SENEGALESE NEGRO DEPUTY TRAITOR TO HIS COUNTRY, AFRICA

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

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.

HON. MARCUS GARVEY'S SPEECH
Hon. Marcus Garvey spoke as fol-

My subject for a few minutes tonight
ts “The Burden of Leading the Negro.”
1 have always from a child been will-
ing to work. I have never yet shirked
Isbor of any kind When I was four-
teen I was doing © man's job, and 1
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 20
hard and dimoult in all the world until
I got into the Job of leading the Uni-
vereal 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 dle on the
Job, because I talked too much; I mean
by that that I aid loo much, and be-
cetise Lhave said so much I have to die
on thejob.
‘An fdedare nave had their troubies
and trian There hes never bosn 2
movement whbre the leader has not
euftared for the cause and not received
the ingratitude of the people, and 1
like the rest am prepared for the con-
eequences, Those bf us who lead are
not locking for reward, but the greater
satisfaction comes to us when we know
that we people whom we are leading
are appreciative for thelr own good.

The Bupreme Court held that theas
restrictions stil apply The subject
has been 19 con roversy for several

Associate Justice Bu'heriand who
delivered the decision ruled that as
the Japanes are not of the Caucasian

or modified.

The refusal was based on the State

On appeal to the lower Federal

the case was appealed. The Federal

Ablo to discuss frankly the sltuation

for the need of American Interv-ntion

The United States. he declared, must
take a decisive role tn reparations eat-
‘lement by naming official delegates to
the commission. It must be umpire for
Europe. Untess America does this, Dr
Wirth foresees, utter ruin and Bolshe-

For himself, ho said he was deter-
mined to carry on, playing a part in
the Reichtag somewhat similar to that

it now appears that nobody in America

“Who Ia to settle the European prob-
lem which now has become a world
problem—not politicians, not Premier
Poincaire.” Wirth continued. “America
must take @ hand as goon as possible
and must call a conference which will
deal with the problem from an eco-
nomic viewpoint,
“America now has two gentlemen—
they are very fine gentlemen, too—on
the Reparations Commission, but why
doesn't America have official repre-
sentatives? America must have official

NEW PARTY CON-
VENTION UNDER WAY
The following interview was given
out today by the Committes of 48 from
ite national beadquarters, 18 East 40th
street, through Ite exeoutive chairman,
Mr. J A. H. Hopkins, who bas been
singularly accurate in his pre-election
forecasts, Mr. Hopkins eald:
‘The outstanding features of the eleo-
ton returns are the triumph of eo-
nomi progressiviem. and the tact that
the American public disregarded party
labels and voted for men and measures.
“Ae a result the new party move-
ment was established as © politioal
entity in Delaware ané Pennsylvanis,
and Gleplaoed the Democratic party as
major party In Minnesota, Idaho and
Gouth Dakote, where the new party
now occupies elther ‘first or second
place In Wisconsin, the Democratic
Darty loet tte identity altogether. On
the other hand. the Republican party.
Uke the Democratic party in 1920, was
emphatically repudiated, and its most
prominent leaders tp the Genate and
the House were disestroualy defeated.
These are the aignificant facte which
constitute the handwriting ca the wail.
“The election of Demooratio candl-
dates in some States was due to the
lack of progressive organisation tn
these Btates, and dose not, tn any way,
tndioate a revival of confidence in the
Democratio party. ‘This s borne out
by an analysis of the returns,
“Brockhart in Towa, Ghipetead ts
Minnesota, LeFotlette im Wieconsin,
Wheeler in Montana, Howell and
Bryan th Nebraska, Frasier and @in-
ctatr im Notth Daketa, and Walton to
Oktahoma, were elected, not besause

“In the 1922 election the voters of the

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. We see it exemplified in the attitude of the little Negro boy and girl Boy

Scout and 4irl Black Cross nurses are examples of the earnestness and changed thoughts permeating the youth of the race of today, an overmastering desire to live or die. Ethiopia is surely stretching out her hands unto God. 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.

THE VALUE OF A
TRUE CHARACTER
---
In a world which is torn at this time because men have forgotten the principles of true character; in a world which is so distressed at this moment because men have forgotten Him who is the base and apex of true character; in a world which is so sad at this time because men have ignored the fundamental principles of true brotherhood, which is based upon true character. 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.

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.

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"

"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.

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.
THE BIG FIRE
Hush' Why this crackling, roaring sound?
This din and bumble all around?
The voice of humann in the air,
And horns' hoofs that sound so near?
The dogs all barking on the streets,
The cows a-lowing in the barn?
A siren's blast' Well, what's this?
Be careful dear, you may tumble down
Fire' Fire' Fire' sounded through the air,
In terror to the window sprang,
I wheeled and caught my baby dear
And ran, my stockings on the ground,
The sun was hidden from our view,
The smoke so dense, the fire near,
And say, this story is quite true,
My baby fainted Help was rare.
I fell upon the ground and cried,
"O God of heaven, send help tonight."
And are the words had fallen wi'd
A great big auto hove in slight.
The kindly driver, bent on aid,
Stopped the big car right where I
loid.
He took the baby from my grip
And I rushed inside for the trip.
Rush! Rush! The baby's fainted long,
Skies heavy, the fire crackles on;
There's water in the distant clear;
Rush! Rush! It's time that we were
there.
The willing driver sped along
Through bush and stones and piles
of thorns;
We reached the water's cooling side,
And tharked high heaven for our
lives.

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

field of universal intelligence hitherto unexplored, thereby reducing to a corresponding degree the area N. 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.
Let O be the circle representing sum total of universal intelligence. Let M be man's kingdom. Let N be the segment unexplored by man. Suppose an event occurs at P, i.e., outside of M. We call it supernatural, supernatural, miraculous. The prefixes simply mean outside the field of M. They have no moral value as such. (a) It is nature's naturing (see Spinoga) NOT understood as yet by man, or (b) Cosmos's functioning as yet NOT understood by man, or (c) God's working (Miracle) as yet NOT understood by man.
The second (b) may be the language of science.
The third (c) may be the language of theology.

THE NEWS AND VIEWS OF U.N.I.A. 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

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.

Dear Friends and Fellow Negroes.
It behooves me as your representative before the Third International Convention of the Negro Peoples of the World to say to you at this time that it is expected of you that you bear yourselves like good men and true, worthily striving to uphold the principles of the great organization with which we have linked our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor.
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. All must help to shape the destiny of this great race of ours.
I believe in the righteousness of the cause with which we are aligned, and I also firmly believe that you and all the others who have linked up themselves with this organization are thoroughly convinced in the justice of the cause, therefore I am taking this opportunity to say to you that we must be prepared for the ordreals through which we shall have to pass are we reach the goal to which we have set our faces. We have no child's task in front of us, but with a knowledge that what we seek is right, and a faith in the God who shapes the destinies of men and nations, and confidence in the race of ours, and in the hope that we shall live up to all that is expected of us in every respect, let us go boldly forward, knowing that success must eventually crown our efforts, and that the time is not far distant when we shall see the Negro respected by his fellowmen and accorded his rightful place among the sons of men.
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. Let nothing turn us away from the goal of our desires, and it shall be that the great God whom we serve. He who in times past shielded and directed us, will give us the victory we seek. Let us prepare to work for Negro uplift and emancipation as we have never worked before. Let us be willing to make sacrifices that no other race has made before. Let us be willing to go

forth to the great adventure filled with a burning desire to carve our names on the pages of fame and to leave a heritage of achievement and accomplishment, of daring and attainment which no race of man has ever yet bequested their posterity. If we are willing for this (and God knows that the sons and daughters of Ham are willing) then success will, must, and shall eventually come to us. Therefore, my brethren, set your faces to the goal which we have before us, fill your souls with holy fire, with hope, with courage, with inspiration, with vivid, brilliant imagination, with living, burning thoughts, and be charged with a determination that will not yield to anything under the heavens. Hencorf for us let it be "Advance, advance, to victory."
And now, commending you and yours to the care, and guidance, and tender keeping of Him who made the world, and illis men's souls with visions rich and rare, and prepares them for the conflict with the powers of earth and hell, and feeling confident that naught will make you falter, make you fall. I have the honor to remain, yours for the uplift of this race of ours.

COMMISSIONER S. A. 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.

LADY PRESIDENT BRINGING
TERRE HAUTE (IND.)
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.

LIKE A BEATEN ANVIL
‘The Terre Haute Division ie stil
trying to hold on to this great cause
Nua Peat she can with her tow loyal
officers and members who still have
the epirit of the New Negro. In spite
of every hardship the Division ts
undergoing, ahe Is determined to put
this program over the top for the bet-
terment of the younger generation.
‘The meeting was opened with the
Vice-President. Rev Eric Brown pre-
siging, as the President, ar CoM
Windush, was calied out of the city
on particular business.
After the mecting was properly
opened the program was begun, which
was as todows:
Opening song, “From Greenland « Icy
Mountains, by congregation
Prayer, led by Rev Eric Brown.
Gong. “America.” by congregation
Gong. “Ethlopian Anthem,’ by con
srogation.
Talk by Mr Ernest Hamilton whose
subject wae “Should Ethiopia Get To-
wether?” He deciared that he had seen
no other organisation yet that stood
for auch & good cause, of one that has
fot so many Negroes together in
fo abort a time. It Je essential for the
Negroes to get topether if they ever
expect to accomp'leh anything He
atso anid that he had never acon a
man as brave ae the Hon Marcum
Garvey, who was at any time ready to
Eive hie life for the Negroes of the
world.
Next on the program was s talk by
the Lady President, Mra. Hallle Brown
She asid that she believes that now
the Negroes are determined to go for-
ward am not backward. The reason
the pooblp who have not jolned the
Division have not done so Is because
they have not yet got the real under
standing as to what the association
stands for. Many other things were
said by ber to encourage the Division
to a0 on.
The next speaker was Mr. Woodsen,
& man who represents the American
Woodman lodge. He stated that for
the last fifty years wo haven't been!
doing anything but taking care of the |
alck and burying the dead. The biack
People are looking for something else
now. We can nover get this thing that
we want until we unite for the pro-
tection of the race. We must open
employment for our young people, be-
cause it ie just as much a crime to
educate your boy or girl and then have
no place for them to go ax 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. Erio Brown. Ho |;
spoke right to the point, telling the].

Patronize Your Own Industries!
Fellow Members of the Negro Race: .
Why not support your own industries and help to find em-
ployment for your Race? .
Every penny or every dollar you spend with the Universal
Negro Improvement Association helps to strengthen the financial
standing of the Race. The more you patronize your own enter-
rises the more will we be able to employ more members of our
Race. Already we employ about five thousand Negres all over
America and about four thousand abroad. In New York alone,
we employ over two hundred.
If you expect the race to grow financially; if you expect the
race to become economically independent; if you expect the race
to be respected generally; if you expect us to run more factories
* ‘and operate more «nterprises; if you expect us to employ more
Negroes; then you must support the enterprises we have already
started.
the following enterprises are now operated by the Universal
Negro Improvement Associaticn through the African Com!nuni-
ties’ League and the Negro Factories’ Corporation:

The case against the Honorable Marcus Garvey, Ellie Garcia and George Tobias of the Black Star Line for alleged misuse of the United States malls will be called some time this month in New York. 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!" All this is being done to defeat the hopes of our race through the only real Negro movement started in the interest of the race.
The fight for African freedom is eternal and you must support it now by supporting the greatest leader of the race. Send in your subscription to this fund immediately. All subscriptions will be acknowledged in the columns of this paper.
The case will be reported day by day in the Daily Negro Times and weekly in this paper for universal circulation. Send all subscriptions addressed to Secretary-Genera Universal Negro Improvement Association. 88 West 135th street, New York city, N. Y.

NEGRO LAUNDRY WORKERS OF WASHINGTON, D. 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

From the above it is apparent that Negro workers have mastered every art and trade of the laundry industry on through its development from the hand to the machine processes and that their female wing has advanced, along with the whites, far beyond the stages of apprenticeship.
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

Los escandalos revelados con mo-
tivo de diversos incidentes acaccido:

Revelan, a decir verdad, mis. que
urregularidades especifieas y detalla

entero de leyes sobre la materia que

Puesta en vigor para reprimir fs
temida avalancha de, emgrantes de

gratoria de los Estados Unidos, ado.
Tece ahora de una enorme, creciente
y perjudirial .nadecuacion para sus
fines, Como arma de contencién.
‘como medida de defensa de urgen-
cia, la ley de la restriccién inmigra-
toria cumpho ya su objeto con cre
ces. La pronosticada acumulacién
de trabajarodes en el pais, con el
jconsiguiente malestar proletano

la baja de jomales, {ué ya evitada
Ahora, lo que hay, es mis bien
escaser de trabajodores. De e'la se
resienten, y asi se declara todos los
dias autorizadamente, Ia industria,
Ja agricultura, la mineria.
Pero no ¢s sdlo el punto de vista
inmediatamente prictico, sino. el
punto de vista transcendental hu-
manitano el que esta traspasindose
en estos momentos ya. Grandes con-
tingentes de europeos de diversas
regiones se dirigen a este pais ahora,
huyendo de condiciones espantosas
en sus tierras de origen. Aqui tienen
parientes, deudos, amigos, dispues-
tos a ayudarlos y a recibitlos.” No
parece justo, humano siquiera, re-
tornarlos a la horrible existencia de
que se evadieron, a peligros espan-
tose8 gue, por insstir en una ro:
porcién ya innecesaria en la admi-
sign de mmigrantes.
La impresién que flota en el am-
biente 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 mas considerables
cada dia, Sin duda en Washington
han de creel fn fas quejas que le
gan de todos lados. Y asi, debe
esperarse que la investigacidn que
ahora se iniciara no ha de tener el
simple resultado de eliminar mas 6
menos empleados del departamento
de inmugraci6n, sino para el golpe de
gracia a las barreras y restricciones
excesivas que se mantienen actual-

Nuestra Lucha Por Escalar la Cumbre de Nuestras Aspira-
ciones—La Emancipacién Moral y Fisica de Nuestra
Raza es Una Agitacién Pacifica, Patrocinada Por In
Mayor Paste de‘los Elementos que la Componen—
Los que Se Oponen a Nuestro Movimiento, Han
Demostrado Muy Poca 6 Ninguns Confianza en Si
Mismos—Ellos Tratan de Interceptar Nuestro Paso
de Avance
DS eR: Pe: Te
todos los pafses y bajo cualquief clima notamos una in-
cestante agitacion, la cual tiende a la emancipacién moral
y fisica del esclavo y del oprimido. En ciertos sitios esta
agitacién toma caracteres de manifestaciones sangrientas,
mientras que en otros se concreta exclusivamente a
demostraciones pacificas.
Entre los timidos millones de oprimidos que protestan
en contra del considerable numero de vej4menes e insultos
sobre ellos impuestos, se hallan cuatrocientos millones de
Negros. Nosotros, los que constituimos la Asociacién
Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra, creyendo
siempre en la legalidad de nuestra causa, conducimos una
agitacién 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 realizacién de sus aspira-
ciones, la parte de la humanidad oprimida se ha visto
siempre contrarrestada por los traidores de su propia raza,
quienes con muy poca 6 ninguna fé en si mismos, son
generalmente susceptibles en el negociado de los derechos
le sus propios conciudadanos y de su propio pueblo, a
amb:o de la adquisicién de un misero pufado de pesetas.
josotros, como elementos de la Raza Negra, no estamos
qun enteramente libres de tales encumbepcias. .
& Estamos en la completa conviccién de que nuestra raza
e entre sus elementos los peores traidores que raza
“‘alyuna haya podido tener, por falta de la preparacién
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, pero desgraciadamente les traidores entre
nuestra raza se conceptuan elementos intelectuales, quienes
se precian de ocupar los puestos sociales de mayor escala,
por cuya razon juzgamos que actuen a conciencia, ~
Recopilando los acontécimientos relacionados con
nuestros propios intereses, vemos claramente que nuestra
raza abriga cn su seno mas traidores que directores.
Aquellos que aspiran a direccién, se coldcan, de primera
intencién, al lado de cualquier filantropo de otra raza,
humillando su propia dignidad, con el objeto de ganar la
simpatia del gran benefactor, qrien ordenard al servil,
eduque a su pueblo cn la sumisién; a ser obedientes y
leales servide -es de sus amos. Por medio de Jas enseflanzas
de esta clase de doctrina, los directores recibiran una
renumeraci6n que les facilite el soporte del periédico 6 de
la instituci6n que representan.
Estos seflores directores de antifaz nos dicen, desde
las columnas de sus publicaciones y desde la tribuna
publica, de la bondad de sus benefactores y de la buena
intencién de clementgs de otras razas para con la nuestra,
recomendindonos el que coloquemos en manos de dichos
benefactores la administracién de nuestros propios
intereses.
Tal ha sido la clase de direccién que nuestra raza ha
tenido que Soportar durante los ultimos cincuenta afios, lo
cual clasificamos de la peor clase de traicién. El individuo
que compromete la actitud de su propio pais es un traidor;
tal clasificacién corresponde al individuo que compromete
los derechos de su raza. Seremos victima de esta plaga
destructora de civilizaci6n, toda vez que la mayorfa de los
elementos concientes de nuestra raza no se determinen 2
destruir esta degradaci6n.
La lucha por adquirir un puesto entre las razas y
naciones del mundo es una ruda labor la cual requicre
sacrificios en todas sus esferas. Aquellos que se sacrifican
por el adelanto de su raza no han de recibir la aprobacién
de estos pardsitos de profesién; por el contrario su actitud
ser considerada como una amenaza. Pero, gqué tmport6

Por la libertad de Irlanda? Qué importé ef buen deseo

EI Presidente Harding envio un
mensaje de congratulacién al nuevo
presidente del Brasil, doctor Arturo
jernardes, el cual se encargé del
poder. El mensaje dice asi:

tivo de haber asumido su excelencia

La Naturalizacién de los
Japoneses
La decisién de la suprema corte
negando a los ciudadanos japoneses
el derecho de nacionalizarse en los
Estados Unidos coincidié con el dia
en que se cambiaban felicitgciones
oficiales entre los gphgrmee japonés
7 de ios Estados Unites. Ly vce
sin de ellas era el aniversario de la
conferencia del desarme de Wash-
ington. El Japén la recordé aun-
que otras naciones no lo hicieron.
No obstante, en aquella conferencia
la discusién de los asuntos tocantes
a la naturalizacién fué elimmnada
como una cuestién simplemente in-
‘terior que cada nacin tenia derecho
de solucionar por si misma. De
agui que la decisin de la suprema
corte, que fleg, por de contado,
‘simplemente en el arden en que se
pronuncian las resoluciones, no fue-
ra tan inoportuna como puediera
parecer.
Nada ha cambiado realmente des-
pues de la decision de la corte. Sim-
plemente reafirma prevais decisiones
judiciales ¢ inverpresa el verdadero
Propdsito del congreso al poner en
vigencia la ley de naturalizacién,
Los japoneses entendieron perfecta-
mente que bajo las leyes ‘americanas
el derecho de naturalizacién no les
era concedido. A algunos de ellos,
més deseosos que los demas de la
existencia de relaciones amistosas
entre su pais y el nuestro, la presen-
tacién nuevamente de esta cuestién
en el momento actus! parece una
politica equivocada.

deseo de afirmar ninguna distincién

podra parecer un poco forzado a los

hacer mas profundo el concepto de

Ni freir patatas.

Coger una escoba
Y barrer la sala,
Ni hacer un cocido,
Ni dar dos puntadas.
