The Negro World

THE Negro World ONE GOD, ONE AIM, ONE DESTINY SENEGALESE NEGRO DEPUTY TRAITOR TO HIS COUNTRY, AFRICA The Indispensable Weekly The Voice of the Awakened Negro VOL. XIII. No. 15 SENEGALESE TRAITO FELLOW MEN OF THE NEGRO RACE, Greeting: I have now before me a cable report from Paris, published in the New York World of the 20th inst., in which Monsieur Diagne, the black Senegalese Deputy, has been quoted by the "Echo de Paris" as saying, among other things published in a front page article of this French newspaper, that "Garvey's crusade for the redemption of Africa can only fall flat, for African Negroes are diverse, and lacking in cohesion. The dangerous Utopia proposed would not serve their real interests. The majority of both Negro Congresses at Paris in 1919 and at Brussels in 1921 opposed Garveyism strongly." The reporter of the "Echo de Paris" asked Diagne the following question: "Is the movement dangerous?" He answered, "Not now, but eventually." The paper went on to say, however, that Monsieur Diagne himself as a Negro believes that most Americans are eager to see Garvey succeed and take the surplus Negro population out of the country. He says the United States Negro population has risen from four millions in 1866 to fifteen millions now. DIAGNE AND SIKI in the above statements Monsieur Diagne runs true to form. This countryman of Siki has exhibited the same love for his race as the new discredited light-heavyweight champion of Europe. Siki, as everybody knows, is married to a white woman, and immediately after he won his championship he offered $50,000 to anyone who could change him from black into white. Monsieur Diagne, the Deputy for Senegal, has also a white wife, and we feel sure that he would offer any amount of money to change his color. This accounts for the lack of "cohesion" and the "diversity" he speaks of in his countrymen, judging his countrymen from his own feeling and standard. Diagne does not know that all Africans do not feel like him on the race question. THE PAN-AFRICAN CONGRESSES Not all black men are willing to commit race suicide and to abhor their race for the companionship of another. There are hundreds of millions of us black men who are proud of our skins, and to us the African Empire will not be a Utopia, neither will it be dangerous, nor fail to serve our best interests, because we realize that, like the leopard, we cannot change our skins, and so long as black is black, and white is white, the black man shall occupy a position of inferiority depending upon the justice of the great white race to lead and direct him. No race in the world is so just as to give to others a square deal in --- A Newspaper Devoted Solely to the Interests of the Negro Race NEW YORK, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1922 NEGRO DEPARTER TO HIS COU LIKE SINCE HE HAS WHITE WIFE AND WORSHIP AT SHRINE OF WHITEAUCRACY RACE DOESN'T TAKE HIM SERIOUSLY NECFOES WHO LIVE OFF WHITE PATROVAGE DANGEROUS CHARACTERS things economical, political, social and otherwise. Diagne is belonging to the Du Bois group, who adore whiteness as a perfection to be aimed at by all mankind, and that is why he made reference to the Pan-African Congresses of Brussels and Paris. Who made up the Pan-African Congress but Du Bois, Diagne and fellows of their ilk, fellows who are willing to worship at the shrine of "Whiteaucracy," and who ignore all that is black, past, present and of the future? Diagne is surrounded by the influence of white men in France, even as Du Bois is surrounded by the influence of white men in America at 70 Fifth Avenue, New York. What, then, can we expect from such Negroes but a slavish idolism for their patrons and a curse for their own people? Diagne ought to know that the influence of the Pan-African Congress counts for naught among self-respecting Negroes. All black men do not want white women for wives or for companions; therefore, we are bound to have a different opinion on things to such fellows as Du Bois and Diagne. RESPECT WOMANHOOD We respect the womanhood of the white race, inasmuch as we expect the men of the white race to respect the womanhood of the black race. Fellows like Diagne are those who aggravate the race question, because they force white men to conclude that to educate a black man, to give him opportunities, is but to fit him to be a competitor for the hand of his woman; hence, the eternal race question; but we of the Universal Negro Improvement Association say to the white race, and especially to the manhood of the race, that we feel that only the lowest element among Negroes seek marriage or companionship with women of other races. The men of the highest morals, highest character and noblest pride are to be found among the masses of the Negro race who love their women with as much devotion as white men love theirs. With us there will be no trouble, but the trouble will come from fellows like Diagne, who are not satisfied with themselves. DIAGNE A PUPPET OF FRANCE Everybody knows that Diagne is but the puppet of France, like the Jack-in-the-box as PRICE: FIVE CENTS IN GREATER NEW YORK SEVEN CENTS ELSEWHERE IN THE U.S.A. TEN CENTS IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES UTY NTRY, AFRICA France pulls the string he dances to the amusement of the gallery. This kind of propaganda stuff has been long exploded. Diagne must understand that neither France nor himself has a lease on Africa. Africa belongs to the four hundred million Negroes of the world, and we are going to possess it whether it takes us one year, ten, fifty or one thousand. A million Pan-African Congresses may rule to the contrary, we are determined that Africa shall be redeemed and four hundred million Negroes emancipated throughout the world. As we have often said, the Negro who lives on the patronage of philanthropists is the most dangerous member of our society because he is willing to turn back the clock of progress at any time when his benefactor asks him so to do. We, therefore, do not wonder at the strange sayings of this African, who enjoys the companionship of a white wife and ignores the very existence of his own mother. THE SENEGALESE VS: DIAGNE We are consoled when we know that the millions of Senegalese think differently to Diagne. If he were to go to Senegal and give utterance to the trash that he expressed in the interviews with the "Echo de Paris," he knows well that he would not leave Senegal a live man, but he takes advantage of his country and his countrymen by remaining in a white man's country and flatter them to the highest by selling out the rights of his own. We will not take him seriously, nevertheless we mention the affair so as to warn the millions of devotees of African freedom that we must be on the guard to save ourselves from our friends. The nine hundred and fifty divisions of the Universal Negro Improvement Association shall now make a desperate effort to convert every living Negro to the doctrine of the organization. We want your support now, morally and financially, to impress upon France and the entire European world that we are in earnest over the freedom of Africa. Whilst Diagne thinks our effort Utopian he yet acknowledges that the movement will eventually be a dangerous one as far as the liberation of Africa is concerned? What does he mean by this? Does he mean that to free Africa is dangerous? If that black man means this, then he is nothing else but a wretch he is a traitor of the blackest kind, who will sell his country and his countrymen, but for a mess of white pottage. Let your support float to the Universal Negro Improvement Association more than ever in helping us to put over this gigantic program. With very best wishes for your success, I have the honor to be Your obedient servant. MARCUS GARVEY. President General UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION NEW YORK. November 21, 1827.

ZOVER, Manager HARLEM RIVER AVE., HUDSON G. PAYCE, Suitcase Mechanic Stanley Morton, 6718 LIBERTY HALL, New York Sunday Night, November 19 - Liberty Hall presented a scene of enthusiasm tonight that undoubtedly gave encouragement and inspiration to the leaders of the Universal Negro Improvement Association in the gigantic task which has been imposed upon them in blasting the way for the complete emancipation of the race and creating a status for the Negro that will rank him among the other races and nations of the world by virtue of the fact that he will have a government of his own on the continent of Africa. There can be no greater evidence that the Universal Negro improvement Association on has gripped the hearts of the people more than any other organization than the presence in Liberty Hall night after night of thousands of people who journey thither from far and near to absorb the teachings which can only be propagated by this movement teachings which have caused the world to give some thought and attention to the possibilities and potentialities of a race of people whom they have considered to be inferior and who was intended to be only the words of others and not to function as an independent people. It stands to the credit of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and its leader the Hon. Marcus Garvey, that this attitude on the part of others has been changed in the short space of five years during which the movement has been in existence and the world looks upon the Negro today with a different eye and accords him a greater modicum of respect than that which he received prior to the advent of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. The speakers tonight were Hon R L. R. Poston, Secretary-General, Hon Vernal J. Williams, Assistant Council-General); Hon F. A. Toote, International Organizer, and the President-General, Hon Marcus Survey. The speeches were full of inspiration, force and deep thought and infused into the audience a feeling of pride to be associated with a movement that has produced men of the type who are now leading it. The Hon. Marcus Carney announced his intention to leave New York after this week for an extended tour in the Western States in the interest of the association, the Federal authorities having notified him that they were still unready to proceed with the case against him and would be for some time yet. This news, which gives an optimistic aspect to the case in so far as the interest of the U N L A. are concerned, must be very disquieting to the enemies of the association who believed that by this time the leader of the movement would be reeling, as one newspaper put it, within the walls of his mansion in Atlanta. following are the speeches delivered: MON. MARCUS GARVEY'S SPEECH Hon. Marcus Garvey spoke as follows: My subject for a few minutes tonight is "The Burden of Leading the Negro." I have always from a child been willing to work. I have never yet shirked labor of any kind. When I was fourteen I was doing a man's job, and I was willing to go the whole length of it and prove that I also was a man, but I never know. there was a job so hard and difficult in all the world until I got into the job of leading the Universal Negro Improvement Association. The unfortunate thing about it, too, is that I cannot get out of the job. I just have to stick on the job and die on the job, because I talked too much; I mean by that that I said too much, and because I have said so much I have to die on the job. All leaders have had their troubles and trials. There has never been a movement where the leader has not suffered for the cause and not received the ingratitude of the people, and I like the rest am prepared for the consequences. Those of us who lead are not looking for reward, but the greater satisfaction comes to us when we know that the people whom we are leading are appreciative for their own good. The world has never had anything good to say about its leaders. They never had anything good to say about Jesus, they never had anything good to say about Mahomet nor Luther and the great reformers. Leaders have never enjoyed the appreciation of the people while they lived. After they died the people found out probably that they had laboured for the common good I cannot expect any appreciation from Negroes, yet I will not lose sight of the vision that is apparent to each one of us that vision is the redemption of Africa and the manipulation of this race of men caring not what happens to me or any individual we dare not lose sight of that vision because if we do we will be damned forever. The Fight for Existence The fight that we are making in this organization is one that we must continue forward for our dream forever. Now more than ever Africa has become the objective of the world. Whilst we are wrangling here and fighting each other here and opening each other there some saying they have nothing in Africa and they are not concerned with Africa the whole white world is centering on the exploitation and development of Africa for themselves. Not only in France not only in Italy not only in England are groups of men going out to study the economic wealth of Africa the industrial wealth of Africa the agricultural and mineral wealth of Africa but even from America men have been sent out by the various foundations to study the possibilities for the benefit of the white race with whom you live by side and in another hundred years if you of the Universal Negro Improvement Association refuse to act, Africa will become the white man's country as America today is the white man's country. The signs of the times pertend no good for this race of ours but by your own effort and by your own action. The papers this morning convey to us the news that in Canada the Government of British Columbia is now introducing a bill in its Legislature to place a ban on the entry of Asiatics into Canada. At this time propaganda is being conducted throughout all Canada declaring that Canada is to be a white man's country and no colored people must be allowed to enter Canada. First it was Australia, then New Zealand, and now Canada has raised the cry America has raised the cry long ago. It means this that the Anglo-Saxon or Caucasian race is laying a plan and foundation whereby they are going to have a white world in a very short time. If yellow men cannot go to Australia, cannot go to Canada, cannot go to America, where are they to go? And if black men sit down and allow white men to go and take Africa, where will they go? That is the thing we have been talking about and preaching about. What do we see about the development of America? In the early days, when America was a vast wilderness, a barred country, and but a few men to Africa and brought men here against their will, because at that time America was a vast country to be developed and they had nobody to develop it. They invited Chinese to come in, but the Chinese refused. Then they went to Africa, and after they had seized Negroes and brought them here and built up a great population of their own, what did they say? They said America is a white man's country, nobody else must come in; because they have developed America to the point where they can be as independent as anybody else, where they can control affairs without the assistance of the Negro, the Chinese, the Japanese or anybody else. America has become so populated with white people that they are independent of anybody else in the development of the country. A few years ago Canada was a vast country, and it was the policy of Canada to invite everybody to come in. Men went to Canada in hundreds and thousands and Canada built up a population of THE NEGRO WORLD. SATURDAY.

Trigger of France and black men will people to the true worth of men who want to be in both else to come here. It is walk beneath their standard I personally have served this race heroically than to be a white man in a country. During as white men walk beneath I the universal Negro improvement. At the time of need they were waiting to defend their government. That way I association. And here is a reason for invite everybody and after they had pay for that day I feel I will succeed this great fight against this agitation on got their wants satisfied they draw the same otherwise I would not threaten to be ruse if it comes to not show the line of excuse. If we sit down here and make no effort to redeem Africa we will find ourselves some day in the Atlantic Ocean or the Pacific Ocean because there will be nowhere for us to go. That is why I light on because I know that some day when I am dead and gone some of my people will be behind and if I make no preparation anywhere they will find no place to lay their head. And that is why I am pleasing with you at this time when the white world is making a desperate effort to control Africa England France Italy and America are endearing to grab everything in Africa, and you are aiming down here folding your arms and paying no attention to the country that gave us birth I am again warning you that whether Marrus Garvey lives or dies, your hope is to redeem the country of your fathers. If you do not redeem Africa, you and your posterity will be lost. We talk about America being our home, we talk about Canada being our home we talk about the British Empire being our home, but it is only for a time. The time is about to change, if it is not changed in the twentieth century it will be changed in the next century, and I am telling you that unborn generations of our race will curse us if we make no effort to save them from the wrath of the future. God is not going to save you. He has done all He possibly could. He has given you a life to live, and if you do not exercise your own will in your own behalf you will be lost. God does not interfere with the temporal nature of life. He does not interfere with the political destiny of races and nations. God is concerned with the spiritual destiny of man and not the political destiny of man. If you do not feed yourselves you will die. God is not going to feed you, you have to feed yourselves. God is not going to provide an opportunity for you, you have to provide it yourselves, those are things you have to do for yourselves if you desire to live a happy and peaceful life. The great statesmen of Europe and America have looked for and worked toward the ascendency of the white race and if you have sense you will look forward to and work for the ascendency of the black race. If you are going to wait for God to come down here and fight your battles you will wait until eternity. God in the affairs of men is on the side of the strongest battalion, the fellow who has sense enough to protect himself—God is with that fellow. If we sit down here and expect God to come down here and fight our battles we are waiting for a long time. If you take my advice you will buckle your armor on and go out physically, mentally, politically, financially, educationally and fight your battles. This great white man who is our neighbor is a smart fellow, and I compliment him for it. Again I repeat that I honor the white man and respect the white man for his mastery of human force, but if you follow this white man he is going to lead you into the pit of hell because that is where he wants you. The devil and God can not rule at the same time; neither can the white and black man rule at the same time and the same thing. You cannot serve two masters; you must serve one or the other. You must make up your minds that you are going to rule he like the white man. He has planned to see to it that it will never happen, and the only alternative left to the Negro peoples of the world is to build up a government of our own. I do not care who tells me to the contrary. I am convinced that the only solution of this great problem is for the Negro to get a government of his own Japan has solved its problem by the development of a greater Japan, so will the Negro solve his problem by the development of a greater Africa. You were born under the same conditions as other men and why should you not want the same things as other men? Why should you not have the same aspirations as other men? Why should not I have the same aspirations as the white boy born in the British Empire or the white boy born in the United States of America? In the creation of man God assigned to every man a part and place in His creation and the Universal Negro Improvement Association is going to contend for that part that is balo-ging to the black man, and if we must die for it we are going to fight the battle. No one shall turn me from this great purpose; no one shall turn me from this great vision—the vision of an African Empire. It can not be realized in a day; it can not be realized in a week; it can not be realized in a month or a year. Some of you expect Africa is to be redeemed in a day. It may not be redeemed in my lifetime, but if we fight long enough some generation of ours will see the dawn of that great day, when the Red, the Black and the Green shall inhabit place alongside the Stars and Stripes of America and the Union Jack of Great Britain and the Trinity of France and black men must walk behind their standard in pride as white men walk behind the standard of their government. That day I pray for that day I feel will be come other who I would not have in a god but I am persuaded to believe in Him because He Himself said. Prince shall come out of Egypt and Ethiopia shall stretch forth her nanda to God. With that much hope I believe firmly in my God that he did not create me to be a man. He did not create me to be a person of a self. He created me to be a man and as a man it falls upon me to crucify me own destiny and find my own purpose among other men and races and matriarch in he world. God has blessed us will power. There is nothing on the world like will if you will to do you will remove mountains. I am calling upon black men to utlize their power and their character. If every black man would make up in his mind that he will do in a half hour we would move the whole universe. Develop the will develop the mind that alone will make you the race that we hope to be. HON. R L PORTON SPEAKS Hon R. L. Poston and I have been thinking this week about those men who died that we might have life and have it more abundantly). I have been thinking this week about Nat Turner, that great Virginian who made a stroke for freedom and though it cost him his death yet an Professor Hair of Harvard stated of this incident that his death shook the very foundation of slavery. I have been thinking also of Denmark Vesey of Charleston B. T. who organizes the New York years ago in that city to make a blow for freedom and who was fired on by a member of his race and he had to pay the penalty of death but so excited they were because of the action of Vesey that they began to legislate to get rid of the free Negro. And I have been thinking too of Baltimore of Houston fame and of Tousaint L'Ouverture of whom we all know. Their Rightful Place in History These men do not have the place on history that they ought to have because it does not just fit in the scheme of things to give credit to men of this make-up. While the white race admire Nathalie Hale and later Emmet Bett because of the great sacrifice they made for human liberty we as a race are taught to admire men because of their cowardice—men who are afraid to strike out for freedom and blaze the way for liberating our race and therefore, the world in its plans find its profitable to hold up before men such as Dr Moton men such as Dr W E B DuBois and the lamented Dr Booker T Washington. As it is done nationally so it is done locally throughout this country. I remember as a boy the men held up before me were not the men that I liked at all. They had money some times, they had learning and influence but they are not the red-blooded men that I wished to make my ideal, and after I had been bored by the Sunday school lesson given me on a Sunday by the leading citizen I stole me away down to the barber's and heard some discredited brother whose logic I loved. The men high up—the man made id is—are not always the men that appeal to your heroic soul, and you know it but because of propaganda that is continually kept up in the country behind certain men you will accept them when you know that at the bottom they are rotten and absolutely no good to this race of ours We must learn to remember men like Nat Turner, we must learn to give them their place in history. As Nat Turner is discredited in this country and has not the place that is due him so Toussaint L'Ouverture discredited in Haytil. You hear of your Dessaline Avenue, you read of the great monument to Dessaline in Haytil, but you do not hear these things about Toussaint L'Ouverture because it does not fit in the plan to give men with this make-up credit for what they did. But it is up to us—the new Negro—to bring the names of these great characters out of the dust and to place them in the hearts of the people; and I think that the Universal Negro Improvement Association could engage in no better work than bringing these characters before the world. Dr. DuBois is a man who believes in martyrdom, but he believes in dying a mental death. Mentally he has died a thousand times for this race of ours; and those of you who have read that book of his, "The Souls of Black Folk," know he has written his obituary a dozen times; but we do not want men that die mentally; we do not want men whose suffering is in the mind; we want that class of red-blooded men who are willing, like Nat Turner and Dessalina, and Sergent Baltimore, and Toussaint L'Ouvverture, to lay down their lives upon the altar in order that the children to come may see the light.

No other agency is doing more to awaken the people to the true worth of men who have served this race heroically than the University Negro Improvement Association. And here is a reason for this great fight against this association on because it threatens to overthrow the system that some men have been profiting by. Dr Moton's Trip to Scotland Dr Moton's Trip to Boottland There is a great discussion going on throughout the country, especially in the colored papers about Dr Moton's trip to Boottland. I was reading only tonight in the Italian Express where they were quoting from the article in The Negro World speaking of the visit of Dr Moton to Boottland. All of these stories that we hear coming from these various sources, an indication that the work of the Universal Negro Improvement Association is having its effect and often soon those men who have been content to serve the master will be forced to get in line or they will be forced into the back seat in the cowardly rush of this race of ours Hon Vernal Williams Speaks Hon. Verbal J. Williams spoke as follows, our coming here again tonight amid scenes like the scenes of enthythmia and loyalty, cannot do otherwise than impress the casual observer with the solid fact that in spite of life in spite of any opposition in spite of any barrier, the people everywhere have undoubtedly gassed hold of the aims and objects of this great association The Injustice of Man One of the mighty tremendous reasons that lend all our strength to the Universal Negro Improvement Association is the injustice of man. The Universal Negro Improvement Association has served its purpose because in serving the purpose it brings before the world more vividly how our man is to man and in bringing before the world in the most vivid manner the injustice of man to man it compels the world to procure a remedy for this injustice. We fight my friends because we are the stern foes of injustice and regardless of what the enemy may do and say, regardless of what our opponents may undertake to do, this fact remains that there is a great battle to be fought that there is a great battle to be fought for the black peoples of the world and --- the Universal Negro Improvement Association in undertaking to light the battle for black men and women the world over must corral must gather must in spite of injustice come victorious because every man behind the movement is a foe of injustice and this battle will be fought till the dominant race will be no longer oppress the races that are beneath them I ask you to think of that great story of Ben Hart the wealthy traveller. After he had left his palace and after he had taken the rugged path throughout the world he came back to his mansion a beggal realizing all the sorrow all the fears all the greeds the underdog had to realize and had to meet in life pathways. And if the Universal Negro Improvement Association does nothing else it has animated that story of Ben Hart. It is bringing many a powerful nation back to the palace of domination. They must realize that the Negro through down sudden though appressed as a human being must derive the same benefit that other nations and other peoples are deriving in the world today. Our biggest trouble is to corral black men and women together to fight the faces of their own number. If we could amass the Negroes of the world together to realize that the main thing we are in liberty and justice and righteousness then our work ceases. Africa is calling for that kind of battle. Africa is calling the soldiers of this new age. Africa the Continent of Misunder standing You'll undoubtedly saw in the paper this morning the report of Prof Thomas Jense of Harvard to the Fulbrush Foundation. He had just returned from an exploration trip to Africa. He said that in the future Africa will be called not the Dark Continent Africa will be called the continent of misunderstanding Africa, he said is the treasure house of the world Prof Jesse has told and is telling the white man what the Universal Negro Improvement Association has been saving since its existence—that Africa is the bank of the world Africa is the treasure house of the world Africa is the storehouse of the world. Africa is the hope and the beacon light of the white world and must be the hope and the beacon light of the black world tomorrow. (Apollinaire) There can be no greater incentive there can be no greater hope for the black man than the fact that if he labors on in this mighty vanguard known by the Universal Negro Improvement Association that same Africa that the white man contends for he will dominate and possess. If the Negro does not contend for Africa and if the Negro does not talk of Africa in terms of independence and liberty then the white man is going to do it and the Negro will be the sufferer for it Attribute to the U. N. I. A. A momentous and the most concise expiration of the aims and objects of this great organization is given in the current issue of the Negro Year Book Prof Worth and in the Negro Year Book that the dominant aim of the Attribute to the U. N. I. A. Universal Negro Improvement Association is affiliated in the slogan Afro for the Africans. That is the pay point that is the shorthand of the organization. Afro for the Africans home and abroad. Will Not Put White Man Out of Afro. We are not yet ought we have nex sight we are never contended an ideal to think we will ever out that the white man as a physical for school to put out of Afro we will contented that the white man as a intellectual will be put out of Afro it because the future of the Negro was in the point at domination Africa. (An answer) Hon F A Toote Speaks Hon F A Toote Speaks The next meeting was Hon F A Toote who said that he secretly elicited the message he be found to the rumors had been told by the spirit of the Loyalist Imperial Assassination and that he proceeded. He exclaimed to members of the New York City to stand firm behind the message in the case out of the program until Mr. A. deemed OVERTHROW OF INJUSTICE Shaped Americans have but desire an all-inclusive movement that parts to bring about a realization of that desire, one over brow upbraise. The matter of that justice to which they are put is making of them a real success. This is true in all parts of and among all the various parts of the entire group. It is fraught with arrogance because acts and actions from other parts of the world we color prejudice is an unknown quantity are taunting these black people with an unanswerable argument about conditions and treachery in America. - H.

THE UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT BARS THE JAPANESE FROM AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP The Supreme Tribunal Declares They Are Not of the Caucasian Race and Are Hence Ineligible—Ozawa, of Honolulu, Says He Belongs to the White Race WASHINGTON Nov 19 — Japanese are not eligible for American citizenship because they are not of the "white" race, according to a decision announced today by the United States Supreme Court in two test cases. Section 2169 of the revised statutes restricts naturalization to free white persons and those of African descent. The Supreme Court held that these restrictions still apply. The subject has been in conroversy for several years on the Pacific Coast. THE INTERNATIONAL OUTLOOK FOR THE NEGRO At the present time the world is in a more or less disturbed state. We sometimes know hardly what will next eventualize. The white races are determined more than ever to keep the Negro in a submissive state—powerful but harmless. Whatever the black man gains will be by his own honest whole hearted efforts Associate Justice Buterland who delivered the decision ruled that as the Japanese are not of the Caucasian race they are specifically barred by the statute, which has never been repealed or modified. His Children Are Citizens The court's verdict on the color of the Japanese was sought on appeal of both cases from lower courts. In one Takao Ozawa of Honolulu based his claim for citizenship on the ground that he belonged to the white race, had lived according to American ideals and customs, and received his education in American schools. His children attend American schools and are citizens. His case first came to the Federal Courts in Hawaii several years ago. His plea was denied and he appealed to the Federal Court of Appeals in California, which sent the case up to the Supreme Court. The other case was that of Takuji Yamaschita and Charles Hio Koko both of the State of Washington, who appealed from a ruling of the secretary of state there, denying them the right to incorporate as a real estate firm. Called Citizenship Illegal The refusal was based on the State of Washington a position that although both Japanese had received naturalization papers they were illegally made citizen. On appeal to the lower Federal courts that position was sustained and the case was appealed. The Federal Circuit Court applied to the Supreme Court for instructions on the eligibility of the Japanese. The Supreme Court's decision today settled the controversy, which is understood to involve several similar cases. DECISION VALIDATES ALL OF CALIFORNIA'S LAND LAWS SAN FRANCISCO. Nov 13 —The fate of all of California's land legislation rested on today's decision of the United States Supreme Court denying naturalization to Japanese. It was said today by Attorney-General U. S. Webb "Had the court decided that Japanese could be naturalized all of our alien land legislation would have fallen, for there is no way in which we could have classified naturalized Japanese under such legislation." Webb said THE JUVENILES OF THE N. Y. LOCAL The Juvenile Corps of the Universal African Legion under the leadership of Captain A L. King made a wonderful showing in Liberty Hall on Sunday night. November 19 It was a most splendid display of young peoples alertness, and one of the largest bodies of young people that has ever been united in the hall. As the boys marched down the aisle with steel helmets, knapsacks strapped on their backs and guns on their shoulders, everyone was reminded of how our boys must have looked marching off to the trenches in France, and how they will look marching off to their own country's defense some day. The Juveniles and their officers desire to thank their friends for their encouragement and interest at all times. THE INTERNATIONAL OUTLOOK FOR THE NEGRO At the present time the world is in a more or less disturbed state. We sometimes know hardly what will next eventualize. The white races are determined more than ever to keep the Negro in a submissive state—powerful but harmless. Whatever the black man gains will be b) his own honest whole hearted efforts. The situation in Asia Mine is a very serious War will no doubt be the outcome and John Bull will need more cannon fodder. Will the Negro evolve into that? We firmly and assuredly believe not. It is entirely up to him to make the decision. the diplomatic moves of all European countries hinge on the acute and smouldering Turkish flame. The Negro has the best chance of his career if he adheres strictly to the doctrine of the U N I A This or organization is better fitted to cope with things international as far as the Negro race is concerned because it is only through recognition and organized power can we aspire to the heights of world recognition. Therefore, let us resolve as true-born sons of Africa to support the cause of African redemption as indored in the program of the U N I A. HERMAN A. MCKENZIE. DR. WIRTH FEARS SOVIETIZED EUROPE By KARL A. BICKEL General Manager of the United Press BERLIN, Nov 17.—"America must call a world econ mil conference. It is her duty." Dr Joseph Wirth, former Chancellor of Germany, declared in an interview today, his first since the fall of his government Able to discuss frankly the situation within and without Germany, unhampered by diplomatic reticence which prevented many utterances during his nineteen months at the helm of German affairs, Wirth's first thought was for the need of American intervention as arbitrer in European affairs. The United States, he declared, must take a decisive role in reparations settlement by naming official delegates to the commission. It must be bump for Europe. Unless America does this, Dr Wirth foresees, utter ruin and Boishevism throughout Europe. For himself, he said he was determined to carry on, playing a part in the Reichstag somewhat similar to that of Lloyd George in the British Parliament. Wirth is now a deputy. He pointed out that the United States through Woodrow Wilson, was pledged to the "fourteen points" adding "but it now appears that nobody in America is willing to carry out these principles." "Who is to settle the European problem which now has become a world problem—not politicians, not Premier Poincaré," Wirth continued. "America must take a hand as soon as possible and must call a conference which will deal with the problem from an economic viewpoint." "America now has two gentlemen—they are very fine gentlemen, too on the Reparations Commission, but why doesn't America have official representatives? America must have official representatives so she can play the decisive role—so she can be a sort of arbitrator—an umpire." NEW PARTY CONVENTION UNDER WAY The following interview was given out today by the Committee of 48 from its national headquarters, 15 East 40th street, through its executive chairman, Mr. J. A. H. Hopkins, who has been singularly accurate in his pre-election forecasts. Mr. Hopkins said: The outstanding features of the election returns are the triumph of economic progressivism, and the fact that the American public disregarded party labels and voted for men and measures. "As a result the new party movement was established as a political entity in Delaware and Pennsylvania, and displaced the Democratic party as a major party in Minnesota, Idaho and South Dakota, where the new party now occupies either first or second place. In Wisconsin, the Democratic party lost its identity altogether. On the other hand, the Republican party, like the Democratic party in 1930, was emphatically repudiated, and its most prominent leaders in the Senate and the House were dissectously defeated. These are the significant facts which constitute the handwriting on the wall. The election of Democratic candidates in some States was due to the lack of progressive organization in these States, and does not, in any way, indicate a revival of confidence in the Democratic party. This is borne out by an analysis of the returns. "Brookhart in Iowa, Shipstead in Minnesota, LaFollette in Wisconsin, Wheeler in Montana, Howell and Bryan in Nebraska, Fraser and Sindair in North Dakota, and Walton in Oklahoma, were elected, not because they were Republicans or Democrats, but because they were opposed to praec THE NEGRO WORLD. SATURDAY. NOVEMBER 25, 1922 Prominent Washington Matrons and Misses to Serve as Patronesses for Two Social Affairs for Benefit of Howard's Department of Physical Education tically everything for which the Democratic and Republican parties stand. These man stood for the abolition of special privilege, the public ownership of our transportation system, the public control of our natural resources, equal economic, legal and political rights, and the preservation of all civil rights guaranteed by the Constitution. This is the platform of the Committee of 48 adopted at its National Convention in December, 1819. These are the paramount issues upon which the Progressive forces of the country will unite in 1823 and 1824. Beaveridge went down in defeat in Indiana because, after defeating Harry B. New, the Harding Senatorial mouthpiece, in the primaries, he turned around and joined with the Harding reactionaries in the election DuPont of Delaware Mondell of Wromming the Republican floor leader in the House Volstead of Minnesota, the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, Miller, of New York Townsend, of Michigan, Frelinghuysen of New Jersey, Butherland, of West Virginia, and Culbertson, of Texas, were all discarded because they represented special privilege while Lodge only won by a hair orbread in Massachusetts and the recount may yet reverse this result. The new Senate and House will include many members who, irrespective of party labels, stand squared for the Progressive principles of the Committee of 48. They have nothing in common with either the purposes or the political beliefs of the Republican and Democratic parties. They represent a cohesive force bound together, not by party labels, but by principles. They represent the nucleus of the new party movement, which in 1924 will contest the election with the reactionary stand-patters of the Republican-Democratic party. In the 1922 election the voters of the country have demanded a new political alignment. This alignment must follow the principles which they have endorsed. "Their verdict comes as a elimination and endorsement of the preparatory work which the Committee of 48 has been carrying on during the last four years, and its plans are already under way for the National Convention at which the new party will be formally launched preparatory to the 1922-24 campaign." FRANK A. PATTISON, Chairman National Bureau Information and Education. November 16, 1922 WASHINGTON, D C -The Department of Physical Education of the Howard University has mailed to its friends throughout the country invitations requesting their presence at the two social affairs to be given at the Coliseum. Ninth street and Pennsylvania avenue, the afternoon and evening of Thanksgiving Day, November 30, 1922. Both of these affairs are for the benefit of the Department of Physical Education of Howard University. The admission for the matinee affair will be fifty cents, and for the evening assembly and reception, seventy-five cents Two committees of patronesses, composed of the wives of the officers and professors of the university, and of the leading graduates living in the city of Washington, have been formed, with Miss Lucy D Slowe, dean of women, as chairman of the evening assembly and reception, and Miss G.

Africa Not a "Dark Continent," But One of "Great Misunderstandings' NEW YORK, Nov 20. - Africa should be referred to as the "Continent of Great Misunderstandings," rather than the "Dark Continent" and its vast potential strength in raw materials and in the development of its native peoples should be stressed instead of emphasising the jungle savagery such as the theme of a report made by an international commission after an intensive study of American hygienic economic social and religious conditions. The report has been published by the Phelps Stokes Fund. The commission composed of experts in educational and missionary fields spent ten months in Africa during the fall of 1920 and the following winter traveling more than 25,000 miles through West South and equatorial Africa. Boards of schools and mission stations supported by churches of America and Europe were visited. Colonial officials and European traders were consulted and native chiefs interviewed. The personnel of the commission included Dr Thomas Jesse Jones, chairman, writer of the official report, director of education of the Phelps-Stokes' Fund and author of Negro Schools in the United States. James Emman Kwegy r Aggrey, a member of the Fani tribe of the Gold Coast who is a professor in Livingstone College North Carolina, Dr Henry Stanley Hollenbeck of Wislocanin, who for twelve years has been a medical missionary of the American Board in Angola, Mr and Mrs. Arthur W Wilkie of Scotland, missionaries of the United Free Church of Scotland appointed by the Conference of Missionary Societies of Great Britain and Ireland to represent the British societies, and the Rev John T Tucker of the Candian Congregational Board in Angola. Leo A Roy of New York, an expert in industrial education, served as secretary Besides the backing of the various missionary societies, the commission was accorded the hearty co-operation of government officials.

In addition to the co-operation which is being given by this important group of patronesses, various social organizations and individuals are lending every assistance possible to make an outstanding success of these two social affairs. Messrs. E. Gaylord Howell and C. Herbert Marshall, two of the most popular students of Howard, have volunteered their services to make the events equally as important and representative as the now much-derated annual athletic event. The checking privileges at the College for the two social affairs have been given to the student branch T. W. C. A. and Y. M. C. A. organizations of Howard University, the T. W. C. A. having charge in the afternoon and the Y. M. C. A. in the evening. Cooperation is also being received from the ladies of the Order of the Western Star of the Mascalcic fraternity, who have been granted the concession to serve confraternities. mission every courtey and gave them a cordial welcome. The report says "Of the many misconceptions that still tend to limit the investment of capital in African industry and agriculture to hamper the efforts of Colonial governments and discourage the support of missions there are four of such importance as to require consideration in any effort to evaluate the educational possibilities. They are Misunderstandings as to wealth of resources and natural scenery, the healthfulness of the continent and promising possibilities of sanitary improvement the improbability of the African peoples, and European and American influence." Dr Jones points out in the report that the immense and varied physical resources of Africa are practically unknown to the civilized world, largely because the researches so far have been made for private and governmental use and the results have not been published and that there is sufficient evidence of potential wealth to convince the most akeptical that Africa is the undeveloped treasure house of the world. The diamond fields of Kimberley, the gold ridge of Johannesburg, the coal矿es of Rhodesia, the Katanga copper plateau of Belgium Congo and the oil areas of Angola are cited as specific instances of the country's richness in natural resources. The report continues "Africa's reputation for unhealthfulness was the result of the tragic experience of those who entered the continent without knowledge of the conditions or indifferent to the hardships always attending the entrance of pioneers into a new country. A fair comparison of Africa with other parts of the world will undoubtedly show that Africa will respond to modern methods of sanitation and hygiene in exactly the same way as other continents of similar mastic, economic and social conditions." Betting forth that the most unfortunate and unfair of all misunderstandings is that the African people do not give promise of development sufficient to warrant efforts in their behalf, the report says. "The improvability of the African people is clearly shown by their response to the efforts of missions, governments and commercial organizations. There are physicians, lawyers and ministers who have completed the requirements of European universities. While the number is small it is sufficient to prove the capacity of the people. The critical tasks of government industry and commerce are largely entrusted to young African men. The mechanical operations on railroads and in construction are more and more being taken over by African workmen. Every mission gives emphatic testimony to the value of the native teachers and ministers." The importance of a comprehensive educational system is emphasized, and Dr. Jones recommends that equal opportunities be provided for the teaching of both boys and girls. His plan also calls for the development of colleges and professional schools for the training of the native leaders without whom Dr Jones says the general wolfage of Africa cannot be advanced. High praise is given missionaries. "Through their devotion to the people, their efforts in behalf of education and their emphasis on morals and morals they have made the most fundamental contribution of all," says the report. The idea of making a comprehensive study of Africa originated with the Protestant Missionary Boards of North America, which enlisted the co-operation of representative British missionary societies, the Phelps-Stokes Fund and the colonial offices of Great Britain, France and Belgium.

Ga., Nov 14. (Special to the Negro World)—That there has been a surprising increase of antilynching sentiment in Georgia recently and a growing determination on the part of Georgia people that the sanctity of the law must be upheld, was clearly indicated in reports made to the State Committee on Race Relations in its recent semi-annual meeting in this city. It was pointed out that during the present year twenty-two indictments have been returned against alleged lynchers and four convictions secured, carrying penitent arrestees. Fifteen of these cases are still to be tried, most of them on the charge of murder, besides a number of damage suits growing out of injuries and losses inflicted by mobs. In one lynching case both the deputy sheriff and the chief of police are under indictment. The significance of these facts was emphasized by the statement that in the thirty-seven years ending with 1921 there had been 420 lynchings in Georgia and that record of only one indictment in all that time had been found. The State and County Race Relations Committees have been active in a number of recent cases, concluding investigations, securing evidence and otherwise supporting local officials in their efforts to vindicate the law. The need of an effective anti-lynching law in the State was stressed and the responsibility for drafting and getting such a bill before the next Legislature was delegated to a committee of eminent jurists, headed by Judge Samuel B. Adams of Savannah. DO NOT NEGLECT THE BRAITH Shorthand and Prepares men and women for but whose elementary education has been their education.

APARTIAL report of the International Commission for the Study of African Conditions Under Phelps-Stokes Fund appeared on the editorial page of the New York Sun on Saturday, November 18. The headlines of the article give one some idea of the contents. The headings, "Darkest Africa' Mismomer—Natives Responding Quickly to Beneficial Changes Introduced by European Nations—Now Active in Professional and Commercial Life," indicate that this report is not characterized by the pessimism, cynicism and patronizing condescension which usually characterize studies of the African and his descendants in the Western Hemisphere. Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones, the moving spirit in the commission, seems more sympathetic, seems to have penetrated more into the heart of the matter and seems to be more permeated by the humane spirit of the Stokes family, which has given to the world such philanthropists as the late Mrs. Anson Phelps-Stokes, the late Miss Caroline Phelps-Stokes, the late Miss Olivia Phelps-Stokes, Mr. J. G Phelps-Stokes and Rev. Anson Phelps-Stokes, than when he made his study of Negro institutions of learning. His criticism of the latter was true, but lacked sympathy because he did not understand the difficulties under which they labored. It was fortunate that he was accompanied by Prof. K. Aggrey, a native African whose Western culture has not chilled the warmth of his heart. We will reprint the full report in The Negro World next week. We desire to call special attention to these two paragraphs: "Africans occupy positions of importance in every colony visited. There are physicians, lawyers and ministers who have completed the requirements of European universities. While the number is small, it is sufficient to prove the capacity of the people. The clerical tasks of government, industry and commerce are very largely entrusted to young African men. The mechanical operations on railroads and in construction are more and more being taken over by African workmen. Every mission gives emphatic testimony to the value of the native teachers and ministers. In view of the inadequacy and lack of adaptation of educational facilities in Africa, it is greatly to the credit of the native African that he has been able to achieve the success observed in every colony. "Nor are the possibilities of the African to be judged only by those who have entered the ranks of civilization, whether in Africa, Europe or America. An adequate study of the tribal customs and capacities of those who are still in barbaric and primitive stages will more and more reveal the fact that the present condition of the masses of the African people is normal and comparable with the other peoples at the same stage of development. Their folk lore, their handicrafts, their native music, their forms of government, their linguistic powers, all are substantial evidences of their capacity to respond to the wise approaches of civilization so that they may share in the development of the African continent." The Negro Renaissance We appreciate these hopeful words regarding the African and his possibilities. This memorable report is published in the year 1922, and will be referred to in years to come. But we desire to remind our readers that Blyden's "Christianity, Islam and the Negro" and Crummell's "Africa and America," published around 1890, called attention to some of these facts; that "The African Abroad," a two-volume work, called attention to these facts in 1913, and that "The African Times and Orient Review," a magazine, and "The Negro Society for Historical Research" called attention to these facts in 1912. When the author of "The African Abroad" began to lecture on Negro history in 1905, and when Sir John R. Bruce and Mr. Arthur A. Schomburg began to collect literature regarding Africa, and to discuss things Afric, few persons took them seriously. But the results of present investigation show that they did not labor in vain. Mr. Daniel Murray, assistant librarian of the Congressional Library of Washington, D. C., and Prof. John Wealay Cromwell, president emeritus of the American Negro Academy, who for over a dozen of years served it as corresponding secretary, must also be numbered among the pioneers in opening up Negro history. And when the African of the distant past, of the Middle Ages and of the past, is accorded his true status by Caucasian scholars, every person would be remember that it was black men who first established these truths about the Ethiopians, their descendance, and their racially allied to them. This is one field of scholar-commentators black men were pioneers. All honor to those Caucasians who have been representatives who with means at their command have made the past stories of Ethiopia and studying the African people. But when truth gets a hearing, the lure wreaths will be placed upon the brows of those audacious black men who first dared to proclaim that the Negro was a man, had accomplished something in the past and was capable of accomplishing something in the present and future. There is a new Renaissance, the revival of the study of Negro history. And we desire our readers to remember that this Renaissance does not date from the publishing of the Journal of Negro History by Prof Carter Woodson in 1915, valuable and scholarly as that journal is. But this Renaissance dates from the founding of the American Negro Academy by Dr Alexander Crummell in 1897, and from the founding of the Negro Society for Historical Research around 1905. So much that the Negro has accomplished in Africa, Europe and America has been overlooked by the world at large that we desire his receiving full credit for inaugurating the new Renaissance and for calling the attention of the scholars of the world to the black man's achievements. THE NEW NEGRO EDUCATION day before Thanksgiving day and on Thanksgiving dollars and social leaders of the Negro race with Washington, D.C., to witness the annual football game Howard universities. This is the Negro football game same attention in the Negro world as the face and Harvard does in the Caucasian world. Annual football games between Lincoln, Howard and other universities call attention to the cultural colleges and universities in the life and thought of America. Those Negro students who desire special or advanced to the big white universities, 95 percent of the who get an education get it in a Negro college, once of the Negro college. Now, the ideal Negro which would not only inculcate racial self-respect Negro student and acquaint him with the culture, but also equip him to be a citizen of the Negro teacher, preacher, editor, lawyer, physician, nurse, carpenter, engineer, electrician, reality play and keep pace with the latest developments in the professions, else they cannot stand competence will lag behind in the race of life. Fear has been University become industrialized. It won't hurt industrially and commercially provided it all intellectual and scientific progress of the century. This has arisen as to what type of man is needed a Negro school or college. Some say that the students who possess executive and administrative ability.

And the Negro college president of the future, must vital touch with the rich and varied aspects, he will be circling in eddies while the world is Negro demands for a leader the man who knows On the day before Thanksgiving day and on Thanksgiving day the scholars and social leaders of the Negro race will assemble in Washington, D.C., to witness the annual football match between Lincoln and Howard universities. This is the Negro football classic, and attracts the same attention in the Negro world as the football match between Yale and Harvard does in the Caucasian world. These annual football games between Lincoln, Howard, Hampton, Wilberforce and other universities call attention to the cultural influence of Negro colleges and universities in the life and thought of the colored people of America. While those Negro students who desire special or advanced training naturally go to the big white universities, 95 per cent of the colored men and women who get an education get it in a Negro college. This shows the importance of the Negro college. Now, the ideal Negro college should begin which would not only inculcate racial self-respect and racial pride in the Negro student and acquaint him with the cultural achievements of his race, but also equip him to be a citizen of the modern world. The Negro teacher, preacher, editor, lawyer, physician, dentist, pharmacist, farmer, carpenter, engineer, electrician, reality promoter, and banker should keep pace with the latest developments in their respective callings and professions, else they cannot stand competition with the Caucasian and will lag behind in the race of life. Fear has been expressed best Howard University become industrialized. It won't hurt the institution to expand industrially and commercially provided it also keeps step with the intellectual and scientific progress of the century. Discussion has arisen as to what type of man is needed for the presidency of a Negro school or college. Some say that the great need is Negro presidents who possess executive and administrative ability. This is quite true. But the Negro university president should also have a firm grasp upon educational problems and in insight into modern life. Without a mind that knows to guide and direct the will to do, a man will be as helpless as a ship going at full speed with no pilot or rudder. The ship captain or railroad president needs executive and administrative ability, but he also needs knowledge of navigation and of railroading Dr. Hadley and Dr. Angell, presidents of Yale, Dr Ehot and Dr Lowell, presidents of Harvard; Dr. Wilson and Dr. Hibben, presidents of Princeton; Dr. White and Dr. Schurman, presidents of Cornell, and Dr. Butler, president of Columbia University, all possessed in some degree executive and administrative ability. But they also won some reputation as teachers, scholars and writers before they were called to the presidency. Take President Emeritus Charles W. Eliot of Harvard, America's greatest educator. He possessed a commanding personality and executive and administrative ability of a high order. But he was also a remarkably well-informed man, who studied life and the relation of education to life. He introduced the elective system in the college, the case method of studying law, revolutionized the medical school, broadened the scope of the divinity school and developed the graduate school. It was in the practical application of new and advanced knowledge that he reigned supreme. The curriculum has been changed in Yale and Harvard during the past twenty years to keep in touch with modern progress. The pragmatism of Bergson, James and Dewey has supplanted the idealism of Lotze, Ladd and Reyce. The electron theory has supplanted the atomic theory, and Einstein's relativity has been added to the mathematical courses. The ethnological views of Sergi, Ripley, Keane and Boas have supplanted the study of Peschel and Tyler. The study of Bolshevism, Socialism and the Labor Party in England occupy the place that Spencer's "Principles of Sociology" once occupied. Psychology and economics are now studied in their international aspects. The comparative study of literature and religion are now emphasized. Photography as well as the telescope have been employed in studying the stars. The microscope has been utilized in biology, blood tests in medicine and the X-ray in both medicine and dentistry. The world has been flooded with a wealth of new ideas in science, psychology, politics, sociology, ethnology, theology, philosophy, literature, art, music, medicine, dentistry, engineering, architecture, bridge-building and commerce during the past twenty-two years. And the Negro leader of the future, one Negro college president of the future, must necessarily be a man in vital touch with the rich and varied aspects of modern thought, else he will be circling in eddies while the world is moving on. The New Negro demands for a leader the man who knows THE NEW NEGRO SPIRIT Saturday night the Philadelphia Division of Negro Improvement Association, under the A Lionel Francis, packed the Salem Baptist Honorable Marcus Garvey, and although each when the collection was lifted the amount it was larger than the average Sunday collection to churches of the city. Sunday morning Bishop William Sampson Bri A. M. E. Chapel $242 for Monrovia College Training School in Monrovia, Liberia. He race in Bethel A. M. E. Church, New York LAST Saturday night the Philadelphia Division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, under the leadership of Dr. Lionel Francis, packed the Salem Baptist Church to hear the Rt. Honorable Marcus Garvey, and although each one paid admission, when the collection was lifted the amount that was quickly given was larger than the average Sunday collection in the largest Negro churches of the city. Last Sunday morning Bishop William Sampson Brooks raised in the Allen A. M. E. Chapel $242 for Monrovia College and the Industrial Training School in Monrovia, Liberia. He raised at one Sunday service in Bethel A. M. E. Church, New York, last June, $1,200. In St. Louis, Mo., one man gave his check for $1,000, and he was not the richest Negro in St. Louis, Mo., either. In toto Bishop Books raised over $50,000 for educational work in Liberia among American Negroes during the past six months. It is something new in Negro history to see black men and women diving down in their pockets and drawing forth the green-back to launch Negro enterprises. It is something new in Negro history to see black men and women who are for the most part by no means wealthy making financial sacrifices to help educate their brothers and sisters across the sea. And we must remember that the Universal Negro Improvement Association first awakened the racial consciousness of the sons and daughters of Ethiopia, first taught the dusky sons of Ham to give and to give freely to ameliorate his own condition and that of his kith and kin in other parts of the world. Pre-eminent among Negro organizations, the U. N. I. A. first answered the questions, "Am I my brother's keeper?" and "Who is my neighbor?" The initial impulse that the U. N. I. A. has given to Negro endeavor throughout the world has not spent its force and is but beginning to make itself felt. WHAT THE SENSIBLE AND FAR SEEING WHITE MAN THINKS Africa Hope of Europe, Travel Lecturer Says—Resources Will Attract Hundreds of Thousands of Immigrants, He Believes After 11 000 years the continent where civilization began is only now being opened for the first time to civilization, as the latter is modernly understood, and it appears. If not the world's chief hope, at least that for the war-wrecked peoples of Europe Such was a view of Africa given yesterday by E M Newman, traveler, in an interview at the Hotel Commodore Mr Newman arrived in New York recently from an African tour and has been lecturing since in Carnegie Hall I believe that the development of Africa, which is the world's richest storehouse, will attract European immigrants by the hundreds of thousands in the near future he said.

During the time of readjustment the malicious and wicked wackles that have been fighting the Universal Negro Improvement Association for the last two years seized the opportunity of publishing broadcast the falsehood that the paper was permanently suspended, which report has caused a great deal of annoyance through the many inquiries that have been made as to its truthfulness. The Daily Negro Times is to fill a great gap in Negro journalism. Unfortunately, we cannot recommend the colored press for its honesty and truthfulness in racial and public matters. The average colored newspaperman will sell his best friend in exchange for the dollar. He has absolutely no principle nor policy, and that accounts for the many vicious attacks that have been made upon the Universal Negro Improvement Association and its allied interests.

This the "World" established, and as a result of leaflets handed out in the church two reporters sat through a Klan recruiting meeting presided over by a Klanman in full regalia. It was held in an undertaking ship. Klan activities in the church have been ascribed by those who have come in contact with them to the inspiration of the Rev. Oscar Haywood, general evangelist of the church. He has been for the last month on a fresh air farm he established in Mount Glisad, N. C. The "World" sent an inquiry to him there and in response received from him the following telegram: "Didn't Know." Save Straten "It is true I am interested and actively engaged in the work of propagating the Klu Klu Klan in New York city.

'In the movement dangerous?' the deputy was asked Not now, but eventually, he replied, "It is important that C D B King, the Liberian President, is opposed to Garveyism." M Diagne, himself a Negro, beloves most Americans are eager to see Garvey succeed and take the surplus Negro population out of the country. He says the United States Negro population has risen from 4,000 000 in 1865 to 15,000 000 now. cent. of the colored newspapers have been subsidized to keep up the malicious and wicked propaganda against the most progressive Negro movement of the 20th century. The Daily Negro Times will be used for the purpose of honestly defending the rights of the race as well as of educating our people to the higher standards of our civilization. Unfortunately the Negro journalist stepped into the most important profession in the moulding of public sentiment, and in the education of the human race, like the ante-bellum Negro preacher who started to save souls and prench religion without being able to conjugate a verb, or to read intelligently a passage of the Holy Scriptures, hence, they have absolutely no regard for the ethics of the profession. They care nothing about principles or policies, and that is why the opinion of the average Negro newspaper can be bought at any price, from 50 cents up. The Daily Negro Times will always maintain the policy as enunciated in our first issue, and now that we again make our appearance our friends and well-wishers as well as the public at large, will expect us to "hew to the line." INVADES WELL ORK BAPTIST CHURCH Mary Baptist Church, the Rev. s He Is Organizer—Dr. Straw wledge—Edward C. Miller, Says He Was Invited to Join The Ku Klux Klan will be the loyal ally of every Protestant church, every patriotic society, every home in New York city. In those sections where the Protestant churches have died it will spring up and live. It is the most dauntless organization known to men. Before the service yesterday morning Dr Straton was asked if he knew Klan recruiting had been going on inside his church. "I know of no such thing." he said. "If any such propaganda has been going on it has been without my knowledge or consent. I am unalterably opposed to the Ku Klux Klan." Dr. Straton was then told of the telegram to the "World" from the Rev. Dr Haywood, his chief evangelist. He read it carefully and then remarked: "He cannot come in here and do anything of that sort. There is nothing in that movement which has had my sympathy or can enlist my support. There is no place in America for the man in the mask. He cannot be anything except a menace. Abuses and excesses would be certain to follow his success." EDUCATION WEEK FIXED BY HARDING WASHINGTON. Nov. 19—President Harding today issued a proclamation designating December 3 to 9 as "American Education Week." He recommended that national, State and local authorities assist in making the observance beneficial. "It is gratifying to know." said the proclamation. "that in a time when public burdens have lain very heavy upon the people there has been everywhere a determined purpose to maintain education unim; aired, in order that the coming generation may be equipped, regardless of sacrifice in the present, for the increasing responsibilities which it must bear. "Without vision the people parish' Without education there is little vision Of education it may be said that it is twice bleest. It blesseth him that gives and him that takes'. It will be greatly worth the effort if, as an incident to the observance of Education Week, we can impress this thought upon the young manhood and womanhood of the nation and redirect their interest and patriotic zeal to the idea of making a proper contribution to their educational work It is regrettable that so few young men and women, equipped for such service are nowadays disposed to give their time and talents to teaching, Education needs their youth, ognericas, zeal and enthusiasm. There is no school of discipline more effective than that in which the teacher goes to school. We could do no greater service than by convincing those young men and women who have enjoyed educational opportunities that they own a reasonable share of their time and energies to teaching. The strength and security of the nation will always rest in the intelligent body of its people. Our education should implant conceptions of public duty and private obligation broad enough to envisage the problems of a greatly distraught world. More than anything else men and women need the capacity to see with clear eye and to contemplate with open, unprejudiced mind the issues of these times. He would only split up our people intoligated irresponsible cliques, disruc- national spirit and threaten American freedom and independence." Deacon Not So Firm The attitude of Edward C Miller head deacon and trustee of the church, was less firm than that of Dr Straton. I have been invited to join the Klan but I have not done so." Mr. Miller said when apprised of what The World had learned "I understand, however it is 100 per cent. American." Asked if he had been invited to join by any one in Calvary Baptist Church he said he had not. Mr Miller, who is president of the Magnolia Metals Corp; any at 15 Band street, is chairman of the Districting Organization of Calvary Baptist Church, and chairman of the Evangelical Protestant Society, formed last April to "keep the hands of the Pope off America. As to that society, he said it was 'still going'. The leaflets handed out along with church calendars and religious pamphlets after services are three by five inches and are headed, 'The Ku Klux Klan.' They read A 100 per cent American-Protestant organization has come to stay. More than 1,500 Klans in the U.S. are taxed to their utmost initiating the vast multitude who are aware of the necessity for such an organization The Klan's "Platform" "Although greatly misrepresented the Ku Klux Klan undoubtedly stands for truly American ideals, free public schools, free speech free press, separation of church and State, liberty and just laws. "Absolute secrecy is maintained in regard to membership for obvious reasons, you are surrounded by them but can you find one? "Home opinion-owned newspapers, through lack of knowledge, have made misleading statements regarding it. For the justice of our cause we advice that every American-born Protestant should make hause to know the truth by attending one of the open meetings held in New York city to prove to inquirers the serious nature and integrity of the order." The Rev. Dr. Haywood is a Southern minister who was for several years pastor of the Collegiate Baptist Church of the Covenant in West Thirty-third street, near Ninth avenue. While there he engaged in political discussions and frequently stepped into the limelight. He preached many sermons that caused controversial discussion and was regarded as a sermonizer against great wealth. He has also been pastor of a church in Waterbury, Conn. Woman Pled to His Farm Last January, after Mrs. Audrey Buil of Ridgewood, N. J., wife of A. H. Bull, paying teller of the Harriman National Bank, disappeared with her seventy-year-old daughter, she was found on the Rev. Dr Haywood's fresh air farm in Mount Gilead. He had been her pastor at the Collegiate Baptist Church of the Covenant, and she appeared at his farm after wandering for twenty-three days. When the Evangelical Protestant Society was formed and Mr. Miller was made chair man and Dr. Stratton listed as a charter member, the organization was looked upon by many as an outgrowth of Calvary Baptist Church, although other ministers were charter members, among them the Rev. James Burrell of Marble Collegiate Church and the Rev. Frank M. Goodchild of Central Baptist Church. Headquarter were opened at No. 113 Fulton street, New York, World. BRUCE GRIT'S COLUMN PUTTING ON THE WHOLE ARMOR OF CHRIST When a man enlist in the army and is placed on the firing line, he is armed with all the implements required by a fighting man in battle. His chief weapon is his rifle, neat, his ammunition. These he must know how to use when ordered to do so by his commanding officer. He cannot of his own volition attack the enemy in battle. He must always wait for orders and he must execute them according to orders. This is discipline and every soldier in the army is expected and required to respect and obey it, for if he does not he will be court-martialled and shot in putting on the armor of his country he becomes for the time being a part of the great war machine and must function according to the will of the engineer who operates the machine, for, if he gets out of order or fails to function properly a hitch is thus created and the machine is thrown out of plumber or stops. The "go as you please" clergymen have not put on the whole armor of Christ and this is shown by the fact that they do not always function properly. They are not always in order. They belong to a type of men who insist on putting their own interpretation upon general orders. They refuse to put on the "whole armor" believing it not necessary to do so and that the are sufficient unto themselves and can accomplish the work of good soldiers without obeying: orders. Now, the men who have not put on the whole armor are those who set up missions among the people independent of the authority of the church proper, who have failed to measure up intellectually to the standard of well trained soldiers of the Cross of Christ, who writhe under discipline and scoff at authority and who preach an ignorant gospel Pitting on the whole armor of Christ mea completeness—thoroughness in mental and spiritual power and equipment It means understanding and knowledge on the part of the wearer of this armor of the work he is called upon to do. An untrained, inexperienced general, or one calling himself a general, would never be given command of an army, for he would not know how to plan or direct a battle. It would be a clear case of the blind leading the blind Privates in the ranks are trained to fight, generals are trained to plan battles and direct armies how to win them. The superior knowledge of the general in military tactics instills confidence in the fighting man and thus great victories are sometimes won because of superior leadership. The Negro race today needs superior leaders in order to win victories, whether in church or in state. It needs leaders who have been disciplined in the school of experience and who know the ground whereon they stand. The Jackleg evangelists and self-styled clergymen of whom we have too many, have not put on the whole armor of Christ, for if they had they would be preaching to thousands instead of dosens or less, because they have no message for the people that is worth while. Here in the city of New York are more missions than there are people to attend them and the few who do attend them learn nothing, for how can one learn unless some one capable of imparting knowledge teaches him? What can these peripatetic, half-baked, self-willed purveyors of a distorted gospel teach men who would know the truth? Absolutely nothing! Jesus Christ was a teacher. The Sermon on the Mount proves it His wise, philosophical, logical and compelling utterances on other occasions show Him so have been the master mind of the period in which he wrought Some of His modern disciples so-called, claiming to have on His armor, are more dressed in rags COOKING AS A LOST ART Last week I adverted in these columns to the American style of cooking as almost a lost art, and deplored the fact that most of us who can afford it are doing our principal eating in French. When we put on style by attending banquets and select dinners and are unable to tell what we ate at these affairs because of the outlandish names of the things, we swallow on faith, that appear on the menu cards. I observe in the New York Herald of November 10 that the National Organization of American Caterers recently met in Chicago and decided to make menus 100 per cent. American This means that "grub" hereafter will be called by its proper name Good for the American caterers' association, better for the American eater, who may have for years been eating stewed cat under a foreign patronymic and relishing it as a delicacy. THE RECENT ELECTION The recent election having given the Republicans a few things to think about, there is now talk of reorganizing the party and revamping its policies as so to bring it a little nearer the people who have a habit of changing leaders and parties when they forget the sources of their origin—the units without whom there would be neither leaders nor parties. The Republican party of late years has been getting farther and farther away from its Negro supporters than ever before and the apathy of those who dominate party policies has become so noticeable to observant Negroes as to cause resentful comment. The latter-day white Republican leader, men of the caliber of the late lamented Calder, who lost 18,000 copd dollars trying to have himself re-elected Senator, has an aversion to the appointment or election of Negroes to positions of command under a Republican administration and when one is nominated to a position above the ordinary they do hesitate to employ all the arts the tricky politicians they are to give him out of the place and prom- see him something equally as good, which promise is never kept. As is true in one particular instance where the Senator and several of his accomplices in Machiavellian politics, despite the fact that a Negro applicant for an important Federal office, possessing the highest indorsements of Republicans of standing, and business men of great influence and power and financiers with every confidence in his ability and knowledge of the routine work of the office he sought, was forced to withdraw upon the filmy pretext that the business of the office had expanded since the war and required a white man to administer it. And a mediocre white politician who had scarcely been heard of before was appointed—Warren Gamaliel—consenting to the scheme and promising to create in Harlem an office for the Negro which was to be just as good as the one he had formerly held and again sought to occupy because he had done good work in the campaign which culminated in the election of Harding and the senator in question. Both of the gentlemen had no objection in the last general election to Negro voice and the latter in the recent State election made a most attentive effort to corral the entire Negro Republian contingent, promising in return for his service to push the Dyer anti-lynching bill at the extra session of Congress. FAMINE IN POPULATION GUESE EAST AFRICA NEW YORK, Nov. 20.—A story of famine that threatens the lives of at least 1,500,000 natives in Inhambane, Portuguese East Africa, was brought to the New York office of the Board of Foreign Missions of the Methodist Episcopal Church today by the Rev. J. D. Pointer of Wilmore, Ky. who is just returning on furough from missionary service in that country. Rev. and Mrs. Pointer have spent ten years in Inhambane and are now to have a year's rest in Wilmore, Ky. Mr. Pointer was formerly a pastor in Louisiana. According to Mr. Pointer, the famine area extends about 300 miles north and south and about 100 miles inland from the coast. About 1,500,000 people live there, of whom some 6,000 are Christians. The 1922 harvest, which usually comes in March or April, was a total loss because of lack of rain. Most of the lakes have dried up and there is practically no irrigation. Corn and peanuts are the main crops, though the tapiace plant and sweet potatoes are also raised. None of these articles has been grown throughout the territory since March, 1921, and since the natives have no money, they have been unable to avail themselves of supplies comin- by boat from the Tranvaal. Even this grain has been held at the prohibitive price of $2 per bushel. As a result large numbers of people have been dying since last April. The number will run into many thousands before the harvest of April. 1922, says Mr Pointer. Then, if there is another crop failure at this time—as it is not unlikely according to experts—it will be necessary to raise millions of dollars for food if wholesale disaster is to be prevented. The Portuguese officials in Inhambane, Mr. Pointer reports, are helping a little but nothing commensurate with the need and suffering. The Board of Foreign Missions has sent from its headquarters, 150 Fifth avenue, New York city, enough funds to purchase grain to keep the members of the Christian communities alive until spring; it has no funds available for more extensive relief. This Inhambane section of Africa has for many years furnished some 300,000 young men annually for work in the mines around Johannesburg. When the effects of the famine were first felt there was a rush of men to the mines, but it was necessary to turn away many thousands. Many mines have been working only part time owing to strikes and a number have been flooded during the disorders and cannot be operated for some months. It is noticed also that the young men are not returning from Johannesburg after a year or two, as is their custom, but are remaining until the famine is over. The Board of Foreign Missions has also received word from Dr. J. C. Stauffacher, missionary in Inhambane, that "you can travel a day's journey in any direction and see several people dead or dying from starvation by the roadside. Last week on our farm at Kambinti five were found dead before they could reach us. A little boy came to me and wanted to sell his little sister for two sacks of corn because he was hungry." HENRY CLAY FOSTER, Council of Boards of Benevolence, Methodist Episcopal Church. THE NEGRO WORLD. SATURDAY. NOVEMBER 25. 1922 THE REDEMPTION AFRICA By WILLIAM BEREFSORF SEALEY Morgan College, Baltimore, Md. The program for the redemption of Africa under the auspices of the Universal Negro Improvement Association is a great one, and every well thinking Negro of today might well be inspired with the horizon it brings into view and the possibilities which it presents. Inspired by his own convictions and a supreme trust in God are impulses which prompt Marcus Garvey to do and dare, to organize and stimulate the Negro peoples of the world into one conglomerate whole, at the same time keeping in view the definite goal after which he strives. No time can be more opportune than the present for the redemption of Africa. How can we get Africa? is the constant query of doubling adults within the race. No battle was ever fought and won without previous planning, no building ever erected without its cante of air and eventually stacking of steel and brick and mortar to complete the structure and make it endure. So is the planning of the leader of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Nothing must stand in its way. In fact, nothing can until the "wreck of matter" and as matter cannot be destroyed the plans made for the hopes of Negro freedom and self-determination must carry if men's minds hold. It can be readily judged that to accomplish the result sought after there must at some time or other be a finished fight. It has taken nations centuries to plan after years of preparation. It is not to think of the immediate greatness of those who live. It is of the futures there must be some thought. They who are unborn must find something to carry to fruition So every member of the organization every unit, everything which goes to make this organization must be of a single purpose and attitude. Faith is the need of the hour. Faith in the power to achieve, to do and dare and if need be, die. Negroes as such are great exhibitors of faith in other leadership. The trust, greatest and deepest faith is now demanded of them. Faith like that with which the Man of Nazareth cured the sick and dying, the wounded and diseased, faith which built monuments in the past and continues to build nations and programs of nations at the present hour. Nations today, now great, must pass on, are passing on. The faith which kept German armies at bay before the boundaries of France is needed by the Negro, not the simple faith of our fathers, for they were not alive to the misapplied faith which has brought such ruin and repression to their sons and daughters of today. "They shall not pass," was the battle cry to conjure with, which brought victory to France in her stress. "We must advance" must be the similar war who for Negroes, for freedom and true recognition in the future. It is agreed that we live in a great state. Students of psychology, religion, political science, ethics, all agree that this is the truth, hence the challenge to the Negro to redeem himself and renew his laurels of the past is indeed a mighty one and the opportunity great. The blood shed by the Negro and the fact that it is so inextricably mixed in the Western Hemisphere, and that there seems little hope of his ever being able to redeem anywhere or anything is a pertinent reason adduced by some. Others see the physical impossibility of the enterprise. No argument can decide an issue so great as the securing of racial empire. Political differences aided the signing of the Magna Charta, but a greater influence was the desire for freedom exerted by the barons and wealthy gentry of England. The unjust Stamp Act led to Colonial freedom on the part of the Pilgrim Fathers. "We hold these truths to be divine and just," says Burke, in speaking of the colonies, not only could the States not remain half slave half free but deep down in the soul of the slave there was a cry for freedom which found expression in the underground railway, of which John Brown was a striking example. There is within the heart of the Negro the stain and scars of 300 years of suffering and repression. His songs are full of the emotion and the longings of his heart. The new Negro, his successor, has found a new consciousness, has developed a new self-determining spirit, a new self-expression and a determination like a religion which sets his soul on fire and makes itself felt and heard. He has reached another estate determined to fight that nations in his loins might not be serfs and peons. What a change from the easy-going attitude of the day, the moment ago.

She has found Him not by vacantly searching the skies, not by the meek and suppliant attitude which has characterized her in the past, not by its desire to let others do its thinking and planning and eventually its reaping, but stretching out hands to God within itself, with a faith God given to develop, and use, and express, and exert itself in its own cause and for its own relief Small wonder then that Marous Garvey appeals with such strength and force to the masses of Negroes over the world who fall under the hands he holds. It falls true to the spirit of the anakened Negro, a spirit which suffered and bled and died, but which now lives against every obstacle forced in its way.

I have proposed to say a few words on the value of true character. In the Ethics of Aristotle we have the following words: "Happiness itself is sufficient excuse. Beautiful things are right and true, so beautiful actions are those pleasing to the gods. Wise men have an inward sense of what is beautiful and the highest wisdom is to trust this intuition and be guided by it. The answer to the last appeal of what is right lies within a man's own breast." Trust yourself. These words are the foundation stone on which true and lasting character is built. For, after all, what do we mean by character? I have not the time to go into the meaning of this word technically, but for brevity I sake this define character as "the root of one's life." The real meaning of the word is to engrave. It is the combination of properties, qualities or peculiarities which distinguishes one person or thing or one group of persons or things from others: specifically the sum of the inherited and acquired ethical traits which give to a person his moral individuality. A character or that which distinguishes one man from all others cannot be supposed to consist of one particular virtue or vice or passion only. But it is a composition of qualities which are not contrary to one another in the same person. Members and friends, do you all think that Bagnall, Pickens, Randolph or Owens could look the Hon. Maruse Garvey in the face for brains? I say no. It is perfectly silly for any of these men that are functioned by the white people's money and what they tell them to do could go before or go beyond our leader end his own common sense and brains. These people such as Bagnall, Pickens, Randolph and Owens put me in mind of the King of Macedonia, who was accustomed to climb the mountains of Greece. One day the great Aristotle to be while he was a boy was noted for his skill as a guide to the travelers of Greece. The king, Amyntas by name, had a son about the same age as young Aristotle. One day the king's son caught the friendship of young Agistotle and while they were standing side by side a stranger saw them together and complimented the king on his fine intelligent boy, and the king had to explain the other boy is mine, but I wish they both were. Such is real character, my friends. You cannot bly it. You cannot pose for it. It must be congenial or be acquired. Of the two, acquired character is the lasting, since it is based on rational living and science. Now, my dear members and friends, you see, if the Hon. Marcus Garvey had come over here and done as Bagnall, Pickens, Randolph and Owens they would be the best of friends. Today our honorable leader has got that true and lasting character. The character that you cannot buy, the character that you cannot pose for. But he has got the acquired character. The man who has a real character shall live not only in this life but in the world to come. If we are to succeed as a race of people and move so in this wonderful movement of ours the age demands not criticism as efficiency in character building. Today I am asking not to criticize this movement but to help in the affairs of the movement. Suppose we being that principle into this movement and ask our members not to cry down the bad qualities of their friends, but take the eye of charity and see if they can observe any good qualities in their friends. What the world needs today is real character based upon genuine friendship. May God bless and preserve the work of our great leader, the Hon. Marcus Garvey. HEALTH TALKS BY DR. B. ELLIOTT RAWLINS (Prepared for Cancer Week) CAN: CANGER BE CURED? The answer to this question is being awaited by an awakened public who now realize the suffering and loss due to this baffling disease. I shall answer this question in a spirit of pride because of the splendid advancement made by medical science in the treatment and cure of this most frequent disease. Cancer can be cured. It has been cured and further advancement and more frequent cure will continue to be made when the early recognition of this disease is more frequently established. The curse of cancer, then, depends upon an early diagnosis. Most people the afraid of cancer and because of this fear, they retail from consulting a physician or surgeon until it is quite late in the development of this malignancy. To be successful with chemotherapy, patients must be keen, quick, and efficient. Prepare the public, inform the patients of the possibility, or in case, among other things, that their situation poses a certain symptom. intestines, the rectum, the womb, the breast; also the lips and tongue. The lips and tongue are prone to cancer because of frequent irritation and injury. Excessive smoking, decayed and ragged teeth, a burn of the tongue from too hot foods—all these may be the exciting cause of cancer of the lip or tongue. Anyone noticing a parastental raw spot with a feeling of discomfort on the tongue or lip should in dately consult his physician, for this may be the beginning of a cancerous growth. An early operation before the cancer cells circulate and spread through the lymph channels and blood vessels will cure cancer completely. Cancer of the stomach and intestines is the most frequent of cancerous growths. This is due to the at ease and injury which the stomach sustains. Too hot foods, too cold foods, too much foods, irregular meals, badly cooked foods—all these injure the stomach wall, resulting in gastritis. If the injury continues gastitis develops into ulcer of the stomach and this very often proceeds into cancer. The early and suspicious symptoms are persistent and frequent digestive disturbances. Thus pain, discomfort, loss of appetite, belching and burning in the pit of the stomach, with a steady loss in weight, are symptoms that need a thorough examination. The X-ray and a chemical analysis of the stomach contents are the exact methods of detection of cancer of the stomach and intestines. Many cures of cancer of the stomach and intestines have been accomplished when early operation was performed In women the womb and the breast are always a source of trouble. At the birth of a child the womb of the mother is frequently injured. In nursing her baby the breast becomes a vulnerable spot. Because of these irritations to these two organs cancer frequently develops. Any woman who observes a lump in the breast, no matter how small, should consult her physician. It may be cancer. In women any persistent bleeding or blood-tinged watery discharge should be looked upon with suspicion and expert medical opinion sought as to its origin and treatment. The rectum is the organ that retains bulky waste material and undigested parts of food until evacuated from the body. It is thus subject to constant irritations and inflammations, and these are always excitants to cancer. An increasing constipation, passage of blood or mucus, and overoffensive odor to the bowel evacuations, are all signs that need expert opinion and treatment. A radical operation for cancer of the rectum gives a cure if the procedure is performed early, before the cancer spreads. Cancer occurs in many other parts of the body, such as the skin, nose and throat; but those I have dwelt upon are the most frequent. There is much yet to learn about cancer. The ultimate aim of science is to find the cause. Until then let us use the knowledge we have thus far ascertained to battle with this disease of modern civilization. Early diagnosis and an early operation, combined with X-ray and that wonderful radium, are the means at our command. To those who may have symptoms of cancer I would say "Go to your physician, find out the truth, for the truth will make you free." THEY ARE NOT MEN They are not men, although they claim To be made in human guise. They are up to make notorious fame, And all fair laws despise: And the Ku Klux Klan, who are they, The wolves and jackals of a race Who are out to butcher and slay; And order and peace deface; They are just a cowardly tribe of curs Who are out to harm us and ours. Of parihae and low mongrel shames Who defies laws and leaves a blot On the escutcheon of time, and all the rest of time. Compassion, you would have on others. To respect the sisters of another race. The fathers, and brothers, on the same case. Ku Klux Klan, what are you; Who made you the law to take Haplasts beings, their fate rue And burn Negroes at the stake; Does your noble Culture teach this? If so, there surely something amiss. Men will not put their hands to things Of which they are ashamed; For surely the evil human beings Can not escape being blamed; And retribution, sure as fate. Returns to those who wrongly hate. Ku Klux Klan, cowards all. All beirs or low degrees. So blind that wormwood and gall Are the only things they can see; And this they do, for the reason only To keep the Negro poor and lonely. Ku Kinz Klan are an evil crowd Who carest not for State's decrees, But like a pack of bounds loud, They hunt the Negro, their fust to please: Declares it all for supremacy white, For which they ravish, burn and blight. But the Ku Klux Klan can enjoy their game For yet a little longer, For the new Negro is no longer lame And afraid to fight their stronger. Than him so a world full of woe. In which all patience are lost. FRED MANFIELD. We have no patience. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1922 A CORKING COMBINATION OFFER!

NEWS OF THE WORLD—HERE, THERE AND EVERYWHERE (By Wesley C. People's Press Service) New Daily Race Paper in Richmond, Va. A kindly disposed postman left copies of the Daily Sentinel, Nos. 1 to 9, a new daily race paper published in Richmond. Va. It is apparently a well dilted paper and filled with the doings of the race in all parts of the country, using in the main the Preston News Service. It is published at 112 East Jackson street and sells for two cents a copy While we were pleased to receive this bright sheet, some of the Intelligence it brought was in the main aid. It tells the story of alleged discrepancies in the deposits of the Mechanics Bank of Richmond, of which John Mitchell, Jr. is president. It will be recalled that Mitchell attended the National Bankers' Convention out here last year and delivered a few speeches in the Bay region. He is probably one of the best known race bankers in the country. From the accounts in the Bentinel the affairs of the bank are tied up in litigation and it looks as though some of the depositors would suffer a loss. While the local campaigns are raging in California, the Negro voters, according to the Bentinel, are preparing a statewide war on the Lily White Republicans of Virginia, centering their attack principally on Bascom Slemp, the Republican nominee and Lily White boss of that State married twenty-five Years You in all likelihood will not believe it, but none the less it is true—one man married and living with the same woman twenty-five years. Surely the cynic will sneeer and the psychoanalysis of the incident will never be determined, and those who have lost faith in the binding ties of matrimony will hide their heads in amazing disbelief. But lot them rave. It surely is the truth, for we have before us a card announcing the celebration of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Christian A. Grischott at their home in Andover street, Saturday, November 4. C. A Grischott "Jumped over the broomstick" with Mrs Nellie Grischott, nee Nellie Bynum, November 4. 1897. Indeed, a fitting example for the present generation and absolutely worth a piece of silver to see a couple who can turn the trick. Personally we expect to receive a card announcing their fifteenth anniversary. Many friends were out to wish them a happy voyage on the matrimonial bark WHAT IS POETRY? Although I am the least of all poets and especially those writing for this paper, I must also express my opinion on "What is poetry?" Of course, any one can copy, as Mr Stronach said, what others originate from encyclopedias, but I am writing this originally, and this is the only way we can improve the age. What is poetry? Some one says poetry is a collection of metrical verses. Well, that is so, but it is that all! Another said it is an embodiment of rhythm and rhyme. It is, but as yet, that is not all. We all know that poetry differs from prose. Poetry carries an air so refreshing (so invigorating), so impressive, so winning and so full of music which prose has no frame nor form to bear. In the "Ancient Mariner" note the following verse: On my soul in agony." This makes us feel as we could not feel were it written in prose. This is said to be the greatest masterpiece of the English language, partly for its alliteration and partly for its touching air. Now let us turn to our modern writers. Of course, many who will read this do not read the weekly columns of poems in this paper, for it is my experience that only elevated minds read poetry frequently, and he who writes is most interested. In my opinion, the poems in the columns of this and other papers make up the spice of these papers and only those who are acousetous to eating such can know the value. Such writers as Ethel Trew Dunlap, C. D. Este and others of this paper are making up the enjoy part of it, saying nothing of myself, who am no writer. Referring to Mr J B. Watkins on his last poem, "Lived, Loved and Lost" This was not only the spice of the column of that issue, but it is the spice, the fragrance of a loving memory. Who can read these verses and not eel the emotion of the writer passing into him and giving him a keener glance on natural life? Another remarkable feature in poetry is that it may be read intelligently by a prepared mind, while there are many of well informed minds and writers who cannot intelligently write a poem. Here comes the question: "What then, in poetry? Poetry is that most distinguished form of expression embodying rhythm and rhyme which emotionalizes and heightens the imagination of man and makes him see, feel and enjoy nature most intelligently it is a natural expression of an elevated mind and a stimulant to all intelligence. PROF O M SKINNER 620 Lenox Ave, New York City. A LECTURE AT ETHICAL CULTURAL HALL ON RACE PREJUDICE. BY DR. ADLER Last Sunday we attended a lecture at Ethical Culture Hull, West Hixs, fourth street and Central Park West by Dr. Felix Adler. His subject was Persistent Race Prejudice. He showed the conditions and the causes of race prejudice. He also gave a cure for the existence of it. He pointed out the circumstances that brought Negroes to America and elsewhere—that is, the condition of servitude—being brought from their native land, as contrasted with other people who came to America of their own free will. He maintained greater respect was felt for the voluntary immigrant than for the involuntary one. Then, too, Negroes having only been freed about sixty years, white men could not consider them as equals. He pointed to the very cheap and degrading positions given to Negroes in the South, "to keep them in their place." Further on he related how race prejudice made further inroads based on skin color, dislike and religious prejudice. He claimed education and the creation of a broader and more humane liking for the Negro would help to break down some of the barriers of racial prejudice. Nevertheless, we could discern between the lines the indomoken of the aims and objects of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, as promulgated by the Hon Marcus Garvey, as the best means for curing persistent race prejudice" HERMAN A MCKENZIE New York City "BLACK STONE OF MECCA" HELD IN GREAT VENEBRATION George B. Cattlin in "Corner Stones of History," in the Detroit "Masonic News" tells of a very notable sacred stone known to the world as "the black stone of Mecca." Its traditional and legendary history are very curious, and it is held in great veneration by all Moslems, yet in spite of their beef in its miraculous lore they do not regard it as an idol or a thing to be adored. The center of religious worship among the early Arabs was the Kanaba, in the heart of the city of Mecca. In the northeast corner of the Kanaba, about five feet above the ground, is embedded the famous black stone which is believed to be one of the stones of Paradise which was brought from heaven by the angel Gabriel and given to Abraham when he was building the Kanaba. At first, according to tradition, it was a pure, dazzling white, but it has become black because of the sins of the people—New York Sun. P A G E AS FIG LEAF FOR EVE, FORESTS NOW CLOTHE WOMAN, SAYS SCIENTIST Professor Turns Poet to Stress Importance of Woods to Human Race BYRACUSE N. Y. Nov 13—Pro- gress moves in circles. Woman's first garments were leaves from the fig- tree. And now, sings Prof Louis E. Wise of the New York State College of Forestry. A lady's clothea From head to toes. From braided hat to silken hose. Are now composed of cellulose. Besides being a poet, Professor Wise is a scientist, so when he burst into song before his class he had the proofs of his rhymed remarks. He showed neckties, shirts, silks, shoes, suits and hats all made wholly or in part from wood constituents. "When a man," the professor dropped back to prose, "writes his name, reads his paper, amokes his pipe, takes aspirin or quinine, goes hunting or to the movies, plays the phonograph or uses his radiophone, paints his house, varnishes his floor or eats his snusage he comes into contact with utilization of the forest." These remarks were a prelude to a plea for scientific, government control of our dwindling forest resources. CHIROPRACTIC AND BY THEO A TOBIN, D. C. Ph. C. Chiropractic is distinct from every other method it is not faith cure. Christian Science magnotism, electricity osteopathy, hypnosis or massage. Chiropractors do not treat heal or cure, they simply adjust the misaligned vertebrae of the spine with the hands, and the power within, which they call human intelligence, does all the treating, healing or curing that is done. They do not concern themselves with diagnosis, for of what value is it to confer a name on a group of symptoms when they do not treat symptoms, their contention is that when the cause of the condition is removed the symptoms will disappear There are no "incurable diseases" in the chiropractic vocabulary, for their science teaches that the power that built the body, that regulates its functions, heals its wounds, mends its breaks and converts common food into flesh and blood, can and does cure every disease. This does not mean, however, that disease cannot progress to a point where it is incurable. They do not believe in drugs, for they cannot reason how a drug that will make a well person sick can make a sick person well. They claim that all the curing and healing must come from "within" and not from without. For the adjustment of the misaligned vertebrae they use nothing but their hands and they regard those who use vibrators, stretching machines, therapeutic lamps, etc as incompetents who are prostituting the science of chiropractic for gain — professional mongrels. A real chiropractic uses no adjuncts, his hands are his only tools in giving the adjustment. He knows exactly what he does and why he does it and the result of his work is what has caused chiropractic to grow in spite of the work of incompetents.

My Dear Friend—I have been inter- cated and amused, too, by the friend- ly "collision of minds" on the matter of miracles between Mr T Thomas Fortune and yourself, which, later on, threw into the vortex that of my esteemed friend. His Grace the Duke of Uganda, the Rt Hon John E Bruce. (Before I draw this letter to a close I fear I myself am liable to be drawn in also.) Your verbal combat reminds me of three men, all blind, deaf and dumb (Nota bene—Analogies must not be made to stand on all fours—that's my apologia for the use of the story as illustrative of my point), who for the first time were "regarding" an elephant by the best sense at their disposal—the sense of touch. At the conclusion of the exercise Blind Man No. 1 decided that an elephant was like a fire-department hose. Blind Man No. 2 was just as certain that an elephant was like an overgrown pig, while Blind Man No. 3 insisted that an elephant was like a whisk broom. Now, which one was right? Of course a little reflection would show that they were all right, depending upon past experience merging with the new event, which new event depended upon the area of the elephant's anatomy "sensed" by each man. For by this means and this alone are all perceptions gained. One brother had evidently felt the elephant's trunk, one his son and the other his tail. This story is illustrative of the psychology of your友riendly debate. You are right—all three of you. That is, you are right from the point of view from which you attack the problem. When you used the term you were evidently looking at it from the traditional orthodox point of view Mr Fortune, to whom that viewpoint was evidently a "closed door," decided that you were wrong. His viewpoint is the viewpoint of popular speech and uncritical usage and he so expressed himself. Then entered the philosopher, Sir John, who after investigating the issue more or less critically decides that a miracle is Nature misunderstood." Without yielding one whit in my profound respect for the decisions arrived at by both Mr Fortune and yourself, I have to doff my hat to the philosopher In the October 17 issue of the "Negro Times" Sir John reflects as follows. "Philosophy is the accumulated guesses of learned savants. . . ." In spite of the lateral redundancy of the sentence, that's pretty good guessing. I say! And he who has given such a trenchant definition of philosophy has in his role of philosopher in this case before us made a mighty good guess of miracle—Nature misunderstood! What the philosopher has given as a guess I should like to clarify and rearrange and give the "conclusion of the whole matter," as Old Solomon would say Let's go' 1 Suppose you draw a circle and call it 'The Sum Total of Universal Intelligence' and refer it to Cosmos, Nature, God—it makes no difference which for our present purpose 2 From this circle cut a segment—it makes no difference how large—and call that segment M or the sum total to date of man's intelligence 3 The remainder of the circle will then represent the area of universal intelligence as yet untraversed by man Call it N 4 When men speak of the laws of Nature they can only refer to that segment of universal intelligence marked M They cannot possibly refer to that indeterminate area marked N about which at the time they know nothing. 5 Now, since the universe is a unit, its functionings as such many innervate any given area of its sphere at any given moment. 6. When the sphere innervated comes within the segment M we can understand it according to known laws, so we ray it is natural, that is, understood But when the sphere innervated is the area N we say it is not natural, not understood, miraculous. Now this mental phenomenon has a distinct ethical value apart from its mathematical precision. It posits the limitation of human intelligence or knowledge without committing itself to the proposition of the eternal limitation of human knowledge or intelligence, for the segment M can be made larger and larger with every new excursion of man into regions of the BISHOP I.

And the consciousness of the limitation of human intelligence is man's greatest incentive to intellectual progress—to extend the borderline of his segment of the circle of universal intelligence. What we have given here, very briefly, in this letter is not tradition, though it does not alienate tradition is not the language of the "vulgua," though it does not traverse their notions. it is the language of epistemology, the finding of psychology which can stand the test of the most exacting logic or record of experience. It is scientific. As for the definition of Sir John E. Bruce, philosopher, a miracle is not nature misunderstood. Nature misunderstood would be false science, or superstition. The truth of the matter as I have expressed it above, is. A miracle is nature's naturing not understood—by man, of course. Please tell him who defined philosophy as "the accumulated guesses of . . . avants" that when he himself became philosopher he made a fairly good guess. Had he guessed "not" instead of "mis" he would have hit the bull's eye. With pleasant remembrance of past associations. Fraternally yours.

We call it supernatural, supernatural, miraculous. The prefixes simply mean outside the field of M. They have no moral value as such.

DIVISIONS THE WORLD SIGNIFICANCE OF THE THIRD INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION Adopted Future Program of U. N. I. A. a Challenge to Anglo-Saxon Supremacy on African Continent Widespread racial reaction in America, the West Indies and Africa to the adopted racial program of the U N I. A., as inaugurated in the Third International Negro Convention, has not yet assumed the highest point. The greater part of the Negro world, true to humanity in general, to human nature itself, is ever tedious in adopting radical procedure and radical reform. However, there is evident a marked and significant demonstration in the comment and criticism, both favorable and otherwise, as to the effectiveness of the work accomplished in that convention. This demonstration may be mere in its incipiency at present, due to the fact that but a short time has elapsed since its rising, so as not to have given a sufficiently long period to experience the effectiveness of the adopted reforms. Certainly, with a sufficient lapse of time for the Negro public to thoroughly digest the full content of its great work, we can expect nothing short of a great reaction among Negroes everywhere, and one which will be decidedly favorable to the future progress of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. The significance of any such internal force producing reaction or unrest among the mass of Negroes is that such a force is certain to produce a marked effect on the Anglo-Saxon scheme of world superiority and in this fact lies the potency and effectiveness of the future program of the U.N.I.A. adopted in the convention August, 1922, in this fact lies the present power of this doctrine called Garveyism, through which the Negro is no longer blending to the Anglo-Saxon for just recognition of his rights as a man, but a new leadership is telling and teaching the Negro himself. First, you are a man as other men. What the Anglo-Saxon has done in attaining the heights of civilization you can do on your own initiative. So that as I enter upon the discussion of the convention and the universal significance of its achievements, I am irresistibly reminded of the "infectious growth" of the movement, of Garvey himself, as a new doctrine, of the day a little over four and a half years ago when the so-called "Garvey dream" was finished upon the scene of a world recovering from a great war. The Negro had again been weighed in the balance and found not lacking in those essentials which make up the cost of the human race. On the battlefields of France and Flanders there had been born a new Negro manhood, an unskilling to the possibilities of a rapidly developing race consciousness. The new Negro had arrived. Returning triumphant from European battlefields the Negro then only lacked the necessary uncompromising leadership—one with a flair for real leadership and the real needs of an oppressed black humanity. How the situation has changed in the last few years is apparent to the most casual observer. At that time Garvey's name was little outside of Jamaica. The U N I A was merely a small edition of its present self. Indeed, following the first Madison Square Garden opening night, 1920, the observer merely marveled at the spectacle of the great crowd, and the query went forth through the press: "Who is Marcus Garvey?" The only answer that possibly could have been made then, and that a rather premature one, by any intelligent, fair-minded, unbiased, perhaps visionary critique, would have been. "Here is a creative genius of the first order, a new leader with a genius for organization, an uncompromising leader of the masses. He will eventually succeed in turning the current of Negro thought into new channels." To have made this critical observation, then, required some breadth of vision, though the new "Declaration of Negro Rights" had been heralded already around the world. However, the world, comprising mankind in general, has never received the reformer nor the exponent of a new and radical doctrine with open arms. As Galton states, "The mass of mankind plods on with eyes fixed in the footsteps of the generation that went before, too indifferent or too fearful to raise their glances to judge for themselves whether the path they are traveling is the best or to learn the conditions by which they are surrounded and affected." So the Negro, like the rest of mankind, rang true to human nature. Therefore, Garveyism, the new doctrine, and Marcus Garvey, its most ardent exponent, at first met with, not only the cold indifference in a large measure of the Negro himself, but faced the mockery of the Anglo-Saxon as well. Marcus Garvey's scheme was looked upon by the white world as a huge joke and many so-called Negro leaders acquired in this idea. Today the words of Garvey proclaimed to the world for the past four years loom as prophetic, in face of the prevailing world situation. Aside from the economic difficulties of Europe and North America, there can be seen far down on the Eastern horizon a cloud that blids fair to develop into such a storm as the white race has not had to face since Attila was beaten at Chalons and the Saracen flood turned back at Toura. Once. "In deep disdain the patient East Bowed its head. And let the legions thunder past, but today the East is no longer patient, nor is it so ready to bend to the Western storm as it has been. On the contrary, the East is showing unmistakable signs of preparing to test the mastery of the white man and fight him for the lordship of the world. Today Mustafa Kemal, in the Near East situation, leading the so-called "unspeakable Turk," has forced mighty England to come to terms, in order to avert, for the time being, at least, the greatest of human cataclysm — the much dreaded "war of the races" and the inevitable dissolution of empire. For just such a catastrophe Marcus Garvey has been waiting and talking Negro preparedness for the past four years. Today Garvey has succeeded in building, unprecedented in the history of his race, a world wide organization so potent that its influence touches all shores of human existence, so effective in the scope of its work that though not in reality a recognized political government, it is calling for a new diplomacy on the part of Anglo-Saxon statesmanship to treat with a new and enlightened Negro on what is rightfully his. A new diplomacy is coming into play to treat the rising tide of Negro race consciousness. The effectiveness of this influence produced upon the outside world has been successfully maintained, notwithstanding the fact that there has been over present a steadily growing opposition within the race, the growth of which has kept pace with the progress of the movement. Encouraged in this hostile critical attitude toward Garvey and the organization proper, by certain mistakes, abuses and weaknesses which existed within the movement, the opposition on the part of Negro organizations in particular, entered a definite and decisive phase just preceding the August convention, 1922, and the campaign continuing during its sitting, sought to obscure the achievements of the past four and a half years by attempting to hold up to public ridicule Marcus Garvey and his enterprises. That the organization came through this crisis without disaster is due to the wise and crafty statemanship displayed in convention. However, it was to correct these past mistakes, to eradicate such abuses and mistakes as existed prior to August, 1922; in short, to correctly shape the destiny of black millions, that the convention of 1922 formulated its policy. The work of that conclave, therefore, was to shape itself in laying a concrete foundation for economic and industrial independence, upon which to rear a superstructure of future greatness. Its avowed purpose was to find a more effective and comprehensive method of developing Negro groups and nationalities along independent lines, the aim being the ultimate future redemption of Africa from alien exploitation and safeguarding the liberties of Negroes throughout the world. So that the convention of 1922 takes on somewhat an increased significance when one views it in the light of the four years of progress in the movement and the eventful history connected with it. The "Declaration of Negro Rights" issued four years ago meant the crystallization of the then growing race consciousness into a definite policy. That manifesto created a policy to guide the new Negro movement. As that declaration reverberated throughout the world, penetrating even the African jungle and creating the resultant reaction of the past four years, so the convention of 1922 which put force into that document and made it, as it were, life, blood and slaw, will react upon black millions and in turn react upon millions of Anglo-Saxons throughout the world. This fact will become more evident as time goes on and the program adopted is put into effect. The program vital thrust at the "heart" of the world by Negroes was the word of the third international convention embodied in the demand for a mandate over the former German African colonies before the League of Nations at Geneva. If self-determination for smaller nations and oppressed peoples is one of its guiding policies, if it has meant self-determination for smaller nations of other races, then the Negro through the N. U. N. A. is today demanding some measure of self-determination in Africa, his native land. So that the declaration of Negroes in 1920 has been reaffirmed and made an active instrument in 1932. In the hand of a delegation out of that convention, the intelligence, the higher statemanship and diplomacy of the Negro has already measured arms with the highest diplomacy the world affords. As has been said, this forward stroke on the part of the Negro is certain to create a resultant reaction throughout Anglo-Saxondom, especially England. What definite course this reaction may take or what may be the result in the immediate future of the present demand of the Negro for exercise of this mandate under the suplex of the U. N. U. N. A. I would not venture to predict. It is, however, the Negro's first bow to the world in the THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1922 1. realm of diplomacy. Certainly with the presence of other great world forces, combining at present with that of the U. N. L. A. to produce any marked effect on future international stability, we can expect nothing less than a reactive- favorable to the future program of the organization in Africa. In the presence of these world forces the program of the third international convention takes on new significance. Mustapha Kemal's victory over the Greeks with resultant diplomatic negotiations to stave off inevitable war is in itself a disastrous blow to white prestige. At last the white monopoly of force, it seems, is about to come to an end. A new diplomacy on the part of the Anglo-Saxon has been brought to play upon the darker races. The Negro must match this diplomacy with one as high or higher. The inevitable grapple may not come in this generation. There may be outpost clashes such as expulsion or attempted expulsion of the British from India and Egypt, but the final life and death struggle is still distant. Even at that, it may not be as far off as it seems, for world events are moving fast just now and India, Egypt, Turkey, Arabia and Africa are not only learning to fight with the white man's weapons but are acquiring medical and sanitary knowledge which will be of incalculable value in conserving life and increasing more rapidly still the already great numerical superiority of the darker races. The Japanese will probably try to head the war for world supremacy, but a more-intelligent, more capable race is likely to assume first place. The Negro, through the U. N. I. A., acquiring a racial and national consciousness and a patriotic spirit which is certain to take him to the front ranks among the races of the world. The third international convention has advanced the program which when effective will win the Negro his place in the sun. It truly behooves white men to forget their international hatreds, racial prejudice and oppression, grant the demands of Africa and India, or get together, for Caucasians will have to stand shoulder to shoulder and fight as one man if they do not wish to be overwhelmed by the colored torrent. The black man faces a future pregnant with possibilities. THE MIRANDA, CUBA, U. N. L A., HOLDS INTERESTING MEETING On Tuesday, 7th instant, we held our usual mass meeting. It was opened in its usual form by singing our specific ode, "From Greenland's Ice Mountains," followed by the reading of the order for the mass meeting by the president. Mr. F. J. Watson, who presided, showed enthusiasm to the conclave under the auspices of the U. N. I. A. The first speaker was Mr. J. Thomas, who said for the way in which he was filled with words to express toward this movement he readily didn't know what to commence with. He then asked all Negroes to fully realize what this great movement means and what it calls for. He also impressed us more clearly with a greater determination to press forward and be most worthy members of the U. N. I. A. There was also rendered by Mrs. U. Foster a son-entitled "Sowing the seed." Mrs. J. Watson, lady president, read a passage from "The Negro World." After reading same she made some brief remarks, showing and calling the attention of Negroes to the fact that God had given them the same ability to do things as well as the other fellows. Mr. S. B. Hentiquez, our worthy treasurer, then came forward and gave a very eloquent speech. He said if we didn't take this great movement into consideration and t. Join it readily we do not know God, and the further we are keeping from it so are we keeping away from God, and therefore we will die without knowing Him. Now is the time for us to step forward and support the cause so as to lift us out of the mire in which we are just now. He held the audience spellbound for more than half an hour. The president then across from the chair, showing great appreciation to the speakers for their eloquent speeches. Announcement was made and the meeting came to a close by the singing of the Ethiopian National Antham. Yours for the uplift of the race. BLANCHE M. THOMAS. Official Reporter.

Now that that great conclave has passed into the limbo of things gone by, we are looking forward to seeing every branch, every chapter, every division—more than that, every member—do the beat that can be done to make for the progress, advancement, prosperity, and all-around improvement of the race, and in that expectation Division No. 84, of Bluefields, Nicaragua, is no exception of the rule.

A few short days more and we shall see each other face to face, and then we shall renew our efforts for the carrying on of the good work which has been started for the uplift of the race. Be firm, be brave, be true, face the future with undaunted courage and undying hope, also with unswerving devotion to the cause of the U. N. I. A. and the awakened and enlightened Negro.

HAYES SUGGESTS NOV. 27 BE OBSERVEL AS DAY OF PRAYER Commissioner's Headquarters, 1031 Wide St., Noffolk, Va. Nov. 16, 1932. To the Presidents of All Divisions in Maryland and Virginia. Greetings—Whores November 27 has been set aside as the date for the trial of the Rt. Hon. Marcus Garvey, President General and Administrator of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, charged with using the United States mails to defraud, it becomes my duty to suggest that your division through you observe this day as a day of prayer. Upon the outcome of this trial hangs the destiny of an oppressed and helpless race. Pray, therefore, not so much for the individual, not so much for the organization, but pray for the victory of Right over Might. Pray for the triumph of Justice over Oppression. Pray even as the Christ two love and adored pray when Satan sought to deprive suffering humanity of the great Christian ideal for which He lived and suffered at the hands of His own. In the name of Liberty, in the name of Freedom, in the name of bleeding Mother Africa, I therefore command you to turn your eyes heavanward and put your trust, your hope, your faith in the great Judge of judges, who alone metes out justice evenly to all concerned, irrespective of color or nationality, on November 27. Yours for a free and redeemed Africa. S. A.

YOUNG PEOPLE TOGETHER Nov. 13, 1922 On November 8 the Lady President of Terre Haute Division, after having a vision of a way to bring the younger people together that something might be said to them of what this association stood for, gave a quilt contest with music to stop the passerboy. So after the younger people had gathered she opened by singing and afterward prayer was offered by the chaplain. After she had explained to the people what it, intention of the meeting was she introduced the President, who gave a short talk. He talked of what was necessary for us to do, and the first was, Parents, prepare for your children. How shall we make preparation for them? We must first come together ourselves. Then we can talk the thing over the best way we can make employment for our children. We must prepare a place for them to go that they may be able to be free and to be Governors. Presidents and any other thing that the other man has been in this country that we now live in and which is called the land of the brave and the free. Let us build up Africa it takes our blood, that our children may be able to say as the white man says of the United States of America. Our fathers have made the way possible for us by shedding their blood and setting up a government that we may as long as there is a son of Ethiopia hold supremacy on the continent of our Mother Land, Africa. Now we ask of the younger people to fall in line and be with us in this good and noble work. Render us your service in every way that we may be able to put the program, over and make a home for you, and not only you but for the yet unborn. The Lady President then called the quilting committee, which read off the tickets that were sold, giving the number sold by each person in the contest. Miss Will B. Brown being the person selling the most tickets was awarded the prize. The quilt was given to Misa A. Peterson, she being the holder of the lucky ticket. The Universal song was sung and we were dismissed by Rev. Ed Brown. 8 THE TERRE HAUTE, IND. DIVISION, STILL STANDING LIKE A BEATEN ANVII November 12, 1922. The Terre Haute Division is still trying to hold on to this great cause the best she can with her few loyal officers and members who still have the spirit of the New Negro. In spite of every hardship the Division is undergoing, she is determined to put this program over the top for the betrayment of the younger generation. The meeting was opened with the Vice-President, Rev Eric Brown presiding, as the President, Mr C M Winbush, was called out of the city on particular business. After the meeting was properly opened the program was begun, which was as follows: Opening song, "From Greenland to Ice Mountains, by congregation Prayer, led by Rev Eric Brown." Song, "America," by congregation Song, "Ethiopian Anthem," by congregation. Talk by Mr Ernest Hamilton whose subject was "Should Ethiopia Get Together?" He declared that he had seen no other organization yet that stood for such a good cause, or one that has got so many Negroes together in so short a time. It is essential for the Negroes to get together if they ever expect to accomplish anything. He also said that he had never seen a man as brave as the Hon Marcus Garvey, who was at any time ready to give his life for the Negroes of the world. Next on the program was a talk by the Lady President, Mrs. Halle Brown. She said that she believes that now the Negroes are determined to go forward and not backward. The reason the people who have not joined the Division have not done so is because they have not yet got the real understanding as to what the association stands for. Many other things were said by her to encourage the Division to go on. The next speaker was Mr. Woodson, a man who represents the American Woodman lodge. He stated that for the last fifty years we haven't been doing anything but taking care of the sick and burying the dead. The black people are looking for something else now. We can never get this thing that we want until we unite for the protection of the race. We must open employment for our young people, because it is just as much a crime to educate your boy or girl and then have no place for them to go as it is not to educate them at all. --- The next on the program was a song by the congregation, "When We Get Home." We then were glad to listen to our Vice-President, Rev. Eric Brown. He spoke right to the point, telling the Negroes that before they can come together they must have love. He made his talk very short, and then introduced Mr. E. A. Grundy, a business man travelling through Chicago. He is a man who is very much interested in the association. He lectured to us for a while. He said that he wanted the Lord to put in him the same spirit that Job had. Every nation but the black man's has fought and died for itself. It is high time that the Negro is waking up. He must fight for himself, for no other nation is going to do it for him. Some people say that Lincoln freed the Negro. No white man has freed the black man or ever intends to. It was the Negro who freed himself, because he had to fight for it. He was the prime factor of the Civil War. Ever since then he has been the prime factor of every other battle. The Negro should wakeup and fight for himself. I am a millionaire. Why do I say that I am a millionaire? It is because I am a son of Ham, and am an heir to the wealth of Africa, which is my home. Africa is a wealthy continent. That is why I say that I am a millionaire. He concluded by saying that as long as he lives he will be willing to give his life for the redemption of Africa, his motherland. We then sang a song, "In My Father's House." Next we heard a few words from Mr. Owens, President of Highland Chapter. Many words of interest and encouragement were heard as the audience listened with due attention. Last on the program was a dust by Miss Willa Brown and Miss Barnice Bishop. After the program the secretary announced the collection and the amount. The meeting then adjourned. MR. C. M. WINBUHN, President. MISS WILLA BROWN. Assistant Secretary. THE U. N. L. A. FLOURISHING IN SALISBURY, N. C. On Monday night, October 30, we of this division unveiled our charter, No. 929, amid thunderous applause. The result of Marone Garvey is stronger today, in Salibury than it was before. May God uphold this black statesman, fight the battle for 400,000,000 black men everywhere. **Beguinum:** "Dear Lord, Eternal Light." beaded by the Red, Black and Green. "Silver and Stripes." on the left arm of the president, and Master Buddy Graham on the right, bearing the charter The first speaker Mr J B Miller, gave a lengthy address, in which he pleaded for a united race. Next was Mrs. Annie Lee Harris, who gave us a lengthy college oration, which was received with much applause then Mrs. Lorrie Motty and Mrs. Dorale Hickman rendered a fine duet, which caused great applause Rev McFee expressed his appreciation for the U N I A and prayed to God for its speedy success. Next was the unveiling of our charter while the choir sang the National Anthem of the U N I A. The bell was lifted by Master Buddy Graham and Miss Elizabeth Jamison Then the principal speaker came on the scene. Our president who explained the aims and objects of the association, then shattered the critical right and left then calmly asked their cooperation, to which many responded by enrolling their names with us. Our meeting then came to a close while we all stood and sang. Blessed be the The That Binda, whilst our people all joined in hand shaking. Immediately after that our tables were crowded with plenty to eat and drink. Salisbury certainly did see a night of nights I am. Yours for the cause of Africa ED JAMIRO THE ATLANTIC CITY DIVISION HOLDS MEETING EXTRAORDINARY THE ATLANTIC CITY DIVISION HOLDS MEETING EXTRAORDINARY It was recommended to the membership by the honorable Advisory Board that the division send invitations to all fraternal bodies asking them to send a representative, or representatives, or delegates, to discuss the following agenda, and devise ways and means for the betterment of the race in Atlantic City Better relationship, socially and fraternally, housing facilities, community work.

DETERMINED Two months ago the last desperate effort has been made by the executive officers of this division to see if this community will join in lifting the bond of economic serifdom from our neighborhood as far as Negroes are concerned. This effort is embodied in the formation of a Universal Negro Co-operative Society inaugurated September 13, 1922. Circulators have been distributed largely and meetings have been kept in our Liberty Hall outlining the necessity of such co-operation and the benefit that can be obtained therefrom. Mr R C Russell acting president from the month of November 1721, has been trying to launch this proposition but owing to the light response it lingered all the way down to the time of its formation Addresses brimful of inspiration and encouragement sealed with the love of racial progress appeal to the consciousness or unconsciousness of the masses of our slumbering community have been increasingly coming from our rostrum Mears. R C Russell, Mr D H Campbell, R L Oborne, Mr V Fernandez and Mr J A Todd have been blazing their way into repute. The latter in a recent address divulged the fact that a community no matter where it may be depends upon its professional social, intellectual and financial output to bring about the desire reputation And so long as that element is disorganized so long will such a community have to undergo the reverberation of social evils, economic depressions and will eventually succumb to the overwhelming of chaos and stagnation. The laboring masses, especially those who may unfortunately be the lesser informed, depend on the above classes referred to for ideals which they of themselves would not be able to initiate. This mass, if assisted by the upper group collectively, would be better able to demonstrate their capability in becoming better citizens. On the other hand, if the laboring class is as assisted in commanding the respect of their community and remuneration for their labor the upper class would be more easily and financially supported, and then "think of the change." Continuing, he said. It is therefore incumbent upon such men and women of our community to march out under the guise of racial consciousness and do their bit for the good of the community and plant an everlasting standard for the benefit of their posterity. This co-operation, said he, with all the money that may be accumulated, cannot be a success without the help of honest, intelligent men and women, and it is therefore the time for the men and women of this community to stop knocking and inscribe their names on the pages of the future. Anybody in any part of Cuba can buy shares in this industrial venture. It is our one determination to plant a proper grocery in this town by our people; and for our people. And who knows but by the co-operative support of the people we shall in a short time be able to operate a tailoring department* a shoemaking department, a laundry and the hundred and one necessities of our community?

Liberty Hall. 929 Church street, was all ready Sunday afternoon, November 12, for a great meeting. The hall had been beautifully decorated by Mrs Laura Robinson and Mrs. Edith Brewster, assisted by many others. This ended the first month's drive on our building fund, which was a great success. All the twelve captains rejoiced with their lieutenant, Mr. Frederick A Brewster, for the success they have attained this month. The chapter is proud that its members are working in harmony and love with the president and officers. The time has come that Negroes must learn that the only way to achieve anything is to work together. Why should I stop working for a good cause because things don't go just like I want them'. The so-called big Negro started this just because he could not rule. This fellow would go and start something and get at the head of it and rule it to suit himself and then knock the former organization that he was once connected with and any other enterprise that seemed to progress to such an extent as to jeopardise his bread and butter. It is up to the little man—the man who makes his bread by the sweat of his brow to break up this condition if you leave it to this same class of Negroes—the so-called big four, we will forever be as we are—semi-slaves. Because, just as long as this so-called big fellow can make a desert living for himself and his family he does not care what becomes of the race Lawyer Davis speaks After addressing the president and members, he said, in part, "I am not here to make a speech Booker T. Washington used to say he saw a sign which read, 'Come and see one of the rarest things in the world' when you went in you would see four Negroes pulling and all of them would be pulling together. It has always been hard to get Negroes to work together. Mr Garvey has done at least one thing he has solicited and brought together more Negroes than any other person I know. I will have to know more than I do now before I can condemn his project. A Black Star Line and controlled by Negroes would naturally take some of the shipping business from the white steamship companies. I don't care if it has cost millions of dollars if it has brought millions of Negroes together it is worth every cent of the money. If Garvey is a dreamer that is all right because all races have a dreamer. The writer of this article says if Garvey is a dreamer and continues to dream as he has for the past four years, then dream on, Garvey. In conclusion the speaker said, The Negro has always needed a leader who could not be bought. It is said that large sums of money have been offered Mr Garvey to sell out but he would not. If this is true I love him for that alone. Before taking his seat, Mr Davis introduced Rev J H Billups, a prominent minister of this city. Owing to the lateness of the hour, Rev Billups made his speech very short. After addressing the president, officers, members and friends, he said in part "I will say what Lawyer Davis has said—any one who can get Negroes together in large numbers is a great man. If there is anything that the Negro needs it is a leader who will lead us right, a well-educated man. Our race has suffered much through ignorant leadership. I never did believe much in Booker T. Washington. No man need tell me that industrial education is the hope of my race. I am glad to know that the Negro has one man who can look a white man in the face without outscoring his head. I am glad to know that Garvey is a man who cannot be bought." Through the instrumentalities of our first vice-president, Mr Lonnie Williams, we were able to have these noted gentlemen with us. Mr Williams was master of ceremonies and had a wonderful program, which was rendered as follows Prayer, by our chaplain, Rev. De Voughn; welcoming address, Mr. Johnson; second vice-president, solo, I Want to See Jesus." Mrs. Wisdom, remarks, Mr. Robertson, contractor, solo, Misses Robertson and Maynor, a paper, Mr. Simson, solo, Mr. Will Peacock, a paper, Miss Viola Keel, piano solo, Miss Maynor. Owing to the fact that space is all ways limited we will only give a pair of Mrs Simson's beautiful speech follows: "To sons and daughters of Africa Briskly marching on. Raise your voice to Liberia- Garvey invites you home Help your neighbors kindly. Meeting day by day. Ease their heavy burden. Cheer them on their way Aid them in their business. When with care oppressed They profit most and just Who serve mankind the best To those who don't believe in This great U. N. J. A. Our aim is a noble one. One God, one aim, one destiny" When Mrs. Robinson closed this wonderful address she received a rousing applause. On Monday night, November 13, Mrs. Laura Robinson gave a wonderful play, entitled "The Million Dollar Wedding" This was a great success. On Tuesday night, November 14, our State Commissioner, Mr. S. A. Hayes, spoke to us. On this occasion Lawyer Hewlett from COM. S. A.

GUIANA On Thursday evening, September 21, at 8 p. m., the members of Division No. 61 assembled in their hall for the purpose of unveiling their charter. The hall was tastfully decorated. There was a large attendance of members, friends and sympathizers. After the opening ode the most vice-president, Mr. H J Cox, welcomed the visitors and called attention to the erroneous ideas existing as regards the scope and objects of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. The U. N. I. A. was not opposed to religion or good government; their aim was to pave the w v for the education, social progress and prosperity of the varied classes of the Negro race, and in so doing they would endeavor, no matter who opposed, to leave no stone unturned and use every means within their power until they had achieved their object, until the Negro race stood should to shoulder with all the other races. A solo was then sung by Mr Archer. The aims and objects were then explained by the second vice-president, Mr J Hewitt who also explained that Garveyism did not mean rebellion, but meant the good of the Negroes, a confaternity in our race, and to respect our women. We should follow the right ideas of eminent men. The Hon Marcus Garvey was our polar star therefore it was our duty to follow. The next item was a solo by Miss Mann, and a recitation by Miss Inen Benjamin, followed by the Potentnies hymn. Mr Beckles, president of the Barbados Division was received with an ovation. He brought greetings from Barbados, and after a prayer by the chapelain, Mr J Surgeant, the charter was unveiled by the president of Barbados and the first vice-president of that division Mr Beckles then addressed the evidence and in a speech bristling with historic facts showed that for intelligent, intelligence and industry the Negro has in all the centuries rendered a good account of himself. They had been trampled on and ill treated by other races but it was now time for them to awake and arise. They had an up hill task but, so long as they united they would not be impossible, and despite the criticisms of the detractors they would end long be able to compel their enemies to acknowledge their equality. The next item was a recitation by Miss Reece entitled A Tiny Bit of String. Mr Bowen, in a short, pitty speech called for race pride and proved that the leader of the movement was as great a one as any written of in history. A song was then rendered by Miss Mann. Mr Faber, treasurer of the division, demanded for Negroes perfect liberty, and insisted that attention should be given to industry as the chief means of making them independent. The Ethiopian National Anthem was then sung and three cheers were given for the President-General the Hon Marcus Garvey after which the meeting terminated Rheumatism Left Him As If By Magic Had Suffered Over 50 Years Now 83 Years, Yet a Big Surprise To Friends Regains Strength Goes Out Fishing Back to Business Laughs at "URIC ACID" How the "Inner Mysteries" Reveals Startling Facts Overlooked By Doctors and Scientists For Centuries "I am eighty-three years old and I doctored for rheumatism ever since I came out of the army over fifty years ago," writes J B. Aksman, "I like many others. I spent money on my own medical care and about Uric Acid until I could almost taste it. I could not sleep nights or walk without pain: my hands were so sore and stiff I could not hold a pen. But now, as if by magic, I could walk with me or write all day with comfort. Friends are surprised at the change." HOW IT HAPPENED Mr Asheiman is not only one of thousands who suffered for years, owing to the general belief in the old, false theory that "Uric Acid" causes rheumatism. This erroneous belief in- duced him and legions of unfortunate men and women to take wrong treatments. You might just as well attempt to pet out a fire with oil as to try and get rid of your rheumatism. Permit and like complaints by taking treatment supposed to drive Uric Acid out of your blood and any injury to the body may not be now know that Uric Acid never did, never can and never will cause rheumatism; that it is not natural to do it; it may continue of course blood, that it is found in every part of our body, and that without it we could not live. These statements may seem strange to some people who have all along been led to believe that the old "Uric Acid" bumbout. It took Mr. Heimann fifty years to find out the truth when the health of the women is to be 使人的 health from other disorders and recover strength from the inner "Mysteria." A certain number of people are not a distribution of free authority who devoted every family to a scientific study of this particular to a life in any reader of The Negro World blan the book that reveals these facts. The true cause and cure of rheumatism is not only a knowledge of doctors and scientists, but also a knowledge of the world's common centuries of simple and simple. In the matter of it, I can hear and see a small bit of an example of the common will. It is the most important result that this good news is come adults ATTENTION! MEMBERS OF THE ASSOCIATION ATTENTION! MEMBERS OF THE ASSOCIATION Members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association are to be on guard against a Rev. W. Alexander Charles, formerly of the Guantanamo Division No. 184. This Rev. Charles has been dismissed and discredited in that division for the misappropriation of funds. We understand that he is somewhere in Cuba. Let no division entertain him. ROBT. L. POSTON. FLOWER SERVICE HELD IN SAN MANUEL, CUBA October 29, 1922. The beautiful Church of San Manuel was tastefully decorated early on Sunday morning in preparation for holding the Flower Service during the day. There were three services for the day. The first service began at 11 a.m. The sermon was preached by our Adventist brother, Elder William of Delicios. The morning lessons were read by the Rev D. B. Ewart, the pastor in charge, and the teacher and lay reader of Vasques, Mr Cyril Piggot. The Rev D E Ewart presided also at the organ on all occasions. Quite a large crowd turned out to listen to the sermon of Elder Williams, which was very appropriate and edifying. He took his text from Proverbs 14 9. In his discourse he dwelt chiefly on the foolishness of sin and the damning effects it has upon those who practice it, whether it be an individual, a family or a nation. The afternoon service was conducted solely by Mr. Piggot all through. Quite a large crowd also turned out to hear him. His text was taken from St. Luke. 12 20· "Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee." Song by children, "Anniversary Greeting" Opening address by Chairman C Piggot.

S. A. EWART. HAPPENINGS IN CUBA A pretty little wedding took place in the Episcopal church in San Manuel, Cuba, on Saturday, November 4. The bridegroom was Mr. Joseph N. Gumba of Anguilla and the bride was Miss Florence E. Richardson, also of Anguilla. They are now living in the Chaparra Division. After returning from Puerto Padra, where they were married by the government, according to the laws of Cuba, they came to the church above mentioned, where the ring was put up and the blessing pronounced according to the rites of the church. Quite a goodly number of people turned out, although it was late in the evening, to see the ceremony. The bridegroom, accompanied by his best man and many of his friends and relatives came in and sat down awaiting the arrival of the bride. The bride entered about half an hour later, with the bridemaid and several other young ladies. They wended their way along the aisle to the altar, where the reverend gentleman stood, who read in a clear, audible tone the ceremony to the satisfaction of all who were present and heard. The bride and bridesmaids wore dresses beautifully trimmed with wreaths made of handsome artificial flowers. The bride was given away at the altar by Mr. Ford, a friend of the bridegroom. As the wedding party was preparing to leave, the church the choir, accompanied by the organ, sang THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1922 G MONEY BACK IF NOT SATISFIED All good druggista sell ZURA preparations or mail money order to the well-known tune, "By Cool Sloam's Shady Rill," and continued the singing until the visitors had left the edifice. On November 3 a work train ran into some cars that were left on a switch somewhere near the Chaparra factory, overturned and killed four men and wounded several others, who are now lying in hospitals in Chaparra. OAKLAND, CAL., DIV. NO. 188, REPORTS PROGRESS New determination and new life are strikingly in evidence at each assembling of the Oakland, Cal. division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Sunday afternoon Mr Clifford E Ware, a 100 per cent. Negro booster for the cause of African redemption, paid a ringing tribute to our indomitable leader and organizer, his excellency, Hon Marcus Garvey. The speaker told of the tremendous sacrifice of position, comfort and prestige that had been made by the president-general, when he determined to put into motion the grandest and noblest movement of the century. His eloquence and sincerity brought tears to the eyes of his hearers as he related the trials of our leader and the deplorable ingratitude of the race. From the "California Voice," November 3. Brilliant Speeches and Timely Remarks Characterize U. N. I. A. Mass Meeting The Sunday afternoon programs being rendered weekly at Carpenters Hall are vibrant with enthusiasm, wit and constructive logic. The increasing attendance augurs well for the future. Progressiveness permeates the atmosphere. Mr A. A. Jordan, a young man of unusual vocal ability and musical ability, has been appointed to the position of choir instructor and director. Mr Jordan is intensely interested in his work and has the success of the organization at heart. The secretary, Mr D. D J Jones, is proving his interest in the Juveniles by accepting the responsibility of training and instructing the little ones during the absence of Mrs. Z R. Williams, their beloved organizer. Little Joseph Johnson, chaplain of the Juvenile Branch, scored in his address when he told of 'the noticeable improvement' in his race and the possibilities of a brilliant future for himself and his "associates". The little prodigy was vigorously applauded and responded with an encore. "Black Psychology," a neat little recitation by the Collins girl, was well received and an excellent moral was taught. Mr. C. E. Ware, our recent candidate for the 29th Assembly, was speaker of the day. His subject was "Opportunity, activity and development." A handsome tribute was paid our local division on their recent determination to erect a steam laundry, where the boys and girls of the race might find employment. The speaker urged the Oakland division to take the lead and preserve the recognition accorded our recent delegate, Mr. John W. Fowler, appointed Minister of Labor and Industry. The address was indeed an oratorical masterpiece. Rev. Leo Johnson, preceding elder of the A. M. E. Zion di riot, was present, and in a few remarks acknowledged the splendid possibilities of the organization. The pastor believes that the churches should take the lead; he also expressed the necessity for clean, honest and intelligent leadership, warning us of the immense harm that "just a little learning" could cause. The drive for the laundry is now on, enthusiastic members literally besieging the secretary for quota cards, and all seemed anxious to be first to enroll as workers. "It must be done" spills the sentiment of each and every member. U. N. I. A. & A. C. L., OF TAMPICO TAMPS, MEXICO On Sunday, October 1, mark the Tampico Division of the U N I. A with one of the most remarkable and enthralling assemblages, though the evening was looking rather bleak, but in spite of that our members turned out splendidly, and learned of the new inscription of our Ambassadors at the League of Nationa. The meeting was called to order by the singing "From Greenlands' Ice Mountains." Then followed a prayer and the reading order of Sunday mass meeting by the chaplain, Mr. J H Paisley, a selection followed by the choir The proceedings of the meeting went on by the way of a program, of which the president, Mr. J. H. Thompson, the first speaker for the evening, delivered one of the most noteworthy addresses for the indescribable ethics of diplomacy, which was used by our representatives at the League of Nations, with which three cheers were given, and looking steadfastly at the Red, Black and Green, by which he says the U. N. I. A. is recognized as a world power. Mr H. J. Robinson, one of our complimentary speakers, was the next. His topic was "Preparedness." In defining his subject, he pointed out many active clients, where the Negro is quite capable of commanding a government of their own, and in conclusion he urged the community to adhere to his sentiments with deep thoughts or imperativeness towards the principles of the U. N. I. A. Let us lift it to the four corners of the earth that we may be made a free and an emancipated race or nation. A solo followed, rendered beautifully by Mru. A. B. Paisley. (Ringing applause). The next speaker was Mr. J H. Paisley, chaplain. His address was a scriptural subject, taken from the ninth Psalm, chapter 3, verse 3, with keen explanation.

The Ethiopian National Anthem followed, after which the meeting was brought to a close at 9.45 o'clock with three hearty cheers for our Hon. President-General. William Wells Brown tells an amusing story of a trip he once made by stage coach in an Ohio town, in 1844 "On entering the coach in a small village, I found there was a white passenger aboard, since I had paid for a seat on the inside, I took a seat. The white man betook himself to the out side and found a seat on the top of a trunk on top of the coach. The wire notting around the top of the stage coach not being strong, the white passenger, trunks and all, silld off as we were going down a steep hill. The top passenger's shoulder was distressed and, in his pain, he cried out, "If you had not been black, I should not have MADAM IDA B. JEFFER 10th EPISCOPAL DIST NORTH MADAM IDA B.

P. E. DILLON. Reporter. THE PASSING SHOW By JOHN EDWARD BRUCE A HEALER OF GREAT POWER left my seat inside." Too bad! What a tribute race prejudice pays to a black face. I was standing one day on the corner of Main street and Gerry Square, in Yonkers, one of the most congested corners in that city, when an old white woman, apparently 65 or 70 years passed and stopped within speaking distance of me and waited for an opportunity to cross the street. Each time she made an effort to cross a truck, or a street car, or a motor car would stop her, and she stepped back on the sidewalk. Finally, she said to me, "Won't you see me across the street?" I said, "Certainly, madame, with pleasure," and was soon at her side taking her by the fore arm with my hand. As I reached her, she wrenched her arm from my greap and said: "Don't touch me! I can't have that." I said, with a laugh, to the silly old thing: "Then paddle your own canoe." You are big enough," and went about my business. In a book printed in England in 1903, and called "The Preposterous Yankee," I find these bon mots: "One of the most fluent American orators, a statesman high in politics, who is well known in England, where he makes silver-tongued speeches—although whenever he returns from a European PERSON, EVANGELIST OF ST.

Marcus Garvey, which should have been called on the 27th of November, as per previous notice to Mr. Garvey's attorney, has been postponed. No data for the trial is fired. Mr. Garvey, who has up to now given the case very little consideration for the frivolousness of it, is as calm and undisturbed as ever. He will himself be very much amused at the prosecution's endeavor to make a criminal out of a man whose conscience is clear and who has committed no offense against society. If the prosecution is depending on the usual group of Uncle Tom Negro leaders to contact Mr. Garvey, it will be like depending on a broken stick. In the meanwhile the Universal Negro Improvement Association' is continuing its sweep of the world. IF U DON'T C CONSULTS DR.

For quite a while enemies of Marcus Garvey and the Universal Negro Improvement Association have been working for the purpose of turning public sentiment against Mr. Garvey. Different Negro associations have been canvassing the people, asking them to testify against Mr. Garvey "They have organized opposition meetings in different centers under the caption, "Garvey Must Go!"

C. With the advent of the steam laundry forty years ago began the gradual passing of the picturesque Negro washerwoman, arrayed in gingham apron, delivering the family wash. For a century or more the washing in certain sections of the country was done by colored people. The Department of Labor, through Phil H. Brown, Commissioner of Conciliation, instituted a survey to ascertain to what extent Negroes were still employed in the laundry industry Washington, D. C., was selected as a typical city for the investigation, and the result indicates that 644 per cent of a total of 1,540 workers of both colors and sexes engaged in the laundry business in Washington, D. C., are Negroes. This does not include Chinese and hand laundries, only those plants employing machinery. This per cent is based upon a total of 551 white and 998 colored workers, who are further divisible into 268 white males, 223 colored males, 282 white females and 776 colored females, the colored males and females forming, respectively, 144 per cent and 50 per cent of the grand total of 1,540 An analysis, by skill, of these workers after eliminating 196 unclassified workers, discloses the further fact that it takes 863 skilled workers, as against 490 unskilled workers, to conduct the plant laundry industry of Washington D. C. Colored skilled workers with a per cent of 572, are performing the bulk of the skilled duties, and of that per cent colored female workers with a per cent of 426, which is practically equal to the entire white increment, male and female, of 428 per cent, are performing virtually one-half of the entire skilled laundry work. Their male co-workers account for the remaining 146 per cent of the skilled work. Coming to the unskilled group of 490 workers, 73 white and 417 colored, it is found that the latter have a percentage of 85.1 as against 14.9 for the former and that the colored females, with a per cent of 74.1, are, as before, performing the greater part of all duties Colored males have an inclusion among the unskilled workers of 11 per cent. A further analysis was made, as far as possible, of the actual occupations of these workers, and it was found that they were principally distributed as follows Occupations. White Colored.

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.

While the above figures and facts do not depict the full circumstances of 100 per cent of the laundry workers of Washington, D.C. and while they must not be understood to have any reference to the many private workers who, as of yore, are still plying their trade with old customers who do not desire to utilize the modern and mechanical means of washing and ironing, yet it is beloved that the statistics submitted by the active plants which readily co-operated with the department in this study are thoroughly typical of normal local conditions, both as to the above plants and as to the very small increment remaining untabulated Clairmont Society Orchestra Music Furnished for All Occasions. 263 WEST 1444TH BREETT ORGELGE LAYNE.

Y. PROF. M. A. FIGUEROA, Editor Nuestra Lucha Por Escalar la Cumbre de Nuestras Aspira- ciones—La Emancipación Moral y Física de Nuestra Raza es Una Agitación Pacífica, Patrocinada Por la Mayor Parte de los Elementos que la Componen— Los que Se Oponen a Nuestro Movimiento, Han Demostrado Muy Poca ó Ninguna Confianza en Si Mismos—Ellos Tratan de Interceptar Nuestro Paso de Avance Se ha entablado universalmente una gran lucha por el establecimiento perpétuo de la libertad humana. En todos los países y bajo cualquier clima notamos una incestante agitación, la cual tiende a la emancipación moral y física del esclavo y del oprimido. En ciertos sitios esta agitación toma características de manifestaciones sangrientas, mientras que en otros se concreta exclusivamente a demostraciones pacíficas. Entre los timidos millones de oprimidos que protestan en contra del considerable número de vejámenes e insultos sobre ellos impuestos, se hallan cuatrocientos millones de Negros. Nosotros, los que constituimos la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra, creyendo siempre en la legalidad de nuestra causa, conducimos una agitación pacifica en pro de la libertad moral y material de la raza y de la absoluta independencia del siempre codiciado continente africano. En esta gran lucha por la realización de sus aspiraciones, la parte de la humanidad oprimida se ha visto siempre contrarrestada por los traidores de su propia raza, quienes con muy poca ó ninguna fe en sí mismos, son generalmente susceptibles en el negociado de los derechos de sus propios concuidanos y de su propio pueblo, a cambio de la adquisición de un mísero puñado de pesetas. Nosotros, como elementos de la Raza Negra, no estamos aún enteramente libres de tales encumbencias. Estamos en la completa convicción de que nuestra raza tiene entre sus elementos los peores traidores que raza alguna haya podido tener, por falta de la preparación adecuada que nos facilite ocupar el puesto correspondiente entre las razas y naciones del universo. Los traidores de otras razas son por regla general individuos irresponsables de sus actos, péro desgraciadamente los traidores entre nuestra raza se conceptuan elementos intelectuales, quienes se precian de ocupar los puestos sociales de mayor escala, por cuya razón juzgamos que actuen a conciencia. Recopilando los acontecimientos relacionados con nuestros propios intereses, vemos claramente que nuestra raza abriga en su seno mas traidores que directores. Aquellos que aspiran a dirección, se colócan, de primera intención, al lado de cualquier filántropo de otra raza, humillando su propia dignidad, con el objeto de ganar la simpatia del gran benefactor, quien ordenará al servil, eduque a su pueblo en la sumisión; a ser obedientes y leales servidores de sus amos. Por medio de las enseñanzas de esta clase de doctrina, los directores recibirán una renumeración que les facilite el soporte del periódico ó de la institución que representan. Estos señores directores de antifaz nos dicen, desde las columnas de sus publicaciones y desde la tribuna pública, de la bondad de sus benefactores y de la buena intención de elementos de otras razas para con la nuestra, recomendándonos el que coloquemos en manos de dichos benefactores la administración de nuestros propios intereses. Tal ha sido la clase de dirección que nuestra raza ha tenido que soportar durante los últimos cincuenta años, lo cual clasificamos de la peor clase de traición. El individuo que compromete la actitud de su propio país es un traidor; tal clasificación corresponde al individuo que compromete los derechos de su raza. Seremos victima de esta plaga destructora de civilización, toda vez que la mayoría de los elementos concientes de nuestra raza no se determinen a destruir esta degradación. La lucha por adquirir un puesto entre las razas y naciones del mundo es una ruda labor la cual requiere sacrificios en todas sus esferas. Aquellos que se sacrifican por el adelanto de su raza no han de recibir la aprobación de estos parásitos de profesión; por el contrario su actitud será considerada como una amenaza. Pero, qué importó la apreciación de Inglaterra a Robert Emmett en su lucha por la libertad de Irlanda? Qué importó el buen deseo de las clases aristocráticas de Rusia a Leon Tolstoi al inspirar en las masas sus propios derechos? Qué importó a George Washington la apreciación de Inglaterra, al blandir la espada por la independencia norteamericana? Por qué preocuparnos la malsana apreciación de los demas al defender una causa justificada en pro de la apreciación de nuestros derechos? THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1922 La Reforma de la Ley Inmigración Los escándalos revelados con motivo de diversos incidentes acaecidos en Ellis Island en la semana última, no requieren comentario alguno. Revelan, a decir verdad, más que irregularidades específicas y detalladas en determinados unpleados del departamento immigra.orio de Nueva York, según se dan a la publicidad, irregularidades en el sistema entero de leyes sobre la materia que ahora esta en vigencia. Puesta en vigor para reprimir la temida avalanche de emgrantes de la Europa en runas' al acabarse el gran conflicto, la legislación inmigratoria de los Estados Unidos, adolece ahora de una enorme, creciente y perjudicial nadecuacion para sus fines. Como arma de contención, como medida de defensa de urgencia, la ley de la restricción inmigratoria cumphio ya su objeto con creces. La pronosticada acumulación de trabajardes en el país, con el consiguiente malestar proletario creado por la escasez de empleados y la baja de jornales, fué ya evitada. Ahora, lo que hay, es más bien escasez de trabajadores. De e'la se resienten, y asi se declara todos los días autorizadamente, la industria, la agricultura, la minería. Pero no es solo el punto de vista immediatamente practico, sino el punto de vista transcendental humanario el que está traspasandose en estos momentos ya. Grandes contingentes de europeos de diversas regiones se dirigen a este país ahora, huyendo de condiciones espantosas en sus tierra de origen. Aqui tienen parientes, deudos, amigos, dispuestos a ayudarlos y a recibirlos. No parece justo, humano suquera, retornarlos a la horrible existencia de que se evadieron, a peligros espantos quiza, por insistir en una proporción ya innecesaria en la admission de inmigrantes. La impresión que flota en el ambiente de un proximo cambio en la ley, su reconocida injusticia, es la que da calor a los abusos que se han revelado ya y que probablemente han de hacerse más considerables cada dia. Sin duda en Washington han de oirse fin las quejas que llegan de todos lados. Y asi, debe esperarse que la investigación que ahora se iniciara no ha de tener el simple resultado de eliminar más o menos empleados de departamento de immigración, sino para el golpe de gracia a las barreras y restricciones excesivas que se mantienen actualmente al flujo razonable, necesario y beneficio de la immigration europea.—La Prensa, N. Y. El Presidente Harding Felicita al Brasil El Presidente Harding envio un mensaje de congratulación al nuevo presidente del Brasil, doctor Arturo Bernardes, el cual se encargó del poder. El mensaje dice así. En el aniversario del nacimiento de la república del Brasil, y con motivo de haber asumido su excelencia el alto cargo, mis compatriotas se unen a mi para dirigir mis más cordiales felicitaciones. Al rememorar el progreso espléndido realizado por vuestro país durante su historia, quedo apreciar la satisfacción que todo el Brasil debe sentir en este dia, y ruego accepteis la expresión de mis viviendas deseos por la gran prosperidad de la nación amiga bajo la sabia administración de usted y por la salud y felicidad de su excelencia. La Naturalización de los Japoneses La decisión de la suprema corte negando a los ciudadanos japoneses el derecho de nacionalizarse en los Estados Unidos coincidió con el di en que se cambian felicitaciones oficiales entre los gobierno japonés y de los Estados Unidos. La ocasion de ellas era el inversionario de la conferencia del desarme de Washington. El Japón la recordó aunque otras naciones no lo hicieron. No obstante, en aquella conferencia la discusión de los asuntos tocanes a la naturalización fue eliminada como una cuestión simplemente interior que cada nación tenía derecho de solucionar por si misma. De aquí que la decisión de la suprema corte, que llegó, por de contado, simplemente en el orden en que se pronuncian las resoluciones, no fuera tan inopportuna como puediera parecer. Nada ha cambiado realmente despuíme de la decisión de la corte. Simplemente reafirma previa decisiones judiciales e interpreta el verdadero propósito del congreso al poner en vigencia la ley de naturalización. Los japoneses entendieron perfectamente que bajo las leyes americanas el derecho de naturalización no les era concedido. A algunos de ellos, más deseos que los demás de la existencia de relaciones amistosas entre su país y el nuestro, la presentación nuevamente de esta cuestión en el momento actual parece una política equivocada. El magistrado Sutherland, al leer la decisión de la corte suprema se dio los mayores trabajos para eludir toda herida al orgullo japonés. Después de explicar que el único deber de la corte era asegurar y aplicar el significado de la ley del congreso, tuvo ciudad de asentir a la que se habia manifestado por los abogados en defensa de la cultura y prestigio japoneses manteniendo que no habia deseo de afirmar ninguna distinción racial ofensiva para ellos. Esto podra parecer un poco forzado a los mismos japoneses, pero para los americanos, de todos modos, debería hacer más profundo el concepto de la obligacion de conducirse hacia la obligacion en este país ya en todas partes con toda clase de equidad y cortesia y de respetar todos los derechos que tienen bajo las leyes internacionales y los tratados especiales —N Y.

Yo no estoy entrado de si la propaganda mundial de Vuestra Señoria cuenta con organo de publicidad en castellano; mas invoco cuanto de más caro os asista para que ese afortunado apostol sea a la mayor brevedad huesped en el palacio, en la modesta mansión, en la escuela, en la biblioteca, en el taller, en la diminuta propiedad agraria, en la escondida choza, alla, finalmente, donde una lumbre se necesita para vencer una tiniebla, un corazón acelere por el sus palpitaciones, y unas manos le retubuyan con caricias las fatigas de un viaje al través de los paises, de mares, de soledades, y una voz escapada de pecho alborozado hienda el aire diciendo: | Salve, oh nuncio de salud, hosanna a ti, que nos convidas al glorioso despertar! Una sección castellana de propaganda, que funcionara en la casa matriz de Nueva York, seria fuente de pingues rendimientos. Como se posicionaria de mis simpatias; con cuánta efusión colocaria yo una coma siquiera en esas páginas que volaran de la rotativa-ara libertadora del amenazante diluilo en pleno siglo XX, para decir a nuestros hermanos que moran en los cuatro puntos tardinales, la conunión del ideal! Autorizado por Vuestra Sefioria para difundir en esta amada tierra las ideas y doctrinas que vuestra elocuencia pregona, procederia a la fundación de una Oficina, templo edificado para congregar a los neofitos de la atrayente religión y hacerlos objeto de singulares atenciones y sefiladas prerrogativas, sin vedar sistematicamente la entrada al elemento blanco, pues semejante providencia seria contraproducente. Sometro respetuosamente a vuestro estudio esta insinuación. No quiero insistir en que lo que aqui cosigne, son generalidades, en manera alguna detalles, puesto que no puedo extremar mi incontinencia hasta el abuso de la bondad con que robaréis tiempo a múltiples quehaceres para revisar estas páginas. JONDE APREMIA EJER- CER DOMINIO PARA ASEGUR RAR EL APIANZAMIENTO DE LA ASOCIACIÓN EN COLOMBIA; PARA DAR AL NEGRO UN SUBSISTIR Y UN PRO- PERAR PERMANENTE El Valle del Cauca es la región más privilegiada de Colombia, por su exuberante y pródiga secundidad, por su diverso clima y, por su cancela a la artoria de Panama. Por allos consecriones en la abrigada de opinión de que se preforresemenita ganadera, y en consecuencia han procedido acaudalados habitantes suyos; mas ello no es así, y unicamente la desidia que por calamidad nos distingue y el poseer vastos fondos que invitan a la cria sin mayores fatigas y sin riego para los desembolos, han retardado el incremento de la agricultura, indicada por la naturalezela como sehora de este suelo sumiso a todos los cultivos. En la parte plana del Departa- mento, o lo que vale decir con ex- tud en el Valle mismo, se producen a entera satisfaccion todos los frutos de la zona, y a corta distancia, al ascender las dos cordilleras que lo limitan, encuentranse campos que rivalzan con la Sabana de Bogotá para la siembra de papa y trigo de frutos de temperatura riguro- amente fria, tales como la desconocida y deliciosa curuba y la mora gigantecas, de que hablo el sefor doctor Wilson Popennoe. Comisionado del Ministerio de Agricultura de Washington, joven naturalista a quien me fue dado tratar en 1919. El mañana demostrará cómo el incremento de población en el Valle, desalojará rápidamente los rebajos de la parte baja y los recluirá a los pastos altos que de igual modo ceban las reses con no despreciable utilizad de tiempo y las preservan de ruñosas y mortiferas plagas. Quien domine la agricultura en esos muy cercanos días, manejará una de las arcas en el litoral Pacífico colombiano, quiérano o no lo quieran autores de otros calculos. Ya tenco expuesto que el negro es el hombre mejor dotado para resistor las incicencias de este ambiente; luego por naturalza egrime armas mejoras para derrotar; y como nuestro hermano siente vocación por las faenas rurales ydstas son las que con más prodigialidad enquecen al individuo y a los pueblos, irrecusamente hemos de concluir que quien domina las causas, los efectos domina; que quien sjembra, recoge; que quien primero incio la jornada, logra primacia en el beneficito del reposo. El Comercio será hermano fidelismo de la agricultura; ya como tales, se complementarán mutuamente. Por lo tanto, como en este ramo vuestros progresos nada tienen qué enviiar, aca el exito satisfaria en el establecimiento de almacenes bajo el sistema de cooperativas, que harian irresistible la competencia para otros menos bien condicionados. Esta Provincia se revestirá de esplendor y dejará atrás al mismo antiguo y activo Cali, de quien es despensa; sin embargo, a cualquier viadero jajero deshino destino. Facilidades existen para dotar unificamente no ya al Palmira de hoy sino al Palmira de siglos adelante; pero la reducida fortuna de los particulares y probablemente cierta tibiae del espiritu público, tienen aplazada indefinidad la obra del acueducto. El capital que en esta empresa se invirtiera, seria reembsado con creches en el transcurso de breves afitos; atraerianse familias de ciudades del Valle y de otros Departamentos, que no se radican en la localidad por el justo temor que en cuanto a salubridades infunde la escasez del agua. Qué satisfactorio negocio para una firma singular o colectiva de nuestros hermanos de Estados Unidos! Ni fuera cuerdo relegar al olvido el avance intelectual. A este fin, una escuela con enseñanza primaria y secundaria, provisto de cuanto la pedagoga moderna indica, evitaria que los negros dejas escapar de sus manos la nueva prenda que vuestro amor les dispensas, "La escuela es la arena del combate, el albafeto es el llabaró cuyo lema dice: 'Con este signo venceras'." No quiero, no puedo concluir, Honorable Garvey, sin confesar que colmaráis una juvenil y cordial aspiración mía si designárás un Delegato que efectuase una visita de estudio por Colombia; visita que, principiada en Buenaventura, finalizará por nuestros puertos del Atlántico; que encerrará en su itinerario el Sur, el Centro y el Norte de la República, sin omitir el Choco, tierra de fabulosos tesoros, donde millares de mineros nos arrancan a la profundidades de aquella Intendencia, el petróleo, la plata, el oro y el platino, además del henequén y otras plantas industriales que en su suelo brotan. Abolición del Sultanato Tureo Mohamed VI, sultan de Turquia, ha caído al empuje de sus propios subdita y con el acaba la más poderosa de las diastias turcas; la casa de Oman. Los kemalistas, con fanalismo que haz seguido el tiempo los turcos en la victoria, as han sido control, sus propias tradiciones y instituciones persulcas y por medio de decruta de su propia amabilia ha desviado el defilogo no del eulán y corrado la jinge de su decadente diastasis. Con la constante closa de Mohamed VI de la amabilia --- vierte en simple recuerdo histórico, y en su lugar surge el estado nacional turco. El sultan depuesto er el trigósimo sexto descendiente de Othman u Osman, fundador del imperio otomano. Su casa era una de las más antiguas reinantes dinastias del mundo. Se elevó al poder mediante la sujección de sus más poderosos rivales, los dominadores de los turcos seljuk, y en su victoria que brantó tan completeness el poder de sus enemigos que nunca volvieron a desafiar con éxito su poder. Esta fué la que llevo a os turcos a Europa con la destrucción del imperio bizantino y con su instauración en Constantinopla. Fué Mohamed II, el séptimo de la linea dinástica, que hizo esta conquista y después do el treinta sultanes osmanll han gobernado en Europa. Los turcos bajo el gobierno de la casa de Osman extendiéronse en sus conquistas por Persia, y el Asia Central hacía el este. En Europa barrieren cuanto encontraron ante si traves del valle del Danubio y llevaron sus espadas y antorcitas hasta las llanuras hungaras casi bajo los muros de Viena. La Europa occidental templo ante esta emanaza creciente del Islam, pero dejó a Austria sola para hacer frente al peligro. Los Osman de aquellos tiempos fundaron la política que sus sucesores siguieron simple al negociar con Europa. Los sultanes osmanes fracasaron en sus conquistas occidentales, no por la oposición de Europa sinor por su propia debilidad. Sus propios actos de desgobierno, su opresión y crueldad, los incapacitaron para gobernar. Su dominio europeo se les escapó y en los días de Abdul Hamid, el último autocrata de la lines, se limitaban a aisirse a las margenes del Boforso. Su sucesor, Mahomad V fue simplementa una herramienta en las manos de una pandilla miserable de aventureros y cuando se elevó al poder a su heredero Mahomed MI apenas tenia una aparición de autoridad y con sólo un soplo se terminó su reinado y la línea de su dinastia.
