PREPARING FOR THE WORK OF AFRICAN COLONIZATION
ow Men of the Negro Race, Greeting: The Universal Negro Improvement Associa feels it its duty to prepare the minds of the people everywhere for those changes that are generally contemplated for the good of the race. keeping with such a duty, we take it-as a sure to announce to the race at large that it is to be a year of consolidated effort among people everywhere for the development and redemption of our country, Africa.
Africa the Attraction of the World
Africa, as every thoughtful person realizes, becoming the attraction of the world; her resources in mineral and agricultural products are be exploited by the aggressive and colonizing ces and nations of the world. For such a rea n Europe—France, Italy, Portugal, and Bel um—are endeavoring to strengthen their
the continent. The pioneering and adventurous spirit of Europe is driving its people toward Africa. It is this mad rush that alarms the Universal Negro Improvement Association and urges it to unite the scattered sentiment of our people and direct it toward African redemption. If we, as a race, do not concentrate upon the redemption of Africa and the exploitation of its vast resources, it will simply mean that the continent in another twenty-five years will have become a new country for the European races where the Negro will find it as hard and difficult to eke out an existence as he does now in America and Europe.
The Peopling of the World
The fight of the Negro of the present is to prevent the European from making Africa his new home. The European has already peopled Europe, America and Australia. He made a strong bid for the peopling and dominating of Asia, but he failed, thanks to the activity and alertness of the Asiatic.
Doomed Forever
If Negroes sit supinely by and allow the European to prosecute his desires in the direction of Africa, then it simply means that we are doomed forever. The European has his plan of world conquest and domination. It is not likely that he will take the Negro into his confidence. It is for us to discover his purpose, and, as far as it affects us, to see to it that we are protected. This is the work of the Universal Negro Improvement Association.
Protecting Interest of Race
NEGROES' FUTURE LIES IN CONTINENT OF THEIR FATHERS
AFRICA THE LAND OF THE FUTURE AMERICA AND WEST INDIES TRAINING GROUNDS FOR AFRICAN SERVICE
GAINING THE RESPECT OF OTHER RACES
interest of the Negro race, and with such responsibility resting upon our shoulders we go forward advancing the banner of the Red, the Black and the Green, with the object of creating out of our united efforts the idea of African imperial redemption. The thing that we desire is to see a great and powerful African commonwealth where Negroes will have the same opportunity and privilege to rise to power and glory as the white man has in America, Europe and Australia. We are asking for the whole-hearted cooperation of the Negro peoples of the world for the accomplishment of the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Let us do everything possible to develop industrially and commercially the now existing Negro nations by strengthening their hands with our western intelligence and helping in their growth to political power.
Respect of Other Races
We must place ourselves in a position where the other races and nations of the world will not fail in their respect for us as a people. We want to stir the Negroes of America and the West Indies to the realization and the fact that Africa affords just at this time a glorious opportunity for colonization, and as the white man for centuries went from Europe to colonize and people America and Canada, so should the Negro from the West Indies and America turn toward the colonization of Africa.
Our Western Education
We should convey to Africa all that we have imbibed by the way of education and culture from the contact of three hundred years with western civilization. Africa needs scientists, mechanics, engineers and tradesmen of all kinds. Yes, she needs doctors, teachers, business men and captains of industry. America and the West Indies have been splendid training grounds for the Negro for the last three-quarters of a century. We have learned from the best universities of Europe, Canada and America, and we can now apply that knowledge for the
development of our Motherland. Surely all thoughtful Negroes of America and the West Indies will dedicate themselves to the work of Africa's development.
Preparing Ourselves
Those of you who are preparing yourselves in the banking and other financial institutions of America be assured that we shall expect you to become the great financial magnates of Africa in directing the banking systems of the Mother Country. You who are in the insurance business of the United States of America, surely we are expecting you to preside over the "Metropolitan" and "New York" African insurance companies and corporations of the future. You men and women who are engaged in your little industrial enterprises, surely you are training yourselves to become the presidents and managers of department stores and other corporate enterprises of Africa. Surely you lawyers and other professional men who are experimenting in the United States and the West Indies are but getting ready for the bigger field of practice in the great Commonwealth of Africa, where you shall become leaders in statesmanship and in society. And you men and women who have had to labor by your hands, surely you are preparing yourselves to undertake the bigger task of building for your own race and laying the foundation for your own commonwealth. The contact and civilization that we have had in the western world will surely fit us for undertaking the big task of African redemption. Let us, therefore, focus our attention upon African colonization in 1924.
Repatriation Boom
Let us save our dimes and dollars and accumulate them so as to be ready when the great boom starts in repatriation. The Universal Negro Improvement Association hopes that in 1924 several hundred thousand families from America and the West Indies will be repatriated to Africa to work in its development.
Duty of Members of Organization
Members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association everywhere should redouble their energies and determination and push forward the program of the organization for this new year. As we labored six years to make this our movement the greatest organization in the world, so we should continue during 1924 and 1925 to see that a great part of the program is accomplished. With very best wishes for your success. I have the honor to be
UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION. Washington, D. C., January 16, 1924.
P. S.—I am asking that every member of the Universal Negro Improvement Association secure from his local division a copy of the new constitution that is now off the press. Members can only intelligently understand the working of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and their relation to the organization by reading the constitution. The constitution is the members' only safeguard in the proper conduct of the affairs of the organization. See to it that your secretary supplies you with a copy of the constitution. I also ask that every member pay to the secretary of his division the annual dollar tax which is now due. By the payment of this tax the Parent Body is rendered able to carry out its administration work. M. G.
Apart from President Coolidge's Ad-
ministration sending a commission,
widely Robert Church, of Tennessee,
as chairman, to investigate the economic
conditions existing in the Virgin
Islands. The Secretary of the Navy
wrote Mr. Rothschild Francis, well
known native journalist and legislator,
as follows:
Dear Sir: In reply to the inquiry in your letter of 5 October in regard to an engineer being sent to St. Thomas to study the water supply situation; I say that Commander R. M. Warfield (Civil Engineer Corps), U. S. Navy, sails for the Virgin Islands on the U. S. B. Kittery on 9 January for the purpose of investigating and reporting on the present tentative plans to increase the water supplies of the towns of St. Thomas, Christiansted and Fredericksted.
The government of the Island of St. Croix has made available a sum not to exceed four, thousand dollars to pay the salary and other expenses of a Reclamation Engineer to investigate and report in the possibility and practicability of irrigation on the island of St. Croix.
A Reclamation Engineer, nominated and loaned by the Reclamation Service of the Interior Department, will sail for the Virgin Islands on the Kittery in 13 February. Very truly yours.
JANUARY 48, 1924.
Mr. Francis Blinke that the idea of sending engineers to the islands to study the water problem is a good one. The Secretary of the Navy visited the islands last spring and admitted that the water problem was a serious one.
The persons composing the commission to investigate conditions in the Virgin Islands, appointed by the President, are now follows: Robert H. Chuang, chiefman, Pennsylvania; Cornelia Richmond of Indiana, George H. Woodson of Iowa, Charles E. Mitchell of West Virginia, and W. H. C. Brown of Virginia.

Letters to the President
New York, January 12th, 1924.
To the President:
Hon. Calvin Coolidge
White House
Washington, D. C.
Sir-At a regular meeting of the Manhattan Newspaper Men's Association, comprising Afro-American newspapers of the Metropolitan district of New York and resident correspondents of Race newspapers throughout the country, we were designated to express to you our high appreciation of the appointment by you of a Commission composed of distinguished Afro-Americans to proceed to the Virgin Islands, recently acquired by the United States Government, for the high purpose of investigating the political, economic and administrative needs of the islands.
It is the first time in the history of the Nation when a Commission so composed has been designated by the President of the United States and we desire to have you know in this way that your departure in this respect is regarded by us as a signal one of very far reaching importance to the people of the Virgin Islands and of the 12,000,000 Afro-American persons, citizens of the United States. We feel that you have done a splendid act in a splendid way.
We further wish to extend to you the assurance of our hourly co-operation with you in any further purpose you may have to move for the betterment of the conditions of the people of the Virgin Islands, Porto Rico, Haiti and the Philippine Islands.
With sentiments of high regard, we beg to remain.
Very respectfully,
T. THOMAS FORTUNE

Seven new agricultural colonies, four cooperative and three of the individual type, have been started in Palestine and will be in full operation soon, according to a report to the Palestine Foundation Fund by Morris Rothenberg, chairman of the fund's board of directors. The economic position of the Jews in the homeland gradually to growing stronger, Mr. Rothenberg said, and he thanked the American public for the support given.
A large share of the $5,000,000 contributed by the foundation since the British occupation has been spent upon the development of agriculture. The report said the Jews are turning out to be good farmers, and employ modern methods of cultivation, in contrast to the native Arab.
"The new colonies bring the total number of Jewish settlements in Palestine to more than ninety," said Mr Rothenberg. Tobacco growing experiments were successful and the tobacco acreage is being extended. Besides growing garden truck for the market, the colonies are raising oranges, almonds and other products for export.
"PUSSYFOOT" JOHNSON
GROANS WHEN AFRICA
BECOMES CHRISTIAN
Mr. "Pussyfoot" Johnson: just returned from a tour in England, South Africa, and Egypt, says the New York Sun and Globe, is more determined than ever to bring about universal prohibition, even if it costs him his remaining good eye.
Conditions on the island of Zanzibar and other South African colonies showed a steady tendency toward prohibition. Mr. Johnson declared, There were some 203,000 persons, white and black, in Zanzibar, Mr. Johnson said. Of this number 3,000 were Christians. They were the only drinkers, he said, slim it was illegal to sell liquor to any one but Christians. The number of converts was, therefore astonishing, since wherever a native wanted a drink body enough he simply went and got himself baptised. But Mr. Johnson felt that as soon as the Government allowed local option things would improve. The Baltic, he said, was to believe in the
NEGRO TENANT FARMER SHOT TO KILL AND SHOULD HAVE A MONUMENT
I do not consider it, necessary to make any preliminary observations on the importance of the above subject, or on the propriety of submitting my views on it to the public, I must straight to my subject; and, to begin with, I must say that I truly realize the magnitude of it and know also that it requires a man of greater ability and experience to do justice, to it. I want to lay strong emphasis at the start of this point that we are living in a material age quite, different from those of our fore-fathers with whom these customs and institutions originated consequently our present day influences and environments must differ from theirs. One can see no reason therefore in the assertion that what was good for them in those dark days must necessarily be good for us now, who have had the benefit of the Western civilization and the glorious light of Christianity in these modern times. It is a common place that since the advent of Christianity to our shores a transformation has taken place as to the mode of living, as also the way of thinking. What wisdom is there in it for us still to stick to some of these institutions which, having been given trial in our generation, have been unmittenable? One generation may believe what another may not, and this is influenced by conditions and surroundings as pointed out before. I say therefore that many of these customs and institutions are things of the past and must now be consigned to the limb of oblivion; but, falling this organization then must take place. I shall come to deal with this point specifically later on. But this must not be interpreted to or in any way to suggest, that I am an advocate of denationalization; far from it. All that I am seeking to show is that institutions and customs are not made to last forever, but to undergo changes as time and circumstances call for or dictate. History tells us how one nation borrowed from another culture and civilization. For instance, Greece, the mother of liberty and Art, owed its culture and knowledge to Egypt, where we are told learning first planted its foot. Greece drank deep and passed it on to Rome—the great law-giver of all nations—and from there civilization and culture spread to Western Europe and then on to India, China, Japan and right on back to us in some parts of Africa. From this we see clearly that imitation is the law of progress and therefore imitation is no sign of degradation or disgrace as a good many of our people are inclined to think. On the contrary it is a safe evidence of adaptability and versatility. Anyone therefore, who tells us in West Africa that because we imitate modern civilization we are denationalized must have a very poor knowledge of history. They say so with an inductive purpose to discourage us from still making good advancement towards modern civilization. I now come back to the point that some of our institutions are not good to be still retained by us. To take them and deal with them situation will not do here, owing to space consideration. I shall therefore only cite one or two instances. Now take, for instance, our native marriage question and examine it closely. We will find to what a great disadvantage our poor women folk are placed. The husband, thinking himself superior to the wife, uses the latter as a tool and easily gets out of her by mere captain. This is repugnant and revolting to all modern sense of decency, right, and propriety, needless to say the principles of Christianity which teach equality of husband and wife, the husband being only a primus inter pars. Then take also the law of succession, which it is obvious has worked much havoc in Famil land and other parts of the Gold Coast. Think also of the severe and unreasonable order a widow or widower has to pass through whenever a husband of wife is lost; (I refer

From the Richmond Planet
Joe Pullen, a colored tenant farmer residing at Drew, Mississippi, staged one of the most remarkable fights that has ever been recorded in this southern country of ours. He was not charged with any helnous crime, but seems to have been an industrious citizen, endowing to make an honest living. The charge against him was one in which a white citizen, who had called to collect a biff from Pullen, lost his life as a result of a disagreement.
The exact facts in the case are unknown and probably never will be given to the public. Buffice it to say that Joe Pullen, who was a "dead shot," both with a gun and a revolver, killed nine white men, who were seeking to kill him, and wounded nine others, finally yelping up his own life as a slight compensation for the havoc he had wrought in a days' battle. Two more white men are expected to die as a result of his death.
EX-TEACHER CALLED BY JAPAN'S REGENT TO HELM OF STATE
TOKIO, Jan. 1. - MISQUANT Kiego Kiyoura, President of the Privy Council, was summoned today, by Primes Regent Hirohito to form a Cabinet to succeed that of Premier Yamamoto, which resigned following the attempt last week to assassinate the Prince Regent.
From the humble post of schoolmaster to a barony and finally to the Premiership of Japan, the caretaker of Kiego Kiyoura reads like a work of fiction. He is more than 70 years old, having been born in 1880. He long held high honors in Japan, and, through his diplomatic work, has become favorably known in other capitals, than Tokio. His government activities began when he accepted a clerkship in a minor government bureau, later serving in clerical capacities in both the Home and Justice Ministries.
In the former he rose to the highest place, holding the portfolio of the department twice, in 1898-1900 and 1901-1903. Thence he transferred to the Department of Agriculture and Commerce, holding that portfolio until 1906, when he resigned. Kiyoura was one of the trusted lieutenants of the late Marshal Prince Yamagishi and received his barony in 1902 for services in connection with the conclusion of the Anglo-Japanese treaty. Since 1917 he has been President of the Privy Council.
MILLION DOLLARS AND MORE FOR NEGRO SCHOOLS
ATLANTA, Ga., Jan. 12.—What is believed to be the most elaborate and expensive Negro public school building program ever undertaken by any community is now nearing completion in this city. It embraces four magnificent new grammar schools, seating 800 to 1,000 each, and a high school seating 1,500, the five erected at a cost to date of $1,200,000, with more yet to be spent on finishing touches. These new schools are part of a general school building program involving a total of $8,800,000, and are in every sense equal to the best the city is erecting, representing the last word in construction and equipment. In addition to all the usual modern facilities, each is provided also with medical and dental clinics, where the pupils have the services of physician, dentist and nurse.
The high school, which is named for Booker T. Washington, will carry the regular academic curriculum and in addition will provide training in wood work, carpentry, drawing, auto mechanics, sheet metal, plaster and cement, tailoring, pressing, sewing, cooking, child care and teacher training. The purpose is to give to the population all-round training for life and fit them for useful and remunerative employment immediately on graduation. A director of vocational guidance helps further to this end by personal conferences, lectures, bulletins and luntern slides.
The Negro schools are sharing fully in the efforts of the administration to bring the city's public school system up to the highest standard of efficiency. Back of this building program is an interesting story of inter-racial cooperation. Atlanta having greatly outgrown its school system, several unsuccessful efforts were made to vote a bond issue for new buildings. It was found that the colored voters held the balance of power and had thrown it against the plan.
City officials asked white members of the local inter-racial committee why this was so. The latter arranged a conference with leading colored citizens and the question was passed to them. They promptly replied: "Why should we vote—take on ourselves when we have no assurance that we will get any of the benefits?"
The rest was easy. An agreement was readily reached that if they would help carry the next bond election, their schools should have approximately one-third of the proceeds. That agreement is now being carried out.
All of this is most unfortunate, but it shows that the better class of white people are right in their attitude towards the colored people, for the "worm will turn." Pullen held off the posse organized to capture him for more than seven hours. A machine gun was secured in an effort to capture this lone Negro. Ordinary discretion would have saved and prevented this useless sacrifice of human life.
Still it is now evident that even his enemies respect him in death. He sold his life an easily as possible and then "died with his boots on." These exhibitions of brute violence will not benefit the white folks or the colored ones. It is time to have an "Age of Pearson." Black men of the Pullen type should be encouraged and not exterminated. He was a tenant farmer. He was not a lawless character or a "boot-leger."
He has paid the price of his valor and bravery and he has "gone the way of all the earth."
RICHMOND, Va.—What is regarded as a very significant sign of the Negroes' political trend of mind is the great following lining up behind the proposition to form an organization to be known as the INDEPENDENT VOTERS OF AMERICA.
The first public notice of the movement was given to the press on September 25, 1922, when the following appeared:
"New Political Organization. There will be organized in this City (Richmond, Va.) in the near future what is to be known as the Independent Voters of America. This movement has no connection whatever with the tilt black Republican' movement."
This notice was given out by H. H. Price, of Richmond, Va., who has since then, been working steadily on the movement. He feels that the movement is well under way and there will soon be enough States in line to call the proposed conference, which is to be held in some Southern city, probably at Raleigh, N. C.
In discussing the matter a few days ago before a conference of representatives Mr. Price said:
We have been wring quietly on this proposition for more than a year and we are thoroughly convinced that the only remedy for disadvantages which affect our group is to form an independent organization. The President, in his recent message to Congress, clearly sustains this view, and made certain the attitude of the administration and the Republican party when he said: 'But it is well to recognize that these difficulties are to a large extent local problems which must be worked out by the mutual forbearance and human-kindness of each community. Such a method gives much more promise of a real remedy than outside interference.' Now, if this is the case, then it is high time for broader thoughts of serious things. And as I see it our only hope is to develop a local sentiment that will give us some influence with those who make and enforce the laws under which we must live and maintain our numerous and varied industries.
"The Republican party has had our loyal support for more than fifty years and the only reward is the placement of a few Negro politicians in some insignificant jobs, while the masses of Negroes continue to suffer dischievement and discriminations, even in the departments of the government itself. A colored man on the Republican National Committee for more than three years has not been able to assert any influence in behalf of the race, nor control affairs political, in the state he represents, is national committeeman, couldn't even land a little insignificant job for himself."
"Now let us face the matter squarely. If you are elected a delegate to the Republican national convention, and seated without a word of protest, how much good would it mean to the community in which you live when you return? None in the least. First because the dominant political organization in this community is not Republican and, secondly, because the national organization maintains a policy of non-interference. "The day has come and the hour is at hand when we must hit the independent trail. If these difficulties are ever overcome they are going to be overcome by both races finding some line of contact, with a common aim and interest, each giving and taking, finally eliminate the differences." It will be remembered: that Mr. Price was the independent nominee for Congress from the Third District of Virginia in 1909. There were four white men in the race also, and the count of the ballots showed him to be close to second place out of the five.
It is said that influences are at work to have the proposed conference held in one of the border states and thisigation may bring about a second conference in another section of the country.
Bill Framed to Cut Immigration Quota
(Lincoln News Service)
WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.—Of special interest to Negro wage-carners is the new immigration bill to further reduce European immigration to this country by lowering the quota of each country to 2 per cent, instead of three, as at present. The effect of this message will be encouraging to Negro workers, who hope to make more permanent their places in the industrial life of the nation.
Then again it may be that one reason why there is so much unemployment in Britain is that those who haven't anything to do can live without work on the money paid them by the government—On City (Pu.) Billboard.
"Lynching," as Theodore Roosevelt, Assistant Secretary of the Navy, states, has been a stealth in the nostrils of all liberty-loving, law-dabbing Americans. It is also true, as Col. Roosevelt asserts, that "there can be no compromise on the Klan," which "strikes at the root of Americanism."
But when Mr. Roosevelt recommends the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill to Negro voters as a remedy for both evils he is wide of the mark. The Dyer measure is political in origin and would have only a political effect if passed. When communities organize to commit and to conceal the perpetrators of crimes, the Federal Government is quite as powerless as State Governments to bring about prosecutions and convictions.
The best remedy for lynching and for the Klan, as the figures for 1923 demonstrate, is Negro migration. When Negro workmen began to leave for the North in large numbers there was a sudden decline. In mob murders in the South. Once the Negro realizes the possibilities of this economic weapon, and uses it to the full, he will exert a more powerful influence against nightriding than would be exerted by a dozen Federal statutes.
Just what the Dyer bill might be worth as a protection against lynching is accurately gauged by the impotence of the Fifteenth Amendment as an article of enfranchisement.
White Strikers Getting a Dose Such as Defenseless Negro Tenant Farmers Got in the Philips County Rioting
JUSTICE BLINDFOLDED
The Negro World has received the following release from the Press Service of the American Civil Liberties Union, in New York:
The conditions on which Vurlen Orr and Luther Wise, railway strikers, serving terms in the Arkansas state penal institution, for alleged sabotage, have been granted "Murroughs" by Governor Thomas C. McLaee, are characterized by the American Civil Liberties Union as "unprecedented in our labor history." The release of the two men was one of the points included in an agreement just reached at Harrison, Ark, between striking shopmen and the Missouri & North Arkansas Railroad; they were released on "furough" and will not get full pardons unless the terms of the agreement are kept by the Union.
"The holding of hostages by a state government," Prof. Harry F. Ward, chairman of the Civil Liberties Union, and certainly unprecedented, in our labor history.
"If the men are innocent, as the facts of their case indicate, they should be given full pardons. On what ground has their freedom been made dependent on the carrying out of a strike agreement? Assuming that the agreement were not adhered to, would Governor McKinley then jail two innocent men?
"Since when has a governor been given the right to barter with the freedom of human beings to force settlement of a strike? What ever agreement may be reached by the parties to a strike, which is a purely private quarrel, it should have no bearing on the case of men charged with a specific crime.
"Orr and Wise pleaded guilty because a mob—the same mob which had lynched B. C. Gregor the night before—was waiting outside the courthouse. Their sentences of seven to ten years would have been cut short long ago by any governor courageous enough to act on the simple and evident facts. Governor McKay has made himself virtually an agent of the railroad, and has condemned for months a shocking state of violence because it was organized in the railroad's interest."
Porto Ricans Seek Home Rule
SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, Jan. 9 (Associated Press).—A commission of top members of the Legislature, accompanied by Governor Horace M. Towner, sailed for the United States today. The commission will attempt to secure from Congress modifications of the organic law of the island. Composed of representatives of the three chief political parties, the commission is united in the idea of promoting home rule for Porto Rico.
—Editor Harry C. Smith and Alderman-Thomas Fleming, of Cleveland, will probably have Central avenues fixed up in large shape for the delegates and visitors who will look to that city early in June.

India to Continue Boycott Of British Goods
Bombay, Dec. 17. The Committee appointed, following the Delhi Congress resolution to determine the feasibility of encouraging Indian goods and boycotting British Empire goods in particular, has issued a report saying that all British Empire commodities cannot immediately be boycotted. It must be a gradual boycott, excepting articles necessary for health, education and certain industries. The report is of opinion that a complete boycott of Empire piecegoods and leather goods, cycles, motor-cars, provisions, furniture, glassware and cutlery, in possible, and that the import of liquors, spirits, tobacco and other luxuries could immediately be stopped. The Committee recommends house to house propaganda by village boycott committees and the use of Indian or non-British articles in preference to Empire goods.

fighting mad and protesting all of the time“against the sort,of gov-

administrator, civil; naval andLmilitary, has ‘tio respect for Negroes
or off-color people, atid tramples upon their rights and feelings with
brutal disregard of consequences. We found this so when we were
visiting -Mawaii and the Philippines some years ago, and fromthe
‘protests which*have since been constantly lodged against American
cvér-lorgship, we judge there has been no change for the’ better.
«Just now the ‘Filipinos are in revolt against Governor-General
Leonard Wood, declaring that “the theories and priftiples under-
dyingsiovernor Wood's actions are utterly repugnant to the policies
that .go to make lip the cornerstone of Philippine autonomous gov-

BACKWARD CONDITIONS IN BRITISH HONDURAS
There Are 44,500 Blacks to 500 Whites—Poor Schools and Practically No Development of Colony's Splendid Resources
BELIZE LIBERTY HALL
BY ISABELLE LAWRENCE
In compliance with a request from the Editor of the Negro World, I am giving a brief account of conditions as I see them in British Honduras, especially Belize.
British Honduras, situated in Central America, boasts of a population of 45,000. Of the 45,000 inhabitants there are about 500 white persons. The entire upkeep of the colony depends upon its exports, which consist of mahogany, cedar, logwood, chicle, banana, coconuts, etc.
Transportation is done chiefly by water, since the entire colony boasts of but one railway, twenty-five miles long. Timber has to be floated down stream, a distance of about fifty to 100 miles, raking from five days to two weeks, sometimes longer, according to the current. The colony is altogether undeveloped and abounds with wonderful natural beauties.
Helize, the chief town of British Honduras, has a population of 12,000, of whom about 250 are white persons. From the foregoing account I need
POOR MAN'S DOCTOR THOUSANDS GET WELL
From all over the world I get letters from people who were sick, telling me how much my Bulgarian Herb Tea has helped them.
It is the poor man's doctor because it is simple to prepare, its cost is very small and it surely does the work.
Don't feel like a victim of the hookworm. Get back your pep, vigor and energy.
Start right in now and take Bulgarian Tea. Yes sir, it will make you feel fine.
You know that you can not be happy when your blood is full of poison and disease.
Start in right now to become afraid and healthy. Don't wait. The rich, invigorating moss beowed from Bulgarian Herb Tea should make you feel too in thirty years younger.
See your drugstreet for a package today — tell him you want Bulgarian Herb Tea compound in the red and yellow box like no imitations. In case your doctor cannot supply you I will send you my large box postpaid for $1.00. Address me, H. H. Von Seilick, President, Marvel Products Company, Dept 100, Marvel Building, Pittsburgh, Pa.
not add that the system of representative government obtains here.
The public offices are not such as one sees in other British colonies. The public office, for instance, is a terribly unhygienic building, with dust and colwebs everywhere. The wonder is that the personnel of this office are able to use their brains, but, perhaps, the Negro's brain is peculiar to himself and can withstand all kinds and conditions of crises-crosses, made by the spider without any ill effect. His hardihood and virility, the accounts for no positive ill effects physically.
There are no government owned schools in Belling nor in the whole of British Honduras. A grant is given by the government to the churches, which own and operate the schools. The school children must pay a fee of five cents per week. In spite of this antiquated school fee condition, there is a system of compulsory education (?) for which, when violated, a penalty must be paid, subject to the discretion of the District Commissioner.
The average laborer receives $1 per day for his labor. Imported food-stuffs such as rice, flour, outmeal, macaroni, canned-meats and fish, are much more expensive here than they are in the cities in which they are manufactured.
Still Preparing for Death
On the whole, living conditions for the majority of our people here are deplorable. The churches are no better than elsewhere. The "shepherds" are forever on the job preparing the souls of their various flocks for the grim harvester. The young men of Bellis unfortunately have not joined forces with the U. N. L. A. in large enough numbers, for fear, I am told, of losing their fat (?) government envelopes at the end of the month. So, you see, the white man's bluff is still working strongly in some parts.
The Division here is doing, fairly good work and the officers and loyal members deserve commendation, for they have been working against fearful odds. Their Liberty Hall is being enlarged and renovated. A successful industrial exhibition was held there by the division on December 19-21. The Black Cross Nurses also held a baby health competition on December 21, the first of its kind held in British Honduras. The primary object of the baby health conference is to stimulate interest in child health, a sadly neglected affair, as attested by the expelling infant death rate.
With the dawning of the New Year,
dear friends, in the fold of the Universal Negro Improvement Association,
let us rededicate our lives to the cause that spells liberty, freedom and happiness. And to our dear friends outside of the fold, we say:
The object we have had in view
Must we again relate to you?
Well, the lifting up the pauper race
And ask if all you give is praise
To such a high and noble cause?
The join with willing heart and hand
The stalwart men and women grand,
Onward now, ye sons of Africa!
Rise to manhood, fame and duty,
"For jound day standa tip-toe now
Over the misty mountain's brow."

THE INDISPENSABLE WEEKLY
AN APPEAL TO REASON
By HUBERT J. COX
There was a time when constructive criticism was in order; then it was that no definite steps were taken to understand, say, how to overcome the handcuffs and obstacles found in the lives of Negro people the world over. Time has changed. It is not too much to expect criticism to be along new lines. Definite steps have been taken to understand ways and means contrived and now acted upon to erase hardcuffs and obstacles that stand in the way of Negro progress, wherever the need exists for changes and reforms in the interests of the people concerned. The Universal Negro Improvement Association is in a position, through the honesty of its efforts, to broadcast some astounding truths that cannot help showing up the strange contracts found in human nature.
A Determined Mind
Any man or body of men acting in the best interests of all parties concerned, adjusting, his or their plans to meet the personal wishes of individuals, is doomed to certain failure. If that were the only condition that had to be met a good deal of money, energy and material would be saved for other purposes. A determined mind discovers people who want things done; it also finds out that these same people stand in the way, holding up the work and contributing, sometimes with the best of intentions, against the successful end of the thing to be done. Stranger still is the fact that those people refuse to help after an opportunity has been given them by a favorable consideration of their views.
Gradations in Intelligence
Nature is not a composite of the various forms of life and material found in the world. Each portion of her vast empire represents the best in its particular line and scope. The variety is a pleasing ensemble of the scheme of creation. Likewise, there will never be a complete assent by any one group about and for the carrying out of any plan. The gradations in the intelligence of men, moving in harmony, give telling its full measure of usefulness. A strong leadership, a mass of followers, is the best background on which an enduring structure can be erected. However, subversion has taken such a strong, hold on people that they fall to be considerate of the aims and purposes, going so far in reactionary measures as to declare themselves anything but a part of what nature intended them to be in their own right and might.
Neutrality a Lle
After explanations have been given, statements investigated for the available proof, in hasty many people try leaving the wayward ones alone. Weak people are a drag on the strong ones; strong people are a menace to the weak ones. Neutrality is a lie. A decision for or against is the proper course. In other words, we are at the place when each unit counts in the upward and onward march to freedom of person, protection of property, pursuit of happiness, organized opinion through

BIG NEW PROGRAM FOR THE NEW YEAR COME AND HEAR
Information has reached us that several unscrupulous persons have been offering stocks for sale to members of our Association in Bogus Steamship Companies to run to Africa and the West Indies, as also stock in other Corporations chiefly in the Western, Mid-Western and Southern States. Please be warned that the U. N. I. A. has no connection with such persons, and divisions and members are requested to have such apprehended if they attempt to offer stock for sale at any meetings of the Organization under the guise of having authority from the Parent Body.
Two men from Chicago have been advertising themselves as Vice-Presidents of Divisions of the Association offering such stocks for sale, and a man in Florida. Hand them over to the police if they approach your Divisions.

Shirking a duty
Questions asked by people do two things. It shows their interest or curiosity on the one hand; on the other it shows intelligence and the desire to have someone else shoulder the workload. Shirking a duty is not common with our people, they require to be told to do it often, and why, when, how and where. This writer does not believe in hounding, narging or complaining. It is plain as daylight. I dislike this sort of writing more than you do. But the proper way is to find out what is to be done, then do it. He knows best to command who, can obey. Another thing, our general disposition is too even to justify the name shirker. All together, pull hard and swiftly against the hidden rocks in what used to be life's uncharted sea.
The Voice of the People
The press and its allied branches constitute a great institution for the preparation and dissemination of information hard to heat. Every community that has a small printing office must become a central figure in the new uplift work. The men who make, up our news articles, editors, books and special features, as a rule, are a body of clean and logical thinkers, high-minded, cultured and resourceful. They are in a position to interpret the needs of the hour with a sure opinion, based on their insight, experience, travel, understanding, spirit for co-operation, helpfulness and sincerity to an ideal. If there were no shortcomings in the moral fiber of our communities, if life in its various manifestations had failed to give man a free hand, all efforts would be useless in articulating the needs of the oppressed. On the contrary, we find each day new food for thought, new things to be done in a more efficient way; we see that all life radiates a persistent onward effort, inherent to itself, giving a more progressive spirit to the backward, also reaching out to distant lands where, perchance, perfection lies. The ultimate goal of the human family no man living will ever be able to determine. We can only keep going on, and on. In doing this, "we do not know in that day what we shall be like." We can be certain, however,

Failure a Heartache.
When a man falls, a party lays, an organization disbands, an enterprise or business goes into receivership or bankruptcy, only the people in the immediate guidance and on whose shoulders the trust was imposed know the heartache and the deathwound that has started. Far removed from the eye of mortal friends, relatives, and even those rallying to one's assistance is the gall, and wormwood that must be drunk by every man in the course of his natural life. We know, too well, that time calls for honest discontent, on which the future must hang, avoiding an far as possible negligence, attention, love of case that must be resolutely fought to gain a sure footing on the ever-changing stage. When failure comes, it is no time for sadness and folding of hands; it is no time to find someone to blame; rather it calls for all the courage, tact, initiative, interpid determination and iron will to start again and keep on. The spirit of the Western Hemisphere that does not acknowledge defeat is the greatest inheritance of the twentieth century. Every defeat when it must be faced is a course of training that will stand anyone in the ring for new conflicts, a guide and counsellor to avoid, at least, that old kind of error. We have come

to the place where errors will be leamed and failures avoided, because it is up to you and me to deliver the goods.
The New Outlook
The professions of medicine, law, theology, art, sculpture, music, literature and stage, serving their purposes, must make way, for or get in team work with economies, commerce, trade, business, agriculture, shipping, railroading, manufacture, production and invention. Everything counts in the world and it is for that reason that our one-sided development must change almost minutely, taking care that we extend ourselves in these new fields of wealth, position, influence and power. A mental revolution has taken place in the lives of colored people all over the world, and when the team work of brain and hands starts to make its force felt, mumps will chance, treaties will be rewritten, new understandings arrived at with the consent and approval of all the interested parties. These things are told to you because the confusion of not knowing what we are really after has been a way of escape for those finding it a means to their own self-interest.
Enthusiasm in Adventure
The Universal Negro Improvement Association marches on to its righteous objective undaunted, unafraid, unconquerable. It declares in language easy to understand its purpose and the scope of its work. It has the courage to dare; the enthusiasm to attain, the will and the people behind it to bring about a favorable acceptance of its high purposes. The appeal to reason goes forth in favor of those watching us more than in defense of its unique position.
12-Cent Tax on Dancing To Feed Berlin Poor
BERLIN, Jan. 8.—(By the Associate Press.)—Dancers in Berlin cabaret and restaurants are to one-step foot into the mouths of the poor and destitute.
Under a ruling of municipal authorities each dancer is to be taxed approximately 12 cents for the privilege of following about the melodies of the jazz orchestra, so that the revenue of each dancer will provide food for at least two empty stomachs a day. Relle workers estimate this revenue will feed from 15,000 to 13,000 persons now dependent upon charity.

THE MARCUS GARVEY APPEAL AND DEFENSE FUND The Expected First Blow Has Been Struck at the Race's Liberty
Everybody Must Subscribe Now to Test Whether the Black Man Can Obtain Justice
As was to be expected, Marcus Garvey has been found guilty by a jury of white men of using the United States mails to defraud.
Many believe that the charge was only a sham to get Garvey with the hope of destroying his work. The whole thing seems to be made up of an international plot which will shortly expose itself. Several Negro men and organizations have been parties to what some regard as a "frame-up," but Truth shall have a hearing.
An appeal must be taken to the highest courts of the land to further test justice; therefore, every Negro of loyalty and manhood is asked to subscribe to this fund.
The fight for Africa's liberty is just begun; let us all help.
Send in your subscription addressed to the Secretary, Marcus Garvey, Release Committee, 56 West 135th Street, New York City, N. Y.
I, MARCUS GARVEY., have appointed Mrs. Amy Jacques Garvey, Mr. William Sherrill and Mr. Clifford Bourne, as a committee to receive and disburse all moneys for my Appeal and Defense Fund. (Signed) MARCUS GARVEY,
June 21, 1923.

SUBSCRIBERS TO
SUBSCRIBERS TO DELEGATION FUND
DELEGATES TO AFRICA
THE FUND
At a meeting of the New York Local Division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association held at Library Hall a few weeks ago it was announced that a delegation from the association will leave shortly for Africa to visit several places in the interest of the great movement and the Negro peoples of the world.
The personnel of the delegation was named and evoked great enthusiasm and satisfaction.
The 1924 program of the association will be announced immediately on the return of the delegates from the motherland. All members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association are requested to be as conservative as possible in saving and preparing for the African repatriation boom of 1921-1925.

Mayor of Yonkers Talks Straight Talk
"The true goal of the New Yorker is to help stop posting upon the web to kill them up and to help persuade. A great many of the New Yorkers are afraid to take their own opinions and to realize their own opinions. A lot of real American citizens have not found themselves. When they do, they will people farther than it has in the past."

in his contact with society. First, it is a problem for mothers. The mother of the home should, so establish the principles of love, of kindness, justice and gentleness among her children that that home would always seem sweeter and more peaceful, than any other home. I contend that every home should be a Humane Society, with Love, Peace, Kindness, Justice and Fairplay as its guiding star.
At the International Humane Conference held in New York City last October, the Rev. E. Rivers, Earnwell, field worker of the American Human Education Society, presented a paper on "Humane. Work Among Colored People in the South," in which he said:
The school is a potent factor in our humane education. Our greatest handicap here is the lack of proper sympathy on the part of the teacher. The child is most wonderfully and beautifully responsive; the soil of its little heart and mind is so well prepared for the planting of the seeds of kindness that it only needs a little bit of sympathy and tact on the part of the teacher to bring the moral lessons to the child. The pupil should be taught that the dumb animals have rights to be respected; that in proportion as he is kind and thoughtful of the dumb he will be kind and thoughtful of the human.
Hithamio education should be taught as a fundamental principle of right living to every member of the Negro race. I confess that it is the fundamental need of all races if we are to live in this world as a civilized people among ourselves and, in association with the dumb creatures whom God has so graciously given to man for his comfort and help in so many ways. The Negro is very receptive of human education. He is naturally sympathetic and, responsive, and a message of love, of kindness, of justice, and tail play reaches the very core of his heart and helps him to hope for brighter things. Most of his cruelty is due to ignorance and thoughtlessness rather than to real meanness of heart or purpose. And you will realize that his early training, teaching, and examples did not contain much of love.
WHY NOT
The establishing of, human principles is a matter of education. The New York needs this education in his home, his church, his school life, and

Rebeldes, y gobiernoistas mejicanos, en poco gallarda pugna, comentan oficial y extensa y sonoramente en estos días la decision de Washington de vender armas al gobierno del presidente Obregón, como si se tratara de una batalla decisaiva que hubiera ganado uno de los bandos. El incidente es lamentable para Méjico; no digamos ya para obregonistas y huertistas. El gobierno, la revolución actual y, por ende, los destinos futuros del país misuno, aparecen según textos oficiales mejicanos decidiendose por el gloro que de a una plumada el secretario de estado de los Estados Unidos.
La Aurora de un Nuevo Dia Para la Tan Anhelada Patria
—Necesidad Imprecindible de la Unión de la Raza en
Beneficio General de Sus Mfembros—Requiriendo la
Cooperación Del Congreso de Los Estados Unidos y
de Los Parlamentos de Inglaterra y de Francia—
Esfuerzos en Pro de Mayor Unificación
Nuestro elemento adelanta en todas direcciones su propia causa de independencia durante este nuevo año. Los informes recibidos en las oficinas generales de nuestra organización nos satisfacen ampliamente de la nueva determinación de nuestro pueblo, para convertirse en una de las fuerzas independientes entre las razas y las naciones. Todo esto es alentador, pues demuestra mayor grado de adelanto sobre el letargo de la raza en los últimos diez años.
Juridicamente, al parecer por lo menos; nada hay que se oponga a la venta de armas de este gobierno al del presidente Obregón. Este ha sido reconocido por la Casa Blanca y nada más natural que un gobierno amigo autorice una operación de esta indole, destinada a que una administración domine a los perturbadores del orden. Legalmente, pues, el caso carece de importancia. De hecho la tiene decisiva porque presta al general Obregón recursos poderosos que le permitiritar combatar energicamente la revolución.
La madre patria empieza a darse cuenta de su posición entre las naciones del-universo; sus pueblos del norte, sur y este; sin dar explicación alguna, indican al aventurero y al agrestor, quienes por siglos y siglos han desyastado la tierra de sus antepasados, que es hora ya de corregir la práctica de su política. Cuando los nativos del continente toman la responsabilidad de disciplinar al intruso, nos colocan en posición en este hemsferio occidental con no otro deber que el de recurrir a su asistencia, lo cual hemos de-realizar a toda costa y con la mejor intención.
Esta se halia ahora en la misma posición en que los revolucionarios liberes cubanos que caudillara en 1916 el general José Miguel Gomez, se hallaron ante el apoyo de Washington al presidente Menocal. Prácticamente quedaron convertidos en enemigos de los Estados Unidos. Y el peso enorme de esta situación moral, más que la offensiva de las tropas leales al presidente cubano, acabó con la revuelta.
Acaba de conmemorarse ha poco el quincuagésimo noveno aniversario de la emancipación en Norte America y vemos al presente que varios millones de nuestro elemento, en poco mas de medio siglo se ha convertido en los verdaderos directores de los intereses generales de la raza. En el campo del arte, de la ciencia, de la industria y de la política, nuestro elemento en este país y en las antillas ocupa una posición de importancia y no vemos razón por la cual-estos dos elementos del hemisferio occidental reusen unirse a sus hermanos en Africa, en pro de su redención y del establecimiento de un gobierno para protección de todos.
No crecimos que los revolucionarios mejicanos, ni por supuesto el gobierno, se complazcan en comparar su caso actual con el de Cuba en 1916. Pero el hecho es inegable. La passion política de los candidatos presidenciales ha presentado a Méjico ante el mundo, como un país en que las revoluciones que se declara alientan el ideal vindicator de las libertades publicas, y los gobiernos que afirman mantener la normalidad constitucional contra el caudillaje político, están a merced del secretario de estado de Washington. Si este decide dejar ir armas al gobierno, la revolución es derrotada; si esta loga convencer al secretario de que no veida armas, el gobierno se derrumba.
La propaganda de seis años de nuestra organización hacia la unión de las unidades de la raza diseminadas por el universo no ha sido vana, pues existen millones en esta parte del globo con un espiritu de servicio hacia la madre patria. Semana tras semana docenas de hombres y mujeres progresistas de la raza, parten de este país y de las antillas con dirección a diferentes puntos de aquel continente, lo cual nos alienta en la esperanza de que en el transcurso del presente año se tomen medidas más prácticas y eficientes para el traslado de aquel elemento, industrioso y de buena voluntad que desee cooperar a su reconstrucción.
Los blancos y los negros quignes imparcialmente consideran el problema complejo de raza, encuentran solamente una solución, y esta es el que cada raza se desarrolla y evolucione en su propio medio ambiente. Tanto el asiatico como el europeo empieza a darse cuenta de la posibilidad de tal solución, y del mismo modo, debemos nosotros realizar que nuestra única esperanza de salvación descansa exclusivamente en la emancipación absoluta del continente africano. La batalla por el resurgimiento de los distintos grupos humanos se acrecienta de dia en dia; dentro de diez; cincuenta cien años más nueva historia será narrada, a quellos grupos sin preparación, quienes tal vez inconcientemente no hicieron esfuerzo alguno en tal dirección.
Mejico, el Méjico popular, la mama, la tuerzas productoras, no tiene interés en esta revolución ni lo de muestra tampoco por el gobierno. Esa es la mejor demostración de escepticismo que han sembrado al tanto años de agitaciones políticas, personalistas y sin principios. Es un dolor que en las alternativas de ellas la soberania de la república pierda ginones. Es es un incidente que no solo Méjico laumenta algún día, sino que todo nuestro mundo hispano debe deplorar y condenar desde ahora.—10 Prensa, N. Y.
La nacionalidad es la única protección de los pueblos, y la raza que se ve privada de tal protección, correrá el riesgo de verse sometida a esclavitud y servidumbre, en cuya lastimosa condición hemos estado por mas de tres siglos. Será para nuestra raza un día de gloria cuando sus hijos e hijas realizen el cumplimiento de su deber. Los reacciónarios quienes por varios años se han opuesto tenazmente al programa de nuestra organización, empiezan a cambiar de parecer; les vemos publicando manifestos en el corazón de Europa advocando la causa de la libertad de los pueblos africanos, cuya actitud nos llena de satisfacios completa.
Los Descubrimientos y la Ciencia
Los rayos X modernos van a decir dentro de poco el secreto de la tumba de triaje siglos del rey egipcio Tut-Ankh-Amen en el valle de los reyes, según se ha declarado por la comisión que preside el egiplogo Mr. Carter, sucesor del celebre Lord Carnarvon, que falleció el aljo pasado de una misteriosa infección contraida durante las excavaciones y que dio lugar a toda clase de teis religiosas.
En el periodo de seis años hemos despertado a nuestro clemento del letargo de tantos siglos; hemos encendido la antorcha de libertad y esta alumbra cada dia con mayor brillantez. y será simplemente una cuestión de tiempo cuando las naciones del universo realizen la imperiosa necesidad de la asignación de nuestro puesto en el sol político de la civilización contemporánea.
Mr. Howard Carter cree que la monia del rey est contenida en el sarcófago descubierto, pero con toda seguridad se emplearan los rayos X antes de remover la tapa del mismo. Carter espera poder abrir el sarcófago para mediados de mes. La tapa del sarcófago no se tocara hasta que las relujias de granito que protegen la urna no hayan sido completamente desmanteladas. Los trabajos conenzarán inmediatamente para temover las diferentes capas en que está encerrada la urna de piedra y que son de granito pintado en blanco y rojo.
Los miembros de la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra deben estar vanagloriados sobre los esfuerzos y realizaciones de la organización; el tiempo, la labor y el dinero invertidos no han sido en vano, pues pooo a poco vamos recogiendo su fruto beneficioso. Preparamos una petición la cual ha de ser endosada por seis millones de firmas, para ser presentada al Presidente y al Congreso de los Estados Unidos de America, solicitando la cooperación y asistencia necesarias para la realización de nuestro objetivo—nuestro nacionalismo en Africa.
America, Inglaterra y Francia, adeudan a nuestra raza tal cooperación en el establecimiento de su propia nacionalidad; cuando America piense en su presante gloria, debe recordar los sacrificios y sufrimientos de sus esclavos de doscientos cincuenta años; cuando Inglaterra piense en su gran imperialismo, debe recordar la contribución de los millones de negros en sus colonias, proveyendola con la rtqueza que colocó los pilares de su estructura imperial; y Francia no podra menos que refrescar su memoria con los servicios a ella rendidos por los nativos del Africa, tantas cuantas veces peligro su propia nacionalidad.
La salud del egipteologo ha comenzado a dar muestras de la tENSION a que ha estado sometido desde que se abrió por segunda vez la tumba. Sus amigos le dicen que debe preociparse de su salud y le recuerdan a ese efecto la muerte de lord Carnarvon, descubridor de la tumba y según los superciosios, caída bajo la nialdicion de los faraopos.
La cancilleria inglés admira quas las diferentes capturas de buques británicos por las autoridades de la prohibición en los Estados Unidos está caudando mucha aguijada y poniendo en peligro las negociaciones para el proyecto tratado sobre el trafico de liceos.
Los funcionarios dijeron que las mejores relaciones existen ahora entre Londres y Washington y que el tratado en perspectiva seria promo ratificado y puesto en vigor. Sin embargo ellos calificaron las continuas capturas de buques británicos como actos ilegales que han provocado considerable irritation en los circículos del gobierno británico. Este sentimiento de resentimiento, alegase, no se confina a Inglaterra sino que se propaga en todo el imperio británico.
Londres cree que las capturas no fueron ordenadas por Washington sino el resultado de celo de parte de los oficiales federales. Los funcionarios dicen que los dominios estan estudiando actualmente el tratado y hacen hincapie en que cualquiera miembro del parlamento en uno de los dominios impedir la ratificación del tratado. El tratado se refiere tanto a los dominios como a Inglaterra y si algunas de dichas posesiones lo desapueban. Inglaterra tendrá que rechazararlo.
Abogando Por Independencia
En una resolución conjunta presentada en la camara de diputados por el representante Randin de Mississippi, se pide que se otorgue la completa independencia a las islas Filipinas.
Y son varias las resoluciones que se han presentado en ese sentido lando en la camara como en el senado en las actuales sesiones, entre ellas la del senador democrata King, que pide la independencia mediata y la del representante republicano de Wisconsin Mr. Frear.
Ignorare el partido que tome sobre la materia el presidente Coolidge, quien se decía presentaria al Congreso un mensaje especial sobre el panto, a fin de que este cuerpo decidiera lo que creyera conveniente.
Por otra parte, el conissido residente señor Guevara en un informe vigoroso expuso ante el congreso so reciente los azones en que se funda para pedir tal independencia para el archipiélago, entre otras que más ganaran los Estados Unidos con una Filipinas independiente que con una Filipinas esca-vizada, en concepto de que así afirman su autoridad moral en los principios de la soberania popular en el archipiélago a la vez que el congreso consolidará la contienda en el depositala cuando promete al pueblo filipino en declaración solemne que la otergaria al cumplir los requisitos pantidos en la ley Jones, de decir que el pueblo filipino.
Nadie duda ya la capacidad de ese pueblo en el sentido indíduo en la resolución y los espíritus desinjados y que vean lejos en los Estados Unidos estan porque se requiere esa independencia, como la que comprobó por las recientes resoluciones presentado en el congreso. Cuando los respectivos congresos informen sobre estas resoluciones se presentan oportunidad a ambas clamitas para dar su opinión en la materia. Mientras tanto, los diputios, al ver que reconen cuanto han hecho por ellos los Estados Unidos en el camino por alto el objetivo de su lucha de hace lógos, que e la completa independencia.

GOVERNMENT BUDGETS IN SPLENDER SHAPE
Year Closed With Balance of $276,842,518 — Secretary Mellon Prodicts Prosperity for the Country in This Year
TAXATION TO BE CUT
WASHINGTON.—The calendar year 1923 was the best in the history of the United States Treasury department. When the books were balanced they showed an income during the calendar year of $1,164,905,600, which is $600,000,000 more than was received by the United States government in 1922. The expenditures for the calendar year were $2,888,063,082, which left a net balance to the credit of Uncle Sam of $278,822,518.
The increased receipts came from two sources—income taxes and tariff.
The revenue collected by the tariff at the customs houses for the calendar year, aggregated $382,380,000, which is $125,000,000 more than has ever been collected in the history of the United States by tariff: The tariff collections during the entire calendar year of 1923 averaged more than $1,500,000 a day.
The other large source of revenue was the income and profits tax. During the calendar year $1,568,698,442 was collected from this source, as compared with $1,501,604,092 for 1922. In sprucing of the showing of the year just closed find the prospects for the coming year: Secretary of the Treasury Melton said:
During the last year this country has made a remarkable recovery from a severe industrial depression. It has become increasingly evident that, with business on a sound footing and fairly balanced relating between industries, our own country can enjoy stability and a moderate degree of prosperity, even when unsatisfactory conditions prevail abroad. The result should not only inspire confidence for the future, but justifies the belief that the year immediately ahead of us will see continued progress, if the drag of an unsound basis of taxation is removed from business and industry.
"Much depends upon the continued nature of the country to keep the mineral house in order, holding down expenditures and following sound policies and making new regulations."
"The government has succeeded in closing the fiscal year 1923 with a surplus of about $310,000,000 above all expenditures chargeable against ordinary receipts, including the smoking fund and other debt retirement to watch the government's expansion under the sound policies of observing the budget and guidelines including the policies.
Enter the year 1923 to the Treasury Department to complete the annual budget for the fiscal year 1923.

apprentices to apprentices in simple or the financial industry. They had by special the appointment of the apprentices of the Ministry of Agriculture over 400,000,000 and the appointment of over 800,000,000 of War Savings collation. The year just closed but also witnessed the funding of the debt owed to this colony by Great Britain into blues; augmenting $1,000,000,000 with satisfactory arrangements for their gradual retirement.
"As a result of the present favorable condition of the government's finances, the Treasury has recommended a reduction of taxes." In the letter that the country should be relieved, so far as may be possible, of the excessive burden of taxation which has been borne so uncomplainingly during and after the war. The Treasury has accordingly recommended to Congress that legislation be enacted which will distribute the benefits of tax reduction among all classes of taxpayers and release for investment in productive, enterprise funds which are necessary for the country's expansion and future healthy development.
"I am convinced that, if the tax proposals are enacted into law and the sound policy of retrenchment in expenditures is continued, the coming year will witness a steady improvement in the favorable conditions which have already begun to make themselves felt, and this country will enjoy prosperity in 1924."
Farm Wages Higher in 1923 Than Since War Time
WASHINGTON.—Farmers were required to pay higher wages for farm labor during the last year than at any time since the peak of wages in 1928. The average monthly wage of farm hands in 1932, in addition to their board and lodging, was $33.18 a month. In 1914 the average monthly wage on the same basis was $21. Day wages for harvest labor, including board and lodging, were also higher in 1933 than in any previous year with the exception of 1920. The average daily wage to harvest hands, including board and lodging, last year was $2.45, as compared with $1.55 in 1914.

THE PEOPLE'S FORUM
Name and Race
Of the Negro
To the Editor or The Negro World:
Now, when thinking or speaking of treachery, stealth and chicanery, poor Jadas Iscariot, Benedict Arnold and Timothy Webster, generally came into our minds. But when using either of the historic three as a comparison, some of our modern so-called Negro leaders have them beat beyond death.
For instance, let's consider the arch trattor. He had been with his Master and seen many manifestations of His power! had seen Him heal the sick, cleanse ten leppers at one shot, open the eyes of the blind and raise the dead, Judas loved gold, and when the priests offered him good gold he saw himself in possession of it through treachery, but he hadn't dreamed of the son of God hopelessly bound or crucified. When the real truth dawned upon poor Judas he carried the stuff back; he wanted no gold, and when the priest refused it, poor fellow, he threw the mess away and went out into the night and committed suicide. Now the point of difference between these soundtracks,
is that these Negro leaders keep the gold to buy houses, lands and automobiles and would sell more Negroes to get more gold to buy more plunder. As a climax, I learn that, after having hartered their trust and prostituted their manhood, I learn that there are some left who, unable to find a purchaser, would dump the race inside overboard and henceforth be known as "Americans." The acme of nonnausea. This reminds me more of childish play than anything that has happened of late.
No; the Negro wants no change of name, but he demands a change of conditions. The old Negro is good enough for me. Should any one desire to know who the Negro is tell him that he is a man made in the image of God, just a little lower than the angels, with all of the potentialities of other men. So old that some of them are now before the historian had written his first stroke.
The sun of the Negro civilization was shining in all of his splendor before King Tut of Egypt reigned.
By the way, where is the Egyptian as a race? Where is the Assyrian, the Moor, the Persian, the Greek, Roman? This man—Negro is almost as mysterious as his God. He was first and shall be among the last. Yes; "Hesed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth."

Native South African Appeals for Nationhood
To the Editor of The Negro World:
Allow me source in your valuable paper to state how we are placed in the horizons by the council by laws. The best day to be holy to searching native homes, pulling them out of beds, investing men and women for passive beer, teens of native women and men for sentiments every Monday. We have no contempt in these in Christian laws of faithfulness and oppression by the whites.
All Negroes are that the whites are, wolves in sheep's clothing, our adversary.
With our aid we will come home, children of Ethiopia, to your mother land. We hope and pray to God for the Universal Negro Improvement Association to succeed building up nationality for the recognition of artifice. Your truth.

A Gary Preacher
Accepts Klan Money
A
A. ends the following news item to the Negro World, and says that Preacher McHenry gives the Klan the privilege of meeting in his Church:
"A great deal is being said, about Rev. McHenry, who recently accepted a $800 donation from the K. K. K. for his church.
"The Gary Hernitic citizens are up in arms against the reverend. A Gary Sun reporter interviewed Rev. McHenry and he declared that he did not know it was K. K. money until he had spent it.
"Whether or not he can make the Gary citizens believe this we do not know. The clergy of his denomination say that the right hand of fellowship must be taken from him, and that he is no longer fit to lead free people."
"The Bird Migration Of the Negro"
To the Editor of The Negro World:
There has always been prejudice and discrimination among races and there always will be as long as different races inhabit the earth. From the very dawn of history tales come down to use of these shiftings among the tribes of the earth. Abraham, with his people, left the land of the Challengers and pitched their tents in Taman. The Children of Israel turned their backs on the land of bondage and from the high lands of Central Asia came wave after wave, sweeping over continents, changing history in their course and breaking at last on the distant coast of the Atlantic.
tion of the Negro of the Southland.
I do not adobe the Negro to flood the over-crowded cities of the north and east, but they should buy tracts of land in different sectories where the whites are friendly toward them and build Negro cities and concentrate their minds on a national life for Negroes and think in straight lines with the different groups of Negroes all over the universe.
When the Negro realizes the value of freedom, when he has fully taken on the spirit of manhood, when he has returned to his motherland, he will stand in the regions of the Nile and kiss the Red, Black and Green, and say, "Africa, my Country, let it be always right, but, right or wrong, My Country."

Author of "Onward Christian Soldiers" Dead
LONDON, Jan. 2. The Rev. S. Barrenz-gould, famous author and composer of "Onward, Christian Soldiers," died today.
The Rev. Barrenz-gould was born in Exeter, North Devon, England January 25, 1834, the son of Edward and Charlotte Sophia Bond Barrenz-gould. He began his writing at the age of twenty and published works of fiction, history and folklore, as well as travel, religion and mythology. His last book, "A Demon Churchman," appeared last June.
He was for many years one of the most influential advocates of the High Church movement, and some of his pamphlets were powerful weapons in the cause. His sermons were equally effective.
In 1861 he became curate of Hertford, Yorkshire. Where he wrote his family's living, "Onward Christian Soldiers."
When Mr. Bering found wanted to have his now famous Bymn sing in his own church his bishop, who was of the Low Church, objected to the two last lines. "With the cross of Jesus going on before."
The author therefore changed the last line to "Left behind the door" which so angered the bishop that he displaced him from his place as vicar. Gledhstone at once presented him with the far better position at East Mersey in Essex.

THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JANUARY 19, 1924
History was made here this week, when a group of race financiers headed by W. H. C. Brown, investment banker of Newport, News, Va., and Washington, D. C.; Dr. A. J. Strong, treasurer of Metropolitan Bank of Norfolk, Va., one of the race's largest banks, and Dr. Norman Lassiter, pointen dentist and capitalist of Newport News, Va., from the Tidewater section of Virginia, purchased through sealed bids the entire town of Truxtun, Va. While the exact amount paid for this town could not be learned, it was hinted that the price was around $141,000.
Truxtun was owned by the United State Government and was operated through the United States Housing Corporation. It was built by the government during the war to house the colored workers at the navy yard at Portsmouth, Va. The government, in line with its policy of getting rid of its wartime activities, ordered the town, for sale, Sealed bids were received at the office of the Housing Corporation, here Wednesday, January 2. A number of bidders (mostly white) from Norfolk, Portsmouth and the Tidewater section presented their bids. At the time of opening the bids it was found that the only race bidders had topped the list, much to the surprise of the white bidders, who did not entertain the slightest idea that Negroes had enough money (especially since it was a cash proposition) to outbid them.
When the bidders assembled Wednesday afternoon to hear the report, the Housing Corporation Committee announced that race men had been awarded the property as the highest bidders.
Trustun, Va., was built by the Government exclusively for Negro workers. It is located just over the city line of Portsmouth, Va., within one mile of the U. S. Navy Yard. It is served by the Portsmouth electric line; railroad facilities are furnished by a belt road that connects with all the trunk lines entering Portsmouth and Norfolk.
The town is composed of 252 houses all modern; each house consists of five rooms, bath, hot water, electric lights and street sewers. Besides the above, each house has a large front yard for flowers and a back yard for a garden. In addition to the 252 houses already constructed, there are 70 vacant lots. The streets are wide and improved with hard gravel. In the middle of the streets are planted flowers and shrubbery. A modern ten-room brick school building is also, owned by the town. This school building is equipped to meet all community needs, having a spacious auditorium for concerts, picture shows and dances. The school rooms are of the most modern type known. Truxtun is one of the most beautiful spots in the Tidewater section. The town cost the Government over $1,000,000 to build.
Of the 253 houses there, 143 have been sold and are now occupied by colored citizens. The syndicate which now takes over these equities and properties, will at once reduce the Government purchase price, ranging from $1,000 to $2,600 by 25 per cent, to these home buyers. All of the 105 unsold houses will immediately be placed on the market on the basis of the game generous reductions. The payment of these houses will not exceed $1 per cent. a month. They have also arranged, at a cost of about $10,000, to paint all the houses constituting the town. It was authoritatively announced here that the new owners plan to develop a regular town and give the race an opportunity to govern itself. While Negro towns are not a new experiment the progress of Truxtus will be watched with interest.
It's easier to succeed by honesty than by dishonesty.
Farmers Going Bankrupt
WASHINGTON.—More than 81/2 per cent. of the farm owners in fifteen corn and wheat states lost their farms between 1920 and the spring of 1923. In addition to these, 15 per cent. of farm owners were insolvent, but permitted to remain on their land through the leniency of creditors.

Scientist Makes Wonderful Discovery-Says No Man Under 100 Years Should Feel Old
A new discovery is said to have been made by a scientific study of Serbian mountain people, who scientists say live longer than any other people. It is said the discovery should add many years to lives of people in all parts of the world and quickly restore many strength, youthful vigor, grace and beauty lost by neglect or abuse. Scientists agree that the secret of health and vigor lies in the internal glands and if these glands are stimulated and kept in normal activity, man might live forever and all-moose such as tired, worn-out feeling, weakness, inability, saline complexion, loss of weight, poor memory, irritability, scrawy skin, restlessness at night, pain, headache, malaise, depressedness, stiffness and disapper. The difficulty encountered by the medical world has been to find the right navigator for the glands. This new discovery is simple.

to the carrying of fire—Wonhyia, Wonhyia, Wonhyia and all the rest of it) and similarly when a first child is lost. All these appear more superstitions. Then, also, examine our funeral customs, and the nonsensical waste of time and money in connection therewith. Now, on examining our family life as a custom, what do we find? The father belongs to one family, and the wife and the children to another. What is more absurd than this? And this, in my opinion, has been one of the contributory causes, if not the night one, of many unhappy homes. And to what sequel does this lead? Very often the father, knowing that, according to custom, the wife and the children do not belong to his family, looks on them with suspicion. Such is the undesirable state of affairs in regard to our family life. Conscience itself revolts at such a thing, what logical reason, therefore, have we to allow such things to go on till the break of doomly? By observation it seems

that we still retain these institutions for the fear that non-conformity with them may bring evil to us. I say this may be a suitable creed for the illiterate and the unintelligent, but surely is no gospel for intelligent, vigorous, and aspirational minds. I have great respect for those of our institutions which do not in effect counteract Christion influences; and these we should retain and encourage. We live in an age in which there is a great demand for the spirit of enquiry and probing into things; no more taking things for granted now at this stage of the world's history. Our young and intelligent citizens must: keep up instructing and acquaint themselves with local problems and conditions; so an enable them to eliminate the essential from the non-essentials. The church; it appears, has been somewhat helpless in coming to the rescue of the country in this and situation of affairs. The state is the mother of the church, and, therefore, what may seem somewhat difficult and impracticable to the child may well be accomplished by the parent. These two are divine institutions for the correction of wrongs and the bettering of human society. I throw the suggestion to the Aborigines Rights Protection Society, and ask respectfully, that the tpocis form part of their discussions at the next conference with our natural rulers. If we must rise and win the admiration of others, as I am sure we are gradually but surely doing, it is proper that we should be making good our set-backs and disabilities which are daily impinging our political, social and moral progress and aspirations. I repeat at this stage of the world's history, nothing is too trifling to merit proper attention. And, allow me to say that very often what we consider unimportant are the most important. Says a learned doctor: "Elementary truths are the hardest of all to learn, unless we

have passed our childhood from atmosphere thoroughly impregnated with them, and then we imbibe them consciously, and and it difficult to perceive their difficulty." This supports the view why we should pay strict attention to elementary as well as principal things, to minor as well as to major questions and problems. Our political aims must not so engross our minds to the detriment of our social questions, they must not take the monopoly in our struggle for advancement, but both our efforts socially and politically must be given equal prominence. While the national Congress of British West Africa is engaged in the noble and unique call of watching our political interest, the Aborigines Rights Protection Society with our Natural Rights may give also our social questions a more serious consideration, and this to my mind will be a right move in the right direction and not until then will there be the full consciousness of a real advancement.
