The Negro World

The Difference Between the Universal Negro Improvement Association and the DuBois Propaganda VOL. XIII. No. 16 The Chicago "Blade," a white weekly newspaper published in the City of Chicago, delights itself in publishing weekly pointed articles bearing on the presence of the Negro in America and his future, as well as his relationship to the great white race. At times we read some stinging comments in that paper about our people. This week I am publishing an article entitled "First Steps Toward Race Security," by John C. Adams, culled from the "Blade." The article speaks for itself. It also suggests that the propaganda and program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association are based upon facts and good reason, and that our organization has a thorough grasp of the situation of the race, as well as a perfect knowledge of the white man's attitude toward us as a people. BELIEVING IN RACE Professor Adams, as a white man, is a great race advocate. He believes in the eternal supremacy of the white race. No one will blame him for that. It is for the Negro to believe in the eternal supremacy of his race. That is just where the Universal Negro Improvement Association divides from the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and Marcus Garvey differs from W. E. B. Du Bois. Du Bois and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People believe that in time the white man in America will open his arms and receive the Negro as a brother, willing then to share with him all the rights of citizenship and to admit him as his social equal. They are agitating and working toward this end in that association. The Universal Negro Improvement Association and Marcus Garvey believe the time will never come when the white man in America will extend to the Negro his true constitutional rights and admit him as a social equal. You are asked to read thoroughly this article of Professor Adams and draw your own conclusions. Suffice it to say, however, that for any Negro to believe that the white man is going to tolerate us permanently as a political force or as industrial or social competitors is to hope that the devil will once more be restored to Paradise in NEW YORK, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1922 Between the Univ sociation and the I OUTSPOKEN WITE MAN WRITES ON RACE QUESTION THINKS POLITICAL POWER SHOULD BE TAKEN FROM THE BLACKS AMERICA A WHITE MAN'S COUNTRY, SAYS WRITER--ARRANGING NOW FOR THE EXTERMINATION OF NEGROES the full authority of his office before he was thrown out of heaven. Following is the article: FIRST STEPS TOWARD RACE SECURITY By PROF. JOHN C. ADAMS More than two million persons in the United States have a mixture of white and black blood in their veins. It is not the purpose of this article to discuss who is to blame for that. If the white man is chiefly responsible, or if the Negro is responsible, the fact that we have two million persons of white and black blood is not changed, and fixing the responsibility doesn't meet the problems of the future. There may be no danger of an immediate contest between the white blood and the colored bloods for world supremacy, but the conquest of the white race by colored bloods through intermarriage and interbreeding without the formality of marriage has been going on for many years and today is an immediate menace to the security of the white race. It is foolish to refuse to recognize facts. Whoever says there is no "color line" in the United States is guilty of this foolishness. Theory is one thing, practice quite another. We have tried to establish a theory by law but the practice of the country doesn't live up to the theory and the popular sentiment of the country is not favorable to the law. As long as the instinct of self preservation persists in the white race, the color line will be drawn and it ought to be more sharply drawn than at present both for the welfare of the white race and the colored races. Twenty five years ago that was the general attitude about consumption. If a person had tuberculosis they referred to it as "throat trouble" and it wasn't polite to talk about it. Consumption was on the increase then. Finally we came to realize that this disease was a national menace. We talked about it. We discussed ways and means of preventing it. We found out that, if taken in time, it was not necessarily fatal. A year ago when the Blade began to talk about the race question no other paper in the United States would discuss the subject openly and frankly. Today some of the leading daily papers, always the last to touch a debatable subject, are discussing the race question. In a short article it is impossible to discuss all the phases of this question as they are presented in the United States, but here are two phases of it which are at the base of our whole problem. We must stop miscogenation. We must eliminate the possibility of political domination of whites by blacks. Interbreeding of Whites and Blacks The white man contributes as much, if not more, to inter-breeding of whites and blacks than do the blacks. Therefore our preventive measures ought to apply with equal force to both races. We have heard much of "gland" operations recently. We shall hear more about "gland" operations before we are through with car race problem, for the time will come when the penalty for the man who has intercourse with a woman of another blood race will be the operation that will deprive him of the life-producing glands. Sterilization of this sort is practiced in the United States under certain conditions. It ought to be practiced in all cases where men seek satisfaction of their passions with a woman of another blood. This should be made a legal penalty to be administered by a legal agency. We know that feeble-mindedness is increasing at an alarming rate in the United States. We know, too, that we have thousands of habitual criminals. Feeble-minded persons and habitual criminals ought not to be allowed to perpetuate their strains on the human race. The "gland" operation would prevent that. In the United States the number of white women who would willingly cohabit with a Negro is negligible. The Negro who satisfies his lust on a white woman generally has to resort to violence. Rape is a capital offense in some States. In those States where it calls for a prison sentence the law should be amended and provide that the culprit should be sterilized in addition to his jail sentence. The white man who will cohabit or have intercourse with a woman of another blood is not mentally right and those who are of unsound mind ought not to --- be permitted to breed. Therefore sterilization kills two birds with one stone if it is made the penalty for such misconduct. Race Security The next step in race security is to see to it that the white race which established this Government maintains its political power. The ballot should be reserved for white citizens, indeed, citizenship itself ought to be the privilege of whites only. We have shown in a previous article that the Negro votes not only decided elections in many States, but, under certain conditions, the Negro votes could elect a President of the United States. When the Constitution of the United States was amended and the ballot placed in the hands of the then ignorant blacks who had just stepped out of slavery, no one ever dreamed that the day would come when it would be possible for the Negro to elect Presidents. If we continue as at present for another fifty years, it will not be surprising if we have a Negro President elected by Negro votes and we shall then have a spectacular demonstration of the dangers of permitting colored bloods to have a voice in white men's governments. The political security of the United States as a white man's government depends in large measure on early changes in our Federal Constitution, again placing the ballot in the keeping of white citizens and making the qualifications for citizenship more drastic. It is imperative that we improve conditions for the "brains" of the United States, and that we encourage "brains" to propagate. Go into any of the many black belts in the United States and observe what a friend of mine is pleased to term, "THE ONE-STORY HOUSES WITH THE STAIR-STEPS ON THE OUTSIDE." The shacks about which and in which you will find from six to a dozen children Go into any college community and observe the families of the professors. If they average three children to a household it will be surprising. It may be said as a general proposition that economic conditions in this country are such that "brains" are not encouraged to breed, while the more interior masses, especially the blacks, with no very keen sense of responsibility in the matter of taking care of their offspring, breed malignically. Hence be aware of the chief things with which races must reckon, and there is nothing more certain than that, as a rule, the inferior will produce the inferior and the superior will produce the superior. Encourage "brains" to beget "brains." Incorporate sterilization into the legal punishment for miscegenation and habitual crime. Place the ballot in the keeping of the white man. We can take these first steps toward race security in the United States, and we ought not to delay much longer in taking them. THE NEGRO'S FUTURE After reading the above article the thoughtful Negro is bound to come to the conclusion that his future is not in America depending upon his constitutional rights to be administered by the white man, but that his future will be in a country to be founded by himself, where he must establish his own government and write his own Constitution. Let us of the Universal Negro Improvement Association work, therefore, for the redemption of Africa, where we will of ourselves establish a government second to none, thereby rendering protection to Ethiopia's Sons and Daughters everywhere, whether they live in America, the West Indies or elsewhere. We ask for all the financial support possible to help the Universal Negro Improvement Association put over its gigantic program, thereby proving to the white man that, while he can make America his exclusive home, we also can make Africa ours. THE UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION HAS STIRRED THE COUNTRY LIBERTY HALL, NEW YORK, Sunday night, Nov. 20, 1922 — The spirit of patriotism and love for and devotion to the principles of the Universal Negro Improvement Association was evidenced tonight by the large gathering in Liberty Hall, despite the absence of the leading spirit, Hon. Marcus Garvey, who left the city last week on a tour through the country in the interest of the movement. Liberty Hall followers have shown the determination to carry on the work of the association, irrespective of what the leadership may be because they are convinced that it is no longer a Garvey movement, but a movement that vitally affects the interests of the entire race, and that upon its survival or failure depends the very existence and hope of the Negro for the future. The mantle of leadership of the New York Local automatically falls on the first vice-president, Hon' G E Carter, in the absence of the President-General, but Mr. Carter being also absent in Philadelphia, the meeting tonight was conducted by Hon J W Fowler, Minister of Industries and Labor. This was Mr Fowler's first opportunity to preside over a Liberty Hall meeting, but he was perfectly at home and acquitted himself in a manner that speaks credibly of his ability as an executive and an otherer in the high and important position which he occupies. Owing to the unusually lengthy musical program, the speech making was not commenced until a late hour and permitted of only two speakers, Hon L O Kames, ex-Commissioner of Missouri, and Prof William H. Lerres, editor of The Negro World. The addresses, however, were intensely interesting, and Prof. Fertus, whose talks are always highly intellectual and enlightening, shone forth even more eloquently tonight, and uttered some pleasing sentiments which literally brought down the house with applause. He struck a responsive note when he placed Liberty Hall among the three famous buildings in America, ranking in fame with Samuel Hall of Boston and Madison Square Garden of New York. This expression created a feeling of deserving pride among the audience and elicited great applause. Somehow on other, Prof Ferris said, this movement has stirred the country so that it is not now a Garvey movement purely or an Universal Negro Improvement Association movement, but it is a movement in which the entire race is interested because of this movement succeeds in its grand object and its collossal plan, it will lift the status of the entire race, and if it goes down the crackers of the South will say, "I told you the 'Niggers' could not run anything but barber shops and saloons." The eyes of the world, he continued, are centered upon Liberty Hall as the originating source of this movement. The world is looking to see what great concerns will grow out of pure Negro enterprises when the originating force started from the Negro, when the executive and administrative ability come from the Negro, and when the finances to back it up come from the Negro. In paying a tribute to Hon. Marcus Garvey, Professor Forris said there was something about him that impressed him the first time he met Mr Garvey in Chicago in January, 1917. He saw that he had grit and will power and determination, and when he heard people laughing and talking about the Black Star Line he (the speaker) knew from what he had observed of the man that he would get the ship, although he was not sure that the ship would make money because of the complications involved in the shipping business, but he had the confidence that out of this movement, whether the Black Star Line failed or succeeded, would grow a mighty movement, because he felt that if a million black men could be mobilized and organized from all over the world wonderful results could be attained. In conclusion, he said that he believed that the spirit—which this movement has generated in the hearts of the Negro—the spirit of initiatives, the spirit of progress—will result not only in a united race and the redemption of Africa, but in the Negro as an industrial and economic and political factor which will be reckoned with among the affairs of men. Hon F. O. Haines, in his remarks said that the restlessness and skepticism that existed towards this movement were because the Negro had just woke up. He had been sleeping for centuries, and Marcus Garvey has awakened him, and, like one who was sound asleep and shaken constantly he jumps up and turns over the table and knocks down the lamp, he is awake but he is excited. That is our condition: we are awake; we know we want to be free; we know we want to redeem Africa, but we need to be calm and to approach the matter in a passionate manner. Our cause is just and we shall succeed, but we must face figures and facts, and analyze every problem and every phase of our opportunity and make no mistake, for the other fellow is working night and day to lay plans to upset this great movement. The call of the U. N. I. A. he said, could not be a greater one, and no Negro that has any sense or any self-respect can find fault with the program. The chairman in making the announcements, laid stress on the meeting to be held in Liberty Hall on Thursday, night to welcome the delegates who had to be sent abroad to attend the League of Nations Conference, and lay the claims of the Negro for a mandate over certain parts of Africa. The delegates have returned and will make their report in Liberty Hall on Thursday night, and the membership was asked to turn out in large numbers. Following are the speeches: Prof. William H. Ferris said: I have before me a copy of the "World," which has a picture of Professor Aggrer, an African prince, who dates his ancestry back to the generations, and who went with the Philip Stokes expedition to Africa; and while it casts a stir upon knowing Harvey and the movement, the war it speaks of it shows that the movement has impressed the world. What is it now? His African origin was a real advantage to him, for it gave him the car of the whiles who otherwise, on account of their breed of Ethiopian doctores, are always suspicious of the invader Harvey, while it was for him the attention of the indigenous Africans who were since the reports of Marvus Garvey in a Black Star fleet, have had their lives turned to overcrowded Negroes for survival from the provailing depression as well as for liberation from the injustice of the white man in whom they are tending to lose faith. He convinced the former that in the British colonies and in America there are Negro intellectuals who have assimilated European culture in its refined form, and distilled the latter of the African Republic mirage, giving them instead an edifying message of self help based on Booker T. Washington's principles and Christian ethics. He spoke on anthology, economics medicine, philosophy and education and was declared by Rand Hall as "the most highly educated man of the African race," and by many as having done more than any other visitor to Africa to persuade the people of the necessity of racial cooperation between whites and Negroes." The vital part of the article is that speaks of the African Negroes turning their race to overexasperate Negroes for revenge from the prevailing depression, as well as for liberation from the injustice of the white man in whom they are tending to lose faith. One Great Thing the U. N. I. A. Has Done There is one thing this movement has done, and it will remain to its eternal glory. It has called attention as no other movement has to the in justice from which the African has suffered I have been in my career as teacher and preacher connected with three denominations – the Congregational, the A M E Zion and the A M E – but there has never been any movement in which I have put my heart and soul as I have in this. There has never been any movement which I desire to succeed for the principles at stake independently of the personal opportunity and bread and butter aspects I will tell you the reason why. As a boy I have seen the Anglo-Saxon civilization in its splendor. I have seen in the Yale-Harvard and Yale Princeton football and baseball games and the Yale-Harvard boat races – Anglo-Saxon glory and splendor. I saw亿万aires come to attend these football games riding in beautiful automobiles, and women dressed in dolmans of broadtail and Russian sable fur, and I have seen men from across the seas who had received learned degrees. I recognized as a boy that these men were honored and I came to believe that a man won his recognition from the dent and impression he had made upon the world. Then as I traveled over to New England and various States I would meet some men who would say, "I have been a donor to Tuskegee; I have been a donor to Hampton I have been a donor to Atlanta University, I have been a donor to Fisk." When I was in Norwich they told me how Ware a Norwich boy went South and built up Atlanta University, and how Dr. Cravath went to create Fisk University and General Howard built up Howard University and General Hampton built up Hampton University. No matter how high Howard University rose or Atlanta University rose or Fisk or Hampton or Tuskegee rose, the credit for originating the movement will redound to the glory of the Anglo-Saxon and they will be monuments and landmarks to what Anglo-Saxon genius and finance have done for the Negro. Then when I was connected with the A.M.E. Church and the A.M.E. Zion Church I could not get 100 per cent. of my inspiration stirred up. They were great religious organizations, and they showed what the Negro could do when he could organize himself religiously always believing in religion as the psychic uplift of the Negro race; but in religion you are not matching your wits, you are not matching your brains with those of other races. Looking to See What the Negro Can Do In the Universal Negro Improvement Association the world is looking to see what the Negro can do in the industrial and economic life on a large scale. The world is looking to see what great concerns will grow out of pure Negro enterprises, when the originating force starts from the Negro, when the executive and administrative ability come from the Negro, and where the finance to back it up comes from the Negro. Do you know, last night I attended a reception in Odd Fellows Hall. New Haven, given to the Tale and Harvard students and all the distinguished visitors who attended the Tale-Harvard game. The most eminent men of our race were there, from Boston to Washington and as far west as Pittsburgh, and every man that I was THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1922 Is Not Now a Garvey Movement but a Movement in Which Entire Race Is Interested—Its Success Will Lift the Status of the Entire Race—Its Failure Will Bring Reproach—So Says Prof. Ferris in Eloquent Speech LIBERTY HALL ONE OF THE THREE FAMOUS BUILDINGS IN AMERICA—EYES OF THE WORLD ARE CENTERED UPON IT AS ORIGINATING SOURCE OF THIS MOVEMENT—RANKS IN FAME WITH FANUEIL HALL AND MADISON SQUARE GARDEN—FERRIS PAYS GREAT TRIBUTE TO MARCUS GARVEY—HAS GRIT, WILL POWER AND DETERMINATION, HE SAYS Hon.

Movement Has Stirred the Country Somehow or other this movement has attired the country so that it is now how a Maraca Country movement purposely or a Universal Negro Improvement Association movement, but it is a movement in which the entire country interrelated, because if this movement succeeds in its ground object and the planical plan, it will lift the sitting on the entire race and if it goes down the crackers will pay. I told the Nigeria could not run anything but barter shops and slaves. Eyes of the World Centered on Move-ment Do you see the eyes of the soldier are centered upon Liberty Hall as the originating source of the newspaper? Today the three famous buildings in America are Faundall Hall in Boston, Madison Square Garden in New York, and Liberty Hall (supplier). I have seen a faith and a courage and an enthusiasm manifested by this organization which spells something new in the evolution of the Negro. The second time I went South to teach I had two jobs offered me one was a school backed by a rich white denomination and the other was a school backed by a comparatively poor Negro denomination. I took the job where I received less salary, where I was given power sleeping quarters and where I was given poorer food (which I always value). Why did I do it? I felt that no matter what I might do to build that institution under white management, in the last analysis the glory and credit would not redound to the Negro race! but I felt that the Negro institution, if it realized the hope of its founders, would stand as a landmark to Negro genius. Desire for Freedom Mr. Raines spoke of freedom. We all want to be free. The only respect in which men differ is how they can get free. Our fathers and mothers believed that they could get free by prayer, but Professor James, the Harvard psychologist, said that God deals in a wholesale way. His main object is bent on running this universe, and these little petty details and affairs of men must work out for themselves. And so the men who prayed finally got tired of praying and then began to beg and they began to appeal to the sympathy of the Anglo-Saxon, and for thirty years the white man would give it every Negro who came along, and finally he got tired of giving, and then the Negro was thrown back upon himself. Those of you who read the Negro World will see where I stated that in a brickyard in Connecticut some Italian and Polish laborers refused to work with those Virginian colored men who were hired, and the proprietor told those white men that, "I am the boss of this job, if you don't want to work with these Negros you can go home." It was not because that white man was philanthropic, but because he recognized that those Virginian men were big, strappying, brawny fellows. It was not because this white man favored these Virginian Negros personally, but he loved their brawn, their muscle and working power. He had a contract to supply bricks for five years in New York State and he wanted men with nerve and muscle and grit and determination to carry that work through and that is why he kept them on the job. The opportunity which a colored man is permitted nowadays is not because of the pity that a white man has, but if it is the use he can make out of you. That is the same attitude he takes of his own men. I noticed that when one white man falls in business his friends do not rally around and put up a half million dollars to start him again he must either stay down or start himself, and the world is so constituted that it has respect and admiration only for the men and race and nation that can stand on its own feet and carve out its own deathe The great men who have made history have been men whose impulses have come from themselves, and the first time I had the honor of meeting the Rt. Hon. Marcus Garvey personally—although I have corresponded with him before—was five years ago last January in Chicago, when I was assisting Fenton Johnson, the post, in editing the Champion Magazine. He had an article then which he desired to publish and which I published in the Champion Magazine. He was lecturing in the colored churches. There was something about the man that impressed then. I saw that he had grit. I saw that he had will-power and that saw that he had determination. When I came to the city on my vacation three years ago last July and heard people laughing and talking about his Black Star line, I knew from what I had observed of the man that he would get the ship, but I was not sure that the ship would make money because of the complications involved in the shipping business. But I had the confidence that out of this movement, whether the Black Star line failed or succeeded, would grow a mighty move. ment. I felt that if a million black men could be mobilized and organized all over the world wonderful results would be attained. This is what will happen. Nine years ago, when my book, the African Abroad," was published I doubted whether including abroad through Central America or the West Indies would have been successful. I would not attend their attention because I was an American Negro, but now I have a foreign country where black men are the fact that I am an American Negro will attract attention. That is the spiritual aspect which I regard as one of the contributions of Marx in society to the Negro race. When I posted a Congregational church in Wilmington, N.C., I had an assistant of the Trustee Board who was a South Carolina man and I had a secretary who was a North Carolina and near everything which the South Carolina man proposed was not favored by the North Carolina man, who would feel that he was superior to the South Carolina Negro. But now they all feel a unity which they did not before and the idea of big brotherhood a similar man (very) where in a wonderful idea out of the idea of the Negro. I have faith and confidence in this movement because I have faith and confidence in God and because I have faith and confidence in the black man. I believe that the only reason why we are tired of colored institutions in because we are not aware of the history of the Negro of our race. If we could fully realize that black men in Ethiopia and Egypt Inid the foundation of the world civilization that black men in Africa first discovered the art of anemology from that black men in the Middle Ages built a civilization in the heart of Africa that black men discovered America before Christopher Columbus did and taught the Indians to cultivate sweet potatoes and to cook, if we could realize that all that other men can accomplish we can accomplish, we could demonstrate to the world what we can do, and could go into our enterprises with renewed vigor and renewed vim, and I believe that the spirit which this movement has generated in the heart of the Negro, the spirit of initiative, the spirit of progress, will result not only in a united race and the redemption of Africa, but in the Negro as an industrial and economic and political factor which will be reckoned with among the affairs of men (Great applause) HON. F. O. RAINES SPEAKS Hon F. O. Raines, excommissioner of the State of Missouri, was the first speaker, and among other things, said he was especially pleased to have the opportunity to participate in a program at Liberty Hall, where he had the honor of representing the Chicago Division in two conventions and the State of Missouri in the last convention as commissioner of that State. Great Respect for Leader He had the greatest respect for the leading spirit and founder of this great movement, and he would like to see all Negroes appreciate his great and matchless effort. He (the speaker) had put forth his every effort from time to time to safeguard the interests of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and it was the duty of all of us to have our mind always bent in that direction and see what contribution we can make toward accomplishing the desired end. He was more determined than ever to live up to and sustain the principles of the association than any time herefore because he saw the great need of cooperation and a deeper understanding of ourselves and a deeper understanding of those with whom we must deal He was highly pleased to know that the delegation sent to Europe has been reasonably successful in the interests of this great organization and in the interests of the race, but we must not expect too much Continuing, he said that the restlessness and skepticism that existed among the race toward this movement were because the leading spirit of the movement had woke the Negro up. He had been slumbering for centuries, and Marcus Garvey has awakened him and, like one who was sound asleep and shaken constantly, he jumps up and turns over the table and knocks down the lamp, he is awake, but he is excited. That is our condition; we are awake, we know we want to be free we know we want to redeem Africa, but we need to be calm and to approach the matter in a dispassionate manner. Our cause is just and we shall succeed, but we must face figures and facts and analyze every problem and every phase of our opportunity and make no mistake, for the other fellow is working night and day to lay plans to upset this great movement. We need to come together and to more profoundly understand what our opportunity is. The Call of the U. N. I. A. The Universal Negro Improvement Association has issued a call to Negroes from every part of the world, and the one common call is for the re- rempet of Africa and the east embouchment of a good Republic in a great government to support and protect their interests everywhere. That is the call and we could have no greater call and no Negro that has no interest in has any self respect in indulgence with his program to be in good Negro improvement. N. Africa. He will work tion of ways and means to the con- trol and take advantage of the opportun- ities that arise in our lives. Every Negro group like every Negro family must get into the great no- veal mental point of view in our com- mune into the commitment of af- principles. Languages is trying to pro- vise white people and we must must not miss the point that they are making. The need to form a league of nations for the purpose of porting a great work of art is important and self preservation is important, but they will not be able to do so while we are the capital of the world. We will be more of us if we lose one larger job to the same hand. A. Great Achievement Referring again to the delegation to the League in Nations, the speaker urged that their report be received as a great achievement in that the intelligence of the bode ship of the organization and accomplished the sending of a mission to the League of Nations and got a report favorable to our interests, which was a step that no other Negro movement had made and for that reason it established the leadership of the Universal Negro Imposition. Association beyond question. Let us have, he concluded, a greater respect for the principles of the organization, which means that whether or not Marcus Garvey is here, let us fill up the place anyway, because of the principles for which the association stands. There is not sufficient concentration upon our principle there is not sufficient regard for the great cause itself which if properly supported will lift us out of the mere (Applause) SURPRISES GALORE AT LA LAYFETT LAST FRIDAY N AFTER At the midnight performance of Follow M. at the Lafayette Theatre last Friday night the patrons were treated to surprises galore.

He may indeed modify its malignity or mitigate its intensity on men. He severity by wise and sensitive procedure. But laxitymoreimentations will avail him nothing shall he yield to the ghost as the covied does in the face of unfavorable fate. Or shall he meet the outward pressure of communications with the more resistant of soul. The insatiable rate of the creation makes a sorry peril in face of common law. The physical toward fleas before testing the adequacy of his strength against opposing of dogs. He lives in the way and troubles without determining whether or of they are claimed. The most toward is more deep. He makes an unconditional suspender of the soul. When one surreverses his will he permits his energies and enables his whole life. The nervous prophet has apparently under the unquiet need and will over the awakeness of the world. The instant prophet commands the chanties of soil and the house of the bessiness in righted a waving of compelled and into the beginning of our Streaming must the force of the impulse be the pasture of the indifferent and the station. The earth's surface is soft and moves about the sea the far born in them soaked the course of human events moves on heedless of the way faces of the life possess who walks are an impatient as the loiter of the modest and will in depth to the most complete. The possessor is apt to be a moral and intellectual diplomat. He has knighted himself with raw theism which cause mental indignation. One ounce of faith will cure the severest case of pessimism, the dose of courage will bumble the most malignant type of despair. If you have faith as large as a grain of mustard seed you can say to the mountains of race prejudice "he we picked up by the roots and cast into the sea" and it shall be so. No one who has faith in humanity can ever dispense of the possibilities of man. Faith bans despondency as the sun the mist. Why surrender the high prerogatives of manhood to the arrogance of race? What boots it to blot the Negro out of existence and to shut off his seed from the land of the living? What human or disheard can be served thereby? Suicide is the one sin that shall never be forgiven. If our poet desires to do in order to terminate his own life and escape the hardships of his color it is his personal prerogative to do so. The one commendable act in the re out of the life of Judas baited is that he went out and hung himself. But would to God that the poet had taken the decisive step before pennning these fatal words. The race might well have failed at the midlife. But the virtuousness of evil doctrine consists in its suggestiveness, especially to those of weak will and feeble spirit. Unfortunately Kenton Johnson does not stand alone. His brand of moral impolitey is widespread and contagious. The race abounds in weak souled pessimists without faith, hope or courage. They are ashamed of their kind and of their own progeny. They live without hope and die with- HOLSTEIN SOUNDS WARNING AGAINST OFFICIAL "ADVOCATE" OF NAVAL RULE VIRGINIA NEGROES IWAIKE PROGRESS Gov. E. Lee Trinkle Speaks Before Negro Organization Society on "Education, Health, Co-operation" By WM ANTHONY AERY RICHMOND, Va. Nov 27 — A ninth-month school term for every child and at least a normal graduate as teacher in every Virginia school" was the educational objective of the recent three-day tenth annual session of the Negro Organization Society of Virginia, whose officers include Robert R. Moton, honorary president, Alien Washington, president, and John M. Gandy, executive secretary. Hon. E. Lee Trinkle Governor of Virginia, declared that his eyes had been opened, since he took office to the many fine things that Virginia has done to dance with women. Every man and woman in Virginia he said "ought to belong to this Negro Organization Society, which will active results and do much good!" Governor Tooke, who was introduced by the Rev. R. W. Johnson of Richmond as a man who has exhibited great interest in the advancement of Negro affairs among many line man who has a college of his convictions a man of a kind. I interested and deep sympathy declare that every man woman man and woman could have an interest in the object of a compliment based on service. Governor Trinkle Speaks "Men and women and Governor Trinkle can do almost anything that they are determined to do. In always a great gift to people to give up. Comped people to people. Are giving great good from the efforts of a very generous person. So so, are men and women and people. While there are great gifts to me I can accommodate by a combination of good services and good wishes men can put over anything they wish. "We must have our operations to secure the place we want. Surely there are difficulties enough even when we pull together. Different among men ought not to make them less friendly. It is a challenge that we were out the good things of life. Individual opinion should yield to the judgment. We often not willing to think. After thorough discussion men should set down to the best things. "Wrritening has 650,000 boys and girls." By CA8PER HOL8TEIN In these colony it has been my privilege to write on the conditions of the Niger natives of the Virgin Islands of the U.S.A. Since I have taken up the cudgel in defense of what I feel to be mutilated tribes I have seen a governor called a law-dodging rightly cousin minister of the Gospel deported and a liberty loving people grooming under his guidance. In short the right for complete justice in the Virgin Islands of the United States must be kept up. The people traitors must be weeded out, the Judges must go. Right must triumph on the side. With this view I desire to take this opportunity to write on the public while in life against a mouth piece of the governor on an island where the Virgin Islands are located. I hope that the Virgin Islands and I come satisfied with what I have done of government. This image was taken by a member of the Supreme Court of Louisiana. He also, on one time, posed for him in London. How it was a man claiming to be an American could have been made a proof of his highest, judiciary body in a process replete like Liberty is still a story to me. He is apparently the sort of man the government would want, who does not stare at my life, there is no a very good trial of mystery attached to this all. Now that man I love in America.

Of this number 498,000 are in average daily attendance. Virginia has 7,000 school buildings and, an army of 15,000 teachers. Virginia is spending $18,000,000 annually on education, which aims to create a better citizenship, which, in turn, means a better and more useful state. We are not doing all that we ought to do or that we hope to do. People in Virginia are more willing to spend money for education. We must keep everlastingly at the work of educating all the people. We have gone through the centuries almost like cannibals with respect to health. The death of every child in Virginia means the loss of thousands of dollars to the commonwealth. I want you to know that I am back of you in any h. Just effort you are making to advance your race. When we can get all the colored people harnessed up to exert their force for good it will mean much to Virginia. Let complaints be built on constructive programs. We must make us all better and happier. I wish to facilitate the colored people of Virginia on their obedience to the law. The 2,300,000 people of Virginia will not bow to the criminal class. Prohibition, for example, can be enforced through the united effort of Christian people. Public opinion on is fast forming. People are discovering that there is law in Virginia and that law has iron clutch. The Christian people of Virginia are in power and they must stand together. Ten Years of Progress Major Allen, Washington, commandant of Hamilton Institute in his annual presidential address, outlined the society's progress during ten years of service in Virginia. "Our work has been steadily increasing," he said. "I believe we have done some good in Virginia to encourage our people to build better homes and more schools as well as in teaching them through lectures and leaflets the importance of improving health conditions in their home communities. There is no phase of social-political work more deserving of our attention at this time than that of encouraging our people to "improve these conditions which relate to health education, homes and farms." At the closing meeting addresses were in the by President W. J. Clarke of Virginia Union University on "The Place of the College in Educational Development", Mrs B. B. Munford, president of the Co-operative Education Association of Virginia, on "Building in Community Spirit", Franklin O. Nicholas, of the American University, on "Sex Education and Racial Progress", Dr James E. Grege principal of Hampton Institute, on "Education for Good Citizenship", the Rev G.

And, don't forget, this judicial overlord is a black man like myself. I be way of enlightenment I would like to ask this gentleman a few questions. It is a well-known fact that the political and economic issue is pretty well divided in the Virgin Islands. There is the St Crixo Labor Union representing the working classes, and there is also the other class. This is the class against which the upstanding Negro elements of the islands have been fighting for the longest time. Now for the questions, Who does he represent? Which class? Is a Liberian we take in for granted that he must be a Liberian if he was a Supreme Court judge of the African public, unauthorized to speak for the trunk and the title of oppressed Virgin Islanders? If so, who gave him the authority? Again, is he going to deliver these lectures because he feels the government of the idea has been wronged? Is he going to take up weapons in defense of a political system which he feels certain after his years of judicial experience is the most beautiful in the universe and which is a born to Virgin Islanders of the L. N. A. I have been accused by officials of the government on the岛 with havoc lambasted Judge Payne, a man of my own race. In reply, I wish to say that we are imbued with the true spirit of Americanism and we are sworn to give up to the provisions of the Constitution. In our struggle for justice we are not going to allow our emotions to run away with us. We believe in upholding the law. We also believe that justice ought to be tempered with mercy, but not injustice subsidized by piracy. Also we believe in the inherent right, guaranteed us under the Constitution, of free speech. Regardless of an official's political or governmental status, we feel that, on proper grounds, we can at times question his acts and policies. We intend to fight and agitate until we get justice. This is our inherent constitutional right and we insist on getting it. The members of my race who would act as syphants to the other fellow and attack any Negro who has the courage to speak out against the wrongs and deplorable actions are now being met, not with the eyes of hate, but of pity, sorrow, contempt. There are lots whose names I would like to call, but I am reserving them for the psychological time. D. Hamilton Jackson and Rothschild Francis, the champions of Negro manhood, who are here in New York at present fighting for the cause of Virgin Islanders as home—their program and reform platforms have been endorsed by the governor and intend to back them in the limbs and even a little bit more. Let the traitors and enemies of justice beware. The eyes of those who are leading the fight are not yet shut, thank God! THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1922 FRENCH NEGROES WILL NOT ALLY WITH THE RUSSIAN REDS (Special Correspondence to Associated Negro Press) PARIS, France, Nov. 27.—It appears that whatever olive branches have been held out to French Negroes by the Bolsheviks are to fade and wither. At least that is the dictum given to the public by the Negro representatives in the House of Deputies within the past few days. M. Candace, the Gaudalouppean delegate and probably the most eloquent man in the Chamber, has pronounced against any consideration of the plan to ally French Negroes with the Russian Reds. He declares that it would be the height of folly it really doesn't cause for the W. pledging itself to Allerator Norrith. (He caused convulsion humorous reference the little republic war.

Y. City, Desk A. Returned from the Scottish Church's Missionary Congress, held in Glasgow, outlined the progress which American Negroes have made since 1865 He said. "When the Negro asks for better educational facilities, adequate sanitary arrangements in his part of the city good roads in his part of the county, or equal railroad accommodations, he is not seeking 'social equality', but he is asking for civic justice"—an opportunity to be treated on his part of the city's economic merita. This, then, is not a question of 'social equality' which neither race wants, but is a question of simple justice." "The white race is not fair to itself, when it is unfair and unjust to a weaker group. The black race is unfair to itself, if it permits itself to become embittered or to hate the white race. The two races here at the South have lived, fought sacrificed, and died for each other. The relations between the races were never better, in spite of all that is said and done, then they are today. We never had more strong, unselfish, God-fearing white friends in Virginia and in every Southern State than we have now." Hopeful Field Reports The field reports from the school league delegates, who represented many Virginia counties, indicated that the following purposes of the Negro Organization Society, outlined in detail by Dr. John M. Gandy, of Peterburg, president of the Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute, have been carried out. To build, better school houses, lengthen terms, create and promote a general interest in education and cooperation between the school and community. To improve the health of the people by enlightening the public on the causes and prevention of diseases, and by seeking to establish health conditions at home and at all public meetings. To secure co-operation among farmers in buying and selling products, enliven their conscience to the necessity of better methods in farming, and to encourage land-buying; and to wage an encasing campaign for better homes and better morals, and thus to develop a higher type of civilization. A LESSON FROM THE LAYING OF THE ATLANTIC CABLE A LESSON FROM THE LAYING OF THE ATLANTIC CABLE Sr William H. Ferris, Editor The Negro World, 56 West 135th Street, New York City. Dear Mr. Editor—Please permit me space in your valuable paper to say that we Negroes on this side are willi- ing to support our honorable leader Mr Garvey's seeming failure, as the whites have supported the seeming failure of their leaders. In this world there are failures and will continue so long as the world exists. Let us take the laying of the telegraph cable. A telegraph cable 1,864 miles in length was laid from Valentia Bay in Ireland to Hearts Content, Newfoundland. The two contents were thus almost brought into communication, which was completed by Gyrus W. Field in the year 1856, and from New York to St John's, Newfoundland, a distance of over 1,000 miles, but in August, 1857, the cable parted. A second attempt was made in June, 1858, and also failed after repeated trials. And then a third effort in July, 1859, was successful. A message was then sent from the Queen of England to the President, and a reply transmitted. A celebration was held in New York in honor of the event. But what happened? On that very day, September 1, the cable ceased to work. The time and money spent seemed to be a total loss. But Mr. Field alone was undimagined. The company was reorganized, $2,000,000 in gold war subscribed, and a fourth cable, was made. The Great Eastern called with this in June, 1868, and successfully accomplished the feat. To make the triumph more complete the vessel called back to the very spot where the cable of 1868 had parted, and dragging grappling from caught the lost cable, brought it to the surface, and apliding it laid the remaining portion. The two cables were dimorphly and dispatches could be blown across the ocean to this very day. And, fellow men, of our race, the art made several efforts to scale the wall and fall, but with perseverance he got to the top. Let me not be discouraged; success is apparent. Thanking you for the space-permitted me and with very best wishes, I am, yours very fraternally, ALFRED DUNBAVIN. Ex-President Division No. 113, Santa Domingo City, R. D. FRENCH NEGROES WILL NOT ALLY WITH THE RUSSIAN REDS FRENCH NEGROES WILL NOT ALLY WITH THE RUSSIAN REDS (Special Correspondence to Associated Negro Press) PARIS, France, Nov. 27.—It appears that whatever olive branches have been held out to French Negroes by the Bolahevite are to fade and wither. At least that is the dictum given to the public by the Negro representatives in the House of Deputies within the past few days. M. Candace, the Gaudeaupean delegate and probably the most eloquent man in the Chamber, has pronounced against any consideration of the plan to ally French Negroes with the Russian Reda. He declares that it would be the height of folly to do so, and besides, in against every economic and political interest of the Negroes of the world at this time to join hands with the ultra radical elements in any part of the world. "This American Negro, Garvey," he said recently, "has got hold of the wrong end of this matter. We are at that stage of our race development where we are obliged to join hands with some one. I admit, but we should be very careful whom we pick as our ally in this effort in which we all have an abiding interest. No French Negro can afford to leave the French. The French are modern in spirit, and I admire the African policy of the French world. We have been wise. Rene Maran's story, however, has opened French eyes to the necessity of bringing about a change of policy in that section of the French world. There are many reasons that point to the Negroid elements of the human family as the next dominant factor in the upholding of genuine principles of civilization. We have the benign nature, and we have the pastic vision if we will use it to the highest advantage. I see no reason at present to join with such visionaries as Garvey or anyone else to try to get control of Africa now. The future will take good shape. We have seen in this particular. Let us make sample preparation and then talk about controlling the Fatherland." Braise Diagne, the West Coast African delegate, voiced the opinions of Candace. "We will talk of the African situation in due time," he said. "M. Candace has expressed my view of the matter." Both Candace and Diagne indorsed the Pan-African Congress. They each declared that it was the right movement because its membership advocated the high development of the Niger. Before there was any kind of talk about an attempt to control the African branch of the race. It is likely that the Pan-African Congress will meet again next year. SENATOR CHARGES NEGRO LEADERS WITH GRAFTING ON THE LIBERIAN LOAN SENATOR CHARGES NEGRO LEADERS WITH GRAFTING ON THE LIBERIAN LOAN (By the Associated Negro Press) WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 27.—Senator Pat Harrison is again using the cover of his position as a member of the United States in an unmany and really discreditable effort to beamchir the good character of prominent colored men. The Liberian loan question gives him the opportunity. He charges that a group of colored men were to secure a commission if the loan passes. Yet there is nothing in the entire scope of the matter which gives him justification unless it be that he is acquainted with the people from any come back on the part of the men he is accusing of what actually amounts to a malfunction of funds belonging to the Liberian Government should the loan be allowed. This is an unbelievable situation. In the instances of William H. Lewis, of Boston, and Emmett J. Scott, of this city, there is nothing in the history of either of these men that will give even the grounds for a suspicion that they would be a party to any agreement that would be otherwise than honorable in every particular. This will also answer for the other three men mentioned in Senator Harrison's accusations. Senator Borah's charge that possibly New York speculators would come in for a large share of the loan on the scorc of purely successful speculations may have some grounds to stand upon. As a matter of fact, it would be hard to conceive of a big financial arrangement with the government that would not find the New York unnancies with their fingers very deep in the transaction. That is the way things financial go as a rule. But that is not so because the Federal representative from Mississippi to take an unwarranted filing at prominent colored men for no other reason than because he affects to see a way to discredit them for the pure satisfaction of doing so small an act. Getting at the bottom of the reasons for making the loan to the Liberians, 2 SILK TIES BNT FOR $100 WE TRUST YOU YOU are, and the end of your life you can be to it and you can be to you. We are the only one who has to be the one who you can be to you. We are the only one who you can be to you. We are the only one who you can be to you. ART TRADING COMPANY, New York, 18 it really doesn't matter what are the causes for, the Wilson administration pledging itself to the proposition, Senator Nortin (Rep), from Nebraska, caused convulsions of laughter by humorous references to the part that the little republic played in the late war. He might have been engaged in a better cause. It was a perfectly safe thing for him to do, however, and he played it to a finish. One can figure Nebraska standing alone outside of the United States, the international compact attempting to maintain its position against the entire world and easily imagine where she would "come off" at. But the turkey in the oven is what part did the aforementioned colored men play in the loan matter or what part could they possibly play in the matter. Certainly it is going a far distance to imagine that any of them has enough influence in the United States Senate to bring to a successful issue any piece of legislation that would have the dire effects ascribed by the man from Mississippi concerning the Liberian loan. But it affords a pleasurable way for the Southern elements in the Senate to strike at the people who can get, at best, a feeble defense at the hands of Congress. This much is certain. The whole matter is likely to boomerang on the Southern contingent. They can not prove a disconnectable connection in any of the instances charged, and they will not attempt to go the limit in the matter. But they will have accomplished their object when they have done their part in doing the little thing where the colored people are concerned. They are so busy maintaining their position of superiority that they have not the time to stop to analyze. It begins to look like the loan will have a hard time of it in the Senate. On the other hand none of the aforesaid colored men are likely to be called by a Senate committee to explain their connection with this man a matter of fact. it is the New York men who are colored men who are the more likely to be the figures. if there really be any, in this list "escandal" unearthied by the Southern watchdog of the Treasury. W F Houston, a member of the Washington Board of Education; James A. Cobb, former assistant district attorney, were also mentioned by Pat Harrison.

He never even joined a political party, but was elected as an independent to the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate over a period of more than fifty years.

In this way he destroyed cabinets after cabinets, and the moment each fight was over he resumed his independence as a more free-lance member of parliament.

NEWMAN, TAKES HIS LARGE AUDIENCE TO SOUTH AFRICA Those who have believed South Africa to be a savage wilderness were disillusioned when the first in the series of Newman Traveltalks was given last evening in Symphony Hall before a large audience. The pictures showed the realization of Coell Rhodes' dream of industrial conquest in the African wilda, the upbuilding of a civilization through the influence of British and American agencies, and the introduction of the inventions and products of these two countries. The talk last evening dealt chiefly with the trip from Southampton, England, via Madeirn and Capetown, to Johannesburg. The speaker commended the American steamship which bore him on his journey, and stated that if the American people wanted a merchant marine, they should do all in their power to maintain it. In referring to the highways of South Africa, which, he said, were among the finest in the world, he told that of 10,000 motor cars in the country, all but about 800 were of American manufacture. He took his audience to the homes of Cecil Rhodes and General Simpa, along charming marine dives, and showed remarkable scenes of sunrise over the Indian Ocean. One of the most interesting groups in his lecture was the discovery and operation of the diamond mines in Kimberley. Here, as in all sections of South Africa, the natives are of solan- Over 800 cases of mob violence took place in the United States in the 21 months up to last June, according to a compilation made public yesterday by the American Civil Liberties Union in a pamphlet entitled "Who May Safely Advocate Force and Violence?" The facts of mob violence are set forth to give point to the quoted utterances of men in public life "advocating force and violence against radicals." The figures compiled from the union's records show that from September 1, 1920, to June 1, 1922, there were 85 lynchings, 61 cases of taring and murdering, 127 flugings, and 468 forcible mob deportations. Striking facts brought out by the figures are that 80 of the 85 men lynched were white, as were 49 of the 61 persons tarped and feathered and 20 of the 127 flugged. Five of the victims were women, of whom three were white, Negroes numbered less than one-third of those attacked. The Eu Kiu Klan was identified with 83 of the mobs. The report says: "While most of the mob violence, took place in the South and Southwest, it was also well distributed through the Far West, and Middle West, with fewer cases in the East. The record totals over 700 victims at the lowest possible count, and over 800 including rioting victims. The figures are all doubtless low, because our records are necessarily incomplete; based only on immodulate press reports." Increment to mob violence, according to the pamphlet, began in the early days of the war, and has since marked the utterances of many publicmen. The analysis of these utterances by officials and others contrasts their freedom from prosecution with the imprisonment of "radicals for far less intolerable utterances." In commenting on the collection of quoted utterances, the Civil Liberties Union says: "We have no record of any case since 1817, when these restrictive laws against radicals were first passed, where these clearly guilty of inciting violence or actually using violence against radicals or workingmen, have been successfully prosecuted. Now have we any record whatever of mob violence by radicals. We do not refer of course, to the record of industrial conflict, in which violence on both sides has been common, but which involves no issue of radicalism." These statements of Eihbu Root, late Secretary of State; former Ambassador to Germany James W. Gerard, e.g. Governor Wardell of Maryland and others, the bulletin says: "These statements are typical of scores of others. But no purpose is served in going back to war days, except to show the origin of the insultment to violence that marks attacks on radicals since. It will be remembered, that during the war whole- old physique, left of a low, unemotional mentality.

And we take pleasure in reproducing it in The Negro World this year: THANKSGIVING DAY AND THE NEGRO Thanksgiving Day, with the possible exception of Armistice Day, is the only national holiday that is decreed by proclamation of the President of the United States. The holiday had its origin in New England, and is observed there more religiously than in any other section of the country. The first Thanksgiving Day was celebrated three hundred years ago, 1621, in Plymouth, New England. The Pilgrim Fathers, because of religious persecution, sailed from England to Holland. They sailed from Holland and reached Cape Cod, Mass. They crossed the bay and landed at Plymouth Rock in 1619. Cold, hunger and privations rapidly decimated their number. One report has it that the Colonists were on the verge of starvation when a ship suddenly appeared from England, bearing provisions, and that they then and there set apart a day for a feast and for giving thanks to God. Another report stated that, although only fifty of the Colonists had survived the rigor of a New England winter, the fact that they had had a good season of crops, the fact that they had food laid up for the coming winter, and had won the friendship of the Indians, caused the heroic Governor Bradford to have a Thanksgiving dinner. He sent out four hunters to shoot wild fowl and they shot wild turkeys. The housewives made pumpkin pies, and the friendly Indians brought in cranberries, from which cranberry sauce was made, beech nuts, oysters and clams, vegetables, such as squash, dried peas, beans, turnips, cabbage and potatoes were probably procured. A writer in the Sunday American said that Squanto, a friendly Indian, brought in popcorn, and thus the first typical Thanksgiving dinner was served. Caucasians and a few friendly Indians rejoiced together: In our boyhood days Thanksgiving was a gala day. First came the religious services in the churches. Then followed the Thanksgiving dinner, of which roast turkey, with cranberry sauce, mince and pumpkin pies and plum pudding were the favorite dishes, and which was frequently a family reunion. Then followed the football game. And in the evening patriotic meetings, parties, concerts and dances held regal sway. Survey Human Life It seems to us that setting apart one day out of the year to take our bearings, to take an inventory of our stock and to give thanks to God is a wholesome custom. In the mad, feverish rush of modern life; in the struggle for bread, place and power, with the mind absorbed with perplexing economic, social, national and racial problems, it is well to pause one day to forget petty cares, strifes and ambitions, and to survey human life sub specie aeternitatis. When we look upon this universe, which is instinct with law and order, and survey its all-embracing unity, we must recognize with Anaxagorus, the father of modern theism, the inspirer of Socrates and friend of Pericles, that different kind of blind, unthinking atoms or electrons could not get together and build up a universe unless some Nous, some mind, some intelligence was guiding and directing them. And when we behold man with his wonderful physical mechanism and organism; with his still more wonderful intellect, with his national moral, aesthetical and religious nature, with his personality dominated by ideals which transcend the feeding, clothing and sheltering of the body, we must believe that the Creator had some reason and purpose for calling him into being. And it is difficult for a man to believe that his life has no meaning, significance and value for the Father of Spirits and that he was only created to be destroiled as he began to unfold as a spiritual being. No act in human history exhibits more the dauntless spirit of man which will not be conquered by a hostile environment than Governor Bradford's deciding to have a Thanksgiving dinner three hundred years ago. He and his party of fifty were in a strange land. Three thousand miles of water navigated only by sailing vessels separated them from kith and kin and friends across the seas, for they had left their native land to go to a strange country that was far away in order that they might worship God according to the dictates of their conscience. They reached a land where the winters were long, hard and severe, where they were forced to wreat a living out of a rough soil and where many of the native inhabitants, the Indians, were hostile. Frequently they had to go to church with a Bible, hold one arm and a shotgun under the other. Hunger and cold and devastated their ranks, and yet they could give thanks unto God because they saw the beginning of a great commonwealth. When the Hero Can Be Thankful For The North in America is in a similar position to the Pilgrim in India. He is sojourning in a strange land, not because he volunteered and arrived the sea but because he was forcibly brought over to England to slave. He is surrounded by white natives and inhabitants who vastly numb him and who in the main are hardened and difficult to enjoy the comforts and luxuries of the North and West because the trades unions usually bar him, and because in the South wages are small and he faces jim-crow cars, disfranchisement and occasional lynchings and burnings And when he looks abroad he sees the West Indian Negroes working at starvation wages, he sees Cuban Negroes in financial straits and he sees the native African, especially in South Africa, robbed, exploited and oppressed on his native heath And yet there are twelve things that the Negro can be thankful for In the twelfth place he can be thankful that his Excellence the Right Hon Marcus Garvey. President General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and Provisional President of Africa organized the Universal Negro Improvement Association and taught the Negro to do and dare, to strive and achieve, to mobilize his financial, moral and political forces and see wonderful possibilities in Africa, his native land. These are things the Negro can be especially thankful for. In common with all men he can thank God for a world which can support human life, for the marvelous inventions of man, for the sunshine, for the rain, the invigorating breezes, for the flowers, the trees and birds, for mountain scenery, for the beauty of hill and dale, for the radiant glory of sunrise, for the suggestiveness of sunset, for the lap of the water upon the beach on a moonlight night, and for the splendor of the star-set heavens, where the dazzling brilliancy of the constellations of Orion and the Pleiades, where Sirius and Arcturus delight the eye and appeal to the imagination of man So while the millennium has not yet arrived, and probably will not for several years, still the world is in a better state than when it was covered with ice a couple of million years ago and when huge monstera rended and clawed each other. Then let us thank God and look forward to the future with hope. PRIX CONCOURT POST SCRIPT 1922 The Negro can be thankful that Rene Maran won the prize, that Battling Siki defeated Carpentier; that the U. N. I. A delegates to the League of Nations were respectfully received in France, that the Phelpi-Stokes expedition saw possibilities in the African, and that the American Negro is beginning to manifest political independence. He regrets, though, that Siki permitted his signal victory to cause a rush of blood to his cerebral hemispheres, and that Hattis is not yet free and independent. He hopes, also, that the Negro in his political independence will heed the words of Emerson Virginia's most illustrious thinker. "Have a measure." THE BAPTIST CONCLAVE THE Associated Negro Press states that Dr M W D Norman of Washington, Dr. L. K. Williams of Chicago, Dr William H Parka of Philadelphia, Dr William H Moses of New York city and Dr. P. J. Bryant of Atlanta, Ga., are among those seeking the honor of being elected president of the Baptist National Convention which convenes in St. Louis, Mo., on December 6. It says that the choice has narrowed down to Dr. Williams and Dr Norman, with the advantage in favor of the former, who has been indorsed by the State conventions of nine Westerh and Southwestern States. But when we reflect that three of the Western States indorsing Dr Williams have a small Negro population and that the delegates to the Baptist National Convention are not pledged and bound as are the delegates to the Republican and Democratic national conventions by the choice of the State convention, but are free to vote independently it can readily be seen that Dr. Williams, strong and powerful as he may be, has not a cinch on the coveted honor. The Southern States, with their immense vote, are to be considered a powerful factor in the South. Dr. William H. Moses of New York city will get strong backing from the East. His assistant pastor, Dr. H. W. Walker, is making friends for him in the West, and Southern preachers are beginning to rally to his standard. And when neither Dr. Williams nor Dr. Norman can poll enough votes to win, the convention may turn to the brilliant New York preacher, who was a friend of both Dr. Morris and Dr. Boyd, as a compromise candidate. M. CLEMENCEAU'S MISSION THE TIGER is particular to make it clear that he has no axe—personal, political, or otherwise—to grind in coming to lecture in America. This is a conventional politician's gesture. Mr. Clemenceau is France's Grand Old Man. He is nationalistic. He appeals to America's fast vanishing spirit. He wants America to be France's friend as in the war-mad days. He is afraid of Germany Germany is a soildering volcano. Some day—not very far, reminds Clemenceau pathetically—it will burst and throw its melting lava on the beautiful bosom of France. This appeals to the awash buckling thing that is America. Master psychologist that he is, Clemenceau knows this. He knows, also, that to make a hit in America is to make a hit in France. Poincaré has too many points of view. He is something of a humanist. Like Shakespeare, he sees the Other Fellow's side. This is bad for France, concludes Clemenceau. It means the triumph of German Republicanism and the defeat of French nationalism. So the Tiger comes to America Ostensibly it is to refute the charge of being an imperialist. But it is something more than that. Clemenceau is playing to the grandstand again. He is deluded by the trumpets of "peace." He is mistaking the temper of the mob. Yet—so gullible is it—when he gets through with us—mark our word!—he will sail back, a smile on his Mephistophelean face. He will be the next Premier of France. THE MEASURE FOR A NEGRO THE NEW YORK WORLD in its issue of Sunday, November 26, contains a very flattering article upon James Emman Kwegyir Aggrey entitled "African of Royal Family Now Hailed by Educators as Second Booker T. Washington." The celebrated sociologist, Dr Giddings of Columbia University, says of Prof Aggrey "I think Aggrey is likely to take his place with men like Booker T. Washington, Du Bois and Moton. He has the intellectual acumen of Du Bois, the common sense of Washington and the peculiar wit of the African." We have known Prof Aggrey for several years and we esteem him highly as a scholar thinker preacher orator and Christian gentleman. But we don't quite understand the tribute of Dr Giddings. Booker I. Washington and Major Moton were high school graduates. Dr Du Bois is a Harvard PhD. And we do not know whether Dr Giddings intends to place a high school graduate and a Harvard PhD in the same intellectual category. Prof Aggrey is a candidate for a Columbia Ph D and it seems to us that a man with a Columbia Ph D ought to be expected to do a higher kind of intellectual work than a graduate of Hampton and Waxland Seminary whose work was not of the intellectual character to warrant a Yale or Harvard L.D. Harvard gave the man Prof Aggrey is supposed to mitigate an M.A. Yale did not condemn the L.D. degree upon the famous head of Duskegee at her bicentennial but conferred at upon Dr Russell of Hampton claiming that the work of the former was just as high in intellectual character as that of the latter. The old saying is: Because of the grace who come bearing kitties, Noble must take the praise by Caucasians of Negroes with a grail of salt. From the Revolutionary days until 1817 colored men and women like Phyllis Sheatley Lomminum Pameker Rev Lemner Haynes Pint coffee Dr James Deriam Dr Lectory Edward J. not Blyden Dr Alexander Crummell Prot Win Safforthough Dr Frank L. Grumke H. Archbold H. Grumke H. O. Lammer Dr Win Simsan Duntar Chestnut Dr W. W. B. Du Bois Dr Daniel L. William H. H. Morris and Prot Kelly Miller received big praise. Noble was regarded as men of exceptional ability. But since 1895 the tendency has been to only limit and close once those men of McKenzie descent who know their place. During twenty years ago when Prof Kelly Miller of Harvard University was talking and writing about the Negro being a backyard race upon self-effacement in politics and about following the line of mass resistance he was hailed as a man who blended the intellect of Du Bois with the common sense of Dr Booker I. Washington. But in the summer of 1918 Dean Kelly Miller wrote "The Negro and Democracy" and "The Appeal to Reason" in which he told out like a man and wrote philosophically in the same manner as such Prof William James and Prof Joshua Rosee of Harvard or Prof William Graham Summer and Dr George Trumbull Land of Yale would have done. And then the American press stopped using superlatives and giving on adjectival attributives in classifying and cataloguing him. Those who shape public opinion in America must be commended for their keenness. They realize that while a born orator and leader of the masses while possessing high administrative and executive ability, Dr Washington lacked the intellectual equipment to lead the leaders thinkers and scholars of his race. Since his death they have been looking for a scholar who can command the respect of the leaders of his race, and at the structure teach them not to too high. Dr. Du Bois and Dean Miller will not serve their purpose because they occasionally break the traces and give utterance to their inmost convictions. Now they are trying out James Weldon Johnson, Dr Carter Woodson and Prof Aggrey. Education and the Negro But it is expecting too much of a Har ard or Columbia PhD to ask him to have the perspective and the limited intellectual horizon of a high school graduate. Oustave Le Bon was wrong when he said that the Negro could master Latin Greek, French, German and mathematics, but that it would be three hundred years before the educated Negro would react psychically in the same way that the educated white man would. Dr Le Bon was as way off in his psychology here. Instead of having what is called "Freedom of the Wall" we have what Dr Ladd terms "The Freedom of the Mind in Willing." Ideas and desires determine the will. When you widen man's perspective when you enlarge his intellectual horizon you change the ideas and ideals which appeal powerfully to him. And when you change the ideas and ideals which appeal powerfully to him you change the man. It would be exceedingly difficult to find an educated Negro or a Negro soldier whose soul was kindled and who was born anew in the experiences and fiery crucible of the World War assuming and adopting the same philosophy of life: "Uncle Tom," the hero of Harriet Beecher Stowe's famous novel. If Uncle Tom had read Kant, Fichte, Hegel, Lotze, Carlyle, Emerson Royce James Ladd and Sumner he would have been a changed man. He would not have been content to remain a slave, but would have escaped as Frederick Douglass and Lewis Latimer did. AS OF OLD I is exasperating to note the hellish peridont inconsistency of "The Crusis" its editors, indifferent to the spirit of the times continue to perpetuate the monumental legend of calling it a record of the darker races." Of course, we all have our prejudices, personal and editorial, but prejudice must not be tinged with the virus of criminal lopsidedness. "The Crisis' dabbles in statistics. In its department, "The Horizon" is to be found, in the Xmas number, an article on Judge C H Payne of the Virgin Islands. We quote "Christopher H. Payne was born in West Virginia sixy eight years ago of free Negro parentage. He was trained at Richmond Institute and afterward studied law. Mr Payne was the first Negro to be elected to the Legislature of West Virginia, in 1896, and in 1903 he became American Consul to the Danish West Indies, where he served fourteen years. When the United States bought the islands he returned to the practice of law and then was successively appointed Acting Assistant Government Attorney. Acting Judge in St Thomas, Police Judge and Justice of the western part of the island of St Cross, and finally Police Judge of the whole island. Judge Payne is also a member of the Colonial Council. In "The Looking Glass," in the same number of this "record of the darker races," we find the following: "Rothschild Francis tells in the New York Call of the petty persecution received by the Virgin Islanders at the hands of naval officers who represent the United States Government. . . ." Then it goes on to quote Francis, etc., etc. Let us weigh the evidence. We find "The Crisis" boosting Judge Payne. It puts him on an emulatory pedestal. He is a judge—a police judge. It is something for a Negro to be a police judge. We grant that But does "The Crisis" know Judge Payne's record in St. Croix? No, it doesn't. Again, perhaps it does. However, it is here worth rehearsing. As American Consul to St. Thomas, Payne was opposed to the transfer of the Virgin Islands to the United States. He was a spirited opponent of it. The reason for this is not quite clear. Some political wisecracks felt he feared the loss of his $5,000-a-year job. Others, the ones who foresaw the growth of industrial radicalism in the West Indies. (Continued on page 5) OWENS COMPLAINS BECAUSE GARVEY RECEIVED MORE PUBLICITY THAN THE MASONIC CONVENTION Youngstown, Ohio, Nov. 21, 1922. To the Editor of The Negro World Dear Sir, Please allow me a space in your paper to say a word concerning a meeting held by a club called the Augu- tarian club. The purpose of this orga- nization is to be for the better- ment of Negro conditions in Young- stown. This club is having a series of lectu- ries. The first lecturer on the pro- gram was Chandler Owens, a college graduate at the B W T Washington Settlement Monday evening, November The subject was "What Must Wo- tho Be Based." To solve the McTwens stated that they had called a no vention in Wash. region, the majority being white men of race and they organized an organization. The Friends of Negro Freedom. From this organization they have formed a labor committee, to get negroes into jobs where they are not wanted a tenant committee to get residential persons for the Negro where they are not wanted, also entertainment committees a forum committee, and a law office. After summing up the work that these committees have done in the region of New York there are only about one hundred persons benefited. He also stated that the United States is the best place in the world for Negroes. their own purpose was here to the University Negro Improve Association. He stated that the local Negro improvement Assoc is helping the Negroes to hate thems and to keep to themselves. What he said he said that the Negroes are being barred out of the best schools of 4 colleges, and we ought to send some of our boys and girls every year. This shows that the white people want to be themselves. He is trained to make it seem sad and shows the Black Star Line had united the poor Negro out of their dollars of gold dollars for shares in the Black Star Line Inc. and giving them a little piece of paper for security and the Black Star Line is only a memory now to them. He further stated that we can help the Haitians and the Africans here where we are. But there is a certain party here trying to get the Negroes together to go to Africa in a rowboat to capture the British subjects with a paddle. He also said that the Masons had a convention in Washington, and it wasn't even published in the papers, while last summer in August a lego called itself the Provisional President of Africa, with a lot of ostrich plumes in his hat, acting a monkey marching down the streets of New York, was published in all the newspapers and flashed all over the country on the screens. Mr Owens called himself knocking the association, but this was a boost to it for I am sure there were some in the audience who hadn't heard of this. In introducing Mr Owens the speaker stated that Chandler was a thorn in the nation meaning to say a star, but he said it right—he is some thorn. There were many Garveyites in the building and they wouldn't disturb Mr. Owens while speaking. Afterward they went up to Mr. Owens and asked him what did he mean by coming here knocking the movement. He became so weak that he turned as red as a heist. The club members had to rush him into a room in the building to keep him from getting a flogging. Until 12 o'clock that night he hadn't left the building unless he went out by the fire escape. I don't think that Mr. Owens will come to Youngstown again to knock the L.I.A. Hincerely yours, A MEMBER, Youngstown Division No. 123. THE NEGRO IN POLITICS State Journal: The historic speech made in Birmingham Ala. by President Harding some time ago really bore fruit in the recent election. In that memorable speech the President advised the Negro to look in himself for his own salvation. He further advised them to split their votes if they wanted to get full benefit out of the two great parties. The Negro voters have really taken the advice, because the great landslide of the Democratic party all over the country shows exclusively that they are no longer wedded to the good old party but are ready to cast their votes for men who they consider will do good, and not for party. This is surely a good sign. Both sides will wake up to the fact voters want results after the election fever is over. It should be patent to all that the future elections will see a greater fight on the part of the Negro voters than ever before, because he has realised that his salvation lies in the efforts he himself will exert to better his condition. So that the elections in 1923 and 1924 will provide many sensational results in both parties. Our advice is and will be "Vote for the men who will give results when elected." G R. CHRISTIAN.

REVERIES OF FASCINATION REVENUES OF PASSIONATION "Neverles of Fascination," a pheasant enchanting, with a cast of over 100, was presented by Service League of the Charles Sumner Burch Memorial Mission (proposed) at Star Casino, Harlem, on Friday, November 24, 1822. It was a unique pheasant and thellied the spectators. Music was furnished by Aille Ross and his orchestra. Superior was served a la carte, Dr. Alfred T. Robinson of 2207 Seventh avenue acted as chairman of the Committee on Arrangements. K.D.S. 0. E CONFERRED ON : le Jo a 8 His Supreme Highness the Potentate, Hon. Gabriel M.

William Sherrill and His Highness the Hon. G. O, Marke. Also by special executive order the Order of the Nile has been conferred on Sit James O'Neally. These orders have been conferred in secognition of the brilliant work these gentlemen did &t the Geneva sessions of the League of Nations. About the middle of August, 1922, the Universal Negro Im- provement Association at its third international convention voted to send a delegation to present a petition to the League of Nations to ask that the former German colonies be ceded to the Negrocs for government. The delegation, headed by G. O. Marke, a native of Sierra Leone, West Ainea, a graduate of an English college, a former govern- ment clerk, and an editor, and by Professor Adams, a polished, scholarly and distinguished statesman of Hayti and president of the ‘an Francisco Division of the Universal Negro Improvement Asso- eiation, made a profound impression on the League of Nations, and has just returned to America, AS OF OLD ‘Contumed from page 4) deduced that he was against it simply because D Hamilton Jackson was an favor ot So there you go Jackson represents the working class, the black oppressed masses.

Money order payee 81 to time payee the Negroes to come with Negroes. ized and of the United States. You Virgin islanders have been reborn by virtue of the accession of your islands as one of the colonies of the United States and you automatically become citizens of the United States. Thus, being citizens of the United States, whether residing in your former native islands or in any part of America, you have the right of petition as guaranteed in the Constitution for the redress of any wrongs which this government has inflicted upon the people of the islands since its occupancy of the islands. The fact, as I have already stated that the black and colored race in the islands are in the majority does not exempt the federal government from according to them all their constitutional rights, privileges and immunities. You must learn what are your rights as new citizens and then, man fashion, demand them. But you must make your demands as one people, united and determined to secure what is constitutionally yours. You must remember that an army divided is an army defeated. Organizations like this are helpful in spreading propaganda and in doing pioneer work, which is always necessary in a movement such as has been initiated in the Virgin Islands. But to make its work more effective and telling it must mass its energy, intellect and influence in a battery and ally itself with other equally strong agencies engaged in the same work and working in the same end. Concentrated power respects and fears nothing so much as organization intelligently directed. The black and colored people of the Virgin Islands cannot come into their own through the efforts of any one particular society or club or other organization making representations to the government at Washington as to the unilateral conditions now obtaining in these islands and to the prejudice of the complainants. But if all the dissatisfied elements there and in this country unite under one head and make the demand for rights and privileges now arbitrarily withheld or denied the result upon government will be more effective than if this demand came from a dozen different sources, because it will connote that the people are united and are in perfect agreement as to what they need to insure domestic harmony, promote the general welfare and establish in these islands a government of the people, for the people and by the people. The strength of the people thus demonstrated through their delegates would obviously receive the consideration it demands and ultimately the recognition it deserved at the hands of government. The power and potency of unified numbers are always greater and more effective than scattered numbers or groups wanting and demanding action in a given cause. The Virgin Islanders St. Paul in his Epistles to the Epherians knew this when he wrote: "Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might." He meant by this that we should be strong not as the brutes but as men. He strong to resist wrong and to beat it down. "Nothing," says Emerson, "can bring peace but the triumph of principles." The great principle for which Virgin Islanders are now contending involves the question of their status, among the white men alien to their country, calling themselves American citizens and denying to black men, also American citizens, the same rights, privileges and immunities which they enjoy as white men. The Virgin Islanders united and intelligently led can change this condition only by pulling together as one man. Divided they will only furnish the opportunity for the white man not only to continue his arbitrary rule in these islands, but the enactment of legislation, Federal and local, to still further minimize the influence, and cripple the black man there in his fight for larger freedom for his wings. When a race is fighting for its liberty, both of thought and action, it must be prepared to give and take. It must not give too much nor take too little of what is its THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1922 own, and a people organized and determined to get what they want under capable leadership generally succeed in getting what they want if they weary not and faint not. This is my message to Virgin Islanders at home and abroad. Be who is serpents and harmless as doves. Organize and convert all your local, State and national associations into one big organization, a brotherhood of the Virgin Islands, and use this organization as the club with which to compel the government by moralasion, sound logic, common sense and reasoning to succeed to your proper demands by granting to you the privileges, rights and immunities which were youa immediately after these islands became American territory. The American Constitution governs those islands and governs the inhabitants of these islands, and therefore is the supreme law. If you who reside there are amenable to the law you are also entitled to enjoy the protection and the benefits of the law. It must be clear to every intelligent Virgin islander whether he resides in the United States or on his native heath that the battle which is now being waged by Negro patriots now in the United States and at home for justice and equality of rights which are the first of all rights must be fought unitedly and determinedly by all the people through their representatives who are empowered by the people to act in their name, stand and place for the triumph of right over caste and race prejudice and the studied attempts of the representatives of this government in the Virgin Islands to treat its black population as allens to the rights, privileges, benefits and emoluments which are the heritages of American citizens who owe allegiance to this government wherever Old Glory waves. My parting words are. Get together! Stand together! Fight together for every right, as Homer says, "with all thy might." HATS OFF TO BELLEGARDE (Agristie) (Geneva, Switzerland, Europe, September 8, 1922, Haytil took front rank in debates of assembly (League of Nations) when Delegate Bellegarde of that country took floor today and made most eloquent speech of session. The Haytian impressed assembly as no other orator has done when he asked if it were possible that women and children could be slaughtered by airplanes, bombs and machine guns operated by mandatories under authority of League of Nations.) Hear ye, hear ye. Africa's spokesman, a brilliant star, At the League's Conference in Switzerland afar. Telling the nations about the Anglo- Saxons' cruelty. Showing white men that black men know the art of oratory. On to Liberty, ye men of sable hue; Fear not, my brethren, but press on the more, while Faithful Bollegarde attacks the rulers that are vile. Thanks be to Bellegarde for exposing the Anglo-Saxons' unfitness to rule Afric dear— Oh, the atrocities against African women and children committed there! Blessed son of Ham, noble and true, Ethiopia admires you; Lift up quickly Liberty's radiant torch! Lift up Afrio from the Anglo-Saxons' lurch! Earnestly do we plead for Liberty; God is merciful, Afrio shall be free, And Tousaint's spirit shall prevail; Right, triumphs, must always Right triumphs, wrong must always fall; Deal a just blow to Europe's wicked hands, Ere long Ethiopia shall stretch forth her hands, J.

ON TO AFRICA There is rice in Nigeria, Gold and copper in Rhodesia; There is diamond in Griqualand, Sheep and horses in Bastigland, There is cattle in the Transvall, Coffee and sugar in Natal— On to Africa! Egypt is now bathing in the stream of democracy And Morocco is now courting to Miss Liberty; We must be our own boss. So let no one hinder us— On to Africa! Everywhere fresh breezes blew And o'er the land fresh water flow; Pleasant climate, fertile soil. Make one feel happy to toll; There'a good game in the forest. Pretty birds with pretty crest— On to Africa! J. R. RALPH CASIMIR. Dominica, B. W. L.

Birds are flying to and fro. And why do you linger so? Come to me, darling. Come to me, darling; Sweet songs to me sing, Come soothe my sick heart And we'll have some chat, Words which from your mouth do flow Keep my ailing heart aglow.

HEALTH TALKS By DR. E. ELLIOTT RAWLING Diet—For the Tubercular Person What to eat, how much to eat and when to eat are important factors in the treatment of people suffering with tuberculosis. This is so because tuberculosis is a wasting disease, and, by means of the proper nutrition, the tissues of the body are constantly repaired and the strength of the sick one is not utterly lost. It is the foundation to the superstructure of treatment. Tubercular people—that is, those suffering with active symptoms of tuberculosis—should not eat any and everything. At one time medical teaching was to the rule of "forced feeding"—making the patient eat plentifully and often; plenty of meats, four or five quarts of milk, five or six eggs a day. This through experience has been found to be wrong. The rule today is to lessen work and exercise—the patients need rest and quiet—either in the open air or in a bright, properly ventilated room, and thus the wasting of tissues is reduced and the intake of a large amount of foods is not necessary. The stomach and intestines are thus not overburdened and upset, as is so frequently seen in many cases of tuberculosis in which "forced feeding" has been resorted to. In the matter of diet, it is not how much we eat, but, rather, how much of the food taken is digested and assimilated. Every patient is a unit to himself. In some the digestive organ work better than in others, and therefore the amount of food eaten depends upon the efficiency of the stomach, the intestines and liver of the particular patient. The rule is to avoid constipation, partake of a generous diet, varied in character, containing the essential elements of food, which are proteins, carbohydrates, fats and salts. As a rule three meals a day, as in normal health, is sufficient. Quite often digestive disturbances occur. Then it is better to give food more often, but in smaller amounts. The proteins necessary can be obtained from beef, mutton, lamb, poultry, eggs, fish, oysters, milk and cheese as well as from beans and other vegetables. Do not force too much of these foods, for if they do not thoroughly digest, putrefaction occurs, and absorption of this putrefactive poison disturbs the system. Fats are very important in the diet of tubercular persons. Those can be obtained from butter, cream, fat meat, bacon, fish, nuts or vegetable fats. In my experience I have found that those people who need fats more are the ones who dislike this form of diet. So these tubercular patients dislike fat. If they will believe that fats are most important in helping them to overcome this disease, it is surprising how they can develop a liking for them. Do not eat fats in excess, but make it part of the mixed diet. Carbohydrates or starchy material of foods must not be neglected. The chief sources of this form of food is obtained from cereals, potatoes, bread and sugar. Salts are necessary. We find these in fresh fruits and vegetables and to some extent also in cereals. Vitamines are now known to exert a special influence, upon the metabolism of the body. They stimulate growth, they help the digestion and prevent infection. These are to be found in the outer coating of grains, in fresh fruits and vegetables, in eggs, nuts, raw oysters and clams. Milk and eggs must not be relied upon as the chief elements in the diet of tubercular patients. They are easily digested foods, it is true, but to rely on them only and discard the other elements of foods is, from my experience, bad treatment. Water is very necessary, especially if there is fever. It is to be taken between meals. Water taken in the propies amounts flushes out the system, dilutes the circulating poisons and aids in preventing constipation. The diet, then, in a consumptive is most important. Watch the digestive system. Give a mixed diet, and remember that everyone is in a law unto himself. If the patient is gaining in weight then his nutrition is right; if he is losing weight his nutrition is wrong or complications are developing. The diet must be attended to with care and reason, and the physician must be the guide. NOW PLAYING WETTE THEATRE Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday Another Red Hot Show M.

EMONEI CARTER "Sing unto the Lord a new song. — Pa. 149 1 Many years ago a band of pilgrims who had passed through many trying and severe experiences, thought it wise and expedient to pause in the mad rush of life and sing in a new strain. They sang so well and so full of meaning, until this custom has been followed ever since. We believe it a fine custom, because it is commendable to take stock once in a while. Therefore we shall follow in this respect and confine our thoughts along this line. I. Why should we sing unto the Lord a new song? The man, who has come to that place in his experience where he can fully understand the God of his being, who has come to know that God is a part of him, or, better still, that he is a part of God, that person has a right to sing. For this is traveling a long way. The average man's idea of God is far-fetched and unreal. He believes God is some sort of a super-human being, who lives in a far-off beautiful heaven, who looks down upon us, and will receive us where He is when we die, if we are good. Poor misinformed, decluded mortals. Some of us know better, and we have reasons to sing. We sing a new song, because many of us have come to know Him in spirit and in truth. Let us sing because we know God is a God of right, and justice, and truth. That He will do right in spite of seeming indifference. Let us sing because we know He will guide our affairs, if we will do right by our followings, and seek His guidance. II. We should sing unto God. He has given us a greater vision of things material and a larger program, that can be adhered to if we will realize His goodness. When one is burdened or depressed they cannot sing. We sing because we are happy. We are happy because we are contented. We are contented because we have expressed life in its best form. We have expressed life in its best form, because we have come to know God and found ourselves in part. It is a song that rings true, because it proclaims a doctrine which helps a whole people. It is new, because it lifts a struggling people from the plains of lowly thinking, unbelief and utter despair, to that mount of inspiration, confidence and reassurance in his ability to do and achieve freedom of thought, body and person. It is a new song because millions of Negroes throughout the world are lifting up their voices in one grand unison, proclaiming the goodness of God and His faithfulness in giving us the wise and sane leadership of a new Negro, who thinks in terms of justice and equality to black peoples everywhere. It is a new song, because God has given courage to one man to carry on, in the face of untoward circumstance, and wrest victory from every defeat. It is a new song, because this man, who is being led of God, is fearless in his preachments of a free and redeemed Africa. It is a new song, because only the spiritually-minded have conceived and can sing. Those whose eyes are holden with the dust of a white civilization cannot sing. They mean and bewall our lot. They cry and deride our efforts; but we sing the more lustily because God has promi- 1 Violin $9.75 2 Bow 3 Case 4 Method COMPLETE 5 Rosin Wiggest Bargain All Since 1923 Models 1923 Prices Special Low Terms for Oct. and Nov.

THE NEWS AND VIEWS OF U.N.I.A. PORT LIMON DIVISION, 110, CELEBRATED THIRD INTERNATIONAL HOLIDAY AUG. 31 WITH MUCH POMP AND CEREMONY On Thursday, August 31, a large and enthusiastic crowd assembled at the Liberty spot of Port Limon for the purpose of celebrating the third international holiday of Negroes and also for the laying of the cornerstone in erecting a Liberty Hall. The ground was beautifully decorated, the flag of the Red, Black and green floating proudly in the air. The scout boy, and the men of the Legion, under the command of Messrs. Robertson and Collins, scout masters, the Black Cross nurses, under the command of Miss Wilhelmina Robertson, head nurse, the choir and officers of the Advisory Board formed a splendid array to the multitude of spectators. The president, Mr. Daniel T. Roberts after his arrival on the accline at 5 a.m. impected the unit, accompanied by Mr. J. H. Franklin, the lady president, and Mr. E. K. Hart, first vice president who got as apperent-at-arms. The president and the staff next ascended a stand that was erected on the ground while the chair nobly sang the autumn entitled *Bless Our President* associated by a local band that was in attendance. The president in his opening speech showed congratulations on the enthusiastic gathering and carefully explained the purpose of our meeting. He reviewed the aims and objects of the association and exhibited the members to live up to those aims. He next referred to the delegation to the dienema Conference and impressed his audience to adhere closely to this great movement, for the time has come when all Negroes should realize their intrinsic value. We should decide at once, he said, to go ahead unfinishedly in supporting the Hon. Marcus Garvey in the redemption of Africa, the land of our forefathers. The president spoke at length and was greatly applauded. The lady president, Mrs J. H. Franklin, next greeted the audience and in a neat little speech she appeared in earnest to her hearers to link up with this world-wide movement, for the principles set before us by the Hon. Marcus Garvey, our great leader, are just. Hence, we should get together with one consolidated effort to put the program over. The lady president in conclusion reminded her audience that the U. N. L. A. without doubt of successful contradiction is a gigantic organization which tends for the uplifting of our race. She was accorded a hearty vote of thanks. Mr. Mabel Thompson, the second lady vice president, who is enthused with the spirit of Garverston, next gave a fine exhortation which was rather encouraging. Mr E H Hart, the first vice president, who appeared in his uniform as sergeant-at-arms, was the next speaker and in his clear and lucid style said that he was exceedingly pleased to be present on this auspicious occasion. He took for his subject the following words: "Emancipation as untramming of the Negroes," which was explicitly outlined to the assembly. He next referred to the delegation to the General Conference, assuring the enthusiastic gathering that such an event is a mark of improvement for the race, allowing to the uniting efforts of our indomitable leader, the Hon. Marion Gurray. Hence under the circumstances we should not listen to the critics but go ahead uninflishing in order to form a great government in Africa our forefathers land. The speaker further pointed out that it is only by linking together with a firm determination that we can aspire to the result of success. The vice-president was at his best in speaking, deeply impressed with the spirit of the movement, and was booking rather heroic in his uniform, as was discussed by nearly all present. He concluded under woofer applause. Mr. Felix Thompson, secretary of the board of trustees, next gave an inspiring address. He said in part that it is somewhat heart-rending to know that in such a vast crowd the majority do not prepare to be active members of this grand and noble organization. In his speech he pointed out the great aspiration that can be achieved by us through universal principles. Mr. Thompson is a young officer who is famous for his oratory along the lines of the association. He spoke emphatically and was greatly applauded. Mr D R McKenzie, the second vice president was the next speaker, and gave a stirring address. He called upon the audience to give three cheers for the Hon Marcus Garvey, also the Costa Rican government, which was done without hesitation. He admonished his hearers to continue fighting the battle for African redemption. We should take on new courage, with one determination, and at no distant date the flag of the Red, the Black and the Green will be planted on the continent of Africa. (Great plaque) This brought the first part of the celebration to a close at 12 o'clock. With the singing of the anthem at 2 p. m. the enthusiastic crowd next assembled at the laying of the cornerstone. The crowd marched to the spot during the singing of the hymn, "Onward, Christian So'derma." The cornerstone was laid by Mastes Egbert Hart, son of the first vice-president. A gold-plated trowel was given for the occasion by Mr. William Gale, who gave a brief address after the laying of the cornerstone. The crowd was so immense that hundreda could not catch a glimpse of what was going on. The president, Sir. Daniel T. Roberta. resumed his stand during the singing of an anthem by the choir, which was greatly applauded, and in a laudable speech gave thanks to all present for their attendance and proper conduct. He further pointed out to the audience that the Rev. Trottman of the Anglican Church and Rev. Forder of the Baptist were invited to participate in the celebration, but the former assured him in a letter that he read to the audience that the members of his church instructed him not to attend, hence he had to obey them. The latter informed him that he has been misrepresented by the members of the association, so on that account he was unable to attend. The president in continuation said we can easily realise the attitude of some of our Negro parsons toward the movement. We are not disappointed through their absence, for God is with us. It is somewhat appalling, he said, to see how Negroes are hiding away from themselves. Many plan to impede the Hon. Marcus Garvey, but their efforts are futile. In conclusion the president gave thanks to the officials of the United Fruit Co. for suspending operations in order to enable our people to attend the celebration. He was listened to with rept attention, and was greatly applauded. Mr S. L. Gordon, the financial secretary, with his usual eloquence next gave an inspiring and instructive address. He was exceedingly pleased, he said, to meet such an enthusiastic gathering at this, the Emancipation Day Our organization has been badly represented. Some of our people, even among the crowd, have not the slightest idea of the aims and objects of the movement. Many condemn without being acquainted with the fundamental principles thereof. He thereupon outlined the aims and objects of the association, exhorting those who are not yet active members to link together, for unity is strength. This movement was actuated by God Himself, and we should live up to it, to establish a racial confraternity among our race. Those of us who have caught the vision must stand by the Hon. Marous Garvey to put the program over. The financial secretary showered congratulations on his people for the spirit manifested by them from time to time; also to the government for the closing of all business in order to carry out our Emancipation Day to a successful end. Mr. Gordon was greatly applauded. Next was a hymn by the choir entitled "Shine On, Eternal Light," followed by a recitation by Miss Daisy Gale, secretary of the Ladies' Division. Mr. R. M, Pluncket, after greeting all present, said that in spite of all the obstacles that confronted us, even those who are opposed to the movement are present to witness the laying of the cornerstone; hence it is for us as new Negroes to entertain great hope for its future success. The speaker made a strong appeal to the audience to adhere closely to this world-wide movement for Africa's redemption, for Africa is for the Africans at home and abroad. The president in his closing speech congratulated all present for the enthusiasm displayed during the celebration Special mention must be made of Miss Minnie Britton, the organist of the Association, who ably presided at the organ. After the singing of the anthem the photographs of the officers, the unit of Black Cross Nurses, the men of the Legions and Boy Scouts were taken by Mr. Clarence Rocke, a popular photographer of Limon, also a member of the board of trustees. At 7 o'clock a mammoth garden party was held on the grounds and a fine MADAM IDA B. JEFFERSON, EVANGELIST OF 10th EPISCOPAL DIST. A. M. E.

The pleasure necks tripped the slight fantastic toe until 2 a.m. ESTRADA DIV., U. N. I. A., GREETS COMMISSIONER CHARLES H. BRYANT On Sunday, October 29, we received the first royal visit of the Lion. Charles H. Bryant, Commissioner for the Republics of Costa Nica, Panama and Nicaragua. Upon the announcement of his unexpected arrival the news flashed throughout the length and breadth of the community. Accordingly, on the day appointed for his visit, before the hour of commencement arrived our Liberty Hall was cramped to its utmost capacity. The following was the form of procedure of the two meetings held for the day, one at 3 p.m. and the other at 7 p.m. The Commissioner was escorted from a nearby residence by three officers of the division. On reaching the door of Liberty Hall the audience arose and, with voices that the angels must have listened to, sung the favorite hymn, "Onward, Christian Soldiers," while the escort lead the Commissioner to the platform at the end of the hymn. The usual form of procedure for mass meetings in accordance with our rituals was daily dispensed with by our chaplain, M. O. Samuel. This being done, the chairman for the evening. Mr J. C Duncan, a very active member of the division, in a brief and able mannen, introduced the purpose of the gathering. Miss D. Johnson and Mrs. M. Bailey rendered a dust; also Mr. S. D. Britton a solo. Both renditions were well applauded. A welcome address from the division was then presented to the Commissioner, followed by the introduction of the said gentleman, the speaker for the evening. The Hon. Charles H. Bryant arose amid vociferous cheering and thanked the house for their kind welcome. He took for the subject of discourse "The Efficacy of Time and the Production Use of Mankind." For over one and a half hours he electrified his hearers with the eloquence of his speech, declaring in conclusion that God will reckon with Negroes for their time upon earth as well as any other nation. He then promised to speak again at the 7 o'clock meeting. The meeting was then brought to a close by the singing of the first verse of the national anthem. Before the hour of 7 came the hall was again crammed with faces, all eagerly awaiting the arrival of the Commissioner. Duly at 7 sharp he again entered and took his seat. At this juncture the chairman read two communications from the parent body relative to the Defense Fund of His Excellency the Hon. Marcus Garvey and two others of the associates and pleaded with those present to attend to this very important matter. The speaker for the evening was again introduced and was also asked to conduct the ceremonies of installation of the new officers of the division. After commenting on the emergency of the communication, showing that the character and dogged perinacity of our leaders demanded our serious consideration, the installation was duly dispensed with Names of officers: A. Drummond, president; S. D. Britton. first vice-president; F. S. Bell, second vice-president; J. N. Dennis, third vice-president; J. N. Malcolm, secretary; J. A. Samuels, chaplain. This being done, he proceeded to again stir his hearers with his eloquence, taking for his subject "The Virtue of Persistence in the Face of Gross Antagonism." He wound up by saying he expected to be with the division for the following day to attend to its business affairs, but owing to strict legal business matters in connection with the association he could not stay. However, we wish the Commissioner godsend through the rest of his sojourn until he returns to give us the rest of the news of our third international convention. ```markdown ``` THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1923 U. E. WELLINGTON.

All such money should be sent to the Executive Officer, Official or Representative money on the field does so at that time, to entertain any Officer, Official or Representative who attempts to borrow money from your Division. Never before has greater appreciation been shown a public speaker by a Bermudian audience than on Wednesday evening last, when the Hon. Dr. R. H. Tobit, High Commissioner of the Eastern Province of the West Indies and South America, addressed a mass meeting or the Antilles cricket field, commonly known as "The Box." The grounds were illuminated with electric lights, while from the grandstand was seen proudly flying the emblematic flag of the Negro race—the Red, the Black and the Green, supported on each side by the Union Jack and Old Glory. In spite of inclement weather the audience gathered early, and although slight showers sent the people to cover three times, yet they returned, each time more animated to listen to the sweet music discursed by the U. N. I. A. local silver band, Länder Bandmaster Maro Williams, and to the doctor's lecture. The Hon. Rev. E. B. Grant, president of the local division, occupied the chair and gave the opening address. The musical part of the program ended, the chairman introduced the High Commis-sioner as the speaker of the evening. On the commissioner rising, the U. N. I. A. Band struck up the Ethiopian national anthem, after which a fouling cheer greeted the doctor. With a few preliminary remarks the speaker launched out upon his most interesting subject, "The U. N. I. A.: Its Policy and Its Phenomenal Growth." Not a stone was left unturned in setting forth to an intelligent audience the righteous aims of the Universal Negro Improvement Association as founded by the Hon. Marous Garvey; its policy from an educational, religious, social, industrial, commercial and political viewpoint, and its wonderful growth within a few years from thirteen members to about six millions. In dealing with the educational, religious, commercial and political aspects he delved into ancient history, emerging each time with fresh laurels for the Negro race in its contribution to the civilization of the world. The doctor spoke for an. hour and a half, and no one wanted him to stop, so rich was the flow of knowledge from his fluent and eloquent lips. Many persons, white and colored, were heard to say afterward that it was a rare treat to listen to the address, which clarified their minds and removed all doubts and prejudice therefrom relative to the U. N. I. A. Rev. E. B. Grant brought the meeting to a close with a splendid address, which contributed to the success of the evening's program. REPORTER.

The open fields, the muddy meadow, The behiarious waves that poke by, And madly Daymates which deny. Yet for a moment I forget. The cares and sorrows that oppress. To accept the gift of a single flower Plucked from Nature's greater bower. What ecstasy, what pleasant hour, Receiving such a grandest flower The flower of my choice and thought. An article of greater worth! That rose! that rose! "the queen of flowers!" For it I exercise my powers. Who would be so ungrateful thus To hide a thanks receiving much? And for that rose which I received Accept my thanks. I pray you please. Crumbled, decayed, it's gone, that flower. Which was the pride of Nature's bowen.

THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1822 Restringiendo las Cuotas de Inmigración Un concerciante solvente de Marruecos y su esposa, ambos distinguidos, desean dirigirse a Sud America Vienna a Nueva York propionoide ver la ciudad antes del transbordo, y son deportados porque la cuota de immigration anual correspondiente a Marruecos ha quedado cubierta. El Problema de Razas Requiere Actualmente una Consideración Mas Seria—La Actitud del Blanco Ha Sido Siempre Subyugar y Explotar a las Demás Razas—La Asimilación No Ha de Salvarnos Toda Vez que el Prejuicio Exista La misma la fuerza a regresar a su patria a un distinguido señor porque su esposa, española, esta fuera del limite de la cuota correspondiente a España Verdaderamente, son ejemplos asislados, pero característicos La base proporcional de la limitación de la inmigración no ha sido jamás justificada en principio. Cuando nias es un torpe expediente. liempo es ya de que consideremos el problema de razas, principalmente en este lado del Atlantico, con toda la seriedad requerida por el caso. Hemos estado indecisos acerca del resultado derivado del contacto entre las razas en esta parte del globo por largo tiempo. Pruebas para la admission basada en el estado de salud, en la solvencia económica y en los antecedentes del emigrado, son reconocidos como necesarios y no ofrecen terreno alguno para objeto Pero infligir la humillación de la deportación a personas enteramente dignas, cuya presencia en cualquier otro concepto seria absolutamente bien acogida, a simplemente porque un número determinado de sus compatriotas hanse adelantado a ellos en el ingreso a los Estados Unidos, parece una política tan absurda como cruel Cierto elemento de nuestra raza que se precia de intelectual esta en la creencia de que en pocos años mas, los pueblos blancos del universo decidirán asimilarse la población negra, destruyendo por consiguiente todo prejuicio racial al admitir nuestro elemento en el círculo social del hombre blanco y que de esta fusión de razas ha de surgir un tipo especial. Si otra nación nos aplicase tal política, nos sentiríamos agraviados y con razon indignados. Nuestra opinión sobre el particula varia de cierto modo. La realización de tales ideas tardará centenares de años. Con el objeto de entrar en el concierto de la igualdad, cada raza tendrá que elevarse a la altura de la civilización contemporánea por medio de su propio escluciro, captandose de ese modo el respeto y la consideración de la demas. La huella regla antigua de menter mer las puertas de ingreso elastic mente abiertas para todos los digos de entrar en el país hizo mucho para el engrandecimiento de los Estados Unidos Si nos falta en tal forma la confianza en nuestro poder de asimilación que no podemos tener valor para volver a ella, podríamos por lo menos buscar una base más logica de exclusión que la cuota proporcional —N Y. American La Asociacion Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra conta en la determinacion e iniciativa del Negro, pudiendo hacer este todo cuanto cualquier otro ser haya hecije no solamente en esta parte del globo, sino en el universo entero, para ponerse al nivel de progreso y gozar de los mismos privilegios que elementos de otras razas disfruen en la actualidad. Sobre el Reconocimiento de Méjico Las republicas centro yudamericanas estan ejercedo presión amistosa a fin de que se reconozal goberno de México La relación entre las razas, principalmente en el continente americano, es simplemente una broma para aquellos que opunan que esta puede resolverse por medio de asimilación. El blanco de America no esta actualmente dispuesto bajo circunstancia alguna a asociarse con nuestro elemento, por creer cometer un crimen en contra de su propia raza. La cuestión de prejuicio de razas es para el hombre blanco a nuestro entender un sentimiento eterno y ninguna circunstancia ha de cambiar su modo de pensar sobre el particular. Consideráse necesaria la presencia de Méjico en la conferencia panamericana que tendrá lugar en Santiago, Chile, el mes de marzo próximo. Méjico es un país miembro de la Union Panamericana. Sus problemas figur, entre los más importantes, por lo que respecta a las relaciones panamericanas. La Union ha celebrado una consulta con el secretario de estado Hughes, a fin de discutir el programa de la conferencia. Dicho funcionario, espérase, residirá la misma St los Estados Unidos no reconocen a Méjico antes de que se formule el programa, se supone que las republicas centro y sudamericanas tratarán de someter bases para un arreglo entre los gobiernos de Méjico y los Estados Unidos. Todá vez que el Negro no cambie de condición; toda vez que el Negro ocue la misma posición de inferioridad entre las razas y naciones, existirá el prejuicio en su contra, por no hallarse en condiciones de demandar el respeto y la consideración que ninguna raza o nación pueda negarle. Predomina la opinión de que, en la próxima conferencia de la Union Panamericana se unirán de un modo muy estrecho todas las republicas del hemisferio occidental La eterna actitud de la raza blanca es subyugar, explota y si necesario fuera, exterminar a los pueblos débiles con los cuales entra en contacto. El hombre blanco subyuga de primera intención, a renglón siguido explota y si los pueblos débiles se disponen a no ser subyugados y explotados, recurre finalmente al exterminio de esos pueblos o razas débiles. Tal fue la suerte del indio americano y de otros tantos pueblos en los distintos países por el habitados actualmente. Plegaria Oh espiritus tutelares de mis antepasados, de mis mayores ejemplares, de mis padres edificantes. Venid a mi lado y servid de mudos pero sagrados testigos de mi fe al darme yo mismo, con mis ancias, al hautino de deseo para ingresar al nuevo, admirable culto que consumari la salvacion de la rara a que pero tenecisteis, de vuestros hermanos a quentes amantes: infundidime el aliento que me permina trabajar con honor y con fruto bajo las banderas de Marcus Garvev, el caudillo con quien sofarion vuestras mentes, por cuyo advenimiento suspiraron vuestros pechos v a quien contemplasteis con los opos de la fe en la plenitud del triunfo, en el delirio de la apoteosis, en la sublumidad de la redencion. Custodiad, carisimos espiritus, estas paginas y cuantas para el Honorable Garvey suscriba, decidle que ellas son y seran la confesion intuma, entrafiable de mi fervor por su nusión; movedlo a una justa interpretacion de cuanto deigna; decidido a que me aliste entorno a sus estandares de gloria. Desde vuestras tumbas, padres idolatrados, clamad en lo más profundo de Marcus Garvev "Haz nuestras veces para con nuestro Luís Carlos' Marcus, v ahi a tu hijo". In este pais de libertad y democracia no podremos esperar un solo día de amistad o relación social. Nuestro semejante no tiene la inclinación hacia tal actitud, por creer firmente en la superioridad de su raza. El hombre blanco es actualmente poder y progresa en todas direcciones, todo cuanto el haya adquirido es el resultado de su propio esfuerzo. Nada mas natural, nada mas humano es que el hombre progresista se cleve y retenga su posición de superioridad, lo mismo acontece a las razas y a las naciones. Mientras mas fuerte la raza, mas orgullosos los elementos que la constituyen, mientras mas poderosa la nación, mas respetados sus ciudadanos El sentimiento de prejuicio esta profundamente arraigado en la mente del hombre blanco de America y no ha habido aun razón humana que le haga desistir de tal modo de pensar. El malestar que entre nosotros produce tal sentimiento solamente puede ser contrarrestado por medio del plan delineado por la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra. Debemos y tenemos que reconstruirnos como raza; elevarnos a la posición de verdaderos hombres; hombres de iniciativa, hombres de valor y poder, hombres de grandes realizaciones, adquiriendo de ese modo el puesto que nos corresponde en la gran lucha por nuestra existencia. LUIS CARLOS PIZARRO Carpentier Solicita Justicia Para Siki La actitud de las otras razas no ha de cambiar, hasta que no cambie nuestra condición actual. Nuestra absoluta emancipación se impone; necesitamos reconstruir una cultura y una civilización propia. Todo pueblo o raza que accepte protección de otro puèblo o de otra raza esta en el peligro de ser subyugado por aquellos de quienes aceptó tal influencia. Toda vez que nuestra raza se disponga a hacer lo que cualquier otro ser humano haya hecho, la humanidad se preservará de usurpar nuestros derechos. Carpentier, que perdio el título de campeon de boxeo de peso completo en el encuentro que sostivo recientemente en Paris con el pugilista senegalese Siku, ha solicitado hoy de la federacion francesa de boxeo que vuelva sobre su acuerdo y levante la descalificación que ha impuesto a Siki Carpentier maniesta que ello le daria oportunidad de celebrar un encuentro con aquel y reconquistar así el título que perdio.

REPORT OF THE PHELPS-STOKES FUND THROWS LIGHT ON AFRICA International Commission Says "Dark Continent" Is Really "Continent of Great Misunderstandings"—Discusses Wealth, Health, Native Capacity and Foreign Influence as Basis for Comprehensive Scheme for Educational Development NEW YORK, Nov. 18.-Africa as the "Continent of Great Misunderstanding," with the emphasis upon its vast potential strength in raw materials and in the development of its native peoples, rather than as the "Dark Continent," with emphasis on the jungle and savagery, in the theme of a report published by the Philsa-Hones Fund today as a result of an intensive study of the "hygienic, economic, social and religious condition of the native people" by an international commission of experts in the educational and missionary fields. The idea of making the study originated with the Protestant missionary boards of North America, who enlisted the co-operation of the British missionary societies, the Phelps-Stokes Fund and the colonial offices of Great Britain France and Belgium. Publication of the commission's findings comes at a time when the problem of mandatories has given Africa significant position in international affairs, and its detailed discussion of conditions in Liberia becomes available for those who are interested in the $ 50,000,000 loan to that Republic, which is scheduled for final consideration when the Senate meets. In making its study the commission spent ten months in the field during the fall of 1920 and following winter, and traveled more than 25 000 miles through west south and equatorial Africa. Scores of schools and mission stations supported by the churches of America and Europe were visited, colonial officials and European traders were consulted, and native chiefs were interviewed in the first comprehensive effort ever made to study the accomplishments and potentialities of a century of influence through traders, government officials and missionaries. More than seventy-five photographs and maps are used to illustrate the report. Personnel of Commission Chairman of the African Education Commission and writer of its official report is Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones, director of Education of the Phasthokes Fund and author of 'Negro Schools in the United States, which was issued by the United States Bureau of Education in 1911. Other members are James Limman Kwagie Aggie, a member of the Fanti tribe of the Gold Coast, who received his higher education in this country and is now a professor in Livingstone College, in North Carolina; Dr. Henry Stanley Hollenback of Wisconsin who has been for twelve years 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, who were appointed by the Conference of Missions Societies of At Britain and Ireland to represent British societies. Leo A Roy of New York city, an expert in industrial education served as a re-retirement of the commission and the Royal John T. Tucker of the American board in Angola, served as a member until illness in his family caused his resignation. Besides the backing of the various missionary societies the commission had the cordial support of the government officials, and Gen Jan C. Brunu, Premier of the Union of South Africa, assigned Dr C T Loram, a member of the Native Affairs Commission, to accompany the party during the 7000 miles traveled in South Africa. Members of the commission also acknowledge the hearty welcome and cooperation given them by the educated Africans. Publication of the complete report has been preceded by reports to mission and government officials on special subjects, the most important being the one requested by the Belgian Government for distribution to the officials in the tongue. The visit of the commission to Africa has also resulted directly in inducing a number of colonial officials, leading missionaries and educated Africans to come to America for the purpose of studying the activities of the General Education Board, the Jeannes, Slater and Rosenwald funds such institutions as Hampton and Tuskegee, county training schools, the inter-racial co-operation movement of the South, the farm demonstration work of the United States Department of Agriculture, and other significant educational developments, to which frequent reference is made in the report's suggestions for the further development of education and inter-racial co-operation in Africa. Four Main Misconceptions "Africa is not the 'Great Dark Continent,' but the 'Continent of Great Misunderstanding,'" is the opening sentence of the commission's report, which continues: "The popular presentation of Africa has been too frequently in the form of journalistic accounts of 'Darkest Africa.' What a difference between the news stories of a Stanley and the interpretations of a Livingstone! Stanley, a vigorous administrator, a rushing explorer, compelled to satisfy the demands of a reading world by dramatic accounts of a wild country and a savage people. Livingstone, an observing scientist, a patient explorer, a missionary, eager to know the country and the people. How different would be the present conceptions of Africa if the continent had been more largely interpreted to the world by the sympathetic Livingstone rather than by the brilliant and journalistic Stanley. African travelers seem still to be controlled by the desire to exploit the thrills of wild life on the 'Last Frontier' rather than to describe the realities of con- nomic resources, the inspiring scenery and the human possibilities. "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. The first of these misunderstandings relates to the wealth of resources and natural scenery the second is concerned with the healthfulness of the continent and the promising possibilities of sanitary improvement, the third has to do with the improvability of the African people; the fourth with European and American influences. Every section visited offered convincing evidences of the injustice of current misconceptions on these important matters." Woalth of Resources Dr. Jones points out that the 'immense and varied physical resources of Africa are practically unknown to the civilized world' largely because the researches so far made have been for private or governmental use and the results have not been published. "There is sufficient evidence of potential wealth," he continues, "to convince the most skeptical that Africa is the undeveloped treasure house of the world." He cites the diamond fields of Kimberley, the gold ridge of Johannesburg, the coal mines of Rhodesia, the Kataanga copper plateau of Belgian Congo and the oil areas of Angola. Every colony has some of the precious metals in forms and quantities profitable for commerce he says, and a number of the colonies, and also the Republic of Liberia have immense quantities of water power. The forest and agricultural possibilities have scarcely been touched, and animal husbandry is even less developed, although the great valleys and vast plans and plateaus are well adapted to enormous production. Healthfulness 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," says the NRC. A fair comparison of Africa with other parts of world will undoubtedly show that Africa will respond to modern methods of sanitation and hygiene in exactly the same way as continents of similar climatic, economic and social conditions." Do Jamaica then point out that Africa, like every other land of continental proportions, has all types of climate, due to differences in latitude and altitude. British South Africa, which is one half the area of the United States, is for instance almost entirely in the south temperate zone. All the West Coast colonies have some high sections, where the tropical heat is favourably modified. The great Congo Basin has an average altitude of 1,000 feet Even on the lower levels, where mosquitoes and tassel flies have been a measure to health and life, the report continues, *Immersionariar*, merchants and government officials are living with considerable safety and comfort. Members of the Education Commission were repeatedly impressed by the sight of Europeans and Americans who have lived in three regions for many years. In one American mission station Jut where the Congo river crosses the Equator, the Commission saw four American families with seven children, all in good health. In another station on the Lower Congo there were two American missionaries and their wives who have served on average of forty years in that region indulgent for malaria and sleeping sickness. Next by was also a station of Jesuit fathers and brothers who had lived in the region for over twenty-five years, and who had eliminated both sleeping sickness and malaria so that they could live with safety and comfort and maintain a large herd of cattle, though cattle are even more sensitive to sleeping sickness than human beings. "The health experience of the Education Commission is most reassuring to travelers in Africa. This party of Americans and Europeans with one native African traveled 25,000 miles for ten months in coast and interior regions of Africa, absolutely without illness from any African cause. The only precautions required were helmets in the tropics, daily quinine in malarial regions, and boiled drinking water where the supply was not supervised." Improvability of the African People Stating that "the most unfortunate and unfair of all the misunderstandings is to the effect that the African people do not give promise of development sufficient to warrant efforts in their behalf," the report continues; The improvability of the African people is clearly shown by their response to the efforts of missions, governments and commercial organizations. 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 clinical 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 Africans 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 folklore, 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." European and American Influences European and American Influences That the progress of all peoples is dependent upon co-operative relationships with other people, and that the influence of the white races on Africa has so far been, on the whole, good, are the conclusions of the commission. Extracts from this section of their report read: "Some have thought that the influences of Europeans and Americans have been more for evil than for good. Some have thought that it would have been better to leave the African in his natural condition. Few have realised the importance of the movements that have been started and the changes that have been wrought. It must be stated that many mistakes have been made and many injustices have been perpetrated. In some sections the Africans have suffered tragically at the hands of selfish white exploiters. Evil influences originated by white people still persist in too many parts of Africa. It is, however, the emphatic conviction of the Education Commission that the gains that have come to Africa through the white man are far greater than the losses. "Among the most convincing evidences of this conviction are those obtained from a study of the portions of Africa now ruled by European nations. The elements of life that reflect the changes introduced by the white groups have been the improvement of physical well-being, including the decrease of sickness and death and the attendant suffering; the decrease and often the elimination of the power of witchcraft, a form of oppression exceedingly general and cruel; the overthrow of intertribal slavery; the development of friendly relations among tribes formerly hostile; the extension of the economic benefits of the country to all the tribes, and the opening of the doors of civilization to those who were formerly limited to the narrow compass of their tribes. "It is true that the extension of commercial, industrial and even governmental influences sometimes have too often been attended with suffering on the part of the native people. The early periods of adjustment to the new forces are especially trying. But in the long run one of the best measures of the final influence of the white group upon the native peoples is the increase or decrease of population. So long as there are no records of the feelings of the native masses, we must rely upon the only vital measure that reflects the condition of the majority of the group, namely, the power of the group to maintain life. On this basis the statistics of most of the colonies show a decided increase in population and therefore an improvement in general welfare. The African areas and colonies where decreases are indicated are known from other sources to be suffering from wrong governmental, economic or social policies." Contribution of the Mislonarian The missionaries, through their devotion to the people, their efforts in behalf of education and their emphasis upon morals and morale, have made the most fundamental contribution of all." The report concludes. 1. "Fortunate it is for the native people of Africa, and fortunate for the stability of government and the prosperity of commerce and industry, that men and women have been inspired by the Christian religion to devote their lives without price and without praise to the development of human character. The significance of Christian missions has not been adequately appreciated by any of the groups concerned in Africa, much less by the world in general. The belief of the missionaries in service to humanity as a fundamental principle of life, and their teaching of this principle is, it has been revealed to the world through Jesus Christ, to the most vital element in the development of Africa, and of Africana. Without the power and authority of the Christian religion to mould the influences of government, commerce, industry and native life there can be little hope for the future of Africa." 10 GARVEY DEFENSE FUND Total..... $4,948.09 Correction In the issue of the Negro World of November 18 there appeared the following statement: Key West Division, Key West, Fl., $48.60.
