A., 56 West 135th St., or Mrs. Marcus Garvey, 133 West 129th Street, New York By MARCUS GARVEY In "Current History" for September I was born in the Island of Jamaica, British West Indies, on August 17, 1887. My parents were black Negroes. My father was a man of brilliant intellect and dashing courage. He was unafraid of consequences. He took human chances in the course of life, as most bold men do, and he failed at the close of his career. He once had a fortune; he died poor. My mother was a sober and conscientious Christian, too soft and good for the time in which she lived. 'She was the direct opposite of my father. He was severe, firm, determined, bold and strong, refusing to yield even to superior forces if he believed he was right. My mother, on the other hand, was always willing to return a smile for a blow, and ever ready to bestow charity upon her enemy. Of this strange combination I was born thirty-six years ago and ushered into a world of sin, the flesh and the devil. I grew up with other black and white boys. I was never whipped by any, but made them all respect the strength of my arms. I got my education from many sources—through private tutors, two public schools, two grammar or high schools and two colleges. My teachers were men and women of varied experiences and abilities; four of them were eminent preachers. They studied me and I studied them. With some I became friendly in after years, others and I drifted apart, because as a boy they wanted to whip me, and I simply refused to be whipped. I was not made to be whipped. It annoys me to be defeated; hence to me, to be once defeated is to find cause for an everlasting struggle to reach the top. I became a printer's apprentice at an early age, while still attending school. My apprentice master was a highly educated and alert man. In the affairs of business and the world he had no peer. He taught me many things before I reached twelve, and at fourteen I had enough intelligence and experience to manage men. I was strong and manly, and I made them respect me. I developed a strong and forceful character, and have maintained it still. To me, at honie in my early days, there was no difference between white and black. One of my father's properties, the place where I lived most of the time, was adjoining that of a white man. He had three girls and two boys; the Wesleyan minister, another white man whose church my parents attended, also had property adjoining ours. He had three girls and one boy. All of us were playmates. We romped and were happy children playmates together. The little white girl whom I liked most knew no better than I did myself. We were two innocent fools who never dreamed of a race feeling and problem. As a child, I went to school with white boys and girls, like all other Negroes. We were not called Negroes then. I never heard the term Negro used once until I was about fourteen. At fourteen my little white playmate and I parted. Her parents thought the time had come to separate us and draw the color line. They sent her and another sister to Edinburgh, Scotland, and told her that she was never to write or try to get in touch with me, for I was a "nigger." It was then that I found for the first time that there was some difference in humanity, and that there were different races, each having its own separate and distinct social life. I did not care about the separation after I was told about it, because I never thought all during our childhood association that the girl and the rest of the children of her race were better than I was; in fact, they used to look up to me. So I simply had no regrets. I only thought them "fresh." After my first lesson in race distinction, I never thought of playing with white girls any more, even if they might be next door neighbors. At home my sister's company was good enough for me, and at school I made friends with the colored girls next to me. White boys and I used to frolic together. We played cricket and baseball, ran races and rode bicycles together, took each other to the river and to the seabeach to learn to swim, and made boyish efforts while out in deep water to drown each other, making a sprint for shore crying out "shark, shark, shark." In all our experiences, however, only one black boy was drowned. He went under on a Friday afternoon after school hours, and his parents found him afloat half eaten by sharks on the following Sunday afternoon. Since then we boys never went back to sea. "You Are Black" At maturity the black and white boys separated, and took different courses in life. I grew up then to see the difference in the races more and more. My STARTING A MOVEMENT IN OPPOSITION TO NEGROES WHO DO NOT WANT TO BE NEGROES A COUNTRY FOR THE BLACK MAN ATTEMPTS TO CAPTURE THE UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION schoolmates as young men did not know or remember me any more. Then I realized that I had to make a fight for a place in the world, that it was not so easy to pass on to office and position. Personally, however, I had not much difficulty in finding and holding a place for myself, for I was aggressive. At eighteen I had an excellent position as manager of a large printing establishment, having under my control several men old enough to be my grandfathers. But I got mixed up with public life. I started to take an interest in the politics of my country, and then I saw the injustice done to my race because it was black, and I became dissatisfied on that account. I went traveling to South and Central America and parts of the West Indies to find out if it was so elsewhere, and I found the same situation. I set sail for Europe to find out if it was different there, and again I found the same stumbling-block—"You are black." I read of the conditions in America. I read "Up From Slavery," by Booker T. Washington, and then my doom—if I may so call it—of being a race leader dawned upon me in London after I had traveled through almost half of Europe. I asked, "Where is the black man's government?" "Where is his King and his kingdom?" "Where is his President, his country, and his ambassador, his army, his navy, his men of big affairs?" I could not find them, and then I declared, "I will help to make them." Becoming naturally restless for the opportunity of doing something for the advancement of my race, I was determined that the black man would not continue to be kicked about by all the other races and nations of the world, as I saw it in the West Indies, South and Central America and Europe and as I read of it in America. My young and ambitious mind led me into flights of great imagination. I saw before me then, even as I do now, a new world of black men, not peons, serfs, dogs and slaves, but a nation of sturdy men making their impress upon civilization and causing a new light to dawn upon the human race. I could not remain in London any more. My brain was afire. There was a world of thought to conquer. I had to stay erect became too late and the work be not done. Immediately I boarded a ship at Southampton for Jamaica, where I arrived on July 15, 1914. The Uni- cial Negro Improvement Association and African Communities (Imperial) League was founded and organized five days after my arrival, with the program of uniting all the Negro peoples of the world into one great body to establish a country or government absolutely their own. Where did the name of the organization come from? It was while speaking to a West Indian Negro who was a passenger on the ship with me from Southampton, who was returning home to the West Indies from Bassutoland with his Basuto wife, that I further learned of the horrors of native life in Africa. He related to me in conversation such horrible and pitiable tales that my heart bled within me. Retiring from the conversation to my cabin, all day and the following night I pondered over the subject matter of that conversation, and at midnight, lying flat on my back, the vision and thought came to me that I should name the organization the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities (Imperial) League. Such a name I thought would embrace the purpose of all black humanity. Thus to the world a name was born, a movement created, and a man became known. I really never knew there was so much color prejudice in Jamaica, my own native home, until I started the work of the Universal Negro Improve- ment Association. We started immediately before the war. I had just returned from a successful trip to Europe, which was an exceptional achievement for a black man. The daily papers wrote me up with big headlines and told of my movement. But nobody wanted to be a Negro. "Garvey is crazy; he has lost his head." "Is that the use he is going to make of his experience and intelligence?"—such were the criticisms passed upon me. Men and women as black as I, and even more so, had believed themselves white under the West Indian order of society. I was simply an impossible man to use openly the term "Negro"; yet every one beneath his breath was calling the black man a Negro. I had to decide whether to please my friends and be one of the "black-whites" of Jamaica, and be reasonably prosperous, or come out openly and defend and help improve and protect the integrity of the black millions and suffer. I decided to do the latter, hence my offence against "colored-black-white" society in the colonies and America. I was openly hated and persecuted by some of these colored men of the island who did not want to be classified as Negroes, but as white. They hated me worse than poison. They opposed me at every step, but I had a large number of white friends, who encouraged and helped me. Notable among them were the then Governor of the Colony, the Colonial Secretary and several other prominent men. But they were afraid of offending the "colored gentry" that were passing for white. Hence my fight had to be made alone. I spent hundreds of pounds (sterling) helping the organization to gain a footing. I also gave up all my time to the promulgation of its ideals. I became a marked man, but I was determined that the work should be done. The war helped a great deal in arousing the consciousness of the colored people to the reasonableness of our program, especially after the British at home had rejected a large number of West Indian colored men who wanted to be officers in the British army. When they were sold at Negroes could not be officers in the British army they started their own propaganda, which supplemented the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. With this and other contributing agencies a few of the stiff-necked colored people began to see the reasonableness of my program, but they were firm refusing to be known as Negroes. Furthermore, I was a black man and therefore had absolutely no right to lead; in the opinion of the "colored" element leadership should have been in the hands of a yellow or a very light man (such thinly prejudices our race has been retarded. There is more bitterness among Negroes because of the caste of color than there is between an other people, not excluding the people of India. nceded to a great extent in establishing the association in Japan with the assistance of a Catholic Bishop, the Governor, Sir John Pringle, the Rev William Graham, a Scottish clergyman, and several other white friends. I got in touch with Booker Washington and told him what I wanted to do. He invited me to America and promised to speak with me in the Southern and other States to help my work. Although he died in the Fall of 1915, I made my arrangements and arrived in the United States on March 23, 1916. Here I found a new and different problem. I immediately visited some of the then so-called Negro leaders, only to discover, after a close study of them, that they had no program, but were mere opportunists who were living on their so-called leadership while the poor people were groping in the dark. I traveled through thirty eight States, and everywhere found the same condition. I visited Tuskegee and paid my respects to the dead hero, Booke Washington, and then returned to New York, where I organized the New York division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. After instructing the people in the aims and objects of the association, I intended returning to Jamaica to perfect the Jamaica organization, but when we had enrolled about 800 or 1,000 members in the Harlem district and had elected a political club. Political Factional Fight Seeing that these politicians were about to destroy my ideas, I had to fight to get them out of the organization. There it was that, I made my first political enemies in Harlem. They fought me until they smashed the first organization and reduced its membership to about fifty. I started again, and in two months built up a new organization of about 1,500 members. Again the politicians came and divided us into two factions. They took away all the books of the organization, its treasury and all its belongings. At that time I was only an organizer, for (Continued on page 10) MOVEMENT TO SETTLE WHITE ALIENS ON FARMS IN THE SOUTH SOUTHERNERS INVITE EUROPEAN IMMIGRANTS TO FARMS Will Pay Passage and Season's Costs and Help Them to Become Land Owners We reproduce below an article from the New York Times, December 2, which will be read with great interest by Negroes. The significance of this article, the first of its kind to bring home forcibly and plainly to the minds of Negroes the new dilemma of the race in America arising out of conditions in the Southland and the great Negro exodus, cannot be overestimated. In trumpeting forth the white man's determination to settle white foreigners on the farms vacated by the Negro as a result of the consumate scheming of the white man, we think, the New York Times is but indicting the warning of the Ion. Marcus Garvey, who, a few weeks ago, gave it as his opinion of the Negro migratory movement north that the Negro was being compelled to leave the south, through intimidation and other agencies, to make way for white farmers and an all-white south"—Editor Negro World. Mr. Garvey's Prediction Mrs. Amy Jacques-Garvey, in an article dated November 24, and published in the Negro World, stated: "Traveling through the South I saw neglected farms, forest land, deserted homes and checks. These places looked as if a blight had struck them. A terrible comparison to the other parts of the country. I asked my husband his opinion of the Negro migration north. He said he believed that there was a skilfully organized scheme among some northern white men and southern thinkers to intimidate Negroes through the K. K. K. and other agencies to compel them to leave the South. The southern white farmer, deprived of his celered laborer, will, perforce, open his section of the country to white European laborers that are being dumped into America, in a few years the south will harrow off the celered laborers and the problem of acres will be gradually solved there." The Times Article The article from the New York chapters is as follows: MEMPHIS, Teum, Dec. 1. In spite of the fact that the foreign-born number less than 5 per cent of the population in the Central, Southern States, there is a very strong feeling, backed by several definite movements, favoring the admittance to the country of eugenie, thrifty, early assimilated European farmers. Big landowners, plantation owners and business men of the lower Mississippi Valley, favor selective immigration by which newcomers to this country will be crown at their home ports before settling, and they are especially anxious to see some means established for letting in those of agricultural experience. In support of their announced wishes, they are offering to provide good farm lands for the use of immigrant farmers at terms which will make ownership not only desirable but very easily accomplished. They prefer that the newcomers establish themselves as owners rather than as renters or tenant. Some of the largest landowners in the immediate lower Mississippi Valley, highly large timbering companies that have no use for their lands after removing the marketable timber, propose to sell their lands without each payments in advance and to allow terms as low as prevailing rentals in order to stimulate home ownership and idle land development. Would Also Pay Season's Expenses Not only do they propose to offer this inducement if they can get the right people, but they will go so far as to provide for the maintenance of good families for one or two crop seasons in order that such families may "get on their feet" assuming that for of them ACIDS IN STOMACH CAUSE INDIGESTION Create Gas, Sourness and Pain How to Treat Medical authorities state that nearly ninety-tenth of the cases of stomach trouble, indigestion, sourness, burning, gas bloating, hypercholesterolemia, an excess of hydrochloric acid in the stomach and not an ample believe in a lack of digestive suices.

Several organizations of landowners have gone on record favoring selective immigration of farmers and changes in present immigration laws such as were announced as desirable by Secretary of Labor Davis' recent when he returned from Europe. Admittance by "throwing down the bars" or of more than a certain percentage, even the 3 per cent. arrangement now in force, is not particularly desired, although such changes as might provide for larger numbers of Northern Europeans would be favored. Strong endorsement of selective immigration of farmers was expressed last week at the Forestry and Reclamation Conference in New Orleans by Governor John Pater of Louisiana. Active efforts to obtain changes that will provide selective immigration of agricultural peoples from Northern Europe have been taken by the Southern Alhualai Landowners' Association of Memphis, which represents an actual ownership of upward of 1,000,000 acres of the rich "bottom" lands in the Memphis region. This organization favors such changes in present laws as will permit advancing of transportation costs to immigrants who may be found in all ways desirable, help such as cannot be given under the present laws. It was said that large, landowners in the population, if given the opportunity, would gladly go themselves or need representatives to Northern Europe to get desirable families, advance the cost of their getting to America and establish them on suitable farms under terms that would make it possible for them to pay out from crops produced. Working individually or collectively, it would enable the big owner to place their into lands in energetic, thrifty hands. Plan Immigration Bureau The Southern Alluvial Landowners' Association has a skilleted plan for selective immigration which is based on the assumption that every community has room for additional number of good citizens; that no community has room for those who may become public charges; that criminals or mental or physical defections are not wanted and that, during periods of depression, there is no wish to add to the ranks of the unemployed. With these principles maintained, the plan provides: "1. At each port of embarkation this country should maintain a bureau to which application for a sailing permit to the United States must be made by the amen desiring to enter. The application should have the form of a questionnaire calling for name, age and nationality of applicant; whether married; ages and number of children if any; experience; if any, in trades or agriculture; amount of money processed. Reference from the country in which the applicant lives and whatever further facts may be necessary to determine whether the applicant is worthy of citizenship should be required. The applicant also should be required to subscribe to an oath to make application for citizenship immediately upon arrival in this country. "2. There should be a central bureau at Washington and a State bureau in each State desiring immigrants. The first day of each State bureau should be to make a detailed survey of the State to determine its needs in immigration in the degree of development of its natural resources, area of its undeveloped lands and requirements of the manufacturing industry. Participation attention should be given to the nationality of immigrants that have proved themselves best fitted to do the required work, as well as to the nationality which will most readily assimilate. "3. The results of each State survey should be filed with the bureau in Washington and this central bureau, in turn should forward a copy to each foreign bureau. With this information in hand the foreign bureau could route through to their destination the exact immigrants needed by each State." Negro Exodus Forces Land Issue According to the plan, if farmers only were needed, then farmers only would be admitted; if steel workers only were needed, the steel workers alone would be admitted. If a period of depression came and our own workers were unemployed or if farm products fell below the cost of production, then immigration could be stopped entirely until the period of depression had passed. The plan would provide help when help is needed and protection when protection is needed. It is certain that those interested in immigration throughout the Central Southern States will be actively interested in any legislation which may be placed before Congress at the coming session. The provisions of the present immigration law expire next June. The amount of interest evidenced in this region is based very largely upon the lack of farm labor, brought about to a considerable extent by the huge THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1923 The West Indies, Inarticulate and Helpless Through Lack of Unity, Must Watch and Wait PERTINENT COMMENT (From the Barbados Herald) The imperial conference, now in progress in England, is affording both the statesmen of the mother country and of the self-governing dominions an opportunity of demonstrating how far the idea of empire preference is compatible with the maintenance of financial relations with foreign countries. The issue is not anything as easy as some people try to believe. For while it is indeed plausible and desirable to expect the various members of the empire to take each other's goods in preference to the goods of foreign countries, yet when it is remembered that Great Britain depends for her life on the purchases which foreign countries make of her manufactured articles it will be seen that she must buy some of their own produce. Then, again, the populations of both Canada and Australia are insignificant. And their settled and declared policy of building up white communities, however admirable it may be, further retard their growth. For England it is estimated that by the end of the year there will be two million people unemployed. That is the result of a break up of conditions in foreign countries. The dominions and colonies of the empire cannot today keep the factories of England going. They cannot. Whatever may happen in the future Great Britain is compelled now to find foreign markets for her goods. It is not possible that this fact is not realized by Canada and Australia. The problem must be tackled in a large manner, and not by simply crying out "Imperial sentiment" and such like cheap mush which is always loudest in the mouth of the one who is getting the best of the bargain. Empire preference is possible, and indeed, would be profitable to each partner of the empire. If the whole empire was humped together as one organic body. The wide empty spaces of Canada and Australia could then be used to receive some of the surplus of certain overcrowded spots in India. The increase in population among the new settlers could be expected to be swift and with every addition to population the position of the mother country would be stronger. At the present time the emigrant from Great Britain too often takes the more lucrative shores of the United States of America. During one week in August over ten thousand persons left Scotland for America. And these all go to build up competition against Great Britain. The question of empire preference cannot be decoded by itself alone. The larger question of population must be considered. There must be enough people in the empire to consume the manufactured articles of Britain and the other dominions like Canada, which claims to be an industrial community. Where are these people to be found? England cannot produce them, for the older civilizations of Europe have reached a point where they decide to go down. The "Marth control" which is practiced in the countries of Europe, promises to be an effective bar in the future against any increase in population, and now we have a distinguished Australian statesman telling Japan and other Asiatic peoples that instead of expanding, and clamoring for admission into Australia they should breed less. It comes to this: if the wide spaces of the empire are to be received for people who refuse to breed, dependence on foreign purchases will always control any desire to help the various component parts by preferential treatment for their goods. Here in the West Indies, in anticipate as we are through our own unwillingness to join together, we must be content to wait for whatever crumbs drop from our master's table. We have no means of raising our voices. We can only watch and wait. ZION, III, Dec. 8. Elder Varunbeh Shumaker, an officer in the Christian Catholic Anostolic church in Zion, left for New York where he will board a steamer for South Africa. He is being sent by "Overseer Volta" to preach in South Africa. Remembering the Orphans Mrs. Minnie Bailey, a missionary worker of the Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church, was presented on Thursday by an accident from serving the dinner for some 250 orphans at Bethel Church, in Harlem, and the dinner was served on Friday, the day after Thanksgiving. Mrs. Bailey is now preparing a Christmas dinner for the little ones. She also wishes to thank the many friends who contributed to the success of the Thanksgiving dinner. exodus of Negroes to Northern industrial centers, making it difficult to handle large plantation properties and almost impossible to develop new lands, and necessitating the cutting up of the large properties and the bringing in of new people. The good class of foreign born is favored, for one reason, because such people can be materially benefited and their position in life greatly improved. MARCUS GARVEY, noted orator, made an open plea for world peace when he declared that not by "might but by right" the leading nations of the world will win the consideration of millions of people in Africa, India, Asia, the West Indies and Central and South America, who are discontented and restless because of the oppression under which they live. He gives to the world a practical idealism when he says that "the brotherhood of man and Fatherhood of God means the acknowledgment of the land, goods and culture belonging to them and that such ownership should be respected at all times." Apart from tariffs and trade relations, he tells an anxious world that "the property" of all groups, whether they have organized expression or not, left alone for the best interests of the owners, will end feelings of hatred and all treaties made will be respected because they are honest, just and right. Does he deserve the Nobel Peace Prize? A. H. MALONEY, professor of psychology at Wilberforce University, is an outstanding example of present-day liberal education, a pioneer from that narrow field of intellectualism that in the past refused to indorse new creative genius because of its youth. His defense and bold challenge to the forces of reaction is not that he has an "axe to grind"; it is because the African Nationalist movement can stand the acid test.

Is it not time prescription was ended? SKI and NORFOLK, two young gladiators, representing the Old and New World, being of the same ethnic stock, have just given an exhibition of physical development and boxing skill not seen in the ring for many years. It is a satisfaction to have within our race specimens of manhood whose energies, when touched with vision and ambition, will take a leading place in contexts that will give them recognition and racial value. Success has a physical basis. With few exceptions all men and women who amount to anything of worth have been physically and mentally fit. Take health exercises. They will add years to your life. Do you take exception to this kind of progress? DESERTED BY INTELLECTUALS millions of African and Negro children without clothes, education or homes of their own look everywhere for help training and guidance. What a relief when the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League came on the scene with their program of racial love, understanding, inspiration, self-relance, hope and vision, realizing where the trouble lies and with intrepid courage starting the real foundation that will carry whatever kind of a building the architect draws. Working for a happy, reunited family through their businesses in all parts of the world, they reach beyond philanthropy, building men and women with a sound outpost, pointing to a national home with security of person and property. This solves the condition in which these children found themselves and at the same time gives new assurance that the generations next following will be better taken care of as this work compendious?

The Atlanta Better Film Committee, which for some time has been putting on at leading theatres special educational films for white children, recently extended this service also to Negro children, showing the same films in one of the Negro theatres. The committee reports that the experiment has been quite successful, the audiences being large and appreciative. The Negro women's clubs of the city are operating by providing chaperonage for the children. The Better Film Committee is made up of Atlanta women prominent in club and social life and headed by the president of the Woman's Club. Extend Christmas Greetings to your many patrons through the Christmas issue of (From Abantu-Batho, of Johannesburg.) "We see in it the opening of a new page in the history of the relations between white and black in this country. We regard it as a first step towards opening the door which since the landing of Van Riebeck has been banged, barred, and bolted against our race in the national affairs of this sunny land of ours." These remarks were made by one of the African delegates to the Dutch Reformed Church Conference on native affairs which sat in Johannesburg last week. The significant importance of this conference is that it was organized and convened by the Federal Council of the Dutch Reformed Churches—Churches which rightly or wrongly were hitherto regarded as asympathetic towards the aspirations of the Africans. There can be no doubt that a considerable number of Dutch speaking people are changing their characteristic attitude towards the men of color, and the step taken by their churches is bound to influence all classes of the people to regard our race as a race of human beings destined to play not an insignificant part in the development and progress of this country. For the first time in their history, representatives of the three big races of South Africa, namely, British, Boer and Bantu, have met together at a round table to discuss a problem which vitally affects their respective peoples. It is right that they should have done so because without doing so peace, harmony and progress are impossible. It has now dawned, or it is dawning, to the white race that to keep the Bantu race in perpetual servitude is not only impossible but it is also detrimental to the economic, moral and spiritual welfare of the whites. Gradually they are discovering the fundamental truth that our race cannot be oppressed without disgustful effect upon the general progress of the white race; for there is no escape through law of man or God from the inevitable: -- The laws of changeless justice bind Opressure with oppressed; And clerge as sin and suffering joined We march to fate abrupt. It will be impossible for one and a half million whites to make any appreciable progress in the midst of five million people of an uneducated and undeveloped race. It becomes necessary, therefore, for members of the white race in their own interests to see that nothing is done to repress and suppress the economic, moral and spiritual development of the Bantu race. To contain the fullest growth of our race is to retard the progress of the whiteer, but to help us develop our potential qualities so that we might become useful, loyal, and intelligent citizens is to ensure peace, prosperity and progress. There is no question of more importance to the future peace and progress of the vast country than a fair distribution of opportunities to all its peoples. It is a difficult question; and the conference has brought to light that Europeans and Africans all have their rights, and that each other's rights cannot be disregarded and sacrificed for the benefit of others. We are painters and are entitled to an equal share of the profile from the herdage, which Nature has bestowed upon us. A New Orientation To us the conference has been an event, it has revealed to us that among Dutchmen there are men with human hearts, and who have too great a human dignity to curbure their conscience and soult to the demon of race hatred and prejudice. Although the resolutions passed by this conference will not bring an immediate removal of the disabilities under which our race is laboring, still the importance of the conference cannot be minimized. There can be no doubt that the churches and societies which were represented there have received a new orientation and will henceforth proceed to enthuse the nation with a new spirit of toleration, good will and cooperation. The conference, in the language of H.G. Wells, is "a beginning that has just begun" and its success can not be judged by the deliberations of its three days' session, but all the same a foundation stone for inter-racial co-operation, and a common basis for action has been laid. This, in our opinion, is more important than the resolutions that have been passed. In future the leaders of the two races will be able to come together with the full knowledge that the problem was neither African nor European but the problem of the relations between the two races. Nature's Gifts It seems for us that the primary object of such conferences should be to educate public opinion, for without well informed and enlightened public opinion on the relations of the whites to the blacks success cannot be attained. This country has suffered in the past, and is suffering today because of the ignorance and indifference which prevail among members of both races. For instance, there are many people who do not know, and do not believe that Briton, Boer and Rantu are co-passengers of the great patriotism which Nature has bestowed upon us, and that as such they have an equal share to the profits and benefits. This great world is vibrant with the surges of human passions, all through discontent and dissatisfaction. Discontent and dissatisfaction among any people will surely break out in civil strife and social disorder. The world is soothing with dissatisfaction; the world is burdened with discontent, and at any time the tension becomes so very great that the strain cannot be borne we are sure to be thrown into mighty upheaval, a great conflict. But what is the cause of this great confusion in the world today? Is it not because nations are competing against nations for the supremacy of the world? Is it not because England, France, Italy, Spain and America are craving mad with a propensity of world empire, world supremacy? What is the meaning of world empire? I would better explain it when I quoth the words of Lord Salisbury, who, speaking at a meeting of the Victorian Institute, said: "I wish to denounce any man who thinks himself appointed by God to take possession of anybody else's property. Any Emperor who wants to take somebody else's land is a dirty thief." What is the notion of world empire? It is something which you don't possess yourself and which you are going to make your own. UNTIL JUSTICE COMES EXPECT ANYTHING When the nations of the world in their greed for world empire try to divide up the continent of Africa among themselves, are they not attempting to possess something which is not theirs? "Oh, Justice! Art thou really feel to bristle beasts." The world is dissatisfied and by this dissatisfaction there shall always be a general expectation of world conflagration. There was a time when the people of Rome became dissatisfied and what was the result? There was a mighty crumbling of the great Roman Empire. Not only are the peoples of the world dissatisfied, but among them are Negroes who have awakened to the consciousness of the benefits of dissatisfaction. The situation which confronts the Negro peoples of the world has no parallel in history. In nearly every recognized government they contribute immensely to the upkeep of these governments. They have never flinched in time of national stress and have given of their manhood millions of lives and great treasure in support and augmentance of the respective governments, which in every case promised them better condition—the unadulterated rights of citizenship. With this thought in view they have ungrudgingly sacrificed so as to preserve the world and make it safe for democracy. They have never produced a traitor nor an anarchist; you, they were always loyal, dependable citizens. With all these sacrifices, is it not human that Negroes should be the most dissatisfied people in the world? Yes, they are. They are fully awakened to the exigencies of the hour. This dissatisfaction has fired them with a zeal and realization of the gravity of the situation into which they have been drawn by blind trust. There are deafening talks everywhere about the glories of the Western civilization. As we pergivate through this great metropolis we are told about the wonderful achievements of the white man. We are told that everything that is worthy of mention had been designed and originated by the efforts of this mighty man. Arguments are brought forth to support this contention, and in doing so mention is made of the great part played by Negroes. No thought is given of the contributions made by such men as Benjamin Banneker, Hannibal Paul Lawrence Dunbar, Pushkin, Aesop and others. With all this we know and they themselves admit that thousands of years ago it was from the rich storehouse of Africa, with her genius and labor, that the present civilized world got its science, art and letters, laws and civilization. Moreover, have not Negroes since their liberation in the Western world proved themselves equal to the whites in capacity and intelligence? Has not the white man with his cunning and shrewdness also improved on that civilization which he brought from this great continent of Africa? He has so much improved on it that such conclusions as the following are the foreign to him—Love thy neighbor, well as yourself and take thy brother wife sometimes." This is evidenced by the newspapers and actions in the divorce courts of the world. Oh, how is the civilization of Ethiopia being tampered with? It has become the civilization which has for its motive deception, suppression and enslavement. Such civilization could not be perpetuated. It is sure to be destroyed, even as the Roman Empire that once boasted of a mighty civilization was destroyed. It is galling and detestable when we think of the hypocrisy which is practiced in the Western world under the gulsoe of civilization. Is not shocking to think of the brutal crimes that are committed by these civilized people? Is it not disgraceful when we look at the divorce courts of this Western world? Is it not disgusting for us to read day by day of the many lyricals and burglaries in the United States of America? The source of all this is to be found in the feeling ingrained in the whites wherever they may be found. Their attitude is to dominate over everything that they find, even Negroes whom they do not recognize as their equals. By this feeling racial animosity is artificially kept up, for in some parts of the world there are jim-crow institutions, which as hotels, exclusively for Negroes. PRESENT CIVILIZATION'S ATTITUDE TOWARD NEGRO The attitude of these civilized people toward Negroes their less fortunate brothers, is one of continuous hostility. They cannot bring themselves to treat them as equals. They must and will lynch them. This has been carried on to such a great extent that lynching of Negroes has become a scandal and a blot on American civilization, particularly when those responsible are allowed, in the majority of cases, to go unpunished. Oh, Western civilization! How much longer can they continue to deceive themselves? Remember that, as Shakespeare says: "We but teach bloody instructions, which, being taught, return to plague the inventor. This even handed justice commends the ingredients of our potential challenge to our own lips." PRESENT CIVILIZATION'S ATTITUDE TOWARD NEGRO Negroes has been civilization, particularly when those r of cases, to go unpunished. Oh, West, then continue to deceive thyself? "We but teach bloody instructions, we inventor. This even handed justice co chalice to our own lips."

Dec. 2—A huge crowd of followers and sympathizers of the Universal Negro Improvement Association filled Liberty Hall tonight and manifested by their enthusiasm and attention that their whole heart and soul is with the movement and that more and more its time goes on are the humane and long principles propounded by the movement being woven into the fabric of their lives, giving them a new outlook on life and envisaging the day when the tree will completely emanate itself from the position of dependence on other trees and enjoy the freedom and privileges that must inevitably follow when the Negro can claim nationwide on the continent of Africa. Speeches were delivered by Hon. P. L. Burroughs; Lady Houriettia, Nilton Davis and Hon. William L. Sherrill, all of which, because of the beautiful sentiments they conveyed and the inspiration they imparted, were listened to with rapt attention, falling upon receptive cars that are attuned to the new spirit of the Negro which has been awakened by the teachings of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. All the speakers with one second paid grateful tribute to the loyalty of the members not only in New York but throughout the country, and especially in the larger cities; where enthusiasm ran high and where the people assemble by the thousands eager to learn and hear more of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Speaking on the subject, "The Passion That Binds" Hon. William Sherrell said that, with the advent of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and with the coming on the scene of Marcus Garvey, there has been awakened in the Negro a passion for nurture a passion to achieve for himself a passion to build for himself a passion to make his own contribution. The Negro in the Universal Negro Improvement Association would never have been would together in this great who had not Garvey been able to awaken in him one all-consuming passion notwithstanding. Said he: "The Neem had never known until the advent of the Universal Negro Improvement Association what patriotism really is. But since the advent of this great organization, what Negro is there that hears the name of Africa that does not feel swelling within his bosom an unexplainable pride? What Negro that hears the name of the Red, the Black and the Green does not feel like going forward and giving all there is in him for its protection? It is because the Negro has been awakened to that all-consuming motive that moves men in mass and causes them to struggle on regardless of obstacles, regardless of handicaps, regardless of whatever may be put in the way to reach a great objective." "The Uting that made the Universal Negro Improvement Association a dangerous organization," said Mr. Sherrill, "is that there is one man in the organization who can speak for the millions of Negroes in the world, and it is the loyalty of its followers to Marcus Garvey and to the organization that has the world trembling. As long as there is such loyalty manifested we need fear nothing." Following is the text of the speeches: HON. W. L. SHERRILL'S ADDRESS The Hon. William L. Sherrill, Second Assistant President-General, spoke from the subject, "The Passion That Binds." After expressing his pleasure at being once again in Liberty Hall after an absence of fourteen days, he said: The Chicago Division "In Chicago we have a loyal tradition. I spent fourteen days in Chicago and a couple of days in Italy. I spoke every night in Chicago, and every night the school that seats about three thousand people was packed and jammed with Negroes. Negroes who are anxious, Negroes who are in earnest, Negroes who ASPIRIN BAYER Demand Unless you see the "Bayer Cross" on package or on tablets you are not getting the genuine Bayer Aspirin proved safe by millions and prescribed by physicians over twenty-three years for Accept "Bayer Tablets of Aspirin" only. Each unbroken package contains proven directions. Handy boxes of twelve tablets cost few cents. Drugs also sell bottles of 24 and 180. Aspirin is the trade mark of Bayer Manufacture of Monococcineidenter of Salicylicid. are discontented, Negroes who are tired of the old order of things and are looking forward enthusiastically toward the ushering in of the new. I found in those divisions a loyal set of officers, a loyal set of Black Cross Nurses, Legions, Motor Corps and Juveniles, as loyal an organization as we find in New York city, because the same passion that has seized upon Negroes in New York has seized upon Negroes in Chicago and Gary, and the same passions that have seized upon Chicago and Gary have seized upon Negroes the world around, making them one common family looking forward to one common goal. Passion for Nationhood . Awakening Patriotism Herotofire there has not come on the scene a leader that was able to wield the race into one common whole because of failure to awaken an all-consuming passion. Garvey has succeeded where these failed because he awakened in the Negro the patriotic passion. Before Garvey came the Negro did not know what it was to be patriotic. He had never been and could never be patriotic to the Stars and Stripes and the American Government; he can only be loyal. His status in America will not permit him to be a patriot. The Negro in America, although he is not bound with visible chains, is bound with invisible chains that make him in a measure a slave, subject only to his masters. Now, a slave cannot be patriotic. A slave can be loyal to the flag, a slave can be loyal to a country, a slave can be loyal to his master, but a slave cannot be patriotic. A slave has practically the status of an animal. A dog can be loyal to its master. A horse can be loyal to its master, but a horse cannot be patriotic; a dog cannot be patriotic; a slave cannot be patriotic. To be patriotic to a country you must be able to say 'My country'. To be patriotic to a flag you must be able to say 'My flag'. You must be able to say 'My railroads, my government, my President, my banks'. To be patriotic you must be able to feel and to be a part of that thing to which you show patriotism'. Mass-Moving Motivoe The Negro cannot say "My tailor," The Negro cannot say "My Government." The Negro cannot say "My President," for the President and the government and the railroads and the business institutions exist only for the benefit of the majority groups about you. But Harvey has made it possible for the Negro to be patriotic. There are only three motives that move men in mass. These motives are religion, race and patriotism. If you read all of the great moral movements in history you will find out men were only moved in mass by one or the other of these all-consuming motives. Marcus Garvey has welded the Negro together all over the world, because he has picked up one of the all-consuming motives that move men in mass and has injected that motive or the spirit of that motive into the Negro. And what is that motive? Patriotism. To what? Patriotism to a government in enmigry, patriotism to a flag. It is the patriotism to the Red, the Black and the Green; It is the patriotism to Africa that makes the Negro, whether he is in America, whether he is in the West Indies or whether he is in Africa, struggle or for one aim, for one destiny. The Negro had never known, until the advent of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, what patriotism really is. But since the advent of this great organization what Negro is there that hears the name of Africa that does not feel swolling within his bosom an unexplainable pride? What Negro that hears the name of the Red, the Black and the Green that does not feel going forward and giving all there is in him for its protection? It is because the Negro has been awakened to that all-consuming motive, that moves men in mass and causes them to struggle on regardless of obstacles, regardless of handicaps, regardless of whatever may be put in the way to reach that great objective. A New Outlook As I view this great crowd in Liberty Hall tonight, another thought occurs to me. I heard Mr. Hurrows say he was glad to see so many here in spite of the fact that you knew that all the executive officers are on the field. Where else would you go? The Negro who visits Liberty Hall is a Negro who is looking for something that is new. If he does not come to Liberty Hall he has nowhere else to go to get it. (Applause.) The Negro is a new being. He is a new creature. He is not satisfied any longer with the old way of reasoning, he is not satis- fed any longer with the old way of thinking, for those of you who have been in contact with the propaganda of the Universal Negro Improvement Association think differently. And the Negroes you meet who have not been in contact with the propaganda of this great organization are, not Negroes that interest you very much. You are new in your outlook upon life, in the way you view things. You see and understand differently from what you have ever seen and understood before. Why, the Negro in the Universal Negro Improvement Association is a Negro that understands thoroughly now the tricks and the machinations of the white man. The minute that the Negro in the Universal Negro Improvement Association picks up a paper, he is able to read not only on the lines but between the lines also. The moment that something is started on the other side of the fence you cannot fool the Negro of the. Universal Negro Improvement Association; he sees exactly where they are going. The Liberty Halls all over this country have taught that this awakened ambition and this new outlook upon life are absolutely necessary for the new Negro. We have got to have some place, since we are unable to carry forward our ambitions and our desires right now, we have got to have some place where he can blow off steam, and the Liberty Halls serve as exhaust pipes (Laughter). They serve as exhaust pipes to let out some of this pont-up steam, this pont-up ambition, these pont-up desires in the breasts of thousands of Negroes. New Thought I sometimes think that you yourselves do not realize what a different creature you have become since you came in contact with the preparations of the U. N. I. A. It would do you good sometimes if you members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association would simply go into your room, do not turn on the light, but sit for a while in the dark, and think about the John or Henry of Sam, or whatever your name is, of six years ago and compare him with the same Henry, John, Sam or Mary of today and see what a different creature you are. There is no way, and it is hard to talk in such a stream, with this new development of new Negro thought and new Negro ideas to destroy the Universal Negro Improvement Association, because the Negro has become fully awakened not only to what he wants but to his ability to get what he wants. Why Not? "The Negro in the University Negro Improvement. Association is a Negro that has realized that for three hundred years he has been building governments for other men. It is he who built up American; it is he who elected up American's swamps; it is he who created up the lowlands of American's mountains and brought out his praises. It is the Negro who has been the leader in dismissing the enemy with all of great American government. He then this, the Negro asks if I do to the Negro America, if I can do this for his land, why can't I do for myself. He has not only to resist his authority, but the Negro has required inability to use the same means to get what he wants. The Negro decides that it is the black man that tought in every war the Lord Wise and Blue has been. But the Black man who has gone to the service of the Black men from the West Indies, who helped subdue the African slave the white man, has been the the black man that saved the of the white man, has been the can fight the war of white men, can fight the war of black men. Under Black Leadership I little white man the Negro republic oh thing he did thought he was there was some density of life soil that he could not by white men he was a great something that to show must be with the aid Neeroize under black raise his arm meet black men the port of the world Speaking for Millions "The thing that makes the Universal Negro Improvement Association very dangerous organization is that there is one man in the Universal Negro Improvement Association who can speak for the millions of Negroes in the world. You realize what a force that is. There is one man who can speak for the Negroes in the world. Now, herefore the Negro has never had any one man who when he spoke spoke for the mass of Negroes in the world. Have you stopped to realize that right here in the City of New York, if there was one Negro in New York that the white man knew spoke for every Negro in New York, there are lots of things you would get you are not getting now? And the world realizes now that when Marcus Garvey speaks, no speaks for the millions of Negroes the world over. They know what he says to law and govet for the mass of Negroes. They know when he says he gets, they go and when he says come, they come. The world knows, the world realizes that so much force and power post-put in one head or in one centralized leadership is dangerous force and power and is force and power with which they are hound to reckon. It is your loyalty to the Universal Negro Improvement Association, it is your loyalty to Marcus Garvey that has the world trembling. The world has seen the membership of the Universal Negro Improvement Association go up against every odd; they have seen you suffer things that would have disrupted any other organization, but the Universal Negro Improvement Association. They have seen you try and fall, seen you make mistakes; they have held your leader up to ridicule, accused him of everything, done everything possible to discourage the membership of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and yet for some non-understandable reason on their part you stick. When they think they have scattered you, they find a bigger crowd that night than the night before. Need Fear Nothing "As long as there is such loyalty manifested on the part of the membership of this great organization we need fear nothing. And it is that trait in you that proves conclusively that you are new Negroes. Herefore the Negro has always been easily scaffolded, the Negro has always been easily made to believe the world. But this Negro in the Universal Negro Improvement Association, don't you think that because he says a few hard words to his brother sometimes there is anything wrong with him on the outside. Don't start anything, because when you start it it becomes a family fight. I am indeed encouraged and home up when I see this spirit manifested not only in New York, but all over the country in the various disciplines. When I see such spirit I also realize the great responsibility which rests upon the shoulders of those of us who attempt to lead. A great responsibility rests upon our shoulders to step in the right direction and to help you more specifically teach you so much desired objective. The Universal Negro Improvement Association is more determined tonight to carry out and carry for its program than it was when Moreno Garvey organized it. Keeping Blood Pure "We pay no attention to organizations that have babies. We are organized, such as the organization in Virginia. Those organizations do not bother us, because they are raising down there to keep the white men's blood pure, and this fellow Powell says. Here they the white man has been taking care only of me women here from now on they are Norwegian to prohibit mixture from either one. They need not bother with the University of Norwegian Improvement Association, for we are representing a less of Norwegian who are not anxious at all to mix blood with any race. They need not bother about keeping white men from mix the blood with Norwegian women, for we of the University of Norwegian Improvement Association are just interested in one blood, and they are happy to work with us to plan a The day is past when the Negro is anxious to find in his blood the blood of any other man, but that of Elephant. The day is as yet a coming now when the Negro is bound to trace his blood. Stops Colds in 24 Hours KILS, Corsica Bromide Quinine gives easier heat than any other cold or la pression.

It is the desire and ambition to be somebody else that has made the Negro a loosely held together people. As long as a race feels that to have any decent blood in its veins it must have Irish blood or French blood or Spanish blood you can never get that race to believe in itself, to build and do for itself. As long as a race feels that the nearest approach to perfection is being like somebody else, then that race is not going to have very much respect and love for itself. "It is this trend of mind that the Universal Negro Improvement Association has been laboring for the last five years to educate out of the Negro. And we are making Negroes proud to be Negroes. We are making Negroes proud of their blood, proud of the blood that courses through their veins. And why not? Is not that blood coursing through your veins that same blood that coursed through the veins of the Ethiopian of past history? Is not that the same blood that coursed through the veins of those who built the Pyramids, of those who developed that great civilization on the banks of the Nile?

XV. NEW YORK, DECEMBER 8, 1923 No. 17 The Negro World does not knowingly accept questionable or fraudulent advertising Readers of the Negro World are earnestly requested to invite our attention to any failure on the part of an advertiser to adhere to any representation contained in a Negro World advertisement HEW TO THE LINE THE good old saying holds good. "Hew to the line; let the chips fly where they may!" At a time when there was the greatest opposition within the cultural heads of some members of the race against Dr. Washington and his idea of industrial education, of preparing the young people of the race to have educated heads as well as educated minds, Dr. Washington made them all the simple retort courteous that it was his business to popularize the idea of industrial education, and not to popularize the idea of the higher education, there being plenty of others doing that, and that he was giving employment to more college and university trained people than all of the other Negro schools engaged in the work of higher education. Some of those who were struck by this bomb are still howling and nursing their hurts. It is much that way with the Universal Negro Improvement Association now. Those who are opposed to it and insist upon saying what it stands for, but does not, neglect their own business by attending to the business of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Any tyro in business could tell them that is bad business to be engaged in. Take Dr. DuBois and the smash-up of his Pan-African Congress as a horrible example. And, however much others may try to distort or confuse the facts, the primary object of the Universal Negro Improvement Association abides—to create a Negro state in Africa, to assist in building up the natives of Africa and the ultimate driving out of the white European usurpers and exploitors, or forcing them to deal justly with the natives, and to encourage Negroes everywhere to make the most and not the least of their social, civil, and economic opportunities, under whatever flag they may find themselves as denizens, subjects or citizens, as by so doing they will be all the better able, morally and financially, to help on the good and necessary work of the redemption of the Fatherland from alien rule and exploitation. This being the truth in a nutshell, let us hew to the line and let the chips fly where they may THE PROTEST AGAINST HIGH TAXATION AND MICRULL IS WORLD-EMBRACING EVERY reader of The Negro World is interested in the questions of high taxation, high cost of foodstuffs, high rents, and tyrannical administration of government. High taxation and bad administration are the main sources of economic distress everywhere. Organized and unorganized opposition to these are in full movement not only in the United States but in the West polies, in Great Britain and Europe and in Africa. In all divisions the earth large and many of people are shifting their places of residences and away from the home to better their civil and economic conditions. And everywhere are discontented, protector and away from the ills forced upon them by bad conditions and unpleasant pastures. What will be the outcome of the world-embracing discontent and protest against high taxation and bad administration of government? Shall we come out of it all stronger mentally and physically? How can we when it is all good, thousands of school children in New York are underfed and undercothed because the cost of rentals and food-crufts so low that parents have to rob the babies and children to pay the rentmen and the grocer? How can we when thousands of people in large children and grown-ups, are underfed and underclothed? The World War caused this, we are taught to say, but some of the lange must attach to proligate expenditure of public moneys to prosecute the war and the brazen profiteering of those who control the necessaries of life. Our esteemed contemporary, The New Majority, published in Chicago, in the interest of labor, organized labor, if you will, is publilh because the profits of producers have not been reduced, but rather enhanced, because of the increase of wages. It says: "Profitse of representative business concerns for the first six months of 1023 are larger than for either of the two previous years and in many cases are larger even than in the great boom period of January to June, 1920, according to recent calculations by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. This means that recent wage increases have not interfered with employee prosperity. The bank's figures cover fifty-seven corporations engaged in production and trade, and 133 public utility companies. The computations are of net profit after all deductions for interest charges and tax payments." Apil with the loaf of bread costing 10 to 12 cents which used to cost but 5 cents, wheat raisers are clamoring for $2.50 a bushel for their wheat while receiving a dollar, "to save the farmers." Then, two milk now costs 16 to 19 cents a quart which used to cost but 5 cents, and coal now costs $15 per ton which used to cost but $3.50; apartments which used to rent for $30 and $40 now rent for $60 and $70 per month. The manufacturer and the high price skilled trade union people can meet these high requirements, because their earnings are sufficient to do it; but the non-union man and the army of unskilled laborers, who average but 40 cents an hour, when they work, and widows and orphans with small incomes have a hard time to make ends meet, as, being a majority of consumers of manufactured articles and farm produce, they pay most of the profits of producers and skilled workmen, and they feel it and suffer for the necessary comforts and conveniences' of life, even to starving the babies and children. It is not surprising that Secretary Mellon's statement that Federal taxes can be reduced $323,000,000, provided no bonus to the soldiers should be authorized by Congress, has aroused the opposition of all THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1923 those who profit by high taxation and profitstering in the necessaries affected by Federal taxation, and has also got all of the partisans and group interests in the Congress up in the air, fearful that, whichever way they go, their fortunes, partisan and personal, will be affected one way or the other in the elections next year. The great mass of the American people want taxes reduced; not only Federal taxes, but State, county and municipal taxes, in order that the high cost of rentals and foodstuffs, and wearing apparel may be reduced, so that they will not have to suffer for want of those things and the enjoyment of them. Those who authorize the raising of public revenues and those who have the expenditure of them should understand this fact, but they seem not to; it therefore becomes the business of the people to make them do so, and they are doing it through the newspapers and every other agency that reaches and influences them. Those who bear the heat and burden of taxation and bad government everywhere are clamoring for relief, and they are going to have what they want sooner or later, even if the profits of manufacturers and profiteers and the wages of labor have to be reduced to the ability of the average consumer to buy what they have to sell—products and labor. MUSSOLINI SAYS AMERICANS ARE 'BARBARIANS' PREMIER MUSSOLINI of Italy is a real dictator. As the leader of the Fascists, who have the same dare-and-do way of doing things that made Garibaldi and his Red Shirt liberators of Italy so terrible to their enemies, he just walked in one day and took charge of the Government of Italy while all the "world wondered," nobody doing so more than King Immianuel and the people of Italy who did not belong to the Fascisti faction. They just laughed, shrugged their shoulders and let Mussolini have his way. The World War killed all of the kings and royalist fanaticism in Europe, and peace appears to be doing the same for the democratic worshippers. Dictators now have the front of the stage. A dictator may be described as a man who grabs power by subtlety or force and surrounds himself with presumptuous egotism. France, Italy, Spain, Russia, now have dictators, Mustapha Kemal of Turkey being one without saying so, and Austria, Poland and Greece are headed the dictatorship way. Premier Mussolini does not like the people of the United States a great deal, we imagine, because our newspapers have not approved of him and his Fascistist ways. We are all disposed to think well of those who think well of us. Anyhow, Mussolini does like to be interviewed by American correspondents. A New York World correspondent cornered him on a train between Rome and Turin. "The people of the United States are barbarians. How can one expect them to understand European affairs," sported the dictator, glaring at the World woman, who winced but insisted she must have a message. "Ah, to the barbarians, eh? Well, tell them that the Fascist will succeed." He must have read of the burning of John Henry Lowry at Nordena and the brutal slaughter and persecution of the protesting Negro farmers of Philips County and the horrors of the peonage and murder farm in Georgia. Perhaps. Are Americans "barbarians," as the Italian dictator insists? The record shows that they are, in spots, and that each of the thirteen Southern States is one of the spots. They seem to be voodooed by the mystical number 13. May they grow better and better, day by day, in every way, with apologies to Monsieur Coue, who threatens to visit us again from Nancy, in France. It is not nice at all to be classed as "barbarians," even by Dictator Mussolini of Italy. Editorial Opinion of the Negro Press The Negro press through years of sacrifice and struggle has obtained a commanding influence that nobody any longer discounts. The circulation enjoyed by the lending colored weeklies is convoking evidence of their hold upon their people. It is now left for the race business man to properly appraise this great force in relation to his ambitions and to connect with it in a manner that will insure a greater development of all concerned.—Norfolk Journal and Guide. People who are always quarrelling with other people deserve to be quarrellled with by other people.—Richmond Planet. —The American Negro is a unique character in world affairs. He is under discussion by every civilized people. He has a history of successful daring, suffering and achievement. His largest civilization is on the North American continent, his greatest service to humanity in the past five hundred years has been in the field of American activities. He is a proven and worthy asset to the American governments. His relation to its strivings, its struggles is equal to that of any other citizen. He should have, and is entitled to, the rights and privileges of an American man—Birmingham Reporter. —Crime is crime. We think the police and newspapers should be just as much interested in running down white crime- NEWS NOTES OF INTEREST (Lincoln Service) There are 8,383 Negro women working in cigar and tobacco factories. In the printing business there are 199 colored female compositors, linotypers and typesetters. It would be a nice compliment to name one of our numerous women's clubs in honor of the Empress Zaaditou of Abyssinia. There is considerable speculation as to who is best fitted, by education and training, to take up the mantle of the late and lamented Mary B. Talbert. Oberlin was the first co-educational college in the world and the first in the United States to admit Negro students. Most of our race in America descended from the Negroes of the Sudan, that part of Africa lying south and adjacent to the Sahara. —The words "white male" were eliminated from the Ohio State constitution at the recent election. The Klan opposed the amendment. —For the first time in the history of Haiti the month of July, August and September contributed materially to the total revenue income of the country. —Contributing to the agricultural resources of the nation are 92 colored women dairy farm operators, 28 stock raisers, and 19,778 general farm operators.

Argus. —The time has arisen when all thinking Negro voters must act to save themselves from a new peril—the peril of having the race sold out by leaders from within. We have failed to secure justice for ourselves in the past. The fault can be charged as much to Uncle Tom leaders of our own, as to the governing force without.-St. Paul Northwestern Bulletin. —The vernacular of the street is that your dollars are your best friends; whether this is true or not, you owe it to yourself to see to it that they are spent wisely and in a manner calculated to bring the best results to you. —Denver Star. —Men and women who can do things, and can give proof that they can do things, will find thousands ready to support and assist them to make their dreams come true. No race is more willing to support genius than our race, but it demands that genius do more than dream dreams. So let our young people cease this talk of the closed door of opportunity. When one has twelve millions of human beings to deal with, no door of opportunity can remain closed. The demand grows. Let those answer who can. To be able to answer is the real test of whether or not the opportunity is deserved.—Tampa (Fl. A.) Bulletin. —A poor man without patience is like a latop without oil.—Denver Star. Mr. Garvey's Tribute To Dr. Washington (From the Norfolk Journal and Guide) The appearance of Mr. Marcus Curry, President-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, in Norfolk, at the Bank Street Baptist Church, drew a large audience, which is usually the case wherever he appears in-public as a speaker. He has in large measure the tremendous drawing power of Mr. Frederick Douglas and Mr. Booker T. Washington. Three men could not be more different in physical make-up, in mental equipment, in oratorical methods. Each always held his audience, and they do say that is the acid test of oratory. But Mr. John Mercer Langston was also a great orator, with the power to hold the audience. So many of our men of light and leading dislike Mr. Garvey and his propaganda, and so many of them have denounced him and pursued him, as to leave him little choice than to dislike and denounce them. It is interesting, therefore, to have Mr. Garvey shower oratorical bouquets on the grave of Dr. Booker T. Washington and to place the word of approval on the good work Dr. Washington accomplished and passed on to others. The Liberian coffees have never been favorites in the United States on account of their flavor. In Europe they are used for blending with other varieties. VIRGIN ISLANDERS MAY HAVE CIVIL GOVERNMENT President Coolidge, Considering Recommendation Made by Samuel Gompers Besides having an undesirable administration on their backs, besides suffering from wages as low as 40 cents a day, two days' work a week and a situation so appalling that the white Americans who make up the American Federation of Labor, the publishers and readers of the Nation, the Current History Magazine and the New York Times, as well as other American organizations, have spoken out strongly on behalf of the downtrodden black people of the Virgin Islands. Besides having to hear up under all their other afflictions, the people of the Virgin Islands must endure the male-diction, falshoods and folly of such Uncle Toms as the Rev S. E. Lord, who wrote in a recent number of the Chicago Defender against "newcomers from the neighboring British islands" and tells all the world that such suffering as now exists in St. Croix, St. Thomas and St. John is due in a large measure to the inpouring of unfortunate, unintutored Dutch, French and British subjects from neighboring islands. Hero is a brand new explanation which seems to have been entirely overlooked, not only by the congressional investigators, the various naval governors, Mr. Arthur Warner of the Nation and the people of the islands. But you couldn't hide it from the observant eye of Mr. Lord, who was forbidden to go into the Virgin Islands by his own ecclesiastical head. He went in spite of those orders. Why? Because the pickings "looked pretty good. It would appear. But, when "the natives are selling personal property and leaving by the hundreds," money must he scarce and not easily come by. So he had to shake the dust off his feet and leave, too. He pictures the islands (if you would but listen to him) as "a place where manifest and supposed problems show in erudition of aspect a conglomeration of political, industrial and social non-conformity to the best American ideals and to changed world activities." But it seems as if this alien gentleman despises his own race on the islands for some reason or other. This good gentleman praises the naval occupation to be as pure and blameless as the knights of the Round Table. For them he has nothing but praise; then he, a minister of the Gospel, goes so far as to accuse the women of "moral degeneracy" and "selling their virtue and honor." Whether he purchased many of these things we are not informed. However, we have the official statement of ex-Governor Kittelle that immorality of that sort came into the islands "coincident with the coming of the white Americans." (The report is given in full in Lighthouin's Annual of the Virgin Islands for 1923). It appears as if there were some pretty high spots reached during this sanctified person's stay in St. Croix. And right here we are asking what interests does he represent? We do know that money is a root of evil. In spite of the croakings of the bird of prey, the condition of the Virgin Islands is becoming every day more of a cospool in the eyes of the American democracy, as the following news dispatch informs us: "WASHINGTON, Nov. 24—President Coolidge has taken under consideration a communication from Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, advocating the establishment of civil government in the Virgin Islands in place of the present control of the islands through a naval officer. Mr. Gompers wrote to the President in accordance with a resolution adopted by the recent federation convention and submitted a report made by an investigator for the federation who visited the islands. This report, urged that a civil government he established chiefly upon the ground that economic independence from absentee landlords is essential to the welfare of the islands." From the above two things are evident. First, that the propaganda waged for nearly two years by the Virgin Islands' Congressional Council here in New York is not based on lies. We told the truth in The Negro World all along in the hope that the truth must finally prevail. We charged up the account of misery and mismanagement to the proper source—naval incompetence. The second point is that at last we are likely to get some action on the matter. This vindication of the course which we adopted will give us great pleasure. But better than all will be the joy of the black workers of the Virgin Islands when they exchange an incompetent form of government for a civil and dependable government which will enable them to get bread to eat by earning it and protect them from official and judicial Donkeyrys like the late Washington the Little and Tiberius Payne. And when the change comes it will be a melancholy reflection that black men were among its bitterest and most unscrupulous enemies, while white men like President Coolidge, Gampers and Mr. Warmer of the Nation were works to bring it about. In that day all patriotic Virgin Islanders will find concession in the fact that they started it and stuck to it in spite of colonies, snorts, lies and denunciation from white trants and black traitors, so free the American escutcheon from the black blot which was placed it. (From the Gold Coast Trader of Cape Coast, West Africa) The African World supplement of July 28 current has some interesting comments upon African artists in London. It deals with the musical talent of members of our race, who are delighting British playgoers in the heart of the empire. It makes for appreciation of one another's cultural possibilities, which should go a great way in toning down prejudice and intolerance. Of late years Mr. Roland Hayes of our race has carried all before him by his exceptionally rare musical gifts, and has performed before His Majesty the king and the highest circles both in Britain and on the Continent. And the present notice of Mr. Charles B. Cochran's cast which appears to be attracting great crowds to the West End theatres of London. Among the artists specially mentioned is Miss Florence Mills, an African contralto, who renders exceptionally well "Georgina Peaches", "Dixie Vamps" and "The Sleeping Hills of Tennessee" among others. The report says: "Certainly Florence Mills and Edith Wilson and the "Dixie Vamps" in particular could easily pass in any Southern European country without being recognized as belonging to the aborigine race of Africa, which is so rapidly and rightly emancipating itself to the higher levels of Caucasian culture." It proceeds: "A visit to Dover Street to Dixie' is an educational, artistic an empathic treat of high degree, and we can only be grateful to Charles Cochran, almost verily gifted in his selection of true artistic talent, for the excellent show he is providing us with at the London Pavilion today." This appreciation is gratifying, but we are not mirrified at the talent described. Years ago it was common in London to witness such fine renditions of African artistic talent as in the play, "In Dahomey." But those days are gone forever. In this particular play wits that doleful yet prophetic element indicative of the hope and the future of the race. In one of the catch songs occurred these words, or words to that effect: "If the tree of life here golden fruit and men were rushing to pick thereof, I would be struck with a paralytic stroke"; "If it rained down soap and all were bilden to partake thereof, instead of a spoon $^2$ would have a fork." The moral was obvious. It pointed to the African's hard fate in a world where whatever he did, wherever he roamed, he seemed destined to be driven to the wall. But we say that time is now all changed. The African now realizes that partysis is common to mankind in general, and that if he takes the necessary precautions he can be alive and active as any in the game of life; that he can, if he be a fool, make use of a fork where he should provide himself with a spoon, which thing is an allegory. And hence Miss Florence Mills, of our race variety can toss her chin high in a condition approaching "the higher levels of Caucasian culture," and Roland Hayes can raise London audiences to the highest pitch of excitement and sympathy when he sings at his best, "Go tell Pharaoh, let my people go." With these facts known to us and before us, we are not surprised at the development of artistic taste among our people in West Africa. Our brethren in Sierra Leone are said to be showing signs of great promise in the musical art, and some of the performances during the Congress session, as we reported at the time, were singularly good. We have ourselves also seen at Accra and here at Gyeong Coast performances with equal promise, and we are particularly pleased to learn that attempts are on foot both at Accra and Secondee to, produce an orchestra worthy of the name. It can be done; it is natural to our people, and "it will amuse us in some way" group or learn, is by the "Optimism" Club, whose last concert on August 31 was a marked success. 135th St. Library Notes The Forum will meet Thursday evening, December 13. All interested in this organization are urged to be present at this time. The reception to artists will be held December 8, in the evening. Artists and their friends are invited. The art exhibit will continue through December. An invitation is extended to every one to visit this exhibit. New books: Best British short stories of 1923, and 31 stories by thirty and one authors.

The course will be conducted over a period of ten weeks and will be free to members. Prominent newspaper men of Harlem will be acquired from History furnishes us with innumerable examples of men who rose from lowly surroundings to some of the highest positions in the affairs of mankind. Some of the adventurers have been good and great men and some have been too low and mean to protect their names from the scorn and contempt of well meaning people. They went up as skyrockets and came down as burned sticks. Napoleon Bonaparte was, perhaps, the greatest adventurer of modern times. He started without fortune or family traditions, from the barren rocks of Corsica, captured and dazzled France, made and unmade kings, changed the map of Europe and died bound to a barren rock in the Atlantic, as Prometheus of Mythology had died before him. He left the world better than he found it, but that was not, because he planned that he should do so, but because it was in spite of him and his soulless ambitions, which were entirely selfish. But where there was one masterful adventurer whom we can readily single out as the greatest of them all, modern life has furnished thousands of lesser adventurers of whom it is not easy to say of him that he was the least of them all. Talking about William H. Ellis, a Texas Negro, who died recently in the City of Mexico, Prosper Buranelli, writing in the magazine-section of the New York World of November 25, says: A prodigious fellow has left the earth. In the city of Mexico the other day died William Henry Ellis. For thirty years he had stood, a glamourous and oniginetic figure, giving himself with a flame of audacious and oniginetic glories, enterprises and romances. The catalog of his titles reads like the composition of a sick fancy* cowboy, colonizer of Negroes, stalwart of old-time politics in Texas, aspirant opera artist, stalwart of the Street, diplomatic emissary of the United States Government, friend and adviser to King Menelik of Abysinia, Duke of Hararr and Hawash, "the man who would be king," magnate of Latin-American conquests, conqueror of bold and powerful manipulation of troubled Mexican politics. He figured strangely, plerximely in a dozen famous and sometimes dark affairs in the high world of gold and diplomacy, and seemed to save the magic of touching with a behemoth object of money or state that his fiery ambition encompassed. Mr. Ellis gained the confidence of Mr. Henry H. Hotchkiss, inventor of the Hotchkiss gun, and managed his vast estate for his widow. It was while doing this that he met and married the beautiful English woman, Miss Ida Mande Lefferts-Sherwood, niece of Lloyd George Armstrong, inventor of the Armstrong gun, and grandniece of a one-time baron of the British Exchequer. He was a splendidly developed man physically and he had a nerve as thick as Napoleon's. We knew him personally for a great many years and we never found in our contact with him that he was worried in the least because he was a Negro. He was such a smooth man as a broker that he occupied for a long time a whole finer of the J. P. Morgan & Company building, in Wall Street, and enjoyed the confidence, if not the credit, of that famous banking company. Mr. Ellis was a successful adventurer who was fortunate enough to die with his boots off. We are sure that his greatest achievements were in being shrewd enough to keep out of the penitentiary on the one hand, from being hanged dead by the neck by a Texas, sheriff or a mob made up of his dupes. He played a big but dangerous part for twenty-five years, but he left nothing whatever as an inspiration and a hope for the Negro people. He was only an adventurer, a masterful one, who lived for himself and not a bit for others. time to time to lecture on various phases of newspaper work. The Ten and Twenty Club, upon the invitation of the, Y. M. C. A., will hold its next meeting at the building on Saturday, December 5. This club is composed of former members of the St. Christopher and Alpha Physical Culture Clubs and the Smart Set Club of Brooklyn. The Art Students' Club has been invited to give an exhibit this month at the 135th Street Library. Mr. Challenham is now busily preparing the club's work for the exhibition. Immigration statistics count as Negro, or "African (black)"—"Afens, whose appearance, indicates an admixture of Negro blood"—"whether coming from Cuba, or other islands of the West Indies, North or South America Europe or Africa." Excluding the 50,000,000 or more dark, inhabitants of India, the Negre race numbers fully 150,650,000, or about one-quarter, the population of the Mongolian race. The number in Brazil alone is not much less than the Negre population of the United States. (From St. Kitts Union Messenger) The sudden of laborers to Santa Domingo has begun. Year by year, the people of the laboring cities are brought face to face with this necessity. On the afternoon of Wednesday, November 21, four schoolen, "Warpite," "Muriel," "Betsy R." and "Begin," called out of our roadstead, each heavily laden with its cargo of human freight. The subject of a sufficient labor supply for these islands has been repeatedly discussed in these columns and were it not for the relation which the subject bears to our welfare and prosperity, we might well throw up our hands. We have often advocated the absolute necessity of maintaining a full supply of laborers and it is time that the responsible people of these communities give the matter their curious attention. The prosperity of the islands largely depends on agriculture, in other words, the exports from, which we derive our income are very closely associated with our fields of sugar cane and cotton. It is in this connection that the importance of the laboring man, not only to the planters, but also to the government, merchants, importers and, in fact, to each and all of the inhabitants, is best seen. He is therefore an asset to the islands and it is to the interest of each and the welfare of all, to encourage him, in one way or another, to remain at home and give it the benefit of his labor. The more laborers kept at work, means the greater the acreage under cultivation. The greater the acreage under cultivation means more tons of canes for the factory and bales of cotton for the ginners—in short, it means an increase of our exports and hence an increase of the incomes of the islands. At this time of the year in particular business and every other activity go at a dead slow pace, for the reason, as is apparent, to the observant, that the working man earns very little. The sugar cane crop and sugar manufacture occupy about six months of the twelve and cotton picking and ginning employ but the minimum of labor. Therefore, it is nearly safe to say that for six months of each year, the great mass of laborers earn merely a subsistence wage. Some other means should be studied whereby we will retain sufficient laborers by which the islands will be properly cultivated. It must be borne in mind that when the laborer emigrates, he seldom fares worse than if he had remained at home. On the contrary he earns more and his immediate family are benefited from his increased earnings. But this particular island does not benefit directly, because the profits on his labor go elsewhere. Employers of labor should seriously consider in their own interests, ways and means of keeping the laborers in the islands. What about making living conditions more attractive for them? What about giving the laborer a "stake" in the community, a small holding which he may call his very own and which he does not hold on sufferance? What about minor industries as a "go-between" out of crop season? At present, we are experimenting with tobacco. What about a dairy farm, a coconut-oil and castor-oil industries? These, if they could materialize, would relieve the bad situation tremendously and would remove the necessity for emigration by our laboring people the people who work for all and who feed all.

T "Sunshine Sammy" and His Gang—"Little Farina" Second from Right storywise stories would have to be you at the studio today." "Is that a command or a request? Who is the kid?" "Why, he is our celested star. Don't you know 'sunshine Sammy'? There! I had been caught tripping in my history of starfans, but quickly recovered myself, and added, 'Yes, of course, I will be delighted to see him. Arrange an hour convenient to him.' I drove over to Hal Roach's studio in Culver City at the appointed time to see this child genius. He was shooting pictures. Acting the part of a pirate. Something had gone wrong "Sunshine Sammy" and His Gang— with the engine of his ship, and as the child worked feverishly to get the engine righted, his director, Mr. McGowan, looked at him admittingly and said to him, "He is a perfect wonder. Not merely an imitator, as most children are, but he has creative genius. If an accident happens to his setting he will go right on with the scene and fit in, his own little part." The whistle blew for lunch; the click, click of the camera, coased, and the pirate left his ship and was formally introduced to me as "Master Frederick Ernest Morrison—the star of Hal Roach's 'Our Gang Comedies.'" He is known on the screen as "Sunshine Sammy." "What is the name of the picture you are making?" I asked, by way of starting a conversation, while the young gallant looked me over. "I don't know yet. Most of our pictures are named after they are made, and if they are named before they are made, the, names are sometimes changed." His attention was immediately attracted to a man rigged out in a cowboy's outfit, their eyes met and they smiled, knowingly. Seeing my inquiring look, he explained, "That's Wilt Rogers, the comedian." "And who is that?" I inquired, pointing to a little colored child about three years old, rolling over on the grass. "Oh, that's Allan Hoskins. He plays a girl's part and is called 'Farina.'" That was another one on me. I had seen Little Farina on the screen with her long braids and cute smile, but had no idea that "she" was a "the." Sammy ran off to get dressed and I became better acquainted with Farina. He is three and one-half years old and has been playing in the movies for two years. He was discovered by Sammy's father and trained by him. Farina is a young star, or starlet, in the movie constellation and well deserves his pay envelope. We next had some pictures made with Sammy in the leading role, and as the lunch hour had nearly expired he very graciously invited me to his bungalow the following day to meet his sisters. He is called "Ernie" at home, and is the eldest of five children, and the only boy. His sisters are Florence, Vera, Dorothy, and Ethel. Florence plays his double any time, while I was there she mischievously dressed up in his clothes and I could hardly tell the difference between them. Vera plays the piano and accompanies Ernie, who plays the violin. Dorothy used to play as Little Forina, but some of the parts were "too rough, so her father trained Allan Hoskins for her part. Even baby Ethel, who is not a year old yet, can make goo-oo eyes. "How can you account for this talented family?" I asked Mr. Morrison, the father. "Well," he said, modestly. "I used to do vaudeville work in New Orleans." "And my sister was an actress," chirped in Mrs. Morrison, determined to prove maternal heredity. "I was crazy about dancing and won the prize four times for cake-walking." "Then, you are not Californians?" "No, we are both from New Orleans. Ernie was born there. I brought him to California when he was one and one-half years old. "How did you get him in the movies?" I asked, getting more interested. "It just happened as most things in life. I worked in Hollywood, and one day Bill Bertram, a director, asked me if I could get him a little boy to work with Baby Marie Osborne. I told him I and a little boy at home and would bring him in for the test. So Ernie entered the movies, working two days; then two weeks, and at the end of that time I signed his first contract with the Rowland Film Company for $10 per week. This amount increased a THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY. after the first year, but, two and a half years later he joined the Big Ben Roach Company. Now he, 18, ten years old and earns $400 per week." Not much, I thought. Norma Tulmadge gets $16,000. Gloria Swanson $8,500, etc. If colored movie fans would demand colored pictures from their local theaters the three or four colored stars could demand better pay, and hundreds of other colored actresses and actresses of the legitimate stage would be given a chance on the silver screen to show their natural ability and earn a good living. It is a question of demand and supply. Demand a colored "Little Farina" Second from Right "sheik," and rave over him. Rave over one who looks like you. Demand a colored Herma—— But I am moralizing, and must get back to Ernie, our star, the black star. He had become very friendly and was leaning on the arm of my chair, "Do you go to school?" I asked. "No, my tutor goes to the studio with me and I have my lessons in between the scenes when I am not working. I like to read fairy tales." His large black eyes opened wide and he leaned closer to me, as he continued: "I like to read the ones where the pretty girl gets under the spell of a witch and a prince comes along and rescues Her. Gee, I would love to be the prince." The age of chivalry, I thought, is not gone. Black knights are budding forth and in the coming generation knighthood will be in flower. Mr. Morrison is a business man and has big plans for his children. He owns a candy factory and considerable real estate. The family leads a simple, wholesome life and, with such natural gifts, the children are bound to become great artists. West 135th Street Y. M. C. A. Briefs The Art Students' Club at its last meeting got its first glimpse of the possibilities that lie within its circle. Many of the pieces of work would do credit to well seasoned artists. With Mrs. Sadie Peterson of the 135th Street Library as principal speaker, the public speaking class got off to a good start last Thursday night. The program was divided, part being given to public speaking and part to "Educational Week." Mrs. Peterson, who spoke on "Good Books for Men" in the interest of Educational Week, gave a most illuminating review of worthwhile reading. Mr. W. S. Bell also spoke on the educational programs various organizations in Harlem were trying to put over. —Representatives of seven newspapers in Harlem attended the Press Dinner last Tuesday night as guests of the Plan and Scoops Committee. The Billboard, Negro World, Amsterdam News, New York Observer, New York News, Fraternal Review and Hotel Tattler were represented. The employment situation seems to be easing up somewhat, according to the employment department. Jobs are coming in, but the wages remain very low. —The association regrets keenly the loss of a warm friend and supporter in the person of Mr. Nicholas Battle, who died Thursday, November 22. The race as well as the Y. M. C. A. loses a member whose high ideals were an inspiration to all. One of the first public announcements of Dr. C. H. Tobias, senior secretary of the Department for Colored Men of the International Committee, was the announcement that Mr. William Curtis Craver, for five years leader of student associations of the Southwest, would have chief responsibility in leading the Y. M. C. A. work among the colored schools and colleges of America. Mr. Craver is an alumnus of Shaw University and the University of Chicago, 1912.

Both their residents and their non-residents subject to this law may take off $2,500 where their not income as married persons living together or as heads of families is $1,000 or less. When the not income goes over that amount, the exemption, like the Federal law, is reduced to $2,000. The New York State Legislature, however, following the government not, did not boost the exemption for single persons or married persons living apart, which stays at the old amount of $1,000. Doubling up of the exemption for dependents from $200 to $400 is permitted Warning is given that these bigger exemptions do not change that part of the law which requires all married persons living together, to file returns if their combined net income is $2,000 or over, and all single persons, even though heads of families, who have not incomes of $1,000 or over. It is estimated that the State, under these higher exemptions, will show a loss in revenue of $2,480,000, on a normal $0,-300,000 yield, under the old rates and exemptions. If the normal yield should swell to $25,000,000, the loss would be over $3,000,000. This reduced return is mainly brought about by the fact that as the yield increases the number of taxpayers becomes greater in the classes lower than $5,000. Putting the effect of the change in a simple story, the married man with two children who paid $9 under the old exemptions on $3,300 net income, now pay no tax, but files a return, and nine dollars lower tax is asked from such married persons who earn more than $3,300 and not more than $5,000.

Mr. Jellibite Filis and his comrades were on a missionary tour in Cap-Haiti, Haiti, lecturing, telling the people that the constitution, written by Franklin Roosevelt and forced on the Haitian people, in hand, they must go to the ballet box on the 10th of January next to reconstitute the legislative chambers dissolved at the point of the bayonet by the Occupation, so as to put an end to anarchy existing in the island. The people owed them everywhere they went, and the words: "Down with the Occupation! Down with the facto President Born, the Guadeloupean!" were frequently heard at the meetings they held in various parts of the country. Unsurveyed by the growing popularity of these men, the Occupation decided to get rid of them by charging them with inciting the people to revolt. On the early morning of the 23d of last month, in accordance with a well-laid plan, Mr. Jollibols Fils and Mr. Guria, the latter a director of a daily paper, Haiti integrale, suppressed in 1915 by an order from Admiral Caperton, head of the Occupational forces in Haiti, were literally kidnapped from Cap-Haitien, put in an auto guarded by American soldiers and taken to Port-au-Prince. Haiti, where they have been thrown into the same cell where they have known so many sufferings. This is the eleventh time Mr. Jollibols Fils has been imprisoned by the Occupation. Re Mr. Pierre Paul and Mr. George Petit, the crime impaired to them is the publication of $70,000 alleged to have been misappropriated from the public funds by Mr. Russell, High Commissioner in the island, and a plot by the principal officers to get rid of all the nationalist leaders. Now, putting aside all the sufferings of the starving Haitian people, can anybody account for the American government writing a constitution for Haiti, a small and defenseless country, and for bidding the people to apply same? I will leave this question to be answered by the American people, in the name of whom so many crimes have been committed and without their knowing anything about it.

I have given it to a number who were terribly afflicted, even bedridden, some of them seventy to eighty years old, and the results were the same as in my own case.

DREAM DAYS IN SUNNY GOLD COAST TOURING THE BEAUTIFUL LAND IN A FORD FLIVVER CAR Historic Cape Coast Castle and Elmina—"We Are Not Impatient; We Africans—We Can Afford to Be Patient," Said an African Editor BY J. M. STUART-YOUNG Author of "Chipa From West Africa," "Merely a Negress," "The Soul Slayer," etc. (Conscluded From Last Week.) The earliest sign we had, at Bokekdi, that we were staying in the world-famous mining town, was the high cost of living. The single hotel had been for some years in charge of a Syrian. The earlier proprietors (English) had retired with a moderate fortune, after ten years strenuous effort. The actual owners at this time were a group of Europeans, who ran the place on strictly profitable lines. Each room had its appointed guest, two and even three guests. We paid one half a gulnea per head for dinner, but this included a shared bottle of white wine. Other prices were not so discouraging, for alcoholic drinks were almost comically cheap. Only a shilling was asked for a whisky-and-soda, while sixpence would buy a sherry or a gin-and-bitters. Yet, it was evident that the colored staff of stewards was expected to make bricks without an adequate supply of straw. The furniture of the room, in especial the bedding, was of the most primitive kind. Cleanliness was certainly not a virtue of the landlord. It did not take us long to get into conversation with group after group of miners, accountants and traders. Most of them were proceeding northward, mainly to the Preteen Mining Block, and to the trading towns in the vicinity, by the morning's train. A few had come down from Tarquah, and were now awaiting the arrival of the next homeward-bound express board. In recent months, we gathered in conversation, there had been quite an epidemic of suicide. Alcohol appeared to be the principal cause. One man had shot himself. Another had used arsenic. Another had died from an overdose of venom. Yet another had turned upon himself a Gillette razor blade. With this tiny weapon he had assaulted the arteries in the creek of the arms and in front of the wrists. With great consideration he had then died to death at the wash-bowl, his hands immersed to the elbows. When the bedroom steward found the corpse, it had collapsed between the dressing-table and the wall, but was still in an upright position. The mining man spends lavishly. His logic is simple and child-like. What is, the use of earning a thousand pounds in a tour if you do not reach England with most of it "blued," and obtain thus the necessary incentive toward making just one more trip to that "ruddy hole out yonder." There was a ball that night at the hotel. The elite of the colored community had been invited. So it was that we danced with Gold Coast girls, whose high-dressed hair was guided with golden ornaments; the soft yellow metal which is peculiar to their own district. Their coffee-hued complexions stood out in splendid relief against the silk of their garments. Their join-cloths, like Josephine's coat for coloration, were welly bunched at the waist; and their expensive BISHOP I. E. GUINN 633 East Sixth Street, Cincinnati, Ohio.

"camisoles," of richly dyed Manchester cotton, above feet that were covered only with loose yellow sandals, made an ensemble that appeared singularly alive and vivid. As for the music, it was simply wonderful. The orchestra consisted of a piano, two violins, a drum, and two or three bottles, held by little Negroes, which were beaten upon by means of large wire nails, a substitute for the triangle that could scarcely have been bettered. When all is said and done, music remains the universal tongue. What are all the plastic art forms, into which we seek to throw our heart hungering, when compared with this divinely abstract thing known as melody? There was one dance, of Aerola origin, which my companions swore would eclipse in popularity "The Missouri Waltz," were it but written down correctly by a sympathetic composer, and then adapted to the needs of European ballrooms as a foxy. As we awayed and turned to that simple and withal voluptuous tune it seemed like a glimpse into Paradise. The French windows were open to the night and a cool wind fanned our foreheads. We could see the mackerril-ribbed ocean, silver and fairy-like frilled, where the tide kissed the beach, with gossamer lace. For away, against the blue, dome of the sky loomed the ghostly outlines of the hills, backed by a large moon of opal and surrounded by brilliant stars. When I asked my partner to translate the words which the dancers had now begun softly to hum, she hesitated for a while. Then she murmured a prose version which I have put into a halting rhyme. To my surprise I found that the sentiment was dedicated to Mother Love. Dwells the one who brought me forth. The mother sweet, who gave her youth. To make my life of worth. Had I but wings today. Oh! how soon I'd fly away. To be beside my mother in the North. (To Be Continued Next Week) We proceeded up the railway line the next day about sixty miles, accompanied by our chauffeur. We meant to take the road again on one of the busiest trade routes. We had reason, throughout our Odyssey, to be thankful for Jimboy's unfailing good humor, his willingness to work and his preemptive and dispatch. It was only now that he was to be placed in command of one of the Gold Coast's show cars, a fine six-cylinder Napier, built for four occupants. During the boom of five years ago, when cocoa reached about seven times its normal figure, even the most modest of farmers made a fortune. There grew around heretofore unsophisticated people an enormous apparatus of spending, indulgence, uncleared-for comfort, and even wastefulness. Girls who had been content to wear a simple loin cloth and go abroad without pauisale hone in bare feet, began now to wear high-heeled shoes, and ledermier car in Paris gowns. Men who had been content with cheap nuits of khaki drill must need sport in blazing sunshine frock coat, silk hat and patent leather shoes. Hence motor cars (which Gold Coastians required, as munition workers in Great Britain bought planes and fur coats), when the inexitable crash came, were being sold at "three for a penny." The klump was of so obliterate a nature that there seemed very little hope of it being merely a temporary one. The show cars of the prosperous period were now in the hands of thrifty and far-scoring white merchants. Panhards, Overlands and Buicks were nearly all privately owned. Meanwhile many dozens of "fluviers" found their way to the scrap heap. We were not proud, we party of three passengers from a cargo-boat. It was only a modest (sic) five hundred pounds sterling 1920 model that carried us from the railway line to Cape Coast Castle, Elmina and Saltpond. Both Cape Coast Castle and Elmina are full of historic associations. The first named is the home of some of the finest brains known to the African face. There one may meet the intelligence of the Gold Coast, and may enjoy a "feast of reason and flow of soul" that is well worth the seeking. The Castles alone (and there are several) deserved patient hours of exploration. The great sweep of their walls, with the British flag on the top, served to remind us of the world's awakening from slavery, at the earliest breath of the noble wind of liberty. We examined the many huge chambers, with heavy iron rings in their walls and roasted chains at their thresholds, where once upon a time convoys of "human cattle" were allowed while the slaver in the roads betrothed loved its unhappy carriage for the length of the sea and for the THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1923 delectable Southern States of America. Despite their evil reputation, how impinging was the appearance of these monuments to the days that are no more. One had almost to rub one's eyes and ask, "Is this the twentieth or the seventeenth century?" while vista after vista of faded glories unfolded before the eyes. Past strength, past tyranny, past devilism. But also past glory, past pomp and every-present beauty and charm. From the lure of Elimina and Cape Coast Castle it was hard indeed to tear oneself away. We spent the night with a well-known barrister—editor of one of the most important West African newspapers, and a Negro of high literary attainments. He did not speak with his tongue in his cheek when he voiced the aspirations of the colored race. His words came straight from the heart. "We are not impatient, we Africans," he declared, for the dawn. "We can well afford to be patient. Already there are the earliest dim signs of its radiance, after the dark hours that have heralded its advent. We shall then meet the white people of the world on equal terms, not as the stepping stones that they have used for their own rapid crossing of the stream of destiny. Equality, not superiority, if our aim. We may have failed in our recent mission to England, or comparatively failed. We did not consider deeply enough the disadvantages of being the spokesmen of millions of men who are not as yet articulate. But, at least, we viewed the sentiments of the thinking Negroes of West Africa. And all mankind heard our message. There was far more in that semi-absent mission of ours than the eye. Something at long last has been accomplished, something done. We have established for all time the principle that color is no bar to progress, that governments must be representative, also are they evidence of Might before Right. Our journey, on the whole, to London was epop-making. We are satisfied with its results!" True, enough, the Gold Coastian's day is slowly but surely breaking. Without there is something unhealthy, hectic loud, assertive, nouveau-rich, in the hasty advance, the diffuse prosperity of the past generation. No possible harm should result from such a criticism when I state emphatically that it is preferred, in the soundest spirit of friendship. Above all other tribes and tongues, the Gold Coastian has enjoyed a very lengthy period of contact with white culture—Dutch, French, Danish, American, German and British. Moreover, while Gold Coast women show themselves possessed of undeniable beauty and charm, Gold Coast men have long proven themselves the owners of acute brains. From the center of the Gulf of Guinea, therefore, we may confidently expect the first fruits of our centuries-old bearing of the white man's burden. Our journey was more than half accomplished. We made Acrera after five days aweed. Then should have come Addis Ababa. First of all, however, we climbed the hills by the side of the railway for a distance of nearly a hundred miles. The scenery was absolutely magnificent. We enjoyed the clearest of clear atmospheres. On every hand were lilies descent browns and rods, spikings of mauve and blue, shadows of gray and a middle distance that was the coolest of pearly whiting. Our meals we continued to take anywhere and everywhere. The hours drifted by almost unmarked. It was noon once we realized that another dawn was ours. Dusk seemed to fall soon after we had completed our post-providential siesta. The next day we fancied a few fresh coconuts. We had passed Winnemah, and left the car in the shade of a large cluster of rocks. Then we set out on foot to find the nearest Bush village. It was a cluster of a dozen houses only—rush roofed, mud-walled, quite primitive and almost unbelievably acreadian. Completely it filled the bill. We sent a couple of tiny Negro kids with definite instructions to bring coconuts "plenty, plenty," and to bring them "one-time!" The youngsters scuttled off, leaving us in the shade of a wide porch, where a very aged Negro sat smoking a black cutty. His wife, probably the two boys' grandmother, was busy at work husking beans. A few minutes later we saw one of the youngsters climbing the straight bole of a palm tree, while his companion waited below to blow to the nuts. The climber used the aid of the tie (a supply rope of native fiber). This was firmly fastened round his waist and thence encircled the tree. He maintained a swift jerking movement of the torso, the legs being firmly planted against indentations in the tree's surface. The slight young form seemed perilously inclined backward, but the rope steadily ascended higher and higher, a foot at a time, until the lad disappeared from view amid the wide sweep of the palm fronds. Shrill cries of encouragement issued from the Negro on the ground, accompanied by instructions in the vernacular. Very soon the nuts came hurting to the ground—one, two, three, four, five, six. The younger boy then van toward us. His arms full of the troop and his ebony face grinning from ear to ear in anticipation of the "dash" that he knew would be forthcoming. When his companion had returned and we had invited both of them to share our repast, after giving them each a shilling as recompense for their laina, they literally danced with glee. How refreshing were those young coconut! Is there a milk in the world—goat, cow, sheep or any other animal—so welcome and so energizing as nature's own supply when the sun stands at a hundred and something in the shade.

Dept. 102 dary. Our chapteur, Jimboy, remained, an ever, true to his post. We were to pay his passage back to Annie by steamer when we should part finally from him at Loma. In the mountain district around Nawam we were particularly charmed by the glorious vegetation. It is probable that the people of this district are the happiest on the whole Gold Coast. If they are Not, they ought to be. Nature is so liberal to them and they appear to enjoy a peculiarly, contented and easy-going disposition. Nobody had a grouch. If the word just used be a combination of the word "growl" and the equally harsh word "speech," neither may there be found. In these verdant hills and valleys everybody laughs and sings and jokes, and labor is enjoyed as though it were the privilege and not the curse of all mortals. Quilttah, by contrast, was depressing. The great salt lagune which starts below Addah, and which reaches almost to Lome, thrusts Quilttah pitlessly into the arms of the sea. Yet the people are a proud breed, and of a somewhat despotic type of soul They are Awimans, maly; and it must be conceded that their ideas of progress are much larger, more humane ampler and saner, than the common. The geographical limitations of the lagune would seem to have made them introspective, analytical and superbly self-aure. "Life is so tame, so monotonous, so every-day-the-same in our neighborhood!" complained a Quittault chief to me. "We have a steamer only about once a fortnight. Our mails generally come by road through Acea. Commerce does not march. It crawls. Meanwhile the governments of Europe have tricked us grassly about our relative position with Lome. The Negro was promised, while the great war was on, the right of choice. Our Lome brother fought for Britain in the hope and belief that German rule would be changed for British rule instead of that. Lome and the Togaland to which it belongs have been thrust under the control of France! Quittault and Lome should legitimately have contested under the one government, with the one customs' tariff, and the one ideal of progress. Today there is an artificial boundary between us, a divergence of rule, which the years can only make more pronounced. We have been deceived. Quittault is starving and being slowly starved to death. We have occasional visits from Acea's big men; but, ah, sir, this is not life! It is only existence. We did not food waking up, for we were already awake. As things are today, with France our boundaries, we have not enough scope for our energies." This pronouncement might be taken as an epitome of the Gold Coastian's temperament. He is restless, hungry, and he scorns knows for what he hungery. Not every rich man he be the farmer, trader, harrier, doctor or petty chief, can aspire to visit Europe and America. Not every man or woman can wear European clothes and cultivate European tastes in food, physical and spiritual. Big bank balances do not compensate these strenuous workers for the fact that, after a very few years of Europe application they become suddenly old, outworn, outmoded, unhappy, disenchanted and without ambition. What use is it that, every time the clock ticks, a halfpenny drops into the family's pocket. If an equal weight be added to the family's unrest? Nature's laws are invariable. There must first of all be a generation of laborers, willing and eager to wrest wealth from the soil, before there can be a generation with abilities and tastes to enjoy that wealth. Always it is the next generation that enjoys the predecessors' sowing. Let no one deny to the young people of the Gold Coast the right and justice of that enjoyment! For they are a wonderful breed, these children from Acura, Sikondi and Cape Coast Castle, intelligent in an unusually high degree, keen witted, handsome, graceful, and to the blim with personality. Words can scarcely describe the invigorating delight with which they have taken up white sports—tennis, cricket, football, hockey, polo, swimming! They are, without denial, a splendid type of Negro. Jubilantly, hippantly, thimphantly, they stand in face of the future. They are absolutely unafraid. Their heritage is already conquered by the right of a fearless acceptance. On their slim shoulders will these youthful Afrikaners carry the fate of Negro advancement. For it is an undeniable truth of West Coast history that the culture of the Gulf of Guinea is the oldest and the sanest yet known to tropical records. The black folks of the Gold Coast are learning, if they have not already learned, the white man's rallying cry: "Play up! Play up! And Play the Game!" THE CHRIST OF LOVE Text: "Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again." John.ii:7. Subject: "Conversation With Nicodemus." Among those present at the marriage feast in Cana of Galilee when Christ performed the miracle of turning water into wine was Nicodemus, a pharisee, a member of the great council and a teacher of the law. He was anxious to learn the doctrines of Oge Who, by controlling at His pleasure the laws of nature, proved that He was sent from God; yet at the same time, fearful of excelling anger and reproaches of his fellow pharisees and his colleagues in the Sanhedrin, who already hated Jesus, the Saviour by night and said unto Him: "Rabbi, we know Thou art a teacher come from God, for no man can do these miracles that Thou doest except God be with him." In seeking Christ, Nicodemus displayed a love of truth; in his address he shows respect and candor, but in choosing the night for his visit he betrays a weakness which dishonors him immediately after the salutation he seems to have inquired of the Saviour what that doctrine was which He was sent into the world to teach and which He confirmed and proved by such mighty miracles. Jesus replied: "My doctrine, briefly, is this: whoever will enter into the kingdom of grace here or glory hereafter must be born again." Nicodemus misunderstood Christ, and inquired of natural birth. Christ corrected him by informing him that he spoke of a birth by water and the spirit, of a new nature given by the Holy Ghost, and of a reception of the Gospel, testified by a submission to its initiating ordinance. "May you not that I say unto you, You must be born again." 1. The change expressed by the term regeneration is a moral and not a physical change. The substance, the essence of our nature remains unaltered. A holy principle is implanted in the soul, but there is no transmutation of its substance. When Christ changed water into wine, when the rod of Moses became a serpent, these things changed their nature itself. There is nothing like this or like the change of a beast into a man, or of a plant into an animal, in regeneration. The faculties of the soul, like all the works of the Creator, are good in themselves. To be capable of knowing, of thinking of willing; this is the essence of the soul, and it is not destroyed by regeneration. After regeneration it is the same man, having the same constituent parts, the same faculties of body and soul; but a holy temper is given to the soul, a spiritual principle implanted in it, which produces a perfect change in the operation of the affections and possessions and in the conduct of life. 2. This declaration of our Saviour implies that the change produced in a natural man at his conversion, is a great, a radical and an internal change. If conversation were but a trifling matter, if there were not an immense difference between the renewed and unrenewed soul, the Saviour would not have used the strong language of the text. If to "see the kingdom of God" nothing is requisite but a philanthropic rightousness, or a philosophical virtue; or even if it were necessary only to be in the visible church of Christ; to be acquainted with the truths of the gospel, and frequently to converse on them; to attend diligently the ordinances of religion; to present some prayers to God, and to give some alms to the distressed—if this were all that God required, there would be no necessity of our being born again. Nay, even a partial change of the inward man is insufficient to correspond with all the force of this term. To what purpose should we boast of having experienced the illumination of Balaam, the humiliation of Ahab, the confession of Judas, the faith of Simon Magus, the confidence of the unbelieving Jews, the attention of Ezekiel's auditors, the "reformation of Herod, and (what, what), includes all these together) the promising appearances of the stony-ground hearers, if like them we rest in this partial change? All this can be produced by human endeavors, by moral persuasions. To accomplish all this it is not necessary that we be "born again—born of the spirit." If this were all that is required of us, it would not have been necessary for the Holy Ghost to descend, or for God to work. Decolve not yourself. Regeneration must mean more than cold form, moral virtues and partial amendment; and if you experience nothing else, "verily, verily I say unto you, you shall not enter the kingdom of heaven." "All this is only covering the wrinkles of the old Adam with a little point, and concealing his deformity by a hand- THE BOOK THAT EVERYBODY IS READING Now Off the Press ORDER NOW TO SECURE YOUR COPY "PHILOSOPHY AND OPINIONS OF MARCUS GARVEY" EDITED BY AMY JACQUES-GARVEY First Edition Published by THE UNIVERSAL PUBLISHING HOUSE TABLE OF CONTENTS CHAPTER I.

"We must be born again—born of the spirit," imply that this change is the work of God. Thus it is so expressly that "we are the workmanship of God, created in Christ Jesus onto good works. Before regeneration the scriptures constantly declare us to be "dead in trespass and sins," without motion, activity and power. Apply all natural agents to corrupted man; you will never by these alone make of him a new man, animated by spiritual life. Let parents and teachers come to him with their precepts; let Moses advance with his rod; let preachers come with their exhortations, their promises and threatenings; they will never be able to move him if God Himself does not come; if by His Almighty and immediate action he does not create the new man and the new spirit. This truth is ungrateful, to the natural man. He will never cordially assemble to this humbling doctrine till the spirit of God begins to work upon him. But he must believe and feel this, his inability, or he will never be led to the Saviour. While he rellos upon his own power he will not implore the influences of that spirit by whom alone he can be born again. (Continued next week) LOST OPPORTUNITY By J. C.

The Gary Division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association was very fortunate in securing two of the high officials of the organization to lecture at the Washington Street Hall, Stateouth avenue and Washington street, on Thursday evening, November 22, 1933. The admission was 50 cents, and an appreciative audience paid due homage to them most distinguished guests. They were none other than the Hon. Wm. Sherrill, Assistant President General of the U. N. I. A., recently a delegate to Geneva, Switzerland, and Captain E. L. Gaines, better known as "Daddy" Gaines, who is in charge of the uniformed ranks of the association. The meeting was opened with the usual ceremonies, with Mr. W. J. Webb at the plafo: Captain Gaines was then introduced to the impatient audience by the Rev. D. E. Butler, pastor of the First African Methodist Episcopal Church, located on the corner of Twentieth and Massachusetts streets. Rev. Mr. Butler is well thought of by the U. N. I. A. members of Gary, for the doors of his church always stand open to us. He has the movement at heart, and his congregations works in harmony with the division here. "The speech of "Paddy" Galice was so well presented that it held the audience spellbound from the beginning to the end. In the beginning of his talk he gave a few instructions regarding the officers of the division, after which he complimented the band and said that he had rather be commanding officer of the U. N. I. A. Legions than to be commanding officer of the United States Army. Many interesting thoughts were brought out in his talk, and those who heard it were highly elevated in mind and uplifted in heart. He clearly explained the high position that the noted Mr. Du Bois held in the N. A. A. C. P., and said that he would be glad to take anyone around to the headquarters of that officer in New York, should he call upon "Daddy" to do so. He assured the curiosity seekers and critics that the first person who would be visible upon entering the office would be a white man. At the termination of this wonderful address, the amount of $65.57 was contributed to the public collection, and "Daddy" then presented the Hon. Wm. Shefrill, whose oration was no less inspiring and interesting. He stated that he would like to tell us of his trip to Switzerland, what he did there, but time would not allow. Nevertheless, he brought to our minds so many other things of importance and practical value that we lost ourselves amid the easy flowing words that came from the depth of his heart. He portrayed a vivid picture of the present continent of the native Africans toward Garvoyem, and stated that we would have no trouble in redeeming Africa as soon as all of the natives are well acquainted with this noble movement, for they will redeem Africa. Hair Seed Magic Special Price to Browns and Aromas by the Grove or Brown AT YOUR DRUGGIST OR DIRECT FROM themselves by their unity and power. He also reminded us of the fact that the greatest difficulty that we would have to overcome in the U. N. I. A. was the lack of unity among our country and the lack of co-operation from the Negro people in the Western Hemisphere. The Hon. Mr. Herrill is indeed a young man of rare ability and seems to have acquired inspiration from the Great Divine in order to feed the souls of hungry men with truth that is unadulterated. Music for this grand occasion was furnished by the band, which has won its way to popularity throughout the district. SECRETARY. BROOKLYN, NEW YORK Another manifestation of the growing popularity of the U. N. I. A. in the Borough of Brooklyn was demonstrated on Sunday, November 25, when a large and enthusiastic audience attended a concert given by Miss Hillariah Hurley in aid of the chapter's building fund. Mr. E. Comberbach, the chairman, executed his duties with marked ability. President J. E. Samuel's spoke on the forthcoming visit of the Hon. Marcus Garvey; the part that the women of Harlem played in the early stages of the U. N. I. A., and what is possible if the women of Brooklyn would help in putting the program of the Association over in their community. He concluded by thanking Miss Hurley for her splendid effort. Mr. Brathwaite's (the first vice-president) topic was the forthcoming ball on December 20 in aid of our Christmas basket fund. Dr. BenJ. A. Osborne spoke on the ignorance of the educated Negroes, warning the audiences to be careful in accepting the views of such men as Kelly Miller, because these men are endeavoring to gain popularity at the expense of the race. On Sunday, December 2. Brooklyn Division will visit Chapter 64 at Summer Hall, and on Tuesday, December 4, the chapter will return the visit. Everything possible is being done to make the President-General's visit on Sunday, December 9. at Kismet Temple, Herkimer street and Nostrand avenue, the biggest affair in Brooklyn for the month of December. J. E. SAMCELS. TORONTO, CANADA Toronto Division is holding very successful Sunday afternoon meetings which are well attended by the members and friends of the local. On Sunday, the 18th inst., our president, Mr. Carter, called the meeting to order and, after the opening exercises, introduced Mr. Lowell, who said in part that he recognized no higher education than that obtained through the medium of the U. N. L. A., because it taught Negroes to know themselves, to find their souls and to aspire to higher and greater things. We also had the pleasure of having with us a visitor from the island of Cuba in the person of Mr. Vanderpool, who delivered an inspiring address. A recitation, dedicated to the Hon. Marcos Garvey was given by Mr. King. The rest of the program consisted of solos and recitations, which were well received. On Thursday, November 22, the members of our division turned out in large numbers to witness the marriage of one of our faithful workers, Mr. T. George, to Miss Mary Walker. We wish to, extend to the couple all the joy which life can give, and hope that they will continue in the fight for a free, redeemed Africa. REPORTER MIDDLETOWN. OHIO MIDDLETOWN. OHIO The Middleton Dylsion No. 384 of the U. N. I. A. is making splendid progress in the program for a free and redeemed Africa. They held a very inspiring and enthusiastic meeting on Sunday when an attractive program was rendered. After the singing of the opening ode prayer was offered by the Rev. Earls of the Cincinnati division, and a few addresses. The Black Cross Nurses sang "Our Home in Africa." The Juveniles contributed greatly to the success of the evening, and their efforts were well appreciated by the audience. The Rev. Earls, before closing, explained the aims and objects of the association and made an appeal for new members. J. BAKER. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1968 On a recent Sunday was witnessed one of the most memorable occasions since the inception of the Universal Negro Improvement Association in this vicinity and which may be termed a nover-to-be-forgotten day. Seated on the platform were: Mr. S. A. Riley, president; Mr. T. A. Morrison, first vice-president; Mrs. Aneta Clarke lady president, and Dr. C. C. Woodham. Our meeting was called to order at 8 p.m. sharp, with the usual singing of the opening ode, "From Greenland's Ice Mountains," followed by prayer from the constitution by the president, who afterward, in his usual glowing terms, addressed the audience. He took for his subject: "Garveyism." In his discourse he drove the nail on the head by driving hope the movement into the hearts of his hearers, and his speech was punctuated with applause. Next was a song by the congregation, "Father of All Creation." The next speaker was F. F. A. Morrison, who in a masterly and forceful manner made a membership drive which was a marked success in making eight more converts to the fold of the U. N. I. A. Mr. J. Bernard, a visiting member of the Elena Branch, gave a very spicy address, encouraging all present to press on until we have achieved our alms. Much praise was accorded Dr. C. C. Woodham, Miss Marie Edwards and Mrs. Aneta Clarke for the fine selection which they rendered, after which the president introduced Dr. C. C. Woodham, who was greeted with an outburst of cheers as he rose to speak, and who held the audience spellbound for over forty minutes with his usual eloquence. He took for his subject, "Man Know Thyself." He showed his audience how little the Negro has been taught about himself, how he has never paid much or any attention to his own history and literature, being more concerned about his white brother than that of himself. At the close of his remarks he outlined to the gathering the great importance of being identified as a member of this noble cause. "The work is an uphill task," he said, "but with God on the right, and the Universal Negro Improvement Association on the left the grave problem which now confronts the Negro will one day be solved." Next was a duet by Mr. E. Bell and Miss Edith Stennet, which was splendidly received. A recitation was rendered by little Miss Kennedy, of seven, whose brave delivery and splendid emulation was worthy of a prize were there any to be offered. The other speakers for the evening were Messrs. J. Kerr, A. Kennedy and S. Watson, the secretary of the chapter, who, we must confess, has compelled the enemies to stop and think when he said: "If they suppress us in the East we will rise in the West, and if they suppress us in the North we will rise in the South." Continuing, the speaker said: "We shall defeat the adversaries of this great movement of ours now as we did in the past, and we shall defeat them in the future as we are doing now." The Ethiopian national anthem was them sung, which brought the meeting to a close at 10.30 p. m. REPORTER. COLP, ILLINOIS On October 6 and 7 the Hon. W. A. Wallace, Commissioner for Illinois, visited us and inspired the division with his wonderful eloquence. We are deeply indebted to Commissioner Walt Lacey for the good which he has accomplished in this Treaty by bringing into the folds Negroes who never had any idea that they one day would become members of this grand association. He spoke at Dewmain, IL, and at the African Mothodist Church to very large crowds which received him enthusiastically. We had with us two Sundays afterwards Messrs. Eugen Keathley and James Poston, who delivered two fine addresses. The speakers dwelt upon the necessity of supporting the U. N. I. A. and said that a work such as the one we have undertaken should not fall for lack of financial support. They believe that no matter how fast we work it will always appear slow to all true-hearted Negroes. JONAS SANDERS. "Both biology and anthropology," expostulates Imperial Wizard H. W. Evans, "prove that the Negro cannot attain the Anglo-Saxon level. . . No new environment can more than superficially overcome this age-old hereditary handicap. With the ever increasing exodus from country to city, it is an undoubted fact that another generation will be marked by regression." Equally certain is Dr. W. G. Willcox of Cornell University that the drive to northern cities spells the solemn doom of the race. Such also was the opinion of Dr. Frederick Hoffman, twenty-five years ago. Though this tragic hope may loom brightly to many forward patrons as the end of our tangled racial problem, their speculations and deductions are, it seems, merely hurled in the face of the wind. For, contrary to the most common beliefs and assertions both of sentimental reefs of Negroes and of traditional backbitters, the movement of Negroes to northern cities is not resulting in a higher death rate. The Negro death rate indeed is as a whole still much higher than that of the whites as a whole, but the trend is distinctly downward as a result of this cityward movement, and at a rate far in excess of that of the white population. the government mortality statistics are for the registration area only and a great bulk of the Negro population live outside of it. Movement of an unrecorded group of Negroes to the northern registration areas, of course, would have some effect upon the figures for comparative purposes. But this effect would be artificial. The migration, as might be expected, drew to northern cities a disproportionately large number of adults in advanced ages, whose chances of death are naturally greater than younger persons. For example, the largest age group of Negroes in Illinois was that between 35 and 39 years. In a normal distribution of the population the largest numbers usually fall around the ages 5 to 19 years. Deaths are not so frequent in this age period. So far as the Negro death rate is concerned, with a large sector of the population it is like being born at the age of 20 or 26 years. A million new people exposed to health instruction and the right health regulations of cities would be expected to lessen mortality. It has. Although the Negro population of the north has increased over 50 per cent, many cities have actually decreased their Negro mortality. Since 1915 the infant mortality rate among Negroes in cities dropped from 181 in 1915 to 128 in 1921, a decrease of 33 points, while that of the whites dropped from 39 to 72, a decrease of 27 points. Compared with native whites, there is still a great disparity; but it should be remembered that while the native white infant RHEUMATISM Why suffer with Rheumatism.

By order of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. mortality rate at its present best is 74. that of New Zealand is 68. notably seen in the present book in that of New Zealand is 48. But most significant of all recent findings in the report of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company on the two million insured Negroes, most of whom live in cities. This is a business organization with capital at stake, and can safely be trusted to avoid defending itself. Their figures show that in the two years, 1911-1921, the life span of Negroes at the age of 10 was 41.89 years. In 1922 the expectation was 46.74 years, an increase of 81% years or 13.1 percent. in the ten years during which a million Negroes moved north and twice that number moved into cities north and south. This report concludes that "the northward migration of the race in recent years has probably not, had any effect adversely or otherwise upon the mortality rates of this insured group. In 1922, 41 per cent. of the company's business on Negro lives was done in the south and southwest, and, while this figure is slightly less than that for former years, the change of residence has apparently not had any effect on the life expectancy figures quoted anon. The fact is that north and south the condition of the urban Negroes has steadily improved and there is no evidence that this tendency will slacken." Negroes of Atlanta Make Fine Contribution ATLANTA, Ga., Nov. 30.—A notable feature of the Community Chest Campaign for $600,000 which was successfully conducted here last week was the active and generous operation of the colored people, who made 4,264 subscriptions to the fund, aggregating $33.0$1. This sum about equals the total amount appointed in the Chest budget to the six participating Negro organizations, indicating that in Atlanta, at least, the colored population is reaching the edge where it can care for its own anthropologies and need no longer be a burden on the community in the region. More surprising from the total was the fact that the second large individual subscription of the whole campaign was one of $2,300 made by Human Perry, colored, in the name of the Service Company, an organization which affiliates eleven Negro-budnese enterprises with a total capitalization of $5,500,000. Officers and employees of this company subscribed a total of $8,050. E. R. Black, the campaign chairman, paid an appreciative tribute to the spirit shown by the colored people in this great community enterprise.

The foreign members of the division in particular displayed great interest in the harvest festival, which was held on the 18th inst. many of them buying fruits and grain and presenting them to the local and paying double the amount at the sale of these things at the festival in order to help the finances of the division. Long before the time, set for the opening of the harvest festival services the hall was well packed with an eager crowd of enthusiastic members and friends. The hall was beautifully decorated with huntings of red, black and green, portraits of, Booker T. Washington, Frederick Douglass, Antonio Mareo, and the Hon. Marcus Garvey. In the centre of the hall was a dragged column laden with bananas, apples, jamaican canes, etc. and on a large table in front of the platform a fine assortment of eggs, tomatoes, grapes, lemons, coconuts and vegetables. Croons, bites and evergreens helped to make the hall attractive. At 3.30 sharp the president called the meeting to order and the opening ode was sung. The lesson of the day was read by Brett Samuel Jordan, followed by the sinking of the Te Deum. The president then welcomed the visitors and members in a neat speech and afterwards introduced Mr. C. A. Passley, who had kindly consented to act as chairman. Mr. Passley thanked the audience for the honor they had conferred upon him and entered upon his duty. The following persons contributed to the program: Mr. David Reid, Mrs. Oliver, Miss L. Maclaren, Miss B. Palger, Miss Jones, Miss Adalde Henry, Mrs. L. A. Osborne and Miss Beatrice Robinson. At the close of the service and after the chiefman had made his closing remarks the president returned, thanks to him and all those who had contributed to the program. The meeting was then brought to a close with the singing of the Doxology. On Monday evening the members and friends returned to purchase from the division that which, they themselves had given, and we sold everything, even to the sprigs of crolons.

DEFENSE FUND SUBSCRIBERS WHOSE LIBERALITY WE GRATEFULLY ACKNOWLEDGE THE MARCUS GARVEY APPEAL AND DEFENSE-FUND The Expected First Blow Has Been Struck at the Race's Liberty THE MARCUS GARVEY APPEAL AND DEFENSE-FUND The Expected First Blow Has Been Struck at the Race's Liberty Everybody Must Subscribe Now 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 made 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 manhood is asked to subscribe to this fund.

MEMBERS (jing to establish themselves here and there will amount to nothing until they grasp this colossal Idea. In today's "World" there was something akin to that idea in the amalgamation of the Caesarian. They were thought before to establish Anglo-American clubs or associations, but the idea was now conceived and they had begun to get busy. In this article in the "World," the speaker said they were not afraid to admit that they were afraid of the Negro. They did not say it in so many words, but if one read between the lines they could see fear in the hearts of those people. They further stated that whatever race the Negro had anything to do with misregulation or amalgamation that race has dwindled and gone to negroes. We ought to be proud of that, Mr. Burroughs said. It went to show that if we continued to mix with other races there will be no question that the whole world will be Negro. The day of Ethiopia is beginning to dawn and the other races are not asleep to this great fact. It behoves us therefore to reduce that a great responsibility goes upon our shoulders as individuals and collectively as a race. Born of Discontent The cause of the coming into behalf of the Universal Negro Improvement Association was discontent. There are a large number of people in the world and a larger number within our race that are contented and God only knows what they are contented with, because they are not given a square deal if even they have a million dollars. Where social advantages are concerned and where economical and industrial advantages are concerned they are not taken into consideration as equal to other people. We of the Universal Negro Improvement Association represent the discontented members of our race; the cause of the association being established was discontent. We are not satisfied. If we were we would not have been handed to the clerion call sent out by Hon. Marcus Garvey. If we were satisfied with our job, if we were satisfied with industrial conditions and with our social status we would not have followed him one foot of the way, but he took it that every one of us with the exception of a few writers represented the discontented people of our race and since discontent is a sign of progress, the Universal Negro Improvement Association has come along with a program for working out the decay of the BOTTLE 400,000,000 Negroes of the world. Whether or not all cared to accept the program at this juncture, we are determined that the day will come—and it is not far distant—when those people on the outside who continue to fight this movement will find themselves seeking shelter under the wings of the Universal Negro Improvement Association or begging for an opportunity to exist. No Wonder Therefore if the cause was discontent there must be an effect and the effect produced by discontent was unrest. The whole world is in a state of unrest not so much from the last world war as from the coming together or the uniting of the darker peoples of the world. He undertook to say without fear of contradiction that no man before Marcus Garvey has ever succeeded in bringing together any race of people universally. Conquerors have succeeded in subjugating people, but no man outside of Marcus Garvey has ever promulgated a doctrine for bringing together a race of people in all parts of the world. Is there any wonder, he insured, that some of the men calling themselves leaders but who are really salesmen of the race that are selling us out are opposed to this movement. It is because they know that it has a program that is bound to succeed because the cause that brought it about is discontent and the effect is unrest. ```markdown ``` The greatest number of fighters against the movement are within our ranks. The white man is not fighting us as much as we are fighting among ourselves. There was evidence of that every day, every week and every month—men who are willing to tear to pieces because they cannot rule, in keeping with the old time slogan of "rue or ruin." The Universal Negro Improvement. Association has given to the world a program that is all embracing. Its constitution is a masterpiece and the intelligent men of the world have admitted that the preamble is one of the greatest pieces of literature ever written by any man or any set of people. It has caused other races to think and to realize that amalgamation among themselves is needed, and if the white man has found it necessary to organize Anglo-American clubs or associations, how much more then should we organize ourselves into an African commonwealth. It is up to us therefore to assist in putting over this program. It cannot be done unless we undertake it. Whole heartedly as individuals and also collectively, and every man or women who refuses to connect themselves with this movement is a coward and a traiter to the race. It is time for each one of us to wake up to our responsibilities and play the part we are best suited to play in the accomplishment of the program. (Applause). LADY H. V. DAVIS SPEAKS UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSN. SENDING DELEGATION TO AFRICA Big Program for 1924-1925—Large Number to Repatriated to Homeland At a meeting of the New York Local Division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association held at Liberty Hall a few weeks ago it was announced that a delegation from the association will leave shortly for Africa to visit several places in the interest of the great movement and the Negro peoples of the world. The personnel of the delegation was named and evoked great enthusiasm and satisfaction. The 1924 program of the association will be announced immediately on the return of the delegates from the motherland.

Cook, de fama universal que en tiempos adquirido renombre mundial por m supuesta hazaña de haber descubierto el Polo Norte, ha sido condenado en Fort Worth, Texas, a catorce años y ocho meses de presidio en la penitenciaria de Leavenworth, Kansas, y al pago de doce mil pesos. Planes Para Dividir y Por Consigulente Dominar Generalmente Nucetra Raza—Sus Miembros en América Deben Estar Alerta Para Contrarrestar la Opresión y la Destrucción—Nuestra Organización Esta Determinada a Salvar la Raza a Toda Costa—Política de los Gobierno Coloniales El proceso ha excitado la execución popular contra el reo, no solo por su personalidad en el mundo científico, sino por lo inconfesable de sus procedimientos. En union del doctor Cook ingresarán en la prisión, frece complica; todos ellos han sido convictos de haber usado la correspondencia para defraudar al público, alegando que iban a constituir una poderosa sociedad explotadora de petroleo, denominada Petroleum Producers' Association. Hora es ya de que realizemos el fatal resultado de la batalla que ha venido librándose, a consecuencia del conflicto existente entre ciertos elementos de nuestra propia raza. Todp estó es mas que infortunio por el simple hecho de que si alguna raza debiera sentir en si el espíritu de unificación es la nuestra; desgraciadamente parte de nuestro propio pueblo se halla muy poco conforme con la sangre heredada de los autores de sus dias, slendo este el principal motivo injustificado para tanto contratiempo y tantas desavenencias entre nuestro elemento. Entre los inculpados figura E. J. Cox, uno de los comiserantes más populares en el estado de Texas y cuya reputación como aviador era grande en los Estados Unidos. El período de condena de este último ha sido de ocho años el importe de la multa ocho mil pesos. El juez federal del distrito, John M. Killits, fustigó severamente todos especialmente a Cook v a Cox. Como contendientes en la lucha establecida, no hemos tenido la menor intención ni hemos estado nunca interesados en el ataque personal del elemento en referencia, sino que considerándole como el mayor obstáculo en el sendero de nuestro adelanto, exponemos sus actos ante la opinión pública, toda vez que estos tiendan a perjudicar la existencia de una raza fuerte y viril, a cambio de la ventaja inmediata derivada de los pocos que ignorantemente intentan escapar una ley, dádiva de la gran Naturalleza, su propia sangre africana. El magistrado dijo a este último después de notificarle la sentencia Cox, Ud. ha llevado su cantar a la fuente con harta frecuencia. Acaso le sea encilabor encontrar razones para justificarse de este hechos punibles en que ahora se ve envuelto, pero la opinión publica jamás le perdonaría El juez se dirigió luego al doctor Cook el cual mantenia la vista fija en el suelo y el cuerpo apoyado en el pupitre. El tribunal le invita a que se defienda y justifique. Tiene usted algo decir? La intención de este elemento de la raza nos somete a grandes discernimientos y llegamos a la conclusión de que ellos laboran de una manera perpicaz, con el propóseito de introducir en la sociedad americana un nuevo órden de prejuicio, no tanto entre el blanco y el Negro como lo es entre ciertos elementos y la mayoría de los miembros de la raza. Ellos se esfuerzan por su proximidad hacia la raza blanca, presentándole clandestinamente aquello que creen superior en nuestra raza en ellos reflejado, y si los blancos social y económicamente les reconocen como tal, se constituirán en el elemento intermediario entre el blanco y el Negro, en la creencia de que su fuerza física y moral será usada cu conjunción con la de la raza blanca, para oprimir al resto de la raza que tiene un verdadero reconocimiento de si misma. Al observar que el reo no desplegaba sus labios le sacudió rabiosamente su tralla foreuse con estas recriminaciones que resonarán para siempre en sus oidos aunque vivila mil años. Cook, no tiene usted ni un atono de decencia; sólo a un degenerado puede ocurrirse el hacer objeto de sus robos a huérfanos y viudas; no le otormentan de noche las imágenes de sus infelices victimas? Cómo puede descansar? El siglo veinte le consideraba un tiempo como una de sus glorias, hoy se convence de que es usted solamente carne de presidio. La historia ha sido pridiga en tipos de esta naturaleza; un tiempo vivieron Ananias y Saphira; su recuerdo se habia olvidado ya, pero aun le teuemos a usted. Este elemento descontento de nuestra raza recurre a todos los medios para obtener del blanco americano la misma clase de reconocimiento que otros pueblos han proporcionado al mismo elemento y en iguales circunstancias; y nosotros como defensores del decoro y de la integridad de la raza, creemos que estos señores han ido muy lejos en este sentido y como uno de nuestro muchos deberes que cumplir, damos la voz de alerta para combatir este grave peligro que nos afronta no solamente en el hemisferio occidental, sino en el universo entero, quedando de hecho demostrado el origen de las hostilidades entre ese elemento y nuestra organización. Cook, el genero de negocios que la tratado usted de explotar es de lo más sucio que se puede conchir y me imagino que sus abogados han debido proveerse bien de perfume pañuelos para tratar de tales bajecas sin sucumbir a su olor nauseabundo. Si yo procediera go con arreglo a la ley, sino seguir nu criterio personal, no le dejaría andar suelto, es usted demasiado peligroso. Alfonso XIII Diplomático Alfonso XIII fue a Roma con dos misiones especiales. Una era ante el Quirinal y tenia el propósito de cementar una entente entre la nueva situación formada el año pasado en Italia por Mussolini y en el año actual en España por el general Primo de Rivera. La otra misión del rey era ante el Vaticano y trataba de obtener la regulación de la indole y número de las ordenes religiosas en España, que han llegado a ser un pesado fardo sobre el tesoro nacional. El elemento de nuestra raza en Norte America no esta al corriente con el sistema del gobierno colonial inglés para dominar los pueblos de tez mas oscura, pero estos individuos han hecho un estudio de ello y usan la malicia de que son dotados para instigar la implantación de un sistema idéntico, sin causar la menor sospecha de la gran masa de nuestra raza aquí domiciliada. Doquiera nuestra raza forme la mayoría de la población y no hava suficientes miembros de la raza blanca para dominar, garantizando así su existencia, los gobiernoos coloniales de Francia e Inglaterra tienen por sistema crear un cuerpo intermediario entre ellos y los nativos, el cual consiste del elemento mas claro de aquella comunidad y tal elemento es excepcionalmente educado y próspero. En ambas misiones, el rey al paecer ha tenido exito. Italia recibirá el apoyo moral de España en su tentativa de extensión de su prestigio en el oriente del Mediterráneo, al propio tiempo que España se esforzará por consequirir que Italia obtenga un puesto en la conferencia de Tanger. Quienquiera que donieñe Tanger constitúira una sombra para la importancia estratégica de Gibraltar y con ello amenazará el Levante y la entrada posterior a la India inglesa. Inglaterra no permitirá a ninguna nación aislada que se fortaleciera en Tanger. Geograficamente, Tanger forma parte de la zona españica de Marruecos; politicamente, se haalla en forma nominal bajo la autoridad del sultan de Marruecos, que personalmente se ha reconocido como vasallo de Francia. Si España consigue que Italia tome parte en la conferencia de Tanger, la posición de Inglaterra se habrá reforzado para su proyecto de internacionalizar el puerto. Los gobiernos hacen uso de ellos como instrumentos para que mantengan a las masas de su pripio pueblo a la retaguardia del progreso, conciediendo a aquellos ciertos privilegios, tales como lazos conyugales con la raza opuesta y admisión en ordenes y circulos sociales, de cuyos privilegios pueden solamente disfrutar aquellos que hayan contribuido con su fuerza moral, fisica y financiera a la fracción dominante de la raza blanca, ayudando de ese modo al establecimiento permanente de su administración sobre la gran masa de la población nativa. Por medio de la práctica de tal política, Inglaterra y Francia pueden conservar el dominio sobre sus colonias en Africa y en las Antillas. En países donde los blancos constituyen la mayor parte de la población y nuestra raza es la escasa minoria, en donde se teme algún peligro por la inmiscuición de algún enemigo extrangero, y en donde se hace necesario usar la fuerza combinada de ambos elementos para protección del pats, la mayoría blanca también cede a las clases mas claras el disfrute de ciertas ventajas económicas, en detrimento de la gran masa de nuestro propio pueblo. Es informado para España que algunos de los artículos del Concordato de 1851, regulando las relaciones entre la Iglesia y el Estado, hubieran posteriormente, sido incorporados a la constitución del reito. Por el texto de ambos documentos, sólo dos ordenes religiosas; que se designan por su nombre, serian autorizadas a a establecerse en España, quedando para elligirse una tercera más por acuerdo entre el Vaticano y el gobierno español. Gobierno españoles sucesivos han intentado adoptar restricciones legislativas, pero, como el Concordato se infringia el Vaticano declinaba sancionarlas. No obstante, sancionó en 1910 la ley del candado prohibiendo el establecimiento de ninguna nueva orden religiosa en España, y hasta le dio vida vida cuando la influen- Cual clarin de alerta, la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra expone su propósito en pro de la liberación y felicidad de la raza, así como también el propósito de aquellos que por su propia conveniencia personal tratan de colocar a la raza en posición de retroceder hasta ser vencida y tal vez exterminada. El sistema colonial en las Antillas y en Africa debe ser destruido y nunca permitido en Norte America. No queremos, hemos de repetir, ningún nuevo tipo ni ninguna nueva raza; simple y exclusivamente anhelamos el progreso en general de la raza del presente, la cual pueda erguirse diciendo el mundo: Constituiimos un pueblo de hombres dignos con respeto y amor a su raza. cin de ha dirionne religiosa en la cueria tras la de hacer desaguar la ley dona alex desaguar. Minutras el antiguo religioso impresa en España, no puede ligarse a nihil mundos viviendas con el Vaticano. Se albir el camino camino al general Primo de Rivera restablecido la autoridad de la corona, precisamente como Mussolini había restablecido la De Italia. Con su éxito en el Quirinal y en el Vaticano, es posible que también el Rey Alfonso haya logrado mejorar la buenas relaciones entre las dos instituciones que le han recibido como visitante. Tomando Medidas Preven La única forma en que los ciudadanos de Nueva York pueden escapar al terror del bandidaje es llevar el temor a la ley al corazón de los bandidos. La policía ha aprehendido a dos individuos que confiesan haber estado complicados en un robo y asesinato a plena luz del dia en Brooklyn. El someter rapidamente al tribunal a estos individuos, junto con sus cómplices es una segura forma de poner fin a la lao del crimen. En la era que precidió a la detención del tepiente de policía Becker y a los cuatro criminales que el utilizaba, la situación en Nueva York era muy semejante a la que ha existido recientemente. Delincuentes humildes se han hecho bastante osados para cometer crimenes audaces. Ha habido una impresión general de que la ley seria fácil de burlar. Tenian confianza en la seguridad de la protección que se les concedía por hombres que no tenian verdadera influencia para protegerlos. La sentencia de Becker y sus criminales - ayudantes restableció la tranquilidad pública. Enseno a ignorantes y degradadps que son capaces de convertirse en los más teibles criminales que era más seguro respetar las leyes. En los ultimos dos o tres años ha habido otra avalancha de crimenes, y el repetido fracaso de las autoridades en la captura de algunos de los perpetradores de delitos ha envalentonado los malhechores a tratar de hacer ricos al anuparo de la extensión del terrorismo. La lista completa de delitos que han sido cometidos desde 1920 seria desconsoladora. Y sin embargo, pocos de los delincuentes principales han sido jamás presentados a los tribunales. Al parecer ahora la policía se ha hecho de dos individuos que no vacilaron en matar cuando el asesinato fue un acompañamiento necesario del robo.

MAHATMA GANDHI, EAST INDIAN MYSTIC The Man Who Aroused the Millions of His People to a Sense of the Wrongs Hitched Upon Them by British Overlordship Romain Rolland is writing the first biography of Mahatma Gandhi, the man who has eluded three hundred million people to revolt, shaken the foundation of the British Empire and introduced into human politics the greatest religious impetus in the last two thousand years. This biography will be published in the Century Magazine beginning with the December number. Mr. Rolland says there is no reason why a Westerner should not understand Gandhi's doctrine as well as Gandhi understands those of our great men, for it should not be forgotten that this Asiatic believer has translated Ruskin and Plato and quotes Thorean, admirer Mazzi, reads Edward Cappenter, and that he is in short, familiar with the best that Europe and America have produced. According to Mr. Rolland, Gandhi's fundamental argument is against modern civilization, which he says his civilization in name only and that in reality it corresponds to what ancient Hinduism called the dark ages. "The nucleus of modern civilization is machinery. Age of iron. Heat of iron! The machinists has become a monstrous tool. It must be done away with. Thousands of years ago India leapt the art of self control and mastered the sequence of happiness. India must go back to the sources of her ancient culture—the play and the spinning wheel." From Mr. Rebaland, we learn: "The Gandhi was an English is present as long as he could return a grain of talbim in England's locality. We learn also that Gandhi, a devout Hindu, was greatly influenced in his doctrine of moderation by the New Taoism." Republic of Khiva Has New Constitution The Soviet of the People's Republic of Khiva (Khovatsky) is entitled to change the Constitution of that company the new mining production will be deprived of political rights and the country will be called homeport "The Soviet, Socialist Republic". This local charge entails a new development, because as a matter of fact, Khiva formed since long ago a part of Soviet Russia, being dependent in all administrative and economic affairs upon the Central Executive Committee of Turkestan. 10,000 IMMIGRANTS RACING INTO NEW YORK (From the New York American) Another race, with admission to America as the prize, began at midnight, November 29, when eight transatlantic liners steamed into quantin with the vanguard of 10,000 immigrant of the December quota. Four of the ships had been lying at anchor in Gravesend Bay. The others arrived during the night. Before Monday all passengers of seventeen liners will be landed on Ellis Island. In addition, three steamers—the Bragg, Colombia and Britannia—have been diverted to Philadelphia to expedite handling the arrivals. Arriving today are the Estonia, Drottningholm, Minneakala, Frederick VIII, President Fillmore, Rotterdam, Orbita and Dante Alighieri.

The President-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, on his tour of the nation, has been approached by hundreds of loyal members and well-wishers of the Association in complaints against the treatment they have received from several of the various departments of the Organization at headquarters, and from individual officers and employee at headquarters, as also against the conduct of certain Executive Officers whilst on the field. The President-General is grieved of the many complaints and hereby needs to announce that a Complaint Department is now established and attached to his office. All persons having complaints to make against any department officer or employee of the Organization will please write to COMPLAINT DEPARTMENT P. 3.—If you love the Organization and desire to see it improve its service to the race, then you will not fail to report any irregularity on the part of officials, officers and employees of the Organization, caring not whom the person be if he or she has done anything improper or unconstitutional, report it. If you have any complaints send them in now and don't wait until it is too late. Biden not then my intention to remain in America, but to return to Jamaica. The organization had its proper officers elected, and I was not an officer of the New York division, but president of the Jamaica branch. On the second split in Harlem thirteen of the members conferred with me and requested me to become president for a time of the New York organization so as to save them from the politicians. I consented and was elected president. There then spring up two factions, one led by the politicians with the books and the money, and the other led by me. My faction had no money. I placed at their disposal what money I had, opened an office for them, rented a meeting place, employed two women secretaries, went on the streets of Harlem at night to speak for the movement. In three weeks more than 2,000 new members joined. By this time I had the association incorporated so as to prevent the other faction using the name, but in two weeks the politicians had stolen all the people's money and had smashed up their faction. The organization under my presidency grew by leaps and bounds. I started The Negro World. Being a journalist, I edited this paper free of cost for the association, and worked for them without pay until November, 1920. I traveled all over the country for the association at my own expense, and established branches until in 1919 we had about thirty branches in different cities. By my writings and speeches we were able to build up a large organization 'of over 2,000,000 by June, 1919, at which time we launched the program of the Black Star Line. To have built up a new organization, which was not purely political, among Negroes in America was a wonderful feat, for the Negro politician does not allow any other kind of organization within his race to thrive. We succeeded, however, in making the Universal Negro Improvement Association so formidable in 1919 that we encountered more trouble from our political brethren. They sought the influence of the District Attorney's office of the County of New York to pursue out of business. Edwin P. Kilroe, at that time an Assistant District Attorney, on the complaint of the Negro politicians, started to investigate us and the association. Mr. Kiiroe would constantly and continuously call me to his office for investigation on extraneous matters without coming to the point. The result was that after the eighth or ninth time I wrote an article in our newspaper, The Negro World, against him. This was interpreted as criminal libel, for which I was indicted and arrested, but subsequently dismissed on retracting what I had written. During my many tilts with Mr. Kilroe the question of the Black Star Line was discussed. He did not want us to have a line of ships. I told him that even as there was a White Star Line we would have, irrespective of his wishes, a Black Star Line. On June 27, 1919, we incorporated the Black Star Line of Delaware, and in September we obtained a ship. The following month (October) a man by the name of Tyler came to my office at 56 West 135th street, New York City, and told me that Mr. Kilroe had sent him to "get me," and at once fired four shots at me from a .38 caliber revolver. He wounded me in the right leg and the right side of my scalp. I was taken to Harlem Hospital and he was arrested. The next day it was reported that he committed suicide in tail just before he was to be taken before a City Magistrate.

The publicity given to radio by the peoples of the world is of such importance that the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association cannot in confidence neglect this apparent effort of a universal change, in human affairs to remain unnoticed. Every night in every city, town and hamlet, the other waves travel through space, through walls of brick, stone and iron at the marvellous rate of 180,000 miles per second, carrying messages, music, instrumental and vocal, and educational talks. During the day the more powerful stations in New York and Chicago send their daily offerings to a listening world. Millions of people in every walk of life, in the crowded cities or in the driest reaches of the forests, hear what is going on in the remotest parts of the world. Think of what radio is doing to help a new industry. Of the millions of dollars invested and of the tens of thousands of men and women who are receiving remuneration and employment!

Think of Philadelphia listening to Cleveland; and New York talking to Chicago! It is my candid belief that through radio we, the members of the U. N. I. A., can get closer together. With this specific object in view I am asking our editor to kindly publish my radio letter each week, in our paper, together with a series of lessons from the setting up of a radio set to the more intricate details of the more delicate and powerful machines now on the market. The reader will be instructed in these lessons how to build up a set, or how to buy if he does not desire to build one. Members wishing to bring new ideas or to ask questions on this subject will receive prompt attention from me. Write me on anything you may wish to know about radio, addressing your communication to the Radio Editor, 56 West 133th St., or to myself at the same address. RADIO LESSON No. 1 There are five essential parts, the antenna, lightning switch, ground connections, receiving set and phone. The electric wave, signal or sound received on a receiving set comes into the set York that month. Delegates came from all parts of the known world. Over 25,000 persons packed Madison Square Garden on August 1 to hear me speak to the first International Convention of Negroes. It was a record-breaking meeting, the first and the biggest of its kind. The name of Garvey had become known as a leader of his race. Such fame among Negroes was too much for other race leaders and politicians to tolerate. My downfall was planned by my enemies. They laid all kinds of traps for me. They scattered their spies among the employees of the Black Star Line and the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Our office records were stolen. Employees started to be openly dishonest; we could get no convictions against them; even if on complaint they were held by a magistrate, they were dismissed by the grand jury. The ship's officers started to pile up thousands of dollars of debts against the company without the knowledge of the officers of the corporation. Our ships were damaged at sea and there was a general riot of wreck and ruin. Officials of the Universal Negro Improvement Association also began to steal and be openly dishonest. I had to dismiss them. They joined my enemies, and thus I had an endless fight on my hands to save the ideals of the association and carry out our program for the race. My Negro enemies, finding that they alone could not destroy me, resorted to misrepresenting me to the leaders of the white race, several of whom, without proper investigation, also opposed me. With robberies from within and from without, the Black Star Line was forced to suspend active business in December, 1921. While I was on a business trip to the West Indies in the spring of 1921 the Black Star Line received the blow from which it was unable to recover. A sum of $25,000 was paid by one of the officers of the corporation to a man to purchase a ship, but the ship was never obtained and the money was never returned. The company was defrauded of a further sum of $11,000. Through such actions on the part of dishonest men in the shipping business the Black Star Line received its first setback. This resulted in my being indicted for using the United States mails to defraud investors in the company. I was subsequently convicted and sentenced to five years in a Federal penitentiary. My trial is a matter of history. I know I was not given a square deal because my indictment was the result of a "frame-up" among my political and business enemies. I had to conduct my own case in court because of the peculiar position in which I found myself. I had millions of friends and a large number of enemies. I wanted a colored attorney to handle my case, but there was none I could trust. I feel that I have been denied justice because of prejudice. Yet I have an abundance of faith in the courts of America, and I hope yet to obtain justice on my appeal. Association's 6,000,000 Membership The temporary ruin of the Black Star Line has in no way affected the larger work of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, which now has 900 branches, with an approximate membership of 6,000,000. This organization has succeeded in organizing the Negroes all over the world; and we now look forward to a renaissance that will create a new people and bring about the restoration of Ethiopia's ancient glory. Being black I have committed an unpardonable offense against the very light-colored Negroes in America and the West Tudies by making myself, famous as a Negro leader of millions. In their view no black man must rise above them; but still forge ahead, determined to give to the world the truth about the new Negro, who is determined to make and hold for himself a place in the affairs of men. The Universal Negro Improvement Association has been misrepresented by my enemies. They have tried to make it appear that we are hostile to other races. This is absolutely false. We love all humanity. We are working for the peace of the world, which we believe can come about only when all races are given their due. We feel that there is absolutely no reason why there should be any differences between the black and white races if each stop to adjust and steady itself. We believe in the purity of both races. We do not believe the black man should be encouraged in the idea that his highest purpose in life is to marry a white woman, but we do believe that the white man should be taught to respect the black woman in the same way as he wants the black man to respect the white woman. It is aicious and dangerous doctrine of social equality to urge, as certain colored leaders The temporary ruin of the Black Star Line has in no way affected the larger work of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, which now has 900 branches, with an approximate membership of 6,000,000.

In the receiving set they are converted into an electric current which produces the sound in the 'phone'. The 'phone is either one or a pair of telephone receivers worn on the head of the listener or operator. The purpose of the lightning switch is to protect the receiving set from damage by lightning. It is used to connect the antenna directly to the ground when the receiving set is not being used. Fire prevention necessitates this. The principal part of the station is the receiving set. This set may be a simple crystal receiving set, which can be made at home at a cost of about $3 to $5, or may be bought in your home town or otherwise. Crystal sets can only receive messages within a distance or radius of about 25 miles. No loud speaker can be used with a crystal set. The antenna is simply a wire suspended between two elevated points, such as a house and a tree, or two trees, one of them very close to the house. It relieves one of the necessity of creating one or both antenna supports. The antenna should not be less than 30 feet above the ground and its length should be about 30 feet. PICTURE OF THE DELEGATES OF THE UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION, TO THE PEOPLE OF AFRICA AND THE DELEGATES TO VISIT EUROPE FOR THE NEGRO RACE It is, in fact, desirable to have the far end as high as possible. The "lead-in" wire, or drop wire from the antenna itself should run as directly as possible to the lightning switch. If the position of the adjoining buildings or trees is such that the distance between them is greater than about 40 feet, the antenna can still be held to a 30-foot distance between the insulator by increasing the length of the piece of rope to which the far end of the antenna is attached. The rope tying the antenna insulator to the house should not be lengthened to overcome this difficulty, because by so do, that black and white should get together, for that would destroy the racial purity of both. do, that black and white should get together, for that would destroy the ruin purity of both. We believe that the black people should have a country of their own where they should be given the fullest opportunity to develop politically, socially and industrially. The black people should not be encouraged to remain in white people's countries and expect to be presidents, governors, mayors, senators, congressmen, judges and social and industrial leaders. We believe that with the rising ambition of the Negro, if a country is not provided for him in another 50 or 100 years, there will be a terrible clash that will end disastrously to him and disgrace our civilization. We desire to prevent such a clash by pointing the Negro to a home of his own. We feel that all well disposed and broad minded white men will aid in this direction. It is because of this belief-nq doubt that my Negro enemies, so as to prejudice me further in the opinion of the public, wickedly state that I am a member of the Ku Klux Klan, even though I am a black man. I have been deprived of the opportunity of properly explaining my work to the white people of America through the prejudice worked up against me by jealous and wicked members of my own race. My success as an organizer was much more than rival Negro leaders could tolerate. They, regardless of consequences, either to me or to the race, had to destroy me by fair means or foul. The thousands of anonymous and other hostile letters written to the editors and publishers of the white press by Negro rivals to prejudice me in the eyes of public opinion are sufficient evidence of the wicked and vicious opposition I have had to meet from among my own people, especially among the very lightly colored. But they went further than the press in their attempts to discredit me. They organized clubs all over the United States and the West Indies, and wrote both open and anonymous letters to city, state and federal officials of this and other governments to induce them to use their influence to hamper and destroy me. No wonder, therefore, that several judges, district attonneys and other high officials have been against me without knowing me. No wonder, therefore, that the great white population of this country and of the world has a wrong impression of the aims and objects of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and of the work of Marcus Garvey. Having had the wrong education as a start in his racial career, the Negro has become his own greatest enemy. Most of the trouble I have had in advancing the cause of the race has come from Negroes. Booker Washington aptly described the race in one of his lectures by stating that we were like crabs in a barrel, that none would allow the other to climb over; but on any such attempt all would continue to pull back into the barrel the one crab that would make the effort to climb out. Yet, those of us with vision cannot desert the race, leaving it to suffer and die. Looking forward a century or two, we can see an economic and political death struggle for the survival of the different race groups. Many of our present-day national centers will have become overcrowded with vast surplus populations. The fight for bread and position will be keen and severe. The weaker and unprepared group is bound to go under. That is why, visionaries as we are in the Universal Negro Improvement Association, we are fighting for the founding of a Negro nation in Africa, so that there will be no clash between black and white, and that each race will have a separate existence and civilization all its own without courting suspicion and hatred or eyeing each other with jealousy and rivalry within the border of the same country. White men who have struggled for and built up their countries and their own civilizations are not disposed to hand them over to the Negro or any other race without let or hindrance. It would be unreasonable to expect this. Hence any vain assumption on the part of the Negro to imagine that he will one day become President of the nation.

Use a lightning switch. For a small antenna this switch may be the ordinary porcelain base, 30 ampere, single-pole double-throw battery switch. These switches, an ordinarily available, have a porcelain base about one to four inches. The "lead-in" wire is attached to this switch at the middle point. The switch blade should always be thrown to the lower clip when the receiving act is not actually being used and to the upper clip when it is desired to receive signals. The ground wire for the lightning switch may be a piece of the same size wire as used in the antenna of sufficient length to reach from the lower clip of the lightning switch to the clamp on the ground rod.

Every Man Who Has Lost the Vital Force of Youth May Be Restored Every Man Who Has Lost the Vital Force of Youth May Be Restored Scientist. Makes Wonderful Discovery—Says No Man Under 100 Years Should Feel Old A new discovery is said to have been made by a scientific study of Serbian mountain people who scientists have longer than any other people. It is said this discovery should add many years to lives of people in all parts of the world and quickly restore many strength, youthful vigor, grace and beauty lost by neglect or abuse. Scientists agree that the secret of health and vigor lies in the internal glands and if these glands are stimulated and kept in normal activity, man might live forever and alliments such as tired, worn-out feeling, weakness, nervous debility, sallow complexion, new of health, peak immunity, sensitivity, aceravity, restlessness at night, pain, headache, melancholy, despondency, etc. should disappear. The similarity encountered by the medical world has been to find the right invigorator for the glands.
