The Negro World

The Indispensable Weekly The Voice of the Awakened Negro Negro World A Newspaper Devoted Solely to the Interests of the Negro Race VOL. XIV, No. 10 NEW YORK, SATURDAY, APRIL 21, 1923 VERSITY OF MINNESOTA RECEIVED MAY PRICE: FIVE CENTS IN GREATER NEW YORK SEVEN CENTS BLOSTHAMES IN THE U.S. TEN CENTS IN PORTER COUNTY AFRICA'S WEALTH ATTRACTING EUROPEAN CAPITALISTS AND ADVENTURERS NEGROES ADVISED TO PITCH IN AND PROTECT THEIR COUNTRY FELLOW MEN OF THE NEGRO RACE, Greeting: Gradually we are witnessing an increasing encroachment upon our rights on the Continent of Africa by the adventurous European races. Already the great colonizing governments of Europe have established themselves all over Africa by way of political control, but now we find that they are calling upon their different nationals to go out and take up their residence on the Continent for the purpose of exploiting the country and its natural resources. OPEN APPEAL MADE We find that an open appeal is now being made to the white capitalists of different countries to invest in the exploitation of the oil fields, diamond, gold and iron mines of the "old homeland." This means that in a short time Africa will become the centre of the world's commercial activities, at which time the black man will naturally be relegated to his accustomed place of being the "underdog" of the African civilization. This is about to happen in the face of a highly developed Negro civilization in the Western world, wherein men of our race seek the same opportunities in things economic as the other races of the world. Doesn't it suggest that we are sleeping on the job? That while we desire all that other people live and hope for, that we should sit supinely by and allow them to take away from us that which is our natural heritage and right? If European capital should further invest itself it Africa it will mean that there will not be any room for our race to enter into the scheme of African development. GOVERNMENTS CALLING UP NATIONALS But now that the opportunity presents itself why not let us do that which the different governments are calling upon their nationals to do at this time in Africa? ADVICE OF U. N. I. A. The advice of the Universal Negro Improvement Association to all skilled Negroes is that they make up their minds to betake themselves to Africa, there to assist in its development, for in another quarter or half a century Africa will take the place of the most forward and progressive nations of today. The hidden wealth and resources of Africa, if properly exploited, will make any race that enters into the scheme of development today independent and progressive. There is absolutely no reason why the four hundred million Negroes of the world should not make a desperate effort to reconquer Africa from the white man, in that, whether he BLACK MILLIONAIRES A POSSIBILITY IN AFRICA IF NEGROES WILL CONSIDER REDEEMING THE COUNTRY SOME OF US MUST MAKE UP OUR MINDS TO DIE BIG FUTURE FOR RACE be English, French, German, Italian or Spanish, their one and only interest is selfish exploitation and domination. Why should we allow them to exploit and dominate the land of our fathers? If the native Africans are unable to appreciate the value of their own country, from the standard of Western civilization, then it is for us, their brothers, to take to them the knowledge and information that they need to help to develop the country for the common good. It is preferable that Negroes do ever part of the world reap the benefits of African wealth than any of the white races of today. LOOK TOWARD AFRICA The Universal Negro Improvement Association therefore encourages Negroes everywhere to look toward Africa as the goal of our ambition and as the hope of our physical salvation. NO ROOM FOR RACE Why should we allow Belgium, Portugal, Spain, Italy, France and England to build up and rehabilitate their bankrupt nations and civilizations out of the wealth and resources of our country? They have no room for us in their countries, and surely we should have absolutely no room for them for exploitation in ours. We have allowed cowardice and fear to take possession of us for a long while, but that will never take us anywhere. It is no use being afraid of these nations and peoples. They are human beings like ourselves. We have blood, feelings, passions and ambitions just as they have. Why, therefore, should we allow them to trample down our rights and deprive us of our liberty? COURAGE OF MANHOOD Negroes everywhere must get that courage of manhood that will enable them to strike out irrespective of who the enemy is and demand those things that are ours by right, moral, legal and divine. PREPARE OURSELVES Let us prepare ourselves throughout the world for the combat that is bound to ensue between the rivaling force for the ultimate domination of our country, Africa. Surely as long as the present generation lives we are not going to give up easily and allow these European intruders to rob, exploit and dominate the country of our fathers. OIL FIELDS OF AFRICA If the oil of Africa is good for John D. Rockefeller's interest; if the iron ore is good enough for the Carnegie Trust, then, surely, they are of interest to us. Why should we sit down and allow Wall Street and John D. Rockefeller and the capitalist group of America and other countries to exploit our country when they refuse to give us a fair chance in the countries of our adoption? Why should not Africa give to the world its black Rockefeller, Carnegie, Schwab and Henry Ford? and now is the opportunity, gentlemen. Now ist he chance for every Negro to make every effort toward a commercial, industrial standard that will make us comparable with the successful business men of the other races. AFRICA INVITES CAPITAL As Africa invites capital for the development of the resources of the country, let not that capital, whether it be financial or man-power, be solely supplied by the white man, but let us as Negroeo pitch in and do our part. NEEDS PROPER EDUCATION All that Africa needs is proper education. The Western Negro has much of that and it doesn't cost much to give it to our brothers to prepare them so as to place them on their guard against the tricky exploiters of Europe who have been deceiving them and robbing them of their possessions for many centuries. TO REDEEM AFRICA To redeem Africa we must do it with open arms and open hearts, as the Irish are doing; as other peoples have done. We must not, some of us, be afraid to die. HELP U. N. I. A; The Universal Negro Improvement Association is, therefore, expecting much of those Negroes who have caught the vision of service, who are really patriots to the cause of African Redemption. We are expecting you to give us your moral and financial aid to force this program on and on until we have reached the pinnacle of success. You can help us with your $1, $5, $10 or $20 to finance this program. If you have it, send it to the Secretary-General, Universal Negro Improvement Association, 56 West 135th Street, New York City, U. S. A. With very best wishes, I have the honor to be Your obedient servant, MARCUS GARVEY, President-General, UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION, PHILADELPHIA, Pa., April 18, 1923. P. S. Again I have to remind all members. Divisions and Chapters and Branches to make every effort possible to send in their immediate support to the Parent Body to enable us to carry on the work of the association. No one will be regarded as a true and loyal member of the association who does not see to it that his or her division keeps financial with the parent body at this time. M. G. FUSIASTIC MEETING AT LIBERTY HALL, NEW YORK CITY GARVEY ADVISES NEGROES GO TO AFRICA AND DEVELOP COUNTRY HON. RUDOLPH SMITH BRINGS INSPIRING MESSAGES FROM STATE OF OHIO BIG ORGANIZATION SWEEPING COUNTRY LIBERTY HALL, New York, Sunday Night, April 15—If the size of the audiences that consistently through Liberty Hall Sunday night after Sunday night can be taken as an indication of the belief of the masses in the principles propounded and advocated by the Universal Negro Improvement Association, it must be conceded that the association is today as potent a factor in the lives of the Negro people of New York as it has ever been since the movement was launched five years ago. To be able to draw the great crowds which still rally to the cause despite the opposing influences which have been systematically at work to destroy and hamper the work of the association, is proof positive that the program presented by the association for Negro uplift and betterment far aupresses in merit and practicability any program that has ever been offered for the solution of the Negro problem in America and anywhere in the world. Not only in New York is the spirit of enthusiasm and determination manifested, but from other parts of the country comes the gratifying news that day by day the association is gaining converts who are deserting the ranks of other Negro organizations and joining hands with the Universal Negro Improvement Association, determined to give their support morally and financially toward the putting over of the program. Returning from the State of Ohio to Hon. Rudolph Smith brought glowing reports of the unabated enthusiasm for the cause in that State, especially in the cities of Cleveland and Cincinnati, where he said the association was attracting overwhelming audiences at all their meetings, while other supposedly uplift Negro organizations were staging their meetings before crowds so meager that they were unable to meet the expense of their meeting places. This goes to show, said Mr. health, that he mattered to the Negroes and that he would here to stay. The association, he said, had awakened the Negro to the fact that he too, like the other weaker peoples in the world, must get together and make a bid for the establishment of a government of their own which will afford them protection wherever they may be and thus command the admiration and respect of the other races of the world. Hon. Marion Garcia spoke briefly on the great possibilities which the continent of Africa offers, but when through the lack of activity on the part of the Negro were being exploited by the white man for the purpose of increasing his wealth and building up great empires. He urged Negroes to take a greater interest in Africa, adding that if Frederick Douglass in America and Sir Conrad Reeves in the West Indies had educated Negroes to ward Africa, today there would have been a vast African empire, and England nor France nor Italy would not have the hold on Africa that they have today. But, said he, the U. N. L. A. has started to open the eyes of the natives of Africa, and we have brought the Africans to the point where they are hiding many things from the exploiter that will be known to us later on. Thank God the U. N. L. A. has covered the entire continent and we have reached the point where we can trust those natives to hold the fort until we arrive. HON. MARCUS GARVEY SPEAKS Hon. Marcus Garvey spoke as follows: I have in my hand a bit of news that should interest each one of you, in that we have been talking about Africa for so long and some of you have doubted the possibilities of Africa. Some of you have ignored the significance of our talk about Africa, but I want to read to you this bit of news, after which I will make A NEW WAY TO GET YOUR CLOTHES ABSOLUTELY FREE and make them more beautiful, more comfortable, and more useful than they were before. They are now available for purchase at the lowest prices, and are free of charge. DOUBLE PAY For those who want to buy their clothes at the lowest prices and are free of charge, they are now available for purchase at the lowest prices and are free of charge. a few remarks. It shows that Africa today is the biggest game in the hunt of nations and races. Africa today is regarded as we have always said, as the richest spot in the world to be exploited by those who are keen enough and appreciative enough to invest their money and their interests in the development of that continent. This news is taken from today's "Tribune: New Railways and Harbors Are Being Constructed to Empty Mineral and Agricultural Wealth on World CAPE TOWN, April 15. Probably at no period in the last twenty-five years has there been such manifold activity in the development of Africa's resources as at present. In the southern sub-continent, the Union of South Africa is constructing many new railway lines and electrifying several important existing routes. Projects for new harbors from Cape Town to Kosi Bay are under consideration, while the Portuguese are spending millions in port and railway equipment at Delagoa Bay and Beira. Portuguese capitalists are discussing other projects of equal magnitude in the Portuguese colonies in conjunction with American, British and Belgian capital. In the Belgian Congo, which admittedly is the most progressive part of Africa today, the central spine of the Cape to Cabo route is still broken by the existing breach from the Congo to the Nile, but no less than five railway routes are being surveyed for early construction, while a magnificent system of equatorial roads is materializing to synchronize with the growing motor traffic, connecting theory, the infrastructure, profitable mines and tropical plantations with the river steamers and existing main railroads in this prosperous Belgian colony. In the Nile Valley, from the Delta to Lake Victoria, Nyanza, is to be found Africa's richest Poisoned bay, which only awaits opening to surprise the world with its great mineral treasure. To the east, along the coast of the Red Sea, there are rich oil wells and huge phosphate deposits. In Kenya Province there is a great industrial activity, both by the government and the settler community. In Tanganyika territory there are great fertile plantation areas with immense mineral potentialities, and American capitalists are being urged to come these and develop them. Indications of coal and metalferrous wealth have been found in the Portuguese colonies of Nyasaland and Zambia, but there is no country that commands sufficient resources to develop them except the United States. Foreign residents of Africa say there are fortunes to be made here by those who are willing to undertake the work of development. That is the Africa we have been talking about. The white man himself admits that Africa is teaching with wealth, that Africa is now the richest spot in the world and that all that is necessary is for interest to be manifested by capitalists in the development of the continent. What does it mean? It means that you and I and all of us of this Negro race have slept for hundreds of years, allowing during that period of time the great Caucasian race and the other great races to develop their own countries, their own homes and habitats until they have reached the point of exhaustion. They have practically extracted from their own countries all the wealth those countries could produce, and we have remained dormant for 300 years, ignoring the possibilities of our country, ignoring the wealth of our country, until at this late hour we have allowed these other people to be thinking about leaving their own countries, over exploited and over-developed, for the development of our country and the robbing of the wealth that the country produces. Now what does that mean? It means that in another 50 or 100 years, if European and American capital goes to Africa for the development and exploitation of Africa, Africa will be just like Europe and like the United States of America. It will become the future home and country of the white man, wherein with a small amount of in- THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, APRIL 21, 1923 vestiment, with a small amount of capital they will have so exploited the country as to cause it to produce an abundance of wealth that will render and make Africa the wealthiest country and continent in the world, with probably the greatest civilization that the world will see in another 100 or 200 years, which will be a civilization owned and controlled by white men, where you and I in that period of time will fall back in the natural life of that country, just as we have in the United States of America at the present time—a secondary part of the civilization of that country which we once owned, where later on we will have to beg jobs and beg for a chance, just as we are begging for jobs and for a chance now in the United States of America; because when it comes to the point that the white man will invest his money for the development of Africa it means that he is going to employ labor in doing this, and this same Negro, who says he has lost nothing in Africa, when he D. Rockefeller is ready to develop the oil resources of Africa, he will carry you by the thousands to Africa, and you will go as quickly as you know go from New York to Ohio to seek a job. When Schwab is ready to develop the iron and steel mines of Africa you will go there as readily as we go from here to Pennsylvania to work in the mines. Yet we say we have nothing in Africa, while Africa offers to us its possibilities while the white man is developing his own continent in Europe and America—offer the opportunity to Negroes to go there and take an interest in helping to develop the country, not for white men but for Negroes. The white man is now doing it, not with the intention of building for other races, but with the intention of building for himself. Every one of you knows the value of mineral; every one of your knows and appreciates the value, of oil. If you do not know I will tell you that out in Oklahoma and in the West people who have oil lands are regarded as the most wealthy people in the country. If you have an acre or two or three acres of land with oil, that represents thousands and thousands of dollars to you, because oil is being consumed all over the country and all over the world, and if you have an oil well it means so many thousands of dollars to you every day, according to the amount of oil you can get out of that well. Colored men and white men wake up over night in Oklahoma and Texas and find themselves millionaires and rich men because oil happens to be discovered on their property. Now, that same kind of oil is in Africa. In Pennsylvania men wake up over night and find themselves wealthy, having incomes of thousands and thousands of dollars, because coal happens to be found on their property. Coal is in Africa; coal, oil and all the minerals that you can talk about and think of are to be found in Africa and are awaiting your intelligence—not so much your capital as your intelligence. The Africans—unfortunately our brothers—have not been schooled to the appreciation of this valuable mineral wealth of Africa. They have not been schooled to the methods of exploiting this mineral wealth. For a long while they had diamonds alongside of them—sleeping on top of diamonds—and were unable to know the value of diamonds; but the white man went there with his scientific commercial knowledge and saw that it was diamond, took away the property from them and now control the diamond fields of Kimbelfey and Johannesburg and the entire Union of South Africa, where the greatest amount of diamonds are produced. Once upon a time the native Africans owned all the wealth that Cecil Rhodes ultimately exploited and robbed them of. The diamonds you buy at Tiffany's and the great jewels downtown, the bulk of it come from Africa. The diamond fields are now owned by the white men, who went there when Negroes did not know the value of diamonds and took away the lands from them and finally reduced the natives who owned the land to slavery and got them to mine the diamonds, and with what they have taken away from the natives have practically built up the British Empire, because the entire wealth of Britain today is kept together by the diamond fields of South Africa; the whole British Empire owes its present existence to the wealth which has been recruited from Africa—the wealth that you find I could have controlled fifty years ago, because fifty years ago there was not so much interest in Africa. It is only within the last twenty-five years that Great Britain and finally Spain started the wholesale colonization of Africa. I. Frederick Douglas in America and Sir Conrad Reven in the West Indies had educated Negroes toward Africa, today there would have been a vast African Empire, and neither England nor France nor Italy would have, hold Africa as they do today. It is only within the last twenty-five years that these great Colonial powers have started to colonize Africa and now that they have realized the wealth of Prepares men and women for business occupations and affords those who are not educated an opportunity to complete their education. Through training in Africa they are focusing their attention upon the secret of extracting from Africa the great wealth which it possesses and you, and I are sitting down hero talking about having lost nothing in Africa. We are going to lose our lives later on knocking around having nowhere to go and no plan to look forward to, and that same whifo man is going to take the native tribes of Africa and reduce them to the same kind of slavery that we are in here and if not slavery, the poonage as exists in Florida. Today they are seeking new capitalization in an endeavor to develop the coal, iron and other mineral industry they are seeking there. Europe is bankrupt and can not advance the capital for the development of those industries and therefore they are coming to America to get the capital of Wall street to start in the exploitation of this great wealth of Africa. We say to you if oil is good for the Rockefeller trust, if iron is good for the Carnegie trust, if rubber is good for the great rubber concerns of the United States of America in that these things represent the wealth of a race or a nation, they are also good for you. You are living by the material possibilities of life and those are things that contribute to the material wealth of a race or a nation. They are things which have been lying at your door for centuries, and you and I are going to sit down here and allow the other fellow to go and take away from us while we are crying for the same thing. The Universal Negro Improvement Association has started to open the eyes of the native Africans, and although you have done this wonderful work without appreciating it, we have brought the Africans to the point where they are hiding many things from the exploiter that will be known to us later on. Thank God the Universal Negro Improvement Association has covered the entire continent, and we have reached the point where we can trust those natives to hold the fort until we arrive. (Applause). And thus I am appealing to the scientific intelligence of the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and especially to liberty Hall. We want men of scientific and mechanical skill for service in Africa; and, starting from next month, I am going to advise every Negro of scientific and mechanical ability who can find a thousand dollars to take his flight to Africa. I have personally encouraged already nearly fifty men to go to Africa within the last two months. Two days ago the last one said, I do not want anybody to go to Africa at the present time that has no money and has no scientific skill because we are not ready for you there yet; but we want men of scientific and mechanical skill—mining engineers, mechanical engineers, civil engineers and chemists—to go to Africa now because in another ten or twenty years you will be the John D. Rockefeller and Andrew Carnegie of Africa. (Applause). So that we are going to advance a program in another skirt, days which will cover the great African program, and as we have said already, the next great convention—the convention of 1924—will be held on the continent of Africa. (Applause.) HON. RUDOLPH SMITH SPEAKS Hon. Rudolph Smith spoke in a lectures terms of the brilliant success which was attending the work of the Universal Negro Improvement Association in the State of Ohio and especially the cities of Cleveland and Upland. The members there, he declared, are working unceasingly for and giving the utmost support to the program of the association. He made a comparison of the meager crowds which other organizations and leaders of other movements had been able to attract in those cities, as against the thousands who attended the meetings of the association wherever they are held, and throw their lot in heart and soul with the movement. This goes to show, such he, that no matter what done, the spirit of the V. N. L. A. here to stay. We did not join their movement, he said, because we thought that we were going to secure high positions and that ultimately lots of ships were going to transfer Negroes by the wholesale to Africa, but we joined this movement with the idea that a government must be established in Africa to protect Negroes' lives and property. That can not be done in the United States of America because there is already an established government here and under a guild of international law can it be shown where you have a government within a government. It is common knowledge that throughout the world at this time the weaker peoples are gathering themselves together and are building up a home of their own strong enough to protect them in every part of the world. The Chinese are rising from their slumber; the Indians are coming together in the pre-operationist movement, and already Luxem has secured a government and placed a king to rule over them. In like manner the Negro feels that he also must do as other weaker peoples are doing and that he also must have a government. This can not be done in a day; it can not be done in two on three years; it may take a decade or two or it may take ten decades, but despite that fact Negroes are starting now to lay the concrete foundation that must be laid. The fathers who built the American continent labored and labored for years before they gave the American people the America they have today, and if we as a race of people, expect that we can establish a government within three or four years, we may as well change our mind show. We have got to start out to lay the foundation so that our children may take up where we left off, and in due course of time we shall have a government strong enough to protect Negroes in every part of the world. (Applause.) Some say it is a dream, but it is the biggest and best dream of the age. It is a dream that will do more to solve the Negro problem than all the talk about social equality, which will never come about until the Negro has established a government of his own and made himself commercially and industrially independent; for that reason we are going to stick to the Universal Improvement Association until Africa is redeemed. --- DEBATING AT HOWARD WASHINGTON, D. C., April 12. There is very keen interest in debating at the Howard University this year. Since the preliminaries which resulted in the selection of first and second teams, their two teams have been laboring assiduously in the final preparation for this intercollegiate activity. The selections of first and second teams were only tentative, but since the coaches have had the opportunity to judge the calibre of work of the members of these teams, they have practically decided that the teams be permanent. The team to meet Atlanta University in the regular annual debate with that school to be held at Atlanta, Ga., on April 27, will be composed of Mr. Y. L. Simpson and Mr. Irving Gough, with Mr. W. R. Adams and Mr. M. G. Elmands as alternates. The teams to compete Lincoln and Union in the annual triangle will, in all probability, be Messrs. L. E. King, P. H. Robb and G. Carrington to meet Union, and Messrs. J. A. Curry, A. C. Gilbert, and A. M. Brady to engage Lincoln. The alternates are Messrs. F. Williams, D. Most, and A. C. Maxwell. The triangle teams are under the direction of Professor Gregory. Professor Rich has, the supervision of the team to engage Atlanta. These gentlemen are sparing no efforts to put on the forum another winning aggregation. The triangle contest takes place on April 27, with Union's affirmative team engaging Howard's negative at Richmond, Lincoln's affirmative engaging Union's negative in Atlantic City, and Howard's affirmative entertaining Lincoln's negative in Washington. Howard's negative team of the dual contest with Atlantic's affirmative in Atlanta. The question for the triangle contest is, Resolved, That France was justified in occupying German territory to collect the requisition guaranteed by the peace treaty of Versailles. The decision for the dual contest is, Resolved, That the Republican party by its attitude on the Ivy Air Lynchings Bill has petitioned the allegiance of the Negro Adey of America. The contest should be most interesting because of the importance of the questions and the preliminary care that has accompanied the preparation for a discussion of them. Say "Bayer" and Insist!

Maintosh, member of the Federal Board for Vocational Education. In fifteen of the seventeen Southern States which maintain separate public schools for Negroes, vocational schools of agriculture have been organized. In these schools the colored boy is offered intensive training to fit him for all branches of practical farming. At the close of the fiscal year 1921-22, a total of 165 vocational agricultural schools for Negroes were in operation. This number compares with 123 schools reported for the previous year. Pupils enrolled in agricultural classes in 1921-22 numbered 4,064. In 1920-21 the enrollment was only 3,243. The increase for the year approximated 25 per cent. The only limiting factor to the expansion of these schools is the lack of trained Negro vocational teachers, says Mr. McIntosh. To supply teachers, the States are maintaining teacher-training schools. Last year 280 prospective vocational teachers were in training in these schools. In twelve of the States' further assistance is given to vocational teachers by "Illiterate teacher trainers who spend part of each year traveling from school to school and adding in the organization of local work. Negro vocational education is supported by combined Federal, State and local appropriations. Under the Federal Vocational Education Act, the States receive an annual grant of Federal, vocational funds, on condition that they match the Federal money dollar for dollar, by State and local appropriations. All schools receiving Federal and State money must be public, and must be maintained at approved standards. The instruction in these schools must be of a character that actually itit the graduate pupil to successfully enter the vocation of agriculture. The cost of such schools is almost completely reimbursed by the yield of farm products of the pupils in supervised practice work. All agricultural pupils are required to put in six months of each year in practice farming, under school supervision. During the fiscal year 1920-21, farm projects were completed by 2,475 pupils in the colored schools. The total crop yield from such projects was $244,389.08. A new development in the vocational field is the organization of part-time and evening classes for adult farmers. At the close of the fiscal year 1921-22 there were 64 part-time or evening schools in operation, with an enrollment of 1,035 pupils. Through the part-time and evening schools vocational training is extended to the great group which is already outside of the public schools. The Negro vocational schools are conducted directly by the States, with the cooperation of the Federal Board for Vocational Education, H.O. S.

COLORED MAN WINS TYPEWRITING CONTEST Editor The Negro World. Sir: I had the pleasure of reading in The Negro World of January 13, 1923, two articles under the heading, "Stilelight on Brazil Racial Conditions," Being a young colored (mulatto) Brazilian twenty-two years of age, I took a strong interest in the matter, chiefly on account of its dealing with the progress of my country. it occurred to me that it would be of interest to you to know that the Brazilian colored people have once morshamed their improvement, the undersigned having had the pleasure of winning first place in the Brazilian type-writing competition that took place during the cenennial celebrations in Rio de Janeiro in October, 1922, between 128 Brazilian typists, among whom were several of the most export, which means that our race has had the opportunity of seeing one of its members succeed in this important branch of human activity. I believe this will be of interest to you, and although it might look like lack of modesty on my part, I am constructive and will understand the intent of this communication and publish a few lines in The Negro World, as I think it well within the purposes of this newspaper. For anything I may be of use to you, I remain. Yours truly.

I read with deep interest a letter that appeared on the front page of said as he sent to Dr. Dubous by E. N. Edwards of Waco, Texas. The letter in itself did not surprise me, coming so did from a Texan, whose sentiment is the key, embodiment of white supremacy. "Bug was shocked to the soul within at theuisely attempt made at a reply to the letter from Edwards by the learned 'doctor of Harvard, Terri and elsewhere I am only a plantation laborer. My parents were too poor to give me an education, hence, due to the environment that surrounded me at birth and which still surrounds me, coupled with the thalamus to which I am subjected. I only learned my alphabets three years ago and started to acquire a knowledge of long-hand writing, and to attend Sunday school at one and the same time, therefore I am not capable of attacking the learned doctor of philosophy in the attitude of criticism, as it would be out of keeping with the issue. However, this sage, this learned doctor, this genius, this illustrious race leader, has yet to explain to me, an uninformed plantation laborer, what he means by social equality. Where does their exist in this twentieth century evidence more convincing of the utter incompetence of Dubois as a leader than in this, his colossal failure, so suitably and appropriately reply to Edwards of Texas? I think Dubois racially weak in the knees, due to the staining posture he continuously assumes. I think Dubois is beggarly for the simple reason that this man is dependent for his existence as a leader and a race educator upon the bread and meat dout, to him by a white, organization that pretends to be working in the interest of and for the advancement of Negroes. How preposterous? God help such an advancement." Speaking of the U. N. J.

Most Successful Specialist in the Treatment of Obscure and Chronic Diseases By "strength" I mean strength, vim and the ability to perform all the duties and enjoy all the pleasures of life. If you are weak, you not only cannot all the physical tortures of the disease itself, but you suffer from a consciousness that your strength and personal magnetism is gradually that surely slipping away. The horror of this thought increases as your weakness grows. It has been correctly estimated that one in every tom is afflicted with some form of vital weakness that taps the very fountain source of life. It is ever persistent, drawing capitually on the resources of bodily strength, until the victim is weakened to the point where the most pathetic of thoughts that there are thousands of afflicted, suffering all the ravages of weakness, who may never bear of the certainty of relief, and must the form continue to suffer on in utter despair until the end. WHAT IS HEALTH, VIM AND VITALITY? It is the thing which makes success; it gives that compelling power which sends you forth eager and equipped to meet and overcome all obstacles; it is the thing which gives the young soldier courage to face death; it is the thing which inspires and holds love and faith. I can give you this sage vital power. I can restore the vigor and magnificence you lost, no matter what early or later indiscretion may have sapped your strength. The man or woman who bubbles with vital power will exert a pleasing influence upon all with whom they come in contact; women are, as naturally attracted as are men. Lack of vitality is a negative condition, and it even repels. My blood-cell treatment sends a great, glowing, health-giving current of vitality into your nerves, blood and organs; it takes all the "kink" out of your back and all the coward out of your makeup; it puts you right up in the "feeling-fine" claim and keeps you there. No stimulation, no false results; just a sure return to strength and courage. MEN You know you never will get well without help. Do not complicate your sickness with patent medicine that partly helps you, but leaves you still diseased. When I treat you, you are permanently and completely relieved and strong again. WOMEN Women are the burden bears the physician who understand physiological function can say sufferings.

The committees have their personal promises to appear and that they are pleased to save this opportunity to do for others. It is one of the traits of real men and women of exceptional talent and ability that they never, without the best of reasons, refuse to help, either with their purses or presence when asked in the name of charity. The relief that has been done currently this winter among all fraternities runs into large figures, and all fraternities have found it necessary in one way or another to come before the public with some kind of entertainment for the treasuries. The Knights of Pythias of the E. & W. H. have not since 1817 asked the support any kind of benefit, so the committees has chosen to present to the men folks what they think will appeal to them directly. To this end, on Saturday evening, April 28, beginning at 8:30, at the Fifth Regiment Armory, they take pleasure in presenting their artists of pugilistic fame, merriment, song, etc., at their concert for your entertainment and pleasure, as follows: Former world's champion, Mr. Jack A.

It is ever po becomes a the most p ravages of years Specialist for 25 Years Specialist for 25 Years CAMBRIDGE, Mead, April 18 (Science News Bureau)—As the result of recent researches in the pyramids at Mepy, near Khartoum, in the Anglo-Egyptian Soudan, Professor George A. Relinger, head of the United States scientific expedition operated for the past three years under the auspices of Harvard University, and the Boston Museum-of-Fine Arts, states that the Ethiopian are not and were not African Negroes, and describes them as "dark colored races in which brown prevails," adding, however, that many individuals show a mixture of black blood. Scientific History of Ethiopia Scientific examination and analysis of the fifty royal tomb in the cemeteries at Meroe, some 660 miles south of Luxor and the Valley of Kings, where the discovery of King Tut-Ankh-Amen's tomb was recently made, has resulted in the determination of the chronological basis for the history of Ethiopia during the Meretie era, claims Prof Reisngs. These researches, says Professor Reisner, have established that the culture of the Ethiopians stood as an outpost of Egyptian civilization in Middle Africa and that in the art of the Ethiopians a Greek influence obtained and that invention of a script of their own was evidence that the Ethiopians were a people of genius. The Biblical impression that Ethiopia was governed by a long line of queens named Candace, held in the New Testament and by Pilty and Strabo, was dispelled by the excavation. It appeared that from 758 B.C. every ruler of Ethiopia was a male, Dr. Gamer asserted. The five queens buried in the royal cemetery with the country's kings were mothers who had served as regents during the minority of their king-sons, the thought. Biblical History of Ethiopia In the Bible we read of the Queen of Sheba visiting Solomon, but Biblical history sheds but little light on who the Queen of Sheba was at that time the largest city of Ethiopia, and Queen Nicheba, who is spoken of simply as the Queen of Sheba, was in reality the Queen of Ethiopia. Officially the country is known as "Ethiopia." This is the term used by both the United States State and Postal Office departments, also by the British government in its 1897 treaty. It is the name chosen by the people of the country itself. In "Campaign of Alba and the Rise of Menela," by C. H. H. Berkeley, page 4, the following explanation appears: "Ethiopia is the name of whom we have known it since the d. before the Book of Genesis was written; the word 'Alvissima' is merely a corruption of 'Amwesra,' the people of northern blood of the mountain, a term of pronunciation used at by Mammasufin invader and introduced in Europe by the Portuguese." Church of Ethiopia Oldest in Christendom According to Pope W. J. Clement, bishop of Simpson Magistrate, in lieu of the late Queen of Modena, he and a graduate of the College of First and the University of Macedonia, Euston, the Church of Ethiopia (Abyssinia), may be the oldest of Churches from Rome, about the 10th century. Some of the Ethiopians to the Church of the Coptic Orthodox Church are the descendants of that queen of Ethiopia was安装 in the bible history by the march of Queen Coptic安装 to Emperor Tameq Dasha. Methodism and Strom (Methodism) are immense Love from the A.D. and Europe, who thundered about 123 A.D. before gave similar times.

Taylors of Freetown, Sierra Leone, West Africa, a member of the Hampton Institute class of 1921, School of Agriculture, who, with three other student delegates and two faculty members from Hampton Institute, attended the Student Volunteer Convention of Virginia, which was held at the East Dafford Normal School, recently gave, in Ogden Hall, Hampton Institute, to a large company of Hampton workers, students and visitors, a brief report on the seven sessions of the missionary conference. He stated that the demand in the mission field is so great their good work can be done even by those who are non-Christian. He also stated that at this student convention forty men and women volunteered to go into missionary service. DR. W. E.

Church (white) on Sunday afternoon last and again on Monday evening at shorter A. M. Church, and while we commend the scholarly gentleman for his efforts on Sunday before the white people, yet we could not do justice to ourselves and to our group. If we did not express our utter disappointment at the lecture on Monday evening which he intended to deliver, "The Black Man in a Wounded World" and which, although we listened with added attention, never heard the dream on his topic. He started with a reminder of his visit to Denver in 1911 on his way to the Congress of Races held in London, England, and requested his auditors to bear with him in reviewing the entrance into the war of the Negro in the various impending so as to prepare them for the lecture. After thirty minutes of emphasis on this review, the lecturer branched off to the N. A. N. A. C.

I respectfully beg to report to you that since December, 1922 the Negro World issues are all kept at the Post Offices and are not delivered to the subscribers. Special circulators have been sent to all the district postmasters on the Gold Coast by the authorities to keep the papers at the Post Office and send them back to the Return-Letter Office, Aerma, General Post Office, for distribution. Owing to this secret prohibition many subscribers are afraid to send in remittances to renew their yearly subscriptions.

Whensthey called the black man a “Negro,” ‘they didn’t refer to a man who was black in complexion, -but to a being| who was less than’ a. man. oa : |The black man is the only living individual whose modern name is different from his medieval and ancient name, ‘The Greeks, Hebrews and other ancient natiots calied dark browri and black men Ethiopians. It comes from the Greek word “Aethiops,”” meaning burnt black by the sai. ‘The Bible asks, "Can the Ethiopian change his color or the-leapard, his spots$” ‘The saying, “To wash an Ethiopian white” was a Greek saying to indicate an impossible task. : ~~ "The Romans referred to dark brown and black men as Numidians, Nubians and Liby’ans; medieval Europe as Moors. ~~ Why, then, was the black man derisively called Negro by ‘tyis, Cau- * eagian slavers? ‘To divorce him racially from black and dark brown races which have made contributions to civilization, # Well can the critics of ‘the black man say, “The?

European sources of labor are almost closed, and, facing a crippling shortage, it is natural that the industrial world should turn to the South and its Negro population for relief. The Negro race is the largest body of common labor left in the country. It remained almost entirely unmolested until the World War shut off immigration, and speeded up industry to a point where there was urgent demand for manual workers. That situation brought about a great exodus of Negroes from the agricultural regions of the South to industrial centers of the East and Middle West. The high prices of agricultural products during the period acted as a check, but the Negroes came north by the thousands, and no matter what the more optimistic Southerners said or thought about it, the vast majority of them remained. The movement suffered a definite check during the period of depression that followed the war. A secondary exodus is modern way now and there are few sections of the agricultural South today where the acute situation has not reached an acute stage. In some, farming operations have suffered severely. In the more prosperous sections, enough Negroes remain to make crops on the better managed plantations, although the margin even there is scant. Bell Wavilil a Factor Too. The pull of industry is not the only influence at work. The boll weevil has complicated successful farming in the South to a point where the average tenant farmer, never earning more than enough for a bare living, has found himself running further and further into debt each season, with very little chance of ever paying up. Negroes in the cotton growing regions of the South have had it very hard the past few seasons; whole families have gone through a year on $60 worth of "furlashing," store bought necessaries of life, and when the crop was gathered have found themselves unable to pay even that small amount. That there has not been acute suffering among these "share croppers" is more to the credit of the social climate in which they live than to any economic reason. By raising practically everything they eat and yoyaring a minimum of clothing, they have managed to live—exist is a better word. Is it any wonder, then, that when the opportunity presented itself they have hurried away by the trainload to factory towns or to large cities where steady work, with a good income, was assured? This economic situation has been the actuating factor in the exoduses, especially in the present one. There are others. The Negroes generally are ambivalent for their children. The average attendance of Negro children in many sections of the South far surpasses that of the whites, a fact that has long been recognized by students of the racial problem of the South. The Negro schools in the South, gen- OLD MEN ARE BEING MADE "YOUNG" AGAIN OLD MEN ARE BEING MADE "YOUNG" AGAIN . Science Finds a Way to Restore Youthful Vigor to the Aged Without An Operation A way to restore youthful vigor to aged persons, without an operation or dangerous drugs, has been discovered by scientists. The new discovery is a simple, safe tablet preparation known as korex, which can be used by any person. It is made from human phytolactin. It has been pit to thousands of tests and has achieved results that seem almost miraculous. For instance, a New Orleans man more than 60 years old, makes this report: "I feel so good from the effects of the korex tablet that I would not take $5,000 for what it has done. It has brought me back to its good, healthy physical condition as I feltjoyed at $6. I am apparently as supple as it is 25.4. my eyesight is better than for years." A man in Chattanooga, Teen, writes: "I have given korex a thorough trial and have seen its results. I feel like a 16-year old boy." A citizen of Charleston, S. C., says: 'My tongue is not able to utter the praise, korex should receive. It is a goodness to suffer humanity. I feel as K I was 15, and yet I am 53. Though I made many of them by women, who praise the discovery highly. Hundreds who have tested the treatment certify that the effects are felt quickly, sometimes within twenty-four hours. Distribution of the genuine korex in the United States is controlled daily by the National Bureau of Statistics, Kansas City, Mo. These bureaures have fixed a fair price of $3 on a special double-strength prepared for home use. This treatment will be sent in a print, emailed to anyone who writes for K. Korexes should send $3 with their letter to the bureau, delivered not the包裹, which are nationally owned and thoroughly reliable, will receive $3 in the korexes in not-required within a week. The supply bureaures is limited, so those who write to the laborers molly apprehension have been taken year, partly on an advantage of the older, relatively history of the nation, and partly because it is only of the last few years that there has been a general recognition of the necessity for equipping the Negro—a realization that the two races must move forward side by side. A "share-croppers" have unfailingly leaving out of life everything that physical needs and furnishing nothing at all for the higher things, in not therefore, the sort of thing any one would cling to. If something better offered. The Negro has caught the vision of a different life. Naturally extremely gregarious and equally as strongly a "traveler" by disposition, it has not been hard for labor agents from industrial centers to round up entire train loads of Negroes and move them off to become factory hands, mill workers, or common laborers in construction work. One Effect in the South The most apparent result of this departure of the Negroes from the South has been a greatly increased appreciation of their part in the scheme of things in that region, which has resulted in better and fairer treatment in business, in a great movement for better schools and churches, and, where the Negroes work in cities, in better pay. It is hardly fair to say that the South did not begin-to awaken to its duty to its Negroes until it was forced to open its eyes by economic pressure, but it was natural that the situation should improve so far as racial relations are concerned when Negro labor became scarce: The exact relation between cause and effect in a situation of this kind is hard to get at. Here are two facts, though, that are suggestive. Mississippi, which shares with South Carolina the distinction of having a larger Negro population than white, actually lost population between 1910 and 1920, and to the Negro exodus may this change be traced. Mississippi is at present engaged upon the most ambitious program of education for the Negro in the South, and the improvement in its rural school facilities in the past five years has been little short of marvelous. Racial relations in the South generally are in better condition. It is said, than they have been since the days of slavery. There are many causes at work; enlightened leaders of both races are co-operating better now than they ever have. They are acquiring a real understanding of each other, and the white leaders are gaining a sympathy with the natural and just aspirations of the Negro which was conspicuously lacking until recently. Aside from these phases of the situation, the South faces an economic situation that is far more serious than is generally realized. Cotton is still king in the greater part of the South, no matter how much talk there is of diversified farming and scientific farm management with the staple as a side line. Prosperity rises or falls with cotton, and King Cotton is beest by the pestiferous boll weevil, nick-named with entire appropriateness "the billion-dollar bug." To make cotton under the handicap of the weevil, more labor is necessary, both for the rapid cultivation of the crop and for the activities against the pest itself. But there is not more labor. There is less. The trend is away from the cotton plantations to the cities of the South, as well as to the more distant centres. The Negro knows cotton farming, and in the past has been willing to put up with its severe conditions of long hours and hard work, together with its pitifully small returns. He has fitted in well with the semi-feudal organization of the great plantations, not so different from the days of slavery as one might imagine. Who Will Replace the Negro? When he goes, where is the South to find a satisfactory substitute? Interviews with a number of large cotton planters—intelligent, well-informed, and thoughtful men—revealed no answer. Half-hearted and futtle efforts to bring in other labor have been tried in the past, and in the Mississippi delta colonies of Italians once succeeded rather well. But they refused to remain tenant farmers. They wanted land of their own and their native thrift soop gave it to them. They became farm owners and unfortunately have not been absorbed into the native population with any great degree of success. Mexican labor has been given a brief and unsuccessful trial. The South is wedded to Negro labor and the divorce is going to be cataclysmic. It is obvious enough that eventually the great plantations must be cut up into small farms, that the production of cotton must be put upon an entirely new basis, that the present situation of a social organization made of a few land owners, and thousands of "renters," "share-croppers," and tenant farmers generally must be broken down. The man who is, in the old Anglo-Saxon saying, the land, and the land, must be brought together. At bottom the stability of the South's white rural population is little greater than that of the Negro, for it owes far too little land and lilye far too cramped and narrow an existence to remain if anything else offers. The Negroes are moving because the opportunity has come along, because they like to travel, about, because they are greater opportunities for Communities, and for their families, and because in the breasts of so many there is a ranking sense of the injustices to which they have been subjected for so many years. The whites have not felt the pull of all these influences, but they may. Little has been said of the Kuh Kuh Khan in this discussion of the forces behind of the enslavers of Mogadore, because despite the somewhat general belief to the country, the Kuh Kuh Mi Kuh friend, mongolian, has paid court attention to the Negro. If it is primarily an anti-Catholic fraternity and, remarkably, bitter about this religious Ship with the name of the South coast, the Caribbean, to choose a destination. It is Manhattan. Henry and there included of land had been the most wealthy. It has distinguished white men for all purposes, has apparently it has been little more than a sort of establishment district to the North Halls are calling the Negro to change his residence. An expression often heard in the South coastside the departure of the Negroes in "Let go on. The Tanka will find out what the Negro question is, and when they do, the Negroes will be glad to come back home." The presence of a large number of Negroes in the North may consequently bring a better understanding of the South's attitude to the race, but so far as any sort of racial trouble changing the present trend, it would take an optimistic cotton plaster indeed to put his crops in. until his hands had returned to him from East St. Louis, Omaha, Chicago, Pittsburgh or New York, because of a few riots or other unpleasant incidents. Once the Negro knows the superior advantages of industrial life over the meagre existence of a tenant on a cotton plantation he doesn't go back. He meets his handicaps in his new environment, of course, but he is human, and when he tastes better things he doesn't return to old ones. PROF. BENJ.A. OSBORNE GIVES NEW LIGHT TO SUSTAIN BIBLE TRUTHS PROF. BENJ.A. OSBORNE GIVES NEW LIGHT TO SUSTAIN BIBLE TRUTHS Says "Bible Is a, Book of the Human Body" There are always excuses for writing articles to newspapers. My reason for writing this one is on account of the many errors believed in by the world generally, and I am persuaded, by some serious private reflections on the subject, that I can to some extent correct these errors. I think the whole world has been mistaken on many important matters, which mistakes act very unfavorable to it and the happiness thereof. Some weeks ago Prof. Wm. Pickens published an article in the "Messenger" on "Things Nobody Believes," etc. That article is causing more comment and criticism from our Negro pulpits than the rapings and lynchings of the South. Truly theology is fixing its hold on the masses of men; its doctrines are being disregarded and disbelieved. Our free schools and colleges are not teaching the church dogmas, but on the contrary are educating their pupils in the useful facts of the sciences and tracing the immediate causes of the phenomena of nature, and applying such knowledge to the actual duties of life. Our young men are seldom sent to colleges to study for the ministry, but to increase themselves in all some useful occupation in life, and to become practical business men. While the above is true, does it seem wise that Pickens and Owen should denounce the Bible simply because they do not understand it and are suffering for want of proper knowledge? They say there is no location in the universe called hell. They are absolutely right. There is no such location. But to say a thing and to prove the same thing is totally different. And I must impress that the mere dental of hell does not solve the problem of the non-existence of hell. Now there comes the science of languages (philology), which in its investigations had to trace the origin of words and their meanings, which, with the aid of an X-ray on a live body, revealed the greatest mystery of the ages (the Bible, a book of the human body). This may seem amusing to some clergymen who believe the Bible to be a book of historical events. Nevertheless I am willing to address any body of ministers or laymen in any part of the United States on this most vital topic. Getting back to our discussion, let me explain briefly what the ancients meant by "lake of hell-fire and brimstone." The lower portion of the torso, howels, etc., is called "hell" a "gravo o. lake," many times in the Scriptures. Sulphur is a product of brimstone. There is more or less sulphur in all foodstuffs. Overcating results in an over supply of sulphur, i.e., brimstone. Overcating causes acidity. A portion of the food, failing to digest, ferments, and acid results. The acid uniting Hercules Hair Grower A wonderful Glamour and Grower all in one. Will GROW Hair when others fail. Will be a glamour handdruff and promote LUXURIOUS GROWER at HAIL.

BAILEY AND FAME the. ; : Pittsburgh, Pa. Moreh 28, 1223,. Please allow me space in your valuable paper to say a few words concerning the 280th Division of the U. N. I. A. and A. C.-L. of Winston-Salem, N. C. The metropolis of North Carolina Sunday, April 1, was a high day with this division. Being Easter, every one in the audience seemed to be imbu- ded with the spirit of the occasion. The house was called to order by the second vice-president, Rev. A. A. Jones. After the usual order of service by the chaplain the meeting was turned over to the second vice-president. President Rev. J. R. Miller was not so well, and was a little late in getting to the meeting. The Rev. Mr. Jones spent a few minutes explaining the objections and alms of the U. N. I. A. and A. C. L. and pointed out a number of outstanding reasons why every Negro should belong to the U. N. I. A. He told his hearers that every other plan under the sun was tried to give us the freedom that, other races enjoyed, and have found them to be a failure. More than six million of us are convinced that Mr. Garvey's plan is the only one that will spell absolute freedom for the Negro people of the world. The U. N. I. A. Band rendered a selection that u. t.喇led the audience. Hon. B. Jarret, ex- vice-president, was called on to make the principal address of the evening. The president, Rev. J. R. Miller, who was to deliver the address, was not present at that time on account of illness, but came in later. Mr. Jarret is a man of rare attainments, and a forceful speaker, eH is often, called a natural-born orator. His knowledge of ancient and modern history is marvelous. An 'outburst' of apology and hurries greeted him as he arose. Although he had not been notified, he proved himself equal to the task. As he is always informed as to the present events of the world, Mr. Jarret asked if the Program Committee had decided to have him speak on the occasions. He said, however, he had decided to say something for the U. N. I. A. every time an opportunity presented itself. He said as the world was celebrating the resuscitation of the lowly Nazarine, it meant nothing to Him. It meant it meant that his Negro should rise triumphantly overthing that keep him from enjoying the happiness and privileges that all other races enjoy, as well as to rise from the dead. He said, among other things, "When I think of the Negro being burned, burned and driven from' place to place, I think of the words of the Saviour when He said, the birds of the air have meats and the foxes, have holes, but the sun of man hath no where to lay his head. So it is with the Negro. You cannot help fix the price of your labor or have a voice in making the laws that govern you. Yet we host of our freedom and liberties. Stop boosting until you get a government of your own. --- BLACK CROSS AUXILIARY IN ANCON LOSES LOYAL OFFICER Mrs. Ida Cox, First Vice-President of Panama Division, Passes Away It is with deep regret that we report the death of Mrs. Ida Cox, first vice-president of the Ladies' Division of the U. N. L. A. & A. C. L. Panama City Division, No. 7. Mrs. Cox passed away on the night of February 11, 1923, and was buried on the following evening. She was one of the most ardent supporters of our division in that she worked independently, making every necessary sacrifice to further our progress. In short, the work of the U. N. L. A. had absorbed almost her entire time and interest. The members of our division and also those of Guachapalp Chapter No. 14 turned out in large numbers to pay their last respects to her, and all were pleased with the admirable manner in which the burial ceremonies were performed. We wish to extend our sincere sympathy to her bereaved family, sincerely hoping that some day we may meet again in paradise. ROSA BARTON. Secretary Black Cross Auxiliary. NOTES FROM EAST LIBERTY (PITTSBURGH PA.) DIV. 134 We, the members of East Liberty Division, have one more link broken in our chain. Death has taken from us a true, faithful, loyal member in the person of Brother Percy Bailey, who had been treasurer since 1921 and had held office since the division was organized in East Liberty. He lived in his community a life that was an example to all who knew him. He was one who loved his race and believed that it stood for something, believed that science should through the teachings of the Dr. J. A. Africa would be redeemed, his last hours would speak about all the race wanted being justice. Brother Bailey departed this life on March 8 at 10 p.m. He leaves to pursue his love a wife, who is also a loyal member and who has held office since the division was organized and ended. Brother Stuart president. He leaves to pursue a mother, four sisters, one brother and a host of friends. A FRIEND SANTIAGO DIVISION NO. 194 REDUCES ZND LIEUT. TO RANK OF PRIVATE Will the action taken by the Santiago Division of the U. N. I. A. become universal if not checked at once by the office of the Minister of Legion? To our knowledge the officers of the Santiago Division have not only violated the Constitutional laws of the U. N. I. A. & A. C. L., but have also violated the laws governing the U. A. Legion and the Universal military laws, even though we are a semi-military unit. 1. That article 10, section 1, of the rules and regulations of the Universal African Legion, on page 53, "Disciplinary Powers of Officers in Command," does not support this action in that it reads that the commanding officer of any attachment, etc., may, for minor offenses not denied by the accused, impose disciplinary punishment upon persons under his command without the intervention of a court-martial, unless accused demands trial by court-martial. 2. Section 2, of said article calls for admonition (gentle reproof), withholding of privileges, etc. We do not part in the entire article authorizing the president or any other officer of any local authorizing such actions. 3. Article 23, section 4, reads: "Any member subjected to discipline and control of the U. A. L. found guilty of "insolence and gross insubordination" shall be liable to a fine of Two Dollars ($2.00) in the case of a private: three dollars ($3.00) in the case of a non-commissioned officer, and four dollars ($4.00) in the case of a commissioned officer. We have, quoted the laws governing this procedure in order to be fair to all. In this case we find in no part of the various articles and sections quoted that supports the actions of the officers of the Santiago Division. The proper thing that should have been done would have been to fine the officer in question, according to the rules and regulations; or assume him, regardless until further notice, and if the officer felt not justified he would demand a trial by court-martial, and upon the decision of said court he would be punished accordingly. What offense can this be to cause the demotion of an officer to the rank of private? What virtue has been committed that caused this officer to be suspended for the period of one year from the association? Suppose an officer of the U. S. Army committed an offense, could they reduce him without a trial and also deprive him of his citizenship? Impossible. We will not go into further details, but this seems to be a question of personality, because, according to communication, this officer was requested to make an apology to the executive secretary in one of the meetings, he refused to do so; the charge is that he insulted the entire membership, why then should he apologize to the secretary instead of the membership proper? There was a proposed trial, but whether or not the officer was tried us a member of the local division or as an officer of the Legion we do not know, but this much we have been able to find out: that said officer was accused by the executive secretary, and, without evidence to support his statements, the first vice-president and presiding officer at the time demanded an apology. But why should this officer apologize to the executive secretary if the offense was committed against the Legion? This is so complicated that we can see nothing but personality. The officer was supposed to be tried, but was there an investigating committee appointed? This was not done, but the vice president and the executive secretary acted as prosecutors without defendant. Do these two gentlemen know that no person or officer shall be eligible to sit as a member of a general or special court when lie is the accuser or a witness for the prosecution? but that the commanding officer may be detailed simply as a member of the court, and then they seem not to know that the dismissal of an officer from the association can only be imposed when specifically authorized. I hope that the officer will himself prefer charges against those who have done him an injustice. The fact that he is under charges, does not disqualify him from preferring charges. We stand behind the officer in question until a fair and square deal is given him. We also hope that the office of the Minister of the Legion will take legal steps and stop any, other development of its kind, for we believe that in the next few months we will have the same coming: from many other divisions, and it may cause a great deal of disturbance. Founded upon the principle that God in His infinite goodness created all methods of men to dwell upon the face of the whole earth, the U. N. L. A. is a friendly, humanitarian, benevolent, non-sectarian, progressive, organization which believes in the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man and aims primarily at the complete and all-round progress and advancement of the Negro race the wide world over. The U. N. I. A. stands for the advancement of the Negro along educational, financial, political, industrial and every other line of human endeavor which makes for the growth and uplift of any people and the advancement and prosperity of any race, striving to bring him to a realization of the fact that he, too, has been created in the image and likeness of God and that therefore anything that other men in other races have done the Negro also can do. It aims to teach him race consciousness; that is, proper respect and valuation for himself and for all others of the Negro race, as well as for all things Negro, and more especially so for the women of his race, without whose rising and whose inspiration and whose spur to his imagination and his ambition, his or any other race will not be worth anything, anywhere, at any time. The U. N. I. A. stands for the instilling in the minds of the Negro, wherever he is found, the knowledge that he, has a lineage of which he may well be proud, bringing him to a conscious realization of the truth that there is nothing beyond, his reach, nothing too high for him to aspire to, nothing out of the reach of his power of attainment; no circumstance which he cannot eventually master, no condition which he will not in time be able to transform to suit his needs and to serve, his-will, if he will but depend on the God-given power of his mighty soul. It seeks to give him a new and lofty viewpoint, to quicken his imagination and clarify his vision, so that he will be able to have a thorough and complete understanding of the rich and wondrous endowments with which God has crowned him, so that he will step forth under God's universe with the call of inspiration ringing in his ears, with his body and his soul keyed up to the needs of the day and hour and to shape his course accordingly. Articles, detractors and the hasty ones, who are careless in the formation of judgment, on any man or movement, have grossly misrepresentation the great and noble organization, and its illustrious leader, Marcus Garvey; nevertheless it seems to gather greater force by being criticized, since these unjust attacks only help to bring the minds of many to study the organization in a careful and impartial manner, and the U. N. I. A. benefits by the scrutiny. The U. N. I. A. endorses to teach the Negro, not race hatred, as some of its villifiers so wantonly have declared, but to know himself, and to take a greater interest in the events which are taking place in the world around and which are—in one way or another affecting his destiny, and that of his children's children. The events now transpiring render it imperative that the Negro must save himself from the great catastrophe which is threatening the world, and those same events are indeed helping the Negro to realize the true worth and value of the Universal Negro Improvement Association to himself and to his race. And it is because of the interesting and enlightening awakening which has come to the people of the Negro race the wild world over, that the principles of the U. N. L. A. are taking so great a hold on their hearts and are bringing them into the fold in countless thousands everywhere. As an inspirer of men the U. N. L. A.

Its influence cannot be measured by the members within its ranks for its propaganda for uplift and enlightenment has influenced more minds than can be counted; and the days to come will show to mankind in its fullest form, the strength, the power and the far-reaching influence of the greatest organization which has ever been conceived in the mind of mere mortal man; for it goes without saying, that there is no single force or organization in the wide, wide world which influences, or tends to influence the destiny of so many lives of so many of the human race as does the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League. It is second only in its potent power in the lives of people, to the religion of Jesus Christ, beside which all manmade organizations pale into insignificance. This association desires and endeavors to teach the Negro to do his duty as a man, to love the world and its people, to honor his God, and see in all the human race the children of a common Father. It endeavors, also to show him the way to look the world in the face, and play a man's part to gird up his loins and prepare for anything that comes; for any encounter with any force which would seek to hold him back from the fullest expression of the God-given powers of body, mind and soul; and to irrevocably set his face, his mind and all his powers, potential and expressed, to the complete and all round emancipation of the race, and the redemption of the fatherland, Africa, than which there never can be nor has been any greater, any loftier, any more ennobling undertaking embarked upon by any man or any race of men since the world began. Incidentally, the destiny of Africans and Africa are inextricably bound up with the destiny of the U. N. I. A., and, notwithstanding all the seafous and thoughtless critics have cared and dared to utter in derision, Africa will be redeemed as surely as night follows despair, more, as surely as God said "Let there be light." If envious ones and scorners would pause long enough, in their emulations to realize that there in the fatherland, Africa, are more than two hundred and thirty millions of the people of the Negro race, who have always lifted up their blind against invasion and oppression, and also to understand that even in this twentieth century these people are in no way reconcilled to foreign domination; yea, more, that they are eagerly looking for the deliverence which all right thinking and forward looking Negroes believe is drawing night, they would change their attitude and, instead of using their puny and magnificent influence to try to block the fulfilment of what God Almighty has Himself decreed long. long. ago, would do all that lies in their power to aid it, even in a small way. They ought to remember that massacre as it is impossible for the puny forces of men to stop the hurricane in its onward sweep, and for mere criticism to prevent the convulsions of the earthquake, so it is also impossible to stop the onwardward, forward, upward march of the great race of Negroes, thoroughly awakened and fully determined, prepared to the hilt for the ushering in of the era when they shall dominate the lands of their fathers and live their lives in the way God and nature intended for them. With its propaganda of awakening and unification and upbring and inspiration, this U. N. L. A. is going to so fire the minds of the Negroes anywhere that in the fulness of time, with concerted action, they shall re-arm man and, with a tremendous effort, the like of which humanity has never known before, throw the invader and the parasitic peoples from the vitals of their fatherland and set up there a government that shall command the respect and admiration of the world. Africa must be free. Africa will be redeemed from the greedy, intruders who have ravished her daughters; slain, and otherwise up-treated her some and have despised her of her treasures. And this redemption of the fatherland will be done through the Negro himself, because of the lesson of courage and inspiration, of uplift, of determination, of progress; of unity and achievement which the Universal Negro Improvement Association is teaching the race the world over. Under the tutelage of the D. N. L. A. the Negro is not seeking to take from anybody, anywhere, that which they have spent their various forces to secure for themselves; but before God and all creation, we do solemnly declare that the land of our fathers will know no other government, no other domination, no other rule than the rule, the domination and the government of the Negro, for the Negro, by the Negro. We will not tight other men for what they have made, for what is fuelled by inheritance; but we do declare that not all the hells ever heated will deter us for the quest of freedom and the redemption of Africa. And when this spirit fully animates all the children of Ham everywhere, no force, no power on earth will keep us from the goal. Finally, the hands on the dial of time are pointing to the hour. The stage is being set for the greatest drama the world has ever known; and God knows, "We are ready." Like a powerful magnet drawing the steel to its all-embracing arms, the U. M. I. A. is drawing all Negroes to its fold, and "Victory is nigh." COMPLAINT DEPARTMENT Universal Negro Improvement Assn. NOTICE! NOTICE!! NOTICE!!!

Spotswood, Pastor of Varick Memorial A. M. E. Zion Church, Also Speaks NEW HAVEN, Conn. April 16.—On Sunday, April 8, 1865 members and friends of the New Haven Division were enthused with two masterly addresses which were delivered by two distinguished men—the Rev. S. Spotswood, pastor of the Varick Memorial A. M. E. Zion Church of this city, and Sir Wm. H. Ferris, K. C. O. N., literary editor of the Negro World. The meeting opened at 3.30 p. m. by President Syd Murray. After the opening ode, "From Greenland's Icy Mountains," and opening prayer, the following program was rendered: Solo, Mr. Saudera; duel, Miss Jones and Miss Saudera; selection, planit. The secretary then read the weekly message of the President-General. The president then explained the aims and objects of the association. Rev. Scottawood was then introduced. His subject was, "Factors and Programs of the Race." He emphasized racial cooperation and proved most logically that the common ills of one are the common ills of all regardless of economic progress. Sir Wm. H. Ferrell then spoke from the subject, "The Industrial, Economic and Political Problems of the Negro." We need, not comment on Sir William's address, for every one knows his high standing in the U. N. I. A. In conclusion we wish to convey to the doubting Thomases that the U. N. I. A. is the only salvation for the Negro, and for this reason the members of the New Haven Division are endeavoring to gain the objective regardless of consequences. REPORTER. NEW ABERDEEN-DIVISION CELEBRATES EASTER DAY Ember Day was celebrated by the New Aberdeen Division by the staging of a concert, and inviting New Waterford chapter choir to participate in care to make the occasion a success. They responded loyalty to the cause, bringing with them several members from said chapter; also New Aberdeen members corresponded courageously to the colors, packing our small Liberty HQ. The chairman for the evening was our deputy from the Third International Convention, Mr. Alphonse Small, who offered masterly, directing the concert from start to finish like some old trustworthy sea captain bringing his treasure-laden ship safely into port. The members of the New Aberdeen Division and New Waterford chapter had lobbied courageously behind their choreographer, in the presence of Brother George Estunak, choreogist for New Aberdeen Division, and F. Nichols, choreographer for New Waterford choir. IF U DON'T C CONSULT DR.

We are face to face with a social and economic condition that requires urgent careful attention. Most of our leaders with the exception of the Hon. Morrison Garvey, are giving little or no attention to the social and economic problems of the race in New York City, which, as the weeks and months go by, become more alarming and threatening; yet, despite this fact, few, if any, of our so-called leaders are giving any time or thought to these appalling conditions which are stifling the very life of our people; not only in New York, but throughout the country, so that the struggle for existence in fast developing into that of the survival of the atttest. Today we are living in an age when the Negro rusd decide to live or die! Now, what do I mean by this? There is a certain class of colored men here in New York City, right here in Harlem, and elsewhere, who will read this very statement and laugh at it, and say to his simple minded friend, 'This follow is crazy; what is he talking about?' Perhaps the conditions under which our people live do not affect this particular case, who think more of today than of tomorrow, more of the dance hall and a good time than of their own future or the possibility of the race and the danger now confronting it, which, as far as they are concerned, are absolutely out of the question. The minds of most of young colored men in Harlem, who become quite ashamed when they are called Negroes, are absorbed in conventionalism and nothingness—most of our New York young college men think at the present only of sport and a good time; women. They are contrary to everything which seriously affects the race, and the most sad thing about this mental condition is when you realize that these young college men are the ones we must look to with hope, as the future leaders of our race. The Anglo-Saxon have them thinking just the way they want them to, for without far-sighted leaders and responsible men of the race to lead in the proper direction, they know we are lost, and that is why they are trying to dupe the minds of our young men. Whatsoever I mean by my words, this must rest on the thoughtful mine; but which may not be able to grasp fully its true significance. It means that the race will suffer an awful disaster if we who live today do not bestir ourselves, and hearken unto the voice of God, who speaks and directs through His great instrument, Marcus, whom He has carefully selected to lead His people. All you colored gentlemen on the avenue, in the swell cafes, restaurants and barber shops, in your great, real estate offices and elsewhere, remember that your people are inwardly crying to you. You can not afford to ignore this cry and ever hope, to enjoy with any measure of satisfaction the benefit of your little success which was made possible by this same tolling mass. You might as well understand now, and for all time, that unless you have immorally decided to destroy the Negro blood in you, with the hope that in another half century your children will be so light that they will be able to associate with the sons of the pale enemies, your future, and especially that of your children, is bound up in the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. This you might as well understand, and whatever your attention you will not be able to get away from it, so I would advise you now to do your little bit, and help the Universal Negro Improvement Association to put this great program over, in whose economic and political MADAM IDA B.

Address: MADAM IDA B. JEFFERSON BROOK NB LONGVIEW, TEX. environment works, the ultimate solution to the problem of the Negro poor. They must believe in virtue of virtue in the industrial and economic development, in the terms of a material establishment, found upon a fundamental governmental system that must be moved and established in the continent of Africa, our motherland, which should be strong enough as will have been able to protect the Negroes of the world wherever they might find themselves, and especially bring pressure to bear upon the policy and the attitude, of this government, that will eventually force that pale race of man, called the white man, of this country and elsewhere, to change his attitude toward the darker races of the world or perish from the earth in due course of time. I am asking to all the people. You should realize by this time who mean you the most good as a leader. It is absolutely in our time to erect great monuments here and having practically nothing with which to protect them. But you can help to make the living and political condition better by united efforts. The time has arrived that we must unite to strike the decisive blow for the complete physical freedom and emancipation of our race everywhere, and we can only successfully strike this great blow in Africa. It is only by our success in this universal attempt that the Negro race and the interests of the people will be in the future protected the world over. There are Negroes who are saying now that they do not lose anything in Africa. These tender-foot ignorances we do not ask to go anywhere; for they would live longer here. These Negroes, who are mostly found in New York and elsewhere, of such an opinion are only fooling themselves. Don't fool yourselves, brothers. Sooner or later somebody is going to carry you there; and, believes me, when this somebody is ready that you must move you're going to lose everything in Africa. And it is rather, surprising to know that some of these very Negroes have families and children coming after them. What kind of man can they be, in the name of God, what can they be thinking about? They say that they do not want or care to have anything to do with Marcus Garvey, who represents the only thing, namely, the Universal Negro Improvement Association, that will give protection to their children long after they themselves have spent their days and have passed into oblivion perhaps leaving their families and their children in someinement house. They own or control nothing in the great country; yet they will tell you that this is their country. How can any race group claim a country when that race group owns or controls practically nothing in that country of worth? But they say:) This is my country: If a Negro can not see that the white man is determined to make this country what he has always contended that it is, and do not try, at least, to make Africa a Blackman's country, where his children will have a chance—because it is only a matter of time that after he is dead, or perhaps before that time, when his children grow up, they will have to move somewhere. This will be only a matter of time, and mark what I tell you, do not fool yourselves in this country, if you do not move later, a little later, after you are dead your children will have to move against their will. We are not guessing about this thing, and that is why Marcus Garvey is warning the mothers and the fathers of the black race of today. Every Negro should take heed! The Negro who will not heed this serious warning ought not to live! In my next article I shall treat upon the social condition of the pacifists I found it in New York. In Brooklyn and in New Jersey, I must that the better class of our people, who are better financially, financially and economically situated, will heed these suggestions, and when I have said, and will endeavor to set forth in this series, because a great economic disaster, an industrial ralation, and political calamity forces, as a disunified people, a small group can not live in luxury and case, thoughtless of the future of their race because the present happen to be well with them, while at the same time the great suffering masses faced extermination and destruction by means of a political economical and industrial pressure, which is brought about by the white man. THE LIFE OF MARY JACKSON What do I mean, therefore, when I say that all large number of the race are claimed? They have not observed, with undeniable and unanimous an awful desire on the part of a large number of our beautiful girls and a tendency to absolute harammen, and not a morphological transformation, but a physical one. Their feeling for the men of the race does not extend beyond the value of a dollar, while they will give their love to men of the opposite race for vanity, just for romance. Oh! there is no love; they have lost their affection for their men. What a sad thing. Sublime virtue is wasted in a life and practice that give absolutely nothing in return. A large number are dissatisfied with themselves, their color and their race, and are losing all of their time in an effort to transform themselves, which they hope will ultimately destroy their kithiopian identity and result in a half-bred-caste, which can never survive as a race. Hence is the destruction of the Negro sealed! They treat our young men with a peculiar contempt, where they come into contact with white men. What a pity that the high moral of our beautiful skin should have sunk so low as this. They humiliate the men of their own race, who make a desperate effort to win them; and because of this indifference some of the young men have become discouraged, and turn their attention from the race, and they oppose everything racial—others actually enslave themselves in order to make them comfortable and win their affection. Some of the older women of the race are doing much to facilitate the plans of the white man that aim at the destruction of the Negro race. They have a way of discouraging the young girls and endeavor to fill the places of the men—for most of them prefer that they make maldens. The story is going to be told now as it is found, and the condition must be attacked! For if this condition continues and this immoral practice of some of our women and men keeps up there can be no salvation for this race of ours in this Western world. There is a careful and secret propaganda which is instigated by members of the opposite race that is being carried, on among our girls, especially by some of our women, to discourage natural intercourse with the young people; a way they have of splitting the affection of the girls and the young men of the race. This will, if not stopped, aid in the well set plan of race extinction within a given period of time. We, however, trust and rely upon the integrity and virtue of our larger womanhood and girlhood to save our race from such a plight. Never in all human history has a race faced such an ultimate as the Negro race today; and there is nothing that will ever be able to save us except the successful carrying out of the plans of the Universal Negro Improvement Association.

Address: $500 REWARD IF I FAIL TO GROW HAIR A ROYAL CHEMICAL CO. JAMAICA, N.Y. MOTION RULK BAD FOR BLACK PEOPLE West Indians Allowed to Starve in Cuha During Financial Crisis By JOSEPH A. TODD MORON, Province - Cam., Cuba, April 31. In the issue of March 31 I noticed an article reproduced from a newspaper printed in London, England, under the caption "Nigger Problem Brought to London." Those who read this paper, the Negro World, need no further reproduction, and those who do not read it are entirely disinterested. I hope that every Negro, especially those who live under British rule, have seen this article. It proves my contention from time to time that British rule is not the best for us, as some of us think. I proved this in the year 1919. I was at that time quite young, just about 19 years old. I had served practically three years' apprenticeship in plumbing in the island of Barbados, where I was born. In 1918 and 1919 I noticed that all the small sugar estates were being abandoned, and the larger ones enlarged and turned into factories. And gradually the need for plumbers was decreasing. I began, to think what was the reason, but did not find out until I left there in the said year 1919 and went to the Isthmus of Panama, and understand that it was the crowding out of our sugar product in the British markets by the acceptance of German best root sugar. This did not cripple the plumber only, but it crippled the entire economic condition of the West Indies. Furthermore, in Panama many petitions were made to the British ministers, and few, if any, was paid attention to. Again, here in Cuba, I am acquainted with many cases that have gone before the British ministers, and none have resulted in any accomplishment. Another thought: In the latter part of, 1929-1921, when the financial disaster invaded Cuba, the press heralded the catastrophe, individuals wrote their relatives, and yet the governments of these islands permitted the natives to be contracted to Cuba to be herded among those that were already between the devil and the deep sea. Some time in 1921 men were contracted from Barbados to some part of the Oriente, Cuba, and turned loose a little worse than cattle, without food or equipment, and no shelter. I am inclined to think that these things are permitted with the direct intent to economically annihilate the Negro.

Mr. I appeal to you and the rest of the Negro people who have at heart the salvation of South Africa and Africa as a whole. We have experienced this question: In it for the best interest of our race that students at various foreign schools should fail to return to Africa after they finish their schooling. Is it a hope that we will ever redeem Africa that these men and women are enticed by the stage of living, societies and other attractions which may be pleasant to their individual capacities and not for their race in general? Will there be a chance of raising any country or nation if these young men and women find it their duty to cease or remain in America, Europe or Asia to bring education, progress, civilization; to a country which it does not possess? I make these few remarks to draw the attention of all those who have come in contact with hundreds of Africans who considered it the part of wisdom to remain in other countries in spite of the fact that there are many positions that they might fill for their own. I trust that you will take this matter up and elaborate on it. If perfect freedom could be made an actuality in this country, observed by every one, it would no doubt create a desire on the part of men and women of our race living in other countries to return to their homeland and devote their time and energy to uplifting the natives of this country. There are many young men an women who leave this country to obtain an education abroad and who fall to return. This is not as it should be: So, Mr. Editor, will you kindly use your best talents in placing before all Africans the advantages of returning to the land of their ancestors and attempt to make a reality of the program you are advocating? I hope you will see your way to assist us. A LETTER FROM A MAN WHO SPENT ONLY NINE MONTHS IN SCHOOL Editor, of the Negro World—Dear Sir: I desire a space in your paper for a letter to The World written by an uneducated man, who only went to school nine months in his life and was born in Alabama. The fate of this world hangs on one binge, which is justice to all mankind whom our great Creator made. Justice must be done to all, regardless of color or creed; the white man knows justice, but he would rather die than give justice to the world. Why not tell the truth and live and save millions of souls or why should you keep the world in darkness and cause millions of souls to be lost. This world for day is in the white man's hands; why not tell the truth and live, or why should you live and die. The world will be saved only by the truth, which is Almighty God—the people of the world desire the truth; kings, presidents, and great rulers of the world will never have peace on the poor. To have peace of mind is but the one door open, and that is right, but every country have a misunderstanding conference, such one of the members know that he has been born of God. Let this conference be called anywhere so long as the members of this conference know they love of God, which is the second death to the world. In the second occasion you will find the key of wisdom, which is the true religion whereby God has made men are equal. Pass the Creator and the father of all mankind; in Me you will find wisdom and knowledge. Through your obedience you will be master of the world; no white people, wake up and give justice to the world. If you don't He will. T. J. YOUNG. 1404 N. 23rd St. Philadelphia, Pa.
