The Negro World

Aegro World ONE GOD, ONE AIM, ONE DESTINY MARCUS GARVEY SENDS MESSAGE TO NEGRO PEOPLES OF THE WORLD ON WAR CRISIS The Indispensable Weekly The Voice of the Awakened Negro VOL. XIII. No. 6 MARCUS GARVEY PEOPLES The world is stirred once more with the news of battle. We have been informed of the great excitement in Europe over the defeat of the Greeks by the Turks. Mustapha Kemal has launched a new offensive which has unsettled the alleged peaceful repose of Europe—this disturbance after such able statesmen as Lloyd George, Clemenceau, Orlando and Wilson promised us a reign of perpetual peace. As a race we did not believe in the professions of these wiseacres, knowing full well that there can be no peace among men so long as the strong continue to oppress the weak; so long as injustice is done to other peoples, just so long will we have cause for war and make it impossible for us to have a lasting peace. Turkey was dissatisfied after the World War, and so are many other nations in Europe, as well as peoples throughout the world, dissatisfied. How can you expect to have peace, therefore, with a dissatisfied world? Among the dissatisfied peoples of the world are the four hundred million Negroes. We are dissatisfied because we have been pushed aside, we have been robbed, we have been exploited, we have been murdered even in our own homeland Africa, and so long as this state of affairs exist, so long will the dissatisfaction of humanity be the cause for war and rumors of war. In the threatened conflict between Turkey and the European powers we find Britain calling out to her Dominions for help, even as she did in 1914. The Anglo-Saxon world will naturally stand by itself, but the millions of Negroes who make up the control of alien races are determined to stand together now and henceforth as a united race. We shall neither go forward nor backward in defense of others, but we shall stand solidly for ourselves, for the freedom of our country Africa, and the emancipation of our race everywhere. The Negro has served all races and nations in the past without reward and without consideration. He is not prepared to do it any longer. We are determined to have a voice in world affairs; we are determined to have the last word when our liberties and lives are at stake, and A Newspaper Devoted Solely to the Interests of the Negro Race NEW YORK, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1922 SENDS MESSAGE OF THE WORLD REQUESTS ALL NEGROES TO STAND TOGETHER IF WAR COMES CHRISTIAN NEGRO SHOULD NOT FIGHT MOHAMMEDAN NEGROES THE FIGHT OF NEGROES IS NOT RELIGIOUS BUT POLITICAL now it seems as if the life of every Negro is to be jeopardized again, even as it was jeopardized in 1914-1918. The Negro has made no war, the Negro is making no war. When others make war and expect the Negro to fight, then they must give us good reason why before we march. The four hundred million Negroes of the world desire a free and redeemed Africa. This is the only condition on which the Negro will again shed his blood on behalf of any race or on behalf of any nation. If the Turk desires Constantinople, if England desires to clear the Turk out of Europe, then four hundred million Negroes of the world also have a desire, and that is that all alien races should vacate Africa, the Motherland of all Negroes. I now appeal to my race throughout the world to sink all petty differences at this time, when the war clouds threaten, for we know not when the next war will break forth. Some imagine that this new outbreak will be the precursor of a holy war; yes, that it will be the conflict between the Cross and the Crescent. The four hundred million Negroes of the world are not concerned in a holy war, even though millions of our race are members of the Mohammedan faith, and millions more are members of the Christian faith, yet we shall not foolishly go to war on a matter of religious belief or disbelief, especially when it is engineered by alien peoples. The fight of the Negro is not with religion; the fight of the Negro is with political injustice. Those of us who are Christians still believe in the Christ, and those of us who are Mohammedans will stick to the faith of Mohammed, and no one shall divide us. There- --- PRICE: FIVE CENTS IN GREATER NEW YORK SEVEN CENTS ELSEWHERE IN THE U. S. TEN CENTS IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES fore let us not make the mistake that we should fight a religious war, because between us as a people there is no difference in religion; we worship the same God, we hope to enjoy the liberties of the same heaven, so we will not antagonize each other simply because we are Christians or Mohammedans. The thing for us to do is to settle down with the one desire of freeing our common country, Africa. Not by religion, but by politics will Africa be free. Now more than ever is the time for every Negro to give undivided support to the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. We have preached preparedness for the last five years, anticipating the hour such as the one that is now approaching would come, when it would be necessary for all Negroes to stand together. Let us divide, therefore, no longer, but let us be of one mind, ready to live or ready to die in defense of the great principles of human liberty and human justice. We want your support, financially and morally. Let every Division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, as well as every member, rally to the assistance of the parent body at this time with all the financial help possible. Money is needed to put over the big program. Your $1, $2, $5, $10, $20 will help materially at this time. Our delegates in Europe must be cared for, our domestic program must be put over and we must still strengthen the forces of organization to combat the common enemy. Now, when others are lined up against us, suggests the time when every true and faithful member of the Universal Negro Improvement Association who believes in the ultimate triumph of the Red, the Black and the Green should stand forth as never before in a determination to see us through. Send in all the help you can, and do it now, addressed to the Universal Negro Improvement Association, 56 West 135th Street, New York City, N.Y., U.S.A. With very best wishes for your success have the honor to be DELEGATION OF NEGROES TO THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS MEETS GREAT SUCCESS LIBERTY HALL, New York, Sunday Night, September 17 The all-absorbing topic of tonight's meeting was the ongoing news relating to the success of the delegation sent by the Universal Negro Improvement Association, representing the Negro peoples of the world, to the Assembly of the League of Nations at Geneva, Switzerland, to present the claims of the Negro race for a mandate over those parts of Africa recently occupied by Germany Contrary to the expectations of the critics and enemies of the Association, that the delegation would merely occupy the position of a silent spectator from the gallery news coming direct from the delegates themselves, and augmented by reports published in the white press, indicate that the League of Nations has not only accorded our delegates a cordial welcome, but has given them a hearing from the floor and allowed them every opportunity to fulfill the mission on which they were sent The large audience in Liberty Hall tonight was greatly enthused over the success of the delegation and demonstrated their satisfaction by contributing liberally to the fund to meet the expenses of the delegates in Europe. Taking as his subject The Negro Attitude in the Next War 'Hin Marius Garvey comprehensively discussed the developments in the Far Eastern situation created by the conflict between Turkey and Greece and in clear, unmistakable terms issued a declaration to the world as to the and which the Negro would take in the impending crisis which seemed inevitable The Universal Negro Improvement Association, he said, had foreseen the situation four years ago, hence it was that it had started a world-wide universal pro-ganda to draw together into one great bond the 400,000,000 Negroes of the world in rendiness, and he declared with emphasis that when the conflict came Negroes would not be used as they had been in the past England he said, before the real round of battle has started to cry out for help from her dominations but that help shall include everybody else except the New Negro. 'We are on strike,' he said 'all over the world They may start their fighting over there but they may count on everybody we except the Negro, unless they are going to come across and deliver the goods before the Negro moves Mr Garvey was at his beat in denouncing the tactics which the British government was pursuing to invite the sympathy and help of her dominations in the event of war, and made a strong plea for greater unity among the race at this particular time, when the war-clouds of Europe are gathering "Go away," he concluded, and send the news to your friends throughout the length and breadth of the world to stand fast under the colors of the Red, the Black and the Green and not yield one inch until Africa is redeemed. Inspiring speeches were also delivered by Capt E. L. Gaines, Minister of Legion. Hon Vernal Willsams, Assistant Counsel-General, and Hon W. O. Symer, Commissioner for the States of Louisiana, Alabama and Mississippi. The addresses in full are appended below MON. MARCUS GARVEY SPEAK8 Before entering on the subject of his address, How Marcus Garvey reported progress of the delegation sent to the assembly, the League of Nations at Geneva, Switzerland, prefacing the report with an urgent appeal for contributions to the fund to defray the expenses of the delegates. A brief intermission was allowed during which a generous response was made to the appeal, and following this Mr. Garvey said. League of Nations Hears Our Dialogues We have a report coming from Geneva as published in the "Tribune" of New York. We have our own private communications, but cloaked people do not believe anything that comes from themselves. They are always disposed to doubt the veracity of anything that emanates or comes from themselves. But in this instance I am going to read to you not what comes from us but what comes through other channels and channels not very friendly towards us, and channels not very desirous of presenting us to the world in the proper light. You will therefore give them credit for publishing that part of the truth that they have finished tarnishing to satisfy their own desires as working in opposition to the organization. Every bit of news and facts relating to us is cut down and dressed up and tarnished before it goes to the public, because the opposition forces desire to place the Universal Negro Improvement Association in an unfavorable light. The article which I will read to you is a special article to "The Tribune," which they have copyrighted: "Geneva, Switzerland. Sept. 13.—A contingent of Negroes representing Marcus Garvey, Provisional President of Africa, appeared before the League of Nations today and demanded that it grant to the Negroes of the world a mandate for South Africa. The spokesman of the party were Jean Joseph Adam, a Haitian Negro, and Lee Van Sherrill, of New York. They declared that the Negroes would demonstrate their ability to run a government if the league granted them authority to do so. The New York spokesman said that the delegation was acting under the authority of the United Negro Congress, recently held in that city. The League Secretariat acknowledged the receipt of the petition." Now that proves that our delegates are not gone to California or to New Orleans or to Haiti, but in truth they have gone where we sent them. We sent them to the assembly of the League of Nations at Geneva, Switzerland, and sent them with them that they are very much there, insomuch so that the league gave them a hearing through Prof Adam and the Hon William Sherrill, whom you all saw during the convention. Mr Sherrill is the gentleman that we elected here as Second Assistant President-General and titular leader of American Negroes, and Prof Adam is the gentleman who came to us from San Francisco as the president of the San Francisco Division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. They were the spokesman before the league on the 12th of this month in behalf of the association in our demand for the turning over to us of the mandates affecting German Southwest Africa, German East Africa, and Togoland. The whole delegation is there but these gentlemen apoke before the league. They are in Europe at the right time—the psychological moment—and it is most likely, we have to keep them here longer than we anticipated. The Negro's Attitude in the Next War The Negro Attitude in the Next War My subject for tonight is *The Negro Attitude in the Next War*. I feel sure that each and every one within in the reach of my voice tonight realizes the seriousness of the hour. For four and a half years we have been preaching preparedness and organization among the Negro peoples of the world. We did not prophecy, we simply told them that the greatest of wars was yet to come and that there would be many more wars other than the great world war of 1914-18. We preached it from the hilltops we proclaimed it throughout the land. When Wilson of America, Lloyd George of England, Gleimaceau of France, Orlando of Italy and others met at the Versailles conference and other places in Europe and declared to the world that the war and that we were to have a reign of peace they knew well that they were camouflaging the people of the world. They knew well that they were saying what they did not believe. They knew well, if they had the vision of statesmen, that Europe was then in a worse political condition than she ever was in, and that at that time there were more grounds and reasons for war than prior to 1914. All sensible men all students of political science know then that Europe was but setting the stage for the greatest war of humanity—the greatest war of the ages. I am not saying that the war clouds of today will usher in the greatest war of the ages. I do not believe it; behind what is happening now will come that great conflict—that bloody war. And it was with the realization of that truth why we of the Universal Negro Improvement Association started a world-wide universal propaganda to draw together into one mighty whole—into one great bond—the 400,000,000 Negroes of the World in readiness. Preparing to Stand Together Not longer than a couple of weeks ago I told you that the news of war was in the wind—coming, coming, coming, and will soon be here. I told you that coming may mean a day or a week or a year or five years, but it is coming as sure as you live, as sure as there is a God that day is coming, and the Univer al Negro Improvement Association is preparing the minds of 50,000,000 Negroes to stand together, die together if we must die, but before that death there shall be an emancipated race, a redeemed Africa. Some Reflections on the Eastern Situation Mustapha Kemal has become the man to the hour, even as the Kaiser was in 1914. Around Kemal and his army the world revolves at this hour. The Kaiser laid the foundation for a changed Europe. Kemal is going to lay the foundation for a changed world, and the whole world is crazy if they think they are going to use Negroes now as they used them in the past (Great applause). England before the real sound of battle has started to cry out for help from her dominions. The help shall include everybody else except the new Negro. (Applause) Counting Without Their Hosts And not only England, but all the powers of the world will be counting without their hosts this time if they think they are going to use Negroes in 1892 and 1925 or 1930, as they used them between 1914 and 1918. Now, some of us are ready and willing to go to jail this time. (Cries of Yes! 'Yes') Negroes Are on Strike We have nothing to hide. We are on strike, that is all, all over the world. (Loud and prolonged applause.) They may start their fight over there, but let me tell them to count on everybody else except the Negro, except you are going to come across and deliver the goods before the Negro moves. We do not object to fighting, because we are not cowards; the world knows that; but, brother, we are going to fight fo. something, and you will have, because of the distrust that you have caused, through your own acts in the past, you will have to deliver the goods first. Sometimes in dealing with a man he credits you and trusts you upon your honesty and you dodge him and you make believe you do not remember him, and after he collects that first debt and you go back and want some more credit you have to pay in advance. Somebody will have to pay in advance this time, if you are expecting Negroes' help in any war between now and eternity. (Applause.) They have touched a hornets' nest. They have aroused the religious nutrition of $250,000,000 Mohamma- THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1922 Given a Cordial Welcome and Granted a Hearing From the Floor—Makes Demand for Mandate for Southwest Africa for Negroes of the World—Declares That Negroes Will Demonstrate Their Ability to Run a Government if Granted the Authority — League Secretariat Acknowledges Receipts of Petition From U. N. I. A. GARVEY DECLARES NEGROES' ATTITUDE IN THE NEXT WAR—SERIOUS CRISIS IMPENDING AS A RESULT OF PRESENT TURCO-GRECIAN CONFLICT—NEGROES ARE ON STRIKE AND WILL NOT FIGHT UNLESS THEIR DEMANDS ARE GRANTED—UNITY IN THE RACE NEEDED NOW MORE THAN EVER Other Addresses Delivered by Capt. Gaines, Hon. Vernal Williams and Hon. W. O. Smyer—Large Audience and Great Enthusiasm Exhibited dams We do not rely a holy war, we said a race war, but a holy war may be the sign by which we shall see the erty through the race war that will follow Where the Negro Stands Now we are Christians' and I suppose later on they are going to tell us that Christianity is attacked, that it is a fight between the Cross and the Cross. They told us all the time that Jesus Christ was a white man, now everybody knows that Mohammed was a Negro, and if we are not going to take sides because of religion I am sure we are going to take sides because of race that is all (Applause) We are not in a holy war therefore we will not go out either as Christians or as Mohammedans because as Christians we love our faith and by the sign of the cross we hope to see salvation. No one shall engage us, though because of our religion, to fight a holy war. We are not interested in the holy war, we are not interested by which means a man gets into heaven so long as he gets there, so nobody is going to interest us to kill anybody because he does not believe in his way of getting to heaven. Let me get to heaven in the best way I can. So I want you always to have that before your mind, Jesus Christ was not a white man, we know that well. Jesus Christ was the embodiment of all humanity, but for nearly 2,000 years they have been trying to make him white, now if he was white, then I suppose for them he is still white now. We believe in Christianity for the purity of Christianity for the good of Christianity but, knowing the history of the whole human race, we all know that Mohammed was of our blood, therefore if we cannot do any good we are not going to do any bad to the faith he founded. two hundred and fifty million Mohammedans' Agd Kemal has called upon them to stand in defense of Turkey and of Constantinople, and England tells us that we in the dominions must go and fight for the Cross. Since when did they remember the Cross? We know the Cross of Calvary we have been hearing that burden and we know it more than the Anglo-Saxon, because when his own race despised the Cross and the Man on the Cross, it was the man of Mohammed's people and of our blood who took up the Cross and bore it up the heights to Calvary. Therefore we know more about the Cross than they do, and we know when it is necessary to go to war for the Cross. No they are not going to camouflage us now and tell us about the Cross as against the Crescent, because after we will have done our duty they won't remember the Cross any more until somebody starts something again. The Propaganda Against the Turks Now they tell us—the vile and wicked propaganda—that Kemal and the Turks are barbarians, as they told us that the Kaiser was a barbarian. They tell us that Kemal is a barbarian and the Turks are barbarians and cannot be allowed even to live in Europe because they burned Smyrna and killed so many people in Smyrna. Were not they barbarians when they bombed the natives of East Africa and South Africa? If it was a barbarous act for Kemal and his army to overrun Smyrna then it was also a barbarous act for the British men to have gone in the air in airplanes and bombed the natives of Southwest Africa when they had nothing else than sticks and stones to fight with A New Race to Deal With Let them realize that they have a new race to deal with and not a race of fools. They are counting without their hosts. England has bluffed her way through the world for hundreds of years. You cannot bluff your way any longer, and I pray that the better judgment of America, the better sense of America, will keep out of this new war I trust that the united opinion of America will be made so manifest that no one will take us into war again, because somebody is doomed for a new war; somebody is going to be burned this time if a real war starts, and England is not going to start anything, believe me; she has better sense. She was along with Greece—behind Greece and was willing to stand along with and behind Greece to fight the Turk until Kemal's army whipped Greece into submission, and then, when she found out that Greece was licked, she was independent no more. You know she was independent when Greece stood alone and France stood behind Turkey, and she was even willing to break off her friendly relationship with France, believing that Greece would have licked Turkey; but when Turkey licked Greece she changed her mind and raised a howl of the cross! the cross! the cross! It is the cross against the crescent. Can you allow Turkey to overrun Southwestern Europe? That --- is her try. And now she has appealed to the religious sentiment of Europe with the hope of lining up Italy and France along with her to defeat the Turks. But Trotaky has something to say. (Applause.) Trotaky makes the whole world understand today that he has 1,300,000 well prepared soldiers that Kemal can use if he wants. Balfour saw it is a bluff. He knows better than anybody else in Europe he result of that bluff if he allows that bluff to stick. Therefore we read between the lines where Eng and is endeavoring to satisfy the Turk, and if they can come to some agreement there will be no war because she knows that if she goes to war against the Crescent she is linked. She will be licked in India, she will be licked in Egypt, she will be licked throughout Africa, because 76 per cent of the Africans are Mohammedans, and there will be no more of British dominions after thirty days. England knows that and the whole world knows that, too. So we would not be surprised that tomorrow morning we pick up the papers and read that the misunderstanding has been settled. So do not be too sure that this is the real war. It may be an entering wedge to that bigger war and the real war that is bound to come. Germany Coming Back Did I not tell you that Germany would come back and that Germany would not come back through Germany. The crazy idea that they could defeat a race like Germany, levy an indemnity and reduce Germany to impotence. They are crazy if they think so. The greatest mind of the twentieth century, the greatest genius of the twentieth century, the greatest scientists of the twentieth century are the Germans, and they are crazy enough to believe that they can put down Germany and keep Germany down for ever. I told you that Germany will come back, if not through Germany through somewhere else, a thousand miles, five thousand miles or ten thousand miles from Germany, but Germany will come back, and not only Germany, but whereever injustice is done to humanity, humanity will come back because it is of the human nature to revenge. If you put me down today I am going to prepare to put you down tomorrow. Why Kemal's teacher was one of the men who fought in the German war as a German general and he taught Kemal the perfection of war so that Germany could come back through Turkey, through Asia Minor or somewhere else, but Germany will be coming back anyhow. I will not be surprised if Germany comes back through Brazil. All that is in the game of diplomacy, all that is in the game of statesmanship, and, Negroes, all that you have to do is to interfere with nobody's business, but mind your own business. If Germany comes back through Turkey or Brazil or Mexico it is their business, all that you want is Universal Emancipation and African Freedom And we do not care whether we get it through the Crescent or through the Cross, because to the Mohammed Allah is God, to us God is God, the same God and He is the same God who is saying, "Princes shall come out or Egypt, and Ethiopia shall stretch out her hand" and methinks at this hour Ethiopia is in a apendid way of stretching forth her hands unto God We Are Our Own Enemies I am only sorry that we become our own enemies. The very thing that we have been preaching—unity in organization steadfastness in opinion—is the same thing that our own race is endowing to defeat by this division. But thank God there are more of us organized now than in 1914. In 1914 all of us were divided, today we have millions of members who profess the faith of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and after all sometimes it is not very good to prepare the soldier in advance, prepare the generals and they will mobilize the soldiers when the crisis comes, and anywhere you go, from the Western World to the Eastern World, you have a general of the Universal Negro Improvement Association who is ready to marshal the soldiers when the bugle sounds. So, after all, if we have 200 generals organized in Africa, we have and know we have an army of 280,000,000 men in Africa anyhow, because 280,000,000 cannot lead themselves, but the 200 generals will lead the army of 280,000,000 men. The Hour Fast Appreaching The Hour Fast Apprehaching So man, you realize the hour is fast approaching; the war clouds are gathering; the news of battle is coming; I repeat, it is in the wind. It may be here in an hour, a day, a week, a month, a year, or five or ten years, but it is coming, and one day it will come with the speed of a hurricane; it will travel with the speed of a great storm and will reach its destination over night. Prepare yourself, and rehearse that you want plenty of this time in the Negro who will treat you because you because to divide you are bound to fall united you are bound to stand. The Negro who tries to preach disunity at this time in this race when the war clouds are gathering is a worse enemy) then you have ever had because this is the hour when all Negroes must stand together our great leader of the past Bloody Washington—made the mistake of his life. Our great leader of the past Frederick Doug as made the mistake of his life. Sir Conrad Reeves of Bardados made a mistake Sir Samuel Lewis of Africa made the mistake when fifty years ago forty years ago, thirty years ago twenty years also they did not organize the Negroes of the world to stand together for a crisis as that that came in 1914. Surely we shall not make the mistake now when another war becomes imminent. If it comes tomorrow let the 400,000,000 Negroes of the world stand together as one man Freedom or death shall be the slogan of the Negro in the next world war. We shall not forsake the ship at the hour of peril and of danger. Others will desert us when the hour comes when we must take a stand but if war comes tomorrow and the question is asked the Negro. Where art thou? the answer of the Universal Negro Improvement Association shall be. We are here we use to match until Africa has been properly arranged for until all the pills the Negro has suffered from have been properly corrected until then you appeal to a draft man who cannot hear you at all (Apilause) Now whether you are a government or whether you are a race, if you intend to approach the Negro in the next world war you will better come clean with the intention of delivering the goods and if you want us to fight we shall know first of all what we fight for before one drop of Negro blood is shed. In the past they told us to go to war and we will arrange the settlement but today you will have to sign the papers first otherwise 400 000 000 are going to jail (apilause) when the time comes for upholding the principles of the Universal Negro Improvement Association we have preached for the last four years. I thank you for your patience you have exhibited in hearing me through tonight as Europe's bake clouds gather on away and send the news to your friends throughout the length and breadth of the world to stand fast under the colors of the Red, the Black and the Green and not to yield one inch until Africa is redeemed (Applause) Capt. E. L. Gaines Speaks Capt. E L. Galtes was the first speaker and said. It gives me pleasure untold to have the privilege of speaking to you for a few moments to night.

I want to say it is going up and up on (Appease) We are not turning our back on our enemy we do not care from what direction he comes because we have got to fight this mental battle and if needs be you have got to fight a physical battle in order that the Universal Negro Improvement Association may climb the heights destined for the Negro peoples of the world.

(Great applause). We are not catering to anybody, all we want men to do is to be men and not mice (laughter). We are going to fight if we have to carry the fight to the gate of heaven. This is the time that set by Almighty God—by the clock of eternity that the Negro peoples of the world should be redeemed from the throne of the white man's broken law and we want by the powers of Almighty God to give every bit of power within us to assist Him in training about the great change that He intended in the case gone by.

GREAT BRITAIN PLANS TO BLOCK KEMALIST ARMY GREAT BRITAIN PLANS TO BLOCK KEMALIST ARMY LONDON Sept. 16. Great Britain has intervened to block the threatened attempt of the Turks to regain Constantinople and re-establish their empire in Europe. The Cabinet ordered the Mediterranean fleet to take whatever steps are necessary to prevent the Kemalist troops from concentrating and moving across the Straits to the European side, where they could menace the city. Five seaplanes and thirty flying officers are being sent from Malta for reconnoitering work. Kemal's Rash Claim son will followed closely upon dispatches quoting Mustapha Kemal as declaring that he intended to take Constantinople even if it meant fighting Great Britain Reinforcements are being rushed by other nations as well as Britain . Kemal demanded an unconditional restoration of all Asia Minor, Constantinople and Thrace as far westward as the Marina River the surrender of the Greek fleet and the payment of reparations to Turkey by Greece. He threatens to storm and capture Constantinople unless the powers agree to restore it to the Turks . "And I can't wait and finally Kemal adds impatiently . He promised that the Dardanelles would remain unfortified and free to all nations. He also predicted that the Turkish Bulkin would be replaced by a national assembly. Broken Wail of Fire The British capital, read with dumay the reports of massacres of helpless Christian refugees, the misreatment of girl students in the American College at St. Briana, the looting of shops and the general saturnalia of blood and crime that preceded the burning of Smyrna. One dispatch to the Dutch Mail sent from abroad the British warship iron Duke, anchored in Kymra Harbor, told of the unbroken wall of fire two miles long, which swept across the city. Hundreds of refugees, ragged and dragging what clothing and personal goods they could carry huddled on the quays shaking in terror as the jagged flames, sometimes shooting up hundreds of feet creep closer. A revolution in Adrianople has overthrown the local administration of King Constantine, according to an unconfirmed report received here today via Paris. "BE PREPARED!"

TORONTO, Sept. 11, 1922.—The annual conference of Methodism which met at Grant A. M. E. Church, Toronto, during the past ten days, had a very distinguished visitor in their midst in the person of Dean Pickens of the N. A. A C P Mr Pickens, who was sent by Bishop Conner to speak on the loss of the Black Star Line met with great disappointment on coming to Toronto, because if any one feels desirous of knocking this great universal movement don't come among the Negroes of Toronto to do your knocking. Mr. Pickens, who is an eloquent speaker, was in induced by the bishop as one of the greatest young men in America. The bishop thought that his guest would receive hearty applause when introduced to the audience but things were the other way. The bishop asked those present to give Pickens three cheers. Only a few responded to the request of the bishop who, with a great fright on his face, asked the second time that no one paid attention to the bishop or Pickens. We the intelligent Negroes of the world admit the fact that in America there are more highly educated Negroes than the Hon. Marcus Garvey, but what the use of it when they do not use it to help my poor brothers and sisters to a greater height? I have met men day after day who are college graduates etc, and are too foolish to help their own, but would rather be used as a tool for the other fellow. Furthermore as I may say there is not another Negro man living today who has done for Negroes what the Hon. Marcus Garvey has done in so short a time. We are with you, son of man Press forward, ever onward, great leader of the race. Opposition shall not impede our onward move, for we know that this universal movement is here to stay, and it's no use of Negroes knocking Just as well to join our ranks and help make it a success, for knocking is only making the movement stronger, and Negroes who are trying to knock might just as well knock their beams up against an iron wall or something similar.

SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER 23. 1922 MASSACRE STIRS FEAR OF FRESH WAR OF TURKS AND CHRISTIANS Is the burning and massacre of Bmyrna the beginning of a great new war of Mohammedans against Christians? Will Moslem hosts again sweep India, North Africa even Eastern Europe? Must the crusades begin anew? There is no doubt that these questions are being anxiously considered in the Foreign Offices of Europe, especially in London as the cable continues to tell how the Turkish Nationalist forces under Mustapha Kemal Pasha maidened with victory and sight of fire and blood are destroying every trace of Christian property in Bmyrna and killing or driving out every person not of their own faith. Bhryna belonged to Turkey before the great war The principal city on the West Coast of Asia Minor, with access by the way) of the Aegean and the Mediterranean to the commerce of the world, it was a great manufacturing and commercial center; It had been one of the chief areas of Turkish empire since 1424. In the Sevres treaty the Allies gave the city and adjoining territory to Greece in return for military assistance in settling their troubles in Asia Minor. The Greeks landed troops, drove back the feeble opposition, and dug in. Declares Open Revolt Mustapha Kemal Pasha had been a very able general for Turkey in the great war After the Allies in the Paris Peace Conference had disposed of Turkey on paper to their liking by giving a goodly portion to Greece and taking most of the remainder, including Constantinople, for themselves, Kemal gathered about himself in Anatolia, in the interior of old Turkey, the force of opposition to this dismemberment and declared open revolt against that settlement of the Turkish question. None of the war-weary governments of Europe was willing to furnish the great amount of money and large numbers of men needed to suppress the Kemalist movement. Despite defeats on the fringes of Anatolia, Kemal gradually built up a great army. He found an ally in Bolshevist Russia, which sent him guns and ammunition and technical experts. Slowly he prepared for the reckoning with the Greeks. Trouble for Allies Meanwhile the Allies were having trouble elsewhere in the Moslem world. Egypt rose in 1919 against the British protectorate and many Egyptian students were killed by British machine guns in the riots that ensued. In India there were demonstrations for independence of British rule. One of these brought the Amritsar massacre. A man named Gandhi arose as leader of the sentiment against the British and preached a policy of non-co-operation with the white rulers that gained a huge following. In 1921 Mohammedans in India revolted and there were real battles, and many gallant Englishmen lost their lives before it was put down. In Syria the French had several hard fights with Arabs and with Kemalists. In Morocco today the natives are giving Spain a wearying war. Waiting for the Signal For a long time after the war theatesmen of Europe were like firemen waiting for the gong as they watched for all the Mohammedan world to burst into flame. Bolshievist Russia was at work spreading discontent in Turkey and India. Kemal was winning the Arabs to his side. Everywhere efforts were being made to unite the Moslems against the Christians. The plotters did not immediately succeed, but their efforts found a fertile soil in which, like seed, they might grow under favorable conditions. Then came Kemal's sudden blow against the Greeks, hardly two weeks ago. The thinly-held Greek outer line crumpled. A corps here and there gave valiant resistance but were cut off and crushed. Defeat turned into rout. The soldiers rushed back to Smyrna and crowded on transports back to Athens. The Turks arrived before the city, shelted it with modern artillery, swept in and took possession. The Turk's lust for Christian blood, always somewhere near the surface, is fanned by success in battle. Mohammedanism began in the seventh century and there was some fighting with Christians, notably at Toura splendid in her last number, "For a Girlie Like You." She sure can impersonate a male character. Emmett Anthony is still in possession of his tickling comedy. Then we have Gertrude Saunders in her live wire number, "Love Me While Loving is Good."

But when the Ottoman Turks came out of their wild haunts of Western Asia in the eleventh century and became first converts, then leaders of the faith, real trouble between Moslems and Christians began. They first overran all of Asia Minor remaining in the Roman Empire in the East then carried their pillage and murder into Europe. Only at the gate of Venus in 1652 were they stopped. If driven out it means war with England at least—and probably with France and the Balkan countries.

Sept. 16 Smyrna no longer exists Death and indescribable misery permeate among 200,000 in the crazed population. All the patients crowded in hospitals, numbering not less than a thousand, have been burned to death. The fire, which has been raging for three days with unabated fury, has swept the city and is extending to the suburbs. Only blackened masonry and a small vestige of the Turkish quarter remain. Six lone American relief workers are attempting the superhuman task of ministering to the dead and dying. No other country has as yet come forward to relieve the suffering All relief supplies sent from Constantinople by the American relief organizations were destroyed by the fire. Major Claflin Davis, of the American Red Cross, and H. C. Jaquith, of the Near East Relief, are bending all their efforts to evacuate the Christians as the only means of saving them, but are handicapped by lack of vessels. Bands of Turks are heartlessly killing the holpless Christians, and the whole city is in the throes of terror. Rescue is the ruins is proceeding slowly, the Kemalist leaving the fire victims to their fate. The catastrophe is so vast that only the collective efforts of the Allied nations can cope with it. When the fire was at its worst the American destroyer Lawrence and Litchfield were almost swamped by thousands of madened survivors who plunged in the water in the darkness of night and swam out to the vessels, imploring pituously to be saved.

Real Source of Trouble Relief Supplies Destroyed THE NEW AND AWAKENED NEGRO IS SEEKING PROTECTION AND SECURITY FOR HIMSELF AND PROSPERITY New Psychology the Dominant Thought Among the Best Minds of the Race BY J. JACKSON TILFORD Through the Universal Negro improvement Association and its program the scattered Negroes throughout the world, fatigued and weary of the evils and injustices that have been heaped upon them for the past three hundred years, are eagerly seeking protection and security. After reflecting on their misfortunes and discovering the causes of them, Negroes are now proclaiming. "We are mutually injuring each other because of disunity of thought, purpose and action and through our rigid individualism and lack of cooperative and collective activity we are losing all as a race and gaining nothing. "Let us establish Negro governments with powerful armies and navies, with an economic system, industrial enterprises, ambassadors and statemen to arbitrate our rights and settle our differences, then when the powerful shall rise against us we shall then be in a position to restrain them by using our organized power to suppress violence and oppression and to protect Negro life and property and keep this race safe and secure to enjoy health, wealth and happiness and the good things of nature that other organized forces now enjoy, because of the same reason." Negroes organized in this manner, with ambassadors and diplomats to safeguard and demand their rights throughout the world, backed up by a powerful army and navy and military strength to punish transgressors, would soon establish a happy equilibrium and equality of power between the black and white races of the world that would make for common security. Self preservation is the first law of nature, and thus this first law becomes the vital asset of the individual, the race or the nation, and on the strict observance of this natural law depends the fate of an individual, race or a nation. The Negro as a race must adhere to this law by preserving himself through organized power, governments and unity. The lack of these institutions within the race has been and is now the misfortune of our people. The U. N. I. A. program accomplished in its entire will render the race happy, safe and secure among the family of races and nations. THE MASSACRE; REPT BY AMERICANS Christians Amid Blackened Ten City—"Old Glory" Beacon' U. S. WILL NOT JOIN IN FIGHTING TURKEY American Forces in Near Eastern Waters Only to Protect Own Citizens WASHINGTON, Sept. 16. — High officials of the Administration declared emphatically tonight that the United States will take no part in any Allied military action against the Turks. It is interested only in the protection of American lives and property in Smyrna and in refugee relief. It will not help to defend Constantinople against the Kemallists. This was elicited in response to inquiries as to the course the government would take in the Smyrna tragedy. Following is the policy outlined by the Administration: "The United States has no commitments of any sort at the present time which involve it in the political situation in Turkey, in so far as the question of neutralization of the Straits or preventing the Turks from crossing the Straits is concerned. "Under the terms of the armistice of October, 1918, between the Allied Governments and the Turks, an agreement was resolved for neutralization of the Straits. The United States was not a party to this agreement, because it was never at war with Turkey. Neither was it a party to the Treaty of Sevres, which was never ratified by anybody. "This treaty provided for the keeping open of the Straits by Great Britain, France and Italy by military forces if necessary. That is why the British, French and Italian contingents are there now. "Our armed forces are in these waters entirely for the protection of American lives and interests, and to see to it that the Turkish engagements under the terms of the armies are kept in force in so far as they affect American lives and property."

One time tribal chief of the Jebus, a nation of 250,000 inhabitants he discovered hidden in the Nigerian forests of Africa, and now, thirty years later, the only bishop in all the dark continent representing the Episcopal Church of the United States—such is the changing status of Bishop W. H. Overs, who is attending the convention from Liberia. Passage by Congress of the bill providing a $5,000,000 Federal loan for Liberia is advocated strongly by Bishop Overs as the surest method of developing Africa's most backward territory the only place where free government of Africans over Africans is in existence. Loan Would Aid "If the Senate passes this measure as the House already has done, I predict that Liberia will make more progress in one year than it has in the last twenty together. "The war took 85 per cent. of the export trade from Liberia as a result of the expulsion of Germans from the territory at the request of the allied powers. This depressing industrial situation has led up to the present negotiations for a loan from the United States." If the loan is granted, the bishop explained. President Harding will appoint a commission of twenty-two men to supervise various departments of the Liberian Government, to make certain BIG BRITISH FORCES LANDED IN STRAITS Confident They Can Check Any Kemalist Effort to Seize Dardanelles CONSTANTINOPLE. Sept. 16. — Large British forces, with heavy artillery, have been landed at strategic points in the Dardanelles, prepared for any eventuality. The British forces which landed are throwing up entrenchments. Further contingents are on the way. Confidence that they can check any Kemalist effort to seize the historic waterway was expressed in British quarters today. General Shuttleworth, who is in command, will soon be reinforced by French and Italian battalions. British headquarters announce that Field Marshal French is expected here shortly. The British officials are confident the Allied fleet and land forces can hold Constantinople against all odds. Sir Harry Lamb, the British High Commissioner at Smyrna, is conferring with Mustapha Kemal Pasha, the Turkish Nationalist chief, at Cordello, where King Constantine of Greece made his home while at the Smyrna front.

Big Progress Made Wonderful progress has been made by Nigeria since his explorations there thirty years ago, the bishop observed. Whereas he was the first white man ever to visit the tribe of Jabubu, who as that time practiced slavery methods, had human sacrifices and followed other barbarous customs, a 1,600-mile railroad now pierces the territory and other marks of civilization are in increasing evidence. Immigration of Negros from America to Liberia is now practically negligible, he declared, although the greatest influence in governmental affairs is exerted by the Americo-Liberian. Forty native tribes are included in the republic, patterned after the United States Government, with a Declaration of Independence and similar Federal departments. Virgin forests of mahogany, rosewood and black gum provide an immense untouched wealth, while agricultural possibilities, as yet undeveloped, are great.

Turkish Nationalists might turn from their successes over the Greeks to attack the neutral zone around Constantinople. Reinforcing Treeppe With this in mind, Great Britain is reinforcing her troops in Constantinople, and has ordered the Mediterranean fleet to oppose by every means any infraction of the neutral zone or any attempt by the Turks to cross over to Europe. Great Britain also has invited Greece, Rumania, Jugoslavia and the British Dominions to give their assistance in this, if necessary. France and Italy are said to agree with Great Britain on the necessity of maintaining the neutrality of the Straits. It is indicated, however, that Great Britain has not abandoned the original agreement that the Turks should have Constantinople if the other matters were satisfactorily composed, and the London government proposes an immediate conference to effect peace with the Turks.

THE TURKISH VOLCANO ON Saturday and Sunday, September 16 and 17, glaring headlines appeared in the New York American regarding the Turkish massacre in Smyrna, Asia Minor. The headlines stated on September 16, "Sword and Fire Kill 1,000 in Smyrna. All City Burns; Fighting in Streets, Allies Join to Stop Kenal's March Greeks Report Big Massacre by Turks, Who Are Said to Have Started Conflagration Raging for Two Days. Kenal's Forces Reported Thirty-five Miles from Constantinople—Britain, France and Italy Unite to Protect Dardanelles." The Daily News of the same date began an article by John Clayton, stating "Three-fifths of Smyrna is in ashes and more than 300,000 persons are homeless as the fire burns itself out after destroying the entire Armenian, Greek and foreign quarters. The financial loss is close to $300,000,000 and approximately $17,000,000 is America's share." And the New York American on Sunday, September 17, stated that at least a thousand patients in the Smyrna hospitals were burned to death. This massacre, coming at a time when the League of Nations was holding a peace conclave and dove-like pow wow in Geneva, Switzerland, fell like a bolt from the blue upon a startled world. What is the cause of the sudden catyclysm and volcanic eruption? This is the aftermath of the world's war, whose affairs were not satisfactorily adjusted at the peace conference in Versailles. The Turks under General Kemal are attempting to regain Constantinople and re-establish their empire in Europe. The wholesale massacre and the burning of Smyrna was a side show, which is occasionally one of the incidents of war when the passions of men have become aggravated. The Daily News stated that the Smyrna massacre may stir up fresh war of Turks and Christians. But the Turkish peace terms indicate that this is not a religious, but a political, war, a war to regain lost territory and political prestige. The first three terms state this unequivocably. They demand: "1. That all the occupied areas of Anatolia and Thrace be turned back to Turkey. "2. That the Greek troops remaining in Turkey be surrendered unconditionally to the Turks along with their arms and munitions. "3. That the 'enemy' recognize Turkish sovereignty in Thrace and Asia Minor." The ethics of modern warfare justifies any nation regaining by force what was wrested from them by force, but the ethics of modern warfare does not sanction the massacre and burning of civilians, the murder of old men and women and infants and the raping of young girls. The world remembers the massacre of the Armenians by the Turks twenty-seven years ago and has repeatedly condemned subsequent massacres by the Turks of Armenians and other Christians. Some critics blame the Mohammedan religion for the brutality and cruelty of the Turks. The world calls the religious movement started by the prophet Mohammed Mohammedanism and his followers Mohammedans. But they call themselves Moslems and Muslims and they call their religion Moslemism. But whether their religion is called Mohammedanism or Moslemism or Mussulmanism, it is not directly responsible for the Armenian and Smyrna massacres and the massacre of Greeks by the Turks any more than the Christian religion is directly responsible for the lynching and burning of human beings in the Southern States of America, the brutality of the British and Boers in South Africa and the cruelty of the Belgians in the Congo. It only indicates that Moslemism has found it as difficult to tame the unbridled passions and innate savagery of fierce Bedouin tribes and warlike Arabs as Christianity has of Celt and Teuton. There is nothing in the Koran to justify the slaughter of innocent civilians, but we must also take into consideration that Jesus of Nazareth preached a gospel of love and that his followers propagated his gospel by preaching, while Mohammed and his followers sought to found an empire upon religion, welded church and State and propagated their religion by the sword. The immediate followers of Christ endeavored to convert men by persuasion. The immediate followers of Mohammed endeavored to convert men by coercion. As Christianity and Mohammedanism sprang from somewhat different roots and seeds, they naturally issue in somewhat different truths. Despite its polygamy there is much in Moslemism that is uplifting. It preaches a lofty monotheism and the immortality of the soul and encourages its believers to be manly and generous. It is swarming over Africa like a tidal wave because it inculcates manliness of character in its believers. Christianity respects womanhood more than Moslemism does and may have a more fatherly conception of God and a loftier conception of Immortality. But it will be difficult for Christianity to supplant Moslemism in Africa because the Christians have often divorces practice and precept and do not manifest devotion that they saw eloquent about in talks. Jesus of Nazareth gave to the world the noblest idealism that it has as yet seen. The arrogance and difficulty is so mould and chisel the rough stuff of humanity that the likeness of that matchless ideal. THE NEGRO WORLD. SATURDAY.

Conceding journalism its status in our social organization discussions were vehement appeals for a new form of Negro literature, claiming that the present journalism is at a very low ebb. The following reasons cause the general economic condition of the ignorance of Negro journalists, financial status and political organizations, and fear to our criticism because of certain dogma fastened on our group. Trained unbiased and unsubsidized mind is pervasive with the delegates in their discussions. It is for fundamental influence behind Negro journalism alone. The Negro, because of his color and connection in certain mental economic grooves, that an unstable economic state which unifies him inicals as he should. (This condition applies to and professional men alike.) The Negro journalism profession with honesty of purpose and conviction with operation he is brought face to face with which means he must succumb to the oftentimes poor economic, political and social subsidies or retarded endeavor, and rather than retire he often commits.

In its operation was started and to a large extent today is limited training and experience, and our opinion educational, social, economic and political well by these men. Journalism calls for our best minds - those endowed by genious, enriched by education and experience - suited for this specific work. It is gratifying to Negro journalism is following the footsteps of going to the demand of the public by employing the staffs to propagate this vital work. It is a common men of the race pursuing the study of journalism. Journalism is also suffering from the present condition. This condition has been fastened on the Negro tradition. A few years ago it was suicidate criticize even constructively the church, to add partly other than the Republican party, to insure convention problems of sex and morals, etc. The Negro" still possesses the modern Negro journals, enough "grit" and backbone to free his vital state, so long will Negro journalism continue for these evils existing in Negro journalism and organization. Through organization will gain and political freedom, essential requisites for a true people and a standard form of journalism. AMONG the many vital subjects discussed at the third international convention of the Negro peoples of the world we considered the discussion of the "Negro Press" the most vital. This subject was dealt with by men high up in Negro journalism, and the scholarly way in which they treated the subject clarified its status as it relates to our group. In the discussions it was brought out that journalism today is running parallel with other established institutions in moulding opinion and directing the conduct of our group constituency. Whatever our opinion or our conduct is, whether wholesome or dissipated, it is a reflection of the impression made on our minds by our influencing institutions, and that journalism plays no smaller part than does the home, church, school, fraternal and political organizations in shaping this opinion and conduct. After conceding journalism its status in our social organism, the succeeding discussions were vehement appeals for a more highly developed form of Negro literature, claiming that the present status of Negro journalism is at a very low ebb. The following reasons were given as the causes. The general economic condition of the race, lamentable ignorance of Negro journalists, financial subsidies by capitalistic and political organizations, and fear to criticize certain conditions because of certain dogma fastened on our group by tradition. The trained unbiased and unsubsidized mind is persuaded to sympathize with the delegates in their discussions. It is a fact that the basic or fundamental influence behind Negro journalism is an economic one. The Negro, because of his color and condition, is forced to function in certain mental economic grooves, thereby forcing him in an unstable economic state which units him in supporting his periodicals as he should. (This condition applies to the Negro business and professional men alike.) The Negro journalist may start his profession with honesty of purpose and conviction, but after a few months' operation he is brought face to face with these grim facts, which means he must succumb to the oftentimes poisonous influences of economic, political and social subsidies or retire from his chosen field of endeavor and rather retire he often overwhelmedly succumbs. Ninety-five per cent of the Negro newspapers of America are supplied with news by the "Associated Negro Press," and in return they are asked to run an advertisement of the Overton Hygiene Co., manufacturers of a hair preparation. To accept such advertisement is against the conviction of some Negro journalists, but because of their economic status and the absence of other news agencies, they are forced to accept or go without news. The Associated Negro Press is subsidized by the Overton Hygiene Co., which enables this company to subsidize 95 per cent of the Negro newspapers of America. The institution of Negro journalism, like the Negro church, has suffered because of the lack of trained leadership. In its inception this institution was started and to a large extent today is controlled by men of limited training and experience, and our opinions relative to our educational, social, economic and political wellbeing are moulded by these men. Journalism calls for our best minds - those endowed with capacity and genious, enriched by education and experience and technically trained for this specific work. It is gratifying to note that modern Negro journalism is following the footsteps of the church in responding to the demand of the public by employing trained men on their staffs to propagate this vital work. It is a common thing to find young men of the race pursuing the study of journalism in our ranking universities. Negro journalism is also suffering from the psychological "dogma" fear. This condition has been fastened on the Negro journalist by tradition. A few years ago it was suicidal for Negro papers to criticize even constructively the church, to advocate any political party other than the Republican party, to discuss contrary to Negro convention problems of sex and morals, etc. This psychological "dogma" still possesses the modern Negro journalist, and until he marshals enough "grit" and backbone to free himself from such a mental state, so long will Negro journalism continue to suffer. As a remedy for these evils existing in Negro journalism we would recommend organization. Through organization will come economic social and political freedom, essential requisites for the advancement of true people and a standard form of journalism.

The "death-dealing" Turk has proved nobility of heart and piety and that is all that distinguishes them from the pious Christians. We, all the Christians, have a peculiar and sometimes ridiculous psychology that revolts against the Turk, irrespective of his merits. We believe in anything and everything that the Greeks or their super-lords, the British, may please to dispatch, but we countenance the Turk's words with grave suspicion. While we write this we have in mind the proclamation of Mustapha Kemal Pasha, who issued an order to his victorious army forbidding them to commit any atrocity on the civilian Christians on penalty of death. It was worthy of the Pasha and of his pure life. He is a bachelor still at the age of forty. He cannot be expected as a man of noble character and as a guide of the Turks' destiny to promote or even ignore the misconduct of his army or civilians. If we have less of religious hatred and more of political fair play we will be able to understand Turkey in a different light altogether. The sooner we do the better for both of us. The Turkish Nationalists have scored a complete victory over King Constantine's army, which was really an army of occupation of a territory on which they had not the least right. Of course, the Greeks were led to play this game at the instigation of Great Britain. The Welsh "wizard," or little George and the chowder-pated Curzon wanted Greece to play their weak cards. Mr George and Lord Curzon are aware of the fact that their empire, which is, in fact, an Asiatic empire, is toterring, and they wanted to save it if possible by establishing a military and aerial base on the former Turkish territory. This is surely a plan of Great Britain to suppress revolution in India that may arise at any moment. That is why they are willing to be foods by creating troubles in Palestine, Mesopotamia, Arabia, Turkey, Greece and elsewhere. The British are the master crooks in the Near East. President Obregon of Mexico opened, in person, the Thirteenth Congress of the United Mexican States on September 1. This is considered, in responsible political circles in Mexico as the most important session since the establishment of the republic in 1821. Possibly so. This congress proposes to start a central bank, probably on the lines of the Federal Reserve Bank of the United States, and the bank will be named as the Bank of Mexico. Mexico also intends to resume service on her foreign debt. This means the restoration of her business which is the key to her economic reconstruction. Still there is the question of recognition of the Mexican Government by foreign governments. But it is very unwise for Mexico to wait for recognition from states which have lost the sense of fair statecraft. The visit of Secretary of Finance Adelto de la Huerta to the United States and his discussions with the bankers have cleared the way for such recognition. But still the United States is adhering to a fatal policy and is unwilling to recognize the Obregon government, which has undoubtedly proved as successful as the Harding government, if not more so, unless guarantees to safeguard the oil interests be incorporated in a treaty. This is very exasperating to any government that has a sense of honor and credulity. But in the meanwhile the Mexicans should utilize all their energies in reconstructing their economic situation and the recognition will automatically follow as the shadow follows the body. "Recognition will come to those who know how to wait—if they work while they wait." The word comes from Tokyo that the Prince Irgent Hirohito has announced a thrill in connection with his marriage. He is betrothed to Princess Nagako Kunn. The Prince is a young man who has surprised the world with so many sensational performances during the last two years. The new surprise in question is that he insists upon his marriage being austerely simple. This reveals that the Prince seems to have inherited that genial and pure ardor of simplicity from his grandfather, the Poet-Mikado But . . . but they are going to spend two million yen, which is two million and a half dollars, in wild revelry, processions, feasts and banquets. The Emperor is going to entertain three thousand rich parasites who represent nobility, aristocracy and their kind. The workers and peasants will, of course, bear all the expense. They will have to feast on the pictures of the royal marriage in newspapers at the extra expense of one sen more. This is a fair sample of royal simplicity. Germany is enveloped in many crises. One of them is the reparations crisis However, Herr Hugo Stimnes has come to the rescue But there are others. For instance, the Bavarian monarchic threat, the internal financial crisis owing to the fall of the mark to an unfathomable bottom, the industrial unrest though apparently satisfied, etc. The monarchic threat may not be so serious as to alarm the republic at the present time But the financial crisis is imminent Business continues, however, in face of all threatening dangers and impediments, but production is not in a healthy condition. Every week the scale of wages is to be revised and even at that the worker may have to starve before the next payday arrives. The cure for all these ills is the stabilization of the mark This cannot be done without external aid. For that externa ad Germany looks forward to America But America has turned a deaf ear hitherto. The time has come for America when she can no longer wait and see the patient dying of financial tuberculosis, whose carcass, if dead, will nauseate the whole world.

Sir-As a member of the African Races Association and a race man all through for race prosperity and progressive independence I crave space in your valuable paper to point out the great hardship any man of color has in obtaining suitable lodgings throughout the British Isles (ireland excepted). This I am writing after more than thirty years' experience in all parts of the country, and hearing complaints and remarks on the experiences of other dark people all walks of life. These young men when they left the comforts of their own homes felt that they were only coming to another in England. These cold-shouldering processes go on here can only tend to make these fellows feel a revolutionary spirit toward all Englishmen when they return to their respective homes. The holiday season is coming on here now and many of these young men will be required to seek lodging among people who are too poog to go away on holidays. When the time comes for their respective landlords to go away all lodging houses (except models) and hotels are closed against dark men, as there is always a waiting list when they apply—full up, etc. Another handicap to our boys is that --- landladies will charge them a higher rate than they do other lodgers and give our boys poorer service I know of cases where students pay £1 per week for a plainly-furnished, small back bedroom, and the entire rental of the whole house is under £25 The same room was let to others before for 12 shillings per week, so you see we are not only fleeced in Africa, India and Egypt, but everywhere we go. Why? Because we have no competitive means of retaliation or helping ourselves. The English capitalist and political press publish great misleading revelations of recently-discovered man-eating cannibals through the medium of their missionaries and whiskey-running-aries. Then their cunning cartoonists and caricaturists come in with their dreadful pictures of the feast of these black cannibals cating human flesh, and this makes the visionary British landladers' flesh creep at the first sight of a man-eating race, and they slam the door in the poor student's face and he is left to wonder what is wrong in good old England, the land of roses and Bases; in good old Scotland, the land of Bibles, missionaries and Johnny Walker. For my part I feel it is time the colored people all over the world should stop laughing and grimming at English men's and women's success and progress at his expense in his very own country, and get down to real industrial and commercial business. We require a boarding house in all big cities for our students so that they can associate with each other and read the literature and industrial and commercial doings of their own people in all parts of the world. Racial isolation will never help us to be a power among men even though we have the cream of the world's wealth given us by old Dame Nature. Will you not awake from your lourgey? If you will not, then let us bid the Englishmen Germans, Frenchmen, Americans, Italians, Spanials, Portuguese, Belgians, etc. Godspeed in the final act of isolating us in universal industrial and commercial pursuits and let the world think rightly—that we are only put on this earth to be howers of wood and drawers of water for the forty five or fifty million Europeans while our sons and daughters number no less than 460,000,000, with no welding force behind them. In England I have known our youths to be put out into the streets penitless with nowhere to go for shoer because they could not pay their way for a short period. We have no way of one helping the other, and oftentimes those who might help their own would rather spend their time and means in a theatre with white girls, or sometimes speculate on horses that some English bookie select for them. Yet he knows how he is scorned and cold shouldered by the majority when he or his has nothing to process. The sooner that the Negro learns that widemouth saddest gas will do him nor his face nor cause any good I think the sooner he will begin to make it safer for a sound international industrial and commercial policy of co-operation and participation in general trade, as have other men. The fault is ours, as we are given too much to loye. I am desirous of hearing of any complaint from students or men of color from any part of the world who feel they have a grievance or a hardship. Before considering I wish to point out to all men of color be they brown or black that one is not respected any more than another by his white friends and that it is a foolish idea for one colored man to cold-shoulder another because they come from different colonies or from different parts of the world. We have been planted in different parts of the world by our fell assassin, blood-band and mineral-thirsting friends who wish to keep us separated for the greed of selfish commercial gains and the student or other men of color who are no stupid as to lend themselves to this isolating system are dolls and do not know the history of their own people nor that of the fell assassin, who displayed such great and yet deplorable military cannibalism on the fields of Flanders and throughout Europe within recent years. Then the black carnival was a hero; the missionaries not mentioned their discoveries nor the cartoonist his spleen. Keep the above fact before you until you get in your ranks fearless cultivated and willing to express the truth about those who today delight in circulating libulous defamatory lies against us in all lands—forgetting their own murder, criminal, drunken and divorce-court records. We who know will willingly come out into the open and compare actual deed for deed before the world. Why fear an evil for? LEO W. DANIELS 15 Maxwell Road, Glasgow, Scotland PERSONAL AFFAIRS AGAINST RACIAL AFFAIRS PLEASE WIPE OUT As I am writing this article I am carried away to a happening of this vicinity. As I was talking with some people not very many days ago I happened to ask them to join the greatest movement ever known to us, and these are the words they said: "I would join, but there are certain parties in the local that I do not care to associate with." How absurd! The idea of bringing personal affairs into anything that is going to do the race good. In my opinion, and I believe that I am right, if I can do anything while I am living that will do the unborn generation of this great race of ours any good, away with personal affairs, I do not give the snap of my finger. Why make the coming generation go through with what we have gone through? Think of the present America: for over one hundred and forty-six years they have been preparing for the yet unborn generation, and we are, some of us, going around with hatred in our hearts, one against the other, and continually giving our money to the other races. I only wish that I could get every one to see as I do, but that is impossible. I myself am very young, though I have caught the spirit of the movement, and I shall do all in my power to bring about the readjustment of our race. When the great curtain of the world will rise, believe me, the Negro race is going to lead in the great race drama that is going to be played among the four races of the world. I say four, because there is very little we hear of the red man, he is what you call exterminated, and if we do not get together and organize the same fate awaits us. Sincerely yours. AGNES E. WALKER LOYAL U. N. I: A. MEM- BER PASSES AWAY NEW ORLEANS, La., Sept. 21.—Allow me the valuable space in your paper to express our sympathy towards Mrs. F. Richardson, an active member of this great movement and wife of Mr. John Richardson, who passed away on August 28 from this world to eternity. Mrs. Richardson was a native of America, having been born in the State of Louisiana. Yours respectfully. A. PHILIP RANDOLPH GOT A HAND. HE SHOULD KNOW. "YOU SAID IT!" A. PHILIP RANDOLPH GOT A HAND. HE SHOULD KNOW. "YOU SAID IT!" BY SIR HOBERT L. POSTON Secretary-General of the U. N. I. A. This boy Randolph has earned the right to a permanent place in the Hall of Jokers. A few days ago it was reported that he had received a hand from the Ku Klux Klan. He denied then that this hand was sent from the Ku Klux Klan but said it was the work of some Negro (the had full support in that view, for many people who had taken the pain to analyze the circumstances surrounding that hand felt that the Negro who got the New York undertaker to cut off that hand and mail it to Randolph was none other than ( Randolph himself ). Now Mr Randolph has had a change of heart, caused by an alleged letter he received from New Orleans on September 12, and he now believes that the hand actually came from the Ku Klux Klan. It appears that Mr Randolph overlooked a few important details in springing this joke on the public, and test he should make the same error when he decides to mail himself another hand, we wish to point out a few inconsistencies. A hand supposing to come from the Ku Klux Klan would not have been a white hand like the one Randolph received for the white man is not anxious to have a Negro shake his hand even though that hand is dead and shapped off. Moreover, the Ku Klux Klan do not make it a practice of cutting off the hands of white men. It is strange that Randolph did not think of these things when he pulled off this trick. Common sense should have told him that the proper color of the hand he had delivered to himself should have been black. But what is consistency to a bunch of lada whose stock-in-trade is sensation? They had to have something to draw the crowds, and they knew how crazy colored people are about hands. They will give their last dollar for a hand. This has been proven on many occasions. Humph knew his belts. We next expect to see him have sent to himself. Look stone-mayhap a bunker. Wonderful charms! The Universal Negro Improvement Association is doing its work. These little soda water dishes are being shown up in their true light. A few more weeks of the kind of performances they are putting off in Har om and the public will know the skunks they are. Few the dry skinking of the mueantung they are putting and we give them six months to go the way of the dog and the rest—if they live that two months these Negro lives been raving in Harlem to continue idea have they put it "Garvey must be for he goes who has plucked." They are silent. we shall go nowhere except ever to take a free and redeemed Africa of the greatest arguments in favor of the emancipation of the Universal Negro in Africa. Association is the fact that the more we have in it men who have come to the depths of Ran- philadelphia to men who are with- our own people. Weaklings who stand at the door and knock and hall them, we hope that the mo- tions will soon appear to bid them more than what thinking of do- ning no such thing. Oh God, what purpose were such men made of! We been Thy clay to better purpose used in a joke. For- great men, great speak as man DELEGATION OF NEGROES TO LEAGUE OF NATIONS DELEGATION OF NEGROES TO LEAGUE OF NATIONS (continued from page 1) come we in N. norrese but we are out out for the very work and we in- tend in arry if on caring not whether arra N. negres like it or not Take Courage I was not to take courage do not get kick in the thing, fear God and stand your ground and fight this battle at the gate. It takes a little nerve to do these things and the Negro who has not the nerve three days ought to be dead and get out of the way. It takes a little nerve to carry this program over. We intend to carry this program over. If we are going to show the one and Negro in this country that we are not the only Negro in this country that there are some Negroes in this country who have some brains, which we are going to use to carry the Universal Negro Improvement Association on to victory. We can do it. all you have to do is back Marcus Garvey and carry out his plans (Applause). MON. V. J. WILLIAMS SPEAKS The next speaker was Hon. Vernal J. Williams, Assistant Counsel-General, who said. If there ever was a time when the existence of the Universal Negro Improvement Association is justified, it is now; and our existence is justified not only as a national power in this country, not only as a power in the Western Hemisphere, but as an organized international power U. N. I. A. Has Received International Recognition Never before in the history of the world has any Negro organisation received the international recognition as has the Universal Negro Improvement Association. (Applause) Doubless you have all read or heard of the reports that have come out of the League of Nations at Geneva, that our ambassadors, our minister plenipotentiary and our representatives have gone before the League of Nations and they have not only gone before the League of Nations, but the League of Nations has lent them its ears. ors Heard by League of Nations Never before in the history of the world has such a remarkable achievement of this race of ours taken place as has taken place during the last week. What does that mean? It means that the powers of the world have recognized the Universal Negro Improvement Association as the organization through which the black peoples of the world are speaking (Applause) On Threshold of Another Great War Tonight we are standing on the threshold of another great war. Tonight the world faces perhaps one of the greatest Armageddona in its history. I remember during the days of the late war a professor of Cambridge University in England who came to this country to lecture said that after the war is over and conditions in the world remained as unstable, as unsettled, as undecided as they were during the days of the ante-bellum period a greater war would follow to which when compared the present struggle in Europe would seem only as child's play. True, my friends. That prophecy is coming to pass. The late war ended with the injustice, the unfairness still existing in this world, and we are about to enter into another war which must decide for all times the future of the peoples of the world. Christianity Against Mohammedanism We face a struggle between the force of Christianity on one hand and the forces of Mohammedanism on the other, a struggle between the world of Islam and our world, a struggle which will determine the future not only of the Western peoples of the world, but will determine the future of Asia, the future of Africa. Can Black Men Remain Indifferent? Can black men remain indifferent in a struggle like this? The day has come to pass when the very obligations will be cast upon black men which the Universal Nogro Improvement Association has been predicting. The day has come when the voice of Africa will be heard from shore to shore, not only from Constantinople down to Gallipoll, not only from the Dardanelles down to Smyrna, but the voice of Africa shall resound or rope throughout the four corners of the world, and that is the day when our organisation, with our legions, with our leaders, with our men in those past led this movement, will stand up and tell the world that the things we preached in the past are happening today. The Voice of This Organization Can Never Be Stilled And, my friends, the enemies may fight, the enemies may try to suppress this movement, the enemies may place obstacles and barriers in the path, the enemies may corral if they will the white forces of the world that are trying to suppress this movement because they fear it, the enemies backed by the finance of Europe may try to fight, but that voice, the voice of warning which the Universal Negro Improvement Association sent out in the past—the voice that this organization sent out across the Atlantic and across the Pacific—that when this war came the black man will determine the balance of power, that voice can never be stilled. That voice, though the torents of earth and hell may rage, shall be heard through the sounds of many waters. The day is coming and we must stand up and hold on, hold on because the redemption of Africa is near. How Africa Will Be Freed The very men who hold Africa by her neck; the very men who are trying to strangle the continent of our ancestors, they themselves, because of their own jealousies of each other are going to free her with their swords and spears. Shall we not then hold on? Shall we not then forget the enemy? Shall we not push forward because the Universal Negro Improvement Association is here to stay, it is going to be here till Shiloh comes. (Great applause) HON. W. O. SYMER SPEAKS Hon. W O. Symer, Commissioner of Missiraippi, Alabama and Louisiana, spoke as follows: Listening to the two previous speakers there came a number of thoughts into my mind that possibly might be of great value to us in forming a conclusion as to what will be the inevitable result of our great fight. The thought came to me from Captain Gainas' remarks about the challenge of the Universal Negro Improvement Association by disgruntled members. I should like to call your attention to this thought. A man who has had sufficient force of vision, sufficient strength of character to organise a mighty, gigantic constructive organization of 4,000,000 human beings that has risen in its might to challenge the accumulated intellectual development of the white world for the liberty of his people need not care very much about meeting the challenge of a few disgruntled Negroes.

Including Midnight Supper, $1.00 Come and Enjoy Yourself appreciate the fact that we get the wrong conception of the Negro's position in society. Education that does not produce is worthless in the growth of society. I may take my diploma and hang it on the wall, but until I produce some of the mighty things that are essential to the growth and development of society my education is worth nothing to the development of the world. So that merely to grow eloquent, make speeches and present petitions, cringe and bow before men instead of becoming a man fails to create that line of thought that will compel the world to respect us. The trouble with the Negro very largely may be based upon the idea that he fails to see the things that are necessary to make him a man. Made New Man of Old Material If I had the time to talk to you and give sufficient thought to this subject, I would draw your attention to this fact: that only a creative mind is worthy of a place in society. The thing that Hon Marcus Garvey has done is, he has made out of the old material and brain a new man (Applause). He has made out of the cringing knee and the suppliant falling at the feet of another race of man a himself who today has decided to take a man's place in the battle of life, asking nobody but God That brought him into existence. So that in the final analysis the Garvey philosophy like awakened the Negro, has stirred him up and created a new psychology in his mind aroused him from the pine and forests of North Carolina to the golden gate of the peaceful Pacific and told him "Your house is on fire, the time to sleep is past" (Applause). Remarkable Inventions by Men of the Race Another thought that came to me in regard to the possibility of a new war is this. You must be aware of the fact that there is a constant change in the mental concept of black men that the world has taken no appreciation of. In the city of Pittsburgh we have a man that has introduced a gas that will destroy all material and animal life within a radius of 200 yards square. If that gas is turned loose in this building it will decompose the life of the material and the brick and the tin, the posts will rot and crumble in thirty days. Another member of our organization whose name I cannot afford to offer at this time, has stumbled on an invention that is the introduction of a scientific effort that connects to some extent a radiotic and electric force. By setting up a battery on the hillside in the woods and running a tube in the ground connected with a ganglion of wires sent out into the river, then highly charging them it will convert every piece of steel within a radius of two miles. The Philosophy of the Garvey Movement I want to say, my friends, that if the philosophy of the Garvey movement would be grasped by the race, there would be no question of our future. The unfortunate thing is that the Negro worships God but serves and fears the white man. If we could just get that out of him and let him know that God is God and if he put his hands in the mighty hand of the immortal God and looks only to God he will sweep like daffa before him every obstacle that daffa disputes his right of way. Therefore I want to urge you to rush on with this grand and glorious effort Move forward, go not down. Mark you, the darkest hour is always just before the dawn God Almighty, the maker of the heavens and the earth, knew what He was doing when way back yonder before the hills in order stood. He planned a solution of this problem. It was then that God planned that when the great and mighty social upheavals began to erupt and shake the world, when black men had become puppets, and when the time arrived for Ethiopia to stretch forth hands and cry, that He would speak to a woman on the island of Jamaica and tell that woman that she shall bring forth a son and his name shall be Marcus, and a government shall rest upon his shoulder. God knew what He was doing: He foresaw before the hills in order stood, before the sons of God shouted together upon Mars hill that this hour was coming, and God Almighty prepared a man to lead the people out of darkness into the brilliant light of the sun. Let us stand to our guns and go down with the ship, knowing he that fighteth to the last is the victorious soldier. Unlash our minds from the skepticism and doubts of the past, and if men have waded through blood to empires, black men, if it is necessary to be men to do so, will wade through blood to empires and lift the Red, the Black and the Green up out of the dust and place it upon the hilltopes of Africa. (Agplause.) Then before our dying day we shall look forward and see floating in the breeze the emblems that have made their impress upon the pages of history, and as we ask the angels of destiny, "What of what?" the angels of destiny will reply "These are the emblems of nations that have made a great impress upon the pages of history." Then we will see a new emblem unfurling to the breeze, and we ask destiny "What is that?" and destiny will reply. That is the Red, the Black and the Green—red, representing sacrifice; black durability, green, the vivacity of life; a grand and sublime combination that will catch the world that is receding from justice back to Paganism and bring it back into God and righteousness and establish through it the first democracy the world has ever seen. Then the historian will dip his pen in the glittering radiance of the sun and write upon the bosom of yonder blue ether at last. The stone that the builders of civilization for centuries has rejected has become the head stone in the corner." (Agplause.) ODE ON THE REDEMPTION OF AFRICA By MARION 8. LAKEY On awashy leader.

Although why to act, instead of permanently, we cannot understand. Dr Garrard is no new man here. For many years he did very good work in the same district and earned the grateful thanks of the country people for his prompt attention to their wants when sick, and would have still been at the job if he had been fairly dealt with by the late Mr. Mahaffy. Since he left the District, as a result of the ill treatment which he received, it has been without a medical officer except insofar as this same Dr Garrard was subsequently induced to take a up-pick job which he afterwards gave up. This was certainly no credit to the Government. And now that His Excellency the Governor has been pleased to acknowledge the injustice which the people of that extensive district have been suffering from we see no reason why the appointment should not be made a permanent one We read in a recent issue of the Port of Spain Gazette that: "Fruit growers in British Gulana have been asked to co-operate and furnish data with respect to the possibility of establishing a trade with England, says the London "Times." Capitalists in the United Kingdom are interesting themselves in the venture. It is possible to send among other products of the colony bananas, sapodilla, oranges, pineapple, star apple, sorrel coconut, sugar apple, guava, and granadilla, to the British markets." There is something in this to claim the attention of local planters. Dominica produces most of the articles mentioned in the extract. Besides this we produce as good oranges and grape fruit as are being grown in the West Indies. Jamaica is doing remarkably well with her bananas, for which there is a splendid market in New York. Here we are struggling with just a few strings to our bow, whereas we possess a soil that will grow almost anything that is put into it in the shape of plant. What, too, about mangoes, mangosteens, etc. How long will our planters remain lethargic to this particular class of industry? PHYLLIS WHEATLEY HOTEL AND BOOKER WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY Garvey must go!

THE TURKISH VOLCANO today and Sunday, September 16 and appeared in the New York America massacre in Smyrna, Asia Minor ON Saturday and Sunday, September 16 and 17, glaring headlines appeared in the New York American regarding the Turkish massacre in Smyrna, Asia Minor. The headlines stated on September 16, "Sword and Fire Kill 1,000 in Smyrna. All City Burns; Fighting in Streets. Allies Join to Stop Kemal's March . . . Greeks Report Big Massacre by Turk Who Are Said to Have Started Conflagration Raging for Two Days. Kemal's Forces Reported Thirty-five Miles from Constantinople - Britain France and Italy Unite to Protect Dardanelles." The Daily News of the same date began an article by John Clayton, stating Three fifths of Smyrna is in ashes and more than 300,000 persons are home less as the fire burns itself out after destroying the entire Armenian, Greek and foreign quarters. The financial loss is close to $300,000,000 and approximately $17,000,000 is America's share." And the New York American on Sunday, September 17, stated that at least a thousand patients in the Smyrna hospitals were burned to death This massacre, coming at a time when the League of Nations was holding a peace conclave and dove-like pow wow in Geneva, Switzerland, fell like a bolt from the blue upon a startled world. What is the cause of the sudden catyclysm and volcanic eruption? This is the aftermath of the world's war, whose affairs were not satisfactorily adjusted at the peace conference in Versailles. The Turks under General Kemal are attempting to regain Constantinople and re-establish their empire in Europe. The wholesale massacre and the burning of Smyrna was a side show, which is occasionally one of the incidents of war when the passions of men have become aggravated. The Daily News stated that the Smyrna massacre may stir up fresh war of Turks and Christians. But the Turkish peace terms indicate that this is not a religious, but a political, war, a war to regain lost territory and political prestige. The first three terms state this unequivocably. They demand "I That all the occupied areas of Anatolia and Thrace be turned back to Turkey. "2. That the Greek troops remaining in Turkey be surrendered unconditionally to the Turks along with their arms and munitions "3. That the 'enemy' recognize Turkish sovereignty in Thrace and Asia Minor." The ethics of modern warfare justifies any nation regaining by force what was wrested from them by force, but the ethics of modern warfare does not sanction the massacre and burning of civilians, the murder of old men and women and infants and the raping of young girls. The world remembers the massacre of the Armenians by the Turks twenty-seven years ago and has repeatedly condemned subsequent massacres by the Turks of Armenians and other Christians. Some critics blame the Mohammedan religion for the brutality and cruelty of the Turks. The world calls the religious movement started by the prophet Mohammed Mohammedanism and his followers Mohammedans. But they call themselves Moslems and Muslims and they call their religion Mosleism. But whether their religion is called Mohammedanism or Moslemism or Mussulmanism, it is not directly responsible for the Armenian and Smyrna massacres and the massacre of Greeks by the Turks any more than the Christian religion is directly responsible for the lynching and burning of human beings in the Southern States of America, the brutality of the British and Boers in South Africa and the cruelty of the Belgians in the Congo. It only indicates that Moslemism has found it as difficult to tame the unbridled passions and innate savagery of fierce Bedouin tribes and warlike Arabs as Christianity has of Celt and Teuton. There is nothing in the Koran to justify the slaughter of innocent civilians, but we must also take into consideration that Jesus of Nazareth preached a gospel of love and that his followers propagated his gospel by preaching, while Mohammed and his followers sought to found an empire upon religion, welded church and State and propagated their religion by the sword. The immediate followers of Christ endeavored to convert men by persuasion. The immediate followers of Mohammed endeavored to convert men by coercion. As Christianity and Mohammedanism sprang from somewhat different roots and seeds, they naturally issue in somewhat different fruits. Despite its polygamy there is much in Moslemism that is uplifting. It preaches a lofty monotheism and the immortality of the soul and encourages its believers to be manly and generous. It is sweeping over Africa like a tidal wave because it inculcates manliness of character in its believers. Christianity respects womanhood more than Moslemism does and may have a more fatherly conception of God and a loftier conception of immortality. But it will be difficult for Christianity to supplant Moslemism in Africa because the Christians too often divorce practice and precept and do not manifest the loys that they wax eloquent about in talks. Jesus of Nazareth gave to the world the noblest idealism that it has as-yet seen. The problem and difficulty is to mould and chisel the rough stuff of humanity into the likeness of that matchless ideal. NEGRO JOURNALISM A monogamous national convention of the Negro concerned the discussion of this subject was dealt with by men the scholarly way in which they status as it relates to our group. In the discussions it was broad running parallel with other esteemed opinion and directing the conduct over our opinion of our conduct is it a reflection of the impression encing institutions and that journeys does the home, church school, frat shaping this opinion and conduct.

As a remedy for these evils exist recommend organization. Through nominees and political freedom values, people and a the many vital subjects discussed at the annual convention of the Negro peoples of the world, urged the discussion of the "Negro Press" the fact was dealt with by men high up in Negro journals only way in which they treated the subject or relates to our group. In discussions it was brought out that journalists parallel with other established institutions in directing the conduct of our group constituent opinion or our conduct, whether wholesome or action of the impression made on our minds by institutions and that journalism plays no smaller role, church school, fraternal and political organizations, opinion and conduct. In meeting journalism its status in our social order discussions were vehement appeals for a form of Negro literature claiming that the press journalism is at a very low ebb. The following reasons cause the general economic condition of ignorance of Negro journalists financial status and political organizations, and fear to criticize because of certain dogma tastened on our group. Trained unbursed and unsubsidized mind is poised with the delegates in their discussion. It is for fundamental influence behind Negro journalism. The Negro, because of his color and connection in certain mental economic grooves, the unstable economic state which unites him in means he should. This condition applies to professional men alike. The Negro journalism with honesty of purpose and conviction this operation he is brought face to face with means he must succumb to the oftentimes peculiar political and social subsides or retaliation of endeavor and rather than retire he often commits. Aive per cent of the Negro newspapers of North news by the Associated Negro Press, and asked to run an advertisement of the Overton Illustrators of a hair preparation. I accept such advice the conviction of some Negro journalists, but because status and the absence of other news agencies they go without news. The Associated Negro Press Association Hygiene Co., which enables this company to the Negro newspapers of America, institution of Negro journalism like the Negro because of the lack of trained leadership. In its operation was started and to a large extent today is limited training and experience and our prime educational, social, economic and political work with these men. Journalism calls for our best minds whose endowment is generous, enriched by education and experience suited for this specific work. It is gratifying to Negro journalism is following the footsteps of leading to the demand of the public by empowering the efforts to propagate this vital work. It is a common men of the race pursuing the study of journal universities. Journalism is also suffering from the present condition. This condition has been fastened on the Negro tradition. A few year ago it was suicidally criticize even constructively the church, to add partly other than the Republican party, to unsuccession problems of sex and morals, etc. Negro" still possesses the modern Negro journals enough "grit" and backbone to free his vital state, so long will Negro journalism continue for these evils existing in Negro journalism and organization. Through organization will be political freedom, essential requisites for people and a standard form of journalism. AMONG the many vital subjects discussed at the third international convention of the Negro peoples of the world we considered the discussion of the "Negro Press" the most vital. This subject was dealt with by men high up in Negro journalism, and the scholarly way in which they treated the subject clarified its status as it relates to our group. In the discussions it was brought out that journalism today is running parallel with other established institutions in moulding opinion and directing the conduct of our group constituency. Whatever our opinion of our conduct is, whether wholesome or dissipated, it is a reflection of the impression made on our minds by our influencing institutions and that journalism plays no smaller part than does the home, church school, fraternal and political organizations in shaping this opinion and conduct. After conceding journalism its status in our social organism, the succeeding discussions were vehement appeals for a more highly developed form of Negro literature claiming that the present status of Negro journalism is at a very low ebb. The following reasons were given is the causes. The general economic condition of the race lamentable ignorance of Negro journalists financial subsidies by capitalistic and political organizations, and fear to criticize certain conditions because of certain dogma fastened on our group by tradition. The trained unbiased and unsubsidized mind is persuaded to sympathize with the delegates in their dis- issue. It is a fact that the lai- er fundamental influence be- lone. Negro, ruralism is in economic one. The Negro, because of his color and condition, is forced to function in certain mental economic grooves thereby forcing him in an unstable economic state which limits him in supporting his periodicals is he should. (This condition applies to the Negro business and professional men alike.) The Negro journalist may start his profession with honesty of purpose and conviction, but after a few months' operation he is brought face to face with these grim facts, which means he must succumb to the oftentimes poisonous influences of economical political and social subsides or retire from his chosen field of endeavor, and rather than retire he often overwhelmedly succumbs. Ninety five per cent of the Negro newspapers of America are supplied with news by the Associated Negro Press, and in return they are asked to run in advertisement of the Overton Hygiene Co. manufacturers of a hair preparation. I accept such advertisement against the conviction of some Negro journalists, but because of their economic status and the absence of other news agencies, they are tried to accept a go without news. The Associated Negro Press is subsulized by the Overton Hygiene Co., which enables this company to subsulize 95 per cent of the Negro newspapers of America. The institution of Negro journalism like the Negro hutch has suffered because of the lack of trained leadership. In its inception, this institution was started and to a large extent today is controlled by men of limited training and experience and our opinions relative to our educational, social, economic and political wellbeing are moulded by these men. Journalism calls for our best minds those endowed with capacity and genious, enriched by education and experience and technically trained for this specific work. It is gratifying to note that modern Negro journalism is following the footsteps of the church in responding to the demand of the public by employing trained men on their staffs to propagate this vital work. It is a common thing to find young men of the race pursuing the study of journalism in our ranking universities. Negro journalism is also suffering from the psychological "dogma" fear. This condition has been fastened on the Negro journalist by tradition. A few year ago it was suicidal for Negro papers to criticize even constructively the church, to advocate any political party other than the Republican party, to discuss contrary to Negro convention problems of sex and morals, etc. This psychological "dogma" still possesses the modern Negro journalist, and until he marshals enough "grit" and backbone to free himself from such a mental state, so long will Negro journalism continue to suffer. As a remedy for these evils existing in Negro journalism we would recommend organization. Through organization will come economic social and political freedom, essential requisites for the advancement of people and a standard form of journalism.

TURKISH PEACE TERMS INCREASE FEARS OF WAR LONDON, Sept. 16.—Fears of another great world war pervaded the chancelleries of Europe today as they considered the Turkish peace terms and awaited a reply to the Allied ultimatum warning the Angora Government it must not invade Europe. Here are the Turkish terms: 1. That all the occupied areas of Anatolia and Thrace be turned back to Turkey. --- It is discussed at the third international Negro peoples of the world we confine "Negro Press" the most vital high up in Negro journalism, and we treated the subject clarified its right out that journalism today is published institutions in moulding of our group constituency. What whether wholesome or dissipated, made on our minds by our influence plays no smaller part than informal and political organizations in status in our social organism, the moment appeals for a more highly claiming that the present status of the Negro. The following reasons were economic condition of the race journalists' financial subsides by motions, and fear to criticize certain tastened on our group by subsized mind is persuaded to share the issue. It is a fact that before Negro journalism in case of his color and condition, is economic grooves thereby tortate which units him in supporting his condition applies to the Negro like. The Negro journalist may purpose and conviction, but after might face to face with these grim lab to the oftentimes poisonous in social subsides or return from his than return he often overwhelm. Negro newspapers of America are created Negro Press, and in return of the Overton Hygiene Commission, except such advertisement journalists, but because of their other news agencies they are freed associated Negro Press is subsized enables this company to subsize 95 of America journalism like the Negro church has named leadership.

That the Greek troops remaining in Turkey be surrendered unconditionally to the Turks along with their arms and munitions. 3. That the enemy recognize Turkish sovereignty in Thrace and Asia Minor. 4.

That all persons guilty of atrocities be handed over to the Turkish Nationalists for punishment Angora officials are quoted as saying no other terms will be accepted. FOREIGN AFFAIRS By H. G. MUDGAL The "unspeakable" Turk has proved at last a reasoning being. The "death-dealing" Turk has proved nobility of heart and piety and that is all that distinguishes them from the pious Christians. We, all the Christians, have a peculiar and sometimes ridiculous psychology that revolts against the Turk, irrespective of his merits. We believe in anything and everything that the Greeks or their super lords the British may please to dispatch, but we countenance the Turk's words with grave suspicion. While we write this we have in mind the proclamation of Mustapha Ikemal Pasha, who issued an order to his victorious army forbidding them to commit any atrocity on the civilian Christians on penalty of death. It was worthy of the Pasha and of his pure life. He is a bachelor still at the age of thirty. He cannot be expected as a man of noble character and as a guide of the Turks' destiny to promote or even ignore the misconduct of his army or civilians. It we have less or religious hatred and more of political fair play we will be able to understand Turkey in a different light altogether. The same we love better for both of us. The Turkish Nationalists have scored a complete victory, keeping Constantine's army which was really an army of occupation of a territory on which they had not the least right. Of course the Greeks were led to play this game at the instigation of Great Britain. The Welsh "wizard," or little George and the chowder pated Curzon wanted Greece to play their weak cards. Mr George and Lord Curzon are aware of the fact that their empire which is, in fact an Asiatic empire, is tottering and they wanted to save it possible by establishing a military and aerial base on the former Turkish territory. This is surely a plan of Great Britain to suppress revolution in India that may arise at any moment. That is why they are willing to be tools by creating troubles in Palestine, Mesopotamia, Arabia Turkey Greece and elsewhere. The British are the master oroks in the Near East. President Obregon of Mexico opened in person the Thirtieth Congress of the United Mexican States on September 1. This is considered, in responsible political circles in Mexico as the most important session since the establishment of the republic in 1821. Possibly so. This congress proposes to start a central bank, probably on the lines of the Federal Reserve Bank of the United States and the bank will be named as the Bank of Mexico. Mexico also intends to resume service on her foreign debt. This means the restoration of her business which is the key to her economic reconstruction. Still there is the question of recognition of the Mexican Government by foreign governments. But it is very unwelcome Mexico to wait for recognition from states which have lost the sense of fair statecraft. The visit of Secretary of Finance Adolfo de la Huerta to the United States and his discussions with the bankers have cleared the way for such recognition. But still the United States is adhering to a fatal policy and is unwilling to recognize the Obregon government, which has undoubtedly proved as successful as the Harding government if not more so unless guarantees to safeguard the oil interests he incorporated in a treaty. This is very exasperating to any government that has a sense of honor and credibility. But in the meanwhile the Mexicans should utilize all their energies in reconstructing their economic situation and the recognition will automatically follw as the shadow follows the body "Recognition will come to those who know how to wait if they work while they wait." The word comes from Tokyo that the Prince of gent Hirobuto has announced a thrill in connection with his marriage. He is betrothed to Princess Nagako Kumi. The Prince is a young man who has surprised the world with so many sensational performances during the last two years. The new surprise in question is that he insists upon his marriage being austerely simple. This reveals that the Prince seems to have inherited that genial and pure ardor of simplicity from his grandfather, the Poet-Mikado But . . . but they are going to spend five million yen, which is two million and a half dollars in wild revelry, processions, feasts and banquets. The Emperor is going to entertain three thousand rich parasites who represent nobility, aristocracy and their kind. The workers and peasants will, of course, bear all the expense. They will have to feast on the pictures of the royal marriage in new-paper at the extra expense of one sen more. This is a fair sample of royal simplicity. Germany is enveloped in many crises. One of them is the reparations crisis. However, Herr Hugo Stunnes has come to the rescue. But there are others. For instance, the Bavarian monarchic threat, the internal financial crisis owing to the fall of the mark to an unfathomable bottom, the industrial unrest though apparently satisfied, etc. The monarchic threat may not be so serious is to alarm the republic at the present time. But the financial crisis is imminent. Business continues, however, in face of all threatening dangers and impediments, but production is not in a healthy condition. Every week the scale of wages is to be revised and even at that the worker may have to starve before the next payday arrives. The cure for all theseills is the stabilization of the mark. This cannot be done without external aid. For that externaiaid Germany looks forward to America. But America has turned a deaf ear hitherto. The time has come for America when she can no longer wait and see the patient dying of financial tuberculosis, whose carcass, if dead, will nauseate the whole world.

These young men when they left the comforts of their own homes felt that they were only coming to another in England. These cold-shouldering processes going on here can only tend to make these fellows feel a revolutionary spirit toward all Englishmen when they return to their respective homes. The holiday season is coming on here now and many of these young men will be required to seek lodgings among people who are too poor to go away on holidays. When the time comes for their respective landlades to go away all lodging houses (except models) and hotels are closed against dark men, as there is always a waiting list when they apply—full up, etc. Another handicap to our boys is that --- landladdies will charge them a higher rate than they do other lodgers and give our boys poorer service I know of cases where students pay £1 per week for a plainly-furnished, small back bedroom and the entire rental of the whole house is under £25. The same room was let to others before for 12 shillings per week so you see we are not only fleeced in Africa India and Egypt, but everywhere we go Why? Because we have no competitive means of retaliation or helping ourselves. The English capitalist and political press publish great misleading revelations of recently discovered man-eating cannibals through the medium of their missionaries and whiskey-running aries. Then their cunning cartoonists and caricaturists come in with their dreadful pictures of the feast of these black cannibals cating human flesh and this makes the visionary British landlords' flesh creep at the first sight of a man-eating race, and they slam the door in the poor student's face and he is left to wonder what is wrong in good old England, the land of roses and Basses in good old Scotland, the land of Bibles, missionaries and Johnny Walker. For my part I feel it is time the colored people all over the world should stop laughing and gratening at English men's and women's success and progress at his expense in his very own country and get down to real industrial and commercial business. We require a boarding house in all big cities for our students so that they can associate with each other and read the literature and industrial and commercial dings of their own people in all parts of the world Hastial isolation will never help us to be a power among men even though we have the cream of the world a wealth given us by old Dame Nature. Will you not awake from your lethargy? If you will not then let us bid the Englishmen to man's, Frenchmen Americans Italians, Spaniards Portuguese Belgians, etc. Godspeed in the final act of isolating us in universal industrial and commercial pursuits and let the world think rightly—that we are only put on this earth to be howers of wood and drawers of water for the forty-five or fifty million Europeans while our sons and daughters number no less than 400 000 000 with no welding force behind them. In England I have known our youths to be put out into the streets pennies with nowhere to go for sho尔ter because they could not pay their way for a short period. We have no way of one helping the other and oftentimes those who might help their own would rather spend their time and means in a theatre with white girls or sometimes appreciate on horses that seem English hooked secret for them. Yet he knows how he is scorned and cold shouldered by the majority when he or his has nothing to ponies. The sooner that the Negro learns that wide mouth sulphous gas will him not have a nor cause any good I think the sooner he will begin to make sacrifices for a sound international industry and commercial policy of cooperation and participation in general trade, to have other men. The fault is ours as we are given too much to satisfy. I am desirous of hearing of any complaint from stables or men of or from any part of the world who face they have a safe and a hardship. If we bring I wish to point out to you that one is not be they brown or black, but is not respected any in that that by a white friend is and that that by a foolish idea for one cannot man and should for another because they come from different colonies or from different parts of the world. We have been planted in different parts of the world by our fell asses in school land and ministry, friends who wish to keep us separated for the grief of selfish common good and the student or other men of our who are so stupid as to lead themselves to the wrong system in dolls and do not know the history of our own people nor that of the fool assassins who displayed such great and yet deplorable military ambition on the fields of Landa and throughout Europe within recent years. Than the black criminal was a hero, the mass murderer mentioned the re- discoveries nor the cartoonist at his open. Keep the above fact before you until you get in your ranks far less cultured able and willing to express the truth about those who today delight in cir- culating librious defamatory lies against us in all hands forgetting their own murder, criminal, drunken and divorce-court records. We who know well willingly come out into the open and compare actual deed for deed before the world. Why fear an evil, for? JLO W DANIELS 13 Maxwe Rd Glasgow SC and PERSONAL AFFAIRS AGAINST RACIAL AFFAIRS, PLEASE WIPE OUT As I am writing this article I am carried away to a happening of this vicinity. As I was talking with some people not very many days ago I happened to ask them to join the greatest movement ever known to us, and these are the words they said. "I would join but there are certain parties in the local that I do not care to associate with." How absurd? The idea of bringing personal affairs into anything that is going to do the race good. In my opinion and I believe that I am right, if I can do anything while I am living that will do the unborn generation of this great race of ours any good, away with personal affairs, I do not give the snap of my finger. Why make the coming generation go through with what we have gone through? Think of the present America for over one hundred and forty-six years they have been preparing for the yet unborn generation and we are some of us, going around with hatred in our hearts, one against the other and continually giving our money to the other races. I only wish that I could get every one to see as I do but that is impossible. I myself am very young though I have caught the spirit of the movement, and I shall do all in my power to bring about the readjustment of our race. When the great curtain of the world will rise believe me, the Negro race is going to lead in the great race drama that is going to be played among the four races of the world. I say four because there is very little we hear of the red man he is what you call exterminated and if we do not got together and organize the same fate awaits us. Sincerely yours. LOYAL U. N. I. A.

Sept $1.—Allow me the valuable space in your paper to express our sympathy towards Mrs. F Richardson, an active member of this great movement and wife of Mr. John Richardson, who passed away on August 28 from this world to eternity.

A. PHILIP RANDOLPH GOT A HAND. HE SHOULD KNOW. "YOU SAID IT!" Secretary General of the U N I A. This boy Randolph has earned the right to a permanent place in the Hall of Jokers. A few days ago it was reported that he had received a hand from the ku Klux Klan. He denied then that this hand was sent from the ku Klux Klan but said it was the work of some Negro. He had full support in that view for many people who had a keen sense of analysis of the criminal nature surrounding that hand, felt that the Negro who got the New York under order to cut off that hand and made it to Robolph was none other than Randolph himself. Now Mr. Randolph had a change of heart caused by an injured letter he received from New Orleans on September 12 and he now believes that the hand actually came from the ku Klux Klan. It appears that Mr. Randolph over looked a few important details in springing this joke on the public and let he should make the same error when he deeds to mail himself an other hand we wish to point out a few inconsistencies. A hand supposing to come from the Ku Kliz Klan would not have been a white hand like the one Randolph resisted for the white man is not present. He have a Negro shake his hand even though that hand a dead and shopped off. Moreover the Ku Kliz Klan does not make it a practice of cut off the hands of white men. It is strange that Randolph did not think of these things when he pulled off the hand. A common sense should have told him that the proper course of the hand he had devised to himself alluded to have black But what is consistent to a bunch of ladies who stock in trade is sensation? They had to have something to draw the crowd and they knew how crazy, crazy people are about hands. They will give their dollar for a hard. This is just proven on many occasions.

WILLIAMS SPEAKS The next speaker was Hon Vernal J. Williams Assistant Counsel-General, who said If there ever was a time when the existence of the Universal Negro Improvement Association is justified, it is now, and our existence is justified not only as a national power in this country not only as a power in the Western Hemisphere but as an organised international power U. N I A Haa Received International Recognition Never before in the history of the world has any Negro organisation received the international recognition as has the Universal Negro Improvement Association (Applause). Doubless you have all read or heard of the reports that have come out of the League of Nations at Geneva, that our ambassadors, our minister plenipotentiary and our representatives have gone before the League of Nations and they have not only gone before the League of Nations, but the League of Nations has lent them its ears. Our Ambassadors Heard by League of Nations Never before in the history of the world has such a remarkable achievement of this race of our taken place as has taken place during the last week. What does that mean? It means that the powers of the world have recognized the Universal Negro Improvement Association as the organization through which the black peoples of the world are speaking (Applause) On Threshold of Another Great War On Thursday of November Great War Tonight we are standing on the threshold of another great war. Tonight the world faces perhaps one of the greatest Armageddonia in its history. I remember during the days of the late war a professor of Cambridge University in England who came to this country to lecture said that after the war is over and conditions in the world remained as unstable, as unsettled, as undesired as they were during the days of the ante bellum period a greater war would follow to which when compared the present struggle in Europe would seem only as child a play. True my friends. That prophecy is coming to pass. The late war ended with the injustice, the unfairness still existing in this world and we are about to enter into another war which must decide for all times the future of the peoples of the world. Christianity Against Mohammedanism We face a struggle between the faith of Christianity on one hand and the forces of Mohammedanism on the other, a struggle between the world of Islam and our world, a struggle which will determine the future not only of the Western peoples of the world, but will determine the future of Asia, the future of Africa. Can Black Mon Remain Indifferent? Can black men remain indifferent in a struggle like this? The day has come to pass when the very obligations will be cast upon black men which the Universal Negro Improvement Association has been predicting. The day has come when the voice of Africa will be heard from shore to shore, not only from Constantinople down to Gallipoli, not only from the Dardanelles down to Syriya, but the voice of Africa shall resound or tuggle throughout the four corners of the world, and that is the day when our organization with our legions, with our leaders with our men who in times past led this movement will stand up and tell the world that the things we preached in the past are happening today. The Voice of This Organization Can Never Be Stilled And my friends, the enemies may fight the enemies may try to suppress the movement, the enemies may place stocks and barriers in the path, the enemies may corral if they will the white forces of the world that are trying to suppress this movement because they fear it the enemies backed by the finance of Europe may try to fight but that voice the voice of warning which the Universal Negro Improvement Association sent out in the past—the voice that this organization sent out across the Atlantic and across the Pacific—that when this war came the black man will determine the balance of power that voice can never be stilled. That voice, though the torrents of earth and hell may rage shall be heard through the sounds of many waters. The day is coming and we must stand up and hold on, hold on because the redemption of Africa is near. How Africa Will Be Freed The very men who hold Africa by her neck, the very men who are trying to strangle the continent of our ancestors they themselves, because of their own joyousies of each other are going to free her with their swords and spears. Shall we not then hold on? Shall we not then forget the enemy? Shall we not push forward because the Universal Negro Improvement Association is here to stay, it is going to be here till Shiloh comes. (Great applause) HON. W. O. SYMER SPEAKS Hon W O. Symer. Commissioner of Minas. sppl. Alabama and Louisiana, spoke as follows: Listening to the two previous speakers there came a number of thoughts into my mind that probably might be of great value to us in forming a conclusion as to what will be the inevitab's result of our great fight. The thought came to me from Captain Gainas' remarks about the challenge of the Universal Negro Improvement Association by disgruntled members. I should like to call your attention to this thought. A man who has had sufficient force of vision, sufficient strength of character to organize a mighty, gigantic constructive organization of 4,000,000 human beings that has risen in its might to challenge the accumulated intellectual development of the white world for the liberty of his people need not care very much about meeting the challenge of a few disgruntled Negroes. (Applause.) American Negro Has a Limited Vision The great trouble with the Negro, it seems to me, is a limited vision. It is quite unfortunate, and yet we must THE NEGRO WORLD. SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER 23. 1922 JUST THE PLACE FOR YOU Attend the Regular Thursday Night RECEPTION AND BANQUET AT THE PHYLLIS WHEATLEY HOTEL 3-13 West 136th Street, New York City Good Music, Good Environment Black Star Line Band in Attendance Regular Admission 50c Including Midnight Supper, $1.00 Come and Enjoy Yourself appreciate the fact that we get the wrong conception of the Negro's position in society Education that does not produce is worthless in the growth of society I may take my diploma and hang it on the wall, but until I produce some of the mighty things that are essential to the growth and development of society my education is worth nothing to the development of the world. He that merely to grow eloquent make speeches and present petitions rings and bow before men instead of becoming a man fails to create that line of thought that will compel the world to respect us The trouble with the Negro very largely may be based upon the idea that he fails to see the things that are no easy to make him a man. Made New Man of Old Material Made New Man of Old Material If I had the time to talk to you and give sufficient thought to this subject I would draw your attention to this fact that only a creative mind is worthy of a place in society. The thing that Hon Marcus Garvey has done is he has made out of the old material and brain a new man (Applause) He has made out of the cranging knee and the suppliant falling at the feet of another race of men a man himself who today has decided to take a man's place in the battle of life asking nobody but God That brought him into existence. So that in the final analysis the Garvey philosophy has awakened the Negro, has stirred him up and created a new psychology in his mind aroused him from the guts and forests of North Carolina to the golden gate of the peaceful Pacific and told him Your house is on fire the time to sleep is just (Applause) Remarkable Inventors by Men of the Race Another thought that came to me in regard to the possibility of a new war is this. You must be aware of the fact that there is a constant change in the mental concept of black men that the world has taken an appreciation of in the city of Pittsburgh we have a man that has introduced a gas that will destroy all material and animal life within a radius of 200 yards square if that gas is turned loose in this building it will decompose the life of the material and the brick and the tin the posts will rot and crumble in thirty days. Another member of our organization whose name I cannot afford to offer at this time has stumbled on an invention that is the introduction of a scientific effort that connects to some extent a radiotic and electric force. By setting up a battery on the hillside in the woods and running a tube in the ground connected with a gangion of wires sent out into the river, then highly charging them it will convert every piece of steel within a radius of two miles. The Philosophy of the Garvey Movement I want to say, my friends, that if the philosophy of the Garvey movement would be grazed by the race, there would be no question of our future. The unfortunate thing is that the Negro worships God but serves and fears the white man. If we could just get that out of him and let him know that God is God and if he put his hands in the mighty hand of the immortal God and looks only to God he will aweep like brace before him every obstacle that forces disgust his right of way. Therefore I want to urge you to rush on with this grand and glorious effort. Move forward, go not down. Mark you, the darkest hour is always just before the dawn. God Almighty, the maker of the heavens and the earth, know what He was doing when way back yonder before the hills in order stood. He planned a solution of this problem. It was then that God planned that when the great and mighty social upheavals began to erupt and shake the world, when black men had become puppets, and when the time arrived for Ethiopia to stretch forth hands and cry, that He would speak to a woman on the island of Jamaica and tell that woman that she shall bring forth a son and his name shall be Marcus, and a government shall rest upon his shoulder. God knew what He was doing. He foresaw before the hills in order stood, before the sons of God shouted together upon Mars hill that this hour was coming, and God Almighty prepared a man to lead the people out of darkness into the brilliant light of the sun. Let us stand to our guns and go down with the ship, knowing he that fightsth to the last is the victorious soldier Unleash our minds from the skepticism and doubts of the past, and if men have waded through blood to empires, black men, if it is necessary to be men to do so, will wade through blood to empires and lift the Red, the Black and the Green up out of the dust and place it upon the hilltop of Africa. (Applause.) Then before our dying day we shall look forward and see floating in the breeze the emblems that have made their impress upon the pages of history, and we ask the angels of destiny "What of this?" the angels of destiny will reply "These are the emblems of nations that have made a great impress upon the pages of history." Then we will see a new emblem unfurling to the breeze, and we ask destiny What is that? and destiny will reply "That is the lited, the Black and the Green—red, representing sacrifice, black durability, green the vivacity of life a grand and sublime combination that will catch the world that is receding from justice back to Paganism and bring it back unto God and righteousness and establish through it the first democracy the world has ever seen. Then the historian will dip his pen in the glittering radiance of the sun and write upon the bosom of yonder blue ether at last The stone that the builders of civilization for centuries has rejected has become the head stone in the corner.

God for evermore~ WEST INDIA NOTES We are glad to learn that the Government has appointed Dr Garrard to act as Medical Officer of the Grand-bay District. Although why to act instead of permanently we cannot understand. Dr Garrard is no new man here. For many years he did very good work in the same district and earned the grateful thanks of the country people for his prompt attention to their wants when sick and would have still been at the job if he had been fairly dealt with by the late Mr Mahaffy. Since he left the District, as a result of the ill treatment which he received, it has been without a medical officer except insofar as this same Dr Garrard was subsequently induced to take up a patch-up job, which he afterwards gave up. This was certainly no credit to the Government. And now that His Excellency the Governor has been pleased to acknowledge the injustice which the people of the extensive district have been suffering from we see no reason why the appointment should not be made a permanent one. We read in a recent issue of the Port of Spain Gazette that "Pruit growers in British Guiana have been asked to co-operate and furnish data with respect to the possibility of establishing a trade with England, says the London "Times." Capitalists in the United Kingdom are interesting themselves in the venture. It is possible to send among other products of the colony bananas, sapodilla, oranges, pineapple, star apple, sorrel coconuts, sugar apple, guava, and granadilla, to the British markets." There is something in this to claim the attention of local planters. Dominica produces most of the articles mentioned in the extract. Besides this we produce as good oranges and grape fruit as are being grown in the West Indies. Jamaica is doing remarkably well with her bananas, for which there is a splendid market in New York. Here we are struggling with just a few strings to our bow, whereas we possess a soil that will grow almost anything that is put into it in the shape of plant. What, too, about mangoes, mangosteens, etc. How long will our planters remain lethargic to this particular class of industry?

Now just what is your mind when you speak of equivale. A common understandance of the point would help in any discussion of the issue. 1. Can the word equality admit of adjectives or modifying epithets or phrases? When men speak of social equality "political equality" industrial equality "moral equality" and so on are they under the sole of a type of sociology analogous to the other compartment psychology? As the human being is an organism, so the human mind is unitary. Fundering of parts, for the one as for the other can be only for purposes of scientific analysis, but not for reality or for life. These fluid parts all run together into the current of life constituting man as man. It is not given to one to isolate a faculty, all one can claim to be able to do is to focus it for purposes of study. But as one so studies it one finds it suffused and dripping with the fluid of entity from the fountain of life. The word *equality* expresses a complete idea. If A is equal to B the relationship is complete and no qualifying addenda would be necessary to clarify the relationship. To presume such would be a prima fide denial of the validity of the idea itself. In the very nature of the case, therefore, *equality* as an instrument in identification is within its rights only in the field of discourse. To remove it from the realm of concretion in discourse where it properly belongs into the realm of concretion in existence is to do violence to the very nature of the concept 2. Does the word "equality" convey an idea that finds objectification in concrete life? Is there such a thing as empirical equality? You trace the nature of existence from the most rudimentary to the most highly complex organism and you can find no two individual units of anything bearing such relationship to each other. No two snowflakes, no two leaves of foliage, no two animals are "equal" the one to the other. Press equality to its logical issue and you have nothing but identity. The Southern railroads take advantage of this disparity between the looseness of speech and coarse ideation. They know full well that by declaring for "equal" accommodation, as against "identical" accommodation, they could in fact, give the Negro on public carriers any sort of accommodation, for the thing means nothing definite and fixed, there being no absolute criterion of values. As applied to the problem of the contact and attrition of races to be equal can have but one significance, namely, to be identical. What does that mean? It means the settlingion of all that is contained in the concept individuality, and the melting down of all and sundry differences that make racial, tribal, national and other natural groupings of people what they are. Metaphysically the idea of "equality" connotes sameness. That which makes the Declaration of Independence immortal is its metaphysical aura. "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal," is expressive of a sentiment in which an ideal state is contemplated. And such is indeed a democracy in theory. The principle is the soundest one possible. In a democracy no clashes of interests, no farringe of ideas, no discordant notes are contemplated. All for each and each for all must fuse into a state of rapturous felicity, a state which does not now exist. Actually the idea "equality" suggests a sort of similarity so vague and ill-defined as to elude the focus of the careful investigator In mathematics equality obtains as between abstract figures and lifeless formulas. But as soon as the domain of life is approached, abstract equality yields sovereignty to concrete similarity, which admits of as many viewpoints as the number of individuals concerned who regard the given objects. Two objects regarded as similar by one person may be regarded as anything but similar by another individual. The cars provided for colored patrons of the road in the South, the separate waiting rooms, the separate schools, the separate living quarters, the separate media of social accommodation are all instances at hand. White folks declare they are equal (because similar), and colored folks just know that they are not. To make equal the synonym of similar in practical life reduces what claims to be an objective fact to the status of a subjective impression. wality as similarity, then, is an equivocal term. It has no objective validity. But to take an equivocal term that holds good only as an abstraction, and to apply it in the field of psychology is at once senseless and foolish. The philosophy of the Universal Negro Improvement Association is at one with the ontological idea of equality. But it takes a strenthright issue with that attitude of loathesse of speech that would artificially link his experience and reconstitute equivals of the word, and with that type of pseudoscience which speaks ethly of acquiescence in the presence of the male superior and persistent, self-identified, self-identified, for the self-professed that the male superior is inferior to the male superior, and the male superior is Weekly Sermon have to point out, in addition upon the utilization of others. It believes that the blood of the prospector the pioneer the trailmaker and pathfinder in the arteries and veins of Negroes and that preaches to Negroes the gospel of Negro pride Negroism to Negroes. It follows that for Negroes to company the trailmakers of militant keyes and servants they will be regarded as the inferior those whom they serve, which when men settle down to the matter of evaluating men as men, those who accomplish deeds by virtue of their own creative thought and effort are always placed on higher levels than those who are used in the work of the world as the hands and the machines of others. The equality which the U N I A By G. EMONEI CARTER Subject Lessons from a city scene Text. And as they were going down to the end of the city Samuel said to Saul. Did the servant pass on before us (and he passed on) but stand thou still a while, that I may shew the word of God!—1 Samuel ix, 27. We shall not concern ourselves very much about the historical and geo- graphical setting of this text. It is suf- ficient to know that the Saul, of his Kish, had gone in search of his father's straying asses. He reached Hann, where Samuel dwelt. He inquired of the Beer where he might find the lost asses. He spent a memorable night with Samuel, and in the early morning, when he was about to leave, the scene of the subject took place. There are four lessons we should gather from this study: First. Companionship in the city. They were going down to the end of the city." They were together in the city streets. Biblical record of cities is full of dramatic interest City life had a bad beginning. The first city was founded by a murderer, Cairn, and its name was Enoch Strange coincidence here. It really seems as if much of the evil of their origin still cleave to them Oh. the dolorousness of the cities all along the ages." Yet all things are to find their fulfillment in a city. City life is the final type of life. From the city of Enoch to the Holy City—what a course is that! The present drift is city-wards, while we cry back to the country or farm, the cities are being over-populated more and more, men gather in great numbers in the cities. What varieties we meet in the city. Men of all walks of life, of every endeavor. Who are they, going down to the city? Samuel was the most distinctive of the three. He was an honor to any city. Mentally morally, spiritually, a great man. Cities need such stalwarts. God is to be praised for great and dominant individualities. All men cannot be equal. God will not permit it. We desiderate outstanding genius, commanding figures, inspiring leaderships. Samuel was a good man. He carried the odor of sanctity wherever he went. He walked with God and carried himself in all prayerfulness, and beneficence, and purity. Men felt the force of his character. His life lightened and therefore his words thundered. Cities cannot do without such men. They are the true antiseptic. They preserve the city from putrefaction, and correct putrefaction. Amid moral decay they are as salt, charcoal, carbolic acid or whatever also has antiseptic value. Yes, it is the righteous men who save the city if it be savable. Even New York is not void of Samuel, noble souls, who have unceasing fellowship with God. Samuel was a prophet, he was a seer—one who sees what others cannot see—the unseen the eternal. He sees things in their true proportion. He sees God. It is a glorious thing to have seers in a city. Very often they are unheeded. We need prophetic voices to denounce evils of the city, to declare the goodness of the city and to console the sorrows of the city. Who else was in that company in Ranah's street? Saul—he described as a "choice young man." One of the modern city's most pressing problems is its young men. We must look after our young men and women. The city streets are full of peril. What companionship can we find the young man? That is a vital question. Get him into the company of the good, and he will also eruwhile become a prophet. Saul was full of promise. And the city abounds in such today. Shall it be fulfilled or shall it fail? Let us help to make it a success. Let us look at the third in the trio. A servant in Saul's house. We know nothing of this. He was probably earthy, absorbed in present things, secular in soul. Maybe he was a little better than a prodigal. Do we not have that class represented now in our cities? They are content with what is seen. They have no vision, no idea. They are not charged with crimes, but spiritually dead. See the three thrown together by the force of circumstances in the great city. They are side by side in the same city. Oh, servant of God, reach out and bless all you can. Young man be careful with whom you go in the city. Oh, earthly time, bound one, listen to the voice that calls you, wick of the streets, to higher fellow those who in God's name alike to bright worlds and lead the way. NEGRO WORLD. SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER 23. 1922 professes is the equality that connotes parity, not identity or similarity, but parity. And it is insisting on having an opportunity to prove to the world that out of the loins of the Negro race there can be born a civilization and a culture that would not suffer by comparison with the very best that the world has produced. But why does the U N I A. stress the matter of race? Why not address to the grand idea of humanity? For the simple reason that empirically speaking no such animal as humanity exists. In the world in which we live all though and not is produced by individuals or groups or both. The term a grouping is simply the most natural and logical of all the effective groupings of life for in addition to the purely psychological basis of homogeneity which must go to make up an effective group there is the physical basis with its powerful urge. What other men can do the Negro race can do. This is the justification we have for the doctrine of independent parallel development or equality of parity which the U N I A is preaching to the Negro people of the world. A. H MALONEY Samuel said to Saul. But the servant pass on before us. They traveled together, up to a certain point. Why? Evidently, because words were to be present) spoken, and experiences undergone, of which one of them was incompetent to be a witness. And why incompetent? Because he was a servant. Certainly not. Temporal position is no measure of worth. The outward is not an infallible reflection of the inward. It was. I am convinced, not his situation but his character. He was a slave in soul. He could not appreciate nor comprehend the things Samuel would discuss with Saul. Therefore, he must pass on. We must still have separation places in the city. Religion is the supreme separating force. Evermore true religion is a division force. The truth set at variance, its followers and those who makek a life. Another at indpoint from which we may see the separation is that Samuel wanted to discuss the word of God. It is necessary to play quits with even some friends, when it comes to living up to the truth Even it becomes necessary to separate from your own being. Many servants of the lower self the worldly one of your nature, you must bid pass on. If he is too much in your company he will ruin your life. Third Pause in the city. "Stand Then Still Awhile" In our cities there is little standing still save at the busy crossings. Life is a race, but we need more pauses. Many come and go, so that there is little leisure in the city. We do not need to stand still always, just a brief pause. Standing was a token of reverence in the East. It was the Jewish attitude of awe. Saul paused to listen to the oracles of God. Can we not emulate this example? It was early morning. It is very good to pause and to ponder, we begin our day's work. It is good to pause certain days. Certain hours, certain minutes. We need the chance to renew our strength for the many pressing ordeals. We need to pause in hours of excessive labor, of doubt, of sorrow, and when all seems depressing When critical circumstances demand a pause When we are passing through a crisis, let us pause. Then it is an individual call to halt "Stand then still awhile" It is a call to the young manhood in these tumultuous days. Let each of us learn to "Walt on the Lord" Halt and hear his messages through the whispings of your own consciences Fourth Expositions in the city. Saul was bidden to stand still that Samuel might show him I am convinced that the Bible is an inspired book and is the word of God and therefore should be known by every young man or woman, and whether they accept it or not. It should be read for its peculiar value. But one thing is certain, no man or woman ever tarries long on its pages but what he or she is benefited. The word of God is youth's best treasure. The word of God furnishes an excellent scheme of life. The word of God enables one to give his best service to his fellows. The word of God is a call to larger and more useful service. It was such with Saul. He was called from seeking asses to the ruling of a kingdom. God's word ever summons us on and upward, making "Execsoril" our motto. It makes every man a king, a ruler over himself, a monarch of that inner realm so often anarchic. Nothing can counteract or destroy the sins and sorrows of the city but the word of God. Let every city have the word of God. Let every preacher show the word of God. In it we find the Saviour revealed, the atonement for our all infinite sin, and then, too, we discover that through penitent trust in Him we may be forever saved. There we see how noble character may be built through years of storm and sunshine. Let it be your teacher. Hide it in your heart. Export great things from it, for "God hath yet more of light and truth to break forth from His Holy Word." NEGRO ART EXHIBITION IN HARLEM Miss E.

A white man shouted out to me, "You seemed to be dreaming all the night. And what mean you by that stately look?" Wake up, wake up, tempus fugit, "I mean to have no more of that." Was my somewhat sure reply, "Call me now the 'New Negro.' Or else I smash you down to hell." Wake up, wake up, tempus fugit. With but one more step for you, I guess you'll tell aright my dreams. But I must warn you as a friend, Don't you repeat your words again. PAGE SIDELIGHTS ON BATOUALA AND ITS REVIEWERS By J. A. ROGERS The world's verdict has been pronounced "Batouala" is conceded to be a masterpiece, Rend Maran, the author, is conceded to be, if not a genius, at least a literary artist of the very highest rank. Even the critics who do not "like" the book admit that it has "poetic qualities. What most of the reviewers point to are his descriptions of the great native dance and the hunt. They say he "creates an atmosphere of vast spaces and silence and mystery." They admire him because "underneath the fugitive () story one catches the heat, the morbidity, the decay of the jungle, the undercurrent of fatality," and so on. But are these undeniable qualities of "Bataoua" the crowning qualities that won Rene Maran the Prix Concourt? Are these the qualities that make some readers go back and back to this "astounding book"? Is Bataoua 'notable mainly for its vivid descriptions of tropical life'? Is it merely that for the first time primitive man has been described by a writer with remarkable powers of visualization and description—by a masterful colorist in words such as Maran undoubtedly is. No novel that I know of has ever been received with the wonder and delight with which *Honoula* has been received if that novel was strong only in its picturing of nature, manners, customs and the like. These are all outer things. A novel must do more than this. And *Honoula* has done more than this. It has gone beneath the surface. It has gone into the soul of a man. Ionic Maran has drawn the picture of a soul. A single soul? Why as many souls as there are men women and beasts for characters in his novel. Innumnable are the things that have been written about man's companion the dog. But is there any where in literature the having bare of a dog soul such as Djouma's, the sorry little yellow cur? And isn't it the universal soul of ad the sorry little yellow cur in the world, whether in the Concord or in the streets of Harlem? Bum Maran even penetrates into the soul of the ducks that live under Bataoula's roof. There is only one thing I miss in the book Children. We are told that Bataoula has children but we do not see the great moke unddit, the great Mbt chieftain in his relation to children. We see him in all other relations—to the whites his head-men his fellow-chieftains his beasts, his wives and his friend Bigsibingal. Not to his children. And what sort of a soul is this of the great chieftain Bataoula? Is it a soul worth knowing a soul to be admired or a soul to be despised? Before answering this question as I feel it should be answered, let me once more turn to what some of the reviewers say. They speak of the savage as he is' and declare that "man under the equator is shown as ninth part animal with a tenth part composed of weak gropings into the mysteries of nature" and the like. If that is the way René Maran felt about his Congo tribes I doubt if he would ever have written "Batouala". He would not have been stimulated to such a work of art. The very harm that civilization has done is to give us false hypocritical values. Tested by the eternal values the values of simple justice, honor, courage, will Batouala the chiefman stand or fall. Because René Maran writes with the calm, close restraint of the perfect artist who never sentimentalizes or holds out an index finger, people have failed to see that for the main figure of his book he has picked out that rarest of creatures in modern civilized life, a man, Bataoula, the chioftian is a man, a sturdy, upright character. Apply the simple tests of justice, honor courage and he comes through magnificently in ankle size. He was a champion of his people and their customs. Nothing could make him swerve in this respect. By contrast, Bissibingul, the handsome young wife-thief, was willing to betray his people and go over to the whites and help them in their cruel exploitation of the blacks. As for Batouala no amount of oppression could make him yield to the whites in an essential. In non-essential, where the welfare of his people was concerned, he would yield (see page 85), but in nothing else. He could not be bent. That René Maran means to show this trait clearly in Batouala comes out in the end when he says of him "He fell to the ground unbending, as falls a tail, might tree." Batouala had a sense of simple justice. Oh, he could forgive the whites everything if only they weren't such hypocrites and if only they would apply the same logic to themselves as to the blacks. He was man enough to know that all people have minor failings which must be overlooked. The major wrongs must not be tolerated. Batouala was truthful. He had a fine, subtle sense of what truth really means. To 'embellish naked facts is not to lie. No, that is poetry, that is art. Batouala felt this in his simple, undefiled soul. But the whites lied. They really lied. They lied by method, by rota. This he resented. Some reviewers and many colored people have expressed disappointment that Maran did not carry out the promise of his preface. They had expected that his book would be an expose. Again they miss his subtle indications. They lose sight of several statements in the preface that are clear pointers. First, Maran says that his work is purely objective.

In a discussion the object in view is to enlighten and to be enlightened relative to the subject under consideration Unless you can support your opinion by logic and facts, it is no better than Tom's. Dick's or Harry's. Back home where they knew you best and loved you most, you may have been a genius. But in the crowd that surges to and fro you are just one among many and to win recognition you must not only know but do your stuff. The irrelevant is little essential to the demands of the hour. Guessing and conjecturing in their majority are not as valuable as facts in their minority. Both of you may be right, though having looked at the subject from different angles, but no matter when where or how, if it is the truth that you seek and you refuse to accept an authoritative solution little if anything can be done to help you until you manifest a changed attitude of mind. CUPID By THOMAS MILLARD HENRY When Cupid had us in his arms— Yes, when he had us in his power— Each felt the other's worth and charms Like two fond skylocks in a tower I knew, methought, your sterling worth And you were sweeter far to me Than any other soul on earth— And who were happier than we? How tenderly you called my name— You liked my middle name, you know When you said Millard" up would name Love a torch, and how my eyes would glow Some won our blame and some our praise With kindly deeds, or ugly sin By turns we alred our views on art, Religion, science poetry, Or reckoned with the human heart, And analyzed society Then, rising from such themes we soon Left Plato or left Emerson To sip a cup of Cupid's boon While I your lips imposed upon We had at times our troubles, too— What troubles lovers have to face? They never choked my love for you. Love seemed to settle every case Yes, your seductive, sterling worth, It made you sweeter seem to me Than any other soul on earth— Great God' what tools we mortals be LAFAY 7th AVENUE AT 132nd STREET THEA NOW PLAYING not bestial. To the whites it was a chance to be vulgar and extort a huge money fine. That grim, sardonic wind-up to the dance is one of the most magnificent, ironic contrasts in literature. There is much more to say to show that the book is not about "savages" but about men, strong, fine, courageous, lovable, humorous, light-hearted, laughing men. In the native hunt any more savage than the annual grouse-shooting in that country of sharp intellects Scotland? Batatoula and his men risked their lives when they hunted. They hunted like men, not like cowards with office. Moreover they hunted because they really needed their food. The people in civilized lands who really need the food are not the ones who go grouse-shooting in Scotland. The song of the koulougoulou is a delicious example of something else in the preface. "Their light mocker proved their resignation. They suffered, and laughed at suffering." The whites brought disease to me blacks the blacks know it, they suffer from it—and they laugh and make songs. Does an ugly savage make songs? Does a brute invent those charming myths about sunstroke, the rhinoceros and how fire was brought down from heaven for the comfort of shivering mortals? "Batouala" is a book about men but beats that are half-men, not uncivilized brutes, but men. "It is time, says an eminent ethnologist, "that the gulf between savage or even primitive and civilized be bridged by the understanding that all men upon this earth are first of all, human beings." It is so light that "Batouala" must be viewed. A word about the translation. It is all things considered, excellent. Each nationality has its own literary style and distinctive mode of expression. Hence it as difficult, if not impossible to translate French literary style into English literary style as it would be for an individual to imitate another minute and in detail. Nor would such translation be necessary. Sufficient is to give the substance and the spirit of the work. In the case of "Batouala this, and more, has been adequately and competently done. The African question is increasing in importance. Because of the vast un-tapped wealth of that continent it will undoubtedly hold the center of the stage in the not far distant future. Batouala." as Maran himself points our happens to be timely, it having been made so by the Americans. I feel that no one interested in Africa, or in relations between white and black, where, can afford to miss it. BISHOP I. E. GUINN E. H. I. C.

Little Misses Hazal Johnson and Charlotte McPheron were appointed to solicit funds to buy lemons, sugar, ice and cookies, so every colored child in and around Mesa could have free access to all they wished of lemonade and cake. The committee made their report on Saturday evening to the president of our local Mr H P Scott, and they had a list of every one that contributed and the amount which totaled something over $4 Program Little Hazel Johnson acted as mistress of ceremonies, which began at 4 p.m. in Mt Cavity Baptist Church.

The ship has big pipes upon the deck, and it looks like a real "man o' war" boat. We are going to have a photo of it taken and sent to the Negro World for publication. This present was also the work of Capt A. Gilla. I cannot begin to describe to the readers the enthusiasm shown at this meeting. Mr J. B. Porter, it seemed to me, was overwhelmed with enthusiasm when he got up to lecture to the children and in explaining to them the unfairness the white race has shown us in not printing the truths about the valiant deeds of black men and women, and whenever printed or written it is always so obscure that unless a person could read between lines they'd never know it. But I am not thinking the black boys and girls of Mea can ever say that they never know who the great men and women of our race are and what they have accomplished. Up until just a few years ago a Negro boy or girl didn't know anything about Toussaint L'Ouverture, Hannibal, Socrates, P W Wheatley, A Dumas and others until they got into high school, and then the histories that make mention of them in most instances try to make the meaning so obscure that a boy or girl if they have no books of reference will never know those character were black men or women But thank God our boys and girls here in Meaça are well informed by Mr J B Porter Mrs. T R Richardson one of the greatest educators and leaders of our race in Arizona, cannot be surpassed when it comes to oratory talent even by our "silver-tongued orator" Mr J B. Porter Rev E. Greene, pastor of M Calvary Baptist Church, made a very nice speech. Mrs. Ella Turner made a speech and among the many good things she said was, 'I am a Garveyite from start to finish.' Our president, Mr Scott then made a few glowing remarks. Capt A Gillis of the U A Legionna made a good speech, and among the many good things he said was, 'I am the one to help Mr Garvey carry out the rough side of his program if necessary, and if Africa cannot be redeemed without the shedding of blood I am willing and ready any minute to shed the last drop of blood in my body for the redemption of Africa, and I am training these boys under me the same way. He said he had given seven years of good service, even overseas 18 months, for the United States to keep Old Glory from trailing in the dust, but what and how has it benefited our race?' So he said that he was going to put in the rest of his life trying to help plant the R. B and G on the highest hilltop in Africa. (Applause) Our president arose and pointed to the toy man 'o war' sitting on the table in front of him and said Yes. Mr Garvey and those great Negro men and women that met in convention are going to devise ways and means whereby not only this battleship will sail the Seven Seas, but many more passenger ships, and I dare say before six months our own Black Star Steamship Corporation will be carrying black men from here to Africa, and I wouldn't be afraid to bet you that some of them will be run by some of our own "American Negroes." Many other good things were said, after which little Hazel Johnson passed the hat and took up a collection, after which the children were all treated to all the cake and lemonade they wanted and the day passed out leaving every one full of joy and gladness. You're truly. MRS. B. M. TAYLOR, Secretary, Meas Division 411, N I A. I. THE, NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1922 UNVEILING OF CHARTER NO. 329, AT MANZA-NILLO, COSTA·RICA The Manzanillo Division No. 229 of the U. N L A. and A C L. unveiled its charter on August 18 amid great rejoicing by its members. Our Liberty Hall was tastefully decorated. At 7 p.m. the president and other distinguished officers entered the spacious hall to the strains of the processional hymn, "Onward, Christian Bolden," with Mr. Horatio K. Williams, a second vice-president, and Mr. Philip Shepherd aging as charter bearers. There were seated on the rostrum Dr. G. W. Forrester, first vice-president of the Guanito Division; Mr. David Shergold, Mr T Daley, Mr. David Arthur, Mrs. Ethel Lewis, Mrs. Adel Cook and Miss Joseph Headley, members of the Old Harbour Division, Mrs. Aquila Hudson, lady secretary, Mrs. Janette Hawkins, lady president, Mr. Asmond Archbold, first vice-president, Mr. William McKenzie, chapain, and Mr Wilfred Duffs, general secretary. "From Greenland's Icy Mountain," the opening ode, was then sung Temple and Scripture reading by Dr G W. Forrester. The president, Mr W A Evans, said Ladies and Gentlemen The object of our gathering here tonight needs no elaborate introduction on my part, as it is already known by all present that we meet here, both members and friends, to witness the unveiling of the charter received from the High Executive Council (parent body), with headquarters in New York city, hoping that the presence of a charter in our midst will help to redouble our efforts in putting over the great program and assist, by our help in brains and dollars, in hastening the redemption of Mother Africa. At this juncture the president asked Dr G W Forrester to take the chair in forceful language Dr. Forrester expressed his unbound pleasure in being present at Manzanillo for the first time, and although his coming was fraught with many difficulties, due to the late rains, he took courage, knowing the cause for which he was coming, and did not lose heart. He said: Garveyism is going today stronger than ever, and I hope that the time is not far distant when we shall see a free and redeemed Africa. An anthem, "We Offer Praises!" was rendered by the Cahulla choir and it received merited applause. A recitation, "Ethiopia," by Miss Modesta Robinson of Punta Mono was interesting; recitation, "What Is Man?" by Master Percival Hudson, recitation, "My Prayer," by Miss Regoria Hudson, recitation, "Be Patient," by Miss Isolene Hudson received great applause. Anthem, "Mine Eyes Have Seen the Glory of the Lord," by the choir was applauded Miss Ida Celly a veritable songbird of the Cahulla branch, rendered a selection entitled Marcus Garvey," a composition of her own Miss Celly, being mistress of a sweet soprano voice, sang with inspiration and charm, bringing forth thunderous applause and calls for repetition, which she cheerfully obeyed. Dialogue, How to Tell Bad News, by Mr Daniel S. Beyton and Mrs. Mary J Gordon second lady president of the division, was delivered in fine style. Mr Payton has the gift of an up-to-date comedian, and with much practice will master the art. A recitation by Master Briljdo Brown was the hilf of the evening, he representing himself as a medical genius who was not short in explaining the curative powers of his compound. Surface it to say that his preparation had cured a man that had ventured too near a powder magazine and was blown to atoms. One bottle of his Elliptical Asiatical Panticural Nervous Cordial was enough to reuphine his body and give life. Briljdo deserves to be watched, as apparently there are latent talents in this youth as an exlocutionist that are above the ordinary. At this juncture the chairman said we had now reached the most important part of our program—that of unveiling Charter No. 229—and he sincerely hoped that this charter will be a beacon to guide the future course of this division. Mrs. Aquila Hudson, lady secretary, and Miss Janette Thompson then advanced to the front of the rostrum and gracefully unveiled the charter. In a neat little speech Miss Janette Thompson said: "Worthy Officer and Members. Ladies and Gentlemen: It gives us much pleasure in unveiling this charter of the Mansanillo Division No. 229, and it is our fondest hope that this charter will never be auspended or recalled, and may the members of this division always and at all times exemplify the principle of One God, One Aim, One Destiny." The Ethiopian Anthem was then sung, after which the general secretary, Mr. W. Duffs, read the charter in a loud voice. An address by Mr Daniel S. Payton on the "Signal Success of Garveyism" was to the mark. Mr. David Shergold, former chairman of the Advisory Board of the Old Harbour Division No. 99, a 100 per cent advocate of Garveyism, was the next speaker, his subject being based on the unity of purpose of this world-wide movement and the hope that the members of this division will by neither words nor deeds cause your charter to be disgraced. An address by Mr. R. Daley, on the aims and objects of Garveyism was to the point) and it made his heart glad to see and hear the things that are now going on in this division, and he asked the members to hold fast to the greatest, of all Negro movements. A collection was then taken up. The chiefman then asked the president to make the closing remark. The president rose and thanked the audience for their presence and assistance in making the proceedings a success, es- pecially the members of the Cahuita choir, whose contribution will never be f. rotten. Three new members were added to the roll. The national anthem was then sung, with prayer by the chairman bringing the meeting to a close. BOCAS DEL TORO. DIV. 44 August 20. 1922. Promotress Mrs. Sarah E. Gordon, who was given charge of the children of the above-named division by High Commissioner Rt. Hon. Rev. Edgar C. West, Ph. D., who is a real Gavarie牙 and working member of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League, pulled off a flower service August 20, at 3 p.m. at our Liberty Hall, entitled, "Going to Convention." The hall was well decorated, with palms and flowers inside, and arches, well prepared outside by Brother A. Hamilton. This service was well attended, a silver collection was taken up. All the girls who took part were very neatly attired with their white dresses and green pineflores, and carried hand-made baskets of many colors, with white flowers, the baskets were made by Promotress Gordon. The boys were also well attired in their white suits and green ties, representing one of our colors. Special notice was taken of the sixth item on the program, "Pulling of Oara for African Shore." Another interest of Oara for African Shore was joined by Miss Lynch, daughter of President Joes Before the Cross for the Redemption of Our Forldarion, Africa." Oh, it was most delightful for all to witness the proceeding of the convention. On the vocal side special attention was given by the audience to Mrs Atkinson, president and wife of Mr George Atkinson, secretary to the High Commissioner, for the symphonious and melodious way in which she made her expressions in the singing of a selection, to which special reference was made by the chairman. The Rev. R. N. Whittaker, chaplain of No. 14 chapter, Panama, who is now in Boca del Toro, is giving all of his assistance in helping to foster the work, acted as master of ceremonies. Leading officers present were President Jos. Lynch, Goe. Atkinson, first vice-president, Brother Bernard, treasurer; A. Laldy, general secretary; Brother Llyow, assistant secretary; Mrs. Atkinson, lady president, Brothers Hamilton and Gordon, Advisory Board. T. H. Saunders, ex officer, and others. The program follows: Closing remarks by Rev R N Whittaker, who congratulated Promotress Gordon for her ambition amidst the storms and fiery darts at the U N I A. in Bocas, who then called on the audience to give a vote of thanks to the Honorable Marcus Garvey, our leader and modern Moses, a vote of thanks for the high executive officers in Liberty Hall one for President Lynch, down to the members. The affair closed with the national anthem. THE U. N. I. A. IN BUFFALO. N. Y. On Sunday, August 27, a meeting of Buffalo Division No. 94 was held at Miller Hall. The meeting was called to order by our newly-elected first vice-president, Mr. A. W. Thomas. The opening hymn and prayer, led by choir and chaplain, respectively, opened a program which was a rare tpat. Mr. Thomas gave a few inspiring remarks on the works and achievements of the U. N. I. A. He then introduced Rev. Adams, a young live wire in Buffalo, who spoke on the subject: "Wanted—Men and Women." He gave a short, spicy speech, further inspiring us to live up to the standards of real men and women, both in public and private life. The choir rendered very appropriate songs, which was followed by a short talk by Mr. Pinckney, veteran U. N. I. A. speaker, of Buffalo, who preceded the speaker of the evening, A. C. Carlton, attorney-at-law. His subject was: "What Is the Negro-Worth Socially, Industrially, and Politically?" He took us far away in a flow of oratory solidum heard in our midst, and brought home hard facts to us in such a logical way that all had to agree that new enthusiasm thrilled us to pull the U. N. I. A. program over. Our president, Dr. Kakaya, was called away on a case and missed the finest meeting of this month. Yours fraternally, Give us a call or send for our price lists.

DIVISION NO. 326, ANTILLA, CUBA The Antilla Division has been passing through some trials that all new divisions must pass. It is quite some time since Antilla has sent any report to the Negro World for publication, simply because the members here were working on some personality through some misunderstanding of two officers of the division. The official staff dwindled to four, which is now called the "faithful four", namely, Mr. Jacob Richards, president, John L. Rose, general-secretary; T. A. Dean, assistant secretary, and Wm. H. Milla, treasurer. The division went on slowly trying to hold its own against great odds, when just like a flash we responded through the Hon. Eduardo V. Morales, High Commissioner for Cuba, our registry of the division by the government of Cuba, granting us all protection. That was on or about the 20th of July From said date the division kept increasing slowly for about three weeks, when the official staff was favored with a lady president in the person of Mrs. Mary Raynor, and at the same time our general-secretary, Mr. John L. Rose, resigned his office, as he returned to his native home in Jamaica. He said in part in his letter "Whether true or not, this should only instil us in a deeper faith in the work we have begun and believe that perseverance gains the mead "Though absent in person my thoughts shall rest on struggling Antilla 'The whole needs no physician—only those that are sick.' "A live factor in the life of any association is the firm and unfailing assistance given to those who rule. Where this is void I fail to see how it could be called an association. "Friends, take retrospective view of your lives, compare it with the present, then judge what the future will be. The nations are in deep ague for fear of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Who are they that can withstand the united efforts of 400,000,000? This is not a figure to play with and those who would are in jeopardy with those hot coals of ebony Again I appeal to you to be firm." Program The program is as follows: 1. Opening ode 2. Address by the president, Mr Jacob Richards. 3. Address by the chairman, Mr W H Mills. 4. Song, "Work for Garvey" by Miss Whille Gordon. 5. Duct by Misses Ethel Enniss and C. Lemonious. 6.

Anthem of Ethiopia by the acting chairman, and in his closing remarks he spoke of Miss Agnes Raynor's medley form song, saying that if there were any prize to be given she would have won easily and spoke of the capability she has shown at the age of twelve. T. A. DEAN, General Secretary. NORFOLK DIV. No. 20 HAS LARGE FUNERAL Norfolk, Va., Sept. 5, 1922. On Sunday afternoon, Aug. 10, 1922, the officers and members of No. 20 turned out to the funeral of Mrs. Harriett Beard, which was held at St. Andrew's M. E. Z. Church. The Black Cross Nurses gave a beautiful design with letters U. N. I. A. engraved in gold on ribbon. The Red, Black and Green flag was laid across the casket, which was covered with beautiful cut flowers, also given by the nurses. The funeral was largely attended by the members of the U. N. I. A. and the church was crowded to overflowing with non-Garveyites, who were deeply impressed by the ceremony. At the door the nurses formed a column through which the palebearers bore the corpse. The uniformed legions serving as palebearers were as follows: Captain Thomas Halland, Lleut. George Johnson, Corporal Charles B. Elloy and Private B. Small. After the Rev Mrs. Corn Jones. had conducted the funeral services for the church the ceremonies were turned over to the U. N. I. A. Condolences from the division were read by Minnie E. Cowan and a solo, 'Angels' Get My Mansion Ready.' was rendered by Mrs. Goodwyne. Hon. President H. B. Franklin then led the ceremony in ritual form. The Nurses then circled around the casket, singing "Rock of Ages." We secured the attendance of Mr. John D. Lowry, undertaker and embalmer, a member of the U. N. I. A. who gave excellent service. On August 29 we lost another member by a Very and accident. Mr. John Latimore was run down by the Norfolk & Western train and his body cut in two. His condition was such that his funeral had to be held at the undertaker's parlor. Hon. President H. B. Franklin made all arrangements for the burial, thereby taking a great responsibility from Mrs. Latimore, the bereaved widow. No. 20 feels very sad at the loss of these two members, but we do feel glad that we were able to fulfill our obligations, and we feel that under the leadership of our new president, Mr. Franklin, we shall soon be the leading division of Virginia. MINNIE-E. COWANS, Recording Secretary. THE U. N. L. A. IN GUANTANAMO, CUBA August 19, 1922. A meeting of the Universal Negro Improvement Association was held on Sunday, Aug. 12, 1922, being called to order at 6 p. m. Dr. Hubert fully presided. "From Greenland's Lay Mountains," the association's ode, was sung, after which Dr. Sally read the official prayers from the ritual, followed by the reading of chapter ziv of the book of Isaiah by James McKen, chapista, which he also took as his text. A hymn, "God of the Right Our Battles Fight," was sung before Dr. Sally delivered the opening address. His subject was "Leadership and Organization." He called attention to the seriousness of the time in which we live, and indored most heartily the bold stand taken by the Hon. Marcus Garvey in his appeal to the 400,000,000 Negroes of the world for support. Dr. Sully then called the attention of his hearers to the Third International Convention of the Negroes of the World in New York city, where delegates from all parts of the world met to discuss matters of importance to the Negro race. At the finish of Dr. Sully's address throngs came forward for the purpose of organizing a branch, which was done in conformity with the Constitution. Mrs. Mary Mead, B. N. C., of Guantanamo No. 164 sang "On Africa Sunny Bank I s. and," followed by Mr. Timothy Dale in an address entitled "We Must Know Ourselfs." Mrs. Rodd Palmer "The Sinner and the Song-Dr. Sully then addressed the meeting in Spanish and French. Adjournment was taken at 11 o'clock, the benediction being pronounced by the chaplain, followed by the singing of the Ethiopian national anthem. NATHAN A. LEWIS Central Isabel, Guantanamo, Cuba.

UNIVERSAL AFRICAN BLACK CROSS NURSES' CHILD WELFARE DEPT UNIVERSAL AFRICAN BLACK CROSS NURSES' CHILD WELFARE DEPT By CLARA MORGAN, R. N. [Questions of general interest on the care and feeding of infants and children will be answered in this column. Address Child Welfare Dept. Negro World, 58 West 135th Street, New York, N. Y.] Mother's milk is the only safe food for a baby during the first nine months of its life. Prepared food, no matter how highly recommended and advertised, can never equal mother's milk, neither can cow's milk. Bronsted babies are better developed, have greater powers of resistance and can therefore ward off disease more effectively. It is said that of every ten babies who die of bowel trouble nine are those who have been bottle-fed. Ever bear in mind that the expectant mother needs special care before the baby is born. REPLY TO THE "GLEANER" OF JAMAICA, B. W. L REPLY TO THE "GLEANER" OF JAMAICA, B. W. L In the editorial of the cleaner, the chief paper of Jamaton B W L, and dated August 5, we find a column and a half devoted to Hon Marcus Garvey. This article, the headline of which ran, 'Marcus Garvey's Move' helps to confirm the fact that all eyes are focused on Garvey and the 'N I A. Every turn he makes is recorded. While this editor apparently lauded the President-general for his boldness and during its visit the head of the Ku Klux Klan a thing which no other Negro leader dared to do he expresses doubt as to the real nature of the interview. In a tone of frost he goes on to criticise Garvey's vision of a Negro Empire and his 'demand for South African ritorian.' Now this may be surprising, to some who do not know much of the West Indies, and particularly of Jamaica. They would probably expect the chief paper from Carvay, native, to be expressive of the maries true worth and, without prejudice, knowledge the tremendous work he is doing and attempting to do for his race. But of course this is impossible if he is to remain a true Britsher. Surely he does not want his paper to go out of commission and so he must say what will please those who are considered of the "clauses". Mr. is this learned citizen alone in his conclusions. There are many Negroes o, the classes in Jamaica who do not know they are Negroes and being wealthy, feel secure. Not having to leave their island home, their views are narrow and they do not realize how insecure they are as a race. They do not know that on leaving sunny Lately, are considered ordinary Negroes. Returning to the editor, I do not think he is in the right position to criticize Garvey) as he is doing, for he seems not to be well informed on the workings of the U.N.A. I say this because of one clause in the *Greater* editorial which says "He has accomplished NOTHING, for those of whom he lain to be the leader." Some time ago the Negro World published the information that the ban was lifted from the Negro World in Jamaica. Highly the editor printed this piece of information a year ago, he could have been excused. But no one taking up the Negro World and seeing the list of industries advertised and the invitation to Negroes to patronize them can agree that the editor of the "Greater" means to be fair. The U N I A is not five years old yet, and it now has three grocery stores, two restaurants into a steam laundry a tailoring and the smoking department a printing and publishing plant, a hotel and several buildings in Harlem to so nothing of the many Liberty Houses that have been actually paid for all over the social parts of the world. Again, the Negro World is one of the N. I. A. it is most evident colored paper, and its circulation is all over the world. Besides all mentioned, the N. I. A., which came into being through Marus Garvey, has increased its members from thirteen to four and a half millions in four and a half years. This greatest of Negro organizations has its third International Convention now sitting in New York. Newpaper men from the white press attend the sessions, and its business is such as to make nations and governments feel uneasy. Why should acting for a slice of price be so extraordinary, audacious and enough to take away one's breath? It would appear that it doesn't take much to deprive some people of their existence. As far as I have noticed, I have not seen that Garvey intended to go to Europe to demand of the League of Nations a slice of South Africa. I know that plans have been made and a delegation is ready to go to Geneva to attend the League of Nations conference for the purpose of laying the claims of petitioners representing 400,000,000 Negroes before the league for certain concessions in Africa in the distribution of the spoils of the war of 1914-18. It is funny that Garvey is asking for what it is not the league's to give, when the world knows that Africa is being parceled out among the white nations by the league. Each nation that helped to win the war is considered. When the guns boomed so near to Paris that the government had to be removed, the Negroes were brought up from the rear, and they saved the situation. Yet now the editor of the "Cleaner" feels satisfied that they won't get a square inch of their mother'and Abundant reward for services rendered! Garvey is not working for mere support. He has the interest of 400,-000,000 Negroes at heart. Being 100 per cent. Negro, he can sympathise with his fellow men, and his strength of character surrounds him like a halo, sincerity and pureness of soul radiate from him like a searchlight. He stands on the platform where no compromise will be accepted where his race is concerned. His oratory is accompanied by the ability and passionate desire to do, and do big things. In lauding the failure of the Black Star Line, the editor remarks that "Garvey's followers prefer the vision of a Negro empire to dividends of the Black Star Line." We, the followers, then are in a better position than those who bought shares or financed the Caribbean B. B. Co. in that there is something to hope for. Irretrievable downfall is predicted as the reward of one as ambitious and bold as Garvey, but the editor may yet be ashamed, his prophecy will not be fulfilled. Enemies of Negro progress may succeed in imprisoning or assassinating Marcus Gayey, but that will make Negroes more determined all over the world. S. E. BLAKE. 9 Commonwealth Apt., Boston, Mass. CORRESPONDENCE RE- GARDING MARCUS GARVEY To the Editor of the World Bir - Under the heading "Policemen Eject Garvey Objectors" you give a report of a meeting held on Sunday afternoon at Shuffle Inn, 131st street near Seventh avenue, in Monday's issue. The inherent natural right of any one to take exception to the views or doctrines of another is conceded by the most eminent authorities of logic and law. The strange part of every meeting that is held for the purpose of inquiry into and analyzing the big issues of the day in so far as they concern Negroes everywhere resolves itself into a gathering of abuse, malice, spite and jealousy against Hon. Marcus Garvey as an individual Why? Anyone who will take the opportunity to attend one of these meetings will find that the aims and objects of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League are severely left alone. Why? These institutions represent the man and his work, and in them and through their several activities the means are found to apply the remedy to the thousand and one fils from which the Negroes of the world suffer. Hon Marcus Garvey should get a hearing on all issues and exception taken against the speaker when the historical, political, social, economic, educational, industrial and constructive outlook according to the facts in the case do not fully represent the conditions as they are. Among the various opponents are there none so brave to forget the personality of the man and take issue with his basic principles and the validity of his statements and measures in so far as they relate to Negroes everywhere. Not until the traduces of the Hon. Marcus Garvey and those opposed to the doctrines of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League can prove beyond a shadow of doubt that the world condition of Negroes everywhere can be changed for the better by any means whatsoever, that the historical, political, social, economic, educational, industrial and constructive outlook are Utopian asvoiced through these societies then can offer a better solution, will any consideration that counts be given their utterances. Each hour, each day, each month and the succeeding years proves Marcus Garvey true in his world effort toward the improvement of Negroes in all lines. The ultimate success of the Negro peoples of the world is in organization and standing organized, recognizing the various handicaps and working with unceasing effort and zeal toward a not distant future. This organized sentiment will effectually demonstrate its capacity for self-government and its inalienable rights to its historic home and sovereign rights of person notwithstanding the dispersion through slavery, furthermore, its latent ability to re-establish its ancient expender and arrested progress. The success of the "Garvey Movement" is assured and gains followers as each Negro becomes capable of logical reasoning and correct conclusions. The mental bondage and breakdown of artificial barriers which were set up against his awakening loses its terror, and he understands how to do and to dare. The puny effort of mortals to stem the tide of Negro racial consciousness and true progress is futile. We cannot be fooled not by Garvey himself. Why? He has succeeded in making the masses think. There you are, Mr. Editor. As an evidence of good faith I am prepared to debate the issue as outlined with any gentleman that is prepared to champion the negative of the basic principles of the U. N. L. A. and A. C. L. and the means taken to reach the desired end. Thanking you for space. 180 Madison Ave. N. Y. City. [P. B.

THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1922 THE GARVEY AWAKENING To the Editor of The Negro World: Sir: Here, in an English city, I have read the stirring manifesto of Marcus Garvey, president of the Pan-African Society for the Regeneration of the Negro Race. This manifesto is couched in an admirable spirit of temperate language, forcible illustration, and clinching argument always, provided the promise is sound. Personally I am with Mr. Garvey in every point—believing in the possibility of betterment in every human being—always with one proviso. "A CALL TO NEGRO MANHWA By R. T. BROWN This century, the 20th, has witnessed many striking and remarkable developments, principal among which has been the awakening of sleeping and bitherto backward peoples and races. Small peoples like the Greeks, the Bulgare, Serbe, Roumanians, have asserted their God-given right to be free, and latterly the Irish and the Hungarians have joined the wrongs which man on any of its peoples tee the rights of the wherea. These are the we are striving. The race today is o ward at a very rap sons and daughters demonstrating to the every line of human a people that will have with in the days to co- The gravest mistake of the framer or framers of the Monroe Doctrine arises through their shortsightedness — for they must have known the only means of populating America would be by the introduction of people at a quicker rate than the normal increase by births over deaths, and further that even if an adult emigration from Europe alone arrived to fill the country they would not necessarily all wish to cut completely adrift from old connections. As for the American sponsors of Monroeism in regard to the African portion of their population it is quite certain that these man never had any intention that freedom should be their portion or otherwise an open door (wider than Liberia) would have been insisted upon as well as a voice and vote equally with Britain, France and, lastly, Germany; for America has had first and ast a solid Negro population greater than any other country—a population to whom they surely owe the opportunity to return free of expense and with land grants and every advantage to their originally native land. The white American is in a very peculiar position. The African personally he does not want, except for certain forms of menial labor, particularly cotton and sugar growing, some mining and factory work, female domestic service, etc., but when that is done there should be a quiet elimination; in fact, if there could be a machine made to do certain work it would be the greatest boon any inventor could produce. True, the African can now be taught reading, writing, and other arts, even to rise to a college course on merit, but, seemingly, he has aspirations and psychological longings, well, he should take them to Africa, but as yet he would not find congenial surround.ngs in purely Negro society. The white American himself, descended from a mixed stream of nation on earth which does not show a kink in the hair or in color of skin, objects to perform certain labors while there are blacks to do them. With all this one would think American statesmen of one hundred years ago would have segregated the Negro if and when he should be emancipated, and recognizing that fact that possibly enlightened—he might prove an awkward customer; arranged an outlet to Africa where the original Negroes came from—thus as the dignity of America and demonizing to an incredulous and satiric world, the world power of America, but lynching, the Ku Klux Klan and other forms of Southern humor were earl. The proviso I referred to earlier is the desire to have proof of the possibility of Negroes' ability in the mass to assimilate Western civilization in its best aspects—to become genuine scientists, engineers (active and theoretical), fully qualified medical men, architects and builders, surveyors and all the varied avocations required in up-to-date so-called civilized life. Even with what handicaps the Negro race has had to contend with in America and living side by side with the hustailing man called American for short—what has it accomplished, achieved in the way of advancement in the last half century—the term of the writer's life? Something. I know, but little until Marcus Garvey came to awaken the race. As a matter of fact, we Negroes have to live down Haiti and San Domingo, two places which are a melancholy reflection on Negro ability to govern themselves, not to speak of others. In there at the present time the nucleus of society to land on some spot in Africa—not Liberia—and make a start with Western civilization comfortable houses, water supply artificial light police protection, adequate food supplies, all under sound municipal government (not imported)? What does this Improvement Society do? Suppose a form of government IMPORTANT NOTICE All Divisions and Divisional Officers are hereby warned against paying moneys to Executive Officers, Officials or Representatives from the Parent Body on the Field.

MARCUS GARVEY, President-General This century, the 20th, has witnessed many striking and remarkable developments, principal among which has been the awakening of sleeping and hitherto backward peoples and races. Small people like the Greeks, the Bulgars, Serbs, Roumanians, have asserted their God-given right to be free, and latterly the Irish and the Hungarians have joined the groat of those who have secured the full measure of freedom for which they have striven with might and main. Japan during the last fifty years has made such remarkable strides that today all the great nations of the world are, by the force of circumstance bound to accord to her the due amount of respect for which she has clamored for years. Egypt has very recently come into her own in the way of independent government. India is seething with unrest, her people are tired and disgusted with British Lycorpia, selfishness and superior aloofness. Her sons have taken up on the road for the freedom of their country and its people till victory crowns their efforts. Last, but by no means least among those who have sought, who are demanding, who have secured and who have yet to secure that full free measure of liberty which the Creator appointed for all mankind, comes the race of Negroes, mighty in point of numbers and in potential power, joining their voices in protest with the others who are crying out against oppression and slavery in every form. This race has endured the jeers and insults and other indignities heaped upon its sons and daughters by people of the other races for centuries, and, tired of petitioning and pleading for justice and freedom, and the chance to live their lives in God's appointed way, is at last rousing from its age-long sleep, and is beginning to show to all creation that indeed there is real good in it, that indeed the Negro has a soul. Like all the rest of the human race who have hungered for a chance to carve out their own destiny, the Negro is seeking the things which make peace, life, liberty and happiness. The Negro of the twentieth century, awakened, enlightened and burning with a desire for freedom and a chance for the expansion of the powers of body, mind and soul, looks forward to time when he will be able to establish in his own homeland, Africa, a government that is strong, powerful, masterly and secure; a government that will be respected by all races and nations; in short, a government that will be fully capable to look after the interests of its citizens in any part of the world where they may happen to be, as well as to secure redress for and life not quite as advanced as the ideals of civilized life, one more adapted to colonial life and Negro views could be inaugurated? Is this practicable? Could a city be governed without graft and boodle, crooked voting and terrorism so dear to the truebred, Southern American of Irish extraction? Well there are those willing to try for it! I close this communication by referring to two writers—H G Wells and Rudyard Kipling—in their estimate of the American Negro. The one not unfairly in judgment, the other so obsessed by the wild hindoo, he has not a good word for the woolly-headed one as he calls the Negro, well perhaps, he is right, there are evidences in India of the highest aspirations crowned by glorious architectural work, philosophy and religion where we have nothing—everything to achieve, character to overcome. It is a heavy contract but never was a better time to commence. The pride and valoury of man and people has pulled down an edifice to the first floor and we come in on it. At any rate, like the Roman soldier, we return from battle under our shield unconquered. I am, air, yours etc. W A A Carlton Avenue, Manchester, England BY ORDER "A CALL TO NEGRO MANHOOD" By R. T. BROWN the wrongs which may be perpetrated on any of its people; and to guarantee the rights of the Nagro everywhere. These are the things for which we are striving. The divine urge with the race today is carrying us forward at a very rapid rate, and the sons and daughters of the race are demonstrating to the world that in every line of human endeavor we are a people that will have to be reckoned with in the dars to come. Negroes with vision, those of us whose souls respond to the Divine call the best that lies in the human race, can see the heights of excellence, of achievement, of attainment and greatness to which this race of ours can rise if we only shake of: the dull lethargy of the centuries gone by, and, in lay hold to the promise of the Great Divine Mind of the universe. With this vision to load us on, with the voice of inspiration ringing in our ears, and with a willingness to work, which this race has demonstrated in all the ages of earth's history, is there any wonder why the Negro race of the twentieth century is causing so many complex and troublesome problems to rise up in the minds of the great statesmen of the powerful nations of the world in the present day? We Negroes who feel the divine urge to freedom and attainment who are convinced of the justice of our cause and are nerved with unfaltering faith in the success of our efforts for freedom, feel and truly know that it is only a matter of time, only the stubborn and unyielding persistence of the Negro that is going to help him to win in this fight against oppression, wrong, hate, envy and the ill will of our erstwhile task masters and overlord Though foes may press us on every hand and crafty and envious men in our race as well as in the other races may seek to deter us and to hinder the growth and progress of our Negro organizations, we take inspiration from our bold and noble ancestors who laid the pillars of civilization in bygone ages and whose records shine from the pages of history, outliving the attacks of prejudice and racial antipathy evinced by others. Those sons of Ethiopia in the dim and distant past were giants of great endeavor, wore men who won the respect and admiration of the world because of their skill and prowess in many lines of human endeavor, and we of the present day, who also desire to achieve and to stamp our worth and works indelibly upon the pages of history, can do no less than to Patronize Your Own Industries! Fellow Members of the Negro Race: Why not support your own industries and help to find employment for your Race? Every penny or every dollar you spend with the Universal Negro Improvement Association helps to strengthen the financial standing of the Race. The more you patronize your own enterprises the more will we be able to employ more members of our Race. Already we employ about five thousand Negroes all over America and about four thousand abroad. In New York alone, we employ over two hundred. If you expect the race to grow financially; if you expect the race to become economically independent; if you expect the race to be respected generally; if you expect us to run more factories and operate more enterprises; if you expect us to employ more Negroes; then you must support the enterprises we have already started. The following enterprises are now operated by the Universal Negro Improvement Association through the African Communities' League and the Negro Factories' Corporation: UNIVERSAL STEAM LAUNDRY Wet and finished laundry work done by competent hands. Send or take all your clothes to this laundry and help the race to develop strength in the laundry industry. Call Harlem 8877 for orders.

Do it and let the race grow. Learn the rules of the Black and Green take inspiration from our great forebears of earth's future dure. Today, therefore, there comes a call to the manhood of the Negro race. Today, more than at any other time in the history of this race of cure, there comes a rousing and soul stirring demand that the Negro prove himself a man by his bearing, by his fortitude, by his unsurviving devotion to the cause of truth and right, the cause to which he has pledged his time, his labor, his money, his all—the cause of Negro uplift and African redemption. Today there is the urgent necessity for man and women of the Negro race to respond to the call of the divine will and bear themselves in such a way that the men of all the world will be compelled to recognize that there is a race of men that neither oppression, imprisonment, death, hell or the grave will be able to frighten off or dates from the efforts they are making for the uplift of their race or the redemption of their fatherland. Now, in this enlightened twentieth century day, we of the Negro race must, by our thoughts expressed, by our deeds, by our all round department, make all creation realize that there is a race of real starling, unfaltering and unfinishing manhood, a race that indeed is fit to survive. Now and ever we must live so as to leave our impress on the minds of the men of the other races that there indeed is real worth in the race of Negroes, hitherto so much misunderstood.

Let us therefore, lead the way, and let us lay all our hopes on God and His promise, since apparently shall build up the race from every conceivable point of view, so promising ourselves that we shall be able to stand amid the storms of opposition which shall surge around us; he able and ready to meet every fan, and stopping out against God’s heaven, not only to demonstrate to all mankind that we are worthy and that we as a race and people are fit to survive, but bring into realization all the things we had set out before us as ideals, all the visions which guided and around us and the hopes to which we cling in the stormy days of slavery and oppression. Forward then, my brother. Created in the image and like of our God, let us not fail to realize the purpose for which we were intended. There is no other race of men in the universe just like ours. We have our own part in this universe to control, and the circle of time shall not have been completed until the Negro race has won for itself an enviable and respected place among men and the redemption of Africa and the establishment there of a strong, stable, powerful and respect commanding government of Negroes, for Negroes, by Negroes shall have become an accomplished fact. Therefore, now, while it is called Today, let us behead this soul-stirring call to the manhood of our race. ```markdown ``` ECONOMIC STATUS OF THE NEGRO A Program Mapped Out for His Uplifting 8v F. P. BRYAN Among the many urgent problems of us Negroes one of the most urgent, and surely one of the most pathetic, is that of the masses of Negroes in the Northern cities. Many Negro leaders have made us familiar with the fact, strange as it may seem to many of our people in the North, that the economic opportunity of the Negro, and consequently our opportunity to develop as individual and as a race, is larger in the South than in the North. Home of our leaders argue that the main cause of the Negro's ill-condition in the cities is his own inefficiency. And there is much force in the argument. But that the Negro's inefficiency is not quite so fundamental a reason as the argument seems to imply. There are other causes which operate and which should be considered the fundamental causes, since they are in no small measure responsible for our inefficiency. But however that may be, the anti-democratic forces at work in American city life bear especially hard upon us as a race and therefore may justify a brief statement of our needs. First let us state what are the causes for the Negro's differentiation from other classes of workers in spite of the World War's change of local conditions: 1. Organised labor, which largely controls labor opportunity, is imbued with the conviction that the Negro is lacking in that kind of class-consciousness out of which labor organizations have developed and which has been the chief means of material betterment for the labor classes. 2. Negro laborers in the cities are few in number, and at that disorganised to make a clear impression upon labor organizations and compel its recognition and inclusion of them. 2. The Negro is the victim of what may be called the saturation of the skilled trades in the Northern cities. Trained American and European labor has more than filled the highest ranks of skilled employment, and white laborers are pressing down into the lower grades of occupation and so driving Negro labor out into the margin of industry, where there is only mental work and odds-and-sends puits. A fourth cause, to be fair, perhaps may in many cases be inefficiency, and a fifth cause is race hostility. From these causes flow four main results: First, rent discrimination; second, wage discrimination; third exclusion from labor unions (except in a few cases), and, fourth, segregation of all classes of Negroes—good, bad and indifferent—in crowded quartets, which tends to destroy many qualities which are the motive forces in the progress of a race or of a group. Just a few facts illustrating these results: Rent discrimination means that the Negro pays about 20 per cent. more rent for the same quarters than white people; that is to say, for rooms of exactly the same street or for rooms vacated by whites and subsequently rented to Negroes. The difference in New York, Philadelphia and Boston is about as follows: Whites, $8; Negroes, $12; whites, $8; Negroes, $15; whites, $10; Negroes, $18; whites, $15; Negroes, $20. Wage discrimination in New York and Philadelphia may be illustrated as follows: Coachmen, whites, $60 to $90 per month; Negroes, $40 to $70. Automobile drivers, whites, $80 to $120 per month; Negroes, $60 to $90. Hotel waiters, whites, $75 to $100 per month; Negroes, $68 to $80. Elevator men, whites, $35 to $35 per week; Negroes, $12 to $35. Porter, whites, $10 to $10 per week; Negroes, $16 to $20. Stationary engineers, whites, $20 per week; Negroes, $16. China packers, whites, $20 per week; Negroes, $18. The exclusion from labor unions is not now so serious as it has been, because of very earnest work by certain unions and committees to secure the admission of Negro laborers into unions. Negro local unions have been organized and special efforts have been made with unions to secure the admission of competent Negro artisans. But it is still probably true that not more than 5 per cent of the Negro laborers of New York reap steady benefit of work and wages from labor union connections. "Segregation is so obvious that one walking through the streets cannot fail to see it. It is easy to see from these more statements that it is difficult for Negro artisans and laborers to get and keep work, and that they are confined to fewer sorts of employment than are artisans of other peoples, which means that a large number of the aptitudes and talents of colored people find no opportunity for efficient use. Notwithstanding this actual demand in economic opportunity for the black man in the Northern cities from which we enjoy in the South, we are coming to the cities in steady, if not increasing, numbers. And my purpose is making this bare statement of economic conditions in the cities is to inform to any people who love business, commerce and professions to ensure that sympathy, ought to mean something specifically to every human of African race. It makes the most of opportunities for the things which they of social discrimination there and not individually economically efficient enough to develop within himself personal and racial self-respect, migrates, not knowing that he is quite likely to find a discrimination much more disintegrating to him than that from which he has been suffering. The Negro who has been trained and who has become efficient responses to social discrimination by founding a St Paul or a Tuskegee and, according to a delegate from New Orleans to the International' Congress of Negroes of August 1922, by founding 55 divisions of the U N L A and A C L in Louisiana. Southern land is still cheap, and good use of the land is and always will be the basis of the best life of any people. Therefore, the first thing for a Negro to do who is impressed by the situation in the Northern cities is to help support the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League and its various enterprises. It is our organization and our privilege, nay, our duty, to do so. Second, Negro orphanages should be established by the Negro churches or some Negro organization and careful industrial training in city trades should constitute a large part of the educational processes going on in such institutions. Third. The Negro should engrave in his soul, and it must be preached from and it must be preached to us from platform and pulpit, in the highways and byways. From the house-tops as well as in the fields, the unquestionable biologic and sociologic fact that the Negro is capable of something besides howing wood and drawing water, that he has definite ideals and spiritual power as well as a faith and hope which inspires him to work under tremendous difficulties and to press upward to those heights of knowledge and character which are topped for him as well as for any other race of mankind by the mysterious glow of the Divine. The Negro soul at its best has had its presage of the beatific vision as well as the soul of the Latin or Teuton. Fourth. Negroes should aim to secure for themselves absolute fairness and absolute freedom of opportunity in the pursuit of material, intellectual and spiritual activity. We should not ask pity, but we should double up energy to the task—that of overcoming the natural sensitivity due to the uncertainty and unjustness of our treatment, and of compelling, through our efficiency, recognition of our value. We must recognise that the highest civilization of any race rests upon an efficient fulfilling of the common and simple tasks which lie at the root of all human life; that to be responsible and reliable workers in the common world is no sacrifice of either dignity or character, but rather obedience to the largest dictates of both. We cannot help but note that part of the reason for migration to Northern cities are: General dissatisfaction with conditions, change of crop system, low wages, poor houses on plantations, poor school facilities, unsatisfactory crop settlements, rough treatment, lynching, desire for travel, labor agents, the European war, the Negro press, letters from friends in the North and finally scheming politicians. However, a part of the reason is also that innileable ideal of a democracy buried in our soul for civil freedom and justice, and that this migration, which seems so unwise from the practical point of view, is in a way the Negro's declaration that he will not measure life only by economic opportunity. Recreation Situation There are relatively few moving picture theatres in Negro neighborhoods. A number of these use questionable pictures, often interspersed with regular vaudeville. Poolrooms run for gain and without proper supervision are simply breeding places for gamblers. Here unwary colored youth with their natural craving for pleasure meet designing exploiters seeking victims. Dance halls in many cities of the North, frequently conducted under commercial auspices, are places where all types of character mingle. Often innocent youth plays without warning with tawdry vice and designing seducers. The Negro churches of Northern cities can do much to relieve the situation and build up this race of cura. The whole problem of race relationship has been greatly affected by the World War. During the few years of the great European struggle the status of the Negro was completely changed. The Negro has gained new standards of living and A New Vision. "TRUTH" AND THE ART OF DIPLOMACY "TRUTH" AND THE ART OF DIPLOMACY Editor of the Negro World. 56 West 183rd street, New York: Dear Sir:-Permit me a small space in the most valuable journal of the age. I am forced gradually to bring before the Negro peoples of the world, and directly to public speakers and representatives of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, a few essential points based on "Truth" and the art of "Diplomacy." These words represent two ideas relating to the same thing, but from opposite standpoints. It requires intelligence, experience, a good sense of reasoning and sound judgment to get the real substance from these two words. "Truth" and "Diplomacy" represent the surest and easiest policy that will bring about better international relationship between the governments and nations of the world. Diplomacy often turns away antimony, malignity, persecution, etc. It is obvious that one of the great setbacks of the Magra race is through lack of the art of diplomacy. We will succeed in business, we will succeed and achieve in every walk of life. If we copy the example of the other race by providing diplomacy and heed to treat. THE NEGRO WORLD. SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER 23. 1922 TOUSSAINT L'OUVERTURE A Brilliant Dissertation on the Noted Negro Leader Hir If H Johnston, in his 'Negro in the New World,' scribes thus 'In the faint traditions preserved about his father's descent the father was said to have been a native of the Zaire (Zaire-Congo), and the Posambo river, from a tribe known as the 'Arada' Gao-linu (his father) was believed (as is said in all occurrences) to have been the son of a king The river Posambo is not identifiable on the modern maps of Africa, but the 'Arada' tribe, or country, is obviously 'Alada,' in southern Dahome. There is practically nothing to confirm the story that Toussaint L'ouverture was of Congolese origin, i.e. from the vicinity of the Zaire, whereas the name of his father and other fragmentary indications make it probable that he came from Southern Dahome' That Toumaint I, Ouverture' father had every right to know whence he came, and would be a better authority than Sir Harry Johnston, can scarcely be doubted. Miss A. Werner has truly said 'Uniformity in spelling African words is, even now, not much more than a plious aspiration.' Every author thinks he or she has a right to give their own rendering of the words which they hear pronounced by the African On old Portuguese maps, dated 1500-1600, they represent the river Congo as having three names in the first 300 or 400 miles of its course From the mouth to the distance of 200 miles it is called "Congo," for another 150 miles "Zaire," and about another 90 miles "Vinba," or "Vumba," which flows on in a northern direction before it takes the south-easterly bend at "Bolombo"—the last name used on modern maps. Authorities in the languages of every known part of Africa have realized that P and B, O and A, R and L are interchangeable in local dialect. Thus we often find a confusion in the spelling, pronunciation and meaning of hundreds of names used by different African nations. There is absolutely no doubt that the "faint traditions" are right. In most African countries where European influence has not had very much effect, it has been noted that a large nation under a prince, with subordinate chiefs and sub-chiefs, is divided into sub-tribes, stocks or totemistic clans, each clan having an animal as its sub-deity. In a like manner the European who is astronomically inclined adopts the zodiac sign under which he or she was born as a "luck-bringer". The word "Somba" in the Babemba dialect (in country on the eastern confines of the modern Congo Free State which was originally part of the Congo empire in the time of the Portuguese) means "fish". It has been conclusively proved by writers on the folklores and traditions of theao parts that the Babembas came from a more northwestern direction within recent times, viz., 100 years, so that even in 1746, the date given as Toussaint L'ouverture's birth year, it was still used to mean "fish". Therefore, Pasambo or Basomba is equivalent to "the country of fish," and is obviously intended to show that the river "Posambo," as Sir H. H. Johnston spells it, means a river that was filled with fish. The early Portuguese chronicles do speak of unlimited quantities of fish which they obtained, and which were caught by the Africans between the Zaire and Vimba, which both have a main tributary, the former on its right bank, the latter on its left bank, either of which may be the Pasambo. The continuous wars between all the provinces tributary to the King of Congo, when the Portuguese introduced the Christian religion, must be known to Sir H. H. Johnston. About sentatives selected at the convention, it becomes habitual with some of our former representatives, consciously or unconsciously, to load their heads with explosives. Consequently, when these great guns explode, it throws the people so far that sometimes they never recover strength to come back. The Negro race has been so long misguided and misled that we require more instructions, more enlightenment, instead of big explosions in our oratory. The U. N. I. A. desires to unite, humanise and improve the race. Therefore I appeal to all representatives and field workers to be careful in their speeches on the public platform. Give us the real purpose of the U. N. I. A. Let us meditate upon it, and not that which tends to amuse or to confuse. If the speakers will stop being mercurial, stop indulging in speech moroseness, virulence, asperity and causality, and use skill and tactics in diplomacy, we will win more souls to the rank and file of the U. N. I. A. MORTON F. WILSON. U. N. L. A. Member. Montalair, N. J. 1550 the kings old uncle, the governor of Bogotá, the province at the mouth of the river Congo, who had great influence with the king and was thus able to prove a better medium than the Portuguese priest who was sent there, converted the old man, who was the means of introducing the religion to the king. There was continual warfare between the princes, who had been converted in order to please their king, and the unbelievers. For, as the Portuguese chronicles tell us, especially G. E. de Azuvara, the Portuguese deliberately set out "to find some Christian king in those parts who would help them to war against the Moors." Not finding any, they converted the king of Congo by fair or foul means. The deportation of thousands of people per month by the Portuguese during those intertitler wars is heart-rending. Taken for granted that Toussaint L'Ouvverture was a Dahmeen Sir H J Hohnston knows that the "Panyar" system, or, in plain English, kidnapping, went on all along the West Coast of Africa by the English pirates before they were able to gain a permanent foothold in 1820, and went on for many a year after they did gain the foothold, many instances of which can be found in his own works, particularly "Liberia" apart from dozens of other authors who were eyewitnesses to this "hoble" form of enlaying a weak nation. In spite of the above facts, all known to the above authority, he remarks, sarcastically, "As is said in all such occurrences." Here is one example of the many thousands, this one from a book translated from the Dutch of Bosman, by many Englishmen in 1703. 'They tell us they live in peace with all their neighbors, and have no notion of any other enemy than the English, of which nation they had taken some of them, and publicly declared that they would endeavor to get as many of them as the two mentioned ships had carried off of their nation.' This was the account given of the first Dutch boat which weighed anchor off Cape Mizurado, now a part of Liberia. Reverting to the well-known author's conclusion of the most noteworthy incident of Haitian history, he remarks "He was undoubtedly a very fine creature." To those conversant with English as spoken in England by the educated classes, of which I presume Sir H. H. Johnston claims to be in the vanguard, the word "creature" is only used in reference to animals, and it is an insult amongst them to speak of any one as a "creature." It is used in the provinces among farmers and uneducated people of the peasant classes. The word, to the writer's knowledge, has not been used of such great and noble personalities as Toussaint L'Ouverture, be they black, white, brown or yellow. Only despicable characters are spoken of as "creatures." Have any of the numerous readers of "The Negro World" ever seen in any book that Caesar, Alexander, Fredrick the Great, Napoleon, Mary Queen of the Scots, coming down to our own recent times, to the heroes of the great war of 1914-1919, were "undoubtedly fine creatures." I cannot imagine Generals Haig, Joffre, Kitchener, the popular King Albert of the Belgians, being written of as "creatures." It is the sacred duty of every loving son and daughter of the Motherland—Africa—to take serious objection to the harbarious use of such words as the above, which will in any way belittle the feeling of a sublime atmosphere which of necessity should surround the greatest women and men of all ages of our race CONTEMPORARY COMMENT RUSSIA AND THE TURKS Since the expulsion of the Greek forces from Asia Minor there come repeated warlike rumors from Russia. It is reported that the Soviet-Angora treaty blinds the Moscow Government to cooperate with Kemal in the capture of the Dardanelles, and that in consequence the Bolshevik troops in the Caucasus and the Black Sea fleet are being put in readiness for action. General Kameneff. it is said, has started south to take command of the army. It would be well not to take these reports too seriously. Even should Lenine and Trotzsky desire to aid in clearing the Allies out of Constantinople, the difficulties in such an undertaking would be very great. As the antiquated and poorly equipped Russian fleet would be utterly helpless before the Allied war vessel in the Black Sea, any advance on the Bosporus would have to be made by land. But the march through the Caucasus and Asia Minor is so long and so difficult that it would seem impossible for the Soviets to send effective assistance in that way. On the other hand, an invasion of Rumania from the north, were it made in conjunction with a Bulgarian attack from the south, might well open a path along the western shore of the Black Sea and bring the Soviet troops within hailing distance of Constantinople. Such a move, however, would be fraught with danger, for it would expose the Russian flank to attack from either Poland or Jugo-Slavia. Nor is it probable that Lenine, who has for years sought an understanding with the great Powers, will now lightly undertake open hostilities against them. The appearance of a Bolahevik army before the Isimid lines would inaugurate a struggle in which Russia's present regime would have much to lose. If the Soviet leaders really desire to strike a telling blow at Great Britain and France, they will doubtless await an opportunity more favorable than the present—New York sun. 14 NOTICE TO STOCKHOLDERS Adjourned Meeting of Stockholders of BLACK STAR LINE, INC., will be held on Tuesday, Sept. 26th, at 8 P. M., at Liberty Hall, 120 West 138th Street. ELIEE GARCIA, Secretary. The President-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, on his tour of the nation, has been approached by hundreds of loyal members and well wishers of the Association in complaints against the treatment they have received from several of the various departments of the Organization at headquarters, and from individual officers and employees at headquarters, as also against the conduct of certain Executive Officers whilst on the field. The President-General is grieved of the many complaints and hereby begs to announce that a Complaint Department is now established and attached to his office. All persons having complaints to make against any department, officer or employee of the Organization will please write to COMPLAINT DEPARTMENT P. 8.—If you love the Organization and desire to see it improve its service to the race, then you will not fail to report any irregularity on the part of officials, officers and employees of the Organization, caring not whom the person be if he or she has done anything improper or unconstitutional, report it. If you have any complaints send them in now and don't wait until it is too late. Religious Expedition to Africa Held Up Indefinitely The Rev Capt. J. E. Lewis, president-general of the Liberian Transportation & Steamship Navigation Company, with offices on Terminal Island, San Pedro and Monrovia, West Africa, this week frankly admitted he would sail his flagship Angel over the high seas solely at the direction of supernatural powers, as forecast exclusively in these columns several weeks ago. In an exclusive interview he said "If you all knows what I kin lay mah hands on a good sea cap'n send him around." However, it might be well to mention the stipulations. "The cap'n what sails this heah Angel has gotta leave his sextant at home, give his bowditch and tables to de public library, and navigate solely under do guidance of do Lord, who am Almighty." According to the Rev Captain Lewis he'll low as high as $275 per month for a captain who is possessed with an abundance of faith and will follow out his instructions. All applications should be mailed to the local offices of the line. The voyage was to have got under way on August 15, but because of a dearth in reservations for the trip, it had to be abandoned. As a final inducement Lewis has announced that he is in a position to give every passenger thirty acres of choice Liberian land, an African donkey and a plow. The land, he says, is rich in rubber, ivory, sugar cane, etc. However, every passenger must provide himself with a rain coat, as rainfall figures received from the Monrovia office show that 135 inches of rain descends every year. Also, according to Lewis, Liberia has local option, and while he doesn't countenance the use of alcoholic spirits, real beer at twopence a shot is to be had Inamuch as the Angel will carry other passengers besides missionaries, the announcement has been sanctioned by the Board of Directors of the steamship line—Shipping Register, San Francisco, Cal. Sept. 2, 1922. PICKENS IS THE LIAR, SAYS U. S. POSTON In a meeting held Sunday, September 17, at the New Douglas Hall, 142d street and Lenox avenue, by the paper organization known as the "Friends of Negro Freedom." Dean William Pickens, in a clown-like manner, went through an acrobatic performance in trying to explain away the accusation made against him by Mr Garvey that he came to the Universal Negro Improvement Association in the role of a job secker In his explanation, Mr Pickens read a letter from Mr Garvey offering him a job in the Cabinet of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. He took that letter to prove to his hearers that Universal Negro Improvement Association sought his services, instead of him seeking employment with the organization. Mr Pickens in his explanation was not unbiased enough to explain the circumstances that prompted Mr Garvey to write him the letter. Why didn't Mr Pickens tell his hearers of the weeks' conferences he had with Mr Garvey and other members of the Executive Council of the U N I A relative to the severance of his connections with the N A A C P because he was being multreated by those whom he dubbed as high-brows. Why didn't he tell his hearers that he wanted to sever his connections with the N A A C P because they gave Bagnall the job that he thought he should have had? Why didn't he tell his hearers that he wanted to leave the N A C C P, because of the "colcast" that obtained in that organization? Why didn't he tell his hearers that he only refused to come to the U N I A when a large salary was not guaranteed him? Why didn't he tell his hearers that the long article that appeared in the Nation was to pave the way for his entrance into the ranks of the U N I A? Mr Pickens, if you want to be fair you must tell both sides of the conference You made the above statements to Mr Garvey, R. L. Poston, myself and others, and if you deny them you are the liar and must repent before your conscience is clear.

THE NEGRO WORLD. SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER 23. 1922 El Viaje del Secretario Estado Al arribar a la panorámica bahla de Rio de Janeiro, Mr. Hughea debe haber sentido que valia la pena ser secretario de estado para gozar de tan magnifica experiencia. Se ha dicho algunas veces por los viajeros que los puertos más hermosos en el mundo son Rio de Janeiro, Constantinopla y Sidney. En verdad, Rio de Janeiro no tiene rival. Hacer la descripción de su puerto, con la ciudad en el centro, has sido siempre el afan de los visitantes. Ellos tienen que convenir con la generalidad en que la bahla de Rio tiene una insuperable riqueza de atractivos naturales. Si la hermosura es forma visible de lo buena, dice G J. Bruce, entonces tenemos delante la santificación de todas las edades, y entonces se aventura a describir en prosa el escenario, tal como lo vio en el crepúsculo. Nuestra Delegación a la Liga de Naciones Anota Su Primera Victoria—El Profesor J. Joseph Adam, Secretario e Interprete de la Delegación, Demuestra Sus Aptitudes Diplomáticas—El Embajador Haltiano en Francia Expone Las Atrocidades Cometidas en Africa—Augurio del Gran Exito de Nuestra Organización Nos es placentero manifestar el feliz arribo de la delegación enviada por nuestra tercera Convención Internacional a la Liga de Naciones, actualmente reunida en Geneva, Suiza, así como también la impresión satisfactoria que nuestra delegación ha obtenido en dicha Asamblea por medio de la exposición del delegado Bellegarde de Haiti, sobre las atrocidades cometidas en las colonias del sudoeste de Africa, por los mandatarios ingleses. La bahia, con sus montañas centunelas, prodigiosas y fantásticas, como si surgiere de una tierra de ensueños la profusión: de islotes y palmas, cuyas aguas parecen ser demasiado azules para ser reales, son indescriptibles, pero el llega a la siguiente conclusión: Los muchos espirales y dombones de la ciudad se destacan en el fondo de esmeralda de magico efecto. Las avenidas de palmares que aquí y alli intersectan la ciudad dan al cuadro un toque tropical. Las montañas, con sus gigantes accessibles picos y la gran extension dal panorama sugiere una grandeza majestuosa. El soi, las pinceladas en el aire, la florestas y las flores, que presentan multitud de coloridos, the consagran además con un paraje de sublime encanto. El discurso del delegado M. Bellegarde, con su elocuencia, impresionó grandemente a la Asamblea, en su propósito de dar a conocer la verdad sobre los hechos en contra de los nativos africanos, ejecutados por los poderes dominantes. Con esta información ante la Liga de Naciones es razonable asumir que nuestra petición para que se devuelvan las antiguas colonias alemanas de Africa a los Pueblos Negros del Universo, bajo los auspicios de la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra, reciba una consideración mas favorable. La bahia de Rio de Janeiro es el puerto más pintoresco del mundo. No se sabe a punto fijo cual fue el primer explorado que tuvo la fortuna de encontrarlo. La mayor parte de las autoridades portuguesas en la materia dicen que el fortunate fué André Conzalves, cuya carabela surcó las aguas de la bahia el primero de Enero de 1502. Jazgo que la boca del rio era la más espaciosa que habia visto, por lo cual lo llamo Rio de Enero. Conzalves no se detuvet a explorar el rio de su imaginación. La ciudad moderna de Rio de Janeiro es tan imponente como el puerto hermoso. Oakenfull dice en su excelente panfleto sobre el Brasil: La delegación, instruida por la Convención que le envía, ha de hacer uso de todos los medios disponibles para que nuestra petición a la Liga de Naciones obtenga la debida consideración. El Prpf. Jean Joseph Adam de Haiti, secretario e interprete de la delegación, por medio de su influencia ha persuadido a su conciudadano Monsieur Bellegarde, para que este se adhiera a la causa por justicia para los nativos del continente africano. En tiempo del imperio las ciudades del Brasil estaban atrasadas. Las calles de la capital eran estrechas, sin pavimento y escasamente iluminadas con acide de pescado. Las calantarillas y represas no existían. La mayor parte de las casas eran de un solo piso y las más elevadas apenas si poseían dos. Si nada más se hubiera hecho, el país entero respiraba vida. El país se mantiene en movimiento. Debemos dar a nuestra delegación el soporte necesario, que le abilite para llevar a cabo la misión que le ha sido encomendada. Es por consiguiente nuestro deber apelar a las divisiones de nuestra organización para que envien inmediatamente a la oficina central la contribución que sufrague los gastos de la delegación. La división local de esta ciudad ha contribuido ya con mas de tres mil pesos; la ciudad de Detroit ha contribuido con mil pesos, todas y cada una de las distintas divisiones estan esforzandose por completar la contribución que les corresponde con este objeto. Luego de cumplida su misión en la Asamblea de la Liga de Naciones, la delegación visitaria varios de los principales países de Europa, con el propósito de estudiar condiciones en beneficio de nuestra organización. En 1903 el gobierno preparó un ambicioso programa de mejoras municipales. A lo largo del puerto e construyó una muralla de piedra de ocho pies de altura en una distancia de dos mallas. La bahia se convivio en un sistema de muelles. La amphia y hermosa avenida de Rio Branco se construyó en el corazón de la ciudad. Cinco edificios se construyeron a ambos lados, al extremo sur los grandes edificios del estado, el teatro municipal, el palacio Monroe, la birreira nacional y la academia de bellas artes. Tres hileres de arboles adornan la avenida Rio Branco y amplias aceras de piedra blanca y negra en forma de mosaico. Una de las glorias de la ciudad moderna es la avenida Beira-Mar, consus magnificas casas y jardines. Todas las playas han sido conectadas con la ciudad por caminos de asfalto y concreto y ahora es posible recorrerla en automóvil en una extensión de cuarenta millas hasta los barrios baños. La labor de nuestra organización, como hemos antes manifestado, es muy práctica y será facilmente realizada por medio de la cooperación general de la raza. El Africa, por medio de nuestra determínación, basada en los fines de nuestra organización, ha de verse habitada y sus destinos dirigidos por sus propios hijos, los hijos de Etiopia. Ambicionamos nacionalidad; ambicionamos una nacionalidad africana independiente que proteja a sus subditos con el poder que lo ejecuta cualquier otra nación establecida. Hemos de establecer alli una asociación cooperativa, constituyendo en uno solo los intereses generales de la raza, encarriando el continente hacia una nueva era de bienestar. Rio de Janeiro, bajo el punto de vista sanitario, ha sido una de las grandes ciudades más higiénicas. La proporción de mortalidad es ahora menos de un veinte por mil. En la primera administración del presidente Rodríguez Alvez se inició la campaña, bajo la dirección del celebrado científico brasileño, Dr. Osvaldo Cruz, para erradicar los malos gérmenes, inclusive los mosquitos. La capital se ha visto libre por mucho tiempo de la fiebre amarilla. La mortalidad por la tuberculosis es menor en Rio de Janeiro que en Nueva York. El mejoramiento de las condiciones sanitarias es un triunfo de la sanidad, pues el clima es calido y húmedo, ascendiendo la temperatura de 50 a 99.5 grados Fahrenheit, con un promedio de 74 para todo el año. Es una gran proeza mantener en tal proporción la mortalidad en una población de 1.157.873 habitantes, según el censo de 1920. Entramos en la labor de un nuevo año; los miembros deptos a nuestra organización en todas partes, unidos an solo pensamiento, han de librar las batallas y salir antes en la marcha hacia el progreso. Los enemigos de nuestra causa han hecho uso de todas sus facultades con le propósito de destruir nuestra labor, sin hasta el presente haber obtenido resultado alguno. Estos individuos, en su mayoria, han sido descartados de las filas de nuestra organización por su poca lealtad a la causa que defendemos. Ellos son en gran parte responsables por todos nuestros contratiempos; pero ya que nos hemos librado de estos paráditos, podemos respirar mas liberamente en una atmósfera mas sana. Las medidas tomadas por la Convención para deshacerse de la mala semilla han sido considerados como actos de celo por los intereses de nuestro movimiento y no hay temor a las consecuencias. Hombres sin reputación pueden ocasionar muy poco daño a movimientos legales y bien cimentados. Continuemos por consiguiente, la labor de este nuevo año, batallando por los intereses de nuestra organización, cuyo resultado ha de ser justicia, paz, prosperidad. De Nuevo un Poder Un poder militar más puede figur entre las naciones del mundo a causa de los acontecimientos del Asia Menor. Durante los últimos cuatro años los turcos legan al último extremo de la suerte afpantador por el'os en cinco siglos. Parceia que tiél ejecución del abortivo tratado de Sevres podía garantizar a Europa el imperio de la ley y el orden en parte del Asia Menor y匀antener en paz los turcos en el resto. Pero habiéndose desatado Grecia, habiendo vuelto a Constantin, gobernante en quien los poderes europeos no conflaron para el cumplimiento de sus obligaciones nacionales y habiendo desplegado el rey su juego para adquirir un nuevo gran imperio a costa de Turquia, los preparativos se desbarataron. El tratado por ratificarse nunca se puso en vigencia. En vez de un plan con varias grandes naciones respaldado por la autoridad de la civilización, los turcos se encontraron frente a la agresión pan-helenica, lo cual despertó sus instintos combativos. Defendiendo el suelo que habían poseido por centurias, los turcos lucharon admirablemente. Demostrar que tenían una organización guerrera capaz a pesar de la naturaleza provisional de su gobierno. Triunfaron después de una larga lucha, pero lograron la victoria más completa alcanzada por ejecución alguno en los aflos recientes. El hecho demuestra la restauración de los turcos un poder militar. En cuanto a los griegos, parece probable que pelearon sin el entusiasmo de la victoria. En 1912 ejércitos bajo los mismos colores ayudaron a serbios y bulgaros a detrotar los turcos en la Tracia. Los griegos pelearon entonces con espendido entusiasmo nacido de la seguridad de que el echar a los turcos de Europa servirian al cristianismo y restaurarian el imperio de Bizanco. Constantino no fue quizás el hombre para mantener el calor de la talptusiasmo, a pesar de que tanto reiteró el motivo de la cruzada. Cualquiera que sea la causa, falto a sus tropas algo del fuego anterior que los capacito para hacer de ellas una de las grandes razas luchadoras del mundo La derrota griega ha hecho dato en el Islam a las naciones occidentales. Ha presentado el cuadro vivo del occidental derrotado por los fuertes partidarios del profeta. Esa derrota ha librado quizas al mundo de las ambiciones militares del rey griego. La ventajar de reducir el armenio europeo, pues que el cambio de la situacion en Grecia apenas si contribuye a ello, trae consigo la dificultad de la probable restauraction del poder militar en Turquia. El resultado hace resaltar el hecho de que los turcos están en el lugar de donde provienen. Grecia trato de abrumartos y fracaso. Nadie ha mostrado hasta aquí todavía la intención de tratar de resolver la dificultad y lo que pudiera decirse la tarea sin gracia. Si ellos no han de ser subyugados, corresponde a las naciones tratar con los turcos de tal manera como puedan asegurar su consentimiento y ayuda para mejorar las condiciones de vida en sus dominios.—N. Y. Sun. Las dos Republicas Sud- americanas Aprobarán el Tratado Al annunciarse que el Perú no asistiria a la asambiea de la Liga de Naciones de la cual es president el prominente diplomático chileno Agustin Edwards, se temió en algunos circulos qué esto despertaria en Chile oposición para impedir la aprobación final del acuerdo Tacna-Arica. Pero Chile comprende bien que la acción del Perú era meramente un gesto para el efecto político interior antes que con otro propósito y además se añade que Chile desea serariamente que se sojuice la cuestión Tacna-Arica, por lo cual ha descartado la aparente afrenta y no permitirá que ella tenga qué hacer con la finalidad de los planes del arbitraje tan bien inciados. En cuanto al Perú, el gobierno ha obtenido un voto de confianza por su política exterior y se espera en cualquier momento la noticia de que la asamblea peruana aprueba definitivamente el tratado. Los empleados tienen esperanza de que similar aprobación sea otorgada por la asamblea chilena en el futuro. Segun los términos del protocolo el cambio de ratificaciones debe tener lugar en Washington dentro de tres meses después de la fecha del acuerdo y el cual expira el veinte de Octubre.

RICHARD HENRY BOYD NASHVILLE, Tenn., Aug. 28, 1922 (Special) — "The tallest tree in the Baptist forest has fallen; the long expected has transpired; the Grand Old Man has left us." All that was mortal of the late Richard Henry Boyd was placed in a vault in this city and is resting out at Greenwood Cemetery, after impressive services were held over the remains in the Ryman Auditorium, the largest public building in the city. While it was the desire of the family that the funeral be as simple as possible, the services of the deceased, the sphere that he had filled in the race and nominational ranks made this desire in its entirely impossible, as there were representatives from both races from various sections of the United States who had come to pay special homage and to add their testimonies to the life and work of the deceased. The funeral oration was delivered by Dr. L. L. Campbell, the president of the Missionary Baptist State Convention of Austin, Texas, who had known Dr. Boyd from boyhood and whom Dr. Boyd had brought into the ministry. There were remarks by Dr. E. P. Jones, President of the National Baptist Convention of Evanston, Ill.; Dr. Ernest Hall of Atlanta, Ga.; Dr. C. H. Clark of Chicago, Ill.; Dr. Jno. H. Frank of Louisville, Kv.; Dr. J. P. Robinson of Little Rock, Ark.; Dr. L. J. VanNess and Hon. Jno. Bell Koehler of this city. Mrs. Luis Mae Huller Hurse of Kansas City, Mo., rendered a special solo. Dr. Campbell drew a life picture of the work of the deceased, following him from the back woods of Texas to the apex of denominational and racial achievements. The Baptist ministers of Nashville were honorary pall-bearers, while the following were active pall-bearers: Dr. J. H. Hale, Lawyer J. W. Grant, Mr. H. D. Hawkins, Reva J. A. Brown, H. A. Alfred and J. C. Fielda. The National Baptist Publishing Board's employee occupied a section in the Ryman Auditorium set apart for them, as they were mourners. The music for the occasion was under the direction of Mr. Arthur G. Price, a former employee of the publishing board. The remains by special request of thousands of Baptists were placed in a vault at Greenwood Oratory and will be viewed at the similar section of the National Baptist Convention. "The story of Dr. Boyd's life, said one of the Baptist divisions of the city, "is stranger than fiction." His work is still establishing the National Baptist Publishing Board's role in engraved on all documents. THE SPIRIT OF GARVEYISH Language nearly fails to give tangible expression to the feelings of a patriot to the cause of the 400,000,000 Negroes of the world, one for which any race-conscious Negro should be proud to live and die, one for which many of those guns on before us would gladly say, like Simeon of old, "Lord, now lestest thou thy servant depart peace, for mine eyes have seen Thy salvation," and one in which rests the future destiny of the Negro peoples of the world. It is a rather regrettable fact that although the Mon. Marcus Garvey, with the wonderful lorelight given him by the Almighty to pierce the gloom of the future, with the statesmanship, and generalship and, last but not least, the wonderful nerve, to go out in the face of storms of criticism, fighting the raging seas of opposition, to marshal the forces of the 400,000,000 in order that when the crucial moment comes they would be able to present a solid fighting front, backed up with a rear equally strong, yet there are some Negroes who go about endowing to stop the progress of this movement by spreading worthless propaganda, and subtle fabrications, seizing upon the weakness of the organization and making them their strongest weapons of aggression, thus intimidating those who would willingly step out and join the ranks of this association, the very name of which is synonymous with progress and uplift for this down-trodden race of Ethiopia. Buch individuals are not worthy of the name of men, more applicable would be the sobriquet of dogs of the "dog-in-the-manger" type. Men who try to stand in the way of the progress of their own people should be got out of the way, they are traitors. and, like all traitors, the full penalty of such a crime should be meted out to them, and for my part they would be subjected to tortures that I believe exist only in hell. Liberty and freedom are the highest attributes to which man can ever aspire; nations fight to the last man for it. men fight to the last drop of their blood for it, as was so vividly illustrated in the World War. Men, when they see death staring them in the face, on the one hand, and the likelihood of being enslaved, on the other, walk boldly into the jaws of death rather than be slaves, and just like Patrick Henry, whom I cannot but remember at this stage, at the time when America was just on the eve of war, at a moment when all seemed wavering and undecided with the fear of war and death, when he, in an outburst of pent-up emotion, enthused into those leading ones gathered around him the spirit of democracy, the fire which has so devastated so many lands, orphaned millions of children, and left as many widows, when he explained: "I know not what the gentlemen may want, but as for me, give me liberty or give me death," the words which saved America from the iron-gloved hand of tyranny and oppression, the words which made her the land of liberty she is today, and the cradle of Negro freedom. Today the Negro has got a veritable Patrick Henry in their noble and indomitable leader, the Hon. Marcus Garvey, one who is uncompromising in his attitude, fearless in the execution of his duty to those whom he has sworn to serve, and one whose motto is: "Liberty in its trust sense of the word for the 400,000,000 Negroes of the world or death." Men may say the things which please them best, but it is an unquestionable fact that ideas heretofore have revolutionized the world, and are doing it yet, and what is more tantalizing with them, they cannot be arrested and imprisoned, although the authors of them may be thrown into dark and loathsome dungeons, to be eaten by rats, and die of starvation. The spirit that prompted the Pilgrim Rathers to leave the shores of their native land, to journey in the frail and unseaworthy Mayflower to a strange and unknown land, was one of freedom, and today we behold as a result one of the greatest countries on earth the United States of America. It is the same spirit that gave incentive to the reformers to carry on their great work through thick and thin, amidst opposition and criticism from church and State, and today we have Christian churches scattered throughout the length and breadth of every land, where the most uncivilized are found, preaching the doctrine of the Redemption of Mankind, through the death of our Saviour, Jesus Christ, the Son of God. "It is the same spirit that inspired the immortal Bacon to start and carry through his educational reform, which gives us today the greatest educational policy the world has ever seen. The spirit that fired the Pilgrim Bather, the spirit that burned within Bacon, the spirit that inspired the reformers, is the same spirit that has entered, given inspiration and fired the soul of the Hon. Marcus Garvey to start the doctrine of the Redemption of Africa, and the 400,000,000 Negroes of the World, and is the same spirit that will enable him to stand fearlessly while anthemers are hurried at him, to advance in the face of thunderbolts of oppression and to accomplish his aim, and whether it be five years or five hundred years from now, there shall yet be established a United States of Africa, which will be the glorious consummation of Carvayism. Bravo for His Excellency, the Hon. Marcus Garvey, President of this wonderful and for teaching Universal Morale Movement Association. He has indeed been the leader of Negro Liberty from the air, and the leader of the establishment of the abolitionist movement in this battle. He has been the leader of the peace which was unassumed and has been the leader of the abolitionist movement in this battle. exhausted omen. If obstinence threatens to action, and misleads I use them together and steel. Their power for the final effect; they are determined to live true to Gis, and soon shall we hear this old earth vibrate beneath the march of the 400,000,000; soon shall we hear the atmosphere reecho the sounds of 400,000,000 violent crying for liberty. There can be no doubt that the Mon. Maruus Garvey has struck the match and lighted the torch of democracy; he has planted it on the highest possible pinnacle; the brilliance of its rays illuminate the darkest corner of the earth, and it seems as if by magic men stand and gaze at the luminary; they realise its meaning and begin to move slowly, following it over devious ways and winding path, following that which spells Negro liberty. There is one fact that is very manifest, and that is everybody seems to be directing their attacks toward the Hon. Marcus Garvey, probably with the belief that to cut a tree one must necessarily start at the root, but to every rule there is an exception, and it is unquestionably so in this case. The Hon. Marcus Garvey is but a man, and whatever are his faults, the new Negro says, like the member of Parliament: "O Garvey, sweet Garvey, with all thy faults we love these still." Many believe that, should he die, this work would stop. Not Should they burn him at the stake until his body be reduced to ashes, and his ashes in turn thrown to the winds, it would not stop the U. N. L. A. for each particle of ashes will enter into the soul of a Negro, and in him shall be born again 100,000 Marous Garveya, with a double amount of determination and energy, and rather than hinder its progress will but hasten the great day for African Redemption. Therefore, let us unite, for unity is strength; consolidate our efforts, pool our resources, make firm resolutions, and go forward, regardless of opposition, taking no notice of criticism, so that when we shall have gathered on the shores of our motherland we will not be a Jim-crowed, discriminated, segregated, maligned and unrepresented 400,000,000, but a free—free 400,000,000, standing on the shores of a Free Africa, under the outspread wings of the Red, Black and Green.

VICTORIA DE LAS TUNAS, ORIENTE, CUBA VICTORIA DE LAS TUNAS, ORIENTE, CUBA On Sunday, July 20, 1922, Mr Wm. Stennett, president of the Manati Division No. 332, visited Las Tunas for the purpose of organising a branch of the U. N. I. A. in that town. After consulting with a few of the principal Negro citizens of the town, a meeting was arranged for at the home of Mr. Joe. A. White, a prominent and well respected citizen of the town. The meeting was called to order at 8:08 p. m. by Mr. G. A. Barnes, another well-known citizen, who acted as chairman for the evening, with Mr. W. A. Goulbourne as secretary pro tem. After the singing of the association's opening ode and prayer from the constitution, the chairman gave a brief opening address explaining to the audience of about twenty the object of the meeting. He then introduced the president to the audience. The president on rallies was received with absurd. He then addressed the meeting for about seventy minutes, giving in detail the aims and objects of the association and the history of its rise and progress up to the present time. He pointed out to the audience the great necessity of organizing and uniting with this mighty and progressive movement for the uplifting of the Negro race along all lines. At the close of his address several of the gentleman present addressed the meeting, als a lady member from the Navajo Division who was present. Steven persons then enrolled their names as members and elected Mr. D. A. Harring as acting president, Mr. W. A. Goubourne as secretary and Mr. J. A. White as treasurer. RECEPTION GIVEN TO DELEGATE CHRISTIAN Sept. 11, 1922 Bunda) September 10, was ladies day in the Columbus Division of Ohio Great Interest was manifested in the day's proceedings, because the Executive Secretary, Mr. G R Christian had recently returned from New York, where he was attending the Third International Convention of Negro Peoples of the World. The very warm greetings given in every hand and the hearty handshakes showed that Mr Christian occupies a very warm spot in the hearts of the Columbus folks. It was very pleasing to observe that so many of the other race were anxious to see Mr Christian return to his work in Columbus and to extend to him as cordial a greeting As told by Mr Robert Poston in the Negro World of Sept 9, the Columbus Division is in a very healthy state and the members and we wad wishers were very anxious to hear the report that the delegate had to deliver. This report was given in a masterly manner and the large audience extinct the greatest interest in what was said. The Lady President, Mrs Lillian Robinson presided. A fine program of songs recitations and short speeches was carried through by the ladies. At the close of this program the delegate was asked to present his long-looked-for report. Before giving his report Mr Christian praised the division for the noble spirit exhibited throughout the month of August and the fine response given to the Delegation Fund on the visit of the Secretary-General, Bir Robert Poston. The report was given under the following heads Religious service in Liberty Hall New York Welcome address by Mayor Hyland of New York The great parade and our own aviator soaring above the great crowd The great demonstration at the First Regiment Armory The never-to-be-forgotten Court Reception The sympathetic address delivered by the Japanese Journalist The soul-attiring and masterly address delivered by the Hindoo on the Gandhi movement, and the wish for the success of the Universal Negro Improvement Association The success of the ladies' exposition and the winning of a first prize by Mrs. Broadway of the Columbus Division. The resignation and election of the officers of the High Executive Council The Black Star Line Its success and set-back, and the determination of all the delegates to have a shipping line in the near future The importance of the Membership Thrift Loan. The time having grown late, the other portion of the report was laid over for a future date. The audience showed their appreciation by giving a very fine collection The Division is now very busy devising ways and means of purchasing a Liberty Hall. During Emancipation Week a grand carnival will be held at the Dunbar Hall, and on Friday night, September 22, His Highness the Potentate, the Hon. Gabriel) Johnson will address a large and enthusiastic crowd. The ladies, including Mra Annie Ols. Ada Burgen, Roxie Miller, Emma Williams, Margaret Rogers Ies Hamilton, Cora and Anna Irvina are busy collecting funds towards the Liberty Hall. The success of the third convention is making itself felt in the division. Several people who used to give a cold shoulder to the organization realized that the Universal Negro Improvement Association has become a power in world politics, and they have voluntarily joined the ranks. This is indeed a good sign, and it goes far to show such men as Pickens, Randolph, Owen and Bagnall that every time they start out to do dirt to this mighty organization they unwittingly add members to it. In Columbus all sections of the inhabitants realize that the U. N. I. A. has come to stay, and that its program is not ad impossibility. All eyes and ears are now tourned towards Europe to learn something of the great diplomatic stroke made by the President-General in sending that delegation to Geneva. The prayers of the Columbus Division are that great good will come out of this move. Long live the Universal Negro Improvement Association! SGT. G. RUPERT CHRISTIAN 1287 Mt. Vernon Ave. Columbus, Ohio HAPPENINGS IN ST. KITTS, NEVIS, B. W. L HAPPENINGS IN ST. KITTS, NEVIS, B. W. L (Special to The Negro World from Basseterra, St. Kitts, B. W. I.) Sooner or later discontent will be quite as rampant in the West Indies as it is in Ireland, Egypt, India and other parts of the British empire. On Monday, May 19, the Magistrate Court Hall, Basseterra, was crowded with all classes of people to witness the trial of Mr. J. A. Nathan, prominent Negro leader and secretary of the St. Kitts-Nevis Universal Benevolent Association. Mr. Nathan was brought up before Magistrate Semper on four charges, brought against him by D. F. Delaney and Dr. Durant, two prominent Irishmen residing in St. Kitts. Mr. Delaney is chief accountant at the Basseterra sugar factory and Dr. Durant is superintendent of Public Health (a government office). These two men were able assisted by W. E. Wilder, Inspector of Police, also an Irishman. The charges preferred were: Two for treason, one for insulting language, and one for rioting conditions. Mr. Watson, who defended by a brilliant, ordered, lawman, C. Clement Malone, who succeeded in getting three of the charges dismissed. The magistrate, who showed through the trial THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1922 that he was biased, is also a colored man, but as he is extremely fond of white people's company he went beyond the bounds of reason to satisfy the white people in deciding one of the charges against Mr Nathan. This same magistrate fined Mr Nathan £3 or $14.40, and costs. Up to the present time it is undecided as to whether Mr Nathan will pay the fine or appeal. CONVENTION FUND OF UNIVERSAL IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION FOR The cases against Mr Nathan originated on the afternoon of May 19, when Mr Nathan had cause to go to Mr Delaney's residence to protect a servant girl who is a member of the St. Louis Nevis Universal Beneficial Association. The girl is a native of Antigua and applied to the organization for protection. Earlier in the day Mr Delaney struck the girl, and the girl who happens to be a new Negro struck back with double force. She was then and there dismissed and told to call back at 5 p.m. for her money when Mr Delaney would be at home. The Delaneys, who are always tricky with their servants were not to be trusted. The girl applied for assistance and Mr Nathan accompanied her to the Delaney home, whence the cases referred to were started. It is unfortunate that such a thing happened at this time, as the relationship between back and white people here was greatly improved lately. This action, which is brought on through the indiscretion of the imported white people of the island is highly resented and may lead to further trouble. In fairness to all it should be distinctly stated that many of the native white people highly disapprove of the whole affair and will have nothing at all to do with it. CONVENTION FUND EXCURSION GIVEN BY THE TORONTO DIVISION CONVENTION FUND EXCURSION GIVEN BY THE TORONTO DIVISION TORONTO. Aug 19, 1922 — A very enjoyable time was spent on August 17 when the third annual excursion of Division No 21, I N I A, to Niagara Falls took place. It was indeed a very good outing and everyone enjoyed himself. Prof Matthews jazz band furnished the music. The colored people of Toronto, who are just crazy about dancing, cut themselves loose to the jazzy music. Lady Francis, in charge of the excursion, worked hard to make it a success, greatly aided by her co-workers. In spite of all opposition and the fact that our field representatives were greatly hampered in making collections, the division hopes in a few days to send a check or money order to show that we are not going to be off the convention list when the time for checking up arrives. We desire to thank everyone, both colored and white, for their patronage. To the whites especially we extend our thanks, for they are always ready to help us when we make an effort to help ourselves, and we hope to have their support yearly, because we are going to have an excursion as long as the U N I A. is in existence. Some folks seem to think that the U N I A. will perish in Toronto, but let me say right now to the colored people of Toronto that we have among our members those who would die for the cause, and anyone who thinks to the contrary is a fool. Yours truly. G H LOYAL MEMBER OF U. N. I. A. PASSES AWAY IN SPANISH HONDURAS LOYAL MEMBER OF U. N. I. A.
