar los diomas como armas de penetración en un pala extranjero se presta demasiado a una generalización exagerada, para que haya de causar extrafleja la opinión, que no pocos comparten en este pals, de que la lengua castellana ofrece la unica utilidad de su aprovechamiento commercial en relación con los negocios de la Unión con España y Hispano América. Nada más aburdo y revelador de ignotancia histórica y artística. La lengua, do Castilla, tiene en la aportación del habla de los pnechos al tesoro cultural de la luminaidad, la ejecución más limpia, y la tradición más noble. Deada la altura de si siglos de esplendor alt rival, pi que no se ponle al sol en una estado, Españla la venida legando al monto un candel, limpie foral, descalifica, de remanimiento artístico, de mayormente espiritual, por placerio. par. La lista de los genios humanos se ha enriquecido con nombres de puro abolengo español y las cimbres del pensamiento que se ha expresado en el habla de Castilla han trazado un surco amortrable en la mente universal. Los millares y millares de estudiantes que en las cuatro partes del globo hoy en dia se ejercen en el uso de nuestro idioma, sin duda que obtendran de su dominio la llava para la penetración en el mundo de los negocios de los pueblos de nuestra raza; y no es ese pequeño incentivo para el auge de la enseñanza del español. Pero importa hacer constar, aunque solo sea preciso hacerlo para los no bien informadoo, que el español, sobre las condiciones de estrategia practica que lo convierten en lengua de excelencia sin rival para fines de mercantil actividad, ha pasado al través del tiempo, superior a las alternativas históricas de Espana, superior al engrandecimiento de naciones rivales, por su potencia inmaneente como vehículo de cultura de primera magnitud, como idioma excelso, lleno de méritos intrínacios, forma de forma usada para llevar al sentimiento de la humanidad un caudal inmejorable de nobles pensamientos y disciplinaria elevadas. Por esto, creemos que no hay razón alguna para los pesimismos que de vez en cuando se anuncian a causa de la reducción o estancamiento en el número de los estudiantes de español en este país. El idioma español tiene su parte única en el mundo de la cultura. Y mientras en el espiritu de la humanidad pese en toda su intensidad la riqueza cultural de nuestra lengua, ella se impondrá por el prestigio de su tradicion y por la fuerza de sus realidades que no necesitan del afianzamiento del utilitarismo comercial para triunfar —La Prensa, N, Y.
