The Negro World

WORLD TO UNITE AND HELP DEVELOP LIBERIA AND ABYSSINIA Fellow Members of the Negro Race, Greeting: The Universal Negro Improvement Association, the world's largest and greatest Negro movement, appeals to each and every Negro for a sober consideration of its program, in that it is our desire to have all the people working together for the common good. The Universal Negro Improvement Association seeks to unite into one organized body for the purpose of working for our industrial and political emancipation. We desire, not only to have a country of our own wherein to develop ourselves as a national force, but also to work for the industrial emancipation of our race everywhere. The Slaves of Others We realize that a race that is industrially dependent naturally becomes the slave of others, such as we have been for the last three hundred years. The time has really come for those of us of light and leading to use our energies and abilities in helping to establish the Negro on a firm industrial base. If we can succeed in making the race industrially independent and free, there is every reason for us to assume that all the other changes desired will gradually be accomplished. For the purpose of making this industrial base as firm as possible, we are now asking the race to concentrate upon the development of the little black republic of Liberia. Possibilities of a Race We would like to have every Negro, who is able, to repatriate himself to that country, under the direction of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and help in its development. The industrial, agricultural and commercial possibilities of that country are untold, the exploitation of which will be left to the sober judgment of those who desire to make it their future home. INDUSTRIAL, COMMERCIAL, CULTURAL AND RELIGIOUS FUTURE OF RACE IN AFRICA JEWS BUILDING PALESTINE; NEGROES BUILDING LIBERIA BIG CONVENTION IN NEW YORK, AUGUST, 1924 Liberia is a black republic governed by black men, offering to the black peoples of the world the greatest opportunity for their development. The Universal Negro Improvement Association wants every one, especially its members, to take advantage of the opportunity in becoming a part of the citizenry of this rising nation. Abyssinia also offers a welcome to members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association to help in her development, though we are not ready yet for the promotion of our colonization plans for Abyssinia, but right now we want all well-thinking Negroes to start making preparation for going to Liberia. Colonization Plan of 1924 The Association intends to spend millions of dollars during 1924 and 1925 on the colonization plans for developing Liberia, and it is felt that with the co-operation and help of the members throughout the world, so much will be done as to render us able to show the world in a short while the capability of the Negro in helping and developing himself when honestly left alone. The opportunity to assist in building one's own country, where peace and happiness are guaranteed, is to us Negroes unique. We have assisted in building up the nations of others, to be kicked about and abused, and then in other cases murdered; but here the four hundred millions of us have a chance of uniting our educational, industrial, cultural and financial forces in building a country that we can call home. Africa, the Home of the Blacks Africa is the home of all black men, and Liberia is the open door to that motherland of ours. Let us help build her to the foremost place among the nations of the world. As Englishmen have worked for the development of the great English nation; as Americans have worked for the development of the great American commonwealth, so the four hundred million Negroes of the world should work for the development of black Liberia. Let us make our homes there. Let us guarantee to our children and generations yet unborn the protection of a nation of their own. Each and every one can help in this respect and foster the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association for 1924. With very best wishes, I have the honor to be Your obedient servant. MARCUS GARVEY, President-General, Universal Negro Improvement Association Boston, Mass., May 27, 1924. P. S.—All members, chapters and divisions of the Universal Negro Improvement Association are again reminded that our convention of this year will only admit delegates from financial divisions and chapters to discussions affecting the interest of the Association. All members, therefore, are requested to see that their divisions become financial with the Parent Body and that they themselves become financial by paying up the annual assessment tax which became due from the 1st of January. Members are also requested to collect on the collecting lists sent them for the Convention Fund and forward same to the Parent Body weekly. M. G. Says Negro Should Be Given His Chance; Denial Disastrous WHITE MEN OF CLEAR VISION MUST RECKON WITH U.N.I.A. he says Dr. Crapey, "tast of the tried, tried for heresy, in 1908 and saved from the pulpit, in a recent pub- lish statement. Yes, that seems to say among the chief troubles of the world we live in—a world so changed from the time of the Man of Marmore still. If He came again today, He would have to use dynamite instead of whip- words to empty the "den of thieves." The twentieth century sojourner is a capitalist—he will not sell all he has and give to the poor and lay up treasure in heaven; he is a materialist—he refuses to consider either the hills of the field or the birds of the air; and he is a militarist—turning the other chock is to him the height of folly. Whoever would keep pace with his children, in the world today must be intelligent, materialist, militant. But so or be pushed to heaven or hell on short wings. This is a hard, mater-of-fast world, in which erudite philosophers and captured poets beg their wield. The Negro is the best churchgoer the world over. He is also the poorest member of society the world over. But he does not grovel in poverty BE-CAUSE he goes to church. Rather, IN SPITE OF it all. Go to church by all means and give praise to God, but so pray, so sing, so think, that you will leave the sacred edifice strengthened for the fight for some of the world's goods. The trouble with the Negro seems to lie in his frantic efforts to monopolize the psalm singing. He is his own deceiver, telling himself that God must of necessity be more merciful unto him since he is the prodigal, the football of the earth. The Negro must cease telling the other fellow, "Take all the world and give me Jesus," for he will find that, if the other fellow takes him at his word, Jesus, too, will be denied him. Jesus must frown on the man that has wasted his living. Dr. Du Bois, while on the rampage recently, saw fit to oast stones at Prof. Kelly Miller, his good friend Kelly, his brother intellectual. He Kelly and his helpmate denying the former his title of Dean, and the latter even the hollow credit of its name. Now Dean Kelly Miller comes back. He is tired with Du Bols and his brood, and he says so. He is frank and honest. When intellectuals fall out, the hoo pollin get their dues. The Dean says there are no Negro leaders, none worth a penny, with the single exception, perhaps, of Marcus Garvey. So time works wonders. Only let Du Bols turn and rend Pickens, for instance, and the Universal Negro Improvement Association need not spend another penny for propaganda purposes. Pickens will proclaim its righteous, undying principles from the housetops. An Englishman, writing in the London News, is terror-striken because a "quixotic governor" proposes to build a university college on the Gold Coast Colony, West Africa, where native Africans can obtain higher education. He envisages, he confesses, a world with Negroes educated everywhere, and fairly trembles. Why educate them? he rants. What is the Negro's destiny? What is he good for? What can he do? And he proceeds to answer the last question in terms calculated to make his countrymen also tremble. The Negro can create problems. If nothing else he says; the biggest problem being "selzing his own country by force." So "it is a nuisance," he shrieks, "that there are Negroes in Africa at all." "We white men want the riches of the Negro's land." "France is crazy, arming black natives." "I have seen a black judge of the Liberian High Court completely overshadow Lord Bryce and others in courtry." Oh, countrymen, fellow Nordics, he warned! Don't take the Universal Negro improvement Association lightly, he beaches. "Self-interest as much as sympathy, impels any man of clear vision to attempt to give direction to the movement," is his considered opinion. There is the rub! In plain black and white, at last. White men of clear visage, says this English patriot, would do well to steer the Universal Negro Improvement Association. It is not enough that hindering tactics be employed on the outside; white men should, if possible, get inside; get a few scabs on the executive board; alt face to face with Marcus Garvey around the council table and hear his views and state thels, and put over theirs, and in time control the U. N. I. A. as effectively as white men now control the N. A. A. C.P. Sorry, Mr. Englishman; you are, waiting time, if any of these things are back of your mind. The Universal Negro Improvement Association is the great, formidable factor you speak of because it is controlled by Negroes. The best way in which white men can "give direction to the movement" is by getting set of Africa. Give the Negro a chance, for, as you rightly state, "Give it him, and he may astonish us. Deny it him and he may astonish us still, but in a way altogether disastrous." VETO OF BONUS BILL OVERRIDDEN BY THE SENATE Republican Party Demoralised in the Congress and Democrats Jubilant—Friends and Foes of the Measure A PRICE ON PATRIOTISM WASHINGTON, Monday.—The Senate today overrode President Coolidge's veto of the soldiers' bonus bill. The vote was 50 to 26 to overthrow the veto. This was two more than the necessary two-thirds majority. The measure now, automatically becomes law, the House having taken similar action. In Doubt Till Last Several Republican organization Tenders joined with a strong Democrat lineup in upsetting the veto on a vote which was in doubt until the last minute. Thirty Republicans, twenty-seven Democrats and the two Farm- Labor Senators, voted to override the veto. Seventeen Republicans and nine Democrats voted to sustain the President. Less than a dozen Senators were absent when actual consideration of the bill began with the reading of the President's veto message. When the bill was vailed up Senator Read of Pennsylvania, anti-bono leader, asked, unanimous consent that it go over until Saturday, but Senator Ashurst, Arizona, Democrat, and bonus advocates, objected, and forced the vote. Crowds of House members thronged into the chamber and crowded around the walls. The galleries were filled. "Scenator Curtis said he believed the minds of most of the Senators were made up and he favored a roll call senator. Robinson, Arkansas, the Democratic leader, concurred to the suggestion and there were cries of "Vote" from both sides. The clerk then began to call the roll. President Coolidge himself made an eleventh hour effort to stem the tide of support for the bill. He summoned seven Republicans favoring it to the White House, but was unable to swing over enough voice to accomplish its defeat. Republicans — Brandegee, Brookhart, Bursum, Cameron, Capper, Cummins, Curtis, Dale, Elkins, Fees, Frazler, Goodling, Hale, Harceld, Howell, John- son of California; James of Washington; Ladd, Leenuro, Lodge, McLean, McNary, Norbeck, Norris, Oddie, Short- ridge, Spencer, Stainfield, Warren and Willis—30. Democrats—Adams, Ashurst, Broussard, Cenaway, Copeland, Dill, Ferris, Plotcher, George, Gerry, Harris, Heflin, Jones of New Mexico; Kendrick, McKellar, Mayfield, Neely, Overman, Pittman, Ralston, Robinson, Sheppard's Simions, Smith, Trammell, Walsh of Montana and Wheeler—27. Farmer-Labor—Johnson of Minnesota; Shipstead—2. Total 50. Against overriding the veto: Republicans—Ball, Borah, Coll, Edge, Knast, Ferrald, Greene, Keyes, McKleary, Moses, "Upper, Phipps, Reed of Pennsylvania; Smoot, Sterling, Wadsworth and Weller—17. Democrats - Bayard, Bruce, Dial, Edwards, Glass, King, Shields, Swanson and Underwood-3. Total--28. An almost absolute silence provalled during the toll call, and as the result was announced, cheering broke out in the crowded galleries. President Cummins ordered the sergeant-at-arms to "clear the gallery;" but, as he added "if the disturbance (Continued on page 5) Genuine BAYER ASPIRIN INSIST!

(From the Liberal News) The sad and impreenable loss of Robert Lincoln Poston, late secretary general of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, was indeed a stroke almost beyond recovery to the (Liberian) Monrovia Division of our great association; for he had just a few weeks ago left Monrovia, per the steamship Hanner, on route for the United States in company with Miss Henrietta Vinton Davies and Mr. Milton Van Lowe where they had come on a special mission in the interest of the Universal Negro Improvement Association; and having successfully accomplished their mission were returning to the United States, bearing good news, and glad tidings of their successes. Immediately on his arrival in Monrovia, Mr. Postog foot no time in getting in touch with the leading minds of the country, and at once endured himself to all whom he came in contact with. His highest ideals were the repatriation of his people to the Fatherland, and the Redemption of Africa. The Liberian News extends its greatest sympathy to the Parent Body, and especially to his bereaved family for the irreparable loss they have recently sustained. VIRGIN ISLANDERS FOR BETTER GOVERNMENT Present Naval Administration Alleged to Be One-sided and Oppressive—Needs of the Islanders Stated By CASPER HOLSTEIN President Virgin Islands Congressional Council In the Virgin Islands today 100 out of every 100 people of voting age are denied the right to vote by officials of the American Occupation, who vainly pretend that they are administering a Danish law in an American possession. Yet the Danish law referred to went into effect in 1907, and carries the proviso that at the end of ten years restrictions on the ballot shall cease. The ten years provided under the Danish law ended when the American Government took over the islands, and it is therefore an American responsibility rather than a Danish civil inheritance which this arouse situation represents. That is the chief reason why the Virgin Islands deserve a change from the present naval regime to a settled civile status under the Stars and Stripes; and that is why Washington Williams, the great Marylander, who is at the same time government attorney, police judge, and chairman of the Board of Election, is now telling falsehoods as best he can to try to prove by force of sheer assertion that the naval regime of the Virgin Islands is not a naval government. What It Means Fair-minded Americans, white and black, should be made to understand what this new departure in the colonial policy of the American Government means what it implies. It means that we propose to add to our domestic race problem, which is already of large proportions, an additional race problem created and kept alive by the same race prejudice, injustice and oppression. It implies that the authorities of the Navy Department are mightier than the Congress of the United States, when Negroes are invaded. Of course, the Congress never intended this, but such is the situation at present. And thus it is the Virgin Islanders who are pleading for congressional self-respect in asking the Congress to resume its prerogative of government by taking the administration of the Virgin Islands out of the hands of the Navy Department. Under the naval regime the courts are so administered that justice has become a mockery and the people have lost all confidence in the judiciary. The recent report of the Commission to the Virgin Islands states as much in different language. The system is an outrage on the civic self-respect of the inhabitants of these islands. Under it individual protest and collective pleading are futile and the rottenness of it is apparent to the naked eye of even the most casual observer. The bill now under consideration by Congress would remove this and many of the other disabilities under, which the islands now groan. It should be passed as a matter of justice, though delayed, to free the energy and patrolism of the Virgin Islanders from the shackles of political peonage and set up in place of the present regime an era of things under which it would be easy to respect the Government and reverence the flag. If the present Administration could bring this about it (Continued on page 5) THE NEGRO'S DESTINY AS VIEWED BY A-FRANK, FEARFUL ENGLISHMAN IN THE LIGHT OF THE NEW RACE CONSCIOUSNESS THAT HAS ARRIVED To Educate the Negro or Not to Educate Him, That Is the Question-Seea Trained Black Millions Now Controlled by France Rising Up to Seize Their Own Country by Force-Universal Negro Improvement Association a Formidable Factor-Back to Africa Movement Means More Than Appears on the Surface-Negro Can No Longer Be Ignored THE BLACK REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA AND WHAT MAY COME OF IT IN THE CLOSEON News One day last week an unobtrusive little paragraph appeared in some of the papers. It recorded the decision to build a university college in the Gold Coast Colony and the appointment of the first principal. There are at present, it appears, nothing but primary schools in the Colony, and the first task will be to train staffs for secondary schools that have yet to be created. As for this particular scheme, it starts with everything in its favor. The Governor of the Gold Coast, Sir Frederick Guglsberg, is doing everything possible for it, and in its principal, Mr. Alec Fraser, of Trinity College. Kandy, he will be backed by one of the foremost educators of the day. But behind the proposal to educate Negroes in the Gold Coast lie the far wider question of educating Negroes everywhere. Why educate them? What is the Negro's destiny? What is he good for? What can he do? What promise has he shown so far? Searching questions, and some of them needing long answers. Let us try one to begin with. What can the Negro do? Well, at any rate, he can create problems. In the United States he almost split a vast nation in two, and he has left the country saddled with a legacy that even now is little less than a curse. In French Africa he has created a different problem, to which no one has given much thought so far. Yet can you arm black natives by tens of thousands without risking at least the possibility that it may one day curr to them to seize their own country by force? It is, of course, a nuisance that there are Negroes in Africa at all. Though they have their uses as laborers for the whites. But what the whites want is really only the riches of the negroes' land, and over that they are disposed to dispute with some vigor. I once heard an eminent historian observe that, of course, the Great War began with the partition of Central Africa in the seventies. The remark may be an exaggeration, but it is at least suggestive. The Liberia Experiment And now on the Gold Coast, it seems there are quixotic persons—there is even a quixotic governor—prepared to educate Negroes in the hope of raising up native leaders for the race. The idea is not new. A much more ambitious project was cherished over a century ago, when a colony of freed slaves from America was planted on the west coast of Africa in a settlement called Monrovia, after the American President of the day, who thus gave his name to a town as well as a doctrine. In due time the patch of colony became the free and independent republic of Liberia. Great hopes were entertained for it. It modelled its institution closely on that of the United States but it maintained an all-black tradition. All electors must now be Negroes, and no white man can acquire citizenship or hold property. It is moreover, a Christian—predominately Methodist—country, and it has various schools and one college, even though it is still without railways. But singularly interesting though it is to study, Liberia can hardly be considered a success. The Republic exists. It declared war on Germany, and the once notorious "Panther," of Agadir fame, sang its one ship-navy. After that it signed the Treaty of Versailles and joined the League of Nations. But its finances have unfortunately gone wrong, and now America has taken them over altogether. Moreover, the culture it was hoped to introduce into Africa—and some culture unquestionably has been introduced—is confined to a narrow strip along the coast. Little if any impression has been made on the indigenous tribesmen. I once attended a function at which Lord Bryce and other competent speakers were completely shadowed in oratory by a black judge of the Liberian High Court. The Negro and the War But the problem Liberia was meant to solve remains. What is to be done with the Negro? You cannot ignore him. He is no longer ignoring him. self. He is becoming more conscious. The Negro who went to the war in the American army was a new Negro when he got back to Virginia or Georgia or Louisiana. Vague talk of a Pan-African movement represents smoke that has at least some spark of fire behind it. Mr. Stephen Graham in his striking book, "Children of the Slaves," speaks of a Universal Negro Improvement Association with a membership of two millions. A good deal fewer than two million Negroes in process of self-improvement can be a formidable factor in a country's fortunes, and self-interest as much as sympathy impairs any man of clear vision to attempt to give direction to the movement. But what direction? Is the idea of repopulating Africa with exiled Africans feasible? Lincoln hoped for that long ago. Many of the same students of the color problem hope for it still. Some of them feel the right course is for Englishmen or Amer- To to Editor of The Negro World: Kindly allow me a little space in your valuable columns to state the following: I have found it a very important matter to study the progress of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. We as a race are materially measuring up along progressive lines, industrial, commercial and political. The accomplishment of our nationhood largely depends on ourselves and no one else, in no tug-of-war fashion, but with a united effort, putting out the essentials of manliness and putting the program over. At this time we need real leaders of race more than ever. We need men like our notable leader, Hon. Marcus Garvey; men like the late Sir Robert Poston; men like Sir William Sherill; men who are willing to put more into the organization than what they can get out of it. It needs no drawing back from so great an organization, having at its head no noble a man in the person of *Garvey*, for it is the only organization intended to save the Negro race. To me the meanest flower that blooms can give thought that often lies too deep for tears. In comparison to modern civilization the Negro is a mean flower, yet if he uses the vital forces of nature which God Alphighty has placed in him he can give to the world a reformed civilization which will cause all nations to take the Negro into consideration and give him the respect due him as a man. How long will the Negroes halt between two opinions? Why not fall in one common line and put the program over and make ourselves a powerful nation among the nations of the world. During my recreation hours one day I happened to be where a man fell sick, and immediately, the doctor was sent for. Instead of a doctor came a doctress, who examined the patient, and he was sent to the hospital. I fall to see our Negro doctresses coming to visit our sick. I count it a great honor to our ladies as professionals of the race, knowing that no race can rise higher than its women. The new school of thought is inspiring men and women everywhere to become ideals of substantial character. A character which will stand out prominently among the noble characters of the world. How long will the men and women of our race, halt from becoming a mighty nation on the earth and have a speedy redemption of our motherland. Africa? JOSEPH A. MORTON. New York City. (From the Liberian News) The Monrovia (Liberia) Division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association is to be highly commanded for putting forth such a splendid and interesting program in the shape of a financial drive of five thousand dollars for the special purpose of purchasing a lot in the city of Monrovia to build for themselves a hall. A committee on ways and means has already been appointed to push through this drive, and has been promised a splendid location which overlooks the great Atlantic Ocean which washes the shores of Liberia. Since the recent departure of the delegation of the Universal Negro Improvement Association from Liberia, this division has taken a new impetus, for its membership is increasing by leaps and bounds. The secretary is kept busy enrolling the names of persons who express their desires to become members. "It is without doubt that with the class of responsible men and women in the lead, this division is destined to take the lead, and even show the parent division the way to the Redemption of Africa, our Fatherland.

GANDHI CONTINUES FIGHT PEACEABLY TO FREE INDIA His Non-Co-operation Policy Winning-For First Time in English Press He States His Views of Caste and the Like WORKS FOR RACE UNITY LONDON, May 3.—Mahatma Gandhi has recently expressed, in a letter written to an English friend, what his present activities are. The statement is so concisely worded that I have asked his permission to use it as an explanation of what he himself holds the non-co-operation movement to be today. He has written as follows: "Here is a brief statement of my activities: 1. Removal of the curse of untouchability among the Hindus. 2. The spread of hand-spinning and hand-weaving and the advocacy of the use of hand-spun and hand-woven cloth, to the exclusion of all foreign cloth and even cloth woven in Indian mills. 3. Advocacy of simple life and, therefore, the avoidance of intoxicating links and drugs." "4. The establishment of unadled national schools, both for the purpose of weaning students from government institutions as a part of the non-operation struggle, and of introducing education, inclusion, industrial training, in keeping with the national "5. Promotion of unity among Hindus, Mussulmans, Christians, Parsees, Jews, etc. "I carry on these activities through two institutions. The first is a college, Ahmedabad, established in 1910 where all those who desire to work out these ideals are invited to join. His expenses are defrayed from private contributions, made by monered friend, who are interested in the activity named. It has at the present moment nearly 100 inmates, both male and female, including several families from the so-called 'untouchable' class. There is a carding, spinning, and weaving school and an ordinary literary school attached to the college. Simple agricultural work also is done there, and an attempt is being made to grow our own cotton. Seek Peaceful Freedom "The second institution is the National Congress, which is a vast political organisation with a very simple big bolt, in my opinion, perfect constitution. This has adopted practically the whole of the foregoing program. It has branches in every part of India and has thousands of membels, who elect representatives annually. Payment of four annas (four pence) and acceptance of the Congress creed entitle an adult, male or female, to the membership of the Congress and to vote for the election of delegates. "The Congress naturally has a larger program of work than the activities above named, and, being a representative body, has no permanent program, but can change it from year to year. Its aim is the attachment of Swarala, that is, self-government by peaceful and legitimate means. For the last four years it has sought to attain its end by non-violent-co-operation with the government.

LIBERTY HALL, New York, Sunday Night, May 25. — Tonight's meeting sound Liberty Hall filled nearly to capacity—the largest crowd that has attended for quite a few weeks. The meeting was full of life and enthusiasm and the spirited addresses together with a splendid musical program contributed to making the meeting one of the most successful since the absence of the President-General, Hon. Marcus Garvey. Chief among the announcements was a telegram from Mr. Garvey extending greetings to Liberty Hall and intimating his return to New York on next Sunday, when he will speak in Liberty Hall at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and also at the Fashion Show to be staged by the Ladies of the Royal Court of Ethiopia in Liberty Hall on Thursday night, May 29. This event promises to be a magnificent affair and no paints are being spared to make it one of the most gorgeous of the kind ever held in Harlem. The speakers were Hon. P. L. Burrows, Secretary-General, and Hon. G. E. Carter, First Vice-President of the New York Local. Mr. Burrows spoke on the subject of "The World's Biggest Job" and, going back as far as the creation, enumerated the men who in his opinion had shouldered the world's biggest job in their time. This led him to say that the world's biggest job at the present day was placed upon a member of our race. Outside of Jesus Christ, he declared that the biggest job that any man has ever shouldered from Creation to the present time is the job which is shouldered by Marcus Garvey. It is the biggest job because it undertook to call from every nation, from every tongue, from every rock people under one universal gospel—the gospel of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, which was the gospel of material salvation for the Negro race. He made an earnest plea for the whole-hearted support of the race in all parts of the world in the putting over of the program. Mr. Carter spoke on the significance of Memorial Day and deplored the fact that the Negro as a race had no particular day which all black people could respect and honor as being their natal day. Such days as they now celebrate were memorial days to them because of some great event in the lives of another race of people brought about by some effort of theirs and not through the efforts of the Negroes as a race. But, said he, the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association look forward to the day of African redemption as the coming memorial day in which all Negroes can take part with the full realization that an honor has come to them which they and the world recognise. Following are the speeches: Hon. Percival L. Burrows was the first speaker and took for his subject, "The World's Biggest Job." From creation, he said, even to the present day, at all stages of the world's existence, there has been some"one who shouldered the world's biggest job at that particular stage. God gave Adam the first big job, but Adam fell and could not make good. God gave him the Garden of Eden to tend and he gave him the wonderful privilege of not only tending the Garden of Eden but to populate the earth. Adam succeeded in populating the earth, but he failed to tend the garden without breaking the commands of God. We find Noah placed in a position of responsibility—shouldering the world's biggest job, preparing men and women for the coming judgment which was pronounced upon them in the deluge. The men and women of his day simply laughed at the gray headed old man while he labored asiduously day in and day out preparing the work of keeping intact the civilization of his day and the people that were to continue to populate the world. From Noah we find Moses called upon to shoulder the world's biggest job of leading the Children of Israel out of the land of the Pharaohs under which they had been held as slaves for 400 years. Skipping from Moses we find Christ assuming the greatest job that ever shouldered by anybody. And although He had divine principles in Him; although He had the protection of His Father; although He came with powers supreme power to do everything He chose—to make His own way, yet He suffered, clothed in mortal flesh and fell a victim to the wicked wiles of mankind. Coming down the ages we find Martin Luther coming upon the scene shouldering the world's biggest job, defying the Church of Rome in tackling to the door the principles which made the reformation possible. In warfare we find such men as Napoleon, and before his time Charlemagne and Attila the Hun, shouldering the world's biggest jobs; we find Alexander the Great shouldering the world's biggest job, accomplishing the same and crying for more worlds to conquer. At the present day we find the world's biggest job placed upon the shoulders of a member of our race. Many of you may ask, why is it the world's biggest job. I proclaim from this platform without fear of contradiction, that outside of Jesus Christ, the biggest job that any man has ever shouldered from creation to the It is the world's biggest job because he has undertaken to do what no other man has ever succeeded in doing, but Christ; that is, to call from every nation, from every tongue, from every flock, people under one particular universal gospel. The gospel of the Universal Negro Improvement Association means just as much to the Negro as the gospel of salvation. It is the gospel of material salvation, 'Gospel means good news, and the gospel of the Universal Negro Improvement Association is the good news of the material reviving of Ethiopia's ancient glory; the material bringing about of the Negro's independence, not only in America, not only in the West Indies, not only in South and Central America, but the bringing about of independence for Negroes throughout the entire world. A Great Task Marcus Garvey's job for excels King George's: it is much bigger than the Pope's, for, although he controls the myriads of Catholics, he is dealing with one particular sect of people. King George deals only with the British Empire: The late Emperor of Germany dealt only with the Germans: the King of Spain deals only with the Spaniards; the President of France deals only with the subjects of France, and so on down the line: Marcus Garvey is dealing with Negroes throughout the entire world, encircling the entire globe from North to South, from East to West. Marcus Garvey is dealing not only with Negroes throughout the entire world, but with the present population of the world—1,700,000,000 living people—and hite majority of them are against the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Therefore it is the world's biggest job. A bigger job never was undertaken, and I am glad to say that no man gave Marcus Garvey this job. No bunch of white men got together and gave Marcus Garvey this job as they did DuBois; but Marcus Garvey created this job for himself, and I say to you from this platform that if you fail to support him and help him put over this program you are not worthy of the name you bear. The Universal Negro Improvement Association is calling upon every member of the race to work for the ulti- more information of our fellowship; to work for the revival of kindleholding ecclesiastical glory and building yourselves an centre in Arden where you belong. You cannot feel of home in the white marsh country, although there are some who will say they are contented and would rather sit and pine at the foot of the white man and shine his shoes and gild. dishes and wait table and run elevators and be kicked around as slaves, than to fight for the redemption of our motherland, because it means to them individually no particular good; but the ultimate good will come to the members of our race, and what is the sacrifice of an individual in comparison to the good of the whole. Each one of us has his part to play. That man is damned who fails to assist in defending his rights and, making for himself an independent place where he can also out an existence or work out a salvation for his posterity. Men and women of the race, it is your time and it is your turn now to do your part. The white man has carried you long enough and has been kind enough to give you jobs. It is time now that you woke up and helped the man who has come and shouldered the greatest job that any man ever shouldered for his race. Put the program over and plant the Red, the Black and the Green on the very highest pinnacle in Africa. (Applause.) HON. G. E. CARTER SPEAKS The next speaker was Hon. G. E. Carter, who said: This is known as Memorial Day, and we are observing Memorial Day not as a nation, not as a race, but as individuals. And then you ask the question why are we observing Memorial Day as individuals rather than as a people—rather than as a nation? The answer is plain. We are so situated in this world that we find ourselves scattered throughout the world—in every section of the world. Therefore, as a nation we have no particular day at this time which all the black folks can respect and honor as being their natal day. As a face we have memorial days in different sections of the world according to some prominence that may have come into our lives at the expense of the other fellow rather than through our own efforts. Let me amplify it: The people who live in the islands of the sea and who have a day that they celebrate are celebrating this day because of something that came to benefit them through some other group. The Negroes in America cannot celebrate this day as a race because we have had singled out for us individual efforts rather than the things that are calculated to affect the whole race. Some may take exception to this statement, but I can substantiate my position by bringing to you an illustration from history. Take the first war that was ever fought in this country; it was the war between England and America. The Negro in America was a slave at that time, and the Negroes as a race did not take a part in the Revolutionary War; but there were certain individuals who took a part in the Revolutionary War and therefore out of honor to the memory of the individuals we can observe this day. One Negro who stood out in prominence was Crispus Attucks, for instance; therefore we share a part in this day because of this valor and because of the part that he played on the village green of Lexington. The Negro as a race did not play his part in the World War of 1914, but as an individual. There were certain Negroes who assisted materially in that war, but the Negroes as a race did not play their part. When we come to the Civil War, surely the Negro did not play his part in that war as a race. He seemed to have been the bone of contention because there were thousands of Negroes who lived in the Southland who stayed there and protected their masters homes while the master went out to keep them enslaved. Celebrating as Individuals Celebrating as Individuals So as a race we cannot celebrate today, but as individuals we can honor the day and pay tribute to those to whom tribute is due. But, friends, we who belong to the Universal Negro Improvement Association are longing for the day to come when black men and women throughout the world shall have a day that shall be memorial day to them in the sense that some honor has come to us that we and the world can recognize; some nigerty event has come into the life of a race and nation and people; and we know full well that that day shall come, for we dream not in vain; we sigh not without hope, but we sigh rather with a determination that the day shall come when black men and black women shall be domiciled on the far shores of Africa and, then that will be a day of days to us; it will be a Memorial Day that we can all take a part in. And when I think of that day it will be absolutely necessary for me to think of the man and of the men who have labored to give us this day. I must think of those who have struggled; those who have been misunderstood; those who have been ridiculed; those who have had the finger of scorn pointed at them; those who have gone forth struggling as it were upon the rugged steeps, and step by step, though their feet may have been pierced by the ruggedness of the way, still they were determined to put an arduous task over; and because of the determination in this direction they went on even in the face of deterring circumstances. We must take into consideration that if the Negroes of the world will have a Memorial Day, surely that day will have its birth in the coining of Marcus Garvey and the things that he has labored for. There can be no day to the Negro that will be full of meaning, that will be full of real interest unless that day has inculcated in it the name of the BLOOD AND MEDICINE THAT WILL HELP YOU In your emergency high alert, treat, need?

And because of his Interest in this direction, surely that day will be full of meaning to us who are followers of Garvey and adherents of the principles of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. And then we must think of others who have gone by his side, and as we think of others who have gone by his side, whether they live or whether they have passed into the great beyond, when this Memorial Day for which we long and sigh shall come, those men will have their rightful place and the Negroes throughout the world will be able to understand and know that there were some of us who walked by the side of Marcus Garvey, who were sincere and earnest in the cause that he espoused and, therefore, we clung with a buildup tenacity that the program may be put over in spite of the odds that came against us. (Applause.) TO OUR FALLEN HEROES We publish by request in The Negro World the following poem by Sergeant Greenleaf B. Johnson of Company B. 372d Infantry, A. E.

A poor, those of the Christian faith and those not of it, have the gospel preached to them. Whether the Bible is the most wonderfully read book of all books, and whether those who have the gospel preached to them understand, are questions apart. Our observation has been that nearly every Christian family we know has a copy of the Bible in the house, but we have not observed that the copy was read very much. So with the gospel; those who have it preached to them do not always appear to understand the preachment, or shape their conduct according to Christian doctrine as taught by Jesus and formulated into a system of ethics by Paul. It is not that way with the followers of Israel, Buddha, Mahomet and Confucius; they are supposed to know and to comply with their laws of the spirit, and they usually do. It is announced that, for the second time in its existence, the American Bible Society's annual issue has exceeded 7,000,000 volumes of the Bible, and that more than half of these volumes are demanded by the Orient. It is also stated that there is an ever-increasing interest in the Bible, which now circulates in more than 175 languages and dialects, of which 100 are in the United States. One hundred languages and dialects are spoken and read in the United States, representing one hundred different race groups and types, and there are mouthy people who prate of race purity of blood and Nordic superiority and supremacy in the United States! Where do they get the insolent and insulting idea? The American people are the most mixed in race and blood of all the existing nationalities, and the mixing was never going on more actively than now when the 100 per cent American yawpers are loudest in their yawps. It is a matter for thought that half the issue of 7,000,000 Bibles is required to meet the demand of the Orient. That indicates that the people of Asia and Africa and the Islands of the Seas are seeking for new truth, for new spiritual life, with the hope that they may find it, perhaps, in the Bible of the Christians. If they do not find it in the Bible, they will begin another search for it. By that way truth is found, always after much searching after it. POLITICAL SERVITUDE GIVEN A JAR WE are all interested in the fact that the Bethel and Zion branches of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, in their General Conferences at Louisville and Indianapolis, expressed dissatisfaction at the treatment which the Negro race has received from the Republican party, especially since the administration of President Roosevelt and, to all intents and purposes, declared that the political servitude of the race must cease if the race hopes to gain anything from the exercise of its privilege to vote and be voted for. The attitude of the two Methodist bodies is something entirely new in the political thought of the race, and especially on the part of the bishops and ministry, which have been unwaveringly partisan during the past fifty years, and with good reason, dictated entirely by the peculiar conditions which hedged the race about in the exercise of its citizenship. Except in the administrations of President Grant and President Roosevelt, the Republican party has never shown a disposition to give its Negro partisans the consideration, in legislation and in appointments to office, that they were entitled to, estimated by the average value of group voting. But, while the Republican party has, for the most part, let us alone, especially in the matter of legislation, the Democratic party has persistently nagged and gagged us. Politically we have been crucified between a political Scylla and Charybdis. We used a new political birth. It is quite interesting to note that while the bishops and clergymen of the Bethel connection read the political riot act the lay delegates did nothing of the kind. Under the leadership of Mr. Charles E. Mitchell of West Virginia and Mr. W. H. C. Brown of Virginia, members of the late All-Race Commission to the Virgin Islands, the lay delegates voted the usual endorsement of the Republican administration. The political situation in the country is very muddled at this time, with much demoralization apparent in both the two great parties and with commanding leadership and well defined policies entirely lacking in both. The Negro World, therefore, can look on and mark time until the atmosphere is clarified by the action of the two conventions in June. And, suppose the atmosphere should rather be densified? It is to suppose. EDITORIAL OPINION OF THE NEGRO PRESS The Negro World does not knowingly accept questionable or fraudulent advertising. Readers of the Negro World are currently requested to invite our attention to any failure on the part of an advertiser to adhere to any representation contained in a Negro World advertisement. AFRICAN REPATRIATION NOT THE ONLY DEFINITE PURPOSE THERE are some intelligent Negroes who do not need to be ignorant of the purposes of such an organization as the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and whom we do not consider so to be. They make it appear that they are ignorant to "make a period round" by a malicious sacrifice of the truth. All are not built that way, but most are. They go on the old saying that "all is fair in love and war," but the old saying bristles with falsehood, which overtakes those who flirt with it, if they flirt with it long enough. Dean Kelly Miller, the father of The Sanhedrin, which Dr. Du Bois declares in the May Crisis accomplished nothing worth while at its recent meeting, shows that he was badly rattled by the criticism, which was one of the things ain't at by the oily doctor, who has a fine knack of rubbing the hairs the wrong way. In one of his recent syndicate letters Dean Kelly Miller, among other things, says: "The American Negro is floundering about as a fish out of water or as sheep without a shepherd. There is not now, nor can there be any effective race leadership until the race determines where it wants to be led. There must be formulated an aim and ideal toward whom the whole group is impelled to move." As such none have been formulated, with the possible exception of the African repatriation which is so ardently advocated by Marcus Garvey. This ideal was not originated by Mr. Garvey, but merely adopted and adapted by him. It is as old as the colonization scheme. The only new feature added is that the movement should be directed by the Negro himself, and not by the manipulation of white philanthropists as all previous proposals have been. Here is indeed set up a definite and well understood objective. The chief objection is that it is not practical and does not commend itself to the sensibilities of the vast majority of the Afro-American people. What is needed is an ideal that is just as definite and tangible which will operate here in America. The organizations and agencies in the field are mainly remedial, and have little vision beyond removal of painful grievances. Equality with other peoples is at best a very low aim to set up as the goal of any group. It merely puts us in a position to pursue unhindered the higher ideal for which we strive." That is to say, Dean Miller candidly admits that neither his Sanhedrin nor Dr. Du Bois' Association for the Advancement of Colored People embodies "an aim and ideal toward which the whole race group is impelled to move," and that it has "no shepherd." "no effective race leadership," with the possible exception of "the African repatriation so ardently advocated by Marcus Garvey." Now, if Dr. Du Bois would be equally candid, the world would look brighter to him and he might look brighter to the world. "The repatriation idea may not be original with Marcus Garvey, any more than the repatriation of Cunagi by the Israelites was with Moses, and there is no new thing under the sun," saith the preacher; the main point is that African repatriation is not the only object of the Universal Negro Improvement Association; arousing the race consciousness of the African people in Africa and in the lands where they are scattered to a realization of their own individuality and the natural rights which are theirs, and which they should enjoy in Africa and in the lands where they are scattered, in their own governments or in the governments of which they are citizens, or subjects without, the rights of citizenship, goes along with African repatriation as day follows night. More: It is necessary, as a part of the work of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, that the race should safeguard as far as can be their privileges and immunities as citizens or subjects of the countries where they are, and to tight always for a fair return for labor or products of labor which they may have and others may desire. The zeal for more education for their children has inspired members of parent-teacher leagues in several rural sections to lengthen the school terms from five and six to seven and eight months, by private subscriptions. Admire as the is, it is a shame upon the State that it has to be so. Children in the rural districts when grown up must compete with their brothers of the city in life's activities. They have the right to equal opportunities to prepare themselves—Nofolk, Journal and Guide. In it is not only our race whose salvation lies in the recognition of the absolute equality of all men to face the law, but the responsibility of the very government itself depends upon the recognition of the great principle. Newport News Star. There is no more searching test of the human spirit than the way it behaves when fortune is adverse and it has to pass through a prolonged period of disappearing failures. The man who can take hard knocks and come up smiling, who can have his main sail blown away, then rig a sheet on the hosepump and sail on, is the man of timest, deepest character. Nashville Clarion If Dean Miller does not think that the program we have outlined here, and which is as the breath of life to the Universal Negro Improvement Association, "is an ideal, just and tangible, which will operate here in America," as well as in Africa and in the lands where the race may be scattered, and which should "commend itself to the sensibilities of the vast majority of the Afro-American people," then we should have to conclude that he is too vague in his desires as to what the race requires to understand him. As we grow older, and the shadows begin to gingeren, and the leaves which seceded so thick in youth above our heads grow thin and show the sky beyond, and as those in the ranks in front drop away, and we come to sight, as we all must, of the eternal rifle-pits beyond, a man begins to feel that among the really precious things of life, more lasting and more substantial than many of these objects of ambition here, is the love of those he loves and the friendship of those whose friendship he prizes.—Baltimore Afro-American. It is the distinctive contribution to race history that Marcus Garvey has made, that he created an organization international in scoge, self-sustaining in all of its work, with the primary purpose of arousing the Negro people of the world to a lively sense of their personal and racial unity, with "One God, One Aim, One Destiny," with inherent right to so much of personal freedom and initiative under civil authority and return of economic values for labor performed or products owned and desired by others, as the most favored in any situation claim as "unalienable" and "enjoy," with repatriation of those who desire to return to Africa, preferably to a country owned and dominated by Negroes. No other Negro has accomplished as much in these vital matters as Marcus Garvey. Madatuna Gandhi has accomplished no more for East Indians and Leum and Trotsky have accomplished no more for the wronged and robbed A lot of men are a good deal like a merry go-round. They run around a lot, but never get anywhere--Rocky Mount Volcano. Cold Southern winds, didn't blow Nebraska this past winter back to Southern plainsations. This is borne out by the statement of a Southern white man, head of the passenger train. by aprilads, and what backtracking has been done is a mere trifle compared to the horde that left Georgia, South and North Carolina last summer and fall. There was not a heavy traffic North during the winter, due to the cold weather the Negro knew existed North of the Mason and Dixon line, but that cold weather did not send many Negro back—Seattle Enterprise. A grand solldown locates in a healthy body—Tampa Bulletin. The question of employment should be considered in the aspect of whether it is steady or periodic. As we are a people yet dependent upon the well of the Anglo-Saxon, it behoves us to conceive others with the trend of the times. The mills and muraqua tuning plants are periodic in their operation under present conditions. When work is plentiful and the plants are in full operation, we should plan ahead and save a portion of our earnings, so that we may have funds sufficient to take us over periods of readjustment over which we have no control—Pittsburgh American. Think only of yourself and sooner or later you'll have all day every day to do it—Detroit Independent. There must be some concerted endeavor, some nationwide movement, to prevent the children of the land from cutting short their education and so contributing to their own delinquency and that of the educational plan of the nation. The illiteracy of our people has then greatly reduced, the standard of thoroughness must be greatly enhanced. No one other thing means more to a democratic form of government, to a people experimenting on the historic question mark of the republic. Nothing means more to such a country than this grinding of prismatic facets on these diamonds in the mouth which the world's parentage has given us as hostages to the world—the boys and girls in school—Birmingham Reporter. "I am for economy" is a good slogan. - There are 28 colored operators, officials and managers of mines. - The First Standard Bank of Louis. The exclusion of the Japanese and Chinese from the United States, and the vexatious situation created just now by the Japanese question, which contains much more than the principle of exclusion, and which has thrown certain industries in California in which the Japanese were profitably engaged into confusion, was brought about in large part for the reason, more economic in character than racial, we are persuaded, that the Japanese are able to produce more and live on less than the American farmer and worker. A like condition has arisen in South Africa, where there is a loud demand on the part of white farmers, traders and workers that the East Indians shall be "segregated or deported." Why? For the same reason that the Japanese and Chinamen have been excluded from the United States; that is to say, they can produce more and live on less and sell their products more cheaply than Englishmen and native Africans, albeit the latter sympathize with the East Indians rather than with the Englishmen. Mrs. Sarojini Naida, the East Indian poetess, has been stirring up matters in South Africa of late to such an extent, speaking to large gatherings of her own people and native Africans, as to lead to what amounts to a demand in the white press of South Africa that she be more guarded in her arraignment of British oppression of the East Indians and native Africans' or be made to leave the country. There are only 166,000 East Indians in South Africa, with 1,500,000 whites and 6,000,000 native blacks, but they are better workers and traders and can live on less and produce more than the Englishmen, therefore the Englishmen demand that they shall be segregated or deported. Sir Abe Bailey, speaking in the House of Assembly, at Pretoria, May 1, says: "The Asiaties are a menace to the authority and the supremacy of the white races in South Africa. If equal social and economic rights were granted to the Asiaties in this country, we should be placing razors in their hands to cut our throats." And Sir Abe thinks the same about the native Africans, who are considered unworthy to enjoy any of the social, civil and economic rights enjoyed by white men. The thing stinks wherever the stench of it gets into the nostrils. And it will not be tolerated forever. The East Indian and the native African have reached that conclusion; so have we. I was moved to write this article mainly to show that racial antagonisms in Africa are very much the same as those in the United States, especially in our Southern States. When I visited Hawaii and the Philippine Islands I found the same condition of affairs. The white overlords are disposed to claim everything for themselves and will allow nothing to the black, the red or the yellow man, and he gets nothing except by cunning or by a brave front which refuses to back down. The white man nowhere is disposed to bully the Japanese, because he will not stand for it, but he does not hesitate to bully the Chinaman, the East Indian or the African. The Japanese have a government of their own, and they have the wit and the courage necessary to protect themselves from the arrogance and insolence of the white man. Black men, red men and yellow men have got to develop the same sort of wit and courage in the individual, the race and the nation, or they will not be respected in their social, civil or economic rights. Let us be thankful that the off-color people with the white man's foot upon their necks have begun to think and protest and strike back. They are ceasing to be dead people, and are showing that they have red blood in them, and therein is the hope, for a better future for them. Think, protest, strike back! That is the law of the survival the litter. WHAT WE BELIEVE THE Universal Negro Improvement Association advocates the uniting and blending of all Negroes into one strong healthy race. It is against miscegenation and race suicide. It believes that the Negro race is as good as any other, and therefore should be as proud of itself as others are. It believes in the purity of the Negro race and the purity of the white race. It is against rich blacks marrying poor whites. It is against rich or poor whites taking advantage of Negro women. It believes in the spiritual Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man. It believes in the social and political physical separation of all people to the extent that they promote their own ideals and civilization, with the privilege of trading and doing business with each other. It believes in the promotion of a strong and powerful Negro nation. It believes in the rights of all men. UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSN. MARCUS GARVEY, President-General January 1, 1924. HEALTH TOPICS By DR. B. B. HERBEN Of the New York Tuberculosis Association Of What Use Are Kidneys? Kidneys are mysterious things aren't they? A good many people have asked me what they do for a person. Let's start at the beginning of this story. You all know what kidneys look like, for you have been in a butcher's shop, at some time during your life and perhaps you have even eaten these organs, as they are considered as quite delicate by some people. The human, being, the kidneys are smaller than those you usually see in the shops. There are two of them, each one distinct from the other and separated by the backbone, and they lie partly covered by the twelfth or last rib. A kidney looks something like a lime bean and from the concrete surface there comes a tube which goes down to empty into the bladder. The brain is full of blood vessels which are disproportionately large in comparison to the kidney itself, and an amazing thing about these blood vessels is the fact that they pass along the entire blood supply of the body every few moments. This flowing of the blood through the kidneys is necessarily so thorough for the kidneys must take from the blood almost all the waste products, or poisons, which the body has collected, and send them down to the bladder in the form of urine to be emmixed. How clear it becomes to you that without this important structure, the kidney, life could not continue. A disturbance which makes it impossible for the kidneys to act properly will cause a damming back up to speak of the poisons into the blood, which will be forced to circulate them all around to the depriment of the organism as a whole. When, for reason of a mechanical obstruction, the urine cannot be voided, or when, because of disease, the kidney is unable to secrete the urine, the result will be that which is commonly called "uremic poisoning" or uremia. You all know of such cases in which the patient became delirious or lost consciousness and finally died. Sometimes there are convulsions in this condition. All these things occur because the toxins, or poisons, which should have been discharged but which have been retained, have reached the brain, there to cause disturbances not only of the brain itself but every part of the body controlled by the brain and its allied tissues. There are many forms of kidney disease which do not cause the extreme trouble and I will discuss these later. Strikebreakers and Mixed Labor Unions (From the Baltimore Afro-American) If contractors on city jobs in Baltimore plan the importation of outside colored men as strikebreakers, every effort should be made to keep them from doing so. In view of the fact that most of the men now out on strike are Italians who have opened their union to colored men on equal terms in a brotherhood of workers, the importation of colored scabs would not only inject the race issue into the fight, but would undo much of the work recently accomplished, here to open the doors of all union crafts to the race. These Italian, workers and colored men belong to the same union and meet together. If they lose in their demand for a minimum of 65 cents per hour for their work, it will automatically effect every colored laborer in the city. If they win, the colored men will win also. These contractors care nothing for the ultimate fate of colored workers. if they can but use them to keep wages low and their plan, if the report is true, to import outside colored labor, is nothing less than a cat's paw move to pull their chestnuts out of the fire. That the local colored men are standing squarely behind their white brothers is to their credit, and colored laborers outside of the city should refuse to come here and antagonize a group whose interests: are cementing colored and white workers in this city Some Live "Y" Activities Mr. Joseph Johnson, executive secretary of the Silver Club House, Gatum, Panama, will be the speaker at the "Y" meeting on Sunday, June 1, at 4 P. M. It will be remembered that Mr. Johnson was at one time member ship secretary of the West 135th Street Branch, Y. M. C. A., having resigned to take up his new duties in Panama. Bring your friends, both male and female, to the meeting on Sunday, and get some rare hand information on the country. An interesting series of talks will be given by Mr. L. V. Wright, of the Workman's Compensation Bureau, on the automobile motor. Through the courtesy of the Studebaker Company, a Studebaker motor has been placed in the Association for demonstration purposes. No admission is being charged for these talks, which will begin Tuesday, June 3, and last for six consecutive weeks. Tell your friends about this opportunity and attend. Camp Night was held in the "T" last Monday evening when a very attractive program was rendered by the Tortaata Girls' Glee Club and the Resolute Boys' Glee Club. Humorous scenes of camp life were rendered by Mr. Joe Siehler. Mr. F. James Bradley, woodcraft expert, of Massachusetts, was the main speaker of the evening and brought to the club from biweekly of camp material some very instructive and entertaining side lights. The program was arranged by the Y. M. D. Columbia Cubs and the Resolute Campers. A trial membership, good from today until September 8, is now open to any boy in the community. The committee will extend the services of the Association to more boys in the community. Any boy interested may secure this membership by applying to the Boys' Department.

Don't delay. (Continued from page 1) My own motive is to get forth all my energy in an attempt to save Indian (that is, ancestor) culture from responding destruction through modern (Western) culture being imposed upon India. The essence of ancient culture is based upon the practice of the utmost non-violence. Its motto is the good of all, including every living thing; whereas Western culture is frankly based upon violence. It, therefore, does not respect all life, and in its progress onward it has not hesitated to resort to wholesale destruction even of human life. Its motto is 'Might Is Right', and it is essentially individualistic. "This does not mean that there is nothing for India to learn from the West, for in spite of the acceptance by the West of the doctrine of 'Might Is Right,' the human touch has not altogether disappeared, in the West. The relentless pursuit of a false idol conceived as truth has opened the eyes of numerous men in the West to the falsity of that ideal. Wants Truth Sought "I would like India to copy that spirit of search for the truth in the place of being satisfied with tradition without question. But India can safely copy nothing before she has come to her own and realized that her culture has a very important place in the universe and it must be defended at all costs. The importation of Western culture by the British in India has meant exploitation of her resources for the supposed benefit of Great Britain. It has brought millions of people to the verge of starvation and it has almost emasculated a whole nation." The foregoing program is an attempt to prevent the impending ruin not by Western methods, but by Indian methods—namely, by internal reform and self-purification from the very bottom. To remove the curse of untouchability is to do penance for the sin committed by the Hindus of degrading a flesh of their own religionists. To remove the curse of intoxicating, drinks and drugs not only purifies the nation, but also deprives an immoral system of government of an immoral source of revenue to the extent of nearly twenty-five crores of rupees. "To revive hand-spinning and hand-weaving brings back to millions of cottages of India their supplementary industry, revives the old Indian art, removes the degrading pauperism and provides an automatic insurance against famine. At the same time it deprives Great Britain of the strongest incentive for Indian exploitation. For if India can clothes herself without importing foreign cloth and foreign machinery the relations between Great Britain and India become natural and almost idealistic. "They take the form, then, of a voluntary partnership, resulting in mutual benefit and probably benefit to mankind in general. Unity between the different religiousists of India prevents Great Britain from pursuing the immoral policy of divide and rule. The practice of non-violence in resisting exploitation and degradation, if it becomes successful, is likely to serve as an example for the whole world to copy. "In following out this program, mistakes and miscalculations have undoubtedly been made. Regrettable incidents have also taken place. But I make bold to say that no movement in which millions of people have taken part has yet taken place with no little bloodshed or interruption of the ordinary activities of the people." First Statement of Aims This is, I believe, the first conclusive statement of his aims, made by Mahatma Gandhi himself, that will have appeared in the English press. It will come with a surprise to most people, because of its economic rather than political character. The truth is not yet realized in England, that what is being aimed at by Mr. Gandhi is a revolution far more radical than any mere refusal to enter the Reformed Councils. It is true that he has con- [Picture of a woman in a dress with a bow on her head.] HON. MARCUS GARVEY Born in New York City, he began his education at the educational program. He has also taught the children with the manuals.

That change of heart, as he, H. W. Novemman has shown us, is long overdue in India. But the strange thing is that in England, this political question of the countrys seems to have overhauled all others. It appears to have hidden from view the far deeper, and more penetrating change of social and economic life which is, making India a new country, a country that will not merely be a dreary repetition of the dullness and drabness of the West. VETO OF BONUS BILL OVERRIDEN BY SENATE (Continued from page 2) continues," the Democrat arose and applauded loudly. The House on-Saturday, by a margin of 52 votes, overrode the veto, 313 to 78, thus putting definitely up to the Senate for the second time the final word on the legislation. In 1922 the House overrode President Harding's veto a soldier bonus bill by a vote of 258 to 54, but the Senate failed by four votes of enacting the measure into law, the vote being 44 to 28. On the original passage of the bill, this session, the Senate vote was 67 to 17. The bill provides for 20-year endowment insurance policies for-payments to veterans not entitled to more than $50 in adjusted service credits. Adjusted service credit, which would be the basis also of the valuation of the insurance policies, would be figured at $1 a day for home service and $1.25 a day for overseas service. The first sixty days could not be counted. The maximum is fixed at 560 days. All veterans up to and including the rank of captain in the army and Marine Corps and lieutenant in the navy would be entitled to the benefits of the bill. LET'S PUT IT OVER dated next January 1, while the cash payments would be nine months after enactment of the bill. Administration of the bill would be in the hands of the Veterans' Bureau. Loans would be authorized on the certificates up to 90 per cent of their current cash value after two years from the date of issuance. The Senate galleries were filled early. Interested parties flocked to the Capitol to lend their moral support both for and against the bill. The issue is certain to be reflected in the coming presidential campaign, and Senators had a line on what to expect from the interest manifested. President Coolidge's eleven hour rally for the veto took the form of a White House breakfast, to which he invited Senators Harreld of Oklahoma, Sierling of South Dakota, Cameron of Arizona, Philps of Colorado, McKinley of Illinois, Dale of Vermont and Keyes of New Hampshire. Mr. Coolidge impressed on his visitors that passage of the bonus measure over his veto meant that the national finances would be very badly tangled. He repeated that assumption of the burden, which he insists the bonus will entail on the national treasury, will mean that not only will the present finance reform bill which is now in conference be inadequate to meet the demands of government, but that even the original Mellon measure would fall. A veto must come if the bonus passes and then new methods of taxation, probably obsoxious to the average citizen, must be enacted. (Continued from page 3) would degree and receive the gratitude and good will of, every Virgin Island voter in New York and elsewhere during the coming election. Better Times Coming However, for them as for others, the day begins to down. Great things are on foot and going forward. Before long the Virgin Islands will be free from naval and prejudiced control and labor will come into its own again. There is a better time coming and we who see ahead are working and urging every Virgin Islander who can do so to buy land and to hang on to it. And those who are on the mainland would do well to invest some of their spare savings in real estate and other land holdings in the islands. Tnereby hangs a tale which our people should be wise enough to unravel for themselves. That was the keynote of the recent mass meeting, which packed Renaissance Casino to capacity, and at which meeting the Hon. Charles E. Mitchell of West Virginia, secretary of the Federal Commission to the Virgin Islands, so eloquently and masterfully expressed the wish and will of President Calvin Coolidge, the fair and honorable James J. Davis, Secretary of Labor, the Hon. Bascom Slemp, secretary to the President, and other fair-minded Americans connected with the Administration, that the Virgin Islands be placed on an economic foundation compatible with American ideas and ideals of progress and prosperity. To show that the Virgin Islanders who assembled there meant business the following resolutions testify, in which they make clear the whole situation as with a searchlight, and formulate their grievances and demands: Resolutions Resolutions on behalf of the Virgin Islands of the U. S. A.: We, the natives of the Virgin Islands resident in New York city and other parts of the United States and owing allegiance to the United States, desiring to enlist in our behalf that sense of civic justice and political freedom for which our common countrymen on this side are well known, have assembled in mass meeting in the city of New York on this 27th day of April, 1924, and, after due and deliberate consideration, have adopted the following resolutions: Resolved. That we, Virgin Islanders resident in New York city and in other places in the United States of America, whose native land is now a part of the United States, who have no other home but the United States, who owe no allegiance to any other government but that of the United States, are prevented from becoming citizens of the United States and voters therein, although we have no other allegiance to renounce. Thus we are quickers under the flag for which we fought and sacrificed during the late war, and are neither citizens, subjects nor aliens. We appeal to the Congress of the United States, in accordance with justice and the spirit of true Americanism, to decide now and give us our citizenship. And we also appeal to our fellow Americans who enjoy the spirit of citizenship to use their good offices in the name of our common Americanism to aid us in freeing our hands and feet, that we may stand side by side with them and do our part in helping to work out the problem of a common patriotism.

DO IT TODAY! the present organic not, which is not compatible with American ideas and ideals. That we denounce the present code of laws, under which justice is a farce, as barbarous, medieval and destructive, of that respect which citizens or subjects should have for the government under which they live. That we respectfully urge the Congress of the United States to establish in closer proximity to the Virgin Islands a Court of Appeals (than that at Philadelphia), so that the poor may get the full privilege of American judicial action. That the present judicial system which permits a police judge who convicts and a government's attorney who prosecutes the same case being one and the same person be abolished. That no person should hold more than one public office that demands pay. And we pledge ourselves to the task of bringing to the attention of the American people and the Congress, of the United States our grievances until we incline the ear of justice to our cause, remove the evils of which we complain and grant us the privilege of becoming American citizens so that we may feel proud of each other under the Stars and Stripes.

UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION FOR 1924-BIG GATHERING OF NEGROES FROM ALL PARTS OF WORLD The Universal Negro Improvement Association is now appealing to the members of the organization and members of the race everywhere to do their best to make the convention of 1924 the greatest of all our world conclaves. This year the organization is to discuss at its convention all those vital problems that effect the race and to lay down a solid base for the industrial elevation and development of our people. This year's convention will be far ahead in importance of all the other meetings and will call for a great deal of expenditure on the part of the parent body of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, hence this appeal is made to each and every one to contribute to our general and convention fund. Let every Negro give freely as much as he can afford toward this fund so as to assist the Association to carry out its work.

Although this division does not get the support to which it is entitled from the parents of the children in this province, still the children seem to feel that it is their duty to prepare for the day when they will be called upon to bear the burden of the battle which will eventually free Africa. On the 6th of May the children had charge of the program and rendered very beautiful selections. The program was as follows: Much credit must be given to the superintendent of the juveniles, who is also the chaplain of the division, for his untiring efforts in making the evening a success and the care which he gives to the children. The singing of the Ethiopian anthem brought a well arranged program to a close. FRANCISCO, CUBA May 5, 1924. On Sunday night, May 4, at about 7:56, the members officers and well wishers met and held a very interesting mass meeting under the auspices of the U. N. I. A. and A C. L. The meeting was opened in the usual way with the opening ode and prayer from the ritual. Several hymns were sung. The lesson for the night was selected from the book of Isaiah, Chapter 11, and was read by the chaplain. The text was taken from the last clause of the 11th verse of the above mentioned passage: 'O Lord, I am oppressed, undertake for me.' After a very eloquent sentence in the text that touched the hearts of the audience that had listened with rapt attention, the chaplain turned the meeting over to Miss Iris Robb, the body president. The body president, on taking the chair, ordered the communications to be read after which she made a short address in which the members were urged to support the U. N. L. A as it was their only salvation. Nurse Francella Coleman then rendered a solo, "Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem." Mr Stephen, vice-president delivered a very exhaustive address which was received with thundrous applause. Visiting Bro. S. D. Forest from Elia, brought us greetings from the newly formed division of Elia. He took us that although Elia had recently been formed, the members had made up their minds that they would be the premier division in the island of Cuba. The meeting was brought to a close with the singing of the anthem. On Monday night, April 21, 1933 this division held under the auspices of the U.N. L.A. and A.C. L. one of the greatest "rallies" ever staged by the local. Mr. E.D. Foster and his committee, namely, Charles W. Ephron, C. Isaacs, Jessiah Reed and the two presidents. Miss Iris Bobb, was good to make the function a success. Three countries and the U.N. L.A. A were represented as follows: Mrs. Maud McNabb, "Abyssine"; Mrs. J. Adlai, "Egypt"; Ml. & Evelyn Hamilton, "La HOUSEWIVES! LET ONE TODAY LATEST OUT! to our new new mail desk. No painting, no locking, just care on the board.

Before the votes were taken, a lumpity program was dispensed of. The representatives of the different countries were called upon to speak on behalf of their country. Egypt was called upon and delivered a forceful address. She raised $21. Next came "Abyssinia," who took the audience by storm and raised $37.50. "Liberia" followed, with a wonderful address, and her followers rallied to her and she collected $28.79. The U. N. I. A. then took the platform and received $23. Abyssinia, therefore, took the prize for raising the largest amount. A dance followed, which was enjoyed by all, who took part in it.

Nuestro elemento coopera en pro del éxito de la nueva corporación naviera—Esperamos ver nuestras embarcaciones navegando por todos los mares a partir de septiembre próximo—El continente africano única tierra de promisión en donde asegurar el futuro de la raza Señor; Me temo la-libertad de invitar a usted y a su distinguidia familia, amigos y simpatizadores de Cuba, para la celebración de una fiesta, humaneja a la fecha 20 de Mayo de 1902 en que se fundó nuestra república, cumpliendo 23 años aniversario de constitución, la que costara tanta sangre a los varones, que con su valor heroico, supieron sufrir multiples sacrificios para ver satisfechos sus ideales de que fuera libera e independiente como la deseara Céspedes, como la soñara Marti y como la hiciera Maceo. Tenemos en perspectiva y, con tal objeto nos preparamos para el día en que nuestro primer grupo de colonistas parta de estas playas, hacia la gran república de Liberia con el propósito de contribuir al desarrollo del país, convirtiéndole en una de las grandes naciones del untverso con la prosperidad correspondiente. El 20 de Mayo tiene un altar en corazón de todos los buenos cubanos, fecha magna en que apareció nuestra república en el concurso do los pueblos libres. Estamos muy obligados todos los cubanos residentes en New York en que este día no pase inarvertido en esta gran ciudad, que hay todavía cubanos que obtuvieron la goria de oir las arengas patrióticas del Apóstol Marti. Antes de llega a esta realización, hemos de redoblan nuestros esfuerzos para adquirir el primer vapor de la nueva corporación nayiera. El caso al presente es vapores, vapores y mas vapores, y todo miembro de esta organización debe poner de su parte con este objeto. Aquellos leales y siempre dispuestos a responder la llamada de la organización han hecho todo cuanto han podido en este sentido y queremos, que esta actitud se vea demostrada generalmente, para posibilizar a la nueva corporación la realalización de su proyecto. Espero de su nunca desmiente anor al suelo en que nació que nos honre con su presencia, porque entiéndo que la suprema dignidad del hombre es amar a su patria por encima de todas las cosas, ya en las glorias o en la desgracia. Esta es la labor a la cual todos debemos prestar cooperación. El presente y el próximo año, según hemos manifestado de antemano, serán los años prehistóricos de nuestra organización. Hemos delineado los planes que han de tender a mejorar generalmente nuestra condición actual, dirijiendo nuestras miras hacia nuestra propia salvación industrial. Todo ello será posible, prestando toda cooperación y patrocinando esta nueva corporación naviera, según consejo de la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra. El lugar de la celebración de esta fiesta será en 224 W. 129th St. a las 9:30 p. m., morada cedida galantemente por nuestro querido compatriota Sr. Florentino Morales. De usted atentamente.

Inmediata independencia Al pedir la independencia inmediata para Filipinas, la minoria del comité de asuntos insulares de la cámara cita las siguientes palabras del expresidente Roosevelt en 1915 debe darse la independencia a las islas lo más pronto posible y las del mensaje del expresidente Wilson en 1920: es nuestro deber cumplir la promesa que hemos hecho al pucho de las islas, de garantizarles la independencia a que tan honrosamente se han hecho acreedores: Declara también el informe que los filipinos mantienen actualmente un goblerno estable en las islas, que estan preparados para el gobierno propio y que el pueblo de los Estados Unidos no debe continuar hacia el pucho filipino una política que esta sujeta a cambios a cada administración. Debemos tener embarcaciones para asl poder hacernos cargo de los intereses industriales y comerciales de nuestro pueblo universalmente; debemos estar en posición de poder transportar nuestros productos naturales, y colocarlos en los distintos mercados del mundo, asl como también en nuestras propias fabricas, para crear nuestra propia fuente pecuniaria que nos libre de la terrible crisis que nos amenaza en el mundo industrial. Si hemos de subsistir, debemos hacer esfuerzos para ayudarnos mutuamente y por lo tanto nuestra organización advierte a todo miembro progresista de la raza el ir a la república de Liberia, en donde pueda convertirse en parte integrante del adelanto industrial de aquella tierra de promisión; y no solamente debe nuestra elemento contribuir al desarrollo y adelanto de Liberia, sino que debe también, bajo la dirección de la organización, asistir en el descenvolvimiento de todas las naciones y de todas las comunidades de nuestra raza; de ese modo hemos de fortalecernos en la gran lucha por la subsistencia del mejor modo preparado para ella. Refriendiose a la amenaza japonesa, dice la minoria del comité. Creemos que las relaciones existen entre los Estados Unidos y las Filipinas serán motivo de que los primeros se resientan de cualquiera injusticia contra las Filipinas por cualquiera otra nación. Existen algunos que urgen que hay peligro innimente de guerra entre los Estados y el Japon y que debiéramos retener las Filipinas con fines estrategos. Ciertamente que ninguno que abriga sentimientos cordiales para el pueblo filipino puede honraadamente hacer este alegato, porque la verdadera declaración demuestra que el ejercicio de nuestra soberanía sobre las Filipinas es una amenaza a su pueblo de parte del Japon. Nuestra retención de las Filipinas significaria, en caso de una guerra entre los Estados Unidos y el Japon, que las islas serían el campo de batalla, sosteniendo así la observación hecha por el expresidente Roosevelt en 1915 de que la posición de las Filipinas es una amenaza para la defensa nacional de este país. El día ha de llegar, y por ello hacemos al presente grandes esfuerzos, cuando la cruz negra, como símbolo de nuestra marina mercante, se vea por todos los mares del universo transportando nuestro comercio; por esto todos y cada uno de hemos de laborar. No existe dificultad alguna en la realización de este proyecto, toda vez que unidos todos nuestros esfuerzos y todos nuestros sentimientos patrocinemos nuestra propias empresas, velando siempre por la dirección adecuada de ellas. Esta es la hora suprema en que todo miembro de la organización y todo elemento leal de la raza deba afiliarse y tomar parte en este gran movimiento, el cual presigue a toda costa la salvación todos. Con la asistencia industrial y educativa de nuestro elemento progresista, hemo de repetir, la república de Liberia será tan invulnerable en el continente africano, como lo es cualquier otra nación predominante en cualquier otro continente. Dentro de pocos años más veriamos erguirse en la parte accidental de aquel continente, una nación poderosa, a la vez que protejiendo, velando por los intereses generales de la raza. Estamós en la obligación de aportar con todo nuestro concurso en tal dirección, cuyo resultado práctico redundará en nuestro propio beneficio, toda vez que la instalación de dicha república fue basada en los principios de adelanto y protección para con nuestro elemento. La patria sobretodo Ante la desatentada conducta de los pretensos regeneradores de la Patria,—dice *El Triunfo*—produciendo el actual movimiento, más alarmista que efectivo, la responsido el país entero con su más absoluta, repulsa. Estamos en plena era de prosperidad, aumentada precisamente por la confianza que inspira el actual gobierno del doctor Zayas, ordenado y justo, suficiente para garantizar la paz material y para robustecer la paz moral. El elemento industrial de otras razas, no lo filósofos, han constituido sus respectivas naciones; el elemento industrial de la nuestra ha de restituir a Etiopia su antigua gloria. Para nosotros no es esta una edad de filósofos, sino una era de labor; los filósofos son naturalmente los ociosos de la civilización, y nosotros no podemos patrocinar el ocio a costas de nuestro progreso. El negro moderno y de inteligencia progresista no está grandemente interesado en la filosofía de Sócrates o de Platón, como lo está en la filosofía de las necesidades humanas. Estamos interesados en la filosofía de ayudar al necesitado y de destruir la ignorancia por medio de las prácticas de sentido común; de estas dimana el elemento que produce, destruyendo al elemento que solamente consume. Tal es nuestra filosofía Un pueblo que disfruta de relativa abundancia y bienestar y que es gobierno con absoluto respeto a la Libertad y la Democracia, donde no se registran persecuciones y donde cada cual se siente suficientemente libre y garantido, do podia convertirse en agente de desorden porque a media docena de descontientos se les ocurre producir un estado de perturbación. El-pais, pues se halta en su puesto, cada cual dedicado a sus labores, y no hay un solo hombre sensato-capaz de sumarse a los revoltosos que no pretenden mejorar la administración ni recificar los procedimientos de gobierno-sino, simplemente, entrar a saco en las arcas del Tesoro, ahora que se encuentran sopladas. Los revoluciones son cibernéticas cuando los governantes los invitan sus demochos. Para cuando no hay quejas ni discutentes por casos verbalesamente fundamentales, no hay pueblo que se subleve. La actual algarada, que llegó al maximum a que podia alcanzar, va almacenamiento a su fin. Mo han ayudado a los alados los elementos populares, que son los que en todos los países dan fuerza o las protecciones, por el contrario, el Ejecutivo se ha visto robustecido con las adhesiones de los demas poderes y con el apoyo tacito de todo el país que ha vuelto la espalda a los promotores del movimiento, incapacites de inspirar confianza. Estamos próximos al restablecimiento de la normalidad, que es y debe se impurtable, porque de la paz y la tranquilidad han de surgiñ todas las venturas y satisfaciones del pueblo, y la consolidación de la república, en favor de la cual, prestos a su defensa, se hallan todos los ciudadanos sensatos de Cuba.— La Vos de la Razón, Habana. Indemnización a un periodico El senado ha aprobado un proyecto, que ha pasado a la cámara para su ratificación, en el cual se provee el pago de setecientos cincuenta pesos al senor Salvador Buitrago Diaz, proprietario del diario La Tribuna, de Managua, Nicaragua, por dos causados a su propiedad por las tropas de infantería de marina de los Estados Unidos el 6 de febrero de 1921. La recomendación de que el proprietario del diario fuera indemnizado fue hecha en carta reciente al congreso por el presidente Coolidge, a la cual adjunto el informe que sobre el caso presentó el secretario de estado Hughes y la recomendación en el mismo sentido del secretario de la marina. El incidente, como se anunció mediatamente que occurrir en febrero de 1921, dio lugar en ejencia LET'S PUT IT OVER miento ante una corte marcial de los marinos acusados como autores del delito, concluyendo por sentencia condenatoria. El hecho en cuestión fue que un grupo de infantaria de marina de los Estados Unidos, con licencia en la capital de Nicaragua, rompieron las puertas de dicho diario *La Tribuna*, penetraron al interior y causaron algunos daños considerables en la imprenta. Al ser interrogados, los soldados contestaron que lo habían hecho en represalia por un artículo que apareció en dicho diario el dia del atentado en el cual decían que se atacaba a la moral de los marinos y que estos declaran contenía declaraciones falsas. Burla a este país en Francia El equipo americano de football es burbillo en Francia; la bandera de los Estados Unidos es silbada; y hay patriotas en este lado del Alintico que verán en el incidente una ocasion para echar calones al frente. Francia se ha separado ya tanto de los Estados Unidos que una multitud francesa esta dispuesta a insultarle. Se ha leido algo parecido a este incidente de Paris anteriormente. Hace poco menos de uno año un boxeador francés llamado Criqui subalí ring en Nueva York. La multitud el silbil al ser presentado; siguió mofandose cuando se hallaba ciego y ensangrentado y demasiado mareado para saber donde se hallaba su adversario y le dió un golpe aceitadamente bajo. Se le grito; caes la clase de campeón que ces. Los deportes excretan dos clases de emociones, con las que el sentido de equidad hacia siempre; el deseo de vencer y el odio al extranjero que es la mercancía que utiliza el patrirotero. En Paris, como en Nueva York, estas dos pasiones genuales han tenido su oportunidad. Son instructivas como exhibición del modo de proceder de las multitudes, pero como evidencia de ningún sentimiento nacional no tienen absolutamente nada que demostrar. Panamá y el nuevo tratado Se tiene entendido que en el nuevo tratado el departamento de cudaha pesado muy bien todos los alegatos hechos por Panamá, dada las concesiones pactadas por la república, como las referentes a refacción de rutas, colocación de puentes para el paso de tropas de los Estados Unidos y establecimiento de bases acreas para la defensa del canal. Se cree que los puntos relativos a la cuestión económica, en relación con el comercio de la zona del canal y sobre lo cual el presidente Porras conferenció hace algunos meses con el exsecretario de la marina norteamericana y envió más tarde a Washington un memorial, han sido debidamente tomados en cuenta en el nuevo tratado. Un Velo modificado La lucha de cisos años para provener un bono para las veteranos de la guerra mundial, en número de cuatro millones, las ganado al fin a pesar de la oposición del presidente y la dura condenación de la medica. El senado represente el último acto al hacer posible la recompensa aprobando la ley del bono por sobre el veto del presidente Coolidge. Este ya habia aldo-nulificado por la cimara al aprobarlo con el voto de las dos terceras partes, por lo cual ha quedado convertido en ley de la reebabilla. No será pago al contado; como lo podía el proyecto que vetó el presidente Harding en 1921, no pudiendo entouces el congreso pasar por sobre el vetel del presidente debido a que no habían los dos tercios necesarios para el caso. El pago será en forma de poliza de seguro de por vida y la cual feudra el valor de un empireat al contado al cabo de dos años y que puede ser hecho efectivo al fin deeinte años. El valor de la poliza se determinará por la duración de los servicios de cada individuo, al tipo de un dollar por dia en el servicio, interior y de un dollar veinte y cinco centavos por dia en el servicio exterior. El promedio de las polizas viene así a oscilar entre novcecientos y mil pesos. Las galerias estaban repleta y ocupados los asientos del senado cuando se corrió el escritorio en medio de gran excitación. Cuando el presidente del senado anuncio que el proyecto habia sido probado a pesar de las objeciones del presidente de los Estados Unidos, un tremendo aplauso responjo por el salón, comunicándose en seguida al presidente Coolidge, que se encontraba recogido en las Casa Blanca debido a que hace pocos días contra un resfriado. El aplauso se prolong en medio de vivas y exclamaciones. Pagando el precio El congreso tuvo su gusto en el asunto del bono. La cuenta por los días sera enviada más tarde. Mile-de millones de pesos significan que los contribuyentes tendran que renunciar a la esperanza de conservar cuantos millones de los que entregan al tesoro federal. Este resultado inevitable fue visto claramente desde el principio. Tanto el secretario Mellon como el presidente Coöhledge informó fuente al congreso que si se ponía en vigencia la ley del bono, no podía tener lugar ninguna reducción consistente en las contribuciones. Es todavía posible que el veinicicino por ciento de reducción en los impuestos de este año puede ser autorizada. Pero en 1925 la que tenemos que esperar no es una múltiplication en los impuestos existentes, sino la imposición de nuevos. El presidente Harding insistió en que no se aprobaría una muga, ley del bono sin que se establiciera una muga contribution para hacer frente a las obligaciones que arrojaría solute el tesoro. El congreso alba acaba de encogerse de bombas ante este elemental principio de sensatez financiera, pero para el año próximo, a matar, tendrá que empezar a establecer las contribuciones especiales hechas necesarias para el bono. Seran solo una parte del precio La perturbación de la hacienda pública causada por el bono, el tónor de que el tesoro esté pronto camífero del deficit, puede dejar de tener efecto perjudicial en el comercio Estaba ya la situación en una fase en que se necesitaba algo para in fundir confianza. En vez de ella la recibido un nuevo golpe. No es cuestion de fluctuaciones de un día en las cotizaciones de la boda. Las cosas vitales y transcendales son la confianza en la conducción sensa de la hacienda del gobierno, la esperanza de que no se exigían de la industria mayores gobiernos. la posibilidad de hacer planes tomando en consideración el reuno porvenir. El congreso ha hecho cuanto ha podido por comover estas bases del espiritu de empresa americano. Hemos de ver como las personas prudentes se reservan. Se abandonariam grandes empresas para las que se habian hecho arreglos parciales. Es en estos indirectos resultados de la ley del bono que se hara visible pronto su carácter perjudicial y cososo. Una gran paralización en los neocios en un plazo de varios meses podría significar fácilmente la perilla de más de los tres millones más así que el congreso ha votado arremontante para el bono. ¿Qué de aprovechar a un veterano recibir cincuenta por ciento del tesoro le Washington si pierde su empleo y deja de recibir su sobre con el salario durante varias semanas. Aparte de todas las demás malas características del proyecto de ley del bono, es tan deplorable prueba de mala administración pública como pudiera desearse. Se sacan grandes sumas del tesoro sin hacer primeramente prescripciones para llevar ese dinero ahi. Lord Cromer decía una vez que la diferencia entre la gerencia financiera del gobierno egipcio, cuando el dirigía, y el gobierno británico estaba en que el pri- moro summa venida una conglomeración de fundas sin pedir saber de donde la a partir del dinero, matriz que el perfumado artesanal fracuente que es aculeaba a dipper de los fondas necesarias superando que en una forma u otra se reunieran. El confesaba quebajo el regimen autocrático se puede hacer lo que no podera hacerla bajo la democracia. Poro agregaba resummitenie que la artímetica continuaba siendo innutable bajo, los dos sistemas. El congreso ha procedido tan ligeramonte como si pudiera votar cambios en las reglas artímeticas. Fero no puede hacerlo. Podra conseguirse ventajas electorales como he tratado de obtenerlas, pero tendrá que pagarse las consecuencias, y las cifras inexorables de los ingres y gastos del tesoro no pueden alterarse en lo más minimo por el congreso. —N. Y. Times. Ampliando una autonomia La aprobación por el senado de la ley que provee la elección por los portorriqueños de su propio gobernador, es el tercer proyecto relativo a Puerto Rico. En ellos se provee el aumento de los salarios de los miembros del gabinete, la corte suprema, y varios otros functionarios del gobierno de la isla, así como la construcción de ciertos edificios para aduana. Habiendo sido aprobados ya por el senado y teniendo el apoyo del gobierno, coifiase en que su aprobación por la camara se acelera y que vendrán a ser leyes antes de que el congreso suspenda sus sesiones, para principios del mes entrante. Debido a la gran cantidad de uegocios, pendientes en la cámara de representantes, crece que será necesario se tome una decision especial para considerar la legislación para Puerto Rico, en lo cual se cuenta que no habrá dificultad y el comisionado residente Cordova Dávila, que ha unantido estas medidas en actividad, ha obtenido el apoyo de la administración para urgir su aprobación. Hace apenas pocos dias que el comisionado hablo con el presidente, conferenciando además con el secretario de guerra varias veces ambos funcionarios apoyan las medidas. Desde la partida de la comisión portriquenia Dávila ha estado activando la proyecto legislación. Su familiaridad con la maquinaria parlamentaria y el hecho de que es miembro del comité de la cámara sobre asuntos insulares, han cooperado a que el pudiera urgar esta medida hasta llevarlas a conclusión. El proyecto en que se provee por la elección del governor por el pueblo portorriqueño, fue aprobado en la sesión nocturna del senado. El comité territorial y de posiciones insulares lo habia informado favorablemente, habiendo sido convocado por el senador republicano Willis, que actuno de presidente del mismo durante las audiencias sobre estas medidas. Con la emienda que se le hizo, el proyecto provice que los portorriqueños elegían su propioobernador a partir de 1932, con la provisión de que puede tener antes si el porcentaje de analtabetismo en la laisa se reducía antes de esa fecha a un treinta por ciento. Al disuntir esta provisión, el senador Willis dijo que es un estimado al pueblo para ampliar sus facilidades educativas y crece que será beneficioso y no reusada por el pueblo portorriqueño. ```markdown ``` Interpretaciones No hay que exagerar el alcance de las originiadas de los pueblos. Todos los pueblos que están dentro de una cultura y de una de las grandes familias sinica, tienen capacidades parciales. El ciudad ideal no existe en ninguna parte. toda constitución política es artificial. Es un boquejo de la ciudad ideal, que va educando a los hombres, y en eso consiste acaso su principal virtud. En la historia de la civilización el micistico ha desempenado un inmenso papel. Para que el hombre llegue a ser ciudadano, es preciso que se le haga toniar parte en la comedia de la ciudadanía. Llegara a acostumbrarse y a saber el papel, y cuándo le sepa no querrá dejarle. Las constituciones externas tienen que prevalecer sobre la interna. - De otro modo el hombre no hubiera salido de la honda primit va. La civilización, es una derogación partial de la naturaleza, una obra de elevación. La democracia es una educación. Por ese uno de los primeros instrumentos de la democracia es la escuela. Los periodicos en que escribimos son parte de la gran escuela popular. Lo es también el Parlamento. Los pueblos son a veces nerezos en ir a la escuela. También lo son los escolares; pero ello es argumento contra la Escuela. Podría serlo contra los unaestres que no la ha atractiva; pero la misma pereza indica que hace mucha falta de Escuela, no solo para enseñar sino para formar el hábito. La intervención social El hermanamiento de Cordoba tomado muy seriamente en la principalidad por la dicha gracia no estó en el interde de Cordoba en el interde de los Bistros Villegas como garantizador de la matriz política en la jía, que el gobierno se derrinda por la guerra. Los vuredietos obesores del deben ser eliminados por los sucesiones. La administración ha presidido lo embarque de armas y musculares para los insurgentes cubanos y ejecución dispuesta aander armas y musculares al presidente Zayas, como lo hizo recientemente con el presidente Obregón. El actual gobierno cubano, como el mejicano, no ha demostrado una gran tendencia a escuchar las protestas americanas 6 atender las indicaciones americanas. Y no obstante, un régimen como el Zayas, establecido por una elección, recibirá el apoyo americano contra los insuroctos, simplemente porque representa la legalidad y el orden en politica. La obligación para con-Cube es de asegurar, hasta donde son posible, unas elecciones sinceras y hacer que los vencidos-gobiennes hasta el fin de su ternimiento. Esa es una regla pór la que muchos pales hispanoamericanos beneficianlan y que la diplomacia de los Estados Unidos trata de poner en práctica universal. El mundo que por tanto tiempo ha estado sabiendo de los antiguos dramas de las revoluciones hispanoamericanas, puede pronto darse cuenta del hecho de que la época del filibustero, del contrabandista americano de armas y del aventurero militar native ha pasado.

We are all gratified at.the awakened sense ‘of responsibility and obligation to their chiklren’ of the parents of the children of the race. “Those of ‘is who watch the army of children attending the public schools, not only of Harlem, but other communities, can easily judge of the sacrifices the parents are compelled to make to enable their children to make the decent appearance they do in the matter of clothing} and deportment, heeatse a majerity of ort parents are very poor and the cost of living is very high, while the average wages they receive is very small, as compared with what others in similar em- ployment get: yet, the appearance of our children and their deport- ment gn the streets will compare favorably with that of the children ‘of more favored graups—more favored in the matter of wage-carning and living conditions. And home influences have much, if not most, to do with the conservation of child life and the healthy develop: wast. of tt wind and body, the disposition and the character, of childhood. ° : . We shall have a stronger man and womanhood in the future. because of the close itttention that is being given to the physical and mental oversight and direction of the child life of the race, and the greater preparedness of an educated metherhood to, properly mature and develop child life in its home influences, And that we are getting an educated motherhood, not in exceptional cases but as a rule, iss matter of the greatest importance.and upon which we are entirely exeisable for congratulating ourselves. It is a good and healthy condition, at edueated motherhood, one which we can all glory in and de as much as possible,to extend and strengthen. ‘The editer of the Woman's Page of Lhe Negro World is intensely interested in this vital question af the conservation and narture of child life, and would be gratified to have expressious from the mothers of the race whe are readers of this page.

Déjà des plans ont été formulés par lesquels les conditions générales de la race dans le monde entier doivent être améliorées. Il importe actuellement que nous nous occupions seriously ennent de notre propre salue industriel. Ceci n'est possible que par une coopération intense en faveur de la Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company. Pour consolider les intérêts de la race dans le monde entier, des navires sont indispensables. De nécessité, il importe que le transport de nos denrées soit effectué par nos propres navires qui deharreront dans les divers ports où ces dites denrées trouveront sans difficulté un marche convainrable. Concurrenment avec ce mouvement transatlantique, nos usines et nos fabriques doivent fonctionner dans la développement d'une industrie nationale, et pour nous épargner en même temps la réaction terrible dont, comme race, nous sommes fortement menacés. Si toute fois la survivance de notre race doit être un fait accompli, ce fait accompli ne sera effectué que par nos propres efforts.

Le gouverneur général de l'Indochine, en se rendant à Tokio, va renouer une tradition suivie avant la guerre de 1914 par tous ses prédecesseurs, et, en dernier lieu, par M. Roume. D'ailleurs, les représentants de certaines possessions étrangères, les Philippines notamment, ont accompli de leur côté des voyages analogues au Japon. C'est en raison de l'intérêt tout particulier porté par l'Indochine au relevement du Japon, après la catastrophe de l'été dernier, que le gouverneur de la grande colonie française d'Extreme-Orient a été chargé de cette mission, qui a été décidée au début de l'année. M: Merlin viendra renouveler au gouvernement-japonais les condolences officielles de la République à l'occasion du cataclysme qui a provoqué dans toute la France le mouvement de sympathie et de solidarité qu'on n'a pas oblié. Il presentera, d'autre part, au prince regent, les felicitations du gouvernement français pour son récit marriage. Enfin, il présidera sans doute à la pose de la première pierre de la nouvelle ambassade de France qui doit remplacer les anciensDATiments détruits. Il est probable que les autorités japonais saisiront l'occasion du séjour. à Tokio du représentant français pour s'entretien avec lui des questions douanières qui interessent spécialement le Japon et l'Indochine et qui seront ultérieurement réglées à Paris. Ainsi pourrait s'amorcer un reserrement des relations économiques entre le Japon et la France. rapprochement qui est également désiré par les deux pays. Par contre, il est tout à fait inexact, comme on la pretend à Londres, que l'Indochine offre sur son territoire un débouché à l'immigration japonais. Le climat de la colonie française, sa population intense, ses conditions de travail même suffisent à marquer le caractère réalisable d'un projet que les autorités japonaises, du reste, déclarecent ne pas envisager. Au surplus, le fait que le gouvernement français ait délivré au Japon le gouvernement général de l'Indochine plaitôt qu'un diplomatate on honne politique, suffit à faire ressortir le caractère véritable de son voyage. D'autre part l'Agence Radio public l'information suivante: Contrairement à ce qui est annoncé, il n'est moulent question de conclure un pacte entre la France et le Japon. M. Merlin passera par Tokio pour regagner son poste, mais les conversations qu'il pourra avoir à cette occasion ne porteront que sur le trajé commercial en elaboration. Deux Epoques Analogues dans l'Histoire—XVIIem et XXem Siecles La République de Cromwell et celle des Soviets (Courrier des Etats-Unis) A la fin de 1652, sous l'Étiquette republique, Cromwell regain sur l'Angleterre en monarque absolu. L'année 1649 avait couronné son assement vers la toute puis-sance, cette année-là, il avait fait déposer puis décapiter Charles ler. Son gouvernement était devient le gouvernement légitime et les royalistes des révolts, les deux camps avaient fait l'échange de leurs qualités respectives. L'année suivante, la civile continuant, les royalistes furent cérasés définitivement. La campagne d'Irlande surtout confirma leur désastre. Criuel au-delà de toute expression, les ardeurs confessionnelles attisant les rivalités politiques, le protector avait fait couler des flots de sang. "L'Europe fut énue de la mort du roi d'Angletterre, écrit Albert Soelf dans son grand œuvre de "L'Europe et la Révolution française", mais chacun ne manifesta son emotion que dans la mesure où le comportaient ses intérêts. Les plus indignés furent la Hollande, qui était une république, et la Russie, qui subissait un despotisme barbare: la Hollande était en rivalité flagrante avec l'Angletterre, le tear de Moscovie n'avait rien à démler avec elle et ne la craignait pas." En France, Anne d'Autriche exerçait la regence pendant la minorité de Louis XIV. Femme de Louis XIII, elle était reine de France et née de Philippe III d'Espagne, elle était fille de roi. Elle avait pour premier-miistre Mazarin. "I semble, lui cécrit ce dernier au sujet des affaires d'Angletterre, que s'il'on se regle par les lois de l'honneur et de la justice, on ne doit point reconnaître cette république, quisque le roi ne saurait rien-faire de plus prejudiciable à sa reputation que cette reconnaissance par laquelle il abandonne l'intérêt du roi légitime son proche parent, volain et allié, ni rien de plus injuste que de reconnaître des usurpateurs qui ont squillé le-mains du sang de leurs couverain. Mais comme les lois de l'honneur et de la justice ne doivent jamais rien faire qui soit contraire à la prudence, il faut considérer . . . qu'un plus long refus de reconnaître la republique ne servira de rien pour augmenter on confirmer les droits du roi. Que d'ailleurs il ya suis de craindre que si les Espagnols sont une fois plus étroitement liés avec les Anglais, ils ne les empêchent de s'accommoder avec nous. Il ne reste donc pas lieu de douter, que l'on ne doive sans delai entrer en negociation avec la republique d'Anglerte, et lui donner le titre qu'elle désire." Le 21 décembre 1652, M. de Bordeaux, envoyé par Louis XIV fut admis devant le parlement anglais. It tint le discours suivant: "L'union, qui doit être entre les Etats voisins ne se règle pas sur la forme de leur gouvernement; c'est pourquoi, encore qu'il ait plu à Dieu, par sa providence, de changer celle qui était ci-desant établi; en ce pays, il ne laisse pas d'y avoir une necessité de commerce et de intelligence entre la France et l'Angleterre; ce royaume a pu changer de face, et de monarchie devrenir republique; mais la situation des peuples ne change point; les peuples d'meureurit 'tou- LET'S PUT IT OVER jours voisins et intéressés l'un avec l'autre par le commerce, et les traités qui sont entre les nations n'obligent pas tant les princes que les pouples, quisquils ont pour principal objet leur utilité commune." Louis XIV reconnut donc la republique révolutionnaire d'Angleterre et toute l'Europe la reconnut angrés lui. Peu à peu la question des rapports du gouvernement soviétique avec les Etats de l'Europe s'achème vers la même solution. En la forme, les circonstances, ne sont pas absolument pareilles à celles du 17e siècle, mais les motifs invoqués par l'Etatie et l'Anglaterre pour accorder aux soviets la reconnaissance "de jure" ne different pas essentiellement de ceux que M. de Bordemis titulav devant le devant le branilianique, échaires par l'Exposse de Mazarin, Assurement, l'Indignation de l'Europe à la nouvelle des ignomines soviétiques a écrou grande et a performent éintremement kopié en publicité; celle-ci a argüé des lois de l'humanité et de la morale comme Mazarin de celles de Thonneur, et avec plu d'intime conviction: "mais la situation des lieux ne change point; les peuples dementent toujours voient et interessent l'amour l'acteur par le commerce". "Que d'ailleurs il a sujet de crambe que si les polygons en l'espoce les Almenaillent une fois plus crambement avec les Anglais, en l'espoce la Russes, ils ne les empilment de saacommoder agence." Et l'on concrete avec Albert Sorrel: "Le réalisme implacable de la ration d'Etat Tempur sur tous les motifs tirés de Thonneur, de la religion et du droit civil." Confédération générale du Travail Japonais Le treziene congrès annuel de la Confédération generale du travail japonaise est termine et dans décisions significatives et ont été prises. Elle accepte cette année d'élé les représentants que les ouvriers japonais enverrouît à la conference internationale du travail qui se rennaît à Geneve au mois de juin prochain. La Confédération retraitait jusqu'à de proceder à cette election, parce que le gouvernement ne recommait pas encore légalement les syndicats ouvriers. La décision prise cette année est due à une intervention pressante de M. Jouhaux. En second lieu, la Confédération travaillera désormais à obtenir le suffrage universel. Elle abandonne ainsi son attitude antiparlementaire traditionnelle, pour ramener à elle les masses populaires qui se désincressaient du socialisme et du mouvement syndicaliste. REPUBLIQUE ARGENTINE Le gouvernement ayant signalé au supérieur des jésuites la campagne monnée par le jésuite espagnol Blanco contre le président de la République, le supérieur de l'ordre a invité ce jésuite à quitter le pays. D'autre part, une enquête effectue par la police aurait démontré que Mgr Ilvant, secrétaire de la nonciature, était responsable d'une campagne de publications analogues. Les journaux, émius par ces faits, demandent que des mesures soient prises. (L'Action Colonialc.) Nous entretentions les lectures de l'Action Coloniale dans notre dernière chronique à la Guadeloupe. Nous essayerons aujourd'hui de leur dire en quelques lignes comment se présente celle de l'enseignement primaire dans cette colonie. La guadeloupe, placée sous le même régime que la Métropole, a l'enseignement gratifié et obligatoire. Le personnel enseignant est laique. Les institutes et les institutrices sont d'excellents éducateurs qui, malheureusement, ne disposent pas de moyens suffisants, pour accomplier leur tache. Les enfants fréquentent les écoles irrégulièrement par suite de la situation matérielle de leurs families. Aussi nombreuses sont celles qui n'attendent pas que leurs progenitures atteignent quatorze ans pour les retirer de l'cole. Et parmi cette jeunesse, douce d'une intelligence brillante, s'assimilant rapideient les questions les plus difficiles du programme des études, combien de jeunes gens, faute de ressources, s'arrêtent au brevet de rapacité élémentaire. D'ailleurs, les moyens dont disposent les maîtres pour faire l'éducation intellectuelle de leurs élèves sont rudimentaires. Le matériel scolaire — cartes geographiques, laboratories de physique et de chimie, système nétique — manque totalement. Quelques ouvrages forment une bibliothèque qui rend de grands services à tous. Mais pour que tous les enfants puissent belfortier des bienfaits de la gratitude de l'enseignement, la création d'une Caisse des Ecoles simpose. Des renseignements qui nous sont parvus ces jours-ci, nous permettent d'esperer que, bieninté, la situation des jeunes guadeloupeiens sera améliorée. Ils pourront fréquenter régulièrement l'école grâce aux livres, aux vêtements, qui leur seront donné. Cette situation peut étonner a priori, mais les qu'on saura que les familles de la colonie ont chacune au moins trois enfants, on comprenenda que le fonctionnaire par exemple se trouve dans l'impression avec un salaire moyen de mettre tous ses enfants à mense de suivre tous les degrees de l'instruction. Fort souvent, Lainé seul, nouveau droit d'ainesse arrive à franchir les clapes jusqu'au laurent. Les autres sont curatifs, ils doivent se contenir d'une une primaire. 1. L'obligation scolaire ne peut enivent thouque pour les maîtres infils. Dans les vîtes de Point-a-Dit, Rasse Lerre dans les customes de les principes communs de l'ile entières vont à École. Il n'existe de doute sur la bourse de l'ile en compagnie de procédure de que les maîtres entières sont maximaux en cas de renlèche. Il n'existe de parents les gident chez eux pour tracé de dûps or les bourses du monage. Le conseil général, le conseil de l'Enquête primaire se sont enums de cet état de chose. D'un siècle ago, de l'homme vient d'être cité. Cente nous nous connaissons personne, mais nous connaissons obligé de dire que d'importantes réformes, imposent de monétaire que l'instruction soit repandue à la production. Mimenter la Culée des Coeurs pour que la gratitude ne reste pas un mot vague, créer l'Ecole image, pour que Penséignement a tous les degrés soi convert à tous. La Ginadelope a dans son palmier des hommes illu-tres, ses tifs. Dans la generation d'ajourd'hui, et dans celle de domain, que de génies se disminuent fante de ponçon gravier les degrés de la culture différente en scientifique. Nous sommes adversaires du régime artuel des hours, allocation de famine. La Colonie doit mirer à son budget un chapitre spécial pour Centretien et l'Éducation des sujets les mieux donés, qui se feront remarquer des leur entrée à l'Ecole. Cette élite, après être venue en France dans les Facultés où les Grandes Ecoles achever son instruction, devrait retourner dans le pays. Pour la preparation pedagogique du personnel enseignement, il convientrait aussi de créer une Ecole Normale, organisme qui n'existe pas à la Guadeloupe. Par ailleurs, une école professionnelle, des cours d'hydrographie, ont été ouverts ces temps-ils. C'est d'un bon signe. A côté de l'élite, le pays aura besoin des hommes d'action au courant des questions politiques, économiques et financières. La jeunesse embrasse trop les carrières liberales, elles ont leur utilité, c'est entendu, mais nous croyons qu'en ce moment, il y a aplétore de médecins, d'avocats. La reforme de l'enseignement primaire, mérite de prendre une place en tête du programme de mise en valeur de la Guadeloupe. Car dans une democratie bien organisée, l'équilibre doit être réalisé entre toutes le sforces vives du pays. Privat-Giraud. Le ténor noir Roland Hayes, qui fut récemment l'hôte des Parisiens et qui obtint, lors de son dernier passage, un succès triomphal pour la très belle interpretation qu'il fit de l'Etrance du Christ au concert Colonne, que dirigeait Gabriel Pierne, dommera une série de recitals à la salle Gaveau, le Ier avril, au mois de mai et au mois de juin. La carrière de cet artiste est passionnante comme une légende. Il naquit aux Etats-Unis, à Curryville (Géorgie), de parents esclaves. Vagabondant tout jeune, son instinct musical lui faisait écouter, des heures durant, le chant des oiseaux, le bruit d'une source proche, les stridences du vent dans les branches; après quoi, brodant sur les motifs harmoniques ainsi perçus, il improvisait des réponses qu'il chantait sans se lasser. Ce furent ses débuts. Mais vint l'age où l'école buissonière devait prendre tin. Pour gagner sa vie, Roland Hayes essaya successivement de plusieurs métiers. Garçon d'hôtel, il chantait un jour, en accomplissant sa tache journalière et sans se douter qu'il avait un auditeur qui allait avoir une influence prépondérante dans sa vie. Celui-ci, M. Calboum, frappé des qualités vocales de Roland Hayes, le fit entrer à Fisk University. Le banquier H. Putnam le présente au professeur Hubbard, de Boston. Ce fut ce dernier qui enseigna au futur ténor les premiers éléments d'un art qui allait le rendre célébre. Mais les débuts artistiques de notre héros furent extremement difficiles. Bien qu'écant déjà en possession des heles qualifiés qui devaient s'affirmer encore dans la suite, il ne pouvait paraitre sur la sieve des théâtres américains. Le projige contre les gens de couleur est encore si vivace l'habas de qu'il fut impossible au débutant de ce produit dans des conditions lui permettant de s'imposer au public. Héritre-sément, un hasard lui fit gagner l'Europe et, pen après son arrivée à Londres, le maître de chapelle du roi Emmanuel à chanter un concert donné au palais de Buckingham, éventuellement qui a marqué oblivion de ses portes. Le succès vit fondagant lorsque, attire à Paris par le célibre viro- vioniste M. Joseph Salamon, qui pent écrite le plus enboussieque et le plus passionné de ses admirateurs, aient l'occasion de se produire dans les salons les plus aristocratiques de la capitale. La consécution entoçonne ne taché pas à partir des fruits. L'Amérique, qui naît pas voulu entendre parler de Roland Haves à ses débuts, se voit bien souvent que celui-ci était d'origine américaine et le revendiqua bruyamment comme un de ses nationaux. Une tournée triphade des deux apaiser Amérissime du soir venir d'antrefois, Pactont acclain, chové. Roland Haves tinit le bœuf durjours. Mais est Paris qui Ettine et c'est à Paris qu'il revient toujours. On a presque qui dit sur les prestigieuses qualités de Roland Hayes sur L'ampleur, la chaleur et l'étendue de son organe sur la diversité des connaissances techniques, sur la variété de son repertoire, sur la jittery de sa diction. Mais on n'a pas insiste sur un fait qui, plus qu'est autre, provue la puissance de travail et l'amour de son art: possédant et interpretant le repertoire classique français, italien et allemand, il chante indidirement dans ces trois langues et sa culture dans la langue anglaise est des plus raffinées. Fidèle aux racines profondes de sa race. Roland Hayes donne un charme nostalgique, un regret jointain comme une plaine aux Negro Spiritual qui sont l'essence même de l'art africain; il se propose de les nieux faire connaître au cours de auditions futures, en Europe et en Amérique; elles seront accompagnées par des conferences faibles par le prince Kojó Tovaiou Houénou, avocat à la Cœur d'appel, président de l'Amitié franco-dahomienne et de la Ligue universelle pour la défense des noirs. Enfin Roland Hayes n'est pas salué seulement par les diverses capitales, Londres, Paris (Vienne et New-York, comme le "prince du chant", il est un grand inspiré, un grand initie, c'est l'impression que donne la tête reproduite ci-dessus et sculptée par Mine Renée Vafjert. L'artiste la saisi au moment où il chante Steal away. L'art de M. Roland Hayes atteint le sublime des gratifs prophetes bibliques dans le Go down Moses, c'est Moise Hinmeine conduisant son peuple dans la terre promise, sa race à la délivrance à la liberté. Les fêtes traditionelles de Jeanne d'Arce ont été célébrées à Orleans suivant le programme accoutounte. Toutefois, par exception, la municipalité n'avait pas cru devoir adresser, cette année, une invitation spéciale à une haute personnalité civile ou militaire; un instant, elle avait pensé faire une demarche auprès du président de la République pour le prier d'honorer ces fêtes de sa présence; mais elle avait reconçé à son projet, en raison de la proximité des élections législatives. La partie religieuse était présidée par le cardinal Dubois, archevêque de Paris, qu'entouraient ses auxiliaires. Mgr Baudrillart, Mgr Roland-Gosselin et Mgr Chaptal, el les eveques de Blois, de Meaux, de Versailles et de Chartres. Hier soir, en remettant, devant la cathedrale Sainte-Croix, l'étendard de la Pucele à l'loveque d'Orléans, le méirre a rappelé qu'un lustre s'est déjà coulé depuis qu'après la catastrophe mondiale Orléans a pu continuer à commémorer comme jadis l'amiversaire de sa delivrance, et il a félicité l'éveque, Mgr Touchet, d'avoir vu récompenser par la plus haute distinction ecclésiastique ses efforts pour l'exalation de la grande girefure de Jeanne d'Arce. Dans sa réponse, le cardinal Touchet a fait remarquer que bientôt nous toucherions au cinq centième ammissaire de la delivrance d'Orléans par Jeanne d'Arce. Comment, a-t-il demandé, célébrer-ta on le cinq centième ammissaire? Se trouvera-t-il à la Chambre, au Senat, une voix, un cœur, une raison pour réclanier l'errection en Orléans du monument national à Jeanne, saureur de la France? Qu'on élève à Donrémy le monument de la naissance; siurement. Que l'on élève à Rouen le monument expiatoire de son atroce prison et de son supplice par le feu' soit. Je saume quelles mains devraient en dresser les pierres. Mais le monument du triomphe national de Jeanne, de-la France rendue à la civilisation et à des destins, c'est qu'il doit être posé; ce n'est pas dans la Seine. c'est dans la Loire, qu'il doit mirer soi front. Ailleurs qu'il, il huriera contre l'Histoire et l'Histoire hurlera contre lui. Quel sera le cinq centième anniversaire la: la libération chez nous? Comment Orléans résumera-t-il ses fidélités, ses enthousiasmes, ses amours cinq fois séculaires? Quinventer Orléans? D'autre pari, que fera la France pour Orléans qui, lui, a sauvé soul une parcelle mémoire? Car si Jeanne sauva Orléans, Orléans a sauvé Jeanne de Loudi, ce qui est pire que Loudi, de la définition, "Lieuxux qui conflit cechos lointains!" conque parlait l'antique prophete. En terminant, le cardinal Touche a gémalé la permission de remetre l'ordinal qui lui était conflit entre les mains de l'archévique de Paris: "Il ne saurait, a dit l'évèque d'Orléans, être conflie au prélat plus frauac." Ce matin, le panégyrique d'usage a été prononcé à la cathédrale par Mgr, Gilbert, évèque de Versailles, qui fut longtemps curé de Saint-Paterne à Orléans. Durant la mese, à laquelle assistaient les prélats, un remarkable programme musical a été exécuté. Le cortege civil, militaire et religieux a suivi ensuite l'itinéraire habilut pour se rendre par les rues pavoisées et fleuries sur la rive gauche de la Loire, à l'emplacement du fort des Tourelles; la municipalité, le préfet, le commandant en chef, les magistrats de la cour et du tribunal, MM. Rabier et Henri Roy sénateurs, Le Brecq, Darblay, Maurisson, députés, la chanbre de commerce, tous les corps constitués y avaient pris place, de même que les sociétés locales et les délégations de communes de la banlieue. Dans l'après-midi, le général Leboue a presidé sur la place du Martroi la cérémonie de la presentation et du salut des drapeaux du 5e corps à la statue équestre de Jeanne D'Arc, dont le pieddestal était couvert de fleurs blanches. Le défilé des troupes a termine cet hommage militaire, auquel ont pris part douze drapeaux et étendards, de non-breuses musique et faunares de l'arrière. Ces solemnités avaient commen­t toujours, attiré une grande foule Orléans. show me space in your valuable advice to state that, fortunately for human progress, there are a few men who feel more acutely the call to must service in the bringing of a bet- day. Such men are far violated who do not put the problem of making leaving first and human service an internal addition. Nothing is so in- spired to the rest of us in contact with the sort of conception of life which deerves the full measure of devotion to good men who came to the belief that the gift of their lives was none too great a sacrifice to lay on the altar of human service. All these servants man's highways are the true salient bringers of life; are the high- pointed men of the world, which price above all common currency. They are paid in the coin of consciousness if the regeneration of others. MILTON POLLARD. Cleveland, Ohio. Let Us Do Noble Things For the Organization To the Editor of The Negro World: A kite will not go up in a calm or main up when it is calm. A vessel cannot sail in a dead calm. It is the storm that hastens the bark to its desti- nation. So to develop power we must meet opposition. It is competition, opposition, that brings a man out. So is with an organization. Opposition and difficulties are stimulants to nerve as to greater efforts. There is perhaps no station in life in which difficulties have not to be encountered and over- come before any decided, measure of success can be achieved. We must have opposition if we will excel. Let us do noble things for our organization and our race, not dream them. Always make life death, and that vast brover one grand, sweet song. What race could have a grander motto than ours: "One God, One Alm, One Destiny," with our slogan "Africa for the Africans at home and abroad?" What people could find fault with us for wanting to establish a government of our own, where we can be assured of getting equal protection of the laws, where we can aspire to the highest office in the country, where our men and boys will not be lynched and burned for a crime in many instances they don't commit; but not being where we can get equal protection are denied in many instances a trial except by judge Lynch, and where our woman-sod can be protected? Oh, who could time us or find fault with us forating "liberty" like other people? To the Editor of The Negro World: Let all true-hearted members get together as one single unit! Get together and help steer at the wheel of success. We must all go shoulder to shoulder to put this great program over for the redemption of Africa. Don't say that it can't be done, because if we all are ambitious it will be done. BISHOP I. E. GUINN 633 East Sixth Street, Cincinnati, Ohio 633 East Sixth Street, Chicago, Illinois.

CHARLENA CHAMBERS, Kansas City, Kan: TO the editor of the Negro World: Humanity has now reached the crossroads of time, and, as we wonder and ponder over the ethical things of time and sense, we find ourselves marching step by step in an endeavor to regain the glories of ancient Ethiopia. Thus we await with a pleasing expectation the coming of that era, "the return of scattered Ham." Let us paint an imaginary picture of Africa redeemed, in that we also see great cathedrals, universities of learning, colleges, a great African corpus juris civilis, and the adoption of an African national constitution to be respected by the other peoples of the world. These things for which the Universal Negro Improvement Association stands can be obtained if we but harken to the voice that calls us. Then, "what think ye of Marcus Garvey?" B. A. LAWRENCE. NEWS AND VIEWS U.N.I.A.DIVISIONS NEWS AND VIEWS U.N.I.A.DIVISIONS KINGSTON, JAMAICA The Kingston Division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association is making great headway. Our indoor and outdoor mass meetings are well attended and much enthusiasm is displayed. On Sunday night, the 4th inst., we had a distinguished visitor in the person of Mr. Wedderburn, representative of the Christian Science Association of the U. S. A. Our Liberty Hall was filled to its utmost capacity with persons who were very anxious to have more practical knowledge of the religion of Jesus Christ. Mr. Wedderburn, who is a very fluent speaker, and who has a great knowledge of the practical side of religion, did not fall to impress his hearers. He spoke for over two hours, and at the conclusion, was just as fresh as when he started. It was impossible to have Mr. Wedderburn again to address us as he leaves for America at a very early date. Mr. Wedderburn leaves with the best wishes of the members of this division. Another feature of my report is a Cantata entitled: "Our Minister's Birthday." The program was a well got up one and reflects great credit on Miss. Miller, the organist and choir matress of the division. The singing was of a high order and the performance was excellent. Even the greatest enemies of Garveyism are realizing that the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association is one of uplift to the Negro youths of the day. Long live the Hon. Marcus Garvey! Much interest is evinced in the expected return of the steamship corporation, and Mr. G. T.
