Paper Cover, $1.25 Address Book Dept., U. N. I. A., 56 West 135th St., or Mrs. Marcus Garvey, 133 West 129th Street, New York It is the duty of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and its leaders to at all times prepare the minds of the people for the handling of those visitations that generally afflict the race through changes in the material affairs of our civilization. Very few among the millions have paid any attention to the many warnings we have issued to the race; the few, however, who make up the stalwart membership of the Universal Negro Improvement Association are always prepared to assist themselves out of these crises that generally bring with them great suffering among the people. Threatening Economic Danger Among the many threatening dangers confronting the race at the present time is the tightening up on our racial, economic prosperity. Ever since the war period, our race has been allowed many opportunities in the industrial life of the world. This was necessary because of the abnormal state of affairs. The war, with its aftermath, produced such upheavals, both in industry and politics, that the powers that be were forced, even against their will, to admit the Negro into certain occupations, and open to him certain lines of employment that under ordinary circumstances would have been closed to him. This abnormal state of affairs is about to be broken, and the American nation, as well as the world, are about to return to their normal state, hence we may expect a terrible reaction in the labor market among Negroes. Close Study of Conditions A close study of conditions reveal to us a state that leads us to conclude that in another short while millions of our race will be thrown out of active employment, and the year 1924 threatens to be a hard and trying one industrially for members of our group. Hence the Universal Negro Improvement Association sounds this warning note to the millions of Negroes in America, the West Indies, South and Central America, to prepare themselves for this reaction, and to so arrange that by our own effort and energy, we will be able to stem the tide of suffering and economic devastation. Financial Conservatism We preached to the people during the war period, a financial conservatism, however, very few paid any attention. They squandered and spent lavishly, with the result that financially we find ourselves at the present time nearly in the same position we were before the 1914 break. One or two more repetitions of economic suffering among Negroes, as in the periods of 1910 to 1914, will mean the blotting out from our American and Western civilization of millions of Negroes who will be unable to withstand the rigors of hardships and starvation. Must we not prepare against it? It is for that that we of the Universal Negro Improvement Association work, and that is why we are making the fight for the creation of a national center in Africa, where we will be able to engage ourselves in the industrial and commercial development of a country of our own race. It is natural to expect that any economic setback in BUILDING A NATION OF OWN ONLY SOLUTION WE MUST STRENGTHEN OURSELVES BY OUR OWN LABOR THE INDUSTRIAL AND COMMERICIAL DEVELOPMENT OF A COUNTRY OF OUR OWN RACE IN AFRICA the United States of America or the established white world will mean that the white populations will be considered first, and provisions will be made for them, as against the interest of any other alien or foreign group. In America the Negro has always harbored a peculiar idea about his rights, believing always that the white man has it as an obligation to provide for him, but gradually we are realizing the fallacy of this belief, and the sensible and soberminded of us know that if we are to survive in the civilization of the 20th century we have to do for and by ourselves. That is why the Universal Negro Improvement Association finds it its duty to unceasingly agitate for the promotion of a national homeland. True to Themselves White men are naturally bound to be true to themselves in all things economic, social and political. They are going to have their hands full taking care of their own, and the condition forced upon them by a world reaction. We, therefore, must make an effort for ourselves, and as this old year is about to pass away, and we are making resolutions for the conducting of ourselves in the New Year, let us not forget that the resolution most necessary for us to make is that of self-reliance—the effort to strike out doing for ourselves, determined by our own energy and the Grace of God to provide for our own race and its posterity. Terrible to Make Mistake For the Negro to make a mistake at this time will mean his economic and political doom. Soberly he must apply the deepest amount of thought to his present and future conditions, for the world is closing close around him. Not even because the world so much desires to crush and grind him out of existence, but because other groups of the world realize that it is to their interest to first preserve themselves. The economic and political wars of the future, which future is near approaching, will be fought purely on the question of self-interest. Each and every group, realizing its duty to self, will strike out with but one vision, and that is of self-preservation; naturally, therefore, we will not blame the white or yellow groups if they, in the prosecution of their own interest, ignore the petition and call of the Negro for help. Now is not the time for man FIRST EDITION GOING FAST THE BOOK AND OPINIONS OF to call for help, now is the time for man to strike out and defend his own rights. The reign of sin and selfishness precludes man from listening to the appeal of his brother, hence it is unfair to expect the white man to reach down and lift us up, when he himself has to keep himself up in the position from falling, because of others who desire to pull him down. We have to climb by ourselves. This has become the natural law of the 20th century, the Grace of God being with us. So that the Universal Negro Improvement Association sounds this warning to the four hundred million Negroes of the world: "Look out for yourselves, strike out in self-reliance and self-help. If you falter, you shall fall. March on, having before you the vision of service and the desire to rise." - Buckle on Armor of Determination Let every member of the Universal Negro Improvement Association buckle on, therefore, his armor of determination to see the great program of the organization through. In 1924 we shall reach down further than ever in laying the foundation upon which we will build the permanent structure of Negro security. We take it, therefore, as a duty to inspire each and every one within the fold, to look forward to the great objective of African redemption. While the outer world gradually closes its economic and political doors against us why shouldn't we industrial and commercial development of a country of our own creation. Remember, men and women, that this is the period that promises good or ill for the race today. Those that are thoughtful and visionary enough will organize in their own effort to secure themselves, and others, careless and thoughtless, will naturally go down in the great conflict for the survival of theittest. As the Anglo-Saxon looks to himself and relies upon his own native ability for the salvation of his race and country so must we as a people rely upon our own native African ability to lift the motherland out of her chaos, making her free in the fullness of a national power, out of which will come a protection that will be thrown around the four hundred millions for her sons and daughters. Let us look up, move onward and go forward, realizing that there is a place for us, if we can hold it, in the affairs of man. With very best wishes, I have the honor to be. P. S. May I not make another appeal to the officers and members of the branches, chapters and divisions of the Universal Negro Improvement Association all over the world to make a real effort to furnish the Secretary-General's office of the Parent Body with all financial reports up to date for 1923 before December 31st? Please let us all co-operate to place the Parent Body in a fit condition to carry out its 1924 program. This can only be successfully done when each unit of the association responds freely and liberally to its constitutional obligations. All members should see that their Divisions, Branches and Chapters become financial before the close of the year. Ask your secretaries to read their last financial reports to the Parent Body and the acknowledgments of same. This will insure the Parent Body being in a better position to carry out its elaborate program for the coming year. M. G. WHAT DID THESE WHITE PEOPLE DO WITH THESE MILLIONS? THE INTERCHURCH WORLD MOVEMENT Under the Caption, "Interchurch World Movement Collapses; Dissolution is Asked," the New York World of December 13 states, in a news article The Interchurch World Movement of North America, which was formed in 1830 to the forward as far as possible a co-operative spirit and co-operative action' between the churches and denominations of the country," admitted failure after three years of inactivity and hopes of reorganization on a smaller scale, and in a petition filed in the Supreme Court by a majority of the directors asked permission to dissolve. Arguments on the application will be heard this morning. The petition, after setting forth the purposes for which the Interchurch World Movement was formed, explains, "it was discovered by the board of directors and officers of the corporation that the aforementioned objects could not be accomplished in the particular manner undertaken by the corporation." The decision to dissolve followed "careful and lengthy investigation," the petition adds. Failure of the movement was predicted three years ago, when, owing to the apathy of the public in contributing only $178,000,000 when $338,777,572 was campaigned for, the ex- New York World (white), Dec. 13. Yet to refer to the Interchurch Movement as a failure would be erroneous. It did not accomplish its original purpose, which was no less than the rehabilitation of Protestant Christianity as a dominant force in the business and social life of the entire country, but the insurance of the report on the steel strike was itself more than sufficient recompense for all the outlay of time, effort and money that went into the enterprise. That document remains a landmark in our industrial as well as our sociological history. That document produced it can be a boost of richer results in comparison with its investment than is the fortune of the majority of campaigns, religious or secular. By H. VINTON PLUMMER Director of Publicity, U. N. I. A. Before another issue of The Negro World appears a great holiday event will have taken place, having been celebrated throughout Christendom by the Christian world. That event is the day of the birth of our Saviour, Jesus Christ, and it is called Christmas. We all look forward to that day as one of rejoicing and celebration, the giving and reckoning of possessions and gifts, the exhilaration of celebrations and greetings, exemplifying the exhortation, "Peace to men on earth, good will to all." My last article (Lesson 2) briefly dealt with a one-tube set, giving a few short points along that line. At this point I think it not out of place to say that attempts are now being made to broadcast messages to Japan, a distance of 12,000 miles. Being twice the distance ever attempted to send a radio wave, if the attempt is successful it will be an epoch-making event in radio, and America will be in direct communication with Japan. Last week VOR, broadcasting station at Newark, J., talked with the Hawaiian islands, only 6,000 miles away, and since then buses have been made to reach Japan. LESSON 3 Inside Antenna In some cases the conditions will not allow the erection of an outside aerial. This may be overcome by erecting an inside aerial or antenna. This can be done either in the aerial or, if there is no aerial, in the same room where the receiving set is located. When an aerial is erected in the airtie use from four to eight wires 20 to 40 feet long, depending on the number of wires. For example, four wires 40 feet long or eight wires 20 feet long. Try to get from 150 to 175 feet total length. On an aerial of this kind, the wire Buy Christmas Seals and Save Human Lives Five thousand seven hundred seals this year from TUBER- CULOSIS, in New York City are 5700 more many. They fight more he kept up! We are sure you will help. The collection way to do all is to MAKE CHRISTMAS SEALS. Indiana International Assoc., Inc. 1200 North Street, New York NY 10001 executive committee voted to bring its campaign for $1,320,214,551 to an immediate close. In the petition the corporation's assets are listed as office furniture, $252; cash, $2,543, and $1,221 deposited in escrow on a claim of William J. Thompson for $27,000 against which the organization has a counter claim for $6,000. The outstanding accomplishments of the movement was its report on the steel strike, wherein it favored the strikers. Subsequent issues of the New York World failed to give any information of the "argument on the application," but Sunday's issue carried a short editorial, an excerpt from which, side by side with a "Black Star Line" parody, we give below. The interchurch movement received $176,000,000, and after three years was apparently in debt. The Black Star Line, Inc., received from all sources nearly a million dollars for putting over one of the most expensive enterprises in the world and after three years went out of business. Millions of words of censure and criticism were written in white newspapers of the failure of the Black Star Line, a Negro pioneer undertaking. The white movement receives nothing but praise from white newspapers: New York World (black)—(if it existed) Yet to refer to the Black Star Line as a failure would be erroneous. It did not accomplish its original purpose, which was no less than the rehabilitation of the African spirit as a dominant force in the business and commercial life of the entire world, but the enhancement of Negro thought and outlook was itself more than sufficient recompense for all the outlay of time, effort and money that went into the enterprise. The Black Star Line's splendid failure remains a landmark in the Negro's racial and economic history. The movement that produced it can boast of richer results in comparison with its investment than is the fortune of the majority of ventures, religious or secular. should be connected together at the lead in forming a one lead in wire, while at the other end each wire should be insulated from the other. Where it is not convenient to use this type of aerial a single wire 150 to 175 feet long stretched around in the attic or in the room where the receiving set is placed will prove very satisfactory. Care should be taken to have the wire properly insulated from the building at each point where it is suspended. The lead-in from either of these types of aerial or antenna can be run either inside or outside of the building to the receiving set. In each case it should be carefully insulated from the building, and we recommend the use of an insulated wire for lead-in. Standard No. 14 or No. 12 rubber covered strand wire which is used by electric wiresmen is very satisfactory, or if stranded wire is not obtainable, the solid wire will work equally as well. All antenna materials are obtainable from any radio or electrical supply company. In joining two wires such as the leadin and antenna the ends of each wire should be scraped until bright, then twisted firmly together and soldered. This will make a positive and permanent electrical contact. There are certain conditions which should be guarded against in erecting the antenna. One is the presence of a large amount of metal touch as a tin roof) near the aerial wires. It is not advisable to suspend the aerial over a metal roof or structure. If it is impossible to overcome this, the bad effect can be eliminated to a large degree by calming the wires as high as possible above the roof or structure. If the antenna is suspended near trees, care must be taken to keep the wires from coming in contact with the limbs. The social should always be at right angles to high tension wires and should be suspended in as near a horizontal position as possible and so supported as to prevent swinging of the wired or wires. 135th St. Y.

THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1923 Efforts to Discard Them for The English Language Thought to Be Suicidal by a Brilliant Native DO NOT DENATIONALIZE (From the Gold Coast Leader) It is the considered opinion or some that the West African should neglect the cultivation of his language and adopt English for even every-day use, and also discard the use of his national costume even on suitable occasion. With neither opinion will the careful thinker agree, certainly not even a superficial observer of the Gold Coast. Those who advance these views may be quite sincere and may mean well by us. It is possible to say that the neglect of, say, Faniil for English leads to those avenues of thought and literature which are most helpful in an age of stress and competition, the more so as there is no standard literature of our own. All that may be due in a way. But it has got to be remembered that the soul of a people is its language, and that, once that is destroyed, its inspiration is gone. The African Abroad The African Abroad There are certain modes of thought and depth of feeling which a Fanti, for example, can never express in any other way save in his own language. And you will find with the African abroad, whose forefathers were forcibly torn away from their homes, that they preserve unto this day those peculiarities of expression, in some cases literal translation of some African idiom, which has shaped the Creole dialect and the dialect peculiar to our brethren of the Caribbean group. It is apparent from these peculiar dialects that the African abroad has fastened, like grim death, upon that living touch which preserves the soul of a people. Committing National Suicide From the foregoing it is clear that we shall be committing national suicide if, as a people, we lose any opportunity of preserving our language and developing a literature of our own. Indeed, any one who is born in the country and to whom Fani! is not an acquired language must deplore any suggestion of doing away with it. It is the language of diplomacy, and it lends itself to poetic expression of the highest order. The depth of imagination and the beauty of rhythm in our ordinary "Sanko" songs are hard to heat, and when you come to think that these are improvizations, then it seems a pity that they have not been recorded and improved. Example of the Irish At the same time it is not to be overlooked the importance and the necessity of a common language for Imperial purposes. As member of the British Empire, we must be capable of entering into the soul of its institutions literature and sociology with a view to proper understanding. Incidentally the English language also becomes a convenient medium for the several Imperial groups to exchange thoughts and ideas. But that does not imply the neglect of one's own vernacular language. See, for example, how tenaciously the Irish have clung to their mother tongue, and how keen they are in preserving its literature, although so intimately associated with England for centuries. And that is one of the main inspirations of Irish nationality. And so it will happen that, although English must serve the purposes of a common vehicle of expression for the African abroad and at home, it is conceivable that in the not distant future there will be chairs in our universities for the proper study and cultivation of Fani, Hausa and Yoruba as standard African languages. It is known that in India today Sanskrit is being generally taught to serve the same purpose as I am advocating for some of our principal African languages. To Be Well Dressed There is an acceleitive pleasure in meeting a person well dressed, and to be well dressed does not necessarily mean coat and trousers and a top hat. Let it be admitted that coat and trousers for convenience cannot be beaten, and that in the evolution of dress it marks a practical development. The Japanese soldier adopts coat and trousers as does the African mine hand jumper and shorts. It is a matter of common sense and common convenience. But what sensible 'African' would like to see the day when our Amamihim, for example, appear in conference in top hats, grey trousers, frock coats and spata? There would be such incongruity in their natural grace and manner and the time of get-up as to present a ludicrous scene. It would positively show a denim-multiple people, and when you will have mounted your frock-coated Amanihin in palanguing with big umbrellas playing about them, you would be having an exhibition approaching bedlam. The African Soul No there is, something positively African in our African get-up, ancillary to the make-up of the soul of the people, which we cannot abandon and thrive. So that here also, although we may not escape adoption, for like reasons of the common convenient form of dress, yet we would be committing national suetle; if we stavily and soullessly rejected our own national costume with modifications commemorate with the progress of the people. Have we not, seen in our day such picturesque adaptations of our national dress so peculiarly tasteful and African, as must command the admiration and respect of the most fastidious? Do Not Ape From this standpoint we must view with intelligent understanding the practice of some of our leading men who occasionally appear in African costume, as a useful object-less. It is true that it involves a double wardrobe. But it is a necessity of our imperial relationship, and would be an incentive to thrift in order to maintain decent appearance on suitable occasions. On the whole, the Rev. Mr. Balmer, the first principal of Mfantalpin School, conceived the proper development of African nationality when he encouraged African costume on speech days and other occasions and the study of the vernacular as a subject of the school curriculum. It would seem we are now drifting. Will some one with the soul and the tact of a Sarbah bring us back, and may there be Balmer's to second the effort! For don't you make a mistake. The soul of a people in its language, and to ape others is to be denationalized. IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR NEW CITIZENS Naturalization Regulations Where Our New Citizens Come From — To Improve New Citizenship COMMISSIONER'S REPORT WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.—Sweeping changes in the naturalization law are recommended by Raymond P. Christ, Commissioner of Naturalization, in his annual report to the Secretary of Labor. Briefly, they call for a clearer definition of the special naturalization privilege granted to all honorably discharged soldiers and sailors serving during the world war to conform to peace time conditions; a uniform sealman's discharge certificate for the elimination of frendidual naturalizations; the use of depositions to prove residence within the same State in which petition has been filed instead of requiring physical presence of two witnesses to prove State residence; repeal of the prohibitions in the naturalization law against filing of declarations of intention and the hearing of naturalization petitions within thirty days of election days and the posting of naturalization petitions for at least ninety days before hearing; the extension of the period within which unlawfully arriving aliens may be deported for not less than five years after illegal entry and prohibition against their naturalization until at least five years continuous enactment of a provision requiring annual registration and enrollment of all aliens as a means of checking the wholesale railroading of workers into the United States and subsequently their admission to citizenship irrespective of illegal entry in the United States, to facilitate the taking of steps for the deportation of those who are barred under our immigration statutes and to legalize the admission of those found worthy of remizing, placing them in the position where they have nothing to hide, so that they may take their place as worthy Americans, side by side with other Americans of similar worth; and that naturalization proceedings be brought entirely within the administrative branch of the government and thereby relieve the judiciary of the tedium of naturalization, with the right of appeal from the Commissioner of Naturalization or a Naturalization Commission to the appellate court of the United States in whose jurisdiction the alien petitioner resides. Commissioner Christ's recommendations for this remedial legislation are supplemented by a recital of clearly denoted benefits in the candidates for citizenship and the citizenship of the country. They are based upon facts and are consistently in line with the budget plan of efficiency and economy in the administration of the "business" of the government relating to the process of assimilating the political family of the United States. During the past year, 145,084 were admitted to American citizenship - 24,844 of whom were from Italy, 22,621 from Poland, 17,129 from Russia, 14,953 from Great Britain and possessions (except Canada), 12,694 from Germany, and the remainder from smaller countries and their possessions.

FILIPINOS TAKE CASE TO PRESIDENT COOLIDGE FILIPINOS TAKE CASE TO PRESIDENT COOLIDGE WASHINGTON, Doc. 15.—The plea of the Pilipinos for independence was presented today for the first time to the Coolidge administration. Manuel Roza, head of the Philippine mission to the United States, accompanied by Pedro Guavara, resident commissioner, appeared before Secretary Weeks and later before President Coolidge, to whom they presented resolutions recently adopted by the Island Legislature asking for the recall of Gov. Gen. Wood, for a guarantee of the degree of autonomy granted under the Jones act and for final determination of the form of government the islands shall have. The President took the requests under advisement, making no statement as to the general policy of his administration. Prior to today's conference, however, he had let it be known that the administration was standing firmly behind Gen. Wood, although willing to consider any protests arising from his administration, and that he favored a grant of complete autonomy to the Philippines as soon as self-government became evident. Mr. Roxas, who is speaker of the House of Representatives of the Philippines, will have further conferences both with the President and Secretary Weeks. MISS PARCA KELLY Miss Parca Kelly is a loyal member of the Dayton, Ohio, division. A willing worker and a race patriot, she has done much to advance the work of the association in her community. We thank and compliment her for her recent contribution of twenty-five dollars to the African Redemption Fund. future, according to Commissioners Christ, under the recently adopted plan for simplifying the administrative machinery by establishing contact between naturalization examining force and the applicant for naturalization before he files his naturalization petition instead of after. Under this plan the field officer will be able to adjust such defects as may be disclosed by his examination and insure the filing of a petition free from the risk of dismissal because of legal defects: "In short, the Government is also becomes the 'friend' of the adopted son instead of acting in the time-old conception of binding, rather than allying our foreign-burn to become citizen." To improve the currency of the country the bureau has supplied the public schools of 2,361 communities throughout the United States with 229,395 copies of the Federal Citizenship Tax Book and its several supplements. Under the law this textbook is furnished by the Government to teach English and citizenship to candidates for citizenship in attendance upon public schools. A notable feature of the report brings out the fact that 22,200 declarations of intention were filed by women under the "Cable Act" of September 22, 1922, which accorded separate citizenship rights to women. The law providing independent naturalization and citizenship for married women has resulted in the extension of women's classes all over the country. Statistics compiled subsequent to the preparation of the report show that women in attendance, upon public school classes for adult immigrants averaged 35 per cent, of the approximately 250,000 reported to have been enrolled in 1922. In New York City alone, 151 classes were conducted for women, with an enrollment of 1,557 up to February 1, 1923: Hibbing, Minn., had six Americanization home teachers, each with an enrollment of over 502; Jackson, Mise, conducted classes in 31 homes; Kansas City, Kan., had 30 and similar favorable reports have come from other sections of the country. In spite of the political turmoil in Europe and the tendency against organized government, the year's work resulting from the co-operation of the Bureau of Naturalization with municipalities throughout the country shows a high wave of optimism and an increasing spirit of Americanism in available local where patriotic exercises for new citizens were held. Commissioner Crist points out in his report that all of these activities in so far as the cost of administration by the Bureau of Naturalization is concerned, including the cost of publishing the Citizenship Text Book and the administration of the naturalization law, are being paid for practically in their entirety from the fees paid by candidates for their naturalization GANDHI IDEA WINNING OUT IN Listen to BESSIE SMITH sing these weird, wee- ful, wailing songs Any Woman's Blues and Cemetery Blues (Record 13001-D) 75c The finest talent among colored or these records available for Columbia.

Some of the States in the different districts are the supreme cause of the disturbances and riots in this country. They have divulged our domestic customs and given Government the chance of enstooling, destooling and interfering with our native customs.

Cooley, who, since 1917, has been associate professor of household arts in Teachers Gardens, Columbia University, and who is the author of a number of text books, spoke recently in Oden Hall to the Hampton Institute workers and students on "Home Economics Education." Miss Cooley referred to the rapid development of home economics education since the organization, in 1910, of the American Association of Home Economics. She described briefly what is being done in elementary and high schools, as well as in normal schools and colleges, to give girls and young women the fundamentals of a home economics education, which includes work in the preparation of luncheon dishes, study of budgets, care of children, lessons in home furnishing, lessons in sewing and the making of clothes, household management, health improvement, family relationships, and cafeteria management. "Home economics," said Miss Cooley, "is not just cooking and sewing, which are valuable, but includes bacteriology, chemistry, art, economics, and sociology. I have found home economies emphasized abroad and at home as a very important study in elementary schools, in high schools, in colleges, in continuation classes, and in research work. We have tried through home economies subjects to develop the character of the boys and girls who come to us in these classes. In home economies study people learn how to cooperate and to be courteous and responsible. The purpose of home economics education, to quote a friend, is to have every home in this country economically sound, mechanically convenient, physically healthy, morally wholesome, artistically satisfying, mentally stimulating, socially responsible, spiritually inspiring, and founded on mutual affection and respect." --- Canada appears to be sliding away from prohibition, with the Yukon, British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba and Quebec in the wet ranks.

Mr. Das, a lawyer, was the chief Ileutenant of Mahatma Gandhi, who originated the non-co-operation policy for native Indians. Mr. Das is one of the strongest advocates of India's independence, but is opposed to violence to achieve it. This news, with the fact that the Legislative Council of the Bengal Government has resigned because of the success of the Swarajalists at the recent elections, is exclaiming much attention here. The defeat is taken, naturally, as a fresh indication of the growing strength of the home rule movement. "The event will doubtless be noted by the future historian as a landmark in the annals of the 'indian peoples' comments, the Daily Telegraph. The victory of the home rule extremists is interpreted at the moment, however, as a symptom rather than as marking the impending accomplishment of the Swarajalists' aims. The elections to the Provincial Councils and the Legislative Assembly have been in progress for a fortnight and in most cases the efforts of the extremists to capture seats have not been very successful. Bengal is an exception. But the number of Swaraj members already elected, to both Council and Assembly increases. This, it is recognized, will add to the government's difficulties, although it will be sure of a substantial majority, for it is empowered to nominate forty members of the Assembly. Mr. Das is the ablebli and most popular of the Nationalists' leaders in Bengal and fields great influence among the students. During the political trials, when Lord Minto was Vilcero, he made the ablest defense of the prisoners, most of whom were acquitted. Quite recently he resigned his legal practice and has devoted himself entirely to civilization and propaganda. Though the leader of the Calcutta bar, he lives in the greatest simplicity and has placed all his wealth at the disposal of Gandhi. After the Volunteer Associations were declared illegal, Lord Ronald Shay, the Governor of Bengal, in the course of a personal interview asked Das to dissociate himself from those organizations, in which case the Government would not proceed against him. But he refused, assumed entire responsibility for the organizations and openly defied the Seditious Meeting Act which prohibited public meetings under certain conditions. In December, 1921, when President-elect of the Indian National Congress he was arrested in Calcutta and charged with being manager of an unlawful association. He was convicted and sentenced to serve six months simple imprisonment'. His wife was arrested but released; their daughter it still taking part in Home Rule demonstrations. American Savings Recently it was cause of congratulation that savings deposits had risen a billion in a single year. That is far eclipsed by the statement that American life insurance companies sold this year $11,710,000,000 of new policies. That makes the total insurance of American lives $55,000,000,000, more than in all the rest of the world. The increase of insurance this year by $1,335,000,000 was above even 1320.

The also of the Labor Party in England to a controlling force in the government of Great Britain and simultaneously the contemplated forming of a new government in Bengal, India, with the party of Mahatma Gandhi as the controlling power, were taken by Hon. Marcus Garvey tonight in a remarkable speech on the subject of "The Gradual Evolution of the Masses," as an example of what may be accomplished by the exercise of patience and perseverance applied to any movement or undrinking. With these references Mr. Garvey brought home formally the welfare of Negroes through the guidance and leadership of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, availing to the point where they also will control if they exercise patience and perseverance — qualification which will not only them to become discomposed by such attacks or robuits. It shows, and Mr. Garvey, "what can be accomplished from sucking to a program. And" he English workman, human being to the point where he is going to control Great Britain, and as the Indian is going to govern in Bengal by sticking together, so do I feel the town is coming, if 400,000,000 Negroes ack together, when they will form themselves into one of the strongest governments of the world. The program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, he continued, "is one that will take time; but if you will stick long enough to it as the people stick to the Labor Party of England and as the Indians stick to the principles of Mahatma Gandhi, even as the Labor Party is becoming the controller of the government of Great Britain, you can wolve into being your own own and build up a government." He can stand to none in the world.

STEWART & BURRELL 101 West 190th Street NEW YORK, N.Y. year; but it can be done only with the whole-hearted co-operation and sincere faith and belief of its members. Mr. Garvey placed particular emphasis on the significance of the delegation sent by the Association to Africa during the past week, saying, that the work that the delegates were sent to do is one that will bring to us, when they return, new encouragement and new hope without which we may as well sing our requiem mass. He warned of the danger ahead if Negroes did not now prepare themselves to meet the economic crisis, which was surely coming and which will affect them more than any other group of people. While discussing this question, he referred incidentally to the N. A. A. C. P. as an instrument that was doing irreparable harm to the race. The N. A. A. C. P., he said, from its lack of statesmanship in its leadership, is doing the race more harm than one could imagine. He referred to specific instances where that organization, by its methods, was antagonizing the sentiment of the white people in America, and added that the Negro is not in a position politically, financially or economically to threaten the American white man. Other speakers were the Hon. G. E. Carter, first vice-president of the New York local, and the Hon. James O'Mealy, High Commissioner General. Following in the text of the speech, HON. MARCUS GARVEY'S SPEECH Hon. Marcus Garvey spoke as follows: My subject for tonight is "The Gradual Evolution of Masses." There are some people who have absolutely no perseverance and no patience. If you have anything, in your mind to accomplish and you stick to it long enough you will ultimately put it over. Some of us are not blessed with the patience to go through with anything started. Through that, failure generally accompanies us through life. Take a retrospective view of yourself and to enumerate the many things from childhood started by you or identified with you, that you have made failures of because you never stuck to them to the end and you will find nearly every second, person in this building tonight contributing to such a failure. You have either lost money in something or lost time in something that you did not have the patience and perseverance to stick to and see through to the end. It is either your memory or some material thing that you believed that you would have benefited by in a way and in the end you said, "I will not contribute anything more to this thing and I will not give me more of my time," and the thing to you becomes a failure. Sometimes you have the surprise of doing the thing working out a great success with the perseverance of somebody else and then you will say, "Well, if I knew, I would have stuck to that thing." It is the general sentiment and attitude of a large number of us. But, believe thus; that anything that is worth while and stuck to long enough is generally realized by the persons identified with it. Intellectuals and the Masses Intellectuals and the Massees I have said that to draw to you this picture: Once upon a time and generally in some places up to now only a few men who were exceptionally learned and intellectual were able to monopolize the affairs of the world. In the early ages, the cleric, the great savants and sages were the men who monopolized and ruled the affairs of the world. From that class of people the world got its noblemen, its kings and rulers and statesmen, and in that group of fellows you would find wealth and happiness and comforts of all kinds to the exclusion of the other people—the great masses who had to suffer. Take the period of Rome and Greece coming down to recent days—that group of fellows called the intellectuals—the learned men—were the fellows who held the world in the palms of their hands. The poor people cried out, but commonly their voice was not heard. They cried out against the injustice meted out to them, but their language was not of such as to impress these intellectual men, those who HAVANA CIGARS A real Christmas gift from premium impaired Chocolate from Upper East Side, 49171 grown in Purchase Bldg.

Box 34, Station L NEW YORK CITY THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1923 from their higher intelligence ruled them and ruled the world. But this discontent among the masses spurred them on to organization. Gradually out of their own group they evolved sufficient intelligence that was able to direct them in the way that they ought to go for the purpose of freeing themselves, from this apparent inhuman overreliability. The higher intelligence that stood at the top refused to recognize and hear them in their complaints even through their organization. They were still oppressed and kept down, because in their organization they were not sufficiently strong to throw off the kind of things that were deep rooted—the tyranny that framed them or held them down. But the leaders of the masses had sufficient confidence in time—had sufficient vision of the future where larger numbers of those common people would get together and evolve an intelligence probably not as large as the fellow who has ruled the world for that length of time, but sufficiently to enable them to understand what means and methods they have been kept down. As, for instance, in England, the masses of the people there, life in other countries, were kept down for a long while. Out of these common numbers they years ago organized themselves into labor organizations for the purpose of combatting the higher intelligence that ruled them, from a King to the Prime Minister, or from the Prime Minister to the Duke or to the Baron or to the Lord. Immediately when they started their organization they were not sufficiently strong to throw off this higher intelligence and the influence thereof, but they had patience and perseverance. And what has happened? A British government that has for centuries and controlled only by the privileged class, directed by the highest intelligence of the country—a government that has stood only for the highest within itself in education and in ability, is today confronted with an opposition that springs from the masses of people who have been crying out for these many centuries against the oppression forced upon them by the privileged crowd, and but last week we read of the possibility of the Labor Party of England, which really represents the masses of the people—the suffering people of England—people who have suffered for so many centuries—we read of the possibility of that party—the party of the people—becoming the new government of England. Once upon a time we had one man representing the Labor Party and the masses of the people in Parliament; then we had two; then we had a dozen and from the one to the dozen they have now multiplied to become the strongest party outside of the existing government in English politics. They are so strong as an opposition against the existing government that the government cannot continue without the co-operation of those people who represent the man lowest down; who represent the masses that have been crying for these many centuries. The rumor is that in another short while the representatives of the poor people of England—the representatives of the poor people that we call the masses will become the government of England. I speak of England because the latest happening there is of such importance as to arrest the attention of the ordinary man who reads the newspapers. But what is true of England is true also of the entire world today. The man lowest down is coming into power. The fellow who has been struggling for centuries carrying the weight of the intellectual crowd is now about to free himself, and he is able to do it simply because he had patience and had perseverance to stick long enough to the realization of this thing. What does it mean? It means, therefore, that in another fifty years we are going to have a changed world because a different class of people will rule the world. English Labor's Rise And that is why we of the Universal Negro Improvement Association have been asking our members to stick long enough, because in the change that is to come you also will evolve like the Labor Party of England evolving from one man to the strongest opposition party in the country. As Labor about to accord to government and control in England and other parts of Europe, so will the matter masses of Negroes through the leadership of the Universal Negro Improvement Association evolve to the point where they also will control. But you must have patience; you must persevere; you must have the quality that will not cause you to be discouraged of any setbacks or any rebuffs. The Labor Party in England that probably tomorrow morning or a week from now will become the government of England, had many rebuffs—the fellows at the top fought them for centuries; they imprisoned them; some of their leaders were executed; they had everything to discourage them; but they had sufficient confidence in the future; their vision was large enough to foresee the day when their leader, Ramsay MacDonald, may become the leader of Great Britain. The same spirit that has caused the English workingman to foresee the possibility of becoming the government of his country is the same spirit that kept the Indians in India together even though their leader Mahatma Gandhi has been incarcerated and sentenced to prison for six years. Simultaneously with this great wave that has swept England carrying the workingman—the man lowest down into power, simultaneously with that has come the news from Bengal in India, one of the strongest provinces in India, that the party of Mahatma Gandhi has become the controlling party in government as, against, the privileged Class of Indians. Thus, like the privileged class of Englishman, who represent the higher intelligence, who has kept them down for centuries in India, they now have to give way to the representatives of the poor people and the people lowest down; and today the news says that the Governor-General of the province of Bengal has called upon the representatives of these common people who represent Mahatma Gandhi to form the new government of Bengal. When Mahatma Gandhi was sentenced to prison, naturally I suppose there were Indians like some of us Negroes, who thought that the non-cooperationist movement in India had collapsed because Gandhi was imprisoned. There were songs who left the movement. But what a beautiful day it must have been for those who stuck to the party of Gandhi—what a beautiful realization must have come to those who followed that great Indian leader, to realize that out of their perseverance—out of their stick-t耐久ness they are able to evolve today in one of the strongest provinces of India a government directed by them. Following the success that has come to the Non-Cooperationist Party in Bengal we can assume that in another twenty-five or ninety years, not only Bengal, but all the provinces of India will be governed by the masses of the people or the representatives of the masses of the people. Sticking to a Program It shows what can be accomplished from sticking to a program; and as the English workingman has evolved to the points where he is going to control Great Britain as the Indian has evolved to the point where he is going to govegan in Bengal by sticking to together, so do I feel the day is coming of jumboo and Negroes stick together when they will form themselves into one of the strongest governments of the world. There is nothing I say, that cannot be accomplished if you stick long enough for the accomplishment of it. If you desire to end to the clouds and you have patience you will get there. If you have patience enough to stick to your program, if you want to get to the North Pole you will get there. But the trouble is that some of us have patience and others have not. The fellows who have succeeded in the world—the nations and those that have succeeded—are those who have patience and perseverance to the end. The men like John D. Rockefeller who regarded today as the world's greatest man, and Catherine and that group of men—they must have had many heart-aches and disappointments when they started out in life. They have had many barriers placed on them when they made an effort to succeed like all of us; because there is nothing that can accomplish at the next attempt. They had their heart to live but without a penny. They had perseverance with determination to prove that they had and proved that before the end of their lives realized their step. The Delegates to Africa The work that our delegates have been sent to do is off that will be to us when they return new encouragement and give to us a new hope, and, as I know, without this new encouragement or without this new hope we may as well sing our requiem mass, because, as Mr. O'Meally said, it is only a question of a few more months—it is only a question of a short time away from us—when you and I and all of us are going, to feel the great economic pinch in this country. You can hardly imagine it, but we have been talking about this thing—even during the war we tried to warn the people. Those of you who were in Liberty Hall will re- member all the things we said during the war period—what we said would happen immediately after the war. Our present condition and the fact that we are still in employment is because the world has not yet returned to its sober senses. But this great nation and other countries of the world interested in war conditions are endeavoring to bring about an adjustment of this world war condition. America at the present time has gone farther than she ever did before for this adjustment, and any time this adjustment is reached there is going to be a great economic and industrial reaction, and especially in the United States of America. America today holds its unique position simply because Europe has not yet settled down. The European has been fighting for the last five or six years to settle down, and when Europe settles down you may look for a terrible economic and industrial reaction in the United States of America—a reaction that is going to throw out of employment millions of men. Bear that in mind. And when that time comes the first group to suffer is the group that you and I represent. Before me I have a picture of horror: a terrible picture when it comes, of the Negro as soon as this adjustment takes place. As I have talked years and years ago and prophesied "Through I am no prophet, but only from the knowledge of a political student and a student of companies, and one who has gone into the depths of this Negro question and Negro problem. I can see absolutely nothing but sorrow ahead of us except we make some desperate effort to prepare now as we have not prepared in the past. We have not prepared; we have not heartened to the warning which we come to us through the leadership of the Universal Negro Improvement Association five years ago. We told the people of this country five years ago to prepare, if they have not prepared, then the consequences will be theirs because they have cured it themselves. Immigration Danger Alert Nepalese are very well known with their strong sense of pride on them. They are proud as they are proud of their country that they live in now. They are proud of their music and have something to move with. These are Nepalese who believe that they are permanently settled. You are invited, just being common, for moving together. If you have a pop group of the situation you will find that there is no one in this country that moves as quickly as the Negro that moves as often as the Negro. If you want to study the question, do know, compare of the different groups in this country, Italians, Jews, Chindus and Poles, alien groups, and移民 groups that is no group that is on the movie like the Negro. The Negro is now into town to town, he stays a week on month and goes again somewhere else. He is always moving. The most of the money that the average Negro earn now is going in railroad fare going from town to town to that the one another there, and things have not reached the worst yet.

The Negro is not in a position politically, financially, and economically to threaten the American white man. You understand that. He is not in a position to threaten the American white man. If he has sense as a leader he will so shape his program as to make it impossible, for the American white man to understand that he means him when he talks about the white man. That is where we divide from the N. A. A. C. P. We could have said a lot of things that the white politician could interpret as referent to him, but we know that if we take those things the Negro would be compressed. And that is what the N. A. A. C. P. is inconsistently or consistently doing. They are giving enough fuel to the white man of America to prepare the Negro's doom.

THE COMING OF JESUS that is born King of the Jews, for we have seen his star in the East, and are come to worship him? When Herod the King had heard these sayings he was troubled, and all Jerusalem, with him." (Matt. ii., 1-3) And the world has been troubled; as Herod and all Jerusalem were, ever since the coming of Jesus, who "came not to bring peace but a sword." Christendom was never more troubled than it is at this time, never more divided against itself, never more in open rebellion against the basic philosophy of Christianity, discontent, jealousies and greed running through all of it as the serpent winds in and out of the earth, with desolation and famine and death walking abroad in all of the lands of the Old World. What is the meaning of it all? But we get no answer from the East and the West is dumb. The three wise men who sought and found the young child went their way by stealth; fearing the wrath of the bloody king, and appear to have been in hiding ever since, and the star that led them appears to have been ignited, as men have since sought for it in vain. Average mankind in all lands is more educated, more intelligently inquisitive, than ever before, and, therefore, more sensitive in what it accepts as Truth, while Faith falters and Hope leans upon Charity, which seems too weak to lean upon its own gluttony, receiving all things whatsoever that are given or it can extort, and gives nothing in compensation. A large part of Christian mankind look at the situation that way, and are dismayed by the unfathomless emptiness of it all as sufficient salvation for "the ills we bear, the ills we know," and they do not appear to grow fewer and more comprehensible but more numerous and mysterious. And, yet, in the Christmas holidays, we all feel that it is a time of rejoicing, that Faith is still "the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen," and that we too, as the Elders and others mentioned by Paul did, may "obtain a good report," yet "received not the promise, God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect." And it is this "some better thing for us" which holds us to Christian dogma and the faith that God will not disappoint us in that which he has "provided" for us. The Negro World extends to its readers, to the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and its friends everywhere, and to Marcus Garvey, our splendid leader, and his accomplished wife, the compliments of the season, with the hope that the coming of Jesus was not in vain for them as others of the Household of Faith, to the end that we may make the world the better by our living as he made redemption possible for us all by his death on the Cross. We have to regret that we neglected to give credit to our valuable contemporary, Opportunity, for the splendid study of "The Colonial Literature of France," by Prof. Alain Locke, which appeared in the last issue of The Negro World. Prof. Locke is one of the outstanding scholars of the race, and is supposed to be at Lusor, Egypt, getting first hand information about the excavations of King Tut's tomb, conducted by Howard Carter, the American Egyptologist, in succession to Lord Carnarvon, who died last year while conducting the work. And Opportunity is fast making its way among the best periodicals of the country. THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN COMMITTEE EATS GROW THE National Republican Committee has reversed the Harding policy of driving the Negro out of the Republican party by reducing his representation in the National Convention and refusing to give him his proper share of participation in the Government of the party and the Nation. We believe that this has been done at the instigation of President Coolidge, who is not only a good politician but a very great statesman, as his first message to Congress discloses. At a meeting of the National Committee, held recently in Washington, Senator George Wharton Pepper of Pennsylvania introduced the resolution which restored the Republicans of the South to the standing they had before the adoption of the reduction program of the sub-committee at the previous meeting, and gave them besides twenty-three delegates under the apportionment finally adopted. The gains are as follows: Alabama, 2; Georgia, 4; Louisiana, 3; Mississippi, 8; South Carolina, 7, and Virginia, 1, and one at large to each of thirty-seven other States that voted for President Harding in 1920. The next convention, which will meet in Cleveland, June 10, will contain the usual number of Southern delegates, with the additions indicated, and there will be a total in the convention of 1,109 delegates, instead of the 1,036 planned by the sub-committee, Mr. Bascom Slemp of Virginia, the private secretary to the President, who devised up the reduction-scheme at the suggestion of President Harding, was not at the recent meeting which undid the work of his sub-committee. Evidently President Coolidge realizes that he has nothing to gain in a futile effort to break the solid South by crucifying Negro-the Republicans in the South and by offending them in the North and West by the futile effort. In that he showed himself a good politician. In sending the name of Walter L. Cohen to the Senate for confirmation as comptroller of customs at New Orleans, over the protests of the two Demiocratic senators of Louisiana, President Coolidge not only challenged the Republican majority in the Senate to vote against the confirmation, as they did twice in the life of President Harding, but he showed that he is a statesman with the courage of his convictions. That is a very great deal, especially in these times when so many Republican statesmen are playing the low part of small politicians on the race question and traditional Republican policy in the treatment of foreign and domestic questions of paramount importance. It is worth while to say that the action of the Republican National Committee, in restoring to the Republicans of the South their proper standing in the party, was brought about in large measure by the concerted protest of the Negro press against the reactionary policy of President Harding, and by the courageous fight our leaders made before the committee at its previous and its latest meeting. Those who are defrauded have to fight, or they will not only be knocked down, but the life kicked out of them by the enemy. This applies to the individual, to the group or to the race, here and everywhere. Fight for what is justly yours; fight all of the time. AFRICAN LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE MAKE FOR AFRICAN NATIONALITY IT is a very generally accepted fact that a common habitat, language and religion make for a homegencious people and a distinct nationality. An Italian philosopher laid this down as law, and there can be no reasonable appeal from it. We have not seen the question discussed with a lively sense of its application to the African people than in an article by a native African, signing himself "Ahinnana," published in our esteemed contemporary, the Gold Coast Leader, of October 20, and which we reproduce in another column of The Negro World today, under the caption, "African Nationality in Language and Literature." Mr. Ahinnana, in discussing the "opinion of some, that the West African should neglect the cultivation of his language and adopt English for every day use, and also discard the use of his national customs even on suitable occasions," reaches the conclusion that "it has got to be remembered that the soul of a people is it language, and that once that is destroyed its inspiration is gone. There are certain modes of thought and depth of feeling which a Fanti, for example, can never express in any other way save in his own language." He very wisely concludes that "we shall be committing national suicide if, as a people, we lose any opportunity of preserving our language and developing a literature of our own." But a real clarion note is the following: "Don't you make a mistake—the soul of a people is its language, and to ape others is to be denationalized." Mr. Ahinmana hopes that soon "there will be chairs in our universities for the proper study and cultivation of Fanti, Hausa and Yoruba as standard African languages." We consider this a very thoughtful and forward looking view of the question. The learned Americans and Europeans find it difficult to so master a language not their own as to catch the full spirit, feeling and meaning of it and reflect these in their conversation and in translations. Our great missionary associations could adopt generally the policy of teaching the people in their native language by first mastering it themselves and reducing it to a system, where this has not already been done, as well as teaching the people the industrial arts as the safest and surest way to conserve and develop their economic values and the productive resources of their country, this policy having already been adopted by some of our denominations working in the African soil. THE MISCHIEF MAKER much disturbed in its Dr. DuBois with such went out of his way to follow us even to drive us into the jaws of the sword must expect to have a Euffalo American says: "If Marc criticism of W.

How in the name of all that is synthetic and logical can Mr. Garvey "cease his severe criticism of Dr. DuBois in most of his recent editions of The Negro World?" The thing has been done and there was plenty of justification for the doing of it. A poet has said, "Nur even the future over the past has power; what has been—has been."

EDITORIAL OPINION OF THE NEGRO PRESS It is a fine spirit to have some of our countrymen, Birmingham Reporter. Khan officials are beginning to kill each other now. This should make it interesting—Baltimore Afro-American. We regard the statement of President Coolidge that refers to "outside interference" as a surrogate to the dictates of the South. That has been the foreword of the South ever since before the Civil War. It was the "outside interference" that saved the Union and freed the slaves. The white South has ever since that time continued to complain about outside interference every time any kind of movement has been started to help the Negroes to help themselves—St. Louis Argus. An imperative need of our time and of our people is that of unity. We do not believe that any same member of our race will dispute this. We are quite sure that this is a generally recognized fact. Not only is it a recognized fact, but we are of the opinion that most of our people are destined of having racial unity an accomplished fact. The problem is how to accomplish it.—Omaha Monitor. Why, accomplish it.—Marcus Garvey accomplished the organization of the Universal Negro Improvement Association.—Editor. The Negro World.

Let us hope that the courts of every State of the Union will release to grant citizenship to this horde of worthless would-be citizens. We cannot afford to admit them to our body politic, and if we pursue the right course the returning immigration ships will be loaded to the guppies with this worthless breed of human cattle that we can ill afford to mingle with the better blood of America. To admit them to citizenship would be an outrage and an insult to the ex-service men and the mothers who bore them—Tampa (Fla.) Bulletin. Solidarity, however, does not mean domination. The Negro dominates nothing in Louisville, and least of all politics. It is of course unfortunate that any large number of Negroes allow themselves to be voted by leaders of any certain party that they and their party might be entrenched in office, and the black or white voter who allows himself to vote more than one time by unscrupulous politicians should be pushed to the fullest extent of the law. But if the solidarity of the Negro vote here is regarded as domination, the Negry is certainly not dominating. The For the 28th of December, Tuesday next week, the prospect of the poor will have striven to provide themselves with something which, for the other 344 days of the year, they are forced to deny themselves. On Christmas Day those possessed of a competence the year through will make inroads on their savings. The rich will have wine vintaged one hundred years or more age served at the family dinner. So will Christ's natal day be celebrated. Some will experience an unusual thrill. Some will intensify the thrills of yesterday. Some will lament the fact when the day is done that the some of activity for the auspicious occasion was productive of no new thrill. Mankind the world over, between cups, will be offering thanks to God. There will be general rejoicing that the Son of Man came upon the earth nineteen hundred, and twenty-three years ago. And the most servant prayers to heaven will issue from the poorest in the land. They, the needy millions, will feel acutely happy that on this Day of Days they are able to revel in a sumptuous sufficiency, and the philosophic among them will wax eloquent and ecstatic and account it a virtue that their thrills, unlike those of the rich, are an event—that in them resides the exaltation, though fleeting, born of a new and unusual experience. A Message Concerning But let us not forget in our sophistication in our contentment, that God did not send His Son upon the earth to make mankind happy and rejoice and give God the praise one out of 365 days. All the teaching and preaching to the contrary notwithstanding, God intends that all men, white and black and red and brown, shall enjoy the blessings of the earth, every waking, minute of every hour of every day of the year. You may thank God with the sincerity of a saint that He has enabled you to do on His Son's birthday what you had hardly hoped—spend "a happy Christmas," but God writhes in agony that you still flirt with the fool opinion that you are a fit celebrant of His Son's najal day, because chicken and good wine are on the sideboard. Not for This. In reality God is innerved at your complacency; He is amazed at your credulity; He is shocked at your contentment. He sees you—and by "you" I mean the Negro especially, the oppressed anywhere, everywhere—fooled, himbolded, hoodwinked, content to how the wood 364 days of the year, satisfied to go uphill, pall in hand, day in day out, if only on the anniversary of the day when the Star of Hope appeared you but live. Not for this. He would have you know, Christ came upon the earth. Not for this He sent His only begotten Son, Christ did not teach humility. He came got to "bring peace, but a sword." He came to point you the way to heaven, the way to a peaceful, honorable, comfortable existence here on God's earth. And because we fail to attain to this we think ourselves slated for heaven! What a shame! The Kingdom of God "Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? Or with what comparison shall we compare it?" "It it like a grain of mustard seed, which when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth. "But when it is sown it grow up and become greater than all herbs, and shoot out great branches, so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it." Negroes, let us not he deceived any longer. Try and let us attain to the Kingdom of God. Let us cast off the hews of humility and clothe ourselves in the armor of ambition. That is my Christmas message to you. The seed has been sown. It may at this time be less than all the seeds that he in the earth. But let us have faith and courage. The Universal Negro Improvement Association will grow, must grow, into a great tree. And when it shall have shot forth sheltering branches, then and not until then, must we feel the glow of contentment and lightnessness. Then will God look down from His heaven and smile. Then will He relieve that out of Egypt He called His son. The road is rocky, but it will not be rocky long. Nunze that slogan as you reflect on the Christ who came to redeem all races from misery and shame and sin. And as on Christmas morn you open your lips in prayer to God, beg Him to lift the scales from your eyes, to give you understanding and赡age, that you, four hundred millions of you, may stand up in your strength and regain the things that He gave you in the beginning. Ask Him for prescience, for will power, even a little ego, so that He, when you shall have shuffled off this mortal coil, may find it in His heart to say, "Well done, good and faithful, servant."

Our trouble has been in misdirected leadership, but we are drawing away from this as time goes on and may some day be able to draw the equation so as our religious tendencies and our business activities will strike a true level.—Omaha New Era. There is one thing remarkably true, and that is the two great contending political parties of the country in the coming Presidential contest will assume a far different attitude toward the Negro. Since the advent of the WHAT IS GOVERNMENT? The Supreme Court has upheld as constitutional the California Oregon anti-alien land acts. It sweeps away at once the legal rights of the Japanese to own the land upon which they conduct: great fruit farms and carry on a wholesale business. It is estimated that fifty thousand of the one hundred and twenty-five thousand Japanese plan to move farther east or back to the homeland. But what of the forty thousand native Americans born of Japanese parentage? These parents sensing what was coming had already made over their lands to their youngsters. The so-called yellow peril is not yet, nor can it be swept away so long as these descendants multiply their property and their numbers. Allen competition is the seat of the western coast race prejudice. It differs from the Negro question in the East. The Negro is not a competitor, due to his incapacity and indifference in business and commerce. But the has been a legal slave. It is the purpose of the East to keep him a slave politically, and it is known that if this is so the commercial slavery will take care of itself. The South claims that it is the social question and hence keeps up social prescriptive orders. But the secret is that everywhere the white man shrewdly watches all the agents and means of power. It is the rule of the land that he is out gunning to hold secure. Of course he will hold it perfectly as long as his Negro fellow citizen is content to remain ignorant and poor. When the black man becomes intelligent and rich the race will invariably come in for his share in all those prerogatives and rights which are now denied him. But never in this land, dominated by white numbers, and wealth, will the black race as such have equal control, though he be a full fledged American citizen. But the California question greets in interest. Mr. Coolidge calls Japan "our friendly neighbor" in his Thanksgiving proclamation. How long will he be able to use that peaceful phrase with effect, if we continue nationally to condone the legal lynching, of the rights of all Asiatics on our western coast? If will take more than a few millions of gold units in time of calamity to keep the peace with our powerful eastern neighbors. The-Nero has no government of his own. The Japanese have.—Star of Zion. Note—The editor of the Star of Zion is a citizen of the United States and of the State in which he resides. He has as many "privileges and immurities" as Josephus Daniels or any other citizen has. Does the editor of the Star of Zion mean to be understood as saying that he has no government of his own? Can he say so any more truthfully than Josephus Daniels can?

An African Estimate (From the Gold Coast Times, Oct. 27. When we turn to America, we have the outstanding figure of Marcus Garvey. Garvey is still confined in a pentimentary, but he is still unimportant. We may not agree with all that Garvey says or does and we may even detect much that is comical in his salaries, but we cannot get over the fact that he is a man with a dynamic influence. And he is not an ordinary man who can attract millions of colored people around his standard—many of them very highly educated and cultured people. We on the West Coast have read a lot of nasty things written about Marcus Garvey, but all these reports come from European sources, and we must not be so short-memoried, as to forget that equally nasty things have been said of us lately in England by white men, foremost among them being colonial governors. And so it would be unpardonable folly on our part to swallow all the evil things said of a fellow black man in another part of the world. Garvey is confined, but he is very much alive, and apart from the restriction placed on his mobility he is otherwise free. From his exclusion he has been rallying his followers, and his paper, The Negro World, is still running with his weekly messages. We were delighted to read in a recent number of Current History, a popular American magazine containing contributions by such distinguished Americans as Admiral W. S. Simms and others, a contribution by Marcus Garvey, under the caption "The Negro's Greatest Enemy" which makes an interesting study. We in West Africa must not be misled into judging this African harshly, for if he has done nothing at all he has at least succeeded in arousing American Negroes to a state of consciousness which they had never attained previously. Harding administration a great deal has been done by the politicians to change the political status of the Negro, and it has become abundant fruit. While the Republican leaders have shown an inclination to unload the Negro, the Democratic leaders have been busy trying to find the means of attracting him and getting him to understand that, at least in the sections where his vote counts, there is a comfortable seat on the band wagon for him—Newport News Star. Now, we are not opposed to large salaries. We believe in them. We believe the prepared man—prepared in heart as well as mind—will succeed both spiritually and financially. But he ought to have the ambition to build HOW CAME THE NEGRO PEOPLE INTO HARLEM? The Negro people are very religious. A larger number them belong to the church, perhaps, or attend the church services and contribute, according to their means, to the support of the church and its work, that any like number of the other race groups of the citizenship. All the church services in Harlem, for instance, are crowded with devout worshippers. Those who arrive late have to stand up or be barred out entirely. I have attended several such services lately and on two of three occasions I had to leave because there was only standing room. Of course, Harlem has its Red Lights. The number of the race who go the pace that kills, is very large, but they are far from being in the majority. They are hardly a respectable minority. They are loud and fussy and obtrusive in public places and, being most in evidence, create the impression upon the superficial observer, that "they are the people." But they are not. It is even so with us in most of the communities of the country. The good are more numerous than the bad. And a group should be judged by its good members and not by its bad ones. We are not so judged. Why? Now, then: How came the Negro people into Harlem? When I came to New York from Florida, in 1879, most of the Negro people lived in the downtown districts. They were not numerous, but they had many fine churches. Harlem was far away and could only be reached by horse cars. It took the better part of a day to go from the Battery to the Harlem river and return. There were very few, if any, Negroes living in Harlem, except those in domestic employments. The splendid palaces of Harlem were built for white people by white people; they were not built for Negroes by Negroes. White people did not desire that Negroes should occupy them; they do not so desire it now. But the Negroes, without money and receiving the minimum wage in the least inviting employments, just came in and steadily took possession of the palaces, and detached houses, and tenements, so that now they are the most numerous of the dwellers in Harlem from Central Park to the Harlem river, and the time will come when they will own the most of it in free simple. The district has been set apart for them. By whom? Let us go to the Scriptures for explanation: "Now the Lord had said unto Abram, get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will show thee; and I will make thee a great Nation and I will bless thee and make thy name great, and thou shalt be a blessing; and I will bless them that, bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee, and in thee shall all the families of the earth be blessed. And they went forth into the Land of Canaan, and into the Land of Canaan they came." (Gēn. xii., 1-5.) Now, the Negro people came into Harlem and took possession of it, for a possession, in much the same way that Abram went into the Land of Canaan and took possession of it for a possession. The Lord had said to them, "Get thee out of the slums of the downtown districts, and get thee out of other places where ye are oppressed and wronged, into a place that I will shew you." The voice was the Still Small Voice that speaks to the subconsciousness in each one and in race groups and in Nations, so that they are moved with the same impulse and do what they are advised through their subconsciousness. And that is how cante the Negro people into Harlem. The Lord had said to them. The faithful will see it that way, while unbelievers—who hath blinded their eyes? something, not merely to get something somebody else has built. We should send our men forward from our seminaries with a zeal to create, to construct, not merely to get salaries. Our half educated fathers brought this church to a membership of a half million—they created, they constructed. We are unworthy of being called their sons, if we merely want—the things they made big—let us make something big ourselves—Christian Recorder. Buying one thing and doing another seems to be a common habit with some people.-Richmond Planet.

Sir Robert L. Poston, secretary-general of the U. N. L. A., chairman, Lady Henrietta Vinton Davis, fourth assistant president-general of the U. N. I. A., and Attorney Milton Van Lowe of Detroit, Michigan, secretary, comprised the delegation. On Monday night, December 10, thousands of U. N. L. A. members and their friends attended a inass meeting at Liberty Hall, New York, to bid farewell to the delegates. Hon. Marcus Garvey, president-general, occupied the chair. The meeting was a most enthusiastic one, the large audience entering wholeheartedly into the spirit of the auspicious event, which must write a new page in the annals of Negro endeavor. A splendid concert program having been performed, the Hon. Marcus Garvey introduced the delegates to the gathering, his announcement that the delegates would sail next day for Europe and the motherland being greeted with unparious applause.

EMONEI, CARTER (Concluded from last issue) Text: John III:7 Subject: "Conversation With Nicodemus." IV. By regeneration the affections are changed, and made to flow in a different and opposite channel. An unconverted man has no pleasure in God and spiritual things and holy occupations. He that is born again, on the contrary, delights in God, in doing His will, in studying His word, in holding communion with Him in His day, in his ordinances, in his law and in His people. His sorrows are equally different from what they were before his regeneration. Formerly it pained him more to lose earthly enjoyments, to be injured, to be diagran, to suffer in his estate or body, than to be under the wrath of God. He felt not the weight of unpardoned sin; he was tranquil and calm, though he was stranger to the following influences of the spirit, and was in hourly danger of damnation. Oh, how different are his feelings now! One doubt of the love of God is now more precious to him than the savest earthly sufferings. The remains of hidwelling corruption are more painful to him than the mountains of un-merited sin were before. As the regenerates have these new joys and sorrows, so they have new hopes. An unconverted man has a hope that is contrary to scripture, and that will disappoint his soul. Though he continues at a distance from flood, though he walks in those paths which the Lord of Heaven has declared conducts to destruction, yet he still expects to be saved. But when born of the spirit he sees that all these hopes, on which he had rested his soul were vain; and instead of them he receives one that is scriptural, rational, quickening and comforting; not merely a cold, dead hope of escaping misery, but a living hope of seeing the face of god forever; a hope that maketh not ashamed, that purifeth, that is an anchor to the soul, and that is totally different from the unfounded expectations that he entertained before. If in like manner you attend to all the other affections of the natural man, you will find that the current of all of them is changed by regenerating grace. V. Regeneration produces an equal change in the life. "By their fruits we shall know them," is the test of piety given by the Saviour. It is a test, the truth of which is exemplified by the regeneration. Though the remains of corruption within them still causes them to mourn, and sometimes draws them aside from God and prevents them from attaining that perfection in indifference of which they aim, and which they desire, yet no no longer reigns over them; they renounce those industrial transgressions in which they indulged; the main bent of their heart and life is against them, and their chief desire and endeavor is to destroy it; and their delight is in the work and worship of God; they endure to perform the whole will of God; to perform all the social and benevolent duties, as well as to acquire those affairs more particularly devotional. The great business of their lives is to clarify God, to extend the Church of Jesus, to adorn the profession of the gospel, to benefit their fellowmen and to rave themselves. Thus, my hearers, I have, in a very brief and cursory manner, shown you the nature of regeneration. I have endeavored to speak so plainly that every one of you may know what is his state and character. May God sanctify unto us His preached word, give us regenerating grace and enable us to know from experience what it is to be "born again."

WHY JIM CROW IS FLYING NORTH By W. O. SAUDERS From Collars, the National Weekly A Southern white man, reared with a Southerner's aversion to the black man, tells here how he was awakened to the new problems that the new type of Negro has created. It is no longer, he says, a local problem to be left to the South to solve in its own way. The great Northward movement of colored labor, settling in the cities of the North, has made it a truly national problem—and one that all of us must understand and deal with. Mr. Saunders has traveled for Collier's through much of the South, and he tells in this series of articles what the new Negro is, what he asks for, and what he gets—and leaves it to you to do your own thinking about it. (Concluded from last week) Millions of Negroes have left the South within the past ten years to seek economic freedom. In the great industrial-centers of the North and West, Millions more are leaving and will leave. They were pouring out of Jacksonville, Savannah, Atlanta, Montgomery, Mobile, New Orleans, Vicksburg, Birmingham, and Memphis by the trainload this summer. Plantations of a thousand acres have been abandoned in a night. Negro labor plowed the fields of Southern planters last fall and put in the crop this spring. The cotton and the seldom corn was pushing for intensive cultivation. And from millions of acres Negroes went away in groups, leaving no one to hoe and grab and bring the crops to fruition. Plantation owners have appealed to the law to keep the Negroes on the farms, where they are solely needed. Labor agents have been thrown into jail. Negroes have been arrested on trumped-up charges or held for debts. But the exodus has not abated. One finds in some rural towns whole blocks of Negro cabins deserted. In many cases the migrants leave everything behind them to direct suspicion. Many of them possess little more than the wretched clothes on their backs; they have no ties of property to bind them. Others who have by thrift cultivated a small garden, keep a pig and a little poultry, leave the pig in the pen and the chickens roosting in a tree while they steal away in the night to catch a train that will take them to East St. Louis or Chicago. A labor agent furnishes them with trans-portation. Often the whole family goes. More often only the men go at first, but after a few weeks they send transportation back home to the women and children, who, in turn, go to the Northland, where wages are high and "where a bigger hog has some rights." Riding through the Yazoo and Mississippi Valley, a Negro Publicity poster pointed out to a negro a lot of Negro women and children bearing the young cotton on a plantation of several thousand acres, "see those women and children," said the poster; "we carried their merfolk out to be here three weeks ago; another week, or a fortune, we will be hauling the women and children too, and there will be no place, left on that place." The exodus quickly immortalize the financial loss and in many cases, after run for the owners of millions of acres of farm lands in South Carolina. There never is enough to pay the South's cotton farmers when conditions are good. But it would the hard work that sent the Negro a hard life. The holl weed was only one of many reasons. The four impurities (1) Discover by North under its instincts that the Negro is dependent and enduring hardship. (2) The death of foreign labor, due to our new immigration restriction, compels the Northern employer to seek a new labor supply. (3) The inability of the South under its present antiquated, wasteful, and inefficient method of agriculture, to pay the Negro a living wage (4) The Negro demands more than anything else to find educational opportunities for his children. The Negro is flocking North to high wages, entering industries that pay him $5 to $10 a day for his work and pay him by cash. To get North and get these wages, and educate his children, he is forsaking a land that too often gives him only a painful debt of cornmeal and sojourn, declares him a debtor still to the lawful after his work of a year is done, and as a rule, provides only a three months' school term for his children. We South should have tried to feel ourselves into a belief that the Negro was forsaking the South to flee into a field of industry in which he could not compete. This is not true. The Negro is proving himself a more serious --- THE Staff of The Negro World wishes to extend to its agents, subscribers and many friends their heartiest greetings for a Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year. factory-day laborer than the lower-class immigrants who have manned many of the more important industries. He is hard, enduring, and docile—and he can understand orders given in English. If the Negro had not proved his worth as a day laborer, the North would not be sending for him and paying his transportation. Again, we have been fooling ourselves with a lot of talk about the hard conditions confronting the Negro in the North. Our newspapers are full of it. It is mostly twaddle. I have seen Negroes swarming in the most wretched tenements in congested districts of Northern cities. A white man would shudder to set foot in many of the places in which Negroes live in Northern cities. But they are not worse than the cabins in which so many of these Negroes lived in the South. The White Man's Word Have you ever seen a typical Negro cabin on a plantation in the Mississippi Valley? It is usually only a diminutive board structure of two rooms in which a family of five, six, eight, or more eat and sleep. The common type of these cabins is called a "shotgun house," because of its single-barrel construction. During the hot summer months sleep in one of the cabins is next to impossible. When it rains, the water often pours through the roof. I have never seen one of these cabins screened, and only on small farms have I seen them with windows other than a near-tight wooden shutter. Compared to these, the squallid brick tenements of the North are very manSIONs in the skies. The roofs of the city tenements do not leak; snakes and lizards and insects do not crawl up through the crevices in the floors. It is not unusual for an illiterate black man and his family to work for a landowner for a year, growing nothings but cotton. The landlord will permit him to grow no corn because he could steal the corn or appropriate a bit of it for his food. He can have no pig and no poultry because pigs and poultry must have grain or the scraps from a kitchen. There are no scraps from the poor Negro's kitchen. In a year the Negro senator may produce ten, twenty, thirty, or more bale of cotton. He and his wife and children pick out this cotton in the fall and carry it to the gin, whence it is pressed into bales. The Negro turns the bale product of his labor over to the landlord and awaits a settlement. Sometimes the landlord says at the end of the year: "Welf, John, you did pretty good this year; you passed a good crop and you own me only forty dollars." For a year that Negro and his whole family have toped and sweated. During this time they have lived on limited rations bought at the commission owned by the plantation owner. The rations consist of cloves, wholly of soongum and corn meal. And at the end of the year the Negro told he was in debt. He cannot challenge the white man's good. He has kept no accounts of his own because he does not know how. He does not appear to the law because the law is the white man's law. He suffers in silence and when opportunity comes he steals away In the North he holds a post that provides a year round school form for the children of community centers for him and his wife a new dispensary to take him drugs when he is sick and pardoners a junior health nurse and hospital care nurse he needs them and a doctor helpful agent to which he can turn to emergencies. I have before me a bill of complaint down up to Negro in a joint meeting in Jackson, Md., on May 1, 1923, giving the reasons why they are laying the South. It starts with the statement that "the Negro feels that life is not safe in Mississippi, and his life may be taken with impunity at any time by a white man." The Negro has generally despaired of obtaining his rights as a citizen in this section. The document goes on to particularize, laying emphasis upon the fact of his lack of educational and uplift opportunities. He complains of the fact that for every $20 spent for the education of white children in the State, only $1 is spent for the education of the Negroes; of the Semi-consolidated schools in Mississippi, all are for whites; of fifty and old agricultural schools for whites, there is not one for Negroes; and there is not a dollar for the tubercular, for the feeble-minded, for the blind, or for the derelict Negro youth, though millions are spent on whites. The complaints made by the Negroes of Mississippi are typical of the complaints made by Negroes in other Southern States. They are all too true. And you oneeldom hear mention of the Ku Klux Klan by the Negro. The Kluckers are the least of his troubles. The fact of organized mobs arrayed in nightshirts and pillowcases makes little difference to him. He was lynched before the nightshirt and the pillowcase were thought of. Only the better class of Negroes are particularly alarmed over the Ku Klux. The better class of Negroes see in the organization a sinister agency further to entangle the whites and the blaces in the South and prevent racial adjustments. I may come to that later. I have indicated the immediate effect of this wholesale exodus of Southern Negroes upon the agriculture of the South. What, then, of its effect upon the North? What of its effect upon the moral, social, and economic progress of the Negro in America? These are questions which America must face squarely and at once if the peace of the nation and the power-ability of the All-Americans is to be preserved. The North is temporarily poised by the shift of Native labor. But the North is finding itself with a race problem on its hands that, in as alarming as the race problem south of the Potomac. A Game With Rules. Reversed. The Negroes attracted to the North in this and recent years are largely from the lowest classes. They are illiterate, happy-go-lucky, highly emotional, highly greasy, and grossly ignorant. They have been fed up on wild tales of equality, and they enter the cities of the North wild to experiment hitherto unknown freedom and social privileges. The unschooled Negro fresh from the South in his new surroundings is exploited by machine politician, who make him extravagant promises which they never intend to fulfill. In the South a white man may hate the Negro as a class, but he will put himself out to befriend an individual Negro. In the North white men profess a great interest in the uplift of the Negro as a class, but ignore the individual. In the North his children may sit side by side with white children in public schools, but he and his wife are shoved aside as rudely in white hotels, theaters, and restaurants as in the South. He finds his life in the North more confusing than in the South. He has been led to believe that the attitude of the North is more broad and tolerant toward the Negro than is the attitude of the South. He finds that this is far from being true and the North hasn't had enough experience with the Negro to know exactly how to receive him and place him. Left to himself, he will work out a place for himself; fanatical leaders often misdirect his energies and inflame his imagination. The race problem is no longer a local problem left to the South to solve in its own way; it is a problem for the metropolitan centers of the North, and if I mistake not the signs and temper of the time, the North will shed blood over the problem if it does not interest itself irrigatedly.

Echold the hato of the Re- oemer outlined against the ethereal blue of heaven's limitless expanse! Re- oice! Rejoice! Rejoice! This is a seas- on of the year when all mankind within the pale of Christian civiliza- tion should feel joyful over the anni- versury of the Birth or the King of Kings. Let us skip to Bethlehem one thou- sand nine hundred and twenty-three years ago. "What is it?" We hear the Shepherds saying one to the other, and, as we look, we see them placing their hands to their cars to better attune that delicate organ to the glad sound of the music from the Celestial choirs that announced to mankind the birth of the new-born Son of God and that they might be listened to to better advantage, for such music had never before been heard by human cars as that which announced the coming of the Saviour of the world; therefore, the shepherd sons of Israel had reason to be bewildered. "Hark! Hark!" They say "tis the voice of Angel Hosts. What can it mean?" And while they stood against in wonder the Angels proclaimed to them by chanting the glare news, "Behold in David's city is born of David's line a Saviour, who is Christ, the Lord, and this shall be the sign." Methinks, I am them pointing to the bright star that heaved over the hanger. Let us consider there to whom was just manifested the coming of man's redeemer. Not to King Herod upon his theme, surrounded by royal splendor, not to the princes of the earth whose glories materially rebounded from the then known end of one part of the world to the other, not to the Roman patroness, not to the High Priests of Israel but to the Lord shepherds on the mountain slope and in the valleys, the humbest of that civilization! Behold the star which leads to Bettlehem's manger! They have scattered themselves and in various parts of the city are spreading the glad news, the first rumours of the greatest message ever sent to man, and which has come all down the ages, even to the present time, and which today we celebrate, and this news is what they had heard and what they had seen. Bettlehem is astir, even to the gates of the king's palace: Herod is on the alert, anxiously awaiting the betrayal of the Babe by the Wise Men, whom he had warned, telling them to be sure and acquaint him of where the young child lay. But not so! Herod was a king but the King of Kings was born that day and we wise man would ever touch him in ever betray him. Mehmet the man who represented the team with his fellow colleagues in the management and Casper, had been involved in the things that they were working on the team and did not have the leadership they needed to be the manager.

On this wise they performed their obeisance by laying at His feet their wife of gold, frankincense and myrrh. In doing this they fulfilled their mission and departed from Bethlehem, leaving Herod angered. This brings to our minds the phase of the Master's life when He was sheltered by the sun-burned sons of the land of Egypt, when Joseph was warned in a dream to flee; a phase; that should make us realize that as a people we have done much to be proud of and be thankful for. The birthday of a king in those days, as today, the coming into the world of a king is the cause for much rejoicing by his people, for are they not proclaimed from the housesets with the fluttering of flags and unfurling of bunting, with blast of trumpets and glare of torch, with shouts of the people and the rattle of musketry and the booming of cannon? But not so with Christ! He was heralded by heaven's choicest christians, for man would not have looked for any King in a manger. Not only in its outward form but in the circumstances surrounding it, there could hardly have been a more lowly entrance made into the world than that made by the Christ of God. We should rejoice and be glad, for we again celebrate the birthday of Him Whose only mission was to seek and to save that which was lost. We as Christian men and women should realize that in all walks of life, if we fall to serve Him Who came to this end, we are bound to go through this plane of materialism without hope of the future in the great beyond. Christmas means much to Christian people, but so few realize it, and this is a statement that is hard to refuse for even some of the great teachers and preachers have been weighed in the balance and found wanting, some of whom are even guilty of the great crime of being commercial vendors of the doctrines of the Messiah. Yet above all the din and turmoil, we hear the still small voice of Christian reason whispering in the ear of men whose minds are at high tension and whose hearts are willing, open, and teachable, thus making us feel that the spirit of Jehovah and the presence of the Holy Ghost are still here and at all times willing and ready to help suffering humanity. This day, therefore, should be a solemn feast day, but men have sometimes desecrated it with licentious merriment instead. Let us cease to follow this example. As men and women of the Negro race, let us realize that the world at large has its gaze fixed, unyield, especially at this time, let us also remember of the fact, that the intellectual teleos of the masterminds of the world are watching every effort put forth by us as a people. Thus, Christmas to us means much and above all, this Christmas should long be remembered in our history as member of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, for the first delegation sent out by the Universal Negro Improvement Association will spend this Christmas in fortniture. While some of us may cry, let us not forget to raise our voices in common simplification and common sense of those who have gone forth like Neal's have from the oak of the Deity, looking for a way to assist them with the work they are doing, like the wise men, the Magi, looking for the way of Heaven to make their mission in people. Christmas means much to us as a people. Let us therefore not and never be complacent in our good will to all mankind. A book with an interesting story We want to tell it.

President Cohen to be Commodore of Customs of the New Orleans district despite a protest made to him a few hours previous by the two Louisiana Senators. We regret to learn why these Senators should oppose the nomination, as the Republicans never oppose the naming of a colored Democrat. Of course, the Democrats, since President Cleveland's time, have never nominated a Colored Democrat, and we do not know what they would do, but our opinion is they would not oppose the nominee on the grounds of color—Buffalo American. President Obregon of Mexico serves an ultimatum to all opposed to his reign, as being against Mexico, and states all must be annihilated. This means a continued loss of life in Mexico, industries paralyzed, investment in the country destroyed and innocent people to suffer.-Buffalo American. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1923 CHRISTMAS MESSAGE OF MRS. MARCUS GARVEY "Let Us Forget Our Personal, National and Racial Differences, and Enter Into the Spirit of the Season With Love in Our Hearts" Nine o'clock hundred-odd years ago the Son of God took on our humanity and came to earth to redeem fallen mankind. The Christian world commemorates His birth on Christmas Day. Methinks it is only the second coming of the Prince of Peace that could straightaway right the wrongs of this old world and reconvert mankind. THE WORLD'S FIRST WOMAN During Christ's sojourn on earth he suffered as man; He was crucified and died as a remission for our sine. At His death he had but eleven disciples; to- day hundreds of millions profess the doctrine of Christ (called Christianity). But, oh! how few Christians practice the spirit of Christ. How few exercise the spirit of brotherly love toward their fellow man. The spirit of true love and fellowship is sadly lacking in this selfish, material world, where Christian man murders his brother man, where Christian nations make war on worker nations and Christian lives rob and suppress others—in the name of Christ! Avarice and greed seemite have distorted the beauty of Christianity, and man goes not through the spectacles of purity and righteousness, but through the spectacles of selfish miserlism THE PEOPLE'S FORUM To the Lord of the Nero World: After the Hapse of nineteen hundred years, we human beings still need new proclamations of the ancient gospel of "peace and good will to man." Race hatred is inconsistent with rejection. Not very few churches in Christian America come to recognize color lynching. Jim Crow or disfranchisement. The color line and Christianity act as if they were twin brothers of the same household of faith. And thus the meek and lowly Nazirene, whose birth we celebrated at this Christmas season, is eternally crucified anew in the home of his friends. Yet the cause of man eternally goes forward, and in spite of obstacles and hindrances, the twin doctrines of the Brotherhood of Man and the Fatherhood of God continues to gain ground in the world. Even our wars and hatreds, slavery, competition and imperialism are teaching us that the highest and most powerful groups are so bound to the lowly and the weak that, whether they wish it or not, whatever injuries one equally injures the other. Out of this welter of struggle we are emerging with an ideal of the equality of human rights and opportunities. In the western world we call this ideal democracy. But the strong are disposed to deny it to the weak; without vision enough to see that the oppression of the weak by the strong simply forcels down the death of their strength. And so the upsurge of democracy in our day is expressing itself in that "conflict, of color," about which we hear so much—from one side. Democracy, denied, in practice by those who preach it hardest, has to be struggled for by the smaller groups who make up the majority of the world's peoples. Of these smaller groups we of the Virgin Islands are one of the smallest. Nevertheless, we have done our duty in the struggle for democracy. We have turned the searchlight of publicity on the dark corners of autocracy and have sent forth the tocsin whose sound We of the Negro race suffer most from the selfishness of this material world. We have not the power, the might, that makes right; but our star of destiny is gradually rising, and when it shall have THE NEW YORKER attained its full brilliancy and black men their rightful place among the nations of the earth, may we not pray that God will use the race as his instruments to teach others their duty to their fellow man—then will the era of the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man be established, and peace forever mark the path of man. At this Christmas time, when we commemorate the birth of our Red-hoomer, let us forget our personal, national and racial differences, and enter into the spirit of the season with love in our hearts, praising and clerifying our Father in heaven and coming to men "peace perfect peace." AMY JACQUES-GARVEY For our loyal soldiers of the common good this is a time for mutual greetings and congratulations. To them "a merry Christmas" means something more than empty weeks, and "a happy New Year" more than a windy hope. On both sides of the sea we have borne and strugged, suffered and endured. Our heroic women on this side have handed together, locked by the energies of the Virgin Islands Congressional Council, and have made beautiful clothing to maze and guard the hearts of the children in the Virgin Islands at Christmas time. This collective Christmas present has already been sent off. These things are but expressions of that eternal spirit of good will between man and man which is always waiting for a chance to express our good as well as evil impulse, and the noblest of them, the most help, charity, good will, are those which are richly from the heart of a common humanity at Christmas time. In that spirit do we send out our Christmas greetings to the world at large and our darker beethoven in the western world in particular. CASPER HOLSTEIN, President, Virgin Islands Congressional Council, December 16, 1923. Haiti's Troubles: A Contradiction Editor of The Negro World: Sir: I am writing to announce to you that, contrary to what was published in the New York World in its issue of December 8, and some other papers, Messra, Johnbills Fills and Elio Guerrier were really poisoned in the jail where they were thrown six weeks ago. Their lives have been saved only by the quick administering of an antidote by their private physicians who were called in by their family on learning of their illness. Since the first visit the physicians were not allowed to visit the prisoner thereafter, and they are still unwell from the effects of the poison which was given them in their food. Sincerely yours, JOSSEPH MIRAULT. Correspondent for the Courrier Haitien. Organ of National Defense. New York, December 14, 1823. CHRISTMAS MESSAGE By THOS. W. ANDERSON Fellow man of the Black Race. Greetings:— The year 1923 has been one of tests for the Universal Negro Improvement Association. We have been assaulted from without and from within. Our foes have reviled us. Our friends, some of them, have betrayed us. Our most grievous wounds were received in the house of our friends. The organization has been through fire during the year 1923. The test had to be. We are thankful that it is over. We are exultant that we were not found wanting. The noise of many troubled waters was great, yet, they came not nigh unto our feet. The sun shone upon us by day. The moon refused not her, light by night. We were encompassed with obstacles on all sides. The winds blew and the floods came, but we, we were not moved. We took sweet counsel with the God of the ages; mercy and truth met together. He that pullell down one and setteth up another smiled upon us, and our foes "folded their tents like the Arabs and as silently stole away." The year 1924 is going to be a wonder year for the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Let every division and chapter pledge its concrete support to the organization by both word and deed. The Department of Labor and Industry pledges itself to keep faith with our many divisions and far-flung chapters and branches. Yet, little can we do, without their unstinted co-operation. Do your full share, and there will be no excuse for our failing in ours. The Most Merriful and Compassionate One, the Great God of the Ages, is smiling upon us. Our tomorrow is clearer than the noonday. Then, forward march! Is not the gleaning of the grapes of Ephraim better than the vintage of Ablezer? We sincerely wish you a merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year. CHRISTMAS CHIMES B. R. Y. HOBITT, D. Q Five is the 'Five years' poem term. To daunt our leader, but he does.

December Issue of The "Southern Workman" The current issue of the "Southern Workman" (published by the Hampton Institute Press) contains a valuable 13-page illustrated article by Dr. Sara W. Brown on "Colored Women Physicians" describing the work and progress in the last fifty years of Negro women doctors. The first installment of "Hampton Institute 1868-1923: Shaping Courses to Meet Changing Conditions" by George P. Phenix, vice-principal of Hampton, is given in this number. In "Tuskegee Trade Graduates," J. L. Whiting in charge of teacher training of trades and industries at Tuskegee Institute, gives a survey of the activities of its trade graduates for the period 1908-1917. "A Successful Negro Building and Loan Association" is the People's Building and Loan Association of Hampton, Va. An illustrated article on "Colored Normal Schools in North Corollina," and an editorial on the recent conference in North Carolina of the Jeanes teachers and principals of county training schools show present conditions and progress in Negro education in that State.

He being Man even as you and I, demonstrated to the world the perfection man could attain. He is the world's greatest teacher, the world's greatest reformer. He gave to the world its biggest idea. This day is kept in honor of Him; who gave mankind light, Jesus, God's greatest gift to mankind. The festivities we indulge in on Christmas are traceable to the ancient rights which were celebrated in Scandinavia, Rome, Greece and Egypt. The pagan people had an idea that the shortening of the days signified the dying of the sun; therefore, when the days began to lengthen they engaged in much rejoicing. As a reconciliation to those who broke with the old faith, the early Christian Church adopted the harmless features of these "heathen's sun festival." In the beginning the church was unable to keep these celebrations from resulting in orgies which could not be tolerated. These Christmas revelries continued in England some years after the coming of the Puritans to America. For twelve years Christmas was abolished in England, and in America for about the same period of time. After this time, it was re-established because the people demanded it. DECEMBER 25 celebrated His birthday to us from the decision of Pope Julius. After Church the celebration of birthdays dies out but it heathenish. Pope Julius, sometime between upon St. Cyril to ascertain the correct date.ern churches observed December 25, while ot st. Cyril's report Pope Julius set December 25. It was the custom amne CHRISTMAS each other after their w GIFTS who was once a slave's practice of his masters. mas giving may go even farther back.

The Christmas Tree, a CHRISTMAS was born to us about the tree to St. Winfried, who was mans at this time. As the to show the people that the Dual Priest had only and not of a living God; and on Christmas around a great oak tree to offer a human sneeze to tell a young or tree seemed to appear miraculously to the people.

CHRISTMAS GIFTS to show the people that the Druid Priest had made them worshippers of trees only and not of a living God; and on Christmas Eve, when they had gathered around a great oak tree to offer a human sacrifice he cut down the tree. As it fell a young fir tree seemed to appear miraculously beyond it, and Wintroed said to the people, "Here is the living tree, with no sign of blood upon it, that shall be the sign of your new worship. See how it points to the sky. Call it the tree of the Christ-child. Take it up and carry it to the Chieftains bill. You shall go no more into the shadow of the forest to keep your feast with secret right of some. You shall keep them at home with laughter and song and of love." The thunder-oak has fallen and I think the day is coming when there shall be not a home in Germany where the children are not gathered around the green fir tree to rejoice in the birthright of Christ. Burning Christmas candles is another custom derived from the Romans. The Roman Saturnalia not only used candles for illumination during the festival, but exchanged them as gifts to depote cheerfulness and good will. Or it may be derived from the feast of the dedication held by the Jews about the same time of the year as the Saturnalia and the Yule. Most likely thousands of candles were burning throughout Palestine, as the burning of candle was one of the incidents of the feast. This supposition is born out when we remember that the Greek Church calls Christmas the "Feast of Lights." CHRISTMAS CARDS CHRISTMAS STOCKINGS AND SANTA CLAUS OR ST.

Instead it dropped in the midnight smoking, which the daughter had hung to dry. When it was discovered by the midnight he used it as a dowry for his elderly daughter. From that time on, wherever a daughter was to marry, the old man would put his stockings up and St. Nicholas never failed to place a gift thereon. December 6, the date of the bishop's death, is observed in several countries. The closeness of this feast to that of Christmas, has probably compounded the two celebrations. Just how and when the good spirit also came to be called Santa Claus we do not know. TREE DECORATIONS of a great tree was symbol and higher in the heavens.

With all of our boosted pu upon Christmas. We are and higher in the heavens. They had what was known as sun trees. The church, to give a new meaning to the tree, placed a new interpretation upon it and its decorations. The tree with its lights represents Christ, the Light of the World. The tree of life, the beginning of new life. The early Church introduced only Christian symbols, such as the anchor, the cross, the heart, star of the East and golden threads, which represent the hair of the Christ-child. After all there is nothing new about our Christmas. With all of our boasted progress we have improved little upon Christmas. We are still celebrating in the old, old fashion. We may have added a few embellishments or made the approach from a different angle but, after all, it is the same old Christmas. It is this sameness which lends charm. What would Christmas mean should we change its form? How could we have Christmas without the trees, candles, mistletoe, fireplaces, stockings, old Santa and the spirit of giving? We want no improvement. $500 Reward If I Fail to Grow Hair Hair Root Hair Grower Is a scientific vegetable compound of hair root and Alba together with several other, positive herbs, there fore making the most powerful harmless Hair Grower known, actually feeding hair to improve chem nate cases.

All honor goes to St. Winifred, who was a missionary to the Scandinavians at this time. At the legend goes St. Winifred triumphs. Christmas cards are not more than seventy years old and have been in active service for about fifty years. The first Christmas cards, were printed in London in 1554. They were not beautifully embossed cards we see today, cards with the greeting "A Merry Christmas" or "Happy upon them," Christmas cards with decorations, with few decades old. The Bishop of Myra, about the year 300, was very popular because of his good deeds and kindness, especially to children. He seems to be credited with giving us a Santa Claus, or St. Nicholas, as he was sometimes called. An old legend says that St. Nicholas once wanted to be stow a gift secretly upon an old nobleman who, though poor, did not want anyone to know of his poverty. When St. Nicholas reached the house he saw the old nobleman One of the tasks of the early Church was to give a new meaning to heathenish customs. The ancient Teutons, who were sun worshippers, thought that the spreading of a great tree was symbolic of the sun rider, blesser THE NEWS AND VIEWS OF U.N.I.A. DIVISIONS Address by Captain Gaines The Gary Division, Chapter 185, was called together once more by the first vice-president, at the A. M. E. Church Twentieth and Massachusetts street December 6, 1923, to listen to an address by the Hon. Captain E. L. Gaines. The usual ceremonies were performed the hymn, "Nearer My God to Thee," being sung by the audience. Rev. Butler, pastor of the church, was the master of ceremonies. A few remarks were then made by the first vice-president Mr. Jones, after which a selection was rendered by the band. The master of ceremonies then delivered a short address and stated that he was extremely proud of his membership with the organization. The next was Captain Noum, of Chicago Division, No. 23. He spoke oh the subject of "Leadership," and said that every nation was asking for more and better leaders today, especially the Negro race. An address was then given by Mr Whether, president of the St. Louis Division. He chose as his subject, "Who Will Go." In the discussion of this topic he brought out the fact that the Hon. Marcus Garvey had come all the way from across the sea to teach his people the principles of brotherly love. He had grown tired of seeing his race burnt and lynched and was doing all that was within his power to prevent this terrible inhuman treatment of his people. He also reminded us of the fact that if we did not stop fighting among ourselves it would be impossible for our noble leader to put the program ever. Are You Sick?

AT YOUR DRUGGIST OR DIRECT FROM Queens Ma P. O. B. O. GARY. INDIANA Another selection was rendered by the band, and the speaker of the evening was presented to the audience. He made another one of those speeches that brought tears from some of those in the audience. It was, indeed, very pathetic to listen to his telling of his bravery in the battles in which he fought for "Old Glory," and yet his people have not as yet seaped any reward. "I love you," Old Glory, "said "Daddy Gaines," "but I will have to turn my back on you. I fought for you at San Juan Hill. I have been on many a battlefield for you, but me and mine have not received that which is due us; therefore, I must bid you farewell." These are only a few of the remarks that were made by the most eloquent speaker, but time and space will not permit them all to be printed. But the fact must not be omitted that he again reminded us that the Universal means a government that will protect us here in America and Africa as well. He clearly brought out his subject, "The Black Man's Place in the Sun," by proving that every nation has made itself known except us, and that the time had arrived for us to ascend to the highest point of nationhood. All of the members were then sworn in by Captain Gaines, who announced that Mr. Jones, who had been first vice-president, is now the president of the Gary Division. We cannot close just here without mentioning the fact that the band was very glad to have Mr. Baker, one of its most active members and chairman of the trustee board, back with them again. Mr. Baker was called to Cleveland, Ohio, to the bedside of a sick relative, and he was nearly missed by his bandman because of his faithfulness and loyalty. MRS. H. J. RED. Se retary. CAMAGUEY, CUBA Through the united efforts of the officers and members of the Camaguey Division, the public in general are becoming more and more interested in the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. On Sunday evening, December 2, a monster mass meeting was held. The occasion marked a clear road to success. Mr. H. Williams took the chair at 7.30 p. m. and presided over the meeting. Our president, Mr. Aubrey Jones, was not present, on account of a slight illness. The meeting started with the singing of the ode, followed by the recital of our motto, "One God, One Alm, One Destiny," and the usual Sunday evening sermon delivered by the chaplain, Mr. C. D. Austin. At the end of the lecture the chaplain introduced the Hon. H. Williams, first vice-president of the division, who proceeded to deliver the opening address. This address was warm, and received much applause at its close. Misses F. Asher and N. Shand were called-up to render a duet, and responded without hesitation, singing "Under His Wings." Next was an address by the teacher of the U. N. I. A day school, Mr. H. G. Denniston, who spoke on the power of thought. He spoke for fully thirty minutes and delivered a masterly discourse, elfying and bristling of information. Mr. P. Murray, of the Barnes Division, came to the rostrum and delivered a fifteen minutes' address on the growing progress of the organization and ended with an appeal for new members. Three solos were given, the first by Miss Eva Hilton, lady president; second by Mrs. C. E. Barrows, first vice-lady president, and the last by Mrs. E. Bressift, second vice-lady president. Mr. W. Jones, president of the Havana Division, wan the next speaker, and proved himself a brilliant orator. Three new members were made, namely, Mrs. Sarah Walcott, Mr. William Walcott and Miss Blanch Walcott. The last speaker was the secretary, who spoke on the unusually large attendance and the new spirit of enthusiasm existing among the members and friends of the organization. He appealed for the continuance of same and advised those who were outside of the fold to come in and help to strengthen and fortify the work. The meeting came to its close, and the national air of Ethiopia was gone. Secretary. LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA We are pleased to state that Division 156 is ever forging ahead. Our meetings as a rule are always begun with hymn and prayer, after which we proceed with other matters of benefit and uplift, reaching out after those things which are lasting and permanent. On November 29 and 30 and December I we hold a boaar, which was quite a success. The boaar were five in number, in three of which were displayed some excellent handwork. We recently organized a expanded pamphlet in the person of Mrs Floyd. We are indeed greatly pleased to have her with us. She is also a member of our division. On the first Tuesday in January there will be an election of officers for the ensuing year. D. J. HENDERSON. President. HOOK WORM THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1983 BROOKLYN, NEW YORK Farewell to Prof. Osborne Tuesday evening, Dr. Osborne of the Carolina Hall was packed to its capacity with the members of the Brooklyn Division and East Brooklyn Chapter to bid farewell to Professor Osborne, one of their most loyal and enthusiastic workers. Addresses were delivered by many, each commenting on the professor's loyalty to the cause. Professor Qsborne was the last speaker. He spoke briefly on the views of some of our most educated men and said, among other things, "A man may be a graduate of Harvard, Yale, Oxford and Cambridge universities and be an educated man minus common sense and good judgment; he may be a graduate of these very universities and be an educated man plus common sense and good judgment. Unfortunately we have in our place a large number of educated men minus common sense and good judgment. The educated Negro will continue to be a menace to the progress of his race just so long as he limits his knowledge to the four walls of the room in which he lives. Negro education is a misfortune to him when he is taught to hold himself above his less fortunate brothers because of his superior learning and attainments. I am leaving these United States of America for the West Indies and South America, not as an official representative of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, but as one who has gained a vast amount of knowledge and inspiration from this great movement. Thus I feel that in going to any part of the world I go as one of the four hundred million Negroes of the world to advocate the principles and objects of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. If men are honest and the knowledge they possess is of value to humanity, what excuse can there possibly be for secrets and for steamy? Why withhold anything from anybody if it is true? I believe that the greatest service a man can render to his race is to teach that race to be independent, and independence is what Marcus Garvey is teaching us. Many delicacies were served. President Watkins requested Mrs. Ethel Scott, ex-baby president, to present the division's token to Professor Olsen. Accepting the gift, he expressed his appreciation. We then adjoined with three loud cheers. JACKSONVILLE. FLA. The religious rehearsal of our meeting was opened at 3:15 with the splendour of the opening ode, "From Greenland to Mountains," prayer, scripture reading and comments on the reading. At the conclusion of the devotional exercises the president, Mr. C. Green, declared the popular part of the meeting opened. The minutes of the previous meeting were read and continued and the program taken. The secretary read the front-page article of The Negro World, after which the president followed with an address on the aims and object of the association, The Rev. J. L. Davis delivered a splendid address which he handled in a scholarly manner. The subject was "What Is Truth?" The lady president was neat called upon for a speech and coursed the audience to a high pitch of enthusiasm with her encouraging words. She called upon the members to stand firm and build up a division which would be a credit to the community and would help materially in redeeming the motherland. At the conclusion of her speech a call was made for new members and several were enrolled. It was then announced that next Sunday would be women's rally day and that the program would be in the hands of the ladies of the division. The meeting was brought to a close with the singing of the anthem. REPORTER. NEWARK, NEW JERSEY Newark Division is making every effort to keep the banner of the Red, Black and Green flying. The musical and literary program rendered on Sunday evening, 'December 2, was a most excellent one and reflected great credit on those who took part in it. The Rev. Butler, an active memoir in this division, and an ardent Garveyite, spoke forcefully on the Negro and his relation to the motherland. He so told few Negroes realized what they were loring when they allowed alien races to exploit and ravish that wonderful country, where, a civilization could be built up second to none, and where the souls of black folks could express themselves free from the dominance of alien peoples. Mr. Chesar Dawson, ex-president of the division, was then introduced. His remarks, syeer but, were of such a nature as to encourage the association and to make the members feel that, although Mr. Dawson no longer holds any office, he is exhibiting the true spirit of a local member of the U. N. I. A. in giving his support to those who are now administering the affairs of the association. We also take pleasure in reporting the visit of Colonel Herrigan, of the New York local, who held a conference with the legions around the district.

Miss Mary King gave a solo, which was well received by the audience. Several other recitations and musical numbers were presented to the audience, at the conclusion of, which the meeting was brought to a close with the pronouncing of the benediction. A. JORDAN.

Whittaker to read the English part so that every one would be able to understand. At the conclusion of the address the Mayor replied to the address and promised them that if they continued as they were doing and respected the laws of the country in which they were domiciled they could always count on his supporting the association to the best of his ability. The procession then returned to Liberty Hall, where a short address was delivered to the members, and the meeting adjourned until 4 p.m., when the regular mass meeting would be conducted.

A. work in Boes, gave an interesting talk on the early history of the division. The program consisted of several interesting addresses and beautiful selections, and we desire to thank all those who took part in the program and contributed to the success of the meeting. A banquet is given and at the conclusion of the meeting every one left the ball feeling that the U. N. L. A. was an organization destined to play an important part in the affairs of nations. The Rev.

Commissioner Robertson was the first speaker introduced to the audience. He spoke on the aims and objects of the association and urged all true Negroes to join and put its program over, because if they did not they would have to suffer the consequences, which would not be pleasant to themselves or to the race. The next speaker was Mr. Johnson, who dealt largely with African affairs and spoke in glowing terms of the future in store for the motherland, which he said was a bright one. He exhorted his audience to stick to the U. N. I. A. and its principles, for it was only through that organization that Africa could and would be redeemed. Several other addresses were made, but which, for lack of space, we have not printed, but which gave inspiration to the members to continue the struggle. REPORTER.

Foston, secretario general de la organización, la Sra. Henrietta Vinton Davis, assistente del presidente general y el Sr. Milton Van Lowe, secretario-de la delegación. Socialismo Triunfa en la Monárquica Inglaterra—Haciendo Paño a un Mundo Mas Liberal—La Raza Ve Sírales de Mayores Oporturidades—Luchando Organizadamente Hemos de Triunfar—Nuestra Organización Entra de Lleno en la Política del Universo En la noche del 10, vispera de la partida, se reunió en el Liberty Hall, de esta ciudad una gran concurrencia, con el objeto de dar la despedida a los conisionados y parte de ésta les acompañó al siguiente día hasta el punto de partida en Brooklyn. N. Y., entre los cuales se hallaban el Hon. Marcus Garvey, su señora esposa y el cuerpo ejecutivo de la organización. Las fuerzas subalternas del universo van desenvolviendo gradualmente y esto demuestra que en no lejano tiempo nos veremos en el derrotero de un nuevo reinado en el orden de la sociedad humana. Inglaterra, la conservadora, la monárquica, la aristrocrática, va perdiendo su alto tono político, recayendo este en manos de los mas concientes, apesar de su posición social. Como resultado de esta evolución, no nos extrañaria el ver a la vieja distadura de Europa convertida en una nueva república social, pues el sentimiento del trabajador es el mismo universalmente y juzgando por la actitud de los demás, llegamos a la conclusión de que la aristrocrácia y la monarquía estan a punto de expirar, y esta clase de cambios ha de proporcionar a nuestra raza la gran oportunidad de desenvolverse en un nuevo estado de cosas. Abogando Por Haiti y Santo Domingo El senador democrata, William King, del estado de Utah, presentó en el senado una resolución en que pide la inmediata retirada de las tropas de ocupación de los Estados Unidos en Haiti. Al presentar la resolución anterior, el senador King manifestó que haria solicitud similar respecto de Santo Domingo, a menos que el departamento de estado ordenara la retirada de las tropas de los Estados Unidos de esa república El socialismo, el cual ha adquirido un triunfo significativo en la última campaña electoral inglesa, arribó a la meta de sus aspiraciones por medio de organización. El partido que en épocas pasadas era simplemente una voz casi apagada en el parlamento inglés, constituye hoy día la mas fuerte oposición a la política del gobierno aristocrático; y de igual manera, los que anhelamos un mejor medium vivendis, abrigamos la esperanza de que la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra sea tan perfectamente organizada y arraigada a sus principios, que en otra década o dos pueda contar con la clase de realización que fortalezca a la raza y justifique nuestros esfuerzos del presente. En anteriores, ocaciones el senador King presentó igual o análogo resolución en el senado, habiéndose referido al comité de relaciones exteriores del cuero, quedándose detenida alli y en finguno de los casos anteriores el senado tomo una resolución sobre el particular. En el último informe presentado por el representante militar de los Estados Unidos en Haiti hacia una descripción favorable de la situación en esa república, anadiendo que algunas guarniciones habían sido suprimidas por ser innecesarias, pues el estado de animo de la roblación, especialmente en los centros principales, era sumaniente pacifico. El gran partido socialista de Inglaterra no fue constituido en un día, en un mes o en un año; por varias décadas sus directores fueron abriéndose paso, luchando en contra de una gran oposición, hasta colocarse en la posición que actualmente ocupa en la política británica. Una lucha idéntica descansa en el curso de nuestra organización, y como el partido en cuestión fue preparado, también nosotros hemos de prepararnos. Hemos de luchar y luchar hasta fortalecer a nuestra raza, preparándola para la gran batalla por su conservación. Por otra parte, el gobierno de Haiti está concentrado, en las manos de un consejero nacional, de donde salió elegido el actual presidente doctor Borno, habiendo disuelto las cimaras legislativas, situación que prevalece hasta hoy. Recientemente se informó que tampoco se celebrarian elecciones en Haiti el año entrante para la organización de las cimaras. Aquellos que tenemos en mente la visión de un futuro mas brillante, no tenemos la menor duda de que los principios y propósitos de nuestra organización han de triunfar: en honor a la verdad, realizamos que fracciones potentes e integrantes de la raza laboran unánimemente por la consumación del ideal, y con la satisfacción de pequeñas realizaciones ante nosotros estamos seguros de que el futuro se reportará con la realización de mayores empresas. Una Investigación Necesaria Cuando un individuo que ha sido declarado cuatro veces enagado puede continuar ejerciendo la medicina en la ciudad de Nueva York es tiempo más que oportuno para realizar una completa investigación. Este caso no tiene nada que ver con las recientes revelaciones concernientes a las licencias ilegitimas. Evidente que se ha ejecido atención insuficiente en la concesión de autorizaciones para ejercer su profesión los facultativos. Y un investigación general sobre la posición y caracter de cada doctor seria extremadamente util en este preciso momento. Nuestro más ferviente deseo es ver a la raza económica y politicamente emancipada: antes de que esto sea adquirido, debemos cimentar la propia fundación que concientelemente determina nuestra organización. Hemos de admitir que estamos actualmente mas adelantado en la política del universo que en el pasado; somos objeto de mejor consideración no solamente por individuos, sino por grupos de ravas y por naciones, y todo aquel que usa sentido común sobre el particular, realiza que el destino del Negro descansa sobre el programa de nuestra organización y unidos hemos de marchar hacia tal destino. Se ha solicitado al gobiernoador Smith que reuna un consejo que reconiende leyes que pongan fin a la expediencia de titulos ilegitimos. Deberia hacerse esto pues existen aún ejerciendo ilegitimamente en Nueva York titulados de la fabrica de doctores de Connecticut y continuarán en actividad tanto tiempo como osen hacerlo. Continuemos en nuestra batalla de día en día con mayor vehemencia; no desmayemos con las barreras colocadas en nuestra camino: éstas son naturalmente las gradas en la escala de las grandes realizaciones. Revestidos con el nuevo espiritu de determinación y la firme confianza en nuestros esfuerzos, inspirémonos en la realizaciones del partido del trabajo en Inglaterra y de sus fuerzas en el universo. El ascenso de tal partido político ha de traer como consecuencia directa un nuevo orden político, el cual no ha de ser tan indiferente a las necesidades humanas, como lo fué el partido que acaba de ser derrotado por la fuerza organizada. La legislatura no puede concerzar a actuar hasta después del primero de enero. Pero el Departamento de Higiene Pública puede en seguida determinar si los doctores de Nueva York están capacitados para ejercer la medicina. El peligro de concentrar a un médico con o sin licencia, o a un médico pero mentalmente o físicamente incapacitado para escribir recetas o llevar a cabo operaciones es tan evidente que debiera ser compreensible hasta para un funcionario de la municipalidad. Cuando contemplamos la táctica de las distintas maquinarias políticas que dirijen actualmente los destinos de la humanidad, deducimos poco sentido común en sus actos y actitudes porque de su ejecución solamente dimanan disturbios v conflagraciones. El socialismo tendrá suficiente inteligencia para saber que el mejor curso que deba seguir en pro de su propia prosperidad, es el curso de la sinceridad para con todos los grupos humanos. Paris Anuncia la Abdicación El Intranseigent, diario de Paris, ha publicado un nuevo articulo sobre el tema de que el principe de Gales se propone renunciar al trono de Inglaterra. No podemos concebir la idea de que el socialismo se aventure a luchar con otros pueblos, con el objeto de explotarles de todo aquello que por ley natural a dichos pueblos pertenece; y mucho menos pensar que McDonald como primer ministro británico, declare la guerra a los nativos africanos, quienes simple y exclusivamente intentan protejer sus derechos como humanos; pero si lo superamos de Balfour y de Lloyd George, representantes del capital y de la aristocracia de su pals. se asegura, que ello obedece a motivos de salud y señala el mencionado periodico que desde que se efectuó el casamiento del duque de York este ha sido objeto de honores y tratamientos que antes fueron siempre exclusivos del heredero. La duquesa ha:sído prevenida de que se abestenga de bailar en restaurants y demas sitios-publicos, lo cual en el concepto del articulista indica que un día llegará a ser la reíse de la Gran Bran tretaña. Con mayor socialismo en las riendas de los gobiernos predomigantes, hemos de obtener mayor consideración en la sánción de los asuntos humanos. Estamos de placeme toda vez que el monopolio político se vea derrrotado por el esfuerzo organizado de aquel elemento del pueblo, que sabe a conciencia lo que justicia y amor humano significan. Como miembros de una organización y de una raza, contingemos nuestra labor con la misma asiduoidad del porfolio que triunfa y sai nos acercaremos más y más al grano inesentito en que seamos los ejecutores y modeladores de nuestro propio destino. Presta apoyo a eatas versiones la obatinación del principe de Gales en permanecer soltero y con más o menos fundamento se relatan incidentes recientemente ocurridos en los que se le pinta en abierta oposición con los deseos de au padre.

MARCUS GARVEY 133 W. 129th Street, New York City Agents Who Desire to Handle These Pictures Can Also Communicate With Above Address Le revolución que esta perturbando a Méjico, aunque prescipita por una disputa entre habitantes aspirantes al poder y a los absturzos, resulta de diferencias mucho más serias que una simple cuestión personal. Desde un punto da vista se trata de una lucha entre importantes elementos radicales y conservadores y aus ideas; desde otro punto de vista sefila una etapa crítica en la evolución de las relaciones entre los estados de Méjico y la republica. Estas relaciones han cambiado considerablemente en el pasado y aun en el presente son algo confusas. En la práctica los poderes de los estados mejicanos se contraen cuando existe una fuerte administración central en la ciudad de Méjico y se extienden cuando la administración neutral es debil. Aunque el título oficial de Méjico es el de Estados Unidos de Méjico, su proceso federativo fue inverso al de este país. Aqui trece colonias que adquirieron la soberanía por una victoria en la guerra, formaron un gobierno nacional coq la cegación de la delagación de determinados y cuidadosamente definidos poderes. Méjico, por otra parte, fue administrado centralmente durante la colonia española, y siguió siendo administrado así por muchos años después de realizada la independencia. Un estado mejicano por consiguiente no es soberano; pero no obstante funciona lo suficiente como tal para convertirse en épocas de perturbación o bajo una dirección violenta a ambiciosa, en fluente de peligros para la federación. La constitución mejicana de 1917, en el interés de la reforma agraria, concedió prácticamente a las municipalidades la autonomía. Prohibió también a los estados la aplicación de ciertas contribuciones consideradas generalmente como interiores. Estas restricciones a los estados produjeron el resentimiento entre numerosas personas de influencia, especialmente funcionarios de los estados y personas cuyos terrestres habían sido confiscados por las municipalidades bajo los términos de la reforma agraria. La capacité de un estado para causar dificultades al goliero federal de Méjico está bien illustrado por la historia reciente de Sonora. Ese gran estado, el más sequentral de Méjico, dirigió la revolución contra Huerta. Carranza procedia de Sonora. De Sonora procedían también los adversarios trimfales de Carranza, el victorioso trimvizionado compuesto por Obregon, Calles y de la Huerta que gobernó a Méjico por más de tres años y la disolución del cual ha sido rapidamente seguida del levantamiento en armas. La presente perturbación esta centralizada en Veracruz y Tamaulipas, los principales estados, productores de petroleo y los más severamente afectados por las prescripciones radicales de la actual constitución. Los impuestos sobre la producción de petroleo dan al gobierno federal sus más seguros ingresos. Tampico es el puerto petrolero más importante del mundo, y Veracruz es el puerto mejicano más importante en el Atlántico para el tráfico de mercancías generales. Si los rebeles legan sustener estos dos estudios la revolución puede ser mucho más seria de lo que el presidente Obregón está resuelto a reconocer atm.—N. X. Herald. La delegación filipina presidida por el señor Manuel Kajana, miembro de la clámina de disputados del archipiélago, ha llegado a Washington y promo será recibida por el presidente Coolidge. El secretario de guerra Weeks aconsejará la delegación a la Casa Blanca y tomar parte en la conferencia. El presidente de la delegación visitó las oficinas de asuntos insulares del departamento de guerra y hara luego público el objeto de la visita. A este acompañan el señor Jorge Bocobo, niombre de la Facultad de Derecho de la Universidad de Filipinas, el señor Jaime Vera, ex-subsecretario de Comerció y el señor Catalina Lavadia, ex-subsecretario de Comunicaciones. Liberación de Los Prisoneros Políticos Se considera como cosa cierta que el presidente Coolidge otorgara su perdón a "los prisoners políticos antes de la fiesta de navidad. El representante socialista del estado de Wisconsin conferencio acerca de esto con el primer ejecutivo y comunicación después sus impresiones. Lo unico que espera el presidente antes de proceder, es el informe de la comisión especial nombrada con la fun. En los doce meses que precedieron a julio ultimo, perdieron la vida trece agentes federales de la prohibición y cinquenta y cinco sufrieron heridas gravemente en el cumplimiento de su deber. Las propiedades destruidas y dedidas a la fabricación de licorse calcula que valian cuatro millones de dollars. El primer ministro Muscini ha recibido una de egegación de israelitas presidida por el tablino principal de la ciudad santa y les aseguró de que los hebreos pudieran sentirse totalmente libre en los dominio de Italia.

Take a step away from the grave! Don't wait until you are gone. Why suffer any longer? Don't A new discovery is said to have been made by a scientific study of German mountain people, who scientists say live 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 manly strength, youthful vigor, grace and beauty led by neglect of abuse. Scientists agree that the secret of health and vigor lies in the internal glands and if these glands are stimulated and host in normal activity, man might live forever and amenities such as warm, worn-out feeling, weakness, sorrow, disability, action compulsion, sensitivity, urinary tract, restlessness at night, poison, headache, musculoskeletal, etc., should disappear. The difficulty encountered by the medical world has been to find the right investigator.
