The Negro World

The indispensable Weekly The Voice of the Awakened Negro Negro World A Newspaper Devoted solely to the Interests of the Negro Race Reaching the Memorandum The Best Advertising Medium VOL. XV. No. 25 NEW YORK SATURDAY FEBRUARY 2, 1824 PRICE: FIVE CENTS IN GREATER NEW YORK NEGRO WRITERS FOR WHITE NEWSPAPERS AND MAGAZINES SELL OUT AND EXPOSE THEIR RACE Fellow Men of the Negro Race, Greeting: Recently a few Negroes who class themselves as "intellectuals," a distinction assumed without any other merit than vanity, have been writing articles for some of the white magazines and newspapers published in America and elsewhere very damaging to the race. Many of these writers sell these articles for a living, and they generally write just what the magazines or newspapers desire. An article is generally accepted, not for its truthfulness or fairness, but because of its propaganda value to the paper that purchases it. If a paper is advocating propaganda inimical to the interests of the Negro, it will not buy an article that is favorable to the Negro, but such articles that will show up the worse side of him and expose the nakedness of the race. Among such writers we have had recently W. E. B. Du Bois and Eric D. Waldron. Harm That Negro Writers Do As an indication of the harm such writers do to the race, unconsciously, no doubt, playing into the hands of keener and wiser men, I quote for your information extracts of an article written by Eric Waldron for the New York World, and published in that paper on Sunday, the 27th inst. The article is supposed to be a pen picture of the success of Heman E. Perry, president of the Standard Life Insurance Company of Atlanta, Ga., and also president of eleven other corporations and two banks, whom Waldron tries to make out as one of the most successful Negro business men in America. Waldron claims that Heman E. Perry started life as a poor man ten years ago, starting the Standard Life Insurance Company; that his salary at the present time is $75,000 annually, but that he is worth in his own personal right $8,000,000, while the aggregate assets of all his companies, including Standard Life Insurance Company of Atlanta, amounts to only $13,500,000, not stating at the same time their liabilities. Now, Waldron, no doubt, believes that he has done a wonderful lot in writing such an article for the New York World, receiving for it probably $12.00 or $25.00; but he does not realize that he has held up Mr. Heman E. Perry before the thinking white world and thinking Negroes, not as a successful business man, but as a "poor" man who is worth $8,000,000 after being identified with Negro companies for ten years, drawing a salary at the maximum of $75,000 annually. Fortune on Short Notice Where did he get the $8,000,000 from? That is the question that intelligent people will ask after reading the so-called tribute to Mr. Perry by Waldron. Waldron did not tell us that Mr. Perry made his money out of stock investments in Wall Street or investments in oil or profitable securities or bonds; but he tells in his article that Mr. Perry is president of these Negro concerns at a salary of $75,000 per year, yet after ten years he is worth $8,000,000 and his companies worth only $13,500,000 assets, without stating their liabilities. Following are the introductory statements in Mr. Waldron's article: "It is not often that a man, son of a race that was once enslaved, to be specific, a Negro born ten years after the abolition of slavery—rises to the eminence that lifts Heman E. Perry to the skies as a leader and financier of the first water. "Of humble origin, the son of manumitted parents, Heman E. Perry, president of the Standard Life Insurance Company of Atlanta, Ga., chairman of the board of two banks and president of eleven corporations, all of whose assets aggregate $13,500,000, earns $75,000 annually, is insured for $1,000,000 and is worth in the neighborhood of $8,000,000. Oldest of Kind in United States "Last month I made a trip to Atlanta, where I had an opportunity to verify some of the things I had heard about Standard Life and its dynamic founder. "Founded in 1913, with a capital of $100,000, a surplus of $17,598.72. Standard Life is the oldest old line legal reserve insurance company operated by Negroes in the United States. It is the strongest link in a chain of thirty-five Negro companies, with a total of $50,000,000 worth of insurance in force on the lives of 1,100,000 Negroes." Trouble With Negro Enterprises The great trouble with Negro enterprises at the present time is that people who head them and work for them generally desire to get rich GREAT HARM BEING DONE BY SOME OF THESE PROFESSIONAL SCRIBBLERS SELL TO MAGAZINES ANY KIND OF A STORY, CARING NOT HOW DAMAGING WALROND CLAIMS THAT HERMAN PERRY, OF STANDARD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF ATLANTA, IS WORTH PERSONALLY $8,000,000 AFTER ONLY TEN YEARS OF ACTIVITIES WITH COMPANIES THE WHITE AND SENSIBLE PEOPLE CAN ONLY COME TO ONE CONCLUSION AFTER READING ARTICLE over night and too quickly. That is the cause of so many failures among Negroes. The average Negro who leaves school and enters into business among his people thinks that his first duty is to enrich himself at the expense of his clients; hence, when stock is taken it is generally found that out of the accumulation of capital and profit only one or two persons are benefited, and Mr. Waldron's article has gone far in further creating suspicion in this direction. The class of men who have indulged in the promotion of Negro enterprises, who have enriched themselves at the expense of their patrons, were the most severe in criticising and condemning the efforts of Marcus Garvey in the Black Star Line, no doubt believing that Garvey had the same method as they of accumulating wealth for himself at the expense of the people, as is customary, apparently, among certain Negro promoters. Failure of Black Star Line Fortunately, however, the failure of the Black Star Line brought out the fact that its promoter never even got his salary that was voted him of $5,000 a year, but, on the contrary, lost all of his investments in the operation of said company. This was hard for the average Negro promoter to believe, because he generally gets rich when his companies fail after proper investigation. Up to now, however, the only big Negro enterprise that has been rigidly examined, re-examined, investigated and re-investigated, is the Black Star Line, and that investigation began through prejudice, from the very first day it started to the day it was planned to be destroyed by the powers that be. Other Negro enterprises flourished without such investigation, and it is hoped that they will continue to so flourish, but not at the rate that the promoters will become millionaires while the companies are still struggling. Hope Statement Is Not True We hope that the statements that Mr. Waldron has made about Mr. Perry are not true, because it would not savor well for Mr. Perry, and we hope that Negroes who are endeavoring to enter into business will not take the statements made about Mr. Perry as an example of good business, because in so doing the Negro race will have more to suffer than gain by the further promotion of business enterprises among them, for all our enterprises would devolve into the success of one or two men who will make themselves millionaires at the expense of the people. More Co-operative Enterprises What we want now is co-operative enterprises where everybody will share in and be a part of the success and not one or two in ten or fifteen years making millions or billions, while the majority still starve. It is hard enough to find honesty in Negro business efforts today, because of the false notion of life that Negro employes have. Our experience teaches us that the average Negro employe in the Negro business believes that he is to get rich quick at the expense of his employer and other Negroes. This idea we are endeavoring to destroy, but Mr. Waldron's article does not help, because it encourages the Negro promoter to seek more of the desire to enrich him- self and to get $8,000,000 in ten years, as Mr. Perry is alleged to have done, rather than seeking to advance the interest of his race through business co-operation and honesty. Mr. Perry Should Defend Himself Against Waldron We hope that Mr. Perry for his own sake will write to the New York World and disavow the claims of Mr. Eric B. Waldron on his behalf, because if it stands as it is it will leave an immoral and shady impression. The Negro needs sympathetic business and industrial leaders, not men who will endeavor to promote business to enrich themselves, but who will foster industrial enterprises with the sole object of helping in the development of the race. Such men will not look for millions, but for satisfaction in knowing that they have served their race and their fellow men. This is the greatest of all success. Service to Race and Humanity Best It will be preferable to have it said of a man that he has built up great and large business and industrial institutions, finding employment for millions of his race, and is of ordinary financial circumstances, rather than have it said that he has in ten years promoted several business enterprises, starting as a poor man, and is worth $8,000,000 or $10,000,000, much more than all his combined enterprises are worth in assets. If one "poor" man out of a company can be worth $8,000,000 or $10,000,000, what of the other "poor" officers of the company? If all of them are worth in proportion what the first "poor" man is worth, what must we infer but that somebody has paid the price? Who can that somebody be but the ignorant, ignorant fortunate client? Let this not be said of the Negro in the future, as it has been in the past, but let us as industrial leaders, as statesmen, and as a people sympathetically work for the good of all, for the higher development of the race and not for our personal ends. Writers Should Be Careful Men like Du Bois and Waldron who write for white newspapers and magazines should be careful of what they state, because unwittingly the say things that play the race into the hands of the keen white critic, who is ever ready to condemn the Negro by his own performances. The World has got more satisfaction out of Waldron's article than the Negro will eva get. All deep-thinking white people will ask, "Why should we employ Negroes; why should we go out of our way to find employment for them when there are such men as Heman Perry, with personal fortunes of $8,000 000? Why shouldn't Negroes employ themselves?" Use Fortune to Benefit Race If Mr. Perry is worth $8,000,000, as Mr. Waldron states, in his own right, we hope he will use it for the benefit of his race, because now more than ever the Negro wants an industrial opening wherein he can find permanent employment to insure his existence. Mr. Perry, according to Mr. Waldron, being himself once a poor man, can appreciate the condition of the poor Negro, so we hope he will build up in his headquarters, Atlanta, some large industry that will find employment, not for one thousand Negroes, but for one hundred thousand. Real race patriots and leaders who have $8,000,000 should feel it a pleasure to be able to use that money for the industrial development of the race, so if Mr. Perry has this money, as Mr. Waldron states, it is hoped that he will use it wisely. At least the policy holders in the Standard Life Insurance Company of Atlanta should see to it that Mr. Perry uses his fortune wisely in their and their race's behalf. With very best wishes for your success, I have the honor to be UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION. New York, January 29, 1924. P. S.—Members, Chapters, Branches and Divisions of the Universal Negro Improvement. Association are again reminded to secure copies of the new constitution of the organization. Secretaries should write to the Parent Body and secure as many copies as are necessary for local distribution. Presidents, secretaries and officers are also requested to see that their monthly reports are properly made out and regularly submitted to headquarters. All members are further advised and requested to pay in their annual taxes, which secretaries will forward immediately to the Secretary-General's office with their reports. It is the duty of every Division, Branch and Chapter to become financial and thus insure the success of the 1924 program. oward University Faculty and Students Enthused Over Presentation of U.N.I.A. Program By Hon. Marcus Garvey UPHOLDS PROGRAMME OF U. N. I. A. TO STUDENTS AND MEMBERS OF FACULTY IN UNIVERSITY CHAPEL Personality and Relentless Logic of Gifted Leader a Revelation to Critical Audience On Thursday January 17, at 1:30 p.m. Mr. Marcus Garvey spoke at Howard University under the auspices of the Howard Branch of the N. A. A. C. P. and the Carribean Club. Mr. A. Crofton Gilbert, president of the Howard branch of the N. A. A. C. P. and also of the Carribean Club. presided. The presiding officer, in introducing the speaker, pointed out the fact that the students and faculty of Howard University represent a group which are in search of the truth, and that while the speaker has enthroned himself in the hearts of many, yet there are some who disagree with him. Therefore, the presiding officer stated that it was the duty of the students of Howard to hear the speaker reveal his program as he sees it, before they should come to any conclusions. At this point the speaker was presented to the faculty and students of Howard. Mr. Rucker led the varsity bell, and the applause given the speaker could be heard some distance away. Indeed it was a greeting beating one who has done so much for his race. The seating capacity of the chapel was by far inadequate for the accommodation of the students and members of the faculty. Mr. Garvey's Speech Then, with unusual poise and balance, the speaker began to reveal the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. The program of the organization which he represents, stated Mr. Garvey, was two fold, (1) To unite into one body the 400,000.-000 Negroes of the world, and (2) To build a nation in Africa for Negroes. The speaker then stated that since we are at the mercy of a ruling majority in America, and of a different race, was unreasonable for us to expect to be able now or at any other time to give full expression to our own racial personality. The minority can never attain the highest place in a majority rule. Thus he clearly showed how interwoven is the Negro problem in America with the establishment of a nation in Africa for the Negroes. Nationhood is the highest ideal of a people, and hence the solution of the Negro problem is in the establishment of a nation by the Negroes. Mr. Garvey then turned his attention to that phase of his program which deals with Negro colonization in Africa. He argued that the scheme of colonization in Africa is for the purpose of leading up to the establishment of a nation in Africa for Negroes. If we lose Africa we lose all. The motto of the U N L A is: "No Law but Strength; No necessity but Power" (Othnies nations are colonizing Africa for exploitation but Negroes should colonize for internal organization, in politics, in medicine, in law and religion. Not the religion and missionaries that we find in Africa today, but the religion taught by Negroes for the development of their own people). We cannot expect others to do for ourselves that which we should do for ourselves. In discussing the question of produce Mr. Gayre arrives that produce is more a 2 part of condition than it is of color. Weakness is inferiority. So long as the Negro certifies to borrow culture produced by white men long will he be inferior. The Negro must enter the field of production. It is foolish and unreasonable for Negroes of the United States and other parts of the world to expect the white man to give owe to him freely that which he has labored and sacrificed to attain. At this point the bell for the 2 ockel classes rang and Mr. Gayre CARNEGIE HALL NEW YORK Tuesday Afternoon, Feb. 5, at 3 Last Recital Before Fourth European Tour THE COLORED TENOR ROLAND HAYES TICKETS AT BOX OFFICE $1.00, $1.50, $2.00 brought his speech to a close by making an appeal to the students of Howard to appreciate the opportunities that white men were making possible for them, but at the same time to remember that the solution of the Negro problem lies within themselves, and, if they fail, the race is lost. White we and the members of the U. N. I. A. are laying the foundation, it will be the duty of the students now in preparation to raise the edifice. Congratulations When Mr. Garvey had brought his speech to a close he was given a warm reception by both students and members of the faculty, who congratulated him for coming to Howard and addressing them. Professor W. L. Hansberg, professor of Negro history, Howard University, and Mr. Gilbert escorted Mr. Garvey and his secretary to Professor Hansberg's private office, where they spent the afternoon reviewing pictures of ancient Ethiopian culture. Mr. Garvey's coming to Howard University to speak was esteemed by students and faculty, alike as a fortunate event. The sincerity of purpose, the earnestness of character, and the perfec- tious logical program of the speaker were potent factors in increasing his friends and admirers at Howard University. Professor Gregory, head of the department of public speaking and dramatic art, in commenting on the speech from the standpoint of presentation and content considers it one among the few good speeches he was ever heard. Dean Kelly Miller considers Mr. Garvey's speech as one of the best ever delivered in the University Chapel. A. CROFTON GILBERT. 10,000 Virgin Islanders in New York Organized and Working Under Leadership of Casper Holstein To the Editor of the Negro World: The most prominent Virgin Islander in Harlem that has not lost the "common touch," that is not ashamed of the island that gave him birth, that is busy doing things of benefit to his suffering comrades on the Islands, and who expends time and money in publicity of their cause, is Casper Holstein, president of the Virgin Islands Congressional Council, who is a natural born organizer with an uncommon knowledge of the psychology of his people. When we consider that a little over one year ago Virgin Islanders in the United States could not岛防 of a permanent organization with a constructive program to relieve the economic thrill and political pressure in the Islands, it will be self-evident to many open-minded persons what a tired worker is Mr. Holstein. At a recent meeting I saw a large body of men and women eager to support him in making real his program, and I heard twenty-eight applications for membership read the organization is growing by leaps and bounds. There are over 10,000 Virgin Islanders in the State of New York. They are not American citizens (2), but Mr. Holstein is determined by all that is true and holy that he going: to get this fact 'and the conditions of the people in the Islands before President Coolidge. Active in opposing the miserable deportation cases ordered by the Navy men in the Islands, an inquistente enemy and an irreconcilable opponent of Navy misrule and judicial tyranny, Mr. Holstein's name is heard in every household, but hated by certain officials in the Islands. He plans to organize a society in Chicago, while the writer has started the organization of a committee among white and colored Americans in this city, and will do likewise in Washington, Philadelphia and Boston, which he will visit before his return to the Islands. Mr. Holstein is a leader true and tried, and I plead so that each and every American who loves liberty will give him and his energetic followers all the support necessary to fight the cause of the Buttering people in those Islands that Uncle Sam bought and then forgot. ROTHSCHILD FRANCIS. New York, January 19. --In Virginia>422 in every 1,000 home occupied by Negro families are owned by them.

HAITIANS AND JAMAICANS FARE BADLY IN CUBA Men and Women Alike Robbed by Quarantine Regulations—British Consul Aware of the Situation, but Winks at It U. N. I. A. HAS SOLUTION To the Editor of the Negro World: It is impossible for a fair minded Negro to are the unserupulous games practiced here on our brethren, and say nothing of it. Such inhumane impatiences are not likely to be performed in any place where the representatives of such people are in active services and are dutiful. The victims of these games are the Negroes from Haiti and Jamaica. On making inquiries of passengers coming from Jamaica, I am told that those Jamaican who are able to pass as white are not approached with any of the games. I am now referring to, while those of a darker hue are forced to make all sorts of compliances, with the understanding that such will prevent them falling in any of the disadvantages. All Negroes arriving from Haiti and Jamaica are forced on departing to deposit seven dollars and fifty cents for the purpose of feeding them on the quarantine ground, in case they are quarantined—and that's always the case. The quarantine ground here, better known as the Negroes' health resort, is more a death resort than anything else. The meals are of the poorest kind, and for beds they are given bunks without even a bit of paper to make a spread. It is hard for the men, but when one sees that the women are treated in like manner then you are compelled to get up and do or die. The British Consul here is quite acquainted with all this, but blinds his eyes and deafens his ears to it all. It is strange to say that Negroes coming from other ports are not approached with any such thing. On a recent trip to some of the towns in the interior of the country I visited some of the hospitals there to find quite a number of our brothers who had recently left their health resort (the quarantine ground) in a deplorable state as a result of the effects of said quarantine ground. They suffered from severe colds, cramps and many other ailments. Very fortunately, for them (the sick ones), on nearly all the sugar plantations the dispensers of the hospitals are Jamaicans and members of the U. N. I. A., thus affording them superior assistance in recuperating. Inasmuch as we are aware of the fact that the game is a propaganda to keep out the Negro laborers and bring in Europeans, it should be admitted that much of the blame is due to the non-cooperativeness of the foreign West Indians here. As is well known, a people unorganized are counted as weak and the weak are always trampled. The authorities here recognize all and any sect, irrespective of color. It has been said here by one writer that a Spanish, Ceylan or Italian laborer individually is worth three Negroes where labor is concerned, but as to that those of us who have been on the island for sixteen years or more are able to contradict. From the year 1967 until this present year there has been a large number of sugar mills erected yearly and of a certainty we can assure the interested public that on every mill was found, 20 per cent. of the employees Negroes and Negroes from Jamaica, not only as laborers, but as tradesmen; while the Spaniards were given, the preference of the exnervation work and track laying. It is well to note that even though the Spanish and other laborers are so much talked of, yet from top to twenty-five dollars is being paid for a Negro laborer for the sugar cane farms, while not even a cent is offered for a white laborer. Why the waste? My appeal for 1924 to the Negro universally is, alight none of the things that affect our race, irrespective of threats. Note how much machinery is taking place of labor and how much it deters our progress. Here in Cuba many of the plantations, are using machines for painting houses, resulting in the unemployment of over two hundred men monthly where it is used. We have sprinklers traveling at the rate of forty miles an hour, killing the grass on the lines; then we have the machine, for cutting cane, which is not succeeding with perfection yet, but when it is then what will become of us whose principal dependence is on that product? I say, the Universal Negro Improvement Association will solve the problem if we but only adhere to its programme. I shall like to call to the attention of the readers in Cuba that owing to the fact that we are so poorly represented many are the times when one of our brothers gets hurt on some job and through not being acquainted with the laws never receives any recompense. Horse it is important that we strive for closer relationship and securing for ourselves a lawyer and a doctor for our defence. VICTOR H. RODRIGUEZ Bantiago de Cuba, Jan. 11. PROCLAMATION TO THE NEGRO PEOPLES OF THE WORLD By the power vested in me through the Constitution, as UPREME DEPUTY POTENTATE OF THE UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION, I hereby order and confer upon RICHARD HILTON TOBITY, Ambassador of the Universal Negro Improvement Association to Great Britain, the title of *SIR KNIGHT COMMANDER OF THE SUBLIME ORDER OF THE NILE*, as a mark of honor and appreciation for exemplary services rendered to the Negro race. All Negroes, by their sacred vows of loyalty to the cause Afric, shall honor this noble Knight for the honor bestowed upon him. Issued through the office of the O'Mealy. THE LABOR PARTY CONTROLS ENGLAND MACDONALD IS PREMIER Cablegram Sent by President-General of U. N. I. A. The most important happening in the world last week, was the assumption of the Government of Great Britain by the Labor party led by Ramsay Macdonald, who is now British Premier. The world was anxiously awaiting the result of the fall of the Baldwin Government in England, and it was mildly surprised in learning that the Laborites had succeeded in taking over the affairs of State. Premier Macdonald immediately named his Cabinet which will be responsible for the destiny of the British Empire until other changes are effected. His cabinet is comprised of some of the most liberal minds of the Labor and Socialist parties of England, and it is hoped that they will pilot the ship of state to success. The following cables were immediately dispatched by the President-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association to Premier Macdonald and to His Chancellor of the Exchequer, Hon. Phillip Snowden; Cable to Macdonald "January 24. 1924. 'Hon. Ramsay Macdonald, British Premier. 10 Downing Street, London: "The Universal Negro Improvement Association, representing the four hundred million Negroes of the world, sends you greeting on the triumph of labor in Great Britain and on your elevation to the Premiership of the nation. As Negroes fighting for our independence and a nation of our own in our mother and Africa, we shall look to your meritorious party for help and consideration. May you live long to administer the affairs of your country. "MARCUS GARVEY. President General, Universal Negro Improvement Association and Provisional, President of Africa. "56 West 135th Street." Cable to Snowden "January 24, 1924. Philip Snowden." "Please accept the congratulations of the four hundred million Negroes of the world for the triumph of labor in England and your elevation to the Exchequer as Chancellor. The Universal Negro Improvement Association looks to you and your party as friends of the Negro race in their light for national independence in Africa. Long live the new chancellor.

RACIAL·MELTING POT IS PROPOSED AT BELOIT COLLEGE An Experiment Toward World Peace, Says White Dean BELOIT, Wis. Jan. 18. A proposal to make Beloit College an institution for bringing together representatives of all the races of the world, in an attempt to effect racial understanding which would make for world peace, has been made to members of the board of college trustees by Dr. George L. Collie, dean of the school and widely known anthropologist. The proposal was made public in an address giving charges of duty to President Irving Mauer, new executive of Beloit College. Dr. Collie has held a professorship at Beloit more than thirty years, has been acting president twice and dean of men for eighteen years. The plan is feasible. Dr. Collie asserts. It would bring-selected students here from all the races and subdivisions of the race. Briefly it would constitute an ethnological laboratory comprising an annual student personnel as follows: American students, 40 per cent. Equi- ropeans, 20; Aviation, 20; South Ameri- icans, 10, and Africans, 10 per cent. The friends of Russia were rudely shocked last week when the news was flashed abroad that Premier Lenin, the leader of the Russian people, had passed away. Lenin had been sailing for some time, but it was hoped that he would have been spared for a long while to advise and lead his people to the perfection of the new government that they had established through the revolution of 1917. Lenin was highly thought of by a large number of the world's populace. At the same time he had made a large number of enemies, especially among those peoples and nations that were afraid of his new plan of social democracy. On learning of the death of the Russian Premier, the President-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association sent the following cable to the All-Soviet Congress in Moscow; Message of Sympathy "Please accept the deep sorrow and condolence of the four hundred million Negroes of the world over the death of Nikolai Lenin, and the irreparable loss of the Russian people. To us Lenin was one of the world's greatest benefactors. Long life to the Soviet Government of Russia.

WORLD WAR OF RACES PREDICTED BY WIEGAND German Historian Sees Two Wars With Mixed Races Successful in the Second —India Storm Center By KARL H. VON WIEGAND In Universal Service BERLIN, Dec. 24. A vast colonial uprising against the "white yoke" extending from Morocco to China is homing up on the horizon of history. "That is the prophecy of Dr. Max Kemmerich, of Munich, who has become quite famous through the accuracy of predictions in the past, based on his "Casual Laws in History" which he claims to have discovered. Kemmerich is called the "history prophet." He is a Doctor of Philosophy and the author of numerous works on the subject of periodicity, anilogy and recurrence in history. Dr. Kemmerich told me that the colored races of the greater part of the world would within the next three years rise against the white man and try to shake off his domination, and make themselves free and independent. The struggle will be long and one of the bloodiest in history, he says. Its center will be India. After years of fighting and much success in the first period the technical knowledge and science of the white race will, according to Kemmerich, be victorious over the vastly greater numbers of the yellow, brown and black races. The real struggle for the domination of the world between the colored races and the white man will come later, and then the white race will be defeated. "Connected closely with the worldwide colonial uprising will come a war between Japan and the United States," said Dr. Kemmerich. He does not think that the Japanese earthquake in any way will influence a prevention of that war or even a postponement of it. Germany, says Kemmerich, will be in a state of "revolution" punctuated by civil wars, for another period of ten years. A Hohenzollern monarchy will return, but disappear dramatically "almost over night." Striking Contrast in Favor of French Policy—Equal Treatment of All Subjects Only Safe Policy—Labor Minister's Frank Talk ENGLISHMEN WAKING UP Mr. Jullus G. M. Preville of Cristobal, Canal Zone, has sent us a copy of the Panama Star and Herald containing the following article republished by it from the St. Vincent Times, which will be of general interest to the readers of The Negro World: The future position of the colored people in the British Empire, is occupying an important place in the thoughts of English writers, and the likelihood is that England will adopt the example of France with regard to her treatment of her colored and black subjects. Sir Harry Johnson has, many years ago, shown to the English people that the colored subjects of the empire can be turned to great benefit, and compared the position of the French Negro and colored, subjects with that of the colored and Negro subjects of the British Empire, and thus showed a vast difference of treatment between them both. Quite recently the attention of the British people was called to France and the loyalty of her black subjects. This was done by no less a person than Sir Valentine Chirol in a jetter to the London "Times." He told Englishmen that they should study the means by which France infuses into her black subjects the most intense loyalty. In France, says he, there is no color prejudice. Sir Sydney Oliver, late Governor of Jamaica, has been also addressing himself to the English people on their virtues. He told them in the "Contemporary Review" of October that the virtues on which they pride themselves are not monopolized by the white race. This is a glad awakening of the English people about which we redefine. The British Empire includes land in almost every part of the habitable globe and upon which there is a considerable number of colored and black people. These peoples are every day striving for equal treatment to that given by the French to their subjects and this is a reasonable demand. The colored and black subjects of the Crown are extremely loyal and are in many cases more loyal than Englishmen themselves. It is not natural and reasonable that the colored and black subjects of the Crown should ask and receive equal protection and welcome as well as equal political and social treatment to that received by other people of the empire? The sooner the British people realize this, the better for the empire. The British Negro is a loyal subject and is so even with indifferent treatment. There are quite a number of organizations now in existence which are attending toward the withdrawals of the Negro's loyalty to the crown; and this will be the inevitable result if the responsible people of England do not wake up and accord to these Negro subjects their reasonable requests. It is said by some that the empire is large enough to accommodate all. This is a fact which cannot be doubted, hence all deserving Negro subjects of the empire should be allowed to attain to all that, he desires. The life of the empire depends upon equal treatment of the colored and black peoples of it. They are prepared to shed the last drop of blood for it if only they are assured and it can be proved to them in a visible manner that they will have equal treatment with others of the empire. Now that this question is once more touched upon we hope that British statesmen would take it up seriously and so establish the policy of equal treatment, both political and social, to all subjects of the empire. If this is done it will tend to remove the need for such organizations as are being formed for the withdrawal of the loyalty of British subjects from the crown. The British Empire is being seriously looked at with regard to its growing power, and some believe it will be the governing power of the world. This certainly is the future, position of this world-wide Empire, but this position is dependent upon the policy of equal treatment in every respect to all subjects of the empire. Note—Sir Sydney, Oliver, it will be recalled is a member of the labor ministry of Great Britain. He is in charge of the Indian Office.—Ed. Negro World. Burns Filipino Town In War on Colorums MANILA, Jan. 24—One constabulary soldier and two fanatics were killed in a clash on Bucaa Island, off the coast of Mindanao, where members of the religious society of Colorums have been causing trouble. The town of Socorro, where fanatics had intrenched themselves, has been burned by Col. Bowers, constabulary commander of Surigao, who believes that its destruction will result in collapse of the uprising. Col. Bowers, who recently asked for reinforcements in measures to pacify the fanatics after they had killed nineteen constabulary soldiers and lost eighty of their own number, telegraphed today that he landed at Socorro with 100 men under cover of machines gun fire from the gunboat Sacramento. BATH, England, Jan. 12.—Labor members of the Bath City Council, having made strong objection to certain sentiments contained in two hymns in the new school hymn book, the council's educational committee decided to eliminate the offending verses. One hymn thus edited is the well known "All things bright and beautiful." The lines challenged as being offensive to working people and their children were: The rich man in his castle. The lines objected to in another hymn were: God has given each his station. Some have riches and high place. Some have newly homes and labor. All may have His precious grace. In the debate, Councillor Van Sonner contended it would be a mistake to delete the verse from the first hymn. He said the passage has been much misunderstood; it means that the poor man is standing at his own gate, not at the rich man's castle gate. "Poor or rich children are very fond of this hymn," said Councillor Van Sonner. "It captivates their fancy." "Christ, never meant that children should sing such a verse," retorted Councillor Tiley, a Laborite. The discussion ended with the decision to cut out the verse. 2,200,682 Fords Set New Record in 1923 DETROIT, Jan. 24.—The Ford Motor Company made 2,200,883 automobiles, trucks and tractors in 1923—775,055 more than in any previous year, it announced today. Of the total, 1,915,455 automobiles and trucks were made in this country, and 176,474 in foreign plants. To these are added 101,988 tractors and 7,825 Lincoln cars. The company expects to exceed this figure in 1924, and early in the spring will begin producing 10,000 cars daily.

N. I. A. LIBERTY HALL, New York, Sunday Night, Jan. 27—the cold wave that has gripped New York for the past two days and sent the mercury hovering around the zero mark had its effect upon the attendance in Liberty Hall tonight, which showed a noticeable falling off. Nevertheless, the goodly number who attended, being once inside the hall, were oblivious to the chilly blasts that prevailed outside, and were as warm as usual in their enthusiasm. Speeches of a highly interesting character were delivered by Hon. Marcus Garvey, President-General; Hon. William L. Sherrell, First Assistant Presidet at General, and Hon. P. L. Burroughs, Second Assistant Secretary-General. Mr. Sherrell spoke from the subject, "The Name, Negro," his choice of this subject being made because of an article which appeared recently in "The Chicago Defender," wherein the writer issued a manifesto declaring that he offered the Negro in America would renounce that name and be known as a plain "American." Mr. Sherrell made a masterly dissertation on the subject and took severity to task the editor of "The Chicago Defender" in his attempt to mislead the race. His name "Negro," he pointed out, and had come to the designation for the group of people and the more change of name would serve no useful purpose in changing conditions. What was needed, he declared, was not a change of name, but achievements on the part of the Negro that would change his condition, and this would be brought about when the Negro can build for himself a government, for as long as the Negro remains in his weak, unorganized state the world is going to have a tendency not to respect him, but to mistreat him. "As long as the Negro remains as a parasite upon other governments," said Mr. Sherrell, "the world is going to maintain its impression of him, and the thing that is going to change this impression is when the Negro has proven to the world that he is able to bring forth and evolve the same things that others have brought forth and evolved. Now, standing what the world may do under the leadership of the Universal Negro Improvement Association are going to stick together, work together, and sacrifice together until that name is ACIDS IN STOMACH CAUSE INDIGESTION Create Gas, Sourness and Pain. How to Treat. Medical authorities state that nearly nine-tenths of the cases of stomach trouble, indigestion, sourness, burning, gas, bloating, nausea, cramp due to an excess of acidic chloride acid in the stomach and not as some believe to a lack of digestive juices. The delicate stomach lining is irritated, digestion is delayed and food sources, causing the digestible symptoms which every sufferer knows so well. Artificial digestants are not needed in such cases and may do real harm. Try laying aside all digestive aids and instead get from any drugist a few ounces of Indicated Magnesium and lea a teaspoonful in a quarter glass of water right after eating. This sweetens the stomach, prevents the formation of excess acid and there is no sourness, gas pain, or numbed Magnesia (in powder tablet form) over liquid of milk) is harmless to the stomach, inexpensive, to take and is the most efficient form of magnesia for stomach purposes. It is used by thousands of people who enjoy their meals with no more fear of indigestion.

C. dignified and all the world looks up to it with respect and honor." Mr. Garvey, in a speech on the subject of "The Passing of Russia's Great Man," paid a tribute of respect and sympathy on behalf of the Universal, Negro Improvement Association to Lenin, the late lamented leader of Soviet Russia, at whose death the whole world mourned. He depleted Lenin as one of the world's greatest characters, who exemplified the right of the majority to rule. The four hundred million Negroes of the world, he said, should mourn over the death of this great man, because Russia promised great hope not only to Negroes, ut to all the weaker peoples of the world. Russia, through her social democratic system, promised a revolution to the world that would truly and indeed enamble the souls of men everywhere. Following is the text of the speeches: HON, MARCUS GARVEY'S AD- DRESS Mr. Garvey took as his subject, "The Faces of Russia's Great Man." He said: "Somewhere in Moscow today was lowered into a grave the body the mortal remains, of one of Russia's greatest characters and probably the greatest man in the world between 1917 and the hour of 1924 when he breathed his last and took his flight from this world. Some people, the privileged class and their representatives, speak of Lenin in terms not very complimentary. They call him names not calculated to enhance his standing among the unthinking peoples of the world. But they say these mean things of Lenin because he was a reformer. They say these things of him as they said them of Christ who came nearly two thousand years ago to spiritually reform the world. It was Lenin who in disguise about five years ago marched up to a certain building in Russia, even though they were looking for him and searching, for him—this man whom they regarded as a traitor, as a disrupter of the peace and a revolutionist, marched into a gathering of his compatriots and in a few words declared for the freedom of the new Russia. And at that hour the revolution, that we read of took out of the hands of the privileged class the destiny of Russia's government, the destiny of Russia's people. For over five years Lenin and Trotsky were able to hold the Russian peasantry together and established for the first time in modern days a social democratic government, a government wherein the people ruled. Oration Divided Opinion is divided in the world about Lenin. Some think him a great man, a great benefactor, a great reformer, a great leader and a great teacher. Others look upon him with admiration, with scorn, with contempt. The class that has been kept down, the class that has been exploited and robbed looked to Lenin as a savior. The class of the explorer and robber looked upon him as a revolutionist and a maven to society. That class is glad that Lenin is dead. But as they resolves over the death of this great man, so the millions of the peasantry of Russia and the millions of the oppressed of the world how their heads in solemn reverence, in sorrow and contempt over the loss of this great man. It is cold in Russia, very, very cold, much colder than it is in New York tonight, and you know how cold it is. It has been so in Russia for several days, and the Russian people think so highly of Lenin that for days they uncovered their heads, stood out in the open streets and took their turn, millions of them, one by one, for the privileges of entering into that building in order and in discipline to look for the last time upon the face of their savior, their leader and their emancipator. When millions of people will do that, you realize that they fully appreciate the cause to which the man gave his life and appreciated the man for the sacrifice made. Leader of the People Leader of the People "It is impossible to expect that all the people will think kindly of any one individual in the world, because there is a division of interests in the world; all peoples are not interested in the same thing. That is why we are divided into classes; that is why society is divided into different orders. Each class has its own representatives. Each class has its own leaders. If it were the King of England who was he pursued today, the aristocracy and the nobility of the world would mourn, because he was their representative, he was one of their number. If it were the President of France that was to be fowered into his grave this afternoon, the middle class of society would mourn and weep and express their sorrow because one of their number was taken away. But the class represented by an aristocratic king, the class represented by the so-called middle-class, people, are not the classes affected in the leadership of Lenin, because he was a leader of the common people. He was a leader of the peasantry, and there are so many of them. Emancipating the Souls of Men Therefore Lenin stands out greater than all because he was the representative of a larger number of people. Not only the peasantry of Russia innour for Lenin at this hour, but the peasantry of all Europe, the peasantry of the whole world mourn for Lenin because he was their leader. And we also, as Negroes, mourn for Lenin. Not one but the four hundred millions of us should mourn over the death of this great man, because Russia promised great hope not only to Negroes but to the weaker peoples of the world Russia through her social democratic system promised a revolution to the world that would truly and indeed emancipate the souls of men everywhere. Negroes have not yet gotten to realize the effect of certain world changes. We, of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, who lead have studied carefully and keenly the activities of Lenin and Trotsky. We have never before committed ourselves to any public opinion as touching the system of government now existing in Russia because we did not believe it politic, we did not believe it wise. The social democratic soviet government of Russia is not yet recognized by all the other governments of the world. Only a few recognized governments have recognized Russia. The governments of the capitalist class, the governments of the privileged class have refused to recognize Russia as a government. They are still scooking and hoping that another revolution will be enacted in Russia that will take the power and control of government out of the hands of the peasantry and pass it back into the hands of the privileged class. At that hour all the other governments not yet recognizing Russia will recognize her government. But we of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, as I said, had our own opinion, had our own idea in the matter of the new government of Russia. And it is without any hesitancy, without any reserve, we could not but favor the existence of a social democratic government in Russia or in any other part of the world, because we are of the class that rules in Russia and naturally our sympathy should be with the people who feel with us, who suffer with us. Expecting the Impossible Expecting the Impossible "The Russian Socialist government is still an experiment. The outer world judges it without sympathy. They expect that in five years Lenin and Trotsky could have made their government so perfect as to justify its existence. It is impossible. During the reign of the czar, the masses, the poasnity of Russia, were kept in such ignorance that they were not cognizant of their existence. It is this unutored, unwieldy mass that Lenin and Trotsky took and made a government of, made a nation of. It is impossible, therefore, to expect that such people who lived for ages under the most crude systems of civilization, the crudest systems of twentieth century culture could have demonstrated the worthiness of their government as a social democracy in five years. It was impossible for the world to expect them to reach a state of perfection when they, the privileged class, who controlled for centuries, have yet to demonstrate that perfection, and it is because of that lack of perfection among them that we have had wars and rumors of wars between 1914 and 1915. Time Will Indorse Russia "I believe, in time, that the whole world will take on the social democratic system of government now existing in Russia. It is only a question of time, I say. England is the first to have reached out for this perfect state of social democratic control among its peoples. What England is doing tonight is what Russia taught them to do through the revolution of Lenin and Trotsky. The British people are better appreciated in their social democratic government as led by the British Labor Party because the British people have had a better system of training, they have had a better system of education. The average Englishman is an educated man, an intelligent man, and that is why they are able today to reach out in a social democratic government without arousing in any way the suspicion of the world. But what Lenin and Trotsky attempted to do for Russia is just what Ramsay Macdonald is about to do for the British people, and that is, make the majority rule through labor. The laboring man in England, I said, is a more intelligent man than the laboring man in Russia.

The English people were able to force better consideration in that respect and because of that they are better able to rule now, and I feel sure that Raisay Macdonald and his government will demonstrate to the other monarchical governments of Europe that the best government after all is a social democracy. And I feel that when time has flown and passed away that Lenin and Trotsky will get their proper and due place in history. U. N. I. A. Sent Message of Sympathy U. N. I. A. Sent Message of Sympathy "We mourn with Russia over the death of this great man. We mourn with the proletariat of the world for the demise of the world's greatest leader. And, as it is customary, with us, we did not fall at the hour to pay our tribute to the All-Soviet Congress when the news was flagged to the world of the death of Lenin. Immediately we called the All-Soviet Congress expressing the sorrow and condolences of the 400,000,000 Negrouts of the world. Unfortunately, we have not yet sent an ambassador to Russia, but I feel sure that our message is conveyed and I feel sure that our message is received with as much respect and as much honor as the message of any other peoples or governments in the world. Trotaky's Greatness "So that we want you to take interest in those world events. The death of a man sometimes means a great deal to the world and to civilization. If some men dies the wheels of progress for certain peoples turn back probably for a century or a half. We trust it will not be so with Russia because Lenin was indeed the greatest of Russians. He brought Russia to a higher state of progress than any other Russian for hundreds and thousands of years. We trust, we do hope, that they will not destroy the work of this man and send Russia back to the ages of the past. As I said the death of a man sometimes means so much to a people, so much to a nation, because sometimes his ideals die with him. I trust and hope that the plan of a greater Russia, a greater Russia for a majority of Russians has not died with Lenin. Has not been buried with him. Unfortunately, immediately before his death there had sprung up among the Soviets such misunderstanding as to have didly them into factious. Trotsky, who was as important in the revolution as Lenin, was ostracized from the party. I also regard Trotsky with great respect, with great reverence. I believe him to be a great leader and a great patriot, and I hope as I understand that it is most likely, that the death of Lenin will bring about a reconciliation between the factions and the parties of the Soviets so that unifiedly they can go on perpetuating the social democracy for which they fought and for which they bled and for which Lenin has died." Lenin Risked All "It is painful to those of us who do appreciate ideals to see how little a place which would help in saving a person or in redeeming a race. I feel that the ideals of Lenin were then and later and that there are no better ideals in Russia today than those for which he stood, and I hope Russia will not fall back into the hands of the monarchies. I trust Russia will not fall back into the hands of the privileged class, but that the peasantry of that great country will continue to perpetuate the government for which this great man struggled, for which he eksped his all-Lenin, when he started the revolution that seized the government from the privileged class and turned it over to the peasantry, risked everything he had. He was sought for on every hotel. They were looking for him everywhere, and he was in their gates, and in their very midst, he declared for the revolution that brought about the changes. A man of such courage, a man of such locality, of such patriotism to his class, is worthy of honor, is worthy of respect, and in his death he is worthy of the sorrow of the condolence of all. not only of his_class, but of all mankind. Lessons to Be Learnt "We also will have days of sorrow so we march on from one condition to the other. We will also have to lose our great men. We will also have to lose our great men. We will be better able to appreciate them when they die, when they pass out of this world, by being able to appreciate the sacrifices, or leaders of other races, appreciate them for the sacrifice they make for their own people. We are not Russians. We are Negroes. But we can learn lessons from this. It is the lesson that Russia teaches that interests me, the lesson wherein a majority of the people are able to rule, to establish a government. All majorities should rule. It is the law of modern democracy. All majorities should rule. And that is why we suffer so in this country, because the majority rule. The majority will always rule. The majority should always rule. And it is because we realize our importance as minorities scattered here and there that we are endeavoring to link these minorities into a great majority, that we also may rule. I trust that you will therefore appreciate the situation. I trust that when you read things said about Leon you will be able to have your own opinion and form your own conclusion. The average Negro is led away by what he reads, he is led away by what he hears. You do not always read the best of the individual. You do not always hear the best of individuals, and it is rather unsafe for any one to form an opinion just by what he has read or just by what he has seen or heard. Opinion should be formed only after most careful examination of the truth. And I trust that will be the attitude of the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association at all times. You are not to form your opinion about men and about measures just by what you read or by what you hear, but you must place yourself in the position mentally where you are able to discriminate until you have found the truth, then you will go and pass your opinion on the truth. The Case of Lloyd George A list of unkind things will be laid of London. A lot of unkind things are said of the world's greatest leaders and benefactors. But if we want to form our opinion about leaders and individuals who are probably before the public on the strength of what is written and what is said, we today would have very low levels because very few men would be high enough to be leaders. In very few men can be the censure of the people who interests they do not represent in advocacy of right for the greatest number. Take the case of *Lloyd George* of England. David Lloyd George spring from the common people. A time he was just a so-called British subject or English citizen. He leaving from one of the poor families of Wales and when he was strumming up with his ideal service to the crown, the crown of the constitution, when he was strumming up with the desire of service to humanity, the privileged occupation of living that called him a demonic role, that called him an immortal of names. They said he was revolutionist, a Socialist; they did not tell of him who believed in virtue of the Goddess. But David Lloyd George those of the people who believed in him who he was giving expression to them to bring and to present their desires. World's one of the most influential David Lloyd George with the one of the most humble men now while the other called himself a member of the class. He possessed stood behind him and he himself became into power, not be him, because one of the privileged classes on the privileged leaders of the country and after a while he became a member of the Empire, because he was a full event conferred upon him to succeed him and he himself was the first to express his feelings to Lloyd George was a Lloyd, but he was spurned to such an extent that the authority of England and the authority of the Empire had to reverence and respect Lloyd George for the occasion.

Form Your Own Judgment "And so you will find in history past and history that is being made by the world leaders, you will not expect the best things to be said about them. The last things are not said about Christ. I took time to be men started to pay homage and respect to the name of Christ. In Christ's day they said as vile and wicked and hurtful things about him as they said about Leon during his lifetime, as they said about David. George as they said about all perversions. I am advising the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association to get yourselves in a frame of mind to do minute work on what is written and said and form your own opinions only on the truth. Leon o in was a great man. Leon to us was a savior of his people or a savior of our country. Leon to us has pointed the way where the majority of the people will rise and Leon is praised the way for greater codification of government of which humanity will. I have have peace and perfect peace (Agreement). HON. P. L. BURROWS SPEAKS Hon P. L. Barrysay was the first speaker. Speaking of the enamulation of the Nero, he did there have been from attempts made to enamulate the Nero's great Britain, about 90 years ago, tried the claves and then America did the same thing a little over fifty years ago. The enamulation, however, the speaker said was only a physical enamulation—the granting of freedom to a people who was proscribed and accused of method, but placing it the same time a limit to the opportunities to which they should aspire. The first real attempt to enamulate the Nero was made by a black man Toussaint Touvartine was the first man who was enamulated to free the Nero people who alluded to be in a small war he nevertheless made them enamulate, but not the enamulation of them treated. But the first job was left to another Nero in the manner of one present leader Hon P. L. Barrysay. It was the biggest enamulation attempt in the past. role, and today, whether we believed it or not, the Universal Negro Improvement Association is the sole arbiter of the destiny of the 400,000,000 Negroes of the world. The time has come, then when Negroes must realize that they are playing a part in the greatest and most colossal program that was ever attempted by any individual. Each one of us must do this part, and unless we realize the certain amount of responsibility that rests on our shoulders as individuals the work will go on, but not as fast as it should. The clarion call has gone throughout the length and breadth of the universe. No man living who has intelligence to hear, read and understand, can gay honestly that he does not know of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. It therefore devolves upon us to hold up the hands of the greatest Negro that ever came upon the scene, and help him to put the program over. By doing so we will not only emulate ourselves, but will lay the foundation for our children and our children's children. HON. WILLIAM SHERRILL SPEAKS HON. WILLIAM SHERRILL SPEAKS Hon. William L. Sherrell was the next speaker. He said: I have but one message to bring to you from Baltimore, and that is the people send their greetings. Notwithstanding the fact that the members of the Baltimore Division have had to put up a pretty stiff fight in the last few months, they have been able to weather the storm and are on the upward road toward a greater Baltimore Division than they have ever had in the history of that great U. N. L. A. work there. The Name Negro I am going to speak to you tonight on the subject: "The Name Negro." In approaching this subject the first question that suggests itself to us is: there anything in a name? These of us who have given any study at all to it know that all names have history; whether they be scientific names or domestic names, or whether they be names of countries-all names of a history. Names in themselves mean little or nothing. They only become worth while when those names have behind them personalities or things (Continued on page 6). that you will not fail to reply to me as soon as you get this. Trusting you are well and with kind regard, yours sincerely. CONDITIONS I HAITI ARE What has Great Britain to fear from the free and fair discussion in The Negro World of her policies towards her Negro subjects in the West Indies and Africa, and her subjects in India? What has she to fear from the repatriation policy of the Universal Negro Improvement Association? If her policies were just and fair she would have none. And here is the rub. Tyranny always tries to entrench itself behind restrictive and oppressive laws, and, in the long run, it always fails: Great Britain will fail. We read so much in the handwriting on the wall. She can't stifle The Negro World por stop the propaganda of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. So much is written in The Book. LABOR VICTORY IN GREAT BRITAIN ABLOODLESS revolution, which echoed around the world, was accomplished Monday of last week, when the King of Great Britain called upon Ramsay Macdonald to form a Ministry, as an outcome of the late elections, which resulted in the election of three sets of party candidates, neither of which was able to carry on without a coalition with one of the others. This was accomplished by the coalition of the Labor and Liberal parties with the Tory party in opposition. How long Premier Macdonald will be able to hold the slippery reins of power will depend upon circumstances. He starts off with a nation-wide strike of railway and other labor organizations on his hands, and with the proverbial misunderstandings and bickerings that appear to be inseparable from trades union labor organizations. The ascendency of the Labor party in British politics is a thing no Tory ever expected to live to see. It is more marked in its significance and bearings on the destiny of British subjects than the wiping out of the Jewish question by the calling of Benjamin Disraeli by Queen Victoria to form a cabinet. It really signifies the decadence of the British royal and noble rule which has so long dominated the politics of the British Empire and influenced in a large way the politics of Europe if not America. But it follows in the wake of the democratic advance made in the aftermath of the Napoleonic wars and which is now dominant in France, Germany, Italy, Austria, Russia and Spain, in all of which the rule of kings and nobility has been discarded or very greatly circumscribed in its effectiveness. The United States and Canada and the Latin American States are all administered on the republican principle of "the consent of the governed." The British Dominion colonies are all moving in the direction of self-government, with less and less dependence on the Home Government. The fact that there is a Labor Premier of Great Britain should make for the betterment of the labor conditions of the black as well as the white subjects of the British Commonwealth of Nations, but, so far in their history, trades unionism in those Nations has not favored the equality of black with white labor, and in England itself black labor will not be tolerated at all upon terms of membership and equality, except in isolated cases, the returning soldiers from the World War having driven out by violence and the action of the government the black laborers from the colonies who were employed in Great Britain as a war measure. There is a movement on foot in South Africa to unionize black labor, as a protection to white labor, but we are not advised how far the movement has progressed. It will remain to be seen what effects for good the success of the Labor party in Great Britain will have on the black subjects of the Commonwealth in the West Indies, in Africa and in India. They should have much to hope for and little to lose. We suspend judgment and shall be governed by developments as we go along in the unfolding of the policies of the British Labor party.

OUR AMBASSADOR TO THE COURT OF ST. JAMES THE readers of The Negr World, we have no doubt, read with interest the announcement made by President General Marcus Garvey of the appointment of Sir Richard Hilton Tobitt, Knight Commander of the Sublime Order of the Nile, to represent at the Court of St. James, under the auspices of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, the Negro people of the world, and the high and responsible duties with which he is charged, as published in The World last week. Sir Richard is a true and tried member of the association, and brings to his high office a fipe personality, intelligence and experience in intellectual pursuits, and is qualified in every way to protect the interests entrusted to him. The enthusiasm with which the great audience in Liberty Hall received the announcement of his appointment showed the very high esteem in which Sir Richard is held. The association already has such a representative at the Court of France, and it is the purpose to appoint representatives to other European Courts as we go along. Such representatives are needed at those courts to watch the course of events in Europe, especially as they affect the Negro people, of the world, and to do all that is possible to protect those interests, while at the same time keeping the Parent Body well informed. The world is moving very rapidly in Europe and the Negro people of the world are necessarily affected by such movement, as they are for the present, and for the most part, dominated by the European Powers. It is the business of the Universal Negro Improvement Association to keep in close touch with the world as it moves everywhere. THE PASSING OF THE RED TERRORIST RESTLESS spirits come and go on the stage of human activity with the regularity that morning follows evening. Sometimes they prove to be only a flash in the pan and sometimes they prove to be demoniac in the work of destruction or construction, consistent only in doing the one or the other thing. Where they come from and where they go are equally mysteries. They mostly come out of humble parentage and surroundings, and the world is all the more confused by them and their doings on that account. Such a creature was Nicolai Lenin, Premier of Russja, who died at Gorky, a suburb of Moscow, Monday of last week. There are use worrying about trouble. It was here when we came into this world, and it will be here when we go out of it.—Richmond Planet. Every possible encouragement and opportunity should be given to the youth of today and every business man and individual who is concerned with the affairs of his people should select his understudy in order that in the years that follow the next generation may carry on and on until supremacy is their. While our rivals in the race of life seek to keep us under a perpetual handle, it is entirely who that we should match their plans with our own whereby we may be stripped of every weight.—Chicago Whip. Lenin was a revolutionist, a reformer, if you will, an iconoclast. It was his business to destroy the old order, to tear down the whole fabric of society as he found it, and to substitute something better upon the ruins if possible, not only for Russia but for all the world. Put he failed. He failed because mankind cannot be governed and prosper without a capable, tolerant administration of government, a methodical industrial and financial system working in harmony and sympathy with the systems of other Nations, as mankind age interdependent in these vital matters, and without a moral philosophy that comprehends the highest and best in human life and aspiration. Lenin tried to build a system of administration without these and failed. He had to go back, partly, to the old industrial and financial system, at least. Before he did so, however, he succeeded in sowing deep the seed of social, civil and economic discontent and revolution among the industrial workers of the world. Lenin had no more respect for human life and property values than Marat and Robespierre, the master demoniacs of the French Revolution. He tore down the tyranny of the Czar by the methods of the Red Terrorist and built on the ruins the tyranny of the Soviet proletariat, the vengeful spirit of the Bolshevik. The passing of such a man as Lenin is as important in its bearing on the destinies of Europe as the passing of Napoleon Bonaparte. The Klan is plotting against us daily. Their propaganda is being spread daily, and they gather at midnight and subtly swear enmity against us.

While we know in truth that every age is to the youth of the generations thereof an age of hope and opportunity we also consistently hold to the idea of the psychological moment for action. That writer of the past indeed spoke well when he said: "There is a tide in the affairs of men, which, when taken at the flood, leads on to fortune." The flood-tide of world affairs today offers an opportunity to young Negroes that has been unquelled in a thousand years. An opportunity, a situation that only young men can handle, because it calls not only for faith and wisdom but also for courage and darling. We believe strongly in the old adage, "Old men for counsel, young men for war."—Chicago Enterprise. CENSORSHIP OF THE MAIL OF THE ASSOCIATION THE right of a government to place a censorship upon the mail of a citizen, periodical, newspaper or corporation, whether foreign or domestic, is not disputed, but justification for such censorship is not always possible. Governments, like individuals, often do things for which they have no justification, but, whenever they do them, those who are aggrieved have an appeal to the law, or to the public opinion which makes the law in the last analysis and compels enforcement of it. We have constant statements from South Africa and other British territory that the free circulation of The Negro World is not permitted and that mail addressed to the Universal Negro Improvement Association is detained and often returned to the sender. It is a great hardship, which we do not consider to be justified, and from which we appeal. Some one has suggested a memorial to those sacrilegious patrons of education who came from family, influence, and friends in the North and taught Negro boys and girls in this city at a time when such service meant absolute ostracism from their social caste. The idea is a good one, but those old missionaries wrought to their memory while they lived greater than we will ever be able to perpetuate through material things.

Nisbett of New York, an occasional contributor to The Negro World, had an article in the issue of July 7, last, which came to the notice of a member of the New York Local now residing at a place in Sierra Leone, South Africa, whose name and address we do not feel at liberty to publish, in which he says:* I had for long been anxious to have some one with whom I could hold conversations, as as to be in touch with the happenings of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and our God-sent leader. And especially, more so as we here have been harried of The Negro World by the authorities. You will be glad to learn that I am a member of the New York Local and also a fellowship to The Negro World. But for a very long time now I have not had a single copy. Only just two days ago I managed to slip into my hands from which I get your address. I trust I will not mistaken when I choose another a friend.

The question or representation in the body politic of this great State for all people, is one which should, and must be, met. For if thesemblance of a square deal is not given to our group, somebody is going to wake up to the fact that they will be missing when most needed. The Negro vote in this county and State has raked the cheesemuts from the fire on divers occasions for both men and measures, and ingratiate has been the reward. The average person need not pay any attention to those dissenting ministers for, after all is said and done, they have not been converted and consequently have not seen the light, the divine light. True knowledge comes through humility and not bigotry nor bead-strong intellectuation. Most doubling ministers have fettled to comprehend and digest their theological training, if they have had any. Then, too, many are filled with the greed for money first, and then a passion for personal popularity. These they try to obtain by and through educationalism, which is entirely contrary to the Christian teachings and comfort. It matters not what these mercenary ministers say, continue to worship God, in the true, old-fashioned way, and you will get to heaven. Let those fellows choose their own hereafter.—Red Bank (N. J.)

CONDITIONS IN HAITI ARE VERY BAD. By T. Thomas Fortune There is not a Negro anywhere who does not appreciate the forward act of President Coolidge in appointing an All-Race Commission to proceed to the Virgin Islands and investigate the conditions there which affect the people, the administration of their government and in their means of subsistence. When they were subjects of Denmark the people of the Virgin Islands were highly regarded and favored by the home government and enjoyed such a measure of social, civil and economic benefits as made the wisest of them oppose the sale of the islands to the United States. They were not bothered by the obtrusion of color prejudice in their social contact with the white residents; they were not discriminated against in the official life of the islands, and they enjoyed a measure of economic independence because of the sugar industry and the port advantages of their harbors. But American naval administration, the Volstead act and new port regulations have changed everything for the worse, and, as a majority of the people are of the Negro race, it was a splendid thing for the President to name an All-Race Commission to make an investigation of the condition of the people. Now, I am sure, it would be in keeping with the broad and liberal policy of the President to send a like Commission to investigate conditions in the Republic of Haiti—Haiti, which is a member of the League of Nations. I have never seen any sufficient justification of the usurpation of the government of Haiti by the Wilson administration, nor any sufficient justification of the high-handed rule of the Military Occupation, under General Russell, with an obedient Haitien President and legislature of his choosing to do his bidding. The Senate Committee of Investigation and the brief visit of Naval Secretary Denby just whitewashed and excused everything alleged against the occupation, which, I am sure, does not satisfy the ends of justice and fair play, nor President Coolidge's opinion of what constitutes justice and fair play. Senator McCormick of Illinois, who was one of the Senate Committee that visited Haiti in a hurry; has, I understand, introduced a measure in the Senate authorizing the recall of the American Occupation and turning over to the Haitian people their country and government. I hope he has introduced such a measure and that the Senate, will pass it. We have no more business in Haiti than we have in Mexico. If the latest reports are true, the recent elections, in Haiti, under direction of General Russell, were conducted strictly on the Southern plan—with violence, intimidation and fraud, it being alleged that some of the ballot boxes were stolen, to insure the defeat of the Nationalist party, which was accomplished in true Southern bull-dozing fashion. The, Haitian people are and of right should be, free and independent. The United States has no justification for stealing, their sovereignty and ruling them as if they were so many slaves. We should all he gratified to have President Coolidge approach the Haitian situation in the same way that he has approached the Virgin Islands situation—with an open mind and a determination that, justice shall be done the Haitian people. The Government of the United States is the very last one on the earth to be guilty of usurping the government and enslaving the citizens of a friendly Power.

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 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. EUROPE'S DEMORALIZED FINANCIAL CONDITIONS France Is in Trouble With the Franc Because of "Allied Disunity and German Perfidy" (From the New York Evening Post) Over the world and in France the value of the franc has fallen and in France the price of bread, meat, shoes, wine, everything, has risen. There has begun a light from the franc, like that from the mark, but for vastly different reasons. The cause may be summed up very simply. German reparations were to restore French war-ruined areas and war pensions. Germany, as the world knows, defaulted deliberately and with malice afterthought. France has been paying the bill Germany should have paid and was pledged to pay. Back of the German default is a sordid, ugly chapter of Allied defaults. By the Treaty of Versailles the Allies were pledged to see that Germany paid. They have evoked that solemn contract, broken faith, and repudiated those pledges. France, bled white physically and financially by the war, took the word of her twenty-seven Allies and associates that Germany would be forced to pay. At that time these powers stood shoulder to shoulder. Germany was amply able to pay, for her money was sound and her injusticial structure untouched by war. Assured of final payment, France went to work changing shell holes into fields and heaps of ruins into villages. She has made good 85 per cent, of the damage and in doing has advanced 118,000,000,000 francs on the account of Germany, but her courage and her reliance on the pledged word of her Allies have brought her to the ragged rim of financial ruin. She can go no further in raising money the Germans should raise. Since 1918 France has had two budgets. One is her normal or ordinary budget, balanced in 1973 for the first time since the war. It showed receipts of 23,430,000,000 francs, according to the French Bureau of Information in the United States, and expenditures of 23,400,000,000. This is an "excellent showing, when it is considered that this includes running expenses of the government and the interest on about 300,000,000,000 francs borrowed in France during the war. The other budget represents exactly what France has advanced on the German account for pensions and restorations. It is called the "recoverable budget," since France expects to recover $100,000,000 francs from Germany. This is the pyramide burden that has emphasized the French financial situation, dragged down the franc, and forced up the cost of living. The French are clear-eyed realists and will face the thing as it is. They propose to add 29 per cent, to all taxes and 5,000,000,000 francs to the revenues abandoning proposals for increased expenditures in the trained areas; they will save 3,000,000 francs more and finally will refund the "recoverable" billions into the general budget. The French government may be insolvent, but the French people are solvent. France has no unemployment is virtually self-supporting.. her trade balances are not alarming.. economically she is strong. Courage and decision can check the fall of the franc, and the French never have been lacking in either. Had unity continued. France would not be in difficulties. France and her france would not be, victims of Allied THE NEGRO'S PART IN SEEKING NEW GODS Too Much Learning Hath Made Many Churchi Scholars Mad — Shall Ours Become Even So (From The New Haven New Idea) We have waited for some time to see an outstanding colored clergyman assert himself in the present controversy now going on in the white Protestant Church between the two functions known as the fundamentalists and the modernists. The white church has been verging on this controversy for more than two generations. With a far more drastic introduction of scientific study in the theological courses of the present day than had ever before entered into the curricula of the various seminars it was not surprising that the men thus trained would apply their knowledge to a new interpretation of the creed that had become static and meaningless to them. It isn't our purpose to assume a position in this matter which lies in the realm of theology. We know that the constituency of the, average colored community it made up of men and women that will not nurrender one lota of their belief regardless of the plausibility of the arguments of the new theology. But we agree with Kelley Miller, who personally holds to the fundamentalist position, that within a generation or two there will be a greater upheaval in the Negro Church regarding the introduction of modern theology than there is at the present time in the white church. The rising intellectual life of our people will precipitate a realignment of religious expression and faith before the year 2,000 arrives. The leading colored clergymen all recognize this. Why will not some great Metropolitan divine of our race assert himself on the present church issues? Is he afraid of the people, or that he will lose his standing in his denomination? All Negroes are not fundamentalists by any means. Who will be their spokesman among the outstanding pulpeteers of the race? Without 2,000 years of Christian tradition and the slavery to theological creeds and formulae the colored man with but a century of Christian background at the most, has a sterling opportunity to embrace the new theology, where it is useful and loyal to the Christ and make himself the voice of the coming generation for a modern conception of the religion of the Nazarene. Opportunity, knocks at the door but once. Who now will be ours and the world's modern Isaiah and any "Here am I, send me."

Germany would have paid, and there would never have been a "recoverable budget" with the billions of francs that stand today as an civil monument to Allied dignity and German perdure.

N. I. A. leader, who addressed meetings in Boston on Thursday and Friday of last week. "Sizing up" for the Boston Chronicle the position of the Negro in the United States at the outset of the new year. Mr. Garvey declared that in the "factional jealousy and friction among the so-called leaders of the Du Bols, Garvey, Pickens and Kelly Miller type" lay the greatest obstacle to that "co-operation" which he considered would be the keynote of any progress made during the new year. "And that obstacle will never be removed," asserted the U. N. I. A. leader, who had not hesitated to include himself among the factious leaders, "until the trained youth of the race asserts itself and assumes control. Because the petty jealousies among the leaders of the different groups into which the Negro is divided in this country are too deep-seated and have been the occasion of too many bitters, quarrels for the present regime of Negro leadership ever F.

Mr. Garvey readily indicted himself for that same distrust of the other fellow of which he accused the Negro "leader," in general. Sanhedrin Doomed "I am honest enough to say quickly," said the head of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, "that I could never get together on any harmonious program with Dr. W. E. B. Du Bols. I consider that he and his organization have done too much to injure me and block my work. And in the same way, Dr. Du Bols today is unwilling to meet me half-way in any plan for the general good. The difference between us that I'll admit the narrowness and selfishness of it, while Dr. Du Bols will not. "For that reason," asserted Mr. Garvey, the idea of a Negro 'Sanhedrin', advanced in a recent issue of this newspaper by Kelly Miller of Howard University, would fall of success. It is doomed unless it can first do away with the present crop of Negro 'leaders' These men will never get together on anything. They have done too much to injure each other for any reconciliation or mutual trust. And it is the old regime of this very type, which will dominate the proposed Sanhedrin. The only hope is in the possibility that the youth in these groups, who have not inherited their antagonisms, will step to the front." Asked if he himself would be willing to step aside to remove the "factional leadership" from, his own organization, Mr. Garvey replied that he would "if any man appeared big enough to guide the work" he had started. The development of a greater and more effective race consciousness Mr. Garvey named as his estimate of the most significant single advance of the Nexro in America during the year 1923, which he characterized as having failed, however, to mark the progress which should have been recorded. But in a quickened general response to "organization appeals like those of the N. A. A. C. "P. and the U. N. I. A," there was demonstrated, he asserted, a keener sense of race consciousness. Co-operation "Co-operation," in Marcus Garvey's expression of the greatest need for 1824. "Co-operation," he enlarged, "in a definite program of self-help among Negroes. Inter-racial co-operation may have its place, but co-operation, like most charities, begins at home. The Negro in this country has got to help himself, and stop looking for any help from the outside. So far, we haven't even learned that that's true." From that starting point, Marcus Garvey gave to the Chronicle his estimate of the Negro's position in America today, in an interview which reveals the philosophy upon which he asserts he has built up his U. N. I. A. work. From the high-lights of his answers to questions dropped the interesting Garveyisms which follow. From his own characterizations of men and movements may be drawn the peculiarities of Marcus Garvey's own outlook, and of the motives behind his work in the national organization which he heads. His opinions Mr. Garvey stated with emphatic conviction, but with a show of logic mingled with the finality of his "take-it-or-leave-it" presentation. A voice capable of varying modulation reflected good humor as he phrased carefully his answers to questions. Marcus Garvey's eyes follow the train of his thought, trying to read the effect upon his audience, and he gestures quietly to drive home a point. in America is simply stated: Political power rules in a democracy only as the group seeking its exercise is economically independent of the group it seeks to affect. The Negro in America says Garvey has no industrial foundation independent of the white majority which can therefore control him politically, preventing his effective use of that balance of power; he might normally hope to exercise as between the majority parties. In addition to this economic footing which is therefore necessary for the Negro, he should also be free to develop his own cultural contribution to a civilization in which he is at present largely a borrower. Both these ends Garvey thinks will be best achieved under a sovereignty in the only land open for him: Africa. With industrial state anywhere in Africa that concession is granted, politically sovereign, and expressing the Negro's own contribution to modern world, the Negroes of the world will have a background for increased respect of the white world. Therefore, of politics at home he says: "You can't play politics on an empty stomach." The white man in America today can make the Negro hungry, because the white man owns the job. The man who feeds you controls your ballot, and as long as the white man in America can cut off the support of the Negro, the Negro can never hope for any secure gains from the ballot. The Negro has got to stabilize his industrial condition and better himself industrially before he can hope for permanent gains from politics. "Calvin Coolidge is like most other American Presidents; he's a true white man—loyal to his race." To Garvey, "Dr. W. R. B. Dullons is a modern extremist with an idea that may materialize 2,000 years from now, when humanity has reached a cultural standard common to all races. For the twentieth century materialism it's a misguided ideal. The Negro has got to develop apart, and create his own government and industrial foundation equally with the other groups that are making contributions to modern civilization" says Garvey, "before he will get equal recognition. The present world is materialistic; it bows to political and industrial strength; the Negro today lacks both." Kelly Miller is another dreamer. He believes in humanity in general, as against any particular race, and therefore as a leader he's out of his time. The Negro today can't afford that doctrine; he's too far behind. Douglass and Washington Garvey thinks Frederick Douglas was "a useful abolitionist — the greatest of his group. His especial greatness lies in having sprung from practically nothing to create a high place for himself. He ranks with Booker T. Washington as the greatest man the race has produced in this country. Booker T. Washington, in Garvey's estimation, deserves highest place among Negroes of the Western world for having given the Negro in the United States "a race consciousness, with an ideal and a perfectly definite objective, at a time when the Negro was still drifting after slavery. Washington had a concrete message: Build in the soil, an industrial foundation." "The Negro Church," answered Garvey, is stagnant socially and politically. "Lack of vision among its leaders confines its activity to preaching religion and collecting money. In the face of a great race problem, Negroes are arguing whether Baptists or Methodists have the right idea of Discuss. With best four accomplishments, the Church has been of but little aid to the D. M. L. A., and Five disgraced that it's unable to appeal to them for Nheral support." The Negro press, he added, in "as disgrained politically as the Negro church. It is selfish, and a race in the making cannot afford selfish institutions." There's no monopoly on race prejudice. It's human nature, where a strong race and a weak race are brought together. The Negro is a cultural tramp in the political gutter of the world; When he evolves his own state," says Garvey, "built upon a solid industrial foundation, he will be standing upon his own feet, instead of walking dressed up in a borrowed civilization. That's why we're negotiating in Africa now for a colonizing concession, for the erection of Zion from which the Negro, standing on his own feet, can look the world in the face. "And when I want inspiration, I go South. It's not that the South is any worse than the North; it's just more honest. The Negro in the North is still a curiosity and protege of the Northern white man. The moment that he ceases to be a nongritty, and demonstrates political efficiency and power, he will find that his position is fixed by the owner of his job." The failure of the Black Star Line, admitted Mr. Garvey, undeniably gave a setback to the confidence of Negro capital, which was after the war beginning to flow into Negro business enterprises. Mr. Garvey attributed the failure to the "antagonism of the American Negroes, who would rather have seen the venture fall than to have seen the West Indian Negro succeed." To the same factional spirit, he attributed the failure in December, of the A. L. Hart & Co. Ten-Cent Store in Harlem, N. Y. "Leaders are more to blame than masses for the prejudice existing between the West Indian and the United States Negroes. The American leaders seem afraid of the success of the West Indian leader, and the West Indians prove equally narrow. The West Indian is too often inflated with pride and selfishness, and the American with an exaggerated idea of his own superiority. But gradual improvement, Garyey thought, was being effected." To the youth, he held out his final word: "Work, study, and get all you can of knowledge from this civilization you're living in!" Driving Thrifty Japanese Out of California According to a news item in the New York Times, 30,000 Japanese farmers are preparing to abandon nearly 500,000 acres of California's richest crop land. This is a result of the recent Supreme Court ruling that upholds the Flirton Johnson State legislation prohibiting Japanese from farming land in that State. Rathor than go back to the status of wage earners, these thrifty cons of Nippon, who have made two blades of grass grow where one was accustomed to grow before and have added millions each year to the productive wealth of the commonwealth, decided to pack up and hike. The big sin committed by the Japanese, and that which made them so anxious to white California, was their thrift and progress. They could not be used as beasts of burden and slave to produce wealth for the lonely artisans. They worked hard, but they bought land and worked for themselves. Therefore the bloody day of race prejudice was raised against them and they are legislated out of the State. Maybe the whites, like the Pharaoh of Egypt, will soon be begging them to come back. But who will take the place of the Japanese in California? Some of our big financial concerns dealing in real estate might do a service of value by sending a representative there to see what can be done toward settling some of our farming migrants in this rich country. Already a movement has been started to cut some of these large farms up into large farms for white tenants. Negro bapke, insurance companies and really men should get busy (From the Gold Coast Times) Every race has been endowed by nature with a system of physics which meets it needs. The Chinese, for instance, a very conservative but most thriving race, have been able to keep up their growth, but not necessarily with the aid of European medical science. We, in the Gold Coast, had our own healing art which met our requirements, and the fact that in a former age our people lived to a ripe old age and our womenfolk were very prolific testifies to the efficacy of the old-time healing art. Writing in 1705, Bosman described with wonder the ease, attending child-bearing and the success of the upbringing of children in this country. But all these happy conditions have almost, passed away because, unlike the Chinese, we labored under the disadvantage of the lack of a written language to preserve the virtues in our healing art, with the result that the best of our physicians had died and been buried with their knowledge. That being the position, we are bound to rely on the European system with its accurate diagnosis and efficiency in combating diseases. But to enable the people to take full advantage of European medical science, it is obvious that, they must have a large, number of doctors to attend successfully to the population of some two and a half millions. The existing practice is to put a white doctor in charge of a district which may contain anything from 10,000 to 20,000 people; and to expect the people to have confidence in the ability of one white doctor to care for such a large number with success is to expect too much of human nature. There are other drawbacks to the maintenance of a large staff of white doctors here. To begin with, white doctors are very expensive to keep in this country, and it will bankrupt the country to employ a sufficient number to cope successfully with the work. In view of racial conditions it is also impossible to get white doctors to acquire that intimate and close personal knowledge of the home life of the natives which is a very important factor in the successful treatment of diseases. And, so, whichever way we look at the problem, there is no getting over the fact that the salvation of this country ultimately depends on the employment of a large native African medical staff. It will be necessary in the future to retaliate with the harmful of European doctors to look after Europeans; but if we must get over the high infant mortality, the loss of fecundity in our womenfolk, and the thousand and one tropical ailments which annually carry off thousands of the people, it is impatiently necessary that we should have a medical staff composed largely of natives of the soil, who can live under the same roof with their countrymen, so to speak, and can study at first hand their living conditions, with their very system of dietary, and will thereby be much more fortified in combating the diseases popular to this country. We seriously suggest that the time has come for the local government to consider some arrangements by which likely Africans can be picked up and sent for training, not in the Gold Coast hospital to produce for us a species of men who will be neither fish nor good red herring as medical matter to the British universities and hospitals so that they will return to the country to be employed for the government on such reasonable terms as will enable them to work off the cost of their training by convenient installations. We do not suppose it will cost more than a couple of thousands to pass any African youth through the course and so if it are arranged to send every year three or four Africans to England for training under arrangements suggested above, we should record money spent in this way as of very modest amounts against the welfare of future servicemen. At all events, we must have The National Urban League has announced its annual meeting, for Wednesday afternoon and evening, February 4, at the Rustell Page Foundation Building, 190 East Twenty-second street, New York City. The afternoon meeting, at 3:00 o'clock, will be formal, at which time executive board members for terms expiring 1927, and officers and members of standing committees will be elected. The annual report of work accomplished and of funds received and expended will be presented. At the evening session at 8:15 o'clock the topic for discussion will be the "Negro in Industry," at which time an effort will be made to outline the problems in industry which will be faced by social workers during 1924. Emmett J. Scott, secretary-treasurer of Howard University, and Miss Mary Van Kleeck, director of Industrial studies of the Russell Sage Foundation, will be the principal speakers. Discussion from the floor will follow. L. Hollingaworth Wood, president of the league, will preside, and the public is invited. Rugene Kinckle Jones, executive secretary of the league, said in making public the announcement of the meetings: "The great problem among the colored people during 1924 is that of the who distribution of the Negro migrants on the basis of opportunity for work. It is well for organizations which have an influence in the movement of the Negro population to use that influence wisely, to the end that the migrants may locate where they can get the work best suited to their several abilities and at the same time secure the largest possible income for themselves and families. All of this will tend to improve their economic status; make for better health conditions in their homes and raise the general standard of their family life. "Such conferences as the league holds from time to time are planned with this end in view, as well as to insure helpful leadership to the colored people." W. 135th Y. M. C. A.

A. Atkinson Bathe) While I regard freedom of religion and liberty of speech and sacrifice as the best elements, I cannot help but regard it differently, from the psychological point of view, as far as it extends among the natives of North Africa. It has today resulted in the establishment of innumerable seen the majority of which read the Bible without understanding it, and the misconception of the Bible has led to the misinterpretation, hence to circulating misinterpreted ideas to the bulk of the natives in the pagan world. The disorganization of these roots and the inability of their leaders is one great fault that led to the memorable and unpardonable, but inevitable atrocities of Nab'elanga. They are a demoralizing and deleterious element to the entire Bantu population. I have no idea, as to what extent the September convocation at Johannesburg discussed this subject and that pernicious results of these movements. I urge that prominent leaders of all the recognized churches take immediate steps against this contagious disease. I am of opinion that some of the natives took this privilege of freedom of religion to a destructive instead of a constructive limit. One cannot conceive the possibility of the propagation and dispersal of the gospel to the natives of the pagan world when there are derogatory and intercine elements working against. The French Convention (during the Revolutionary period) decreed that: "The rise of an oppressed nation to democracy is like the effort by which nature rose out of nothingness to existence. We must entirely refashion a people whom we wish to make free—destroy its prejudices, alter its habits, limit its necessities, root up its vices, purify its desires." This principle applies to the natives today in like manner, religiously and politically. Let there be good will, and peace among the Bantu.

ASTA STUDIO, Dec. 8, 302 Hill Ave. New York 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.

The name of kind children little or no power, but the thing that opposes the feeling or emotion within us in the personality behind those names or the thing that same represents. Arose would be just as sweet, would have just as favourable, a fragrance, if you called it by the name of a goat, and a goat would have the name disgraceable odor if you called it by the name of a rose. There was a time in the early progress of humanity when names carried a little meaning, and person a name did not amount to much until the person carrying the name John Smith or whatever it was achieved enough to make the people recognize him by that name; and even then the name represented what the man or the character achieved. The reason why I am speaking of the name Negro tonight is because I noticed that of late some of the Negro papers have started an agitation on the name Negro, and some have declared in big headlines across the front page of their paper that they are giving to the work the information that from 1924, of the Negro is going to be known by some other name, and that they are going to discard this name Negro. Powing before the people as race leaders they go on to say further in their columns that they have received thousands of letters from all over the country commending them on this great achievement for the race. Let us think this name Negro over just a little bit. In the first place, what does the name "Negro" mean? From an etymological standpoint, that is from the point of its derivation, the name Negro comes from the Latin "Niger," meaning black. It is an English name given the black man of Africa by the white man himself. When he landed there he saw that their skins were black, and when you say "he is a Negro," it is the same as saying "he is black," expressing the color of the skin. But this name, after having been attached to the Negro for several hundred years, has taken on a deeper meaning. The name Negro today does not only mean black, but it expresses a condition. When the world today thinks of the Negro it thinks of a group of people in a certain condition. When the world today thinks of a white man it thinks of power; it thinks of independence and of wealth. When it thinks of the brown man it thinks of independence; of power, and of wealth. When the world today thinks of the white man and of the brown man it thinks of a distinct literature, a distinct culture; it thinks of a group of people who have evolved their own civilization; a group of people who have builted for themselves; an independent group of people who are capable of taking care of themselves under any and all situations and circumstances. When the world thinks of the black man it also thinks of a condition; it thinks of a group of scattered, weak, ignorant, unorganized people; thinks of a people whom the world can use to build for their governments. Therefore the name Negro when mentioned now carries with it the personality of a race, whatever that personality is. Just as when we think of a Jew we think of a people who have no country—a people who have been persecuted and run from land to land and we think of a people who have partly offset their persecution by the building up of gigantic business enterprises. When we think of the Indian we think of a red man that once enjoyed this country and looked forward to the day when he would go not to heaven, as we look forward to, but to his happy hunting grounds. Likewise, when the world thinks of a Negro today, it forgets your skin; it thinks only of a condition of a people. To change this name does not change that condition. If the people here of New York City have an impression of Sherrill as a thief and a beggar and a coward, and everybody in New York knows me as that and even the little children when they meet me on the street they can point me out and say "there goes that fellow Sherrill, the thief and beggar," for me to change my name to John Smith does not raise me in the estimation of the people. When they see me they will still look upon me as the same beggar and the same tramp that used to go around New York by the name of Sherrill.

To change the name of the Negro to anything else does not change the estimation the world has of him; does not change the world's conception of black men. Negro Improves one remedy that We can change for the Negro a him cities and the Negro rem organized state A Change of Condition Is Needed If there is any change to come about which will lift the race and be an achievement for the race it must be a change in the condition of the Negro. So there is no need to worry much over the name, because the name is going to be what the Negro makes it. The Universal Negro Improvement Association realizes that when the world starts to look for a Negro, it does not look to the high positions of state in any government; it does not look at the head of the profession; it does not look into the realms of those who lead in science and art and literature. But when the world today looks for the Negro it looks under the feet of men; it looks in the gutter; it looks at the bottom of the ladder. The mere mention of that name suggests just where you will find that person that represents the name. Ask the world today who is the Negro and if will tell you he is an inferior being who is a half-gifted child of God. The Negro, who is he? He is simply a kervent; he is something to drive somebody else's cars; he is something to wait on somebody else's table; he is something that you can use to build other men's governments; he is something that you can use to fight other men's battles; he is something that can be kicked and driven; something that will come and go at everybody's back and call. The Negro? He is simply a weak, ignorant Inferior people. There is only one thing that is going to change that conception, not for the Negro to change his name—for when that name is changed the world will see the same personality with a different name—but to change the condition in which the race ends itself. Black men have for the last few centuries buried their insistent glory in the Valley of the Nile. The Universal Negro Improvement Association uses the name Negro because it expresses or rather it includes that group of people that white civilization has dubbed inferior. When I looked to find out what the Encyclopedia Britannica said a Negro was, I found this very peculiar thing, that in giving the location of the Negro in Africa they said that the real Negro inhabits the central part of Africa, below the Sahara Desert—getting down just as low as they can from Egypt so that by no hook or crook would white boys and girls think of this Negro as connected with the ancient Egypt. Then the Universal Negro Improvement Association says: This same inferior people—this Negro that you say is inferior to the white man, it is this group of people that we are going to raise, not only to the level, but that we are going to raise to heights above this same boasting man that now tramples him under foot. The Remedy—Build up a Negro Gov- ernment There is no use for us to make an attempt to change the name. There is no need for us to be misguided by some who attempt to serve the race, in changing the name. The Universal Mackenzie George Johnson, NEW YORK CITY.

We can change the name by building for the Negro a government; build for him cities and towns, for as long as the Negro remains in his weak, unorganized state the world is going to have a tendency not to respect him; it is going to have a tendency to mistreat him. As long as the Negro remains in this weak, unorganized state living as a parasite upon other governments building nations at behest of other people, the world is going to maintain its impression of him, and the thing that is going to change this impression is when the Negro has proven to the world that he is able to bring forth and evolve the same things that others have brought forth and evolved—when black men have built for themselves a government and a nation strong enough to protect Black men—when black men have built in Africa skyscrapers, have laid their railroads; when they have bridged their rivers and cleaned out their harbors; when black men have the air filled with aeroplanes; the water beneath filled with submarines; the bosom of the sea filled, and the battleships of the Red the Black and the Green flying both above the water, on the water and under the water. When the world realizes that black men can give the world their own culture, their own art; that black men are able to prove by achieving that they are not half gifted children of God, then the impression of the Negro will be changed and it will not be necessary to change the name, for the world then will be bound to give glory and respect to those 400,000,000 desplaced children of God.

A., Unlike All Other Negro Organizations, Faces the Facts and Has Its Program Pivoted on Truth WASHINGTON, Jan. 16—Tonight, in spite of the inclement weather, which lasted the whole day, long and enshrouded Washington in a misty and gloomy atmosphere, the people of Washington, fired by the report of the preceding night's gathering assembled in very respectable numbers at the Florida Avenue Baptist Church, corner of Florida avenue and 6th street, to listen to the second and final addresses delivered by the Hop. Marcus Garvey on his flying trip to the capital city. and co-operate to establish a place in Africa where they could get together and found a government of their own, a rule of their own, and give to their opportunities which were being denied to them in this present generation in this country. In conclusion, he asked them to remember the second object of the meeting, which was to raise funds to erect a Liberty Hall in Washington, a place where they could all gather and discuss the problems which were facing them in this country and the program Satisfied though they were at the previous night's proceedings, their was a genuine and spontaneous enthusiasm as the Hon. President-General and Provisional. President of Africa lucidly and elaborately detailed the whys and whereofs of the forward program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. His was an enthusiastic and enthusiastic the situation of the Negroes in the United States at the present day, and we have heard many remarkable addresses delivered by that remarkable orator. In this last effort of his he certainly reached the limits of eloquence, and such was his forceful presentation of the subject that he led the audience step by step into accord with his views on that program of the redemption of Africa. The meeting was opened at about 8:45 by the Hon. Attorney Joseph Slowart, president of the Washington University, U.S., who accompanied with other prominent members of the division, occupied seats on the rostrum. As customary, the local chaplain recited the opening exercises laid down by the association. The East Washington choir, to whom we have already made pleasing allusions, enlisted the proceedings by other members and other items of those old soulful spirituals which have always been the delight of the race, and have won universal approbation from musicians all the world over. The president, after giving the usual welcome to the audience, and animal-advertising, to the object of the meeting, called upon the Hon. A. P. Prielon, who fought eight congressional committees, never been allowed to occupy his seat in the House of Representatives of the United States. A Congressmen's (7) Views Hon. A. P. Prioleau, addressing the president and members of the organization, and the audience, said among other things, it was a great pleasure for him to have the opportunity of addressing them that night in the presence of the most noble and the greatest Negro of African descent now living in the world. That distinguished gentleman was the leader they were following, because he was seeking to gather the Negro from all parts of the world, the United States, the British Empire and various other countries, from those wildernesses to that cherished promised land, Africa, in the same way that Moses led the children of Israel from their homeland down in Egypt to the promised land. They were there that night to discuss that all-important question which was most vital to every member of the race, and required the earnest consideration of their needs. They were educating their sons and daughters, they had educated themselves, to understand the science of nations, and yet, they were not able, and they had no right to apply that education, because they were here and were denied those opportunities. Consequently, their object that night was to consider a program which would enable every man and woman of the race the world over to find themselves in a better position and that was to help to establish the standfall of an African country where we could have our own government, and exercise the educational ability which we obtain for ourselves, our sons and daughters. That was the mission that their great leader was trying to accomplish. He in the United States one is denied the opportunities that rightly belong to the Negro, and unless we can build some foundation for our children and our children's children, the future will-be very bad for the race. Wrestling with the Constitution The speaker then referred to the fact that he had contested eight elections in his constituency in South Carolina, and had spent over eight thousand dollars in the contests, and, though he had been successful in obtaining election to Congress, up to the present, although he had used every effort available to him under the Constitution, and had the expert insistence of the president, that he had been successful in his efforts to assume his seat. Many efforts had been made to induce him to accept a compromise, but he held out, had fought, and is still fighting. He could have been given several other offices under the government, but he refused, and because of the injustice, because he saw it was hopeless to expect any improvement in conditions, because he felt it was wrong to guarantee him under the Constitution and Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution of the United States, he thought it best, for all parties concerned that they should join together. and co-operate to establish a place in Africa where they could get together and found a government of their own, a rule of their own, and give to their children opportunities which were being denied to them in this present gimmick. In conclusion, he asked them to remember the second object of this meeting, which was to raise funds to erect a Liberty Hall in Washington, a place where they could all gather and discuss the problems which were facing them in this country and the program of the U. N. L. A. (Applause.) The Hon. Joseph Stewart then made, in his usual choice style, a very stirring introduction of the President-General, the Hon. Marcus He. He requested that the attention of the consideration of the subject matter of his President-General's address. MR. GARVEY'S ADDRESS: Hon: Marcus Garvey said: "My subject for tonight is 'Africa and the Negro' and is a continuation of the discourse I gave last night. Before going into the subject matter, I want to refer to something bearing on points I made last night. "Last night I said that minorities have no rights to be respected among majorities," or words to that effect. Today I visited the House of Representatives and spent a few minutes in the gallery. On my entry, a congressman was speaking on some bill and was trying to convince the other congressmen, to convert them to his way of thinking, and among the things he said were those: "We are not going to allow ourselves to be dictated to by minorities. When the majority has expressed itself, there is no resort for the minority but to obey, because the majority must rule," or words to that effect. Now analyze that, and apply our concept to find out where we are. That man had much more in his mind than he spoke in those few words, and that is why we are divided, as the U. N. I. A. from the N. A. A. C. P. and other such organizations. They believe that the white man has Christianity and love and charity encased in his mind. We believe that the white man has Christianity and love and charity encased in his mind, and that there is only one thing that will cause him to respect the rights of others, and that is a similar disposition on the part of those others. Now, if I were seeking arguments or further proofs or my statements last night, I could not find any better than those I heard in the House of Representatives this afternoon. If I could have been further convinced of the correctness of the statement made when I heard what I heard this afternoon, and it is foolhardy on the part of any Negro to contemplate or forging any kind of consideration from the majority group that rules other than that which the majority is disposed to give. The majority is always selfish. The majority has shown absolutely no disposition to change, and, therefore, as a minority there is but one thing left for us to do, and that is to seek out our own salvation, to seek out our own redemption under the circumstances. The Repatriation Program That is why we advocate the African program. We who make up the association could have been an hopeful and other Negroes, because we all live in the same environment. Why should I want to go to Africa? Why should I want to go to Africa, if we can get all the things we want here? It is human nature to follow the line of least resistance. If you can get what you desire in one state you would not leave and go to another. Therefore we have as much right to assert that we are all Negroes in Africa, the other fellow who says he has lost nothing in Africa, because, having been brought up in the same environment, there is no statement one Negro can make that cannot be made by another with equal emphasis, and with as much authority, because at the best and worst all of us have sprung from the same conditions and the same environment. There is no one statement Marcus Garvey can make about Africa that would not affect all Negroes, and no statement made by a Negro about Africa that would not affect Mein Garten. Because, whatever arguments can be made, though we call ourselves Troes, Indians, Cubans, South Americans, we know that, going back to the foundations of truth, we are all Negroes. So there is no statement that any one can make that does not affect the other. You can say, "I have lost nothing in Africa"; Garvey can say the same. He knows that all our parents were in the cotton and cane fields at the same time, and you can't convince him by your talk about being creoles, etc. Why we divide at this point, about having lost nothing in Africa, is because of our good judgment, our good sense, and complete knowledge of our existence. Some say, "We have lost everything"; some have fallen, race pride, and good judgment, and know something of our history. Others say they have lost nothing in Africa because they have nothing of our history, have no race pride, and are just trying to bluff their way through the world, telling lies about being Indiana, Creoles, etc. You cannot get away with that stuff all the time. Unshaken by Criticism Now, we, of the U. N. J. A., after having made a close study of this question—and no man has any right fooling with the destiny of a race without making a proper study of the situation and conditions affecting that race; I believe I would be the greatest criminal in the world to taunt to Negroes about their future and their condition without preparing myself to be able to give good advice. It is all well to be a leader; anybody can be a leader. It is all well to make statements; any fool can do that. I have had some of the biggest fools to criticise me; I have had some of the most learned men to criticise me; but it does not matter to anyone. Any idiot fah say: "That does not make right place." That does not make it so. Such criticism cannot do anything, and that is why I cannot be stirred by criticism, whether it comes from fools or so-called learned men. Nothing disturbs me, not even an earthquake. If an earthquake comes, and I have to go, it does not matter, and therefore, why should I have to worry about it. Nothing disturbs my sleep and I meal. What can man do anything, no bad of me, make me think about it two minutes and spell my meal or disturb my sleep. I have just made up my mind about what is wrong and, right, and when I am convinced of what is right and wrong, not even hell will turn me from my opinion. My opinion is just fixed. If I mean to go through that door, I am just going to walk through it, and I will be standing on the legions of holl are standing there; and even I die in doing so. (Aplaume). Danger of Fooling the People I take this responsibility, which in a tremendous one, of telling people what they should do and trying to change their outlook, because of my convictions. It is dangerous for one to do such a thing, except he is convinced he is right, because to put people out of their way is dangerous; for, if they find out that they have been put out of their way, they will hold on to that man and fix his business, and when the Negro gets more, there is no one who can fix your business like the Negro. (Laughter). So, I would not fool with the Negro if I did not believe in what I say, and I am willing to die for my conviction, and for the program of the U. N. I. A., facing all kinds of opposition from within or from without. It is a serious proposition. But I think I have as much sense and appraisal not things as the average follow; and I do not think I would want to leave New York, since I am there, to go to Africa, unless there was some good reason. It is because some of us think that we are wiser than others that there is no much division among us. There are some of us who have given serious and deep thought to the question of our existence; where should we live? how should we live? and for how long? If I were getting ready just to live for another five years, and anyone else would live for me, I would hunch at him, and tell him: "Brother, go and drown yourself" if I was only thinking of living about twenty-five years, and I was living in the West Indies, no one could induce me to move from there; but it is a proposition of living for all time, and is quite different from five, twenty-five, or fifty years. We of the U. N. I. A. are not thinking about the next five or twenty years in the life of either the American on the West Indian Negro. Though we give much thought to that, we leave it to the N. A. C. P. t fight the question. We realize that in another thirty or forty years there would be nowhere for a color dman to live in peace; there would be nothing around here for colors when to do, and since the Negro has to live longer than twenty or thirty years, and since some of us want to live for all time, we are seeking to fix a place for our race and our children in Africa. Face the issue In the American democracy, as I said last night, the majority will always rule. There is no indication that the Negro will ever, become the majority race in America, except the white folks die night (laughter); and there is no indication of that, or except the Lord comes and take them all to paradise, and give us this world, and He will give us this world. So if the Negro has to live in a practical world, if the Negro has to face the material issues of life, he must face them in an intelligent manner, and in a reasonable way. And that reasonable way is the one we are asking you now to consider. That Congressman about whom I have spoken impressed me just in those few words. I did not want to hear any more of his speech. I did not remain in the House longer than ten minutes. I got all that could be me and make me more determined, about this program, and I believe it is the only solution for the Negro peoples of the world—the redemption of Africa. Now for us to appreciate Africa, we must go back to our relationship to Africa. Some of us are not acquainted with Africa's history, and our relationship to that great continent. Some of us try to forget even the last ten years. "When the Negro will Be Tolerated A white man said to me—one of the greatest white men in this country, who occupies one of the highest positions in the government, am not going to call his work a daya days our work is more advanced. I will call his name in common with others—in answer to a letter of mine. His communication is one out of hundreds that I have received, and I have I would like to thank you for the kindness white men in the world showed to the black question, particularly with the burden, men in public and government in Argentina. He will not be in a frank impression of his attitude on the Negro question, that "He loves the Negro, and he believes the Negro as a human being is entitled to human rights." He was born in surroundings of Negroes; grew up in a Negro district in the black belt of a certain section of the country, and knows all about the Negro and his attitude, and that of other men of his race towards the Negro, and not the Negro will be white men and protected these men in America for another generation or two, if the Negro will conform to these things that are laid out for him to do among them. "He can be a laborer, a farm hand, a bricklayer; mason, carpenter, wheel-wright, blacksmith, or belonging to any kind of unorganized labor; he may be a preacher, a teacher, a doctor, etc., among his own people, so long as he does not put on airs in the community, and aspire to social, and political equality, to work for the doctrines worked humble, he will have accompanied the white man for another generation or two, and will be even protected by the white man, provided he puts on no airs, but if he attemt to put on airs he will have to accept the results of race war and race conflict." That is what the white man said to me. He did not say that the Negro will have a place beside the white man for all time, and will be protected by him for all time. He said, if he is willing to be docile, meek and humble, and engage himself in certain organized labor without putting on airs, he will have a place beside the white man for a generation or two, and then will be protected by the white man. If he puts on airs he will get the contrary. Honesty Better than Hypocrisy Honesty Better than Hypocracy Now, you know what a generation or two generation mean. This honest white man, one of the biggest of the country, whom I regard as highly as a regard Abraham Lincoln, and as I regard Wilberforce, Buxton, Charlton Lovejoy and others, because he honest to me in the place where given the step sufficient information as to enable the Negro to protect and help himself. Such a man is my friend. If I were to publish such a letter today, the Negro press would howl him down, and call him a Negro hater, and say all kinds of things against him, simply because he has told the truth, honestly, about himself, and his people, so as to prepare us and warn us about the danger ahead. That is why I have, to speak about our lack of leadership, because our so-called leaders lack vision, that is why I adopt such an attitude towards the K. K. K. Because that organization is organized to represent the ninety-three million white people in America, and they alone are honest enough to put on hood and robe and ride at night and warn the Negro as to what he should expect. Truth the Only Guide That is why I do not follow the popular sentiments as far as the other Negroes go. I reason out first certain things; and if I believe them to be right, the majority to the contrary. I form and stick to my opinion. That is why I hold the K. K. K in high regard, in the same way as I hold this white man who has written this letter telling me the truth. I appreciate the truth, whether it comes from hell or from heaven. (Applause) It is my only safeguard, my only pride, my protection of truth we must fail, and my respect for the Ku Klux Klan is not because they want to have white supremacy, etc., but because they are honest enough to tell you what they mean by their attitude, and thus enable us to protect ourselves. I have better regard for the man who feels that I am entitled to the whip, and say he is going to whip me at midnight, and tells me so that I can prepare my skin for it, than the man who means to whip me and tells me that I am good, and at 12 o'clock, when I fall asleep, he comes there with a cowhide and lays it on me. I prefer the fellow who warns me that I will be whipped, so that I can prepare for the whipping. Getting whipped jim-awares is twice as hot, the very heat and excitement of expecting a whipping will case the whipping somehow. I will keep to keep to down; "Nurgu, you should not cheer you shall never get to be anything alongside of me." That places me in a position where I could move for myself and help myself, so I think such people should be better respected than the hypocritical ones who tell me that they mean so much good by me, and who really mean nothing. Prosperity Will Vanish We have made a keen and careful study of this Negro problem, and we know for ten or twenty-five years it will be all right. Some of us will find jobs. You may not have the same jobs you have now. You may become rich in the next half century or so, but we are going to have changed conditions in that time in America. The white man is laying the foundations for such a change. He is not such a fool and he is not such a fool and again we get such honest expressions as I refer to. To be necessary, therefore, that some emancipator or leader should rise and call attention to the danger, because, such a letter as I have quoted, should help to prepare a race, if that race has any vision or any leadership. That is where we differ from any other Negro organizations in America, who believe in continued prosperity among Negroes. We of the U.N. believe that this prosperity will not happen and that the moneta we have in the banks, our beautiful homes, our broad acres of land, our industries, will not mean anything by way of permanence or permanent prosperity for the Negro. You have nothing by way of prosperity that you can protect. We will never be in a position to protect that which we have in America, so long as Heaven on Earth The N. A. A. C. P. believe they would be able to convert the white people to goodness, and when they become good they will dispense, the law irrespective of race and color, and they will harmonize with the black people, irrespective of conditions. That is a good idea, but we differ from them because we believe such a state and condition will only prevail in heaven, and not here on this earth. (Applause.) We can also be possible on earth; we believe it can only be made possible in heaven. So we differ. They believe that the next fifty years will find the Negro in America prosperous. We believe that the next fifty years or a hundred years will find America overcrowded with white people, who will become so economically poor that there will not be enough room for two competitive races to prosper side by side. We believe that when the reaction comes as it comes to all nations, there being nation in the world that has ever existed, the nation that has ever permanently the Negro to the sufferer. You know your histories; you have read that Curtage, Babylon Assyria, Egypt, Ethiopia, Rome, Egypt, the French Empire, and the there is no permanent existence, and that there is no permanent prosperity for any people or nation. America is prospering now, and everybody has work. There are millions of unemployed in everybody now, where a few years ago, everybody was employed. It is because of this unemployment that Socialism has gone and there were tories and whigs ruling the centuries, today there has been brought about such changed conditions of the working men, who cannot get work, that their ideas have been revolutionized; they have become, prejudiced against the capitalistic class, and, due to the stagnant state of industry and labor there, the old conservative English labories, who respected their government as they respected their aristocracy and their nobility, have now taken the government in their hands. They have said, "You cannot govern us any more; we will take the government, and we will rule." That is because we have a universal of economic conditions in Ethiopia, a general of industrial conditions. If the lords were able to maintain the inflated state of British labor, finding work and plenty, there would be no desire on the part of the English workman to take over the government. In the same way that conditions have changed in Great Britain in the last few years, the labor conditions in America will change. They will affect the Americas white workman, and when that time comes, when the white American goes to the breadline, as he will, there will be a hellish state of exentement. Whatever the mob can bring hands upon and but they will take the blame who are prosperous will find that our be worth anything in the face of a hungry white mob. The prophecy of the white man would be increased and accentuated, and whatsoever prosperity we have we would be deprived of, just as that dentist in Georgia was deprived of his prosperity and told that he must get out of the town within twelve hours, with the result that he can leave his family, his home and his property. That would be the condition of the N. A. when the war comes over in American prosperity. These are the dangers ahead that we must contemplate, and these are the things which cause us to differ from the N. A. A. C. P. That is why we look to Africa; why we do not look to just where we are. We see these things, and we have decided by our own efforts and energy to establish ourselves in Africa by working now, so that when the industrial reaction in America comes, we will not be so much face to face with that certain danger, and will be in a better position to protect ourselves. The mob may drive us out, it is true, but there would be some satisfaction for what there is no, no satisfaction for any Negro who is driven for any number of Negroes who are driven out of a community, because their only resort is to appeal from Caesar to Caesar. They have to appeal from the mob that drive them out to it, same mob that judges their case. That accounts for the U. N. I. A program in seeking to build a state in Africa, in seeking to have a national government to protect our people. That is why the U. N. I. A is fighting for government and for nationhood, believing that it is the only solution of the problem. If it were for today, if it were for tomorrow, or for the immediate future, then we would have no program differing from the N. A. A. C. P. But it is for the days beyond, the times far ahead, that call the Negro into action. Selfishness may dictate that you are not going to live for another, thirty years, and who should you worry; or fifty years, why worry? But that has been our course. The average Negro of the past, and even of the present, sees no further than today in his racial existence. The father cares nothing about the future existence of the son, and, therefore, he makes absolutely no provision for any time beyond that which he himself is going to spend here, and that is why Averting the Curse Personally, I have no cause to fight like this, talking my soul out to Negroes, good, bad and indifferent. I can act like anyone else, sit down and attend to my business, and let every Negro die by himself. I want to look to the future, I realize that God Almighty is expecting something of this race, and I want to be able to do something for... this race. I want to be able to say, Lord, I was willing, but the other did not want to follow me." I was afraid, but the other was ready, but the other was afraid. Whatsoever curse is reserved for nations and races, that curse, it is to be pronounced upon the Negro, would reach me and affect me in the heavens. And it is because I do not want to be damned on earth, in common with the rest of our laity race, that I am here fighting, so that I could say, "God, you know I did my best." I am determined to do my best, and it will not be my fault if Africa is not redeemed, because I have talked about it long enough, I have written about it long enough, that every Negro in the world should hear about it and see about it. I will not be guilty my existence before my God, because I want to go to heaven, like the white or yellow man, and I do not want to make any excuses to Peter, but to say to him, "I did my Job, and I want you to led me through." So I am going to do my job. My job, I believe, is to help Ethiopia to stretch forth her hands, to help princes to come out of Egypt. Now, you know that one man cannot be princes, and one man cannot be Ethiopia, but one man can be part of the whole, so brothers, I am going to do my part. I want to go to heaven, because I believe there is one; I believe there is more than one. There is one here, and I believe there is another. You learn the way to the heaven here learn to enjoy the comforts and pleasures here in order that you can better enjoy the comforts and pleasures of the other one. If you have not got good practice down here you will not be able to enjoy the other one. Misunderstanding God Do not believe that Almighty God created us for loading and picking cotton and running around American cities saying "Yes boss, yes boss". Don't believe that, God Almighty never made the mistake of creating so many people for mental jobs, because there can be no pleasure in that; there is no pleasure in having people unhappy and miserable. Do you think I would feel happy to bring a child in this world just to be miserable? No! I would not bring such a child. So God could not have brought us into this world with the intention of making us miserable, otherwise. He would be a peculiar God. God intended us for all of us, and has released us with all facilities enabling us to rise to a higher plane in His creation. God has given us a latitude to do anything he wants, and if you do not rise it is not God, God. That is why the U. N. I. A is teaching to the four hundred million Neighbors of the world that they can rise as high as their ambitions. (Applause!) And my ambition butte me toward an empire. My ambition lead me toward a national empire, and national glory captainse. I am not going to compromise it. I am not going to pull away, and I am not going to be good for other men and other races they are also good for mine. (Applause!) The glory of God is man, the glory of man is God, God is man, and man is God. There is no God but man, Think it over, there is no God but ourselves. The God that we talk about and worship is the embodiment of all humanity created by himself. All of us constitute to make God. All of us are a part of God. All of us are the highest in God's creation, individually and collectively. I see God through my eyes, and no other God; God looks like me; God looks like you, for God himself said, "I shall create man in My own image and likeness." How can God he other than you. Every man is a pattern of God every man is God, and all of God's creatures go to make God. As great as the one who dishonors the God that is in you, and when you bow down to the god of another species, you dishonor the God that is in you, and when you bow down to the god of color you abuse the God of your existence and commit a sin against the Holy Ghost. There is no other God but you. Therefore, the U.N. L.A. deserves every Negro to destroy the image of the white God that you have been taught to how to. Perfection Within The U. N. L. A. desires to teach that all perfection is in you and beyond you there is no perfection. So that if no could only get consciousness of race, if we could only realize that God Almighty created us for a purpose in this world, and that that purpose is self-respect and self-preservation, through Him; if we could get Negroes to think that way, in 24 hours the Negro problem would be solved; and, so, men and women of Washington, I bring you a message of a new education, the new education that I spoke to you about last night. Before you and I can get anywhere we have to destroy the old psychology. That is my job. Before you can build, you have to destroy; before I can put dp a beautiful cathedral here, this old we are not alone in this world and behold us here. They one can be alone in this world glory, we have to be and buildings of white blinding plains. There is my joy, I am mean to destroy the other world situation, as he and their occupants of my also and our teaching is that which must exist must call my them. We must not be alone in a structure of our own. Who we not seek to destroy the architecture the others, we only want to out of our way as an occupant the race, and to let the race build themselves on. Scheming in Golf We have so much regard and respect for the white man's ideals as for our own, but he is not going to bring his ideals in conflict with ours, and we will not put our ideals in conflict with him. The white man has a proper and thorough understanding of life and its meaning, and it is that which has made everything in the world to be seen through his eyes. I have not seen the white man who does not believe that all perfection is exemplified in him. I do not care if he is half dead or drunk. I have not them all even Europe and Asia, but I have not them all white man or anyone is half-dead who did not believe supremely in himself and his race, against all comers. I have seen them drunk in the gutter who still believe that they were better than I. a decen. self-respecting citizen going about my daily work. If is that race consciousness you cannot deprive him of, and it is found in every other race except in this unfortunate race of ours, unfortunate because God made us the same as he made the others. It is that system and that old conditioning, we see, andoving to change and revolutionism, until we can make the race get rid of this old education, and supplant it with the new. In six years we have raised the organization from thirteen members to six millions in the U. S. A. It is not my own work, as you realize. It is the wonder of the twentieth century that we could have brought together six million Negroes to see and think the same way on that one question. This is responsible for my presence here tonight. So that I am glad, and I am satisfied that my work is so brifulful of results. If my work is so brifulful of results, I have here tonight, but in jail. But the fact that there are six million organized Negroes outside of tall when I was in jail brought me out of the jail (anplause). Africa Will Rise Again I am working for the time when not only six millions will be out of jail, but the four hundred million Negroes of the world will be out of jail, raising to the sky the standard of empire and the emblem of liberty for a race that has been deplored for hundreds and thousands of year (applause)!'' I am firm in my belief and conviction that Africa will be restored to her imperial glory. If I did not believe that I would die now. I would drink the sacred hemlock now. Why should I live. I would have nothing to live for, except to pull an elevator, and my hands are too soft for that; they would be bruised. Live for what? Raise a pick, and wield a shovel. My muscles are too soft, and my arms will palm me. Live for what? Carry the heat and burden of the day upon my shoulders; they are dislocated and cannot carry much weight; they are much to live for, much to hope for. I see before me now a picture of Africa's redemption. I see Marcus Garvey matching to the Senate Homes as a senator or congressman to hear the first President of Africa deliver his proclamation. To see not only Marcus Garvey of the present, but those of the next generation taking their seats in the Parliament of Africa alongside of five or six hundred senators and congressmen (applause), to make haws for the four hundred million citizens of the greatest empire in world, before me stands and, after me, satisfies in his hands and in its outlook, that I feel that I am called for duty, that I am called to go on and fight for the program of the U. N. I. A., for the ideals of which I feel willing to give up all, to give up life itself. Collective Accomplishments Count. Must let us think the matter over soberly and, quietly, whether we be educated men or ordinary laborers, workers and tollers. The position of the professional Negro, the position of the educated Negro, is not going to be different to that, of the poor strug- gling laborers. We are judged not by the race, but by the collective accomplishments. If it were for the individual achievements of the race, we would have a far better case. If we are to take the sons of America, of the West Indies and of the Western World, you would find among them enough professional men and business men of the race, that we could compare with the representatives of other races, and say "these are our representatives." But I go back again to say and emphasize that modern democracy and civilization governments and carry out our jobs, etc., there will of the majority. Whatsoever the majority decides, that is the standard by which you are judged. That is why I fight on, without compromise, for the common people of the Negro race, the people from whom I have spring; because I know there can be no appreciation for the race beyond these standards reached by the majority of the race. If the people of the Negro race are uneducated, and unrefined, that will be the judgment pased upon the race the few exceptions notwithstanding. So it is to the interest of the professional man, to the interest of the lawyer, doctor, preacher and others to help me to lift the Negro, because they will not be raised until the lowest of them is elevated to a common stand, ard of humanity. Guide the ignorant. The N. A. A. C. P. says that ignorant people follow Garvey, and the (Continued on page 8) THE NEWS AND VIEWS OF U.N.I.A.

CINCINNATI, OHIO Children's Day Sunday, January 13, 1924, being Children's Day in the Cincinnati Division of the U. N. I. A., a new processional order was given to the division by the executive secretary for the meeting. The title of march was as follows: At the head, the Stars and Stripes, along with the Red, Black and Green, followed, by the Legions, Motor Corps, Black Cross Nurses and Juveniles. The choir passing through while singing "Shine. On. Eternal Light," followed by the executive officers and officers of the Legion to the Rostrum, the units returning to parade grounds. The meeting was opened with the singing of the regular ode, followed by prayer by the chaplain. President Ware, after a few remarks, stated that, the day being Children's Day, the juveniles would render the program. There was a very large attendance. The program was as follows: Song, opening song, "O, Why Not Tonight"; song, Horace Do Mooney; recitation, Aaron Porter; recitation, Louis Cook; recital, song, Hattie and Sarah Spear; recitation, William Mooney; recitation, Vindella Finny; duet, Louis E. Thompson; recitation, Louise Jarrett; Leonard Mayberry Eleanor Dicke; Bertle Jefferson; Hatti Steward; Bertha Long Miller; recitation and duet, Bryan Bothers; recitation and song, Albert and Louis Gods; recitation, Sam Louis; song, Juvenile Choir; song, choir. The mother of the Juveniles, Mrs Calhoun, takes much interest in the children, and credit must be given her for the pain she has taken in rendering such a wonderful program. We call her every success. MRS. HAMILTON. PRICHARD, ALABAMA To Principal division of the U. N. A. I. and I. Sunday at 3 o'clock, January 15 at the H. B. A. Hall and Colleen Grove. Mr. Charles Harrison who master of ceremonies. This was one of the greatest times meetings ever witnessed in the county of Mobile. There was not even standing room in the building. Visitors from many of the Northern States, Magazine Point, Chickasaw and nearby towns packed the hall. The program was as follows: Song by the choir; universal prayer; Scripture reading by the philippus, the Rev. Selkirk; opening remarks and welcome address by the president, Mr. J. D. Monday; song, "Principle of the Movement"; introduction of the prominent citizens of Mobile; address by Mr. J. J. Thomas; field agent; this address was in a same and logical exposition of the principles of Garveyism and was well received by the audience; talk by Mr. Marks, introduction of visitors, chief among whom was the Rev. D. D. Oatman; singing of the Ethiopian anthem. The Rev. Oatman has caught the inspiration of the U. N. L. A. and has opened wide the doors of his church to the association. We are rapidly moving on and as time passes we are sure we shall have very encouraging news to send to the Parent Body. GUANTANAMO, CJBA We are pleased to report that Guantanamo division is making rapid progress, and that the members are more determined than ever to continue in the fight of African redemption. On Christmas morning, at an early hour, the members and friends assembled to take part in the special service which had been well advertised. The service was solemn and impressive and all the well known Christmas hymns and carols were sung by the congregation. The acting chaplain proclaimed a wonderful surgeon. IMPORTANT NOTICE SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1924 WILL BE Petition Day ALL OVER THE UNITED STATES When Every Division, Branch and Chapter of The Universal Negro Improvement Association Will Hold a Mass Meeting for the SIGNING OF PETITION to the Government of the United States and the Other Governments of the World to Create in Africa a NATION AND GOVERNMENT FOR THE RACE ARRANGE YOUR MEETING NOW on the birth of the child Christ, which made a deep impression on the audience. At the close of the service the president made a few remarks and expressed the hope that the next Christmas would find them in the land of their forefathers. The Ethiopian anthem was sung and the members disbanded with the pronouncing of the Doxology. On New Year's Eve the hall was once more packed to its most capacity. The first part of the evening the usual mass meeting took place, when several addresses were delivered. Stirring and solemn appeals were made to the members for more support, more unity, and a firmer determination to shoulder the responsibilities for 1924. The meeting lasted until 10.30, when the president announced that the religious part of the meeting would begin. Suitable hymns were sung, followed by a most eloquent sermon by the chaplain. There was not a dry eye in the building at the close of this wonderful sermon. He said, in part, As exiles in foreign climes, let us ask God now as the old year is passing and the birth of a new one is about to take place to give us courage and full determination to follow our African program until success crowns our efforts and we are firmly established in our motherland. A few minutes after, 12 the meeting was brought to a close with the singing of the Ethiopian anthem. EGG HARBOR, NEW JERSEY The Egg Harbor division held several interesting meetings which were well attended by the members and friends of the local. On December 30 a large and enthusiastic gathering assembled to take part in the meeting. The meeting was opened in the usual way, after which the Rev W. A. Allen preached a wonderful sermon, which went straight to the hearts of his hearers. A splendid literary program was prepared and rendered. Several songs, recitations and addresses made up the program and all who took part acquitted themselves well. The Christmas tree, December 25, was a huge success, and special mention must be made of Mrs. Marle Crawford, who was in charge of the evening's entertainment. The attraction of the evening was a manger showing the birth of Christ. January 1 was fittingly celebrated with suitable addresses. The Rev. Allen is an ardent supporter of the cause of Africa and is doing his best to build up the local. BURLINGTON, NEW JERSEY Under the able management, of Mr. Robert Roberts, our beloved president, the Burlington division is making rapid progress in the fight for African redemption. With the help of the white local press and the good will of the mayor of the city we have been able to accomplish great things. We have more black enemies around us than white ones. Since the last visit of the Hon. Marcus Garvey the members have shown much enthusiasm in the cause Afric. A big meeting, which was well attended by the members and friends of the local was held on Sunday. The principal speaker was Mr. P. Thompson of Philadelphia. The meeting was held for three hours and was closed with prayer. CIEGO DE AVILA, CUBA On Friday the children of the Clope de Avila division school gave a very interesting entertainment, which was well-attended. Mr. J. C. Smith is to be congratulated on the wonderful progress which the children have made under his tuition. The concert was opened with the singing of the opening ode, "From Greenland's Ice Mountains" after the executive secretary book the chord. The program was THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1964 MIAMI, FLORIDA In spite of the bad weather the Miami division had a pleasant Sunday evening, when the members and friends of the division turned out in large numbers to take part in the program. The program was as follows: Opening ode; address by the chairman, Mr. Chus, W. H. Ingraham; song by the choir, entitled "Shine On, Eternal Light"; solo, Miss Mabel Dorcett; quartet, Mr. Prince, Mr. Gibbons and others; address by the ex-president, Rev. J. A.

GUIANA The first Harvest Festival of the Goetgentown Division took place on Sunday, December 2, at 3 p.m. Owling to the inclement weather, it was not as well attended as was expected. The hall was tastefully decorated with ferns, flowers and our colors, the red, Black and Green, and with several motifs. A great variety of grains, fruits, vegetation, cakes, etc., which were given by members, visitors and friends, made a very attractive show. A varied program was rendered by the members, as follows: Opening ode by congregation; prayer by the chairman; chairman's address by the president, C. W. Thomas; chorus by congregation, "We Plough the Field," etc.; solo. Mrs. James; recitation, Mrs. Robertson; anthem, Mrs. Eadle; solo, Mrs. Abrams; solo, Mrs. Hazlewood; recitation, Mr. Barron; chorus, by congregation, "Oh, Where Ara the Reapers', etc.; solo, Mrs. Williams. The meeting was adjourned until 8:30 p. m., when another lengthy program consisting of songs, receptions and addresses was rendered. We had the pleasure of a visit from Mr. Cashie of the Trinidad division, who delivered a same, lateral and inspiring address which went straight to the hearts of the people. Our treasurer, Mr. J. Green, also gave an interesting talk which was well received. After the reading of a few announcements and notices the meeting was brought to a close. Any division of the U.N. L.A. not now receiving the Negro World regularly every week is asked to communicate immediately with The Circulation Dept. Negro World, 56 West 135th St. New York City MR. GARVEY ON AFRICA (Continued from page 7) program of the U. N. I. A. I am glad of that. That is our work. If we could improve on the ignorance of the people, we will serve God, serve humanity, and serve this people of ours (applause). The N. A. A. C. P. and Dubols may that Garvey is at the head of ignorant people; and say that they are ignorant and illiterate. But Dr. Dubols, with all his college attalments and university honors, is the first man who has caused people to lose respect for some of our universities. He did not know he was paying me a signal compliment, when he said that I was the head of an ignorant bunch of people; that all the people of the U. N. L. A. were ignorant and unlettered. He has been trying for fourteen years to organize the intelligence of the Negroes of America, and has not yet succeeded. At best, we understand that the N. A. A. C. P. has 100,000 members, and I do not believe that. We, on the other hand, in five years have organized 6,000,000 people. Good Lord! Have you ever seen ignorance organized yet? If you cannot organize intelligence, how can you expect to organize ignorance? And if I have organized all the mass of ignorance, Dubois ought to realize that he has paid me a wonderful compliment. "Search Your Conscience" Going back to the subject matter, we find ourselves facing the future in America without hope. Emphasizing that I am not speaking of the next five or ten years, or of the next generation or two, that there is no hope in America and the western world, must we die? The answer is, NO. We shall not die, we must not die, we will not die. Then, if we must not die, we must find an opportunity and an outlet, and the only opportunity and outlet is Africa, the land from whence we came 300 years ago. And after all, though we state we have lost nothing in Africa, we really do not mean that. Scratch your consciences below the surface, and you are bound to come to the conclusion that you do not mean it. How can you mean it? When one drop of this rich African blood can change all of God's creation, the blood that is richer than milk or cream, than any mixture or compound that you can produce, when only one drop changes God's nature. And let me tell you, Africa and our race are not without hope; some of us depliance ourselves because of the nearness of our time to the last fifty or sixty years. Some of us can still hear the taskmaster's whip on the farms. Some of us can still feel the lash on the plantations. Some of us can still see the picture of abuse, the advantage leveled upon our young women by the slave master's class. And, because we live so near to that age, some of us wish to obliterate from our minds all hope of self-respect, of self-reliance and initiative. But, although some of us can hear the taskmaster's whip, and can see the picture of abuse and advantage on our young women, we put a different interpretation upon it. It is not an interpretation of despair and lack of hope, but of self-consciousness, self-conviction, self-pride, and inspiration, and have decided to strike forth, go forward, and prevent its repetition.

S. A. No improvement since Emancipation If we got not hurry there is going to be a repetition. Game Negroes feel good and big, because they can get out of their bathhut, put on a new suit, light a cigar, and use perfume; but, brother, brother, you are not bigger than the slave of sixty years ago, who was sold on the block in Virginia, because you have not changed your condition one bit from that of the slave. The same power that sold the slave, that same power that freed you, can return you to that same condition of the slave that you were sixty years ago in Virginia. For we have made no improvement since the time of emancipation. There is no guarantee of one's liberty, of one's freedom, but the ability of that individual to protect his liberty and freedom. There is no guarantee of the freedom of the race, because we have no power to protect it. We are still marking this. Since Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation we have not made an improvement towards permanent freedom, and nothing is permanent for an individual or race except that permanency can be guaranteed by the race or individual. What can we guarantee permanently? Nothing but pickling cotton and doing mental work, which are the things already laid down by the other man for the Negro, and as was manifested in the expression of the great white man who wrote me that letter already referred to. So long as the Negro is satisfied to be meek, docile, humble, his place will be fixed for another generation or two, and he will even be protected by the white man, even as he was protected during slavery for two hundred and fifty years for the purpose of doing the work they needed. There were white men in the slave days who would kill another white man for his slave, because those slaves were wanted to do their work. But when the Negro put on alas, the position is reversed. Reaching the Masses Now, I have spoken as plainly as I possibly can. I have cut out all that is superfluous, all the hightop things we read in books and colleges, because all of us are not from the university and college, and, if we want to help the race, we have to go to the man lowest down and lift him right up. I have tried in my addresses to go as far down in reason, in logic, so that everyone who hears me could understand, and I trust that every one of you now understands the program of the U. N. I. A. It is the drawing into one united whole of the four hundred million Nekroes of the world for their industrial, social, economic, educational, religious and political improvement, and, above all, through their organized power, to found and establish in Africa a nation and a government, of our own. (Applause.) This is the summary of all that I have said for the two nights that I have spoken in Washington. Understand that therefore that is why we differ from other organizations. We are not endeavoring to build up churches anymore, I think we have enough; I think God will give us credit for building churches. We are thinking of other things. What we want now is a strong industrial foundation, and on top of it a great political structure. Lay a Foundation of Industry Get money, get property, get wealth, and get it as quickly as you can; get it honestly, but get it anyhow; get it. Get it, and after you have gotten these things, get political power, and that you can only have by having and founding a nation of your own. Poli- the is the science of government that protects these human rights that we are not protected by law. Our rights here are not protected by law, our rights in the British Empire are not protected by law, but by prejudice. Therefore we, need politics to protect our rights, but before we emphasise politics to its fullest extent we must lay a foundation of industry, because no man who has not his meals can talk politics for long. We cannot eat today and not eat tomorrow, and talk politics next day, because politics reaches out and embodies everything. The politics means a conflict of political ideals; politics means the conflict of races, and peoples, and nations. If your politics reaches out to the conflict, and you are not properly fed, you will lose out in that conflict. Therefore, let industry be your foundation; have your potatoes ready; have your pork chops ready; have your steak ready, so that, if possibly, you have to march and go on long tramps, you can continue until you have planted your standards on the ramparts and placed your banners in the hostile camp. So, you understand without any mistake, the program of the U. N. I. A. We stand for a higher ideal in government, in twentieth-century civilization; a civilization of our own, a culture of our own—and that is the impression I wish to leave with you tonight in this capital city of the United States of American. I thank you. The Petition to the World At the conclusion of his address the Hon. Marcus Garvey again reminded the audience of the petition that has been prepared to be sent to the President of the United States of America, and which is 'similar to that being sent to the governments of France and England. He requested their signatures, and made an earnest appeal to them to support the progressive work of the U. N. I. A. as exemplified by the recent sending of a committee to Liberia and an ambassador to France and England. The singing of the National Anthem of Africa brought an enthusiastic meeting to a regretful close. After the meeting Hon. Marcus Garvey received the personal commendation of the audience, among whom were several of the leading men and women of Washington.

La Delegación Portorriqueña En Washington La delegación portorriquena compuesta por representantes de los tres partidos políticos, entregó al presidente Coolidge en la Casa Blanca el memorial que por resolución conjunta de la legislatura de San Juan ha traído a los Estados Unidos, bajo la presidencia, exoficio, del gobernador de la isla, Mr. Towner. Acompañados a la residencia del ejecutivo por el secretario de guerra, Mr. Weeks, y el gobernador, los comissionados portorriquenos fueron sucesivamente presentados a Mr. Coolidge que les esperaba en una de las salas de la Casa Blanca. Los Antiguos Directores de la Raza, Como Las Viejas Tradiciones, Deben Dejar Paso a la Juventud Progresista Del Presente—Cumulo de Hipocresias, de Fraudes, de Decepciones y de Intrigas—La Clase de Elemento Que Traicionó al Salvador, Traiciona a Nuestra Organización—Las Masas Predominarán Destronando la Avaricia y el Despotismo Más de media hora duró en total la entrevista y en ella el presidente de la mission puso en manos del presidente el memorial, que reproducimos aparte, pronunciando breves palabras ilustrativas del objetivo general de la visita a Washington de los miembros de la legislatura de Puerto Rico. Aunque Mr. Coolidge no pudo conceder al memorial un estudio cuidado, se informó después de la entrevista que se habia expresado en términos sumamente cordiales, asegurando su amistoso interés en el bienestar by progreso de la isla. Al entrar de lleno en las actividades de un nuevo año, nuestra imaginación retiene aún los innumerables contratiempos, decepciones y entorpecimientos de que hemos sido objeto en el pasado. El conocimiento de tales causas debiera ponernos en mejor condición para dirijir nuestra barca a puerto seguro, a través de las tormentas del presente año. Si hubieramos de determinar la acción que como pueblo debieramos seguir durante el transcurso del presente año, con el objeto de asegurar nuestro éxito en el desarrollo de mayores ventajas, enfaticamente aconsejariamos el descarte de los antiguos directores de la raza, colocando en su lugar aquel elemento contemporáneo que ha adquirido sus lecciones de decepción en la árdua escuela de la experiencia. El presidente Coolidge, después de expresar el placer al recibir a los comisionados, declaró: Habíe hablado del deseo de saber equal será vuestro status en el porvenir. En ello tenéis una curiodisad común a todos nosotros y la respuesta naturalmente es también común. Vuestra guerte en el porvenir dependera de vuestra actitud en el presente. Nuestro país no busca beneficios a costa de Puerto Rico, sino que está en relaciones con el simplemente como garantizador del bienestar del pueblo de la isla. Naturalmente nosotros deseamos que la habiten quienes sean nuestros amigos y estar protegidos contra la posibilidad de que jamás caiga en manos de los que pudieran no tener amigos de los Estados Unidos o amenzar nuestros posiciones en Panamá. Nuestro unico deseo es proceder en forma que ayude al pueblo de Puerto Rico y ayudarle a desarrollar una estable forma de gobierno. Los directores decanos de nuestra raza han sido inyectados con el malsano virus de la hipocrecia, del fraude, de la decepción y de la intriga; en su mente no existe otro pensar que el beneficio propio en particular. Ellos se colocan en el lado opuesto aombres y movimientos por el mero hecho de protejer sus intereses, en contraposición del beneficio que tales hombre y que tales medidas puedan reportar a las masas en general. El infortunio en lo que a nuestra dirección respecta, estriba en que ésta es regularmente impuesta y nuestro pueblo no parece aún darse cuenta de la diferencia existente entre esta clase de dirección y la dirección electiva. El avaro naturalmente ha de procurarse siempre la mejor posición, cuando ésta debe ser solamente ocupada por los más abiles y a elección del criterio de las masas. En tales circunstancias debemos educarnos, y así preparados demostrar a dicha dirección impuesta que su reinado ha llegado a su término. Después de afirmar que es habitual del ejecutivo y la legislatura no conqueren en todo, agrego: Mi recomendación es que cooperié reciprocamente y trateí de armonizar vuestras dificultades, si se presentan, y laboré todos juntos por el beneficio común. Vuestra isla es prospera, esta progresando considerablemente, está aprendiendo el arte del gobierno propio y educándose más y más. Mejoran vuestras condiciones de vida y el ambiente entero de vuestra isla es de satisfacción. La única forma de prepararse para algo mejor en el manana es cumplir bien nuestros deberes presentes. En vuestros de fuerzos en tal direction, os deseo todo el éxito y fortuna posibles. Detengámonos por un momento para estudiar la dirección de nuestra raza, v hemos de notar que cualquier individuo que escriba una carta a un periódico, haga una manifestación con el objeto de ser publicada o acquiera una posición por medio de la influencia de un blanco, se considera innervadamente como un gran director, y aventajando e de cierto grado de ignorancia de parte de nuestro pucible, es aceptado incuestionablemente como tal. lista clase no de dirección sino de imposición es la que realmente a cautela la destrucción de la raza, por el hecho de no poder un programa definitivo; como los avaros de todas las edades, se someten al programa de conveniencia, creando la piedra en el camino de cualquier movimiento progresista. Al salir de la mansión del ejecutivo, varios miembros de la conisión, portorriqueña, mostrabane complacidos de la cortesia y benevolencia con que el presidente habiales acogido y por la indicación que habia hecho de que se concederia plena atención a sus intereses. El memorial firmado por los cinco senadores y cinco representantes de la conisión, será también presentado al congreso. Adenais del gobierno Towner, el comisionado residente en Washington, doctor Felix Cordova Dávila, y el doctor Frank A. Martinez, secretario de la delegación, acompañaron a ésta en las visitas de esta mañana. Fue es a la misma clase de dirección que en aquella época y en aquilla comunidad se opuso tenazmente a Cristo y asu reión. Los tal llamados doctores y sabios combatieron su filosofía y le calificaron de idiota y de intolerable; ellos no pudieron ver la bondad ni la promisión de la doctrina que predicía, sinembargo, después del transcurso de casi dos mil años, notamos que la misma clase de elemento se ha convertido en patrocinadores y predicadores del cristianismo. Nuestros colegios, nuestras universidades, nuestros seminarios, nuestras diecies y nuestras iglesias estan llenas de doctores en divinidad, de doctores en leyes, de doctores en teología, quienes se esfuerzan por supremacia en las enseñanzas de la doctrina de Cristo. Esta clase de elemento, y con el mismo sentimiento, declaró que Cristo era simplemente un tonto, en los días cuando indicaba a las masas el camino de salvación, y le condenó, indicando que sus prédicas eran solamente escuchadas por el pueblo ignorante y aplaudido y seguido a todas partes por los analfabetas. Primeramente dirigieronse a la oficina del secretario de guerra, Mr. Weeks, donde se entrevistaron también con el mayor general Frank McIntyre, jefe del negociado de asuntos insulares y después de una breve conferencia dirigieronse, a la Casa Blanca. En general, y a pesar de la reserva oficial, la impresión producida en miembros de la administración y en los de la comisión portorriquena es excelente. Reina optimismo sobre la suerte de las gestiones de estos. Si hubieramos de hacer juicio critico sobre la inteligencia de aquel pueblo que existió en la época del Salvador, dariamos gran crédito y sobrada razón a aquella multitud que con gran atención y mayor reverencia escuchó las prédicas de su filosofía divina. La masa común, el tal llamado pueblo analfabeta que pudo interpretar el sermón en el Monte de Sinai y su profundidad filosofica, demostró mas sentido común y mayor inteligencia que aquellos sabios y aquellos doctores que le repudiaban. A la luz de la verdad, la filosofía de Cristo ha sido aceptada por el mundo intelectual como la fuerza ética y moral mas prepotente en el reajuste de la sociedad humana. Conmemorando el Natalicio de un Patriota El entusiasmo que estan desplegando los miembros que foyan el directorio del comité Pro Cuba, hace pensar que las festividades proyectadas con motiyo del primer abversario del comité Pro Cuba y del septuagésimo primerio del natalicio del apostol de las libertades cubanas. José Marti, han de culinar en un éxito brillante y rotundo. Hubieron de transcurrir centenares de años para que los intelectuales se dieran cuenta de ello; la masa común se dio cuenta en breves momentos; y como una repetición de la historia, esa misma clase de elemento se opone aún a otros movimientos reformistas, los cuales tienden a mejorar la condición del pueblo que sufre. No seria necesario enumerarlos uno tras otro, perguntos de hacer referencia al movimiento de la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra, el cual una y otra vez ha sido objeto de ataques de parte de los sapientísimos de la raza, quienes como los de la época de Cristo, también han manifestado que su programa era un sueño irrealizable y sus adeptos la masa ignorante; pero afortunadamente, el tiempo ha de ser nuestro mejor testigo. Los actos darán comienzo con un Te Deum, que se cantará en la iglesia de nuestra senora de la Esperanza. Después del Te Deum la concurrencia se trasladará al parque situado en Riverside Drive y calle 156, o sea en el mismo lugar donde la institución se propone levantar un monumento a la memoria de Martí. Este parque será a este efecto decorado con banderas y en el le levantará una tribuna, desde la cual será pronunciado el discur so oficial, que ha sido uncomandado por el directorio del comité al miembro cooperador y viceconsul de Cuba señor Hirginio Medrano. Terminado el referido discuruo el presidente del comité, el secretario interino de la presidencia señor José Herrera y el vocal de miembros y ceremonias señor Francisco Fonseca, hijor, depositarán un ramo de flores y una bandera nacional cuatena en el mismo lugar donde se levantará el monumento a Martí. Este lugar es el comprendido en el centro del parque indicado y en el que actualmente se halla justalada una fuente. La bandera nacional cubana quedra en el indioador lugar durante dos días; al cabo de los cuales será recogida por la comisión especial que dentro de la institución se ha creado para atender a todo relacionado con las banderas de la institución; cuya comisión será dirigida por el señor Juan F. Oller. recientemente nombrado a este efecto por el directorio del comité. Wood y la Investigación El gobernador Wood de las istas Filipinas, se está retractando de su autocracia en el gobierno con el objeto de impedir la investigación pendiente en el congreso, según declarar los miembros de la mision filipina en Washington. La misión filipina, que preside el senior Manuel Rojas, presidente de la camara de diputados, cita dos ejemplos. El gobernador Wood por la primera vez consultó con los miembros de su gabinete las medidas que deseaba recomendar a la legislatura filipina y huelo dió permiso a los miembros de su gabinete para que enviaran los proyectos de su departamentos respectivos directamente a la legislatura, en vez de hacerlo por mediación del ejecutivo, como ha sido la práctica desde su administración. El general Wood ha visto la inscripción en la muralla, declara el conisionado señor Rojas. Nada puede detener ya la investigación de su gobierno autocrático en las Filipinas. Las resoluciones ahora pendientes ante las dos cimarras del conreso, presentadas por el representante Frear de Wisconsin y el senador Ladd-de North Dakota, que proponen a completa investigación de la administración de Wood, seria una revelación para los Estados Unidos. He recibido noticias de que el general Wood ha recibido informes de que es inevitable la investigación y que sera completa. Toda hace creer que mi información es de buena fuente y adniza el gobierno se ha apartado radicalmente de su proceder anterior. La Fuerza de la Voluntad Hay, peregrino, una senda, desalta aquel que entra y avanza pierde te mor al desengaño. Es ancha, has recta y despejada, después de comienzos muy thuros y tournizos. Pasa por medio de todos los campos de cultivo que granjean bona y provee ho. Quien por ella llega a la esencia del mundo puede considerarse que la cosegijo todas las plantas de mirtica virtud, de que hablan las levendas la bieara que preserva de la fascinación, el negente que devuelve la alegría, y el bongo que inquieta el ardor de las bantallas. Tenjer experiencia de esta senda vale tanto como llevar la piedra de parangon con que aquilatar la calidad de las cosas cuyas apariencia nos incitan. Por ella se sabe a desquijar los lones, tarto como a ciner la oliva de paz. Cuando por otros caminos se las busca, todas las tigres son al cabo paramos y yermos; pero el ella fue el camino, amla la mis ferida se truva en fetal empiso; su sequidad se abre en veneros de vivivas; cilurense las desnadas prinas de bosque, y el aire se anima con muchas y bintadas aves. Toma, peregrino, esa senda, y el bien que sonaste sera tiro...;... Azas los ojos? consultas, en derredor, el horizonte? . No alia, no afuera, sino en lo hondo de ti mismo, en el seguro de tu alma, en el secreto de tu pensamiento, en lo recobido de tu corazon; en ti, ti solo, has de buscar arranque a la senda redentora! El Verso . El verso es perla. No tan de ser los versos como la rosa concifolia, toda liena de hojas, sino como el jazmin de Maibar, muy cargado de esencias. La hoja debe ser nitida, perfumada, solida, tersa. Cada vásillo suyo ha de ser un vaso de aromas. El verso, por donde quiera que se quiebre, ha de dar, luz, perfume. Han de podarse de las lengues poeticas, como del árbol, todos retosron enteros, amarillentos o mal nacidos, no de dejar más que losanos y robustos, con los que con menos hojas se alza con mas gallardia la rama y pasea en ella con más libertad la brisa, nace mejor el fruto. Pulir es bueno; mas dentro de la mente y antes de sacas el verso al labio. El verso hiere en la mente como en la cuba el mosto. Mas tal el vino majora, huigo de hecho, por aardirfir el alcholea y taninoa, ni a esquilata el verso, lueto de nacido, con engalanarlo con aditamentos y aderezos. Ha de ser hecho de una pieza y de una sola inspiración, por que no es obra de artesano que trabaja a cordel sino de hombre en cuyo seno se anidan condores, que ha de aprovechar el alteoo del condor. El Partido Laborista Británico Es indiscutible y afirmado por los hechos que, la existencia de cierto elemento social en los pueblos, con predominio, por poseer dinero y cultura está llamado a descender de grado por la rápida multicicicacion de la clase desposeida. La evolución progresiva de esta ocasiona la disolución de la sociedad establecida por el privilegio. El proletariado inglés es el lai- nado a ser el verdadero reformista del estado de cosas actuales en Ing- laterra y quizás en toda Europa. debido a su admirable cultura. La esuela. se la que en mejores condi- ciones se encuentra para realizar toda revolución y con éxito más per- fecto. Hasta ahora todas las clases huchado para adquirir el poder, con motivos violentes cuyo resultado ha sido poco satisfactorio para llegar a la equidad social. Han infinido bastante, elementos idealistas extranjeros en la organización obrera inglesa, pero el verdadero genio organizador anaterialista es puramente ingles. LOS Trade Unions, Co-operation y Factory Legislations han sido organizados bajo una base socialista desarrollada por medio de acuerdos y alianzacentre los mismos obreros en diferentes ramos, y el capital. El socialismo llegó en un periodo hasta cierto grado de decrepidid por la poca regeneración de ideas que mereció el sarcasismo y el desprecio hasta por los mismos dirigentes. Luego al hacerse político tomp incremento y amenazó a las instituciones de las sociidades capitalistas y persecución al gobierno con la destrucción de la supremacia burguesa y la conquista del poder político. Hoy tenemos al proletario ingles manejando las riendas del gobierno, no por haber violentado con la fuerza sino por la imbidad política. L. Santana.

TIFIC WAY THE HIGH SCHOOL DOMS OUR WOMEN and WHAT THEY THINK-Edited by Mrs. Amy Jacques Garvey Bannery Macdonald, leader of the Labor Party, has assumed the Premiership of England, and conjectures are rife as to what radical changes will be brought about during his regime. The new Premier is a Socialist and Pacifist, but there is no occasional alarm in England, as his speeches and actions indicate, that he is highly aware of the delicate position in which he and his party are involved, and they are endeavoring to get the good will of the party. The Labor Party is not yet strong enough to advance any radical measures, and the best it can do is to abstain from any controversial measures until its testing period is passed. Any incautious move at this time will ruin the future of the party now in power. Premier Macdonald has shown inherent Scottish shrewdness in the selection of his Cabinet, and has given appointments to men who, if overlooked, would have done incalculable harm by undermining the good intentions of his Cabinet. A few days ago a Madras newspaper published a message from the new Premier to the Indian people, in which he pleaded for good will and reason between India and England, and made it plain that "no party in England will be cowed by threats of force or by policies designed to bring the Government to a standstill, if any Indian sections are under the delusion that this is not so, events will sadly disappoint them." This is a clear indication of a cautious policy, and unless the nation is in accord with certain measures Ramsay Macdonald will not jeopardize the success of his party to practice socialism.

Manners at Lenin's funeral booth his work lives." It is a question; Petrograd has been renamed I Russian emancipator. All Russia mourns the death of Nickolai Lenin, the wonder man of Russia, who, with one blow, deposed the Czarist despots and set up a Soviet form of government in Russia—the first experiment of its kind. Lenin died a disappointed man, his economic experiment, Communism, was a failure, yet the fact remains that his was the greatest experiment undertaken by man. Many have overlooked his success in Sovietism because of his failure in the national distribution of industry, but his plans can be modified and improved upon, his mistakes can serve as guideposts to his successors. It remains to be seen whether Stalin, Kameneff and Trotsky will be able to hold in check the teeming millions of Russia, or again plunge Russia in another bloody revolution. Petrograd has been renamed Leningrad in memory of the great Russian emancipator. THE NEW WOMAN In the Political World She Is the Source of All Reform Legislation and the One Power That Is Humanizing the World BY SAYDEE E. PARHAM All life is but a continuous process of evolution. Nothing that embodies the vitalic principle of life is static. It is by the very inherent law of nature that in the changing order of every species of life we find a higher, nobler and greater ascent of life. In the mineral kingdom with its amazing wealth of stones, we find this principle in the ever increasing change of the vast variety of the mineral life. And as we ascend the scale of elevation until we reach the mammal or the animal kingdom, we find that even here is a distinctive change in the physical, mental and biological condition of men and animals. There was a time when rough men fought the ferocious beasts of the forests with their maked hands and a mere bludgeon. Today they can silence the wildest animal with BABY'S SMILE Very Interesting Booklet Mailed Free to Any Reader Many requests are being received from childless couples for the free booklet, "NATURA" written by a practitioner.

In the business-world, she is the master of the clerical detail work; in the factories she is the dynamo of production; in the theatre she is the most magnetic form of entertainment; in the political world she is the source of all reform legislation and the one power that is humanizing the world. In all great movements for the redemption of the oppressed masses, she is always ready and responsive to the great appeal, and this power generated by this great civilizer of all future civilization is the new woman! Difference Between Eastern And Western Dancers (From New York American) "The West has made the sex the basis of dancing. Western dances are all more or less conventional forms of love-making between man and woman. To use the dance for that and only that is to narrow its possibilities and its beauty. In Japan many other emotions besides romantic love are expressed in the dance. All feeling is line. Another difference between the dancing of the East and the West is that we use our bodies, they their feet. But perhaps that is because our rooms are so small. That morden men and women must be taught to dance is a commentary on the unhappiness of our age. Even a woman of seventy is not too old to dance. I prefer to dance with a mask over my features. It is too easy to dance a story if one may use one's face to express feelings. A THOUGHT Trust none; For oathe are straws, men's faiths are wafer-cakes. And hold-fast is the only dog. —Shakespeare. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1984 WOMEN'S PARTY WANTS NOT ONLY EQUAL RIGHTS, BUT EQUAL RESPONSIBILITIES WITH MEN A bill repealing the law that forbids the employment of women at night in certain occupations will be introduced in the State Legislature at the present session at the request of the New York State Branch of the National Woman's Party, according to information from party headquarters. The bill, which probably will precipitate hot discussion among women's organizations, is a step in the equality program of the National Woman's Party. Equal Responsibility In accordance with that program, twenty-two other bills have been introduced in the Senate and Assembly at the present session designed to equalize not only the rights, but also the responsibilities of men and women. Three of them are introduced for the first time this year. These would make a wife as responsible to the law for abandoning husband, or children. If they are likely to become a public charge, as the husband now is or abandoning wife, or children. One even removes the clause in the existing law which excuses a widow, or a woman living separate from her husband, "from having her property attached if she absconds, leaving them without support. A fourth new bill is aimed at discrimination between men and women teachers as to pay, appointments, assignments, promotion, transfer, resignation, insignisal or any other operation of the school system. The question was raised, when he measures were introduced, whether substitution of the word "consort" for "wife" in the bills that make women as well as men responsible for abandonment would leave a loophole by which women might yet escape responsibility, because the pronoun "he" was used. The question also has been raised whether "consort" could be construed has meaning also persons living together though not married. Woman the Unpaid Laborer The other eighteen are bills which failed to pass at the last session and are reintroduced this year. They strike at all sorts of preferences given to men over women and at some given to unmarried women over married women and to women over men. "Since Suffrage we are reorganized for the one purpose of removing all forms of subjection of women," said Mrs. Smith. "We want not only equal privileges but equal responsibilities. The inequalities of industry are included in our program. We say that in the field of labor we ask that no restrictions be placed upon women alone, because such restrictions make it difficult for women to compete with men in earning a livelihood. "We say that women, always have performed the unpaid labor of the world and no one has ever protested as to whether it was beyond their strength or not. It is only when she goes into the field of paid labor that there is concern for her welfare. We say that if restrictions are good for the individual and for the race, such restrictions ought to apply to all workers and not to women only." There is no such intention in either case. It was said yesterday at party headquarters. Only the poverty of the English language in the riftier of pronouns with a dual gender made it necessary to use the pronoun "he" in referring to both men and women. If it becomes necessary for cleanness, Mrs. Clarence Smith, chairman of the State Board, said yesterday, to use the awkward "he or she" and "his or her" throughout the measures this will be done, but it is believed, that the use of "he" will not be misunderstood, as it is sanctioned by all authorities. Meaning of "Consort." The word "consort" is used or meaning either husband or wife, and not as meaning persons living in an unlawful relation, she said. N. Y. World.

OUR GIRLS The Negro Girl of Today Has Become a Follower Future Success Rests With Her Parents and Home Environment By CARRIE MERO LEADETT The most beautiful thing about the Negro girl of today is the future. As yet she is undeveloped and she may become what she, will, or, in other words, what she is willing to become, and as I glance about me at the girl I see on Lenox avenue with her paint and powder, at the girl who rudely runs against m in the subway train without even an "excuse me" and at the girl with whom I come in contact socially and who in one breath tells me she is a high school graduate and, in another says to me, "You know I wants to enter Hunter College in the fall." I ask myself again and again, not only what our Negro girls will become, but what will become of our Negro girls? This is an age when every one is striving for the highest and the best. The artist is striving to produce a masterpiece in art, the musician is striving to produce a masterpiece in music, the scientist is striving to produce something that will be really beneficial and which will raise humanity to a higher plane of civilization, and why should not we of the Negro race try to produce girls who could surpass those of all other races, socially, industrially and morally. Much of the future success of the Negro girls rests with their parents and their home environment, but much -dh, so much -rests with the girl herself. Each of us can advance only so far, as we are willing to advance and help others to advance, and in this age of opportunity there is no goal which cannot be attained. Personal appearance, refinement and amiability are stepping-stones to success. By personal appearance I do not mean that one must be beautiful to look at. Beauty is only a matter of opinion, and what is beautiful to one is not even pleasing to another. I have seen many a young girl who, though plain of features, was really beautiful through her gentleness of manner, refinement and pleasing, even charming personal appearance which she herself had cultivated. The Negro girl of today has become a follower and not a leader. Let us hope that the Negro girl of tomorrow will become a real leader. Today if Mary Jones, a white girl comes to school with her hair bobbed—tomorrow as many of our Negro girls as can follow suit, whether it is becoming to their features or not. If Ellen Price paints her face and powders her nose or wears a hobble skirt, tomorrow we see our own girls doing the same thing to a far greater extent. I surely am not against any girl trying to make herself more attractive or more pleasing to the eye, but by all means we should try to copy the things which are worth while, if copy we must. I remember of hearing of a young girl who was to render her first piano selection, in public, and fearing that she might appear awkward asked her muscle instructor how she must act, and what she must do. The instructor told her she would tell her, and that evening, just before the girl made her appearance, her instructor presented to her a little silver pin with the inscription, "Be Natural." Oh, if more of our girls would only "be natural" and stop affecting styles and customs and manners which in no way become them the Negro race could boast of the most beautiful women in the world.

Registration Officer—"No." Miss Brown—"Well, then, I'm the same age as they." Registration Officer—"That will do."

The man who takes a girl for better or worse should hope for the best and expect the worst. A Disadvantage Mrs. Bloosy—Oh, dear, the most marvelous gown has just come over from Paris; it's called the shadow gown. I want you to get one. Mrs. Godabent—No, thanks; I don't want it.

LUXOR, Egypt Jan. 33—(Associated Press.)—Dr. Robert Moud, the English Egyptologist, who during the past week has been engaged in clearing the space behind the Ramoseum, or mortuary temple, of Ramose II. in the region known as Sheikh Abd-E-Quirza, to remove the rubble for his intended excavation of the tomb of Ramose, an official of the heretic King'Knu-n-siten, has made some interesting finds. These are three mummies, of which two are in an excellent state of preservation. The third, possibly the body of a soldier killed in one of the wars of ancient Egypt, is in a bad state. The first two mummies proved to be the bodies of a goldsmith and his wife, a priestess of Amonie, of the twenty-fourth dynasty, 718 B.C. When the mummy of the priestess was unwrapped, it was found that under the outer wrappings her clothing of fine linen, now browned by age, had been laid neatly folded upon the body. There was a long robe, piped with green, with a V-shaped opening in front and holes for the arms, fringed around the ham; then an outer garment with a hole for the head and several fringed veils. Strangely, it was seen that at various places the garments had been darned. As each garment was unfolded and held up to the bright sunshine the native diggers broke out into loud exclamations, declaring them, identical in form and arrangement to those worn by the Fellahae women of today, Mile. Baud of the excavation mission at Thebes of the French Institute-Archological of Cairo, who was present, donned the robes, which were in excellent condition, and the contention of the diggers was found to be correct. Round the neck of the goldsmith were four amulets of steatite, and on his breast, upon a leaden symbol of hawk's wings outspread, a falence scarab with hieroglyphics painted on it. A particularly fine scarab of black basalt, painted with hieroglyphics of yellow, was found on the breast of the goldsmith's wife. RECIPES FRENCH PANCAKE8 Beat five eggs very light, add two tablespoons of melted butter, one and one-half pints of milk and enough flour, sifted, with two teaspoons of baking soda, to make a good batter. About a quart of flour will be needed. Melt a little butter in a large frying pan and pour the batter into this. When brown on one side turn quickly and brown on the other. When done, spread quickly with jelly and roll up. Transfer carefully to a very hot dish, sprinkle with powdered sugar, or with powdered sugar and ground cinnamon, and serve immediately. RAISIN PIE One-half cup sugar, 2 cups seeded raisins, 1½ cups boiling water, ½ teaspoon salt, 1 tablespoon grated orange rind, 3 tablespoons orange juice, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 tablespoon grated lemon rind, 2 tablespoons corn starch. Cook raisins in boiling water for 5 minutes, pour into sugar and corn starch, which have been mixed. Cook until thick, about 5 minutes. Remove from fire and add other ingredients. Bake between 2 crusts. Are You Seeking Vitality of Youth? Famous Scientists Now Believe That "Old Age" Comes to Most of Us Too Soon Are you weak, worn out, prematurely aged? Does the day's work drag and life seem burdensome? If so, do not despair. Science today offers new hope to millions who feel that they have paged into the twilight, of life because of disease, overwork, improper living or advancing years. Chemists have developed a new vitalizer and invigorator, intended to renew youthful energy and animation by restoring the nerves and glands to activity, enriching the blood and building up the entire system. The preparation known as marva compound, contains certain vital elements regarded by scientists as unsurpassed for restoring physical and mental power to both men and women, old and young. The compound is not a mere stimulant. Although results from its use often are very prompt and gratifying, the idea in preparing it was to originate a product which would bestow its benefits. The distributors are so condoned that has been done that they invite, any person needing such a preparation to test the marva compound under a positive money-back agreement. If you are anemic and "hair alive," if you are debilitated and depressed, if you are "draggy," nervous and "old" too soon, write to the Marva Pharmaceutical Co., Dept. 7027, Coca-Cola Building, Kannas City, Mo., for a two-dollar package of the marva compound, sent by return mail in a sealed wrapper. You may send two dollars with your payment, pay two dollars and postage on delivery, as you please, but if you report, after sending the compound, that you are not satisfied with the results, your money will be refunded at once.

JAMAICA. N. Y. LONDON, Jan. 22.—The London newspapers make much of the new address of No. 18 Downing street. Miss Isabel Macdonald, the twenty-year-old daughter of the new Prime Minister. The fact that a quiet, unassuming and home-loving girl has suddenly been thrust into his position owing to the loss of her mother appeals universally to human sympathy, and interviews and portraits of the young woman are featured widely today. The pictures show a robust girl with a pleasant smiling face, but rather demure. Miss Macdonald told interviewers that her unusual name is the Gaelle form of the English Isabel, Gaelle being the native tongue in the North of Scotland, her father's home. She is a student at a domestic science college in London and yesterday morning attended her lectures as usual before going to the Downing street mansion at the invitation of Mrs. Baldwin, who received her and showed her about the premises. "I have been studying laundry work, housewifery and cooking." Miss Macdonald said, "but I am not fond of housekeeping. I much prefer science and physics." She explained that, although she is to be mistress at No. 10 she would not NOTICE JUST OFF THE PRESS The Universal Ethiopian Anthem, Words and Music, the National Anthem of the U. N. I. A.

THE NEGRO WORLD SECTION FRANCAISE ASSOCIATION UNIVERSELLE POUR L'AVANCEMENT DE LA RACE NEGRE 54-56 Ouest, 135th Rue New York LE REV. THEODORE STEPHENS ÉDITEUR FRANÇAIRE Aux Membres Français de la Grande Famille de l'Association Universelle pour l'Avancement de la Race Negre, Salut : Chere Concoursant A l'occasion de la Nouvelle Anne 1924, nous vous envoyons nos souhaits les meilleurs. Le temps n'est plus à la fanfaromerie ni à une adulation flattente, c'est pourquoi, très brievement, nous souhaitons que l'Annee 1924 soit pour vous UNE ANNEE DE BIENVEILANCE DE PROSPERITE et de Réussite. Ce qu'il nous convient de chercher de l'ourore de 1924 c'est ce visitique qui est la base "sine qu'à non" de toute vie nationale, de tout succès et le toute bonne réussite. Nous sommares à l'aurore d'une nouvelle ere, et le temps, comme la Silyille, ne nous livrent secretes que l'un après l'autre. Nous-vous conseillons donc à la prudence, à la vigilance, et à la foi en Celui qui est le Grand Ordonnateur de toutes choses. Nous devons continuer à nous frayet, sans treuve et sans relache, une route à travers les obstacles multiples de notre vie économique, jusqu'à ce que par l'aide supérieure, et par notre intrepide, il nous soit donné d'entrer dans un Pays absolument nôtre, et là, sous un ciel sans nuage et un chemin sans encombre, travailer à l'complissement de notre destinée nationale. A la réalisation triphante de ce heat programme se devue l'Association Universelle pour l'Avancement de la Race Négre. Nikolai. Nenin, Revolutionnaire et Patriote, Mort Depuis l'époque de Pierre le Grand à nos jours, la Russie n'a jamais eu un esprit aussi fort comme celui de Nikolai Lenin, Révolutionnaire et Patriote russe, et dont la mort est une perte pour la République mal organisée des Soviets. Lenin était l'âme de la grande révolution de 1917, et c'est grâce à son esprit de patriote la Russie a pu être deharrassé de joug de Peschavage imperial. A l'instar de Napoléon Bonaparte après le chute des Bourbons, par la force d'une volonté 'indomptable, Intrepidité d'action et ses muhmieres intransigentes. Lenin, sans redouleur les consequences, se saissi du pouvoir d'une façon mani militari el纤ini par manignee une révolution dont les proportions excédent même les pouvoirs du triomvirai qui constitue TO L NEALLY FURNISHED ROOM ALA PRIVATE WITH RATES. PHYLLIS WHEAT PRICES REAS 9 West 1360 CALL AT HOTEL OFFICE la force matrice qui contrôle les 180.000.000 Russes. Lenin se trouvant à la tête d'une situation politique dont les constituants, pour la plus part, ne sont que des esprits prolétaires, mal préparés à bénéficier de cette manumission soudaine, ce_chef dans sa marche iconoclaste se constitue un nouveau Atilla—un veritable fleau. Lenin, malheureusement, n'a eu égard pour ni Dieu ni diable. Rien n'a été trop sacrosanct pour être profané par ses hordes, même le sacrarium de l'Eglise a été l'objet de la dépression de ses sacripants. Les choses les plus sacrées à l'ame russe—à l'ame humaine—ont été profanées. C'était une nouvelle édition du règne de terreur et dont les conséquences se repercutaient tant en Allemagne. que par ailleurs. Si Lenin par la force de son esprit avait coordonne ses pensées et faite abnégation de ses rancunes, la Russie aurait eu raison de bâtifier la mémoire de son idole, Nikolai Lenin. La Menace du Danger Economique Parmi les divers dangers qui menace notre Race à l'heure actuelle, nous sommes en face de la restriction imposée à la marche en avant de notre prospérité économique et politique, comme peuple. Depuis la période de la grande guerre le droit d'action industrielle a été on maintains occasions donné à notre Race. Ce changement a été nécessaire à cause de l'état anormal des affaires internationales. La guerre avec ses conséquences a produit des changements tels, que dans les industries comme dans la politique, les puissances, qui gouvernement furent forces, malgré elles, d'accorder aux Noirs la litre pratique dans les divers domaines de la vie économique. Cet état anormal des choses, creé par la guerre, est sur le point de subir une nouvelle transformation. Le peuple Américain ainsi que le monde entier fait un suprême effort d'ajuster l'équilibre des Puissances perdu durant les hostilites internationales. Conne suite de ce changement inévitable nous pourrons nous attendre à une réaction terrible dans la vie écohonique des peuples Nérres. Une Etude Serieuse des Conditions Economiques Une étude seriuse de la situation économique nous révèle que condition qui nous donne le droit de conclure que, bienont les membres de notre Race ne trouveront plus d'emploi. L'année 1924 nous sera peinable si toute fois la situation économique ne charge pas. En prévision de l'invitable, l'Association Universelle pour l'Avancement de la Race Noire, sonne le clairon d'alarme pour avertir les millions de Négres aux États Unis, dans les Antilles, Amérique du Sud, et Amérique Centrale, de se preparer en vertu de cette réaction, et de s'arranger de telle façon que par nos propres efforts et par notre énergie, il nous sera possible de reagir contre les souffrances et la devastation économiques. La Conservation Financière Pendant toute la durée de la guerre nous avons constamment enjoindre au peuple la prudence financière. Malgré nos conseils, le peuple a été très prodigie et il en est resulté que, nous nous trouvons dans la même situation économique d'avant guerre. Si par malheure ce contre-temps qui battait son plein durant la période 1910-1914 se repete avec la même intensité, nos rangés seront de nouveau décimés et la civilization Américaine et Occidentale subira une perte de plusieurs millions d'âmes qui seront dans l'impossibilité de reagir contre la famine et les autres exigences de la vie. Nous devons prendre nos précautions et nous preunir contre une nouvelle crise économique, c'est en vertu de ce que nous prevoyons que les membres de l'Association Universelle Négre se devouent et soutiennent une guerre pour la création d'un Centre Nationale en Afrique oui, libres de toutes entraves, nous pourrons développer notre vie commerciale et industrielle dans un.Pays à nous apprêtant. Il est à prévoir qu'en cas d'une nouvelle crise économique aux Etats Unis d'Amérique ou dans le monde entier—le monde de la Race blanche—que les besoins des populations "Une dépêche de Tanger annonce que Raisouli, le célébre chef dissident marocain vient de mourir. Le bruit court qu'il aurait été empoisonné. "Moular Ahmed ben Mohamed ben Raisouli a joué un grand rôle dans l'histoire des rébellions marcianes depuis le début du siècle. C'est le type de ces chefs indigenees qui avant l'intervention française, se taillaient une sorte de fief, moitié seigneurs féodaux et moitié brigands, tour à tour taintant avec les sultants ou les combattants, se refugiant, en cas d'insuccès, dans leurs repaires imprenables. "Il s'était installé dans la zone nord du Maroc et les autorités espagnols ont dû compter avec lui. "En 1897, Raisouli fut empoisonné à Magador par les autorités chériffennes. "Sorti de prison en 1902, il recrute aussitôt des partisans dans le pays de ses ancestres et commune la serie de ses exploits. "En 1903 il capture le correspondant du Times, à Tanger, et ne le relâche que contre la libération de seize de ses honnes faits prisonniers par le sultan. "L'année suivante, il enleve un riche Américain et son gendre et ne les libère que contre une rançon de 11.000 livres sterling. "On le nomme, pour l'amadouer, gouverneur de Tanger. Il se montre, dans se nouveles fonctions, tyranique et insupportable. Devant les protestations de la colonie européenne, le sulan le relève de ce poste. Raisonlui reprend alors son existence de chef rebelle et de brigand, installé dans son de Tazrout, au cœur des montagues du Rif, derrière une barrière de crêtes difficilement franchissables. C'est la, d'ailleurs, que ce trouve les tombres de ces ancêtes. "En 1907 Rasoulit retour prisonier Sir Harry Maclean, nommé aid par le sultan dont il organisait les troupes et qui était venu negocier avec le chef rebelle. Sir Harry demeura en captivité pendant de longs mois et n'obtient sa liberté que contre une rangon de 20,000 livres sterling. "Depuis l'installation des espagnols dans le Riff, Rasonli était souvent entré en contilité avec eux, mais chaque affaire se terminait par des transactions. "Lan dernier, des avions espagnols bombardient sa forteresse de la Tazort, mais depuis, Rasonli était devenu Taim de l'Espagne, et il intrigait, ces derniers, temps, pour être nommé calife de la zone soumise au protecteur de nos voisinstransporteurs." Protestation Contre Les Taxes Internes Chaque peuple a son problème. Le peuple d'Haiti, comme céant des États Unis a aussi l'seen. D'après "Le Courier Haitien" le peuple de la République d'Haiti a protesté contre les "Taxes Internes." Nous reproduisons: "Le peuple d'Haiti est déjà accable d'Impôts. Il ne sait on reposer sa fête avec les taxes communes, taxes de l'Eat-Civil; impôts territoriaux formant les Droits à l'Export; Droits à l'Import; taxes et surtaxes; taxes sur l'Energieirement, sur la transcription, sur les papiers timbres; taxes de l'Eglise, taxes judiciaires et heugoup de taxes, internes existantes, etc., etc. "Contribuable et consommateur, sous le poils de la misère, il prend son courage à deux mains pour souffrir tous ces impôts, toutes ces taxes, afin que le-service de son pays marche. Or, si d'autre taxes interne viennent se greffer sur les autres taxes existantes, ce sera la mort pour lui."—Le Courier Haitien. $2.98 blanchea seront en tout dont de cause prise en bonne considération, même au préjudice des intérêts de toute autre Race. C'est un truine que les membres de la Race blanche s'entraident à tous les points de vue économique, social, politique. Cette Race aura la rude besogne de pouvoir aux besoins de laure propres congenères. D'urgence donc, il nous faut faire un supreme effort en dépit de tous les obstacles, afin d'être à l'abri des vents et des flots et ce à partir de la nouvelle année 1924. Rapellons-nous que la résolution la plus urgente nécessaire à notre succès, c'est la confiance en soi-même, et la détermination de faire resolument de nous-même et par la grâce de Dieu, afin de pouvoir aux besoins de notre propre Race et de notre porteur. Toutes Erreuré Prejudicables aux Intérêts de la Race Si à l'heure actuelle, comme Peuple, nous devenons coupables de certaines erreurs, notre condanion économique et politique est scellée. Nous devons nous appliquer avec intensité de pensée à améliorer notre situation tant actuelle que future car notre cadre d'action très restreindre. Ce n'est point que le monde qui nous entour voudra nous anantir, mais c'est le "struggle for life" qui exige au groupe oppose, au nom de leurs propres intérêts, de se coaliser afin de se maintenir en dépit de tout. Les guerres futures seront des guerres absolument économiques et politiques, et le combat à livrer sera un combat pour la conservation de soi-même et celle de sa propre Race. L'heure actuelle n'est point aux suppliques; il s'agit de tenir ferme et de reclamer nos droits. Seul, chacun doit gravir les hauteurs escarpées de l'existence et travailleurs d'un commun accord, avec attendre le lebut, c'est dire, la raison d'être de Association Universelle pour l'Avancement de la Race Négre. Que Chacun Soit Bien Determine Quie chaque membre de l'Association Universelle pour l'Avancement de la Race Negre de revêtir de l'armure invincible de la détermination afin de voir la réalisation triomphante de notre programme. Tandis que au tour de nous le monde nous ferme graduullement ses portes politiques et économiques, d'un pied ferme, mettons nous à la tache de developper un Pays dont les arts et metiers, les industries et la politique seront nos propres créations. D'un cœur palpitant d'energie, marchons à l'avant, sachant que sous le soleil qui luit pour tous, dans les afaires mondiales une place—notre propre place—nous est reserve.

To the Editor of The Negro World: Permit me space in your valuable paper to say a few words concerning the Negro in Miami. For three weeks I have been here from New York. I visited Liberty Hall, of this city, and I must say the Negroes of Miami are making wonderful progress in the Uni- versal Negro Improvement Association. The members and visitors are busy nightly attending meetings. In every corner I go I hear talk of good news of Hon. Marcus Garvey and The Negro World. As for The Negro World, they use it as the true bible of the race. It makes me feel happy to see that Negroes are coming together every day. Of course, as you know, some of them are very hard to come together, but, believe me, in a short time to come they all will rush in. Some of them are asking me what I think of this movement. I tell them all I think of it is to keep it up. Stand by it until the freedom of Africa is gained. They say, amen. So by that way I believe they'll come along with me. I don't care how hard Negroes may be, when they read The Negro World they must change, because the doctrines of the U. N. I. A. are strong here and everywhere. They must be converted by our leader. Hon. Marcus Garvey, who stands for the right of the black brothers and sisters of the world. The Negro begins to realize the truth. To the Editor of The Negro World: I am writing to inform you that, as was expected, force has been used to prevent the Haitian people from manifesting their constitutional right by going to the ballot box on the 10th of the present month to reconstitute the legislative chambers dissolved, manumilitari, by the occupation. Mr. Borneo, the de facto president, had the crowd of voters charged, resulting in many casualties. In most parts of the country the candidates and some voters were beaten and thrown in fall. High Commissioner Russell and Gen. MacDougal resorted to all kinds of dirty acts to scare and discourage the people. But, knowing right was on their side, they did not shirk their duty. In spite of the display of machine guns and the grim faces of the marines, they went bravely forward, expecting all the time to be riddled with bullets, and cast their votes for the nationalist candidates. But, when the votes were to be counted up, the ballot boxes were gone. So we have found ourselves about where we started out. It is only in Port-au-Prince that things went on a little better. Four senators and three deputies have been elected. They are: Messrs. F. L. Cauvin, Pierre Hudicourt, F. B. Cosar and Vernaly Gousse for the department of the west, and Messrs. Antoine Pierre-Paul, Victor Cauvin, Eile Guerin for the arrondissement of Port-au-Prince. Now, what the Haitian people would like to be informed about is this: Must they consider the constitution written for them by the Washington government as a scrap of paper? Only President Coolidge can give a definite answer to that question. JOSEPH MIRAULT. New York City, January 17. He Dreamed of Boats Filled With Negroes To the Editor of the Negro World: Could you allow me just a few lines in the Negro World to say something that interests me very much? In a dream, I dreamed I was travelling, and I saw up in the clouds, between northeast, one line of boats that would extend 100 miles and into these boats were all black people.

These boats were sailing into a bright, bright red cloud, and I was startled, amazed. A short while after a man appeared in my midst and told me not to get frightened, as there was "nothing to be amazed, about. So I then took fresh courage and was cheered in my sleep. Dear sir, it made a great impression upon me. I am a brother in Bartle Division, and second lieutenant in the Legion. THEODORE THEOPHILUS WIL- LI To the Editor of The Negro World: I am not an active member of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, but as a New Negro and friend of the organization I have felt it my duty to say a few words in behalf of the Honorable Marcus Garvey and the Universal Negro Improvement Association that is acting in the interest of the 400,000,000 Negroes scattered throughout the world. Marcus Garvey, the man of vision, who has been dragged down or kept pulling down on both sides because he has awakened the unconscious mind of the Negro, telling him the possibility of the redemption of his forefathers' land, Africa. Marcus Garvey, the man of vision, who sees what others do not see, who sees further than they see, who sees before they see, is now paying the penalty for his audacity, whether his vision be true or false. Such must be the case, for, as Jesus Christ Who is God Himself, and to Whom the people shouted to the top of their voices, saying, "Hosannah in the highest, blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord!" yet a week afterward the same people cried "Crucify Him, crucify Him!" So fickle is the heart of man. All that is required of us as loyal members of the Negro race and friends of the Honorable Marcus Garvey is to stick to him to the end and be not like Peter. Negroes who don't believe in the doctrines and leadership of Marcus Garvey are in the class of those who have no confidence in themselves and are apt to betray the race. There has been always a lot of criticism and misunderstanding of Markus Garvey. There are certain qualities about him that cannot be understood, and "vision" is the chief of them. Of what does it consist? By that magic it would transform Africa to the level of European civilization and culture. The U. N. I. A. stands for true leadership, and if there is a leader it is Markus Garvey. I am compelled to believe that the solution of the Negro problem in America rests largely with their own leaders. Given a free hand to work out his own destiny, I believe the Negro is eager to establish his racial personality, to live by himself, to create an art, a literature, a music and a social life of his own, independent of the white man, and forever respectfully recognize the barrier of color.

A., better known as 'Dolphus, Blackman, on January 2, after a five months' illness of paralysis. Born on the island of Barbados in the month of October, 1898, Mr. Blackman, after graduating from school, received a teacher's tuition and, without a single failure, successfully passed the four-year course. He was alternately assistant master of St. Stephen's and Eagle Hall schools, which latter he resigned and came to this country in 1917. Posessing excellent qualities, and himself the incarnation of the will-to-success, the ambitious youth, while studying law, continued his study of Latin and also studied Spanish. He received LLB. from the Chicago Law School of Midland University, from which he was a graduate of the class of 1922. With the thought ever before him that a structure, to be worthy, should be consolidated from base to summit, he immediately sailed to England, where he whistled no time to register at the Inns of Court and paying full fees for course leading to the London, R.
