DEATH OF WOODROW WILSON GREAT LOSS TO WHITE WORLD FELLOW MEN OF THE NEGRO RACE. Greeting: The white world has lost another great leader in the person of Woodrow Wilson. This great man of the white race, who did so much for the salvation of his own, has passed from time to eternity. Not only has white America lost an able advocate and leader, but the entire Caucasian world has suffered in the demise of this great man. Hope to White World Wilson held out hope to the white world of controlling despots. For him there was but one duty, realizing the difficult position in which his race had placed itself, and that was to unitedly face the world and not continue drifting in separate and distinct groups, fighting each against the other. Blunder of "World Safe for Democracy" after he made the blunder of the "World safe for Democracy" and the liberation of weaker peoples, found out that the practice of such an ideal would have resulted in a terrible compromise between the dominant white races and the darker peoples of the world who were being kept down by the former. For the world to experience real democracy meant the liberation of all oppressed peoples, which England was not prepared for, nor Italy, nor Belgium, nor Portugal, nor any of the great white colonizing powers of Eupore. Realizing the tremendous blunder he made in arousing the desires of the oppressed millions for a larger democracy and freedom as against the interest of the scattered and separate dominant white groups, he was forced to put forward a new program by which he could save the situation after the war, and that was embodied in his idea of the League of Nations. Uniting Scattered White Races Wilson calculated that by uniting the scattered white races into a great league they would unitedly fight against the rising fide of independence on the part of the weaker and oppressed peoples to whom he had given hope under his declaration of the "World Safe for Democracy" and the restoration of the weak. Wilson knew well that he could not restore peace to the world under the reign of materialism that now exists. He knew that human nature was too perverse, too material, to reconcile itself to injustice and be peaceful; hence, we are left to conclude that he spoke of peace to the world, not from the human, physical arrangement, but from some unseen spiritual benediction or blessing. Wilson and Christ 4. Did Wilson hope to do more than Christ? That is a query that we are bound to submit because Christ himself failed in bringing peace to the world, and he was the Son of God. - Wilson, because of his high intelligence, with his knowledge of history, knew well that no human power WAS GREAT LEADER OF HIS PEOPLE NEGROES MOURN HIS LOSS AS DID WHITES BOOKER T. WASHINGTON "MAKING THE WORLD SAFE FOR DEMOCRACY" AROUND THE WORLD-CHRIST MUST BE FOR ALL MANKIND IF HE IS TO BE USEFUL could restore peace; therefore, if he desired the reign of peace and held himself up as its exponent, he was hoping to do so through some spiritual power. Probably Wilson believed himself called as a prophet, as Elijah, or John the Baptist, or any of the great spiritual leaders of old, but, unfortunately and sorrowfully, he did not rise to the occasion and he died a disappointed man. For us to have peace, such as Wilson dreamed of, we must hope for the return of Christ or some one greater than Christ. We are convinced through the death of Wilson that it is not possible for man in the ordinary possession of the human attainments to bring about peace in an impossible world like that of the twentieth century. Wilson stretched the peace idea further than any other man of the present age. He had gone the limit, and the result was a wrecked physical personality. With the example taught us by Wilson we realize that it is useless for any other human being to attempt this impossible act through the same agency as did Wilson. For us to have peace and world satisfaction, we must have an honest adjustment of our human ills. There can be no Christ for any particular people. There must be a Christ for all, if the world must be saved. A Partisan Leader Wilson was a partisan leader. His vision was one for the white race; therefore, he was not an apostle of all mankind. His vision of partisan service caused him to see nothing else but a great white league that would dominate the affairs of the variegated world. Such a league could not last, and no peace founded upon such a league would be permanent, because in the world today, with the variety of opinion, variety of ideals, variety of outlook, we have conflicting interests that must be satisfied. Thus, the Hindoo is not going to allow the Alglo-Saxon to rule him through the League of Nations; the Negro is not going to allow the French to continue their domination even through a League of Nations; the Asiatics and other oppressed peoples are not hoped to be could not materialize. The great blessing that he hoped to have bestowed upon his people could not be accomplished because his God was not with him. There is no partisanship in God. There is a God of all humanity, including white, yellow and black; therefore, for man to hold his brother to high ideals upon the basis of love and kinship he must forget partisanship. He must see the interest of all if he is to be a true representative of God and a disciple of the Jesus of Nazareth. Harding and Wilson White America has lost two great men: Harding a Wilson. Two men who stood out for noble ideals, only t. they confined them to their particular race. Oh, what blessing they would have been to the world if their mission was to save all humanity regardless of color! If others mu take the place of Wilson or of Harding, let them profit l the mistakes of these individuals and collective. of this universal harmony that desire if we sectionalize our blessings that which is to save man from the infliction of his wrath upon his brother. Nagroes Mourn With White World the four hundred million Negroes of the world mourn with white America and the white world in the death Woodrow Wilson. We are appreciative of the fact that the man he was a patriot and a loyalist of the first order. Only should white America mourn, but all Europe should go in "sack cloth and ashes," for Wilson to them was a pa san savior. Wilson saved Europe in 1918. Wilson saw the white race when he forced America into the war in 1918. Wilson was indeed a far-serving leader of his people. I white race should never forget him. The black race w remember, honor, revere and respect him. With very best wishes for your success. I have honor to be Your obedient servant. MARCUS GARVEY, President-General.

Mr. Garvey spoke feelingly of the admirable qualities of Mr. Wilson as statesman, leader, philosopher and teacher, and characterized him as a "great and exceptional which man" and "one of the greatest characters" of the age," who stood for the highest and loftiest ideals of the white race. His immortal declaration issued during the World War" making the world safe for democracy" and "the freedom of the weaker peoples," said Mr. Garvey, made Woodrow Wilson a missionary and an apostle to the world, and Negroes mourned and expressed their sorrow because he gave them that beautiful inspiration which it hoped will end in the liberation of our people throughout the world and the reemption of our country, Africa. Mr. Garvey referred in terms of praise to the efforts of Mr. Wilson to establish the League of Nations as a means of bringing an era of peace to the world, but he added that peace will not come until the suffering of oppressed humans everywhere has been alleviated; until justice be brought to the poor of a race and nation there can be no peace and there can be no League of To Readers of The Negro World To Readers of The Negro World As a special inducement we will publish announcements of weddings, orths and obituaries for $10.

The other speakers were Hon. G. F. Carter and Hon. Thomas W. Anderson. Mr. Carter, commenting on the Bok Peace Plan, which was proposed to put an end to war, pointed out the futility of the plan, inasmuch as the real causes of modern war are economic, whereas the plan was political in its scope. To substantiate his contention he traced the origin of the Revolutionary War, the Civil War and the recent World War and showed how these struggles were precipitated because of an existing economic condition. Mr. Anderson stressed the need of sincerity in any movement. Christianity, he said, succeeded because it was founded by a sincerer man and because the movement was based upon truth. Protestantism succeeded because Martin Luther was intensely sincer. Mohammed was truly a sincerer man, and the Universal Negro Improvement Association is triumphing because its membership is sincer, but most of all because the leader and founder himself is sincer. Before entering on his speech for the evening, Mr. Garvey announced the arrival in Monrovia, on January 81, of the U. N. I. A. delegates, which news was communicated by cablegram received on the previous day. He also announced with regret news from the Cambridge Division, in Massachusetts, that their hall and all its furnishings were destroyed by fire this afternoon. Finally he made announcement of two monster meetings to be held by the New York Division and other nearby division, on Sunday afternoon and evening, March 16, initiating an international drive for the putting over of its 1924 program. The meetings, he stated, would be the greatest in the history of the organization. They were going to be a wonderful display of the strength of the greatest Negro movement in the world and a demonstration of our determination to put over in 1924 the greatest program ever undertaken by a race. Following is the text of the specifier THE PASSING OF WOODROW WILSON Mon, Matus Garvey spoke on the subject, "The Passing of Woodrow Wilson." He said: "Woodrow Wilson is dead. The civilized world will mourn because one of the greatest characters of the age has passed away. He has left a void for leadership in the white world. Woodrow Wilson was indeed a great and exceptional white man. His thoughts were deep, his vision was far-reaching for his race. The 400,000,000. Negroes of the world moan with the white race because of the loss of one of their greatest leaders and statesmen. An Exceptional White Man Making the World Safe for Democracy "A statement like that is worthy of the greatest thought, whether the man who uttered it was white or black. The individual who would be capable of giving forth such a thought or sentiment and an idea carrying with it a desire, is worthy of respect and honor. It was that declaration that caused hundreds of thousands; yea millions of men to leave their wives, their loved ones, their firesides between 1915, 1916, 1917 and 1918, and face the holocaust of Europe—the bloody war that swept out of the world millions of lives; that caused millions of souls to perish, not only on the battlefields of France and Flanders and Mesopotamia, but to have perished even at their homes. Many mothers died, many children died, because of the death of the head of the family—the father, the husband or the brother—on the far-flung battlefield, drawn there by the beautiful statement of Woodrow Wilson of making the world safe for democracy and bringing liberty to the weaker peoples of the world. Should Reverence and Respect Him "Therefore, if he was a colored man or any other man, because of the loft- ness of the statement, the ideal em- bodied in the statement—if he was honest—we should reverence and respect him and in his death we should mourn his loss. It is because of such that we Negroes and reason to mourn for Wilson at this time, but otherwise it would have been this special duty of the white people to mourn for a great white leader, because as a white man Woodrow Wilson's. loftest purpose and idea was to see the perpetuation of the white man's rule of the world. It was that desire which caused him to work so hard and, I believe, have suffered so much which has resulted in his death—In bringing together not only the Versailles Peace Conference, but his ideal dream of a League of Nations. His Vision of the Ruin of the White Race "Woodrow Wilson saw through his vision the dismemberment or the rule of the white race through other wars greater than the one of 1914-1918. Therefore he was charged to his enormous soul and to his every face to exert every bit of his intelligence and energy in hanging the white world to its sider senses as to save itself at the present time and its posterity. That was what wrecked the health of Woodrow Wilson. As a statesman and a great political visioner he saw between 1914 and 1918 and up to the time of his death the dismemberment of his race caused through the great understanding that excited among them and among the people whom they expressed a larger number than themselves. Started the World Alliance Woodrow Wilson, whom he was conscious of it or not, when he made the declaration of making the world safe for democracy and for the freedom of the weaker peoples of the world – whether he became condescension after a while that he couldn't recall it, that he had said something that started the world alliance – whether it was that thought that drove him to his physical collage or not. I am not prepared at this hour to say. But Woodrow Wilson found out that his race could no longer exist as the tyrannies of the world in single groups as they were before the 1914-1918 holocaust. He saw that the weaker peoples who were kept down by these divided groups of the white people had caught on to the fanning idea of liberty and, especially so, were then forged on and activated by the wonderful declaration, he made in the world safe for democracy" and "the liberation of the weaker peoples." The Cry Taken Up He found the people of India had taken up the cry; he found the people of Japan had taken up the cry; he found the people of Asia had taken up the cry; he found that the scattered Negroes of the world and Africa had taken up the cry. (Applause). Woodrow Wilson found out that among the 1,500,000,000 of the world's population that his race represented only about 500,000,000 and that the one billion were of the oppressed class, and when the world became stirred by the declaration of "freedom of the weaker peoples" and "the world safe for democracy," he had stirred up one billion men who were kept down by 500,000,000. Therefore, he had to justify his mistake and try to save his own rights. Therefore, after he made the declaration, there was but one thing for him to do, and that was to call the attention of the 500,000,000 who had divided themselves up into separate and distinct groups floating against each other—England and France and Italy and Germany and Russia and Spain—to the tremendous Ranger of one billion men standing up declaring for their freedom while they fought among themselves. League of Nations the Only Solution Hence, he said, the only solution was a league bringing together all these scattered forces of his own race and using them as one great driving force so that if three should be any future attempt on the part of the one Billion scattered as they were to fight for their freedom that they would not be confronted by the single and individual white nations like England or like France, but would be confronted with a combined strength of the entire white world. The Mistake That Wrecked Wilson's Life Wilson found out his mistake after he had made that beautiful declaration, and he had to do something to save himself and save his race. I believe that is responsible for the physical collapse of Woodrow Wilson, from which he never recovered. Wilson am Apostle He was indeed a missionary and an apostle to the world. He was a missionary and an apostle if for nothing else but for that beautiful declaration — making the world safe for democracy. (Great applause). Why Negroes Mourn Wilson Therefore; we mourn for Woodrow Wilson. We mourn and are sorry and express, our sorrow because he was one of those who gave us that beautiful inspiration which we hope will end in the liberation of our people throughout the world, and the redemption of our country, Africa. (Great applause.) Tomorrow the newspapers will expire this great man. It is their duty. He is a great white hero—the greatest probably of the age. The white race has much to thank Woodrow Wilson for. At least they should thank him for the sober advice he has given them. Unfortunately it came too late. It came at a time when it was not possible to heal the great wound—that open wound; that open sore that has been caused through the infirmity of a people wiping rulers for centuries. The sore is not only among the oppressed when they have kept down but the sore is among themselves that it is impossible for all of them to be healed at the same time. It is going to take a long time to heal the African scores. It is going to take a long time to heal the European scores. Why Germany has a big, big sore (Laughingly). It is going to take the German physician a long, long while before they can heal that sore caused through the wound inflicted by France, especially within recent days. His Dreams Not Realized Therefore, Wilson will be assured without his dream being realized. I hardly believe the dream of Woodrow Wilson for a League of Nations will materialize before 50 years ago. I believe one of the most important will have a League of Nations when all men get back to their color. When all men realize that all are created out of a common humanity, that we are all living being, entitled to the same human rights, but not one Savoyard, the Louis de Cormier, but one Lion God, the Creator. When we get to the point where which men will use and which the black men will sit subject of the Creator, not that we will have a League of Nations, which will be a long war. We are to help point that about as well, the water that will have to do with it should be already where the League will be. The League will be a man who are in power, big enough to protect them from all other enemies and will reap them from them. The man who is as the second, the third and black men will be the ones. We we are there we are going to be only a matter of time, but we are going to have a precious leader of men. The League with One Race Up and Another Down But it only comes true when he takes down, while that he takes up and the other remains still there, going to be to be leagged. Then he goes to be conquered, there are going to be wars and punts of wars, and Wilson was not so great. He thought he could have had a league in 1915. If he was not misguided then he was a greater dreamer, he was a greater spiritual system, the Christ. He was a deeper temptation and a greater spiritual tenor than Christ of me thought, that he had sufficient miraculous power to have brought the heart of men so quickly after a bloody war and where there was so much robbery, and make them all see each other as brothers, sk around the same peace table feeling satisfied with each other. He was either misguided or more spiritual than Christ, because Christ never even attempted such a thing. Christ was sensible enough to know that he came away a time when he couldn't save all men; he could only preach and leave them to save themselves. Woodrow Wilson intended to settle human illms and let us all meet around the table of peace. He had a big, big spiritual thought. I believe he thought he was going to do it by a miracle—that one day he would get up in some, white robe and just spread out his wings and fly up in the heavens and say to the world: "Peace; he still." (Laughter.) But he didn't do anything of the kings, he didn't exert the power of Christ; he had not the power of God, and therefore he had to fall. ARE YOU SICK?

And those black fellows sat down and clapped their hands and cheered. The white man was not speaking to them, (Laughter and applause). He was speaking to the front line of white men and women, those who occupied the front seats. But those Negroes were not able to discriminate. They knew they had no fathers at Waterloo. They knew that Wellington had no black children; they knew that Horatio Nelson never had a black son or a daughter. So, when that white Englishman was speaking of the glories of the past, of Wellington at Waterloo, of Nelson at Trafalgar, he never meant them at all. He was speaking to the few white men and women who sat in the front seats. "The Negro must be in a position to discriminate and in that discrimination we now see where the white people have best, a great man, a great hero, a great leader, and all that the Negro can do at the prequel time is to how his head, returning to the white people the same kind of a compliment the white people return. If the black people use a great black leader, I believe when Booker Washington died of white people, of this country incarnation, and were sorry because the black people had lost against a leader, a great idealist, who stood out in his way as Woodrow Wilson stood out among the white people.

It cannot be done until you alleviate the suffering of oppressed humanity everywhere; until you have brought justice to the poor of a race and nation, there can be no peace! there can be no League of Nations except it is a peace brought by God himself.

ALLEN, Gn. Jr. Mlgr. American Woolen Mills Co. greatest leader died in the Western World several years ago, Booker Washington, so must we mourn, now the death of Woodrow Wilson, the greatest white man of the world of the present age. He was great because he sought the salvation of the white race. He was great, he was a leader of his people. He was great because he had dreams of their eternal salvation. He was great, because he studied for the supremacy of his race. He was great to his race, and I feel sure his race will not be wanting in appreciation for his services—will not be wanting in appreciation for the wonderful services he has rendered them. "The Greatest Anglo-Saxon" "And we also are not unmindful of the fact that we have to discriminate between the appreciation, the sorrow that they have and the sorrow that we have. The sorrow that we have is the sorrow for a fallen man, a soul that has taken its flight from this world. No one wants to die except the man who is so badly fixed that it is not worth white to live. But everybody wants to live, and therefore we must be sorry that this man died because life to him was precious. In the broader, sense of humanity we mourn, we weep for the death of this great man, the greatest American of the white race; I believe, the greatest man of the Anglo-Saxon race. And for days I feel sure the Negroes of America, of the Western World and of this civilization will show their despair of this great man." (Applause.)

Grant of Illinois President over Governor Horatio Seymour of Néw York, whom the Democrats had nominated to lead the forlorn hope. It was in 1868, and Negroes had voted under the Reconstruction Act in the Southern States for members of the Constitutional conventions and for mem- bers of the legislature, in both which they were very largely repre- sented, béfore taking part inthe Presidential clection. ‘The meeting in New York of the Democratic Convention fifty-six years later, will be memorable also because of the radical changes which have been wrought in the Nggro’s political status since 1868. Seymour's nomination was brought'about by the masterful strategy of Samuel J. Tilden of New. York who, in 1876, was the Democratic candidate for President, and came near being clected by fraud, in- ‘imidation and murder in the Southern “States and corruption in some of the Northwest States, especially in Oregon, and when the first blow at the equal suffrage of the Negro people and their right to be voted for as well as to-vote was struck down by the organized cut-throatry of the Ku. Klux Klan. The Reconstruction goverftinents oi the Southern States were overturned and usurped by fraud, in- timidation and murder, and Democratic control-of those States has since continued, growing from bad to worée“all of the time, so that now their governments are so one-sided and ‘corrupt as tu be a stench in the nostrils of the Nation, which crics unceasingly to High Heaven for radical reformation. ‘The. wholesale migration of Negroes from the tyranny of the Southern Democrats may be one of the answers to the ery. It is reasonable to so regard it. The Democratic party is no better in any respect. as a National crganization, on the race question, than it was in 1868, while the Republican party is a great deal worse. It no longer stands fur human interests as in 1868, nor has it the outstanding statesman- ship and idealisms, that fought through the Civil War and made the Civil War amendments inseparable parts of the National Con- stitution, abolishing slavery and enfranchising the free man. ‘The old Republican statesmen accomplished a great work, and it is for us to sce to it that designing enemies do not undo it. We do not hope that’ the Democratic Convention in June will adopt 2 more libera! and, just policy towards the Negro citizenship, but there are some Negroes who entertain such hope. It is often difficult for the Negro to support the Republican party, because it often looks and acts towards him and his best interests as the Demo- cratic party looks and acts. That was the case with the Harding Administration, whose reactionary policy towards us we believe President Coolidge is-striving in good faith to reverse. _And the Negro—he is a stronger and a better man than he was fifty-six years ago, when the Democratic Convention last met in New York City.

It has been said that Mr. Wilson was an internationalist rather than a nationalist in his sympathies; that he was more concerned ‘about the condition of the oppressed peoples of Europe than of those in his owa country. He sought to promote and safeguard the interests of the people of Europe rather than those of his own coiintry In‘the Peace Conference of the Allies at Paris, and he thought that ‘the League of Nations would be the agency to solve the questions of war and peace’ for all mankind, but his country- men. did not agree with, but repudiated, the League of Nations proposition and Mr. Wilson’s course at the Peace Conference by an overwhelming vote at the polls.. This embittered his last days, of course, as he had broken down on a speaking trip in the midst of his second term, endeavoring to convert the people of the coun- try to his opinions, a breakdown from which he never recovered. He was Southern barn and educated and had most of the racial prejudices of the Southern whites, although he gave the Negro a squarer and larger deal in the home ‘and war service than any other President except President Grant. He was a very great man, internationgy in his ideas and stubbornly self-centered and: self- assértive, Caring little for the advice of others. NEW GOVERNOR-GENERAL OF THE UNION OF . SOUTH AFRICA HE Earl of Athlone, Queen Mary's brother, with Princess I Alice, Countess of Athlone, and their party, have departed from England for Pretoria, Union of South Africa, where the Earl will take over the duties of Governor-General, in succession to his cousin, Prince Arthur of Connaught, ‘The Earl is no stranger in the Union and shys he is sure of “the warm-hearted hospitality of the people of the Union.” We suppose this statement includes the poor Natives who will be taxed to pay the Earl an annual sti- pend of $50,000 per annum to do whatever Premier Jans Smuts wants him to do arid will have in addition to the salary, which is $45,000 more per annum than the services of the Earl are really worth, a semi-regal establishment at Pretoria, maintained at public expense. : ~ The nian who rales the Union of South Africa with a rod of stecl is Jans Christian Smuts. He has no possile respect for the Natives or their rights, whom he regards, as he does the Kast Indians, as being simply so many cconomic slaves of their white overlords. ‘The Earl of Athlone will have little to do’ but have a good time, draw his salary and enjoy the splendors of his vice-regal establish- ment at Pretoria.

Thomas Fortune ~ A great many” people agree with fhe late Senator™ John J. Ingalls of Kansas, who was as angular and waspish as ‘former Senator John Sharp Williams of Mississippi, that Opportunity only knocks once at every per- son's door, and if an engrance is denied passes on and returns no more. Charles Dickens ‘has given us a splendid character, in “The Pickwick Papers,” who lived by the rule of “waiting, for some- thing to turn up.” We all know “Wilkins Macawber” as well as we know Don Quixote’s “Sancho Ranza/” who was always making Opportunity .and getting into trouble. Shakespeare, the greatest mas- ter of them all, Said, “Some are born great; some achieve great- ness, and some have greatness thrust upon them.” Tam of the’opinion that it all depends. There can be made no hard and fast rule. One succeeds where another fails, on the same theory that what will cure one patient will kill another. Left free to decide for himself, no man allows Opportunity to knock in vain at his door, or treats it un- thankfully when it has entered in. But we are none of us free to do all of the ‘time the things we know to be best for us. Why is that? Ask Judas Iscariot. ‘Take the case of Riley Rogers, the Kansas Negro, who owns 2 truck farm of twelve acres only fat Lawrence, Kansas. He has So managed that he makes $6,000 a year out of it. He began ab- sorbing city lots and truck farming twenty-five years ago, making a specialty of cabbage, tomatoes and cucumbers, carly cabbage being the money getter. He had failed at other things and knew nothing about truck farm- ing, but he studied, and observed, and learned in producing and handling his truck. He studied the needs uf his customers. ‘To know liow té produce as well as market truck will make any in- dustrious and thrifty persow seli- sustaining. ‘Mr. Rogers has not only man- aged his little truck farm so that it brings him a neat income; he has ratsed four sois and two daughters and given them an education at the Kansas State University. A man like Riley. Rogers would be a valuable asset to any race or community. “But T imagine that his success was due almost entirely to the fact that he found out what he could do best and stuck to it until it became a -success. He sought the Opportunity, knocked at its door and it was opened to him, and when he got inside he stuck to it and made the most of at. In like manner the owner of a shoe blatk stand cai make a shee store of it after a while, if he will put. brains and faithful service in his business and. save the pennies until they have grown te many dollars. And they avi] grew! the dollars, if you keep on saving them There are thousands of Negroes coming North and going West, who know much about farming, who could do better by working as trick-harm hands and. even-| tually getting ahead enodgh to buy “a small plot and gradually adding to it, than by settling: in the large cities and depending on the uncertainties of city employ- ment.

NORTH AMERICANS ARE GETTING TOGETHER Cardinal Vivo's Visit to the South Americans Important—Splendid Resources of Those Countries Undeveloped AMERICANS AND BRITISH To the Editor of the Negro World: As special envoy, of His Holiness the Pope, and His Majesty, the present King of Spain, His Eminence Cardinal Benloch y Vivo has recently visited the principal Latin-American countries, carrying messages of love and fraternity to these Spanish-speaking peoples. For what purpose? For the purpose of invoking a fusion of spirit to the end that an eternal union of the Latin race might come about, and that this union be such as to make each group's aims and aspirations a fraternal oneness of the race. If such a union ever came about, and the hopes in that regard a realization, the imperialistic efforts of other peoples (especially those Protestant and warlike) may encounter unforset difficulties, at present indiscribable. There is at present a group experiencing tentaculous obstacles and unprecedented entanglements against the progress of civilization, and the tendency of this condition of affairs does not indicate anything near to perfect peace and stability of satisfaction to all the peoples of the world. Be that as it may, Latin-America offers great opportunities for rehabilitation in the same manner as the golden and crystal shores of the old Ethiopian regions on the continent of Africa. While it is true that a rush is on to invest millions of pieces of silver in the industrial potentialities that the lands and raw resources of the Latin-American countries, it is, nevertheless, conspicuous that the sentiment of the people of these lands is merely superficially tolerant. There are at times causes for some kind of complaint against movements tending to oppose the evolutionary development of their racial aspirations. When this opposition is not political it is either economic, social or something else. The experiences of Santo Domingo, Nicaragua, Halft, Cuba, Mexico and Panama are like frightful shadows, which do not seem to dissipate from the political clouds of the Latin peoples.

OPENING Under such circumstances it is hard to contain quarrels that the North American should be viewed with suspicion, as he is likely to force his ideas and customs against the susceptibility of these peoples on them. The English is more tolerated, but it is also held that he is cursing his diplomacy and most skillful in the dropcurving of rhetorical phrases that are high-sounding, by which his concessioners are always bound "as word of honor." And the words are insinuated here and there to the effect that the Anglo-Saxon is a more ambitious imperialist than he is a benevolent and self-sacrificing missionary. That this ought to be a matter for foresight, though and action to 400,000,000 Negroes of the world, should not be gainsaid. Europe is almost bankrupt. She lacks the necessary, raw materials and treasures to rehabilitate her material independency, her governing power in the present epoch of her civilization. Although she may be fortunate enough to find some diverse means of repair or temporary relief, yet the fact remains that the germs of suspicion, covetousness, grudge and hate so seem to have taken hold on the organisms of her economic, political and social existence, that while she may be able to continue her struggle to survive, we can tell positively at this time whether such germs will not continue their cruel work, forcing history to repeat itself in a depiction of Egypt's toter and Rome's fall, not to say of the disappearance of Greece's glory? Needless is it to point out at this juncture that Europe is not wholly of one religious sentiment. Each state is more concerned about its social and imperialistic glory above the other, based on a material prepotency, protected by powder and guns. It is these things. It appears, that may culminate in an utter and radical change never yet recorded of nations. Hence, peoples have begun to think in the spirit of race. And each race is seeking its own political, social and economic protection. Where is the Negro? God protect him should he be encountered between an aggregation of groups before he has so organized as to attract one or more of the groups to enter into some definite understanding with him. But, to the contrary, this is not improbable. Nature works in a mysterious way, and all peoples, according to the cycles of evolution, work in accordance with that spiritual force that impels the material turnings.

Most evidently, while the skills of the gods grind minerals and small, with surety and an unshaken faith, so it not obviously true that the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League has been put to severe tests and the Faith has remained undekken? For, if God be for us, who on earth can be against us? The unification of the Latin races is one of the most significant turning points of our earthly march of events. The unification of the Negro peoples of the world, 400,000,000 strong, is another aggregation. When these shall have come about, the talk about Anglo-Basian supremacy in power and overlordship on weaker peoples, fabricated by Lathrop Stoddard, will more than likely become a myth. Instead of a league for the subjugation of weaker peoples we will more be approaching the long-looked for Fatherhood of God and Brotherhood of Man, for each race having found its own Vine and Figtree. It will by unification develop only according to the Divine Force which impels it. No race thereof, could afford to pass the habitation of another without paying admiration and respect, and a deire to come about a definite understanding as to how the noonday sun should shine upon Man's Activities in harmony.

Newspapers to Be Treated As First Class Mail As a result of several months of investigation and study by experts of the Postoffice Department, Postmaster General New has issued the first delimite, concise and complete programs that has ever been put out by the department for the mailing, transaction and delivery of newspapers. This order is most important. It is far-reaching. It gives the same expedition to newspapers an is accorded to first class mail. The order is the result of painstaking effort on the part of the postoffice inspectors, under the direction of First Assistant Postmaster General Bartlett. Carefully worded and minute instructions have been issued to all employees engaged in handling the mails, so that there will be no possibility of misunderstanding the importance of getting newspapers to the reader with a minimum of delay. The essence of the order is that newspapers shall not be mixed with parcel post at any point in their dispatch from the publishers' offices until their delivery to the addresses. Papers shall be handled by themselves, and kept in constant transit, not being sent to railway terminals to be reworked. In other words, they are to be handled in the same manner as first class mall. An important feature of the order is that no publication shall be given any less efficient or less expeditious treatment than at present. That means that publications other than newspapers will not suffer one lota from this progressive innovation made by the Postoffice Department. This order means much to the American public. It is one of the most important and far reaching steps in post-office history. It is for the benefit of those who desire to have their newspapers placed before them at as early a moment as possible. This should keep both the city and rural population in closer and quicker touch with their several fields of activity. Wedded 17 Years, Husband Never Took Her Out A husband, who, in seventeen years of married life, had not taken her to the theatre or any other place of amusement and had not given her a present of any kind was described in a suit for separation filed in the Supreme Court by Mrs. Anna Hawthorne (wife) of 452 West 150th street, against William Hawthorne, a city fireman. Mrs. Hawthorne aver her husband became enraged because she spent $2,000 of her savings for furniture, linens and crockery for an apartment at 521 West 135th street, into which she insisted on moving from 601 First avenue. She said Hawthorne wanted to spend the money for an automobile and to continue to live in First avenue. Furthermore, he had recommended himself very highly to another party who had a job of about $1,200 in his own line. It was with very great regret that we had to say that his work was unsatisfactory. The moral of this is that, no matter what the cost, those who do the job ought to do it to the best of their ability and realize that the first thing is to give service, the next thing is to get the money. The man who puts getting money before giving service is like Mr. Jones apt to see the second Job. New Year's Greeting From Santo Domingo We, the officers and members of Consolado Chapter No. 53, beg to extend the right hand of brotherhood for the New Year to the various divisions, chapters and branches the world over, and bid them, stand first by our leader the Hon.

Let us get together for 1921, forget past differences and stand 100 per cent, back of the cause. ABRAMAM LAGADA. President Chapter No. 53, U.N. L.A. WASHINGTON, D. C. Jan. 28 Howard University School of Medicine was chosen for the first time this year (1977-74) as one of the colleges to co-operate with the Harmon Foundation in its practical experiment of lending money to students in the junior year or above on a strictly business basis. The ultimate objective of this test of student reliability in financial obligations is to prove to the investing world that properly selected student character is sound security. That the faith of the foundation is justified as far as the affiliated colleges are concerned is evidenced by the fact that already more than $1,000 has been returned to the division of student loans seven months in advance of the date on which the first installments were due to begin. This early response on the part of the student borrower has made it possible to grant an appropriation to the University of Montana to be used during the second semester of this year, thus extending the trial of the Harmon system of loans to another section of the country not already represented and bringing the number of affiliating colleges to forty-three during the present year. Students in the junior year or above working toward a degree in the liberal arts or one of the professions are eligible for loans not exceeding $250 in any one year, or $500 in all. Repayment is arranged on the installment basis, of $10 a month, due to begin one year after graduation. The interest is 6 per cent, but all students paying in full within one year after graduation ion receive a discount of 6 per cent, on the amount they actually borrow. To insure the fund against loss, a premium of 10 per cent is charged, and after the entire amount loaned in any one year has been repaid with interest at 6 per cent any premium remaining will be distributed among the borrowing students, or that year with interest at 6 per cent in proportion to the premium paid to them. It is the desire of the foundation to place the financing of higher education on such a secure business basis that any student who desires may obtain BISHOP I. E.

Fifth Floor, 35, 309 Fifth 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. An appeal must be taken to the highest courts of the land to further test justice; therefore, every Negro of loyalty and manhood is asked to subscribe to this fund. The fight for Africa's liberty is just begun; let us all help. Send in your subscription addressed to the Secretary, Marcus Garvey Release Committee, 56 West 135th Street, New York City, N. Y.

The personnel of the delegation was named and evoked great enthusiasm and satisfaction. The 1924 program of the association will be announced immediately on the return of the delegates from the motherland. All members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association are requested to be as conservative as possible in saving and preparing for the African repatriation boom of 1921-1925.

IMPORTANT NOTICE TO MEMBERS OF THE UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION Information has reached us that several unscrupulous persons have been offering stocks for sale to members of our Association in Bogus Steamship Companies to run to Africa and the West Indies, as also stock in other Corporations chiefly in the Western, Mid-Western and Southern States. Please be warned that the U. N. I. A. has no connection with such persons, and divisions and members are requested to have such apprehended if they attempt to offer stock for sale at any meetings of the Organization under the guise of having authority from the Parent Body. Two men from Chicago have been advertising themselves as Vice-Presidents of Divisions of the Association offering such stocks for sale, and a man in Florida. Hand them over to the police if they approach your Divisions. UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION U. N. I. A. Joins Nation Mourning Death of Wilson U. N. I. A. Joins Nation Mourning Death of Wilson (HON. G. E: CARTER'S ADDRESS The Hon. Dr. G. E. Carter, Mt. Vice- President of the New York Local, was the first speaker. He said: "This afternoon I chained to read the following expression in a news- paper:—The Bok Plan—and that is the peace plan will not end war, because it is political, whereas the real causes of modern war are economic. This was written by Lyton Simlars on the Sunday American, Mr. Simlars intered with a great deal of truth this statement. Any peace plan that is political in its nature cannot be about the effects that are desired by those who plan for peace. Every way that the world has ever seen had its real rise in the economic conditions of the people rather than in the political phase which it took on. "Let me call your attention to the revolutionary War to substantiate this position. We are told and we have been taught that the cause of the revolutionary War was taxation without representation, which is a beautiful political phase, but the real cause of the revolutionary War was not in that political statement but in an economic condition that arises in Europe and at the same time had its counter part in America.

The speaker next illustrated his point from the Civil War, showing that the real cause lies in the rivalry and jealousy between the manufacturers of the North and the cotton growers of the South. The recent great war, he next showed, sprang from the same source, economic rivalry between Germany and France in particular, the killing of a man, high in authority, by he rode through the streets of a small European country, furnishing the political excuse. Preparedness "That is where the real value of our honorable leader, Macas Garvey, comes in," concluded the speaker, "He is dreaming, he is living one hundred years ahead of his day and generation. He is telling you in plain words that when the struggle for meat and bread takes place between two groups, rest assured there is something doing. And therefore if you are found wanting when the next world war comes—and it is sure to come—you will blame yourself and nobody will be blamed but you. With the continued inflow of Europeans into this country the struggle for meat and bread will become keener in America, and Negroes who are occupying positions, dark as the picture may seem will be forced out of their positions, and the economic condition will be of such a nature that you will die because you have not the necessary means of supply for the things that life demands." "Like the warning, and you have a voice, who are interested in the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association surely you must know that the duty devotes you to put forth a many and womanly effort to be prepared for the next conflict which is to come." HON. THOMAS ANDERSON'S AD- DRESS The Rt Hon. Thomas W Anderson, Minister of Labor and Industry, was the next speaker. The previous speaker, he said, had stolen, some of his thunder, but he hoped to find a little of his own. The Universal Negro Improvement Association was making strikes as never before. The time had come when it was not only a privilege, but an honor to be a member of the association. One would not have to wait long to see, because the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association was being advanced as Send me the wonderful Joyzone Medicine; also the fine book.

So it was with the movement. The real work was being quietly done, and when it showed itself it would startle not only the members but the world. (Appearance.) The Reward of Sincerity "Sincerity and insincerity," he continued, "play important parts in the success of men or movements. An insincer man cannot do anything, and an insincer movement cannot accomplish anything. A insincer man can do many great things, and a sincerity movement can accomplish great things. Insincer men could found kingdoms, such as were founded by Nimrod, Charlemagne, Constantine the Great, Insincer men can move rattles and kings such as were moved by Napoleon, Hannibal and other great men. Insincer men can found great movements, such as Christ, Mohammed, Martin Luther, Marcus Garevey, (Applause). Insincer men cannot help being insincer. Tell him to stop talking about what he believes in, that which is his very sole you might as well try to stop the moon from rising, the sun from shining, for it is to him life, his very means of existence. Christianity succeeded because it was founded by a sincer man, and because the movement was based upon truth. Protestantism succeeded because Martin Luther was intensely sincer. Mohammedanism was trumped because Mohammed was truly a sincer man. The Universal Negro Improvement Association is triumphing because its membership is sincer, but most of all because the leader himself, the founder, is sincer." (Alphante). Proceeding, Mr. Anderson said it was strange but true that men accepted worse gender than they accepted truth; that men loved darkness for better SPECIAL To All Presidents of Division Improvement Association In view of the fact that many people being sent out by the Universal Negro no credentials, take warning that In the future "no person or person in their possession proper credentials" Secretary-General of the Association recognized.

Newspapers would be a failure if they were not filled with scandal and advertisements. Our Sunday School' books were at insult to human intelligence. If we engaged our guests in constructive conversation, our parlers would be empty. If the Universal Negro Improvement Association depended solely upon the many truths that it advanced for its success, it would have failed long ago. The speaker ended with an appeal to his hearers to seek after the truth and that which was worth, while. No movement could long endure that was not founded upon truth, for that is the only sure foundation. No man or woman could possibly succeed for long, the guiding motives of whose lives were not those of truth and sincerity.

To open the Jews’ eyes Paul had to go by way of, Nero's chopping block, “after he had stoo@ before Kings and Judges plead- ing manfully his cause.

The meeting was brought to a close with the singing of the Ethiopian national anthem. At 7.05 p. m. the regular mass meeting was called to order. Every one returned to hear the president of Moron Division. The children who were not privileged to do their part in the afternoon service had the chance to do so at the mass meeting. The meeting opened again by the singing of the opening ode, followed by prayer. The program was as follows: Song. "Our Home in Africa," choir; recitation, Master R. Bryan; solo, Mrs. K. Hutchinson; recitation, "Africa," Miss Winnie Rold; solo, "Lord, God," Mr. Dawes; recitation, "My Home," Miss Jessima Baxter; solo, Mrs. Knapp; recitation, Miss May Osborne; solo, Miss Madeim; address, Mr. A.

Martin, of Florida, gave a short address and the meeting ended with the Benediction and the anthem of Ethiopia. NORTH BATON ROUGE, LA North Batton Rouge held a big meeting Wednesday night, January 16, at the new colored school. The meeting opened with the singing of "From Greenland's Rey Mountains," followed by prayer. A few musical selections were then rendered. Special mention must be made, however, of the song rendered by the choir and entitled, "Garvey, Garvey, Our Race Has Just Begun." The president, Rev. Mr. Lunda, delivered a masterly address, which drew the applause of the members and friends assembled. The next speaker was the commissioner of the state, Hon. S. V. Robinson, who gave a lucid explanation of the aims and objects of the association. This talk was listened to with rapt attention by the audience, who had caught the spirit of the evening, especially when he said that Africa must be redeemed at any cost. Brother J. Marshall then followed with a reading from a clipping taken from the "Southern Agriculturist." The article dealt chiefly with the remarks of a North Carolina farmer, Mr. J. H. Downing, of Bladen county, who, speaking on Negro education, said: "Suppose you educate the Negroes equally with the whites, what would be the result? Would they seek field labor or promotion? Why not get busy and select a territory for the colored people, either in Africa or somewhere else, and let them have their own government and schools. It was as great a sin for them to be placed here in 1819 as it was for Adam and Eve to take the forbidden truth." This shows the trend of thought of the majority of bohemian white men, who know that in these United States the Negro must always occupy an interior stock. The few white and enslaved pollinators that feel the Negro into fellowship if he whispers here he will get freed and slaves to him; more than any other set of --- THE BOOK THAT EVERYBODY IS READING Now Off the Press ORDER NOW TO SECURE YOUR COPY "PHILOSOPHY AND OPINIONS OF MARCUS GARVEY" EDITED BY AMY JACQUES-GARVEY First Edition Published by THE UNIVERSAL PUBLISHING HOUSE TABLE OF CONTENTS CHAPTER I.

He assured them that all money collected was used only for the purpose for which it was collected, and encouraged them to go on in spite of all opposition, showing to the enemies all the time a united front. The next item on the program was a duet by the Misses Evans. So well did they acquire themselves that the audience broke out into prolonged cheers and applause at the conclusion of the song. This was followed by an address by Mr. McClarty, second viose-president, who spoke on "Misunderstanding." His speech was eloquent and full of inspiration. An excellent sole by Mr. Davidson, a member of the choir, was followed by an anthem by the choir. Major Evans gave a very timely talk, which was well received by the audience. Several other addresses and musical items formed part of the program. The meeting was dismissed by the chaplain with the pronouncing of the benediction and the singing of the Ethiopian national anthem. I am writing you this to inform you that some of our greatest race enemies are our Negro-ministers. I have been a church worker for a great many years and have helped to increase the fund and membership of many a church. Since I have been in Alliance I have joined the Second Baptist Church, of which the Rev. D. D. Dantley is pastor. Being an ardent supporter of the alms and objects of the association, I came to the conclusion that I could not and would not support any church or pastor who did not declare for the U.S. N. I. A. and I ceased to attend the church. Naturally the members wanted to know why I had stopped supporting the church. I told them that I refused to sit and listen to any person who did not stand up for the association. The deacon then asked me if I would repeat that statement before the parson. I told him yes. I was then called before the church board, and asked if I had made the statements attributed to me by the deacon. I told them I had, and further, that the minister was sitting on the face, and this was no time for Negroes to sit on the fence. "The reverend gentleman said that he was neither for or against the movement and if the white people did not want me to have a government we could not get it. I write this to let my fellow members know that it is only by standing up boldly for the truth and not being afraid of consequences that we will ever get anywhere. We must be ever on our guard against those gentlemen who wear their collars backward and lead the people the same way. WALTER MITCHELL - There are more Negro chauffeurs in Pennsylvania' than in any other State. New York ranks in second place, followed by Virginia, Georgia, the District of Columbia and Maryland. We had the privilege of having with us again Capt. H. L. Gaines, who presided at the First A. M. E. Church, Twentyth and Massachusetts streets, on January 31. The beautifully constructed edition, though quite spacious could not afford accommodation for the large, enthusiastic audience that crowded in to hear the message that the Captains had to convey. His address centered around the life of Jesus, and he chose many incidents from the life of this Divine Character that could be easily compared with the things that have occurred in the life of our own leader, the Hon. Marcus Garvey. The most striking of these comparisons as brought out by Capt. Gaines in a most emphatic manner is this: "Christ died and was buried, but in three days he arose from the grave, and we have been taught to follow Him. We find dthat those who follow in His footsteps have conquered in the end. Marquis Garvey was confined to the Tombe prison, but in three months was released. Now we Negroes are advised to follow him." During this inspiring sermon Negroes from every direction in the audience flocked to the secretary to enroll in this mighty organization. Several individuals who were financially unable to become members spoke to Captain Gaines after the meeting and assured him that they would affiliate themselves, with the organization. There were also a number of persons who had not acquainted themselves with the aims and objects of the Universal Negro Improvement Association who after listening to the inspiring sermon of the Captain, could hold themselves aloof from us no longer. Captain Gaines is doing a great work in this section of the country, and has caused an enormous increase in membership since he has been laboring so zealously in these parts. He has readjusted matters in the Gary Division, which has given it new life and stability. MONTREAL, CANADA Montreal division held a very interesting meeting last Sunday. The principal speaker of the evening was Mr. Henril, who was introduced to the audience by Mr. Alfred Potter, Mr. Henril gave a very interesting discourse on his experience as a lumberjack in Northern Canada. The speaker dealt largely with the economic problems in Canada and the failure of the church to square their actions with their teachings. He advocated giving every child a university education, no matter how poor the parents might be, and showed that the government spent more money to kill one enemy than to train a useful citizen. Mr. Henril's address was received with prolonged cheers at the conclusion, and Mr. Reddie, president of the Literary Club, moved a vote of thanks to the speaker. A few remarks were made by Mrs. Dechfield. The orchestral selections were of a high order and were well received by the audience. CHARLES ESTE.

League of Nation Plans Loan to Hungary GENEVA—The League of Nations plans a loan of approximately $50,000,000 to Hungary to rehabilitate the country, it has been learned. The Boston division sustained a great loss in the death of Mr. Granville Darrell, who was an ardent supporter and member of the U. N. L. A. and the division band. An impressive legal service, which was largely attended by the members of the Odd Followers, and U. N. L. A., was held in Boston before the body was sent to Burma, his native land. Mr. England Wilson, like a true brother and race man, accompanied Mr. Darrell to render any assistance to the perceived widow which might have been necessary. They were met at the station by James O'Mealy, who went to see if there was anything he could do to help them, as it is at just such periods that one has a chance to practice that charity which is one of the foundation stones of our association. Mrs. Darrell left next morning with the body of her husband for Barmuda. On-Sunday, the 20th, the remains of Brother Darrell was committed to the grave. The U. N. I. A. was well represented by the president, first vicepresident, general secretary, members of the honorary advisory board and a large number of members. Mr. Darrell was buried with full U. N. I. A. honors. Three hands up in the procession along with the members of his lodge. The U. N. I. A. takes this opportunity of extending its sincere condolence to the wife and relatives of the departed brother.

Gran Danio que Cama a la Raza Esta Clase de Información—Venden Cualquier Clase de Historia Sin Perocuparies el Perjulcio que Ocación—El Pueblo Blanco Llegará a Una Sola Conclusión Luego de Haber Dado Lectura a Tales Artículos Algunos de los que ep nuestra raza se califican de intellectuales, distinción asumida por ellos sin otro mérito que el de la vanidad, se han venido ocupando ultimamente en escribir artículos de información sobre nuestra raza en revistas y periódicos de blancos, publicados en America y en otras partes, los cuales perjudican guandemente a los intereses generales de la raza. Muchos de ellos son vendidos a buen precio por el hecho de contener la información que dichas revistas y que dichos periódicos desean. Un artículo es generalmente aceptado no por la verdad de los hechos que exponga, sino por el valor de propaganda para la publicación que lo paga. Si un periódico patrocina una propaganda inimica a los intereses de nuestra raza, no ha de comprar información que de un modo q de otro nos sea favorable; pagará por artículos que expongan todas nuestra debilidades y con la mayor exageración, satisfaciendo de ese modo el deseo de los interesados. Como una indicación del daño que estos señores escritores ocasionan a la raza, inconcientemente sin duda, hacemos extracto de un artículo publicado en un periódico de blancos de esta localidad, en referencia al éxito obtenido por el presidente de una de nuestros instituciones comerciales, haciéndole aparecer como el individuo mas afortunado de nuestro elemento-en este lado del atlántico. El escritor en cuestión manifiesta que este inicio su corporación solamente diez años ha, que su salario actual es de muchos milies, de pesos y que su capital asciende a varios millones, creyendo habler puesto por las nubes; pero el blanco ha de conceptuarle como un pobre hombre, identificado con una raza a la cual se le tiene muy poca consideración y menor respeto. De que modo y en tan corto tiempo fue adquirida esa fortuna, será el enigma que la masa conciente intentar descifrar, luego de haber leido el artículo en cuestión. El gran error de la mayor parte de nuestras instituciones comerciales esfriba en que sus directores generalmente intentan hacerse ricos de la noche al dia, siendo ello la causa principal de la bancarrota. Regularmente cuando alguien de nuestro elemento termina sus estudios, entra en al campo comercial con el unico propósito de enriquecerse a costas de sus clientes; cuando las acciones de tal ó cual corporación son vendidas, se advierte generalmente que de la acumulación del capital se benefician solamente una ó dos personas, lo cual crea sospecha y desconfianza. A tal conclusión nos lleva, no la intención del escritor sino la esencia del artículo a que hacemos referencia. A nuestro mejor modo de entender nuestra raza carece de instituciones comerciales en las cuales, tanto el que invierte como el que administra disfruten por igual de los beneficios obtenidos. Es algo dificultoso hallar honestidad en las instituciones comerciales de nuestro elemento, por la idea errónea de sus empleados; nuestra experiencia nos enseña que el promedio general del empleado intenta obtener el mayor beneficio a costas del que le emplea. Tal actitud hemos de combatir toda vez se presente la oportunidad y salgan a la luz artículos que tiendan a patrocinar tal idea. La raza necesita de sus hijos con entereza de caracter; directores industriales y comerciales que con gran tactica y mayor celo, velen por los intereses generales de la raza, recibiendo por consiguiente la parte del benefico que a ellos corresponde. Serfa preferible decir de un hombre que él ha constituido una gran corporación comercial 6 industrial, en la cual ha procurado empleo a millones de su raza, quienes con buena recompensa y mejor tratamiento, se sientan gente entre la gente, desenvolvidose en un ambiente de paz y de prosperidad, a decir que cese mismo_individuo en un corto periodo de tiempo se ha enriquesido a costa tal vez de la ignorancia de sus semejantes. Bishop Ross in Bad Odor by His Conduct From the Baltimore Afro-American Bishop L. N. Ross, of the Arkansas Diocese, A. M. E. Church, may have been justified in keeping silent when the Ku Kux Klan marched into his Central Arkansas Conference the other day with a 650 contribution for the church, but he will have a hard time proving it. He has probably gained the estimation of the Klan. He will probably be able to travel back to his Washington home in a Pullman without a coat of tar and feathers or any of the other inconveniences which the masked and lawless night riders know how to inflict upon the innocent, but he has lost cause forever in the middle of true Americans, who speak out through the Heavens fall. The Negro church in the South needs its moral cowards. Its pastors and clients must be heroes and martyrs. They are good of the church. Bishop Hill should be transferred to some other system where courage at the heart of personal safety is not an inherent obligation. The Race Needs Strong Unhampered Newspapers From The Washington Tribune Not since freedom has the race been in such dirs need of a progressive, consistent and militant press as it now finds itself. Coming into the realization of the benefits, possibilities and power of a fully aroused racial consciousness, a progressive press is essential for the dissemination of courageous, instructive and necessary information and opinions. There is a growing demand for the courageous and upstanding racial newspapers, with a definite policy observed in every issue of the paper. So many Negro editors have been "honor" hungry to the extent that they felt it was more "honorable" to seek a peanut government job from a hypocritical Republican administration than to outline a definite, militant policy for the benefit of the race. When personal aggrandisement supplicates racial betrayment, it becomes noticeable at once by the changed policy of the paper. "And this shall be a sign unto you." A modern new brick business stock, erected by George Andrews, a progo of Bella, Texne, provides stores, shops and offices for business men of his group. Las negociaciones del gobierno de Obregon para adquirir buques de guerra en este país se afirma que han sido suspendidas por la actitud adoptada por nuestro Departamento de Estado. Anteriormente la a conferencia de Washington, el departamento de Marina vendió algunos destroyers y canoneros que habían sido desmantelados, pero que podían ser restaurados y puestos en servicio para empleo por el gobierno federal mielicano. Pertenecientes a firmas privadas, estos buques podrían ahora, ser cedidos sin violación de la ley internacional. El embargo de armas contra los insurgentes se aplicaría, si trataran de adquirir cualquiera de los antiguos barcos de guerra. Nuestro gobierno no puede impedir las ventas al gobierno mejicano reconocido y no se opondría a ellas a no ser por el principio establecido por el tratada naval de Washington: de que las naciones que lo firmaron no deberan desprenderse de buques de guerrera para que entren a formar parte de la armada de otro país. Es opinión de nuestro gobierno que una venta a Méjico de buques de guerra comprador por ciudadanos americanos antes de la aprobación del tratado de Washington, seria contraria al espiritu de dicho tratado. Se ha llevado al gobierno de Obregón la intimación de que nuestro gobierno no veria con aprobación la acquisición de buques de guerra americanos descartados, aun cuando la legalidad de la operation no pudiera ser discutida. Parece haber la tendencia entre los proprietarios de esos buques a ceder a los deseos expresados por Washington. Una firma de Filadelfia que trafica en buques descartados se afirma que rehusa a entrar en tratos con los agentes del gobierno de Obregón que han llegado a aquella ciudad acompañados de un equipo completo de oficiales para triparular uno de los destroyers. De la ciudad de Méjico llega el informe de que están en camino de los Estados Unidos unidades navales para conducir los destroyers reeditamente comprador. Puede indicarse para reforzar las objeciones de nuestro gobierno que el primer acto de los insurgentes al saber que el gobierno mejicano habia obtenido el nucleo de una flota seria de nuevo colocar en los puertos que dominan las minas que acaban de retirar y restablecer su bloque de papel. No es necesario reflexionar sobre las consecuencias probables. Una acción de violencia por parte de los Estados Unidos podria hacerse necesaria para proteger nuestros biques y nuestros nacionales. -N, Y. Times. Contubernio en el Parlamento Nipón La dicta nipona se disolvio con esceas sin precedentes, el primer ministro Kiyoura dando golpes y patadas al ministro de ferrocarriles y lanzándole im tinterazo antes de la disolución durante un alboroto en que se oan protesta gritos, puños alzados e interjecciones japoneses. Los miembros del gabinete huyeron por tener por sus vidas inmediatamente después que el primer ministro Itabia recurrido al edicto imperial ordenando la disolución del parlamento. Precipitadamente se llamaron las tropas al local para reforzar a los policías que estaban todo el dia de guardia en el edificio. Antes de las escenas dramaticas en la dieta, uno de sus miembros habia sido arrestado en el recinto de la camara y otro habia escapedo en un automovil. Los agitadores desfilaron por las-calles aucuando al primer ministro Kivoura, llamandoolo autocrata y pidiendo un yoto de censura. Por tenores de violencia, al dissolverse el parlamento, los policías formaron un cordón en las puertas del edificio para poner a salvo a los miembros de la dieta. A pesar de los consejes de sus amigos, el primer ministro se ha negado a presentar su renuncia. Mientras el ministro de ferrocarriles Konatsu, estaba leyendo su discurso, se lo quitaron de la mano violentemente. El tren en que iba Yukio Ozaki, que iba a presentar la moción de censura para el ministerio, fué descarrilado cerca de Nagoya nientras iba en compañía de Takahashi e Iukai, todos tres dirigentes de la oposición, con dirección a Osaka a pronunciar un discuro contra el gobierno. Ninguno sufrió daño y sus partíarios alegan que fueron los enemigos los autores del atentado. La ovación que recibieron en Ozaka fué todo lo más estrendosa posible a causa del incidente. Horas después del tumufo era disuéito el parlamento por decreto imperial. La agitación aumenta en las calles y se crece que los muebros de la oposición distribuyen panfletos a las muchedumbres. Con la haya, de la invigración cada día más estrictas y por lo tanto cada día más difícil entra en este país, donde paras que se encuentran los dólares por el estado tan grande es el número de individuos que cada día provécta viaje a este país se ha establecido otro nuevo ramo de comercio de contrabandistas. Esta organización, que ya está tan bien organizada cono la de los licitorias, ha causado gran consternación en el gobierno, según declaraciones del secretario de trabajo. La situación es tal, dijo el que necesaria la pronta actuación del congreso sobre el asunto. El contratando de extranjeros en este país es tal vez una fuente de riqueza tan productiva o más para los que dedican a ello, que la fuente innensa de que disfrutan los contratandistas de licores. Con la gran extensión de costas que estan mal vigiladas y la gran extensión de -las fronteras sin oficiales suficientes para guardarlas y el departamento de imigración sin las facilidades necesarias -para poder remediar estos daños, los contratandistas encuentran poco trabajo en llevar a cabo sus planes. El secretario ha recibido información de buena fuente, asegurandole que existen hoy dia numerosas organizaciones en el extranjeros y en casa, que sacan a los trabajadores de sus casas en Europa, les consiguen un pasaporte, falsificado, por supuesto, les compran el pasaje en cualquiera de las compañías de vapores y hacen las diligencias necesarias para traer a estos individuos a Cuba, a Méjico o al Canada y luego los pasan los Estados Unidos por varios pasajes desconocidos a las autoridades de este país y todo por una cierta caridad de dinero, cuya cantidad pagan todos ellos de muy buena gana, ilusionados por los enormes ganancias que se les prometen en este país a los pocos días de llegar. El señor secretario anadio: No debe de entenderse que no se hacen todos los esfuerzos que estan al alcance de las autoridades respectivas para contener este concerto ilegal. El departamento de inmigración ha hecho todos los esfuerzos posibles y empleado todos los medios de que puede disponer para hallar y deportar a todos aquellos que por medios ificitos han entrado en este país son muchos los casos que se han dado de individuos que han sido deportados y en otros muchos casos se la seguido causa criminal contra los responsables de la entrada de esos individuos. Infundiendo Patriotismo En la ciudad de Santiago de los Caballeros, República Dominicana, se la constituyó una hermandad juvenil nacional con el objeto, de formar una federación de gobiernos adscritas al credo nacionalista. Esta tínea el propósito de unir organizar, disciplinar e instruir a todos los niños de la república dominicana en el verdadero patriotismo e inculcarles amor y veneración a su baudera. El emblema de la hermandad, que deberá llevan cada socio, es el escudo dominicano. Todo niño que ingrese a la hermandad debe prometer ante el escudo, símbolo de la federación, ampliar fílemente sus reglamentos y mantener la armonía entre sus higg manos. Se breve un libro de registro con el nombre y demas señales del ingresante. Nueve o más niños en cualquier parte de la república podrán constituer una agencia de la hermandad nacional. Cuando la organización se haya extendido en todo el país, se conviccara por acuerdo de siete agrupaciones comunales un congreso nacional de la hermandad juvenil nacionalista que se reunirá donde se juzgueoeniente. La directiva de cada hermandad consta de un hermano mayor, un hermano segundo, un secretario general, un secretario de actas, un tesorero y un cuatro hermanos memores. Estos se renoyarán cada seis meses. Esta hermandad no está de acuerdo con los pactos de sus hermanos adultos y se comprometen a hacer todo lo que esté a su alcance de modo que en las manifestaciones de los partidos que están echando a perder la república, ninguno de sus amiguitos se mezcle a dar vivas a los que están malogrando su porvenir. La idea ha sido sugerida, naturalmente, por personas adultas que no conugan, con los planes de liberación firmado por los políticos. El Periódico Por Correo Como resultado de las cuidadosas investigaciones y estudios hechos por expertos empleados del departamento de Correos de los Estados Unidos, Mr. New, postmaster general, ha dado a conocer un programa completo con ordenes concreta para la transmisión y entrega de los periodicos por correo. De acuerdo con las reciencias dis- periódicos en la misma misma de periódicos. En la consecuencia de que a la inerción de al primer su clase.

De acuerdo con esta reglamentación los periódicos no deberán de ser mezclados con los paquetes postales, y su envío será immediato una vez que lleguen desde las casas editoras. De acuerdo con dichas informaciones, se asegura que ninguna publicación, como consecuencia de esta pedida, sufirra deficiencia alguna en el servicio de correo. Leer Sin Comprender No es posible pedir a toda clase de individuos un gesto de comprensión y de desinteres. No todos pueden juzgar sevenmente la obra del escritor. Pero este es un ideal al que debemos encaminar nuestros esfuerzos. Muchas veces, en nuestras lecturas, hemos tropezado.con libros respecto de los cuales teniamos la apresión de que no nos iban a placer. Sin embargo, hemos comenzado a leerlos, los hemos leido integrante, hemos procurado entrar dentro de ellos, compenieramos con el espíritu del autor, comprenuer. Para nosotros, uno de los efectos no digamos de la cultura, sino de la civilización, es este movimiento de atención y de reflexion que un hombre puede tener ante otro hombre o una obra antagonicos suyos. Nos dejamos llevar de la pasión ni de la superstición. Si la obra ha sido hecha buena y esergia con alteza de miras, sin ofensa, con claridad y sobre tema general que no biere individualmente, tengamos la nobleza y la lealidad de declarar, aunque la obra ha sido ilexada a cabo por nuestro adversario. Que hay por encima de la verdad? Nada. La verdad es sobre todo. Nuestro símbolo; un loimbre que, como en un cuadro de Holbein, estaria inclinado atentamente sobre un libro con un gusto de comprensión. Comprender es el camino del desinteré de la verdad. Reclamando Un grupo de jefes, indios de la triloba de Cheyenne, encabezados por el jefe Bearman, se la dirigido al Washington para recitar ante el presidente Corbidge una cantidad de dinero que dicen que les debe el gobierno de los Estados Unidos.

L__nerst etn pen, | | Spon Bee ce wee tom Une analyse sommaire démontrée que la grande guerre avec ses incalculables conséquences a laissée l'Europe dans un chaos des plus complexe. La dégringolade accentue du franc—consequence de la crise ministérielle—a jetté la France dans un-emoi palpitant. et dont le point culminant a été le discours de M. Poincaré, proposant comme paliatif au peuple déjà aux abois, une nouvelle taxe de 20%. D'après je journal "The New Republic," cette situation exasperée de la politique européenne a coqué du premier ministre français la confession que "la France n'est pas un pays de 40,000,000, mais de 100,000,000 de peule." "Now, M. Poincare, discussing the position in Europe, remarks that France is no longer a country of 40,000,000, but of 100,000,000 people. The other 60,000,000 are natives, mostly Africans," etc. Les autres 60.000.000 sont des indigences, pour la plus part des Africains. "The New Republic" interprète le discourse de M. Poincaré comme une conclusion que, dans la prochaine guerre, quelque soit l'ennemi contre lequel la France aura à combattre, que ce soit l'Allemagne, ou tout autre ennemi— cet adversaire trouvère qu'il aura à guerver non point contre un contingent de 40.000.000, mais les ennies de la France auront à faire face à 60.000.000 de conscrits, indigences de l'Indo-Chine, de Madagascar, Pays des Somalïs l'Algérie, la Tunisie, le Maroc et les provinces de Sénégale, la Côte d'Or, le Dahoney, et le Congo. Afin de compler cette liste, ajoute "The New Republic," ajoutons les nouvelles possessions de Togoland dont la France est mandataire. L'écrivain de "France et Son Empire Noir" a des apprehensions graves pour sa Race. Il a certaines craintes qu'au cas d'une guerre, les hordes noires—"black tribes"—de, la France; c.a.d. 60.000.000 auront à liver battaille sur le sol européen contre les troupes blanches. Il redoute davantage les conséquences néfastes pouvant resulter de ce melange de noir et blanc. Considère comme regain de guerre, ce phénomène est la decision de la France de préparer des troupes qui se trouve en Afrique equatoriale et occidentale savoir dans les possessions français situées dans les parages de la rivière de Sénégalaise, la rivière Niger, et celle du Congo. Le cochernar de M. Crozier c'est de voir que la France n'a pas le "color-bar"—le préjuger de color. Il ne saurait autrement. La France comporte la France continentale et la France d'autre mer. Elle ne pourra donc sous peine de "lese-patrie" avoir le préjuger de coleur, d'autant plus qu'en dernière analyse la Mère-Patrie pour la protection de son empile compte fortement sur la "France Nouire"—consultons nos souvenirs de la guerre. Le Général Mangin—le père de la France Noire—possède la nomenclature des civilisations. Il est bien au courant que la civilisation Egyptienne—la plus grandiosse et la plus ancienne du monde—n'a pas été la création de la Race blanche, le "Père de la France Noire" est trop imbu de la vérité pour ignorer que 3.000 ans avant Jesus Christ une civilisation Négre, la civilisation de Cartage rivallait avec la civilisation de Renaud pour la supremacie maritime et une politique du monde, au point que Cato desait "DELENDA EST CARTHAGO". D'après le même journal, le Géneral Maughn a déclaré que "Nons, les hommes blancs, nous ne sommes pas les premiers representants de la colonisation, et il se pourra bien être moyenne pas les derniers." Il a indiqué que vaste zone dont la colonie fendre de l'Absinie au Nord de Klaype au Maroc, de Métis à Monts, il est de toute définissons que les valeurs des genres sont qu'après l'application de la méthode qui va placer Fahrenheit qu'il est appelé d'une civilisation d'un autre genre humain civilisation". By va donc de la glorie de la France de toujours maîniste en qui cet écrit sur un basilaire tricolore — "LIBERTÉ, EGALITÉ, FRATERNITÉ". LE PRESIDENT WILSON Au moment de mettre sous presse, nous avons appris la mort de M. Woodrow Milson_ex-President des Etats Unis. Nous nous associons au deuil de la Nation, et offrons à la famille explorer, nos condoléances des plus vives à l'occasion de la disparition de ce GRAND AMERCAIN, dont les actes publics sont incorporés dans les annales de l'histoire contemporaine. Le Cabinet Anglais La politique anglaise vient de subir une transformation mervelleuse. Le "Labor Party" a enfin de compte eu gain de cause. Il est averé que c'est une victorie signaleuse pour la dénocrache anglaise et surtout pour le parti travailleur. Cette victoire est le resultat d'une situation politique qui existait déjà dans le Royaume uni même avant le guerre, mais dont la manifestation a cause des difficultées diverses, était comprimée et réservée pour l'heure actuelle. Nous sommes à l'époque où le monde politique doit inevitably changer son programme. Le régime exclusif d'un groupe choisi, d'une dynastie, n'a plus sa raison d'être. Les gouvernements autocrates ont, par la force des circonstances, et à l'instar du peuple anglais de l'époque de King, John, 1215; signes forcement chacun son Magna Charta, tenoin la Chine imperiale, la Empire Ottoman et les autres puissances européennes. C'est donc a ce grand et noble titre pandémique que nous enregistrons ce fait accompli de la democratie anglaise. En Europe à l'heure actuelle comme aux États Unis, la volonté du peuple est suprême. Avec Mr. James Ramsay Macdonald connie Premier de l'Angleterre, le peuple est assuré que le ciel a entendu ses dolleances at par l'intermédiaire du nouveau cabinet Macdonald, les masses ne seront plus les victimes d'un système inique et caduc. Avant la formation du cabinet Macdonald il était question de nommer des lords appartenant au Labour Party. La diffusé est que l'acceptation de titres nobiliaires est contraire aux principes du "Labour Party," qui les considère comme antidemocratiques. Mais il se purrait que, comme les liberaires il—le Labour Party—se servit de l'institution des lords, tant qu'elle suviste, comme d'un moyen de gouvernement. Nous voyons sans peine que le nouveau cabinet des heures sombres à vivre, et des ennies puissants à vainire. Comme Constantin le Grand, nous espérons que le Premier Macdonald aura son "In Hoe Signo Vines". Preparation Pour L'Oeuyre de la Colonisation Africaine Il est de notre devoir de préparer l'esprits du peuple pour les changements que nous envisageons pour le bonheur de la Race. 'Conformement à ce devoir, nous annonçons à la Race en general que l'an 1924 verra la consolidation de nos efforts parmi notre peuple pour le développement et la redemption de notre pays —L'Arrique. L'Attraction du Monde, C'est l'Afrique Tout homme pensant comprendra sans peine que l'Afrique est l'attraction du monde entier. Ses resources minerales et agricoles sont exploitées par les Races agressives et les nations colonisatrices du monde. C'est pour cette raison que l'Europe -la France, l'Italie, le Portugal et la Belgique—s'efforce chacun, à consolider son contrôle et à sentendre davantage. L'esprit aventurier de l'Europe pousse son peuple vers l'Afrique. C'est cette entrée précipitée en Afrique qui effraie l'Association Universelle pour l'Avancement de la Race Négre au point que nous conseillons à notre peuple de converger toutes ses forces et ses sentiments épars, vets l'Afrique et sa redemption. Si, comme Race, nous ne convergeons pas nos forces sur un point determine, c.a.d la redemption de l'Afrique et l'exploitation de se vastes resources, ce mécontent, dans une période de vingt-cinq ans deviendra un champ lucratif pour les européens, et où, avec autant de difficulté, le Négre trouvera à peine une petite existence, comme du resiste, il le fait actuellement en Amérique et en Europe. La lutte incessante du Nouveau Négre c'est d'empêcher l'Europeen de faire d l'Afrique son nouveau habitacle. Déja l'Europe, l'Afrique et l'Australie sont des pays monopolisés par les Européens La chose que desirons ardeniment, c'est de voir une grande et puissante RÉPUBLIQUE AFRICAINE où les Négres auront l'opportunité et le privilege de s'élever au niveau de l'importe civilisation, comme a fait la Race blanche en Amérique, en Europe et en Australie. Nous demandons la co-opération toute entière des peuples de Race Négre dissiminés par tout dans le monde pour l'exécution du programme de l'Association Universelle pour l'Avancement de la Race Négre. Faisons de bon gré tout ce qui est humainment possible afin de developer industrielllement et commercialement les ressources des Nations essentiellement Négres, en fortifiant leurs mains par notre intelligence occidentale et en les appuyant dans le développement de leurs programmes politiques. Le Respect des Autres Races Nous devons nous placer au point où il sera impossible aux autres Races de ne pas nous respecter comme peuple. Nous voulons stimuler les membres de la Race, tant, en Amérique que dans les Antilles a la realisation de la vérité que l'Afrique donne presentement l'occasion la plus lucrative pour l'Ocuvre de la colonisation, et comme le blanc a pendant des siecles, toujours emigré de l'Europe dans le but de coloniser et de peuple l'Amerique et le Canada, de la même façon les Négres dans les Antilles doivent tourner leurs regards vers la mère-patrière dans le but de coloniser à notre tour. Notre Education Occidentale Nous devons emporter avec nous de l'Ocident notre éducation et nourtre culture et tout ce que nous avons appris comme bénéfice de nôtre contact de trois siècles avec la civilisation occidentale. L'Afrique a besoin des ingénieurs, des artisans, des scientistes de toute espèce. Elle a aussi besoin des médecins des instructeurs des architectes et autres. Les Etats Unis et les Antilles ont été des écoles excellentes pour l'instruction du Négre pendant les trois derniers siècles. Notre instruction est la meilleure dont est capable les meilleures institutions de l'Europe, de l'Amerique et du Caraïbe. Nous devons employer nos talents pour le développement de la Mère-Patrie. Que coûlà donc qui se préparent dans les différentes branches de la vie économique demeurement persuadés qu'ils implorent les fonctions de financiers, de directeurs, d'administrateurs, d'avocats, etc. En ce moment vous vous préparez pour une sphere d'activité dans la grande republique africaine, où vous serez des hommes d'état et les conducteurs de votre peuple. Nous sommes les bénéficiaires de la civilisation occidentale, prépares par consequent l'entreprise de l'ouverture gigantesque de la redemption de l'Afrique. Entassons et conservons nos finances afin d'etre,prêts quand viendra le jour glorieux de notre repatriation. Cest ici l'espoir de la Association Universelle pour l'Avancement de la Race Négre. Nous voulons voir plusieurs centaines de milliers de familles laissent les Antilles et l'Amerique pendant cette année en route pour l'Afrique. Ayant travaillés pendant six ans dans le but de faire de notre organisation la plus grande et la plus utile du moule, nous continuerons durant les années 1924-1925 la même œuvre afin d'exécuter en partie notre programme. M.G. (Du Journal Le Temps) de Paris Le roi Fuaid a accepté la démission du cabinet egyptien. Le souverain, qui est actuellement en excursion, rentrera au Caire incessamment et aussi-fot, croit-on, il fera appel à Zagloul pacha pour former un nouvel gouvernement. La vengeance du pharaon On sait que M. Howard Carter, qui dirige actuellement les fouilles du tombeau de Toutkamam, avait formé le projet, une fois mis à jour le cercueil du pharaon, de faire procéder à l'examen radiographique du corps du souverain. Cet examen devait être fait par sir Archibald Douglas-Reid, expert radiographie. Or, sir Archibald Douglas Reid, qui villegiatrait en Suisse, vient de mourir à l'age-de cinquante-deux Il n'y a pas un seul membre de la Racca Nigra qui n'a pas une haute appétition de l'acte noble et équitable du Président Coolidge, dans la Commission d'Enquête de la Racca minte qui l'a nommé pour faire une investigation des conditions, existantes dans les antilles américaines de St. Thomas, St. Croix et St. Jean à l'égard de l'administration et les moyens d'existence des habitants de ces iles. A l'époque ci les iles appartenaient au Danemark, les populations avaient le respect et l'festime du gouvernement de la métropole. En outre le rang social dont jouissait les habitants de ces iles, ils bénéficiaient aussi de certaines fonctions civiles et économiques, de sorte que les plus intelligents parmi les divers groupes opposent à la vente des possessions danoise au gouvernement americain. Les habitants de St. Thomas et des deux autres iles ne souhaitaient point les mauvaises consequences d'aucun préjuger de couleur dans leurs relations sociales avec les groupes de la Race blanche. Dans la vie officielle de la colonie les hommes de couleur n'était pas exclus des affaires; au contraire, ils jouissait d'une certaine, indépendance économique à cause de l'industrie sucrière et les avantages commercialiaux des iles, surtout de St. Thomas, comme entrepoit. Malheureusement, Fadministration navale americaine, the Volstead act—la prohibition—et les lois réglementaires du port ont tout changé an prejudice des habitants de Famien archipel danois. Or done, la majeure partie de la population de ces états d'Race Négre, le President Coulidge a fait un palliorieux en avant par sa nomination d'une Commission Mixte pour faire une investigation dans les conditions qui touchet à la vie économique et politique de ce peuple. Sans prétention aucune, je sus persuade qu'une parallele Commission Mixte pour Haiti pour faire une enquête, serièse et sam prévention aurait en sa raison d'être, et serait compatible avec la politique équitable du Président Coolidge. Je ne connais aucune raison pour justifier l'usurpation, c.a.d. la saisie du gouvernement d'Haiti par l'administration de M. Wilson; non plus la justise du régime arbitraire de l'Occupation Militaire sous le Général Russell, avec un Président d'Haiti passif et une législature dont les membres sont ses propres créatures et qui font sa volonté. La Comité d'Investigation envoyé en Haiti par le Sécurité de M. le Secrétaire Doubly visite qui a été de courte durée ; n'a fait que pallié toutes les allegations proférées contre l'Occupation américaine en Haiti. Je demeure si ce rapport, pour satisfaire la justice et l'opposition du Président Coolidge. Le Señateur King, d'Ithaca, qui était membre du premier Comité senatorial a visité Haiti bras-quement, a dit, on formule une recommandation autorisant au Sénat le retrait de l'Occupation américaine du territoire haïtien, et la remise au peuple d'Haiti de la gestion de leurs affaires nationales. Je souhaite que cette nouvelle soit vraie et que le Sénat adoptera la mesure proposée par le Sénateur King. Nous n'avons aucun droit d'occuper le territoire de la République d'Haiti, comme aussi il n'est pas de notre devoir d'occuper le Mexique Si les nouvelles parlennes à la presse sont authentiques, les élections de date recentes en Haiti, nous le contrôle du Général Russell, ont été faites de la façon YANKEE dans les états du Sud, avec de la violence, Intimidation et la fraude, étant donné ajoutent les nouvelles, quelques armes ont été volées dans le bat d'assurer la défait du Parti Nationaliste. Le peuple Haitien, de droit, est libre, en effet, ce peuple doit jour de sa liberté et de son indépendance. L'Amerique ne peut se justifier du vol de la souveraineté de la Nation Haitienne, et due maltraitement de ses habitants comme s'ils n'était que des esclaves. Nous serons gratifiés de savoir que le Président Coolidge se saisis de la question haitienne sans prévention et avec une determination de rendre justice à ce peuple malnécé, comme du reste, il a si bien fait pour les anciennes colonies damoies. C'EST JUSTICE. Le gouvernement des États Unis aurait du être le dernier sur la terre à être coupable d'avoir usurpé le pouvoir et assujti les nationaux d'une puissance amie. "L'homme est un ouiil qui doit se briser à l'océver dans la main de la Providence que s'en sert pour ses dessins. Aussi longtemps que le corps, peut, l'esprit doit youloir."—Ghristopher Colomb. Nous reproduisons le commentaire de l'éditeur du journal "Le Temps" de Paris—20 Janvier—a cause de la lumière que cet article jette sur les relations existantes entre la France et la Grande Brétagne a l'heure actuelle: M. Poincaré faisit allusion avant-hier à la crise ministérielle qui doit éclater deainin de Angleterre: "Je n'ai pas besoin de dire, déclarait-il, que la politique interieure de nos allies ne nous regarde pas et que, conservateur, liberal ou travailiste, le cabinet britannique a toujours, à nos yeux, son pays tout entier. . . . Nous considérèrons comme désastreuse la rupture des liens qui nous unissent, et si jamais nous en étions menaces, je ferais certainement l'impossible pour la conjurer." Ces paroles, qui ont été interromptes par les vifs applaudissements de la Chambre, attestent que la France entend demeurer impartiale et fidèle. Quans les lignes qui suivent, on ne trouvera rien de contraire à ces deux sentiments. On nous permettra cependant de marquer une préférence, non pas entre les opinions que les Anglais professent dans leur politique intérieure, mais entre les dispositions qu'ils manifestent envers les nations étrangères, et principalement envers notre pays. Ce n'est pas la une question de parti. Bien que la cause de Pamité franco-anglaise nait guère debait soumettre, peadant les récents débats du Parlement britannique, que par un homme supérieur comme lord Grey et par des membres du ministère conservateur comme sire W. Johnson-Hicks et M. Ronald MacNeil, nous sommes persuadés que tous les partis anglais sans exception, renferment des hommes qui veulent sincèrement le maintien de l'Entente cordiale. Ce sont précisé que ces hommes-lui comprennent le mieux les intérêts de leur propre patrie. Témoinons-nous notre sympathie particulière et disons-leur que nous ne les outdireons pas. Dantre part, le public français a besoin de connaître les projets futur cabiné britannique en ce qui touche la politique européenne. Ce n'est pas la une curiosité deplacer, ni un signe de neufance. En cherchant la apperence d'avance la direction que M. Ramay Macdonald veut prendre, nous obsèssons à la précocupation bien légitime d'éviter les choirs; car il vient mieux prévenir que guirer. Réisit donc les discours de ces jours derniers. Dantre le débat qui vient de déruler sans precipitation devant la Chambre des communes, quatre orateurs spécifiquement qualifiés sont expiéqués sur la politique extérieure du futur gouvernement socialiste. Tous ont parlé de la France. Denux au moins ont prononcé le nom de la Rusie. Quelle est Fimpression d'ensemble que laissent leurs declarations? Hs noit pas menage la France, saui partois dans la forie. Mais nous n'en prendrons pas prétexte pour faire l'apologies de la politique française. Quand on l'objet de criques, même après, il est plus avantageux de d'en tirer-parti pour Fadernir que d'l répondre par un paniage qui du passe. Si l'adversaire du vrai, corrigions-nous, S'il se troupe, c'est lui qui en souffra finalement. L'essentiel est que nous saissions bien le motif de son me-mentention. Quand on lit les discours prononçés au nom du Labour Party, l'on arrive une constatation assez curieuse. Aucun des orateurs n'a stilé, d'une manière précise, que la politique française avait cause un dommage déterminé aux intérêts matériels de l'Angleterre. Nous nous attendons à quelque démonstration, appuyée sur des faits et sur des chiffres et tendant a prouver que la politique de la France avait aggrage le chionage en Angleterre, paralysis les exportations anglaises, cause la dépréciation du change anglais, et ainsit de suite. Nous voulions comparer ces arguments à ceux qu'on invoque en France pour prouver tout le contraire. Nous nous demandons si la démonstration des socialistes anglais ébranlerait celle des économistes français, qui parait extrêmement solide et qui repose d'ailleurs sur des statistiques anglaises. Mais nous n'avons pas la ressource de faire comparaison. Les onateurs du Labour Party n'ont entrepris aucune demonstration.

Ramay MacDonald en a donné l'exemple. Emmanent les raisons pour lesquelles il exigait la hute du cabinet Baldwin, il a commencé par celli-ci: "A l'heure actuelle, la Grande-Bretagne ne défend sur le continent européen, aucune politique définite, décisive ni effective. Il est temps que cela change." Le chef du parti socialiste se plaignait que l'Angleterre re fût pas parveque à se faire courder de la France, et il ajoutait: "Il nous faut un nouveau depart. Nous ne pouvons pas être dédaignés." Le même état d'esprit apparaissait mercredit dans le discours d'un autre socialiste notoire, M. Tom Shaw: "Quand L'Angleterre estelle jamais tonbèse si bas?" demandait-il, Ét. reprochant, toujours au cabinet Baldwin de s'être efface devant la France, il conchait: "A qui sert de nous raconter que le gouvernement maintient, de quelque façon que ce soit, le prestige de notre pays?" Le lendemain, la Chambre des communes contait le principal lieutenant de M. MacDonald: "Notre position à l'Etranger, déclarait M. Clynes, est plus faible qu'elle nela jamais été. Notre influence dans les affaires extérieures a presque disparu." Bien entendu, c'est encore à une condescendance exagère pour la France que M. Clynes attribuait cette signation. Vendredi enfin, la Chambre des communes a entendu M. Thomas, qui parait destiné à prendre le portefeuille de la guerre dans le cabinet MacDonald. Comme les autres orateurs socialistes, M. Thomas soutenait que l'Angletierre est laissé dormir par la France et il prononçait, à son tour, ce dangerux mot de "prestige" qui a fait commettre tant de d'erreurs: "Le Labour Party, expliqu-il, a dit delibérer que depuis l'arrivée au pouvoir du gouvernement actuel, le prestige britanique a été abaisse comme il ne l'avait jamais été auparavant." Sur le fond des choses, nous croyeux que les orteurs socialistes d'ontre-Manche, se trouvent entièrement. Le prestige de L'Anglèterne n'a multement abaisse. Il se trouve simplement que L'Anglèterne, non plus qu'aucune autre puissance, ne saura exerce une domination ni jouer impuiment un jeu de basse dans l'Europe modern. Mais sur cette question de fond, c'est l'expérience qui statura. Reste une considération de forme qui n'est peut-être pas sans importance. L'argument du "prestige" est un argument en entiennent "nationaliste". Il n'est recommandable en aucun ege, mais il est particulièrement dépliqué chez un parti qui adhère à l'Internationale d'Amsterdam. Nous espérons donc que M. MacDonald et ses collégues y renoueront lorsqu'ils seront au pouvoir. On acquiert tout naturellement du prestige quand, qu'enravant devant un problème où beaucoup d'autres ont céché. Ton imagine une solution raisonnable et ton parvient à la réaliser. C'est la grace que nous avons toujours souhaité au gouvernement français. Nous la souhait également au future gouvernement britannique, et nous voyons lui donner ainsi la preuve de notre bonne colonie. Nous n'aurons plus qu'examiner, maintenant, les relations que le cabinet MayDonald se promise de renouvrir avec la Russie. Mais nous voudrions, en terminant, ajouter une observation qui nous parait pressante. Bien qu'elle ne se rattache pas directement aux renartiques ci-dessus, elle suggérera peut-être des idées qui faciliteraient une entente trançoing-anglaise. Il nous semble que la France devrait prendre l'initiative de quelque negotiation nouvelle sur les deites de guerre. Elle pourrait commencer, suivant l'exemple de, l'Angleterre, par s'aboncher avec les États-Unis.

DON'T Be A Slave **MUSEUM OF THE NEGRO WORLD.** This is a remarkable characteristic of human nature. There is no human nature that does not appreciate, extolled and not like to be honored. We are the specimens of a guard of honor, honorably acquitted. Your most honors and honorable so and so, from the greatest to the least honor seems to be a natural endowment, which has extended from our Adam and Eve. But, in my conception, there is a real honor and also a false one. The man honors the man outwardly with a statute, a grand display of arms; he bowls and scraps the earth with his feet, but in his heart of hearts, he says, "Oh, what a racal" an external profession for an internal dislike. Is that the true honor of man? No; honor is a virtue that excellens, the virtues of which goes, down to the soul of the individual who offers it; and meets the approval of the soul that receives it; then that true spark of unselfish devotion and humble adoration ignites. The soul that renders praise and honor to God (or his loving kindness in sincerity and truth) is met by his direct approval and that virtue is reflected to the giver in like manner. The virtue that guarded Joseph's conscience in Egypt when he was tempted. How can I do this great wickedness and sin against me God? Was honorably exalted some time after. Such is the honor that has been kindled in the hearts of the Negro today. The one man, Marcus Garvey, has unselfishly clung to that virtue with a courage that rose above the wreck or his people. It sustained him on his voyage from Southampton; it encouraged him when encompassed by enemies; it permeated his frame when he was standing before Judge Muck and set guarded him when alone in the Tombs prison, and now that honor, that noble aspiration which he has fought for and is still fighting for cannot fail to be reflected by the many thousand sons and daughters of African roll. Such honor will remain and retain its brilliance; though the earth be removed, it shall continue even though time shall have destroyed all that is beautiful of this earth. RICHARD M. SCOTT Herrera Oriente, Cuba. Psychology of the Hope Beyond Eternal To the Editor of The Negro World: Mr. Blackman sends us also the following on "Psychology of the Hope Beyond," which the death of his brother may have easily provoked: "Marvel not at this nor consure me. For I am not sorrowful unto madness. If I give you any unholy thing, it is because. I drink of the contaminated waters of the ascetic East and the heretic West. Rather would I greet you as fellow creatures of a mysterious Providence than as companions of misery. I would, however, that you eschew the cherished fallacies of childhood and resort to the truth, even when it forces itself, as it sometimes will, through the hardened arteries of pessimism. Paradoxically, if today be dark, have hope unto tomorrow, in that you may gain knowledge to place bands on the levers that control the rising of the sun. Hope is that which casts devils, that which lashes the hosts of hell at the frontiers of the earth; meek and lowly, it sits on the "Will-To-Live" and rides triumphantly into the Valley of Dry Bones and, in the twinkling of an eye, a city is established, a population is born. This is the Celestial City—land of paradox, Edenic Beyond. "Eternal Life," Eternal Rest!" crises unhappy man, weary of earth and laden with sorrows, yet be one on the other is a minorer, according to the believers. The shilohleth to life is action. Just as sensational activity in the life of this sense, perceptive world, so also must like activities be the life of like worlds. Here, in this fleeting phenomenon of existence, "the split truly is willing, but the flesh is weak," and weakness is both a sign and a state of imminent death. Persecution chaseth after it, misery and woe lie in its path, death follows at its heels. This is Nature's way of escape from the tedium of life to—not that impossible monstrosity, an interregnum in time, a vacuity in space, where there is neither matter nor motion—eternal nothingness. The speculators hand us their ware, flat, shallow, empty. Stand on the hilltops of truth and watch this revolving panorama of the phenomenal world: life, pleasure, pain, death! The eternal lasitude of creatures, monotony of existence. Hall the palm vendors with many halluijahs, ye, ten thousand times ten thousand; yet, as a thief in the night on tiptoe, come the rebirth of the reiterant same. This is Nature face to face with the timidity of man—shocking, horrible, exacting, cruel! Did not Christ give comfort to such a world, and the Preacher his marvelous promises? An life revolves about its destiny, deliverance is the revelation of the book of all books, the explanation of all truths. But the thought of man, noble or ignoble, offers not excuse nor denial in this scheme of things. What thinketh the beautiful flower or the stupid beast, and why visit the sins of the father upon the innocent babe in its mother's womb? O Man, thou most mysterious creature, knowing much yet so little known, what is the truth of thy being? I sit at the feet of poet and sage, nay, in the feet of all wise men, in solemn contemplation, and for a while the heart rejoices, but with vexed spirit arises in lamentations over the dixy content of man, mingled with the emotion of his troubled breast. All is joyful! Days one in high consciousness of self: What a piece of work shall. How noble in reason; how noble in insistence; in form and move. hag: how express and admirable in action, how like an angel; in apprehension, how like a God." Likewise, another, while in supplication to his God, "What is man that thou art mindful of him, and the son of man that thou visitest him?" And still others, ignobly: "Man liveth and deth like the ox, he goes down to the grave and is no more." O miserable paradox! at the crossroads of doubt this evil generation seeketh a sign. We hope, we believe, but when it is asked, "Whither goest thou, stranger?" we can but exclaim, "Lead kindly light amid the encircling gloom." C. HOWARD BLACKMAN. 2221 S. Dearborn Street, Chicago, Ill. A commission of ten members of the Porto Rican Legislature are in Washington in order to secure from Congress modifications of the organic laws of the island. The commission has an appropriation of $50,000 to defray its expenses. It is composed of representatives of the three chief political parties—Unionists, Republicans, and Socialists. Prior to sailing they had not agreed concerning all the changes in the island government which would be requested from Congress, but were united in the idea of promoting home rule for Porto Rico. The joint resolution passed by the last Legislature creating the commission directs it to present to the President and Congress requests for legislation covering the following points: "(a) That the Congress, as well as the President of the United States of America, declare the purposes of said authorities as regards the final status of the island of Porto Rico. "(b) That the Legislature of Porto Rico be granted power to legislate without restriction on all local matters. "(c) That the people of Porto Rico shall elect their governor by vote of their qualified electors. "(d) That all appointments now made by the President of the United States with the approval of the Federal Senate shall hereafter be made by the governor of Porto Rico with the advice and counsel of the insular Senate. "(e) That the island be granted power to legislate on all its financial problems and to regulate the acquisition of lands and to levy local excise or internal]_revenue taxes to be collected in benefit of the insular treasury, and in general on all such measures as may be demanded by the interests and needs of Porto Rico which are not in conflict with such other measures of the same nature as are of a national character. "(f) That all, such measures of a national character that tend to benefit education, agriculture and other sources of knowledge or of wealth in the Island shall be extended to Porto Rico in the same proportion in which they are extended to all the States of the American Union." —The "Modernists" are no longer singing that familiar hymn, "The Old-time Religion is Good Enough for Me."

Porto Ricans Fight For Home Rule --- HENRY FOED'S RACING OF PRESIDENT CONIDGE Take Famous Business Man's Advice and So Maintain Prosperity Due to Republican Policies, Is Urged WASHINGTON. Feb. 2.—When Henry Ford, who employs a large number of colored wage earners, said: "I am satisfied that 90 per cent of the people feel perfectly safe with Coolidge, and I feel, too, that the country is perfect safe with him," he gave expression to the thought that is in the minds of most large employers of labor, who are hoping for a continuance of national prosperity. With mines, factories and mills running at capacity production; with labor generally employed; and with business man preparing to make extensions that were retarded on account of the war, there appears to be a settled conviction that this is no time to rock the political boat or to try out pational economic theories that have not had the acid test. If full recovery in industrial and financial affairs is desired and if the horrors of unemployment are to be avoided, the machinery of the government must function to the satisfaction of those whose investments of capital in business enterprises make it possible for industrial and financial activity. With 811 out of every 1,000 Negro males, ten years of age and over, gainfully employed, and with 359 in each group of 1,000 Negro females, ten years of age and over, also gainfully employed, our economic status shows a remarkable improvement in all sections of the country, over the prevailing condition of but a few years ago. This is reflected in the home-buying activities of the race; in the organization of banking-institutions; in the extensions of our insurance companies; in the increase in the number of our retail dealers; in the purchase and building of churches; in the mechanical appearance and increased circulation of our newspapers; and in the exceptionally large number of students attending the various colleges and universities all over the country. In the recent announcement of his political attitude, Mr. Ford said: "Mr. Coolidge has shown in these months of service a great many qualities that should please his countrymen. I think they all feel that Mr. Coolidge means to do right. 'And when a man means to do right, so far as I have observed, it is usually quite easy for him to find the way to do right.' In these words Mr. Ford gave an expert opinion of a remarkably successful business man, an opinion that should cause us to think deeply if we hope for the protection of our citizenship and our further advancement in business and industry. Race Inquiry Proposed By Governor Pinchot HARRISBURG, Pa., Governor Pinchot, welcoming representatives of institutions, agencies and persons interested in the welfare of the State's Negro population, who recently met in conference, told them he is planning the appointment in the near future of an "interracial committee to take account of the relations of the two." The Governor indorsed the conference, which was called by Dr. Ellen C. Potter, State Secretary of Welfare, to discuss health, housing conditions, recreation or leisure time activities and problems of dependency as they affect the Negro population.

In the high school, the work did not go well and the teachers noticed that the boy was unhappy and disagreeable, too much alone, and evidently "going down hill."

She finally overcame his fear and persuaded him to have a health examination.

There were but three in the family—the mother, father and the son, who was or high school age. They had not been here long and things were beginning to look as though they were going to get a good home started, when trouble began. It wasn't that the son who had started school had a particularly difficult time, for, while he was slow in picking up English, he was doing as well as most boys in a strange land would do. Food was plain, but there was abundant supply, as there had not been in the old country. The trouble was that the father had carried too heavy a burden of work and worry all through the war years, and had gone without necessary nourishment so that his wife and son could have it—and he had had tuberculosis, lying now dormant and now Doctors and druggists everywhere recommend my Bulgarian Herb Tea (formerly called Blood Tea) because it forms a pure and helps the slick.

A Remarkable Home Treatment Given by One Who Had It. In the year of 1893 I was attacked by Muscular and Subacute. Rheumatism. I suffered as only those who are thus afflicted know, for over three years. I tried remedy after remedy, but such relief as I obtained was only temporary. Finally, I found a treatment that cured me completely and such a pitiful condition has never returned. I have given it to a number who were terribly afflicted, even bedridden, some of them seventy to eighty years old, and the results were the same as in my own case. I want every sufferer from any form of muscular and subacute (swelling at the joints) rheumatism to try the great value of my improved "Home Treatment" for its remarkable healing power. Don't send a cent; simply mail your name and address and I will send it free to try. After you have used it and it has proven itself to be that long-looked for means of getting rid of such forms of rheumatism, you may send the price of it, one dollar, but understand I do not want your money unless you are perfectly satisfied to send it. Isn't that fair? Why suffer any longer when relief is thus offered you free? Don't delay. Write today. MARK H. JACKSON No. 269-K Durston Bldg SYRACUSE, N. Y.
