The Negro World

UNITED RACE FOR 1924, WISH HEAD OF GREAT ORGANIZATION Fellow Men of the Negro Race, Greeting: We have entered upon the career of a new year. The one just passed has been difficult and eventful. The Universal Negro Improvement Association encountered many difficulties during 1923, but, characteristic of us, we have risen above them all, and now find ourselves ready for the work of the new year. We face 1924 with a strong and rigid determination to battle our way to the forefronts of races and nations. To us, therefore, the new year is one of work and hope. Unselfishly we are supposed to cast away our hates, dislikes and misunderstandings, and unite as one people to go forward with the banner of liberty. New Era of Progress Let us contemplate a new era of progress and prosperity for Africa, brought about by the combined efforts of the Negro peoples of the world, all working in the direction of changing her native trust and dependence upon others, into a bountiful spirit of self-reliance, through which her native sons, those at home and those abroad, will take upon themselves the responsibility to lift her out of the mire of international intrigue into the atmosphere of racial freedom freedom industrially, commercially, educationally and politically—that ideal to which all self-respecting peoples aspire. News from France Just as the old year was about to close the news was flashed to us from across the waters that France is about to adopt a new social attitude toward the Negroes within her European confines; that through the agitation of a group of white Frenchmen domiciled in Paris the effort is to be made to socially discipline and separate the blacks from the whites who are now living in Paris. Prophecy of U. N. I. A. This act is but a confirmation of the prophecy of the Universal Negro Improvement Association of years ago that France ultimately would not treat the Negro better than America or any other white country, that her attitude in the past in Europe toward Negroes, was because she had not a Negro domestic problem. We stated far away in 1918 and 1919, and right through our expressions of opinions on the question, that if France were to have within her borders ten or fifteen million Negroes, as the United States, there would be as many outrages in France as AFRICA SHOULD BE DEVELOPED FOR HER SONS, THOSE AT HOME AND ABROAD AFRICA SHOULD BE DEVELOPED FOR HER SONS, THOSE AT HOME AND ABROAD FRANCE DRAWING THE COLOR LINE PROPHECY OF UNIVERSAL MEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION COMING TRUE we have in America. We said that not only of France, but of England, that if a similar number of Negroes were to be domiciled within her borders that the same frictions and troubles and conflicts would happen in Manchester, in Liverpool or in the outlying counties as have happened in Georgia, Mississippi, Tennessee or Alabama of the United States. Statement Supported guided advocates of better racial understanding that there can be no permanent peace and goodwill for Negroes in white communities where the former form a minority of the population and where they exist in rivalry and competition with the other race socially, industrially, politically and otherwise. Why Waste Time? Why should we continue to waste our time in dreams of impossibility? We must realize that there is an eternal difference between black and white, whether the blacks be natives of Africa, the West Indies or of the United States, or the whites of America, Europe or anywhere else. There is absolutely no difference between the white Frenchman, the white American and the white Englishman on the question of race; because, properly speaking, they are all children of the same origin; but when it comes to the white man and the Negro there is a vast difference that cannot be compromised neither by sentiment nor any spiritual appeal. The destinies of the two peoples are separate and distinct. Why not face the facts therefore and unitedly work toward the improvement of our own race as the whites are bound to do by themselves if they are true to themselves? We of the Universal Negro Improvement Association are not vexed with the Frenchman for making this declaration of racial separation in France. It is the best thing that could happen. It will undeceive those Negroes in France who once declared they were Frenchmen first and Negroes after. Diagne will now realize that he made a mistake when he made such a statement. The white man is a member of his race before he becomes a part of his nationality, and so it is of the Negro. The Negro should therefore first think in the terms of race. Millions United in 1924 We hope that in 1924 the four hundred million of us will make absolutely no mistake in realizing that unitedly we must march on toward the goal of racial destiny. We hope that there will be a greater spirit of sympathy among the races during this new year, that the white race will get to realize that it is only by their respecting the rights of other peoples can their rights be also respected; that the world holds a place for everybody, and that it is only when each and every one of us in the different groups yields to the other that which is his will we have standing in 1924 there is absolutely no reason why we will not have a year of peace and plenty. Chance for Africa Let Europe settle down to the development of herself and let America settle down to the development of her internal interest; let Asia have her chance to develop by herself, and so naturally we expect the world will give to Africa the right and privilege that she seeks in developing by herself in the interest of her native sons. We who have been torn from our mother's bosom for over three hundred years will look with a keener longing homeward in this new year. Our hearts and minds will be firmer set on African colonization and citizenship than they have ever been before. There will be much for us to do in this direction. Let us realize it, and let us work for it, is the wish of, Universal Negro Improvement Association. New York, January 1, 1924. P. S.—I make another appeal to the Divisions, Chapters and Branches of the Universal Negro Improvement Association all over the world to rally to the assistance of the parent body in its 1924 program. This can be done by each Division, Chapter and Branch getting financial immediately. Each and every member of the association is reminded that this is the month when the annual tax must be paid. All secretaries are therefore requested to collect the dollar tax from each member for the upkeep of the association. Members should see that the tax is paid and that same is forwarded to the parent body as by requirements of the Constitution. M. G. Written on Request for the Negro World by ROTHSCHILD FRANCIS About 1400 miles southeast of this great city of New York three beautiful islands will be seen whose shores are washed by the waves of the Caribbean Sea on one side and the Atlantic on the other. The mountain tops are kissed by the rays of the tropical sun, and there is no winter there. The people (an overwhelming majority colored) can boast of a civilization over 200 years old. These islands were formerly called the Danish West Indies. They are now an integral part of the United States and known as the Virgin Islands of the United States. Prior to 1917 the natives were able to make a livelihood. The island of St. Croix can produce the best sugar and rum on this old earth, while the island of St. Thomas, then the Singapore, of the West, grew famous for its manufacture of bay rum. It has also the safest harbor in the world, with all the necessary for bunkering and repairing ships. Uncle Sam in the Saddle The Americans came. Many were the intrusions on the civil liberties of the people. This is past history. We need not recapitulate. Do it said to their credit, nevertheless, that they improved the health of the people, cut the high rate of infant mortality and improved upon the Danish elementary school system, so that there is not a second of its kind in the West Indies. But the big men at Washington without any consideration for the island geographic situation, applied certain Federal laws to them without divosing ways and means, it seems, to give the natives a chance to live in at least as decent a manner as they had therefore. The laws, to the minds of the majority of thinking natives, are remisible to a large extent, for the acute misery "that exists in the islands at present, as well as being the effect causes of the large exodus from islands." Underfed Women and Children must imagine out there labor is the greatest where the flag of this Rural wayes. The price per hour is a 12 to 22 cents for unskilled labor, eight-hour way in all instances, the father of a family of three—and that is a conservative statement for workers out there usually have three families—cannot find employment regularly for fifteen days in three months. Apart from a ship calling at St. Thomas for bombing or supplies or the planting, cutting and printing of cane in St. Cross, there is no circulation of money among the working people. Unemployed men and underfed women and children are the questions of the moment. A people cannot buy when they are unemployed, therefore, our merchants are facing dark days. It takes but little to make us happy. Uncle Sam does not know that. That's why he needs to be told so very often. Reasons for the Kicking And the funniest thing is that Native are not citizens of the United States. Nevertheless, they are forced to obey laws they did not make and to say the least, that are intended to their interests. Because a law is good for Texas, Maryland or Tennessee, for that matter, is no reason why it should be applied to the Virun Islands. Here is an example where a group of people are forced to live in misery through a fallacious theory. I say fallacious when applied to the Virun Islands. Maybe it is necessary to point out that filled stomats are necessary to make reliable patrons. Going to Washington The writer believes in the American people's sense of fair play. He thinks that they are mostly bound to give the natives of the Virgin Islands a fighting chance. He further believes that the American people do not know what hardships the application of their Federal laws are working on them adopted children, in the Caribbean, and for these reasons and many more unexpressed, a terrible sacrifice is made by coming to the main land so as to tell Congress and other interested parties about conditions as they are in the islands. Cause Needs Strong Friends Every lover of liberty and opportunity can help the islanders to put across their grievances to the nation. Remember that the Virgin Islands are politically dead, although an integral part of this republic. Remember the natives of these islands are not citizens of the United States. They have no resident commissioner at Washington and there are saddler things than these. Redefine seriously, and you'll see relief can come only through publicity and remoral legislation. I am not writing about Russians, Germans, Italians or Armenians. I am writing about a people who live on an integral part of the United States, who speak the common tongue and whose knowledge of American institutions and American ideals is first rate. They need friends. Where do you stand on this question? Will you let them perish? Let your reply be prompt and decisive. N.

Bold Call to Leaders of Race Groups to Unite for Greater Results — African National- 4st Movement a Big Factor Members, friends, associates and well-wishers, of the Universal Negro Improvement Association: It is indeed a great pleasure to give you a resume of my experience with the above-named organization, especially at this time of the year, which on accounting takes place to record the obstacles overcome, the disappointments hugged at, the anxiety and weariness that called for great endurance, self-encouragement, inspiration and courage, the progress achieved, maintained and carried on. The Position in Europe After Negroes had faithfully served in the allied armies and navies, the world made safe for "democracy" my attention was arrested at the time of the racial disturbances in Liverpool, because the authorities wanted the men to pay their way, back to their respective homes. The reason behind this was the money paid for services, including prizes in cash for capturing and otherwise disabling enemy submarines, and the refusal of white seamen to ship with black seamen after the great danger of going to sea had been controlled. It was during a trip to the Admiralty in aid of these men that The Negro World came into my possession and my acquaintance with our leader began. Conducting an intense campaign for information, I realized the diplomacy of Colonial Administration, finding out in the last analysis that the Negro was a political nonentity, notwithstanding the limited self-government he excuses in some parts of the world. In Scotland the Negro is recognized, and I have pleasant recollections of personal visit and my treatment at the universities of Edinburgh and Glasgow. In Ireland the Negro is well-known in various responsible positions, but holds no sway. We are familiar with the tragic history of a very interesting group of the human family. In France and Belgium the Negro holds great power in that representation in the Chamber of Deputies safeguards his rights. The agencies in the Belgian Congo were well covered, and on the publicity given to these outrages against Africans a change has been effected. In Italy there is a recognized relationship. The dictator to Southern Italy will find the result of African travel and influence in times long past. Canada The political identity of the Negro is lost in the precursor history of the country. Negro delegates were not sent in the federation. Although Negro workers brought the strike to a successful end by refusing to "teach" America Peculiar complex contradictions face the issue here. The South continues US policy of intimidation and repression, and the ballot is unapproachable and the vote consequently void. The Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments of their operations strangled the North, tolerant and far-scoring, keeps abrupt of the times, apparently willing to accept the facts in proportion to the North demonstrates his ability and fitness for those tasks and duties, out of which nations are born and maintained. The Influence of the U. N. I. A. Welding a powerful influence and exerting great forces through its divisions, everywhere, the Universal Negro Improvement Association, since my contact with it in England, from 1920, has developed until its program of a strong nation and government in Africa for the African and her sons and daughters in all parts of the world, including whatever may have been the changes due to slavery and our dispersion, is now accepted as tenable, receiving a hearing in the councils of the world. The Call The call now is for representative men and women of ability, to accept his, or her part of the work and carry it on to a greater success. Everybody everywhere, 'm all walks of life, must understand their relationship to the whole structure and so fit themselves to efficiently play their parts. Industries THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JANUARY 5, 1924 Edward Y. Clarke, Who; With Rev. William J. Simmons, Revived the Organization of Reconstruction Days, Denounces His Creature It will be his general interest to the readers of The Negro World to learn that Edward Y. Clerk, who, with Rev. William Joseph Simmons, revived and made National the membership of the Ku Klux Klan, which was created in the reconstitution period after the civil war to "keep the Negro in his place," but who have been displaced in control of the organization by a group represented by Dr. W. H. Evans of Texas, has appealed to the President of the United States to aid in reforming the order or bringing about his destruction. The President is said to take the attitude that it is best to allow "dog to eat dog." The new Ku Klux Klan organization is opposed to the Catholic, the foreign, the Jewish and the Negro citizenship and equality of right, and has gone into politics to further its unpatriotic aims. Mr. Clerk's letter to the President is as follows: "I have received from widely scattered sections of the country direct and authoritative information that the Klan is rapidly developing patternily as a cheap political machine, a regulatory law and order league and, in sections where it is strangely, brazenly and openly superceding the authority of the courts and, through character assassination, intimidation and actual physical violence, depriving American citizens of their constitutional rights without due process of law or trial before a jury of their people. Shocked at Degradation "The positive and indispensable information which has come to me as to the gradual degradation and deprivation of the Knights of the Ku Kut Klan through disregard of its high ideals, principles and purposes, is a severe shock and been disappointment to me." While I am perfectly willing to assume the moral responsibility which is rightly mine as having been chiefly instrumental in the building of the Klan, in justice to myself and the hundreds of thousands of high-grade men who have been drawn into the Klan because of its declaration of ideals and]—thiepsies, I cannot and will not passive and silent and sit idly by in the face of such conditions and thus allow to fall on my shoulders the blame for the crimes of justice, individual liberty and respect for the courts and mental base of all wealth. Human energy is the deciding factor for getting at this wealth. It follows the every attempt must be made to understand farming, the value of land the productivity of the soil and the land of crop suitable for the climate. During the years of my extensive travel, I have found that the learner-profession of law, medicine, literature, theology, music, art and literature have amassed the attention of Negroes having the financial means to take up these studies. These professions must extend the economics, business, trade, commerce, shipping, railroad, construction and administration, engineering, surveying, electricity, manufacture and invention. I make the unqualified statement because the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association is represented as everything else than what it really is and intends to be. Talk about the lack of opportunities, here is a chance of chance for men and women to learn, aspire and delegate themselves, to the program that does not limit their natural or required ability. This constructive program calls on leaders to join in, for the possibilities and potentialities are inexhaustible. The political situation is up favor of Negroes and Africa beyond a shadow of a doubt. The world's attention has been gained; the African nationalist movement is a big factor in international affairs. Experienced grinder point the way and it is, therefore, up to us to assist the less fortunate of our kitchen everywhere. Marcus Garvey's Work Standing in a closet by himself Marissa Gapos has struck the right note at the right time. Those of you who are taking advanced studies in the science of government, the growth and development of nations, the trend of history and the evolutionary development of the human family in its various ethnic divides, understand more fully and deeper the magnitude of the work undertaken, and beyond a question of doubt, must acknowledge that the Negro, African, Ethiopian, has been the world's ancestor in ages long past, and now that time in its cycle has brought him again to the forefront, the novelly practically staggers the imagination of those of us whose privilege it is to see these things. Fatience is the new staff that will hold us due to the road on which we are travelling. I feel sure that I need not call your attention to small countries that have advanced, none having the resources of Africa, nor containing the stalwart manhood of the Negro that has triumphed over everything possible to destroy him from the surface of tiger earth. In the words of the Supreme Architect of the Universe, I call, "Speak to the Children of Africa, that they go FORWARD." NEGRO FARMER OF MICHICAN SENDS CONGRATULATORY LETTER TO HON. MARCUS GARVEY AND HIS WIFE With an Eye on Repatriation Movement to Africa, Makes Earnest Plea for the Boosting of Agriculture Among FarmerS—Says Experiments With Plants From Africa Prove Highly Successful REPORTED LYNCHINGS FOR 1923 LESS THAN PREVIOUS YEAR To the Editor of The Negro World: I send you the following concerning lynchings for the past year as compiled by Tuskegee Institute in the Department of Records and Research, Monroe N. Work in charge. I find that there were twenty-eight persons lynched in 1923. This is twenty-nine less than the number (fifty-seven) for the year 1922. Thirteen of the persons lynched were taken from the hands of the law, seven from jails and six from officers of the law outside of jails. We also find that there were forty-six instances in which officers of the law prevented lynchings. Four women three white and one colored, were among those thus saved. Six of these preventions of lynchings were in Northern States and forty in Southern States. In thirty-seven of the cases the prisoners were removed or the guards augmented or other precautions taken. In the nine other instances, armed force was used to repel the would-be lynchers. In eight instances during the year persons charged with being connected with lynching mobs were brought to trial. Of the fifty-two persons thus before the courts only two were sent to the penitentiary. Of the twenty-eight persons lambled in 1923, twenty-six were Negroes and two were whites; two of the former were women, seven, or one-fourth of those put to death, were charged with rape or attempted rape; one of the victims was burned to death; one was put to death and then the body was burned. The charge against the one burned to death was murder. The offenses charged against the whites were: Participation in strike depredations; 1; being taken as a Negro. 1. The offenses charged against the Negroes were: Murder, 3; murderous assault, 2; rape, 6; attempted rape, 1; killing officer of the law, 2; wounding officer of the law, 2; no charge reported, 3; assisting man charged with rape to escape, 1; resisting pose searching for man charged with raps²; cattle stealing, 1; trying to agit like white man and not knowing his place³. 1.

MOTON, Principal, Tuskegee Institute, December 31. The following interesting letter on the Wall in Violet Farm, addressed to Mr. and Mrs. Marcus Garvey, will prove of good information to all the readers' of The Negro World. The letter is as follows: I have been reading The Negro World for four months and have enjoyed it very much. A friend of mine, S. Lawson, made me a present of a four months' subscription, and I assure You that I intend to continue reading the paper. I have been especially interested in Mrs. Garvey's account of our people during our trip to the coast. I ain't a Negro florist and farmer. We make a specialty of growing the Myrtle Louise Double Violet, and we have shipped as many as spun a week. We grow other flowers also, and do all kinds of floral work. We also grow thousands of asters every season. Our farm department consists of Jersey cows, O. I. C. hogs, and Illinois island red chickens. Now, Mr. Garvey, am writing this letter because I want to acknowledge that you are doing a wonderful work; also, that I am especially interested in the Afro-American farmers and producer, and not so much the consumer. It appears to me that not enough emphasis is being placed upon the fact that we need more business farmers. There are thousands of Negroes coming, North and only a very few of them are producers or business farmers, which, to my mind, is a very grave situation. At this time of year, when factories close down and the wheels of industry shuck up for a while, then the cry is for food and plenty of it. These times will come and always when we are the least prepared, and the result is suffering and death, to say nothing of the crimes these conditions drive men to. I agree that we must have our professional men and women, doctors, lawyers, and others, but what will become of those and the masses when there is a shortage of food. We can avoid this, only by producing that which means life, and that is food. I believe that in this movement of our people we need a department of agriculture, or a supervisor, for the exclusive benefit of the Negro farmer to inform those who contemplate moving, the condition of markets, soil, schools, churches, land, and the price of name in the state where the prospective farmer intends to settle. I be- Universal Awakening of the African World to a Sense of Brotherhood, Nationhood and Necessity of Doing for Themselves Seen WHAT NOW ANGLO-SAXON (From the Gold, Coast Leader) We are marching to nationhood, and it need hardly be said that it is a rugged, difficult path. In every undertaking that is going to command lasting success the difficulties must be understood, so as to make the necessary effort commensurate with the task. With the general awakening of our race throughout the world we in British West Africa have had our share in full measure. The great war, which was to end all war, was, in the hand of the Wielder of Human Destiny, an instrument to introduce new values in world affairs. Too long had the world taken things for granted. The fetish of prestige obscured men's vision, the hypocrisy of conventionally warped their Judgment. The little had come for mankind to see things in their true light, conformably with the true progress of humanity. And the controlling power which shaped all to particular ends is still working, and none shall let it. Among those ends are that the crooked shall be made straight and that the cry of the innocent that has gone up to God shall not return unanswered. Hence the universal awakening of the African world. He is awakened to a sense of breadth, a sense of nationhood and to a sense that he must do for himself in effecting his political and economic emancipation. In all this the part of British West Africa is plain and unmistakable. There is no need for Elusions. British West Africa forms part of the British commonwealth of nations known as the British Empire. That empire comps of dominions, colonies and protectorates in various stages of political liberty. We in West Africa have a definite goal, a definite work before us. We see no reason why we should not in time develop into a self-governing dominion, the British West African Empire that has for so long been in mourn dreams. To tae the call is urgent and the vision clear. We have in West Africa the richest country in the world. As to the personal element, it, people are among some of the most intelligent you can meet, anywhere on the face of the earth. We have traveled somewhat mixed with all sorts of people and know what we are talking about. (Continued on page 8) IN MICHICAN SENDS RY LETTER TO HON. HARVEY AND HIS WIFE on Movement to Africa, Makes hosting of Agriculture Among ments With Plants From Highly Successful have further that a great number of our farmers are going to the cities because they have no knowledge of the true facts and conditions, and no source of obtaining the same of the oppor- tunities, that the farms in the North offer to them. Do we not need this even in Africa? From my point of view an analysis of the soil, climate, condition and our possibilities of general farming an advance colony of real business farmers to raise the food and have it ready when the consumers arrive? My honest conviction in this glatter is that we do not boost the Afro-American farmer enough, and being one deeply interested in this line of work and thought, it is a source of pleasure at this time to express my views to him. Mr. Garvey, I have in mind the publication of a Journal to be called the Afro-American Farmer, a weekly, to take up in detail every phase of the farmers' business, not to advocate a great movement to the North, but to urge those who contemplate moving to have some definite object in moving, and to know something of the place where they are going. Will you kindly give me your opinion on this matter? In my horticulture work I am experimenting for the Forgegian Department of Agriculture, and a great many of the plants are from Africa, which I am having good success with. I do not say this to be bragging; however, we are the largest Negro-growers of flowers in the world; also the largest grower of the double violet-west of Rhincheck, New York. Now, my dear Mrs. and Mrs. Garvey, Mrs. Wilson and myself extend to you an invitation to visit our home. Wishing you a happy New Year, youa very truly. A. I. HART & CO. SUSPEND OPERATIONS We have received notice from the stockholders that A. I. Hart & Co., the famous notion builders, have decided in the best interests of the stockholders to suspend operations, and the business is now in the hands of a receiver. Because of the general interest in this business, the Negro World, in the next issue, will carry a detailed statement of the affairs of this concern. ROLAND HAYES TO OPEN TOWN HALL'S OWN CONCERT SEASON Roland Hayes, the Negro tenor, who was given such an ovation when he sang at the Town Hall earlier in the season, will be heard in New York on January 3, this time under Town Hall management. Mr. Hayes recently sang in Chicago, and Chicago critics proved as enthusiastic about him as were those of New York. The fact that he is a soloist for the Boston Symphony Orchestra, and that the opinion of the London, Paris, Vienna and New York critics has been that he is a real musical find, lends a special interest to his second appearance here. "12. S." writing in the Chicago Journal of December 13, said: "Roland Hayes' recital at Orchestra Hall last night was one of the most enjoyable events recent seasons have afforded. The new tenor sings with a light and very fragile voice which is expertly trained and used. Applying it to many varied styles of song he brings to each a refinement of treatment which is very unusual for its delicacy and very often for its taste." Hackett, in the Chicago Post, said, "Roland Hayes is a remarkable singer, one with the instinctive feeling for music which is the heritage of his race yet with a mind to think the 'white man's music' in what we have been wont to call the white man's mode." Born in humble estate in Georgia, Roland Hayes earned his education and vocal development by his own efforts. The success of his first concerts encouraged him to try his fortune in Europe. He became the tople of musical London, where Ernest Newman voiced the general opinion in placing him above any tenor of the day. He sang with Sir Henry Woods' orchestra and later went to Paris at the invitation of Pleure to appear with the Colonne Orchestra. The verdict of Paris was an enthusiastic as that of London. In Vienna he was received as badglove no other tenor in years. It is significant that he was particularly priged in France for his singing of the French songs and in Vienna for his command and diction in the German "Lieder." In singing the Negro spirituals he opened a virtually unknown field to the European public. Songs of France, England, Germany and a group of Negro spirituals will fuse upon the Roland Hayes program here. INFLUENCE OF NEGRO ON MODERN DANCE (From the New York Daily News, December 20) "Much of the success of our modern dancers—eccentric and otherwise—may be attributed to the influence of the colored race," says George White, the young producer of "Rumpl' Wild" and "Scandals," and himself a hoofer of recognized merit. "It seems to me," he continued, "that the colored man's emotions rush to his feet. This is especially true of the colored man of the more primitive type, such as those found in some sections of the South. "Here in the North the son of Hamides has spontaneously under a cloak of reserve much after the manner of the white man. But his unequaled sense of rhythm and symphonization is quickly in evidence under propitious circumstances. "The Southern colored man's first impression is to give vent to his feelings in dance, regardless of whether his feelings be joyous or mournful. And how colored folk can dance in ensemble? A sight not soon to be forgotten is that of a band of plantation darkies on a moonlight night doing a shuffle to the accompaniment of a low, crooning melody. "What our dancers have done is to elaborate on the original dances of their dark-skinned children. But in my opinion the originators still are the best dancers of their-kind in the world." Note.-Mr. White is correct in his characterization as regards that large number of Negroes whose emotions are centered in their heels, but, glad to relate, the Negro's emotions today, for the most part, are rushing to his head, all the propaganda to the contrary notwithstanding.—Editor The Negro World. France to Make New Attempt to Signal Mars PARIS, December 26.—A new attempt to communicate with Mars will be made by scientists who have established themselves on the summit of the Jungfrau, in Switzerland, according to dispatches from Geneva to the Matin. The Jungfrau, in the Bernese Alps, is 13,668 feet high. The attempt will be made next August at an altitude of 11,000 feet. At that time Mars will be in peripheral opposition to the earth. More than a dozen different instruments will be used, including a tremendous lens using the whole surface of the snow clad Alps as a reflector. The results will be studied with the most powerful telescopes known to science. Practical as Well as Spiritual Education to Be Given Natives by the Baptist Board THE LIBERIAN FIELD By REV. W. F. GRAHAM In the Missionary Herald A new day has come. The old way must pass away. We need now, no more little weakly, sickly women to be sent to Africa, to spend all their time writing back for more money and telling heart-rending stories, for if the African is already ready to die, how, in the name of heaven, do their numbers keep up over and above two hundred millions? How is it that in Liberia, covering a territory about the size of Virginia, the population is, always about two millions? If these people are always dying, it takes a long time for them to die. What shall we do? My idea is the J. E. East Idea. Dr. East spent eleven years in South Africa. He preached, he taught school, he felled the forest, he plowed the ground, he opened up a blacksmith's shop, he built houses and set the natives on a high ground of real, practical, Christian civilization. They saw him work and therefore they felt that there was virtue in work. We are going to begin anew in the heria. We are going to take two thousand acres of land and build on it a real tappi Tuskegee. We are going to have blacksmiths, shops, carpenter shops, masonry plow hands, missionary corn growers, missionary coffee growers and missionary road builders and bridge makers. This is the sort of work that must be done in Liberia. Young preachers, graduating trees, schools should not be encouraged to go to Africa to live on flowery beds of ease. A man going as a missionary, unwilling to plow, unwilling to make a garden, unwilling to build a house, should not be allowed to go. In fact, the Foreign Mission Board should go to such schools as Tuskegee and Hampton and find men with trades, not preacher, men who have studied agriculture, men who will be Bibie missionaries, according to that Scripture which teaches us that men must live by the sweat of their brow, and those who will not work should not be allowed to eat. There is place in Africa for clothwork shops. Let us learn lessons from the bees, the ants, the little conies and other animals that prepare for a rainy day. We make a mistake to send any more ultra, Literat, poets, standard historian, sky-scraping orators, soft-sitting school teachers to Africa. Let's get down to it. Let's get real, good workers. Dr. M. H. Jones, who has spent twenty years in Liberia, is a preacher and a physician, he tells me that he has never suffered for want of something to eat since he has been there; he works, his church members work; that they grow fruit, corn, rice, potatoes, and that when he wants fresh meat he takes his gun and goes out into the forest and returns with sufficient meat to make happy his station. We are tired of men and women going to Africa, writing back on every ship, drawing pictures of monkey starvation, big snake eating and cooking of roots out of the ground.

STANDS FOR SERVING GOD WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY PARTICULAR BRAND OF RELIGION-KEEP THAT WHICH WE HAVE AND KNOW OF RATHER THAN CHANGE TO SOMETHING WE KNOW NOT OF LIBERTY HALL, New York, Sunday Night, Dec. 29.—Tonight marked another definite step in the activities of the Universal Negro Improvement Association towards the fulfilment of its program for establishing independent government for Negroes on the continent of Africa, when the Universal Negro Improvement Association presented a petition which was drafted to be forwarded to the President of the United States, the Senate, and the House of Representatives and the Press, settling forth the desire of Negroes in the United States to have a government of their own and praying for their aid in the accomplishment of this desire. The petition which contained a comprehensive statement of the claim of the Negro race to self-government was read by Mr. Garvey, who said it was the intention to circulate it broadest among all the divisions in the United States to obtain the signatures of the 20 million members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. The announcement was free with acclamation and the second to masse subscribed their signatures to the document which will make history for the organization and apose the world to a realization of the permeance of the Negro in his determination to enaminate himself and enjoy the privileges of nationhood. The usual musical program was rendered and the speakers were Hon. Rudolph Smith and Hon. G. E. Custer, whose remarks were very timely and were well to be cited in the audience. HON. RUDOLPH SMITH SPEAKS How Rudolph Singh was the most speaking. He met all of the speakers from New York and elsewhere, having been among them in the city of Dearborn, Chicago, Columbus, Chicago, and Pittsburgh. He was a great part of the day some of the most important enthusiasts in the city. At times said by the speakers of the New York local might be that he is one of the speakers of the most important writers of the world, that he was the most influential man in the world, that they knew him. ing friendly a con a the.

He was interested in the Universal Negro Improvement Association because it is bringing all of the Negroes of the world together; because it was teaching Negroes to do their own thinking and not to depend on others to do it for them. He was proud of the work that the New York local had done in setting the pace for the rest of the world. They had come to the meetings, might after night regardless of whether it seemed or failed, because there is an impelling influence that urged them to go forward and listen to the listening messages relating to the program of a reepeed Africa and the establishment there of a government owned and controlled by Negroes. In conclusion he urged the members to keep up the good work in the Universal Negro Improvement Association was the greatest organization living; nobody in the world can stop it in its onward march of progress; the idea of bringing about a unification of the various tribes in Africa, which idea was being fostered by the association, was the greatest thing in the history of the race and his earnest wish and desire was that the membership in all parts of the world will start solidly behind the organization and aid in the fulfillment of its program. HON..G. E. CARTER SPEAKS Hon. G. E. Carter was the next speaker. The theme of his talk, he said, was "Going a Little Further in Our Teaching, and in Our Living." There are a lot of things, he said, that we want to be taught that are in the Bible. The majority of us believe that some day we are going to stand up before a great white thunder and there is going to be a lamb's book of life, and in this book will be contained all the good and bad things we have ever done; that either deus in the recording angel will lead these and write down the things he had done in this life, good and bad; if bad we would be sent down, to hell and if good we will be sent to heaven. That is the belief of a great majority of us. But the Bible does not set forth the things as that. It plainly sets forth five judgments, and these five judgments in four respects: the place of the judgment, the time of the judgment, the subject of the judgment, and the results of the judgment. We have got to go a little further in our teachings: we have got to be specific in setting forth the principles of the Universal Nero Improvement Association, so that men will be tied to principles, rather than to men. There are too many of us worshippers among the rank and file of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. The principles in the things that are true—the things that are calculated to stand when men have passed off the stage of action and there is one we must understand and know that we have got to teach the doctrines we are sound and that we stand the test of ordinary times. About going a little farther in our living, Mr. Carter said there are many of us who want to have any kind of way down here and, by some hook or crook, get good reward when we die. "You are mistaken," said he. "Just as you have down here, just so you die. If you do something that is good down here you may rest assured that, whether it is on the other plane of activity, you will be given good in return." In addition, he wanted to picture a few footsteps of those who could have gone a little farther, yet they failed. The first footstep he saw was that of an individual who was committed to a principle he loved: he came so well that he was willing to make the supreme sacrifice and to give his life. We see those who are desirous to take his life, and get this man lazy principle so well that he stood and stood his head to brace and said, "Father, crucify them, for they know what they do, good than they do." The hands I am meant my saint, and He did. There the foot step of one who went a little farther. I met me picture the footsteps of one who did not go a little further. It was the footsteps of a man who could have gone a little farther, but he became sick and put up his heart to die deliberately. I am standing now who could have gone a little farther in the pursuit of Negro improvement Association, but businessmen into these years. They stood here unuptured hands and swore to find that they would defend the principles of the Universal Negro Improvement Association with their lives. But when the testing time came, when they weeded and swore to be praised, they went down before the enemy. They prayed themselves to be testifiers who would have gone a little farther; and yet they failed. "But there is another picture; those who did go a little farther. I see the forest as of many individuals who have gone forward, those who stood in the days of slavery and blazed away the path. I see the footsteps of those old black fathers who stood in the days of slavery and blazed the path and made it possible for me to stand here tonight and indulge it possible for this man to come from the islands of the sea to walk through the streets of Harlem, sometimes scorned and derided, sometimes poked fun at; but in spite of that fact, he was committed to a principle. He saw the pleading and the call of his forebears saying to him. Go out and lead my children to the land of redemption." He marched on, as it were, because he thought the cause was worth while. I plead with you to follow in the footsteps of Marcos Garvey until Africa shall be reaffirmed." (Applause.) Hon. Marcus Garvey Speaks Mr. Garvey said that in his remarks tonight (which would be brief) he would define God as we know him: "God," he said, "is the infinite embodiment of all creation." If you can contemplate man from the earliest ages—if you can contemplate the time when there was no world—no sun, no moon, no stars, but all darkness and chaos—and out of it all sprung the great Universal, with moving creatures, then you have an understanding of who is God. If you compute the achievements of man in all ages from the time of Adam up to the present—the genius of man: if you will congregate them all together, whatsoever man has done from the time of Adam to the present again. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JANUARY 5, 1934 me, including your Edison, your Newton, your Socrate, your Plato, your great statesmen and soldiers and artists and spiritual leaders and reformers—if you can contemplate what the smallest and most insignificant individual has done in the world in His creation and the greatest genius has done since creation up to the present moment and bring them all into one—the hundreds of millions and billions of human beings who have functioned in the world with a goal—if you can count them into one, multiply their achievements, then you have God. As great as Edison is, as great as Marcouri is, as great as Newton was, as great as the scientists have been for all time, put their achievements together and you have God. We adhere men; we worship men and honor men and respect angels and revere men because of what they do, because of their singular accomplishments and achievements. When You Have God In the same way, when you put the accomplishments of men together from the time of Adam to the present with what you do in a small way and what the other fellow does in big way—in science, in art and letters and statuesmuth—when you contemplate and put all of them together, then you have God; then you know no one man or no part of man can be as great as God. Whatsoever you do, whatsoever you are but a part of God. And let us compute the whole world of men—the billions of people who have adorned this world—their achievements from Egypt, from Carthage, from Assyria, from Babylon from Greece, down to the present moment, to complete all that they have accomplished and put all together, then you have God. You see there, how far God is because the individual; how far God is because the collective groups of men; how cement and great God is; how wonderful, and because of this great majesty of the God that we know we should not trade with him. How we work and wey how great we are. Compute that weiness and strength and creativeness in millions and billions of people to make God, because each and every one of us is not a part of God. Every soul that comes into the world is part of God, and, compiling the billions of people who have come into the world and the thousands of parts put together make but one God. You see how great and powerful God is. Assuming that the thousands of us here were to hold up to the different parts of the foundation of this building, we will all shake this building down in ten minutes. That is the power of as many of us in here. Now, let us compute that all the people who ever came into the world and are in the world play with all the other things in the world with all the laws and principles and figures and all the strong and powerful God. Just as we see that of you would shake down the Power with the strength and power of God can shake the Power with the strength and power of God. Contemplate God in that way and you will know how powerful He has done to the world and wey the accomplishments of man and God. God in Our lives A. Thought for 1821 So in the New Year this season, you need to understand what it means, although we are our own, and we are also God's keepers. We have two lives; the spiritual, which is Gods, and the physical, which is our own responsibility, and they make up the human existence. The one you are completely master and absolute kind of, and the other you have to care for because it is a part of somebody else—the somebody else is the great God—that spirit that moves in you; that spirit that directs you toward goodness. Let us not, therefore, forget God in the work of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. I could not see my way clear to lead a big movement like this without God. I could not see my way clear to think that I could succeed by being a worshipper of wood or stone or something without life. I could not see where I could get the strength from to work for a great movement like this. And, therefore, in the absence of anything else I see and understand nothing else but God, that great Being who has created all things out of nothing—that great Being who is able to destroy all option about God any more than I should accept your will. The Gods, in that way, can part of the great Ophelia, who could not exist without us. So we are now, in a position to advise people now to choose religion for the next. It does not amount to anything. It is for the sake of the people if you have the ability of great intellect. The Gods are not a single motor ship out of all these countries and now own over twenty motor ships. It also gives the unique foot that during the summer which has been hanging over the ship's raft, not a single motor ship out of all these countries and now held up the time of writing. things even as He created all things; and in the New Year let us not forget God. God is not seen through somebody also, but God is seen through ourselves. You do not want to see God through the eyes of the white man. Do not misunderstand me in that respect. See God through your own eyes. That is the doctrine of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. You are part of God; you are God; all humanity combined make God, and you are as much a part of God as any other being in the world, even as Christ was. Therefore, it is not for us to fear each other because in us is God and beside us there is no other God. Power and Infinity of God Power and Infinity of God I want you to understand that God is a supreme Being who takes in all creation—the whole universe of things. God could not exist without you, because you are part of His creation. The combination of all things in this creation makes God. That is the power He is. He is beyond the strength of any one individual because each and every individual contributes to His strength. He is beyond the power of any one individual because all the individuals contribute to His power and, as a million of us would make a strong, combined whole, so all creation combines to make this one, great, and powerful God; and creation does not only take in our world; creation takes in the whole universe; there are millions of other worlds besides ours, and thus you have the great power and ininity of God. So let us continue to reassure him as the leader of the University Negro Improvement Association during the coming year. I would not take a anybody to deny the existence of a God I would advise people to reject the variety religions, as they are been dished out to us by so many fictions because they really do not mean anything. Somebody came and asked me if it is right for us to become Mohammedans or become anything else. Why become something else? You are a religion in your life. It is not so much Christ, religion, the highest ideal in our concept of religion, it is not so much Nohm, or Hobbit in the rest of them, that what we ourselves think of, each man has a right to be his own opinion. Why should you consider it opinion about God any more than I should accept your views. We Gods, in that we form part of the great Creator, who could not exist without us. So we are not, in a position to obey people now to obey the religion for the next. It does not amount to anything. It is not the only thing we do. We do what we do because of the belief that you have good faith in us. We do what we do because of the belief that God is good into us. We do what we do because of the belief that God is good into us. We do what we do because of the belief that God is good into us. What the U. N. I. A. Teaches God. That is the advice I am giving to the Universal Negro Improvement Association in the United States at this present time. MOTOR SHIPS SAIL ON LONG VOYAGES Are Found to Be More Economical LONDON.—With the termination of the bottermakers' lockout, which caused such depression in the ship-building trade, comes evidence of a revival, especially in the outlook for motor ships. The big shipbuilding firm of Swan, Hunter & Wigham Richardson publish a works magazine called the "Ship-yard," and the current number is devoted largely to this type of vessel. To the shipowner the vital question in ordering new tonnage must always be that of running costs. An article in this point states that the motorship gets a big pull over the steamer, especially on long distance voyages. An average motorship of good tons headweight, including bunker fuel, traps hive and a half box of oil at eleven knots, and almost thirty-one for the steamer. Taking as an example the thirty-day voyage from England to Hokkaido to the Lamma Cabal, the trawer would need to call at Honolulu for such a day, plus the Vaitoa port charges. The mounted platform two and a half tons less per day would be able to accommodate 24 tons more cars. Thus the mounted cars cost two and a half times more cars. It is pointed out that the two cars on the side of the new ship on longer vessels, coming to its proper position of action, with its low bow and mounting the platform on the same car.

Olive wrote a queer condemnation to the story of our treatment of the Indians. We drove them back, back until at last we settled them in what was considered the most God-forsaken area in the country, Indian Territory, deposed and rejected by white men. Then we took away from them the best part of their territory and made it the State of Oklahoma. But fate would not consent to see them wholly robbed. In the remaining Indian Territory one of the richest all fields in the world was discovered. The oil royalties distributed among the Indians have made thousands and thousands of them rich men and women. Two of them now return good for call by outlawing the white man's mission society.

If nations would only try to understand the inevitable differences between themselves, and also to recognize their common humanity, there could be no international jealousies and war. Why will they not develop tolerance? Tolerance is the very keynote of my message. A tolerant world is a world at peace. "It is indeed, high time for a wave of tolerance to sweep away the misery of the world. Color prejudice, class distinctions, sex inequality, are all on the increase. Your education is qualifying your students to become selfish to the best of their ability, to get the best of each other always. Your constant striving after material inventions, in the absence of any higher ideas, has led to such works as have set the world on fire. You are steadily going from bad to worse.

As a matter of fact, the readers of The Negro World are interested in all religious and other questions that bear upon the shaping and regulating, the life of mankind, and this Sufi movement, like the Bahai movement, which has a large number of followers among Negroes in this country, because it promises to give us in our living the good conditions those who dominate the Christian civilization have tailed to give us in fact.

The Universal Negro Impacts to arouse Negro people everywhere a THE Union of South Africa, which is dominated by Jans Christian Smuts, who has gained an international reputation by working in sympathy with President Wilson in shaping the League of Nations, at the Allied Peace Conference, and who enjoys a reputation among the natives and the white union labor people of the Union of South Africa as a brutal tyrant, is having troubles of his own to hold his authority as an outstanding statesman, because he has got the natives, the communists and the organized labor of South Africa thinking and making him guess. There must be a big upheaval in the Union of South Africa when the White Dutch Church deemed it good to hold a conference with the native clergy to find out how to better the relations of the two and the crying needs of the natives, and when the South African Mine Workers' Union have decided to organize for its own protection the native mine workers. Both these outstanding organizations have heretofore treated the natives with contempt and indifference. Something unusual must have aroused them to the importance of giving the natives more consideration: Perhaps this can be found in the intelligence, and persistence with which native churchmen and native civic organizations have labored to better conditions for themselves. We don't get anything anywhere which we do not light for—light for intelligently and insistently. Our esteemed contemporary, the Johannesburg International, the official organ of the Communist party in South Africa, throws a lot of light on the situation in the following editorial, headed, "Poison or Food?" It says: "The 'Financial News' says that 'the cabled statement that the S. A. M. W. U. proposes to recommend the formation of a colored section of their organization was coldly received on the London Stock Exchange. . . . The "boys" as a body would be unable to grasp the situation. If it means an attempt on the part of disgruntled whites to stir up trouble with the management and subvert their authority, which has happily been restored, it will almost inevitably meet with disaster. The proposal to "organize" the natives is in itself a challenge to the management, and one which, we believe, will meet with the treatment it deserves. . . . It is highly improbable that the authorities will sit idly by and allow the mainstay of the Transvaal to be prejudicially affected by the action of a section of its white workers." "These statements, quoted by the 'Rand Daily Mail' itself, ought to convince doubters in the S. A. M. W. U. that 'black trade unionism' is a challenge to the management, calculated to 'subvert their authority which has happily been restored.' The argument is the same as in the case of the 'Times' and 'Mail' screams on the subject (and they, knowing the possibilities better, receive the idea anything but 'coldly'): If the enemy doesn't like a policy, don't get scared by his abuse of it; on the contrary, that abuse is proof that there is something in it. "It is not a question of whether organizing blacks would result in an immediate rise of white wages; it is a question of beating the Chamber of Mines or rather the whole capitalist class, and what is poison to the capitalist class is food to the workers." That is to say, "food for the workers" of South Africa, without regard to race or color. If the churchmen, labor unions and Communists and the natives of the Union of South Africa get together on a program of mutual justice, fair play and helpfulness, there will be less of injustice and wrong and more of good will and helpfulness for all concerned. The main thing is to get the people to thinking, and the Universal Negro Improvement Association is doing that; it has helped those of South Africa to do it; it is helping Negroes in every land to do it. The man who thinks cannot be wronged without his protest; the man who does not think has no protest and accepts wrong as the servile slave accepts his chains. The Universal Negro Improvement Association aims to arouse Negro people everywhere and make them think.

THE NEGRO INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION THE editor of The Negro World has received an interesting letter from Mr. A. S. Connelly, of Washington, enclosing a copy of the bill introduced in the House of Representatives authorizing the creation of a Negro Industrial Commission, to consist of five members, carrying an appropriation of $200,000 for the first year. Mr. Connelly is an intelligent and public spirited white citizen, who has long been interested in Liberia, and who has done what he could to promote the best interests of Liberia and the Liberians. We publish his letter in another column of The Negro World today, under the caption: "Industrial Commission a Futility." It is conceivable that the Foster Negro Industrial Commission might accomplish some good, but we believe it was a mistake to make the industrial feature the basic one of the commission's work. The economic, the labor question, is not the basic question. It is an incidental question, dependent entirely upon the question of citizen or civil rights. As long as the Negroes of the South have no voice in making and enforcing the laws under which they live they will continue to be imposed upon by those who make and enforce the laws. The whole group of civil rights takes precedence of the question of economic or labor rights, and while they remain unsettled, or settled entirely in the interest of the whites by the whites, the labor question will not be settled. The wording of the Foster bill is such, however, that the Foster Commission may have power to go into the political conditions in the South in order to make effective any recommendation it may deem it necessary to make to promote good relations between the races, a term much overworked, and the economic betterment of the Negro people. It may be taken as a finality that until there is a change in the law-making and enforcing power of the Southern States, as long as the Negro citizen has no voice in his government, justice will not prevail, and the Southern States will not be desirable States in which self-respecting Negroes will care to live, and when they do so it will be because they cannot very well get away and better their lot somewhere else. It is this condition of affair which makes the building of an African State for Negroes who want to be free men indeed not only possible but necessary. "YOUR CIVILIZATION QUITE WORTHLESS," SAYS INAYAT IT is a peculiar sign of the times that three of the leading Protestant denominations of the country are just now threatened with disruption over questions of doctrine which have to be accepted by "faith, which is the substance of things unseen," or not accepted at all. The three churches are the Protestant Epistolapal, the Presbyterian and the Baptist churches. One of the questions that appears to disturb them most is what is termed "the virgin birth of Jesus." Another is the physical resurrection of Jesus. The theologians and others who are all worked up on these questions cannot understand them because there is a "veil over their hearts," and because "much learning hath made them mad." It is illuminating to consider the questions from this viewpoint and their bearing upon the life of the average person. While all this controversy about questions of faith is stirring up strife among the wise men of the West, a new prophet has come out of the East who tells us bluntly that our "civilization is quite worthless." He was in New York not so long ago, but now he is in Paris, France. His name is Inayat Khan, Pir-O-Murshid, head of the Sufi Order of the World. In connection with the Khan, and his coming out of India, out of the East, we recall, that Abraham gave the sons he had by Keturah and his concultines "gifts," and sent them "away eastward unto the East country," while his son Isaac yet lived. They established the Buddhist religion, mostly East Indian, the religion of Aaron's rod that budded. Inayat Khan may be a descendant of Abraham and Keturah who got the "gifts," while all else he possessed he gave to Isaac, and he may be a prophet. A prophet is one who is used to prop doctrines, or do other things, which those who use him cannot prop themselves, and who often throw him down hard, as Eli and Samuel and the others were, after they had been used. Inayat believes that Christian civilization is too material and selfish and not sufficiently tolerant, idealistic and brotherly, and that the "ugly barriers between individuals, between groups and families and nations must be broken down." He thinks that a Sufi is everything that a Christian is not, and he reduces our condition to the following absurdity: "The Sufi can feel no jealousy, for he knows that jealousy is the most unreasonable of all vices, preventing him from getting any pleasure out of the society of his fellow men. He shares his happiness with others, and thereby multiplies its good effects. He looks upon every man, no matter how different he may be as his brother, and treats him accordingly. "One motion differs from another, I know. They talk different languages, because their forefathers talked different languages. They wear different clothes, because they live in different climates. They have different ideas and customs. How unreasonable, then, for one nation to regard itself proudly as Africa, which is dominated by Java, has gained an international reputation sympathy with President Wilson at the Allied Peace Conference, and among the natives and the white united South Africa as a brutal tyrant, is hard to hold his authority as an outstanding native, the communists and the social thinking and making him guerrilla in the Union of South Africa which it good to hold a conference with how to better the relations of the two natives, and when the South Africa provided to organize for its own protections with contempt and indifference aroused them to the importance of operation. Perhaps this can be found inence with which native churchmen have labored to better conditions for anything anywhere which we do not and insistently. Our esteemed international, the official organ of the Africa, throws a lot of light on the situation, "Poison or Food"? It says "the cabled statement that the S. A. the formation of a colored section of used on the London Stock Exchange. . . able to grasp the situation.

WHAT WE BELIEVE THE Universal Negro Improvement Association advocates the uniting and blending of all Negroes into one strong healthy race. It is against miscegenation and race suicide. It believes in the purity of the Negro race and the purity of the white race. It is against rich blacks marrying poor whites. It is against rich or poor whites taking advantage of Negro women. It believes in the spiritual Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man. It believes in the social and political physical separation of all people to the extent that they promote their own ideals and civilization, with the privilege of trading and doing business with each other. It believes in the promotion of a strong and powerful Negro nation. It believes in the rights of all men. UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSN. MARCUS GARVEY, President-General January 1, 1924. We do not underestimate the problems of race in the Southern Blocum but we do say that our white fellow-citizens have for fifty years approached them in the wrong way, with denial of justice for all in the matriarch and educating the laws, in distributing the common school funds and in dealings between employer and employee, and there will be no change for the better until more humane and equitable policy is adopted—Norfolk Journal and Guide. The Pittsburgh American takes just pride in observing the change of view regarding the Secretary to President—Mr. Badium Slemp. The American warned early that it would not be well for the Negro press and leaders to prejudge Mr. Slemp. It felt convinced that he would be an admirable and splendid officer, and very likely one of the foremost friends and advocates of larger consideration of the Negro in party affairs. He is doing that. It is good to observe that some of those who denounced the selection with all their might and main are seeing the error of their way. It is never too late to get right. It is profitable to be right in politics. The Pittsburgh American predicts that the Secretary to President Coolidge will yet be one of the brightest stars in the Republican party and keep his eyes, ears and mind wide open in fostering American ideals of citizenship and service.—Pittsburgh American. It is hoped the example of Roland Hayes will find simulation throughout our land and country. As he has labored and conquered, so many others conquer—and even with less impediment he has shown the way upward. There is a peculiar pride in thinking of this accomplished artist in our Ros. WEST INDIAN AND WEST AFRICAN VIEWPOINT They Revise Opinion of Hon. Marcus Garvey and Compare Notes Mrs. Garvey Helps Them (From the Gold Coast Leader) As our readers are aware, the Federal Government of the United States has granted Mr. Marcus Garvey kalland, in the ordinary course, his case will be fully argued before the Appeal Court. It speaks a good deal for the sense of justice of the Federal Government, and we trust Mr. Garvey will be able to establish his innocence. From all accounts, it appears that there was a grave error of judgment on his part, and it has been said that his offence, if any, was a technical one. However we must await the considered judgment of the Appeal Court. Our contemporary, the West Indian, has published a reference to Mrs. Garvey and the opinion of Mr. W. Galway Donovan, the well-known editor of the Federalist and Grenada People, of the real Marcus Garvey, in one of his recent issues, which we publish elsewhere. It is desirable that Africans and the General Public should have a fair and unbiased opinion of this great African leader; and we shall publish in our next issue Mr. Albert Marryshaw's article upon "The Man, his Mission and Methods." Mr. Marryshaw, as our readers are aware, is the brilliant and versatile editor of the West Indian. Mrs. Garvey's Notes Mrs. Amy Jacques Garvey, wife, of Amy. Jacques Garvey, wife, of The whole race owes a debt of patience to James A. Cobb, Eug. who has been fighting, the legal battles of the race almost single handed and alone. Mr. Cobb deposes a large proportion of his time toward the civil rights of the race; in this devotion and disinterested service, he sets a 'noble example for the Negro lawyer, everywhere to follow—Kelly Miller in Baltimore Afro-American. We believe that the sacrifices of the ministry have been overworked entirely, and that a great deal which is downright stupidity is called sacrifice, and we repeat that the great need of today is education—the proper education and consecration of the ministry. With 4,000,000 outside of the church, it seems that the church would educate men to preach—Christian Recorder. As chief executive of the United States, the President can issue an executive order, eliminating all segregation in the federal departments at once, and give the Negro equal opportunity for appointment to clerkships and other positions for which he is fitted. This, Mr. President, would prove far better than words, that you "recognize and protect those rights." The Negro is not getting, nor has he gotten, equal opportunity "in the federal positions since McKinley's administration, when segregation was first introduced here in the departments. May we hope for action, Mr. President?—Washington Tribune. Let us love our race.—Rocky Mount (N. C.) Voice. Marcus Garvey, has sent us from New York a copy of Current History, for September, the influential magazine published by "The New York Times Co." in which there is a contribution written by Marcus Garvey from prison. In that article Garvey gives a sketch of his life and tells the story of why he has come to the point where no sacrifice is too great for him to make on behalf of his race. When a magazine, like Current History can devote seven of its valuable pages to Garvey's defense of his principles, it shows that he is no scoundrel, as some would have his believe. A copy of the magazine was also sent by Mrs. Garvey to Mr. W. G. Donovan, who has read what Garvey has written. Mr. Donovan tells of it in another column of this issue. Mrs. Garvey is known to our Managing Editor. A clever, intellectual little woman, also a Jamaican, she was Miss Amy Jacques when Mr. Marryshow met, her in New York in 1921. Mrs. Garvey has just published a book: a critical study of her husband's writings and speeches, entitled "The Philosophy of Marcus Garvey." Mr. Donovan Revise His Opinion To the Editor of The West Indian- ian Dear Sir and Confrere: Thanks to Mrs. A. J. Garvey of 133 West 123th street, New York, I am made acquainted with the real MARCUS GARVEY. I write his great name in capitals purposely. Hitherto, I knew him only through his detractors. He is carrying on the same work that I have been carrying on. Only this; He is carrying it to its logical conclusion. He is going through the same hell that I have gone through, and I heartily support him. You're fraternally and sincerely, W. GALWEY DONOVAN. Editor "Federalist and Grenada People." It is interesting to note that there is widespread clamor for Race Leadership at this time. There was never a time when we had more people, his male and her female, who imagine themselves leaders and who pledom open their mouths without blurting out the presumptions claim of speaking for "My people." How would you reconcile the two things, if you were not one of those who so magnify themselves at the expense of their officer? The two things are hard to be reconciled. I do not disparage the good intentions of Professor Kelly Miller. He means well. His mental complex is a real puzzle in applied psychology. He imagines he is a leader of the Negro people, and a man ought to be what he imagines himself. In so far as he himself is concerned it may be even so. But undesignated leadership is always a doubtful thing, and, on that account is always treading upon the game ends of brass tacks. Mr. Frederick Douglass and Dr. Booker T. Washington used to be much given to the misleading phrase, "My people," but the people they visualized had never elected either one of them to anything and were hopelessly divided in such loyalty as it gave them. I was in the leading business myself from 1890 to 1907, but I never claimed to represent anybody except myself and those who fell in with my views and joined the organizations I created, and in which it was impossible to do much leading because there was always a superabundant disposition on the part of others to relieve me of the burden, the responsibility, the honor. I went about trying to do good and they went about trying to do all they could to boost themselves and their interests, with the result that the organizations always died in their youth, weighted down with all leaders and no followers. I wanted organizations for the benefit of the race and they wanted organization for the benefit of the individual, with the result that neither they, the race nor I got any benefit out of it, with most of the expenditures falling on me. And that is why I gave up the leadership business and turned in and helped Dr. Washington propagate the industrial educational idea, to the end that the race might have some industrial efficiency to make the money it needs to create organizations to protect its interests without accepting money from white men to shape the organizations to serve them. Dr. Washington got his money for his vast schemes out of white folks, it is true, but his program was not to educate Negroes to serve white folks, but to serve themselves. Professor Miller plans to have a race conference at Chicago in February. He calls it The Sanhedrin. That is Greek to me for practical purposes. And a conference is an unrepresentative body of people who invite themselves to discuss things, persons and the like, and pay for it themselves and bind nobody by what they say and resolve. It is in the nature of a mutual admiration society. Professor Miller expects his conference to be a howling success, and I certainly hope it will be. But, unless it perfects, an organization and gets busy perfecting local organizations to give it strength and the needed financial backing, the end of it will be nothing. One of the things that drew me to Marcus Garvey was just this one, that he had a parent organization and local organizations to support it which conducted their business by regularly designated delegates to designate them to do it. And that is what the Universal Negro Improvement Association has grown to be—an international organization created by the organizing genius of Marcus Garvey and supported by loyal members in the locals, receiving no money and no dictation from white people, because the business of black folks is not the business of white folks, and if black folks want their business and have it do business for them they must create it and support it. The Sanhedrin will have to do that or die when it is born. And as for the clamor for a leader of the race, it is all waste of breath. When we are ready for the leader, if we ever get ready, he will appear among us fully equipped as from the head (From the Evening Bulletin, Philadelphia) France, in planning for her future is being more and more turned toward the exploitation of the great empire she has acquired in Africa. In its man power she seeks compensation for the losses caused by a low birth rate at home, while from its natural resources she hopes to draw great stocks of raw material which will make her largely independent of this country and Great Britain. In particular she has an ambitious project for the development of the great cotton-growing area in the Niger region. In thus seeking to free herself from dependence on this country for cotton she is but following the example of Great Britain, which has already a large acreage under cultivation in Africa. Australia also has ambitious plans for cotton production. There is an unmistakable threat to American cotton interests in these projects, which will receive increasing attention in this country if their development in any way corresponds to the hopes of the promoters. To further her plans France is pursuing a great railroad building program in Africa. There has just been completed a railway linking the Atlantic port of Dakar with the upper valley of the Niger, and the government is preparing for the start of a line directly across the Sahara, connecting equatorial Africa with the Mediterranean ocean at Oran in Algeria. The military significance of this trans-Saharan line is evidenced by the fact that the plans, drawn up by the Ministry of Public Works, have the backing of the War Council and the Supreme Council of National Defense. The present Algerian Line runs from Oran to Bechar, on the edge of the desert, where the new line will continue for a distance of more than 1,500 miles through Abber, Agdrah, Ouallen, Tesaallit and Bourrem to Ousagadougou, south of the Niger, where it makes junction with existing lines in that region. It is pointed out in the British press that the completion of the line will enable France in a future great war to tap resources of native than power, of which little use was made in the World War. In that war the French African continent were largely non-Negro troops from Algeria and Tunis and blacks from Senegal. The new line will permit of easy transportation to the Mediterranean coast and to Europe native levies from the Gold Coast, Dahoei and Guiana, and its terminus will not be far from the mandated territory of Togoland. The construction of the trans-Saharan line will take seven years. That will be speedy work compared with the nearly forty which it has taken to link the West African coast with the upper reaches of the Niger through the completion of the Thiex-Kayes section which runs for 415 miles through the richest agricultural section of the val- SPECIAL OFFER Handsome Guaranteed Watch $4.95 Newly made or open from Grosse Pointe & tuffon store 09 JULY 1957 All adverts are special discounts, and will take this discount service and Cure at Grosse Pointe or at Grosse Pointe at any time or at any age or at any time.

The construction of the line from Dakar eastward was started in 1886, but the work lagged for various reasons until it was taken up with renewed zeal after the war and pushed to completion. The latest section shows a net cost, due to difficulties with labor and material, of 157,104 francs a kilometer (about five-eighths of a mile). This Niger river zone which received new deposits of rich soil from the annual overflows of the stream is regarded as wonderfully adapted to cotton civilization. In which little so far has been accomplished in the French Soudan. The normal production has not amounted to more than 2,500 tons annually, and so much of the crop has been left unpicked or badly handled in picking and transportation that the net exportable product has been only some 700 tons. All the French colonies together produce only some 2,500 tons of cotton, whereas the normal peace time requirement of the country is almost 3,000,000. The war gave a great impetus to the interest in developing the resources of the French Empire in a way to make France economically independent, as far as possible, of the rest of the world. It is the counterpart of the British school which seeks to make the empire materially self-sufficient, although France is not forced, like Britain, to reckon with self-governing Dominions but can enforce whatever policy she chooses on her dependent colonials. Chief of the imperial school at present is M. Albert Sarraut, Minister of Colonies, known to Americans as one of the French delegates to the Washington Conference. Discussing this question of French cotton production, he says: "We must establish the closest cooperation in the empire of 100,000,000 souls under our control, which has all the necessities of life ready at a minimum expenditure. It may mean heavier colonial budgets for a few years, but we have already two frances of income for every franc spent in developing our possessions." France has no doubt that cotton of superior quality can be produced in the Soudan. Specimens are asserted to be inferior in fineness and silkiness of texture only to Japanese silk. Savants are already suggesting that some of the royal robes and slippers found in Egypt's Valley of the Kings may have been apun down from Soudan's notion rather than from Indian silk, as had been conjectured. The greatest obstacle to mass production is the unwillingness of the native labor to work with the necessary energy. Britain has had fair success with cotton production in Africa, producing 100,000 bales in tropical Africa, an equal amount in Nassaualand, and 120,000 bales in Canada. In comment on this showing General Hoe, of the French Niger Cotton Commission, says: "With the exception of certain specially favored elitic areas, the great intensification of British African cotton production is the result of a legislation and administration of constraint which we will never allow to be established in the French colonies." France hopes, without estriment labor laws, within a decade or fifteen years to be able to speed cotton production to the point when it will begin fairly to cover the French demand. In addition to cotton, the new rail line is expected to bring to Dakar for export vast stocks of resins, cereals, sweet potatoes, corn and tobacco grown in the Niger zone. Economists are already figuring savings amounting to billions of francs in the future national economy due to colonial developments. Australia's program of cotton development is being promoted with great zeal by Stanley Bruce, the Dominion's business man Premier, who, after the recent Imperial Conference, promised the Lancashire cotton consumers on a visit to Liverpool that Australian cotton would soon become a feature in the cotton's supply. From 7,000 acres under cultivation last year Australia has advanced to 150,000, and an annual production of a million bales is forecast for the near future.

COLLEEN MOORE STARRED IN "THE SWAMP ANGEL" Anna Q. Nilsson and Other Stars Seen in Her Support Production has been finished on "The Swamp Angel," a First National picture, featuring Colleen Moore, and giving prominence to a supporting cast of "big names." Written by Richard Connell and read by thousands as a magazine serial, the story was directed by Clarence Bidg r and is scheduled for January release. Anna Q. Nisson, Mary Carr, Mary Alden, Russell Simpson, Ben Lyon, Charlie Murray, Charlotte Merriam, Sam DeRiassse, Joseph Striker, June Elvidge and Bull Montana have outstanding roles in support of Miss Moore. Blending humor with pathos and stimulating with unexpected moments of drama, the story offers Colleen Moore an outlet for her versatility. She is seen first as "Fille Borne" a hoyden little beauty of the swamps, the poor section of a drab little middle-Western town. She is the star catcher of "The Swamp Angels," a baseball team, delivers wash for her good-will mother, expects to grow up and marry a glass-blower with an income of $40 a week and smiles bravely at life as she sees it.

T. was present and suggested that mattresses would be helped if the managers raised their curtains at 2.15 instead of 2.30 o'clock, thus after the shows were over the theatre crowds would reach the subways at 5 to 15 minutes after 6. The suggestion met with favorable consideration and may be adopted. Joseph Klaw was appointed to head a committee to make a report on the traffic situation, which will be submitted to the managers at another meeting. The Theatre Guild has been Invited by the Theatre des Champs Elysees to present in Paris next year three or more of their most interesting productions of the past six seasons in repertory. M. Herbertet, the manager of the Champs Elysees, is interested in bringing guest organizations from all over the world to play at his theatre. He has already presented there the Moscow Art Theatre and the Swedish Ballet. The Theatre Guild would be the first from America if the invitation should be accepted. Great interest in the prospect has been shown by the American colony in Paris and a committee has already been organized under the chairmanship of James K. Hackett, who was decorated by the French government for his performance of "Macbeth." If the Guild accepts this invitation it will probably play also in London under a leading British management. A Merigold, Miss., Marriage Ceremony The Negro World takes pleasure in announcing the marriage of Mr. T. R. Dobbins and Miss Guslee T.

After the ceremony a solo was performed by Mrs. A. E. Greensherry which was appropriate for the occasion. The pups were inked into the dumbo ball and enjoyed a supper that was composed of all the good things the heart could wish for.

Diva Nicoleine began singing her alrm evening song, and responding, as is my custom, I filled my pipe with a view to seeking the smoker. As I approached, the racial sixth sense that in these degenerated days of race problems grown in acuteness, told me that the bed time subject wag the ubiquitous Negro. The porter emerged from the smoking apartment with a satisfied smile on his face that indicated an unusual tip or something its equivalent in pleasure rendering attributes. Surely the porter had heard something pleasant. For he was humming the "Banana" classic like no wave of trouble crossed his peaceful breast. In the smoker a typical group of travelers gathered under the tobacco cloud—a minister, two lawyers, and two commercial businessmen. One of them, evidently a prosperous trade scout, was taking his turn at the skim of the discussion. "You are right," he was saying, addressing himself to the minister, "if heaven is to be populated entirely by white people, the housing situation will not be as perplexing as it is in Detroit; and, I imagine, if it is otherwise, segregation will hardly comply with the brotherhood of man. "But there is another alant that I have been brought to observe in a costly manner. The Negro is beginning to assert himself in a financial and a commercial way until he demands consideration. I have just returned from Brazil. My company sent me down to dicker with some parties in Rio de Janeiro, who are in the market for 100,000 tons of cement. I met the engineers and managers, gave them $10,000 worth of entertainment in banquets, theatre parties and other favors, and was getting along swimmingly." "One night after I had permitted the chief engineer to show me three deuces after he had apparently bluffed my three tens, and saw him rake in about $800 of the company's money in one pot, I toppled my hotel and he whispered to me that my bid f. o. b at Philadelphia would be accepted if I reduced it to $50,000, which would bring my firm just below the lowest London offer. I cabled my sales chief and he shot back the tense answer: 'Take him.' ```markdown ``` "Well, sir, from that minute business picked up, I took the engineer and his friends on a fishing excursion—gone two days—servants, liquor and everything. One trip cost me (consulting his account) $1,268.53. The engineer told me that it only remained for the president of his company to return from Europe took the specifications and I would get the contract. Consequently I was walking on the clouds. "Finally the president came and the engineer made an engagement for me. I went up to the offices in a modern building and, after waiting a while, was ushered into the private room of the president of the construction company. I saw a portly-looking colored man seated at a large mahogany table. My first and fatal impression was that he was a servant. He was so dark, so very dark, that a 1,000-odd-power inandescent would not light his features. I had learned in my zeal for the contract to be polite to everybody; so, I was polite to him in a general American way. "Good morning, George." I said in accosting him, "nice day, ain't it? Take this five dollars and be careful, George, you black rascall! Don't you buy no automobile! Is Senor Jonnell, the president, in?"

EMARKABLE PROSPERITY OF KANSAS COLORED FARMERS WASHINGTON.—A typical case of progress being made by colored farmers in Western States is found in Kansas in what is known as the "Hutchinson District." In this district, which compries several counties in the southwestern part of the State, the 172 pioneer colored farmers who have found their way from the South to this agricultural eldorado, operate approximately 41,000 acres, or enough land. If placed acre to acre, to make a strip one mile wide and 64 miles long. Of these 172 farmers 116, or 67 per cent, are owners, or, in other words, there are as many owners among the small group of Kansas farmers as there are among the 5,461 colored farmers in Lefforth County. Miss. But Kansas is an attractive State, especially for colored men who know how to farm, as is indicated by the fact that out of a total of 1,135 colored farmers in the entire State, who operate about 177,000 acres valued, with buildings, at nearly $10,000,000, about 710, or 62 per cent, of them, are owners. In only four other States having 500 or more colored farmers is the percentage of ownership higher, and these are, in the order named, West Virginia, Michigan, Ohio and Virginia. Concerning the value of the farm produce raised in the "Hutchinson District" last year, the Hutchinson News says: "The produce raised last year was that particular district had a value equal to twelve times as much as all the gold produced in Alaska last year; eight times as much as all the gold and silver mined in Colorado; it was $24,000,000 more than all the copper produced in Arizona; nearly twice the value of all the iron ore mined in Michigan; nearly three times as much as all the coal mined in Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma combined; three times the value of all the granite quarried in New England, and four times the value of all the petroleum produced in Pennsylvania last year. It is fortunate for those colored pioneers that they located in such a prosperous part of the country where law and order obtain, and where their success depends wholly upon their individual efforts. If more of our men who know how to farm and who really prefer an agricultural to an industrial life, would be directed to the farming opportunities in such States as West Virginia, Michigan, Wisconsin, Kansas and Washington, their lives would be much happier and they would doubtless be of more service to their race and country than as residents of ghetto districts in highly organized industrial centers where the competition is too keen to permit of material advancement for men of their training. Henry Ford Employs Five Thousand Negroes DETROIT, Mich., Dec. 23—The Negro population of Detroit practically remained at a standstill for thirty or forty years. In 1910 the total colored population was less than 5,000; today it is 12 times that. Prior to 1910 the Negroes of Detroit were employed chiefly as posters, waiters and domestics. Today there are no less than 500 industries employing colored men. They can be found in every grade of work from the crudest to the most highly skilled labor. The Ford Motor Car Company is the largest employer of Negro labor; out of a total of 110 employees in the Ford industries in Detroit, approximately 5,000 are Negroes. The Dodge Brothers Motor Car Company is the second largest employer of Negro labor; out of 15,000 men, 1,400 are colored. The Packard Motor Car Company comes third with 700 colored men in their employ. "The "Economist" "Gee, but rubber heels are becoming popular. I remember the time when everyone wore hard leather heels," said the porter, as he polished up a handbone part of tans, belonging to a gent who had apparently foresaken the smoker for an early helium. "Steams to me like everything is changing anyway nowadays," I continued, as he whipped the polishing cloth across the tip, for the host time. "What's the matter? You're not a persimmon, are you?" I inquired. "You surely ought not to be, from all I can understand. I'm told that there are more people traveling now than ever before," which means more quarters and halves for you—an improvement over old times, you'll admit, just like the rubber heels are an improvement over the leather ones." I argued. "Sounds all right, but it don't work out that way," the porter continued, as he set the highly-polished tans on the floor. "You see, it's like this," he went on, in an attitude which seemed to invite a debate: "I've been running on a sleeper for over fifteen years, and I'm tired of it—dead tired of traveling: don't suppose I ought to complain, for when that's a man's profession, there isn't anything he can do about it. But 10 or 15 years ago, a fellow was always sure of his two-bits, and he didn't have to do much for it. And during the war, of course, a porter could get half a dollar from every other passenger; but now, the most of 'em figure two-bits flat, and they want everything you've got in the shop for it, believe me. You see, the rialroad and the Pullman Company split up the fare nowadays and it's pretty high, as you know," the porter concluded. "I don't think it's so high, considering the service." I briskly stared.

"Service! Service! That's just what ruins my tips," the porter fired out, sarcastically. "Take last night, for instance. Had a man with a toothache. He began ringing the bells just after we left Columbus, and, believe me, he kept me on the jump all night long. I got him hot water, and at Pittsburgh I even went to the drug store and tried to get him some other dope. The druggist wouldn't give it to me without a prescription, and I happened to know a doctor nearby, who did me the favor to write the 'scrip.' This morning when I brushed off the gent, he handed me a quarter, saying—Thank you, George—hope I didn't impose in you last night. That's the way they run nowadays," he complained, glomity. "Just like the rubber heels, they are in 'full style.' "No, no. I insisted: 'you're just a possistm, that's all. You don't even appreciate the extra coin you will make from polishing those shoes,' I added with a good bit of feeling. "Hm! Got to be shown," the porter replied, lacoonically. Just then the bell rang, the indicator registering upper, one. "Ther 's that dude now," remarked the porter, and before he could say more, a stylishly dressed gentleman entered the smoker at a rapid gait. He was fully clothed, excepting shoes, and a neat gray hat and overcoat adorned his head and arm, respectively. "Are my shoes ready, George?" he asked, politely. The porter replied by handing him the sandy tans, which he deftly put on as the whistle blew for the next stop. "Brush me off, George--I'm getting off now," he said in a persuading tone, as he jingled some coins in his pocket. "Thank you, George--Good Night!" said the pleasant gent, as he slipped a quarter into the porter's hand and alighted on the station platform. "You see, there," excitedly blurred the porter. "There's a sample of em. There's a guy who's aweated in his boss for a birth and a two-bit tip, just to save him from a ten-cent shine. Don't tell me times have changed." Same Thing Done Twice By J.

SPECIAL PRICES TO DRUGGISTS AND AGENTS WEEKLY SERMON BY G. EMONEI CARTER Text—Matt. 2d Chapter, 2d Verse "Following the Star" The average person, if asked how many wise men journeyed to the East to worship the Christchild, would answer. Three. And why? Not because we have read, recorded anywhere in the Bible, that they were Three; but because we have heard it preached Three men and, in some instances we have three names given to them. But the truth of the matter is this, no one knows how many they were and we care less about knowing; but that which does interest us is, that some wise men, sages, seers, magicians or what-nots, saw a star on the horizon of the cast, knew it to be a sign of a great life and went to worship this king. It is also of little import whether this was a specially prepared star or one of the regular follows, commissioned to do this honor, in guilding these men. But we are concerned that some significant stellar attraction heralded his advent. These wise men saw a new star on the old horizon and followed in its wake, until it stood over the manger of the Christ; then entered in the manger, behold the babe and offered their gifts in worship to him. The gifts were of three kinds, gold, frankincense and myrrh. Let us briefly study their coming and the nature of their gifts. 1. When we are expectant of a great good—we can always observe the sign. 2. When we follow the true sign it leads to realization. 3. We bring our gifts—to show our loyalty. 4. Each gift has a significant bearing. These were men were exporting the Messiah. They were hopeful, because out of thefulness of their individual experiences, they longed and signed for relief. They whined the promised succor from a world of fils. They felt and knew the relief, however brief it may be, would be an improvement on their worst condition. Hence all eyes were turned to the East. For it is here that light first breaks. It is here that man has had some of his greatest achievements realized. It is here that we had with delight the coming of the sun as well as the advent of the Sun of lightness. But the wise men now our star! Have we seen our star? Let me come at closer. It is each of us whose our star to rise on our little horizon! If you are in the expedition mood, it will appear. When it does appear will you follow it? It can but lead you to the goal of success. If your mind is single your vision clear, your determination set and your eyes riveted upon the light of the way. I do not know what your star may harbor the compass of, but I do know that if your star belongs you to the christ-child birthplace of will be shining in the right direction and guidance you into path of the light. I do not know if your star appeared in woe hours of the night or just at twilight; but one thing I can contain of that some time and gone when the course of your existence it will Fail to Grow Hair Hair Root Hair Grower Is a scientific vegetable compound of hair root and hair together with several other positive herbs, there- fore making the most powerful harm- less Hair Grower known, actually forcing hair to grow in most obli- cate cases.

Let me plead with you to behold your star. Every real man and woman of color has seen his Star in the East and his soul-urge is swiping him forward to behold its findings. Rest not in the vale of doubt, uncertainty and in a strange land, where e'en the songs sung, have the paths of a longing soul, where the prayers sent up are instruments of begging, rather than petitions of thanksgiving and praise. But strive on, going farther and farther, until one day we shall stand, glorified in our home-land—Africa! There we shall bring our gifts and worship. We shall here attest our loyalty to those we have come to greet and the great mother of our forbears, shall see and understand the spirit of our worship. Loyalty for a cause cannot be evidenced in periods of going well, but it bespeaks itself when adversity stamps its seal and nagging tongues wag in vitroline spleen. Loyalty is written on the faces of those whose star has led them through the maelstrom of seeming defeat, imprisonment and even death, while every effort was being made to obscure your vision, to blind your sight of the guiding light, and to force you into remaining indolent while all around you the light is shining and your star has appeared. Loyalty calls you through your star. Can you resist the call? Answer with your gifts. They brought gold—a precious treasure. It represents your best. It is the one gift that is always acceptable. Men in all walks of life are concerned about gifts of gold. To many it has brought real joy, to others it has brought destruction. It is not the gold that has married our lives, but our love of it, which has pushed us to seek it in forbidden fields and without the light of our star. But these men gave their best to the object of their adoration. Find the Christ of your being. Give him your best. It matters not whether it is in the realm of physical activity, spiritual wandering or mental contemplations. Give your best to yourself, your fellowmen, your race, your nation. If you serve man well and acceptably, you honor God and give the Christ whose advent these wise men came to worship. They brought frankinense—a precious fragrant oment—signifying their estimate of his worth, as well as implying the separation that would be made when he had given his life in service for the cause he came to espouse. Let us emulate this form of gift through our sacrifice. We have made many, but we have prepared for yet more. As long as our star hover over the object of our dreams, let us sacrifice, let us offer our frankinense. Our sweet love will lend us encouragement as well as enhance our environment.

The New York Recording Laboratories 52 Paramount Building Port Washington, Wisconsin grips the hearts of honest men and women, who long and sigh for freedom, which comes only in fully-knowing the truth. Every great truth has had its many sacrifices. They have come from all directions to make their sacrifices in belting the world with truths, scientific, sacred, physical, mental, and still these remains room for many others. The cause needs your sacrifices and your quest for the goal is well directed. But they brought myrrh—a gift to remind us even in the midst of life's wildest activities there must come a halt and we pass into another plane of activity. Myrrh was always used in preparing the dead. How thoughtful these men—their best in life, their all through, sacrifices, and their willingness to be of service even when death heaves in view. Let us, then, dwell not in plance of death, but be reminded that our star if followed a-right will lead us to a death that will be welcomed. It will lead us to that plane where joy and contentment come because our lives have been objects of real worship. Death is not a dreaded monster to those who serve well each day, in the spirit of Him who came to bring good tidings and great joy to a world that needed his cheer. Death is but the gateway to new delights, when our star has led us through vales of sorrows to heights of joy, rarefied in deeds of mercy. Death leans its charms to those who struggle for a cause and cease to labor only when all is spent by way of physical fitness, that the cause may go on. Let us worship the King. Bring our best gifts, with our many sacrifices, that even in death's hour we may serve Him and his cause. As we serve Him let us realize that He came to serve all mankind; therefore let us serve Him by serving man LET LITTLE TRAVELERS IN Little travelers Zionward.

Hall, brightness of Ethiopia's glad morning. Long by the prophets so bravely foretold; Joy to the millions from bondage returning; Gentiles, even Jews, the great vision behold. So in Africa's desert rich flowers are springing; Streams so copious are gliding along. Loud from the high mountains sounds are ringing! Wastes rise in verdure and mingle in song. See! from the lands and the Isles of the Ocean. Thanks to our Saviour ascending on high; Fallen will be the great implements of war and commotion. Shouts of Salvation will be rending the sky. Joy to the brightness of Ethiopia's morning; Joy must be in lands that in darkness have lain; Hushed be accents of sorrow and mourning; Ethiopia in triumph has begun her mild reign. —In his annual report to the President, just made public, Postmaster-General New cities a most gratifying decrease in the postal deficit amounting to approximately $30,000,000 from the previous year's deficit, all of which is welcome news to the taxpayers.

Carpenter, Treasurer, Succumbs After Brief Illness—Was Master Mind of the Division By W. A. U. DEANE The deceased, Edward L. Carpenter, was born on the Island of Jamaica, Parish of Manchester, February 15, 1880. He was the son of John Carpenter, and a member of a well-known, highly respected and cultured family. His relatives owned extensive properties in the parish of Manchester and were the owners of part of that well-known picturesquely entrancing scenic range of mountains historically and commonly known to all visitors to the island as the Carpenter mountains. The deceased, after receiving his early training and coming into manhood, felt the impelling force, like most ambitious young men eager for knowledge, experience and the pursuits of "life, liberty and happiness." Thus he decided to leave his home and relatives and to launch out into the world to procure a livelihood gain experience and modify his life's career. After carefully surveying the conditions at home and analyzing the prospects of opportunities abroad, he finally decided to leave for the United States of America. The deceased arrived In San Francisco in the summer of 1902. He was at once confronted with the big problem so common to all young men who happen to be "strangers in a strange land"—namely, the battle for "bread, butter and position." Being fully cognizant of the fact that he was now in the "land of the free and the home of the brave," and with his feet now on terra firma, he ventured out to seek the things that sustain life. Gets Minor Position He soon succeeded in getting a minor position, which helped him along for awhile, but was soon placed in a better and more suitable position, in the large firm of McBayno & Pryer, where he served with credit, honor and distinction for eleven years. On being offered a better position with the Southern Pacific Railroad Company, he resigned his former position and was employed by the latter company, serving in the trade and treasury department for eight years with great credit, faithfulness and honor to the company and himself. The deceased was still in the service of the company at the time of his death. Unlike most of the young men of his age and time, the deceased did not shirk his duties and responsibilities devolving upon him. He was zealously active in all race and religious affairs which tended to the good and general uplift of his race in the community in which he lived. But his acts of service were not only confined to his race, but to the good of humanity. His manliness minded spirit, tenderness of heart and hospitality of nature could not allow him to continue his service to his race alone, but extended it for the benefit of all mankind. The deceased was more than a servant of his race and of humanity; he was also a servant of God. He did not forget the fountain of all goods gifts, nor did he forget to worship the giver of life and spiritual wisdom. He early became a member of Biblical A. M. E. Church and devoted himself to the work and service of the master, serving faithfully, honestly, trustfully and sincerely with that earnestness of purpose and steadfastness of character ```markdown ``` "YOUR FORTUNE TOLD BY STARS" By Charlotte Walker, $1.50 Myrtle Foster Teller and Dream Reader, 11 Hintu Occult Mage, See Hunting, 11 Black Art Secreture, 11 Colibury Dream Book Media Occultum, 11 Dream Book Media Occultum, Advanced Thought, Astronomy Palmistry, Crystal Gaining, etc., Send Guest, Guaranteed anywhere PARK PUB Park Row Bldg, New York, Dept.

He held the office of trustee for many years, with great honor, efficiency and credit. His able business-trained mind and efficient ability won for him the love and regard of all his fellow-workers. Vision of a United Race Edward L. Carpenter was not only a man, possessed with super-abundant faith in "himself," in his "race," and his "God," but he was also blessed with the gift of vision. He saw ahead in the dark and dim future a glorious vision of a new wow, scattered, oppressed and defenseless people, coming together in a strong, mighty, united Negro race. And behind that mighty united Negro race he saw the rising of a great super government, in the world's political sun Yea, a powerful united African commonwealth, "founded of Negroes, by Negroes, and for Negroes" on the Continent of Africa. It was this soul-absorbing vision that the deceased saw, and, having heard the clarion call of that inspired servant of God, that incomparable champion of Negro liberty, the Hon. Marcus Garvey, whose mission God had prepared, whose life He had dedicated, and whose task is to redemote his fatherland, liberate his oppressed brothers and emancipate his race. R was this ringing appeal for men that brought Edward L. Carpenter to the force. And he of once set to work, assisting to organize the San Francisco Division 14 of the U. N. L. A. & A. C. L, and it was not very long before his great efforts held fruit. For on Oct. 29, 1920, the Executive Council of the Parent Body in New York granted a charter to the Negro people of San Francisco, California. The ushering in of this new ideal new faith, new hope and new life among the people brought also new responsibilities, new duties and a new program upon the shoulders of those who advocated its coming. The people who had been so long slumbering, were now being awakened to the sense of "racial consciousness"; they got up opened their eyes cleared their ears and set their minds to thinking. The inspiring power of this new doctrine, the startling truths it gave, the loftiness of its ideal, the grand, noble principles entailed, were clearly, forcefully and ably set forth by these exponents of the cause. The portrayal of the glorious vision of a downrodden, oppressed race freed and united into one universal brotherhood with "One God! One Aim! One Destiny!" was gust- stirring good news indeed. It brought sight to the dimly blind, gave hearing to the deaf, received the drooping spirit and made the lame leap for joy. The deceased, who had been foremost in pre- killing the great cause, was now our cherished father and sponsor of this noble, great movement which was now taking hold of the minds of the people. And thus his life's greatest work was begun. Qualification for the Great Task He was especially qualified in matters of business and finance, coupled with his knowledge of "men, measures and world affairs." He was soon made a trustee, and it was not long before his constructive ideas, trained mind and executive ability brought him to the position of chairman of the trustees board. Here he instituted new and advanced methods, advocated progressive reforms and strongly advised a modern, efficient business system of financing. After one year of faithful, honest, sincere and reliable service, he was unanimously elected treasurer of the Sun Francisco Division. As treasurer of the division he deceased was curculpiously and unquestionably honest in all his dealings and transactions. He was the master mind of the division. It was due to him business principles and perception that a "building fund" was started in the division for the securing of a building. One of his Noblest Deeds The deceased was interested in every auxiliary and branch of the organization's work. He was an honorary member of the Black Cross Society and was very much interested in the work of the Universal African Legions. One of his noblest deeds was done just three months prior to his death. It was the case of the recent Japanese disaster which occurred during September last with such terrible destruction to the Island Empire and its THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JANUARY 8, 1984 people. The deceased, on learning of the sad catastrophe, at once began soliciting funds on behalf of the Black Cross Society to help the sufferers in the stricken area. He succeeded in collecting nearly thirty dollars from the employees of his department, the nurses of the Black Cross Society and the members of the U. N. I. A. This amount was cabled to the Imperial Japanese Government at Tokyo, with a resolution of condolence from the San Francisco Division 148, on behalf of the membership and the Negro poepoes of the world. Thus the deceased not only believed in the doctrines of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, of a universal brotherhood of man and a Fatherhood of God, but actually put into execution the principles, objects and aims of the doctrine he advocated. A Humanitarian at Heart. This most worthy and noble deed of the deceased, which was done by his own initiative, conceived by his own mind, and executed by his own persistence and determined efforts, stamps him as a humanitarian at heart and as a man whose highest alm, ambition and desire was to serve his fellow men, yet, more, to serve human kind to be a friend to man. Throughout the deceased's whole life his soul was obsessed with the predominating desire for service. And his entire life to its fullest extent was the highest expression of that grand objective, than which mankind can reach no further. The deceased was only permitted to carry out this last noble act, for within two months later he was struck with an attack of bronchial trouble, and despite all the shall of medical science and the careful, decorated attention of a faithful, loving wife, he succumbed on December 4 after being ill only a month and a half. Our Deepest Condolence The deceased leaves behind a loving faithful and devoted widow, who was most tender, dutiful and affectionate to him during his lifetime and was for over sixteen years his life companion. She is a daughter of one of the most cultured and respected families of Northern California and was previous to her marriage, Miss Elisa Lee. The deceased also leaves a sister in New York and relatives in Jamaica. To the sadly persecuted widow and relatives we join in tendering our heartfelt, deepest sympathy for the incapable loss you and we also have sustained by the death of our dear beloved brother, friend and co-worker. The Funeral Funeral services were held at Tethel A. M. E. Church over the remains of our beloved and loyal treasurer, Mr E. L. Carpenter. The body was placed in a casket, which was draped with the American and U. N. L. A. flags and the entire membership turned out to do homage to his remains The Rev. Ryres of the A. M. E. Zion church, Rev. Allen of the Third Baptist and the Rev. Cooper of Tethel A. M. E. Allison in slowing terms of Mr. Carpenter's faithfulness to his duty, and his character as a member of the community. CAMAGUEY DIVISION, CUBA --- Camagney division held an open air meeting on December 8, at 4:30 p.m. before a large and enthusiastic gathering of members and friends of the local. The meeting was opened by the chaplain, Mr. C. D. Austin, the congregation joining heartily in the hymn. Mr. Austin then delivered an comment address, taking his text from Joel 11, 25 and 29. Mrs. Burrows, our first lady-vice-president, gave a very spirited address on the value of unity. The next speaker of the evening was the treasurer, Mr. François, who also spoke on unity, and as the hour was already late, the remarks of the president were very brief but to the point. The meeting was brought to a close with the paming of the anthem. The large gathering demonstrated by their unidividual attention, which they gave to the treasurer, that they were hungry for the teachings of Gurvayism and anxiously inquired when we intended to return. At 7 p.m. we moved on to the Club Colon, which we made use of, as our hall was under repair. We spent a wonderful time at the club. Special mention must be made of the president of the club, who proceeded with the members to make their forces and by presenting a common front to the enemy we would be able to overcome all opposition. Another well spent evening was brought to a close with the slaging of the national anthem. REPORTER. MHSWAUKEE. WISCONSIN Milwaukee division spent a great day on Sunday, December 8, when we had with us Capt. E. L. Gaines, Minister of Legions, and the Hon. W. Wallace, Commissioner of the State. The program for the evening was arranged by the late president, who worked hard to make the evening a success. The meeting was presided over by the president, Mr. Hale. After the opening of the opening ode, a duet was rendered by Mimes. McKenon and Riley, followed by an excellent selection by the choir. Short addresses were given by Messrs. Nolah, vice-president of the Chicago division, No. 315; Clarke, Love and others, which fired the audience with the desire to go onward and upward to a free and redeem. African, Captain Gaines was the speaker of the evening and delivered one of his fiery and brilliant addresses which are so well appreciated by the members of the association. He received thunderous and continuous applause for his inspiring words. The meeting was brought to a close with the gifting of the Ethiopian anthem. On Tuesday night, December 19, we had an election at which Brother P. A. Barrow, who was formerly our secretary, was again elected. Brother Wallace Mottley, who was assistant secretary under Mr. Barrow, was also re-elected to his former position; while Brother Seymour Brewster, who acted at one time in the capacity of assistant secretary, was given the office of reporter of the division; the other officers remaining as, formerly, Theo three officers were in office at the time when the Sydney division was at its zen'th, and when we were pronounced as ranging above sixth in the divisional order of the U. N. I. A. Since their departure things have not been as they should, this they have observed, and have therefore returned to office with the same old spirit. Their slogan is, "Watch Sydney Grow." We regret to announce the death of one of our most faithful members, Brother Cameron Perry, who departed this life on November 30. He was in the pride and flower of his life when death overtook him, being only in his twelfth year. It is an undeniable fact that of those who have done any real service to this division, Brother Perry stood out prominently above them all. He was janitor for the division for nearly two years, and has never once failed in his duty, neither has there been cause for complaint against him, not even once; he seldom ever got any pay, but this meant nothing to him; he was always to be found at his post. The largest number of copies of The Negro World ever sold was when he acted as agent. Persons who had never before read them, did so then. He gave his entire time to the selling of the paper, tramping through every kind of weather carrying the good news of the gospel of the U. N. L. A., to nearly every Negro home in our community. As an acknowledgement of his faithful service he was given an elaborate funeral, the first of it: kind even witnessed among the Negroes of Sydney. His remains were taken from the undertaker's parlor to the U. N. L. A. hall, where it lay till the time of burial. The U. N. L. A. choir was in attendance, also the brass, band of their division, which acted in this capacity for the first time. The Rev. T. A. Kennedy, of the A. M. E. Church, in Sydney affiliated. We also have 14 announce the absence for a few weeks of Sister, Esther the Sentebury, the watch-dog of our division, who is spending the Christmas holidays with her people in Barbados, her native land. She will return early in the New Year. We now take this opportunity of wishing the members of the U. N. I. A a very happy New Year, hoping that at the close of the year which is now dawning upon us we can to honor our objectivity than we have been in the past.

Both papers were well prepared, and the audience showed their appreciation by heartily applauding the authors at the end of the reading. The program was as follows: Song, by U. N. I. A. members; Scripture, reading by the Rev. Garrett; song, by Mrs. M. L. Penn; recitation, by Edgar Penn; address by G. W. Lily; address, by Mrs. James Reashy. The Rev Lily spoke of the wonders of ancient Ethiopia, and the past achievements of our forefathers, but urged upon the audience the necessity of restoring Africa to her pristine glory. He said that, while we could look back upon our history with becoming pride, still we should not be satisfied to live on the reputation of our ancestors but should start out to carve out our deadlines and again build a government which will demand the respect of the world. Mrs. Reashy spoke on the "American Negro." She said, in part, "I believe that the greatest handicap to our race is that we are not united. If we are to occupy our place in the sun we shall accomplish this only by co-operation and efficient leadership." In continuing, the speaker said, "The one structure that no community can afford to be without is a school building. This race of our needs more and better education. Education sharpening the intellect of men and women to such a fine point that they are able to perform intelligent services to humanity. It could be put to evil purposes, but, notwithstanding, it is one of the means which will play a powerful part in the redemption of Africa. She also urged upon the members of the local to acquire as much wealth as possible, as that would give them a powerful lever in their fight for recognition and the chance to build up a government of their own in Africa. The president made a few remarks and the meeting was brought to a close." ANTI LA. CUBA In spite of the continuous bad weather, the Anita division had a pleased Sunday evening when the members and friends of the local turned out in large numbers to take part in the expanded program which was prepared for them. This program is determined to work in order in the coming year in order to bring the race more closer to the collective, which is a free and reclaimed Africa. The program was also launched.

Many believe that the charge was only a sham to get Garvey with the hope of destroying his work. The whole thing seems to be made up of an international plot which will shortly expose itself. Several Negro men and organizations have been parties to what was regarded as a "frame-up," but Truth shall have a hearing. An appeal must be taken to the highest courts of the land to further test justice; therefore, every Negro of loyalty and manhood is asked to subscribe to this fund.

We have pointed out more than once that in this will consist the parting of the ways, the way that will surely lead to British hegemony for generations unborn, or the way that will mark disintegration and disruption. We have premised that there is a controlling Force in world affairs, and, providing the necessary energy and the will to nationhood are present, there is nothing to prevent British West Africa taking her place among the nations. But there is the stupid thing called prejudice to contend with. There are otherwise intelligent people among all races who cannot get themselves rid of a cast iron feeling of superiority, the sort of feeling which says to a brother human being. Stand aside for I am better than thou. That feeling is said to be more or less peculiar to Anglo-Saxonom in the United States and within the British Empire. This national feature, this inordinate sense and assertion of prestige, a type or original sin, who can purge Anglo-Saxonom of it? That is the grand query, the vital consideration of mankind. But the future world order shall not be built or raised upon prejudice. Prejudice is a think-detestable to the Master Builder of all time. Hence the terrible lessons that on occasion He teaches mankind in minor and major Armageddons. And mankind will, of course, have to learn willy-nilly. And that is about the cohesion of the whole matter. In the meanwhile, what of the apical to British West Africa? It is to stand firm, shoulder to shoulder resolutely, hopefully. With the will and the purpose to do for ourselves a way is sure to be open to make achievement possible. We do not place it higher than that. For here also there must be no illusions. We cannot open the gates of opportunity by merely going through a form of incarnation. It means hard thinking, hard work, rising up early and repalring late to rest. It means here a little and there a little. It means putting in every ounce of nerve, every ounce of muscle. It means, moreover, every man, every woman, every child contributing his and her quota to the sum total of the general effort. And the children too? Aye, so say we. Let the very babes and sucklings understand that we are engaged upon a Job that will make a future world better for them to live in a world in which they will not be kicked and tossed about and buffeted, but a world in which they will have and command the ordinary rights of man and of that glorious heritage, true, full, and ample British citizenship. This is the appeal, and who can withstand it? It is a call that is within reason, within patriotism, within loyal duty to God, the King, and ourselves. In an enlightened age when all are seeking for betterment, who can blame you for seeking to better your condition. He who does is not your friend, but your foe to whom no consideration is due. Therefore he up and doing, and don't waste any time about it. Agents—Dealers—Canvassers Men and women You can make $10 to $20 weekly with our list of tellers.

Planned Hospitals "The process, through which this development was to take place was designed to be through scientific educational, propaganda inside the lodge room, and through, printed literature and by the establishment of great educational universities in different parts of the nation and through the building of magnificent hospitals for the healing of the physical ills of mankind, included definitely among these aims being the world's largest white plague sanitarium and the largest dope curse place of refuge in America. It was still further designed through ceremonies, in the lodge room and through the higher development of character of the membership of the organization to teach the men who have taken the oath of the organization greater respect for law and order and the courts and the government, thus giving to the government and the courts of the land a body of men that would be an unseen but powerful and influential moral factor, serving to stabilize the courts and the government all times and to be particularly servitable in times of stress or trouble of any kind. "The thing that alarmes me most in connection with the organization is the apparent trend of thought inside the ranks of the membership of the organization toward disregard for law and order and the tendency on the part of the membership to seek to assume local, state and national political dictatorship, and in my judgment when any powerful secret organization assumes either of the above attitudes it immediately becomes a real menace to free government and the rights, privileges and liberties guaranteed under the Constitution to the citizens of the United States of America. Remedy Evils or Disband "In the face of this condition and as an American citizen and having taken a solemn oath as a klansman, and as the builder of the klan and the leader of the former controlling element in the klan, whose aims and ideals were and still are the same as outlined above in this communication, I feel that I can do no less than come to you as the supreme head of our government and, speaking for myself and the hundreds of thousands of magnificent men who followed my lead and who came into the organization because of the preeminence of its high ideals and principles and purposes, and tender to you any assistance in my power toward forcing the lawless element out of the klan, thus permitting it to function as intended, as a high-tone character-building, active, rational, organization; or, this being impossible toward the stamping out of the menace which the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan has become through the prostitution of its high purposes, ideals and principles by those who are either undesirous or incapable of controlling the situation from inside the klan.

Un nuevo virus se ha injectado en la situación filipina y puede precipitar una de ha luchas más agitadas que se hayan presenciado hasta aqui. La cuestion es si ai aplican o no a las Filipinas las leyes de navegación costanera de los Estados Unidos. El Elemento Pernicioso de Nuebla Rana Cava Su Propia Fosa Con Su Politica de Conveniencias—Se Oculta Bajo el Antifaz de la Hipocrecia Con el Objeta de Dastruir Nuestra Labor, la Cual Es Muy Terminante—La Dirección y Su Precio—Determinación Por la Aquisición del Derecho El senador republicano de Washington, Wesley Jones; presidente del comité de comercio del senado, autor de la ley de marina mercante de 1920, ha presentado la materia pidiendo al presidente Coolidge que aplique inmediatamente dichas leyes a laas Filipinas. Ya se ha dicho de antemano que hay seres que dotestan la posición que ellos no pueden adquirir, siendo esta una de las razones por las cuales ciertos de los tal llamados directores de nuestra raza, se deleitan en atacar en toda la linea a nuestra organización y a su honorable presidente en particular. Algunos de los que hallan satisfacción en tal malsana labor, no conocen personalmente al presidente general y sus cualidades y nunca han contribuido a movimiento alguno, en el cual el se haya visto identificado. El senior Pedro-Guevara, comisinado residente de las Filipinas, al saber la decisión del anterior senador, hizo una declaración en que condena la recomendación presentada en los términos siguientes: La navigación costanera es un problema de orden doméstico que es de la jurisdicción exclusiva de la legislatura filipina. Aplicar una ley que se refiere a un problema doméstico sin permitir al pueblo filipino dejar oir su voz en la materia, seria un acto de opresión que podría pararse con el famoso procedimiento de impuestos sin representación. Si debido a la poca abilidad que poseen para realizar un algo en beneficio general de la raza, ¿porqué condenar los esfuerzos de aquellos que con la mejor intención tratan de obtener un mejoramiento en nuestra condición actual? Tal parece que el gran monstruo de la envidia ejercce toda su influencia, en el poco sentimiento humano que resta en estos cerebros debilitados. Es muy facil criticar y hasta condenar, pero, ¿que institución de la raza hubiera podido mantenerse en pie con las persecusiones e investigaciones que la nuestra ha sido objeto? Segun la ley de la marina mercante de 1920, las leyes de navegación costanera de los Estados Unidos pueden aplicarse a las Filipinas mientras exista un adecuado servicio en las lasis bajo la bandera norteamericana. Estas leyes excluirían a todos los buques con exception de los norteamericanos del comercio entre los Estados Unidos y las Filipinas. El senador Jones dijo al presidente Coolidge que actualmente existe un servicio adecuado. Apoyan a este senador en la materia todos los norteamericanos miembros de la asociación de propietarios de buques y tolas las otras organizaciones de navigación. Cuando los que critican y se oponen a nuestro movimiento hayan podido demostrar el número de instituciones y organizaciones por ellos fundadas con éxito; cuando puedan presentar al mundo grandes instituciones financieras o de cualquier otra indole, entonces y solamente entonces suscriticas y oposiciones tendrán justificación. Algunos se descartan con que no están interesados en los asuntos de la raza, sino en los asuntos de la humanidad en general. Todos estamos interesados en la humanidad, pero no vivimos en la época en que el hombre deba convertirse en un todopoderoso. Es la humanidad colgada de un árbol, atada a un pilar y quemada viva, avejada y segregada, o son tales ignominias comefidas exclusivamente con nosotros? El presidente Coolidge no ha tomaado hasta aqui ninguna decision al respecto y tiene un informe sintético preparado por William S. Culberton, vicepresidente de la comisión de tarifas, en que se opone a la aplicación de tales leyes. Se dice que este ha expresado en el informe su opinión personal, no con el carácter de miembro de la comisión de tarifas. Nuestra raza ambiciona dirección; anhela una dirección eficiente, pero tal parece que para obtener esta tendrá que esperar otra generación. Los tal llamados directores de la raza del presente envidian al semejante que algo práctico realiza y con el objeto de destruir su labor, traman planes para reducirlés a prison, brindándoles todo esto una oportunidad para salir a la via pública, vanagloriandose de su maquiavelismo. Pero aunque la balanza de la justicia haya sido incligada hacia un lado, la opinión pública sabrá dar su veredicto imparcial. Mussolini y Su Originalidad Por recomendación, del primer ministro Mussolini, y del gabinete italiano, el rey Victor Manuel firmó un decreto clausurando la actual legislatura del parlamento italiano. Este decreto conducirá a la disolución del parlamento a principios del año próximo y a la celebración de elecciones generales para la canna de diputados en la primavera. Al mismo tiempo ha renunciado a sus probabilidades de una extensión de sus poderes dictatoriales por el presente parlamento, y debe depender por lo tanto, según la creencia general, en la concesión real para extender el ejercicio de esos poderes hasta la reunión del próximo parlamento. Interpretemos concieniente lo que dirección significa. Cuando el honorable Marcus Garvey hacia esfuerzos sobrehumanos, sin renumeración y tal vez sin alimentos, luego de haber apelado a todos los recursos para esta organización, nadie le criticó sino que fue calificado de tonto por invertir su tiempo y su dinero, sirviendo a un pueblo sin gratitud. Pero el nunca desmayó en su empresa proque siempre tuvo gran confianza en sí mismo y se compenetró de que su pueblo no era enteramente ingrato. Los miembros de la camara de diputados afectados por este decreto fueron electos en 1921 y su periodo de ejercicio no hubiera expirado hasta 1926. La legislatura de otoño empezo el 29 de noviembre y no hubo nada en aquel entonces, que indicara que no se permitiría a esta parlamento continuar hasta el fin de existencia. Mussolini al parecer no tenia nada que temer de el porque habia anunciado practicamente que apoyaria todas sus iniciativas. Habia también todas las seguridad de que sus poderes de dictador serían ampliados por otro año. El sentimiento humano ha sido siempre el mismo con respecto a su actitud hacia nuestra raza; el elemento que lucha solamente ha recuperado su alma, sintiendo aun la presión de la actitud en su contra. Por medio de este individuo podemos ver esperanza; podemos ver la salvación de la raza; pero, cuando fijamos nuestra vista en el elemento de educación, de posición y de refinamiento, vemos que apesar de sufir, las consecuencias del mismo prejuicio, está satisfecho de disfrutar de un estado de vida ficticio, con la esperanza de ser respetado como lo son los miembros de la otras razas, engañandose a sí mismo. La actitud de Mussolini con los parlamentos ha sido más o menos confusa. En su revista del primer año del fascismo aprovechó la oca-sión para decir que el sistema paria-mentario habia sido util en el pasado y habia funcionado maravillosamente, pero que "estábamos en el dia ante problemas para tratar los cuales este sistema es impotente". Declaró que si las funciones del parlamento italiano han de cusistir en tediosos e interminables debates sobre temas acerca de los cuales frecuentemente sus miembros son incompetentes para hablar, podria facilmente pasarse sin los parlamentos. Agrego que tal vez se necesitaba algo nuevo y progresista. Para que el Negro, sea cual fuere su estado de cultura o posición, reciba el respeto y reconocimiento del mundo, tiene primero que establecer su verdadera actitud de hombre y no bajar la cabeza ante otro ser a quien crea superior, en señal de servitud. Tal respeto y reconocimiento pueden ser adquiridos por medio del propio respeto a sí mismo, progreso y desenvolvimiento propios, lema de nuestra organización. Ninguna otra organización de nuestra raza ha presentado lucha por nacionalidad; ninguna otra organización ha despertado el interés universalmente, parte en pro y parte en contra. La mente liberal ha visto derecho y justicia en el programa de esta gran organización; los inconcientes ven una amenaza que intervendrá con sus privilgios. No luchamos con el objeto de satisfacer al universo; luchamos para nuestra propia satisfacción con un solo propósito; el propósito de plantar los colores de nuestro estandarte en el continente africano, el cual nos dará una patria, una nación y una raza. No hay nada en su actual decision que indique que se pasaría sin el sistema parlamentario. Indica más bien que Mussolini deseaba algo más que una aprobación de su labor por un parlamento que consideraba no representaba el actual sistema político de Italia. Desde que vino a la existencia en 1921 no represento en forma alguna al fascismo, que no ha subido al poder en Italia hasta un año más tarde. Las elecciones celebradas o próximas en otras potencias de Europa han influido sin duda en decidirle a recurrir en este momento a esta forma de expresión pública. Ingresemos en la línea de batalla por la realización de nuestro propósito, sin prestar atención alguna a la propaganda malsana de los descontentos de siempre. Recordemos que tenemos un programa delineado el cual debemos llevar hacia adelante bajo a tuturela del Cuerpo Digestivo de nuestra organización, cuyo estandarte defenderemos y sostendremos inclume dando pruebas de valor civico, hasta llegar a la meta de nuestra aspiraciones. El parlamento con el que Mussolini ha estado trabajando fue electo en un momento en que el radicalismo imperaba en Italia. Su propio gabinete está formado casi enteramente de fascistas. Que haya sido capaz de dominio y que haya sido UN PROSPERO Y FELIZ ANO NUEVO tan docell y cumiso para el ha sido uno de los bosquetientes inaparados de su gobierno. Lo que busca es algo más que su misión. Dones probar al mundo que Italia apuesta la fascismo y que los italianos en efecto lo apoyan y apoyan los planes de su gobierno. Las proximas elecciones generales se celebrarán bajo el regimen de reforma electoral que propuso en un proyecto de ley presentado a la cámara en julio Pasado. Con esta medida se arriesga no poco porque en ella se prescribe que el partido que obstenta el mayor número de votos obtendra las dos (terceras partes de los puestos delongroso. Si los fascistas perdieran las elecciones, se hallarian en una minoria indefensa, y su poder político seria practicamente eclipsado. Evidentemente Mussolini confia en que la nación sostenga las medidas que se propone presentar en el próximo parlamento y que también está en favor de la extension de sus poderes de dictador. Aligerando el Peso de los Ricos Los planes del secretario del tesoro federal para reducir los impuestos estan aceptados en parte por todo el mundo. Nadie puede oponerse, directamente a hacer más ligero el peso de los contribuyentes de medios modestos de existencia. El senador Simmons de North Carolina declara que este partido no cederá a ninguno en su interés por reducir los impuestos de las clases medias; pero que se resistiría hasta lo ultimo al plan del secretario Mellon que está encaminado a aligerar el peso de los ricos. El gran-punto del principal argumento del secretario Mellon es que los ricos han encontrado los medios de aliviarse su propio peso. Están progresivamente evadiendo las pesadas contribuciones impuestas especialmente a su clase. Era inudable desde el principio que lo harian. Las cifras del tesoro citadas por M. Mellon prueban que lo han hecho. El desea en realidad obtener más dinero de ellos del que ahora estan pagando. Pero se propone hacerlo reduciendo su tipo de contribución. Esto está de acuerdo con las teorías económicas y la experiencia que se extiende a un largo periodo de año, aunque naturalmente parezca una premisa ridicula para aquellos cuyo criterio tiene unicamente a la imposición de fuertes contribuciones a los ricos. Supongase que las fuertes contribuciones a los ricos no se reduzcan stipangase hasta que se elevan: aquí currirra? Los ricos podrán o no podrán ser aliviados del peso que se impone, pero es seguro que los pobres serán afectados más pesadamente. Porque una gran proporción de las fuertes contribuciones de los ricos es inevitablemente pesada al consumidor. El impuesto es necesariamente incorporado al costo total de la producción. El Estilo Prusiano Intenta Resurgir Las relaciones entre Alemania y Polonia que no han sido nada antitosas en ningún tiempo después de la guerra se han puesto más tirantes a causa de una expulsion perentoria de obreros polacos por el gobierno del estado libre de Mecklenburg, el punto de apoyo del junquierismo. A pesar de la seria anonestación de la cancilleria alemana, el gobierno de Mecklenburg ha ordenado a quince trabajadores polacos, que salgan del país dentro de nueva días junto con todos sus hijos y parientes, que parece forman un pequeño ejército pacífico de quinientos personas. Los patronos se han negado a pagar los pasajes de los proscriptos, apesar de que obligaron a ello en el contrato que firmaron al efecto. No se han tomado medidas previas para el transporte, habiendo obligado la ordent, de puro estilo prusiano, a esos infelices, a que tuvieran que dirigirse a la frontera en la forma que pudieran, pudieran o no, y a pesar del tiempo frio, lo cual ha producido calamidades sin cuento a los niños polacos. Ahora el gobierno polaco acaba de anunciar que hara uso del derecho de represalia, lo cual puede conducir a graves consecuencias. El mundo estaba casi en paz verdadera, el día de navidad, como en ningún otro, tiempo antes de 1913. Sólo existe en progreso una guerra de menor importancia y una revolución. La guerra es entre los españoles y las tribus rifenías y la revolución es en México. Se deduja que en los espiritus reine también la paz anotada y es posible que reine cuando haya cesado la guerra pacifica entre las cancillerias europeas y todos los pueblos de la tierra gocen de libertad.

MISS WELLS' ESTATE GOES TO HER HUSBAND Actress Left Property Worth Over $5,000; Had Played With Noted Stars The will of the late Rowne Wells, the actress, has been admitted to prolate. By its terms her husband, William C. Masson, theatrical manager and producer, inherits the bulk of her estate. The value is set at "over $5,000 in realty and over $100" in personal property. Mr. Masson is made executor without bond. Miss Wells, who formedly played with Marie Tempest, Henry E. Dixey, and other story made only two specifie bequests. One was a gold and platinum dinner ring with 45 diamonds to Rose Anna Coultry, grandmother, the other was a piece of jewelry or its equivalent in money to Leila Sievers of Sydney, Australia, another grand-nepiece. Anna and Husband Investing in Oil Only since Anna Q. Nilsson started work upon the Richard Walton Tully production of Rex Beach's "Flowing Gold," a forthcoming First National picture, have she and her husband, John M. Gummerson, a Los Angeles show manufacturer, become personally interested in the business. "Flowing Gold" is an old story, pure and simple, and Anna plays the daughter of a poverty-striken family who strife on their barren Texas acres. Witten the past week Mr. Gummerson has become heavily interested in an oil field near Los Angeles and Anna, out of wife that she says she has almost payed the Persian to join him in the speculation. Anna suggested that Mr. Gummerson name the first well "Anna Q. No. 1," but lobbily suggested the bare possibility of a "duster" and wishes to spare her that humiliation. "If we but—oh boy!" explained Anna, with characteristic enthusiasm. And, "if we don't, more sober, 'I'm just!'

TELEPHONE SERVICE. TLEY HOTEL By the Editor of The Negro World: I read with great interest the accounts of Hon. William Sherrill and Hon. Marcus Garvey in The Negro World of December 15 and, believe me, I was very much enthused and inspired by some of the high truths expressed beautifully and elegantly. I was indeed struck with the nobility of purpose and the high aspirations and noble sentiments which the moving spirit of Hon. Marcus Garvey has inspired among not only his colleagues but also in the rank and file of the members of the U. N. I. A. Though there may be differences of opinion as to the line, which the colored people should follow in the onward march of their progress, as Hon. Marcus Garvey himself does not agree with the early speakers, yet there is no doubt about the fact that the conclusion arrived at by the Hon. William Sherrill as to the ushering in of a new era by the black man in which man will be treated as man and the world will realise from example and precept that of one blood God made all the nations of the earth, to dwell together in peace and unity, in one of the softest and noblest sentiments ever uttered by a down-town, albeit noble race. There may be practical difficulties in the way of this consummation, but there is no doubt that in spite of great provocation it bepeaks a noble mind. Mr. Carter, who took up the subject in the same strain, did well to draw our attention to the preparation for that age. How true he sounded when he said that all development is from within outward, and that our duty was to take ourselves in hand, to make contact with humanity in general, to work for the general good. A race that has individual members of such mental calibre and high mind cannot but succeed in the long run, however hard the journey might be. Mr. Carter only expressed the hope truth when he have it is not a reliable book and that we cannot depend on it for our spiritual uplift. The Bible is but a book of propaganda, as he says. Where does he get his Christ from? Moreover, take away this turning of one check when slapped on the other, and there is nothing left of the teaching of Jesus. He preached love in theory and this was a practical illustration of that. Mr. Carter is an honest, earnest, bold spirit. He knows a truth is bitter. "It is like throwing a stone in the dark" as he terms it, and I hope, he will not care if some one holler out. He discards Christianity. It ought to have been done ere long. There is nothing in it but that "both checks-slap business". But destructive proposals have never flourished in the world unless there is a constructive side to them, or there would be the creating of a blank, a void, which would spell danger, ruin and retraction. Let him put before the world the religion which has practically established the truth that all men are equal and there is no distinction of color, race, or nationality. He should tell his people how that great brotherhood of Islam has been brought out and how the great vision of the sages and the master minds of the past have been given a practical reality. Would he do it? I hope so. Mr. Garvey, however, took issue on the question. He admired the atrium of the previous speaker's thought of the spiritual age where unity of mankind will be practically demonstrared. In his heart of hearts he must Hercules Hair Grower have been graded to see such noble sentiments falling from the lips of those whom he can call his own disciples. It also credit to any man in any age, but owing to certain political exigencies he had to give a curb to such sentiments, not because he disliked them, for he openly disavowed such a thing, but because he thought that the time was not ripe for such high sentiments. It is a long journey and an arduous task and much "purging" and discipline is necessary before a nation can embark upoh such a course. He was right in sounding a note of caution. Perhaps he has other difficulties in view, because he always takes a long view of things. He has seen much of the world, and he knows that the black race in America is but a small fraction of the race that lives across the seas. If the question of spirituality was taken up, which view of it was to be taken up—Islam or Christianity? He knows that more than three-fourths of the black people inhabiting Africa are Moslems, and they will have nothing to do with Christianity. They abhor the very name of it. That would mean division and split. Hence no nation-building can be carried out on such a filmy basis. He says "Christ failed" in his mission or he would surely have presented this ideal before his own nation. But he dare not name Islam in America; for he does not like to give another leet into the hands of his enemies who want to wreck his chief ambition of life. Christianity has been a failure and Islam he dare not put at this stage before the people here. So he would do away with spirituality altogether. "It is a doubtful thing." "We do not know anything about it." "We only assume it?" "The big and powerful nations are not doing it." "Why should a poor and downcasten race undertake it?" "It should be left to God." "Christ will do it when He comes next time." That is how he argues. I am afraid I cannot see eye to eye with him. He, over-emphasizes the material side of life to the utter exclusion of the spiritual. No great nation was ever built on such an unholy foundation. No civilization was ever reared on anything but truth. To build on materialism is to build on sand. All the great empires, nations, and civilizations were raised on high principles. This hankering after material has always led to their undoing. I know he foresees great difficulties ahead, yet, it does not mean that a great principle is to be sacrificed for the sake of these breakers ahead. No navigation worth the name would attempt such a course. Other nations have done it, and are doing it. But, supposing others did not do it, does it mean that we need not attempt the noblest thing human mind has ever conceived? It is the humble and the downtreated who have always attempted it, and it is they who pointed the way to success. All honor and glory to the humble in the earth. It is only in this way that the humble became the teachers and masters of the world. Why leave it to Christ? What guarantee is there that He would succeed next time. If He can ever come again? No man ever came the second time. It is a pious wish recorded only in the book of p.paganda. He is dead. He cannot come back to life on this plane of ours. "Why pin our hopes on false hopes." It is hoping against hope. But, says Mr. Garvey, "Let us leave it to the Providence." "It is God's providence." Why interfere with it? God in His good time will bring about the spiritual reign. But how does He know that it is His province and not man? Surely we are spirit and body, both if it is our duty to look for one, it is equally incumbent upon us to look for the other. We know that we do not create our bodies. We age not here with our own will. Then, why should we care for our physical needs. Let us leave them to God also, for the body is as much within His sphere as the spirit. It does not seem a very sound argument. Body and soul are both within the purview and sphere of man, and history is cognizant of this fact. I think we cannot shirk our responsibilities in this behalf. If we do not grieve with this program now, our difficulties would increase a hundred fold in the next decade. The white man is telling his people the Bible is tell the same thing to his own people. There are men ready to accept it since no good. Why does not Mr. Garvey they they have suffered much on account of it. He should not be afraid of it. Mr. Garvey told the same truth: Why, Mr. Garvey, himself, confessed when he said "Christ failed." Who not taked place and tell them of the man who succeeded with it. Perhaps in so doing he will save a lot of expense that colored folk all going to make and open Baptist Mission in Africa, while he will be carving the overzealousness of some of the 46 N. L. A members who want to break Islam. He knows Islam cannot be broken by human hands. Why not tell the truth in all its nakedness to avoid future catastrophes. MUHAMMAD DIN. Chicago, Ill. Dec. 29, 1923. 4445 Wabash avenue. Negro Industrial Commission Is Proposed To the Editor of The Negro World In looking over The Negro World the other day I noticed with some pleasure, I assure you, seeing your name connected with an article on the editorial page of that publication; and I have read the article which it seems to me is of the kind there. It is much need of at this time in the great confusion that appears in the minds of so many people in trying to solve the world problems, for the betterment of all mankind. With your long time connected with journalists, I consider, places you to advantage to comment upon subjects that affect the welfare of all persons having souls; and that means the inhabitants in the jungles of Africa, according to Dr. Wood, pastor of the Church of the Covenant, the most aristocratic church preacher in the city of Washington, who he delivered a series of evening permeate last year. Final year on his ob servations on a trip to Africa, and after describing King Solomon's and other mines and riches of Africa, said the wealth of Africa was in the souls of the people in the jungles; that is, material wealth does not have the comparative value as people's feelings and with this thought in connection with the British Labor Party's aim, it does seem the time is near at hand when you and myself, with others; are going to be compelled to give more consideration to the feelings of the people in the jungles of Africa than has been thought of, in times past, which, of course, does not mean that there will not be aptiation for improving race conditions in America, but that the Continent of Africa must be taken into consideration in the readjustment of the new order in the progress of civilization; so, I trust that you may get some idea for my views to appreciate the work that Mr. Marcus Garvey is trying to do as well as yourself. I notice the editorial comment last week in The Negro World on the President's message concerning his statement in regard to a Negro Industrial Commission, of which I herewish include a copy of a bill introduced by Mr. Foster of Ohio that Mr. Giles-B Jackson, 516 North Second Street, Richmond, Virginia, is the author, and he was heard before the Judiciary Committee of the House last year on the bill nearly the same as the one introduced by Mr. Foster. Mr. Jackson is a Negro lawyer, with ability and experience in public matters, so has good qualifications to promote interest and get action on the bill. I have been trying to assist him by working with him on the matter and by him taking the lead, which I am inclined to believe in the best way in other matters affecting the welfare of the Negro race; that is for me to work with those I agree with in trying to assist them by furnishing material to support their views to those who are in positions to give political or other aid for the betterment of conditions. The Dearborn Independent, of December 22, has an article, "Attempt to Holsweize the Negro," that it seems you are likely to read as well as those that are to follow, and I trust will surely comment upon them as you may think best. I called up Mr. Stewart, the chairman here of the local branch of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and he tells me Dr. Sherrill is to be here on January 2nd, and the Hon. Marcus Carvey on January 15 and 16, and so I trust they may have good attendance, as I surely think that they deserve. I might add that I continue very much interested in seeing Lubera, West Africa, get support to take a leading part in affairs in Africa, so I am very much pleased to have learned there recently by the Universal Negro Improvement Association. With compliments of the season, very respectfully yours. The Lynching Evil Put Up to Congress To the Editor of The Negro World: Stop! Look! Listen! 'Tis a beautiful night. The night before Christmas. Out of doors in the bleak December. Mother earth is retiring beneath a snow white cover. It is cold and chill. The frost glistens under the light of the shining moon. No night was ever so lovely. The sky is bedecked with its brightest stars. Each arrayed in place by the Mister artist. The north star. The dippers. The milky way. All are out as if to celebrate. But look to the east. Oh, that man would always look to the front. There is a star shining with more brilliance than all the rest. Shining as it must have shone nineteen-hundred years ago, over the town of Bethlehem, when angels sang "Peace on Earth, Good Walt to Man." But, look youpiper and ahead! A light! Light's accepting from the earth. Barn free? Cold eating? Perhaps Yes. Wheat! The air smells smells of wheat! It is only a barn fire smouldering around an aged ark of the woods. No one seems to be near as we closer show. They've left a good fire. Let us carry and enjoy the warmth. Frosty night. Look. Why the chain around the trunk of this tree, 'Hot, hot, Kick those bigger places from around the other side so we may have a better fire. A stream pills along carrying freshly broken pieces of ice. Foot prints. Prints of horses hoofs. Godzook. Roses. A human skeleton dangling from the chain. The skull lay near. The fire fast consuming what remains of flesh and blood. The owl's sound of frying is heard. A human being has been burned. A soul destroyed. A Jew. A gentle Negro or a white American. Who knows? Who guesses? God knows God cared that life is on the sparrow. Nothing matters. A man has been burned. Burns alive. This in America—My country 'tie of thee'. Oh, shame, shame upon the fair law boosting land of ours. Shame upon ye, ye bigphemeres of our father'. God to thee we commend the soul of this departed. Look to the east. The star of othelhem shines. Follow it. It may lead to a cradle, in which may lay the Child child, who again may be crucified, yes. Lynched, or burned alive at the stake. This may happen in America. America the beautiful. America the great. What are you going to do about it? To the men of the Congress we speak. Hear the voice in the air of Patrick Henry. Can you afford to longer remain among those, who having eyes, see not and ears hear not? Can you not see this foul and filthy octopus of crime it it grows, fastening its many faintious arms to the very foundation of our republic. Can you not hear the parasites of discontent as they everywhere creep through the weak places of our government. One disease may breed others.

Why not settle this question of lynching in communities now, once and forever enacting into law on Anti-lynching bill. A more appropriate and commendable gift to the nation could not come from the legislative branch of our government than this piece of legislation. Indeed, it surpasses all others in that it concerns the souls of men. To the Editor of The Negro World: The world of today is undergoing a rapid chance, a change which is revolutionary in its psychology and disastrous in its effects. We find every group of people under whatever flag or clime it may be sojourning, is helching forth a rankerous and revolting oblution of dissatisfaction. Among them Negroes are proclaiming to the world that they, too, are dissatisfied over the many injustices that are being meted out to them. The cant of patriotism and democracy as whined by the statesmen of the world, has ceased to charm the ear of Negroes. It has become as nauseous as the maddened paroxysms of sophistication. But the remarkable feature of this great renalisance of Negroes is strictly dated back to a few years ago when Marcus Garvey made his how to the world with a new idea, with a new vision. As is the case with the birth of everything now, the idea of Marcus Garvey was laughed at as an idle dream, the buoyant fancy of a lively imagination. In spite of this, he presented his program to the world, and, after the savants of the age had put it through the most critical analyses and even before their decisions were made known, the masses of the people started to gather from near and far under the leadership of the one who was ushered in to save the race from ultimate destruction. They saw in this new program a beacon light which blazes the way toward the salvation of a people. Jealous of the success of Marcus Garvey, individuals who had their own selfish desires and interests in look after, started to attack him and not the program), believing that, by this method, they would be able to hold him up to oppression and injustice, thereby defeating his purpose and efforts. Despite the machinations of these designers, Garvey never dressed nor trumped away his time. He pursued his course with an anxious skill and determination, until he had built up the gigantic and most powerful organization among Negroes—the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Through the program of this idea. Through the program of this Association, Negroes everywhere started to think in different lines from that which they were taught to follow by the ingenious whites. The change that has been brought forth in every community was remarkable. Politicians who were given to discussing the politics of their respective wards started to interest themselves in politics, national Newspapers and leaders who never expressed themselves in anything save matters local and national, started to take part in the things international. Black men and black women, who were once prone to believe that the color of their skin is the cause of their condition, changed their opinion and reasoned to the fact that it is force and power which this age respects and not whether a man is black, yellow or brown, but the greatest change that has been wrought in the Negro in that in which he started to think of nationhood. The critics are in sympathy with the objective of the program of the Association, but they believe its magnitude renders it impossible. These men, by believing this arrant bunk, not only doubt but, put themselves on a plane lower than men. Belief, after all, is only a form of emotion and not the result of critical thinking. There are innumerable cases when men's beliefs, after investigation, have been uprooted and found to be in reality absurd; therefore, when one allows his desires and imagination to take possession of his mind, without the application of critical analysis, we are sure to be given conclusions which are falseous. Negroes all over the world decided to follow the program that Marcus Garvey gave them and with an impetuous and appalling rush with which the human intellect is moved forward in the pursuit of truth and liberty, they gathered under the banners of the U.N. I. A., for, with their new ambition they were not prepared to be satisfied as menials in any government, particularly after knowing that the majority people of those governments are never disposed to allow the minority to enjoy the best of such governments. Negro men and women with this awakened ambition, not only join the ranks of this Association, but tendered if their moral and financial support with a hope that some day they or their forbears will receive the reward of their efforts. With the determination of nationhood, Negroes, the world over, through the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, are turning their attention to the Continent of Africa, a place which was looked upon as the most edious, before the incipiency of this organization. Africa is the only hope of the Negro; therefore, any one who thinks that he is or ever will be safe outside of Africa, unless he builds a mighty government on that great continent which would lend protection to him wheresoever he may be sojourning, is making a big mistake and will be doomed in WHEN ECONOMY AND EFFICIENCY IS REQUIRED C.
