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) Ril) eg ENT bent. te Te INEeing WORLD, SATURDAY; DECEMBER. i623 = Mes a ES ae E fo 2 SE z 6 MEMENT TO SETTLE WHITE ALIENS: ON.

H HEW TO THE LINE HE good old saying holds guod. “Hew to the line; let the I chips fly where they may!” Ata time when there was the greatest Spposition within the cultural hgads of seme mem- bers of the race against Dr. Washington and his idea of industrial education, of preparing the young people of the race to have edu- cated 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. . . Jt is much that way with the Universal Negro Improvement Association now. Those who are opposed to it and insist upon say- ing 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 busi- ness to be engaged in. ‘Take Dr. DuBois and tlie sniash-up of his Pan-Alrican Congress as a horrible example.’ And, however ‘much «thers 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 Europedn, usurpers and explojters, 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 what- ever flag they may find themselves as denizens, subjects or citizeiis, as by so doing they will be all the better able, morally and finan- cially. 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 fine and Iet the chips fly where ‘Lev may ' Vil VRepHsT AGAINST HIGH TAXATION AND MISRUL.

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."

"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. HAZEL He talked of how his labors failed. His early hopes had died; The achievements he had struggled for The gods of fate denied. He talked, but did not quite reveal, The burden of his soul— The hidden cause that intervened Between him and the goal. He told his friend in confidence The sadness of his plight; With what reluctance he was forced At length to drop the light, But, oh! how often, when we speak, We shelter dark and deep Some truth germane that we defend And, speaking, fall to speak. Twas so with him, for, while he claimed The gods had been unfair, The truth arose within his breast And throbbed insistent there, To every man a chance is given, And each his fortune brings, Tis not in our stars, but ourselves, That we are underlings, Harrison Coun.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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! What can the members of the U. N. U. do to join in the great struggle today to better understand among men and women, and how will it help the Association as a whole and the members as individual?

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. Governor of the State or Mayor of the city in the countries of white man is like waiting on the devil and his angels to take up their residence in the realm on high and direct there the affairs of paradise doing the antenna "lead-in" rod would be lengthened. The wire may be No. 14 or 15 copper wire, either bare or insulated. The end of the antenna farthest from the receiving set may be secured to the insulator by any satisfactory method, being careful not to kink the wire. Fan connectors can be used. Draw the other end of the antenna wire through the other insulator to a point where the two insulators are separated by about 20 feet, twist the insulator so as to form an anchor.

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.
