The Negro World

The Indispensable Weekly The Voice of the Awakened Negro Negro World Reaching the Mass of Negroes The Best Advertising Medium A Newspaper Devoted Solely to the Interests of the Negro Race OLD LEADERS OF NEGRO RACE MUST GIVE WAY TO YOUTH FELLOWMEN OF THE NEGRO RACE, Greeting: As we enter upon the activities of the year 1924, we should be mindful of the many embarrassments, handicaps and pitfalls that we encountered during the past. With a knowledge of these before us, we should be better able to pilot ourselves successfully through the storms and dark clouds of the present year. If I were to advise what action we should take as a people during the current year to insure our success and higher development, I would emphatically say, "Get rid of as many of our old leaders as possible and develop in their places leaders from the youth of the race who have thoroughly learned their lessons of race handicap and oppression through the hard school of experience." Leaders Steeped in Hypocrisy Our old leaders are steeped in hypocrisy, fraud, deception and selfishness. In their outlook they represent nothing but themselves. They oppose men and measures, not because they believe it to be right, but because it seeks to protect them and their interests against whatsoever good such men and measures would advocate for the benefit of the masses. The unfortunate thing about Negro leadership is that it is self-appointed, and our people have not yet risen to the point where they can discriminate between appointed leadership and elected leadership. It is natural that the man who is selfish will appoint himself to the best position, when the best position should only be filled from among the people by the ablest man in their choice. We should, therefore, learn to so discriminate as to let self-appointed leaders realize that their reign is at an end. Assuming Leadership If we stop for a minute to study the leadership of the race, we will find that any Negro who assumes to write a letter to a newspaper or makes a statement that is published in some white journal, or who happens to be given some position by the white race, heralds himself as a leader and is generally accepted as such without question. It is that kind of leadership that has destroyed the race. If it continues, there will be a further infliction upon us of racial stagnation from which it will be hard for us to rise. At the present time, we find it very hard to tell which of the leaders we should follow, because none of them has any original program. The majority of them accept their programs from their patrons and from their own selfish surroundings. Like the self-seeking class of all ages, they always created themselves stumbling blocks in the way of all progressive movements. Opposing Jesus of Nazareth It was this class of leaders in the community that opposed Jesus, the Christ in His religion. The so-called doctors or learned men rejected the philosophy of Christ when He endeavored to teach it to the community. They dubbed Him as an impostor, an idiot and an impossible person. They could see in Him no good and in the doctrine He preached; they saw no promise, yet after nearly two thousand years, we find that this very class has become the leaders and teachers of Christianity. Our universities, seminaries, dioceses and churches are filled with our doctors of divinity, our doctors of law, our doctors of theology, who essay to lead in the teachings of the doctrine of Christ. Yet this same class declared Jesus to be a fraud and a fool in the days when He taught the great masses the way to NEW YORK, SATURDAY, JANUARY 26, 1924 RS OF NEGI T GIVE WAY OLD CROWD TOO SELFISH AND CRAFTY STEEPED IN HYPOCRISY, FRAUD, DECEPTION AND SELFISHNESS THE CLASS THAT REJECTED CHRIST REJECTED THE UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION THE MASSES SHALL RULE BY DETHRONING THE SELFISH GANG salvation. The above conceived class referred to, not only condemned Christ, but they said that His plea was to the ignorant people and that it was the illiterate rabble that applauded and followed Him. The Intelligence of the People If we were to pass judgment on the intelligence of the people who lived in the time of Christ, we would have to give due credit for intelligence to the rabble and great multitude who listened so attentively to the divine philosopher, and who acclaimed Him as He deliver His wonderful masterpiece in the Sermon on the Mount. The common, so-called illiterate people, who were able to understand the Sermon on the Mount, they who were able to fathom the depth of the philosophy of the man Jesus were far more educated and far more intelligent than the doctors who rejected Him. In the light of modern truths the philosophy of Jesus has been accepted by the intellectual world as the greatest moral, ethical force in the arrangement of human society. It took the learned class hundreds and thousands of years to find that out. It took the so-called despised rabble and illiterate only a few hours. In the same way that the so-called learned class rejected Christ and His Christianity in the early days, so do they continue to reject other reform movements tending to the good and welfare of the people. Great Reform Movement It is not necessary to enumerate them all, but we may make reference to the movement of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, which was rejected by the so-called learned of the Negro race when it was first enunciated. They, like the class that condemned Jesus, said that it was only the illiterate and foolish people who followed the Universal Negro Improvement Association; that its program was impossible; that its leadership was ignorant. Now we find the same learned class accepting in its entirety the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association as the doctors subsequently accepted Christianity. We have the so-called learned Dr. DuBois now advocating the African program, which he originally rejected. This is a fair indication of the hypocrisy and insincerity of a large number of our leaders. They oppose measures not because they belive it to be right, but because if they were to openly espouse them under the leadership of others, their personal interest and glory would not be realized. Wrecking the Negro Race It is this selfishness that may wreck the Negro race and that is why we call upon each and every Negro to take the reins into his own hands and see to it that our leaders are no longer appointed, but that they be elected by the popular voice. If the race is to advance toward the achievement of higher things, we will have to replace as above requested, the old leadership with the new. Kelley Miller, who is to hold his Sanhedrin in Chicago during next month, will no doubt offer an opportunity to the youth of the race to take over the reins of leadership. Surely, Professor Miller does not expect to be one of the leaders of the Sanhedrin after it has deliberated, and surely none of the old gang will expect to be among the leaders of the movement, for in such a case its purpose will be defeated. Nobody is going to follow the old gang of selfish sorcheads. They are too steeped in hypocrisy, graft and selfishness to be of any good to anybody else but themselves. They could not put a program before a country and expect the honest public and the race to support them. Although they take pride in referring to the masses as illiterate and ignorant, the masses have gotten to realize that the so-called learned men cannot exist without them. The Common People So often the Dr. Du Bois class refer to common people as illiterate and ignorant, and yet these so-called learned men could not exist for a day without the support of the masses. These people are not so ignorant after all, because they knew when to continue their support of leaders and when to draw away from them. Gradually they are drawing away from the old gang and the race will be leaderless if the honest, virgin youth do not step forth to steer the racial ship of state into the harbor of political and industrial security. Encouraging the Youth The Universal Negro Improvement Association encourages the youth of the race everywhere to rise to a sense of their responsibility. We can no longer risk our existence or our future to the tender mercies of the selfish crowd. They sell out too often; they recapitulate too often. They are spineless, characterless and helpless. Let us in this new year realize the truth of our position and readjust ourselves to meet the emergency. With very best wishes for your success, I have the honor to be. Your obedient servant, Universal Negro Improvement Association New York, January 22, 1924. P. S. Again I must emphasize that it is now compulsory for each and every member to pay the annual organization tax which became due since the first of January. This tax must be paid to the secretaries of the local divisions immediately and they in turn forward same to the Parent Body on their regular reports. The members should see to the carrying out of this constitutional obligation, and each division should call upon its secretary to produce a report of remittance to the Parent Body to cover the return of this annual tax. Every member should also secure a copy of the new constitution that is now in circulation. Ask your secretary to supply you with a copy. Only divisions that are financial and only members that are financial and who have paid up their annual tax will be granted privileges under the new program that is contemplated for this year and 1925. In whatsoever call the Association is to make for men and women of service during the anticipated boom of 1924, only those members who are from financial divisions will be considered eligible for first benefits, so that all members should see that their division is financial to the Parent Body, so as not to deprive them of any benefits that may accrue. M. G. second Diplomat to Foreign Countries SIR RICHARD TORITT SAILS FOR ENGLAND TO REPRESENT THE INTERESTS OF THE NEGRO PEOPLES OF THE WORLD IN THE ENGLISH CAPITAL WH Place the Truth About the African Nationalist Movement Before the British People A mass meeting was held at Liberty Hall, New York, on Sunday afternoon last, at 3:30 o'clock, for the purpose of introducing the Ambassador, who leaves today for England under the auspices of the Universal Negro Improvement Association to represent the interests of the Negro peoples of the world at the Court of St. James, London. The meeting was a very enthusiastic one, the choice by the President-General and Administrator of the Association of the Hon. Dr. Richard Hilton Tobitt, who has been knighted as Sir Richard, being admitted into the exclusive order of Knight-Commander of the Sublime Order of the Nile. He is a tried and trusted officer of the Association, being heartily endorsed by the great audience, judging from the ovation the appointee received as he was introduced With the President-General on the platform were Mrs. Garvey and officers of the Association. The Hon. Marcus Garvey, who presided over the meeting, was in excellent vein, and after an introductory speech in which he outlined the reason for the meeting and referred to the sending of the Ambassador to Great Britain as the recording of another milestone in the history of the race, he launched into a speech of much power, implicitly explaining what would be expected of the Association's representative, stressing the significance of the step and intimating that the appointment was but the forerunner of others of a similar nature. Now that the Labor Party was about to assume power in Great Britain, he said, he felt that the time was most propitious for the important step to be taken, certain as he was that the working man of Britain would, of necessity, lend a sympathetic car to the Negro's ambition to occupy his rightful place in the sun alongside of other races and peoples. Opening Remarks Addressing the meeting Mr. Garvey said: "We are met for a very important purpose. It is seldom that we meet for such an occasion. As the Universal Negro Improvement Association takes on its reality we will, from time to time, be confronted with important measures. We have not yet reached half way in the significance and importance of this great movement. Up to now very few Negroes and it may say very few members in the verbalization, preclude the potency, the significance, the true import of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Some join the Universal Negro Improvement Association because their friends are in it. Some join because it has somewhat a radical program, different from the old conservatism; some join because it is a change and some join because it is a break in the monetary of things, just as you would go to a new show, and so forth; some join for its death benefit, others for other reasons, but few seem to realize the full significance of this organization. It was impossible for those of us who founded the movement and who have held the movement in the early days to completely impress. building. You could not place before their minds the picture of this building through the architecture design. You would have to put up the building, and when they see it, then they would understand what you were talking about. So in the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Only a small percentage of the people can really imagine what we are talking about and what we are driving at. Gradually we will have to unfold there things before them. Keep in Close Communion "It is impossible for us to fully see the work of the association, the ideals of the association, if we do not keep in close communication with it. In close touch with it. But gradually as the years go by and as the association lifts itself from one stage to the other we will have to demonstrate a part of what we have been talking about for a long while. And this afternoon we are assembled here for the purpose of recording another milestone in the history of the Universal Xegro Improvement Association. We are assembled this afternoon to officially present to this association, and to explain to this association the scope of his work and his AVIS AUX ABONNES DU NEGRO WORLD DEUX PAGES seront ajoutées au Negro World, à partir du numéro du 2 fevrier a. c. Il y aura une page en français, éditée par le Rév. Théodore Stéphens. L'autre page sera publiée dans les intérêts des FEMMES.

I mean a representative with full powers to represent a country or a people in a foreign state; to negotiate with and in every way to protect and represent the interests of the state or people he is sent from. Such an ambassador we are going to send away to England, who will have this residence in England, live in London just like the ambassadors of the other governments and the other great races of the world. (Applause.) His business will be to study the political social, industrial and other traits of Great Britain and they affect the Negro race and to keep this organization informed just as how America sends an ambassador to England that may affect the interests of the American people and the American government and to keep America informed about all things that happen in Great Britain as touching the interests of America. That is what really an ambassador goes to another country for—to watch in that country the interests of the country that he joins from or goes from. We have already cut out one problem ambassador. We we now send a sound. The first resident ambassador in Europe that we out our war Sir Jeppe Adams, who is the ambassador of the Association to France. He lives permanently in Paris and he keeps the association informed on all things that happen within the French empire affecting the Netherlands. When we want to present anything before the French government, when we want to negotiate anything with the French government we do so through our resident ambassador in France. The other man we are to send say so on this occasion will be our ambassador in Great Britain, and he will negotiate in the interest of the association and represent the interests of all Nations in Great Britain. (Applause.) Propare for the Future "In time as we find it convenient and easy we find it possible we will have our ambassadors, as we told you from the very early days, but the time had not come the association had not grown to the state yet. Now it is grown to that state. The time is coming when we will have our ambassadors in Japan in Russia, in China, in Germany, in Italy and in all the big countries, so that the Negro can be represented as account everywhere (Applause). We are training diplomats and I trust that these ambassadors who represent the provisional government of Africa will pass the way when the real ambassadors will take up their residence at the respective courts. It is an indication of what is going to happen, and you young men, and you middled men, we want you to train yourselves for diplomatic service, because, like the great ambassadors who go from America to the courses of Europe and the great ambassadors who come from Europe, so will you be appointed according to your ability to represent the Negro race at the different national courts of the world." Hon. Mr. Carter Speaks Hon. G. E. Carterather addressed the meeting, giving a short, well reasoned talk on opportunity. He disagreed with the dictum, he said, that opportunity knocked at the door but once. Opportunities come every day, and it was for men to prepare themselves to take advantage of the opportunities when they came. Sir J. O'Meally Sir James O'Meally, High Commissioner General, followed. He delivered a attiring address, taking as his subject: 'And I say truly that, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came, they might have THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JANUARY 26, 1984 had the opportunity, to have returned," plause,) What do I mean by an ambassador "Do Not Forget" was the theme of his discourse. THE PRESIDENT-GENERAL'S ADDRESS The President-General then again addressed the gathering. Instructing the officers of the association to go through-the audience, while he spoke, and lift a collection towards defraying the expenses which will be incurred in sending the ambassador to England, he explained that it was more difficult to establish a government than to run a government. "Two cannot tax anybody," he said; "we cannot put anybody in jail; we can only appeal to the good will" of the members, followers and sympathizers of the organization. If the President of the United States of America were sending an ambassador to a foreign country, all he would have to do would be to instruct the Secretary of the Treasury to pay the bill—and the requisite funds would be there, collected by the machinery of government from the good and the bad, the unwilling and the willing. A very literal response to the appeal was given. A Propitious Time "We are sending out an ambassador to Great Britain: he continued, 'And I am glad that he is going at this time, because things look very favorable within the British Empire at this time. There is going to be a Labor government in Britain. The working people of Britain we are expecting to be in power, and the next Premier of England is expected to be a working man, who naturally appreciates the position of the poor, the weak and the defenseless, because he himself was a part of that great army of men and women. I understand that Ramsay Macdonald is slated to be the next Premier of Great Britain. A Labor government is bound to be more favorably disposed towards the aspirations of weaker and downtrodden peoples than a Tory government could be, than a Whig government could be. So that I feel sure our ambassador will be received in England in good and favorable circumstances. The association had many friends in the Labor party of England, and I feel sure when the time comes for approach to the British Parliament for certain conditions that we will have able advocates as far as our African program goes. Petition for Parliament "Our Ambassador will be charged to carry out certain instructions. Among them will be the seer to the presentation before the British Parliament of a petition similar to the petition that we are now running in the United States of America to be presented to the Congress and to the President asking her friendly cooperation in carrying our nationalist program for Africa. We are simulating in the United States of America a petition with six million names to be presented to the Congress asking the American Government to treat with favor the plan of the association during 1924, so all the Negotiation the British Empire are to sign a petition that will be presented to the British Parliament asking for similar co-operation. Our Ambassador will be charged with the duty of creating that sentiment in the Great Britain, in Parliament and among the category of Great Britain as to urge favourable action from Great Britain in the matter when we have asked their assistance." After referring to the practice among the great nations of sending statement to foreign countries to create favorable sentiment, as witness the recent visit of David Lloyd George from England to this country, of Briand of France a couple of years ago, and of Clemente, Mr. Garvey observed: "If you can convince the English working man that he has no cause for complaint against the Negro it would be impossible for any government in Great Britain to do anything that would affect the interests of Negroes, because These Negroes could always appeal to the sentiment created among the people who make up that government to prevent the government from doing that thing, if it is outrageous. Now we are endeavouring to develop as a free and independent power in Africa. If France is not disposed of England is not disposed favorably toward that, it is most likely they will endeavor to oppose the realization of it even to the extent of war. But England cannot go to war if the English working man refuses to go to war. England cannot go to war if the sentiment of her population is against war. It is our duty, therefore, to so create sentiment in England, France and other countries that when we strikes out for our freedom they will not be able by the force of government to prevent us from realizing our object." Conditions to Be Remedied Referring to his travels in England and the continent of Europe, Mr. Garviey said he was struck whilst in England to see stationed in London men and institutions for safeguarding the interests of every people on earth except the Negro, and he knew that hundreds of Negroes, American, West Indian and African, had died in England because of want and because of the lack of interest in the Negro who happened to find himself a stranger in a strange land. The same conditions he saw in England were duplicated in France. Everybody was represented and had some one to help him and protect him except the Negro, and he knew that under the same circumstances DR.

UNDER THE SPOTLIGHT Crusading Against Garveyism in America and Endorsing Garveyism in Africa Is Very Unconvincing An article from the pen of Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois, the quick-charge artist of the National Association for the Advancement of certain colored People, which appeared in the supplement to the African World, in its October 6 number, is apparently proving as perplexing to thinking Africans at home as have the learned doctor's somersaults consulted his brethren abroad—in America. The Gold Coast leader, in its issue of December 1 last, under "Editorial Notes," naively expresses its pleasure that Dr. Du Bois has, if oul momentarily, turned from his crusade against Garveyism to "recognize the essential problem that Marcus Garvey started to solve in his own way." The devious ways the "crusaders" tread, we would warn our esteemed contemporary, are among the uncharted regions of the earth, and, for example, we predict many sleepy nights for the unfortunate editor of the Gold Coast Leader to whose lot it may fall in the near future to discern a shadow of sinitude between the doctor's mouthings in the Motherland, Africa, even at this plement, and his post-grandial utterances before his co-crusaders, in tolerant America two months hence. stances and conditions many died in France because of want. The Association's Ambassador would be the friend in England of all Negroes and would seek to protect and help them as far as lay in his power. The remainder of Mr. Garvey's speech was devoted to a detailed explanation of the duties of the Ambassador and the methods he would be expected to use. Dr. Tobitt Introduced He then introduced Hon. R. H. Tobitt to the audience, stating that he was convinced that Dr. Tobitt was eminently fitted for the post. His loyalty and devotion to the cause had undergone a severe test, and his (the speaker's) appreciation of Dr. Tobitt's educational ability and his knowledge of things within the British Empire also dictated the choice. Dr. Tobitt, who was received with applause, in a neat speech thanked the President-General and the Association for the great honor which he felt had been done him in appointing him to such an important post, which, perhaps, a man of greater ability might find it difficult to fill satisfactorily. So far as his determination to serve his people was concerned, however, he felt he was safe in accepting the position, and he would be faithful unto death. He reviewed his connection with the Association, which he had served joyfully, at times under, very serious handicaps, and salo, so felt very greatly encouraged to find that his efforts had been appreciated in this signal manner. "I thank you for the confidence you have placed in me," he concluded. "It will strengthen me to give greater service and it shall buoy me up in the hour of trial; it shall sustain me in the hour of difficulty, and with our great motto before me, 'One-God, One Alm, One Destiny.' God being my helper, you shall never be disappointed." DR.

The Gold Coast Leader Comments + follows: Dr. DuPuis, the Editor of the Classi- the well-known New York Journal, has a remarkable article on the Third Pan-African Congress in the October 6 number of the Supplement to the African World. He tells us that the Third Congress will hold two sessions this year, one in London and one in Lisbon, and he denies the early struggles of the attempt of a per- mian organization in respect of the aims of the Congress. He states that in America the Pan-African Movement was fostered by the "National Asso- sociation for the Advancement of Colored People" who helped to raise funds to finance the first and second Con- gresses. And now comes an important and authoritative statement from Dr. DuPuis, which to us is of great interest. He says: "This Association, however, is primarily, although not exclusively, interested in the local American race problems and the Board of Directors did not feel that they could do any- thing further for the Pan-African movement except in a small way." We have here on the highest authority then that the work of the "National Association for the Advancement of Colored People" is to a very large extent, provincial and, local being concerned principally with American race problems. What those problems are, are soon and easily stated: hunching, segregation, peonage, and other political and social discriminations make up the sum total. The "National Association for the Advancement of Colored People" had it appears, for a number of years been pegging at these problems, without making much headway. There arose four or five years ago another movement under the leadership of Marion Garvey, which book in the whole African Race problem with the distinct and hopeful object of influencing world opinion in favor of the World Order and the affairs of men. Although the ROLAND HAYES' RECITAL A third concert will be given by Roland Hayes, the celebrated tenor, who will shortly afterward call for Europe to fulfill numerous engagements previously contracted for. He will appear at Carnegie Hall on Tuesday afternoon, February 8. The America tour now ending has shown that America will continue to hold the singing of Roland Hayes in the high esteem which has been the rule in Europe for the last three seasons. His appearances in each city, in the East, West of South have been met with the same wonderment, keen enjoyment and superlative praise, alike in the matter of beauty of tone, nobility of interpretation, or perfection of technique. Whether a French song, a German lied, an eighteenth century Italian air or a spiritual of his own race, is on his program his singing of it proves a work of art in itself.

And yet, it appears that a highly organized culture has been waged by a certain class of Africans in America against the work of Marques Garvey for the race; and we should have preferred to know that by DuBois, though not in as mythic, was not distilled in opposition. For we note that Dr. DuBois now acknowledges that there are several hundred millions of African descent who have certain definite and pressing problems in common. And according to him these problem conversations the questions "Are Negroes to be considered as human beings potentially the equals of other human beings or are they to form a permanently inferior class?" We are pleased Dr. DuBois recognizes the essential problem which is the very problem that Marcus Garvey started to solve in his own way, Meanwhile, Marcus Garvey is for the moment defending his liberty; but the problem remains, and the question is whether Africans the world over can rise to the occasion, sink all personal questions and quibbles, and attend to the great constructive work before them. For, according to Dr. DuBois: "For the good of the whole world it is necessary that this fundamental question and other questions arising from it should be settled at the earliest possible moment." He continues: "The economic and educational problems of the world, these problems of peace, war, government and nationalhood depend upon the future status of black men and other colored people in the world." It is strange that many should seek the problem in that same light, and it is heard that all Africans will sink their differences and put their shoulders to the wheel in solving it.

OT Paramount The Popular Race Record Shooting Mobocrats by Negro Victims Growing (From the Kansas City Call) It is a serious matter that Nessens do not believe they will get justice in the court. The country of the State depends upon the faith of even the most old. Joe Pulkin, the Negro trust attorney for Mississippi, chose to kill them and the land rather than have it buried as adjudicated in the court. They is it indeed now the right able wrong of the matter. Men have had civilization has been set back, but no good done. Where men have not consoled in the laws they fall into their own might. Why Nessens could console in a Mississippi court? But the motion cannot afford to lage it presumptively thus taken over the jurisdiction. The California killing is worse than that in Michigan. Jeremiah was not even accused of crime, unless it is a crime to live. His confidence in the protection of the law was all-founded. When men can no longer trust the authorities, they choose for their protectors, they must protect their lives and they become aggressors. The nation cannot afford such a breaking up into individual and group welfare. Society is powerful enough to be just America, which helped stop puffless might in Europe, should follow the dictates of its conscience at home. Botton Hood was a symptom of his time. Securities of opression always bring about their own destruction. The dominion majority cannot afford to be in the wrong.

C. not because we are black; it is not because we are of this varied hue that the world despises us. It is because the world knows that the Negro has made absolutely no independent contribution to civilization and to the world." Mr. Garvey vehemently denounced the course of action which was being pursued by men like Robert Abbott, of Chicago, and Webb Johnson, of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, in their political efforts to ameliorate the condition of the race in America, characterizing it as a foolish attempt to antagonize the white race on whom the Negro was at the present time dependent for his existence, which would ultimately be about a situation on which world-spread economism run for the race. The other speakers were Hon. G. E. Carter, Hon. Rudolph Smith and Hon. E. H. Foley. following is the text of the speech HON MARCUS GARVEY'S SPEECH HON. MARCUS GARVEY'S SPEECH Saying that the object "The prejudice of the Negro in Modern Civilization" My Garvey said: "The prejudice of man is marked by what he has accomplished. The world prejudice races and nations by what they have done. Modern civilization is very exciting. It divides races and nations into groups. The progressive groups this honor and respect; the non progressive groups are despised, ignored and in many cases rejected. Among the despised and rejected groups of humanity we have the Negro standing out prominently, probably he is the most rejected of all the despised and rejected groups. The question is, why? And the world answers, because the Negro has done nothing, has been ignored. It is all well for race to differ. It is all well for believing in the blood jersey of him or her. When we come to a crisis of the human problem in the intercession to today we realize that we need to not regarded and respected and legitimated except that our own prejudices progress. To treat others what I had a privilege for the Negro is klecked and to about all its pages of the world because he represents nothing more than save, he represents nothing that he has of himself contributed to modern civilization. Now I am making that positive statement so that my mind and the mind of the University of Negro Improvement Ascend, cannot be mistaken. No Permanent Contribution Around the University of Negro Progress Association I of myself, admit that the Negro has made no independent contribution to modern civilization and it is because of that that he becomes the origin of the world. He has become the devised environment of all races and nations. Tell us why we represent that environment. Tell me that progress we represent is entirely and completely in our hands. I dare any Negro in the world to show me in twentieth century civilization any progress that he has made that is permanent, from his own occupation and from his own efforts. That is the use of the pledge posted upon us by the great races and nations in the world. Until the Negro makes such an independent contribution, until the Negro makes such an independent progress which stands purely demonstrable, he will never be able to lift himself in the appreciation of the world either then where he is at the present time. "And that it was the Universal Negro Improvement Association struggles forward for this higher accomplishment. That is why the Universal Negro Improvement Association adopts the high goal of the founding and the establishing of a nation to the Negro race out of which they will build a structure and contribute a civilization of their own. The vigorous Negro will tell you, I am educated, I represent the highest in modern intelligence; I am a graduate of the best schools and colleges, and universities of America, of Europe and other parts of the world. How dare you say that I have made no progress? The conceived financier of the Negro race will say, How dare you say I have made no progress when I represent in the banking institutions of my race so many millions of dollars, when the race represents so much property? The average, Negro will say, How dare you say we have made no progress, we have made no contribution, when I have my home, when I have reserved my family, when I am much certain money which I have in the bank? How dare you say I have made no program? And the answer of the Universal Negro Improvement Association in to the Negro that there is no progress that you have made, there is no state or condition you are in at the present time, that cannot be THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JANUARY 24, 1824 denied you and taken away from you in twenty-four hours by those who have made it possible for you to represent such a state or such a condition or such a progress. Living on Borrowed Goods "The Negro is living on borrowed goods. The Negro is but consuming and using that which someone else has contributed to the world for his own comfort, for his own happiness and to satisfy his own desires. So long as you wear the clothes of your neighbor, you are still exposed to nakedness, because that neighbor may ask you at any time to return that which you borrowed. The Negro at the present time is wearing the garment of civilization of the other fellow and so long as the other fellow is disposed to allow you to wear that garment you may be able to demonstrate your progress, but when that fellow calls upon you to restore that garment you stand as naked in the world as you ever were. It is that nakedness of achievement that causes the white race and the other races of the world to despise the Negro at this time. It is not because of your color, it is not because we are black. It is not because we are of this varied hue that the world deplores us. The world despises the Negro because the world knows that the Negro has made absolutely no independent contribution to civilization and to the world. The world knows that the Negro is a pariah and a consumer in another man's civilization. And if I give you my clothes to wear, you will not expect that; I will have as much respect for you as if you had on your own garment. (Applause.) Do Not Ape So long, so long as we continue to see this white man in this white man's civilization, and he is intelligent enough to know what he has contributed to the world, he has contributed everything we use here, everything we consume. And you doubt it. Let Ellison turn off his electric light and we are in darkness in Liberty Hall in two minutes. Let the white architect out of where mind modern white architecture was created, tear down Liberty Hall and say, It is the creation of the white man's mind, it is the white man's contribution of architecture of the world, and you and I will be exposed to God's heaven. Let the white man come to the door and call Garvey's bluff because he talks too much about the success and progress of the Negro, and in a few minutes the white man will have Marcus Garvey naked even as he came into the world, will have Negro in here naked. He will say, Garvey, I have contributed to the world the system and the pattern of clothes that you wear, Garvey, you have on a dress coat; take it off. The pattern is mine? And I will have to take it off, because I could find no reason to keep it on. Also, Garvey, you wear a shirt, it is the style of my earl which I contributed to my civilization. Take it off Garvey, you have on pants that are my contribution to civilization. Take them off. And in a few minutes Negro man and woman in the building would stand naked before the white man's civilization as God Almighty created you from the time of Adam and Live up to present You and I will be in the same position of the ancient grand parent of ones who was picked up in Africa three hundred years ago with a naked body and brought across the Atlantic to work as a slave in the Western World for three hundred years. Yog and I have made absolutely no improvement upon ourselves as a race since the first slave was brought into the Western World three hundred years ago. That is how the Negro stands now in comparison with other races and nations. Segregating the Negro in the North Every race has a culture of unknown has its own civilization, whether it be China, whether it be Japan, whether it be the countries of Asia. Every one of them has its own contribution to civilization, its culture and customs, and each and every one of them feels happy over their own ideals. The Easterner feels happy with his turban, his fox and his flowing garment. The white man feels satisfied, and proud with the garin in which we are now clothing which we have borrowed from him. The Negro will be proud of its hardness. That is our condition in the world today. And why? The white man kills the Negro around in the South, the white man jumps the Negro in the South and the white man is now seeking to segregate the Negro in the North. There is now an organized campion of segregation all over the North that is sweeping to the Northwest right through Maryland. There is now an action going on in Maryland to Earth, segregate the Negroes of Maryland and to keep them out of close proximity to the white man's settlements and white sections of the community. The same thing is now being started in New York. There is a conference to be held between the Northern real estate men to timcrow and segregate the Negroer in the North just as they are doing in the South, because they claim that whereover the Negro moves there is created a depreciation in property value, and because of that no white community in the North is going to further tolerate the living of Negroes in white districts. The Negro's Poverty "Do you know what that is? I say not, because of your color, but because of your poverty. Because of your poverty in civilization, in your contribution to civilization. Even the Jew has contributed something to civilization. He has the power of the money bag, he has contributed something that the world wants. If you have nothing that the world wants, you are a poor thing in the world. The world does not think of people who have nothing. The world does not count people who have nothing. The Jew has something—money. The Italian has government and power. The Anglo-Saxon has government and power. The Chinese represent government and power. The Japanese represent government and power. Everybody remembers these people. The Negro represents nothing and nobody remembers the Negro until he comes in contact with somebody. Listen: The white man does not see a Jew before he thinks of and remembers him. The white man only wants to think of money and the Jew comes up to him. When the white man wants money he is bound to know the Jew lives, because the Jew has the money bag. Therefore, the white man cannot think of money without thinking of the Jew. The white man if, he thinks, of world conquest, cannot think of it without taking into consideration the great powers that rule the world. Therefore, he thinks of the Englishman, the Frenchman, the Italian. The white man cannot think of traveling East without thinking of Japan because the Japanese race stands as guardians of the East. But nobody needs to think of the Negro, because the Negro has nothing that anybody wants. We have not a culture that the other people want, we have not a civilization that the other people want, nothing material the other people want except our cheap labor. When the white man thinks of somebody that can be exploited and robbed, that is the only time he thinks of the Negro, somebody to trample on, to kick around. When anyone wants to show their superiority in the world, they think of the Negro, the footstool, on which they rise. So long as we remain in the condition, so long as we remain in that state, so long will we be Jim Crowed and segregated, kicked and tossed about not only by America, but by all the other nations and races of the world. Build an Empire Hence the Universal Negro Inprovement Association says the time has come for the Necke to make it independent contribution. We are going to 'yoke' our contribution on through singing and praying, but we are going to make our contribution through the building up of one of the greatest nations and empire in the world. (Applause.) That is what the Universal Negro Improvement Association is endeavoring to do. And when you have laid successfully the foundation of government, when you have built successfully the pillars of emperance there will be no more representative ordinance, there will be no more on growing young Necke, there will be no more disrespect shown to us because of our face or because of our color. The white man limpross us on the railroad that runs from New Orleans to New York because he knows that all the railroad systems if he would belong to him and the others man. And, therefore, brother, you do n't think I am going to give you the kind of accommodation in my house that is going to make you overexcessive and the time if you can't given the in ailment to me some of the time. I may accommodate you any but if you come too often I am good to him the door in your face except you can return the compliment except you can invite me to your house and treat me in like manner. You don't expect that you will come to my home from it in any to December and get always with a like that. I am no tool to the disease accommodating you always create you cushioned seats and me things to get and drink and you will not return the compliment. You are crazy if you think I am such a fool. And you are crazy if you think the white man is such a fool to accommodate the Necke all the time when he knows the Necke has nothing to give in return. The white man accommodates the other white men, the 'Englishman's Freeในman' and the Italian because he knows they can return the compliment. The white man is even willing to be most hospitable to the yellow man of Asia, because he knows the yellow man can return the compliment. But the white man knows the Negro has no compliment to return, therefore he does not care to be treated the Necke. When you and I represent a civilization with all the comforts with all those things that are necessary for human comfort as the green races do so that very hour the other races and nations of the world will change their attitude and disposition towards us. Last Happy Experience That is the appeal that the Universal Negro Improvement Association is making to the world of Negroes to get up and do. Depending on the white man for another century, we are but depending on our doom. I am only sorry time will not permit me to elaborate because I desire to give some of my time to the Ambassador to England, but I would like to draw a picture of America in another short while, because in another short while America and the Western world and the white world will be a hard place for Negroes to indulence in. We are now undergoing our last happy experience in America. In another ten or twenty years that condition that we have been existing under will have passed away for a new condition. We are facing economic starvation in America, in another five, ten, twenty or thirty years. The readjustment of the world, as I have often said, is going to bring about an economic, industrial stagnation in America that is going to reduce the Negro to his last position in this nation. What a Frank White Man-Boy "I have in my possession a letter, one out of hundreds, written by one of the biggest men in this country, a white- man, in aguer to certain frank question I asked him on the Negro question in America and the world. "To me such a man is one of the Negro's best friends. But some Negroes would not agree with me in that. They would regard him as they regard the Ku Klux Klan. I regard any man who is inest enough to tell me the truth, not only as my friend, but as a person to be respected. I respect and honor the man who tells the truth. As I said before, I hate and despise the liar, whether he comes in white or black. This white man was honest enough to tell me this in answer to certain queries I placed before him: Yes, the Negro may find an existence alongside of the white man in America for another generation or two, providing he keeps his place. He went on to say what he meant by 'keeping his place.' We are willing, he said, to tolerate the Negro as a laborer, and we will even allow him to be a member of the trades. He may be a bricklayer, he may be a mason, he may be a carpenter, if he belongs to disorganized labor. He may be a teacher, a doctor, he may be a preacher among his own people so long as he does not put on airs. So long as he will confine himself in these positions and as outlined and will continue to be meek, humble and servile without any desire to take part in politics and become a part of government he will even have the protection of the white man for another generation or two. But if he attempts to put on airs and to do a place in government, it is going to end in a bloody conflict to his detriment. A Weary Wait Now, this is not Mattes Garvey speaking, but one of the biggest white men in this country who has written that to prey as explaining the attitude of the days of people he represents in their attitude toward the Negro problem in America. You hear what he said. He did not say. He showed two generations. If we are entitled to be mock and humble to be a teacher and all that, our position will be all raiding for generation or race. Now he must I have had something in common with him, after two years (and a half), He meant the That after the second generation we will all be dead. You know some like him working for white folks to go on the bushes, and tell them what to do their needs. You are waiting much more come. The white man is not going to tell you his plans from the public platforms. He is not going to tell you from his newspapers. He is going to work on the plans and the plan is going to operate at the town you must have some enough to move that before he succeeds and before it affects you. And that is what the U.S. and Nebraska importers. Nebraska found out two years ago when it organized the association in America for the purpose of building a government for the Negro peoples of the world. The Migration From the South "Negros do you know what to have been need?" Do you not know that the terrible migration from the South the other day was no chance work was an organized effort of certain Southern and Northern white leaders to create an institutional stamp to the North so as to encourage the sleeping passion of the Northern white man and open his eyes to the danger of the Negro overrunning his community? The white man, from the days of the Civil War and immediately after Abraham Lincoln signed the enunciated proclamation, had his plan for further dealing with the Negro. The white man of the South told the white man of the North, "You are confident you are significant to fight against the Negro, and you have done that because you don't understand the Negro. You have done that because you have not a Negro problem on your hands. But if you were to have a Negro problem on your hands you would treat the Negro as we do down South. We understand the Negro because we live alongside of him." "The recent migration from the South to the North was an organized effort among certain Southern leaders and Northern leaders who have been inoculated with the Southern doctrine to push up North sufficient Negroes to create a problem in Northern communities, so that the North could have a better appreciation of the condition of the South. And after there were riots in certain Northern sections where Negroes flocked from the South certain propaganda was made in the North to draw the Northern-white man's attention to the danger of the Stops COLDS La Gripppe Influenza Pneumonia Keep strong.

THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JANUARY 26, 1924 Jphannesburg, Port. Elizabeth and, as I have said before, East London is being seriously considered, from Jones, the teacher of these Black Communists in Russia, is coming back presumably to put theory into practice. He has already sent drums, hottie-drums and money, T am told, and, follow workers, he is coming for business here. The business to create a revolution. What will you gain by a revolution? Nothing. You have everything to less than gain. Briggs and Owen, two mischievous Negro Communists whoceived thousands of Negroes in America trading under the "African Blood Brotherhood," are now the wealthiest of Negroes. You, after all is said and none, "Redemption of Africa" and other such misleading slogans, mean nothing else but swindle. They are financial "formilers." We have in this country Negroes of the type of Briggs and Owen. Beware of them. They, like these two Negroes, are trading under the name of "industrial organization." They have succeeded to deceive the educated people. That will not happen again. We are putting a step to it. I say baware of the wolves elud in phishing. The Negro World does not need to take sides one way or the other. It is satisfied that the situation is alive and clamoring for a hearing through its responsible spokesmen. We have the like uproar in this country. It is better than stagnation. It will lead to something. As for Messrs. Briggs and Owen, we leave them to the tender mercy of Mr. Nyombolo, who is all mixed up about them, as we do not understand that they are in any way united in life and purpose or that their joint bank account would flood the National treasury with Income Tax payments. They may be wealthy in Africa, but they are considered as being poor in Harlem. The main thing right now is, however, to wake up the sleeping Negro wherever he may slumber, and to resurrect unto life the dead Negro wherever he may be dead although alive, and to teach him his obligations and duties to himself as a human being, entitled to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" everywhere. The Universal Negro Improvement Association has blazed the way for him, and is blazing it. RUNNING AWAY FROM THE RACE THE man who is ashamed of the race that is his is unfit to have a race that is not his own. All Negroes do not look alike and all Negroes do not think and act alike, but all Negroes have the "One God; One Aim; One Destiny." That is the slogan of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and the Negro who wants to get away from it and the truth of it, simply ain't a Negro at all, but comes dangerously near being simply nothing. The Chicago Defender, in a recent issue, adorned its "brazen front" with a screaming editorial, in which it took the position that, "Starting January 1, 1924, Negroes are to be known as Americans," with no race, no color, no hyphenations to differentiate them from other Americans. The editorial naturally took on the strident magnilence of an unauthorized Proclamation, and that is the length, breadth and thickness of it. Yes; the leopard can change its spots by a systematic evolution in miscegenation, but when he has done so he will cease to be a leopard. It doth not appear what he will be. So with the Negro. Americans we are, persons, citizens; but Negro Americans, persons, citizens, who are not ashamed of the race and have the courage, the loyalty, to stand by the race and help it to become what it should be—a good and great power in the United States, in the West Indies, in Africa, the Native land of our forefathers. The Negro who is not that sort of Negro is not a Negro at all but something else. What? Let him tell us. EDITORIAL OPINION OF THE NEGRO PRESS Negro World 81 West 135th Street New York.

HOPE FOR THE VIRGIN ISLANDERS THE NEGRO WORLD has been making a consistent advocacy of bettermement of the social, civil and economic conditions of the people of the Virgin Islands, forced upon them by change of their governmental allegiance from the Danish to the American flag. The change in administration and in their living resources has proved to be not only a radical but a desperate one, crying loudly to the American government for relief. But the cry was ignored by the former administration, and those concerned had no great hope that immediate action for their relief would be taken. The commission appointed by President Coolidge, composed of distinguished Negroes, which sailed from New York Thursday of last week for the Islands, with power to investigate conditions and report, was not only a surprise to us, but, we are sure, to the distressed people of the Islands. It was the necessary thing to do and President Coolidge did it in a splendid way. Not only that; he did it in an unusual way, as it is the first time in the history of the country that an All Negro Commission has been made by the President to do such important work. It is a step far in advance, and President Coolidge deserves all the credit attaching to his act. We have had two other commissions: The San Domingo Commission, upon which Mr. Frederick Douglass served, and the Liberian Commission, upon which Mr. Emmett J. Scott served, but both commissions were dominated by the white members. President Roosevelt appointed T. Thomas Fortune as a special commissioner to investigate certain labor and other conditions in Hawaii and in the Philippine Islands. The party of Lincoln and Sunnel and Coolidge appeals more persuasively than the party of Tillman. Vardaman and McAdoo. Some will try the experiment of vindictive politics, and seek to punish the apostacy of ancient friends by alignment with former enemies. At the hands of the one the Negro suffers sins of omission; from the other he fears sins of commission. Supposing that Coolidge and McAdoo were equally sound and sincere in their Americanism, the Negro prefers Coolidge from his tradition and environment. He feels a safer reliance on Vermont granite than on Tennessee limestone—Prof. Kelly Miller in the Boston Chronicle. BOLSHEVIEL ACTIVITIES IN AFRICA We are having some very live news and opinion coming out of Africa these days, through the media of our African newspaper contemporaries. It appears that the white churches and organized labor unions and political wire-pullers, with the Communists leading the way, have all arrived at the conclusion that the Native black people have been neglected and abused, and that it is time to get together with them and endeavor to work out a program of mutual helpfulness. Meantime, the Native black people are alive. They have their own organizations and leaders, and they are doing what they can to make the most of the new situation, with a big promise of better things in it for them. True it is that we do not all assay alike, but we each have a claim that we will never find the ore by drawing hieroglyphics on the surface with sticks. We must dig, and dig deep else we might as well not have a single ounce of gold in our mine. It is possible to make something of one's self if we just work incessantly, persistently, we will strike pay dirt. It is hard work, patience, perseverance, a mighty effort, intelligently directed that will enable us to strike, the gold-bearing vein—Detroit Independent. All this is as it should be and as The Negro World would have it. How is that? This way: Wherever there is a Negro sleeping on his social, civil and economic rights we would wake him up. Wherever there is a dead Negro, dead on his social, civil and economic rights, we would wake him up, because we believed in the resurrection and the life. So do you. Then, wake up if you are asleep, and come to Life if you are dead. All Hall the changing order. The exigencies of the times have always called out the right men. Yesterday we had the slave. We have with us today the New Negro, and tomorrow it doth not yet appear what we shall be."—Chicago Enterprise. Let us see. Our esteemed contemporary, The International, of Johannesburg, Union of South Africa, official mouthpiece of the Communist party, has adopted a policy of square-dealing with the Native blacks which has accrued the officials of the State and of the white churches and got them to guessing in a way that is not only interesting but provocative of much speculation as to what may happen next. Such a situation is always more or less charged with high explosives. The International says: The purchasable delegate is in the class with the stool pigeon; he despises himself and is despised by those who use him. - Norfolk Journal and Guide. A Republican Congress has been in power almost continually during the past forty years. We wonder has it just found out that the South is being run on the "Shoar-gun Policy"? - St. Louis Argus. Willie Rockey, M. I. A., attacked the Communists the other day for "preaching equality when there is no equality." Surely it is the other way round. The crime of the bourgeois and the bourgeois-minded is just that they preach inequality where there is no inequality. From the bourgeois point of view there is no inequality between black and white workers when a Native does white man's work. The fact that he does it means that black and white are equal for the capitalists, who value a worker simply according to the profit he makes for them; indeed if the black does the job cheaper than the white, and so makes even more profit for them, then he is in their eyes not merely equal but superior to the white. This is the "equality" which Mr. Rockey knows all about but conceals, saying, "We do not want to see blacks competing with whites"; while the Communists insist on opening the eyes of the public to it. Too great stress cannot be laid upon the advice to the people of Newport News to give more attention to the matter of saving a reasonable part of what they earn. Every possible facility which can be devised is being put into operation to induce the people to put aside a certain proportion of their savings for the time when conditions may change and employment become scarce.—Newport N. s. Star. The International has planted itself firmly upon what Saint Paul called "Sound doctrine." What do we call it? A square deal for all persons—without regard to race, color or religion—living in the same communities and governed by the same civil and economic laws. That is what does not prevail most anywhere under any Flag? Why? Because, as Robert Burns has said, "Man's inhumanity to man induces countless millions mourn." But there are plenty of Native blacks who will have nothing of Communism or Bolshevikism. Our esteemed contemporary, The African Voice, "propagating the interests of Non-Europeans Throughout the African Continent," published at Capetown, South Africa, editorially says: The colored brother is learning to read from the signs of the time and will not be deceived in the future by false rumor or honeyed tongue and will look to the records for his political guidance. No more will he be led astray by the political strategist who knows us only at election time, but we will in the future stand by the men who have our interests at heart the year round. Colored brother, when we stop swapping horses in the middle of the stream, we'll get somewhere—Omaha New Era. But these aliens, who happen not to be in touch with the psychology of our people, do not realize that we are not prepared to share in any program which is intended to antagonize white public opinion in this country. Colored folks are just like some white folks, and the white folks are just like some colored folks. Don't forget that. -Richmond Planet.

"Blood of the Martyrs Is The Seed of the Church" (From the Richmond Slave) Putting Marcus Gavay, in prison has simply given us more Marcus Gavay. It has always been so and always will be the same way. By T. Thomas Fortune You have noticed, if you have traveled extensively in the United States and in other countries, that there is a positive difference in the very air of the different places? I have been very much impressed by this fact. It has a perceptible influence upon the feelings. When I was to the Far East, in China, Japan and the Philippines, it seemed to me that the atmosphere was surcharged with a dense and soggy spirit life that stagnated in a way all of the mental and physical faculties. I don't think it was the heat of the climate—and it was hot enough, in all conscience—I think it was the dead spirits of the dead of ages that made the atmosphere dense and soggy. 'Am I superstitious? Not a bit. I have had too close and intimate association with "familiar spirits" to be at all superstitious, and I know that the dense atmosphere about us, which we can discern by closing the eyes for a moment, is full of spirit life. And it has voices, and plenty of them, if you have an ear to hear them. Not all have such an ear. Why? In the Christmas holidays of 1920 I found myself in Memphis. Just why I was there, in sight and sound of the muddy Mississippi River, which flows very much vexed to the sea, is a horse of another color. But Memphis is a very peculiar place. The Negroes there appear to live in a perpetual expectation that "something will happen," and something more or less disquieting does happen all of the time. If it ain't one thing it is another. I notice that the Pittsburgh American has been looking up the murder record of Memphis. It finds that it had seventy-eight killings last year, sixty-three being Negroes, fifty-six of whom met death at the hands of members of the race. That is going some. The police never go about singly, but in pairs. That is, when I was down there they did. I was not afraid to go it alone, but I always expected something to happen when I did. It was a funny feeling, and there was plenty of it in the air I breathed, and I felt it. You would if you were in it. Negroes don't talk out in Memphis as they do in other places. They appear to be afraid of something. And they talk and write and preach all the time about "there must be good relations between the races," but the precious whites don't preach the same doctrine much, not much; nor practice much of it. I notice that Dr. T. O. Fuller has been writing a long letter in the Commercial Appell, which our newspapers are copying extensively, on "Good will between the races," but I know that the "good will" in Memphis is almost entirely to the credit of the black people. It is one-sided. I don't care for it. I love those who hate me. Dr Fuller says that nothing "delights him more" than the fact that he "has risen above race prejudice." Fine. But if the other fellow don't feel the same way he will beat you all up in the scrap he provokes, if you don't him all up. It happens mostly that way down Memphis way, and it will continue to be that way until the Negro does as Fullen did at Drew recently—shoot to kill the bunch that shouted to kill him. I was seated in my office on Beale avenue one day when there was a great commotion outside. I went out. Two policemen were bustling an old Negro woman into the back seat of an automobile in which a grizzled white planter sat. What's the trouble? The old woman had worked many years for the planter without pay, and getting tired of it, escaped to Memphis. Of course, she had to write to the home folks, and by doing it the planter found out where she was and rode over the Arkansas line and asked the policemen to arrest her. They did, without warrant, and he took her back out of Tennessee into Arkansas, without any protest from any of the Negroes, gathered there and without any action by the uplift associations we have in Memphis. We have too many cowardly Negroes everywhere who are afraid of a white face, or many, but who spend much time slashing and shooting each other. Some very queer things are done down Memphis way. WHAT WE BELIEVE WHAT WE BELIEVE THE Universal Negro Improvement Association advocates the uniting and blending of all Negroes into one strong healthy race. It is against miscegenation and race suicide. It believes that the Negro race is as good as any other, and therefore should be as proud of itself as others are. It believes in the purity of the Negro race and the purity of the white race. It is against rich blacks marrying poor whites. It is against rich or poor whites taking advantage of Negro women. It believes in the spiritual Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man. It believes in the social and political physical separation of all people to the extent that they promote their own ideals and civilization, with the privilege of trading and doing business with each other. It believes in the promotion of a strong and powerful Negro nation. It believes in the rights of all men. THE BOK PEACE PRIZE ESSAY FALLS FAR SHORT The Cincinnati Division of the U. N. I. A. Votes Unanimously Against the Award, Which, It Claims, Does Not Make for Peace at All President William Warre, of the Cincinnati Division, has sent to the "Office of The Negro World a copy of a communication adopted by the division, which was addressed to the Award Committee, as follows: Cincinnati, Ohio, Jan. 14, 1924. The American Peace Award, 342 Madison Avenue, New York City. ison Avenue, New York City. Gentlemen: At a recent meeting of members of the Local division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association called to consider the feasibility of the peace plan that was awarded the prize offered by Mr. Bok last year, it was decided by unanimous vote that the award should not be given to the author of the plan decided upon by the jury. The enclosed ballot may be considered as the vote of the representative body of the nearly 2,000 members we have in Cincinnati and vicinity. The seasons we advance for voting as we have are as follows: The word received a great thrill when Mr. Bok announced his plan for awarding a generous prize to the person submitting the best plan for the promotion of international peace. The most skeptical of cosmopolitans hulled the announcement as the beginning of the dawn of that "peace which passeth all understanding." But when the jury made its decision known, American men and women saw that the jury, and indeed, the entire personnel of the peace award, still dwelt on the mental plans of 1914 and the days that preceded that momentous year. The jury at least believes that hu辛arity is as guilgible as it was before the great war; that it can be lulled to slope with etherial hilbilities; that it will listen as it once did to promises that rest on air. For even a partial perusal of the plan declared to be the winning plan shows that it will help an little toward the realization of lasting peace among men as did the Nobel Peace awards. The Hague Conference—solemn ceremonials of mummery at best—the Washington Arms Conference, which was not even an armed truce, or the camouflaged benevolence of the late gun-maker, Carnegie. The Bok peace award appears to be nothing less than a cheap means of obtaining a workable plan to retain conditions as they are—without the friction that exists at present, at least urif the next blood-letting. How the confidence of the American common people, assuming that the jury had them in mind, can ever be reargained in the matter of reconsidering another such award as the present political pop-ron prize is a subject that in itself warrants the announcement of still another award for that special purpose. Instead of giving humanity a peace of the people, in which the people will have the power of declaring war or making peace, you give them a tribal trace—a piece of patchwork on a mettaten garment. It is simply the work of one who loses to part with the imperialistic diplomacy of dying Europe—the Europe with its fangs fastened— the flesh of half the world. Does the prize-winning "Peace Plan" suggest any other authorship except that of one schooled in the tricks of the decaying order of predatory society? We, as Negroes, are members of a race that is the object of constant aggression on the part of Europeans races. For us the winning plan, as announced by the jury, holds no hope of peace. What hope for enduring peace can the several hundred millions of Negroes through the world find? In the plan which it is claimed will promote international harmony? What does it promise in the matter of lasting peace to any of the races now held in burgage by European nations? The prize-winning political essay cannot answer these questions; it was not designed with that purpose in mind. Its framework rests on the principles of retaining the system of political power as it exists at the moment—with convenient loopholes for fresh exhibitions of rapaciousness—on the part of European militarism when such opportunities may occur. It is the peace of the victors, even as the Versailles peace was a peace of the conquerors, and as such is doomed even before it is approved by the international diplomats—for the common people have little to say in the treaty of peace or war. There is but one plan for peace which is acceptable to all peoples of all races, which is feasible at any time, and that is the application of the belief in One God, One Alm, One Destiny! Yours fraternally, WILLIAM WARE, President Cincinnati Division No. 146, Universal Negro Improvement Association. Teaching Preachers To Be Human (From the Southern Workman) There was made last summer in Jacksonville, Fla., one of the most unique educational ventures ever tried in the South. Edward Waters College, one of the African Methodist Episcopal schools located in Jacksonville, has conducted its first summer school. There were assembled at this summer school 260 African Methodist ministers for four weeks of intensive study. They came from every part of the State of Florida, which constitutes one of the largest Episcopal districts in the States. Each morning at 3 o'clock, roll was called on the campus. The ministers were formed in companies according to districts and preaching elders, and the preaching elders were company commanders. After roll call they marched in battalion formation to recitations. From 8 to 12 o'clock all groups were busily engaged in lectures and recitations in English arithmetic, English Bible, church history, homilies, psychology, sociology, and community methods. The lectures by the members of the faculty covered a wide range and were intensely interesting and practical. They dealt with every problem the minister faces, from personal etiquette to the second coming of Christ, and the theory of progressive revelation. There were numerous visiting speakers drawn to Jacksonville from all sections to see 300. Negro preachers of a single denomination in school. HON. MARCUS GARVEY AT WASHINGTON IN MASTERFUL ADDRESS GIVES SOUND EXPOSITION OF NEW EDUCATION FOR THE NEG POINTS OUT THE FUTILITY OF CRITICIZING AND LAMBASTING THE WHITE MAN WHO IS WORKING TO SAFEGUARD INTERESTS OF HIS OWN RACE WASTE OF TIME RAILING AGAINST HUMAN NATURE Negroes Must Work to Elevate Their Raceand Build a National Home in Africa—Do This or Meet the Doom Which Threatens—U. N. I. A. Pointing the Way to Achievement of Union of Sentiment and Ideals Among Negroes WASHINGTON, Jan. 15—John Wesley Church had a large and enthusiastic audience tonight, when the Hon. Marcus Garvey, President of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and the African Communities League, and Provisional President of Africa, made his appearance on the stage again to address them on the aims and objects of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Although that distinguished orator has within recent months paid several visits to the capital city of the nation and addressed them on several topics, such is his popularity among the cultured citizens of this city and so great is the interest manifested on his discourses that from an early hour, crowds representing all classes of the community, began to gather in the hall. Taking as his theme the "New Education," the President General delivered an unusually masterful and convincing address, handling the question in a novel but logical manner. Punctuated, as his address was with loud and continued cheering, there was no doubt that he had made a very favorable impression upon the mind of his audience. The proceedings were opened by the Hon. Joseph Stewart, president of the Washington Division, No. 183, of the U.N. I. A. Seated on the platform beside the President General were Mrs. Louise Monroe, lady president; the Hon. A. P. Prolacan, vice-president, and other officers of the organization. The proceedings were opened with prayer by the chaplain, after which a selection was rendered by the East Washington Male Choir, the members of which acquitted themselves in the usually masterly manner, evoking considerable applause. The president, who made a short-address of welcome to the audience called upon Col. Morris of the local Legion, to say a few preliminary remarks. Introductory Address Col. Morris, in the course of a short but eloquent address, stated he was sure they had assembled there for a good cause and a just purpose. He was satisfied that they were all determined to a race to better their condition, and to so work that Africa should be redeemed, and the Negro should take his place alongside the nations of the earth as a man. The Negro has been looking around for a long time for justice, yet, with all his search throughout the Western world, and the Eastern Hemisphere, Africa has failed to find that thing known as justice.

A pamphlet history that has a future foundation for a future negro history beginning for the thousand years. I know that every negro that reads this book will be prepared to get up and go out into the world and achieve greater things for himself, for there is only one thing for himself, for there is only one thing for himself. This book for truth, and that is the Bible. This book of men and women, through their own vision of thought, and sacrifice, have achieved great business and wealth, and it (4) has been a great practice and is a name of the great American negro men and women in it. This history shows that in all ages that (7) some negro leader has been awake, and held the fact until God raised an others better than they. (8) This story is a story of the great regret of the great men who stopped to be the matchless negro leader, who speaks up for the rights of all the negroes in the world: (31) one negro man gathered together at a million negroes; (12) one man made a match for the world; (13) one of the million negroes of the world; (18) another negro and other of the greatest negroes. I know that every negro that reads this book will be prepared to get up and go out into the world. Then three of the old beginners for each other: (11, 12). Don't work. Also, I'm a business letter "How to Make Money with $1.05, no COD, becomes America, yet in the Southern states through various means, he is Jim-crowded and segregated on every hand. And now the U. N. L. A. has set about to bring a new thought; to the new Negro, the new program of Africa for the Africans, and to organize the Negroes of the world into one common whole, in order to gain Africa, first, last and for all time. The Negro, in his two hundred and fifty years of training in the Western hemisphere, has developed a bad psychology, which has had the effect of making him divided. That psychology has taught him to think about the French, English and German; but it has failed to teach him to think of his fatherland, and the history of his ancestors. The Negro has failed to realize his position in America. He is beginning to realize, however, that he cannot carry out his ambition in America, Germany, or in any other part of the world, but in Africa, the land of the blacks, and so he is degenerated that Ethiopia shall stretch forth her hands to the world, and shall cross a greater civilization than the world has ever seen. "I am against the prejudice of America. I am against my ambition being limited, and because my ambition is limited I shall strike out in a new field, where I can give full vent to my ambition," is the thought of the new Negro, said the speaker. He was ready for his part to make the supreme sacrifice, if necessary. He was ready to take his place among the dead heroes of the world, so that Africa may be redeemed, and that her sons and daughters may be able to enjoy their rights in the land of their fathers. In conclusion, he urges upon the audience to consider well the program of the U. N. I. A. to realize their position in this country, and to listen to the call of Africa, their fatherland. The Hon. Joseph Stewart, at the conclusion of this address, announced the principal speaker of the evening in the person of the Hon. Marcel Garvey in glowing words he referred to the work of the great leader to his prophetic vision, and to the great efforts he had been making to instill face consciousness into the Negro peoples of the world. His had been a great success, and today the work of the organization has spread to such an extent that they numbered among their ranks four million people, and his message had been delivered to all parts of the world, among the four hundred million Negroes. He was not a self-constituted leader, but had been elected by representatives of the Negro peoples of the world at the last convention held to be the provisional president of Africa. The speaker attended at a very high honor and privilege to announce the Hon. Marcel Garvey. MR. GARVEY'S ADDRESS Honorable Marcel Garvey, advocate and the audience said: My subject for tonight is "The New Education." The U.K.A. organization that I have the honor to represent, is engaged in promulgating among the Negro peoples of the world the new education. I am selected to be one of the spokesmen of this New Education. It is no easy task to educate. It takes a youth a number of years before he completely gets education putting him for his place in life. The teacher, the schoolmaster, the professor has to exhibit patience through the years of tuition. Some refuse to imbibe all that is taught. We have been teaching the New Education amount: the Negroes for six years, and we have been able to educate six million. We are still in the process of educating, and we hope one day that we will succeed in educating four hundred million Negroes of the world. That is why I come to Washington so often, and go to other places, so we to reach those who have not yet come into the classroom. The U. N. I. A. is seeking to destroy the old education, and to import the new. The old education separates from our own racial vision, our own racial outlook and causes us to see things only through the spectacle, of the other fellow—this must be destroyed (anplause). And the education that will enable the Negro to see through his own spectacles, that will enable him to take on his own visions must be promulgated. Also An Idealist I am a Negro idealist just as white teachers, philosophers and leaders are white idealists; just as Asiatic, yellow teachers and philosophers are yellow idealists. We stand for the ideals of the Negro race, even as the other races stand for their own respective ideals. We have no quarrel with anyone this respect as we respect the ideals THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JANUARY 26, 1924 of all peoples. We accord to all people the right to have their own set ideals; to fight for them, to strugle toward them and to die for them if they care. A similar right we demand. The U. N. L. A., therefore, is not advancing the programme of hatred among the races as I have recently emphatically stated; but we are endeavoring to bring about a union of sentiment, a union of ideals among the four hundred million Negroes of the world, that will enable to lift themselves to a common standard of humanity, to the plane of human progress, and there to be recognized as men co-equid with the other men of the other races and nations in the world. In America, as in countries where we form minorities, unfortunately we have been badly educated because the other fellow thinks it is his duty to give us the kind of education that will make us what he wants us to be, and, therefore, he is not to be blamed. As I said on my last visit here, if I were a white man, I would give to Negroes and all other people who do not look like me, the kind of education that would keep them down. Now, I mean that. If I were a white man I would study every possible ways and means to keep other folks down. Now, I am plain in that. Therefore, I am not expecting anything other than what is reasonable from the white man, or other people who are not identified with my race. It has become a law of human nature. The individual races or notions must look out for themselves, and the other race or nation that thinks that the other race should look out for them, has the wrong concept of humanity and of life. (Applause.) I have ceased long ago to believe that it is the white man's duty to prepare a place for me in life; except that which he wants to fix me in. It is his duty to fix me just as he wants me; it is my duty to fix myself up as I want myself. (Applause.) He fixed my grandfather, he used my great grandfather, he used my father, and he is still determined to fix me; but I am not going to give him a chance to fix me beathers. (Applause.) The Fixing Period We are in the living period now. Everybody is trying to ask the other. The European is trying to fix the Astatic, the Astatic is trying to fix the other people surrounding them, and everybody seems to be trying to fix the Neerou. If you allow the other to low to fix you, you will stay fixed and be in a hell of a fix. Here is one organization that is not going to allow anybody to fix the New Neerou, but the Negro himself, and we want to be fixed in a position of industrial freedom, of political freedom, of social freedom, and of national freedom. That is the kind of fixing we are fighting for, and that is the kind of freedom that some of us will the trying to get. There is nothing offensive in the program of the U. N. I. A., except to the man who wants to fix the Negro in the position that he does not want to be in. There is no offense to the liberal mind and soul because of what the U. N. I. A. seeks to do, which is to elevate the race. In there anything what ever about that that is dangerous, to elevate the race? It is the desire of all people to elevate themselves. The white man has had thousands of years doing it at the expense of others. He has gotten away with it, and it is his good luck. But we have reached the stage of civilization where all the people have enough sense to see about their own affairs, whether they be Irish, Jew or Gentle, or Egyptian, Hindoo. All these people are looking towards improving themselves, strengthening themselves and advancing their own causes. We can do nothing else if we are men, and we are now conscious of this fact that we are men. Fighting for Nationhood The U. N. L. A. is fighting towards the ideal of nationalism; the highest ideal among peoples at the present time. In America we have argued that there is no need for a separate and distinct nation for Negroes within the British Empire, those who are British have argued similarly. They say we are all citizens and we are all subjects, but we have to realize that we are citizens without rights, and subjects without consideration. Now, we are led with that kind of thing. If a thing is worth while having, it is worth while having well. I am sat satisfied to be a subject of the king if I am going to have the same privileges like all other subjects, but you are not going to give certain subjects special privileges and deny them to me. If I am a citizen, I want the same rights and privileges, and opportunities like the other citizens. Now, the Negro as he faces the world, realizes that so far as his rights under these governments go they are limited, whether they be British, French, Italian or American Negroes, and we must face these facts. I have come back to Washington to speak to you in a rational and reasonable manner of these things, because the fault is going to be ours and not the white man's if we do not adjust ourselves immediately for the danger that is ahead. I am not in a position to blame anyone but the Negro for his present condition, in that I am of opinion that no one can keep you down but yourselves. I have not seen the man yet who can permanently keep me down. I reason and argue the same way that if each and every individual would exert himself, no one can keep you down and make you what you do not want to be. As it is to the individual, so it is to the race. If a race is down, it is because that race is sultated to be so. That race will rise from its position and condition when it makes up its mind. That is what we are endeavoring to do now. But to get the Negroes to make up their minds and lift themselves from the condition in which they are, and not expecting God or the white man to do it, as they are not going to do it, is our duty and not theirs. Survival of the Fittest The white man in America, as in other parts of the world, has his own affair, and his own racial business to attend, and when he is goes out of his way to assist others it is charity, it is philanthropy and it is sympathy. That sympathy, charity and philanthropy cannot be kept up for long because of the great changes that are now affecting the human race as a whole. The time is coming, and very shortly, when the white man will have to fight for his own existence, because we are hearing a period of the survival of the future when every man will have to fight for his own existence, whether he be yellow or red, white or black. There is no doubt about it, and that is why the white race, whether in America or elsewhere, is now seeing about themselves and are not showing that philanthropy and sympathy for other people. It is the law of self-preservation, and the common understanding and interpretation of such a law has caused the U. N. L. A. not to expect them to do for us what we ought to do for ourselves. The world has reached a point where there is bound to be a conflict in bleak which may lead to disaster on the part of those who are not strong enough to hold their own. We are living in a world of economics, a world of bread and butter. That is what life really involves itself into—a problem of bread and butter. With all the high-sounding philosophies and ethical principles imitated from pupils and schoolchildren, life is purely a question of bread and butter—your three square meals a day—and it has reached the point where there is going to be a desperate scramble for these three square meals. There is not going to be enough for everybody to get an equal portion. The atmosphere is going to go humbly, and later throw a poisonous humdry, and bloody. That is the problem that confronts us now. There is one prior to be in my conflict, and wars. If you Norcross is down before you stay in America and the world, and allow Europe to grab Atlantic and protect it, an another twenty have five years if you have nowhere to lay your life, do not blame it on the white men do not blame it on God, but blame it on your own indulgence, your own laziness, and your own lack of vision. Africa the Only Salvation That is why the U.N. A present the African pen to the Negro in America, the West Indies, and the whale of this sea. Africa is going to be the only continent of the Negro. It will not be A. A. Africa that we want to be the continent of the black matter to be a senses, essential to our time. There are some of us who do not like Africa. We have premature ideas and notions about Africa. We have imagined badness and horrible things about Africa. We are harboring in our unconscious short Africa is the hell to be, a place to which we do not want to go. But it is just better the one statement with you. It Africa was with England. England would want to go there, and it was in a hell and place to be depicted. France would not be deceived to go to these countries, unlike England, and Italy. Belgium, Portugal and Spain would not be making and desperate efforts to colonize there. This suggests, therefore that there is something worldly not about Africa. It is this something that the world is going after. That some of the world is worth in Africa at present, but nothing good, copper coal and various other materials. If you believe the things are useful to the world, if you believe they are valuable to our present civilization, then let me tell you that they are the things that interested England and France, and Italy Belgium and Portugal, which cause them to be going into Africa. They are not going after fever, as some of us thing we will get when we go there. They are not going after elephants and tigers and lions that will eat them up, but they are going after the oil, the rubber, the diamonds and coal etc. Gett.ng What You Want Man reasons that these things are necessary to his existence and comfort. They contribute to his wealth, and whoever these things are, if they are in hell, he will go after them. (Appease). It is not the place but what is there. For instance, which of you, having gotter, private information that there is ten billion dollars across the river, located in a certain spot, and all that is necessary is to swim or get across the river anyhow, before anybody else, would not devise some means of getting there. It is not the river, but what is beyond the river: If you know what is beyond the river, and you have to swim, you must expose yourself to the danger of drowning; so, therefore, if you want these things, you must go after them. The white man in Europe, hundreds of years old, heard about this new land, that was discovered by Columbus; heard that it was virgin and valuable, and worth white and he came in search of, of it and found it. You see what he has got out of it. He has got it 'new civilization'; he has built up a new nation in wealth and imperialism, and he is going to hold it until 'Thy Kingdom, Come.' Negro Must Look to Himself And any Negro who thinks the white man is foolish enough to turn that over to him—wait on, brother! Wait on! If you want what is worth, while, go in search of it yourself, and risk the same dangers. You are crazy if you think the other fellow is going to risk his life for the beautiful and for the valuable resources of nature, and, after he has risked his life and been successful, to hand that to you. You know you are not reasonable. There is only one Being in the world who risked His life for something and then gave it entirely away to somebody else, that person is Jesus. And He came to the world but once. He promised to come in second time, but they made it so hot the first time that two thousand years have passed and He has not come back yet. You do not that people ase that nowadays, people who are willing to risk their all, and give it away freely to somebody else, without a duration for themselves. How often have you met such people? Brothers, they are not here, they are in Heaven, and when we get there we will co-elate with them, but while we are down here we are in a world of one, a world of materialism, and you have to face that world of in and materialism and treat it as it treats you. Therefore, do not expect more than is humanly reasonable in a world like this. Do not expect the white man to take his soul and give it to you, because they have need of their own souls. I have said this to show that the Negro future is dependent upon himself. It he has no care today he is best. It is that man that we are endeavoring to give to all peoples of the world. I law all mankind, I love all good citizens, I believe in the system of government, I believe in the regulation of human life. Without order yet cannot there be peace. I believe that there should be a great American government for the American people, that there should be a great English government for the English, a French government for the French, but I under the influence of the American people, which it abhorred, should believe that I am not a man of crime and whore, but a man of virtue and honesty, who is not a man of the government, but a man of the people. The Majority Must Rule The Problem or Today .. We believe in him to practice in mankind right. We can do it and five people fully we can do the other fellow what I am expected him to give what I am. Now let me turn to a common sense expedition in the American problem. We are in a great waters. Later on, we can be drawn, somebody is coming on. If the storm is not immediately, somebody is going overboard and he drowned. We are in troubled waters. What do I mean? We in America have evolved into a new state, a new mental state. Here we have fifteen million people, the product of four million slaves of sixty years ago, people who could not deepen their own names, who could not compose a verb, who knew nothing of the science of the language they spoke; who had no outlaws on life; who were mainly satisfied to be serfs and peasants and slaves, believing, that to be their fixed position in life by the dispensation of the Great God who created them. It is we are an improvement on such people, and such thoughts. We are now higher in culture and in civilization. In education, we are capable of holding our own against all comers. It is a fixed law that you cannot educate a man and keep him down. If I am ignorant I will be satisfied to go around probably half-hearted, living in a log cabin and sleeping on a rough bed or walk for ten or fifteen miles to per- form my daily task; but after you have educated me and brought me within reach of culture and civilisation. I must have good clothes and hoard; I must live in good surroundings; my home must be comfortable; my furniture good, and if I have to go to my employment fifteen miles away I should be able to take the street car to there or drive in my automobile. That is what education has done for me, and I look around and see the other fellow has not more education than I have, and I see him becoming President. Therefore, I ask why should I not be President also. That is what education has done for me, and for the fifteen million of our race today. Brothers, we are in troubled waters; we are in the fixed mood and mind, to demand justice, because we are educated to the appreciation of democracy, liberty and equality in all thine. Now, this education of ours cannot be destroyed. To do so you would have to destroy the entire Negro race, because the mind is the thing that fixes a man's outlook. To destroy that outlook, you have to destroy the man. Need for Diplomacy Hero we have the New Negro as courageous, as bold, as self-assertive, as self-conscious as any man Almighty God ever created. Now, what are you going to do with him? Trample him and keep him down? If you attempt that, you are looking for trouble (Appause.) The result is, you must either give him the opportunity to rise or expect trouble. Now, all of us are determined to rise; but our environment is not so favorable to our rising from where we are to the higher things without encountering great trouble. The trouble is the overwhelming prejudice with which we have to compete. Common sense, common judgment, will dilate to you that even if your case is right and just, if you should win your complaint, reason will dilate to you that you had better be careful as to how you present your complaint against the majority, otherwise they may fix your position. Now, we still know we are depicted of certain rights, we all know that we are being supposed to an amition. But what can we do? But when did it take place to end? Need for a daytime there is still need for� to do in the part of the Negro; then to give need for them leadership on the part of the go! I diplomacy and leadership in the world, it is the Neuro race, he says, we are in a dead state. We have long-lanceed in the North month, and we should debate to go how we should take it out. If you discuss the long-termmathop. I could, but if you can graduate more on that hard without moving the vplion of the long-term you are "afte. That is the question used for the News on America.

There is no whim more to the world who does not feel the cell of a man and can be a wrought. We know in our Dich�ing World the ex-supreme world to be of the importance of the world in the world. But let's see the way we are the world we should be. We can be the world when we are not going on. He is not the world, and he is not the world when we are not going on. Industry Business Politics popular to talk about the Ku Klux Klan, and talk about darkness, them but, we must remember, that our hands are in the Lion's mouth. We will know the Lion is an amur who should always try to kill but we should not let the Lion know that we are going to kill him. Rather than tell him, it is better to go right ahead and do it. No Permanent Progress There is no permanent progress for the Negro in America. When that progress, threatens the power of the white man he at once brings the Negro back to the position he has fixed for him. Therefore, it calls for a high degree of statemanship to lead the Negro at this time. (Applause). Where the Negro in the minority is majority civilization, and under a majority government, until we get good statemanship, we will, in spite of anti-this or anti-that bills, be always in the same position. I am not criticizing Congressman Dyer's bill, nor am I saying that the bill will serve in purpose. Mr. Dyer knows that he is playing the same game with us as A paper that is read and backed by an organized group, is BECAUSE There is a branch of this organisation right in your city or town AND There are over 4,000,000 members already interested in this, their foremost base medium: SO! there any wonder that those who are wise enough to advertise this paper receive such wonderful results?

"Thou Shalt Not Steal," yet men tell every day. (laughter). There is law about taking another's life, yet commit murder every day. No_Law But Power There is no law, there, is no justice at Power. So it is left to us to get strength and power as quickly as we can. (Applause). If France was not powerful today, she would not have restured to keep herself in Germany long against international sentiments. She would not have invaded Germany at the time, and remained in the coal regions as she has done. It was wrong. It was in violation of the principles of the peace that all the nations had fought for; and that England and America desired. But France represents power and that is right, if it is wrong. It is still right. France today is the greatest disturber of the world, and she is allowed to continue for unreasonable and inhuman attitude toward Germany, which she knows will lead to another bloody world war, because it is impossible for sensible men to think that they can keep down 60,000,000 intellectual people like the Germans, people of science and industry. You can keep a fool town because he does not know how to protect his rights, but you cannot keep people down who know how to mix deadly gases, etc. France is foolish to think she can keep the Germans down. The French women and historians know that they are laying the foundations of all other war, as Germany did when she levied unreasonable indemnity on France after the Franco-Prussian war, of 1870. France's attitude is based on that of Germany in 1870. England and morale know that France is laying a foundation of great world-wide conquest and that she is a monarch to the gce of the world. But they know at France is well equipped with many thousands of airplanes and that she can over over their cities and drop certain items not pleasant to their populations. Therefore, whaakeover France does is hurt. There is no justice but power; he is no right but strength. The Case of Haiti Because Haiti, little Haiti, has had little political troubles, like every nation, America says to her: "You violating the Monroe Doctrine; you disturbing the peace of the Caribbean." Therefore our army and navy proceeds to invade the little country and British jurisdiction over it. But France, which troubles the peace of the id., is allowed to do as she pleases. 17 Because France represents power, France represents strength, while it represents nothing. The last giant gunboat lies under the Carib- ie French airplanes, guarantee ace against interference of any er in the world that seeks to carry the law. You therefore realize that e is no law but strength and power. it is foolish for Negroes to then believe they can pray this question. Brothers, if you have bangs strong igh, pray on. Doy on. But our ers will not help us with this lem. Let the whole 15,000,000 Neg of the country decide to pray for week straight and keep on praying, rd, keep this man from kicking me; they will still kick on. But if all us were organized and represented ength and a powerful, government would not have to pray about being kod, because no one would kick us. True Position of the Negro I am endeavoring to bring you the position of the Ngoe, not more America, because America is the nee- nest country in the world, poor ward the Ngoe. And the more I wher- t of America is the South. It is the part of America, because it is truth. I like a man who tells the th. The South goes 'Ngoe, tha- and no further. Do not let the cur- own on you here. I like the love, and frankness, because I am the able to look about myself. And it is why I like America better than land and France and other white ruments of the world. nerica says: "Negro, you are him, you shall not rise above this limit! you want to do otherwise it is your right. Some of us think that that attitude will change. Were it not for attitude we would have been delivered in America as we have been in England and France, and would be the lowest elements in the community. We cannot say we are the lowest here, because some of us represent prosperity.

IMPORTANT NOTICE TO MEMBERS OF THE UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION 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 advertisers selves as Vice-Presidents of Divisions of the offering such stocks for sale, and a man in FL Hand them over to the police if they approach Divisions. and culture and wealth because of that honesty. Do you know that, were it not for our honesty of America there would be no Black doctors, preachers, lawyers or anybody worth while? Negroes here would follow the line of least resistance and let white preachers preach to them "because they are sent from God," or let white dentists pull their teeth, or let the white doctor give them medicine, because the black doctor's medicine in hoodoo. If today we represent anything of the prosperity and wealth of America, we have to thank the honest American white man for it. If we get the race consciousness that we are getting now we have to thank America for it. When I want inspiration, I go south from New York to New Orleans, and get Jimcrowed and find myself unable to get a soda from a white soda fountain. Then I get courage and inspiration to strike out more boldly for Narrow. "How Many "More?" Again I emphasize that you and I are crazy we think that the white man is going to yield up to us without a fight this beautiful environment that he has created for himself. Now, if you have ever travelled between any points in a Pullman car, you will have observed what I have often seen. The moment a colored man enters the car, the other persons in the car will look at you and look at each other until you take your seat. "The average man will not say anything, but, beneath those looks, is the question: "How many more?" How many more?" Our prosperity will bring us in closer contact, with the white race in every way, and, as that prosperity shows itself, so much the more will pressure of race be brought to bear upon us. That is the future that I see. Even though every Negro in America should become prosperous overnight, what would not ensure the safety of the Negro in America, for the simple reason that the Negro cannot permanently prosper, or any minority race in the community, when tip majority or part of the majority is starving. The spirit that drives the successful Negro dentist or farmer from the Southern town by the power of the white mob is the same that will make it hellish for the Negro when he aspires for industrial and economic prosperity in the surroundings of a majority race, who are faced with a hard industrial and economic problems. So that in every instance there is nothing but gloom ahead of us, and darkness. There is no prosperity, no success, no law, no justice but strength and power. (Applause.) We need industrial strength and political and industrial power. Human Nature You know two bulls cannot live in the same pen, and you either have to separate them or the weaker one dies. I trust that I have conveyed to you what is in my mind. Contemplate the matter in all seriousness and you will see that there is no solution for the Negro problem than to build a nation of your own in a country of your own, because our economic, industrial and political positions are fixed in all communities where we form the generosity group. It is human nature, and that is why I have stopped abusing the white man. The more I study the question the more I understand his position. Reverse the position of the races in this country and, there be 55,000,000 blacks and 15,000,000 white men, and you will have the same outrages committed upon the whites in Mississippi, Texas, and Georgia as we have been having for the last fifty years. It is hard to believe, but you cannot get away from it. Power will always abrogate strength. That is the cause of sin. Table 11 is found but countries are and you'll be able that when the whole best was added to that one's Name's number on the kind of the No. of those due the English best down after. You'll be very or more and God had to buy both the Rezo de la poxo, or you'll be going to be free now on the next day's end. And you'll be in the case of when you've got the first day to pay.

Do you think the boy who threw away his money has any just complaint against the other three? No. That boy has no right to abuse his follows or expect his parents to give him more money, because he is unsuccessful, and it is the same way here. You are not going to expect God to give you more than he gave you, when he gave creation to man and made him master of his own destiny. God did everything for man that was possible, when he created the universe, and placed it at man's disposal; when he created sea and the fishes therein; the rivers and lakes, and—the beauties of nature with all its vegetation, and the as there is sin in the world and as long as we have not the strength and power to hold our own. to give Africa to the Africans, to whom it justly belongs. That is why we feel sure that when the appeal is made to the liberal-minded white people in America and the world, to restore the Negroes to their possessions, they will by justice and reason do so. I do not believe in provoking a man, but I am saying this emphatically to the world, as a friend of the world, that the Negro is in this attitude. If you place him in a corner where he must eventually die, he can equally die here. If the Negro realizes that the world desires to take from him these things that would make him comfortable, and he realizes that sooner or later he will die, then he will decide to die like a man, fighting for something worth while.

We blame God because we have no jobs; because we are poor, and the other fellow has a big job and plenty of money. We then pray that God will take away the other fellow's job and give it to us. But we are crazy. You know that would be an unfortal God. Suppose your parents had three or four boys in the family, and they distributed their money among the four of you, and sent you out in the world. One of the boys drank out his money, gambled it, and lost all of it. The animal kingdom. He said "You are the Lord of Creation, and he gave us everything for our development. If you did not get your apple, or your peach, God has nothing to do with it. If you did not get your slice of the earth God has nothing to do with it. He gave it to us all. Do as the White Man Did If the white man had sense to know that he would need the fish that is in the sea, and so got hold of it, that is his advantage. The white man knew that he would have to organize a system of society, so that they could unite with each other and get hold of the land. He had sense, enough to know that if he wanted automobiles, he should look for oil. He knew that the pleasures of society, and the vantages of women would entail his having to get diamonds for her, so he grabbed the diamond mines that were our own. The white man has a sense of the future; he knew what he wanted, and he grabbed them all. If the Negro had no sense to know that he would want all these things and sit down, and also them to take it away from him, then he should stay where he is; and that is where he has been for hundreds of years. He had no appreciation for the beauties of nature and God's wonderful creation, and so he has none of it. But through the U. N. L. A. he is beginning to appreciate the value of coal, oil and diamonds; and so we are going to have our share of it (applause). And we are fair about it, too; we are merely going to take our portion, and leave the white and yellow man to have theirs. If Asia is good for the Asiatics, if Europe is good for the Europeans, and America for the Americans, we are going to have ours in Africa, and we are going to fight and die for it, if you please. (Applause.) But the Nero does not want to fight and die, because he loves peace and humanity too well, and that is why the U. N. L. A. takes the program of peace and good will to all mankind. How to Proceed Reason tells us in twentieth-century civilization that if your neighbor has something that is yours, do not burn your neighbor out, but go and inform him that he has something that belongs to you, and ask him kindly to return it. The neighbor may be a little sore about this, but prove to him that it is yours, and that you want it, then, when you prove successfully that the thing is yours and the neighbor does not want to give it up, then you move your hand out of your right hand pocket and look here, this there is more please give it to me." Do not know him does. Then, if he refuses, draw his hand out and give it to you. I will give it to you. Applause. The L. L. A. does not compel the third state, we should even compel the second state. We believe the world will be reasonable enough when arguments are produced, to acquaint us to our demands and requests. to give Africa to the Africans, to whom it justly belongs. That is why we feel sure that when the appeal is made to the liberal-minded white people in America and the world, to restore the Negroes to their possessions, they will by justice and reason do so. I do not believe in provoking a man, but I am saying this emphatically to the world, as a friend of the world, that the Negro is in this attitude. If you place him in a corner where he must eventually die, he can equally die here. If the Negro realizes that the world desires to take from him these things that would make him comfortable, and he realizes that sooner or later he will die, then he will decide to die like a man, fighting for something worth while. Arousing Africa And that is why I would not like to see England or France arouse the sleeping passion of Africa, because I like peace and humanity too well. I am only endeavoring to interpret to the nations of the world the position of the sleeping Negro. England and France know it better than anybody else that if the Negro is determined, he can do pretty well what ever he chooses, and that he will go through the gates of hell without shrinking as he went through the Marne and Verdun, over the heights of Mesopotamia, as he fought on the battlefields of Flanders' because of the sentiment of Democracy, and because of the vision of Democracy. For that only he made those sacrifices. If he made such great sacrifices, only for the interpretation of a sentiment, how much will he not sacrifice for the vision of his liberty and manhood, and the freedom of his own soul? (Appeause). Therefore, let us be as human beings reasonable. It is impossible for us to have peace in the world so long as one part of the world keeps the other down. I am going to take up another phase of this subject tomorrow, and I trust those of you who are interested in this question will come out and bring your friends so that we can intelligently go into the discussion of this problem.

We must be as sympathetic to the white as he should be to us. With sympathy on both sides, the problem will be solved. The question may start in America, but will not end here. There are millions of our people all over the world. Sixty years ago our people were satisfied to be taken from fourOCK in the morning until night to work in the cotton fields, but we are living in a different world now. India and China and Africa will have changed conditions. It may be tomorrow, five, ten or a hundred years from now, but there is bound to be a change affecting humanity as a whole that will bring about a leveling of the things that affect the human race. So while we are in this period, let there be a friendly adjustment, otherwise we are going back to the same thing that is affecting Germany now, and will affect France in the future, namely, revenge. If we do not come to a sympathetic settlement of this human question now, I repeat, that war and rumors of war will repeat themselves until the doom WISCONSIN RAPIDS, WISC KILMIGHAEL, MISS. R. C. January 1, 1924 SPECIAL WARNING In view of the fact that many persons are representing themselves as being sent out by the Universal Negro Improvement Association but bearing no credentials, take warning that. In the future "no person or persons must be entertained without having in their possession proper credentials signed by the President-General and Secretary-General of the Association." Only these signatures must be recognized. $500 Reward If I Fail to Grow Hair Hair Root Hair Grower In a scientific vegetable compound of hair root, Alachite, together with several other positive herbs, thereafter making the most powerful harmless Hair Grower known, actually binding it to its base and making it easy to control for Dandruff Itching.

It is no use of ex-President Wilson talking about the League of Nations, or of Clemenceau c any other politician. There can be no League long as part of the world seeks to keep down the other. After Burglary—A Policeman Brother, you think you can come to my house, put me out, take all my clothes and money, and then talk to me about peace and justice, after you have beaten me and robbed me and knocked me down, talk to me about a League of Nations for peace? All the burglars get together after robbing the community and then say "Let us have peace." No, the policeman is hunting for the burglar, and the burglar will ever be safe until he is lodged in jail. There is not going to be peace until the world returns the stolen goods that they have robbed. They have plundered Africa, these five hundred years, as England has plundered India, and will that cease, there will be no peace in the world, notwithstanding all the plans of Wilson, Clemenceau and David Lloyd George. We have reached the point where there must be some sympathetic and intelligent adjustment of this question. I am appealing to the intelligence and culture of Washington to think this thing over. You college students, teachers and professors; you ordinary men who are living in this community, think this question over, and, then you will realize what Marcus Garvey and the U. N. L. A. are talking over. (Applause.) Signing Petition to Congress The President General, at the conclusion of this address, which was most enthusiastically applauded, announced to the audience that he had a petition which was intended to be submitted to the President of the United States, and which was similar to one which will also be sent to the President of France and to the King of England, with regard to the rights of the Negro. He asked that they should attach their signature to the petition, which he read to them, and which he said every self-respecting Negro should sign. He further announced that a delegation had recently left for Africa, where they are taking up certain matters in regard to the future of the race in that continent. He also stated that already an ambassador to France, in the person of the Hon. J. J. Adams, who had been sent to represent the U. N. I. A., had been accorded a pleasing semi-official welcome. (Applause.) Soon another ambassador will be sent to England, and another to Japan; and he had no doubt that they will soon be able to make their influence felt in these countries. After the signature of the petition, and the singing of the National Anthem, the meeting dispersed. 815 PRICES SHASHED! 32 CALIBRE AUTOMATIC A valuable calibre 32 caliber automatic with 2.5 inch barrel suppress recoil your shot (only).

We had a procession which started at the west end of the town and which was under the care of the marshal, Mr. O'Brien, of Santiago. The procession made a grand showing, especially the uniformed ranks. The Cuban American and U. N. I. A. flags were carried in the march to Liberty Hall. On arriving at the hall the opening odor was sung, followed by prayer. The president then declared the meeting opened and delivered an eloquent ad dress. The president handed over the chair to Mr. G. Watson, ex-president of the Miranda division, who conducted the meeting in an able manner. Several interesting speeches, full of inspiration and fire, were delivered by the visitors and officers, and the audience showed their appreciation by prolonged and loud applause at the end of each speech. The musical program was a well arranged one and contributed, much towards making the evening a success. The meeting was brought to a close with the singing of the Ethiopian anthem. NUEVITAS, CUBA A very pleasant evening was spent by the Novyatvs division on Sunday, December 30, in the Theatre Campoamor of this town. A cantata entitled "The Nativity of Christ" was rendered by the choir of the above mentioned division. In spite of the railroad strike, which prevented quite a few from attending, the theatre was comfortably packed. An excellent program was rendered, which reflected great credit on the president, who was responsible for the training of those who took part in it. Mr. Stanley Muller, one of our legal Spanish-speaking members, took the chair and conducted the proceedings in a capable manner. On Sunday, January 6, a very pleasant function took place under the auspices of the ladies' division. This was nothing less than the unveiling of an autograph photograph of the President-General. The meeting was opened with the singing of the opening one "From Greenland's ley Mountains," followed by prayer. The president of the local, Mr. S. M. Stephenson, was in the chair. On account of the bad weather the attendance was not as large as was expected, but nevertheless a fair number turned out to witness the ceremony. The picture was covered with a beautiful veil of the colors of the Red, Black, and Green, held together by a sall tassel. The unveiling was done by the ladies of the division and, during the unveiling of the picture, the hymn, "God Bless Our President," was sung. Several addresses were delivered, and the meeting terminated with the singing of the U. N. A. L. anthem. Can You Sleep All Night? Or Must You Get Up Frequently by Reason of Bladder Trouble?

Name Street or B. F. L. City Hair Seed Magic Wonder Hair Grower PHILADELPHIA, PA. Dr. Fooloombo De Walt, African, Delivers Inspiring Address - Says Africa's Arms Are Open to Western Negroes On Sunday last, January 13, Liberty Hall, 604 South Seventeenth street, Philadelphia, was packed to overflowing while many turned away disappointed, not being able to get into the hall. Dr. Fooloombo De-Walt, native of Liberia, Africa, who is now a dental student at Howard University, Washington D. C., who has taken a degree in science at another university, was the chief attraction and principal speaker for the evening. Dr. De-Walt is a wonderful orator, and his remarks were sane and logical. He highly endorses the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, in that it advocates and encourages the repatriation of "Western Negroes" to the "homeland"; but, says the doctor, you cannot pick up the "natural wealth" of Africa, Gold, diamonds, and other minerals are there in abundance. Continuing, he said, "You will need modern machinery and appliances to get the wealth of the land. If the soil is properly tilled, you will have to reach up (instead of down as I saw in the South) to pick the cotton. Mahegany, cedar and other woods highly prized and priced in this country are used as firewood over there. Holding his audience spellbound for over an hour, he vividly described the conditions in the motherland. Q of 11,000,000 square miles of territory only 400,000 square miles are held by the two Negro governments, Liberia and Abyssinia. The rest of the black man's God given home, is divided between England, France, Belgium, Spain, Portugal and Italy. If Negroes of the Western World will listen to reason, if they will accept the "Truth" then the time is not for when Africa will be redeemed. Let the doctors, lawyers, artisans, teachers, skilled farmers, engineers go and prepare the way first. Such was the descriptive analysis of the country in which all Negroes are, or should be, interested. Philadelphia Division No. 10 has a new administrative cabinet. One that believes in "more work and less talk." One that realizes friends and foes alike are watching them. The year 1921 has brought renewed vigor, increased determination, fresh inspiration, and more hope to the thinking Negro who is conscious of his race. In the city of brotherly love there are many of the above mentioned, and linking our forces together we are working to the best interest of the Negro people of the world and the final redemption of everything Afraid. BANES. CUBA 1. On Sunday evening, the 50th of December, the Ramesh Division had a Sunday school cantata. The hall was packed to its capacity with the well-wishers and members of the local, Mr. C. M. Clarke, chapman, on behalf of the children, gave an address welcoming those present. He stressed the importance of giving the children the proper training which would prepare them to take the places of those who were now struggling to lay the foundation of African freedom. Mr. W. J. Minot, first vice-president, who acted as chairman, gave a wonderful address on the mission of Christ and the message which he brought to the world. He compared the work of the U. N. L. A. to that of the Redemerian, because it came to save a race which had been oppressed and downtrodden for centuries. There was a lengthy program consisting of songs, recitations and addresses. At the conclusion of the meeting the chairman thanked the audience for the support which they had given the children. Two babies were dedicated to the service of the U. N. L. A. after which the meeting was brought to a close. At 7:30 p. m. a mass meeting was held. This was also well attended. The president of the division, Mr. R. F. Blake, presided. Several interesting speeches were delivered and a fine musical program was rendered. The singing of the Ethiopian Anthem brought the meeting to a close. PETER JAMES. Special Pictures by Browning and Agnes by the Cress or Brown THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JANUARY 28, 1924 Sunday, December 23, will plong- be remembered in this division as the day when this local was officially received into the grand association, which is working for the uplifting of a race and the redemption of a continent. A large number of friends and members gathered to witness the unveiling of the charter. Precisely at 3:30 p. m. the members and well wishers of the local formed in line for the procession, which started from the residence of the lady president, Mrs. E. Raymond. Before the procession started, however, the Cuban anthem was played and an address given, in Spanish by Mr. Simins, the ex-president of the Manati division. The Ethiopian anthem followed and the procession then started, headed by the alcalde and his secretary, for Liberty Hall. The Black Cross nurses and juveniles made a fine showing and received great applause as they marched through the streets. Several were so impressed that they became members. On reaching Liberty Hall the place was found to be packed to its utmost capacity with an eager and enthusiastic crowd. The meeting was opened with prayer by the chaplain, who also spoke, taking his subject from the 13th Chapter of Jeremiah. His sermon was eloquent and left a deep impression on his audience. The hymn, "God of the Right, Our Battle Fight," was sung, after which an address by the president followed. After the singing of Hymn No. 134, the president introduced Mr. Simms as master of ceremonies for the evening, Mr. Simms delivered a masterly address on taking the chair. This address was in Spanish. One of the Cuban officials replied, wishing the organization all success and promising it every support so long as the members respected the law of the land in which they live. At this juncture the chairman announced that the unveiling of the charter would take place. The charter, which was covered with the Cuban and the U. N. L. A. flags, was unveiled by two juveniles, Miss Lillian and Master Ashton. While the Cuban flag was gradually lowered the national anthem, "Himno Bayamama," was played, after which the Red, Black and Green was lowered to the strangle of the Ethiopian anthem. Great credit is due the lady president, Miss Anita Raymond; Mr. A. E. Bridgeman, executive secretary, and the others who worked hard to make the event a success. The program was as follows: Song, "Enter Sweet Day of the Lord"; address, Mr. Robinson; address, Mr. Smith; recitation, Mrs. Raymond; address, the acting chapel; address, Mr. Stephenson; address, Mr. Weeks; piccolo solo, Mr. Stephenson; recitation, John Henry; song Juvenile; song, Messy, Stubbs and Sangster; recitation, Mrs. Lillian Williams; song, choir; recitation, Master Ashton; song, Messy; Lloyd and Linda; song, Messy; Sangster and Stubby; anthem, choir; recitation, Master Samuel; song, Messy, Smith and Thope; recitation, Mr. John Ent, N.

Thus brought the meeting to a close, with the singing of the Ethiopian National Anthem and Doxology. TORONTO. CANADA TORONTO. CANADA Although Sunday, the 5th, was a very cold and windy day and not an ideal one for putting out, even the bad weather was not enough to check the enthusiasm of the members and friends of the local. The program was in charge of Mrs. Gibbons, who conducted the meeting in an able manner. Mr. Walter Williams, a new convert to the U. N. I. A., was the special speaker of the evening. He delivered a forceful and logical address, which was listened to with rapt attention by the audience. Mr. Michael read a very interesting paper and the musical program rendered was of a high order. We regret to report the death of one of our most enthusiastic members, who departed this life on January 4. A large number of members and friends turned out to pay their respects to her remains in recognition of her faithful services to the division. E. ALLEYNE For girls.

FLORIDA, CUBA Sunday the 20th of December, 1823, was a gala day in Florida. A play entitled "The Redemption of Africa" was staged in the Liberty Hall. The hall was crowded with eager faces ready to bear the service which had been long and well advertised. The service began at 6:35 p.m. and lasted for 2½ hours. It was opened with the singing of the opening ode, "From Greenland's Ice Mountain" and afterwards a prayer was offered by the chaplain. The chairman was Mr. T. Samuel's. A short musical program preceded the play. Song, "Jehovah Reigneth," choir; recitation, "The Black and Green," Miss Jestina Baxton; recitation, "Beating Hearts," Miss R. Wray; song, "Children's Praise," choir; solo, "My Africa," Miss Hutchinson; recitation, "Africa," Master R. Bryan; solo, Miss Mothersill; recollection, "Cheer," Africa," Mise: Luna Gordon; song, "Heart the Angels," choir. At the end of the musical program the drama was staged. Ten persons took part in the play and acquitted themselves well in the presentation of the drama. Lying before the throne of Success and Power, Ethiopia is represented drooping in despair, Freedom, Right, Honor, Justice, Duty, Time and Zeal then enter to the strains of Himoo Bayamesa and each urges Ethiopia to arise and take her place on the throne, but she seems to heed them not. After much urging and the entrance of the red, the black and green, Ethiopia rises to her feet, takes her place on the throne and is growned with honor, Great credit is due to all those who took part in the play, but spectral mention must be made of the lady-president, Mrs. R Macintosh. Every one is working to make the local a success. INGENIO RIO CANTO, CUBA In spite of the fact that the small crop was in full swing, which many thought would have affected our attendance, the large number of members who turned out to the Sunday night meeting was proof positive that the spirit of determination is strong in this local. The program was a well arranged one and the address of an interesting nature. The first speaker was Mr. C. H. Hephram, who took as his snippet "The Great Teachers," and delivered an instructive talk on the great leaders throughout the ages. The second speaker of the evening was Mrs. Kamsay, who spoke for about thirty minutes. She issued a warning to the members to be prepared for the coming economic depression which was threatening the Negro. Our local nightingale, Mrs. Mary Carr Dole, who was absent from us for six months, once rame thrilled the audience with her beautiful voice. She rendered in a charming manner a solo, entitled, Why Does the Heathen Race?" After the reading of a few announcements the Ethiopian audience was sung and the meeting brought to a close. REPORTER CENTRAL FRANCISCO. CUBA The religious part of our meeting was opened by Mr. A. S. Brown, chapman of the division.

Much support was received from La'Celba Division, No. 116, which helped to make the occasion a memorable one. The program was lengthy and well arranged. The charter was unveiled by two little girls, Miss Flowers and Miss Clarke. The reading and explanation was done by Mrs. Anita Flowers, lady president, and Mr. Carter, delegate of Charter No. 116, of La Celta, made the comment, followed by his address, which will ever be remembered. He told of the friendly and kind feelings of his division toward the newly formed division, and promised that he would be instrumental in seeing that all help and support be given from time to time. He also spoke in glowing terms of the Honduran government for their sympathy with the Negro people, and hoped the day was not far distant when we would be in a position to show our thanks in deeds. Other speakers were Mr. M. Brooks, who acted as master of ceremonies. His address and comments were interesting and instructive. Mr. Mate gave suiting of a high order. After the chapelman had desired the service closed, Mr. S. Putin, vice-president, declared the meeting opened, Mr. J. Reid delivered an address which held the ambiance spiritual. A solo by Miss. Mary Laws was heartily enclosed, while Mr. E. Pearls spoke on the communal field of the association Mr. A. S.

Mesura Grant and Bally congratulated the officers and members of the division for their efforts in being able to create a division, and encouraged them to go forth in the same spirit. An attractive feature of the evening was the way in which the little laden recited their story prior to the unveiling of the charter. Little Miss Flowers, in a depressed manner, recited "What Will Become of Us," and Miss Clarke, with the faith of a new Negro, "Never Give Up," around much interest. Much praise is due to Mrs. Clarke, who undertook to prepare such appropriate recitations and songs that made the program such an interesting one. "She has had many difficulties in her endeavors, but with the go in her, and the love for her race she forged ahead to success. Another item of the program worthy of mention is a recitation by the lady president "My Native Land," which was well-applauded.

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.

McKeney, New York City..... 180 GARVEY SPEAKS ON THE "NAKEDNESS" OF NEGRO (Continued from page 3) his relationship to the Negro. You see how helpses the position is. The Understanding Between Southern and Northern Leaders. "There is fast becoming an understanding between the Southern leaders and the Northern leaders, and in another ten years, if not earlier, the Negro in the North is going to be in the same hellish position as the Negro in the South. And some of our Negro politicians are contributing also to the hastening of this day. These Negro politicians, who are crying out for a Negro in Congress, and for a Negro in the Senate, if they know what they were doing they would go about what they went in a more diplomatic and quiet way, because if they continue to antagonize the white man politically, and to show him what we mean, the ballot will be taken from us in the North, as God lives, as it was taken from us in the South during the days of the Reconstruction. The white man is no fool. The white man wouldn't give up this country even to Jesus Christ, much less to the Negro. (Laughter.) "Do you know what the white man has done? The white man has killed the Indian so as to get this country. Negroes, do you think he loves you better than he loves the Indian? If he killed the Indian, what will he do to us? He will send us to Heil, and further than Hell, if we come in competition with him for his country, which he has shed his blood for, and which he has sacrificed and died for." Neuro Improvement Association would like to see a Negro Senator and Congressman, but there are many ways to kill a dog, as I said before, than by rope around the dog's neck. Diplomacy is the medium through which intelligent people work toward the accomplishment of what they want. The Negro in America must be more diplomatic than he is, because he is a minority fighting against a majority, endeavoring to compete politically and industrially with the majority. We are at the mercy of the majority. Before a race of people can talk politics they must first lay a foundation of industry. You do not talk politics first; you have your meals first. (Laughter) then you talk politics afterwards. Until the Negro can insure his meals—until the Negro can guarantee his meals, he has to be very careful in America how he threatens the white man politically. 5,000 Negroes there to elect a rat to (Laughter). So long as the Negro other man, so perruited by the pre-ceremonial masters. The whis the master best the government. To Robert Abbott附计 of the National A Advancement of Co-operative how you can gros' future in the America. It calls to calls for diplomacy, leadership, and I trust with it at this time. HON. R. H. TOBI Hon. R. H. Tobi the lateness of the would be an imposit to make the set ad at the afternoon The Need for Able Leadership "This time, more than ever, the Negro America is capable leadership and statemanship. May God bless us with such a leadership at this hour. I am sorry I haven't time to develop this theme, but I will continue it tomorrow night in this hall, and I hope you will come out and be your friend. Suffice it to say the Universal Negro Impro- ment Association is on the side of all that suggest progress for the Negro. We want a Negro in the Sen- sate and a Negro in the house as bad as any other Negro wants it, but we really sometimes when you have your hand in the lion's mouth, we sense to easily and quietly take it out. You may want to kill the lion, but the best time to kill the lion is when the lion is fast asleep. If you, to compel to kill the lion any other time you may see the stars for the last time, I laughter. Therefore, you will understand what I mean—that it takes diplomacy and keen statesmanship to lead the Negro in America at this time as a minority group competing with a great majority whole that rules the nation through prejudice. The majority in a modern democracy will always rule. America is a democracy. America, therefore, accepts the established rule of democracy—that the majority must rule. The minority, therefore, can only originate, and will for ever originate, and will get no further aid to agitate, so long as the majority rules. That upon the hopeless position of the Negro in America. As a minority group, prejudice against him by the majority will never be able to improve our position from now until eternity. Now take that away, if nothing more. The Platform of the U. N. I. A. "That was the platform of the Universal Negro Improvement Association all the time. I talked on that and emphasized that for five years and the last week I was up in Washington. Speaking along the line, stepped off in Washington to address the Washington Division of our Association for two nights; and on Wednesday I went to the House of Representatives just to look in and also went into the Senate, and as stepped in the gallery of the House of Representatives there was a member of Congress from one of the Western States who was speaking on some that was before the House for about three or the days, and there were some of the words that enraged from him at the time I got there. It is all importance to count the indication of a minority, where no majority is held, the law must be uphold. Gentlemen, except you are going to stand for minority rule, which would be against the constitution of the United States of America, which would be a belief of the constitution of a modern democracy - except you are going to do that you cannot tolerate the indication of the minority in altering the laws laid down by the majority. So long as I am an American citizen, he said, so long as we live under a constitution of the majority, we in this Congress shall allow no minority no influence a majority opinion of the people of this nation. "He was a longgrassman. Now, analyze that and apply that to our agitation and to our face and you will find out that between now and eternity the Negro has no right to get under the constitution, because the constitution is interpreted by the majority for the good of the majority and not for the good of the minority. I trust you quite understand that. There are the things that force the Universal Negro Improvement Association to the one declaration and the one conclusion, that the Negro only holds his own in the world when he is able to build up a majority government of his own. (Applause). The Negro, being a minority in America, the Negro being a minority in a scattered world outside of Africa, and speaking that minorities have no voice, so to speak, constitutional rights in the governments of majorities, we say the best thing we can do is to link up these minorities into one great majority whole and thus lay down the pillars lay down the foundation of a great African empire. (Applause). Take that and think it out; but let me warn the politician - the Negro politician - let me warn Robert Abbott, of Chicago; let me warn Weldon Johnson, of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, that they are trifling with the destiny and the future of the American Negro by their seneless, rabid agitation for a Negro in the Senate and a Negro in the Cabinet and faunting that in the face of the white man. It is like dazzling a red rag before a bull. If you want to kill a bull don't be so foolish to take a red rag and expose it before him; he will gore you to death. If you want to get the bull, wait until the bull has eaten; wait until the bull is masticating its food - wait until the bull has held down to sleep and when you are sure that the bull is first aneep, then you can carry out your intention of strangling the bull. Now, I cannot make it plainer than that. I cannot give better advice to Weldon Johnson and Robert Abbott that that. Diplomacy Must Be Used "Surely, I repeat, the Universal Nuro Improvement Association would like to see a Negro Banator and Congressman, but there are many ways to kill a dog, as I said before, than, by rope around the dog's neck. Diplomacy is the medium through which intelligent people work toward the accomplishment of what they want. The Negro in America must be more diplomatic than he is, because he is a minority fighting against a majority, endeavoring to compete politically and industrially with the majority. We are at the mercy of the majority. Before a race of people can talk politics they must first lay a foundation of industry. You do not talk politics first; you have your meals first; (Laughter) then you talk politics afterwards. Until the Negro can insure his meals—until the Negro can guarantee his meals, he has to be very careful in America how he threatens the white man politically. "Do you know what politics is? Politics is the science of government that protects those human rights that are not protected by law. If you are thinking that the white man is contemplating. Negroes, governing them, you wait on for the realization of it. When the Negro starts to talk politics we means to indulge in government. And now we are talking about putting a Negro it the Senate putting a Negro in Congress. That is what the white man will never tolerate and especially when the Negro's existence depends on him to make it possible for such a Negro to talk politics and make law. If we want to go to the Senate—if we want to go to Congress, the first thing Robert Abbott and Weldon Johnson—those twoools—should do is to guarantee the bread and butter of the black men whom they want to vote for them. The man who feeds you calls your politics; and that is the danger I want to point out to Robert Abbott and Weldon Johnson of the National Association. Here we are in New York, 150,000 Negroes. Here we are in Chicago, where Robert Abbott lives, probably 150,000 or 200,000. It is true that we are strong enough in a Negro Senatorial or Congressional district to unifyly vote to send a Negro to Congress. Let it be so that we are strong enough in our Senatorial district to vote and send a Senator to the Senate, and the same way in Chicago. Just as a matter of race appeal Marus Garvey, a mole psychologist comes before you and says $10,000 of us here in Harlem constitute ourselves the strongest voters in the Southern district, we shall have a black man represent us in the Senate. All right you follow my advice and elect Garvey. I am elected to a job of $1,000, and the little raking down that I can get, and for the term my richest are insured. I have a good job, but you don't know the problem Marus Garvey has left behind him in Harlem. Yes, we elect Robert Abbei from Chicago to the same position as Garvey, but Abbei does not know the position he has left behind him in Chicago putting black men in the Senate, which grows the area of every other Senator and around the imagination of the country that they represent. It would not be more than 100 people before every Negro in Harlem and every Negro in Chicago would be the president and experience the position of sending Marus Garvey, only a momentment, to the Senate or to the House. White people are not free. We are not dealing with Negroes now we are dealing with white people with just plans and self progress. After Garvey appears to Congress, to the recruitment of the other members of Congress and to the humiliation of the white man whom Garvey defeated in the Negro congressional district do you know what will happen. All the leaders of the great parties will say we will have to take steps to remedy this thing right here. How come Garvey be here as a representative of New York? Then take up the political map of New York and the industrial map of New York. They also take the political map and the industrial map of Chicago and they sit down in committee meeting and examine these two maps and they have discovered in truth that 150,000 Negroes really live up in Harlem. That by the residence there of 150,000 Negroes it becomes possible for them to elect a Negro Congressman and a Negro Senator. They say "we never saw this thing and rearrange it." And so the Congressional Committee comes down to New York with its industrial map. The first man they go to is John Wanamaker, and they say "Mr. Wanamaker, how many Negroes you employ in your business down here? "Two thousand." "Do you know what happened in New York in the last two months? "No, what is it?" "Well, a Negro has elected Senator or Congressman from the Senatorial or Congressional district in Harlem." "Is that so?" "You have been in New York and don't know that?" "Well, Wanamaker, here you are a good Democrat or Republican; here you had a representative of your own race representing your industrial and commercial interests in Congress for the last ten years, and you sit down here and allow these Negroes up here to defeat your own interests and do not know it." John Wanamaker searches his head and says, "Is that so?" "Well, you know what you have to do?" Let those Negroes go tomorrow morning." They "Wanamaker's and they go to Gimbel Brothers." "Bay, Gimbel," how many Negroes have you employed here? "Five hundred." And they repeat the same instructions, and they make a tour of every employer in the city of New York who employs Negro labor, and they find out where the 150,000 Negroes are employed. By next week Negro has got his "walking papers" and every place puts up the sign "No colored wanted." You know what will happen in the space of thirty days, when all the Negroes in Harlem are out of employment. Nearly every Negro in Harlem will have to pack his little bag and move to some near-by city—to Detroit, to Philadelphia, to Pittsburgh, or to somewhere else to look for a new job. Where 150,000 Negroes lived forming this voting power in a Congressional district last week; next week you will find only 5,000 Negroes there—not even enough to select a rat to a cats' convention. (Laughter.) So long as the Negro is employed by the other man, so long must the Negro be ruled by the prejudice of his political masters. The white man is regarded as the master because he represents the government. Therefore my advice to Robert Abbott appl to Welden Johnson of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, to be careful how you temper with the Negro's future in the United States of America. It calls for statesmanship; it calls for diplomacy; it calls for keen leadership, and I trust God will bless us with it at this time. (Applause.) MON. R. H. TOBITY'S ADDRESS 'Hon. R. H. Tobitty said, owing to the lateness of the hour, felt it would be an imposition on his hearers to make the set address he had promised at the afternoon meeting. The Hon. G. H. Carrag, he said, had made a splendid interpretation of the practical side of religion, from which he was sure, all would be benefited. The Hon. Rudolph Smith had put in a nutshell, his, the speaker's own high-spots on the subject, "Strugging Upward," on which he had intended to speak. Reviewing the salient features in the president general's speech, Mr. Tobitty paid a compliment to the president general for the splendid work he had done in giving to the Negro a new hope, which was solely needed. Touching upon his appointment as ambassador to England, the speaker said he indeed felt, as one of the speakers had said, that he was being sent to heard the lion in his den, and he would take the advice of the president general and use common source, discretion and diplomacy, which, I did willing, would enable him to be of some service to his race in the capacity in which he was journeying to England. He was convinced that nothing could stop the ennush of the Universal Negro Improvement Association to liberty and true freedom for the four hundred million Negroes of the world, and if they would bear in mind the emblem of Japan, the three monkeys, all would be well. The three monkeys, he explained, were represented this way: On with both eyes half open, one with two index fingers sticking in the ears, and another with an index finger upon the lips. The meaning was clear. See and not see, hear and yet not hear, and talk little. And he felt that if Negroes do this in the fatigues, they would be able to beat the other fellow at his own grieve. The British were the best diplomat in the world, and he was aware that a difficult task was before him, but with God's old, which he had heard his hearers, always to seek, he would do the host he would to promote the interests of his race to whose service he had dedicated his life. (Appear.) HON. G. E. CARTER SPEAKS Hon. G. E. CARTER was the first preacher. He said, "When religion becomes an industry itself it is the treasured and they seem very great to the unimpaired." Religion is said, in nothing more or less than a form of worship and industry is some line of Christian practiced by people to make a profession. When, therefore, they form a form of worship in themselves, they will then and women praise their own form of worship in their trade. The Christian profession, for example, when it was a new profession by our father, was more attained to the ministry than to many professions in the industry, and to those who have not yet attained to a great master. It is therefore well with the promise of the priesthood to cast an art of mystery about religion, have more knowledge of the people to believe in the plan for future, but they always make use of the attribution of religion so that they would think that something strange and something that would have a tendency to get the people in. How well that purpose is to be seen in the law of men and women in the church today. No one church has a greater follower in Christendom than the Catholic Church and it is due to the fact that there is that spirit of mysticism about all of its worship and people do not stop to investigate or find anything for themselves, but they simply take the word of the priest and are content in accepting his word. We have no condemnation to bring upon anybody and his relation to us we do bring forth this one settled fact, that when we disregire religion of its mysticism, it is that people eyes are open to the truth and they no longer follow blindly lots of things that have been set forth by those who would follow and feed them. The speaker reported the teaching that tended to establish that there is something mysticous about Christ. "If no man can be like Christ," said Be. "Then Christ's coming on earth was of no effect, and He would have lived in vain. If man could not attain to the Christ's life, then He is not the Son of God, and the Good Book plainly said we are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus." We make a mistake, said Mr. Carter, when we come to that place in our existence where we firmly believe that God is infinite and we are finite. "You are infinite," he said, "as you have faith to conceit, the infinite. I mean by that you can be just as much like God as you yourself will determine by your faith in Him, and you can be just as much like somebody else as you can have faith to be." We live in a practical age and, therefore, we have got to face truth as it is today, and in facing that truth we reach one conclusion that God in the one supreme master mind of the universe, and that all creation is part of Him and, as we express in some form or the other, we set forth the divine that is within us. In conclusion, he prayed that God will help us to go forward in this way until we shall have achieved our purpose and when Africa shall be redeemed," men and" women who are practical in this age will take a part in the redemption of the motherland. MON. RUDOLPH SMITH SPEAKS ) Hon. Rudolph Smith was the next speaker. The theme of his talk was "The Negro as a Nation." He sketched the various stages of tranquility and inertia through which the Negro had passed and led up to the present time when, after the enslumination, a new spirit overtook the Negro. Leaders came upon the scene and pointed out the way through industry, education and otherwise whereby the Negro could attain to the same high status as other races. Today the Negro is now talking al out nationhood; he is talk- ARE YOUR KID Thousands of Men and Trouble and N YOUR KIDNEYS Bands of Men and Women Have Trouble and Never Suspect ARE YOUR KIDNEYS WEAK?

Good Money Made THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JANUARY 26, 1954 Investigación de la Administración Filipina Una de las investigaciones más completas que se hayan empleado nunca en el congreso de los Estados Unidos ha sido propuesta en el senado por el senador republicano Ladd de North Dakota. El propone que se estudio pormenorizadamente la administración del mayor general Leonard Wood en su carácter de gobernador de las Islas Filipinas. Labor Preliminar Para Una Nueva Colonizacion Africana —El Futuro de la Raza, Descansa en la Tierra de Sus Antepasados—El Continente Occidental Como Punto de Preparacion Para la Realizacion de Nuestros Grandes Servicios—Adquiriendo de Nuevo el Respeto de Las Demas Razas Pide al congreso la investigación de las actividades del general Wood en relación con el gobierno filipino, su legislatura, sus bancos, sus ferrocarriles, sus centrales azucareros y sus esfuerzos, si hizo algunos, para explutar la laisa en beneficio de los intereses commerciales norteamericanos. Considerando como uno de los tantos deberes de nuestra organización el poner a nuestro pueblo al corriente de todo cuanto concierne a sus intereses generales, nos place manifestar que el nuevo año que transcurre ha de ser un año de esfuerzo consolidado de parte de nuestro elemento universalmente, en pro del desenvolvimiento progresista y de la emancipación absoluta de la madre patria—el continente africano. Pidese también en la resolución presentada que se investigue el hecho del depósito de la cantidad de $31,449,219 de los fondos del gobierno filipino en los bancos norteamericanos y de las alegadas transactions en la bolsa por el gobernador Wood, sus subordinados en el ejercito, y por las personas asociadas con el. Los cables publicados recientemente de Manila sobre el particular comentaban el hecho de que el joven Osborne Wood, ayudante de su padre el gobernador de las Filipinas general Wood, habia logrado amasar una fortuna de un million de pesos en especulaciones en la bolsa de Nueva York, y las cuales habian sido objetadas por el secretario de guerra Weeks y ultimamente mandadas a parar. Africa, como todos sabemos, ha sido siempre una aguja magnética de attractación universal; sus productos minerales y agricolas han sido explotados por la avaricia de las razas y de las naciones colonizadoras. Con tal motivo Francia, Italia, Portugal y Bélgica se preparan de nuevo para fortalecer su poder y mas tarde extender toda su influencia por sobre todo aquel continente. El espiritu aventurero de Europa ha tenido sus miras en Africa tal vez desde la creación, y a ella ha ido enviando paulatinamente su pueblo. Con motivo de que se haeian otros cargos al mismo gobierno en el manejo mismo del gobierno en el archipiélago, el representante Frear presentó una resolución urgiente por una investigación de la alegada explotación de las lasas en beneficio de los capitalistas norteamericanos. Nuestra organización ha estado desde su iniciación alarmada con esa actitud de la vieja Europa, y por tal razón predica la unificación del sentimiento de nuestro pueblo, diseminado por sobre toda la superficie del globo. Si nosotros, la única raza con tal derecho, no nos esforzamos por adquirir el beneficio de su vasta riqueza, Africa, dentro de cinquenta años mas, será convertida en un nuevo país para las razas europeas, y será tan rudo y dificultoso para nosotros el extender allí nuestra existencia, como lo es actualmente en Europa y en America. Luego vinieron proyectos de resolución por los senadores King, La Follette, etc., urgiendo por la declaratoria de la independencia de las islas. La resolución del senador Ladd amplia la del representante Frear, cuyo estudio tiene en sus manos el comité sobre posesiones territoriales. La lucha en que nuestra organización esta empeñada al presente es el prevenir que los europeos se posesionen y conviertan en su propio hogar, el hogar que por ley divinia y humana a nuestra raza pertenece. Los europeos han poblado la America y Australia e hicieron grandes esfuerzos para poblar y dominar el Asia, pero sus proyectos fracasaron debido a la actividad y a la determinación del asiático. Si nuestra raza negligentemente permite al europeo la ejecución de su propósito en lo que a Africa concierne, debieramos desde este momento suspender toda actividad y resignarnos a que el tiempo se haga cargo de nuestra exterminación. CORRESPONDENCIA Habana, 9 de Enero de 1924 Prof. M. A. Figueroa. Editor Español del Negro World, Ciudad de Nueva York Señor: La presente tiene por objeto el enviar a Ud. mi más calurosa felicitación en este Año Nuevo, así como también por sus distintos editoriales en la sección española de su tan importante publicación, en los cuales pueden Ud. de relieve su fuerza animica en defensa de la sagrada conquista en que estamos empinados, si es que abrigamos la esperanza de llegar a ser gentes, y no entera a merced de todas las límnias. El europro tiene desde illo tempore delineado sus planes para conquistar y dominar al mundo, y comoquiera que estos no han de ser revelados a la nuestra ni a cualquier otra raza distintan, queda de nuestra parte el descubrimiento de su intención y la preparación para protejer nuestros intereses; esta es exclusivamente la labor de la asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra. Es nuestro deber en todo tiempo la protección de tales tereses y con esta responsabilidad descansando sobre nuestros propios hombros, continuamos hacia adelante stentando los colores de nuestro estandarte, para poner práctica por medio del esfuerzo unido, la idea de una raza emancipada y un Africa imperial redimida. El discusso pronunciado por el Hon Marcus Garvey en la ciudad de Washington delhi er, a mi juicio, publicado en varios idiomas, para que todo nuestro elemento pueda compenetrarse de la sabiduría y de la previsión que enciclran la elocuencia de ese grande hombre, quien esta predismina a desempeñar un importante papel en los complicados problemas de la sociedad humana. Dios os conceda larga vida y mayores brios a la par que al Hon Marcus Garvey, procer de la santa idea del derecho, quien nos conducirá por el camino del deber hacia ciudadanos de irlotas, gentes de parias y hombrees de sievers. Ninguna otra proposición la de satisfacer la aspiración de esta organización, que no sea la de un poderoso estado libre, en donde nuestro elemento tenga la oportunidad y los privilegios de la misma gloria que posee el blanco en America, en Europa y en Australia. Ella apela, por consiguiente, a la cooperación sincera de los pueblos negros del universo para llevar avante su programa—el desarrollo industrial, comercial y politico de la raza. Debemos y tenemos que colocarnos en posición tal, que las ótras razas y naciones del globo nos consideren y nos respeten como un pueblo, parte integrante de la gran familia humana. Respetuosamente. Julian Blain Tociano. Posponense Las Elecciones Dominicanas Las elecciones de la república Dominicana que se habían tijado para el 15 de noviembre tiltimo y que hubo necesidad de posponer a causa de que falaban algunos detalles por preparar adecuadamente en la maquinaria electoral, se celebraran el 15 de marzo entrane, según noticia del departamento de estado en Washington. Hemos de traer de nuevo a la mente de nuestro elemento en -el continente americano y en las antillas el hecho de que Africa ofrece aun a sus hijos la gran oportunidad de colonización, y del mismo modo que el hombre blanco, debido a las circunstancias, abandonó su tierra nativa para apoderarse de un nuevo mundo en pos de mejoramiento, debemos nosotros con mayor razón volver al regazo del hogar y con las mismas miras, abandonando el por algunos de nosotros tal llamado hogar, cuyo techo a cada momento se estremece sobre nuestras cabezas amenazando nuestra ruina. El nuevo gabinete se formó a principios de año, con el objeto de que cada uno de los dos partidos estuviera representado en el ejecutivo. En el nuevo gobierno, como está organizado, cada uno de los partidos tiene un número igual de representantes. Las proximas elecciones dominicanas serán las prieras que se celebran alli desde que comenzó en 1915 la ocupación por las tropas de los Estados Unidos. A la patria debemos retribuir los conocimientos adquiridos por medio de la educación-y de la cultura, dimanadas del contacto con la civilización de este hemisferio occidental durante trescientos años. Africa necesita ciencia, arte, industria, comercio; ella aclama a sus hijos doctores, profesores, hombres de negocios y capitanes de industria, por haber sido este nuevo mundo una gran catedra para un número considerable de nuestro elemento. Todos estos grandes conocimientos que hemos adquirido en los mejores colegios y universidades de Europa y de America, podrán ser aplicados con mayores ventajas en pro del desarrollo de la madre patria. De la misma manera que hemos laborado por seis años, constituyendo nuestro movimiento en la mas grande de las organizaciones universales, así hemos de continuar en el presente año y en los venideros, abrigando la esperanza de lleyar a la realización. la mayor parte de nuestro programa. Que tiempo preciso se requería, después, que se celebren las elecciones, para completar todas las materias necesarias antes de la retirada final de la ocupación norteamericana, no puede predecirse con certificumbre, pero en centros bien informados se cree que la asamblea constituyente que tendrá que revisar la constitución de la república y todos los otros trámites legislativos necesarios, pueden llevarse a cabo dentro de ocho meses, aunque es posible que se requiera alargar un poco de tiempo dicho periodo. Los candidatos, presidenciales de los dos partidos son el licenciado Francisco J. Peynado y el general Horacio Vásquez, después de la unión de este con el grupo que dirige el senor Vásquez. El agotanimiento de las cuotas de inmigranes de pales extranjeros han dado lugar a ordenes terminantes para aumentar la vigilancia en las aquasias a las autoridades de inmigración, con el objeto de imprimir el contrabando de extranjeros. Informes recibidos por el gobierno denuncian que de cincuenta a ciento cinquenta extranjeros cruzan diariamente la frontera de contrabando. A menos que el congreso decrete fondos para aumentar las patrullas de aduana, las autoridades de inmigración no tienen esperanza de poder contener el movimiento. Estas dicen que si en los puertos marítimos ha podido pararse ese contrabando, los que entran por la frontera mejicana no pueden contenerse si no se dispone de más cuerpos de vigilancia. Las patrullas de la frontera tienora ahora a su ciudad la responsabilidad de impedir el tráfico de contrabando de armas de guerra para los rebelde mejicanos, lo cual complica su trabajo, que ya es bastante con la atención de impedir la labor de los contrabandistas de licores y de drogas. Según noticias oficiales, una vez que ya están agotadas las cuotas extranjeras hasta el 30 de junio, los coyotes de la frontera, como se denominan a los criminales que ambulan por la frontera, están más activos con el objeto, de concentrar una clase numerosa de indescables sobre la frontera mejicana. De las pruebas recogidas por el gobierno se despereque que la probabilidad de obtener grandes recompensas en el contrabando de extranjeros, ha traído un nuevo tipo de criminal europeo a la frontera del país. El gobierno tiene informes de que hay una organización completa que se hace cargo del inmigrante en Europa, la garantiza pasaje, la entrada en Mejico y traerlo a salvo a la línea internacional norteamericana, por un precio determinado. Las eyes de inmigración mejicanas hacen posible la entrada de los anquistas al país sin dificultad. Grandeza del Periodismo Cuando tome en mis manos un periódico; cuando recorre las columnas; cuando considero la diversidad de su material y las riquezas de sus noticias, no puede menos de sentir un rapto de orgullo por la lcepa en que ha resplandecio el periodismo y a la vez compasión hacia los siglos que no conocieron este portento de la inteligencia humana; la creación de las creaciones. Todavía comprendo sociedad sin miapínas de vapor, sin telefíos, sin las mil manias días que la industria moderna ha concierto en la via trumfal del progreso, comida de tantos monumentos inmortales; pero no comprendo una società sin ese libro número de la prensa a periodica, en la cálida se registran una legión de escritores que debían ser sagrado, para los pueblos, vistas angustias, vistas vacaciones, vistros teminos y los grados de perfección que vamo al abandonar en la obra de realización ideal de la justicia a la luz de la tierra.

Pero no compasso que es hombre renuncie a leer un periódico, a pensar diariamente con el cerebro de toda la humanidad, a sentir con el corazon de todos los hombres, a mezclar su vida en el océano de la vida humana, viendo correr sobre sus ojos el viento de todas las ideas. Los antiguos chinos tenían una institución de historiadores.

Y. the purpose of the New World: remark and sense in your valuable pa- tition; expand it; New Your message to them throughout the lands in which we do it. The inspiration came from an old pen do no better than send with. And Past—Some five years ago we use the Universal Negro Improvement Association brought to us. After knowing the purpose of same we made many institutions to go forward. Yet we have arrived in the past. Now that the year 1924 has dawned upon us, let us off anew with new hope, pledging ourselves to hold fast to the principles of doctrine of this glorious movement in the building of a Negro Empire in the heartland Africa. somewhere in Holy Writ these words are written: "Come ye out among them and be separated, saith the Lord of Hosts. And ye shall be my people and I will be your God." You may say this is attributed to the Israelites, but if you observe carefully you will see that these words have reference to you today. Over three hundred years ago our forefathers were taken away forcibly from their native land to other parts of the world, and today you will find your brothers scattered among all nations of the earth, where you have been severely oppressed, so that in the year 1924 I would bring the tidings to you, Come ye out from among them and be separated"; then, when ye shall have fast the things which shall exalt them, placing you on firm footing with other people. He will be your God while you shall be His people. Therefore let us go forward, ever holding fast, resolving never to let go until we shall build a sound and firm foundation. Let us do these things in faith, knowing our reward is sure. Yes; Faith. St. Paul, preaching to the churches, said: "Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." Those people believed then through faith that if they held steadfastly to the preaching of St. Paul that, after death, they would inherit that Invisible Empire. How much more should we march on steadfastly, knowing that we have resolved to regain that visible empire, the land of our forefathers, the Continent of Africa! Hold fast to truth, to opportunity, be sincere in that which shall help you to climb high; yes, uphair and overcome segregation and intolerance, and be a people, a mighty nation, taking your place in the sun among others. Let me say to you, young men, who are delving into theology, Hold fast to Has Your Husband Got Indigestion? Nothing creates domestic discord quicker than an attack of indigestion, and nothing gets rid of indigestion quicker than Bisurated Magnesium. No can be sweet tempered, good matured or even fair minded when his stomach is constantly slick, sour, gassy and upset with after-coating distress. If you band his stomach trouble with soaked pills, please by seeing that he has a supply of Bisurated Magnesium tether powder or tablets), constantly at hand. A teaspoonful of powder or two tablets taken in a little water after meals will instantly neutralize the acids in his stomach that are causing his trouble and he can enjoy his meals with no more fear of indigestion. Bisurated Magnesium is the special form of Magnolia used by thousands to neutralize indigestion, and only overcome indigestion—do not confuse with Milk, Carbonate, Bliok or Citrate of Magnolia. Insist on Bisurated. Its action is safe, prompt and sure and it can be obtained at small cost from any reliable drug store. Ladies, Here Is a Chance to Air Your Views in Poetry or Prose Send in Your Articles, Poems and Short Stories Every Week to the principles of truth, and then, when you have possessed the knowledge, return and teach it to the people who need your guidance so that through your teachings they shall know and realise the sincerity of the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man. Also you, young men and women, who are out in the professional field, I exhort you to hold fast while going deeper into your separate callings, remembering that each of you has a part to play in the making of a nation. Shall our leaders be discouraged because of failure at the end of 1921, and shall they rebuke us in wrath for our neglectfulness? No. a thousand times no! Methinks I see Negroes arising from every clime and saying, like the gladiators of old. "We have held our ground, and not satisfied we have crossed over the enemy's lines and are now, standing firmly." Hold fast with a firm grip, until you shall surmount all obstacles, though many there are, and reach the goal—an African Empire. Keep in your thoughts that as in old days while other nations slept your forefathers built the schools of Memphis where Greece sent men to learn the arts of civilizations. On the banks of the Nile they studied astrology and mapped the stars; on the Isle of Moroc they built beautiful boutiques and the sphinxes which other people from the East journeyed to see; so you too shall be called upon to accomplish these things anew, whether shall be on the banks of Lake Taugamylia or in Nyasaland, Basutoland, Cape Coast Colony, the Congo or the Cameroons; but may you hold fast until these purposes and alms are accomplished, through the teachings of the U.

To the Editor, The Negro World: I venture at the beginning of this new year to appeal to the membership of the race to come forth like men and stand boldly for the cause of Africa. For many years we have been tightly held under the bonds of the other race, and still we are under them. It has pleased Almighty God to send forth one of our own, one who knows and has felt the pangs, to awaken us and show us the right. How much have we done in answer to his call? have we yet responded? To those of you, my fellow men, who still remain dormant, I now say, for God's sake, for self's sake and for the sake of the cause of Africa, awake!
