Fellow Men of the Negro Race; Greeting: It is gratifying to see and realize how wonderfully well our people are throwing off the psychology of alien races and promoting a racial character of their own.
For quite a long while the members of other races tried to enslave us by a false psychology and a vicious propaganda. They tried to make us see life and all things from their point of view. and they succeeded to the extent that they nearly made permanent slaves of all of us; but, fortunately, you cannot "fool all of the people all of the time," because to us is born in this age a new type of men who are determined to cast off the psychology and propaganda of the other fellow and husband that of their own.
Subduing the World
The great white man has succeeded in subduing the world by forcing everybody to think his way, from his God to his fireside. He has given to the world, from the Bible to his yellow newspaper sheet, a literature that establishes his right and sovereignty to the disadvantage of the rest of the human race. The white man's propaganda has made him the master of the world, and all those who have come in contact with it and accepted it have become his slaves.
Our Propaganda
The Universal Negro Improvement Association is now calling upon the 400,000,000 members of our race to discard the psychology and propaganda of all other peoples and to advance our own. The white man taught that the best of the world was intended for him, and we now teach that all the beauties of creation are the black man's; and he is heir to all that God has given to man.
A White World
The white man sees a white world and propagates his doctrines accordingly. The black man now sees a black world and teaches that to his race of all generations.
Searching for an Ideal
Negroes should not look to the books, magazines, newspapers and general literature of other races for their ideal, for it will never be found.
NEGRO SHOULD FOSTER HIS OWN IDEAL
FALSE MISSIONARIES TEACHING IN THE NAME OF CHRIST
NEGROES SHOULD MEET PROPAGANDA WITH PROPAGANDA THE NEGRO'S LOVE FOR CHRIST AND THE CHRISTIAN RELIGION IS BEYOND QUESTION
It is to the interest of the white race to promote the good of their own people and discourage and discredit the good of others. Negroes should not expect Brisbane and other white newspaper editors and writers to call us anything else but monkeys, apes and savages and to boost themselves as supermen and demigods. The time has really come for black men to cease thinking about other peoples in the sense of accepting from them the lead and purpose of life; we must be our own leaders and we must find our own purpose.
Shun Alien Prenagence
I now, therefore, call upon Negroes everywhere to ignore, skim and renounce the propaganda of other peoples. If you read the books, magazines, newspapers and literature of other peoples do so with the eye of the patient who accepts the medicine of an unfriendly nurse, watching carefully to see that she does not add to the prescription by the introduction of any foreign drugs.
The whole world is full of propaganda—English, French, German, Anglo-American, Japanese, Chinese, etc.—and now it is our duty to counteract them all with real African propaganda.
Africa for the Africans!
Above the noise and shout of the world there should be one ringing cry, that of "AFRICA FOR THE AFRICANS," at home and abroad. Then we should also insist on seeing all things black to the exclusion of all other matter. So long as Englishmen are going to talk about England and Frenchmen of France and white Americans of America, then there is
nothing left for us to do but think and talk of black Africa, the preaching of the Christian missionary notwithstanding.
Propaganda With Propaganda
We must meet propaganda with propaganda and not let up until those who lead in the selfishness of race demonstrate the real brotherhood of man that they have been telling the world about for nearly 2,000 years. Religions and secular propaganda have ruined the Negro, and now that he knows God he is going to worship Him through the agency of truth, and not through the hypocrisy and lie taught us by the missionary schools which teach Christ in one breath and steal and plunder in the other.
The Religion of Christ
The Negro is now accepting the religion of the real Christ, not the property-robbing, gold-stealing, diamond-exploiting Christ, but the Christ of Love, Justice and Mercy. The Negro wants no more of the white man's religion as it applies to his race, for it is a lie and a farce; it is propaganda pure and simple to make fools of a race and rob the precious world, the gift of God to man, and make of it the exclusive home of pleasure, prosperity and happiness for those who have enough intelligence to realize that God made them masters of their fate and architects of their own destinies.
The Negro's Love for Truth
The Negro's love for Christ and the Christian religion is beyond question, but we simply refuse any longer to accept the interpretation of the white man on those fundamentals that seek to elevate or establish the rights of man. The white leader has failed to impress the world of today with his honesty of purpose. He is only a propagandist, and the black race has had enough of his propaganda and wants no more of it.
With very best wishes for your success. I have the honor to be

LIBERTY HALL. New York, Sunday Night. October 28. - Liberty Hall continues to be the Meccas for the race- loving element of Negroes in New York and vicinity, who inspired by the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association resort thilker by the thousands Sunday after Sunday, and their enthusiasm and financial support lend encouragement to the leaders of the movement to carry on the fight for African redemption. Not only is this true of New York, but all parts of the country where the Universal Negro Improvement Association is known some the reports that Negroes are flocking to the standard of the Red, the Black and the Green as they have never before.
President-General Sends Telegram.
After the unpaid allegiance to tonight the Chairman (Hon William Sherrih) read a telegram received from Hon Marcus Garvey, from Chicago, sending best wishes to the members, and advising of his coming to New York on November 8. Following him, Mr. Sherrih read a slipping from an African newspaper which formed the subject of his address. It gave news of the organization of a White League in Johannesburg, South Africa, similar to the Ku Klux Klan in America, for the purpose of keeping native men from intermingling with white women. This news, Mr. Sherrih observed, was interesting to the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, because we represent an organization that is interested in anything that affects the Negro and his progress. The white race, he said, was resisting to every possible means to dominate the world and stem the progress of other races, and the activity of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, were an attempt on the part of the Negro who has suffered most under white domination to at least keep African blacks and save it from the designing hand of the white race to make it like the other parts of the world, a which man's country. In this night, he said, the aim of force of the Negro was necessary, home he urged all members of the Negro race to throw their lot in with the Universal Negro Improvement Association to the end that Negro shall some day become the house of a great Negro government.

speaker and, having just returned from the field, spoke of the enthusiasm displayed by the members of the various divisions he had visited. He had the opportunity, he said, of discerning whether the great outpouring of people came from idle curiosity or whether there is something real and gonking behind it—whether there is a great awakening of Negroes throughout the world since the great suffering of the President General. And remaining in Pittsburgh a week, he found there is a real foundation behind this awakening, because people who once criticized the Universal Negro Improvement Association—the so called Intelligentsia, are now clamoring to come into the organization as never before. Hon. J. W. Slappy, Commissioner of the Universal Negro Improvement Association for some of the Southern States, was the last speaker. He spoke interestingly and injected bits of humor into his talk which kept the audience of a joyful mood.
Following is the text of the speeches:
HON. WILLIAM SHERRILL SPEAKS
HON. WILLIAM SHERRILL SPEAKS
Hon. William Sherrill said:
I should like to read a bit of information from Johannesburg, South Africa.
*Ku Klux Klanism in South Africa
African World Service, Oct. 24-4. A White League, an organization similar to the Ku Klux Klan in America, has been formed here to keep native men from intermingling with white women. Unfortunately, there is a heavy illicit traffic between European males and native females," says a reporter commenting on this, "and this is reflected in the fact that the natives' color is changing. Every year the colored birth rate is increasing, especially in Johannesburg. The evil has crept into the natives' own natural habitat; for in the back fields many European storekeepers have as many as two and three native wives and in some instances more."
This bit of news coming from Johannesburg, South Africa, is interesting to use of the Universal Negro Improvement Association because we represent an organization that is interested in anything that affects the Negro, and especially his progress in this day and time. There was a time when news of this nature did not interest Negroes in America so very much; there was a time when news of this kind did not interest Negroes in the West Indies to a great extent. They regretted such happenings; they sympathized with the natives in Africa; but they were not spurred with a desire to assist and help until they had been awakened by the propaganda of the Universal Negro Improvement Association.
Negroes the Victims of White Domination
Those of you who are here for the first time should understand that the Negroan the Universal Negro Improvement Association tells that whatever affects Negroes in one part of the world whether it be the West Indies or America, Central and South America or Africa, it affects Negroes in all parts of the world (Applause). The Negro watches especially such things as this, because he, as no other race group, has been the victim of suffering at the hands of white civilization. White civilization almost overnight has spread over the world—has dominated everything—and the world moves now practically at the dictation of the white man. This has all taken place in about the space of 100 years. A hundred years ago the white man was practically confined to Europe and America; but with the rapid increase of scientific inventions; with the rapid increase of new discoveries of all kinds; with the bringing into being the steamship and the locomotive, the white man has used these agencies to spread his power to all parts of the world, until now he stands an undisputed lord, you may say of the universe. He has his hands on Australia; he has his hands on India; Egypt is under his control as well as practically the whole of Africa. He dominates South and Central America; he owns the West Indies and Hayti, and has the yellow and the brown people
of the world pushed off to their little territories in Asia and the Pacific, and now he wields his power to suit his own wishes.
There is no other race group, as I said, which has suffered from this sudden rise to power of the white man more than the black man. He has suffered in the West India, where he has been reduced to such a low economic status until it is difficult for him to make himself independent. In America he has been the victim of lynch law, segregation and Jim crowism. And the Negro has suffered up to 1814, separately. I might day. But the war opened his eyes; he begins to suffer collectively now. In this suffering the Negro has realized that his ability to extricate himself from the condition in which he finds himself depends upon his ability to organize and work co-operatively together.
We find not only has the white man dominated all parts of the world, but we find that he works feverishly in an effort to make the world a white man's world. That is the thing the Negro fears more than anything else. The Negro knows Just about what he can expect from white civilization; he knows just about what he can expect from white domination. For that reason the Negro of the Universal Negro Improvement Association is organizing to protect himself from this white world domination. The white man after dominating the world is attempting at this time to hold what he has got.
The Meaning of the League of Nations
That is the only meaning of the League of Nations. The League of Nations is simply a shrewd instrument for white world power to hold what it has already got. They feel if they can come together now in the League of Nations; saying "let us live like brethren" saying "let us arbitrate and not light over certain things; let us put down our swords since we have got everything." it will be an easy rattle through these strategies to hold what they have got by force of arms, thereby rendering it impossible to weaker nations who happened not to have made themselves strong enough physically to throw off the oppression. That is the only meaning of the Disarmament Conference. That is the meaning of all the talk that you have heard recently by statesmen who have come from Europe to the United States. They come now in the interests of humanity saying that the time has come for white men, especially in England and America, to unite their forces in order to preserve civilization. The preserving of civilization simply means, in other words, the domination of the world. It reduces itself down to just what the Ku Klux Klan means here in America—white supremacy.
Now what has happened in South Africa? The white man having come in contact with the natives - the white man having allowed, the native to work in his factories and in his hives and having permitted the native to come close in contact with him until the native has learned to do things, as the white does them. He has learned that when reason fails organized force is the best way to get justice; he has learned that those things that are good for the white man are also good for him, though he be native. And now the white man in order to stop and curb the aspiration of the native has organized in Johannesburg, South Africa, a Ku Klux Klan to put down the progressiveness of the native Africans. That is not the only thing that is happening there. Those of you who have read Mr. Plattes's book know of the dampable conditions under which the natives in South Africa are compelled to live - not even allowed in own their own lands. At least 50 per cent. of all the territory in South Africa is owned by Europeans, who have either come in or were born there. The natives can buy land only in certain restricted districts. The natives are being pushed back on reservations like the Red Indian in America. That depicts what the white man has done and will do to make this a white man's world.
To Make Africa Black.
The activity of the Universal Negro Improvement Association is simply an activity on the part of Negroes who have suffered under white domination in America, in the British empire, and in the French colonial possessions. They are determined that all the world will not be made white; at least, that Africa will be made black. (Applause) The Universal Negro Improvement Association is simply an organization that has come forward saying, "It shall not be; it shall not be." We in the Universal Negro Improvement Association know no colors. We know that our race has been much mixed everywhere, since we have come in contact with the white man, particularly in America, the West Indies and Africa; therefore, we know no colors; we are fighting for Negroes of all colors and of all denominations. We are welcoming into our organization all those who believe that Negroes, like any other race group, should be able to work out their own destinies and be able to give to the world their own art, their own philosophy, their own culture, their own civilization and take their place in the world alongside other races and other nations.
U. N. I. A. Misundértood.
We have been much misunderstood; we have been much misrepresented, but we have not suffered so very much by this misrepresentation, and this misunderstanding. The knocks that the Universal Negro Improvement Association has had; the criticisms that it has had thrown upon it; the oppoiojfions with which we have had to contend, have simply served to make this great association what it is today. The Uni-
versal Negro Improvement Association would not have been what it is today were it not for the many knocks, criticisms and oppositions that it has had to come up against.
Organization Has Thrived Under Op- position
So we welcome the fight. As Hon. Marcus Garvey said, we have not yet begun to fight. The organization is now entrenching itself and getting ready for the big fight that is ahead and we are asking that if there are any here tonight who desire to become members of this great organization, you can do so by coming to the table and enrolling with the secretary.
This organization in finality is one that believes in black men-doing for themselves without sitting down and waiting and expecting other races to do for them. We represent an organization of self-help. This organization is supported wholly by Negroes. We ask no help from any outside forces, for we realize that those who pay the fiddler generally demand that the fiddler play the tune they select. We of the Universal Negro Improvement Association are not disposed to play any tunes but those selected by black men. (Applause). If you feel that such a movement is worthy of your support, you are at liberty while the speakers are speaking so come quietly to the table and turn your names in to the secretary.
SIR ROBERT L. POSTON'S ADDRESS
Sir Robert L. Foston, Secretary General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, was the next speaker. He said:
"About a month ago I left New York in company with the President-General and party and went as far as Pittsburgh. Pa. After hearing the great address of the President-General on that night and after witnessing the great outpouring of people, I was told goodbye by the President-General, who was on route to California, but I had the opportunity of discovering and seeing whether the great outpouring of people came from the curiosity or whether there is something real and genuine behind it, whether there is a great awakening of Negroes throughout the world since the great suffering of our President-General. And remaining in Pittsburgh a week I found there is a real foundation behind this awakening, because people who once criticised the Universal Negro Improvement Association, the so-called intelligence-are now clamoring to come into the organization as never before.
On the Field
"In Pittsburgh we got to the hall at 7:15 and a great time every seat in the hall had them taken and be a lookout more than two thousand people were trained away, there being no seats to accommodate them. So that gives you some idea of conditions on the field. After remaining in Pittsburgh a week I left and went to my native State of Kentucky, where for several weeks I labored in the Louisville Division. I was there on Columbus night, and I delivered to the citizens of Louisville a Columbus night address, and something that Mr. Sherill said tonight leaded me to touch somewhat upon some things that I mentioned during the course of that address. Mr. Sherill is absolutely right. The white man is determined to make this world his fountain, unless we can awaken the Negroes to the power and the force in organization such as is found in the Universal Negro Improvement Association.
Discovery of America
"To give you some idea of the arrogance of this white man, he says Columbus discovered America. Think of the arrogance and presumption of this man. He admits when he came to this country there were hundreds of thousands of Indians, but America was not discovered until the blue-eyed white man behold it. I deny Columbus the right, of discovery of the United States of America. The young Indian saw the danger of this shrewd and calculating white man and he said to his father, 'Father, I don't think this white man means us any good.' And the old man said, 'Oh, he is all right. Let us bring him to our table, let us make of him a friend.' But the little Indian, seeing things, feeling the abuses the white man inflicted even upon his near relatives and sometimes his sisters, stole out in the dark of the night and returned with the scalp of this white man and laid it down at the feet of his father. And his father said, 'Son, that is a cruel thing. Do not do that any more.' But the young Indian said, 'Father, whenever this
white man grows in strength he will be a different animal toward us, and we must prepare for that day.
The Humility Poison
"You know the white man came to America, preaching Jesus to the Indians, preaching meekness and humility. And why should he not preach meekness? There was just a dozen of them and a million Indians. He did not want any more fight injected into the proud, fighting Indian, but he wanted to preach surrender to him so that eventually he could claim this land for his own, and the few white men that landed on it to one hundred, then to one thousand, and to one hundred thousand, and then they no longer preached the doctrine of meekness, but began to fight the Indians, and the danger that the young Indian feared became real and the fight became more bitter, until eventually the white man killed the Indian and buried him in the land of his nativity. And today Indians are rare. Hundreds of thousands of them once roamed in freedom where we sit, tonight, but now we will pay a big price in a circus show to look at an Indian. That gives you some idea of the white man. He came here quietly, he has dominated America, he has killed the Indian and made it his own home.
Incident at the Museum
"During the summer I visited the Hispanic Museum here in New York in company with a young lady. There is one department there devoted to the study of the American Indian. Everything the Indian did seems to be represented there in some form. There is the Indian's tomahawk, there is his canoe, there is the bow and arrow, there are the little cooking utensils—everything the Inclan did and had is in some measure represented at this Hispanic Museum. But as we stood there there came up behind us a party of people—an old gentleman, a middle-aged lady, a boy of 10 or 20 and two girls. They were not exactly white people and I began to wonder what they were. A little close scrutiny led me to see that though they had white blood in their veins the nose represented the Indian. The young man, the young Indian, as he observed the fading glory of a once great people, from which he came, seemed to clench his fist right at his side, and as I saw him go through this action I said to myself, Young man, had your foreparents wrought widely years ago there would be some power in that clenched fist, because they did not listen to the young prophets who prophesied against this day there is absolutely no force or power behind that clenched fist, and the white man does not fear you."
A Note of Warning
"But, as I observed that, I thought of this race of mine and I thought that unless we be carried ourselves today eventually we will occupy in America and even in our motherland Africa the position that this American Indian occuper. The white man is spreading himself the threat of Africa play by play, he is killing our men and prostituting our women; wherever he is going he is carrying power and the glory of the white man. But we have a prophet just as the young Indian prophesied in days gone by. The Hon. Marcus Ghevy is sounding a note of warning to black men throughout the world. Don't you think it can be done, unless we ourselves Africa will be depopulated of black men, and in the next ninety or one hundred years the white man would be talking about what a Negro looked like."
"I was very pleased with what I saw upon the field. I saw a great turning in this program, a goal and a group interest, manifested wherever I went. I found men who were willing to sweep and to die by the principles of this movement, not only desirous of giving us his service but they were willing to dig down and share of their means in order that the great dream of this leader may become a reality and Africa may be redeemed for the four hundred million Negroes of the world." (Loud applause.)
J. 6. SLAPPY SAYS GOOD BYE
Hon. J. S. Slappy, Commissioner, was the next speaker. He said he was there to say good-bye. On the morrow he would be leaving New York City for the South to continue his labors. He was proud to see the manifestations of intolerance and仇恨ism that evening in Liberty Hall, and untrusted everybody was serious. He could assure them that where he labored every one was in deed earnest.
He would talk to them for a brief while about fighting. He was a greatighter. He believed in fighting. He believed in fighting at any time at any place, so long as his rights were involved. Changing from the darkness to the light did not take away his fighting spirit. One reason why he had such a deep regard for the founder of the movement was because he was a man of absolutely fearless spirit. Marcus Garvey knew no fear, where the interests of the race were involved. He was not afraid to die, and that was as it should be, for no leader who was not unafraid to die was fit to lead into great race.
"Better Off Tornorrow"
Continuing, Mr. Slappy said if the white man thinks that he is going to continue to tell Negroes to be patient, that they will be better off next year, he is mistaken. He (Mr. Slappy) intended to give him the lie to his face. As the Hon. Secretary-General' had said, the white man's aim was to wipe out, Negroes. Dr. Evans, Imperial Wizard of the Ku Khuz Klan, had come out in the open and told Negroes plainly where they stood: (It made his blood boil to read the lying mischievous statements made by Dr. Evans, and he felt like seeking him out and making
him submit to a superiority test by matching his strength against his.
Praying and Singing
"The time has come," the speaker continued, "when we must act like men, when we must protect our women, and, where I come from, the men are determined to avenge every insult proffered to their womenfolk. (Applause.) We are going to fight like other races are fighting. We are going to fight as the Frenchman fighters for France, as the Englishman fighters for England, as the German fighters for Germany. The white man is trying to make this a white world, and if you sit down and grin he will do it. Today you can't get into Heaven unless you go through the white man. (Laughter.) We are tired of that kind of thing. We can't go to church and be recognized, unless we see a white man in our dreams. (Laughter.) It is all damnable lies, vile propaganda. I heard a preacher say this afternoon. We must preach more and the pray more and sing more. That is the preacher are fighting. Think of it. A preacher telling the people to keep on praying, keep on singing, and after a while you will put on the long, white robes, you will wear the starry crown. We have to fight that damnable spirit. God is displeased with us. Stop thinking about long white robes and think of the things that matter. Improve yourselves and your condition. They tell you God is white; they take their image after God; servants obey your masters as unto the Lord—the white man. That is not. If they hit you on one cheek turn the other. I know if any man hits me on one cheek I am going to put my hammer on him as hard as I can. The Negro must recognize all this humanity. What have we got for you? We have got hell. Negroes must stop believing that God intends them to wear the cross on this earth forever so that they may get the crown hereafter. God does not intend Negroes to wear the cross always. If you accept that you will be slaves for the balance of your lives."
Stand Fast
Mr. Stapp ended with a word of encouragement to his heart. He pointed out that it mattered not how long it took the race to become fully prepared to wage a stern fight for their delivery, when once they were prepared delivery would quickly come. Preparation was the best job. Negroes must be self-reliant. The Negroes must expect little help from the white man or any one else. He had seen a Negro golfer return from the world war to Atlanta, Ga. He was ordered to take off the uniform he wore. He refused and was shot down. That was the reward the Negro got for fighting the white man's battles. Negroes must be prepared to fight their own battles in the future. He appealed to Liberty Hall to right on. Stand fast, no matter what the critics might say, and with one voice say, "We will have liberty or death." (Load appliance.)

A successful convention which lasted three days was held by the Camaguey Division of the U. N. I. A. The attendance at the business sessions was fair while at nights the mass meeting attracted large numbers which filled the hall to its utmost capacity. Delegates from various U. N. I. A. division and secret societies were present and rendered real service in the proceedings. The names of the delegates are: Mr. F. A. Francis, Macao Lodge; Mr. Fitzgerald Greenidge, president of the So division; Mr. John Bernard, vice president of the Ciego de Avila division; Mr. H. Wind of the Florida division; Mrs. Hilda Allen, of the Shepherd Social; Mr. C. A. Mullings, from the Eatrella Lodge; Mr. S. Francis, from Macani; Mr. S. Sims, from Manatti, and Mrs. M. Shaw, from the Shepherd Social.
The convention was, opened with Divine service, which was conducted by our worthy chaplain, Mr. Seymour, who preached an eloquent sermon, taking his text from the first verse of the 133d Psalm. He urged the members and visiting delegates to be calm and considerate in their discussions and to keep in their minds the one important thing—the redemption of Africa. At the close of the sermon, the convict was declared open for business.
The items on the agenda were dealt with in a manner which reflected gift credit upon the intelligence of the members of the local. The Nurviya division was unable to send a delegate, but they very generously sent a contribution to the Convention Fund along with a few suggestions, which were adopted. On the last night of the convention a garden party was given in honor of our invited guests and an enjoyable time was spent by all the members and friends of the division. H. ANGUS.

MAKE THE MOST OF LIFE WHERE YOU’ ARE
| VERY great many people have striven to make it appear that
A ‘Mr. Marcus Garvey is concerned only in the building up
of a Negro State in Africa, with little regard for thé Condi.
tion, the just rights.aud the opportunities of those whg/are living
nider the flags 6f other nations, in Africa and, necehests and they
have so striven for the express-purpose ‘of injuring Mr. Garyey and
the Universal’ Negro’ Improvement Association, ‘Titey have also
spread abroad the falsehood that Mr. Garvey expects all Negroes
to return ‘o Africa some of these days. In his address at Kansas
City, as reported-in’ Mry: Garvey's article in-another column of ‘The
Negro World today, she quotes Mr. Garvey as follows:
“We are efideavoring, therefore,.to bring this: great, scattered
mass of people together for the purpose of founding and estab-
lishing @ nation, a. government, of our own in Africa, just as the
Jewg and Irish are doing; and jist’ as the Colonists did here. We
are‘Jooking towards freedom. We are looking-towards a wider
democracy that will give every man the same chance, regardless
_of color. All of us are not going to Africa to build that govern- |
ment—just as all Irishmen are not going to Ireland to establish
a Free State; just as all Jews are not going to Palestine to es-
tablish a Zion. You can remain right here and support it
morally and financially.” 7 . :
This statement is clean cut enough to set at rest any doubts as t6|
where Mr. Garvey stands upon this vital question of building up
2 government of our own for Negroes in. Africa, and while doing so’
to make the most of life in the places where we ure, under whatever
ag we may be subjects or citizens. By following this sensible
course, those who want {6 returri to .\frica will have a government
of their own to go to, while those who would rather remain in the
countries where they find themselves will, by ‘making the most,
politically and economically of their opportunities, be in the strongest
possible position to help, financially and morally, those who de want
1o return to the Motherland. The Jews everywhere spend and are
spent, morally and financially, iri helping to redeem Palestine, and
we should work with equal devotion and sacrifice to redeem Airica.
And what a wofk it is of Hope, of Redemption, of Rehabilitation,
f Ultimate Refuge in any time of trouble!
DISMEMBERMENT OF GERMANY
© blameshould attach to France for desiring and aiding ad
abetting the dismemberment of the German Empire. It
may be all wrong to-destroy a nation, if you can, but it
depends upon the viewpoint. If you find that your acighbor is bent
upon destroynig you, and comes: out of every defeat as well as vic~
tory with that purpose predominant in his conduct, you will nat-
urally get tiréd of that sort of thing, and. when you have the ad-,
vantage, you will strive to so: cripple him, even if yon must destroy
him, as to make it impossible for him to destroy you. ‘The warfare
between Germany and France is age-long, and irrepressible. When
Gefritany had the advantage of France she did-all that she could to
crush her, and when she failed tu do it in the war of 1870 she began
all over to-prepare for a war that would do it, and she Would have
done it in the World War if Great Britain, Italy, Belgiuim and the
United States had not prevented it.
Now France has the advantage of Germany, and in secking to|
dismember the German Empire, to permanently ‘cripple it, France
snly acts upon'the law-of Self-prescrvation. Whether the-Mlies will
continue to stand by consenting; while France works the dismember-
ment, is a question upon which depends another gigantic and dis-
tressing’ war, or peace. : :
France stands out as the only Christian-power which has shown
a disposition to give the Negro people who are her citizens or her
colonists some sort of a man’s chance in the large as ‘well as the
small affairs of government, and on that account our sympathies are
with France. - é .

“BLACK AND- ‘WHITE: KLAN, MENACE IN
LSAT ARRICA,
; T will -be news, more or less startling, to the readers of Lhe
] Negro ‘World that-the prostitution of black women by white
‘AL Englishmen and Dutchmen in the Union of South Africa has
gone so far as to be perceptible in the native people by 2 changing of
_their_color.. We gather as much from the extraordinary interview,
reprinted in’ another coltimn of The Negro! World today;-and ‘taker
from Absrite-Batho,-a newspaper printed-in the Bantu and English
languages at-Johannesburg, Union of South-Africa, by Mrs: Char-
slotte M. Maxeke, a Bantu woman, a graduate of Wilberforce Univer-
sity, Who is engaged in social uplift work among her people; and
—who has the-intelligence and courage which commands respect and
eqepels the “attention“of those-concerned. F
‘Mrs, Maxeke shows that the allegation that native shales are, he-
--coming-familiar with white women and that the whites haye srgan-
ized_a'sort of Ku Klux Klar to punish them outside of {ne law not,
only is due to the familiarity of the .white women’ with the black
.young men whom they employ as house serv2ats and allow access
to the privacy of their bed rooms, but that the threat of the white
men to use the methods of thie Klan £¢ punish the alleged offenders
is bound to lead to an organization ‘of native blacks to punish white
men for abusing native women,” Mrs. Maxcke tells us in the inter-
~view how far the white womgn.go in encouraging the-familiarity of
the young black mén and iow far the white men go in debauching
the native women and git}s, If white men undertake to punish black
men for their alleged offenses against white won(en, Mrs. Maxeke is
of the opinion ‘that bldck inen will organize to punish white men for
aoa Ma Tewvomen. “That is the inexorable logig of the matter.
‘The nasty: condition of affairs stated by Mrs, Maxeke reads ad Jf
it might apply wholly to the condition which prevailed in our South-
crn States before, during and after the Slaveholders’ Rebellion, when
the slaveholders, young and old, went to the extremes of brutality
in forcing slave women to be their mistresses, and did much to mulat-
toize the Negro people. These relations are maintained in. modified
way jn many of the Southern States even now, and the employment
of Negroes in domestic service, and the familiarity with which the
white women treat them, was and is much the same as the condi-
tion set forth by Mrs, Maxeke as existing in the Union of South
Africa. Southern white men get blue in the face when this state of
affairs is forced upon their attention in our Souther States and in
the. West Indies and Africa, but the hosts of off-color persons to be
found in all quarters of the globe where the trail of the white male
serpent has been inade rise up in the judgment to confuse and con-
denn them. ‘They may not like the éondition and the spiritual judg-
ment, but they have to accept it because they cannot help them-
selves. ‘They are their own judges because they made the offenses
fox which they are judged. .
White men, especially gf the English speaking branches, do not
hesitate to mingle their blood with that of black and red women, but
Ahey.refiise everywhere to marry such women or to recognize in any
way the children they beget by such women. Who is going to pay |:
for that sort of inhuman business? “Che offenders, of course, and]
they did not make the law that they violate and they cannot reach, |
browbeat nor bribe the judge who tries and apportions their punish-| 1
ment. It would.be to the advantage of white men everywhere if]
they shouldrespect black womanhood and childhood more than they |
have done or do, if they but knew it. 1
The Universal Negro Improvement Association respects the ||
womanhood and childhood of all races: it doed sq asta matter of |
principle, but it respects those of no other race more than it does |<
those of-its own, As it respects the womanhood and childliood -of |
other ‘races? it expects othér races to" extemd Tike ¥espect for’ their]
womanhood and childhood, and when they fail to extend it we should
demand the reason why, as the natives of South. Africa, as Mrs.|
‘Maxeke states it_are moving t6. demand it. Tf we do not respect our | ¢
own womanhood and childhood others will hot. And unless’ we
have a strong, virtuolis womanhood how can we have a strong, vir-| °

Bons and daughters of the future African government are being trained in a manner befitting new Negro thought. The Philadelphia division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association is determined to register favorably along this line, and have reorganised the Junior department, under the leadership of the lady president, Mrs. Cascie Moore, ably assisted by Mrs. Susan Dillard.
On last Sunday we visited this auxiliary at 604 E. Seventeenth street, and found many things pleasing to the eye and mind. There our Negro children are being trained in the principles of the organization, which foster a desire for a government of their own. In conjunction with these modern thoughts, they are being taught the scriptures, to read and properly conduct themselves. What impressed us most was the large number in attendance, and the earnest expression on the faces of these little tot.
True to the principles of this organization, such men as Marcus Garvey, Toussaint L'Overture, Fred Douglass, and Paul Lawrence Dunbar are frequently mentioned, and the work that is being and has been done is fully explained. Recitations of a racial nature are taught and such history as their little minds can absorb. Such a work as this in the city of Philadelphia is needed, and we see no organization other than the U. N. I. A. doing it. In the near future we are hoping to plan such an entertainment as will reflect credit upon the leaders of this auxiliary. Already we see enthusiasm and progress in the effort of reorganization.
Marcus Carvey and his principles of Negro uplift have brought about a decisive change in the psychology of this race. Today where there was chaos, we find peace and harmony. Where there was disunion, we find organization. Where there was doubt, hope has taken the place. Faith and confidence in Negro leadership, has given rise to an ambition that, henceforth, was lacking. The old are going to school; the middle aged, who before this were satisfied, are aspiring to greater things; the young are grow-

TORONTO, CANADA
The Toronto Division has been making rapid strides recently, judging from the large numbers which attend the Sunday evening meetings of the local. On Sunday, October 7, the meeting was called promptly to order at 3:30 by the president. After the singing of the opening ode, the Rev. Dr. J. Myers performed the devotional exercises, and the meeting was turned over to Mr. Maynard, an able and energetic young man. Mr. Maynard thanked the officers and members for the honor—they had done him in allowing him to preside at the meeting and his only fear was that he would not be able to fill the post as chairman with satisfaction. However, the able manner in which the chairman performed his duties convinced us that he had made no mistake in turning over the meeting to him.
The first speaker on the program was Mr. Mills, who gave us a wonderful address, taking as his subject "Faith." This inspiring talk by Mr. Mills was followed by an excellent solo rendered in his best style by Mr. Lovell, who had to answer several encores.
Other addresses and musical numbers followed, and an enjoyable and inspiring evening was brought to a close with the singing of the Ethiopian national anthem.
FLORIDA. CUBA
Florida Division celebrated its first anniversary, on Sunday, October 6, when a large crowd thronged our Liberty Hall to take part in the proceedings. The meeting was called to order by the president and then turned over to the chaplain to conduct the dovotional exercise, which being finished Bro. Campbell was installed as chairman and filled the position with satisfaction to all. After a forceful address by the president a report dealing with the activities of the local was read. As shown by the report the division was organized in 1921, but was unable to function until the latter part of 1922. Due to the loyalty of the members, who gave the officers their hearty support in the work of building up the division, Florida can today boast of a division second to none in the island of Cuba. We had a lengthy program consisting of songs, recitations, hand selections and addresses, all of which were thoroughly enjoyed by the audience. On Monday, October 7, a concert was successfully staged by the hard-working lady president of the division. The juveniles furnished the program and covered themselves with glory. The meeting was brought to a close with
BUFFALO, NEW YORK
The following is the report of our meeting held on Sunday afternoon at Liberty Hall by Division No. 73.
Our hall was comfortably packed when the meeting was called to order at 3:30 p.m. by our worthy president, Dr. T. M. Kakaza. The opening ode was sung, followed by prayer by the chaplain, after which a selection was rendered by the chair and a passage read from the book of Nehemiah. The president in a few well chosen remarks turned the meeting over to Mps. Leona Fronberger, who acted as mistress of ceremonies. An interesting and enjoyable program was then rendered and was highly appreciated by the audience. After several addresses and musical selections were given the president made an appeal for a liberal collection, which was right royally responded to. The singing of the Ethiopian anthem brought an enthusiastic meeting to a close, and every one left with the determination to keep up with the light for African redemption. S. WELCH.
CIEGO DE AVILA, CUBA
On Sunday evening, October 14, the Clego de Avilla Division held a very interesting mass meeting when Liberty Hall was filled to its utmost capacity, and an excellent program was arranged and presented to a very appreciative audience. All those who took part in the program acquitted themselves well, but special mention must be made of Master Griffiths, a boy of ten years of age, who inspired the audience with a stirring address. We feel sure that the race which can produce such boys must eventually win its way to freedom and victory. Mr. Boyce, the executive secretary, and Miss Sidney also gave us thoughtful address. We are pleased to report that the division is making rapid progress and it is our ambition to make the Clego Division second to none in the Cuban Republic.
Special Attention of Members
We find that a number of members are paying their dues in divisions and their secretary, whose duty is to send this money to headquarters, are not doing so. The members are thus by no fault of their own accord to become Sollicitant with the parent body. This is unfortunate, and to avoid this it is necessary for the members to see to it that each month the secretary of the division make a report to the membership, of all financial transactions in the division, including money sent to the parent body for dues and death tax. All members who are alive to their interests will see to it that this is done.
ROBERT L. POSTON,
Secretary: General.
WINSTON-SALEM, N. C.
We had a very enjoyable time at the meeting of the Salem Division at Symphony Hall on Just Sunday. Fully 500 people turned out to listen to the splendid program which was specially prepared for the occasion. The meeting opened with the singing of the hymn, "From Greenland's Ice Mountain" and prayer by the chaplain. The president gave the opening address, and was cheered to the echo for his forceful and sane interpretation of the "Objects and Alms" of the association. Several interesting and highly instructive papers were read by the members, after which the U. N. L. A. band rendered some choice musical selections which reflected great credit upon it. The speaker of the evening was their introduced and delivered one of the most powerful addresses yet heard in Salem. Mr. Maynard showed by his eloquence, irrefutable logic, and his masterly command of words to be an orator of no mean order.
We are glad to be able to report that the division has taken on new life and that we are making new members for the cause at every meeting.

The Black Cross Nurses of the Boston Division No. 36 have a very successful health demonstration recently under the careful supervision and direction of Miss Imbella Lawrence, head of the Black Cross Nurses in New York. Miss Lawrence paid a visit to Belle along with Sir Isaiah Moter for the purpose of instructing the nurses of this division. The hall was packed from end to end with an eager and enthusiastic crowd, which exhibited a keen interest in the proceedings.
The demonstration was given under the direct patronage of His Excellency Sir Eyre Hutson, K. C. M. G., governor of the colony, who graced the proceedings with his presence, and distributed the certificates. The following is the program rendered:
Processional. "Shine on Eternal Light"; open ode, "From Greenland's Lay Mountain"; prayer; overture, U. N. I. A. Band; "Brief Outline of the Program of the African Black Cross Society." by Miss Isabella Lawrence; "Demonstration on How to Change or Turn a Mattress With a Helpless Patient in Bed." by Nurses Campbell and Hill; violin solo, Mr. G. Squires; "A Brief Description of the Varieties and Symptoms of Hemorrhage, and Methods Used in Arresting Male," by Nurses Seay and Gibson; "A Short Talk on Home Hygiene," by Nurse Brooks; clarinet solo, by Mr. F.

GREENBURGH UN-
VEILS CHARTER
On Sunday, Oct. 21, the Greenburgh Division. No. 682, unvelled its charter before a large and representative gathering of Negroes. The occasion was one which will long be remembered for the impressive manner in which the proceedings were conducted.
After the preliminaries had been disposed of, the president gave a short and vigorous address, which was followed by a song by Master Tucker. A paper was then read by Miss Ethel Ware. We take this opportunity to congratulate her on the masterly way in which she handled the subject. At this stunt Mrs. Ednn Carter, local organizer, was introduced. She spoke on "The Power of Negro Women When Well Organized." Her address was impressive, bold and to the point, and certainly did much to inspire the women of the division to greater efforts. Mr. W. C. Franck, executive secretary of the Pittsburgh Division, was the principal speaker of the evening, and delivered an address that will long be remembered in this division. The speaker dwelt on international politics, and showed himself an ardent and capable worker in the cause Afrix. The meeting was brought to a close with the singing of the national anthem, followed by benediction.

*Most Subscribe News to Test Whether the Black Man Can Obtain Justice*
As was to be expected, Marcus Garvey has been found guilty by a jury of white men of using the United States mails to defraud. Many believe that the charge was only a sham to get Garvey with the hope of destroying his work. The whole thing seems to be inside up of an international plot which will shortly expose itself. Several Negro men and organizations have been parties to what some regard as a "frame-up," but Truth shall have a hearing.
An appeal must be taken to the highest courts of the land to further test justice; therefore, every Negro of loyalty and marthood is asked to subscribe to this fund.
The right for Africa's liberty is just begun; let us all help.

ON A TRIP FROM COAST TO COAST

Kansas City, Mo.
Kansas City, Mo., is noted for its large stock yards, being second to Chicago in this industry. Packing companies like Swift, Armour and Fowler do a large business there. The city has many iron foundries. It is also the home of the Sunshine biscuit. It is called the gateway to the West, and, because of its unique position, is a great railroad center. There are fourteen big freight stations. The round houses employ Negro mechanics who get from $4 to $6 per day, and laborers who get from $18 to $20 per week. An old Kanaan, in speaking of labor conditions, said: "Years ago Negroes held the very best positions in the city, but gradually the other fellow has been tightening down on us and employing Mexicans." There are 31,000 Negroes in this city. Quite a number of them are employed in the catchy names of their establishments, such as: "Sweet William's Coffee House," "Do Right Tailor Shop," "Dinty Moore's Barbecue Meats," and "Moonlight Inn." Rent is cheap. A six-room house in a nice locality is rented for $18 to $20 per month, and the homes are clean looking and cheerful. In the other city rents are even cheaper and a similar house can be rented for $13 to $15 per month.
Welcome by the Mayor
Sunday afternoon at 3:30 we attended the meeting at the Summer School Auditorium, in Kansas City, Kansas. The building was packed with people, the crowd outside being almost as great as the crowd inside. Mr. W. G. Wordon, the Mayor of the city, gave the welcome address. He spoke for twenty minutes. He said the words that attracted him most in the preamble to the constitution of the organization were "One God." He believed in one universal God, and that all humanity was God's children. He went on to explain the Biblical expression, "The Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man," and its every-day application, and, believe me, if that good Mayer would only go out and preach that doctrine to his white brothers as fervently as his Negro audience then Christ would be in Kansas, and soon cover the whole country. In closing he said, "On behalf of the 15,000 red-blooded white American of the city of Kansas, State of Kansas, in this the greatest country on God's green earth, I welcome you and your spendid wife, and I personally welcome you, because I welcome any leader or reformer in humanity's cause."
Mr. Garvey'a Address
My husband. In thinking the Mayor for his welcome address, said among other things:
"I was so pleased to hear the good Mayor of your city speak in the language of human brotherhood. Searching the universe over, I am convinced that if there were more humanitarians like good Mayor Gordon we would have a better world, but it is important that there are so few, and that why there are so many wars and conflicts we have in the world to face, we have but very few humanitarians, very few men of blood mind and souls, who regard us as one family and children of one common father. But things are so mixed up that is why we have first to bring back to his sober senses, before we can teach that larger brotherhood.
"I am not going to speak of city and municipal rights because we know where we are. No two communities are alike. There is good fellowship in Kansas and, a bad spirit in St. Louis. We are looking forward to a universal condition, and we are hoping to have some more like Kansas; but, in the meanwhile, the Universal Negro Improvement Association has searched the world over and discovered that because of our disorganization and our darkness other nations, treatment and robu of our rights. We are endeavoring, therefore, to bring this great scattered mass of people together without committing any outrage without disturbing the peace of the world, for the purpose of founding and establishing a nation and a government of, our own in Africa. Just as the Jamaica and the Irish are doing, and just as the colonists did here. We are looking toward freedom. We are looking toward a widger democracy that will give every man the same chances regardless of color. All of us are not going to Africa to build that government. Just as all Irishmen are not going to Ireland to establish a Free
State, just the same as all Jaws are not going to Palestine to establish a foe, but you can, remain right here and support them financially. Secondly, Granny
"I am not preaching a doctrine of injustice. I am preaching a doctrine of justice and love to all humanity. We believe in human rights. We believe in an equitable division of the things of the earth for all mankind—yellow, white and black. Half for you and half for me, and if anybody thinks that he is going to take all the sweets of this world and give us only the bitter, then he makes a big mistake. Somebody is crazy. Some of us are unreasonable to expect too much of white people. Some of us expect that the white people are Christians and are going to give up to us the best of everything. Our education, and our new ambition, we demand the biggest of the Nation. We are seeking to be president of the nation, mayor of cities, police, captains of defensives, and you know that never be. We will have to wait until Gabriel blows his horn and the Negro's ambition cannot wait so long. We will never be able to realize our ambitions in this country. We live under a constitution that guarantees the greatest good for the greatest number, and you don't want me to tell you who is in the majority.
"What are you going to do with the ambitious black boy and girl in industry, society and in politics? What are you going to do when placed in competition with others? Don't you know that the weak is bound to go under? That is why the Universal Negro Improvement Association, with a deep sound desire in endeavouring to build for the Negro a country of his own in Africa, so that he can rise to the highest in government, without coming in contact and competition with the other fellow. That is the only solution to the vexed question of races. The ministers as we are we are applying to the liberal misled white men and deep thinking Negroes to come to a global understanding of the problem."
At 8:30 p.m. another meeting was held at the same auditorium and was also largely attended. Among the speakers were the sheriff, a white man, who tried to tell the audience that he had been chosen by a majority of colored people and he was endeavouring to place colored men on his staff.
surveying
In the afternoon of the 8th we had a delightful drive of 29 miles through the country to Davenport. Unfortunately, we had to catch the train at 6:15 p.m. and could only get as far as the State prison, the Federal prison being fourteen miles farther. How ever, my husband was well pleased with the place and its surroundings and showed me a nice little three-room bungalow that I will have to call home in case he is forced to spend five years' vacation in the pen.
The car broke down as we peaceed the city on our return and we had to get another and hurry-scoury to the their own years in Kansas-scavvy station. By the way, a lady drew us a number of colored lady drive Kansas.

THE NEGRO WORLD. SATURDAY. NOVEMBER 3. 1923
Labor Maravillosa de Otras Razas en la Construcción de America—Ejemplo Para la Nuestra en la Reconstrucción de Africa—Poder y Radicalismo de Ciertas Asociaciones Secretas—Directores Que Tratan de Engañar al Pueblo en Todas las Epocas
A fin de refrescar la memoria del pueblo negro, hemos de recordar que hace trescientos años, el negro vivia en su tierra; la raza blanca dejando, sus hogares en Europa se introdujo en el Africa, posicionan dose de millares y millones de nativos; a quienes se encuentran disponiendo de ellos como esclavos.
Allá en la costa americana del Pacífico hemos presentido, con alarma pero con esperanza, el futuro de nuestra raza. Arribando a aquella región de America, después de una jornada de varias semanas desde el este del país, hemos observado las maravillas realizadas por medio del entendimiento, arriesgo y perseverancia del hombre blanco. A cada instante nos pusimos en contacto con su adelanto en civilización, la cual mantendrá como un santuario para su generación en el presente y en el futuro.
Este cautiverio duró 250 años en el continente americano y 230 en las Antillas.
El negro llegó a obtener su enancipación en los Estados Unidos por el Presidente Lincoln, no porque fuera de su deseo el ayudar a muestra raza, sino para adquirir el éxito a que el aspiraba en aquellos momentos de desvastación y muerte, cuando su trono temblaba como las hojas de una palmera, en medio de vientos huracanados, circunstancia por la cual gran mandadario se vió obligado a recurrir a la fuerza, habilidad del negro, para que este cooperara a la realización del triumfo.
En nuestro recorrido a través del continente, hemos cruzado el baluarte de la organización secreta de blancos tal vez mas poderosa que afronta el país, cuyo programa reciba la aceptación de casi todo su elemento. Esta organización secreta ha cementado sus bases en el sur, en el oeste y en el noroeste de la nación y será simplemente una cuestión de muy poco tiempo cuando ella se convierta en el instrumento más poderoso de la raza blanca, en la persecución de su ideal-la superioridad del hombre blanco en los Estados Unidos de America.
La Reina Victoria de Inglaterra hae ochenta y cinco años firmo una proclama de emancipación, libertando a centenares de miles de esclavos en sus posiciones del nuevo mundo. La abolición de la esclavitud no fue un acto voluntario de parte del nombre blanco. En los Estados Unidos fue una medida de guterra; en las Antillas fue una necesidad económica.
Nuestra organización nunca ha luchado ni intenta luchar en contra de la política de la asociación secreta en referencia, ni de ninguna otra sociedad en el país, acepción de que unidas estas, luchen en contra nuestra por superioridad. La Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra está comprenetrada de que America será siempre un país para blancos, incluyendo todos los elementos de su raza, llámense semitas, católicos o lo que fueren. Porqué entonces perder tiempo intentando lo imposible y dar a los demás la oportunidad de que, con un fracaso por nuestra parte, se nos tilde de ignorantes y se nos conceptue como el hazme reir en la evolución de los grandes acontecimientos humanos?
Roma no-fue edificada en un dia, y por consiguiente no puede ser realizada en una hora la obra de reconstrucción de nuestra raza; pero más firmeses de día en dia, tenemos en mira siempre la visión de la emanipación de la raza negra y la redención del Africa. Los pesimistas condenan las esperanzas de una nueva Africa, resucitada de lascenizas del pasado, pero esta actitud no es exstacionada en esta era de intranquilidad universal.
Africa! Mentira! Tú no estás en decadencia, como diceen: estás estacionada cual crisalida; más cuando rompas la ruinosa carcel en que yaes cautiva, cuatrocientos millones de tus hijos, por la grazia sobre el glauco vergel del universo lleno de luz, extenderas tus alas.
La responsabilidad de la salvación de nuestra raza descansa en la honestidad de sus actuales directores y a nosotros como parte integrante de ella queda el entendimiento de que cualquier antagonismo de un grupo de este pueblo americano, en posición de poner en vigor su politica, redundaria en desventaja nuestra por el hecho de constituir la minoria y estar rodeado por el noventa por ciento de tales sentimientos. Nuestra relación con ellos es comparable con la relación entre el león y el cordero; tendremos que ser muy precavidos en nuestros pasos para no caer en sus garras y ser devorados.
Los que de ti se burlan, nada saben! Quien a ti se atreve, y duda de tu gloria, y tu pujanza, es porque tal vez, ignora que cres archivo legendario de la fama, fuente de inspiración, una florida del robusto ingenio y tilosofo Sierates, hijo de una nigra, cuvo nombre ha pasado a la posteridad, como un modelo de jurídica templata en las investigaciones y de moralidad en la conducta; y sea cual fuere la exageración que en las narraciones, se haya podido introducir, que resulte cierto que Sierates ejerció gran urinijo en la direccion, de la ilofoia griega, y que su fama fue respetida, en los tiempos, posteriores, triunfes que no se alcanzan, sino con cualidades, enimientos.
La solución de este gran problema está a cargo del Negro mismo, constituyéndose en poder, pues ningún blanco o grupo de blancos ha de entregarnos la civilización y materialismo de America, después de haber utilizado para su adquisición todas sus energías. Si este grupo de blancos intenta convertir America en un país exclusivamente para blancos, cuatrocientos millones de Negros unidos podrián mas facilmente convertir el Africa en su país exclusivo, salvando así un conflicto de ideales y aspiraciones los cuales resultarian en un final desastroso.
- El espinón de materialización del presente siglo, y medio las aspiración y la interacción de las razas y de las naciones, que los ideales humana alejan más y más de la realización, pero no deliens por tales circunstancias sepulgar o destruir privado, por sagradores, por la netitud amenable de la edad en que vivimos.
Edifiquemos nuestro propio hogar en nuestra propia tierra; constituyamos nuestra propia nación organizando nuestro propio gobierno, pues dentro del perijo de cien años mas y tal vez en menos tiempo, ni Europa ni America han de tolerarnos en su campo de competencia. Con la misma o mayor determinación que este grupo de blancos lucha por su ideal, el cual conceptuan como una posibilidad, luchemos nosotros en pro de la realización del nuestro-Africa para los africanos-do nuestra raza tendrá la oportunidad de elevarse al punto mas culminante en sociabilidad, en industria y en gobierno, único medio para demandar el respeto a que ella es acreciora.
Las simaciones o el cuarentena no pueden salvarse por si mismas, y por lo mismo esta labor, queda a cargo de la humanidad conciente. La responsabilidad de la obra que pesa sobre nosotros no se reduce simplemente a una identificación con los proyectos e ideales de los denials, sino a crear la solidaridad del ideal que proporciona o muestra unawill de felicidad limitada. El pueblo nigro carese de adelanto en todas las refuerzos; de adelanto social, educativo, industrial y adelanto político, circumstancias por las cuales se hace necesaria la creación de una solidaridad que le habilita por la conservación de confraternidad entre los propios y la competencia entre los extratos.
Nuestra organización advierte no solamente a sus miembros, sino a todo elemento de la raza el uso del buen sentido común, en el análisis de las prédicas de ciertos directores de profesión, cuya oratoria esta cubierta con el antifaz de la decepción y de la hipocrecia. En esta ocasion hacemos referencias a elementos de otras razas, ansiosos de honor y de poder, los cuales intentan tomarnos como instrumento en la realización de sus aspiraciones.
El mundo no esta en disposición de dividir por iguales partes los beneficios de su materialización; por el contrario cada grupo baja por su enlimiento costa a costa de aquellos que han perdido fec o ignoran el valor del esfuerzo humano, hacia la estabilidad de una existencia corona de satisfacción. El negro no tiene ninguna otra alternativa que la de continuar hacia adelante en la atmósfera de intrigas raciales luchando en pro de la generación del presente y proveyendo para la generación del futuro. En sus servicios a la raza, la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra, ha delineado, su programa; y en su ejecución o avance no tiene que ofrecer ni dar explicaciones. Es solamente de ignorantes el creer que los asuntos de la humanidad se desenvuelven por si mismo: Dios y el hombre son las partes integrantes en tales cuestiones.
Estos señores ambisiosos, en gran número en Norte America, nos dicen que debemos contrarrestar el programa de tal o cual grupo; que debemos luchar en contra de los métodos del gobierno ó en contra de la plataforma de tal ó cual partido politico, pero nuestra experiencia en la vida práctica nos determina que las consecuencias, en casos tales, seran funestas, no para el consejero sino para el ejecutor, toda vez que este forme parte de la minoria en la comunidad.
Aquellos que nos dicen lo que relamente sienten son vardaderos amigos; aquellos que ocultan su intención bajo el difraz de hermandad, filantropía y cristianismo, son los peores enemigos de la raza. Para encontrar los primeros tendriamos que, como Diógenes, esperar que el sol llegara a su senit y salir en su busca con una literna encendida; con los últimos podemos codearnos a cada instante, aún en las tenebrosidades de la noche.
El creador actua indiferente y sus
planes y propósitos son generalmente ejecutados por medio de la agencia de la acción humana. Ello no significa simplamente una prueba física, sino el esfuerzo universal e independiente de revestirse con la gloria que la maure-Naturaleza, ha conferido a todo ser humano. Toda raza, mación y pueblo ha tenido, tiene y tendrá sus días de gloria.
La historia esta llena de tales ejemplos: La Grecia de Pericles, convertida en provincia romana, conquistada por los turcos, sin libertad ni independencia hasta el siglo XIX hoy parece despertar y acaso vuelva a su gloriaosa existencia.
Roma la conquistadora; la vencadora de cartagineses y grieges; depósito del arte; contentración del poder humano; la duña del mundo con Octavio; se convierte en presa de los pertorianos, reacciona merced a Constantino y cae después en poder de los bárbados.
Teodorico conquista toda Italia, más el imperio no sobrevive al conquistador. Dividida y debilitada en los siglos XV y XVI, como la Belgica de epocas ulteriores, el campo de batalla de los ambiciosos de Europa. La Italia de nuestros días ha resucitado, se ha robustecido y vigorizado; pero por mala ventura es uno de los grandes pueblos que fue desangrado en el cruel déguílio que affligó al mundo hace cinco años.
Francia, sucesora de Galia, sonetida también por los romanos; ascienda a una grado de esplendor no requiero con. Carbomagno; baja sube, se eleva otra vez con Enrique IV, sufre el despotismo de Luis XIV el soberano más poderoso de entonces; decae de nuevo; experimenta la crisis más trascendentente entre las que han comovido al orbe civilizado, la por ANTOXOMASIA denominada Revolución Francesa; padece los trinuntos, las glorias, el desgreve desvestador de un estupendo loco a quien Europa somete a la camisa de fuerza de Santa Elena; obtiene la restauración y Luis Felipe y Napoléon III, respectivamente, adelantos morales de gran valia, es abatida en 1870 y 1801 pero posee una vitalidad magna que no la deja secumbir, appesar de nuevas dolerosas pruebas. exteriores e interiores. Señores:
¡Africa resurge! Si; resurge de la tumba de las desdichas que fueron como compensación natural y obligada de su antigua grandeza, madre de la civilización, como lo justica la grandeza de los pueblos de Egypt y Ethiopia. Africa dio existencia a cuatrocientos millones de hijos repartidos por el universo, que han servido a la humanidad entera y hoy día, al reunirse con fuerza irresistible, despejaran el paso tornillo-molde invencibles para guardar la entrada de su nativo eden.
La Revolución en Alemania
Los desordenes, con su tribado de muertos y heridos, continuan es todas partes de Albania. El jefe de policía y nueve oficiales, tuieron muertos en batalla con las tusfos en cefeld.
En Aix-le-Chapelle continua viñenta la batalla entre socorristas y gobiernistas. Los últimos trivieron que retirarse en la batalla que se libro por falta de municiones. En Berlin continúa la cala, el puerto no ofrece reiteración.

Los comunistas alemanes habam proclaimado la hudague general, pero ojetaron contra entender en que se limita al comercio de impuestos. Sajonia constituyen el factor más peligroso en la actual situación y se crece que de un momento a otro se presente el temido choque armado con Baviera. El primer ministro Zeigler de Sajonia, que llegó de Dresden, declinó que es posible que su provincia se salgade la confederación, violenta a ello el ejercito. Esta declaración (fué hecha a propósito del delo de cincuenta soldados del Reichswer para impedir toda revolución bolchevique en la ciudad roja de Alemania
Sajonia, dijo Zeigner, es la avanzada de la república contra la anuaza de la restauración de la monarquia. La tercera parte de las noticias sobre terrorismo por parte de los obreros sajones en los circulos industriales es una mejora y las otras dos tercipos partes son grandemente exageradas.
"El canciller Stresmann discutió en Hagen el establecimiento de un estado del Rifin dentro de la confederación de estados alemanes, según su supo de fuente exclusiva. Conferenció con representantes de todas las clases del pueblo giniano. De Bochum y Essen comunican que en el Ruhr se han presentado tumultos.
El general Leonard Wood hará una jira de propaganda por los Estados-Unidos contra la independencia de las Filipinas, si los planes actuales que se estudian del los altos funcionarios del gobierno se llevan a cabo. Sce que que una serie de conferencias por el general Wood, gobernador de las Filipinas, seria la mejor manera de combatar la campaña política dirigida por el presidente del senado Manuel Quezon y otros jefes de partido filipinos en favor de la independencia de las islas. El gobernador esta ansioso de presentar-ante el público norteamericano ciertos hechos acerca de las islas no conocidos generalmente y con los cuidados quiere demostrar que los filipinos no estan aptos para la independencia.
Partidarios del régimen de Wood alegan que durante el año pasado los filipinos gozaron de mayor prosperidad que nunca. Hacen hincapie en que mediante la flotación de un empréstito al cuatro y medio por ciento en los Estados Unidos, el peso tiene ahora igual valor que el dollar, mientras que hace dos años la moneda filipina tenia un quince por ciento de descuento. Ellos alegan también que de darse la independencia a los filipinos su gobierno serri pronto cogido en la red por el Japón, lo cual traeria graves complicaciones.
Altos funcionarios del gobierno apoyan al general Wood en este programa y estan aniosos de que exponga su opinión ante el público a fin de utilizar cualquiera crítica del gobierno que pudiera surgir de la campaña de los filipinos contra el gobernador.
Nueva Forma de Gobierno Para las Islas Virgenes
El senador Santiago Iglesias, una de los delegados de Puerto Rico a la conversion de la American Federation of Labor, presentó un proyecto de resolución que fue aprobado unanimemente a petición del comite que informó sobre ella, acerca de la organización de las islas Virgenes. La resolución aprobada fue passada al comité ejecutivo de la confederación para que adoptara la acción que creyeron conducente al propuesto. La resolución dice como sigue. Considerando: que los obreros de las islas Virgenes han requerido, por votación unanimie, que la American Federation of Labor pida al congreso de los Estados Unidos que organice y establezca una forma de gobierno civil en estas islas:

TENNESSEE NOTES
In Memphis the Chamber of Commerce has a committee on race relations, and many of the clubs are cooperating. A conference was held with the chief of police relative to the treatment of Negro prisoners, and the street car management was asked to put a ban on discounty toward Negro passengers. Decided improvement is reported in both regards. The Memphis committee is now planning a camp, pulkn, for a Negro orphanage. Excellent work is reported from Jackson, where the committee is well organized. Definite results have been achieved, also, in seventeen rural counties. More than a score of good school buildings have been erected.
Three significant meetings of the State committee were recently held, in Chattanooga, Nashville and Memphis. All were well attended and messages of good will and co-operation were delivered by representative leaders of both races. Among the distinguished speakers were P. L. Harned, State Commissioner of Education; J. B. Brown, State Rural School Inspector; Judge John H. DeWitt, prominent attorney; S. L. Smith of the Rosewall Fund; Mayor Palme and City Health Officer Durratt of Memphis; Berkshire Cohen, president of the News-Scientist Company; Ex-Mayor Thompson of Chattanooga. For the Negro group, J. C. Napier, veteran banker and business man; Dr. T. O. Fuller of Memphis; C. L. McAllister of Howard Hill School; President W. J. Hale of State A. and I. Normal; Dr. L. S. Patton; Rev. J. C. Sherrill and others.
According to estimates published in the Washington Daily News, there are 5,000 people in the nation's capital who are at present engaged in the lawful sale of whisky and other high-powered stimulants.
