THE "BUNK" OF ROBERT CECIL, SPOKESMAN OF THE SELF-SATISFIED GROUP
FELLOW MEN OF THE NEGRO RACE, Greeting:
Once more it becomes my duty as President- General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association to sound a warning note to the scattered members of my race on world situation as it affects us as a struggling people.
ROBERT CECIL AND HIS "BUNK"
Lord Robert Cecil, one of the spokesmen of Great Britain, is now in the United States of America endeavoring to stir up American sentiment in favor of joining the League of Nations. In a speech in Richmond a couple of days ago, Cecil said, among other things, that "it was necessary for America to be in the League for assisting in protecting the future peace of the world." Cecil believes, like all other English statesmen, that civilization has reached such a stage when there should be no more wars, in that all humanity is satisfied with existing conditions, as, for instance, that the Indians are satisfied with the rule of England, and the native tribes of Africa are satis-
European powers, that all weak peoples are satisfied to be robbed, exploited and brutalized by the strong; therefore, there is need for peace and a permanent settlement of things just as they are.
CAN THERE BE PEACE?
Cecil is crazy like the rest of his countrymen. If they believe that they are going to have peace through the league or no league, by clubbing together to settle world affairs just as they are—the big Caucasian nations holding domination and sway, exercising it without mercy upon the weaker, darker races, then they have a peculiar notion really of human nature and of the spirit of the age in which we really live. If Cecil, if England, if France, Japan, and even America, want a League of Nations, they must also include in it the adjustment of all racial differences. And in this adjustment they must not think that they can do things to satisfy Irishmen, Egyptians, Indians, Jews, Poles and the rest of the white races of Europe without taking into consideration the four hundred million Negroes who are as determined to have liberty, freedom and true democracy as any other race in the world. We want these nations and men to understand that the Negro is no longer the "laughing coon" such as he was a quarter of a century ago; that he is today a serious-minded man, determined that he shall carve a way to his own future happiness and that of his race.
CONSIDERING ONLY THEMSELVES
The thing that startles and surprises me is that when these statesmen speak they seem to take into consideration only themselves, believing that the world starts and ends with them yet they appeal for peace, for justice, for equality-not realizing that Negroes have souls, pas-
THE BIG NATIONS HAVE ALL THEY WANT LET US HAVE PEACE?
WHAT ABOUT THE OTHER FELLOW WHO IS DOWN!
HE IS GOING TO RAISE H——UNTIL·HE IS UP
400,000,000 NEGROES MUST BE FREE AND AFRICA REDEEMED-THEN PEACE, PERFECT PEACE
sions, desires and ambitions like the rest of the human family.
CHANGE LINE OF TALK
If Cecil will take my advice he will change his line of talk and his manner of consideration and let his nation know that there is not going to be any peace until justice is given to all mankind.
MILLIONS OF NEGROES READY
Four hundred million Negroes are as ready now to die for their freedom as two millions of them were ready to die on the battle plains of France and Flanders for the bestowing of democracy upon the races of mankind. The English, past masters as they are in democracy and trickery, must realize that Negroes have found them out in their game, and that they are not the only ones who can play it successfully.
THE MISTAKE OF ENGLISHMEN
Englishmen make a terrible mistake if they think that African and West Indian Negroes are going to work to further enrich their empire for them to laud it over them in the colonies as if they were a superior creation.
THE BETTER SENSE OF AMERICA
America has better sense than to allow herself to be hoodwinked and drawn into the League of Nations, because she knows she can no longer fool fifteen million Negroes in this country. The League of Nations means nothing to oppressed peoples such as Negroes, because it is only engineered for the purpose of strong groups of exploiters and robbers getting together to hold the spoils that they have gathered. England hopes to hold her American colonies by the assistance of America. France hopes to hold her colonies also with the assistance of the other members of the League, but everybody is going to have a hard and hot time because, indeed, there is "going to be a hot time in the old African town" by and by. Black men have blood like all other folks, and they are going to make up their minds to shed it, if need be, for the freedom of their country, Africa.
NO LAUGHING QUESTION
It is no use laughing over this question, no use passing it over; it must be tackled and handled now. It is well that
we let Cecil know; it is well we make the British Empire know; it is well we make the great colonizing exploiters of Africa know it. France ought to get sensible in realizing that her African colonists are not always going to be second rate men within the French Empire; Britain ought to know that she can no longer suppress the rising ambition of the black men of her dominion; America must realize that, outnumbered as Negroes are within the country, they have become dissatisfied and will find an outlet for their energies and abilities politically, industrially and otherwise, and there is no more logical a place than Africa, in that whether we be American, West Indian or South or Central American Negroes, we claim the common parentage of the great country of Africa. It is the land of our forefathers, and now that it has become attractive for other races, surely it must concern us even more than ever. We shall see to it by our man power, by our higher abilities and by our very blood that Africa be not exploited for much longer by the alien races and nations. Let us link hands and hearts where soever we are and make up our minds that we shall see the job through—the redemption of Africa. All that it needs is determination on our part. Do not let the other fellow bluff you by saying it is impossible. It was not impossible for George Washington to free America and make it the greatest republic; it was not impossible for the Russian Revolutionists to have destroyed the influence and power of the Czar and built up a social democracy, the first of its kind
Modern civilization. At these things were not impossible for others, surely it is possible for four hundred million Negroes to get together and build up a great African commonwealth which will render protection to the race whereoever we happen to find ourselves in the years to come. We will not all go to Africa; we do not all of us want to go there, but all of us need the power and strength of an African nationality to protect us in our separate and distinct homes. Let us have a great army and a great navy attached to our great nation, and the whole world will respect the black man and no longer look upon him as an inferior being.
LET US BUILD FOR OURSELVES
Let us build up ourselves commercially, industrially and educationally. Let us give to the world a new civilization; let us build up a culture of our own, and then the whole world will fall down in appreciation and respect before the black man.
TIME FOR ACTION
This is the hour for action, and I call upon the four hundred million Negroes to act now, or never. The rallying cry must be action, action, action. Let no Robert Cecil or Balfour of England; Briand or Clemenceau of France; Mussolini or Sonnino of Italy; let no Bryan or Wilson of America direct you in any other channel but that of human liberty, that of the emancipation of four hundred million black souls, that of the redemption of our own country. Africa.
HELP U. N. I. A.
And now is the time for you to help the Organization to put over this big program. The Universal Negro Improvement Association needs now, more than ever, the financial backing of every true patriot of the race, so I ask that you do by this association as the Jews have done by the Zionist movement, as the Sinn Feiners have done by the great Irish movement. Send in your donation to the Secretary-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, 56 West 135th Street, New York City. Let it be $1, $2, $5, $19, $50, $100; whatsoever you can. Do it now. Now is the time to help spread the propaganda of the association to the four corners of the globe.
With very best wishes, I have the honor to be. Your obedient servant
P. S. Again I have to beseech all the members, officers, Chapters, Branches and Divisions of the Universal Negro Improvement Association to make every possible effort to keep in financial relationship with the Parent Body. Members should pay in their dues and assessments to their Local Divisions or Chapters, and they in turn should make immediate report to the Parent Body, so as to enable us to continue the good work in the interest of the race. Every member's duty at this time should be to keep behind the association financially. See that your Local Division supports the Parent Body, so that there can be no difficulty in putting over the big program that confronts us for 1923.

Five Years the Spirit of the U. N. I.

ARVEY SAYS U. N. I. A. IS AN IMMORTAL SPIRITUAL FORCE THAT NO HUMAN FORCE CAN STOP—LEADERS MAY BE REMOVED FROM SCENE OF ACTION, BUT WORK WILL GO ON WITH INCREASING FORCE AND POWER—THOSE WHO OPPOSE IT HAVE MISINTERPRETED THE SPIRIT OF MOVEMENT
Europe's Talk About Peace Is in Vain Until Negroes Receive Justice From Others—Hon. Verhal Williams Likens U. N. I. A. to Mighty Life Belt That Forever Holds Its Position Above the Dashing Waves and Weather's the Storm Merale of Membership at a High Standard—Large Contributions Given and Great Enthusiasm Manifested
ABBERT HALL New York, Sunday Night, April 23. The morals or the membership of the Universal Negro Improvement Association rematates at a high standard notwithstanding the opposing influences that are persistently at work to undermine and weaken it. This fact was indisputably demonstrated tonight by the unusually large attendance, the liberal contributions that were made for carrying on the work and the enthusiastic applause which greeted the remarks of the speakers as they expressed themselves in terms of optimism of the part the association is playing in revolutionizing a universal sentiment in favor of the Negro people throughout the world.
in creating that spirit of unity and cooperation among Negroes which has hitherto been a negligible quantity, and in fostering a desire to make a nation of themselves with a governmental status on the continent of Africa. This new spirit, according to Hen. Marcus Garvey, is being shown not only by the Negroes of the western world but has taken hold of the Africans themselves and is now dominating them. Tonight, said Mr. Garvey, Africa stands one great organizational contigent, one great organized section for the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Our work in Africa as half dogs, and if half has been completed in five years, give us ten years more and we will sweep Africa, and will sweep the world with an accomplishment that will go down the ages as the greatest accomplishment of man. This new spirit that the Negro is dis
is occupying more of the time, and attention of the great nations and governments of the world than all these has happened within the last five years. The question, said Mr. Garvey, that is puzzling the minds of the statesmen of Europe is what the U. N. L. a, backed by four million Negroes, is going to do. The Universal Negro Improvement Association, said Mr. Garvey, is an immortal spiritual force that no human force can stop, and whether or not its leader or any of its leaders be removed from the scene of action, the work will be carried forward with increasing force and power until its destiny has been achieved.
The other speaker of the evening was Hon. Vernal J. Williams, who in a brief, well-ground speech said that despite the social burden, the political obstacles and the governmental opposition that have pressured the past, the U. N. L. a, good like a mighty officer that forever holds its position above the damning waves and weighed the storm.
HON. VERNAL WILLIAMS SPEAKS
Ion. Vernal d. Williams spoke and followed. In the match of human events, in the match of things historical, there always comes a period when organized world powers, when organized nation, when organized peoples are brought face to face with situations and circumstances that serve as touchstones of progress. Without these touchstones, without these instruments of measurement there is no means of gauging the progress of humanity. That truth which is applicable to politically organized powers and institutions are in like measure applicable to similar organized bodies. The Universal Negro improvement Association is not beyond the pale of this rule. If it were that we were different beyond the pale of this rule of measurement of our progress it would
be indeed impossible to tell tonight where stands the Universal Negro Improvement Association in its march for world standing, for world pre-eminence, for world predominance.
U. N. I. A. Still Weathering the Storm
The tombstones that we have made on the pathway of progress are indeed legion. The social barriers, the political obstacles, the industrial crisis that have been in our pathway, the governmental opposition that have pressured the past, they have come in mighty numbers, they have come with tremendous force and yet, like the mighty life bolts that forever holds its position above the dashing waves, we are still weathering the storm.
What Is the Meaning of It All?
What does this magnificent assemblage mean? What does this tremendous congregation of the faithful mean? It means that instead of those forces—all those external and violent forces coupled with those internal forces that have been used as battering rams against progress of this association, the people still stand a hundred per cent, determined to carry on the mighty struggle and the mighty tusk. There is still only one question and I have always felt this from the very beginning; it is not a question of whether we are going to raise industrial institutions; it is not a question now whether we are going to stretch our hand percess the seven seas in a mighty commercial power; it is not a question now whether or not we are going to be a power in the geo-
tion, the question at stake is this: Whether after all our struggles and privations and hardships, black men of this generation are going to build a political and a governmental foundation for black men and black women in the future to build a mighty government upon. The question of Africa is no longer the concern of black people from a governmental standpoint. In the past the white nations used Africa for its commercial wealth, its economic value. The Universal Negro Improvement Association began to view Africa not only from its economic usefulness, but as a pregnant cow on whichever build a mighty government for black people. Today, my friends, the white powers of the world no longer view Africa in its economic light; they, too, view it as a political reservoir that may repleinish the political strength of Europe and the Western World. Africa's position no longer is measured merely in terms of economics, it is measured in terms also of politics and, that is why our fight is increasing; that is why these mighty touchestones by which we gauge our progress are becoming harder and harder every day because black men and women for Africa politically. White men have added to their program in Africa also a political program. The race, however, is not for those who hold and own mighty battlehips and dead-caughts; the race is not for those whose white flying machines are piercing the mighty measures' fortune; the race is not today for those whose mighty camps can pierce the barrier of space and distance; the race, the victory, the palm, the laurel wreath is in the grasp of those who hold the touch of righteousness in their hands. (Africasep.)
HON. MARCUS GARVEY SPEAKS
Mr. Garvey said: I have stopped off on the midst of a tour to say a few words to you tonight. I speak the greater part of last week in the State of Virginia. In a few minutes I will leave for the State of Ohio to speak tomorrow night in the city of Youngtown.
Spirit of the U. N. L. A. Misinterpreted
I want to say tonight that those who fight the Universal Negro Improvement Association miscalculate the strength of this movement, misinterprets the spirit of the New Negro. The spirit of the Universal Negro Improvement Association cannot be broken notwithstanding the legions of hell, and at this time the legions of hell are lined up against the Universal Negro Improvement Association, but
THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, APRIL 28, 1923
with the banner of righteousness we shall march on, defeating the foe at every stop. (Applause.) You in New York do not really know and see the strength and enthusiasm of this movement. Those of us who go out to the outposts of the association came in contact with that devotional enthusiasm and loyalty that are incomparable. No such enthusiasm, no such loyalty and devotion to a cause has ever been seen before. In places, where men once hold themselves in fear and trembling, such as in the southern sections of this country and in places such as in the homeland, Africa, we find even the youth of the race standing up with a vigor, with a courage and with a determination never yet known to man. Day by day we gather evidence of the new spirit of loyalty and devotion to race. The new spirit of manhood that has possessed the race from all corners of the world. Africa Organized for the U. N. I. A.
Tonight Africa stands one great organized continent; one great organized section for the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Our work in Africa is half done. (Applause.) If half has been completed in five years, give us ten years more and we will sweep Africa—we will sweep the world with an accomplishment that will go down the ages as the greatest accomplishment of man. Take it from me, that you who make up the Universal Negro Improvement Association are occupying more of the time and attention of the great nations and governments of the world than all that has happened within the last five years. It is not so much the Indomity of Germany; it is not so much what Germany will do in the future; the question that is puzzling the minds of the statesmen of Europe is what the Universal Negro Improvement Association backed by the four hundred million Negroes of the world is going to do. (Applause.) This (what is occupying the attention of Europe at this time, and that is responsible for the opposition that is being fostered against this movement internally and externally. They have resorted to all kinds of subterfuges to undermine the strength and influence of the Universal Negro Improvement Association; but the more they strike the greater grows, this great cause; the greater this great cause scatter itself around the world.
Making a History
The Universal Negro Improvement Association is making a history that will have forever, and those who oppose the Universal Negro Improvement Association are only writing their names down in the book of doom. Some think that the Universal Negro Improvement Association starts and ends with Marcus Garvey; but Marcus Garvey is not an advocate of the cause of this great race of ours. Long after Marcus Garvey will have passed from this scene of action, the cause of the Universal Negro Improvement Association will be marching on with men of even more vigor than Marcus Garvey. (Applause.)
So those who oppose the Universal Negro Improvement Association do not seem to realize that they are not opposing a human force; they are opposing a spiritual force that cannot be stopped. (Applause.) As they tried to oppose the religion of Christ by nailing Christ to the cross, but failed in that after the death of Christ, but religion came down the ages stronger and stronger guttal in the twelfth century it is the greatest physical and moral force of the world, so in the death of one leader of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, the work of the Universal Negro Improvement Association will be carried forward with stronger force and power.

ready. (Applicance.) We have gotten Adrian so and that England had to send Lord Robert Cecil in the disguise of talking for the League of Nations to find out about the strength of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Lord Robert Cecil spoke in the city of Richmond, when I spoke. He spoke to a crowd of white folks and I spoke to a crowd of black and white folks. He told his people that he represents a nation that wanted peace and that he was desirous as spokesman of his nation to lay before the responsibilities of America going into the League of Nations because we could only have a future peace by all the nations of the world linking themselves together in one great league, to be known as the League of Nations, and after that combination we will have peace. Cecil is only purifying the argument of the old line British or European stateman. Every time a robber gets what he wants he is satisfied to stop stealing, and then he plans how to steal again. The stateman of Europe for centuries have plotted and planned to rob and exploit the weaker and defenseless nations of the world, and after England, Prince, Italy and Spain spent centuries in doing that they have now decided that they will no longer want to rob; they now want peace, and to secure that peace they propose to form themselves into one big league so that they will fight together. But Lord Cecil does not realize that there is not going to be any peace in the world, until 400,000,000 Negroes have had their rights and have received justice from the hands of other races and nations.
The new Negro has made up his mind to die rather than allow other people to rob him of his habitual morality and financially. The Universal Negro Improvement Association represents the feeling of the twentieth century Negro. England and France and Italy and Spain have gone into Africa and robbed her gold mines and diamond mines and iron mines, and they are crazy if they think that 400,000,000 black men are going to sit down and fold their arms and allow 50,000,000 from Europe and this Western world to rob us of our rights, to rob us of our habitat. If Africa is good for the Italian, if it is good for the Spanish and the Italian and the Frenchman, then it is good for the black man, and we are going to fight for it or die. (Applause.)
What is the question. It is an economic question. The one desire of Europe in pushing to Africa today is for the material aggronement that will come out of it. The exploitation of Africa will give rehabilitation to Europe at the expense of the black peoples' of the world. The Universal Negro Improvement Association has taken a decided stand and we, therefore, are determined to fight even to hell's door. We say it without fear, we say it without trembling, and we say it because we mean it with every ounce of blood, for in the words of Patrick Henry we say: "We care not what others may say as for us, give us liberty or give us death." Let them undermine the Universal Negro Improvement Association as they may; let them spread their propaganda from section of the country, from section to section of the world, the Universal Negro Improvement Association shall continue to gather the souls of black men together until we shall unite them the world over and unitedly 400,000,000 of us shall march under the standard of the Red, the Black and the Green to free our motherland Africa. (Applause.) I must say good night and will turn the meeting over to the Third Vice-president, Lady Henrietta Vinton Dayles. (Applause.)

Judge Gary Requested to Americans to Sup
WASHINGTON. D. C. April 23—Dr. Emmett J. Scott, secretary-treasurer of Howard University, an institution specializing in the training of Nebrro youth here at the national capital, today sent the following telegram to the Hen. E. H. Gary, chairman of the Board of Directors of the United States Steel Corporation: "Washington, D. C. April 27, 1923. Hen. Eilbert H. Gary, chairman of Directors, United States Steel Corporation."
"I have read with interest your statement reported in Associated Press dispatches this morning deploring alleged shortages of labor due principally to present immigration laws. You are reported to have said that 'there is a great abundance of labor on the other side of the world that would be glad to come here and develop our American resources.' May I venture to say that there are in this country today twelve million colored people. Eight million of these twelve million are in the South. They are citizens of the American republic. They are tied to a one-crop system and opposed by economic conditions that under and prevent their failure development and enjoyment of the highest American citizenship. They possess strong bodies and have a real patriotic attachment to American institutions. They are in position to supply the labor shortage to which you refer. Plants are unstaken on a large and important scale to transfer them to the centers where their services are needed. It seems unnecessary to look to foreign shores to supply any labor shortage that may exist in American industries when there is this large and sympathetic group within reach. These colored Americans are not aliens; they have never sought to disrupt the government nor do they harbor hoisineastic or inhumane ideal. They are ready and willing to help develop the resources of their country. Will it not be possible for one circumstance as you are to lend the weight of your great influence in opening larger economic opportunities for this group who are struggling under adverse conditions in the rural districts of the far South, where lynching and peacage are practiced upon them with

campaign being waged by the League for the Right of Men. Premier Poincare announces that a couple of French warships have been sent on a cruise of the shores of Samollland, which is said to be one of the chief centers of the traffic, while the French Minister at Addis Abeba has urged the Prince Regent of Ethiopia to enforce very strictly the laws against slavery.
A number of slave dealers have already been caught and hanged.
Slave markets, it is alleged, are hold openly at Djeddah and Mecca, to furnish which the coasts of Samollland and the Sultanate of Tadjourah are secured by Aristotle and Levantine merchants, who even push on as far as Darfour, near the Abyssinian frontier, and to the boundaries of Anglo-Egyptian Soudan in search of the chony beauties for which the latter region is reputed.
The British Government comes in for considerable blame for the existence of the slave trade, because a large number of slave dealers come from Zanzibar, a British protectorate. Moreover, Arabia, which is also under the protection of Britain, constitutes one of the most lucrative markets for the human merchandise, bought and sold by the Zanzibarites.
It is even stated that the Sultan Hussain, Britain's protege, collects a fee of £2 on every sale in the open market of Djoddah and Mecoa.
The responsibility of the French Government in certain regions where the slave trade is practiced is admitted here, and it is suggested that the Sultanate of Tadjouira, which is of present only nominally under French sovereignty, should be occupied by French troops, in order to suppress the traffic in that country.

I read in the "Sun" of the 17th inst. a special dispatch to that paper under the caption, "United States Control of Haytil Revised.
"General Russell Asseris Last Election Was Prep—Hughes Gives Out, Report—Marine Commender Tells What Occupation Has Done."
Will you kindly grant me space in your most valuable paper to give some light on the question? I will not deal with the thirteen points of the General and High Commission, I will only discuss his main declaration.
Why has General Russell been appointed High Commissioner to Hayfield? It was in order that the American public might get all the light necessary on that bad and regrettable Hayfian situation which will remain forever as a blot on the egustheon of this great democracy founded by George Washington, rendered secure externally by Monroe and Internally by the immortal Lincoln. Why have so many different committees been sent to Hayfield from time to time? Because the American public felt that something was totally wrong in Hayfield and wished an explanation. A committee of Senators was down there after Senator Medill Mccormick had gone there himself to investigate. They reported. Now we have the report of the General of the Marine Corps and High Commissioner.
My policy has been all along to see that justice is done Hayt without antagonizing the Marine Corps, because the Marine Corps is a branch of the Government of the United States, and if you try to show its fault the Government will have to defend it every time. I withstand my duties to have any controversy with the Marine Corps, I feel constrained to say, and the American public will agree with me, that the report of the General and High Commissioner is made to further blind it to the true conditions of the island. We all know they have been bad. Less we forget, I will give you excerpts from different papers since the beginning of the occupation to the present time. Here is what
COLLEGE STUDENTS MAKE FUTILE ATTEMPT AT DISCRIMINATION
Colored and Mexican Students Force Apology From Prejudiced Southerners in California University
LOS ANGELES, Col., April 25. (Pacific News, Thursday) An attempt upon the part of a number of prejudiced Southern students of the University of Southern California to intimidate and humiliate the five colored members of the junior class in pharmacy at a recent class social was foiled by the nerve and diplomacy of the colored and Mexican male members of the class.
colored students, eight Mexican and one West Indian.
Warned to Leave
As they arrived at the social the colored students, three of whom were ladies, were met at the door and upon catering were politely handed neatly-prepared notes on perfumed paper, bearing the following warning: "In the history of the University of Southern California it has never been known that colored students attended social functions of the University. To
Friday, March 16, the senior class in pharmacy of the University of Southern California entertained the junior class at a social gathering in the Young's Apartments, 631 Grand Avenue. Among those of the junior class to receive invitations were five
ACIDS IN STOMACH CAUSE INDIGESTION
Create Gas, Sourness and Pain—
How to Treat
Medical authorities state that nearly nine-tenths of the cases of stomach trouble, indigestion, sourness, burning, gas, bloating, musen, etc., are due to an excess of hydrochloric acid in the stomach and not solely to a lack of digestive juices. The delicate stomach lining is irritated, digestion is delayed and food sources, causing the disagreeable symptoms which every stomach sufferer knows so well. Artificial stools do not need such cases and may do real harm. Try laying aside all digestive aids and自我 get from any druggist a few ounces of Blunted Magnesium and take a hemipoison in a quarter glass of water right after eating. This sweetens the stomach acid and there is no soreness, pain or skin. Minuted Magnesium (in powder or tablet form—never liquid or solid), is harmless of the stomach, inseparably to take and to the most important level of magnesium for stomach acid. It is by thousands of stomach acid.
Heroes is what General Barnett of the Marine Corps had to say: "I was shocked beyond expression to hear of such things (referring to the Corve System) and to know that duty could be so badly performed by Marines of any class. If I were permitted to make a chronological statement of events as they occurred during the old term of our occupation of Haiti I could soon clear this up, without replying to questions. One case, that of Captain Hamilton, now Lieutenant, left a bad taste in my mouth, although the officer has been acquitted by court martial."
The Philadelphia Ledger exclaimed: "Slavery in Haiti. The Wilson Administration, while preaching idealism and democracy, practised murder and imperialism in an occupied island."
The author, Harry A. Frank, says: "The Navy and Marine Corps, between which a rift now and then shows itself, have the character of dictators, using authority as direct autocrats rather than persuasion and tact, and they have almost a cheerful petulance at any offense to their rank which does not make it easy to co-operate with the civil authorities. By chance or design the majority of the officers in Haiti are Southerners, and naturally they show any but the most enviable dislike for the natives. After all the Haitians won their Independence without assistance; to a certain extent, they are entitled to what they call "dignite personnel."
Senator Medill McCormick wrote: "We subjugated the people of Haiti and Santo Domingo, by force of arms; we might say that we conquered them, were it not true that they remain independent in law if not in fact and that they made no united resistance to the occupying forces of the American Navy. We took over the government of the two countries and in return set
colored students, eight Mexican and one West Indian.
Warned to Leave
As they arrived at the social the colored students, three of whom were ladies, were met at the door and upon entering were politely handed neatly-prepared notes on perfumed paper, hearing the following warning: "In the history of the University of Southern California it has never been known that colored students attended social functions of the University. To save embarrassment you had better leave immediately," and signed by the "Committee."
Forced Committee to Apologize
Upon reading the notes two of the colored ladies prepared to leave, but were quickly stopped by the Mexican and colored men present. Taking the notes, these men faced the "Committee" members and demanded an immediate apology to the colored ladies present for this gross unwarranted insult. After the apology the entertainment proceeded without further interruption.
President Issues Statement
Hearing of the incident President R. B. Von Kleinimid, former president of the University of Tucson, Arizona, summoned before him the colored and Mexican students and the members of the "Committee." After severely reprimanding the "Committee" members. President Von Kleinimid issued the following statement: "It is and has always been the policy of the University of Southern California that all of its students, regardless of race or color, should be granted equal enjoyment of all the school's activities, educational, social, athletic or otherwise."
The University of Southern California is one of the largest universities west of the Mississippi river and has excelled among its thousands of students a great number of colored students or all races, all of whom are Negroes. In athletics, the performances of Howard Drew, and other colored athletes who won international fame for the colors of the University of Southern California.
Senator Harding, now President of the United States, had to say about the matter: "If I should be elected President of this just and honorable Republic, I will not empower the Assistant Secretary of the Navy to draw a constitution for, helpless neighbors in the West Indies and jam it down their throats at the points of bayonets by the United States Marines, nor would I misuse the power of the Executive to cover with a vell of obscurity repugnant acts unwarranted in democratic affairs of little republics."
The late President Roosevelt said: "Inasmuch as by the Monrot Doctrine we prevent 'other nations from interfering on this side of the water, we should ourselves in good faith help our sister republics upward in peace and order."
Most Successful Specialist in the Treatment of Obscure and Chronic Diseases
By "strength" I mean strength, firm and the ability to perform all the duties and enjoy all the pleasures of life. If you are weak, you not only endure all the physical tortures of the disease itself, but you suffer from a disease because that your strength and personal magnetism is gradually but surely slipping away. The horror of this thought increases as your weakness grows. It has been correctly estimated that one in every four is afflicted with some form of vital weakness that tells the very foundling source of life. It is ever persistent, drawing continually on the resources of being with each until the certain death. The most pathetic of thoughts that there are thousands of afflicted, suffering all the ravages of weakness, who may never hear of the certainty of relief, and must therefore continue to suffer on in utter despair until the end.

we are apprehensive about the possibility of law, responsibility and power for the people of the island or the public defence in the United Nations. There are colleges in India and Guatemala who have failed in their duty from incompetence and want of experience, and I am afraid there are others who shuod their power. We should terminate a new policy under a new administration; there must be adequate protection for the peoples in possession of the island."
The blanket statements of affairs in Haiti made by the General and High Commissioner are misleading. You must take them with a grain of salt after reading what just and impartial officials and others had to say about the whole situation.
We know that a State within a State exists in Haiti. We know well the story of the wolf and the lamb. The wolf claims that the lamb had done something to him last year; the lamb claims that it was not born; but the wolf devoured him just the same. "Homo Hominl. Lepus."
The General says that the island is enjoying greater benefits since the United States took charge of its affairs. What are they? Haitians are paid in paper money five times less the value of the American dollar, and the members of the Occupation are paid five times more than the natives in most case, and in American gold from the revenues of the Haitian custom. The best positions are monopolized by the occupation to the detriment of the youth of the country. They have to expatriate in order to secure lucrative employments.
General Russell declares, that for the first time in Haiti's history the natives held an absolutely free election for President of the Republic. The inauguration of a new President, the General points out, was free from military coercion or civil violence, and for the first time both the outgoing and incoming Presidents took part.
Inconsistency could are a jevier.
After reading this you would feel like giving a medal to somebody for having done something hitherto impossible in Haiti. Never in the history of Haiti or of any country has a President been so recklessly elected as the new President of Haiti. The people never elected him. He was elected by an illegally convoked and unconstitutionally organized Council of State appointed by the ex-President. According to the Constitution of 1818, the President should have been elected by the National Assembly in joint session composed of 15 Senators and 40 Deputies.
I would not like to relate here what I heard an official recently from Haiti and a friend of the General say about the election, but it was a comedy. It is a hilarious fact that the Appointed Council of State met to elect the President, and after so many ballots adjourned for next day, and a group of them got together and elected Mr. Louis Borno President. Although born in Haiti, he is considered by France as a deserter, in view of the fact that, although French by nationality, he failed to do his military service. Being born in Haiti they never investigated his nationality but that matched up Council of State.
Some are inclined to think that there was a money consideration, and that he was satisfactory to some high officials in Hatt. He was the safest man to carry out to the letter the will of the Occupation, without a murmur on account of his doubtful nationality, and having been instrumental in signing the convention which may the occupation legal as Secretary for Foreign Affairs under the same pretense of being a Hattian.
Whether Mr. Louis Born is a Haitian or Frenchman is absolutely immaterial now. The fact remains that he has been illegally elected, in that he was not elected by the National Assembly, but by an appointed Council of State. It was neither direct nor indirect ballot. The people's will was not consulted, consequently the election should be null and void, and another

(Positive News Bureau)
OKLAHOMA CITY, Ohio, April 23. California does not want the Japanese, because as soon as a Japanese extracts a dollar from California, he deposits that dollar in a bank in Japan. But California is calling for the Negro, because California knows that as soon as a Negro gets a dollar in his hands he turns it loose and isn't particular where it goes," stated G. W. Cox, director of agencies of the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company of Durham, N.C. A. niger owned insurance company that was organized in October, 1888, practically without capital and that today pays taxes on over $1,500,000 worth of assets, in a recent address to the citizens of Oklahoma City.
We are going to smilighten the American public in order that these conditions might be remedied. We are not asking for too much. We know that weak, nations have to suffer for being weak, but when you are suicering because those who are making you suffer do not know it, it is different.
We want a House and a Senate elected by the people, and a President elected by the National Assembly, that is the House and Senate combined.
Is that too much for the Haitians who fought for their own independence without the help of any one? Who paid their war indemnities without the help of any one?
Is this the way America would treat the grandchildren of the Negroes that Lafayette recruited from the island to come over here to fight for the independence of these great United States?
Opportunities. Great
Mr. Cox added that the opportunities for the Negro were never as great and tremendous as they are today, and he stated that "we must conserve and develop our manhood as never before. So many men are not willing to pay the price for success, and, unfortunately, we have many of them in the Negro group. We must learn that the building of success has no elevator and that if we would enter the structure we must start at the bottom and climb the steps one by one. In the great co-operative movements that the Negro is starting all over America we are teaching, the black man to route his dollars so that they will stay within our group.
The Monroe Doctrine was not written in that spirit. When the real Americans, who, on account of tradition, feel that they must remain true to the principles of real democracy, find the whole truth about the matter they will clamor like Robespierre "Perish colonies rather than principles."
When the German Government, before opening facilities, approached England to find out if she would remain neutral in case of any invasion of France through Belgium, Lord Grey answered: "England will not stand for Belgium to be ravished nor France subdued." She kept her word.
"We make plenty of money," continued the speaker, "but we have not learned to keep it among ourselves. Three million Jews control the financial markets of America, and we black folk handle enough money within our group to emancipate ourselves."
We hope that America will keep her word also. She wants to be just. She will not call on herself the wrath of Him who-presides over the destinies of munkind, for I can hear the voice of Abraham Lincoln saying, "If God wills that this war continue until the wealth of the bondman's toll shall be sunk and every drop of blood drawn by the lash be paid by one drawn by the sword, the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.
GARVEY'S PLAN FOR THE NEGRO
I hall the movement with pleasure. Let the world know it is the greatest plan ever designed to restore the Negro since the fall of Ethiopia. The time is also for the restoration of the Negro race to its proper place, therefore God has provided a man in the person of Mr. Garvey to carry on the great work. I am sure God will help him to carry this great work to a successful conclusion. The great puzzle of the world

The Negroes are the most numerous among the whites. Many Negroes should require only this name. The Negroes should not God themselves in the said that the Negroes love them all more than the Americans, for it is plainly to be seen that all white view the Negroes in the name light.
Negroes should advance this movement with all their mind, with all their strength, because Africa belongs to the Negroes, and no one can blame them for telling the world that they want Africa as their hippie land. Negroes of the Western world had no choice in coming here, being brought by forces, but we want to return to our native land.
God has Failed up the Universal Negro improvement Association as the agency through which our return can be made possible. No man should, refrain from joining this movement, for its purpose is plain and simple, namely, that Africans at home or abroad be privileged to rule Africa. That God will prosper, the movement is my ardent prayer.

AFRICA AND THE LEAGUE
One of the weightiest arguments propounded by objectors to the League of Nations is that the covenant of the League in its essential operations created a superstate. The mind of the world seems more or less equally divided on this question.
Now comes Lord Robert Cecil, one of the League's most ardent proponents and speaking on behalf of one of the hight contracting parties says with dogmatic forces that the League is no superstate; that it is merely a moral force in the life of the world as a future means for the prevention of wars.
Yet the League in spite of being a mere moral force undertakes the creation of mandatories. It has created such mandatories in Africa. Is it this moral force that has established the mandatory system in Africa? Is it this impartial association of nations whose decisions have only moral weight, that is devoid of force that has laid down mandatory provisions in Africa, or is it a League of Nations dominated by England, dominated by Lord Robert's England that has created the mandatory Governments in Africa?
The African at home and abroad, indeed every black man and woman inherently possesses a profound interest in the League of Nations because as affecting Africa there are provisions in the covenant of the League that must be of vital importance to the black peoples of the world.
Nations in this country cannot with a conscience devoid of some degree of dishonesty or mental reservation give to Americans a complete understanding of England's position as regarding Africa. There is a wide dissimilarity of viewpoint and of interest as between Americans and the people of Britain. Any League or society or association of nations of which Great Britain is a part must shape a policy regarding the economic and political aspects of African life. And not to discuss that phase of the question in this country with candor and frankness is dishonesty.
KING TUT AGAIN
THE ways of justice in the United States are somewhat erratic in their workings. The wealthy criminal is always given a chance to cover up his crime and escape the consequence of his wrongdoing and the poor man has to face the music. The rich man's name is kept out of the papers; the poor man's is given the benefit of the headliner on the front page and all the notoriety power of the press can give him. Mr. Kaasebe Mitchell, son-in-law of Banker Stotesbury of Philadelphia, has faded from the front page of the daily press, and the next to follow will be Ward of Westchester, who shot and killed Clarence Peters and who will get away with it. The attempt to reopen his case will be a rank failure. When millions back up against justice, justice retires slightly disfigured. Watch the outcome of these cases and see how justice works in these glorious United States. It isn't fashionable to talk or write in this way, but I am not fashionable.

I attended the lecture last Thursday night at the Carnegie Library, 125th street, given by a gentleman from Kentucky, an Egyptologist who has spent many years in the land of mystery, pyramids and sphinxes, which was a very interesting affair, the lecture being illustrated, but the lecturer's remembrancer was not in good working order. He could not remember the names of important places and personages in some instances, and thus left his audience in doubt. I hope when he lectures again on Thursday
next he will have refreshed his memory some. and more satisfactorily than he did at his first lecture. The question as to what ethnic stock the Egyptians belonged. He seemed to run away from the question when first submitted and cleverly and skillfully, avoided and evaded a direct answer. I am going to quote a few authorities on this point and I hope someone in the audience on Thursday night will press it. In the appendix of F. De Lanoyes' "Rameses, the Great" (Scribner & Co., 1870), says Dr. Rufus L. Perry, in his book, "The Cushite," Nitrocris, the Ethiopian Queen of Egypt, is given as the last ruler of the sixth Memphis dynasty with this remark: "We should not speak of Queen Nitocris if Herodotus had not mentioned her as coming from Babylon, which would indicate an intrusion of Asiatics into Egypt about that period." Now, as a matter of fact, Herodotus mentions nothing of the kind. What he says is: "And the name of this woman who reigned was the same as that of the Babylonian Queen Nitocris." Continuing, Dr. Perry adds: The fruitful imagination of the modern Egyptologist, who can see nothing great in the black: man, but finds unlimited wisdom in the white man, insights to robe all ancient Egypt in white.
and Roman mould and in color to the filibertable race of Asia and in the Anglo-Saxon. The black mummy is arraced from his ancient sleep and transformed by the art of Pythagoras in metampaychosis into a white mummy with a look of disdain upon its former self. The Negro is not in it. If at all shown in the presence of Egyptian monarchs in modern illustrations, he is there as a captive, a suppliant or a slave. The term "cushite," so conspicuous in history, is put to the credit of the Nomadic Arabian. The terms Shicor of the Hebrews, Ethiopian of the Greeks and Niger of the Romans are all made to mean this, that or anything except a Negro. "Kinky hair" is made to signify curling ringlets or something like the present popular frizz of Caucasian belles.
The press, the pulpit, the writer and publisher were all against the Negro and suppressed the facts of his ancient greatness. In those days the white man wrote for white men, and now the black man must write for black men and give them proper and merited rank among historic peoples of the earth, but let his pen be guided by truth and graced with charity.
If it be here shown beyond reasonable doubt, as I think it is, that the ancient Egyptians, Ethiopians and Libyans, so frequently mentioned by both sacred and profane historians of the days of Moses and the Prophets, were the ancestors of the present race of Ham, then the Negro of the present century may point to them with pride, and with all who would find in him a man and brother cherish the hope of racial celebrity when in the light of Christianity Ethiopia shall stretch out her hands unto God.
iv
The discovery of the tomb of Tut-ankh-Amen at Luxor has furnished another opportunity to the manufacturers of ancient history to pervert the facts, suppress the truth and obscure the meaning and significance to the world of their recent find in Egypt. Already attempt is being made to show that Tut-ankh-Amen is not of Hamitic or Ethiopian or Cushite stock. That although he was ruler of a black race, he himself was not of that race. Treating on the dispersions of nations in Kitts' Encyclopaedia, J. Pye-Smith, D. D., F. R. S., says:
"The Ethiopians first colonized on the Arabian side of the Red Sea, they colonizing the African side, extending indefinitely to the west, so that Cushite (Jer. xiii:23) became the appellative of a Negro. To the thorough scholar, the accurate historian, one not biased by an unholy prejudice, this conclusion is inevitable. None but the children of Ham are Cushites, and the children of Ham are named in Genesis, Chapter X. Ham is acknowledged by everybody that has ever read and understood this chapter to be the ancestral head of the Negro. Prof. Christian Stock, quoted by Dr. Perry says that Cush was the first of the sons of Ham who gave name to the Ethiopians, whence Ethiopia was called Cush' (Sec. 2 Kings, xix:9, which reads: "Tirhakali, king of Ethiopia, meaning the country south of Egypt, embracing Nubia and Ayssinia, the country of the blacks."
V
The great celebrity which the Ethiopians had attained before the white had acquired any distinction in the history of nations is a little too much for the modern historian now in the front to put to the credit of the noble ancestors of the Negro without some challenge.
Speaking of the Ethiopians referred to in the Scriptures by Herodotus iii:114; iii:20, Rev. N. Marren, A. M., quoted by Dr. Perry, says: "In common with the other Cushite tribes in Africa, the skin was black, to which there is an obvious allusion in Jer. iii:23." Dr. Anthon observes: "As regards the physical character of the ancient Ethiopians, it may be remarked that the Greeks commonly used the term Ethiopian nearly as we use that of Negro. They constantly spoke of the Ethiopian as we speak of the Negroes, as if they were the blackest of people known in the world. To 'wash the Ethiopian white' was a proverbial expression applied to a hopeless task."
VII
Three thousand four hundred years ago the ancient Egyptians were beautifully black. According to the historians, Herodotus among them, who mingled with them and commented on their color and hair, etc., etc., Tut-ankh-Amen ruled in Egypt about this period. The Caucasian and so-called Aryan races had not then emerged from obscurity and savagery and had no civilization, no status among the nations which at that time ruled the then known world. So that it isn't conceivable that Tut-ankh-Amen could have been either a Caucasian or an Aryan, since they didn't exist. It follows, therefore, that he could have been no other than a black man. His subjects, being Cushites or Ethiopians or Egyptians, as you like—all meaning the same thing in the last analysis—would very naturally elevate to the rulership over them one of their own kind and race—a black man.
I hope the lecturer on Thursday night will tell his audience, if he can, how it was possible for Tut-ankh-Amen to be other than an Ethiopian or Egyptian or African monarch at that period of the world's history, when the whole of Egypt was black. Go to it, young men. Get the facts. JOHN E. BRUCE.
WHO IS TO BE BLAMED?
Spring had come at last. Dark Harlem fluttered out like erstwhile caged birds to enjoy the noon-day sun. Mothers with peramulators bedecked in pink and blue vied with each other in a slow motion carriage race. Children just let out of school made the air re-echo with their play and laughter. Little ladies and big ladies tripping backwards and forwards on pleasure or business bent, would stop, occasionally to greet some well-groomed gents. Gray-haired men and women with measured steps and radiant faces reflected as it were the warmth and energy pulsating around them. And such a riot of complexions! Ranging from a dark ebony to light maple. Eyes! Like night in all its stages, to the breaking of dawn. Hair! Large waves, small waves, straight sailing, and shades as changeable as the tropical seas.
This slow moving mass of Africa's lost sons and daughters are to be found on Lenox Avenue, the Main Street of Harlem. But Africa does not hold the monopoly of this Harlem thoroughfare, although it does by majority. Palestine, Italy, Greece and Germany are represented in the control of the shops and stores. Some of these commercial representatives are outside their establishments. Taking the air? No, not exactly, spiderlike looking for trade.

THE GRAND BENEFIT CONCERT EXTRAVAGANZA AND BALL TO BE GIVEN AT LIBERTY HALL
Sr. Killeappa Bacarill, propagator of No. ..... Leaven Avenue.
X. Zeophon of the his cleaning and show shine establishment, and Jake, the Butcher! A barcless fiftylock, with deep set eagle eyes, hands deep down in his pouchs underneath his blood-stained apron, his eyes looking furtively up and down the avenue. He has focused his eyes on something. Let's see. A colored lady, who could easily tip the scale at two hundred. She is coming at top speed, panicking and blowing.
"Jake," she bawled, advancing towards him, shaking her right hand in his face, and her left supporting, her hip. "I want to know what you mean by giving me that cow hide for steak yesterday!" with a stamp of her right foot in emphasis, her breath almost gone from the effort.
"Oh, Lady, Lady," pleaded Jake, "don't get excited, come inside," and backed into the shop behind the counter.
"Get excited nothing," she shouted, recovering her breath, "I have to work d——n hard to lose my money——"
"You lose money in mine shop," interrupted Jake. "Honest to Gott I——"
"O-h!" said Jake, drawing a long breath. "You say my steak no good, how is it that you say my steak no good. I got the best meat, fresh killed. Don't you see the sign in my window. All fresh, every day, fresh——"
"I don't care about your window, I am talking about the steak."
But ignoring the interruption, Jake continued his recitation. "Such lovely, juicy meat. Every day I get from my Cousin Moe, fresh, Kosher meat. Mine gracious Lady look at this piece of sirloin. I bet you anytig you can't beat that any place else."
"I am talking about the piece yesterday," corrected the customer.
"Yesterday, today. What's the difference? Always fresh," remarked Jake with a Yiddish shrug of his shoulders. "I had some of the same steak for supper yesterday."
"YOU?" queried the Lady.
"I should live so," said Jake solemnly, looking up to the ceiling of the store.
"I don't believe one——"
"Wait a minute Lady," interrupted Jake, laying a detaining arm on her shoulder.
Jake's connubial half appeared in the rear doorway of the shop, a faint smile on her face, perhaps because of the conversation she had overheard; or was it the day-dream of an expectant mother that provoked the fleeting smile?——"Beckie, darling, tell the customer about the wonderful steak we had for supper yesterday," said Jake, hurriedly with a knowing wink to her, and moved off to serve four of yesterday's fresh pork chops; taking good care to weigh his fingers along with the chops and wrapping paper; also to impress on the customer that the very bones of the chops were tender.
After finishing this very satisfactory task, he turned his attention to Beckie in her defence of the tender sirloin. "And when I took it out of the pan, Gee! You should smell that steak, mine husband, he comes into the kitchen right away and wants to eat."
"And when I put my steak in the pan, you should see that thing shrivel up like an old hag."
"The pan was no good," exclaimed Beckie, eager to make a point.
"Sure the pan was no good," echoed Jake, backing up the defence.
"They sell some rotten stuff now-a-days, I tell you. I had the same trouble. One night I had company, everything was burnt; so in comes in the kitchen mine sister's brother's wife, says she now must give for that pan. I says 98 cents at Hearn's. Don't you know says she, that a big firm has got to pay so much rent, clerks, delivery wagon, and all that so they charge up all that to the customer. Mine father always says, patronize the little man." Beckie paused for breath while Jake seized the opportunity to join in the defense. "I says the same thing. The little man has got to make a living."
Beckie recovering her breath determined to have the last word, continued: "Now, I buy everything up here—dishes, pans; I buy from mine brother-in-law, 'cross the street. He is in the hardware business. Such bargains he has! I couldn't believe myself—no car-fare to pay—just 'cross the street.' Come, I introduce you to mine brother-in-law." "But I haven't got any money."
"Money! That's nothing. Such a good customer you are, I tell mine brother-in-law. He let you have everything. Come!"
"Well, I will see what he has."
Editorial Notes
It would appear that when Uncle Sam went to Santiago de Chile, to take part in the deliberations of the Pan-American Congress, he went with the idea that he would be able to ride rough shod over the Latin American Republics of South and Central America.
He has, however, been deceived, and has received a nasty jolt from the Latin American Republics who are showing that they have a will of their own, and do not intend the Yankees to dictate the politics of the new world. First of all "Tio Sam," as he is called, tried to introduce a clause which provided that the Secretary of State of the United States, should be the President of the Pan-American Union.
Secondly, that no Republic should be admitted into the Pan-American Union which had not received recognition of the United States government. Both of these propositions were unanimously turned down by the Spanish Americans, and in order to placate the smaller Republics, "Tio Sam" has now announced that he intends to recognize the Mexican Government whose present president is Obregon. The day is past when the United States could bully her smaller and weaker neighbors. Let this be an example to you Mr. Negro-of what unity can accomplish.
Drum Taps in Africa
Is it a revelation to the proud Anglo-Saxon to find the natives of that benighted country (7), using a system which transmit in the minestrief details the news affecting the life of a people? Or does this go to prove that the savages of Africa are so dense and barbarous as to cry in loud voices for the high civilization of their Christian friends?
We answer that either the Anglo-Saxon has been slow to disclose the innate powers of the natives of Africa or that the natives are adepts in keeping-hid from the white man things he does not care for them to know.
Either of these conclusions-discloses the fact, that the white man has misrepresented the native ability of the peoples of Africa, or that the peoples of Africa must have been masters of much that is now being used in science and accreted to the white race.
Let the drums continue to tap and the world will are long wake up to a tense situation, which will reveal to the fully investigated will prove a monogram.

NOTE
In our review of Mabel Rowland's "Bert Williams: Son of Laughter" last week, we neglected to state that the book can be obtained at Young's Book Exchange, 135 West 135th street, New York City.
WASHINGTON, D. C., April 18. When the good citizens of Washington and the admirers of the Hon. Marcus Garvey as well as the faithful members of the U. N. I. A. division heard the news that once again that famous leader and peerless race orator would address a Washington audience, they were all filled with enthusiasm, such was the impression made upon their minds and hearts when they heard him one month before at the Pythian Temple. Tonight, the scene was changed to the more spacious Lincoln Temple, as on the previous occasion the other building was too small for the crowds that gathered to listen to the address.
From an early hour, long before the scheduled time, folk began to gather and discuss the pros and cons of the movement while awaiting the arrival of the Hon. Marcus Garvey, and when the meeting was opened there was a very appreciable audience who showed their enthusiasm in the cause of African redemption and their whole-hearted support of the movement by the frequency and the spontaneity of the cheering which the orator received all through his discourse. He did not strike out on, many new lines, but sought to bring home more forcibly many of the points upon which he had lightly dwelt in his previous discourse.
the U. N. I. A. was not preaching disloyalty to the government, nor did it preach antagonism to the white man. But it preached love of self, love of race, respect for the other fellow, but respect more so for our race. In the course of his expose he referred to the frantic efforts being made by the white man to prove that Tutankhamen was a white man. He ridiculed the idea in sarcasm that brought down the house. Continuing, he also emphasized the fact that he did not expect all the Negroes to go to Africa, bag and baggage, but expected that scientific and educated leaders should go forth to assist their brethren in Africa.
He also made a strong appeal to the women of the race to get behind their men and do
high part in the reemption of their race and the improvement of their present condition, and ended by reiterating that the Negro in America was not being sent to school to be a bellboy, a porter and a shoeblock, but to be what he chose, and if he cannot be what he desires to be here then he should go and prepare a place where he can enjoy all the blessings and can occupy positions from the highest to the lowest.
At the conclusion of the meeting Hon. Marcus Garvey received the congratulations of a large crowd of persons and the pledged support of many new members.
The Meeting
The meeting was called to order by the Hon. Joseph Stewart, president of the local division, with the usual opening hymn. The chaplain then led the meeting in prayer.
The President's Remarks
Attorney Joseph Stewart, who presided, said the U.N. L.A. had brought forward a new thought and a new movement among the nations of the world and that thought was an independent nationhood on the continent of Africa. The movement was designed to create cohesiveness and co-operation on the part of the race and to strive to erect a government in Africa. The trouble with the race today was their lack of cohesiveness. There are many black men who scout at the idea of founding a government in Africa, and who say they did not intend to assist, in building up a wild country, as they are quite satisfied to be in America where they were born. They ignore the fact that the white man will die to the last unit in order to secure a government of his own. In the recent war the white man put up a desperate struggle to maintain their nationality, and over a million black men fought to assist them to do so, yet these same black men refuse to strike for themselves and their race. In this country it was a black man, Crispus Attucks, who started the war of the Revolution. He it was who led the first fight for independence. And that man's name and his deed have been ignored in the histories.
Our ideal is a government of black men for black men, and that ideal must continually be entertained, nourished and held up before the race and the world in general. We desire freedom—freedom from race discrimination of all sorts, freedom from political oppression, freedom from Jim-crowism and freedom from economic oppression. And as we cannot obtain it here, we should go to Africa, where we will be free to work out our own destiny. There we may be able to obtain liberty of action, liberty in political matters, complete citizenship and economic freedom.
The Musical Program
A musical program, prepared by the investigable lady president, Miss Susie Eugentina, was then given, delighting the audience, which showed its appreciation by thirty applause. Among the sunburn were: Piano duet, Mrs. Evelyn Garnett, and another, vocalization, Miss Bessy Trippell, well rendered; violin
quat, Mr. J. Roberts and Miss Green; recitation, "One God, Onealm and One Destiny," Miss Ethel Marker; solo Mrs. G. U. Greene, of Central America division; violin solo, Mr. D. C. Moore; solo, "Some Day," Mrs. Lillah Jowdese; violin solo, Mr. Moore. All who took part in the program showed great promise in their particular spheres.
The Washington Division
The Hon. A. P. Prioleau, first vicepresident of the local division, after explaining the workings of the division in Washington, made an eloquent appeal for unity in the battle, not merely for the U. N. I. A., as some Negroes thought, but for the race; not in the United States alone, but throughout the world. They should follow the example of the once-despised Japanese, who are today one of the big-four of the world. If the 400,000,000 Negroes of the world would get together and organize, they would be able to establish a government that would defy the world.
The President-General Introduced
In the course of an address introducing the Hon. Marcus Garvey, President-General of the U. N.' I. A. and Provisional President of Africa, the Hon. Fabius Howell, second vice-president, expressed his pleasure at being afforded so distinguished a privilege. Their presence, it seemed to him, was proof positive that their interest was more profound than mere curiosity to hear the great apostle of human liberty point the way to freedom and African redemption through the unification of all the Negroes of the world.
He called attention to the important fact that the U. N. I. A. was a government in embryo and that the task of forming a government was a very expensive undertaking, hence the parent body required all possible help. The movement, he said, called for the greatest sacrifice in order to put over the program. Money was required to meet extraordinary expenses. He urged both members and friends to give not only their moral support, but their financial support as well. He referred with regret to the effort of a small group of our race to hinder the work of the organization, thinking they can obtain social, political and racial independence under a government ruled or controlled by the powerful white races.
Mr. Howell closed by reminding him that they had a certain object in view, namely, the unification of the Negroes of the world, and he assured them that they should not stop short in the march toward the realization of the objects of the U. N. I. A. until the goal was reached, which required the unifying of the race and bringing freedom and emancipation to the oppressed millions of Negroes throughout the world.
It afforded him great pleasure, said Mr. Howell, to introduce them to one of the most distinguished men of the race. Some one once, told him, after hearing Marcus Garvey, that he was rather the most wonderful man of the race or the greatest racial. However, the members of the U. N. L. A. had every confidence in Marcus Garvey, believing him to be the strongest factor in the fight of complete Negro emancipation that had ever come forward, and they have the greatest hope in his possibilities and faith in his ability to achieve his ideals. The members believe that he is a man of honor, justice, truth and righteousness. And as he came to them that night with those ideals, he took great pleasure in introducing them to the Hon. Marcus Garvey.
The President-General's Address
Again I am pleased to be with you in furtherance of the work of the organization in which we are all interested, the U. N. I. A. Our movement has caught the ears of nations. It has arrested the attention of the world, and men everywhere are wondering what the outcome will be, because they have never seen Negroes more determined, more restless, than they are at present under the leadership of the U. N. I. A. (Applause). This organization has stirred the minds and hearts of Negro men everywhere to the extent that we have caused some of our governments to look more toward the Negro than they looked toward the Kaiser in 1814. It seems to me they believe that the association represents some element of disturbance, but they are quite mistaken.
We of the organization represent peace, harmony, love, human sympathy, human rights and human justice, and that is why we fight so much. Whereover human rights are denied to any group, whereover justice is denied to any group, there the U. N. I. A. finds a cause. And, at this time among all the peoples of the world, the group that suffers most from injustice, the group that is denied most of those rights that belong to all humanity, is the black group of 400,000,000. Because of that injustice, because of, that dental of our rights, we go forth under the leadership of the One who is always on the side of right to fight the common cause of humanity; to fight as we fought in the Revolutionary War, as we fought in the Civil War, as we fought in the Spanish-American War, and as we fought in the war between 1814-18 on the battle plains of France and of Planders. As we fought on the heights of Mississippi; even so, under the leadership of the U. N. I. A. we are marshaling the 400,000,000 Nerves of
the world, to direct for the unification of the race and of the redemption of the country of our fathers.
That does not support anything that is unreasonable. It was not unreasonable for George Washington, the great hero and the father of the country, to have fought for the freedom of America, giving so as this great republic and this great democracy; it was not unreasonable for the Liberals of France to have fought against the monarchy to give to the world French democracy and French republicanism; it was no unrighteous cause that led Tolstoi to sound the call of Liberty in Russia, which has ended in giving to the world the social democracy of Russia, an experiment that probably will prove to be a moon and a blessing to mankind. If it was not an unrighteous cause that led Washington to fight for the independence of this country, and led the Liberals of France to establish the republic, it is therefore not an unrighteous cause for the U. N. I. A. to lead 400,000,000 Negroes all over the world to fight for the liberation of our country. (Applause.)
We represent a new line of thought among Negroes. Whether you call it advanced thought or reactionary thought, I do not care. If it is reactionary for people to seek independence in government, then we are reactionary. If it is advanced thought for people to seek liberty and freedom, then we represent the advanced school of thought among the Negroes of this country. We of the U. N. I. A. believe that just what is good for the other folks is good for us. (Applause.) If government is something that is appreciable and helpful and protective to others, then we also want to experiment in government. We do not mean a government that will make us citizens without rights or subjects without consideration. We mean a kind of government that will place our race in control, even as other races are in control of their own governments.
Therefore the U. N. I. A. is not advocating the cause of church building, because we have, a sufficiently large number of churches among us to minister to the spiritual needs of the people, and we are not going to compete with those who are engaged in so splendid a work; we are not engaged in building any new social institutions, any Y. M. C. A. or Y. W. C. A. because there are enough social workers engaged in those praiseworthy institutions. We are not engaged in politics because we have enough local politicians, whether Republicans, Democrats, Socialists, Soviets, etc., and the political situation is well taken care of. We are not engaged in domestic politics, in church building or in social uplift work, but we are engaged in
Nation Building
That is the work of the U. N. I. A. and that is the reason probably some of the people do not understand. They would probably understand if my only ambition was to shout on Sunday, Wednesday or Friday night, but to talk about Government is a little more than some of our people can appreciate just at this time. The average man does not think that way because he finds himself a citizen or a subject of some country. He seems to say, "Why should there be need for any other government?" We are French, English or American. But we of the U. N. I. A. have studied seriously this question of nationality among Negroes—this American nationality, this British nationality, this French, Italian or Spanish nationality, and have discovered that it counts forought when that nationality comes in conflict with the nationality of the group that rules. When our interests clash with those of the ruling faction, then we find that we have absolutely no rights.
In the times of peace, in the time when everything is all right, you and I have a hard time, wherever we go, wheresever we find ourselves, getting those rights that belong to us, in common with others whom we claim as fellow citizens, getting that consideration that should be ours by right of the Constitution, by right of the law; but in the time of trouble they make us all partners in the cause, as happened in the last war, when we were partners, whether British, French or American Negroes, partners in Government, partners in war. And we were told that we must forget everything in an effort to save the nation.
We have saved many nations like that and we have lost our lives doing that before. Hundreds of thousands—nay, millions of black men, lie buried under the ground under the old-time camouflage of saving the nation. We saved the British empire; we saved the French empire; we saved this glorious country more than once, and all that we have received for our sacrifices, all that we have received for what we have done, even in giving up our lives, is just what you are receiving now. just what I am receiving now.
You and I fare no better in America, in the British empire, or in any other part of the world; we fare better than no black man wheresoever he shows his head. And why? Because we have been satisfied to allow ourselves to be led, educated, to be directed by the other fellow who has always sought to lead in the world in that direction that would satisfy him and strengthen his position. We have allowed ourselves for the last 500 years to be a race of followers, following every race that has led, in the direction that would make them more secure.
Tonight, the U. N. I. A. is reversing the old-time order of things. We refuse to be followers any more. We are going to find ourselves. (Applause.) That means, if any salvation is to be done, later on, whether it is saving this one nation or that one government, we are going to seek a method of saving Africa first. (Applause.) And why? And why Africa? Because Africa has become the grand
If you and I tell it down, if you also I ignore, the call, in another hundred years Africa, will loom up as another great civilization. Africa will loom up as another great importation. Divided among the great Nations of Europe, and Africa will then represent another white man's country.
What do you think England is directing her attention towards Africa for? Just for the sport? And France? Just for the fun of it? No. Their attention is directed towards Africa because they have discovered oil in Africa; because they have discovered iron, coal, diamonds, gold and all kinds of minerals in Africa. The J. D. Rockefeller interests are directed towards Africa because of the oil, and

VISIT OF HON. RUDOLPH SMITH. THIRD ASST. PRESIDENT GENERAL. STIRS THE COLUMBUS DIVISION
By G. RUPERT CHRISTIAN
His Excellency the Honolulu. Rudolph
Smith. Third Assistant President General
of the Universal Negro Improvement
Association, visited the Columbus
division on March 27, 28, 29 and April
1, and again on April 11. His visit was
deeply appreciated by the people of
Columbus, who turned out in large
numbers to hear him. His address was
wonderful and will long remain in
the minds, of those who had the privilege
of hearing him. He dealt with a number
of subjects, and always held his
hearts spellbound. The subject of his
latest discourse was "The Cause of the
World's Unrest as Affecting Eastern
and Western Civilization."
Liberty Hall (the Dunbar Theatre) was crowded with an appreciative audience. The lecturer briefly sketched the atrocities that have been perpetrated on the black race for the last 300 years in the Western world, and said there is no end to the bad treatment. Now that the Universal Negro Improvement Association has shown the way, however, for a better state of things, all Negroes should grasp the opportunity to obtain a place for themselves that they can call home, namely, the great and rich continent of Africa. Many inactive members have come back with renewed energy and the division has been benefited financially as well as numerically.
The division will request that the President General or the American leader, Sir William Sherrill, pay a visit to this city during the spring or early summer. The spirit, of the division cannot be excelled anywhere. The ministers of Columbia seem to line up solidly against the U. N. L. A., however. The Rev. R. D. Phillips, pastor of the Union Grove Church, has been asked to explain to his members the aims and objects of the U. N. L. A., but he has not thought it worth while to reply to our communication. Other pastors even refuse to announce to their congregations the visits of officials from the parent body. These good men can apparently see only the dark side of the picture. One minister went so far as to say that Negroes are not treated badly in this country and that it is impossible to redeem Africa. I sent this pastor a copy of the Pittsburgh American and The Negro World, which carry articles telling of the awakening that he is going on in the motherland and the fear of the white world. These men tell us to have faith in God, but upon examination one finds their faith in God toward the race "stretching its hands out unto God" is very small. All of which proves that something is wrong somewhere with the spiritual leaders of our people.
The news about our ancient "wireless" in Africa has given immense satisfaction to our division, and old men and women are overloaded with the thought that victory will crown the efforts of this great movement far earlier than most think. Let us all join in one great pull, even though it may seem long, and we are sure victory will crown our efforts. Long live the U.N. I.A.I.
MEMORIAL DAY FOR BANNER DIVISION, 323
---
A day shall live in the hearts of every Negro in this town of Jobabo April 1, 1923, when the first summer of our banner came on. The hall was well prepared to meet all Negroes of different nationalities. From the doors of the hall one could see the work of our little artist, Master Luis E. Nelson Mulley, who had the hall nicely decorated with the different colors, Red, Black and Green; then over the banner stood a star with the different colors, and a black star in the center to show the work of the young Haitian, Luis, a boy 18 years old. The attraction of the hall called even one's eyes to look to the banner. Well seated was the happy compliments of the people. On the northwestern end of the hall sat the choir, under the leadership of Mr. Arthur Bruce Malcolm as choirmaster, with the choir prepared to give to the audience the moral tone of the day. On the platform or rostrum stood the president and his assistant, who were much enthused at the turn-out of the friends.
At 7 p.m. the meeting was called to order by the president with hymn 65 from the ritual, of which he read the Easter lesson and offered prayer Hymn 11 was sung. He then introduced the chairman of the evening Vice-president Sydney F. Hugh Miller, who then turned to the audience with greetings of Easter, and Banner Day. Turning to the president he said: Your most Excellency, the President. In your appointment of me this evening to be chairman for the Easter and Banner Day I hope I may always be faithful to the cause of the race as

KINGSTON DIVISION (100), UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSN.
I have been for nearly three years. And today I still wear the colors of the Red, the Black and the Green and shall never stop until God Almighty shall give over our motherland. Africa free to the Africans at home and abroad; and for the cause of liberty may you stand as the President-General, the Hon. Marcus Garvey, who opened the eyes of every Living Negro in the world that we have a part in the sun and that must be redeemed by the 400,000,000 Negroes, as Africa today under the leadership of the Hon. Marcus Garvey, expects every Negro to unite for the deliberation of Africa. The other speakers were the Hon. Robert Argentine Barrett, president; Mon. George Thos. Dale Johnson, field secretary; Thos. Carbid, ex-chapain; Miss Violet Smith, member; John Eastbourne Campbell, treasurer of this division.
The president said: I am indeed glad to find myself this night enjoying the "Easter and Banner Day" of this division. It's nearly two months since I left, seeking a livelihood so that I could manage to keep up my government, but I am more than glad of the way the hall looks to me. It shows that you were not sitting waiting, but you were working for the improvement. In the year 1914, when Europe started the World War, everyone was thinking of it, but in that same hour the Hon. Marcus Garvey made the Negroes understand that it was a war for the Negroes and it was nothing else but to come together; that we move with the program of the G. N. I. A. and A. C. L., and today it is moving like a mighty wind with the 6,000,000 members who are working for the redemption of Africa.
The next speaker was our field secretary, the Hon. George Thomas Dale Johnson, who kept the house puzzled for half an hour. He said before the Hon. Marcus Garvey came up there was not one Negro ever thought of Africa until he brought the U. N. I. A. to their attention—"Africa for Africans, those at home and those abroad." He showed his hearers that Africa is the richest continent in the world. He spoke of the different gold mines that Africa holds. He spoke of the wealth all the countries have in Africa, "all that if we but work for the cause of Africa. He then quoted these lines: "Lives of great men all remind us we can make our lives sublime, and, departing, leave behind us footprints on the sands of time." Miss Violet Smith then greeted the audience. She was glad to return to the division to see how it was going ahead. She pleaded that each Negro stand for the cause of Africa, for the redemption of Africa today depends on
KINGSTON, Jamaica. B. W. I, April 5.—Four o'clock Sunday evenings March 25 was the occasion, as previously announced of the "walk-up" collection at Odd Fellows' Hall in aid of the Liberty Hall building fund of the above division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. The attendance, notwithstanding the performances at about the same hour, of a circus company that had landed here a couple of days previously and several anniversary celebrations, was satisfactory.
Seated on the platform were Rev. S. M. Jones, president; I. C. Fraser, first vice-president, and Dr. Bruce A. Forbes, executive secretary, chairman.
The meeting was opened with the singing of the ode "From Greenland's Ice Mountains" and prayer, followed by the chairman's welcoming address, in which he further impressed upon his acquires the caupe for which they were gathered and urged their support as liberally as possible. "Give until you feel it, he said."
The following was the program all of which was well received; Chorus by the children of the Sunday school; recitation, by Master E. Vendreyon, anthem by the choir; recitation by Miss Mary Sterling; vocal-solo by Miss Sparke; march, on the organ, by Mr. Kennedy, during which three- young ladies in costumes representing the tri-color of Africa appeared on the platform. Each gave a short address outlining what her color stood for, its making up of the glorious African tri- color and for such reasons urged that they be given the better support. Keen interest was displayed throughout the contest, as the supporters of the different colors strove hard to win, which resulted: First (black), Miss D. Dixon; second (red), Miss C. Michael; third (green), Mrs. Kentish. The remainder of the program was: Instrumental trio, Messra. Gooden, Clarke and Kennedy; song by Sunday school children; recitation by Master Bryan; chairman's closing remarks; Ethiopia's National Anthem.

the Negroes here and abroad.
The ex-chapman said that, though not an officer, he was still with his people who were working for the future generations. He could not refrain from congratulating the vice-president of this division for the good and faithful way in which he had worked to keep up the division. He spoke of the good works of the U. N. I. A., to the Negroes and hoped that it might continue in the same successful manner.
The last speaker was the Hon. John Eastbourne Campbell, who, turning to the president, said: "I must first announce that there was never a president in this division who ever accomplished what you have. Tonight we find ourselves listening to a choir in this our Liberty Hall the like of which was never thought of, until you arrived upon the scene. I highly congratulate you for this. We only pray that it may continue."
Then turning to the assistant president, who was chairman, he said: "Sir, as one who devotes his time to this division, I hope you may continue in the same way until our program is accomplished.
"I cannot refrain from giving my heartfelt thanks to the choirmaster, Arthur Bruce Malcolm, who, though he has to work six hours daily and six hours nightly, gives unlimitedly of his time to prepare his choir for the time of service. One can see the great zeal Mr. Malcolm has for the division. We pray that he may continue. I must then give the names of those who brought the choir to the success of which you are aware. They are Misses Anita Rose, Ethel Brown, Charlotte Richards, Dorah Campbell and Mrs. Stentt, a member of the Preston division. The men, are: Measures: Joseph Malcolm, J. C. Campbell, John Henry, Peter A. Walcott, Levi B. Steele and Daniel Bennett."
Yours for the cause.

doubtedly was the usual V, N, I, A. crowd, full of interest and enthusiasm, which eagerly drank in the very inspiring messages, religious and otherwise, that were delivered.
The sermon was preached by Mr. J. L. Clarke, theological student of Calabre College, who took his text from Hebrews, second chapter, tenth verse; "For it became Him, for Whom are all things and by Whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings." In a soul stirring manner he referred to the sufferings' and persecutions of Christ Jesus from His fleeing into Egypt right up to His crucifixion, and also to the glory that crowned Him through His resurrection and ascension for all He hore, and wound up by assuring his hearers that as Christ suffered persecution and death upon Calvary's cross—that cross Simon, a Negro of Cyreno bore—to save spiritually fallen mankind, similarly also will Marcus Garvey he crowned for his sufferings and persecutions through the righteous program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association in the emancipation of his downtrodden race and the refemption of his motherland. "For it became Him for Whom are all things and by Whom are all things in bringing many sons unto glory to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings."
The literary and musical part of the program was of the best. Ethiopia's National Anthem brought an evening that will never be forgotten to a close. Many were the murmurs of regret as that large assembly dispersed that there should ever be an end to all good things.
Gala Day
The gala day at the Queen's Hotel grounds on Easter Monday was a bumper one. The gates were thrown open at 10 a. m., but the attendance up to 2 p. m. was a bit disappointing, but before another hour had slipped by an increasing crowd atormed, the gates and continued right up to after 8. Various were the attractions and conspicuous were the decorations of the many booths with the Red, the Black and the Green and 8x10 inch pictures of the President General. Some time after 11 p. m. Ethiopia's National Anthem brought this function to a close.

The U. N. I. A. is a right cause, and I cannot stand aside and say nothing. If this association were a private one, if it were a secret order, paying the greatest benefits; if it were other than the "Negro's Universal" I would not have joined. I am in it because I am 100 per cent. Negro. If I could claim any other blood running in my veins I would be out of it, as I would have the right to decide for myself the way I must take.
Now, this being so, let me find out if after all I am being handled fairly and squarely by my own people.
First, let me say, plainly. I am a financial member of the above-named division, No. 350, of nearly two years standing. I have been ever trying to dig into the inner workings of this association, but cannot. I have tried here and there, but no one seems able to give me anything clear. Many ordinary members have questioned me on subjects of vital importance and I dare not give a reasonable answer as to the inner workings. I hereby beg, Mr. Editor, historians and topical subscribers of this paper, to give be some light as to the working. If you cannot, then I shall be bound to ask some other people.
Mr. Editor, I am old enough to know Rome was not built in a day; but let me ask in the true sense of a man if this association is not only made up of bowling, wasting, robbing and all sorts of whatnot rather than anything constructive. What other association in God's world could be allowed to run for over four years, getting the people's

ELIXIR OF YOUTH IS NO LONGER A MYTH
ELIXIR OF YOUTH IS NO LONGER A MYTH
New Scientific Discovery Brings Mankind's Dearest Dream to Verge of Realization
Mankind's oldest and dearest dream, an "clear of youth," is brought to the verge of realization by a recent scientific discovery. Actual renewal of the body is not yet possible, but chemists have found an almost magical substance which speedily renews youthful vigor, regardless of age. Results are attained in less time than the beaming operations and the highest satisfactory, according to thousands who have been restored by the new discovery.
The importance of this trial cannot be estimated. It virtually brings youth back to the aged, besides increasing the powers of younger persons and restoring energy in natural weakness. Although entirely harmless, it often produces amazing improvement over night and many users testify to a full restoration of vigor within a week. The quick effect is due to what scientists call "chemokinesis," or increased inflammation in organisms on which vital force depends.
The use of this marvelous substance heretofore has been confined largely to the practice of famous physicists. Now, however, one of our books on the subject is available to the public in a safe, inexpensive tablet form, known as korex compound, for secret home treatment. To offset the doubts of abektics, the laboratories of the compound with the understanding that it is not to be paid for if it fails, this treatment, in a plain sealed wrapper, can be obtained by writing in confidence to the Melton Laboratories in City, Mo. You may enclose $2 or simply send your name and pay $2 and postage on delivery, as you prefer. In either case, you get your money back if you report no results within 10 days. You may also request a refund. If you need the korex compound, do not hesitate to accept their guarantee offer.

money all sorts of ways without showing for even one day the way such money is being spent? Or tell me which fair-minded leader or leaders of any concern would feel satisfied to hold the money of such concern without giving from time to time full details of such money? As an individual I have taken the matter up with the President General in writing. The Secretary General, answering for the President General, refused to give any statement, claiming in his letter my questions were asked in the worst faith, and until I get changed he would not answer.
I wonder how far will we ever go having men at the head born under the Corkscrew planet? The Secretary General as an employ of the association flatly refused to answer any and all questions (not of his private business) as to matters of vital importance. What can be considered of such a Secretary General? Is he in his right place?

Gentlemen: My wife and I are sending you a kit of "Silver Fund" to help pay those men who are being the organization. Let us all pray that God may do His will with them. We pray that God may bless, our dear leader, and give him a long life so that he may lead us to our motherland. I hope those Judasus will see their mistake.

Dear Sir, I am sending you $10 to aid and to pay those two or three deadheads who had promised to do right for the association, but turned Judas. Again I wish to tell them and the eight Uncle Tom Negroes that they are not fighting Mr. Garvey and the U. N. L. A. Please tell them that they are fighting God, because He is in the lead of this effort.
Yours,

In it the ordinance of admission of cooperation and admission to entering the campaign A. must be taken unless will have come in from the District of Columbia were the purpose of Rev. J. L. A. Hollman, 1806 through Dr. J. Hayes Johnson, and Dr. T. H. Harvey, through Dr. John W. Mitchell Success of Campaign Assured. The contributions and praises to date assure the problem of the campaign, as there now remains only about 772,500 to raise. The university's great "drive" for the endowment of the other departments of the university will undoubtedly follow shortly thereafter.
The lecture room of the Branch Library, 103 West 18th street, was filled to its capacity last Thursday evening, April 19, 1923, to hear the distinguished Epidemiologist, Mr. L. Dow Covington, F.R. G., deliver the first in a series of two illustrative lectures before the members and friends of the North Harlem Community Forum. This first lecture was entitled "The Life, Arts and Monuments of the Ancient-Egyptians," and was a picture story of these remarkable people from the dawn of their civilization to their fullest development in art, science and religion.
The large number of pictures shown and the consequent long time which was taken to describe each work of beauty and art forced the chairman to cut short the period for discussion and questions, but he assumed those present that the second lecture, the subject matter of which is "The Great Men and Women of Ancient Egypt," with special mention of the life and times of King Tutankhamen, would be much shorter and therefore abundant time would be had for the usual discussion. This lecture will be of greatest interest to us as Negroes. The picture of "Tut's" grandmother shows that she was a black woman, and the members of the Forum will avail themselves of the opportunity, to express their opinions in no uncertain terms after they see that many of these great men and women of ancient Egypt were as black as black.
The public is invited on the evening of April 26, 1923, to see this remarkable picture at 8:30 promptly, as the lecture must begin on time.

Please accept my congratulations for the splendid paper you are giving the reading public. Without the Negro World the race is like a ship without a rudder. It drifts to sure destruction on the shores of Negro journalism. I am praying that the day may never come when the Negro World ceases to hold its own.
I shall expect all the help necessary from your splendid paper to put my new church venture before the Negro public the world over. I shall be travelling extensively in. the near future in the interest of my denomination and will do all in my power to assist in a general way to promote the circulation of your paper.

Many scientists were long ago convinced that lack of activity of several hands was responsible for Weekend General Debility, Dependency, Resistance at Night, Tired, Worn Out Feeling and other symptoms. Several of them identified that would bring the benefits of gland treatments to every home. Finally in darkest Africa they discovered an extract that, seemingly produces wonders beneficial to many men and women, both young and old. It has been known to produce remarkable results within 6 hours, and in said to be far superior to any other extract.

Se opera gradualmente-un aumento sobre la restrin-

las razas-aventuteras de Europa. Los grandes gobiernos

‘politica ambiciosa y actualmente“totamos que estas hacen
une Ilamada general a sus distantas nacionalidades para que
sus stibditos fijen su residencia en-el continente, con el
propésito de explotar sus productos naturales. :

capitalistas blancos “en diferentes paises para que estos
inviertan su dinero en Ja explotacién de las minas de
petréleo, oro, carhén y otras materias en nuestra madre
pattia. Esto’ nos indica que ef muy corto perigdo de
_ tiempo el Africa se convertira en el centro de las actividades
comerciales del mundo y el Negro sér4 naturalimente, en
la nueva.civilizacion africana, retenido sino degradado en
cl pucsto que ocupa ante la civilizacién contempordnea.
Lo. mismo ha de ocyrrir ante’ la faz de -nuestro

anhelamos la vida y el derecho de los demas pueblos,
“hemos Ue cstacionarnos y permitir que se nos arrebate To

Russell declara que el futuro de
Haiti nunca ha sido mas brillante y
cree que la continuaciénede Ia actual
politica de cooperacién con el go-
bierno haitiano, junto con la sin-
cera y ardiente cooperacion que ha
deniostrado durante los ocho meses

rrollo y progreso de Haiti, at mante-
nimiento del estado de paz y a la
prosperidad del pueblo,
Dice que todos los rioiteamerica-

Haiti al punto de reducir al rnini-

conocer su pleno valor y el destinc
final que se le da.
Naturalmente los rumores de lo:

que en las tumbas de los ‘faraones
acechaba la venganza para los in-
-vasores. Su declaraciéi: de que Jos
reyes de Egipto habian enterrado
con ellos “diversas porciontes secre-
tas” destinadas a matar a los que
penetraran en la cimara mortuoria
real, no esta confirmada por Sir
Enerst Budge, conservador de an-
tigtiedades egipcias ene museo bri-
tanico, que no ha encontrado janis

Habra muchos que tomen seriamen
te este punto de vista. Lt tradician
oriental y Ia ficcién occidental han
preparado el terreno para que kn
supeysticion se afirme.
No obstante, la ciencia tiene ta
mejor parte en Ja disputa. Lord

OM. MARCUS GARVEY AGAIN DESIESES CAPITAL WITH MATCHLESS ORATORY
(Continued from page 6)
France, for Italy, for the Carnegie and Rockefeller trusts, then Africa is also attractive for the 400,000,000 black people of the world. (Applause.)
And what does it require to redeem a race and free a country? If it takes man power, if it takes scientific intelligence, if it takes education of any kind, or if it takes blood, then the 400,000,000 Negroes of the world have it.
It took the combined man power of the allies to put down the mad determination of the Kaiser to impose German will upon the world and upon humanity. And among those who suppressed his mad ambition were two million Negroes who have not yet forgotten how to drive men across the firing line. (Laughter.) Surely those of us who faced German shot and shot at the Marine, at Verdun, have not forgotten the order of our Commander-In-Chief. Surely the cry that caused us to leave America in such mad haste, nearly 400,000, when white fellow citizens of this country refused to fight, when Debs and his great party said, "We do not believe in war and therefore, even though we are American citizens, and even though the nation is in danger, we will not go to war." When many of them cried out and said, "We are German-Americans and we can not fight," when so many white men refused to answer to the call and dodged behind all kinds of excuses, 400,000 black men, were ready without a question. (Applause.) It was because we were told it was a war of democracy; it was a war for the liberation of the weaker peoples of the world. We heard the cry of Woodrow Wilson, not because we liked him so, but because the things he said were of such a nature that they appealed to us as men. Whenever the cause of humanity stands in need of assistance, there you will find the Negro ever ready to go to the assistance.
He has done it from the daze of Christ up to now. When the whole world turned its back upon the Christ, the man who was said to be the Son of God, when the world cried out, "Crucify Him," when the world spurned Him and spit upon Him, it was a black man, Simon, the Cyrian, who took up the cross. Why? Because the cause of humanity appealed to him. When the black man saw the suffering Jew, struggling under the heavy cross, he was willing to go to His assistance, and he bore that cross up to the heights of Calvary. In the same spirit of Simon, the Cyrian, 1,000 years ago, in that same spirit, we approved the call of Woodrow Wilson.
a larger humanity, and it was for that that we willingly rushed into the war from America, from the West Indies, over 100,000; it was for that that we rushed into the war from Africa, 2,000,000 of us; over 2,000,000 of us met in France, in Flanders and is Mesopotamia. We fought uninteringly. When the white men faltered and fell back on their battle lines, at the Marne and at Vordun, when they ran away from the charge of the German hordes, the black hell fighters stood before the cannonade, stood before the charge, and again they said, "There will be a hot time in the old town tonight" (Applause).
And they made it so hot that after a few months of their appearance in France and on the various battle fronts they succeeded in driving the German bords across the Rhine, and driving the Kaiser out of Germany and out of Potsdam into Holland. We have not forgotten the prowess of war. If we have been liberal minded enough to give our life's blood in France, in Mesopotamia and elsewhere, fighting for the white man, whom we have always assisted, surely we have not forgotten to fight for ourselves, and when the time comes, when the time comes when the world will again give an opportunity for African freedom, surely 400,000,000 black men will march out on the battle plains of Africa, under the colors of the red, the black and the green. (Appeause).
We shall march out, yes, as black American citizens, as black British subjects, as black French citizens, as black Italians or as black Spaniards, but we shall march out
With a Greater Loyalty.
the loyalty of race. We shall march out in answer to the cry of our fathers, who cry out to us for the redemption of our own country, our motherland, Africa. (Applause.)
We shall march out, not forgetting the blessings of America. We shall march out, not forgetting the blessings of civilization. We shall march out with a history of peace before and behind us, and surely that history shall be our breastplate, for how can man fight better than knowing that the cause for which he fights is righteous? How can man fight more gloriously than by knowing that behind him is a history of slavery, a history of bloody carnage and massacre inflicted upon a race because of its inability to protect itself and fight? Shakl we not fight for the glorious opportunity of protecting and Forever More Establishing the Race, as a mighty race and nation, never more to be disrespected by men. (Applause.) Glorious shall be the battle when the time comes to fight for our people and our race.
Now, when I talk about this, some of us do not seem to understand me. When I say fight I mean fight. Some Mirage believe that God is good and that life is going to come down here to fight our battles. But they will
wait a long, long time. If ex-President Wilson had waited for the Lord to come down and lead the allied armies the Kaiser would have been drinking pea soup in Paris long, long ago, or in Buckingham Palace. Von Hindenburg would have been Governor-General of the United States, as a province of the great German empire. But President Wilson had better sense. He did not wait for the Lord to come down to lead the American forces, but he called upon that skilled soldier, John Pershing, to lead the armies that won the war. It was not the prayers to the Lord that won the war, but the men, the ammunition and the provisions that we supplied to the American forces and to the allies.
And if you and I expect to become one of these days, a free and independent people, you must expect to get that independence in like manner. The Lord will help the fighters when they strike the blow for their own freedom. (Applause.) The Lord is always against the coward. And He is always on the side of the man of courage, the man of character, and the man of decision. Once upon a time someone asked Napoleon on whose side was the Lord. He said "that the Lord was on the side of the strongest battalions." That is the side that the Lord is on, and if you want the Lord to be with you, you had better put up a good fight. (Applause.)
You remember when He of Himself went to battle with the great Luelfer that he did not call for any quarter, nor did he give any. He fought a grand battle, a battle to the finish, and when he got the upper hand of Luelfer, who was endeavoring to put up such a stiff fight. He did not put him in any part of Paradise, but dumped him out of the heavens, into the deepest part of hell. That's the kind of Lord He is. When he goes to war He is going to fight it through. And if Negroes expect to get anywhere they have to make up their minds to fight in that way. And that is why the U. N. L. I. is so much discussed now in the newspapers, the magazines and elsewhere. The newspapers have been giving more attention to the U. N. L. I. in five years than has been given to any other Negro organization in 500 years. And they are doing so because they realize that we are not only reading from the prayer book any more, as we know any part, from Genesis to Revelation, but we are reading the text-books of political science. They toalize that we are not only going to church on Sundays, as we should do, because we cannot neglect the spiritual slide of our lives; they realize that we not only go to prayer meetings on Sunday nights, but to political conventions, talking about the doings of the Republican, the Democratic, the Socialist and other parties, and, above all, talking about the doings of the pre-Negro party of 400,000,000 men. (Applause.)
Yes, that Negro party that says "government is good for the great white man and the rising yellow man, that same government is also good for the black man." I have nothing but compliment for the white man. He has made good. If I were a white man I would have been proud of myself, and probably I would not have been much better than the average white man. I do not promise that I would have been better than the Ben Tilmanus and the Vardamans, because it is up to all men to save themselves. I am not so crazy as to believe that any white man, be he the Pope of Rome, the Archbishop of Canterbury or President Harding, will consider me, a black man, before he considers himself. He would be a fool if he did that. I do not care how much religion they teach, how much they tell me about the love of the Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, I know they could not love me one bit more than they love themselves. Self-preservation is the first law of nature, and therefore if I were a white man I would seek to protect myself and my race, and if I were a yellow man I would do the same. It is natural; so if you have sense you would seek to protect yourselves and your race first. (Applause.)
That does not mean that you must be discourteous and unkind to the other fellow. Black men can love white men and white men can love black men. The same with the yellow man, if all of us will only understand that all of us have equal rights in the world.
When the white man will understand that God made him to enjoy 'himself here, and, when he will further understand that God made other folks also to enjoy themselves here, and when he gets to understand that there must be an equitable division of everything down here for everybody who is down here and that no one person is entitled to grab up everything; when he comes to realize that we cannot all have a good time here so long as somebody is trying to get away with the other fellow's share, and so long as he believes he is entitled to everything, down here then he certainly will have a bad time.
Whosoever believes that he is going to, take up all of the room and push me in the snow that person is simply crazy. Anyone who believes that he is going to eat up everything that I have here and keep me hungry all the time has another thought coming. He will keep me hungry so long as I am ignorant of my rights; he will keep me naked so long as I am ignorant of my rights; he will keep me out of doors for many years so long as I am ignorant, but he must remember that you can feel part of the people part of the time but you cannot fool all
THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, APRIL 28, 1923
the people all the time. And they have fooled our Europeparents for 200 years, with their eyes open or closed. But Marcus Garvey even with his eyes closed can see them, and what is true of Marcus Garvey is true of every Negro who has been reborn in the U. N. I. A. We are not seeking to have any trouble with anybody. We are only asking for a fair division.
Half for You and Half for Me
We are saying to the great white brother, take your portion, take your division. If you want what is yours we are not going to disturb you; if you want America, even though you took it from the Indians, who had not enough senses to keep it, we are not going to trouble you; but, brother, when it comes to Africa, somebody's block is going to be knocked off.
Keep your oil fetches in California, in Texas or in Oklahoma; keep your coal mines, in Pennsylvania, but, brother, if somebody discovers oil in Timbuco; if somebody discovers gold in Kimberley, or in Johannesburg; if somebody discovers copper in Sierra Leone, or diamonds in Nigeria or in Somalia land or Baustoland, it belongs to me. (Applause.) It belongs to the 400,000,000 Negroes, because it is the property of our forefathers.
We never sold it; we never gave it away; we never rented it to anybody; we have not leased it out. So anybody who is squatting there, who cannot show a title signed by us for his possession had better get out, for moving day is coming. As we moved the Germans from Rhelms, from the other places, and sent them across the Rhine; as we moved the German and central powers across the plains of Mesopotamia, so the 400,000,000 Negroes of the world will move somebody from coast to coast to free their territory.
You may laugh at it, and say that I am crazy, that it is a huge joke, that it is something laughable, but it is to be remembered that it was thought laughable when trorge Washington declared that America should be a free and independent country. The British in the House of Parliament laughed at him, made joke at his remarks, and what of today? We have the Stars and Stripes. Ten years ago the Czar of Russia laughed in the face of the social revolutionists. In that country when they threatened that the time would come when they would no longer be ruled by the Czars. He laughed at them, but today he is under the ground; Lening and Trotzky are ruling there now.
Laugh at the U. N. I. A. You may laugh at the Negro as you may. But so long as there are 400,000,000 Negroes in the world with blood in their bodies, you passions, with ambitions and with feelings, surely as there is a God above, they shall unite and strike a blow for our universal emancipation, and for the freedom of our country. We, of the M. N. I. A., represent the new Negro, whose ambition leads him to use power for himself as others use power for themselves. Dorn American citizens, as a large number of us are, we have ambitions, we have feelings, we have passions just like our white fellow citizens; we have lived under the same environment, passed through the same educational institutions, studied under the same circumstances and out of the same text books.
Wilson and some Negro studied at the same time, passed probably through the same schools, and read the same text books. President Harding probably studied with a Negro at the same time. And as in their case, so it has been with thousands of white men who have studied side by side with colored men and graduated from the schools at the same time. But what has become of the ambition of the Negro who studied and graduated with President Harding? What has become of the ambition of the Negro who graduated with Woodrow Wilson, with Charles Dewey Hughes, with Daugherty and others who are taking part in this great system of government laid out by the majority group that rules? That Negro's ambition must be smothered; it must be limited. And with all his education, with all his feelings, and passions and ambitions, he must be a bell boy, he must be a porter, or he must be a handy man in some office building. Thus far and no further.
But as to me, Woodrow Wilson, I must be President of the United States; I Warren Harding, must be President; I Charles Hughes, must be Secretary of State. But because of my color because of your race, our ambitions must be limited, we must be kept down by the majority group that rules. But though they limit my ambitions they cannot kill them. And if I and 400,000-000 Negroes cannot find an outlet for our ambitions in a country where the majority group of another race rules and dominates, surely we shall find a place where our race can give vent to our wildest and greatest ambitions.
So when we see that in America the Negro cannot become President; when we see in France that he cannot become President, and in England he cannot become Prime Minister, surely, since the Negro is not dead, he shall find a country where he will be able to rise from the lowest to the highest position in the state. It is for that that the U. N. I. A. works.
We are not agitating any disturbance in America, in the British Empire or in France, or within the bounds of Europe, or disturbance of government anywhere, but we do not respect any government on the continent of Africa. (Applause.)
White folks will make laws for black folks in Europe and in America, but I would like to see the man who would have nerve enough to come in my home and make laws to govern me and my home. That is past the limit. A man may tell you on what side of the street to walk or where to stay, but for one to go into my house and try to tell
me where to sit down, when to get up, or so go away, you know that would be past the limit. No one is going to stand for that, and the 400,000,000 groes are not going to stand and allow a more handful of white men to tell them what to do in their own home.
Take, for instance, Belgium, that rules over a million square miles of territory in Africa. That country in Europe is not as large as this church, compared to the city of Washington. Yet we are sitting here and allowing Belgium to control one million square miles of land where the bulk of the rubber comes from. The rubber that you see on the automobile tires that cost so much comes principally from the Belgian Congo. Belgium sends its capitalists and explorers down there and gets the natives to produce that rubber. Some of you will remember the outrages of Leopold when the natives did not get enough rubber. They cut off the hands and cars of the Congoles or cut off their feet; and it was said that literally the blood of the masacred Congolese could float a warship, because they could not produce enough rubber for Belgium. And 400,000,000 Negroes have allowed that to go on for over three hundred years, because we did not know of our race, we did not know the worth of our country. Today the U. N. I. A is drawing the fact to the attention of Negroes everywhere, and we expect you women of the race to fight the greatest part of the battle that is to be waged. We do not mean that we are all of us to go to Africa to fight that battle. We are asking you to remain just where you are and help to fight the battles of Africa.
You have given your men too easy a time; you have allowed them to get away with too many things; and we expect you women to measure up. The white race has progressed to that extent because of the mothers, the womanhood of the race. Anything a white woman wants she sends her man to get it, and he had better come home with it or stay out. If she wants a seal coat she sends him out to hunt for it. If she wants diamonds she sends him all the way to Africa, and he conquers the natives, rules them, takes away their diamonds and brings them home. The white woman has been the hand behind the white man, and so you colored women must measure up.
You want freedom. Send your mum out to get it and don't allow them to come home until they bring it (applause). That is what we expect of the women of the race to do for us, not in five or ten years, but the time will soon come. Some of our critics say "Garvey is crazy! How can he stay here all the way in America and build up a republic in Africa? They expect that I would be foolish enough to tell them how we are going to do it. But in saying nothing I want to say this: It was only last week I was in my office when a representative of the Associated Press came to me and said: "Mr. Garvey, we have a bit of news from London, and I want your advice G. K. A Sable chain this morning stating that propaganda is being carried on from one part of Africa to the other by a new system of wireless, and we want to find out the dope of it." As though I would be so crazy to give him from London stating that natives of Africa were conveying news of importance to them from one section of Africa to the other, and such news would reach from one end to the other in twelve hours. This is done by a system of drum communication.
That is the way they broadcast the news of the U. N. I. A. Every twenty-four hours of the day every section of Africa knows what is being done by the U. N. I. A., as messages are transmitted here from New York to Los Angeles in a few minutes. In Africa we have no wireless or system like that, but we have had our system, centuries old, long before anything was known about radio transmission, and we are now using it in Africa with a vengeance.
The British thought that they, were smart and said they would not allow any Garvey propaganda. So they suppressed the circulation of The Negro World in Nigeria, Sierra Leone; also in Senegal, Tripoli, etc. They thought by so doing the natives would get no information of our doings, but they are using the old time system. So a week ago they discovered that the natives were using it. One tribe would heat the sound on the drum and another tribe would catch the sound and relay it on the drum, so that in a few hours the whole continent of Africa would be reached.
And that is the way the U. N. L. A. is sweeping Africa with the doctrine of Africa for the Africans, at home and those abroad. So the Africans are going to do their own redeeming, and all that they are expecting is to get scientific and mechanical help from this side.
We are not asking all Negroes to pick up, bug and baggage, and go to Africa, because some Negroes on this side are too lazy, and we do not want any lazy American or West Indian Negroes to go to Africa. We may want them later on when they would not be lazy, because if they try to be lazy we will provide a pen for them. The other day there was an uprising in Kenyon. The British had guns, while the natives had bows and arrows. The Inter did the same as the Indians did here in the old days. The poor natives started throwing stones and brandishing sticks, and the Englishmen went to the air in air aeroplane and the matter was finished in a few minutes. So you understand what the natives want. They want men of scientific training so that they can match aeroplane for aeroplane, submarine for submarine, poison gas for poison gas and liquid fire for liquid fire. That's what we are talking about. And that is the kind of Negro we want in Africa now.
I am only, sorry I cannot get to Africa yet. Every time I try to get there they try o put me in jail. The first time I tried to get away they picked me up for fraudulent use of the mails. That was eighteen months, are and
the case has been postponed fifty times. When they thought I would get away they arrested me for not filling a proper income tax report. When they feared that this charge also would fall they picked me up for libeling the District Attorney. But the longer they keep me here the more Garvey's they are making. So I am not worried. But we must be serious.
Some of you must have read of the happenings in Ireland. Once I was a friend of De Valera. That was before the compromise. When he was fighting for the republic I did everything from the U.N. I: A. to help him. We cabled the king and Parliament, on behalf of De Valera. And when the time arrived for a compromise and they were offered the Free State, we saw, that their opportunity had come. But De Valera has now apolied the thing, for he could have accepted the Free State and in a few years made a republic of it, because he would then have control of the country.
However, the Irish have given us a splendid object-less of perseverance and tenacity. For 750 years these people had been fighting for the freedom of Ireland. For seven centuries they had subscribed to the doctrine of a free Ireland. Hundreds of thousands, millions of Irishmen, have died in that space of time, fighting for that great ideal. Yes, a splendid example for Negroes today.
Negroes expect that we are going to get back Africa in a day. Walt. It will come in God's good time and in the time that you make up your mind to have it. It will not come before you make up your mind. The Irish have been fighting for their freedom, and every day some Irishmen die. Later on, in the same way, some of our men will have to die in Africa.
Negroes believe in death only when they are going to heaven. But there is another kind of death—the death that brings liberty, the death that George Washington and Patrick Henry risked more than 100 years ago when they were laying the foundations for the glorious Stars and Stripes. This is the same kind of death that the members of the U. N. L. A. are prepared for in the fight for the freedom of our country. (Applause). What do I care about death in the cause of the redemption of Africa? I could in well die in Washington or in New York as in Barbalos, Jamaica, Demerara or in Nigeria, Storme or Nyassaland, I could die anywhere in the cause of liberty. A real man dies but once; a coward dies a thousand times before his real death (Laughter). So we want you to realize that life is not worth its salt except you can live it for some purpose. And the noblest purpose for which to live is the emancipation of a race and the emancipation of posterity.
We are not going to abuse the white man, understand me well. The U. N. I. A. is not trying to cause hatred or enmity against the white man, because if I were a white man I would be doing just what he is doing. If I were a white man do you think I would make any black man President, Secretary of State or Postmaster General? No. So do not expect too much from the white man, for he is not going to give up all the things that he wants or a job that enables him to take care of his woman, for your sake.
So you must not be annoyed at the white man, but just do what he is doing. The sensible thing for you to do is to go out and get your share, regardless of anybody else. First of all, find out that your cause is just, that your cause is righteous, and then go to it. Find out that your cause is just, and if anyone comes in your way
Knock Him Into Paradise
But if your cause is unholy, then you cannot go forth to battle. We have prayed to our God to help us fight a righteous cause, and we know that it is a righteous one, because He Himself has inspired us, for He said, "Ethiopia shall stretch forth her hands unto God," and we are doing so now.
We have to admire the white man who fixed the Bible to suit himself, and who even fixed tradition itself, telling us that everything, worth white and beautiful was made by the white men; that God is a great white man, that Jesus was a white man, and that the angels, etc., whatever they are, are as beautiful as peaches in Georgia (Laughter.) He had nearly got the world to believe that. He nearly got away with that stuff. But the Japanese thought that they should examine that philosophy, and found out that it was not true, and so they said, "You are talking about a white God, I will have a yellow god, and a yellow Christ, and a philosophy of my own."
He nearly got away with that stuff with us. He carried it on for 300 years. But the new Negro said five years ago, "Let us examine his philosophy." And they found out that the
God or white Christ, and if that other fellow made a white God and a white Christ, we are going to make a black God and a black Christ, and we will even change the color of the angels' wings. It is the new philosophy of the new school. The white men are determined to)mpose their ideas, however, on the world.
Three thousand years ago we had a wonderful civilization in the world. It was the civilization that Europe stole. The remains of the civilization lay buried underground. Some years ago they started to dig up the places in order to see if they would find anything of that wonderful civilization. But they began at once to scheme. They went down and dug up a black man whose nose is just like that of Marcus Garvey. (Laughter.) Yet they are such skillful fellows they have come and tried to tell us that Tu-tankh-Amen was a white man. Did any of you ever see a white man with a nose like Marcus Garvey's? But we should not fall out with them for that. We intend to live beside each other, care for each other, and respect each other, even admire each other, but politically, socially, religiously and educationally, we are going our own way. (Applause.)
We Are Going in Our Own Directed
The U. N. I. A. has tumbled over the
philosophy of the white man, and the
U. N. L. A. is about to destroy the education of the white man in so far as that education is imposed upon Negroes. Negroes, you have to evolve an education, a culture, a philosophy, and a civilization of your own. So long as you continue to ape the white man in his civilization, and so long as you continue to assimilate the white man's learning and philosophy, so long as you remain his slave, his mental slave, you will be his physical slave. You must first emancipate your mind, and then only can you emancipate your bodies. You must erect a civilization of your own, write a history of your own, and you must foster a tradition of your own. Tradition says that a Negro was the greatest being that God ever created. History says the greatest civilization the world has ever seen was the civilization of our forefathers. Read that history, send down the ages that tradition, and by so doing you shall build a race and a nation upon which
The Sun Will Navar Set
and a race and a nation that will be respected all over the world. May God bless you and show you the vision of the U. N. L. A. a vision without hatred, without malice, but with love for all mankind; with a foundation of justice of human liberty and righteousness. That is the doctrine of the U. N. L. A. That is the propagation that we are sending around the world. That is what we are asking you to subscribe to tonight.
Vigor of Youth, Health May Be
Eminent German Scientist To Discovery for Restor Health and
Vigor of Youth, Health and Man Power May Be Restored
Eminent German Scientist Tells of Magic Power in New Discovery for Restoring Youthful Vigor, Health and Strength
Every man or woman may now add many happy years to their lives and enjoy youthful health, strength and vigor. A discovery made by an eminent German scientist after many years of careful research and study is proposed superior to either the famous OR AFRICAN BARK TREATMENT or AFRICAN BARK TREATMENT. Youthful health, strength and grace lost by presentity, neglect or abuse. THE ENDROCINE LABORATORIES were so attracted by the remarkable results reported by eminent physiologists that they arranged to make this treatment available to everybody. The treatment is very simple, expensive and can be taken by any one at home. People testing this treatment have been amazed at the quick results and astonished to feel the vigor of youth and apparently to them yet. Scientists's great success is in his method of combining the GLAND A.D.
AFRICAN BARK TREATMENT together with other powerful but here unpleasant for treatment with human and nerve forces to normal activity, causing armments to disappear and youthful vigor, health and power to return. Any man or woman not strong in good health may now be restructured by this wonderful treatment as guaranteed by your name and address to the ENDROCINE LABORATORIES. Dept. K. St. Louis, Mo., and they will send you by mail a full $1.00 treatment. On arrival pay the postmaster only $2.00 and post a or, if you prefer, enclose $2.00 in your envelope. If you wish to send your payment with order). In either case, if you are not highly pleased with results in one day, just notify the laboratory and they will promptly refund your payment in full. Any one should feel treated by this wonderful treatment, as they are fully protected by this guarantee.

It is not a cause of racial antigener-
or racial hatred; it is a cause of nec-
love, the cause of love of self and of
race appreciation, and I feel sure that
it is worth something to each and
every one of you. I pray God will bless
you and keep you together and that
you will live in peace and harmony
in Washington as elsewhere, in this
great republic and nation. The U. N.
L. A. does not mean that you cannot
be a loyal citizen of America and yet
work for the cause of Africa. Our
race has a dual loyalty. The white
man has a loyalty for his nation and
one for his race. The Negro must
have the same.
We are only appealing to the loyalty of race; the loyalty to our fathers who are calling for help to save the country from English greed and exploitation, from French expansion and Italian exploitation, and surely the 400,000,000 Negroes of the world should answer the call.
We should say to the 250,000,000 who are in Africa to hold the fort, for we are coming. (Applause.)
Hold the fort, for we are coming 400,000,000 strong, with our superior knowledge of western civilization. We are coming to liberate the land of our fathers and encapitate our scattered and desplaced race throughout the world. (Applause.) Our fathers did not send us to school to be mere boo-blacks, to be more bellboys and porters. They sent us to school to choose what we shall be, and so we of the U. N. L. A. have decided that we shall be free men; we shall live free men and die free men. May God bless you.
