XIII. No. 26 FELLOW MEN OF THE NEGRO RACE, Greeting: I have to bring to your attention this week the greatest bit of treachery and wickedness that any group of Negroes could be capable of. The thing is so shocking, so vicious and murderous as to make it impossible for any self-respecting person to imagine that any one, other than a culprit of the meanest kind, could be responsible for its authorship. Honor Among Thieves It is said that there is honor even among thieves, but it is apparent that there is no honor and self-respect among certain Negroes in that they would resort to the meanest and lowest methods possible, not only to pilfer the pockets of their brothers but to rob one of his fair name. Stealing a man's money is, as Shakespeare says, trash, but to injure a man's reputation, to tarnish his character, is a crime of the lowest kind which not even ordinary thieves would indulge in. To further imagine that a group of colored men could be responsible for writing to the Attorney General of the United States of America and to the white people at large in endeavoring to prejudice them against fellow Negroes whose only crime has been that of making an effort to improve the condition of the race is beyond the conception of the most fertile imagination; nevertheless, the thing has been done by a group of New York Negroes who have written their names down everlastingly as enemies of their own race by maliciously, wickedly and treacherously endeavoring to so misrepresent their race which represents the minority group in a majority civilization as to cause that majority group to unwillingly, and not of its own accord, impose such punishment upon the race as to make it harder for us to survive in the country of our common adoption. Writing to U. S. Attorney General The following vicious and wicked letter was written by a group of men whose names are appended hereto and directed to the Honorable Attorney General of the United States of America. My comment will continue at the end of the communication. The letter to the Attorney General: 2305 Seventh Avenue. New York City, Jan. 15, 1923. How H. M. Daugherty, United States Attorney-General, Department of Justice, Washington, D.C. Dear Sir, 1. As the chief law enforcement officer of the nation, we wish to call your attention to a heretofore unconsidered menace to harmonious race relationship. There are in our midst certain Negro criminals and potential murderers both foreign and American born who are moved and actuated by intense hatred against the white race. These undesirable continually proclaim that all white people are enemies to the Negro. They have become so fanatical that they have threatened and attempted the death of their opponents, actually assassinating in one instance. 2. The movement known as the Universal Negro Improvement Association has done much to stimulate the violent temper of this dangerous element. Its president and moving spirit is one Marcus Garvey, an unscrupulous demagogue, who has ceaselessly and assiduously sought to spread among Negroes distrust and hatred of all white people. 3. The official organ of the U. N. I. A. The Negro World, of which Marcus Garvey is managing editor sedulously and continually seeks to arouse ill-feeling between the races. Evidence has also been presented of an apparent alliance of Garvey with the Ku Klux Klan (4) An erroneous conception held by many is that Negroes try to cloak and hide their criminals. The truth is that the great majority of Negroes are bitterly opposed to all criminals, and especially to those of their own race, because they know that such criminals will cause increased discrimination against themselves. (5) For U. N. I. is composed chiefly of the most primitive and ignorant element of West Indian and American Negroes. The so-called respectable element of the movement are largely ministers without churches, physicians with out patients, lawyers without clients and publishers without readers, who are usually in search of "easy money." In short, this organization is composed in the name of Negro sharks and ignorant Negro fanatics. (6) This organization and its fundamental laws encourage violence. In its constitution there is an article prohibiting office holding by a convicted criminal UNEPI SUCH CRIME IS COMMITTED IN THE INTEREST OF THE U. N. I. Marcus Garvey is tolerant of free speech when it is exercised in criticism of him and his movement, his followers seeking to prevent such by threats and violence. Striking proof of the truth of this assertion is found in the following cases. (7) In 1920 Garvey's supporters rushed into a tent where a religious meeting was being conducted by Rev. A. Claston Powell in New York City and sought to do bodily violence to Dr. Charles S. Morris, the speaker of the evening—who they had heard was to make an address against Garveyism—and were prevented only by the action of the police. Shortly afterward members of the Baltimore branch of the U. N. I. A attempted bodily injury to W. Ashbie Hawkins, one of the most distinguished colored attorneys in America, when he criticized Garvey in a speech. During the same period an anti-Garvey meeting held by Carol Briggs, then editor of a monthly magazine—the Crusader—in Rush Memorial Church, New York City, on a Sunday evening, was broken up by Garveyites turning out the lights. (8) Several weeks ago the Garvey division in Philadelphia caused such a disturbance in the Saleen Baptist Church, where Attorney J. Austin Norris, a graduate of Yale University, and the Rev J W H Eason were speaking against Garvey, that the police disbanded the meeting to prevent a riot of blood-shed. Reports state the street in front of the church was blocked by Garveyites who insulted and knocked down pedestrians who were on their way to the meeting. (9) In Los Angeles, Cal., Mr Noah D Thompson, a distinguished colored citizen of that city employed in the editorial department of the Los Angeles Daily Express, reporting adversely on the Garvey movement as a result of his visit to the annual convention, was attacked by members of Garvey's Los Angeles division, who, it is alleged, had been invited to violence by Garvey himself, and only through the help of a large number of police officers was Thompson saved from bodily harm. (10) A few months ago, when some persons in the Cleveland, Ohio, Division of the U. N. L. A. asked Dr. LeRoy Bundy, Garvey's chief assistant, for an accounting of funds a veritable riot took place, led, according to the Pittsburgh American, by Bundy himself. (11) In Pittsburgh, Pa., on October 23 last, after seeking to disturb a meeting conducted by Chandler Owen, editor of the Messenger Magazine, Garveyites who had lurked around the corner in a body rushed on the street car after the meeting, seeking to assault him, but were prevented by the intervention of the police. (12) When William Pickens, who had co-operated in the expose of the Garvey frauds, was to deliver an address in Toronto, Canada, Garveyites met him on the steps of the church, with hands threateningly in their hip pockets, trying to intimidate him, lest he should further expose the movement.

AND GARVEY STAND FOR LOVE AND HUMAN BROTHERHOOD—WHITE PEOPLE WELL KNOW THAT THE NEGRO IS HIS OWN ENEMY— ACTION OF EIGHT TRAITORS PROVE SAME TO BE TRUE All Broad-Minded White People Are in Sympathy With U. N. I. A. to Help Race Improve Itself (13) In Chicago, after seeking to free up an anti-Garvey supporter shot a policeman who sought to prevent him from attacking the speaker as he left the building. (14) In New York last August during a series of meetings conducted by the Friends of Negro Freedom to expose Garvey's scheme and methods, the speakers were threatened with death. Scores of Garveyites came into the meetings with the avowed intention of breaking them up. This they were prevented from doing by the stern determination on the part of the leaders, the activist of the New York police and the great mass of West Indians and Americans who clearly showed that they would not permit any cowardly ruthens to break up their meetings. (15) In fact, Marcus Garvey has created an organization which in its fundamental law condens and invites to crime. This is evidenced by section A of Article V of the Constitution of the U N I A, under the caption "Court Reception at Home." It reads, "No one shall be received by the Potentate and his Consort who has been convicted of felony. EXCEPT SUCH CRIME OR FELONY WAS COMMITTED IN THE INTEREST OF THE UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION AND THE AFRICAN COMMUNITIES LEAGUE." (16) Further proof of this is found in the public utterances of William Sher roll, one of the chief officials in the organization and Garvey's envoy to the League of Nations Assembly at Geneva. Speaking at the Goldfield Theatre in Baltimore, Md., on August 18, 1922, he is quoted as saying "BLACK FOLK AS WELL AS WHITE WHO TAMPER WITH THE U N I A ARE GOING TO DIE." (17) What appears to be an attempt to carry out this threat is seen in the assault and slashing with a razor of one S. Saxon by Garveyites in Cincinnati, Ohio, when he spoke against the movement there. (18) On January 1, this year, just after having made an address in New Orleans, the Rev J W H Eason, former "American Leader" of the Garvey movement, who had fallen out with Garvey and was to be the chief witness against him in the Federal Government's case, was waylaid and assassinated, it is reported in the press, by the Garveytes. Rev Eason identified two of the men as Frederick Dyer. 12. a long-shoreman and William Shakespeare, 28. a painter. Both of them are prominent members of the U. N. L. A. in New Orleans, one wearing a badge as chief of police and the other as chief of the Fire Department of the "African Republic" Dr. Eason's dying words, identifying the men whom he knew from long acquaintance in the movement, were (19) "I had been speaking at Bethany and was on my way home when three men rushed out at me from an alley. I saw their faces and (pointing at Dyer and Shakespeare) I am positive that these two men here are two of the three." (20) The vicious inclination of these Garvey members is seen in their comments in an interview: (21) (The N Y Amsterdam News reports) "Both Dyer and Shakespeare have denied the attack, but declared they were glad of it, as they said Eason richly deserved what he got. 'Eason,' said one of them, 'was a sorrowhead. The association made him what he was. When he was expelled because of misconduct he went up and down the country preaching against Marcus Garvey, who is doing great good for our race. Someone who evidently thought it was time to stop his lies took a crack at him. I don't blame the one that did it. Eason richly deserved what he got." (22) Eason says he knew the men who shot him were directed to do so. In so much, however, as the assassination of Mr. Eason removes a Federal witness, we suggest that the Federal Government probe into the facts and ascertain whether Eason was assassinated as the result of an interstate conspiracy emanating from New York. It is significant that the U. N. L. A. has advertised in its organ, The Negro World, the raising of a defense fund for those indicted for the murder, seemingly in accordance with its constitution. (23) Not only has this movement created friction between Negroes and whites, but it has also increased the hostility between American and West Indian Negroes. (24) Further, Garvey has built up an organization which has victimized hordes of ignorant and unsuspecting Negroes, the nature of which is clearly stated by Judge Jacob Panken of the New York Municipal Court, before whom Garvey's civil suit for fraud was tried. Judge Panken said: "It seems to me that you have been preying upon the guillibility of your own people, having kept no proper accounts of the money received for investments, being an organization of high finance in which the officers received outrageously high salaries and were permitted to have exorbitant expense accounts for pleasure jaunts throughout the country. I advise those 'dupes' who have contributed to these organizations to go into court and ask for the appointment of a receiver." (25) For the above reasons we advocate that the Attorney-General use his full influence completely to disband and extirpate this vicious movement, and that he vigorously and speedily push the government's case against Marcus Garvey for using the mails to defraud. This should be done in the interest of justice, even as a matter of practical expediency. (20) The government should note that the Garvey followers are for the most part voteless—being either largely unnaturalized or refraining from voting because Garvey teaches that they are citizens of an African republic. He has greatly exaggerated the actual membership of his organization, which is conservatively estimated to be much less than 20,000 in all countries, including the United States and Africa, the West Indies, Central and South America. (The analysis of Garvey's membership has been made by W. A. Domingo, a highly intelligent West Indian from Jamaica, Garvey's home in "The Crusader" magazine, New York City: also by Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois, a well known social statistician, in "The Century Magazine," February, 1923, New York City.) On the other hand, hosts of citizen voters, native born and naturalized, both white and colored, earnestly desire the vigorous prosecution of this case. (27) Again, the notorious Ku Klux Klan, an organization of white racial and religious bigots, has aroused much adverse sentiment—many people demanding its dissolution as the Reconstruction Klan was disoblated. The Garvey organization, known as the U. N. I. A., is just as inflectionable and even more dangerous, as much as it naturally attracts an even lower type of cranks, crooks and racial bigots, among whom suggestibility to violent crime is much greater. (28) Moreover, since in its basic law—the very constitution of the U. N. I. A.—the organization condones and encourages crime, its future meetings should be carefully watched by officers of the law and infractions promptly and severely punished. (29) We desire the Department of Justice to understand that those who draft this document, as well as the tens of thousands who will indorse it in all parts of the country, are by no means impressed by the widely circulated reports which allege certain colored politicians have been trying to use their influence to get the indictment against Garvey quashed. The signers of this appeal represent no particular political, religious or nationalistic faction. They have no personal ends or partisan interests to serve. Nor are they moved by any personal bias against Marcus Garvey. They counsel this tosicin only because they foresee the gathering storm of race prejudice and sense the imminent menace of this insidious movement, which, cancer-like, is guawing at the very vitals of peace and safety—of civic harmony and inter-racial concord.

Considering the Letter Let us consider the above letter as written by these wicked Negroes and sent to the Attorney General of the United States of America and to the white press of the nation. In the first paragraph of the above communication the writers, being Negroes, made use of the following statement, speaking to the Attorney General. They say: "As chief law enforcement officer of the nation, we wish to call your attention to A HERETOFORE UNCONSIDERED MENACE TO HARMONICUS RACE RELATIONSHIP. THERE ARE IN OUR MIDST CERTAIN NEGRO CRIMINALS AND POTENTIAL MURDERERS. BOTH FOREIGN AND AMERICAN-BORN, WHO ARE MOVED AND ACTUATED BY INTENSE HATRED AGAINST THE WHITE RACE. THESE UNDESIRABLES CONINUALLY PROCLAIM THAT ALL WHITE PEOPLES ARE ENEMIES TO THE NEGRO." Good Old Darkies To imagine that any group of Negroes could be so base as to attempt to impress upon not only the Attorney General of the United States of America but the white people at large that members of their own race, although this is untrue, are desirous of murdering members of the white race and of maintaining a hatred against them, knowing well the position of the Negro in America and his relationship to his white brother, is more than any one would expect at this time in the struggle for race uplift. Everyone knows that the statement is false and only manufactured by these wicked and malicious individuals for the purpose of directing the hatred of the Attorney General and the white people of America against the Universal Negro Improvement Association and Marcus Garvey; nevertheless, the statement reveals in these Negro men the lowest possible trait. Like the good old darkey, they believe they have some news to tell and they are telling it for all it is worth—the liars and fabricators that they are, for everyone who knows the Universal Negro Improvement Association and Marcus Garvey, white or black, knows well that there is absolutely no desire on their part to murder anybody, and that as far as criminals are concerned, more are to be found probably among those who signed the letter than could be found in the extensive membership of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. In paragraph 2 they stated that "the President Central of the Universal Negro Improvement Association is Marcus Garvity, an uncontaminatedagogue who has ceaselessly and ardently sought to spread among Negroesdistrict and hatred among all white people." About being unscrupulous and a demagogue, we need pay no attention because the very villains who wrote such a letter are better able to unscrupulousness and demagogy than anyone else, in that they come up with more about it, but when it comes to the point of 'different survey questions' seeking to spread among Negroes distrust and hatred among all white people," it is time for the white and black races to realize the truth about the Universal Negro Improvement Association and its President. At no time has the President of the Universal Negro Improvement Association preached hatred of the white people. That in itself is a violation of the constitution of the organization, which teaches all its members to love and respect the rights of all races, believing that by so doing, others will in turn love and respect our rights. No Ill Feeling Between Races In paragraph 3 they try to make out that The Negro World seduously and continually, seeks to arouse all-feeling between the races, yet in the same breath they further try to make out that there is an alliance between Garvey and the Ku Klux Klan. If these men were in the possession of their senses, and were actuated by truth rather than by a desire to do harm and injury, they would have realized that the Ku Klux Klan is a white organization and stands for white supremacy, so that Garvey would be illogical and foolish if on the one hand he preached all feeling and hatred between the two races and then went back upon all this and allied himself with the Ku Klux Klan. Wicked Maligners These wicked maligners, above the protest of Marcus Garvey and the Universal Negro Improvement Association for over one hundred times, are still endeavoring to make it appear as if there is some understanding between the President of this organization and the Ku Klux Klan. "Bunch" of Selfish Crafters In paragraph 4 these men state that: "An exception held by many is that Negroes try to cloak and hide their criminals, the truth is that the great majority of Negroes are butterly opposed to all criminals and especially to those of their own race because they know that such criminals will cause increased discrimination against themselves. And here we have the high and lofty (?) purposes of these so-called race leaders and race reformers. Other races try to reform and improve their criminals whilst these splendid (?) Negro leaders of ours avow that they are bitterly opposed to them simply because they know that such criminals will cause increased discrimination against them. The selfish dogs that they are! It is not a question of improving the condition of the race, it is a question of how much they will benefit by being members of the race, and if there is a criminal in the Negro race it is preferable that he die rather than that he should even exist to be improved, because in so doing he may cause a discrimination against these selfish individuals. We will prove that these men are just what they state themselves to be in these paragraphs—a "bunch" of selfish grafters who have been living off the blood of the race and who feel that the Universal Negro Improvement Association has come upon the scene to so change and improve conditions as to make it impossible for them to continue to suck the last drop of blood out of our people under the guise of race business men and race leaders. Primitive Negroes In paragraph 5 they further state that "the Universal Negro Improvement Association is composed chiefly of the most primitive and ignorant element of West Indian and American Negroes." Now we come to the crux of the matter. These fellows represent a small group of men led by Du Bois, who believe that the race problem is to be solved by assimilation and that the best program for the Negro is to make himself the best imitation of the white man and approach him as fast as possible with the hope of jumping over the fence into the white race and be completely lost in another one hundred years; therefore they hate everything Negro and they haven't sense enough to hide it. Now, what do they mean by "the most primitive and ignorant element of West Indian and American Negroes"? We will all remember that in the slave days the Negroes of America and the West Indies were taken from Africa, and that they then represented their tribal primitiveness. The emancipation, both in America and the West Indies, has brought us up to the present state, with the majority of our people still bearing the resemblance of this tribal primitiveness, whilst a few have endeavored to make themselves Caucasianized. These men regard it as a crime to be as nature made us, and for us to be as nature made us is to be ignorant; this shows how much love these would be Negroes have for the motherhood of our race. The paragraph stating that "The respectable element identified with the movement are largely professional men without calling," and that "the organization is composed of Negro sharks and ignorant Negro fanatics," again reveal to us the prejudice of these so-called business and professional men are respectable, and that the organization has no white sharks or ignorant fanatics in it. Were it not for the ignorant element of Negroes, these very fellows would have starved long ago, because all of them earn their living either by selling out the race under the guise of leadership or by exploiting the race in business. We only hope that the so-called ignorant Negroes of America will get to know these fellows as they are and let them pay the price through their pocketkooks for insulting so large a number of people who are proud of their race and color Forced Companionship Between Races These nonentities show us in paragraph 5 that they do not believe in or cannot tolerate any organization that is not made up of either respectable white people or white sharks and ignorant fanatics. These are the fellows who foment lynching by always endeavoring to encourage forced companionship between the two races. In paragraph 6 they make Marcus Garvey as being intolerant of free speech, when, in fact, he has always advocated freedom of a universal kind. Again, in that paragraph they state that "The laws of the Universal Negro Improvement Association encourage violence." That is a lie. In many of the succeeding paragraphs they further endeavor to make out that the Garveyites or members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association have on several occasions disturbed the peace of public meetings and individuals organized to speak against Garvey and the movement. The persons cited in the paragraphs who were alleged to be disturbed at the reflective meetings are, with one exception, all members of the gang who have produced the letter now under criticism. They were all organized for the purpose of injuring the Universal Negro Improvement Association and Marcos Garvey. Nevertheless, at no time has the association or Ms. Garvey ever made any effort to check or embarrass them. Their Chest colds-broken! Inflamed membranes, congestion, apparent pain. Apply Sloan's to chest and throat. It scatters congestion -your cold is gone! Sloan's Liniment -kills pain! own unworthiness created in their meetings, no doubt, the displeasure of the people who attended them, and now they try to label the Association and Garvey for it. These bigots believe they have no more right in they will be very much Colored Caste Prejudice It is strange that whenever anything is referred to derogatory to the race the gentlemen use the term "Negro," but whenever they want to impress upon either the Attorney General or the white people the standing of any member of the race they refer to him as "colored," such as paragraph 7 where reference was made to W. Ashble Hawkins as one of the most distinguished colored attorneys in America and to Noah D. Thompson as a distinguished colored citizen of Los Angeles being employed as he is in the editorial department of the white Los Angeles Daily Express. This reveals again the hidden motive or intention of these plotters who are endeavoring to build up in America in their own limited circle of a few a colored social caste as distinct from Negro which they claim to be primitive and ignorant. There is much more in this than will be discussed at the present moment, but a return will be made to the subject in another article in The Negro World of next week in treating on the subject of "W. F. B. Du Bois as a Haier of Dark People." Socialist Judge as Propagandist In paragraph 25 the writers state that Judge Jacob Panken of the New York Municipal Court made certain derogatory remarks against Marcus Garvey and the Universal Negro Improvement Association in a case brought before him. They hadn't the honesty to tell the public and the Attorney-General in their letter that Judge Jacob Panken is a Socialist and that the writers of the letter are nearly all Socialists and that at the time the case was being tried the Socialist group of Negroes in Harlem New York, looked upon it as a splendid opportunity to get back at Marcus Garvey and the Universal Negro Improvement Association, who had been against Socialism to have the Socialist judge take advantage of the situation while hearing a case of Garvey by making use of such remarks as would be used by the Socialist group as propaganda against Marcus Garvey and the Universal Negro Improvement Association Now, they are making use of the statement of Panken, as they had hoped he would use certain remarks for them for propaganda purposes, and they still believe that all Negroes are foolish enough to follow the advice of a Socialist judge against whom, as a Socialist, Marcus Garvey and the Universal Negro Improvement Association stand out. Hundreds of other cases have been heard before other judges of New York, and no one has ever used the remark of Panken, hence everyone knows it was made for propaganda purposes. Negro voters will take keen notice of it. U. N. I. A. Controls Thousands of Votes In paragraph 27 they infer that "the Garvey followers are for the most part voteless." This is another lie, because the Universal Negro Improvement Association can marshal twenty times as many voters of the United States of America as all other Negro organizations put together, and that will be proved in a short while for the good of the race. About the "exaggerated membership" of the organization, any reader of the letter has but to take for granted that some of the things said about the organization in different parts of the country were true, but even if they were only part, true they would not reveal a membership in three or four sections larger than they claim it to be all over the world. No one will ever know accurately the membership of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, because every second Negro you meet, if not an actual member, is one in spirit. A Barber Shop Philosopher In reference to W. A. Domingo as an "intelligent" West Indian Negro of Jamaica who made an analysis of the Gatway membership, all those acquainted with the Universal Negro Improvement Association known that Domingo was a dismissed employee of the association and that he represents no one but himself. He is what commonly is called a "barber shop rat," who talks the kind of philosophy indulged in by frequenters of the tonsorial artist. He also is a Socialist who has a desperate grudge against work and who has the dreamer's vision that one day all the rich people of the world will divide up their wealth with the loafer, thereby bringing into existence the true reign of Socialism Crusader Magazine Out of Business The magazine (Crusader) referred to also will be remembered as the mouthpiece of Cyril Briggs, who collected donations from colored and white people to support the paper some years ago, and who up to nine months ago published that he had received $5,000 for the purpose of starting another weekly paper called the Liberator, and that colored people were to subscribe $5,000 more. It is for me to state that the Crusader has long been out of business and the Liberator has never appeared. What has become of the $5,000 acknowledged and the subscriptions taken for the publication of the Crusader no one knows. W. k. B Du Bots is a colored man who hates the drop of Negro blood in his veins, and he is as much against the Universal Negro Improvement Association from a prejudiced viewpoint as the Devil is against Holy Water. Important Notice All members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association are hereby reminded that their One Dollar Annual Assessment is payable during the month of January. To be financial you MUST pay this Assessment this month. MARCUS GARVEY, President-General January 1, 1923. These bigots believe they own the United States of America. They have no more right in America than other colored men, so that they will be very much disappointed if they believe that the Department of Justice and the Attorney-General would, for the purpose of pleasing eight Negroes, defeat the ends of the Constitution of the United States of America. But who are these Negroes? They themselves have told us what they are in their relationship to business. To take them as they are, one is a business explorer who endeavors to appeal to the patriotism of the race by selling us commodities at a higher rate than are charged in the ordinary and open markets. Another is a race defamer of Chicago who publishes in his newspaper week after week the grossest scandal against the race, showing up the crime and vices of our people. He was the man who published in his newspaper for over one year a full page advertisement showing the pictures of two women, a black woman and a very light woman, with the advice under the photograph of the black woman to "lighten your black skin". The other is a real estate shark who delights, under the guise of race patriotism, to raise the rent of poor colored people even beyond that of white landlords, who are generally more considerate, knowing the economic condition of the colored race. Another is a hair straightener and face bleacher whose loyalty to race is to get the race to be dissatisfied with itself. Still we have another as a turn coat and sackey who has not enough manhood to stand up and defend his own cause in his relationship to others, but who was so mean and low down as to have approached Marcus Garvey for a job about nine months ago, representing to him that he was unfairly dealt with because of his color, and after he was offered a berth he took that as an opportunity of going back to his old employers to get them to raise his salary, which he never would have gotten raised but for the fact that he had secured new employment in a rival organization. Then we have the grafter Socialist who started so many enterprises among colored people, such as the Elevator Men's Union, and has not been able to account for the funds. We have still another who maintained a Blue Vein Society Church in Detroit Much and who was subsequently relieved of his charge because of alleged immorality, and another unserupulous politician whom everyone knows to be a man who has lost the respect of the ordinary members of the community. These are the angels and "respectable" citizens who have written this infamous letter to the Attorney-general of the United States of America against Marcu Garvey and the Universal Negro Improvement Association. It is hoped that these sinners will purge their souls of the crime they have committed against their race, for surely in the accusation of their own consciences they shall surely not see salvation. Let me implore all members, divisions and friends of the Universal Negro Improvement Association to now make every effort to push forth the cause of our great movement. Now is the time for every man and woman to stand loyalty by this organization. Whatsoever might have been the difference of opinions in local divisions or your dissatisfaction, you must stand untidely as millions of members throughout the world. for the enemy within our race is now knocking at the door. It is for us unitedly to stand together and meet the foe. The greatest weapon we can use at this time is stronger organization. Let members come together more than ever everywhere and prove to the whole world that not by misrepresentation, but by fair play and justice shall the great problem of race be settled. It is hoped that the white people of America and of the world will take no cognizance of the vicious lies and misrepresentations of these wicked Negroes. Everybody will realize that the Universal Negro Improvement Association preaches the doctrine of human brotherhood and the love of all mankind. All divisions are requested to send in their support immediately to the parent body and help to push the fight for the triumph of the Universal Negro Improvement Association over its enemies. With very best wishes I have the honor to be With very best wishes I have the honor to be Your obedient servant, MARCUS GARVEY, President-General, Universal Negro Improvement Association New York, Tuesday, February 6, 1923.

With the return to Liberty Hill's tonight of the President General (Hon. Larry Carvey) and the American leader (Hon. William Shaw) Labell took on new enthusiasm, and added impetus was given to the movement in so far as the membership of the New York Local concerned by the glowing reports with these leaders brought back of the intense interest and enthusiasm that is being investigated throughout the country. The work of the association, Mr. Sherill in no oleoquent manner that thrilled and activated the members, treated his observations in the various divisions which he had studied in which he concluded that the universal Negro Improvement Association today is stronger than ever in the history of the organization. The divisions outside of New York are doing things the great divisions such as we have had in Detroit, in Cincinnati in Chicago in Seattle and Oakland, are putting over the program of the Association with the same enthusiasm and with the same determination that the men and women are putting it over in New York. Alluding to the various obstacles which have been thrown in the way of the organization, Mr. Sherill said it was done with a view of weakening the organization, but instead it had simply served to make the organization stronger for those obstacles; it simply served to shake away from this great organization those we had learned through hypocritical, jelly-backed Negroes who were sitting on the floor and did not know whether they fell out, out and left in the organization the strong courageous and determined men and women who are left need to stick by until the program is put to use. The same Negroes are now where the University of Negro Improvement Association could step in to be with Negroes who are with us now because there is something good in the program and programs of the Association that when one is really started on the program and has really caught the vision of it, it is no turning back.

WUPPERMANN 12 East 46th St., New York City A "CLOSE-UP" OF THE VIRGIN ISLANDS A Bird-Eye View of Uncle Sam's Naval Rule in the Caribbean as Seen in the Ex-Governor's Report expression of that statement "I want to tell you," said he, that more than 95 per cent of the membership of this organization in this country are American Negroes. There are some who attempt to say that the best element of Negroes. America are not with the Association. His reply to that was that in traveling across the country, he noticed the fact that both his colleagues had just returned from the League of Nations in each town and city, the best element of No. By CA5PER HOLSTEIN President Virgin Islands Congressional Council Some time ago in a communication to an American newspaper one of the south officials of the Virgin Islands, Washington Williams by name, had the temerity to affirm over his signature that there is no naval government in the Virgin Islands. We are now in possession of "Lightbourn's Annual and Commercial Directory of the Virgin Islands" for 1928, in which we see by comparing the naval station official list, beginning on page 129 with the official list, beginning on page 142, that the naval commandant and the governor are one and the campman and that the same identity exists between the lieutenant commander of the Signal Corps and the chief of the government secretariat, between the captain of the Marine Corps and the head of the legal department, the lieutenant able to the chief of staff and the head of the municipal department of public works, the head of the naval hospital and the director of health for the Islands. Many identities exist in the list, but there are the chief ones and we are only wonderin' now whether the crank gentleman who treated the truth sought would still insist that the Virgin Islands are not under naval rule. The issue of the Annual (which at tempts to do for these little islands what Whitaker a Almanac or the Statesman's Year Book does for the British Empire) affords a more or less view of the government of these islands although deals but sparing with the conditions of the great book of the islanders. Yet it is not possible to hide all the facts. Ex-Governor Kittelle's Report The real meet and substance of the 1933 Annual is the official report of minor governor Kittelle. It is unfortunate that the proprietors and publishers have not seen fit to give us the report of 1922 but have given us instead one which is seriously pounded of portions of 1919, 1920 and 1921. But it is to be presumed that both the composition of the report and its late appearance are defects due to the method of the former governor Evidently, Governor Kittelle was a person not prone to carefulness in his writing. He tells (on page 17 of the Annual) that "of the cultivated area of the island (St Croix) . . . 4482 acres are uncultivable," which brings back the age of miracles. Again on page 31 after saying "Leprosy is not common, he ends the very same sentence by adding "but 72 lions in 25 000 people is a fairly large proportion", which makes it rather hard to learn just what he meant to say. Nor is it easy to understand why it Frederickated all street lights are provided by means of gasoline lamps. There are surb conditions as might be found in the writings of the school children to whom Mr Kittelle was so fond of addressing his admonitions. There are many other queer things in this belated report which seem to stand in need of some explanation, like the attempt to create and set off "a Negro class," which rises to the surface on page 37, and the pure undeterred匀inity of the geographic board in passing down its philological guesses as law in the matter of proper names of well-known places in the Virgin Islands. But let us address ourselves to the meaning of the report. Anyone who reads intelligently the official record of American rule as administered by the Navy Department must be struck at once by the accumulated evidence of a vast disaster that has come upon the islander coincident with the arrival of the THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1923 ATTENTION!!!

MARCUS GARVEY PRESIDENT GENERAL, of the UNIVERSAL NEGRO IM PROVINCE ASSOCIATION who has been most wickedly and sensuously attacked through the Negro's role as a gang of unscrupulous colored men in New York, has decided to address a series of mass meetings in LIBERTY HALL, 120 West 138th Street 10.

Everywhere we hear the melancholy refrain of the recorded from which it tells us that bad as the Danes were painted to be they never sponsored so much misery and unhappiness as the unfortunate representatives in mismanagement of the Navy Department. Let us consider for a moment four important groups of facts, which, always and everywhere, furnish a register of the degree of social mismanagement. On page 34 of this Annual we learn from Bittelle's report that "there has continued to be quite a decided increase in the number of insane coming under observation." We are told elsewhere that the people like largely under what, for want of a better term, we call more primitive conditions. But people living under such conditions don't run to insanity. They only do so when as Victor Hugo says, "Destiny which is of good, is complicated by the mismanagement of man."

TONIGHT! save but they will now be active. Mr. Sherrell at this point took occasion to make a strong condemnation of the policy of the average Negro newspaper in prejudging hundreds of Negroes against this Organization. The average Negro newspaper, periodical or magazine in this country, simply existed, he said, for a little group that moves around them and everything that does not attempt to aggrandize or carry forward some political or selfish scheme of that particular group was fought by them. As a case in point he referred to the silence which the Negro press had manifested with reference to the mission of the Delegation which was sent to the League of Nations by the U. N. I. A. If said he for the first time in history the Negroes have crossed the ocean to sit around a common table with the best statesmen of Europe, if for the first time in history that Negroes had gone representing an Organization of Negroes and dabbled in international policies, if that is not news he wanted the Negro press to tell him what was news. If we had gone to Geneva and had been kicked out, or had failed to accomplish what we were sent to in compilish, or had been treated as something less than men very Negro newspaper would have played to the headline was an implication. said the Association was an organization that emanated from the soul and movements that emanated from the soul. IN ISLANDS aribbean as Seen in the Ex- cruix alone being more than 251, per cent of what do these children die. Largely by underfeeding, food of low quality, lack of efficient care. And the very figures of this report, even when they skilfully skirt the statistics of wages, show that wages have been remorselessly forced down. We learn from independent sources that they have fallen from a dollar to 25 cents a day and even at this starvation wage many planters demand a reduction no work. In the meantime, the simplest foodstuffs cost more in St Groix and St. Thomas than they do in Salem, Mass., or even in New York, and that those for whom Mr. Selbbling wrote have such a strangible economic opportunity that the agricultural laborers are given only two days' work a week in the hope that their spirit and unions may both be broken. These are reasons why the infant death rate for these islands is seven times what it was under the blues. In the meanwhile instead of train to develop the economic resources of this stricken people their money is used for the importation of high-priced fruits, vegetables, teachers and other things from elsewhere, which (Continued on page 10) ATTENTION !!!

DR. DuBOIS' TEN MISTAKES BACK TO MEDIC. by Dr W. E. Burghardt Du Bois in the February issue of the Century Magazine, is one of the most brilliant bits of fiction and prose poetry that ever emanated from the facile pen of that gifted writer. Never did his genius as a short-story teller's shine more resplendently. Prose and poetry, fact and fancy, fiction and history, and imagination and reality were so subtly blended and flowed so easily on the prose cadences of Dr Du Bois' inimitable style that the reader finds it difficult to tell when Dr Du Bois is envisaging reality and when imagining. By getting some scraps of information here and there and by bringing his imagination into play, Dr. Du Bois has created an imaginary Marcus Garvey and an imaginary Universal Negro Improvement Association which is both like and unlike the real person and the real organization. In his essay on Alexander Crumwell, Dr. Du Bois, by his poetic imagination and his magic style, made a real man look like an imaginary portrait. In his "Back to Africa" he made an imaginary portrait and an imaginary organization look like a real man and a real organization. The same poetic description and philosophic musings which characterized "The Souls of Black Folk" and "Darkwater" may be observed in the article that we are now discussing. In his pen pictures of High Harlem at the beginning and ending of his article, in his philosophical reflections upon the Negro whirlpool and other smaller swirlings affecting the stream of American life, upon Garvey's movement representing something spiritual, upon the Negro's craving for manhood and in his showing that Garvey is a "type of dark man whom the white world is making daily—moulding, marring, tossing in the air"—Dr. Du Bois writes in the vein that gave "Souls of Black Folk" and "Darkwa" their deserved fame. Dr. Du Bois an Impresaionist and Not a Realist And yet the reader somehow feels that with all the poetic descriptions, pensive musings and philosophical reflections there is yet something lacking, and that is a gripping hold upon reality. "Back to Africa," like "The Souls of Black Folk," represents more the subjective impression which the Garvey movement made upon the sensitive mind of Dr. Du Bois than an objective presentation of the movement as it really is. Dr Du Bois is more of an impressionistic rather than realistic painter. He gets a general impression and a few general outlines, and then his imagination completes the picture. In the case of Marcus Garvey and the U. N. I. A, Garvey was thirty-three years old and the U. N. I. A. two and a half years old before Dr. Du Bois began to consider them seriously. He heard that a Jamaican harangued the crowds from a soap box in Harlem, organized thirteen in a small room, started a weekly paper and talked about building factories and operating a steamship line, but he paid no attention to what he regarded as a transient ebullition of emotion. Consequently, when in August, 1920, Garvey three times congested the streets of Harlem with a parade, packed Madison Square Garden to the very doors and held an international convention for thirty-one days in a Liberty Hall with twice the seating capacity of any Negro church in the world—filling it in the daytime, overcrowding it at night, and with thousands turned away from the Sunday evening services—the white people began to ask, "What does it all mean?" Quite naturally they would ask Dr. Du Bois, a recognized Negro leader and writer, about it. He knew very little about it. For three months he wandered in the wilderness, picking up scraps of information from former officials and friends of present officials, getting nearly all of his information second hand. The result was the sketchy article in the Crisis in January, 1921. Then Dr Du Bois began seriously to study Marcus Garvey and the movement he had launched. But the U. N. I. A. was too big and too complex and it had too many ramifications all over the world to be easily focussed. The late Prof. Josiah Royce, Harvard's famous metaphysician, once said that it was very difficult to convince a man or change his views by merely arguing with him, for his point of view and his ideas are the resultant of his character, temperament, education, environment and the experiences that he has passed through. That is quite true. It is very difficult to understand the psychic reactions of a man and his dominant motifs when you don't meet him or don't begin to study him until he is thirty-three. To really know him you must know his parents, his early teachers and associates and early environment. To really know him you must know him in his boyhood, his youth and early manhood; you must know the men who inspired him, the forces that fashioned and shaped him, the influences that operated upon him and the pleasant or rough experiences, the boosts or hard knocks that colored his ways of thinking. You can't simply see him as a man and then imagine what his previous experiences had been. So is it with a movement. When Dr. Du Bois first began really to study the U. N. L. A. it was like a mighty river rushing at high speed toward the ocean of destiny, bearing upon its bosom the hopes, strivings and aspirations of a struggling race. He did not know what tributaries fed the stream, what ideas went into the making and what men made their contributions to the movement. Consequently, with only scraps of information at his command, he had to draw considerably upon his imagination. Thus Dr. Du Bois intimates that the "Back to Africa" idea was the only dominant idea in the Garvey movement. But the two ideas—the colonization and empire idea—which formed the "Back to Africa" idea were only two of the eight ideas which went into the formation of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. The other six ideas were forming a confraternity of the black people of the world, protesting against caste prejudice and proscription which ignored the worth of a man and looked solely at his color, teaching black men to respect themselves and each other, building factories, launching a steamship line and developing Liberia industrially and commercially aspects that the white line that brought the A study of the religion indicates that gets its power not that it contains, on fundamental in hum the Negro to think Dr. Du Bois' Ten Mistakes Dr Du Bois' Century Magazine article is so brilliant and perfect a literary work that we hate to dissect it. It is like analyzing the beauty and magnificence of a rose and telling what chemical elements entered into its composition. But as Dr Du Bois is writing history, we must consider his article as history and not as a magnificent bit of prose poetry. These ten mistakes are not mistakes of interpretation, but of historical facts. Mistake No 1 -- Dr Du Bois, on page 539 of the Century Magazine, says of Garvey "Beside him were 'potentates'" Answer. In reality there was only one potentate, Gabriel M. Johnson of Monrovia Mistake No 2 Dr Du Bois, on page 539, says "Before him knelt a succession of several colored gentlemen. Among the luck recipients of titles was the former private secretary of Bouker F. W.ington" Answer. In reality Dr Emmet J. Scott as in Washington DC, and did not attend the convention Mistake No. 3 On page 541 of the Century Magazine Dr Du Bois says, "Then came the new economic demand for Negro peasant labor on the 'baname-Canal." Answer: But Colonel Goethals in his book "How I Bung the Panama Canal," states that many West Indians were employed as engineers and mechanics, and many Italians as laborers. Mistake No. 4 Dr Du Bois, on page 541 of the Century Magazine says that "West Indians began to migrate in larger numbers to America during the World War." Answer: In reality West Indians began to migrate to America in 1895, when the Brussels conference barred and boycotted West Indian and imported sugar and when the German beer sugar began to thrive. See article on Brussels in the Encyclopedia Britannica. It would be advisable for the learned scholar to also read Crabbe's "Guide to the British West Indies." Mistake No. 5 On page 543 of the Century Magazine Dr Du Bois refers to Marcus Garvey as "This black peasant of Jamaica." Answer: Marcus Garvey never worked as a farmer or agricultural laborer. When he quit school at the age of sixteen he worked four years as a printer, four years as a foreman of printing. Since then he has traveled and studied conditions in Louisiana and other parts of the world, edited newspapers and formed organizations. Mistake No. 6 Dr Du Bois says of the Yarmouth the steamship of the Black Star Line, "She made three trips to the West Indies in three years." Answer: In reality he made three trips in nine months. Mistake No. 7 On page 544 of the Century Magazine Dr Du Bois says, "Thus the bubble of Garveyism burst." Answer: There are still over 800 well-organized divisions functioning as they did before the delegates went to the League of Nations from the August convention of 1922. Mistake No. 8. On page 545 of the Century Magazine Dr. Du Bois says, "He did not quite dare call himself King Marcus I, but he sunned himself a while in the address of 'your Majesty'. Answer: If Dr. Du Bois would attend the meetings in Liberty Hall or read 'The Negro World carefully he would learn that Marcus Garvey's official title is 'Your Excellency'." Mistake No. 9. On page 546 of the Century Magazine Dr. Du Bois says of the U. N. I. A., "Its main and moving nucleus has been a knot of black Jamaican peasants resident in America." Answer: If Dr. Du Bois had carefully observed the parades of 1920 he would have seen over a score of bright, resplendent banners with Barbados, Jamaica, Grenada, St. Kitts, Antigua, Cuba, Haiti, Porto Rico, Santo Domingo, Trinidad, Demerara, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Washington, Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, Florida, etc, emblazoned upon them. These banners indicated that the groups of from ten to one hundred who marched behind them were born in the country, is and or State designated on the banners, and that the Universal Negro Improvement Association is recruited, not from the island of Jamaica, but from the black peoples of the world. Two-thirds of the two-score divisions, whose membership runs into the four figures, are located in the United States of America. Mistake No. 10. Dr. Du Bois, on page 548 of the Century Magazine says: "As compared with the homes, the business, the church, Garvey's basement represents nothing in accomplishment and only waste in attempt." Answer: On page 543 of the Century Magazine Dr. Du Bois states that the Yarmouth made "three trips to the West Indies"; that "Garvey sent the Kanawa down to do a small carrying trade between the West Indian islands," and that with the Shadyside "the carried excursionists up and down the Hudson during one summer." On page 544 he states that Garvey "has established a number of local grocery stores in Harlem and one or two shops, including a laundry and a printing press." We will state that the printing press includes a Goss supplement press, a steam table, a stereotyping machine, four linotype machines and smaller presses for job printing. Does the learned doctor regard these as accomplishments? Dr. Du Bois' article is written from the standpoint of a disinterested white man who studied the U. N. I. A. from long range and not from the standpoint of a racial leader who has kept his finger on the pulse-beat of the race that he is supposed to represent. When he characterizes the Black Star Line and the U. N. I. A "only waste in attempt," it indicates that he did not realize how Negrodom, how the black world was thrilled and electrified when it learned that a Jamaican and a New York organization had got out of the traditional ruts of church, lodge, agitation and small business into big business, trade and commerce, that the Negro's industrial and commercial horizon was about to be enlarged, that new avenues of employment were about to be opened up to black men and black women, and that the Negro was about to leave his circling eddies and enter the stream of world commerce. It was the new spirit—the spirit of initiative and adventure—that Marcus Garvey and the U. N. I. A represented—the Divine urge of progress—that was Garvey's contribution to the spiritual inheritance of the race. WILLIAM H. FERRIS. The August convention of 1920, with delegates from nearly every State in the Union, from Cuba, Haitti, Santo Domingo, Porto Rico, the West Indies, Central America, South America, Liberia, Sierra Leone, the Gold Coast and South Africa, assembled to put over an industrial program as well as to perfect a fraternal organization and voice the black man's grievance at the wrongs and injustices to which he was subjected, was something new in Negro history. The distinguished men of color who attended that convention, either as delegates or visitors, the crowds that congested Madison Square Garden the opening night and Liberty Hall for thirty consecutive nights, and the world publicity that that convention received, and the crowds and publicity given to the conventions of 1921 and 1922, indicates that the world recognized that the black man's soul was awakened and that a new dynamic force and impulse was operating in the black man's mind. The world somehow recognized that the spirit of progress, of adventure and achievement on a colossal scale was stirring in his mind. Unfortunately some of the representatives of the U. N. I. A allowed the Conclusion aspects that the white press emphasized to sidetrack them from the main line that brought the immense hosts together. A study of the psychology of religion and a comparative study of religion indicates that any religion which grips large masses of mankind gets its power not on account of its error but on account of the truth that it contains, on account of its powerful appeal to what is basic and fundamental in human nature. So it was with the U. N. I. A. It taught the Negro to think in international terms and gave him a vision of world politics and world commerce. It enlarged his mental horizon and the boundaries of his mind. It liberated his imagination and gave him new ideas. And this, according to Dr. Coue is something worth while. It taught the Negro to think and feel that he was a man and could play a man's part in the affairs of men. For this reason it will live on as an uplifting psychic influence. Five years is a brief moment in the life of an organization or corporation. If Dr Du Bois knows of any Negro corporation that at any time within the brief space of five years marshaled as many members as the U N I V has invested as much money in industrial and commercial enterprises and gave as much employment to men and women of color we would be grateful for the information WILLIAM H. LERRIS WHY LIBERALS SIDE WITH US Many people are surprised and gratified that the Bruce Lowell case at Harvard should have found so many influential white people on our side. We would inform them that these influential people are not fighting for our cause so much as for the greater cause of liberalism. The Negro happens to be merely the occasion the case in point. Even the white Harvard graduates oppose Mr. Lowell mainly because his racial discrimination violates a corrished Harvard tradition and will lower Harvard's position and prestige in American life. These men are looking tarthier ahead than this immense case. They know that in this country anything that is started against the Negro does not end with the Negro. The Ku Klux Klan for instance began with the Negro, and now it is making war on Jews and Catholics and the two men murdered at Mer Rouge were even white Protestants. There is no telling how far such passions will go onto they are let loose. It is so with Harvard. From discrimination in the freshman leads it but a step to shutting Negroes out of the college altogether another step will shut out the Jews. But the spirit of logic will then look for somebody else to exclude perhaps the Irish. With only pure Anglo-Saxons remaining, the next step might be to exclude all of them except the sons of Harvard graduates, and finally the might be weeded out by qualifications of wealth and art to pursue family connections. by no means impossible for such a course that is already covered in the case of such aristocrats preparatory schools as Croton N. Marks St. Paul's, Pomfret, Hackley and others. Thus the university instead of growing like Holmes's chambered nautilus would dwindle and wither to a handful of aristocrats and become nothing but a pink tea social center with no intellectual or moral influence. Instead of turning out Limericks and Summers it would produce Ward McAllister. Harvard graduates and other liberals do not want to see their university rot away like the ancient eim trees on its campus. Just as the gypsy moths, burrowing for years, killed off those magnificent elms so race prejudice, it allowed, will eat away the moral fiber and public influence of the greatest university on this hemisphere, and this country will rot with it. Negro Daily Times CORRESPONDENCE THE FORCES OF LIBERTY A MONUMENT TO THE COLORED MAMMIES OF THE SOUTH A MONUMENT TO THE COLORED MAMMIES OF THE SOUTH Editor Negro World Mr.-Your editorial The Forces of Liberty, appearing in the issue of the 27th instant, is a clean cut statement. Each paragraph holds the attention of the reader and leads the mind to see the situation as it is. It creates at the same time a strong attitude of fear- sness to meet these new developments with scorn for the terrors of hell, laughter for the grave and a preparedness to die in defense of the right to live January 21, 1923 Editor of The Negro World Sir—There appeared in the Evening Post of January 30 news in regard to the erection of a monument to the faithful colored marmiles of the South faired in the Congress of the United States by one Senator Williams, of Mississippi. Maybe a relative to John Sharp Williams. Such a piece of legislation is worthy only of its sponsor. We expect this and more from the type of the Mississippi Senator. It will cause no surprise among the folks of color and intelligence. We know his sinister purpose in so doing, but he and his ilk will find it hard to defame or belittle the Negro in this day in the eyes of the world. If the measure of a man lies not in the texture of his hair or the color of his skin why is it almost better to be dend than black. The purpose of The Negro World is to install in the minds of black men and women everywhere that a skin only a pigment in the skin the texture of the hair and any other black that asterisk are nature's resourcefulness to protect the black man the sentient foundation has been fully established. Black editors and too natives who know better should avoid a comparison son that is alien in origin, a trap for the intelligent and a rebuke to the ignorant. If the Senator from Mississippi thinks that we are not aware of his knave intentions, he is sadly mistaken. Prays let me ask the Senator, in the future kindly use the time of the people in a more valuable way instead of seeking to hurt the Negro, by trying to hold him up to the world as an inferior, unmanly, unequal person among the races and nations of the world. As a good servant only for which he would dedicate a monument There is no desire on the part of the writer to enter into controsy ray. To be black should mean everywhere and anywhere, here is the man or woman who is prepared to stand four square to every wind that blows, determined, hopeful, unafraid, unconquerable in the purpose to live. I appeal to the intelligent and just people of this nation not to permit this fresh unprovoked menace to be the reward of gratitude for the sacrifices and loyalty of the Negro to this people and nation. If Mr. Williams really wanted to show "good" appreciation for the loyalty of the colored mammals, why didn't he do so when the anti-lynching bill brought the opportunity home to him? A bill that sought to relieve the children of the colored mammals from the persecution which Mississippi and the Senator therefrom indulges in Mr. Senator, I consider the passing of the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill the greatest monument to the loyal colored mammals of the South. Whatever may be in the last analysis of a given situation or a crisis, the fact that you are black should be a spur of unyielding steel demonstrating your ability to enter the lists of battle capable of withstanding the assaults of friend and foe, determined to live the life of the heroic dead. Cowards do many times; the brave but once dead is only a transition; the brave join the legions of the immortals; during porta's find still greater strength to live the mortal span and qualify for the ranks of the faithful that live for all time. Sound the clarion call far and near BLACK MEN AND WOMEN WERE CREATED TO LIVE. Whoever would suggest or infer that the spirit of the age places a greater landcap on black men and women and that "it is almost better to be dead than black" is asleep and not truly interpreting the new opportunities that unfold each day. The work of Thomas Dixon, author of the "Clansman" and the infamous "Birth of a Nation," is bad enough without crowning it with this second blot upon American civilization. I cannot see why, in the light of the Senator's knowledge of all the perplexing things here and abroad, the honorable gentleman would add to our already intense vexing problems. Has he no regard for the present government, or lack of patriotism to the nation? Knowing, I am sure, in spite of all, the Negro will emerge to the position that will compel the respect of the nation. It is too late now to bellittle him, for already he has forced national and international consideration. At a people we have made too many plans for death. Right about face. On on, upward and onward to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. If 'any reason death seems to be welcome good; but under no consideration think death a solution for the many problems that engage the attention of black men and women anywhere. Think it over. Thanking you for space. HUBERT J COX. New York City, January 29. 1923 [Editor's Note—The literary editor agrees with Mr. Cox's position ] ARDEN A. BRYAN. 29 West 98th street. New York city U. N. L. A. Going Into Politics to Fight N. A. A. C. P. H. William S. I spoke as if After having had the privilege of setting the stage directions of the movie, am going the larger and having seen and witnessed demonstrations in the art of the way and the program I love so much Immovement ation I love so that I am found tonight to find myself on again under the roof of Liberty Hall Ham a time in time grateful to having an liberty Hall and Harlem as beacon to a wonderful people starle as a heart and a taste of a farm Liberty Hall a Birthplace of African I was at an article last supposed the race leaders the called Liberty Haze a little squat the basement of it and he loved to rage out and org after supposed the race leaders a loved to long after their bodies were in the grave when begin will have come out their own as a as and lives and men die coming generations will take their pen and and name and crown with glory in glorious spot where African redemption was born Enthusiasm At Its Highest Throughout Country I bring in greeting tonight for those great divisions. I wish it were possible for the membership of Liberty Hall to have the opportunity of visiting the divisions of the country in order that you might see and understand the determination and enthusiasm that you will find outside of New York. I want to tell you that the divisions outside of New York are doing things. I do not mean to say you are not doing things, but some of you get the impression that you are the only ones doing things. The Divisions such as we have in Detroit the great division in Cincinnati the great divisions in Chicago and Seattle and Oakland—these divisions are putting over the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association with the same people with the same enthusiasm, and with the same determination that the men and women are putting over here in New York. U. N. I. A. Stronger Today Than Ever The Universal Negro Improvement Association today is stronger than ever in the history of this great organization. Some of you may be inclined to think because you do not see as many on the band wagon—because you do not hear as much whoooping and hurrahng, that the Universal Negro Improvement Association is using its strength that I want to assure you that I do. The obsession with me in contact with—those that I have simply lost is making the great organization go on like when Mr. Carver was in some time asleep and to urge the members of the ambulance Division I expressed my sentiment immediately and I was the one that is good for the organization because they could not understand how Carver's arrest could be good for organization, but I told them it was good for the cause because that tomorrow the Universal Negro Improvement Association will be strung on account of his arrest than today. It is the same way with various obstacles that have been known in the way of the Association program. The county has done a view of weakness in the organization but it has simply served to make the organization at longer for those obstacles, they simply serve to move away from this great organization those weak knots of spiritless type of jealousy abc located Negroes who were on the fence and did not know whether to in or out of organization and determined men and women who are determined to so push until the program is put over (Applause). The Negroes sticking by the organization now are the Negroes who were doing the work whil's the hurrhing was going on. The same Negroes upon whom the Universal Negro Improvement Association could depend upon are the same Negroes who are with it now, because there is something about the program and propaganda of the Association that who one has really, been started on the program and has really caught vision of it, there is no turning back (Applause) Membership 95 Per Cent. American Negroes I want to tell you another thing that I have discovered. There are some who are inclined to take upon themselves the authority to write and tell the American people that the American Negro is not with the program U. N. I. A. GOING INTO POLITICS TO FIGHT THE N. A. A. C. P. (Continued from page 4) of the U. N. I. A I want to tell you that more than 25 per cent. of the membership of this great organization in this country are American Negroes (Applause). Not only that there are some that attempt to tell you that the best element of Negroes in America are not with it. I am here to tell you again, in traveling across the country, by virtue of the fact that we have just returned from the League of Nations—in each town and city the best element of Negroes came out because they wanted to know what those Negroes did at Geneva, and after our meetings those Negroes who are leading lights in their respective towns would come to the platform and take the hands of the delegates and express their appreciation and work openly confess that they had never fully understood the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, for it has been interpreted to them through various papers the subscribed to and now they had a better understanding. Before they were passive but they now be active A Wrap at the Negro Press. I am on the front of the Negro Press. I always want to see the Negro Press long instead of having the race needs the Negro Press out of the Negro paper to see the race the Negro MOTHER!

BY ORDER UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION MARCUS GARVEY, President-General paper in the future has got to change its policy, for the average Negro newspaper has served to prejudice hundreds of Negroes against this organization—I mean those Negroes who are prone to take what they see in the newspaper and swallow it down. The average Negro newspaper—the average Negro magazine in this country—the average Negro periodical in this country simply exists for a little group that moves around them and everything that does not attempt to aggrandize or carry forward some political or political scheme of that particular group, that newspaper lights. I give you a concrete example of what I mean. We have travelled from New York to Seattle, down as far as Los Angeles and around New Orleans through the South and back. In almost every town we were interviewed by white reporters and in almost every town the white papers had notices in their paper of the arrival of the delegation in that particular town and in some instances they made comments. In nearly all the Negro towns there have been some Negro newspapers there and only about three times since we left New York were we interviewed by those Negro newspapers and only once was there an account of our meeting in one of those papers. In Chicago a supposed-to-be leading newspaper refused to put even an announcement in the paper that the division asked them to put in concerning the delegation unless the division said so much money. You can get anything in the Negro newspapers if you pay for it regardless of their价 The reason they gave for not in telling anything about the delegation was that it was an advertisement to us and our organization. If the fact that for the first time in Negro history Negroes have dabbled in international politics—if for the first time in history Negroes have crossed the ocean to sit around a common table with the ablest statesmen of Europe—if for the first time in history that Negroes have gone representing an organization of Negroes and dabbled in international politics—if that is not news I want the Negro paper to tell me what is news. (Applause.) If we had gone to Geneva and had been kicked out, if we had gone to Geneva and failed to accomplish what we were sent to accom- such, if we had gone to Geneva and had been treated as something less than men, every Negro newspaper would have placed it on the headline. The time has come for Negro newspapers to print the news and let the people pass their opinion before theyensorit in their office. Newspapers exist for the community; when they fail to exist for the community then they fall to exist for the best good and progress of those who support them. A Warped idea of the U. N. I. A. I wish to say this: that the Negro in this country who has been accustomed to taking what he sees in the newspaper and swallow it down has got in some case a warped idea of what the great Universal Negro Improvement Association is. I know the Negro in America and I know the yearnings and passions of his soul and there is no black man in America when he rightly understands the program of the Universal Improvement A association whose heart is on the right side that can mainly turn it down. The Universal Negro Improvement Association is a great organization that emanates from the soul and impressions that emanate from the soul are not movements that are easily destroyed for the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association satisfies a mightily longing and passion and yearning of a race and that movement will not be destroyed until that race is destroyed or loses its identity I am proud to see such manifestation of interest and enthusiasm on the This scientist's great success is in his method of combining a new discovery together with normal activity, causing alliants to disappear and youthful vigor, health and normal activity, causing alliants to younger or old, not strong or in good health may now be restored by this wonderful alliant.

I am proud to see the same faithful men and women who have sworn allegiance to this organization still standing by their guns. I want to say to you that the Universal Negro Improvement Association has never seen a brighter day, has never seen more hopeful signs. The Association is more determined to carry forward the propaganda of this great organization than ever in the history of this organization and we ask you to simply stick to the Association and those who are carrying forward this propaganda until we have realized our objective (Loud and prolonged appause). enemies mistook the period of test for a setting back of the program of the organization, not knowing that it is the way of all sensible, intelligent leadership to bring about that test before the great day dawns. And now the enemies thought they had the whole war, of it, the enemies thought they had the right of way. Will Wage an Unprecedented Campaign. It is for me to announce in Liberty Hall tonight that from tomorrow night for six months continuously throughout the length and breadth of America the Universal Negro Improvement Association will wage a campaign never seen and experienced by men before bring emancipation throughout the world. Johnson, Pickens, Rand and the gang that themselves all over invited this civil m and the Universal Negro Association shall take and carry on the fight. They have done their the Universal Negro In association was weaken realize that there is within the ranks of the and when it comes to will find that instead five millions there will million organized Negro Hon. Marcus Garvey's Speech Hon. Marcus Garvey said. In appreciation of the work he rendered by the delegates to the League of Nations I must officially announce from Liberty Hall—even though I merited little in the Negro World of last week—that the French mandator government has abolished slavery in West Africa and in Togoland following the British who abolished slavery in German East Africa just a few weeks ago—all through the influence and representation of the representatives of the Universal Negro Improvement Association at the League of Nations at Geneva, Switzerland. (Applause) You and the rest of the race and all the world will hardly ever be able to appreciate the wonderful influence wielded by this Association at this time in Europe, and the great changes that are being brought about by the pressure of this organization upon international statesmen. In the days to come you will be better able to appreciate the service that you yourselves through being members of this organization have rendered to your race and the service that you have contributed to modern civilization An Answer to the Attacks on the U. N. I. A. I desire to speak to you tonight from the spirit of devotion and loyalty to the cause that you have sponsored. For quite a while the Universal Negro Improvement Association has been attacked from all sides and angles. The Executive leadership of the Association remained practically quiet during that period of attack for the purpose of testing the strength of the membership and the seriousness of the people who make up this organization. No general can go to battle without being able to rely on his soldiers. Negroes have been so wavering for the last hundred years that anyone who does not desire to spoil his career and his reputation has first all to be sure of the ground before he leaps out too deep into the ocean, at least out on the sea of sentiment or a wave of war enthusiasm, the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association swept the Negro off his feet, and he threw his hat up into the air, but it was all war excitement and those who know the Negro before the war calculated that there was no seriousness behind the enthusiasm and that there would be only a few who would stick by the enthusiasm and push it forward for what it was worth. Such a period of test came after the war excitement and we have passed through it and no more severely than in 1922—testing that backbone, testing that spirit and character that is to make the African program a reality by men and women sticking by it even to the extreme everywhere where they profess the doctrine or faith of this organization. Such a test we have had and some of our enemies mistook the period of test for weakness on our part. Some of our READ THIS No matter how long you have been sick or how much you have suffered, you must not give up hope. Mr. John Wick, of Monomone Falls, Wisconsin, did not and is a well man today. In September, 1918, he wrote: "I have been a user of Pe-ru-na for nearly twenty years. I had catarh of the stomach for ten years. Nothing did me any good. I grew worse until a friend advised me to try Pe-ru-na. While using the first bottle, I felt I had found the right medicine. I am entirely cured. My weight was down to 135 pounds and now I weigh 195 pounds. I have used very little medicine for the last ten years." The condition known as catarrhal is not confined to the nose and throat. It may be found wherever there are mucous membranes and is responsible for a multitude of troubles. Coughs and colds are catarrhal as well as stomach and bowel disorders. Do as John Wick did. Keep Peru-na in the house. It stimulates digestion, aids in throwing off the poisonous secretions, enriches the blood, increases the resistance to disease and promotes good health generally. Insist upon having genuine Peru-na in either tablet or liquid form. Your dealer has it. bring emancipation to this race throughout the world. Dubois, Walden Johnson, Pickens, Randolph and Owen and the gang that have scattered themselves all over the country have invited this civil misunderstanding and the Universal Negro Improvement Association shall take up the gauntlet and carry on the fight to the bitter end. They have done their worst, thinking the Universal Negro Improvement Association was weakening, they will realize that there is no weakening within the ranks of this organization and when it comes to the test they will find that instead of our being five millions there will be at least ten million organized Negroes around this Western world. We are going to give the race and fight of their lives (Applause). Dubois made out that this movement was sponsored by West Indian Negroes, but I challenge Dubois to go into any American city from Maine to California and I will charge an admission fee of $1 50 and for every hundred people I have to hear me, he would not have ten. Dubois knows that because he has spoken in some of the cities I have spoken and where he had 50 people, Garvey went there and spoke to 3,000 and 4,000 and 6,000 people at a dollar a seat and 50 cents a seat.

How often have we admired and envied the men and women who glided easily through life admired by everyone on account of their handsome hair and neat appearance. Perhaps some such attractive handsome person has stolen the affections of your girl or your man while you stood helpless to prevent. Or perhaps the good looks and snappy appearance of some fellow without half your brains enabled him to get the job which should have been yours. Did you ever stop to think that people are not born with beautiful hair? Good looking hair is simply the result of a little care. If you want to succeed in modern life YOU MUST LOOK your beat. Don't hide your light under a bushel. For many years expert scientists have been experimenting for a preparation which will make the hair soft, long, and wavy, which will not turn the hair red no matter how often it is used and which will do the work in a few minutes without the use of hot combs, fuss or bother. The result of all this experimentation is ZURA KINKOUT.

Well, the Universal Negro Improvement Association is going into politics, if for nothing more than to clean up the National Association for the Advancement of Certain People. So from tonight the U. N. I. A. is in politics and we are going to make our politics so felt throughout this nation that not only Dubois but all his gang will have to change their minds before 1924 arrives. It has always been the policy of the Universal Negro Improvement Association not to antagonise any Negro individual because our desire is to unite the race, but it is forced upon us now to clean house to save this race of ours. It is now a division of opinion, it is now two different classes fighting for the preservation of the Negro on the one hand and the extermination of the Negro on the other hand.

WHICH IS NOW PLAYING AT THE LAFAYETTE ```markdown ``` --- This play is based on the fallacy of love and the moral influence of religion. Beginning in the late afternoon of a summer day, it begins to build its plot, on the fact that a young bride of two years takes the easiest way out of household and financial worries by selling small lime to her husband. Her change accounts in the stores are becoming long overdue, the collection agent for the furniture has begun to bother her, her husband has cut down on her allowance because of business revenues, and to avoid these responsibilities, she builds about her a monument of small lime which gradually piles up until she finds herself engulfed in a sea of lies. The husband begins to lose confidence in her, and with the loss of confidence comes suspicion and jealousy. The gossip neighbors push the palm along until marriage relations between husband and wife become desperately strained. A man friend calls and the husband, in the suspicious frame of mind, directs his attention in a jealous manner toward his wife and his week-end guest. This develops a most dramatic moment in the lives of all three. While the situation in absolutely innocent, the lies of the wife have brought about her a web of doubt that threatens to break up the home. It is then that the stranger arrives with his book of age old wisdom and his God never that "love dies" and his God never that "love that partakes of the cup, shall endure it." "Smiles bring good fortune." In fact, his influence creates the turning point in the play. The neighbor woman ceases her gossip. The home brew hound decides to abandon his quest for a new recipe, the grafting station agent returns the money he has taken, the mad friend recognizes the influence of truth, the husband becomes alive to the fact that "jealousy is the grave of attention." "It withers the flowers of love to decay." the wife realizes that time do not help any, and after too much sphere is cleared of all heresy) and unhappyness, the stranger quietly makes his exit with the observation that "marriage is the ultimate—the perfect uniting of two ideas of God in perfect harmony—the corner stone upon which lives are built, based upon unselfishness and sacrifice." And thus, at the end of the play we find a happy home and two happy humans awaiting an important event—in fact, the futures of wings around the chimney preclude that shortly the stork may drop a wise feather ball into the midst of the home. The play is clean, moral, hardened a great lesson for married those who contemplate marriage and to the adolescents who will some day think of marriage. Isn't that a beautiful story? The stage play "Why Wives Go Wrong." which can be seen at the Lafayette Theatre all this week, is presented by the best cast of players we have had in this city in years.

PROGRESSIVE ACTIVITY TO CHARACTERIZE OAKLAND DIV "Every day in every way we will grow better and better." is the attitude assumed by all members of the Oakland division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association for the accomplishment of better work in the new year. After the reading of the President General's message at last Sunday's mass meeting, all hearts were inspired to go steadfastly forward with courage undaunted for greater achievements and progress. The lady president, Mra. Lois Pittman, requested each member to be responsible for some individual act that contributed to the welfare of the division in this new year. Vice-President T. E. Smith offered some very practical and timely resolutions that would improve our future advancement. Rev. C. N. Ellott, pastor of Park's Chapel, A. M. E. Church, delivered a few remarks that added immeasurably to the beneficial advice previously given, proving conclusively his sincerity and interest in our organisation. The introduction of professional and business persons present by James Moore concluded a very interesting and instructive program. A. E. GRAY, Chairman of Publicity, Local 188, Oakland, Cal. THE NEGRO WORLD. SATURDAY. FEBRUARY 10, 1923 U. N. I. A. Going Into Politics to Fight N. A. A. C. P. (Continued from page 6) solve the race problem on the pride of the race itself We are appealing to the membership of New York and to the membership throughout this country to stand fast for at least six months and you will see whether the Universal Negro Improvement Association has triumphed or not. I want to announce that from tomorrow night there will be a revival in Liberty Hall, and this revival will continue for at least two or three weeks every night. We want each and every one to come out and bring in a stranger with you so that we can go out for this program and let people know what must be done if we are to save this nation. The problem is to be truly solved. I have to thank you for coming to Association up where it is. It is unfortunate that we should have been encumbered and compassed with all those with us, but now that they have transferred the fight from those who have been in uniform comes back to ourselves, then it is for us to make a cleaning up until we have brought back the union of spirit that is necessary to put over the program we have engaged in (Applause) is it Best for the U. 8. to Take Over the West Indian islands or for Them to Remain in the Hands of the Mr R. I. Poston who was assigned to lead the discussion on the above subject said that in order to discuss the subject one must know something about the life in the West Indies. During the last two years he had made somewhat of a study of the West Indies and he found that conditions are very much changed from what they were twelve years ago. At that time there was a bitter feeling between the West Indian and the American; the West Indians in order to protect themselves against a certain prejudice and narrowness of Americans would exaggerate the conditions at home. They would give the American the impression that they came from a country where everything is all right; some of them went so far as to say that the West Indians were never slaves when the truth was they were slaves before the slaves were brought here, because it was because of the success the Spanish had in raising tobacco with the slaves in the West Indies that led to the experiment in the State of Virginia. The real facts of the situation were not given until the Hon. Marcus Garvey came upon the scene and he came having nothing to conceal. He came as a citizen of Africa and unearthed that which we wanted to know long ago and that it is absolutely necessary for us to know that American and West Indian Negroes must cooperate in the putting over of these larger programs. Continuing, Mr. Poston confessed he was not sufficiently informed to speak as he would like about conditions in the West Indies, but he certainly knew America and therefore when he discussed this subject he was influenced a good deal by his knowledge of the United States of America. He usted it understood that the question is a very vital one because it was very probable that America would eventually take over the West Indian Islands and that, moreover, a resolution had been introduced in Congress to that effect. Would Benefit Educationally. Educationally, he thought, the islands would be helped if the United States took them over for the reason that the common schools such as we know them in America are developed to a certain extent that they are not developed in other places. It was true that there is an extraordinary kind of training that was gotten in the islands, but it was paid for in a way different from the way it was paid for in this country. He believed that the American common school system and the High School and College system is an improvement over anything of the same kind in the islands, consequently he felt that there would be some benefit educationally. It was unfortunately true, however, that there was something which the American education takes out of the man. The American education is given with a view perpetuating the white ideal and everybody who fits into that system must serve that system and the more highly the Negro is educated in America the bigger servant he becomes. You find him sometimes arguing against his own best interests with all the severity of an enemy. That would be found in Dubois and James Weldon Johnson and the higher they go the bigger enemies in a measure they become to the races interests. That was one thing in the American scheme of education that must be avoided, but when it comes to science and art and man-pulating the technical machinery and that sort of thing the American system of education excelled, and he thought the islands would be helped in a large measure by adopting some parts of it. Politically, Mr. Poston thought American possession would help the islands. As he understood it, each island of the West Indies was almost separate and distinct and there was very little unity in the islands. The fellow from Brabados did not like the fellow from Jamaica and the one from St. Kitts was not a good friend of the one from Martinique and those from Grenada took a different view from those of other places. This disagreement brought about a division which enabled the few whites to keep the Negroes under their control. Great efforts have been made by the Universal Negro Improvement Association to break down that spirit, but Weekly Sermon By G. EMONEI CARTER Subject Accepting God's Plan for Our Lives. Text That he might bring us to God"--I Pet. 111 14 With young folks the submission to anything is not a very popular idea. The popular trend of thinking and acting is toward an emphatically asserted independence. We find large numbers of young people insisting, "I must live my own life." There is a movement of revolt from old authority. Indeed, in many cases it is a movement of revolt from anything old merely because it is old without stopping to inquire how good or useful it may be. We find this feeling expressed in the home, where many young folks have a childish petulance at all restrictions. Such young persons do not welcome any suggestions about the conduct of their social life and amusements. They regard such interference as an infringement in their rights. It has become quite a fad among the younger people to affect a freedom from conventionality. The only divine right in which some are interested is the divine right to be amused. Consequently the question of submission to another's will, even though it be the will of God, is an idea which is not welcome! There are, of course, a large majority of young people who do not share in this current attitude, but it is no popular and in a sense expressive of the spirit of the times that this lesson on 'what God's will for our lives' means and how and why we should submit to it is very timely; It is important for everyone of us, young or old, to learn that it is not by stubborn, selfish willfulness that the finest development and power of the future. The ideal of making the chief thing in life the doing of just what we wish, regardless of any other consideration, is a childish, immature ideal. The person who persists in it is still in the primary grade as far as any real understanding of the meaning of life, is concerned. Selfish assertiveness of our own de- yet it existed and he alumed it upon the political system of those countries that have the island under control. Should America get possession of the islands there certainly will be unity. Negro will be drawn together and there will be a real consciousness which does not now exist in the West Indian Islands. Should America get those Islands, because of her system of prejudice, because of her system of segregation and Jim Crowism and keeping the Negro in place, the inhabitants of those islands will be drawn together for their own self-protection and the man in Harbados would feel that the man in Jamaica is his friend because of common suffering. The Industrial and Social Benefits Industrial, Mr. Boston said, American occupation would help, provided America would go there with a spirit of unselfishness, yet he was afraid to say she would help because she has not done so in the Virgin Islands. High hopes were held out when America took over the Virgin Islands and paid something like $250,000,000 for them, but they were paying there cents a day to work and the conditions are so bad that President Harding is complying sending over a commission to investigate conditions. He thought if America would enter the West Indies to the same spirit she has entered the Philippines, the West Indies would benefit industrially. Socially, Mr. Poston said, he did not know the status of the Negro in the West Indies, but if the information given to him here was true, they had a system over there equally as bad as in America. He could not conceive of a colored man wanting to lord it over another because of the higher development of the pigment of his skin or the lower development as the case may be. That was the result of the teachings of the white man which made the colored people believe that his social status was higher in proportion to his lightness of his color. To sum up, Mr. Poston said he would have to study the question a little longer before he could say the Islands would benefit from American possession, because the benefits were almost counterbalanced by some of the disadvantages that would accrue to the Islands. For every good turn that would come there seemed to be a corresponding bad. He was certain about this one thing he believed that after all our deatiny is wrapped up in ourselves. We must not be concerned with the white man's rule of us, but we must be concerned about the time when we shall rule ourselves and we will not be discussing whether England will come in or whether America will come in, but how far we can send them all out. Hon. Vernal J. Williams talking the negative side said the question was at its best a mere academic one. It could be discussed only in its theoretical sense and there are no means of discussing a question of this nature unless you had before you a method of comparison. There was no better way of judging the present or the future of any condition but by the condition of the past. We have had a past and present of English rule down in the West Indies but we cannot say we have had a past of American rule, and we have only a small sample of the present down in the Virgin Islands. In the very first place it must be lures puts us in bondage to whim. A child who has never been controlled is not only a nuisance to all the neighbors and acquaintances, but is also an unhappy person as he grows up. If he has not learned to subordinate his personal preferences to the good of others he will meet many disasters. Such an insistence on our selfish desire keeps our lives trivial, for we can never be carried out of ourselves by an unselfish passion for a large purpose. What Do We Mean by the Will of God? The will of God means many things, and the phrase is loosely used. We are in the habit of calling things the will of God when we have no business to call them by that name. For instance, a man may drink himself to death, and then at the funeral services his premature death may be referred to as the "mysterious will of God." This really is slandering God, when the result of the man's death is his own disobedience. In general we mean by submission to God's will the acceptance of Jesus' purpose as revealed in His life and character as the rule of our lives. We mean the acceptance of His ideal of personal character as expressed in the attitudes for instance. The phrase legitimately means also something different from that. It means being reconciled to our individual limitations and experiences. Everyone has in his life certain handicaps, certain misfortunes, certain limitations which are hard to bear. Submission to the will of God does not mean that we cease to serve to improve conditions. It does mean though, that we shall not pass our lives in angry rebellion against things that we cannot change, but rather accept them in a courteous and cheerful spirit as things that are given to us by our Heavenly Father, and make the best of them. Choosing a Life Work The will of God means definite things in one's life. First it bears on the question of one's vacation or occupation "What shall I do?" is an engrassing question with every young person. Have you ever frankly looked at the question of choosing an occu- admitted he said, that at the very best hot the American and the English rule are bad as far as we are concerned. The American rule is bad because the white American has not yet reached that the civilization where he can respect the human beings (Applause). The English system was bad because the false pride, the false haughtiness of the Englishman does not permit him to appreciate the value of other men, and so in choosing between American and English men we choose between the dead and the dead men (Applause). How American Rule Would Benefit. He believed that if America went down to the West Indies, they would have better means of communication down there, common values of the island would be increased; education would be increased; living conditions higher conditions would perhaps be better if America went down there. He believes that if America went down there social conditions would be better. By that he meant that America would carry that calamity of race oppression, and as Elmund Burke and Publiculamity is a mighty leader. He believes that if America went down there with her present racial ideas it would tend to level off things down there a little bit and bring about a sort of unity, more coherence of thought and appreciation one for the other of the whites and the blacks. These are the only two advantages that he could see from which the West Indies will benefit by American possession. He took exception to the statement that the West Indians have no race consciousness. He (Mr William) thought that the West Indians had a great abundance of race consciousness, and if it were not for the race consciousness of West Indian Negroes. Harlem would not be what it is today. He did not believe that West Indian Negroes got this race consciousness after they came to America; they brought it here with them. He would admit that down in the West Indies things are not as liberal perhaps as they are in America, they had not those constitutional privileges that are traditional assets of the people who live in America, therefore race consciousness in the West Indies has not had the chance to manifest itself as it is manifested in America. The West Indians have brought race consciousness to America and have not only brought it here but coupled it with the new opportunities that America offers. They have made the existence of the Negro in America better than it was heretofore. In the West Indies the Negroes have a race consciousness, but if America went down there that race consciousness would take on added form. It meant this; that unless America adopted the diplomatic methods of the Englishmen in handling West Indians down there the race consciousness of the West Indian would not take on the manifestation of grocery stores and delicatessen and department stores and theatres, it may take on a different sort of expression that might not be comfortable for the new cameras. In comparing the supposed benefit of America with what the West Indians have now, he felt that the West Indians down there are living like men Down there the black coachman steps in his carriage and drives off his black master who feels that he is standing on equality with the world; when the (Continued on page 8) A Real Drama That Every Man, Woman and Child in Harlem Should See.

You can consider the salary you may get in this occupation or that, you consider the choice of advancement, you consider the difficulties. Why not consider whether God does not have a plan for your life? That may seem presumptuous and yet if the Scriptures that we have been studying are true, they imply that each one has a place in God's mind as His child. Who can think of an earthly father not being interested in what his child is to do with his life when the time for choosing a life occupation comes? We must believe that God has the same interest. When we consider what we are to do for our life's work it is unreasonable to expect a voice to speak out of the skies, selling us directly what to do God speaks to us rather through the abilities that we have, through our opportunities, through the needs that come before us, through our conscience, and all of these should be listened to in an effort to determine what He would have us do. those things constitute a challenge to your manhood or womanhood, to be accepted as part of God's will for you.

End Flatulence, Gas, Heartburn, Indigestion His will should determine our habitual attitude to others. The selfish attitude is 'What can I get, out of them?' The Christian attitude is 'What do they need?' In no place should we ask that question otterer than in home. Making the Best of All Things We should accept God a plan for our lives in our peculiar personal circumstances. This problem comes, for instance, to one who is handicapped or an invalid. Here is a boy who is ill. He cannot do many things that other people do. He will be restricted in his choice of occupation. What effect is that affection going to have upon him? Sometimes it has the effect of making him envious and complaining. But more frequently there is a courageous acceptance of the burden to be born. He says within himself, 'This is not going to spoil my life or spoil anyone else's life. I am not going to be a 'killjoy' with my complaint. I will get the most out of life.' It often happens that a peculiar burden or handicap accepted in this spirit of resignation and courage is a means of developing a strong and influential character.

Thousands of people suffer more or less constantly from furred, coated tongue, but breath, sour burning stomach, frequent vomiting, rumbling in stomach, bitter eruptions, gas, wind and stomach acidity and call it indigestion when in reality their trouble is due to excess of the stomach acid. Written a New York physician, Latrubb of the stomach is dangerous because the mucous membrane lining of the stomach is thickened and a coating of plegmen covers the surface so that the digestive fluids cannot mix with the food and digest them. This condition gives breed deadly disease in the fermented, unexamined food.

For quite a while enemies of Marcus Garvey and the Universal Negro Improvement Association have been working for the purpose of turning public sentiment against Mr. Garvey. Different Negro associations have been canvassing the people, asking them to testify against Mr Garvey. They have organized opposition meetings in different centers under the caption, "Garvey Must Go." All this is being done to defeat the hopes of our race through the only real Negro movement started in the interest of the race. The fight for African freedom is eternal and you must support it now by supporting the greatest leader of the race. Bend in your subscription to this fund immediately.

Sace, Baja, Numero 55 Santiago_de Cuba por La Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra Conciudadanos: Es indudable que ustedes habrán experimentado y estarán enterado de las inconveniencias sufridas por los jornaleros, especialmente los pertenecientes a la raza de color (negros), cuando víajan entre Santiago de Cuba, puerto principal de esta región oriental, Nipe Bay y las Antillas Menores, todo por falta de una hourada y buena representación. Otro Nuevo Triunfo de Nuestra Organización Por Medio del Esfuerzo de la Delegación a la Liga de Naciones—Francia Declara Abolida la Esclavitud en el Togoland y en el Africa Occidental—Energica Lucha Por la Consolidación de Nuestra Raza y Su Absoluta Emancipación Muchos abusos se han cometido con nuestras gentes, aún por nuestros mismos hermanos, y todas estas irregularidades se pueden remediar eficazmente por medio de una fuerza de representantes respetables de nuestra misma raza. Ha llegado hasta nosotros una información cablegráfica la cual confirma que el gobierno imperialista de Francia ha demostrado un razgo de democracia, aboliendo la esclavitud en el Africa occidental y en el territorio del Togoland Esta noticia no llega hasta nosotros como una sorpresa sino como una prueba de satisfacción, por haber enviado nuestros embajadores a la Liga de Naciones, para presentar ante aquel augusto cuerpo las demandas de un Africa mas libre e independiente Vosotros estás viendo que cada vez escasea mas el trabajo y el valor de ello casi se ha aniquilado, y por estas razones hemos deducido que una COOPERACIÓN sera la mejor ayuda que encontrarseis en estos tristes momentos encaminada hacia nuestra recuperación. Asi es que, nosotros los que abajo autorizamos esta proclama con nuestras firmas, creemos como de una necesidad imperiosa organizar acto continuo y sin hacernos esperar la COMPANIA DE INDUSTRIA que de acuerdo con la escritura de su constitución ha tomado el nombre de INDUSTRIA AFROCUBANA, con el solo proposto de aliviar estas amenazas, y en su principio ha quedado establecido un Hotel en la calle José A. Saco baja, num. 55, que sera acompañado de otras industrias entre las cuales encontrarán mucho trabajo nuestros asociados Poco$os$ meses ha el gobierno británico abolió la esclavitud en sus colonias del oriente de Africa y hoy vemos a Francia siguiendo el ejemplo en sus colonias del Africa occidental. Los enemigos de la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra convendrán que mas que las promesas de las otras razas por centenares de años, fue necesario algo mas para obtener los resultados del presente. A no haber sido por el hecho de que nuestra raza estuvo representada en la Liga de Naciones por embajadores de nuestra organización, no se hubieran realizado aun cambios económicos y políticos en el oriente y occidente del continente africano. Estas industrias estarán compuestas de salones de mantecidos, cultivo de legumbres, trenes de lavados, etc Nos causa gran satisfacción el hecho de que la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra ha contrado a los cambios realizados en pro de la emancipación de Afrika ha de ser solamente aun cuestion de tiempo cuando no simplemente los nativos de aquel continente sean libertados, sino que los cuatrocientos millones de miembros de nuestra raza serán emancipados a un estado más elevado de libertad, lo cual nos convertirá en un puslo, desolviviendose bajo la influencia de un gobierno africano unido. El Hotel de referencia será verdaderamente dedicado a protejer aquellos que están en el vaín y se hallan ignorantes de las desventajas a las cuales están expuestos, y como la dirección se halla a cargo de hombres que tienen gran experiencia en los negocios y han vivido más de 15 años en esta lsha, hemos sugerido la idea de que todo quedará constituiendo al alcance de todos y de cada uno de vosotros. Roena no fue construida en un dia; del mismo modo no pideiros obtener todo por lo cual trabajamos y luchamos en una corto perido de tiempo. Por medio de una constante aplicación del programa que hemos delineado, no vemos la razon por la cual no se realize a su debido tiempo el ideal de nuestra gran visión. La raza entera, sinembargo, se regresa a los cambios que gradualmente se operan en la misma doce tenemos, cifradas nuestras esperanzas. La parte agricola a que se contrae la presente circular incluye el cultivo de vegetales e inversión de sus ganancias en animales domésticos para su ayuda. El tren de lavado y salón de helados es especialmente para facilitar trabajos a nuestras mujeres necesitadas. LA CORPORACIÓN por el presente representa, o propiamente dicho, estará representada con cinco mil acciones de $2.00 cada una, que hacen un total de $10.000 moneda corriente y será aumentada según lo demande el progreso de dicha Corporación Nuestro bienes tenido en esta parte del hemisferio nueso o tiempo de esclavitud cuyo perlodo fue extendido a más de viescarios concuenta años. Podemos apreciar, por conscientia el estado o condición de nuestros hermanos en la madre patria, quienes han tenido que soporrar los mismos sufrimientos por tiempo illimitado. En la operación de estos nuevos cambios nuestra raza ha de notar la evolución directa del único curso que ha de seguir para gozar de mayor libertad: el manejo independiente de nuestros propios asuntos en la patria de nuestros anterasados. Por todo lo antes expuesto que es en sintesis la expresión fiel de nuestro modo de pensar, tenemos el gusto de presentar a ustedes nuestros planes para su entera consideración y por tanto nos permitimos su apoyo decidido. Además de los directores cuyos nombres abajo quedan expresados y que scrán oportunamente publicados en los periodicos de esta República, contanlos con el mtuño consentimiento de la autoridad a quien corresponda, pues para ello, repetimos, ha quedado constituida esta Corporación por medio de Escritura Publica otorgada ante el Notario de esta ciudad Dr. Luis F. Salazar y Salazar. La Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra ha justificado su existencia y la labor realizada por sus delegados a la Liga de Naciones sera impresa en las páginas de nuestra historia como el primer trilunfo del Negro en la política moderna. Mientras, practicamente no hemos adquirido todo cuanto demandamos de aquella asamblea, vamos adquiriendo gradualmente, por medio de nuestra insistencia, cambios beneficiosos a los intereses generales de la raza. Los citados directores, previo acuerdo de la Directiva, serán por ministerio de nuestro buen nombre los unicos encargados en vender acciones para esta Corporación. Las sociedades anti-esclavistas y protectoras de aborigenes de Inglaterra y otras sociedades semejantes de Europa han trabajado por espacio de un siglo en su esfuerzo por conseguir la abolición de la esclavitud entre los nativos de Africa, sin resultado alguno. El primer intento organizado de la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra hacia el mismo fin, ha sido coronado con éxito. Confiamos, por tal razón, que no solamente los miembros de nuestra organización sino todo elemento pensador de la raza, de a esta el crédito y apoyo a los cuales se ha hecho acreedora, crédito y apoyo necesarios con el objeto de tener siempre nuestros embajadores representandonos en las diversas conferencias internacionales que se celebren en pro del reajuste de asuntos raciales y políticos. También ustedes podrán adquirir estas acciones personándose en nuestra Oficina 6 dirigiéndonos escritos que serán atendidos con la debida eficacia. Esta Asociación cuenta con su abogado cuyo costo de servicio estará al cuidado de la misma Para la mejor y mas rápida solución de cualquier asunto relacionado con las suscripciones a esta compañía, rogamos a nuestros suscripcores nos comuniquen el lugar donde por eventualidad se hayan trasladado. Y por último, los bonos se adquiran en la Oficina de la Compañía o por correspondencia. Quedamos a su inmediata ordenes como sus atos. y s. s. La labor de la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra ha de.continuar adelante y esta debe ser patrocinada por los cuatrocientos millones de elementos que constituyen nuestra raza. Un solo acto de adelanto en beneficio de nuestra propia condición no nos satizfara; la adquisición de todo aquello que sea necesario para el enaltecimiento general de la raza, ha sido, es y sera nuestra completa satisfacción. Francia en Africa Ayer, la abolición de la esclavitud en el oriente de Africa; hoy, una nueva emancipación en el Africa occidental; mañana, probablemente, la absoluta independencia de todo el continente y la asumición del poder por los pueblos Negros del universo. Este nuevo año ha de ser un nuevo año de servicio por parte de nuestra organización. Preparemonos para presentar con mayores esfuerzos nuestra causa ante las razas y naciones del universo. Una recordación de la magnitud de las empresas coloniales francesas, e incidentalmente del interés potencial de los Estados Unidos en ellas, puede encontrarse en el informe que el Dr. de la Jarrie da en su ultima edición del French Colonial Digest, sobre el programa de trabajos en el Africa occidental francesa, prepara- do por el ministro de las Colonias, M. Sarraut. Este programa aplica solo a una pequeña parte te ritorialmente hablando, de las pos esiones francesas de Africa; o sea, al termino occidental del Sudan desde la Nirricia a Cabo Verde. En esa región M. Sarraut proponese invertir no menos de mil doscientos cincuenta millones de francos. Casi la mitad de esta suma será para ferrocarriles, cerca de la cuarta parte para irragiación y el resto para mejoras de puertos, caminos y puentes, obras de canalización y drenaje de rios. Las empresas de irrigación solamente, entenderánse sobre cerca de trescientos mil acres de la región del Niger, en donde se trata de plantar algodón, y donde se espera exceder a los grandes resultados obtenidos en las plantaciones brutánicas de algodón de Egipto. Deberia ocurrirse a los fabricantes americanos que estas empresas les ofrecen una oportunidad para competir en el suministro de maquinaria ingeniéril, eléctrica y de otras clases. Se recordara que fabricantes americanos suministraron la maquinaria para los grandes puentes del ferrocarril inglés de Kartoun y para varios de los grandes caminos de hierro de Sud Africa. El Gobierno de Puerto Rico en Discusión Parece ya semi oficialmente confirmada la nueva de la separación de Mr. E. Montgomery Reilly del gobierno de la isla de Puerto Rico. Su carrera de governante, si termina realmente ahora, habrá sido una tormentosa sucesión de conflictos con los nacionalistas de la pequeña Antilla, que desde hace más de año y medio perturbaban la vida administrativa de la isla enla. Sin inclinar el fiel de la balanza higeramente a uno u otro lado, cabe ahrmar que el gobernador Reily ha fracasado en una fase sencilla del buen gobierno: la de captar la simpatia y el respeto de sus gobernados, aun cuando las opiniones de todos no apoyen las medidas del gobernante. Sin duda, no pued esperarse de este, que ello, seria labor imposible, complacer a todos los partidos en cada resolución oficial que firmara. Pero es imprescindible en los gobiernos modernos, que los pueblos sientan dirigidos los negocios públicos por espiritus equilibrados y ecuánimes, ajenos a la pasión partidaria y separados de todo prejudicio de fracción. Esto, el governador Reily no has sabido hacerlo. Grandes sectores de opinión pública puertorriqueña—casi unanimemente se admite asciende a cerca de la mayoría del país—han estado divorciados del governador, que no logro conquistar entre sus adversarios políticos la estimación personal necesaria, ni el simple respeto convencional. Puede culparse de ello, quizá, a muchas circunstancias ajenas, o entodo caso independientes al ánimo del governador. La preparación del gobernante centra por manera decisiva en su gestión. Y, desde ese punto de vista, la preparación de Mr. Reily no le capacita para compenetrarse acertada y eficarmente con el pueblo que se confía en su dirección. Elegido para el importantismo cargo en recompensa de servicios de politica secundaria en su estado nativo, Mr. Reily no podia transformarse por obra de milagro en el funcionario de ecuanimidad perfecta, de delicada psicología para desarrollar una obra de gobierno que, siguiendo lineas propias, no hiriera sentimientos básicos de los puertorriquefios no afectos a su gestión. Por esto, originalmente, Mr. Reulz is inocente del fracaso de su gobierno—en lo que ha fracasado Es el sistema de designación el que ha fracasado. Y por ello seria de desear, que en el interés de los Estados Unidos tanto como en el de Puerto Rico mismo, el sucesor—si es que se ha de nombrar ya—de Mr. Reilly se llegara al elevado puesto por calificaciones más oportunas y míritos más adecuados que el de haber sido un excelente muniador electoral del partido republicano en las elecciones presidenciales en Kansas.—La Prensa, N. Y. Notas del Momento Las centrales de la costa norte no tienen brazos para la zafra. Y no los tienen por la enorme estupidez del gobierno de ponerle todo genero de obstaculos a la migración haitiana que es la UNICA que sive para cortar caña. Esto es inaudito; esto es algo que no pasa en ninguna otra parte más que en este pobre país donde todo el mundo parece conspirar para hacerle dafo. Toda la vida de Cuba, absolutmente toda, depende de la caña. Y no obstante eso, prensa y gobierno parecen conjurados para quitarle brazos a la caña. Tras los enormes gastos que realizan las Compañias Azucareras para traer obreros de Haiti, cuando al fin consigue desembarkarlos en Cuba, enponces, en nombre de la salud pública—que solo en esos casos se acuerda la Sanidad de que es ley suprema—gon metidog esos obreros en una inadecuada, estacion cuatrenaria, que constituye para ellos un motivo de alejamiento y de repulsión hacia el país al cual vienen animosos a trabajar. Y mientras eso realiza el gobierno, la prensa habanera presenta al negro haltiano como un elemento peligroso para la sociedad. | Peligroso el hombre que trabaja | | Peligroso el único inmigrante que corta la caña | | Peligroso, por qué? Es pacifico, no sabe de huelgas, no viene a Cuba a constituir familia, no viene a ser anno, no viene a meterse en política, no crea conflictos internacionales m aun cuando lo atropellan; viene solo a trabajar, viene solo a extraer, PARA CUBA, el oro que da la caña, el oro que enriquece al comercio español, el oro que llena las arcas nacionales, el oro que nos permite a los cubanos vivir con esplendidez y gozar, después de una buena zaft, de las delicias de Nueva York o de Paris. ¡Peligroso el haitian! ¡Peligroso porque no tiene cultura? ¡Y qué inmigrante—, cuál!—ha venido a Cuba a poner ninguna cátedra? ¡Y qué inmigrante culto vendría a Cuba a cortar caña? ¿Y qué otro inmigrante a no ser el inmigrante de roble, puede resistir el sol de un campo de cahua, ni sus piagas de insectos en las horas de calma, ni sus inundaciones, mtodo lo que hay de amargo en esas extensiones innmensas de azúcar? ¡Basta de imbecilidades! La cahna necesita del haitiano tanto como del agua y del sol, y Cuba necesita de la cahna porque esa es su unica fuente de vida. Hacen falta haitianos para que puedau la centrales hacer una buena zafra v para que pueda Cuba reponer su quebrantada riqueza. Urge, pues, franquearle la entrada a ses obreros. Urge, pues, dar al haitiano facilitades para que venga a trabajar a Cuba. Esta es una cuestion que no admite espera, salvo que el gobierno y los que estan sofiano con inmigraciones de gigantes y de sabios, esten interesados en que Cuba, rebosando riqueza en sus campos, se hunda en la miseria.—Dtario de Cuba, Santiago.

WASHINGTON BOARD OF TRADE INDORSES HOWARD MEDICAL SCHOOL ENDOW- MENT FUND CAMPAIGN WASHINGTON, D. C. Jan. 29.—By arrangements perfected through Honnable Edward F. Colladay, recently elected President of the Washington Board of Trade, President J. Stanley Durkee and Dr Emmett J. Scott, Secretary-Treasurer, of the Howard University, appeared before the Universities and Private Schools Committee of the Board of Trade. Tuesday afternoon, January 9th. at 4:30 o'clock, for the purpose of presenting the plan and program of the Howard University to secure adequate endowment for its School of Medicine. Dr. Ernest L. Thurston, Chairman of the Committee on Universities and Private Schools of the Washington Board of Trade, presided at the meeting. Remarks were made by Doctor Durkee and Doctor Scott after which motion was made and unanimously carried recommending that the Board of Trade of Washington give its endorsement to the campaign being launched by the Trustees of the Howard University so as to claim the $550,000 offered by the General Education Board of New York City provided the University raises an equal sum. At the regular monthly meeting of the Washington Board of Trade on Thursday, January 18th, 1973, the report of the Committee on Universities and Private Schools was made by Mr. E. L. Thurston, Chairman of the Committee. Besides Mr. Thurston, who presented the report on behalf of the committee, Dr. J. Stanley Durkee, President of the University and Theodore Boosevelt, Assistant Secretary of the Navy and a member of the Board of Trustees of the University, addressed the board on this subject. Dr. Durkee presented statistics regarding the students at the college and of the shortage of colored doctors in the United States, while Mr. Boosevelt said that Howard, University should be supported in the "interest of our children." The following resolutions were adopted by the Washington Board of Trade January 18, 1923: "Whereas, Howard University is an institution for the higher education of colored youth, of recognised standing, among college and university generally, and "Whereas, Its school of medicine is the only Class A Medical School in the United States, specializing in the training of colored physicians, dentists, and pharmacists, and "Whereas, The General Education Board of New York city has offered two hundred and fifty thousand dollars for needed endowment for the extension and development of the work of this school, on condition that the authorities of the university secure a like amount by July 1, 1922; be it "Resolved. That the Washington Board of Trade cordially indorse the movement to secure increased endowment for Howard University as a worthwhile effort to advance the local and national usefulness of an institution of recognised merit." The indorsement and support pledged by this great business organization at the nation's capital has given impetus to the campaign now being put under way by the university administration. THE ASHEVILLE (N. Q.) I desire to say a few words for the Asheville Division of the U. N. L. A. We are greatly entrenched here, having had with us last week the Hon. Thomas W. Anderson, a representative of the parent body, who gave us a number of able speeches and instructions on the work of the U. N. L. A. He was greatly appreciated by all who heard him, and the interest of the great movement was greatly increased both in members and the general public. Several new members were taken in and others say they are coming in. By the effort of Mr. F. S. Campbell we had just secured a more convenient place to meet, and that also gave more inspiration. I can gladly say, while we have only a very small division here, the spirit of Garveyism is increasing in Asheville. And we hope in the near future to have a strong and creditable division here, and we are planning and working to that end. L. G.

At the present time we read on page 10 fruits and vegetables are imported in large quantities from Tortoise and other British islands or from Porto Rico where conditions of life with are not marked more favorable. And while during the past year of the west teachers in the islands served on the island at salaries near £100 what they were receiving at home was £100.20 the school budget shows large expenses for the dolege well paid to employ nine teachers from the island areas and Porto Rico a large salary large expenses. Amma was a teacher for below the standard of many from teachers. We return to this matter of the whole later. One clear thing is that the line is clearly a straight line.

Then there is the question of the parochial schools. Again and again in his report the ex governor shies from the subject like a skittish colt. He seems to be afraid of handling this matter as a public official should. One begins to wonder whether education is a function of the state in the Virgin Islands as in other allied lands or whether the state is abdicating that function and transferring it to other agencies. Kittelle says in his report that while the public school enrollment in St. Croix was 1976 in 1919-20, that of the private and parochial schools was 851. That means that while the school enrollment was 1957, of every 100 children were enrolled in private schools. But in the next year the total enrollment was increased by 90, let the private and parochial schools had 40 out of every hundred. This is a situation which does not exist anywhere else in the United States, should not be permitted to exist in the Virgin Islands for the schools from St. Thomas and St. John in their results. But as between the private and parochial schools, the governor draws distinctions. It wants to hammer the private schools while the pamper the parochial schools. We see that grounds of distinctions are of little importance in the United States to get at the Newfoundland Islands. We get at the Newfoundland Islands and the world, which the people have returned to control of for years.

Pay rolls of a number of districts in Northern and Central Western industrial points are being slightly swelled by the employment of these workers who come directly from Southern States, with Georgia yielding the greatest number of migrants. Philadelphia, Pa. Portsmouth Akron and Youngstown Ohio Milwaukee Wis. Argo III Indiana Harbor Indi and Trenton and Newark, N.J. are specify points into which an appre- citable influx of Negro labor has come for absorption into industrial life. A alight increase is noted in Chicago Ill. New York, N.J. Southern Ohio and Illinois points Kansas City Mo. Camden N.J. and Detroit Mich. show no increase in the number of Negro workers, while several districts show a very slight decrease in the number of Negro labor.

In this connection the iron and steel industry continues to lead in its demand for Negro labor with meat packing glass, transportation food production, closely following and the probability is great that a wider entrance that ever before so far as specific occupations and types of employment are concerned, will eventually result from this growing movement of labor. The most significant phase of the movement is that it obtains in face of a reluctance of this labor to drift Northward in winter and the aggression prevails that the spring will bring larger numbers, providing the industrial demands prevail.
