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.

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.
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.

Let us mention two: "The Dark Prigate," by Charles Boudinard Hawes, who has written several books which have almost the magic adventure atmosphere of that great friend of children, Robert Louis Stevenson. The others are "The Mutineers" and "The Great Quest." "Pan, the Piper," is a collection of stories by Anna C. Chandler. She has told these stories to thousands of children from the platform of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and they all center about the great figures suggested by paintings and sculpture in the Museum.

YOUR EDUCATION!
the only possible nation for any one to live in, and to keep and make war on other national. 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. In fact, the world is now almost as bad as it can possibly become."

Inayat Khan talks like a prophet. The fact remains, however, that Christian civilization may be a success and those who profess its dogmas and preach them may be failures, because they have tailed to practice what they preach. It would be the same way with the doctrines of the Sufi or Islam. 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. And it is human nature to aspire to something better, to aspire always after perfection.

Perhaps this intelligence and persistence with which native civic organizations have labored to better control them. We don't get anything anywhere which might for intelligently and insistently.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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-

ley. 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.

There was joud cheering from the Forty-second Street Musketeers yesterday when the good news leaked out that Jack Dunstan had been awagged a decision by the Federal District Court restoring to him the stock of whiskey, gin champagne and liquors, valued at $100,000, which prohibition enforcement agents had seized in his restaurant a year ago. The case has been one that was watched with intense interest by the patrons of Jack's New England Kitchen, among which are many of the Old Guard of Times Square. Jack claimed that the stock of wet goods was his own private stock of booze. Yesterday a big dray hauled up in front of the restaurant and unloaded the precious cargo, while a crowd of several hundred smacked their lips and signed with happy thoughts.
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.
These in rapid progression of people she becomes an actress. Because in the imp to her time town, marries the boy who would have become a glass flower had he not written a successful play and gets a new book like Clarence Badger is told the story with a dash. Each number of the distinguished cast is admittedly suited to the role and the locations and settings are amazingly true to fact.

Plans to relieve the traffic congestion in the subways on afternoons when mattresses are given were, considered yesterday at a meeting of the Producing Managers' Association, which was attended by about forty members. The congestion now around 2.15 and 5 p.m. in the stations of the theatre district is very great. Superintendent Elliott of the I. R. 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.

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!'

Gallagher and Shean Love
in Attempt to Defeat
Injunction
The application made by Gallagher and Shean for a stay of the injunction recently granted the Shubert Theatrical Company by the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court, which prevents them from appearing under any other management, came up for argument before the Court of Appeals on December 3. This court handed down a decision denying Gallagher and Shean's application with $10 costs, which means that they will have to live up to their contract with the Messrs. Shubert.
Gallagher and Shea at this hearing were represented by Ex-Judge McCall, and William Klein appeared for the Shubert Theatrical Company.
