LET'S PUT IT OVER The Indispensable Weekly The Voice of the Awakened Negro The Negro World Reaching the Mass of Negroes The Best Advertising Medium A Newspaper Devoted Solely to the Interests of the Negro Race VOL. XVI. No. 18 NEW YORK, SATURDAY, JUNE 14, 1924 PRICE: FIVE CENTS IN GREATER NEW YORK SEVEN CENTS ELSEWHERE IN THE U. & A. TEN CENTS IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES UNITED FORCES OF NEGROES INDUSTRIALLY, TECHNICALLY AND AGRICULTURALLY TO BUILD NATION Fellow Men of the Negro Race, Greeting: The hour has come for universal activity on our part to put over a program that appeals to us, not only in this generation, but must be accomplished for the good of others. We look forward with great hope and inspiration to the congregation of our technical, scientific, educational and industrious forces in helping to build to a position of permanent international progress the black republic of Liberia. Upon this object thoughtful Negroes everywhere are centering their minds and their ambition. In America and the West Indies we have long prepared ourselves for such a service, and, unknowingly probably, we labored and suffered for three hundred years to imbibe a civilization of merit and progress that we may use at this time for the development of a country of our own. And why should we not gather our forces in this direction? From our universities, colleges, high schools and from our every field of labor and industry we should summon our men and women for higher racial service. It is true that a large number of the intellectuals spurn the idea of a developed Liberia as a leading nation, but sooner or later they will come to realize that this program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, which seeks to assist in the upbuilding of independent black nations, is the only one that will solve the Negro problem. A Prosperous and Progressive Country Why shouldn't we have an industrially, commercially, agriculturally and educationally prosperous and progressive Liberia? Why shouldn't we, four hundred millions, unite to make her an exemplary black nation of the world? And so today we appeal to the imagination and ambition of the millions who profess the faith of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Let us work together for the bringing about of this ideal. We want the industrious and thrifty of our people to now prepare themselves everywhere to go to Liberia, and there settle, to become a part of that rising country in assisting to make it what it ought to be. We can help in this direction by each and every one GREAT FUTURE BEFORE THOUGHTFULS OF RACE NEGRO STEAMSHIP COMPANY TO HAVE SHIP SOON IF RACE RESPONDS BIG CONVENTION OF RACE FOR 1924 LET US ALL HELP AND PUT THE PROGRAM OVER supporting wholeheartedly the present program of the Association. Experts for Liberia Our engineering and mechanical experts will be on the way in another few days to start constructive building for the accommodation of the larger group of colonists who will sail away in September. Millions of dollars must be raised to finance the work that must be done. The colonies to be built in Liberia will be of the most modern kind. To make it possible for the colonists to get there we must have ships; hence, the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company, organized under the auspices of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, is now appealing to each and every member of the race who is in sympathy with the ideals of the Association to subscribe to a loan to enable the corporation to secure a ship and to have it ready for the colonists in September. As stated before in an article in this paper, we want 100 Negroes to loan $1,000 each to the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company; 200 to loan $500 each; 300 to loan $250 each; 1,000 to loan $200 each, and 5,000 to loan $100 each for five or ten years, bearing an annual interest of 5%, so as to enable the company to secure the ships necessary to place on the American-West Indian-Central American-Liberian Route to convey to and fro the freight and passengers necessary to the development of the country and the race at large. If everybody who can afford it will make up his or her mind to make a loan to the corporation now, then we will have all the money necessary to do the work that must be done for the successful consummation of the plans already outlined. If you have a thousand dollars that you can spare, loan it now, or $500, $250, $200 or $100. If you do it, and do it now, you may have cause to feel happy in the very near future that you helped in making one of the biggest ventures of the race a success. Let all those who are able in America, the West Indies, South and Central America do their bit now. Send in your loans addressed to the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company, 56 West 135th Street, New York City. It is no use putting off, expecting to do later, when it should be now. Looking Forward to Big Year The Universal Negro Improvement Association is looking forward to the accomplishment of big things during this year and during 1925. Each of its members, supporters and friends can help in hastening the time of success by rallying to its appeal now. At the same time we should also prepare for the forthcoming Fourth Intertional Convention of the Negro Peoples of the World. This will be our biggest gathering; when members of the race as delegates will be coming from all parts of the known world. The program, which is to be found in another section of this paper, is an exhaustive one and embodies every phase of the great problems confronting our race. Surely everybody will take an interest in it and work for its success. As already stated, the convention will be in session for 31 days and 31 nights, at the close of which, on the 1st of September, our first ship is to sail for Liberia with the first group of colonists. We are looking forward to a royal time. Let us work helpfully and assiduously for it by loaning what we can to the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company and by contributing to the Convention Fund for which members are collecting. Whatsoever you can do by way of financing the program, please do it now. With very best wishes, I have the honor to be Your obedient servant. Universal Negro Improvement Association New York, June 10, 1924. P. S. Again we beg to remind our Divisions, Branches and Chapters of the Universal Negro Improvement Association to get financial with the Parent Body. Now, more than ever, the Parent Body is undergoing a tremendous responsibility in carrying out the program of the last convention. Our work this year is elaborate to the extent that we have started to carry out our African program, which calls for the expenditure of large sums of money. You can help by carrying out your constitutional obligation and being financial. See that all members pay up their annual tax and that all reports are in to make you eligible to a voice in the convention. M. G. THE COLONIZATION PROGRAM FOR LIBERIA What white men, politician, publicist, preacher or pedagogue say about the Negro and the so-called Negro problem would make a scrapbook that would well be hawked on the newsstands at $1 per copy and find ready buyers. The scrapbook could be made a monthly affair. It ought to surpass the best magazine the world ever. Within its covers would assuredly be found several choice morials, whether of wit, irony, satire or realism, such as must satisfy the most fastidious taste. Says Robert Herrick (white) in "The Nation," in an article on the social life in the West Indies: "In brief, the dwindling minority of pure white colonials do their best to preserve the purity of their race (as they have an undoubted right to do), except by abstaining from intercourse with black women." Can't this rich? I do not see how this naive little statement could fail to bring cheer and a smile to a convict in the death-house at Sing Sing. What a characteristically lop-sided mentality it betrays! If black men and white women mingle socially, we are always told, the purity of the white race is assailed. But white men, stigmatize for purity, cannot or will not abstain. How Nordics seek to maintain the purity of their race is very confusing to the average mortal. Personally, I refuse to lie awake at nights trying to solve their purity complex. And what is purity, as they define it, and live it? Please don't all answer at once. Perhaps, Heywood Broun is right. "Mongrels" we are, most of us, Mr. Herrick is undoubtedly a wit. And listen to this gentleman, white, Dr. Llewellyn Barker, professor of clinical medicine at Johns Hopkins University. He is moved to indignation by the brutal murder by two young men, white, millionaires sons, "super-intelluctuals," of thirteen-year-old boy, white, also the son of a millionaire. However the Negro came into the picture is more than the mere layman can discern. Even the family chauffeurs of these young gentlemen wete white men. But as wanton as the Chicago murder is the stab the unoffending Negro receives. The professor says, "The future of the 'American' people has already been definitely jeopardized in the past by the importation of large numbers of slaves of the colored race, by the admission of hordes of derivatives of inferior hereditary stocks." America's future jeopardized by those who helped build America! And how jeopardized? Perhaps Mr. Herrick does know a thing or two. If only "pure white men would abstain from 'intercourse with black women,'" to use Mr. Herrick's phrase, the jeopardy the professor prates of would disappear. It is all very confusing. "The destiny of the great African continent, to be added at length—and in a future not now for beyond us—to the realms of the highest civilization, has become very apparent within a very few decades." No, it is not Marcus Garvey speaking. It is Calvin Coolidge, President of the United States, who has a splendid chance to succeed himself at the coming elections. He so unburdened himself a few days ago in the course of a commencement address at Howard University, an institution partly maintained by Government for Negroes. Mr. Coolidge considers the progress of the Negro in America "one of the marvels of modern biology." The advancement of the Negroes in America has been rapid compared with the painful upward movement of humanity as a whole, he declares, and believes that "the black man's probation on this continent was a necessary part in a great plan by which the race was to be saved to the world for a service we now are able toVIDEN." "The Negroes' future is in their own hands," he asserts. In another column of this issue will be found two speeches by Marcus Garvey, man of vision, in which he calls Negroes to service. It does appear to me that Coolidge and Garvey are seeing the same visions and dreaming the same dreams. Garvey is calling upon Negroes to collect for service in Africa under their own leadership. Garvey is on fire with African colonization and new, high ideals of civilization for Africa. Coolidge speaks in glowing terms of the destiny of the African continent and urges Negroes to follow their own leaders. I wonder what some of the critics of the Universal Negro Improvement Association have to say of it all? A correspondent of the Gold Coast Times is deeply grieved over the threatened policy of Britain to discourage Africans from entering British Universities. His grief is justified, doubtless, "How would the British Government," he哭ries, "like the idea of the presence in the country of a number of Africans trained in German philosophy and in doctrined with German ideas, or with the doctrines that pervade the minds of Afro-Americans?" _____ Let me answer his question. They would hardly like it, dear sir, and. THEREFORE, it would be a splendid thing if this came to pass, from the African's point of view. Believe me, recommending Africa with a gang of Oxford or Cambridge graduates, be they native Africans or West Indians, is aisyphian task. UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION RAISING FUND OF TWO MILLION DOLLARS FOR BUILDING FIRST COLONY IN LIBERIA EVERYBODY ASKED TO HELP WITH A DONATION NEGROES TO HAVE HOMELAND OF THEIR OWN FOUR SEPARATE COLONIES TO BE BUILT The Universal Negro Improvement Association is now starting to carry out its colonization plans for helping in the cultural, industrial, agricultural, economic, educational and social development of the black republic of Liberia, west coast of Africa, as a permanent home for the scattered Negroes of the world who desire to live in a country of their own where they may enjoy the benefits of real freedom, liberty and democracy. The good people of Liberia anxiously welcome to their country, their hearts and their ideals the soberminded, industrious, lawabiding, ambitious Negroes of America, West Indies, South and Central America and Canada who desire to settle among them and become a part of a peaceful, growing black nation. The Universal Negro Improvement Association is now helping in this direction as the Jews are helping to build and restore Palestine. The Association has undertaken to develop four colonies in Liberia, the first to be built on the Cavalla River, to which the first group of colonists is expected to sail in September of 1924 from New York and regularly thereafter. The Association is to spend two million ($2,000,000) dollars on the development of each colony for public works and other utilities. They are now raising the first two million ($2,000,000) dollars for the building of the Cavalla colony. The following plans are to be carried out for the building of each and every one of the four colonies, all government buildings, however, to be under the direction of the Liberian Government and all persons shall observe the laws of the Republic of Liberia accordingly. All those who desire to help the Negro under the auspices of the Universal Negro Improvement Association in developing himself are asked to subscribe to the fund of two million ($2,000,000) dollars now being raised for the promotion of the Cavalla Colony. The first group of engineers will sail in a few days to start construction work for the accommodation of the first group of colonists who will leave in September. Please help this fund with a substantial donation. Address your donation to the "Colonization Fund, Universal Negro Improvement Association, 56 West 135th street, New York, U. S. A." All substantial donations will be acknowledged by letter and by publication in the Negro World. Small donations will be acknowledged in the Negro World weekly.

The first of these really began in 1915, reached its maximum in 1917, and continued, at a decreasing rate up to 1920, when, because of the economic depression, it almost ceased. Estimates made at the time of the number of Negroes who went North ranged from 150,000 to 1,000,000. The 1920 census showed, however, that, in spite of the great movement of Negroes Northward during the previous four years, the number of Negroes from the South living in the North had increased in the decade 1916-1920 by only 320,260. Estimates of the number who have migrated in the past three years vary The Migrant Movement Swings Back and Forth From the Dayton Guide from 100,000 to 500,000. It is very probable that if a census were taken this year it would show that there are probably not 250,000 more Negroes from the South living in the North and West than there were in 1920. As a matter of fact, many Negroes who went North in 1922-1924 were persons who had already been North and had returned to the South during the economic depression. It is probable that during the past ten years several hundred thousand Negroes have moved from the South to the North and back again. This movement both North and South, was taking place during the winter of 1923-24 and caused many Southern newspapers to publish the statement that Negroes were returning South and that the peak of the migration had been reached. What was taking place was that many Negroes who returned South during the winter, went North again during the spring, and carried with them additional migrants. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JUNE 14, 1824 FRENCH WAY OF HANDLING HER NEGRO COLONIALS Sharp Contrast Between British and American Way, French Being Preferable, of Course From the Boston Chronicle A recent news item said: "France is building an African empire far surpassing the ancient domains of Rome and Carthage, according to David P. Barrows, former president of the University of California, who is returning to the United States after a study of the French colonial administration. Dr. Barrows traveled 5,000 miles in the interior of Africa, crossed the Sahara desert, explored the Senegal and Niger rivers and visited Timbuktu and Dakar, in Senegal. Dr. Barrows said he was accecably surprised to find that the French colonial administration was not so militaristic as had generally been reported, and that the natives were being educated and civilized without being brutalized." More recently we read: "Ras Haffard, Prince Regent of Ethiopia, and his suite arrived in Paris, being received with full royal honors by President Millerand, Premier Poincaré, and then taken to the Palais d'Orsay, where royal visitors are housed. His mission is to thank the French government for its help in obtaining 'Abyssinia's' entry into the League of Nations." Fair and equitable treatment of peoples with dark skins is so unusual in our country that news such as this is always cause for columns of space. In France, where it occurs as a simple matter of course, only passing attention is paid to it. The items above quoted show evidence of the deep and persistent scheme of propaganda that obtains in France. She is attempting to win the love and respect and confidence of the darker races of the earth by treating dark peoples as men. It is such a crime as for which "Nordic" would extracise France—if they dared—if they could get along without her. It is the sort of propaganda that is causing loss to the Mohammedan religion, to forces of superstition and to the doctrine that all white peoples are without virtue and murderous. It is the sort of propaganda that those for whose consumption it is intended accept without protest. It is too bad that our own country does not profit by France's treatment of her colonial possessions, and use similar methods in the Virgin Islands, in Porto Rico and the Philippines. But for a country successfully to employ such methods it must proceed from a basis of absolute equality. France has been successful with it because of her willingness to proceed from this basis. The United States had not been successful at all times because of her unwillingness thus to proceed. The United States has not yet learned it, learned, has not shown evidence of it) that dependents composed of normally minded men and women, with the desire for freedom surging in their breasts, will not give unjustifiedly of their devotion and loyalty and confidence when they are treated like morons and subjects. A feeling of equality must be engendered, else all efforts at friendly overtures come to naught. Condescension and patronage are food for the slavish, and peoples accustomed to freedom do not accept of it. France does not offer it. The colonists of France are citizens of France. They are that in name and in fact. They are made to realize it. They are made to feel proud of their nationality (which is French). This is not, however, justification of any country's ruthless subjection of another through sheer greed. It is, however, justification of a country's subjugation of another when the methods used are those of humanizing influences of a splendid civilization. In such a case far more good than harm is done. It must be a pleasure to be subjugated through such methods "without being brutalized." Our country could learn much. It is too bad, however, that it refuses to learn by the successful experiments of others. Fearing the bossy of "black domination" and the loss of "white supremacy" to the "Northeast" element, our country, which has much less to fear in this respect than France has, prefers a course of inequality and uncoupled treatment to one-tenth of her population. Yes, this country might learn much, but will she? Holy Land Contest Drawing to a Close INDIANAPOLIS, May 31—The offer made by the Madam C. J. Walker Mfg. Co. of this city to send three ministers on a free trip to Palestine and another to Paris, France, is soon to be fulfilled. The nationwide contest in which the tribes are to be awarded is fast drawing to a close. But five short, weeks of the race remain to be run, and then, July 1, the world will know the winners of these matchless travel prizes. Three hundred and fifty-eight ministers were nominated to the content and have made it the THE MOCKERY OF JUSTICE IN THE SOUTHERN STATES Uncertain Testimony of White Women Sends Negroes to Cruel Death— Black Women Outraged With Impunity (From The Baltimore Sun) (White) In most States of the South a Negro who is charged with laying violent or heavy hand upon a white woman whether with intent to administer physical punishment, to steal from the person or to attempt rape is punished with death, either summarily by the mob or railroaded speedily by a court. The bare, uncertain, hesitant testimony of the woman who claims that she has been assaulted is all that is needed to send any Negro to a swift and cruel death for crime. Positive identification is not even necessary in the case of such a white woman; any vague, general or partial description which will always be made to fit some unfortunate Negro will suffice. Any white woman high in the social scale and in character, or of the lowest strata, even a social outcast, can thus cause to be done to death any Negro. But while the law or the mob in those States throw around the white woman every measure of protection and eagerly swiftly and oftimes savagely revenge an insult or attack upon her dignity, person or virtue, no protection or defense whatever is extended to the Negro woman who is maltreated, beaten or outraged by white men. The case of Alice Thomas in Orangeburg county, South Carolina, who was unnerefully beaten by a mob of five white men who invaded her home and dragged her out of bed in her night clothes in an illuminating example of the mockery of justice as between white and black in South Carolina. This poor, unfortunate black woman knew and positively identified each and every one of her assailants by name. And yet in a solemn court of justice a jury of white men "good and true" accepted the lying evidence of other white men of the kind who are over ready to swear away the life or liberty of a Negro or to shield the crimes of lawless white men, and rendered a verdict of acquittal. Such a verdict brings courts into decision and lessens the respect not only of the group against whom justice has closed its doors, but of those well who use the courts to oppress a race or class outside the pale of the laws' protection. While Senator Simmons, of North Carolina, is making a plea for the Negro to remain in the South and aid in developing its resources, South Carolina mobs and courts are furnishing impetus to migration by outrages upon Negro men and women and maintaining a double standard of justice as between black and white. Scientific Training Of Social Workers ATLANTA, May 30—The Atlanta School of Social Work, conducted in connection with Marshouse College, is just completing its fourth year of successful operation. Established in 1920 because of the special need in the South for an institution for the training of colored young people in professional, social work, it has been steadily raising its standards and enraining its effectiveness. Courses are given in case work, human behavior, social investigation, physiology, home nursing, community organization, play leadership, social problems and field work. In addition the school is giving extension courses to forty-six public school teachers, conducts a short, course for minister's wives at Gammon Seminary, and gives two lectures a week to the senior normal students of Atlanta University. The school is controlled by a committee of representative white and colored men and women, headed by Dr. John Hope, president of Morehouse College. The faculty consists of E Franklin Frazier, who is also the director, a teacher in case and field work, and a number of executives of Atlanta social agencies. A nominal tuition fee of $25 is charged. The chief handicap of the institution so far has been lack of adequate and stable financial support. It is hoped that this need may be supplied at an early date by philanthropists desirous of making constructive contribution to the future. biggest thing of its kind ever attempted by a Negro business concern. Many have proved themselves good campaigners and set dizzy faces for the others. Friends have rallied to support their favorite churches, lodges, entire cities organize to put their candidate over. In these last and hottest days of the contest an appeal goes up from them and the candidates to rally round your own and help send your favorite contestant on a 10,000-mile tour to Palestine free of cost to him.

RACES MAKE THEIR GOD AFTER THEIR OWN IMAGE AND LIKENESS RACES MAKE THEIR GOD AFTER THEIR OWN IMAGE AND LIKENESS LYNCH LAW IN THE REPUBLIC OF PANAMA Mr. G. N. Johnson of Panama, Republic of Panama, sends The Negro World the following account of a brutal lynching as it appeared in the Panama Star and Herald of April 24. He also sends us an account of his own, but we think the statement from the Star and Herald sufficient: "A plain case of lynching is reported as having occurred at Buretka in the Talamanca, Valley, Costa Rica boundary on Thursday 3d inst. The victim is Adolphus Lake, 40 years old Jamaican, and on the day in question a laborer on the U. F. Co's. Corona farm. It is stated that Lake's mother underwent a surgical operation at the Almirante Hospital during the month of March. When the pay car ran on the 3d inst. he found that every cent of his money was placed to that account. Hearing that his mother was dying in this town—70 miles off—the man asked W. L. Evans, superintendent of farms, for a pass. This was bluntly refused, it is alleged, with an obscene accompaniment. The laborer reciprocated, and was given in charge of a policeman. At the trial, it is alleged that Evans hit Lake in the presence of the court officials, and in return the Negro sent the white man senseless to the mat with a right to the jaw. Then D. E. Bookout, another American, is said to have intervened and was floored, at which the two Costa Rican officials, so it is reliably stated, struck the prisoner behind with long machettes. Bookout soon recovered and Lake was brutally done up by the three. He was lodged in jail. On Tuesday morning, 8th inst., the man was strapped to a motor car and taken to a place called Olivia, 13 miles distant. In too bad shape to bear up more that day he was laid by until next morning and then, lashed to a mule which here him across a hill to the beach at Old Harbor, whence he was sent to Port Limon. He is reported to have died since. The hearts of the colored people all swell at this brutality, and very strong representation will be forthcoming to Division Manager Blair on the matter." Unprepared Men Have No Chance DENVER—"Never in the history of our country," says the Colorado Stateman, "was there a time when a greater call went out for the thoroughly competent man or woman in any line. The day has passed forever when the incompetent, the unprepared and the makeshift individual can succeed for any length of time, no matter whether it be as a common laborer or as a mere hostess." The following editorial from the New York World (white), June 5, in the first published comment on the intention of the Universal Neuro Improvement Association to have the "Dedication of Jesus as a Black Man of Sorrows" discussed at the Fourth International Convention of the Negro Peoples of the World, to be held in New York city during the month of August. The New York World hates Marcus Garvey—but truth overmeth: "When the Provisional Republic of Africa, with headquarters in the United States, sets out in conjunction with the Sublime Order of the Nile and the Distinguished Order of Ethiopia to reinterpret history and religion to the Negro race at "the fourth international convention of the Negro Peoples of the world," taking up on the program the "definication of Jesus as the Black Man of Sorrows" "the canonization of the Virgin Mary as a Necess," and the "idealization" of God as "a creature of imaginary abundance of the black race, being of his image and inscess," there is occasion, if us admit, for amusement. There are frauds of which the courts may take no cognizance, and there evidently is one of them.

Contrasting "the rapid advancement of the Negroes in America with the slow and painful upward movement of humanity as a whole," the President advanced the thought that "the black man's probation on this continent was a necessary part: in a great plan by which the race was to be saved to the world for a service we now are able to vision." "The destiny of the great African continent, to be added at length—and in a future not now far beyond us—to the realms of the highest civilization, has become apparent within a very few decades," the President said. "But for the strange and long insurtable purpose which in the ordering of human affairs subjected a part of the black race to the ordeal of slavery, that race might have been assigned to the tragic fate which has befelt many aboriginal peoples when brought into conflict with more advanced communities. Instead, we are able now to be confident that the race is to be preserved for a great and useful work." The special field of usefulness for educated Negro men and women was declared by Mr. Coolidge to be work with their own people needing "help guidance, leadership and inspiration." "The Negro community of America has already so far progressed that its members can be assured that their future is in their own hands," he added. "Racial hostility, ancient tradition and social prejudice are not to be eliminated immediately or easily. But they will be lessened as the colored people by their own efforts and under their own leaders shall prove worthy of the fullest measure of opportunity." of some not named—may justly claim that he is supplying a demand. The greatest necessity of a downtrendrease is belief in itself, its history, its prophets, its character and desirability. Tactily the Negroes are charged with never having achieved much of a civilization. Mr. Garvey counters with the assertion that Jesus was a black man, the Virgin Mary of similar complexion and God Himself an Ethiopian. There is courage in this for the Negroes who have faith in it. "The same sort of courage induced in Germany during the war by the discovery by German professors and military authorities that God was a German God. The same sort induced in the ranks of the Allies by an opposite discovery." The same sort every warring nation and nearly every warring faction delubs itself into when it assumes that it must be right because God is with it and that God must be with it because it is in the right. There has been much making of gods in local the last ten years. There are who, laughing at Garvey's heaven, hierarchy, can be sure they are not laughing at themselves."

ARE ENDORSED BY LEADERS OF THOUGHT AMONG ALL RACES President of United States, in Addressing Student Body of Howard University, Says Destiny of Negro Is in His Own Hands—This Doctrine Is Propounded by the U. N. I. A. and Has Aroused the Consciousness of Negroes Throughout the World GARVEY APPEALS TO THE WORLD OF NEGROES TO DO THINGS THAT WILL LEAVE THEIR IMPRESS UPON THE WORLD—THE CALL TO NEGROES IS TO BUILD A NATION OUT OF A UNITED RACE Founder of African Methodist Episcopal Church Characterizes Garvey as Most Cussed and Discussed Negro in the World—His. Work Goes on Just the Same—Predicted Ten Years Ago That Garvey Would Head the Greatest Negro Movement Ever Inaugurated LIBERTY HALL, NEW YORK Sunday Night, June 8.—The thousands of followers of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, who assembled in Liberty Hall tonight were thrilled and enthused by the speeches delivered by the leaders of the movement. Not only are the teachings of the Universal Negro Improvement Association indexed by the thinking class of Negroes, but they coincide with the views of the leading men of other races who, when the occasion presents itself to speak on matters affecting the interests of the Negro race, express themselves in terms which, in sum and substance, are an endorsement of the principles advocated and prepounded by the Association for Negro uplift. This was fortunately brought home tonight when the Hon. G. C. Carr, first vice president of the New York book, in his speech brought to the attention of the audience excerpts from an address delivered recently by the President of the United States to the student body of Negroes at Howard University, in which he said among other things that "the future of the Negro is in his own hands," and that "the destiny of the great African continent to be added at length—and in a future not far beyond us—to the reality of the highest civilization, has become apparent within a very few decades." The other speakers wage the Hon. P. V. Burrows, the Rev. Alphonse Dumas, founder of the African Methodist Episcopal Church in Jamaica, B. W. I., and the Hon. Marcus Garvey, Rev. Dumas characterized Marcus Garvey as the most widely discussed and the most widely cursed Negro in the world, but from his observation during his sixty-two years of life in this world, it made little difference whether men cursed or approved, it was for the man to go on with his work just the same. He spoke of the incident when he first came in contact with Marcus Garvey and the University of Negro Improvement Association ten years ago in the island of Jamaica at which time he and intimated that the scheme was a mammoth one and predicted that if Mr. Garvey went to the United States he would find himself inside of ten years at the level of the greatest Negro movement ever inaugurated in the world. Mr. Garvey spoke on the subject "The Influence That Saved the World" and made an important appeal to the Neurons of the world to rise to a consciousness of the purpose and perform deeds and make accomplishments that will make their impress upon the world and leave an everlasting record of the fact that they once lived upon this earth. "We call upon you," he said, "to build a nation out of a united race, to re-establish an empire that will be a glory to the world, a glory to civilization and a tribute to God." Following is the text of the speeches: MR. CARTER ON PRESIDENT COOLIDGE'S ADDRESS Hon. G. R. Carter, vice-president of the New York Local, was the first speaker. Commenting on the speech recently delivered by the President of the United States before a graduation class at Howard University, he said there were many people who had gotten in a frame of mind in which they refused to believe anything unless it came from the lips of a white man. To such people, who professed to see nothing practicable in the teachings of the Hon. Marcus Garvey, he recommended the President's utterances. "Standing before what is considered one of the most intelligent groups in America," he continued, "Howard University, the President said this. The American Negro's progress was one of the marvels of modern history and that his future was in his own hands." I want to emphasize that: "in his own wands." Whatever the Negro accomplishes in the future will come from his own efforts and not through the efforts of the other follow. What about the program, then, of that master mind, that so-called leader of Negroes, the Du Bols plan? Surely in the working out of that plan they have got the white hands mixed up with the colored. But in the working out of our program no white hands are to be seen in any way. Black Man's Probation "The President also said that the black man's probation on this continent was a necessary part in a great plan by which the race was to be saved to the world for a service we now are able to vision. Don't you see, my friends, just as the Hon. Marcus Garvey has said time and time again, when the white man went up against the Indian the Indian had little enough sense to oppose him, and the white man with his guipowder and shot exterminated him, but when he came to this slave from Africa, this slave suffered the injuries, suffered the whippings, suffered the scuffing, suffered the mal-treatment, suffered all that he might arrive at this day when he would be able to go back to his motherland and carry back the things that he had learned in probation and let the world know that the black man has a part to play in civilization as well as any other man. "Listen to the next paragraph: 'The destiny of the great African continent to be added at length—and in a future not now far beyond us—to the realms of the highest civilization, has become apparent within a very few decades.' Surely the Du Roses and Pickenses will tumble now and fall in line. (Laughter.) What does this mean? It means that there is to be a wonderful African civilization, unlike any other civilization in all the world, and that black men, educated black men, are to play their part in guiding and making their civilization what it ought to be. Negro's Special Field "Let us now come to another paragraph. 'Special field of work or usefulness for educated Negro men and women was to be work with their own people, meeting help, guidance, leadership and inspiration.' The new Negro has realized that he must become a part and parcel of the back to Africa movement, that he must go back to Africa and help in the development of the same. (Appease)" "And now the next paragraph: 'The Negro community of America has already so far progressed that its members can be assured that their culture is in their own hands.' Well, Garvey came five years ago, and you say 'No, no.' Well, perhaps you will listen now. Yes, I know several million who will listen now, now that the boss has Under Own Leadership "Late," Tina had boothily, respect to the direction and social provider, one not to be admitted immediately or easily, but will be reserved a reserved position. Their own efforts, and under their own leadership, will prove worth of the trouble increase of opportunity. After one, when we know how to proceed, Mat is under the home of the Rock the Black and the Green and the mobile leadership of the Dove Morris Grays. Then they our dream comes to place in Negroes throughout the United States throughout the Western total shall be retiring with one thought to work and to help on the reformation of their motherhood of Angels. NEGRO WORLD IN THE KING'S PALACE Hon P. L. Burrows, assistant secretary general, was the next speaker. He was the test that the aim of the University Negro Improvement Association, the institution of Attica, only be achieved where Negroes everywhere are not together and in union. As soon as the millions of the race got their minds operating in the same channels the solution of the race problem was at hand. The Negro World, the official organ of the association, was a protector for in writing the timetable of the Negro throughout the world. It was pushing the mass of Negroes everywhere, and the good it was accomplish could not be measured in mere terms of circulation. Large as that undoubtedly was. The Negro World was led by the leaders of the world. As Minor Wood, of the British colonial Office, had told him, it was read regularly in Dowding Street, in the House of Commons, in the House of Lords and in the palace of the King. The principles of the University Negro Improvement Association were known far and wide; they were right and, therefore, bound to prevail in the end. TWELVE YEARS AGO Rev Alphonse Dunn, an American leader, founder of the African Methodist Episcopal Church in the island of Jamaica, was the next speaker. He said Marcus Garvey was the most widely discussed Negro and most widely cussed Negro in the world, but it gave him great pleasure to be with him that night. As far as he had observed during the sixty-two years he had lived in the world, it made little difference whether men cussed or approved. It was for the man to go on with his work just the same. Twelve years ago it was his good fortune to sail to Jamaica from the United States of America, and the second public meeting he addressed in the island of Jamaica was a meeting at which the Hon. Marcus Garvey was presiding, a meeting of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. To his mind, Mr. Garvey had wrought a miracle of the age in bringing to life and stirring the consciousness of the Negro race the world over by his THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JUNE 14, 1984 efforts and activities in the Universal Negro Improvement Association. He remembered visiting the office of Mr. Gravey on Charles street in the city of Kingston and intimating to him that his scheme was a mammoth one, one that Jamalca was too small to put over, and that if he went to the United States he would find himself inside of ten years at the head of the greatest Negro movement ever inaugurated in the world. And his words were nearly true that evening. After commenting on the great size of the gathering and the enthusiasm displayed, Mr. Dumas gave a brief account of the work he had done in the Island of Jamaica. He started a church in Kingston with four members, and he was glad to relate that on the sixth of May when he left Jamaica there was a registered membership of 4,486, with 28 churches and 8 ordained ministers. Sad to relate, his church in Kingston was recently destroyed by fire which had spread from a neighboring building, and it was his intention to begin the construction in August of a church made of brick at a cost of $10,000, the building to be erected and the money to be subscribed entirely by Negroes. HON. MARCUS GARVEY'S SPEECH Hon. Marcus Garvey spoke as follows: My subject tonight is "The Influence That Swayed the World." We are all living for some purpose—for good or evil. The impressions we make generally help and to a great extent to settle the activities and affairs of the world. Those impressions can be good ones and can be bad ones. In the history of the world we have read and heard of different characters—those who lived and moved in the earlier ages. Some of them we praise to this day for their good work and for their good deeds; others we condemn. Such is the course of man through life, and each and every one of us in some way or other, if he is conscious of himself, makes his imputes. As of individuals so of races, and as of races so of nations. History records the same accomplishments, the same deeds, the same impress for a race as for an individual, for a nation. And so we read of great and good nations and great and good peoples and races, and bad races and bad nations and bad peoples. Our Impress for Good or Evil We are called upon at this particular time to make all impress either for good or ill. We have decided, however, to make the best impress possible for as as human beings and to send it down the ages. We are out at girls time to influence the world with a program, with an ideal, to which and in which we invite every member of our race, seeking that as the individual is capable of making his impress and for good, so collectively if we get all these individuals, we can make the star impress as a test and as a reward. What the U. N. I. A. Socks to Do The Universal Negro Improvement Association needs to move Negro to come near a place to be needed goes, as for all the process we do to make the Non-Race of the Non-Race. We would be good we who should be consider a de- or to use the use of the work of we into in men. I consider the data we have to improve. Man is a dimspore of good a common. Min in his place on night is much of the way we do a good of the day. I am a shaper of the non-doctors. The is a seniorman to man the image him a possible of a complete and doing at an in-place doing. For being that to be�ing to pre- to turnout, the rate of the call-up and people to the materialism of an As I have told in many speeches before and in my writings and lectures, man in his personality, man in his character, man in his purpose is just a little lower than God. In fact, man in himself is a God better in part in attitude than that one God, that great God, that Abundant God who the embodiment of all humanity. I have told this philosophy down in Liberty Hall that in contemplating God and in reining ready who He is, God has great immunity, as to contemplate all the human souls in the world, all the creative genius of the world, bring them all together and in that one whole you have God who is the spiritual being and director of the whole Universe. What confer your individual genius is capable of producing, what confer your individual ability is capable of producing, multiply the world of such genius, multiply the world of such abilities and in the multiplication you have the great force God; you have the great source of the great Abundant power God; and in that each and every one of us makes a contribution to that God that we ourselves individually are gods; the congregation as a whole make the eternal God; and if we are individual gods being part of the great Creator become conscious of ourselves there is nothing that is possible to humanity that we cannot do. The Difference Between Men It is the science of knowing ourselves; and the lack of that science that creates this difference among men and this difference among races. All of us do not succeed in life as individuals, and all of us do not succeed in life as a race. It is simply because of the great difference in the one scientifically understanding himself or knowing himself as an individual and as a race and the other not knowing and understanding himself. Even in Liberty Hall tonight there are men of different positions and different occupations in life; of different prosperity in life. What is the cause of the difference? Why is it one man propars in the community and is always successful—has money and property—and the other has nothing? It is not because there is difference in the crea- Women You Liketo Look at tion; it is not because there is a difference in the make up of the individuals; not because all of us were not created out of the same natural human mould, but the difference is in the understanding of life and the knowledge of ourselves. The one man understands completely the source of life; has on his fingers' tips a knowledge of his existence; the other does not; and that makes all the difference in the world between individuals, races and people. Why the great white race is ahead of the Negro race and all the other races of the world is simply because of their scientific knowledge of life as it relates to them. The backwardness of the Negro is due to the lack of knowledge in that direction. It is that knowledge that the Universal Negro Improvement Association desires to convey to the 400,000,000 of our members throughout the world; and when we can implant into them that knowledge they will create the same influence on the work—they make the same impress as other races have done in ages past and are doing now and will do in the future. Visualizing the Object in View Do you know why there is probably a difference between Marcus Garvey and some of the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and others outside who are not in sympathy with the Universal Negro Improvement Association? It is simply this; because Marcus Garvey has been able to visualize the object in view and the other individual is not capable of doing that. That is the source of all success; that is the source of all progress in life. The man who is capable of attempting something and who from the outset is able to imagine the result of that something is the man who is bound to succeed in the accomplishment of that something. The man who can not imagine the outcome of that which he is attempting to do is the follower who is found to tail because he is taking desperate efforts. But the man who will visualize in his mind the object that he has in view is the man who is bound to make a success in life. That is what has made John D. Rockefeller successful; because he was able to visualize and frame in his mind the object of his attainment. That is what made Carnegie the success he was in the United States of America; that is what made the Schwabs, the Fricks, the Henry Fords, the Max Chikls, the Morgans and the Vanderbilt's great men different from the tramp in the gutter. Because they were able to visualize and create in their minds even at the outset the thing that they were staying after John D. Rockefeller had in his mind when he started to exploit oil, the great realization of the Standard Oil Trust. Andrew Carnegie had in his mind a complete idea of a great oil and steel trust when he started out on his venture in steel. Morgan had visualized the success of a great American financial institution. He saw at the start of his coming from all directions from all parts of the world to his institution for consideration and advice. He had that all visualized and planned in mind before he started the business was able to work successfully toward the commonization of this end. The Picture of Afracal's Redemption Why I feel so happy as because I have before me a complete picture of Afracal's redemption. That is why I am able to learn a lesson because, because the day when Afracal will be manhood in his life, he will be a tremendous help to the world and ever human to the world. The picture is as the limit. Is your BYSTEM run-down, weak, tired? Is your BLOOD PAIN "polegged," skin, watery? Is your BONE-MARROW drying up?

The man who attempts to go into the grocery business and cannot visualize a great grocery institution where he has ten trucks distributing groceries all over the city—where he employs a hundred men to assist him in that institution—where he has carloads of supplies coming up to his store every day—the man who cannot visualize that cannot make a success in the grocery business and he goes out of business in the next six months. But the man who can imagine his success is the man who will be careful enough to work up to that success by confidence in himself; and that is what destroys us in the world—lack of confidence in ourselves. Confidence . p. Yourselves You Like to are almost invariably those who have long, straight hair, which always looks smooth, soft and glossy. You simply can't afford to neglect your hair nowadays, because too many other women of our group are learning how much more attractive they can make themselves, by giving them hair the right kind of attention.

We are making history; we are making a contribution to the world that may last forever. We want you to become fully conscious of it and conscious of the responsibility. Each and every one of us in this building tonight—men and women—can make your individual impress—a better impress than you make now. There are few of us making any impress now. The only impress we make is that of eating three times a day and sleeping eight or twelve hours a day; but you don't move the world doing that; everybody does that; there is nothing exceptional in that; but there is something that each and every one can do that will live after you have ceased eating and you have ceased sleeping. You can have behind you such a contribution to the world that the world will never forget. There are certain people that the world can never forget if the world lasts for two million or five million years. Can the world forget Napoleon or Julius Caesar or Augustus Caesar or Alexander or David or Solomon or Cleopatra or Mark Antony or Madane Rowland or Robert Emmott or Roger Casement or Terence McSwiny or George Washington or Patrick Ivey or Abraham Lincoln? In the same way the world would forget these men and women, so the world will not forget you if you become conscious of yourselves and make your contribution to the world in which you live as Alexander did, as Caesar did, as Napoleon did, as George Washington did. Negro men of Liberty Hall, Negro women of Liberty Hall, are you going to register the fact that you once lived? (Cries of "Yes!") Register the fact that you lived not only by eating and sleeping, but by your exemplary deeds and accomplishments! We call upon you now for the performance of such deeds, for the performance of such accomplishments. We call upon you to build a nation out of a united race, to re-establish an Empire a glory to the world, a glory to civilization, and a tribute to our God. Can we do it? Other men have succeeded in other ages. Our fathers did it their units of years ago and as true holds to their ability, as heirs to their ambition, we are going to restore the glories of Ethiopia. And it seems to me it is written in the stars, because even the power behind the stars has declared, "Ethiopia shall come out of Egypt, Ethiopia shall stretch forth her lands unto God." And now we see scattered Ethiopia coming together in America in the West Indies, in South and Central America, coming together throughout the twelve million square miles of Africa, and when we arrive there four hundred millions strong we will take the pillars of world domination.

We Should Have More Farm Loan Associations (Lincoln News Service) WASHINGTON.—The Federal Farm Loan act provides a way of getting mortgage loans for farmers at low rates of interest, at lengths of time to suit the borrower and on easy terms of repayment. Ten farmers, the least number the law allows, may unite to form a national farm loan association. If more than ten get together so much the better, states Circular No. 2, issued by the Federal Farm Loan Bureau. The lowest sum any farmer can borrow is $100; the highest is $10,000. If a farmer has a mortgage on his farm and borrows money from the land bank, his mortgage lien, must be the first thing paid off with the money. If any surplus of his loan remains he can apply it for the purchase of fertilizers or live stock, the construction of a sale, the building of a barn, the erection of poultry houses, or for any other purpose which will improve the farm's value. But if a farmer has no mortgage on his farm and desires to borrow for improving it in any of the ways mentioned above, he can borrow money from the land bank of his district by giving a first mortgage on his farm. The mortgages may run not less than five years nor more than forty years. This system of rural credit offers the colored, farmers a splendid opportunity to refinance their mortgage loans at a low rate of interest. RETROSPECTION Sweet Isle!

Lincoln Poston, who died in sight of Liberty Hall, as it were, on returning to the United States, was sent to spy out the land, and it accomplished its mission in‘a splendid way. The au- thofities‘and the people of Liberia received them gladly and gave them assurances that they were welcome and so would be any who should come to them secking liberty and homes in the only purely Black Republic on the Continent of Africa, along with Abyssinia. which is an hereditary monarchy dating back to the Queen of Sheba. whom King Solomon delighted to honor. ‘A free country, a member’of the League of Nations, a country settled by American Negroes, rich beyond compare in soil, re- sources and climate, Liberia extended hands to their brothers in the ited States and the West Indies and Latin America, to come and help them make Liberia oite of the great nations of the earth. Wednesday night of last week a great outpouring of the people filled Liberty Hall to listen to the plans of the experts, headed by William W.'Strange, a graduate of Oberlin College and a man of ripe experience in engineering, who will shortly sail for Liberia, to begin the necessary preparations for ‘the reception of those who qualify to leave for Liberia, when the fall days come. Mr. Strange’s statement of what was expected of him and his associates was made in clean-cut English and with such fullness of information upon piactical things necessary to overcome difficulties by new settlers, as to gain the entire confidence of the big audience in his intelli- gence and competence to do the work expected of him. President General Marcus Garvey stirred the audience to fits of seriousness and levity, sober reflection and exuberant applause and laughter, in his statement of the purposes of the pioneers sent to prepare the way in Liberia for those who are expected to follow them. Those who want more detailed information about the proposed work of these’ pioncers of the-Universal Negro Improvement Asso- ciation will find it in the news columns, in the Liberty Hall section. IS EUROPE TURNING AGAINST AMERICA?, O man lives to-himself alone. There is no saying truer than N thia one. What is true of individuals is true of nations. It is.a natural disposition to seek companionship as per- gona and to seek alliances as nations, and we always seek it in.the one and the other case with those whose sentiments and interests are most akin to our own. Animals are like minded, seeking always association with those after their-kind.: ‘The difference between the human and the animal type in this one respect as in many others shows that, in some way, there is an indefinable relation, affinity, between them, and this is brought out in strong relief when the animals become domesticated and the relations hetween the human and the animal often become pathetic in their mutual admiration and sympathy. “Touch my dog and you touch me.” is current everywhere and among all people, and many bloody combats have been provoked by neglecting to observe the menace in the saying. . “The question is, therefore, pertinent and of far reaching import. Is Europe turning against America? We carry in another page of The Negro World today’an article from the ‘New York Times, headed, “Europeans Incline to Side With Japan,” which plainly ‘Shows that there is a tendency in Europe to turn on the United States upon which it relied so completely during and some. years aiter the World War, and upon which it, in some sort, mést rely now, in the many troubles that beset it as a debtor aggregation of nations, That is one of the causes of European distrust.’ It is worthy to be noted that nations: like individuals, are disposed: to sregard with guspicion those to whom they are indebted, obligated. Europe is heavily indebted to the United States and is ‘having: trouble to make up its mind'to pay back tle money loaned it in the “time of is needa. oe Official Europe is divided in opinion, the Times’ correspondent, declares, as between the United States and Japan, primarily over the question of American aloofness after the World War and since in the settlement of the war complications in the making of which the United ‘States was an active agency, and over the question of Japanese exclusion, the correspandént. saying: ““Thére are many face tors which explain why the American position does’ pot find full sympathy in Europe.

WEST INDIES _| !2dced. I seen E are gure the readers of The Negro @Vorld will be enter i tained’ and informed by the’article on “The Race Préb- Jem in the Caribbean,” by Mr. Robert Herrick, which we take from the nation of June 11. Mr. Herrick has his own viewr- point, and we are sure it will-affect all of our readers in a sympa- thetic way because the question is not only discussed without preju- dice but with a great deal of human sympathy, which is not always true of the American and European treatment. e We quite agree with Mr. Herrick that ultimately the West Indian Islands will be dominated by their Negro people who ate in a ma- jority of the population always, and who are constantly developing along the lines of racial association and co-operation in their social as in their civic and economic relations. On this point Mr. Herrick says: : “To all intents and purposes, then, this is a black country, officered and administered by colored people, largely for themselves. The whites are giving-up the struggle and abandoning the islands. They grumble about the labor, the economic ‘conditions, which comes down practically to this, that, profitable exploitation by white men is dependent upon an ample supply of very cheap labor.. The more the colored man rises in the economic and social scale the less profit can the white planter make off him. And the white man cannot stand the climate, in the long run, as the colored man can. The result,is inevitable. It ig to the credit of the English colonial that the white man accepts the inevitable in the only way that could prevent a nasty race problem, such as we have on our hands, in- creasingly.” . The Negro is waking up’ everywhere,.aM@ after a while he will he wide awake and actively laboring on his own job for hime If and 10t for another. . AN EDUCATED AFRICAN MINISTRY NEEDED HERE will be general satisfaction in Liberia that Bishop W I Sampson Brooks of the African Methodist Episcupal Churel will return to the West Coast to continue the educationa and other program of native uplift inaugurated by him in his firs four years in the African work. It is said that he has built a splendic college in Liberia for native education and was anxious to he re turned to that inviting field of labor: We think that it is unfertunat for the work that Bishop W.. T. Vernon will not return to the Sout! African work, but will he succeeded in it by Bishop J. A. Gregg, late president of Wilberforce University, and splendidly eqitipped for the work before him. Bishop Vernon seemed to make a spleniid success of his four years’ residence in South Africa, and’ it is’ be: cause we sball lose the large bencht of his experience that we regret he will not return to the work.. Experience in the work goes a long way’ in getting results worth while. Bishop Gregg will have te spend as much time in South Africa as Bishop Vernon has spent to know as much about the work as Rishop Vernon knows. But we have faith to believe that Bishop Gregg will make a good success of his work in South Africa. We believe that the race in Africa has suffered much because of the short time our bishops have remained in a given field, ‘The building of colleges and industrial schools in Africa, which all of our churches have adopted or. contemplate adopting, for the education of native youths is, we believe, of the very first importance. What the Christian work most needs in Africa is an educated native hish- opric and ministry—natives educated in Africa to do work in Africa This work has been begun and more interest should be taken in it if the best results of evangelizing the natives are to he the outcome of much spending of missionary money and effort. To,have theit own, bishops and ministry, members of the race natives to the eoil, and best acquainted with the disposition and aspiration of the mass of the peaple, will serve as the best sort of inspiration of the masses to higher and better things in living. Africans, educated in Europe and America, are educated in some sort oitt of relation and sym pathy with the surroundings and hopes of the masses of the people. It has seemed that way to us. Every mission school and college in Africa should not only teach the people how to die, but how to live as well; necessarily, therefore, every such school and college should have an industrial, agricul tural and scientific department, s0 that the natives shinld he abte| to learn how to do things, to regulate their industrial efforts, and to] estimate soils and to know the value of minerals and dyestufis, in order that they may be the better able to get the most out of their physical and mental possibilities. Those who prefer the wark of the ministry would take to that, as they do in the United States. but they should he 80 educated as to be jn the hest possible prsitinn| to decide what they prefer to do. ee ‘What we all want to do more is to learn more abrnt what we really want to do and how best to do it.a8 to get the most out ot what we do. That is the crying need everywhere we are, and the Universal Negro Improvement’ Association aims .to be a light and leading factor in the necessary work.

From the New York Sun. One hears a great deal of gossip in Washington these days, about what would happen if no candidate for President should receive a majority of votes of the Electoral College as a result of the election next November. Much of this gossip emanates from the group of radicals supporting La Follette of Wisconsin, who would like to see him bolt the Republican party. Another reason for the interest that is displayed in the question is that the present House of Representatives the present House of Representatives, upon which would fall the responsibility of choosing a President in the event of no choice in the national elections, neither the Republican nor the Democratic party controls a majority of the State delegations. That would throw the election into great confusion, as the States would vote as a unit, each having one vote. at once becomes apparent from a close study of the existing membership. Delegation Exactly Divided Two known factors justify that prediction. In the first place, five States—Maryland, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire and New Jersey—have delegates exactly divided between Democrats and Republicans. Assuming that all States would vote in the House in strict accord with the The LaFollette supporters think the Wisconsin Senator as an independent candidate for President might carry Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota, and possibly Montana, which they say would easily be enough to keep either of the leading candidates from receiving a majority of electoral votes. Then with the election thrown into the House the radicals expect that they could dictate the choice by manipulation. Conservatives Not Impressed. Conservative politicians who have heard this sort of gossip many times do not take much stock in the possibility of the election being thrown into the House, but some other members of Congress regard it more seriously Representative Evans, Republican, of Montana, one of the States where radicalism has been manifest recently, has prepared a statement of the situation and inserted it in the Congressional Record for the information of all concerned. Only twice did the history of the Government—in 1891 and 1825—has the House of Representatives elected a President; and only once—in 1877—has the Senate elected a Vice-President. In 1891 the Electoral College failing to elect, the decision went to the House of Representatives, the leading candidates being Jefferson and Burr on the one side and Adams and Pinckney on the other. For thirty-five ballots the House was deadlocked. At that time these were七十八 States and on each side of the thirty-five ballots Jefferson received eight votes, and on the thirty-sixth ballet the deadlock was broken and Jefferson was chosen by ten votes. John Quincy Adams's Election The second election by the House was in 1854 the leading candidates being John Quiney Adams, Andrew Jackson and Henry Clay. At that time there were twenty four States, each State, of course, having but one vote, and on the first ballot thirteen States voted for John Quiney Adams, and he was declared elected. The electoral count would be held in the hall of the House on the second Wednesday of the states, 1855, and as the vote must be made by the House "immediately" after the Electoral College has to elect the present House would act. The balloting must be in States. A quorum consists of two-thirds of the States. A majority of all the States is required for a choice. The candidate must be 21 to the three persons receiving the highest votes in the Electoral College. In case the House law not made an election by March 1 then the duty would develop upon the Senate to choose the Wife Precinct, who would be also appointed Precinct. It is not impugnable that the present House was elected to be a party to the required majority. This [Picture of a man in profile].

Delegation Exactly Divided Two known factors justify that prediction. In the first place, five States—Maryland, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire and New Jersey—have delegates exactly divided between Democrats and Republicans. Assuming that all States would vote in the House in strict accord with the present party strength, neither the Democratic nor Republican nominee for President could win the necessary majority. The States now having a majority of Democrats in their House membership number twenty, with twenty-three Republicans controlled, whereas twenty-five would be a majority of all the States. The States having a majority of Republican members in their House delegations are as follows: LET'S PUT IT OVER Vermont, 2 Republicans, no Democrats; Washington, 4 Republicans, 1 Democrat; Wisconsin, 10 Republicans, 1 Socialist; Wyoming, 1 Republican, no Democrats. The States having a majority of Democratic members are: Delegations Equally Split The States having an equal number of Democrats and Republicans are Maryland, 3 Republicans, 2 Democrats; Montana, 1 Republican, 1 Democrat; Nebraska, 3 Republicans, 3 Democrats; New Hampshire, 1 Republican, 1 Democrat, and New Jersey, 6 Republicans, 6 Democrats. Should the House devolve and for the elect prior to March 4, then the Senate shall choose a Vice President, selecting one of the two candidates who received the highest electoral vote. The Vice President so elected automatically becomes President. In the choice of a Vice President each Senator had a vote, and as there can be but two candidates, there is no opportunity for a deadlock. Philippine Independence Wins in Debate A well-carned verdict was won by the affirmative in a debate between members of the Gere Social and Debating Club on Saturday night at the T. M. C. A. building, West 133th street. The subject was "Resolved. That the Filipinos Be Given Independence" Mr. C. John, the able leader of the affirmative, held his audience spell-bound with facts. "The rights of races or nations," said he, "are protected by a heterogeneous nation, because that protection will ultimately become an asset to the protector." More impetus was added to the affirmative by the pregnant remarks of Mr. C. Williams. The negative, led by Mr. H. A. Grandlicon and Mr. J. Porter, tried to overcome the opposition, but without success. Children Under Five Years of Age PHILADELPHIA...In the State of Pennsylvania there are 274 colored children under five years of age per 1,000 colored women 15 to.44 years of age, as compared with 541 white chil- dren per 1,000 white women of the same age group. In Ohio the proportion is 286 colored and 413 white children. In New York, 219 colored and 304 white; and in Illinois, 227 colored to 426 white children. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JUNE 14, 1984 CHARLESTON, S. C. June 3.—Hon. William L. Sherrill in both addresses, at Carpenters' and Harleston's Halls respectively, captivated his audiences with the masterful manner in which he outlined the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. His speech in part follows: "I am tired hearing of the worry about the 'big fellow.' Cease your worrying about the 'big fellow'; it is the 'little fellow' who really counts, for when we get the 'little fellow' the 'big fellow' will automatically fall in line. for the 'big fellow' gets his from the check that the 'little fellow' draws from the firm where he works. Some of the big preachers talk against the Universal Negro Improvement Association. The Universal Negro Improvement Association is not against the church; it is not against Christianity. Its membership has got to lead in the interest of the race, so we are going to get a new program. The time has come when the black preachers have got to preach a new gospel; they have been pointing us too long to pearly gates; we want some gates here. The Negro wants to know how he is going. The condition of this race of nine brings more upon his shoulders than any other race. This association contends for everything that any other race enjoys. "We know whereof we speak when we talk about the work in Africa. If I were a Japanese, I would not be interested in the Negro; if I were a Japanese I would be talking about laying foundations for the education of Japanese children. Talking about white supremacy, if we were white, we would be talking about building for a great white race. As I am a Negro, I have to talk about Negro children. I have not come to talk about building a church; I have come to talk about bigging up a great Negro government to protect black men everywhere. I have come representing the Negro. Do you know who the Negro is? The world knows who the Negro is. The moment you tell the world to look for the Negro, they know just where to look for him. When the world looks at the Negro, they do not look for the man at the top; they look for the man at the bottom. What is he? He is something to use to till other men's fields; he is something the world would use to build up their countries. The Negro, what is he? Something that will construct other men's towns and countries, something that will build other men's governments and fight other men's conflicts, but will not do anything for himself. "The Negro is something you can lynch and no one says anything. He will be legal to other races; he is something that has never proved a traitor to the other man's conflict, but the moment that one of his own stars something he is ready to turn traitor and turn out everything. I am here to try to help the Negro. The Negro is something who is ashamed of himself and thinks, to be anything, he has got to use all the bleaches and hair-straightening that Walker and Percan can put out. He does not like the color of his skin. You will not rise here in America. The Japanese remain a Japanese, and is proud to retain the color of his skin; he has evolved his own culture, his own art, distinctly for the Japanese people. He keeps the best he finds and needs to any other race, but fundamentally he remains a Japanese. The Chinese likewise. The black man, if he lives in America, imitates everything the white man is doing. "He tries to change his actions. Everywhere he goes he is an imitator. When you do that, you destroy the talent that God gave you as a race. I have a way to do that that is all my own. If somebody learns me talk in the next room, he says, 'That is Sherrell.' An individual has individuality all his own. A race has a way of doing things a race has a way to bring things to hear, where another race will fall. The Japanese has the Japanese individuality, all the Chinese his individuality. We destroy ourselves, and the moment Sherrell talks like someone else he destroys that which God gave him through imitating someone else. If the Negro allows his blood to be destroyed, he will hear the same the fellow board who buried his talent. His job is to preserve the Negro race. "The Negro is being destined through amalgamation. The mulatto in our race is increasing. One hundred and fifty years from now it will be difficult to find a little pure blood in the United States, and after a while there will be no Negro race in the United States. Everywhere the white man goes he mixes his blood with the Negro. He does not care about mixing his blood, but he wants to be the one to do the mixing. "The Universal Negro Improvement Association says it is as great as any race in the world. The Negro must work out his own destiny in order to prove to the world that he can do in this world what other races have done. The white man says the Negro is inferior; the Negro says he is not. Other races have given to the world a civilization, and you have not done so. That is what the white man means when he says the Negro is inferior. Show me your own racial contribution you have made. That is a big job that is before the race. The job that the Universal Negro Improvement Association has tackled is indeed a big one. The job is so big that the Negro cannot see it; it seems too big for him. If you talk to him about opening a little meat shop, or something of the kind, he could see it. We wendy the big Negro thinks you are easy; it is ted big. If you told him that any other race was going to do so, he could see it and believe it. "The white man is years ahead. The Negro reminds me more of a lightning bug than anything I know of. The Negro puts a lot of confidence in other people. Nobody's heart is going to change; we are living today in a selfish aoe. "Christ has been dead 1,924 years; we are living in an age when man tries to keep everything for himself. He does not care anything about loyalty and devotion. The white man and the brown man is looking out for himself and is not taking the Negro into his calculations. Until the black man lines up and does something for himself, he will always be the tool for other people. The black man sells out too easily. We are out to redeem Africa by fair means if we can." Reports that the officers of the Liberian government are opposed to this organization are not true. After explanation concerning the Liberian government and the association the speaker wound up his most excellent speech. The secretary of the Hon. Mr. Sherrill delivered spitted addresses at each meeting and proved himself a wonderful money-getter. The weather was very bad in the afternoon, but the crowd was surprising. At Harleston's Hall, in the evening, seats were at a premium, and, through the efforts of Mr. Richard Bellenger, Prof. W. E. Dorsa, a friend of the organization, got up a chorus and rendered splendid music for the occasion. The professor rendered solos and his voice is excellent. Through this medium we also thank the ladies who took part in the program, several being friends of the organization. Special mention must be made of Mrs. Adena Smalls, soprano soloist, and Mrs. Georgiana Pelld, contralto, for their splendid renditions. Others taking part in the program were Mrs. Richard Bellenger, who read a paper; Meolames, Ophela Freeman and Weston, Missa Alice Kelly and Andie Wilson, and Mr. Glover, bass. MRS. ESSIE DORSETT. Equity Congress met in session Sunday afternoon, June 15 at 5 o'clock, at Elks Hall, 162 West 129th street, New York City, with Speaker Charles H. Bailey in the chair. After the reading of the minutes and clearing up routine business, the discussion of the subject of the day was taken up. This subject, the necessity for having all offices in the Fifteenth Infantry filled by race men, from colonel down to lance corporal, afforded a wide field, and the members of the congress entered the discussion with vigor. Among the leading speakers were Mr. E. J. Decker, a very popular teacher of Philadelphia, who recently was a candidate for the mayor in a town in Pennsylvania; Mr. Hamilton Travis, substantial citizen who is for all matters looking to the betterment of our people; and the Speaker, Christopher H. Bailey, who incidentally was particularly fitted to discuss the matter in view of years of service in the famous Tenth Cavalry of the regular army. It was the conclusion of opinion that we are entitled to a solid Narrative treatment, with all colored officers, and that the glorious, good of the Fifteenth warrants the extension of that distinction to it by the State. We shall therefore work our tenuity with this end in view, causing our soldiers accordingly and making our wishes felt, and in the end we feel satisfaction of achieving success in the matter. The Speaker announced the result of several communications from church and community planners taking cooperation in the efforts we are making for our future meetings. We also expected the time the committee will work on the committee and district helped solve the T. Thomas Fortune at the district meeting. Mr. Fortune at the district meeting has been very helpful in getting the committee started to elect one of our group to the National Council and is期待为我们的团体在未来 The Speaker will be sure that the subject for the coming Sunday will be your and election of congressional and other committees.

It has twice in the past adopted child labor laws which were declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court. These laws forbade the employment of any child under 14 in mills, shops or factories, and of any child under 16 in mines or quarries; they also forbade the employment of any child under 18 at night or for more than forty-eight hours a week. These proposals were by no means too drastic. Eighteen States already have laws which come up to or pass the same standard. Their purpose was not to prevent children from learning how to work but to save children from working under conditions that imperil their mental, moral and physical welfare. It has been estimated that more than a million children are now employed throughout the country under pervious conditions, most of them in the Southern States. It is not because such children add to the family resource that they are primarily so employed but because they supply cheap labor. This exploitation of them must go just as years ago the custom was ended of employing women in the mines to do work that made them more beasts of burden. There is little doubt that the proposed constitutional amendment will be specially adopted by the State legislatures in the necessary number.

AMENDMENT TO PROTECT CHILD LABOR PROPOSED Must Be Ratified by Thirty-six States to Become Fundamental—Southerners Opposed It Congress has responded to overwhelming popular sentiment by passing a resolution providing for a constitutional amendment on the subject of child labor. The resolution was adopted by large majorities in both bodies of the national legislature. The vote in the House was 237 to 62; in the Senate it was 62 to 23. In both cases the minorities were mainly made up of Southern legislators responsive to the arguments of the textile industry. But a few Senators and Representatives appear to have been genuinely influenced by the idea that the proposed amendment would be an unwarrable interference with State rights. The resolution now goes to the State legislatures, and thirty-six of them will have to adopt it before the amendment is embodied in the fundamental law. When they have done so it will be legal for Congress to pass a law prohibiting or regulating the labor of all persons under 15 years of age. The amendment is not mandatory but permissive. Congress may or may not act on it, as it sees fit, and any State may, if it chooses, pass a law more severe than the Federal act. Perhaps a sign of what Congress may do will be found in what Congress has MR. H. R. W. SARROW, P. C. Box 47, Hamilton Orange Station, NEW YORK CITY.

BIRTHPLACE OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY SAID TO HAVE BEEN IN WISCONSIN Early Beginnings of the Party That Abolished Slavery and Saved the Union of the States-Gradual Changes in Party Policy This is a Presidential year. Sixty-four years ago the Republican party came into power, with Abriham Lincoln as President. The campaign was fought mainly on the question, not of the survival but of the further extension of slavery into free territory. It was by no design of the leaders of the Republican party that the war that followed finally became one to save the Union and free the slaves, and that the party came to be known as "The Party of Human Rights." The policy of the party toward the Negro people has undergone many changes and the meeting at Cleveland this week marks a turning point in the fortunes of the party and gives point to the following article taken from the New York World bearing upon the birthplace of the Republican party which we are sure is of vital interest to the readers of The Negro World.

On the eve of the Presidential campaign and national convention it is timely to review the political conditions which led to the launching of the great party of Lincoln and Grant, and other great leaders. From the records of historians, the inception dates back to 1854, and, if this date is acceptable, this will be the seventieth anniversary of the founding. The period between 1852 and 1854 was one of unrest and commotion, such as the nation had not experienced since the adoption of the Constitution, and which was surpassed only by the agitation which attended the outbreak of the Civil War eight years later, and of which it was the precursor. Parties were disintegrating in the cuckable of public opinion, and their mutually repellant elements were seeking new associations. Auto-Slavery Whigs and Anti-Slavery Democrats were found in sympathy and alliance with each other, while the pro-slavery factions were Who Is Your Skinny Friend, Ethel?

The Eyesight Specialist RELIABLE and REASONABLE EYES EXAMINED FREE 531 LENOX AVENUE NEW YORK Opposite Harlem Hospital drifting in a similar manner toward a common centre. There was a widespread—almost a universal—demand for the organization of a new party based upon resistance to the further extension of slavery, a chief incentive being found in the wrongs and outrages perpetrated in the effort to plant that institution in Kansas. Gatherings in protest were held that adopted resolutions denouncing slavery. These meetings were held in nearly every Northern State during 1854. A typical assemblage was that at Ottawa, Ill., on August 1 of that year, which adopted resolutions denouncing slavery, and also the Whig and Democratic parties as unbound in principles and which contained this paragraph: "In co-operation with the friends of freedom in other parts of the Union, we hereby form ourselves into the 'Republican Party,' pledged to bring the administration back to the original principles of liberty." The Ottawa citizens then agreed to call a State mass meeting for August 16 in Bloomington, which was attended by delegates from many points in Illinois, and which adopted similar resolutions. Wisconsin Real Birthplace While Illinois has long claimed the distinction of being the birthplace of the Republican party, yet Wisconsin disputes this on the ground that the earliest movement that contemplated definite action toward the formation of a new party was made at Ripon on February 28, 1854, in the Congregational Church, when a mass meeting was called by Major Alvan E. Bovay, a prominent Whig, and who won his little later bring the Civil War. He provided and procured the adoption of a resolution which, in substance, called for the formation of a new party, to be known as "Republican." If the Senate moved the bill, then pending, to throw Kansas and Nebraska open to slavery. The Senate adopted the measure and Major Bovay called another meeting, held at the same place on March 2, to form the new party. Many believe that the two meetings in Ripon marked the earliest systematic effort to bring about the condition of the enemies of slavery extension, who were eventually forced into a homogeneous and oppressive party, adopting the name of "Republican." Enlisted Horace Greeley Two years previously, Rovay felt that the Whig party had outlived its usefulness and that its end was near. While in New York in 1852 he called upon his old friend, Horace Greeley, and expressed his forebodings. He issued Greeley to come out in the Tribute editorially in behalf of the party, but it was not until June 24, 1854, that Greeley deemed it advisable to do so. Rovay was more solicitous about the name, realizing that there was a charm about the word "Domoocracy" that had to be overcome by another equally influential and appealing. He maintained that "Republican" was its only counterpart, significant, flexible and magical, and the suggestion of Rovay THE NEGRO WORLD; SATURDAY, JUNE 14, 1824 Finally won. While it may not be accurate to state, that Bovay was the creator of the Republican party, yet it is certain that no individual has a better claim. It is also true that the spirit was active in 1854 in practically every village and city of the free states which would, have been the inspiration of that party, even if Bovay and Greesley had never been born. Bovay, it must be conceded, was the first person to set out in a resolve, persistent and practical way to form a new party, and Greesley, through the New York Tribune, gave invaluable aid in making the party and name known to the country. Michigan Held First Convention Michigan, claims the distinction of holding the First State convention of the Republican party at Jackson, July 6, 1854, which nominated minor officers to be elected that fall. Jacob Howard, one of the leading Michigan Whigs, received a letter from Greeley, stating that Wisconsin was to hold a convention a week later, at which time the name "Republican" was to be formally adopted, and suggesting that Michigan select and take the honor away from the Badger State. This was done. Later, in the fall, Vermont, New York, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania took similar action. Illinois, whether rightly or wrongly, claims the honor of being the birthplace of the new party, asserting that its principles were never placed so accurately and so convincingly before the nation until Abraham Lincoln delivered his famous "lost speech" at the State convention held in Bloomington on May 29, 1856. It is an extraordinary coincidence that one Illinois Senator, Jesse B. Thomas, in 1850, introduced the bill known as the "Missouri Compromise"; another Illinois Senator, Stephen A. Douglas, thirty-four years later, brought about the repeal of that measure; while it fell to the lot of another Illinoisman, Abraham Lincoln, not only to lead the forces which put an effectual check upon the further spread of slavery, but to give vitality to the act which was to wipe out the institution. Illinois, in assorting its claims for recognition as being the birthplace of the Republican party, holds that the great majority of the meetings of 1854 in relation to a new party utilized the name of "Anti-Nebraskan," while the gathering held in Bloomington that year unequivocally used the word "Republican." It is further maintained that the Illinois State convention held in Major's Hall, still standing in Bloomington, on May 29, 1856, was the real launching and that all other gatherings were simply preliminary. Lincoln's "Loat Speech" Enthralled There were giants of eloquence upon the forum of Illinois in those stirring days, and every one attended this momentous, history-making assemblage. All of the oratoryal efforts, however, were bedimmed by the epitralling efforts of Lincoln. There are two known survivors of that meeting who heard the "lost speech," John A. Fulkwer and Charles L. Capen, both lawyers of Bloomington. They agreed, as did all who heard it, that they had never previously, or later, heard a speech which exerted such power and influence upon an audience. After repelling, with great power and earnestness, the charge of disunion made against the Anti-Nebraska party, he stood as if on tip toe, his tall form erect, his long arms extended, his face firmly radiant with the flush of excitement and, as if addressing those who preferred the charges, he slowly but impressively declared: "We do not intend to dissolve the Union, nor do we intend to permit you to dissolve it." As he dramatically uttered these memorable and prophetic words the convention arose as one man and there was a universal burst of applause, repeated over and over again. All of the metropolitan and most of the provincial papers of Illinois were represented at this gathering. Joseph Meddl of the Chicago Tribune represents that paper and was also a delegate from York County. TRUST By J. M. STUART-YDUNG Three shafts there are in Cupid's armory.

Skies that pale the deepest turquoise, woods and floris of varied green Make as fair a panorama as can anywhere be seen. There the gorgeous bougainvillea and the coroleta bloom. And the balmy air is ever redolent with the perfume Of the trailing stephanotis and the jasmine's star-shaped flowers. Which with every flirting zephyr flutter down in fragrant showers. Fifty feet or more above you with the passing of each breeze Aeolus makes plaintive music in the casurina trees. Such the softness of that music touched by those aerial fingers. That the ear is all uncertain if the strain has stopped or lingers. Humming birds and butterflies like radiant gems go flashing by: And wherever fall your glances some attraction meets the eye: Honey bees 'mong flowering trees are slipping nectar all day long: And from the stately cabbage palms soft comes the wooddoves tender song. And at sundown! O. the opalescent glory of the sky! Flaming gold and softer saffron on a turquoise bed inlaid. Now the sun greets Oceanus! And the passion of his kiss.

His blood mourned his death in the Transported to a more secure It was hailed through his veins to hasten The "master" to gain his gold. And the half that the blood mourned fired Has never, no, never, been told It was not that he perished on a tire Nor stole why he was confined It was only that nature gave him The trend of the alien mind. Only that he fell as a fm To the race that had been made. So he sat in the white man's prison. He felt he had lost power. That slaves had bowed at his holding And kingdoms had been his downs. And he missed how "princes in Egypt Shall rise" at the promised hour. He may die in the white man's prison. But the wrong is the white man's own. He perverted the laws of nature.

To direct the soul in the path of preparation it is needful then, first and last, that that soul should be struggling to be true. This desire is cramped, is injured, by the fall. And one of the blessed gifts of the regenerate is a more earnest revival, of such desire. To be true is to be like God. And in whatever measure any soul is bereft of God, in that measure it is dead. Pride is a form of falsehood. It is the soul. In its untruthfulness, taking itself for Him who is its life and end. Sensuality is the same. It takes the lower desires and puts them in place of the object of its being. And, further, there is the whispered falsehood, accepted as truth, that God will not punish, that God is "mocked." My friends, "God is not mocked." God is not a man, that He should lie God will surely punish. O soul, seeking for light, preparing to meet Him, pray to be delivered from the lie. Strive to be true. Few things can be imagined more terrible than the position of a soul which has been untrue to itself, face to face with the great Judge. And yet how difficult? Where then, can we see the perfect example of the magnificence, the necessity of truth? Need I answer? In Christ. The most implacable of H. euenies cannot but confess, as a prominent feature of that matchless life, its transparent sincity. Turn them, to that feature of the perfection of humanity. What do we learn? We learn that there are at least three kinds of espacery against truth observable in human character: that Christ's words are clear, but exact and simple. When I am there are the just expression of His thought that is of the thoughts of God, and sin called out more than repentance called from the tender heart of most these indulgences that we will hypocritically hypocritically to the sign of elbows are forbidden. It is to tell them creeping to obey the will of the springs of life. It will permit it victim to hold a respectable place among his followers to be even briefly resourced to win a certain amount of popularity and to carry a good name to the world. It allow the presence of Christ which had no power to it. It can play the part of the devil in the temptation of it. It is that form of Christ that forms with us most of the things we do. (6) There is another common form of friendship which we call in ordinary social intercourse, the daily dealing of trade, are rife with诱惑. Beliefhood for a time may be voracious; it can conquer in the end. In history it may reign even half a dozen centuries, but it is three times never permanent. It may indeed mark the ground, as the serpent leaves his trail; it cannot alter the form of solid fact. It may, like a cloud wreath of storm, stain the heavens for an hour; it cannot obliterate the burning blue. In literature it may daze a dozen critiques, create an undeserved reputation or break a noble spirit, but, like the authorship of Ossian's poems or the true parent of poor Chasterton's forgeries, sooner or later "the truth will out." In private life it may conceive a contemporary or deceive as chance acquaintance, but its evil presence will be detected by a constant and sincere companion. In the inner life it may even deceive. At last, the deceiver, but conscience at some time, will surely whisper and, at any rate, Phone Morningside 1811 LAFAYETTE THEATRE 7th Ave. At 132nd St. New York City NOW PLAYING Exclusive Showing in New York City WILLS AND MADDEN FIGHT PICTURES in conjunction with the BIG MILLER REVUE there is opening a day of judgment. Falsehood cannot conquer in the end. No; but "how it irritates my!" Quite true, but why be staggered? The Paulist himself was heartbroken at the victory of evil until he "went into the sanctuary of God." It is in that Divine Presence, it is near Him, that we learn the exceeding and ultimate blessedness of those "who lose their lives to find them." The world in its modern garb is wedded to evil and half-heartedness. Behold it on every hand. See it in every walk of life. Ah, me! This world, what a wild confusion of untruth; this heart, how treacherous Strange double life! We start in horror at the world and at ourselves. There seems no hope, no light; confusion, misconstruction, misunderstanding everywhere; everywhere untruth. Yes, there is hope. Step out into the night and look up in the shining moonlight. A slender trail of scudding cloud is sweeping on across the blue. The cloud is passing, but above the heaven lies quiet; true, sternal, still, as that life life that one day will be, after our waking from this feverish dream. The struggle goes on. But remember that truth shall be enthroned in each life, when the soul is penetrated by the power of love. Choose ever the highest and spurn all 'low successes,' compared with this diviner failure. In you the final empire of truth is a consequence of real victory, to others a heart-stirring proclamation. When the messenger from Marathon reached the first threshold of Athens, his life was well-night spent. In joy for the great news he brought to his country, he cried in that sweet double-meaning gracious phrase, "Rejoice and farewell." And you, brave heart, speeding to your end, death stricken with exertion, yet with soul anguow from victory, shall kiss your hand to earth and all its dear and saddening memories, but the same wind that bruises your sigh of sorrow shall be atie behind you a sweet song of joy. There is a difficulty of and necessity for truth. In our complicated life it is not easy to be truthful, but it is necessary. It is not easy to do any duty, we must not crave ease in our strife, but a bold and faithful heart, God is truth, and God is reigning. In the revolution of the faith, He gives the loops of eternal truth, and the soul which gazes with a spiritual intent, and spiritual love begins to see at the full and blessed vision. And in the moral life the upward eye is surely helped by some alm of truth and duty, some faint incarnation of the will of God; gazing and following, cleverer grows the vision at last, at last it will be satisfied. Look for His teaching. Decease to do. You may mistake, not always. You will lose much, but not the chiefest treasure. Loss is not ruin, mistake is not occasion. When a loss, those who die the Spirit will guide you, and God will reign. It often noted on the level of great matter that the course of the end of them came, with their labors unintended. They worked in all lines of endeavor without interruption. They had no difficulty in so doing. Mr. Maitre was very much in the foreground. We have not seen him until now. Is it a prophecy from么? Is it a prophecy in the past? No, Christ is the two words, and we know in these two words of a prophecy present now, in the past of God. The allegory of God Churches Like Parties Outgrow Their First Policies "Our. Protestant denominations are very much like our political parties," says Glenn Frank, probing to the root causes of the war in the churches, in his editorial in the June Century. Mr. Frank is probably the best informed layman on religious questions. He says: "Both our Protestant denominations and our political parties came into existence as champions of ideas and beliefs that had, or may have had, reality at the time, but most of the specific issues that called them into existence have been met or mankind has come to see that they were not as real as they seemed. So that our Protestant denominations, like our two major political parties, are the artificially animated ghosts of dead issues. Their separate existences are not justified by realities. There is as great variety of temperament and as great diversity of opinion within our political parties as between our political parties, within our denominations as between our denominations. They have outlived the reasons that called them into existence. They are held together by inertia, by pride of organization and by the power, often the unconscious power, of vested interests. The various denominations of Protestantism are no more making unique or distinctive contributions to the advancement of good government; Religious denominationalism is to the spiritual future of the race what political nationalism is to the social future of the race, an obsolete conception standing in the way of that "moral and intellectual reunion of mankind" that is the old valid goal of history.

The Universal Negro Improvement Association is now appealing, to the members of the organization and members of the race everywhere to do their beat 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 affect 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 its 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. All members should collect and send in to the fund. Address all your donations to the Secretary General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, 66 West 135th Street, New York, U. S. A.

Ball Presses Howard University Athletic Bill (Lincoln News Service) WASHINGTON:--Senator L. Heinrich Ball, Republican, of Delaware, rose from his seat in the Senate last Monday and asked for unanimous consent for the immediate consideration of Bill S. 2344, "To enable the trustees of Howard University, to develop an athletic field and gymnasium project, and for other purposes." The bill carries an apt description of $5000, and, among other things, contains the provision that "the Secretary of War is hereby authorized and directed to respond to the trustees of the Howard University a triangular plot of land now included in McMillan Park and situated between Fountain Street, Fifth street and the McMillan Park Reservoir at the price per foot formerly paid to the seed university by the Federal State for the land property, subject to such terms and conditions as may be prescribed by the Secretary of War. Although the bell was passed over on Monday, Senator Bell and his party colleagues will undoubtedly call it up in the near future and press it more, which will mean much to Howard University.

Truth Is, Negro Has Added New Strength to Wasted American Physical and Mental Complex INSTRUCTIONS FOR MEMBERS OF UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., June 4. The crimes of Nathan F. Leopold, Jr., and Richard Loeb, charged with blood-lust murders, were brought before 400 of America's leading authorities on diseases of the mind, attending the convention of the American Psychiatric Association here, in a remarkable address delivered by Dr. Liewellyn Barker, professor of clinical medicine at Johns Hopkins University, today. Pleading for an awakening of the public mind to the prevalence of mental disorder and the need for widespread educational efforts toward prevention as against current public satisfaction with institutional systems of incarceration and treatment, Dr. Barker drew a startling picture of the mental health situation in the United States. 1. Be a loyal member by sticking always to the principles of the Association and defending its rights against the enemies of freedom. 2. Pay your dues and annual assessment regularly, so that the Association can have ready capital to carry on its work. 3. Read and study from cover to cover your Constitution, so that no one can take advantage of you by infringing upon your constitutional rights. "If the public could be accurately informed," he said, "of the prevalence of abnormal thought, feeling and behavior in the United States, such indifference as now exists regarding prevention would become inconceivable. If the public fully realized how much insanity, mental deficiency, criminality and incapacity for social effectiveness actually exists, and how easily much of these could be prevented by the adoption or wise measures that are practicable, even in the present state of knowledge, one cannot but feel that apathy would be displaced by activity and that a vigorous prophylactic camp, palign through education and legislation would be peremptorily demanded." Discussing the relation of precocity to abnormality and the necessity for supervision of the mental health of students in schools and colleges, Dr. Barker cited the case of the Chicago youths as an example. 4. See to it that your local Secretary makes a monthly report of all moneys received and disbursed, and let him read the copy of his report to the Parent Body and produce receipt of acknowledgment for remittances, so that you can be sure that your Division is financial. 5. See to it that no Officer or anyone starts anything by way of raising money or doing business or creates any financial obligation on the Division without the proper consent first of the Parent Body and members of the Division at a special general meeting duly and properly called. 6. Look out always for sharpers and self-seekers, who are always anxious to promote new schemes for their own purposes. "It is a matter for the gravest consideration," he said, "through ill-regulated immigration on the one hand and through the relatively insufficient fertility of the mentally superior stocks on the other, that the general level of intelligence and character in the United States is bound to fall unless we take the necessary steps, to prevent it. 7. Put down at all times disloyalty to the Parent Body from Officers or members. 8. Pay no money without getting a receipt. 9. Don't loan your money to individuals. "As race biologists with biological training and understanding have made clear to us, the decay of a people composed of a mixture of superior and inferior stocks can be combated either by diminishing the fertility of those who are below average capacity or by increasing the fertility of those above the average capacity. Of the two methods, the latter is probably of far greater importance than the former, but the task of devising methods by which the capable can be induced to become adequately fertile is not an easy one. 10. Don't take anything for granted. You must be shown. 11. Don't go into anything you don't understand. 12. Don't pay your money to anyone except a duly elected or credited Officer of the Association. 13. Don't entertain anyone as a representative of the Parent Body except the person can show you credentials properly signed and up to date by President-General. "The future of the American people has already been definitely peopardized in the past by the importation of large numbers of slaves of the colored race by the admission of herds of derivatives of inferior hereditary stocks through lack of effective supervision, and other legislative policies that have the predilegantization of the population rather than the improvement of its innate endowments. Many of these errors can never be retrieved, but corrective measures should wherever possible be employed in order to prevent the extinction of the best constituents of our mixture of racial stocks." 14. Don't allow anyone to come in your Division and disorganize you or interfere in your local affairs, except the person has authority and proper credentials from the Parent Body. 15. Don't buy any stock from anybody claiming to be identified with the Parent Body or any Local. We are not selling any stock. 16. Don't sell your property or anything you have without first seeing and knowing that you are going to profit by it. Look out and don't allow self-seeking Officers or members to sell the Organization's property to buy others, so that they can make a commission for themselves. The real responsibility for the tragic events of Leopold and Leo tests with their parents, according to the consensus of opinion expressed here today by the delegates to the convention. The delegates include many of the most eminent American specialists in mental diseases, and the prosecution was freely made that the trial of the two youths will bring the greatest moral legal battle ever staged in this country. 17. There is no individual or Division so strong as the Parent Body, so watch out for self-seekers who speak against the Parent Body so as to be able to put over their little local schemes to the detriment of the members. While no resolution was passed, the delegates generally favored the establishment by each State of a permanent alumnet board, composed of expers, who could give accurate and impartial judgment a to the sanity of persons involved in legal proceedings. Such a judgment it was pointed out, if aception as final, would obviate long drawn out trial and the giving of what were termed "partisans' saintly decisions by opposing alumnets employed by opposing counsel. 17. See that every Negro signs the Petition to the President and Congress asking for a nation in Africa for the race. 18. You must be completely financial to get consideration. 19. Try to make one new member every week. Interest in and discussion of the Chicago murder case was stimulated among the delegates by the reading of a paper entitled "Some Emotional Problems Seen in the Superior Child," presented by Dr. Marian E. Kenworthy, medical director of the Bureau of Children's Guidance of New York city and a well-known psychiatrist. This paper was written some time before Robert Franke was slain, but the instances of youthful precocity it recorded, in the opinion of the delegates, paralleled those presented by Leopold and Loeb 22. Vote as the Association will direct for the good of our cause and the nation. 23. Don't sell your vote. 24. Support the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company, our new shipping concern. 25. Attend your meetings regularly. 26. Don't go to Africa without first getting the advice of the Parent Body. Don't come to New York until advised. Sunrise 27. Save all the money you can to go to Africa in September, October, November and December, 1924, and all through 1925. Friends, Look This Over and Tell Your Neighbors!

S. A. OAKLAND, CALIFORNIA Distinguished Jewish Speaker Encourages Local Division The announcement of the dedication of two infants to the service of the Universal Negro Improvement Association was the occasion for a large attendance at Carpenter's Hall, Sunday afternoon. April 18. Rev. C. Williams, our first vice-president, officiated and performed the ceremony with the assistance of two ranking officers of the legion. As the two babies, Esther Elizabeth Johnson and Jula Teresa Abernathy, were covered with the national colors of the African commonwealth, there was a great outburst of applause that shook the entire building. The parents were instructed to carefully and faithfully attend the racial education of the children as they grew up into maturity. Just to prove the patriotic interest in an event of this nature, Mr. George Phillips, one of our most faithful members, presented the fortunate participants with $5.00; to which the audience added an additional $5.00, making a total of $10.00 to be divided equally between the little ones. Mme. Elizabeth Ford, who recently made a tour of the southern portion of the State, where she delivered a number of her soul-stirring readings and talks, told us of the rapidly growing anti-Negro sentiment in that section. In some of the cities she found cards distributed with this appeal "Join our Industrial Association and Keep the White spots WHITE!" After reflecting on the effect of this propaganda, the learned lady was inspired to suggest to the Negroes of these sections, "Join the Universal Negro Improvement Association and help us keep the BLACK SPOTS BLACK!" Sunday afternoon, May 25, the Oakland division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association were permitted to hear one of the best addresses of the year, delivered by a friend and sympathizer of the Negro, in the person of Hon. John Gelder, a prominent Jewish lecturer and scholar of social economy.

IMPORTANT NOTICE TO ALL DIVISIONS and CHAPTERS OF THE UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPLEMENT ASSOCIATION, ESPECIALLY THE NEGRO LOCATED IN THE REPUBLIC OF PANAMA: "This is to officially inform you that the Parent Body of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League has revoked the charter of the Colon Division No.125, and the Association has revoked A. Brooks, and his associates, notably C. A. Reid, John Pilgrim, and Maude Betry, to cease operating in the name of the Association, because they violate the public not to have anything to do with these people if they approach you posing as representatives of the U.

Zionist movement of the Jews to the Garvey movement for the Negroes. The subject was masterfully dealt with and revealed facts and information of vital interest to every thoughtful member of the race. A harrowing revelation of slavery abuses suffered by the Jews seemed to properly set the stage for the comparison of our miseries and hardships. A choice morales of information was released by the speaker when he told us of the keen insight of our leader, the Hon. Marcus Garvey, and the intention of the Jews to assist him and his people to put over the program when the time came for such assistance. He further outlined the many years of sacrifice and support lent by his people to set up the Jewish homeland, and the determination of his people to leave no stone unturned until the Jews had established a real nation respected and honored by all peoples. LET'S PUT IT OVER We were encouraged to continue as the Jews had done for over 600 years, for with present day advantages we can realize considerable success in 15 years. Many were the references made by the speaker to the relationship of the Jewish movement to the Garvey movement. One of the most significant beating "that we are just, like the Shames twins, one and the same thing; and if one is good both then are good." We were further told that every country should be governed by its own people. The rapid rise all over the world of the masses was particularly stressed and of especial interest to the speaker, he being a great organizer of the Labor Party. We were acquainted with the coming convention of the Labor parties and the assurance of our activities locally being brought to their attention for discussion and soher consideration. We hope to have Mr. Gelder with us again soon, as he is a keen student of history, sociology and political economy, as well as an interesting and forceful speaker. ARTHUR S. GRAY. Reporter. NUEVITAS, CAM., CUBA A great crowd gathered at our Liberty Hall for the Easter service. The president, Mr. S. M. Stephenson, acted as chaplain and took for his subject, He is Risen" Mr. J. M.

Aather; recitation by Miss Cook. At the end of the service the lady president, Mrs. M. James, called on the ladies to bring in their cards for inspection in order that the prizes might be awarded. Mrs. M. James and Mrs. W. Roger, were the winners. On Tuesday, the 22nd, the ladies of the division held a meeting for the purpose of raising funds to purchase a flag for the association. This division is glad to report that through the visiting of the lady president to the Mimas district a branch is now being formed there. We are confident that the newly organized local will prove another stone, strong and worthy, in the foundation of our motherland. ROSEMONT, W. VA.

The unit is under the guidance of Mrs. Willie Burney, matron, Mrs. Minnett and Mrs. Della Kelly, secretary. BASSETERRE. ST. KITTS We are pleased, to mention the activity of Mr. W. J. E. Butler, the organizer of the above mentioned division. Thi gentleman, we understand, is a native of our slater island, Nevis and was deported from Macoris, Santa Domingo, through the treacherous act of Rev. Bler, British vice-consul, and his clerical colleagues, residing in said province. We consider Mr. Butler a martyr for the cause Afric; for, through his active services to the U. N. I. A. and several individual immigrants who came to Macoris during his time there, he was arrested without a charge and imprisoned for eighty days. Mr. Butler arrived here at a time when we were in need of a man who was conversant with the working of the U. N. I. A. The membership of this division had fallen back, and this ardent worker has been laboring disdulously from the time he came here to have this division reinstated. He got the charter, report blanks, certificates, buttons and constitutions from the former president, Mr. J. M. Sebastian, who expressed his pleasure to see such a one has come to assist him with this noble cause. Mr. Butler requested the directors of the Universal Benevolent Association, through Mr. Sebastian, president, and Mr. J. A. Nathan, secretary, to loan him their hall in which to hold meetings. This was most willingly granted: After a few months were spent in a house to house campaign in behalf of the U. N. L. A., Mr. Butler formed a committee to assist him in convincing for new members and further encourage the old members to be relinquished. The committee consists of the following; Messrs. Charles F. Taylor, Warrington Jacobs, Charles Thompson, Nathan Hendrickson, W. J. E. Butler, Stanley Clarke, Cyril H. Manning and Mrs. Rhoda Richards. It was thought advisable by Messrs. Cyril Manning, Stanley Clarke and W. J. E. Butler to establish a night school in connection with the U. N. L. A. This was accordingly put in operation. We started two months ago with 16 pupils, and up to the present date we have over 100. At the committee meeting the following individuals were elected as president: officers, Mr. W. J. E. Butler, president; Mr. Warrington Jacobs, treasurer; Cyril Manning, secretary, and Mrs. Rhoda Richards, late president. A meeting which was held on Sunday, May 15 was conducted as follows. Mr. Butler, chairman. The meeting opened thus: The opening ode was sung, followed by the prayer, then the sizing of the National Anthem. Our president read Mr. Garvey's weekly message, which was received by a vote of thanks from the audience. Mr. Butler made a few comments on the message. He remarked that $100,000 to the U. N. I. A. at this time meant much. He asked the audience to remember Sir Isaiah Morter as he had left footprint on the sands of time. A condition from the choir was next delivered, I.e. "Shine on Eternal Light." Mr. Arthur Longs next spoke. He said that he was very much pleased with the audience, and said that every member should do as Sir Isaiah Morter by helping from his pocketbook, as that is what the association greatly needs. Another number was given, I.e. "Daniel Band." Mr. John Wyllott took the stance and asked every one to promulgate the U. N. I. A. on every occasion. Mr. Lewis, from Trinidad, spoke next. He said that the request of Sir Isaiah Morter is as much as a dollar paid from 100,000 members for the cause of African redemption. On the whole, his speech was very interesting and rapidly received. A trio was given by Misses Bennett, Clarke and Stephens, which was greatly received. Mr. Clarke, who spoke next, said he was proud to speak to a Negro audience and also to be called a Negro. He remarked that the work that Negroes have done others can do. Mr. Hendrickson gave a brief speech. This interesting meeting was brought to a close at 7 p.m. CYRIL MANNING.

BUFFALO, NEW YORK Sunday, June 1, is a day long to be remembered by the local division. It was the day on which the division took a new step in the history of the U. N. L. A. in Buffalo. On that day we entered oak, gray home at Bristol and Jefferson streets, where we are more comfortably located than we were at the last place. Therefore we feel proud that in spite of the many obstacles we have had to encounter we are still holding high the banner of the Universal Negro Improvement Association in the "Queen City." The Sunday, being the first Sunday of the month, was juvenile's day, and right well did the little ones bear themselves on the occasion. The other event of the day was the installation of our new officers, who had been elected on the previous Tuesday. The meeting was opened in the usual way, by the chaplain, Rev. Y. B. Burton. There was a very large guidance, composed of friends of the district as well as the members. We were much elated over being able to retain our beloved president, Dr. Theo M. Kakaza, who delivered an inspiring address, which was received with tremendous applause. He was presented with two very large bouquets by the juveniles and the Motor Corps. All the officers who were most the delivered inspiring and enthusiastic addresses and were full of hope of the success for the local during the coming year. We were also pleased to have our efficient and excellent servant Mr. S. V. Welb returned to his post which he has so ably filled during the last two years. After the lifting of the officer he was a very liberal one, a man which none seemed to want to come to a close, was at last summoned by the chaplain officer on the basis after the slinging of the Lutheran anthem. The members of other districtmen happen to journey into one of the city are cordially invited to visit our new home, where there will always be some one to welcome them. We find us at Liberty Hall, Park and Jefferson streets. AKRON, OHIO Just a few words to let you know that the Aston University is making rapid progress.

A very interesting paper was read by Ophelia Colbert; Mrs. V. L. Colbert delivered an address; a selection was sung by the choir during the collection of the offering. Rev. Murd.

Our division was most cordially received by the distinguished pastor, Rev. P. Golden, who assisted in no small degree in making the meeting a successful one. Though many obstacles have been placed in our way the members are determined to light on for the principles of the U. N. L. A. The meeting was opened in the usual way, followed by prayer by the chaplain, Mr. R. A. Parker, our able president, acted as master of ceremonies.

He delighted the audience with a wonderful lecture on the customs of his native land. He also poke of the great work that the Hon Marina Garvey war doing, and that every Negro should link, up with the L. N. L. and its great program. The tribute of the day was the unveiling of the chapel, followed by a word of prayer by the pastor, who asked God blessing upon the High Myron Garvey and his universal program. KINGSTON, JAMAICA Anniversary Celebration among the confidence of the people. He forbids was then called to read the report which showed the record of the great work accomplished His. Worship the Master was called upon and introduced to the audience. He said in part that he had watched the progress of the association in Jamaica and was finally convinced that the U. N. E. A. was a great factor among the people. The disposition that the organization had in Jamaica was such as would have broken up well established governments and still it had survived. He was an admirer of the plan way the members criticized the failure of certain public officials, while personally treating them with the highest respect. He spoke on the usefulness of the Black Cross nurses and other units of the organization and also on the splendid achievements of the division mentioned in the report. He concluded by wishing the organization all prosperity for the future. Mr. H. A. Stephenson next spoke and said he was very pleased to be present. He was a strong admirer of Garveyism and never tried to extoll the principles of race pride among the children of the school. He reviewed the work of the division and expressed the wish that before, long CAPE TOWN, SOUTH AFRICA A meeting was held in the Friendly Society Hall, Church street, Woodstock, S. A., under the auspices of the above division. The following officers were on the platform, representing the various divisions: "Presidents, fellow, executives of theers, members and friends, ladies and gentlemen. It gives me great pleasure to see so many of you here today. Some of you may have come here for curiosity's sake, to witness how the unvelling is performed, or conducted, others again within a real, loving motive. To all I will say that the ceremony is a plain and simple one with nothing extraordinary attached to it. What we look forward to is, that those of you who are not active members of the association yet will become so before the closing of this meeting." He also tendered an apology for the president and members of the newly formed division of West London. The next speaker was the president of the Goodwood division, Mr. H. S. Davies, who said: "Presidents officers, members and friends" here assembled. We are here to congratulate the president, others and members of the Woodstock, in Union in the unveiling of their charter, which is to be protected as the British Empire's flag is protected, even as you that we have come here to impress upon every active member the principles that he or she may realize that the speedy program of the organization depends only upon those more and financial support. This day, he said, "was a day of rebusiness, not only for the athletes and members of this division, but for the non-European peoples in general. Are we going to remain unmoved while the Han Maone Gawze lends up the sense of主任 him to us, and we are one day. There is no other date here to be the other. Above all nothing, whatever is to be done without money. Also, any non-U. The data are different from the previous report. The data may be being used to test the performance and safety of the data. This is not a test of the data from the period of the report. The report will be used to test the performance of the report. The report will be used to test the performance of the report. The report will be used to test the performance of the report. I should never be attired. Then come the morning of the hour when it shall play a beating the heart beating the region of the U. N. L. A. and the matter and the future of the Kingdom. Pope John Paul II. Father Peter. They thanked the sisters and members for their prosecutions. Cheers were given for the Hon. Marcus Garvey, the Mayors, and the Hon. S. M. Jones and the meeting brought to a close with the singing of "God Save the King", and the U. N. L. A. anthem. On Tuesday night the 224 inc. Liberty Hall, Kingston, became the Mercy of a large number of people who came from near and far to attend the "May Fale" arranged by Mr. and Mrs. A. Atkinson, members of the division. The function consisted of ribbons and hoop drills, a concert, fancy stalls, fishing wells and dancing, which was under the personal direction of Mr. and Mrs. Atkinson. The ribbon and hoop drills were excellent and reflect great credit on the work of Mrs. Atkinson. Our brass band was in attendance directed by Bjoldmaster Thomas. The L. N. L. A. is spreading so fast that we were not surprised to see people far away in the country parts attending the "May Fale." Liberty Hall is fast becoming the most popular place for Negroes in Kingston. they now hold. We are not going to redeem Africa by sitting down with our hands folded. We shall redeem Africa only by unity, diligent research, and a resolve to build our own schools, colleges, universities, shops and building our own ships. Not until we are capable of doing these things can we expect to be masters of our own. How can we expect to progress? It is no easy task. We must support the U. N. I. A. morally and financially. (Applause). This is not the time for us to linger, but to be awaken, then Ethiopia shall be redeemed. God has said; 'Be fruitful and multiply, and subdue the earth.' "But," he said, "the other man comes from the other side of the earth and exploits you here, and you remain unmoved." The chairman of the occasion, Mr. J. January, first vice-president of the division, thanked Mr. Jackson for his impressive and remarkable address. Next was a solo by Miss D. Gorgle, entitled "Calling Today," followed by a short address by Mr. J. G. Gumbe, president-general of the Industrial and Commercial Workers' Union of Africa, who regretted that, being indisposed, he was unable to do justice to the occasion. He felt very much concerned about the unveiling of the charter, and wished to heartily congratulate the presidents and officers on the most important occasion of the opening of their charter. But the true reason and object of the Woodstock division is to claim your moral and financial support for the U. N. I. A. Mr. January again thanked Mr. Gumbe for his eloquent speech, in which he said that the U. N. I. A. has opened his eyes and he was proud to be a member. "Above all," he said, "I am pleased to say that today we have a flag of our own, the Red, Black and Green. May God bless and guide the Hon. Marcus Garvey." Next was a solo by Mr. Weiner, entitled, the "T. N. I. A." song. A short, impressive address by Mr. P. Williams, based on the essential principle of the parable of the sower, then followed. Then came the unveiling of the charter by the youngest member of the division, Miss P. J. J. Johnson, daughter of the president, supported by Miss L. Scott, who spoke as follows: "I have the honor of being selected to unveil the charter and as our first leader, Booker T. Washington, withdrew the wall of darkness from our ancestor and showed them the way to light, so will this well be torn suspender, exposing to the public that we have now come forward and determined to help to work for the redemption of Africa, our motherland, according to the ideals of our president-general, the Hon. Marcus Garvey. The charter confirms that we have now become one, and enlisted under the banner of the Red, Black and Green." (Charter was then unpublished, after which the U. N. I. A. mutham was sung.) The president then proceeded to read the words on the charter, and the names of the offences written therein as follows: Mr. Blent, M. E. G. Johnson; first president, J. January; second president, Mr. P. Lewis; secretary, A. J. Mapplethus; assistant secretary, D. E. Oppenman; chaplain, J. Oppenman; treasurer C. C. Johnson. Jesus was the hymn "I Was a Wandering Sheep" by any, after which the subject of the day, "To Jesus Seed His Own Body" Mr. Johnson and "These words form part of St. Paul's message to the church of Godwin in that memorable writing of exposition when St. Paul preached to the Gloria at Athens on the occasion of the dead. They preached at him and said that that which he sent did not time, but when he received about the unknown God to write that he sent all the rest, the last to him with patience even with afterthought. The second him with the first when he touched on the good principles of all nations of men. Below with whom we preach the doctrine of the L. N. I. A. we are mocked, condemned and condemned, treated with contempt and the impossible are treated with attention as paid and the impossible are exasperated. The Witnesses were in accordance with St. Paul when he asserted that the subject of the Gloria is about the importance of men in the dark afterthought when he fulfilled them, so is our own which has lost consciousness of God in the white man's civilization in a form of Christianity which teaches to be superior to the human race, we are made of one blood. How can we rise from our present condition and better ourselves? We must first be to be true, sincere and have refine to do for ourselves, not as the Athenaeans, who mocked and burst in open ridicule of a doctrine which carried to their minds grievance on the face of it, when some soul. We have had enough of this sort of stuff, and will hear you some other day for what you say now is not dissatisfying of consideration by serious and sensible men. These are the very remarks that are being passed today by many members of our race concerning the U. N. L. A. doctrine. If St. Paul had but spoken of the immortality of the soul, its everlasting purified state, and its exaltation to the presence of God, they would have listened with satisfaction, why? Because they believed in the life of the soul after death, and so, if the doctrine of the U. N. L. A. had been teaching that the salvation of the race, lies in the power of some one else besides, ourselves, then the scornery and scoffers of our race would have paid more attention." The meeting was brought to a close with the singing of the anthem and everyone left, feeling that another cornerstone had been laid in Africa for the redemption of the motherland.

BEST MINDS OF THE RACE TO BE PRESENT The above program will be exhaustively discussed at our forthcoming convention, and it is natural to expect that the best minds of our race will be sent as representatives to take part in these discussions. All branches and chapters of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and all other organizations, societies and churches are invited to attend the convention and to take part in its general discussions. Delegates, as usual, will be coming from Africa, Europe, Asia, the West Indies, South and Central America, Canada and the forty-eight States of the American Union. This will be a big time for the Negro race. During the night sessions of the convention (the convention will be night and day for the thirty-one days of the month of August) severed of the prominent white leaders of America will speak to the delegates. We are expecting the presence of several Senators, Congressmen and leaders in American public life and education. NEGRO POLITICAL UNION Among the important items to be discussed, as outlined by the above program, will be the formation of the Negro Political Union. This union will consolidate the political forces of the Negro through which the race will express its political opinion in America, in the islands of the seas and in all communities where the Negro forms a part. The Political Union shall represent the political hopes and aspirations of the fifteen million Negroes of the United States of America on American questions, domestic to America, and shall represent the interests of the millions of Negroes of the West Indies in their different and respective islands affecting domestic political questions, and so also in the scattered communities of Africa. The union shall have a sympathetic relationship politically, with Negroes all over the world, but each country or community will have its own domestic program for the betterment of the race, in that country or community. But the strength of the union shall be given to any community or country to politically assist it in putting over its political program. As, for instance, if the Negroes of America were politically agitating or working for the passage of any special measure for the benefit of the race, the entire strength of the union would be placed at the disposal of the American section. If the Negroes of Trinidad desired to carry out any political measure for the benefit of that community, the union would use its strength in assisting them, and so with any community where the Negroes live throughout the world. No longer, therefore, will individual politicians represent the interests of the Negroes, but the Negroes unitedly will be represented by the Negro Political Union. Let us all, therefore, work for the successful consummation of the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, so that we may be able to glory in a brighter day industrially, commercially, socially, religiously and politically. LONG LIVE AMERICA !!! At the Indianapolis Conference, the Zionites denounced the action of Congress for excluding the Japanese and urged immediate passage of the antilynching bill and the Coolidge administration was blamed for lack of interest in the race and enforcement of the war amendments. At Louisville the Bethelites went further; they denounced in the name of the Board of Bishop the shortcomings of the Republican party and advised the race to act independently and for its best interests in all of the States, and promised at once to begin to practice what they preach. Mr. Charles E. Mitchell of West Virginia and Mr. W. H. C. Brown of Virginia, members of the Federal Virgin Islands Commission, were on hand and influential enough to get an endorsement of the Coolidge Administration by the law delegates. 15.00 The Afro-American people have been shaken in the old political faith by the outspoken opinions of both the Bethel and Zion branches of the African Methodist Episcopal Churches. In General Conference, respectively, at Louisville and Indianapolis. They are the two largest and most influential organizations that we have in the Methodist group. They have been among the most loyal and devoted Republican partisans in the Nation. They could always be depended upon to hold fast the Republican shibbobeth when others shuffled and slid. In fact, they have been so pertinaciously partisan as to produce a scandalous situation in more than one Presidential contest. Our advanced political thinkers have always been regarded with suspicion by our bishops and ministers. The Journal and Guide believes, in the Republican party and in Republican policies, but it is bound to say that the Bishops of both the great Methodist bodies have interpreted and expressed courageously the feelings of the masses of the race towards the Republican party of today and its shortcomings. If the party leaders do not amend their ways they will suffer for it in the November elections, as the race is in no mood to be further juggled. 25.00 But our bishops and ministers have been a new light. Contempt and bad treatment by the leaders of the Republican party have made them to understand that there has got to be a change of policy on the part of those leaders if they wish the good will and support of our thoughtful members in the future. That is as it should be. Those who help win party victories are entitled to enjoy the benefits in common with other partisans of such victories. But our partisan allegiance has been a one-sided arrangement ever since the downfall of the Reconstruction governments of the South, some fifty years THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JUNE 14, 1994 Reformas constitucionales La república dominicana ha aprobado las reformas constitucionales que le fueron presentadas y la amblea constituyente a cuya consideración se yan a someter estas enmiendas para su consideración ha sido convocada para esta semana, según el mensaje recibido en el departamento de estado del ministro de los Estados Unidos en Santo Domingo. Esta determinación es en conformidad con el plan de evacuación convenido hace cosa de dos años entre el gobierno de los Estados Unidos y los representantes del pueblo dominicano y constituye un paso adelante hacia la retirada final de las tropas norteamericanas de ocupación en esa república y la cual-se cuenta ahora que tendrá lugar dentro de pocos meses. La mas importante de todas nuestras reuniones internacionales en la historia de la raza—Preparación del gran programa de la próxima convención—Elemontos de la raza procedentes de los cuatro puntos del globo—Unión política de la raza para la protección de sus derechos Una vez mas nuestra imaginación está seriamente preocupada en la celebración de nuestra cuarta convencino internacional de los pueblos negros del universo, en la cual se han de reunir hombres y mujeres, representantes de la raza, procedentes de los cuatro puntos del globo, para discutir y poner en práctica el programa que tienda al mejoramiento de nuestros intereses. La convención internacional de nuestro pueblo es nuestro parlamento, es nuestro congreso; en ella tenemos la oportunidad para el mejor entendimiento de nuestro elemento, posibilitandonos la preparación de un curso, bajo cuya base sólida podamos cimentar nuestro futuro. Una vez aprobadas por la asamblea constituyente Jás reformas legislativas y cumiendas a la constitución convenidas, se celebrarán elecciones de conformidad con la nueva constitución para la designación de los miembros del poder ejecutivo nacional. Cuando el presidente constitucional surgido de las ultimas elecciones entre en ejercicio del cargo, aprobará la convenión celebrada entre los Estados Unidos y la República Dominicana y entonces terminará el periodo del presidente provisional señor Vicini Burgos. Immediatamente después que se apruebe dicha convención, las tropas de los Estados Unidos desocumarán esa república. Nuestras convenciones del pasado han hecho historia en sus deliberaciones, de las cuales hemos formulado un programa que actualmente cambia el aspecto general del problema de la raza. De estas convenciones ha dimanado la constitución de una institución universal que es hoy dia una fuerza reconocida, en todo cuanto concierne a la modelación de nuestro destino. Una y otra vez nos hemos visto sometidos a grandes pruebas y hemos sido la victima de mayores arbitrariedades; pero todos estos contratiempos serán finalmente las gradas que hemos de escalar hacia la realización de nuestras aspiraciones, como parte del gran problema de reforma. Otro mensaje recibido en el departamento de estado del consul general Hosmer en Santo Domingo, declara que el presidente provisional, señor Juan Bantista Vicini Burgos, ha firmado un contrato por treinta años con la All America Cables para desembarkar carles en territorio dominicano y establecer un servicio internacional de noticias con ese país. El consul general Hosmer anude en su despacho que se cuenta con que la compañía completará su instalación rápidamente y podrá inaugurar su servicio con los Estados Unidos dentro de poco. Abrigamos la esperanza de un futuro mas brillante y por ello nos preparamos de nuevo para nuestra cuarta convención internacional, de la cual han de resultar indudablemente grandes cambios satisfactorios que afectarán directamente los intereses generales de los cuatrocientos millones de nuestro pueblo. En este año hemos de impresionar al mundo con grandes esperanzas y mayores deseos en la práctica de la justicia y la distribución por igual. de todo aquello que hace al hombre disfrutar de la paz y de la felicidad. Todas las naciones, todos los grupos de la humanidad se esfuerzan por promulgar una base de la cual dimane un mejor entendimiento humano y la paz a que el mundo anhela. Presentará su renuncia El gobernador de las Filipinas proyecto regresar a este país antes de la prisión sección del congreso y probablemente presentará su remunión el presidente. Se tiene entendido que la intención del gobernador Wood eta no permanecer en las Filipinas después de que las reformas que el habia mangurado estuvieron en ejecución y cruse que el contidere que la llegado ese momento y que la administración de los asuntos filipinos puede contarse a otro. La humanidad está justificada con tal desco y por tanto los cuatrocientos millones, bajo la dirección de la Associación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra, desean impresionar el corazón del mundo con la realización de sus derechos y de sus necesidades como seres humanos, al igual que los demás. Esta organización simpatiza con el derecho a la vida de todos—blancos, rojos, amarillos, y naturalmente demanda el reconocimiento de tal derecho para con el negro. Toda nuestra ambición estriba en la práctica de la verdadera justicia para con la humanidad en general; con tal objeto nos hemos organizado, laboramos y estamos dispuestos a mayores sacrificios. Pero, porqué razón debe la humanidad perecer cuando intente retener sus derechos y su libertad en una época como la actual? El comité sobre territorios del senado, que habia provocado reunirse para considerar el proyecto de independencia filipina presentado por el senador Johnson, presidente del comité, aplazo su reunión. Después de la negativa del comité de la camara de representantes a ganar tiempo para considerar el proyecto Fairfield, como lo pidió esie, la limita esperanza de que el congreso tome alguna decisión sobre la cuestión filipina en estas sesiones, se concentra ahora en el senado, que puede actuar sobre el proyecto Johnson si el comité informa favorablemente. El grado de civilización a que la humanidad ha llegado en el presente siglo debe indicarle que todos y cada uno hemos sido creados con los mismos derechos y los mismos privilegios naturales; entonces, porqué no reconocerlos y respectarlos? Porqué no permitir que Africa sea libre como lo es Europa? Inglaterra y las demas naciones de Europa deben pacificamente devolver al negro todo cuanto a él le pertencece, y este pais y los demás países de America deben reconocerle y respectarle, por lo menos como un ser humano, hasta que él se vea instalado en su propio hogar. Eso es a todo cuanto aspiramos. En ninguna época los pueblos negros del universo han tenido el deseo de intervenir restringiendo el derecho de los demás; porqué no recompensarnos del mismo modo? A esta última interrogación hemos de responder: El respeto y la consideración a que somos acreedores nos serán manifestados, cuando así lo demandemos por medio de la fuerza unida de todo nuestro elemento. No se ha confirmado la noticia publicada, procedente de Manila, de que el conisiónado residente Gavaldón, intenta remunciar para hacerse elegir miembro de la camara de representantes filipina, y de que Manuel Rojas, actualmente presidente de esa camara, lo sucedera en el cargo, cuando la legislatura filipina se reunía en julio próximo. La independencia de Filipinas El primer dia del mes de agosto del presente año, todas las vias de comunicación llegarán a su término en el Liberty Hall de esta ciudad, en cuyo día y en cuyo local se celebrará la apertura, de la cuarta convención internacional de los pueblos negros del universo. Alli será sometido a discusión el programa religioso, político, social, industrial, comercial y educativo de nuestra raza, y es de esperarse que elementos aptos sean enviados como representantes para tomar parte en la sanción de estos puntos tan transcendentales. Todas las divisiones y capítulos de esta organización, así como también todas las sociedades y congregaciones de la raza; quedan por consiguiente invitadas a tomar parte en los asuntos de interes general. Aum está entamente en el misterio el verdadero criterio que, sin ceramente, adopte la mision filipina de independencia al fin de los vajens de su gestión en Washington. En verdad, si no para los delegados del archipiélago de Magallanes para el pueblo filipino la sinicación entera debe ser motivo de criente desorientación. Parecería logique que se discutiera el problema estrictamente sobre la base de la conveniencia, para el pueblo filipino, de concederle ahora la independencia solicitada. Como en años anteriores, vendrán delegados de Africa, Europa, Asia, las Antillas, sud y centro America, Cánada y los cuarenta y ocho estados de la Unión America. Durante las sesiones nocturnas de la convención, varios promíentes de otras razas dirijirán la palabra a los delegados, entre los cuales figurarán representantes al congreso, políticos y educadores. Un punto de vital interés será sometido a la consideración de la convención y este es la formación de la unión política de la raza. Esta unión política se relacionará con todos los pueblos, negros, pero cada grupo tendrá su propio programa de acuerdo con las circunstancias de la comunidad o país en que resida. De ese modo el status político del negro no será manipulado por ambiciosos, sino por la sabia dirección de su propio esfuerzo unido. Tal es el punto en que colocó la estación una promesa oficial del presidente de los Estados Unidos y del congresso de los Estados Unidos-hace varios años. Porque Mr. Woodrow Wilson y las camaras que aprobaron su gestión, no eran un particular americano y una colectividades privadas americanas: sino el jefe del estado y el poder legislativo nacional, offreciendo solenmente a Filipinas su libertad-tan pronto se hallara capacitada para ella. Ahora, en cambio, los filipinos ven ya claramente que no se trata tanto de su aptitud para el gobierno propio. Sino de ai es ié, o no es conveniente para los Estados Unidos deshacerse de un terriorio valioso y lleno de promesas de riquezas y de posibilidades estrategicas para futuras maniobras en el Pacífico. Como se ve, el problema ha variado resueltamente de base. Y esto es lo que ha de desorientar totalmente al pueblo filipino. O Mr. Wilson, el presidente Wilson, usurpó una autoridad que no tenia al promoter al pueblo filipino lo que le promtei, o procedio enterramente dentro de sus facultades. Si lo primero, habria sido ya denunciada su gestión; si lo segundo, los Estados Unidos estan comprometidos definitivamente por tal oferta. Tal es, por lo menos, al puntuológico de vista, desde luego, el que ha tomado el pueblo y los políticos de Filipinas. Asi, las desviaciones actuales que se dan a la cuestión, son dolorosas. Habria que decir claramente en Washington el plan americano. Porque se haría menos molesto, y menos peligroso también para la paz moral y material de Filipinas, declarar de una vez que hay que volver a empezar del todo la lucha por la independencia. Y no llevarla, como hacen ahora los leaders independistas de Manila, sobre una base enteramente falsa. Si el pueblo americano no está comprometido por la promesa de presidente Wilson, los tiliquinos de ben tomar otra vía de argumentación totalmente distinta. De no existir esa base, todo lo que ahora se demuestra en el sentido de prosperidad, cultura, riqueza y desarrollo de archíclago, trabaja contra la independencia: No va a pedirse a los imperialistas americanos que reunien a un territorio lleno de perspectivas de buro.—I. a Prensa, N.

Largo y tradicional fornal preparación, habilidad e illiciose colore entre sangrantes guerreros y comunes trastornos, utile donoso tumbias y penosa contrafelada durante la que llamamos la Media, prolongado y intensivo peréntesis de dizos siglos entre la civilización romana y la moderna. Los albores del renacimiento y el espiritu de erudición encontraron la forma de el castellano, pero no fuido; porque las lengues no pueden considerarse tijadas hasta que, a fuerer de organismos vivientes han adquirido toda su talla, tomando un carácter definitivo, y revelado su idiosyncrasia, que es decir, su temperamento propio, individual, idiomático. Las lengues viven sus edades y hasta sus minoridades y la fijación de su existencia en la historia no puede declararse hasta que han florecido y dado frutos razonados. En rigor, formado se halló el latin cuando en este idioma se escribieron las leyes de las Doce Tablas, y más formado todavía estaba cuando Plauto y Terencio escribian sus comedias; pero el latin noble, el latin fijado,呵 habia de tardaz siglos, durante los cuales nada se vió por ciento comparable a la elocuente prosa de Tito Livio, m a los armoniosos versos de Virgilio. Asi también en el castellano: evidentemente iniciada se hallaba su formación en tiempo de San Isidoro formado en rigor estaba en 1155, cuando la confirmación de la cartaprueba de Avilés; muchísimo más formado en el poema del Cid, en las admirables Partidas y otros monumentos escritos en la época de Alfonso el Sabio peto hay que avanzar hasta los tiempos de Juan de Mena y sus sucesores, despedirse del siglo XV, y entrar en un buen trecho en el XVI, para ver a nuestro idioma como reconstituido, regenerado, y desplegar en seguida todo el vigor, la gallardia y brios que autorizan su fijación. Entonces fue cuando los romanceros cilpsaron a los cancioneros, la modesta crónica y la candida leyenda se remontaron a la majestad de la historia, la novela reemplazó a los libros de caballeros los refrances se levantaron a filosofía, y la tosqued de las antigias farsas y de los juegos de escarnio, como llaman las partidas a las representaciones escénicas del siglo XII, empezó a verse substituida por cierta cultura y decencia de un nuevo teatro. Bien se (porque el mismo nos lo dice en su "Arte nuevo de hacer comedias"), bien se que Lope de Vega encerraba los preceptos con seis laves, al componerlas; mas lo que por fortuna no pudo encerrar, fue la grandiosidad de los asuntos, el interes de las situaciones, la nobleza de los conácteres y el arte imitable del diálogo, que formaban el distintivo del teatro espalid. Entonces tuimos una literatura propia y exclusivamente nacional por el humilid de dialecto de los tiempos antiliticos, el desadilado romance de la Edad Media, era ya un idioma nacional, una lengua idínea para dar creaciones intelectuales de la nueva época. Entonces fueron posibles las obras inmortales de García laso y de Hurtado de Mendoza, de Fray Luis de León, de Fray Luis de Granada y de Santa Teresa, de Lope de Vega y Cervantes, de Fernando de Hertena y de Quevedo, otros cien autores escarecidos. LET'S PUT IT OVER eyos nombres esmalte muestr- historia literaria del sibilo NXI Entonces, en fin, pudo Alfonso de Palencia gildar un primer Descri- nario (1901), Antonio de Lelia- comenecer la primera Granssner (1922), y Juan de Vibles en pre- ciso habiendo de los longos 1550 en una solida, la lengua no puede transcurrir, unida.

F. A. D. E. H. ... La Mujer en la America latina La jóvenes, pálidas como animadas y linguidas camelas y lujosas lanzan miradas a través de las cantas enrejadas a fresco del dia tropical. En la esquina adyacente de la calle algínu joven enamuno, de esfuerza por expresar su 'aurillo dirigiendo pacientes miradas hacia atrás, o paseando arriba y abajo, como uha especie de guardian voluntario de su tesoro. Estiuviera más relacionado con ella, podria aproximarse o hasta apoyar una mano en las rejas, o tal vez tocar una mano aventura a través de ellas, pero si penetrar deberia hallarse ante un semicirculo compuesto por la familia entera. Los dos míngos-las muchachas y las mujeres mayores se agolan en la catedral, como aves negras en mantas obscuras, y a última hora de la tarde o en la noche cuando la banda toca en la plaza se pasean vuelta tras vuelt en un circulo, mientras los jóvenes, jugueteando y volteando sus bastones, se pasean en dirección opuesta en otro circulo. Cuando las muchachas se casan comienzan, como madres y compañeras de sus esposos, a vivir, pero para entonces se supone ciertamente que han sentado la cabeza, y en el sentido en que en muchos países se entiende la libertad, el matrimonio es una portalado sobre la cual pudiera haberse escrito: Vosotras que entrais aqui, abandonad para siempre el mundo. Algo muy semejante a esto acostumbraba a ser, y en los vecinos menos avanzados es todavia, la suerte de las mujeres hispanoamericanas. -Era un régimen que tenía sus encantos y su belleza; la esposa hispanoamericana era el tipo de la consagración a la maternidad; y no obstante ni por educación ni por experiencia estaba dotada para ser un buen ciudadano en la sociedad democrática hacia la cual su patria en teoria por lo menos esta tratando delegar. Pero esas mismas corrientes de que hemos hablado anteriormente, que empiezan a sacudir al placidas masas de los ponges, trabajadores, estin haciendo cambios similarmente interesantes en la situación y punto de vista de las mujeres hispanoamericanas. Las mujeres actualmente cuentan el voto en la relativamente firme popienda república centroamericana, Costa Rica, y en algunos estados de México. Pero en los países mayores de edad de la zona templa del sur del continente hispanoamericano, en Chile, la Argentina y el Uruguay, donde el movimiento femenino está empiezando a expresarse en formas parecidas en algo a las muestras. Comenzó en general con la reunión de las mujeres de las clases superiores bajo las auspicios de la iglesia, para labores de caridad, y se ha extendido perdiendo gradualmente su carácter religioso, por las clases medias biasta las mujeres empleadas en las fabricas, y compuesta ya tala clase de objetivos, desde la igualdad ante la ley hasta el commisso franco en algunos puntos, desde medidas contra la tata de Blancas hasta clubs de cultura física y de peculiaria. Contratiempos de los inmigrantes El comisionio de inmigración debe encontrar forma de admitir a ocho jentos más esperas e hijos de inmigrantes, exentos de cuota que cuan destinados a la deportación como reutilado de la detergencia por la Suprema Corte de la decision en los casos de Gottlieb y Marrarian. En la oidenanza provisional sobre inmigración, que expira el 30 de junio, no se hicieron prescripciones para esta clase de inmigrantes. Los maridos podrian ser admitidos en exceso de las cuotas, pero no las esposas y los hijos. En el caso del rabito Gottlieb cuya espera e hijos le siguieron desde Palestina, pero que llegaron después de que la cuota para esa pais estuviera agotada, el magistrado Mack dio un fallo permittióndeles entrar. Esta decision fue sostenida por la corte de apelaciones pero ha sido ahora derogada por el tribunal más elevado del país. La situación es por lo tanto inusitada, en cuanto que esas personas amenableas de la deportación fueron inducidas a hacer el viaje traslantico de buena fe, teniendo razones para creer que bajo la decision judicial mencionada serian admitidas: Sabian.indudablemente que corrian un riesgo, pego el hecho de que otros habian venido fue el principal esti-mulo, para que abandonaran sus casas. No era evidentemente la intención del congreso causar crueles sufrimientos a los miembros de las familias. La antigua legislación apuradamente reductada, era defectuosa en muchos aspectos y dejaba mucho que desecar. Pero cualesquiera duda acerca del verdadero propósito del congreso en el asunto debería rápidamente ser. eliminado teniendo en cuenta la nueva legislación que entra en vigencia en 1 de jilio, y que especialmente hace prescripciones contra la separación de las familias. El párrafo D, sección 4, del proyecto de ley de Johnson prescribe la admission en exceso de las cuotas de cualquier ministro religioso maestro y su esposa e hijos solteros de menos de 18 años de edad, si le acompañan 6 siguen. Esto evidentemente se aplica a casos como el Gottlieb, e indudablemente cubriría muchos otros casos de personas que están en espera en en cuarentena. Pareceria solo razonable que, si no puede hacerse nada mejor, se permitiera a esas personas por lo menos permanecer en el país, o en cuarentena o bajo fianza en cualquier otro lado, hasta que la nueva ley entre en efecto el I de julio, en cuya época podrian legalniente ser admitidas como inmigrantes fuera de cuota.

OUR WOMEN and WHAT THEY THINK-Edited by Mrs. Amy Jacques Garvey WILL THE ENTRANCE OF WOMAN IN POLITICS AFFECT HOME LIFE? MEN little realized the value of woman in the home until she decided to enter politics; then the cry went up, "Our homes will be broken up, our children will be neglected." The same cry came from rich and poor men alike, for no matter how many efficient servants a man employs in his home the economic and thrifty presence of a wife is needed. Women realized that if they remained at home and trained their children without having some knowledge of outside affairs, the children (especially the boys) would have a rude awakening on stepping out into the world. Despite opposition women are in politics and are influencing and making humane legislations that only the detailed and fine minds of the female sex can conceive. Such legislations uplift the homes, communities and nation; therefore the home has not been neglected but benefited. The only question is how much time should a woman spend in her home and how much should be devoted to politics. We unhesitatingly say that this is a matter for the individual, and women are rational and reasonable enough to give as much time to the home as the exigencies of the hour demand. Woman's inherent self-sacrifice and love will influence her decision in this direction. In order to give our readers a broader view of this important question, we have reproduced below the opinions of men and women in different walks of life: Politics Purified By Women's Entry This question is important. In the past politics has been looked upon as something tainted. This was due to the fact that the inner workings of politics were left to a certain type of men who had some selfish and ulterior motives behind their political activities. Descent men kept out of politics. I am inclined to believe that such a condition is being changed. Politics is now being looked upon as a method by which the machinery of government may function for the good of the community, city, state or nation. This is idealistic politics. The entrance of women into politics would bring it nearer to this idealistic state. Politics would be purified. Politics has much to do with the home. It enters in many ways. School conditions, rent laws, property and personal taxes, soldier honus, health laws, city and state politics affecting liquor, morality and crime, these are only a few of the many questions arising, the proper solution of which can be settled through politics. Women in politics could exert a great influence for good in many of these political questions affecting the home. It is not necessary for women to neglect their home duties when they enter politics. Political activity is merely supplementing their home interests. It makes the woman's viewpoint an integral part of the political arguments in the home. She is not only a talker, she is a voter, and an interesting partner to the man of the home. Anything that is new seems strange, but us the years go on, women in politics will prove their worth in increasing the prosperity and happiness of the home and the nation. I would advise the Negro women especially to enter politics. This question is important. In the past politics has been looked upon something tainted.

E. ELLIOTT RAWLINS. M. D. Women Legislate for Better Living Conditions The entry of women into politics certainly does affect the home life in many ways. Woman, by her entry into the political world, has gained a knowledge of the civic conditions surrounding her, by reason of which she is able to help formulate and carry out laws which make better living conditions in a community in which she lives. By reason of having better economic and better educational conditions; her children are raised in the midst of health surroundings, giving them high aspirations. A healthy, ambitious family makes a happy home. Under insatiable, poor economic conditions, a child does not grow into healthy manhood, the mentality is low, does not recount for higher things; hence the monster. Crime, thrives and reaches out with its tentacles, crushing the holding manhood and womanhood of the future generations. The interest displayed by women in politics is responsible for playground where children may physically develop into healthy men and women, better educational systems where the poor may receive the higher branches of education, better sanitary conditions by which men, women and children are protected from the ravages of disease and an adjustment of economic conditions. Woman, by the accomplishment of bringing about these conditions, is responsible for happy, healthy home condition. SAYDEE E. PARHAM.

The welfare entry of women into society will affect the home for the following reasons: Politics to prime study and whole hearted interest. The home must come the same. Each cannot have this at the same time. The force the home suffers must be maintained by a national requisite of a true woman. Children need the attention of mothers within hours out of every twenty-four hours. Poorly trained at home at hours of noisy women's time to be provided for the task. The home is not enough for the child. Therefore the home suffers through present or children not the love for adventure, the death of pride and desire to return to the end of present day science, social government will be created some women are much until this love we supervise the love for home and child are the race increase we be greatly deprived. The will be the city of women late parents, will affect the home for the following reasons: Get Policies to provide study and whole-hearted interest. The home must pace the same. Both cannot have the at the same time. The home to the home sufferer. Get Motherhood to a natural requisite of a true woman. Children need the attention of mother, eighteen hours out of every twenty-four. Poor requires at home at little hours of new women's time to be prepared for the task. The home is not enough for the child. Therefore the home suffers through present of children. The love for adventure, the abstinence of girls, and desire to the removal of present day science of social government will foster some women so much until this love will supervise the love for home and children. There are the rare increase will be greatly jeopardized. Home Should Be Considered Before Political Jobs I have been in politics for more than ten years, even before I was right enough to vote. I believe in women voting and taking a vital interest in the affairs of nation building. But when it comes to holding big political positions are the woman has children and a home to look after, even though she is offering a large salary. I will frankly admit, that she would be better off making spider did men and women out of her children. On the other hand, if the woman has unusual attributes and no home worries or if her husband is dead, and she has the children to raise, the mundanation she receives from a good political position would enable her to educate her children properly. I have been in politics for more than ten years, even before I was 16, enough to vote. I believe in women voting and taking a vital interest in the affairs of nation building. But when it comes to holding big political positions and the woman has children and a home to look after, even though she is offered a large salary I will frankly admit, that she would be better off making splendid men end women out of her children. On the other hand, if the woman has unusual attributes and no home worries or if her husband is dead, and she has the children to raise, the remunation she receives from a good political position would enable her to educate her children properly. If a woman keeps her charm and womanly qualities, she is a great asset to politics, but on the whole a woman should use most of her mind and time raising her home to the standard of efficiency. Now, do not misunderstand me. I don't mean that she should be sticking in the house and become a druggie and doormat. Her home should be so regulated that she can have time for clubs, children's parties, and, when the latter grow up, there should be time for lectures and she should be able to discuss the affairs of the nation with her husband; in short, he such a good pal to him that he would be glad to have her opinion on vital subjects. I concede the man is the stronger physically. But the affairs of school, community work and social uplift are left entirely in the hands of sympathetic women. MARION I. WALLACE Will-the entrance of women in politics affect the home? 1. Yes. It will tend to promote discussions of public questions around the family table, thereby enlarging the interest of the home and adding to its intelligence. 2. Women's interest in world movements and kindred relations will be of material assistance in aiding her to safeguard her home and community. 3. The argument that polling booths detract from the general standards of womanhood is either an indictment against the place and form of voting. Use schoolhouses. Bring school into politics, not politics into school. 4. By properly understanding the machinery of government, women will vote to protect her home—such issues—prohibition, pure food, sanitation, candidates. THEO. E. A. McCURDY, M. D. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JUNE 14, 1934 Modern Maid Providing Financially for Future, Whether Married or Single By FRANCES McDONALD In Philadelphia Inguirer Should a girl save for marriage—or should that glorious privilege be purely the perrogative of the man? Two very sensible and practical girls voice this problem and demand a thorough threshing out of the question for their own piece of mind and for the benefit of other girls. And so heartily do we indorse the views these girls express we shall give their letter the space it deserves. It is frankly modern, this letter from two girls who think, but is it not stimulating—and does it not bear vast promise for the morrow? A world in the hands of such girls as these cannot go very far astray. Marriage Without Capital a Failure "Please state for our benefit and that of other intelligent young women whether there is anything unsuitable, unfeminine or improper in our saving a definite sum each week as a fund for what we call marriage insurance? We call it that because most of the marriages we have seen fall were failures because two people went into partnership without capital on either side. No one starts a business that way. Why do they start a marriage? Now our folks take the stand that it is not our place to provide the capital—but the business of the men concerned. Why? We are two girls holding positions far above the average salaries of $35 and $10 a week. We intend to marry. We want to be able to give up our positions at least after a year of marriage. But how many men today can finance a marriage partnership after four years of college and four years of war? We are interested in two men. They have not asked us to be engaged to them simply because they are too worthwhile to tie us down to mickery. We respect them for it. We understand them. They are saving all they can, but they must put most of their earnings into their business. They have neither time nor thought for any other women. They have declared their love and all four of us together discuss our future to the disgust of our relatives. Their contention is that we are trying to urge the men into marriage by saving for marriage. Of course, we are saving for marriage, and we are doing only what every self-supporting girl should do—insuring the success of our marriage. Not Anxious to Wed "None of us is in any haste to marry. We will never be any happier than we are right now, and we know it. The men are wrapped up in two interests their business and their girls. We do not plan to marry for several years yet, but we do intend to go right on saving, and we maintain there is nothing unwomanly or shocking about it. Won't you publish as soon as possible your opinion? It will be eagerly awaited by two girls who try to be sane." A Non-productive Source of Expense And our opinion is that if more women went into marriage financially independent, and capable of financial independence there would be a noticeable improvement in the morale of the married. The woman who feels herself a non-productive source of expense loses morale completely at the first hint of financial stress. She becomes super sensitive to her position. And that is why so many divorces are brought about through money difficulties. There is no reason why a girl who believes in equal rights should not move her theories, and no reason on earth why only men should save for marriage. In a more enlightened day all women will provide financially for their future care at, whether married or single. And there are thousands of married women who will hear witness to the thousand occasions when a very little money all her own would mean all the difference between comfort and discomfort, security and strife to the woman who happens to become a mere wife.

To the Editor of the Women's Section: After reading the statement of Professor Mills of Chicago University to the effect that women are greater loafers than men, I could not resist the opportunity of correcting such an erroneous statement. The learned professor has evidently mis-used the word "loafer" in its application to women. Women have been industrious since creation, and, not being satisfied with their housekeepers' jobs and rearing children alone, they clamored for and demanded a place in the Legislative chambers. In the last world's war they fought with the men and tended the wounded in the trenches. They worked in ammunition plants and filled men's positions, so as to enable them to go to the battlefields. Are these and other acts the acts of loafers? Year by year women are demanding added responsibilities to their onerous duties. Is this the trait of a loafer? The average man works eight hours per day and is through, but the average housekeeper's job is never finished until she is in bed, and even then they hubby will want her to get up and pull up the window, turn off the light after he is through reading his evening papers, or baby may be teething and frieful and that poor woman's night vigil will start as soon as the day's work is done. The single woman puts in her eight hours per day and her evenings are spent in a similar manner to the "industrious" pleasure secker of the opposite sex. I have no desire to malign the professor's sex, but the fairest way to test the veracity of his statement is to count the number of leafers at any busy street corner, and I am sure the hea will far out-number the sheas. What say ye, gentlemen? IDA JACQUES New York City Living for Others To the Editor of the Women's section. We all know what we mean when we say true womanhood. Take the word true, which means faithful or loyal and then take the word womanhood, which means the collective qualities of woman. Women! When I say true womanhood that means for every woman to be faithful or loyal to herself and others. Every woman has different qualities, whether these qualities are good or bad, but, above all women, we should make them good. We should live so that our husbands and the men of our race will be proud of us and respect us at home and abroad. We should let our men know that we do have some true women of our race. We should live and walk in such way that we will be unspotted from the world. By living such a sweet life our men can't say anything that is unpleasant about us. If we ever want to be an intelligent and prosperous race of women, we must live this life, so that our men can be proud of us and go out into the world and conquer new fields. Women. If we are true it causes us to get along in our homes better and the world also. We should hold up for each other. I mean in the right way. We should study the higher ideals of life and not the low, devaluing things. Every woman has her mind full and her thoughts well supplied, and she hasn't time to think of those low, devaluing things which are not of any service to her if she is a true woman. If we all were true in every respect, what a wonderful race of women we would be! We should be careful of our associates, because if they are not true they will rain our good names. Oh! If we all were true it would mean so much for our children. Some women may say you can't live true, but that is a sad mistake. It is those women who don't want to live true. Women! It is time we should be thinking and make better women in this modern time than the women who didn't have the opportunity. We should live for others. Lord, help me live from day to day. In such a self forgetful way, That even when I kneel to pray. My prayer shall be for Others. Help me in all the work that I do. To ever be sincere and true. And know that all I do for you Must needs be done for-Others. Let "Self" be crucified and slain. And hurled deep; and all in vain. May efforts be to rise again. Unless to live for—Others. And when my work on earth done, And my new work in heaven's begun May I forget the crown I've won. While thinking still of Others. Others, Lord, yes, Others. Let this my motto be, Help his to live for Others. That I may live like Thee. LAURA THOMAS. Kannap City, Kansas.

EGYPTIAN CIVILIZATION A Carved Knife and a Professor A bit of chipped flint to which is fastened a handle of curiously carved ivory is said to be the most remarkable single historical object ever found in Egypt. It is a knife made in the late Stone Age, and the carvings on the handle seem to show that the civilization—at least the artistic civilization—of Egypt did not grow up there in the Nile Valley, but was brought in by a race of boarded, capped and short-haired men from the north. The carvings on the knife show such men clad in long coats, unlike anything worn in the Egyptian climate, fighting with lions of a type that used to be found in Asia Minor, men with closely cropped hair conquering men with longer locks, such as the Egyptians wore, and a bottle on the water between boats of the familiar Nile type and boats flatter of keel and higher of paw. Professor Flinders Petrie, the eminent Egyptologist, believes that this ivory-handed flint knife is itself sufficient proof that the race that established the historic civilization in Egypt came thither over the water from a land to the northward, though, since there was no advanced civilization in those early days outside Mesopotamia, and perhaps Crete, the chances are that they came from one or the other of those places—probably from Mesopotamia. Gold Bearing Rock Found in East Africa NAIMORI, East Africa, June 4.—Gold-bearing roofs have been discovered near the Lologoren Hills in the Masai reserve between Kavirondo Gulf, Lake Victoria and the Tanganyika boundary, and there is in progress a lively, "push" in the direction of the discovery. Development work has been carried on for some months. Suggestions to Housewives The gold has been found among the granite common to the surrounding country, and the reefs in this district are tree from the top covering of lava which exist over the greater part of the Kenya Highlands. There are about twelve reefs in all. O. that one might plead for a man with God, as a man pledid for his neighbor. Job 15, v. 21. Ray Hoffman Scientific Beauty.

Many a "Lothead" has gained a reputation for being "safe" because he didn't have brains enough to play anything else but "safe." To Illustrate, a man once acquired a local reputation for virtue among the thoughtless element because he was always telling how careful he was to protect his own body from alcoholic and other harm. Among the same people he established a reputation for wisdom because in the legislature chambers where he held his seat he confined his public utterances to two speeches—one, "There has been so much said and so well said that I can add nothing"; the other, "I quite agree with the gentleman on the other side of the house." Very broad, liberal and convincing this man! The Measurement of Virtue Put negative goodness on the scale that weighs virtue and you will thus the index finger on the dial has not left zero. The virtue that weighs has force passion, fire, resolution, and determination. Value is measured by one's eagerness to save not alone himself but others not to keep himself alone in the channel of the stream but to bring the driftwood of the edge into the current as well. Self-interest Is Not Progress The makers of progress are those who try to help others to progress. A microeconomic mind can say 'Me too' A weak mind can say 'I can't' It takes a great man to hold a great idea and to lift it up that all may see it. Progress is not affected by the deecheet driver in whose heart is found the passion, not for one man's preservation but for all men's; not for advantage, but for justice, who is not concerned about what the world may think of him but what he thinks about the world, who is eager to do for others rather than have others do for him. To keep lettuce fresh from one day to the other wet it thoroughly, and roll in paper, tucking the ends in firmly to exclude the air. A paper bag, the needled tightly with a string, will do. Celery may be kept crisp long time in the same way. Cabbages keep well dried in bags and hung up. A teaspoonful of lemon juice to a quart of water will make rice very white and keep the grains separated when boiled. When a pie dish or anything that is used in the oven gets discolored or burnt, a piece of enew paper, bath brick or even cinder will clean it. MADAME ANNIE W.

LET THE WORLD KNOW WHAT YOU ARE THINKING AND DOING WEEKLY TEXT ANNOUNCEMENT RULES IN PARLIAMENT Laborite Women Shock Other Members by Taking Off Their Hats At a dinner given to the women members of Parliament the speeches turned on parliamentary restrictions which are irksome to the women Lady Aster, who for a while was the only woman in Parliament, told of shocking members one day by walking through the corridors without her hat, and of being requested by an of ficial "not to do it again." She had always sat in the House of Commons with her hat on, like the men, but unwillingly. Some of the men, Labourite women defied traditions and took off their hats.

Pour le bonheur nous avons commi les témbres du Gethsman de la vie, monolit, persuadés que nous verrons l'apothéose de la de la die race; de sorte que nous pouvons dire avec le poet A l'heure actuelle les Conventions précédentes font partie de l'histoire contemporaine de la Race. Connie résultat des dites Conventions, nous avons pu formulé un programme mondial dont la force opère nécessairement et effectivement le changement inévitable dans le problème de la Race. Grâce à ces Conclaves nous avons organis une institution mondiale institution qui est une puissance dans le monde en ce qui concerne les destinées de la Race Négre. Nous avons été aux abois; nous avons vécu nos heures d'angoisses; les rapières de douleurs ont transperecées nos coeurs; mais, sommes toute, toutes ces contrariétés n'ont que de marchepieds dans notre progrès et celui de la Race. Chez nous, le cour fort convent a été multilie; nos meurtris-sures ont été vives et profonde; mais qu'importe! ces expériences sont le prix de toutes récurs religieux, raciales et sociales. Pour le bouleur de notre Race nous avons connu les rêvées du Gethsemani de la vie, nous sommes, monolithant, persuades que nous verrons l'apothéose de la réhabilitation de la race race; de toute que nous pouvons dire avec le poète. "Nous sommes sorti de la lutte Mentris, tout meurtris, mais vainqueurs." De cert. qui clats notte fort intérieur il n'estiste même pas regret pour coque nous avons soufiert, ni pour ceux qui se pour le bien-être de la Race. Il a fallu des martyres pour de l'Avocet de ce tout coeur nous nous sommes dounés pause. En vertu de ce coque nous avons accompli, nous entrevoyé a l'inverse claire d'un jour ménonnable. C'est pour cet tous convoyons la Quatrième Convention Internationale. De cette qu'elle nous fort interieur il n'existe même pas l'ombre d'un regret pour ce qu nous avons souffert, ni pour ceux qui se sont immolé pour le bien-être de la Race. Il a fallu des martyres pour la redemption de l'Afrique de ce tout cœur nous nous sommes pour et à cette cause. En vertu de ce que nous avons accompli, nous entrevoyons, en effet la lumière se clatte d'un jour mnémorable. C'est pour cette raison que nous convoyons la Quatrième Convention Internationale. De ce Conclave, savons en persuadés, sortiront les grandes réformes et les changements politiques, et économiques qui affectent profondement les 400,000,000 de notre Race dissiminés sur la surface du globe. Cette année, plus que jamais, nous prohibitons sur un monde spectateur l'empreinte de notre volome pour légalité des traces égalité politique, industrielle et commerciale. Ceci fait, nous affirmons, une fois encore, "en face de l'inverse, nos droits imprescriptibles, impériaux et sacres." Ceci implique une espérance et le désir d'avoir une fraternité de toutes les nations, et une distribution equitable de ces choses qui sont apres à contribuer au bouleau et au progres de l'homme, et à maintenir la paix et la traité parmi les honeurs de bonne volonté. Comme par atavisme, il semble que toutes les nations et tous les groupes de l'humanité cherchent à formuler un programme par lequel il sera établi un commun accord, un accomodement et une entente plus cordiale et plus sincère parmi les enites de la terre. Cette entente sera le trait d'union tant désiré par on la paix universelle entre le Noir et le Blanc, entre le Jaune et le Noir, entre le Blanc et le Jaune, sera un fait accompli. La Universal Negro Improvement Association appréciée à sa juste valeur les Droits de l'Homme—l'Homme blanc, l'Homme jaune, l'Homme rouge, et matelllement, comme Negres, nous appréciions particulièrement et à leur valeur intrinsque, nos propres Droits. Tout ce que nous demandons c'est de l'équité et la justice envers et contre tous. C'est dans ce but que nous sommes organisés; à cette fin nous travaillons; et si le cas l'exige, la montée de notre Race mourra pour la réalisation de cet idéal tant sacré à nos âmes—les Droits de l'Homme. Comment se fait-il que l'humanité, dans si siècle de lumière conme le notre, doit mourrit pour les principes de la liberté? Tous, nous devons savoir que la liberté est un Droit sacré et inaliennable, le patrimoine imprescriptible de chacun et de tous. De plain droit donc nous réclamons cette liberté. Pourquoi ne pas vouloir accorder aux peuples opprimés, sans lutte, ce Droit sacré sans lequel les traités des nations ne sont que des "chiffons de papier?" Pourquoi ne pas laisser à l'Afrique le droit d'entrer dans son héritage de liberté à l'instar Europe? De la même manière que l'Amerique est libre, pourquoi aussi ne pas accorder à l'Asje sa liberté? A quelle fin vouloir continue à opprimer sous le joug d'une volonté étrangère les peuples qui ne veulent plus être sous l'obédience des maitres spoliateurs qui, en outre les richeshes de nos pays, n'ont que faire de nous? Cet état de choses aura une fin. Soyons tous des honnes sobres—les blancs, les jaunes, les noirs. Que les honnies de race blanche aient les choses qui leur appartiennent; que les Jaunes, en toute justice soient aussi on possession du bien à eux appartenant; et avec d'autant plus de raison que les Noirs, 400,000,000 fort et qui, au même titre que les blancs, sont aussi les créatures du Dieu Créateur, que ces Noirs, dis-je, rentrent, eux aussi dans leur patrimoine légitime. Que l'Angleterre remet donc à l'homme Noir ce qui est à lui. Nous demandons, à la France de transmettre tranquillement à l'homme Noir l'hiriteage de ses aieux. Trés courtoisement nous demandons à la grande THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JUNE 14, 1994 Je ne prendrai même pas la peine d'entrer dans les détails des quelque modalités judiciaires transformée par ce décret.

Une idée armée et le respect de la mémoire des meaux et des nœuds accouvent d'un moment l'réconnaissance de manes destinées à rester toujours des sujets et des fondations. La vues est au moins catégorique. La Troisième République a trouvé le mouvement. Le Code de l'Indonésia est en effet moins tapageur aux veux de l'étranger, qui une armée trop représentative de l'esprit de compuite et d'asservissement. Et puis l'intervention de la force armée suscite de rébiliances, tandis que la toupe-pussie remise aux mains d'un administrateur obscur est une garantie de tout repos pour les sociétés exploitantes, pour les conseils d'administration d'icelles et pour leurs humbles représentants au Parlement et au Ministère.

Par le PRINCE KOJO TOVALOU HOUENOU Dams Les Continents Cens qui espérént colmer le mé- contentement des indigenes de mo- colonies a coupés de palliatifs et de deni-mesures, pouraient croire que nous nous montrerons satisfaits des quelques reformes apportées à la justice indigene par le decret du 22 mars dernier. l'A. E. F. ont ainsi un seul défenseur, celui du guovernement. E voila pourquoi, la justice est muette. L'enseignement — le non-enseignement—devrais-jé dire, est l'auteur moyen discret de se préparer des esclaves mettons des boys, pour être moins précis. Les Ecoles primaires sontou a fait insuffisantes, celles secondaires demeurent inexistantes. A Dakar on enseigne selon les pigments des élèves, mais avec les négmes programmes, deux sortes d'études medicales. Les Européens obtiennent le titre de médicin et a capacités égales l'étudiant indigène reste médecin subalterne. Cette méthode est poursuivie à l'Ecole Normale d'Aaixen-Provenoe ou les élèves-maitres de couleur ne peuvent obtenir leur mutation dans le cadre nétropolitain même quand ils sont munis des diplômes exigibles pour les "autres" Français. - Aux Colonies défense est faite aux instituteurs, et aux professeurs d'enseigner l'Histoire de France et la Géographie aux élèves indigènes qui pourraient tirer de ces sciences quelques comparaison entre la façalité du Moyen-Age et celle du XNé siècle, c'est-a-dire celle pratique aujourdhui chez eux. Quant à l'ethnographie et à la géographie ce sont des connaissances jugées unisibles par une administration qui trouve sollicieuse la seule lecture du Bottin. Dans certaines régions de Madagascar en effet, les malgaches ne peuvent consulter cet ouvrage public qui risquerait de les mettre en relations avec des commerçants métropolitains. La muse en valeur des colonies, qui mais pour les colonisateurs seulement. La monarchie magissait pas autrement. Celle de Belarbin par exemple était accueillante à tout progrès et douce aux travaux de l'esprit malgré ses rigures et ses contours singuières. Contunes bien exärières d'ailleurs par un envahissé qui devait, comme tous les envahissés, se trouver une excuse. Nous pouvons demander aujourd'hui: qu'une-vous fait à notre place. Ce n'est pas à la France encore une fois, que je pose cette question mais à ses représentants qui ont remplaç des chefs frustes, brillants et enplumes par les chefs des Dorte-Plume pour employer l'expression de votre impourable Randau. Ils sont des très, cyniques et ne travaillent pas au grand jour. Mais nous connaissons certaines de leurs calculaires qui firent plus de mal que les autres les plus anglaise. Ce contre collis que nous voulons tout cover. Et le seul parti qui ne donne conscience. La Presse doit etre libre Meme aux Colonies D.ai M. FERNAND COUTTENOIRE DE TOURY Dans L'Action Coloniale L'origine de gosse et de rapacité gui parce au le monde au lendemain de la journée, il a moilleurement toujours tourné colonnes. D'autres jours sessions d'ourtre met, dans cet anne France "dont le sort davant le tour pour compter la mixté pole, le midgone, après s'être vu moins en large pour de la "guerre du Droit", ont plagé une jour, pour l'heure dont en nous se commençait trop, j'ai été Voyage de l'inquartier et de l'athénée que tout percet saur en colonne avale d'où se trouvaient l'Almanac traction trio- convent compliqué. Ne montrons oui une nouvelle tinture avec un effet au milieu de Colonies, son vondrait e piquer qu'une ne ne voudelle va convainter M. Mlbert Surait bien qu'il y avait posés sur son administration une main asserbe, peindre au tourte, les mixtes, mâcher tout pour nos colonies et pour enceinte pour le judgement. Nous avons, par qu'elle est des prémices de M. Jean Fabery en matière cohérente et nous de pouvoir peindre ce que vaudra son ministeau anguel, bien entendu, nous démonstrons par mieux que d'attribuer, pour prouver contraire toute la compétences et toutes les bonnes intuitions, mais, nous savons trop combien il est difficile à un ministeur des Colonies, de connaître exactement ce qui se passe, pour ne parrainer que, dans la meilleur hypothèse, il n'y ait rien de changé avant longtemps, du fait du changement de ministeur. Aussi, le moment n'est-il pas venu de renouver au mouvement qui grâce à l'Action Coloniale et aux autres organes qui voudront bien nous ouvrir leurs colonnes, nous espérons faire naître, dans l'opinion publique française, en faveur du relèvement moral et matériel de nos malheureux frères de couleur. A Madagascar, don, je reçois périodiquement des nouvelles par des informateurs compétents, indépendants et dévoués, la situation est toujours lamentable, et le neon gouverneur, M. Olivier, autre la faire, lorsqu'il prendra poste de son poste, pour nettoyer les rires d'Augias et mettre fla abominables exactions dont sont victimes les Malgaches. Accablés d'impôts et de corvain spolés de leura terres ancestrales bafoués et souvent frappés, lorqua s'avisent de réclamer, soumis, matière fiscale, à l'abominable cod de l'indigénat, prives, en somme, d tous droits civils et civiques, les in digênes de Madagascar se voient, en outre, fermer toutes les voies de cours à l'opinion, publique et refuse tous les moyens d'information. O sait, par example, quel monstrum régime d'arbitraire pèse sur la-press qui est soumise, non pas même à l'censure, comme l'était la nôtre, et temps de guerre, mais au bon plaisir de l'Administration qui, sans raison ni prétexte d'aucune sorte, peut sup primer les-journaux, comme vient de le faire, pour notre peti journal Le Libère, tribune du peuple malgache, édité à Paris, grâce aus sacrifices de l'élite indigène, et qu'uf, purément et simplement, saisi à son arrivée à Madagascar. La situation est pire encore, s'est possible, que sous le gouverneur ment de M. Hubert Garbit, et le gouverneur général interimaire, M. Brunet, auquel tout le monde—surtout les Malgaches—était dis posé à faire confiance, aura réussle le tour de force de battre, enquel-tres mois, tous les records de l'impopulaire plus que jamais, se font sentire les collusions entre la haute administration et les riches colonde la Grande île, menant à la prévarication et à la concussion; plus que jamais, les petits fonctionnaires: integres (j'en ai parmi mes informateurs) qui voudraint réagir conie de pareilles moeurs, sont menacés et terrorisés, au point de craindre une disgrâce immédiate, si jamais l'on apprenait. qu'ils osent—cinq ans après la "guérer du Droit"—s'élever contre l'injustice. Firef, il est urgent que soit enfin soulevée la lourde chape de silence qui pèse d'un poids écrasant sur les malgureux Malgaches et sur les indigènes de toutes nos colonies. La saisi du Libéré doit être, en ce qui concerne l'arbitraire, aux colonies comme la goutte d'eau qui fait déborder le vase. Il faut que l'opinion française soit, enfin, sais les scandales coloniaux que les interesses espèrent disténdus jusqu'en France les cris de souffrance et d'indignation de nos frères indigènes et aussi que, librement, notre voix puisse leur répondre et les atteindre par delà les continents et les oceans. Il faut que la liberté de la presse soit pas un vain mot et qu'elle soit respectée, même aux colonies. Nous sommes quelques-uns en France — individualités et groupe-ments — qui ne nous désintéresserons jamais d'une revendication aus-urgente, mais travaillerons à la faire triomphe par tous les moyens en notre pouvoir, par la parole, par la clume et par la faction auprès des pouvoirs publiés, comme vient de la faire la Ligue des Droits de l'Homme, en assistant au Ministre des Colonies et au Gouverneur Général de Madagascar, la lettre que nous publions d'essous. Une crise politique Aux Philippines Dar M. JOHN H. WHITAKER, Phi. M. Dans Les Continents La diction qui existe aux Philippines est très singulière et tout à tout différente de toutes les crises que nous avons vu dans les autres possessions orientals' des nations colonisées. Les idées américaines de liberté, de démocratie de self-governement et de défiance, vis à vis de toute autorité non représentative ont été blument introduites dans les œules publiques aux Philippines par l'intermédiaire de l'enseignement. Anjurd'hui les habitants des Philippines rétiennent huitement une indépendance dont ils ont été nourris consciencieusement par ceux qui lesiennent en esclavage. Xon seulement la théorie de la déclaration de l'indépendance des États-Unis qui dit que "les gouvernaires reçoivent leurs vrais mandats des gouvernés" et les paroles l'Abraham Lincoln affirmant qu'aucun homme n'est assez bon pour gouverner un autre sans son consentement", ont été enseignés librement, mais le peuple des les s'est déjà vu donner aussi presque tous les pouvoirs de self-governement. Le résultat naturel es que les leaders de la race ont acquis, non pas uniquement, une habilité considérable dans l'art, mais aussi l'appétit de gouverner. —Traduit par le Prof. Jol. Adam. THE PEOPLE'S FORUM Live Marcus Garvey Red, Black and Green in the Editor of the Negro World: I have read the Negro World for ear and a half years, and think it is of the greatest newspapers I ever will. We should all help it to reach over Africa. Marcus Garvey, God him, has what the Lord gave to us him, and no nation on earth can top the redemption. of Africa, and I. Red, Black and Green flag. GEORGE N. NICHOLLS. Guatemala, C. A. People of Homestead Working for the Program Do the Editor of the Negro World: I take great pleasure in writing to you to let you know that we are yet driving to build up this great orga- lization in this community. It is always a great pleasure when the time comes or me to go to a meeting of the J. N. I. A. I believe it is the greatest organization, that ever was organized or Nextoes by Negroes. I am proud that I am a member of it. We are planning for a rally some time in June, so that we can send up donation to the parent body for that great steamship line which you expect to start in September. I hope that you will get the necessary amount you need to put the big program over I am longing to see this big business start. Three weeks ago we had the pastor of Clark Memorial Church to speak to us. He made a wonderful address and also joined the division. I think in the course of time we will be able to convince all the people that we are on the right road to success. My prayer to God is that He will spare the life of the honorable Marcus Garvey to a ripe old age, so that he can lead this organization on until we realize the great bless that it has out to accomplish. W. J. THOMPSON Homestead, Pa. Christianity is All Right— But White Christians? To the Editor of the Negro World: There appeared, in the World on the 24th inst., a comment by one Mr. De Vere Stuart on Mr. Garvey's advice to Negroes regarding religion. I agree with Mr. Garvey in almost all of his philosophies. I also like to read Editor T. Thomas Fortune, specialist on account of his sincerity, sympathy and practicality. Monsieur De Vere Stuart said in part that any people that accept as a God-decided flat teaching to the effect that they must forever be hewers of wood and axes of wood will all but intents and purpose remain just that and nothing more. Just what does the Negro accept? It seems to me that we do not really accept religion, in the true sense. How can a people be regarded as being religion, when they do not seem to understand what religion is all about, and when they seem to be so false to it and so many other obligations as well? One cannot be Christian and a European chatter box movie clapper and policy player at the same time. BISHOP L. E.

Chicago 11 Tracherous Preachers of Miami and Mr. Sherrill To the Editor of the Negro World: Please allow me space to express my feeling towards the insane jealous feelings of some of our so-called preachers here in Miami, which caused the Hon Sir William L. Sherill to leave before his mission was ended. Just about the time the doctrines of the U. N. I. A. were beginning to take a hold on the Negroes of Miami, some of our so-called preachers thought their end had come; so, to lengthen their hold on the people a little longer, they got hot-headed, and went down to the authorities of the city and made a dangerous, vicious statement concerning the U. N. I. A. and the mission of Sir William L. Sherill here. They did it so as to frighten the people away from the movement. But alas! they made The English Way with "The Race. Problem in the Caribbean" Discussed in a Sympathetic Way by an American GOVERNED BY NEGROES Careacon is the most dot in the Caribbean Sea, which appears only on the largest maps. It belongs, with a score of other small islands, to the "Presidenty" of Grenada (which is associated with Trinidad and St. Vincent in one colonial government) in the Lesser Antilles. There are not over two thousand people in Careacon, and all but a very few are black or colored. They raise cotton and limes, chiefly, also a little sugar-cane and cacao. The only regular means of communication with the outer world is a battered shop with a Negro captain and crew, that plays weekly between the island and Grenada. Chance landed me on Careacon one warm day last March, and chance led me into the bare courtroom above the police station, where if seemed to me was dramatized quite simply the secret of Englishish in dealing with a coiled "inferior vice" without reins and paddles, without creating an only one of the race problem. I am aware how disfigured the comprehension of the casual travelers are likely to be, how he smooths and forgeryless appearances, rationalizing whatever he sees fit some preconceived formula but I had no preconceived formula about the race question, and so I gave what I saw and felt for what it may be worth. British Justice Hurrying along the one street of little Carrousel I saw a white man elder in from the country on a well groomed pew, dwarfing in the small square opposite the police station, he has been to a red there, and mount the long shaft of wooden step that led to an upper step, up which for some time a stream of colored pouches danced in their feet had been going. I followed the crowd. The courtroom was tightly packed with a hundred and black people of different shades of blackness, the immigrants, their friends, and counsel. The white man in it behind the bench under a failed insignia of the IV, his crown attorney and court red cross, below him, all very keen. A lawyer attorney was defending a person who had gone into a street on Circumba Day, the person was and had relied on arrest. A victim of war were heard, and he was allowed to speak in honour. The judge in the potential English version of letters took an active hand in all aspects of the proceedings, and was controlling the executive mot of self defence, cutting off the Crown law, in which was reporting him. The judge was evidently determined to get at the point of the matter to people and now sequestered William Williams infraction of the regulations had been. It was the same way with the old woman who had omitted to take out a couple for her mule, with the quarrelsome group that disputed the ownership of an old house, with all the rest of the petty case that came before him the long hot foremum. Sometimes he entered the luggage to settle out of it. When he were gone in his own mind, he put the car over until the next session, and always he made voluminous pouces in long hand. Dull, but Honest I got there abashed while Careacou's dirty linen was being carefully washed out. The white judge, the sole white person he rode myself in the courthouse, for that matter the sole white man I saw in the town that day, was not an especially clever person; in fact, rather dull and commonplace. But he was so fair, so honest, so determined to do the "right thing" without a trace of conscience superiorly either of race or of function! And the attitude of the colored people crowded into the stuffy courtroom reflected this attitude of the white judge. They were orderly, serious, quiet (as quiet as any gathering of Negroes ever can). It was apparent that they knew justice would be done, not only between themselves and the law, but between themselves, and members of the "superior race." Court adjourned for three weeks. The faded little whiskman in the correct English gentleman's riding costume gave some instructions to his Negro clerk, walked out of the courtroom, mounted his horse, and rode off. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JUNE 14, 1924 It worst for themselves. It worries for themselves. They have just us a greater determination; they have just stirred the hearts of the people towards the movement; they have just given us a greater enthusiasm to greet the honorable gentleman again; they have just given us a new set of members. We here in Miami, will make them realize, that when they tackle the U. N. J. A. they have tackled a very big job. The division is here to stay until it helps in the bringing about of Africa's redemption. These men are like slaves trying to hug their chains; let them hug them. The day is fast coming when we that they attacked will help loose them for them. Send us again the honorable gentleman to preach, the doctrines of the N. U. I. A, which I know will knit many hearts together, and sweep over Miami like a mighty avalanche. The enthusiasm here for Marcus Garvey and N. U. I. A. is second to none, so I ask to make another effort to come here so that this great enthusiasm may be nourished. THE OBSERVER. Miami, Fla. This, I knew, was not an idyllic and isolated case. Something very much like it was taking place throughout the thousand-mile reach of British islands in the Caribbean. Sometimes with a colored magistrate behind the bench, for already the English are appointing colored judges just as they have for a long time admitted colored people to the civil services (until today the great majority even of the more responsible posts are filled by them). Of course, the police, including their officers, are black, and the court officials. That has not always been so, but two generations ago a white English governor of one of the colonies pronounced the self-existent truth that as these tropical islands must inevitably some day belong to, the black people, they being already by numbers and by adaptation to their environment dominant. It was advisable to appoint members of the "inferior race" to all possible government posts. Efficient and Courtcous It was a light-colored custom-house inspector who came out to the schooner when it dropped anchor exactly at sun-down in the harbor of Kingstown, St. Vincent, and with a courtesy and businesslike efficiency that might well be copied by our New York customs' inspectors, cut the red tape, expeditited us asher with our luggage, and personally concerned himself in finding an abolished place in the crowded town. He was a gentleman not only in speech and manners, but in his intelligence and lack of official hoorbusiness. So with the dark doctor who came off at Castles and let me absorb two hours before the regulations permitted, and his colored colleagues in the custom house, who explained pertently and politely the numerous infactions of the laws of which I had been temporarily guilty on my arrival. The colored head of the agricultural department of Grenada was a fellow traveler on the mail packet from St. George's to Caracouen, he and his micro-scope, for he was engaged in investigating the boil weetht. He was not only an educated man and an intelligent gentleman, but also a kindly person with an instinctive courtesy toward an ignorant stranger that one might look for in an American office of similar rank. In my wardroom through these islands, with navigator contacts from Barbados to Trinidad to St. Kitts and Antigua, I met nothing but courtesy and intelligence among these officials of the "inferior race" and as for the police—if one was in catch of a meal or a clean bed of cultural information, one turned to the police station, and invariably found there an obliging black corpse or surgeon, who interested him off immediately in providing what one was looking for with a policeman and a command of good English that might not to shame New York's arrest. A Contrast The contract in all that between a solution of our own "black belt" whether in Alabama and Mississippi in St. Louis and Chicago, and any of the English colonies must astonish the American traveler. What has brought about this deepen atmosphere of tolerance and mutual respect between the races? Doubts many intricate causes, but preeminently the English, habit of justice and the experiment of letting the colored people share in their own government so largely. And I never heard in the mouth of a colonial white, no matter how irritated he might be over labor conditions, such brutal and stupid opinions about the "inferior race" as are only too common among the Ameri- I had two stock questions that I put to the white officials I met, among others, to the chief medical officer of one colony, the attorney general of another: "How many crimes of violence have occurred in your jurisdiction in the last two years?" Sometimes they had to go back four and five years to find a case of first-class assault or murder. The attorney general recalled one afrocious case that he prosecuted in three years. Compare that with Chicago or New York, for that matter any rural district of a similar density of population, either North or South, in the United States! My other question was: "Can a white woman of the upper class go safely anywhere against time of day or night in your islands inescorted?" The answer to this was a state of surprise: "If course! Why not?" When one realizes that the country districts in these islands, because of their lofty mountains and poor roads, are often much more remote from the centers than the distance in miles would indicate, it seems to an American unbelievable that "the usual crime" is practically unknown in these colonies. Bet- ter, evidence perhaps, than hearay is the fact that white women live on country plantations, at times afine, except for black servants. I recall what a Northern white man living in Williamsburgh, Virginia, once told me in all seriousness, that no "respectable" white woman ever dared to walk outside the narrow confines of the town unaccompanied. What has taught the colonial black to be so much less bestial than his American cousin? Or is he? Is the "usual crjme" a form of perverted imagination or an excuse for race tyranny? Checkmating Road Hogs In the English way both races are compelled to observe the laws—even the traffic regulations—in these faraway dots of tropical land, as no American ever obeys anything if he can help, himself. The motor car in which I was riding, going at a footpath through a crowded village, happened to knock the tray off a cooled woman's head, guillting her lead of vegetables. It was not the driver's fault; the woman was staring over her shoulder in the opposite direction—and we might easily have got away. But a raised white-gloved, hand from the black policeman beside the road caused the chauffeur to stop immediately, and a thorough investigation of the accident was held then and there. The roads do not belong exclusively to the motorists in Trinidad or in any other British colony. The English respect for the fundamental decencies of life has been firmly implanted in the Negro consciousness in some in tames oddly so. In spite of the tropic heart and the inviting coolness of the most smooth bathing to be had in the world, at almost any point of the shore, one never sees any body over ten taking a plunge failed. One warm afternoon when I had landed on a lonely little loch, entirely surrounded with coconut palm and thick untreat growth, without a dwelling of any sort in sight, I was preparing for an impromptu swim with a wringing were descended on me the prologue fitted a dummy connected by the palms.

Abashed by this firm correction, I resumed my underclothes and was permitted to bathe unmolested. Interracial Social Contact There remains, of course, the important field of social contacts between the races, about which the traveler can form few 'reliable impressions.' The English colonial in the Antilles will tell you that "the best white people" have no social contacts with the black or any of his colored variation. They tell you woeful instances of white English girls who have married men of color at home and have been brought to the colonies, only to suffer complete exclusion from white society. Of course, they admit, the white men will live with black women—that can't be helped! But in their homes, as their clubs, there are no contacts whatever between the races. Considering the large number of highly intelligent and educated colored clerks, working side by side with white men in business and government offices, one is inclined to accept this dictum with more than the usual grain of salt, which is apt to increase when one questions further the franker and more open-minded whites. One finds that there are "rare" exceptions, in the tolerant British fashion, and many gradations of social exclusion, depending on the individual case. If we've known all about his people for a long time," or if he is the right sort, we "forget a little color." Then there are the modalities of official society, or "Government House," where colored officials with their families may be received at the more formal functions. In brief, the dwindling minority of pure white colonies do their highest test to preserve the purity of their race (as they have an undoubted right to do), except by abstaining from intercourse with black women. I suppose for the most part their small clubs are practically without members of "color." But it's not usually matter of great importance whether these tiny groups exclude all "color" from their circles or not. The latter, the few traitors, the only ones the government offices allow the few high administrative posts. Nature's Way of Forcing the Hair to grow long, soft and healthy.

Whites Giving Up To all intents and purposes, then, this is a black country officered and administered by colored people, largely for themselves. The whites are giving up the struggle and abandoning the islands. They grumble about the labor, the economic conditions; which comes down practically to this, that profitable exploitation by white men is dependent upon an ample supply of very cheap labor. The more the colored man rises in the economic and social scale the less profit can the white plaster make off him. And the white man cannot stand the climate, in the long run, as the colored man can. The result is inexcitable. It is to the credit of the English colonial that the white man accepts the inexcitable in the only way that could prevent a nasty race problem, such as we have on our hands, increasingly.

ATLEY HOTEL ASSONABLE 50th Street E or Phone Harlem 0628 Natives Warned by Governor of Gold Coast of "Serious Difficulties," Which May Confront African Youth Who Go to England for Education—Discrimination Denounced (From The Gold Coast Times) We publish in another column a "warning notice to:West Africans seeking admission to a University College in the United Kingdom" issued under the authority of his Excellency the Governor, and the document is interesting as indicating the influences at work against the admission of Africans to the higher seats of learning in Britain. We are informed by this official notification that the Governor has received certain representations from one of the older English Universities and that his Excellency is anxious that African parents be made fully acquainted of the "serious difficulties" which may confront African youths who are sent to Britain to complete their education without proper inquiries having been made beforehand. We are further told that the pressure on the universities has become so great that it is not possible for them to take in all the candidates seeking admission, even though they may be up to university standard. And we are urged not to send boys to Britain "without accepting first from the Director of Education (who has been appointed for the purpose) whether the boy's standard of education is sufficiently high to qualify him for admission to the institution." There are two points in the warning notice which make us suspect that there is more, or is apparent on the face of it. On the one hand we are warned that the pressure on the universities is so great that it is not possible for them to take in all candidates who present themselves even if they are up to university standard; and on the other hand we are urged to LEARN THE VALUE OF ADVERTISING AS IT PAYS ALL SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS MEN WILL SUPPORT THIS STATEMENT Do Not Throw Money Away by Starving Out Your Business of Publicity The Same Way an Oiler on a Limited Train Stops to Oil the Wheels for Smooth Running, So You Too Must Stop to Oil Your Running Business With Advertising Success Comes to Those That Reach After It A Few Dollars Spent for the Placing of an Ad in a Worthwhile Newspaper Such as the NEGRO WORLD Will Send Your Business Intake Up 100 Per Cent.

C. SALTUS, Advertising Dept. consult the Director of Education 'as to whether candidates "have the necessary qualifications for entering a university," when the Director will do all in his power to assist in the admission of candidates. Now, if "the pressure on the universities" is so great that it, is not possible for them to admit all the candidates who present themselves even if they are up to university standard, we can not see how the Director of Education will get his own approved candidates admitted, in spite of the pressure, unless the local government has arrived at some secret understanding with the university authorities to pass all candidates having the impriser of the director, and to let the others who seek admission without his license take their chance. It does not seem unlikely that influence is being quietly exerted in official circles to get obstacles set in the way of African youths seeking entrance to the British universities. Our readers will recall that in M.I.T that furthough in England his Excellency the Governor paid a visit to Cambridge, which may be "one of the older English universities" alluded to in the official warning notice, and had a "talk" with the university authorities; and we all have fresh in our minds the wild injections by the governor against the class of Africans who have completed their education in the higher soils of learning in Britain. In his recent address to the Legislative Council, the Governor made this significant remark: "It is highly important, however, that we should, as soon as possible, provide some facilities for higher education locally, so as to obviate the necessity for Africans proceeding to England. Taking this latter statement with the several wild suspensions by the Governor against the class of Africans who have received university education, we can easily find out how the wind lites. But let us contrast the language of this ominous official warning with the kindly word of warning and advice to African parents by General Grey, Mr H. A. Loring and Mr. John H. Harris on behalf of the Committee for the Welfare of Africans in Europe, which we had the pleasure of publishing in our issue of November 24 last. This document was published only six months ago and it is significant that it did not contain the slightest hint as to "the pressure on the universities." Parents intending to send their children to Britain for higher education were only warned to make arrangements beforehand as to the selection of suitable schools and outfits, as to clothing, board and lodging, and provision to meet fees, passages and sandry incidental expenses. "If the pressure on the universities" had been so great that even candidates who were up to university standard had experienced difficulty in seeking admission. General Grey and his colleagues would have brought this information before our people. It would be fair to infer then that any difficulties which have arisen during the last six months might have been stirred from the coast. It strikes us that the object of the local government is to work itself into the position of "sole local agent" to the British universities, through which all intending candidates will have to procure "passports" before they can obtain admission into the institutions, and we must say at once that we shall resent any such official modelling. Our advice to African parents who contemplate sending their children to England for higher education is to seek the advice and assistance of the Committee for the Welfare of Africans in Europe, a body of disinterested and trustworthy gentlemen who can do far more for them than any official or body of officials. It does not appear to strike the local government that it will conduce to the best interests of the British-African connection that the higher seats of learning are always open to Africans and the latter encouraged to complete their studies in Britain at all times. If the doors of the British universities are ever closed to Africans, the alternative will be for them to proceed to Germany or to America. In both countries the youths will be received and well treated and they will return home equally benefited, and if we can get a number of African youths educated in Germany we shall have in the country a number of men with the German scientific culture which has made the Germans so eminent in Europe. But how would the British government like the idea of the presence in the country of a number of Africans trained in German philosophy and Indoctrinated with German ideas or with the doctrines that pervade the minds of Afro-Americans? That will be the inevitable result if Africans are obliged to proceed elsewhere than Britain to complete their education, and this consideration should make the irresponsible spirits at work pause and reflect. It seems to us that the African will not ultimately lose as much as the empire as a whole if the British university authorities are so ill-advised as to place obstacles in the way of African youths pursuing higher studies in Britain. -Ira Bryant is still doing business at the old stand in Neshville. -Sixty per cent of the colored inhabitants of Illinois live in Chicago. -Two-thirds' of the total colored population of Michigan live in Detroit. -Ice dealers have started schools for the purpose of teaching drivers efficient salesmanship. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JUNE 14, 1924 Native African Sees It That Way and Pleads That the Scattered Negroes of the World Benefit OUTSIDE AID NECESSARY (Correspondent in Gold Coast London) It is an interesting thing to watch a plant grow from seedling to fruition or a man from childhood to developed manhood. But it is much more interesting to watch the growth of an idea from birth to action. It has always struck mature minds that unity is better than discord, and, translated into action, great characters have even waded through blood, where necessary, to promote unity. An instance in point was the work of the great Bismarck, who lived and worked and died for German unification. So was the great war of American unification, of North and South, under Abraham Lincoln. So was the seven hundred years' struggle to keep Ireland a part of the United Kingdom. It is true that the United Kingdom is dismembered in all but name. Yet what the sword and diplomacy had failed to do Britain now hopes to achieve by the sentiment of Empire and a common throne. And, to turn to another phase, we find that now, that Ireland is practically independent, there is a movement afloat to unite all of Gaelic oricin, be they in Ireland or Scotland. To come to bedrock, the forces of the Universe make for unity, and disintegrating elements are things of the evil one. With the facts of history and of nature before us we can see nothing phenomenal in any people, or members of any race, feeling an 'impulse' to come together; and what is natural with the white, or the brown, or the black race, must also be true of the black race. Hence we must take it as a normal development of healthy sentiment when we recognize that the black folk the world over are now in the grip of a tremendous impulse to come together. Ethiopia has been aroused as never before in her history, and it would seem that the hour of destiny has struck. That being so, it becomes interesting to direct attention to centers of useful activity in the march of Ethiopia to nationhood. Liberia is conveniently situated on the West Coast of Africa with Sierra Leone to the west, the Ivory Coast to the east, and French and English territory to the north. It is a virgin field of African colonization, undisturbed at present by the aggressive type of modern development. Her cities have yet to be built. Her railways and internal communications have yet to be constructed, and altogether there is before her an era of prosperity as a result of progressive development of her territory and resources. A great responsibility would seem to devolve upon Liberia by wise, frank and advanced statesmanship to set up, to build up a modern state second to none on African soil. And to do so she ought not to be averse to making free use of African talent and African money wherever these may be available. I want Liberia to understand that it was in the order of Providence that the last loan attempted to be floated by her implied, or involved, the compromise of her national intensity would have been a calamity to the race. She is marked out for great things in the careful and gradual absorption of useful African element, which would form the nucleus of a great nation. With the facts before us I believe the time for action has come. I have in action more than words. Provided my immigration laws are sufficiently elec- tize to let in useful African element, in the name of common sense I see no rea- son why the money and the talent of the African at home and abroad should not be let in for the upbringing of Ethiopian nationhood. But Liberia must first of all realize her duty and her responsibility, her duty to the African race, and her responsibility in setting the fashion of how in a practi- manner to build up an African nation upon African soil. President King has the opportunity of his life. May God give him the wisdom to selen that opportunity and lead it to the higher purposes of racial advancement. I cannot see that either the Liberian government, or any other civilized government in Africa, East, West or South, can seriously object or raise difficulties in the settlement of Africans in the land of their presentitors. At the present moment throughout the African colonies and settlements European enterprise of every description is encouraged and welcomed. Why, in the name of reason, should any obstacles be placed in the way of the enterprise of the African abroad? Such a policy can have but one meaning, namely, fear and dislike of the African developing a classification of his own on African soil. And since those who harbor this sentiment cannot be the friends of the African, they deserve no consideration and should expect none from the point of view of African nationality. Meanwhile the work of European peaceful penetration proceeds apace on our continent. The Cape to Cato Railway will soon be an accomplished fact; and the French are busy planning to cross the Sahara and to connect their West African railway system with the upper reaches of the Niger. One might address an appeal to the conscience of the civilized powers, if such a conscience exists. By what right can Europe profit by the good things of African soil and the African himself excluded? I believe there is bound to be an adjustment sooner or later and the adoption of a policy of live and let live. If, however, we indulge in a vain hope, still must the African at home and abroad work, and work admonitiously, until the day dawns when he shall sit under his own vine and fig tree. President King Has Improved the Opportunity to Encourage the Native People and Strengthen the Natish EUROPEANSENCROACHING (Correpondent in Gold Coast Leader) I should like some descriptive poet to apostrophise Liberia—not as she is, but as she shall be. And, even now, she is full of hope, for she holds in her keeping the soul of a great nation that is to be. One of the greatest characters in contemporary West African history is William Waddy Harris, a seer and a teacher. He is a Liberian aborigine, untutored, unlettered. Yet, he holds within his power truths as to the redemption of Africa, which the wise and the learned would be glad to possess. He has been called a seer, for he had visions of what might be, and a teacher because he has the gift of forcing truths home in a way the very ministers of the World might envy. That the day of Africa has dawned does not, however, require a prophet to tell us. He who runs may recognize the fact from the stirring of the bones in the valley and the activities of souls once dormant. President King has done a wise thing by the adoption of an aboriginal policy, which has made possible the election of the Hon. H. Too Wesley as the vice-president of the republic. The Hon. Too Wesley is an aboriginal who by character and encouragement has risen to become the second administrator in the State. It is a policy full of hope for the future of Africa, and a further farseeing political act was the fixing of January 7 to be commemorated in future as "Aboriginal Day." I wonder how many thinking Africans think of Liberia, I would have every member of the race, who has the welfare of Africa at heart, to pray for and think of Liberia. It is the coming country of the world. For, in it, will be reared a civilization that will stand the test of time. Speaking of a civilization in a new era, it is evident that it must come from a virgin race that can afford to discard the unnecessary trammelings of the efface system that is crumbling under its own weight before our eyes. To regenerate the world and to bring into it fresh ideas, fresh alms, fresh objectives which will preserve mankind should be the work of the highest souls whom the Master shall appoint. As such, the work of Ethiopia in this connection should be free from antagonism by the present material aid. But, if twenty century civilization should cleat to serve mammon and its belly, then still the work must be done, though it involves conflict and the reading of hearts. New Day New Liberia is particularly suited for the work in hand. Her view meets in the past her for vision that along new channels and fresh avenues of in present world philosophy. There shall be on Liberia a roll present to and welcome leaders that will record the world event of William Waddy Haines, a merce Koehnen, astounded the West Agent on world in 1914. He is even now working for the Africa that shall be. The Liberian coast is self-effident and active. Her vision is putting in a two way life in a day and thinking that the future is more well than the past. She will be trained to speak and work for the Dearborn King on new endeavors that will commence the new world of the Republic. This will be done in the country where she is born and then in the country where she is raised.

The plant draws from the chemicals of the earth, the animal from the plant, and the perfect man-gives poison to the perfect soul. The great American nation is made up of fragments of different nationalities. Anglois and Saxons and Danes form the backbone of the English people, and you have to let in Norman and Gaelford and Welsh before you get a British nation. And the history of Australia, or Canada, and of South Africa tells the same tale. Why should it be different with Liberia? Why should not Liberia absorb some of the finest elements of our race from the West Indies, the United States, Sierra Leone, the Gold Coast, the Gamola and Nigeria and from other parts of Africa, east and south? Curiously, President King, we believe, halls from Sierra Leone, and one of the greatest names in Liberian history, Edward Wilmot Bryden, was a West Indian. Why, I would ask, should not the experience gained of statecraft, of control and of achievement by the sons of Ethiopia in divers world centers of activity be available for the promotion and the development of Ethiopian nationhood? Upon President King is a great trust imposed. We pray for him strength and wisdom to seize his opportunity and hand down a name to posterity. But it is possible for Liberia to be timid, to be narrow, to be unduly sensitive. Nay, even the self of the moment may be allowed to erash the vision of a great nation, a world power that, under God, must prove the salvation of mankind.

Liberty Hall, New York, was filled to capacity on Wednesday evening, June 4, on the occasion of the meeting arranged to say adieu to the experts who leave in a few days for Liberia, Africa. The meeting was a very enthusiastic one, the vast audience entering whole-heartedly into the spirit of the occasion, described by the Hon Marcus Garvey as the most glorious hour in the history of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Four engineering and building experts (one other is already in Liberia) with an executive secretary and paymaster comprise the party which form the vanguard of African Redemption under the auspices of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. They will proceed to Liberia and establish a construction camp on the Cavalla river, the site of the first of four colonies to be built by the Universal Negro Improvement Association in Liberia. They go to prepare the way for African settlers, who will sail from New York City to September. It is expected on the first ship to be purchased by the Block Cross Navigating and Tacting Company, Inc. The Hon. Minister, George presides over the meeting, and with him on the platform were Mrs. Theresa and the executive officers of the厅. N. An excellent counselor rendered after whom Mr. Minister planned the meeting of the meeting introduced the express A section of the meeting was to expect papers not made.

In September 2005, the centenary note period ended time during him to the 18th. As the discussion of his speech Mr. Gavens called for three comments to the book and his comment. These were by the press. As the notice of the report on Mr. Strange was the title of an in-house in the home who was chosen to be the well-aligned share New G. E. L. Carrsey, a retired dress, emphasized that women were assembled to help them, could be no threat to others in the leave-taking. There would be in stead for the going of the experts, the first step toward making the dream of Marcus Garvey come true. He predicted that before many men shall have passed the world would sit up and take notice of the special efforts being made by Negroes in prove themselves worthless in their heritage. Hon. P. L. Burrows, asistant secretary-general, affirmed his faith in the leadership of the Hon. Marcus Garvey and the ultimate success of the monomyth project sponsored by the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Every Negro should rejoice over the epoch-making step now being made. Hon. S. S. Bourne, chancellor, also expressed the pride he felt at that moment and made an earnest plea to Negroes everywhere, and especially the members of the association, to support the program with their finances. OBJECT OF THE MISSION In his opening address, Mr. Garvey explained the object of the experts' missions. He said: "We are seeking to assist the great Liberian Republic in building a real nation on the continent of Africa. We have arranged to assist in the industrial, agricultural, educational and cultural development of Liberia. We agment people they have when the conquer ports and pose the sending country look for iron and else, and (Applause) the mind mineral English just like Mr. Stranger Makes a Hint OBJECT OF THE MISSION ITS SOON TO SAIL FOR SIVE ENTHUSIASTIC AT LIBERTY HALL In Able Speech Issues Call the World for Service POWERS WILL NOW HELP AND HELPED THEM strange, Supervising and Mining Engineer, Wins Impressive Speech DLE LIFE WAS SPENT IN EPOCHAL MOMENT is tilted to capacity on Wednesday even the meeting arranged to say adieu to the for Liberia, Africa. The meeting was audience entering whole-heartedly into by the Hon Marceus Garvey as the of the Universal Negro Improvement have on our list thousands of families in America who desire repatriation to Liberia during 1824 and 1825. We have arranged to build four colonies in Liberia during this year and next year. The first of these will be on the Cavalla River. But we are to start actively in October. This group of experts will go into the Cavalla region to make surveys and to start the preparatory work for the accommodation of the colonists who will soil in September from New York. They are to build temporary homes for the accommodation of the e who will be going there. They are to build public roads and thoroughfares, lay out the farms, build warehouses, in tall a sewer system and a water plant so that we will have water when we get there, and a thorough centre and gas system there to order the Midland and direction of one of the oldest civil and industrial companies, not only in America but in the world. (Appliance). We have found a man that we have been searching for for years. You all heard about the Panama Canal which was started by the French engineer, De Léger, under who we guillotise the most brutal dictator because we were not able to control correctly. We do not want to make a mistake like the French who the ambition of the Panama Canal So we did not pick the first man that doing. We proceed the project. We have found four Colonel Gandalf, such a man we Colonel Gandalf found when he important to build the Panama Canal. We have Colonel Gandalf who is going to law the foundation of Africa's commercial and industrial development under the auspices of the Imperial Negro Improvement Association. (Appliance). About the ability of this men, we have absolutely no doubt and no question. We are satisfied we have the best men America and the world can provide for the job, and this man is going to lead a gang of experts who are to assist him in starting the work we have been preparing for for six years. The purpose of the meeting tomorrow is to bid these men adieu. We will meet them in Lakeria in a short while, a large number of us who are here tonight, and we will be permanently with them in Africa by and by. (Applause.) Most Glorious Hour This is the most glorious hour in the history of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. We are not going to heaven just now. We are going to Africa, and we are going in a sensible, practical way, not on wings, but in keeping with modern development and modern progress. A lot of people laugh at us for doing something they have done and are still doing. When the great white people went to conquer new regions they sent experts and nobody laughed. But I suppose they will laugh because we are sending our experts to help build a country of our race. We are going to look for rubber and oil and lead and iron and diamonds like everybody else, and we do not care who laughs (Applause). We are going to develop the mines, we are going to exploit the mineral wealth of Africa just like the English did, just like the French did, just like everybody else who is inter- . A. JAMES C. ROBERTS Electrical Engineer estated in the mineral wealth of the world for the good of Africa. in the middle world of the world for the good of Africa. I understand Sinclair has gone there. He got mixed up with the Teapot Dome out West and he has gone to Africa and has leased-millions of acres of land prospecting for oil. Here he is draining the government oil reserves and there is some commotion about it. I hope he will not drain our oil lands. If any draining is to be done, I think we have the experts who can do the draining. You realize the airiness of the proposition. We are not sky-barking. We are promoting this thing in a friendly, peaceful way with the assistance of everybody, especially the liberal minds of the world. We are surely endorsed and encouraged and supported by the liberal white minds of England and France and the whole world, because everybody realizes that the hour has come for a sober consideration of this human problem. And in view of the fact that our white friends are going to make America a white man's country, we are starting out to make a part of Africa a black man's country. We do not want any confusion here and in Europe between ourselves and white folks. We have here our Henry Fords in the automobile industry, our John D. Rockefellers in the oil industry, and we appreciate highly the effort they have made to build America and to get the result of their labor. We are going in a similar way to use our abilities and energies, and we feel sure we also will produce oil magnates and industrial captains who will build a great African nation later on which will take her place alongside of the other nations of the world. We desire a square deal. That is all we want. We want our share of the spoils of the world. And in an intelligent, peaceful way we are going about it. (Applause). Mr. W. W. Strange, supervising and directing mining and civil engineer, addressed the meeting as follows: Ladies and Gentlemen: After the exceedingly elaborate introduction I have had I hardly know what to say to you. I sincerely hope that I shall be able to meet a small fraction of what seems to be expected of me. There is a question in connection with this enterprise that has always been close to me. That is a historic question. We who are familiar with the history of modern civilization know that our so-called civilized arts, surveying, chemistry, mathematics, the law, astronomy, all had their origin among the blacks (Applause). The white man has not been able to advance the science of algebra one step from where he found it. There is one important tool in modern learning that we need in positive evidence our ancient forfathers knew, and that is the differential and integral calculus, which had its origin in France, Germany and in England almost simultaneously. I feel especially proud tonight that I have been able to spend the greater part of my life on our Western frontier, and in the study of things that are now required of me, and I shall be exceedingly glad if I can fill the bill, as I feel that my whole life has been spent in a special preparation for this moment. (Applause) I might say to you that we are going as a preliminary party, fully equipped. When we get to work in that time, so different to what we are used to, I want you to remember that our arms will be stretched to you for your sympathy and for your backing. (Applause.) This is, indeed, as has been said before here tonight, one of the supreme moments of modern history. That might sound like a foolish prediction now, but if this idea, so ably worked up to the present moment by Marcus Garvey, can be carried to its ultimate conclusion, the men of the future, if they can know about this night, will look upon it as a marking point, a turning point, possibly, in the whole history of mankind (Loud applause). It is indeed a great favor to be able to feel that you are going back to the land where these important sciences originated, and they were originated by men of your own blood, to carry out an enterprise like this. Nothing like it has ever been attempted in modern times. (Applause.) We do not feel fully capable of measuring up to the very high standard that has been set in these introductory speeches, but we can pledge to you the full forces, of our whole being, of all our energy and our assiduous industry in bringing to bear all of the learning of modern times over which we have any command to assure the success of this enterprise. Need for Imagination The technical success of any enterprise requires first imagination. Usau- THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JUNE 14, 1924 M. S. K. REGINALD HURLEY Carpenter and Builden (now in Africa) MR. STRANGE'S ADDRESS: A Supreme Moment Need for Imagination ally that characteristic is attributed to painters and poets and people like that. But if you search beneath the surface of the art of engineering you will discover that the engineer must have an acutely trained and accurate imagination. That imagination must be backed by thorough study; it must be backed by a mental equipment capable of solving the difficulties as they present themselves. Marcus Garvey has furnished the imaginative element. He has thought out this great idea; he also thought out a way to crystallize it. He has now called upon me as an engineer to work out an economical solution of the problem as it stands, and there is a greater responsibility than you might imagine connected with that. Attached to that responsibility is also the requirement that this work must be successful. A great idea, brains, capital, every element that enters into such a problem is worthless unless the ultimate aim, is accomplished. It must succeed. If we go into our Western country, locate a mining claim, discover valuable metal, say gold, we accumulate capital, and men make the necessary plans for unearthing that ore, but if the enterprise fails from a business point of view, if it does not earn a reasonable interest on the capital invested, it is a failure and the men connected with it are also considered failures. High-Priced Mahogany Now, this outline with which we must start has got to be covered successfully. For that purpose we are taking with us a sawmill to begin the development of that part of natural wealth that is nearest at hand, the timber. I expect within a year to ship back to these shores at least one cargo of lumber that is badly needed in the States. Tomorrow it would be impossible for you to go to any reputable furniture dealer and buy a piece of furniture at a high price, specified as malogany, and be sure that it is what it is. The American wood-workers are using every means, and it is a necessity, at their command to imitate that valuable wood. The territory where we are going is well grown in malogany. We are taking the tools with us to get it out. Now, we do not expect to do that with the few men you see here, but we plan to complete a working organization among the people in Liberia. We are not only going to establish a permanent settlement. One of the principal features in this enterprise, as I understand it, is that we so present our plan on those shores that the native element, which in the past been almost neglected, shall also be developed. We not only propose the development of the commercial and the natural wealth so called, but we expect to create a new wealth in Africa in the development of those black minds. We will have schools; we will have a university; we will have every means to make of them what every nation is proud to make of its citizens. (Appearance.) Give Until It Hurts That will take years and years. Generation after generation will have to work as we are working to carry this plan forward. It is not a thing that can be done in a short time. And while it is in itsception that is the time it will need, your greatest sympathy. That is the time when we shall need more than at any other time your sincere help. Now it is easy to clap your hands here. That does not require a great amount of energy, but it is not easy to go into your pockets, as the treasurer suggested, and give up your money for a proposition that you have not yet seen. But that is necessary. And it is also necessary not only to give as you were asked during the World War, "until it hurts," but give until this thing is complete. Don't ask yourself the question if it hurts. Remember that the forefathers of every one of you belonged on that continent. My great grandfather was an African from the West Coast, where I am going. My great grandmother was an African from Nigeria. All of my people for nearly 150 years have been in America. I love America. It is my own country. But I also love the land of my forefathers, and I am going to give all that is within me to start its development. (Loud Acme). MR. GARVEY'S ADDRE88 Hon. Marcus Garvey spoke on the subject, "The Work Started." He said: We are making history tonight. It is the brightest chapter in the history of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Tonight we finally send away to Africa a serious and well prepared group of men. To do what? To visit Africa? No. This group of men go to the historic country of Liberia, a country founded a little over one hundred years ago by another serious and responsible group of people, for the [Blank] WILLIAM W. STRANGE Supervising and Directing Civil and Mining Engineer purpose of encouraging a work just like this. It was in the minds of the people who constituted the American Colonization Society over one hundred years ago that this hour would come in the history of the black people in the development of the black people in this country, why they established that little country called Liberia that is now the only independent nation on the West Coast of Africa. The people who live in Liberia today are blood of our blood and flesh of our flesh, especially the ruling element, the American-West Indian Liberians. They represent in Liberia today the offspring of an earlier generation of Negroes who went from this country and from the West Indies 100 years ago, 80 years ago, 50 years ago, one-quarter of a century ago to make it possible to find and have freedom, a freedom that would, indeed, be worthwhile not only for themselves, but for the rest of their kind. And the hour has come. Alertness of Liberia's Founders Years ago a small group of Negroes left this country. Some went from Maryland, some from the Carolinas, to found that new home that they call Liberia, the Liberia that is now attracting us. They got together there and they made laws among themselves, initiative of the laws of this great republic, for the purpose of insuring and persecuting their society. Coming down the ages they have developed it to the extent that today Liberia is one of the recognized nations of the world. Her constitution is as liberal and as modern as that of any other nation only that in that constitution and in the laws they made, because they had an eye to the future, an eye to this hour, they saw to it that the constitution was so made and the law was so constructed that that country would be preserved not only for them, but their children aid for succeeding generations of Negroes exclusively. So much so that because of these protecting laws they were able to keep out all individuals, allow self-sacrifice who desired to have robbed them of their country years ago under the guise of friendship and idleness. But because of the keenness of our fathers who founded the Liberian Republic and because of their loyalty to their race and to their native land Africa, they hold that country once against other tremendous difficulties, insomuch that the world seems to misunderstand them to the extent of saying that for one hundred years they have done nothing. But if they have done delegation, they had a method in not doing anything. There was method in their madness. If they had attempted to do anything, the something that the outer world desired there would have been no Liberia today, and there would have been no free country on the continent of Africa. But we are satisfied with what our fathers did, what the rulers and directors of Liberia have done for the one hundred years they have occupied the country. They have been able to arouse the sleeping consciousness of the four hundred million Negroes of the world to go to the rescue, to help build Liberia and make one of the greatest nations of the world. And we are going to do it. The answer of the six million active members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association in the Western world, the answer of the four hundred million Negroes who have got the vision of the Universal Negro Improvement Association is that, "Yes, we are going to do it." And I feel sure that with the men we are sending out as forerunners in practical work, in practical achievement, give us 25 years and we will compete the world to change its opinion about the backwardness of Liberia and the inability of the Negro to demonstrate the ability of government. A Fair Chance Wanted We are asking the world for a fair chance. That is all we ask for. We are asking the world for a fair chance to assist the people of Liberia in developing that country, as the world is giving the Jew a fair chance to develop Palestine. And, if they do not give us a fair chance, we are going to raise hell. (Applause) The world will have to make room for us or we will realize the world has no sympathy for us, and if we must die we may as well die fighting with our backs to the wall. But I feel sure a sensible world will not inflict that much upon us because the world ought to know that the Negro, like everybody else, is entitled to just, liberal and fair consideration. That is all we ask. We ask that of liberal America. We ask America to help us in this enterprise. As they have helped different countries of Europe, Russia, France, Belgium, Serbia, so do we ask the liberal white men of THE NEW YORK TIMES Any Man Can Feel Young, Look Young and Be Young Eminent German Scientist Perfects Wonderful Discovery for Restoring the Power and Vitality of Youth. J. NICHOLL8 Mechanical Engineer America to help the Universal Negro Improvement Association put over this program for the development of a country of our own in Africa. We ask the liberal minds of Europe for the same consideration that they have shown to other people seeking self-development. We are going there on a peaceful mission, a mission for the industrial agricultural, commercial and cultural development of that country. We want to prove our worth. And; surely, men, we are going to prove it. We have already demonstrated our worth in helping others to climb the ladder of success. We have splendidly helped America for 300 years to her position in the world today. We have splendidly helped the British Empire for over 300 years to her position. We have for nearly 300-odd years helped France build the French Empire, and we are asking them for nothing more than for their friendly encouragement and consideration in this program of selfhelp. The Negro Makes His Call We want to help ourselves, and we feel sure that when the appeal is made to the conscience of America, America will respond to us as we responded to the call of America. We have never failed America in any circumstances. From the revolutionary period to this we have been willing and ready to answer the call of America, the adopted home of 15,000,000 of us. We have never failed the British when they called. From the time of the Ashanti war, from the time of the Zulu war to the war of 1915, British Negroes, millions of them, never failed the British and their call to service and to help. The Negroes have never failed the French. From the first days of French colonizing in Africa to the guard on the Rhine the French Negro never failed to hearken to the call of France. And, now, we are making a similar appeal, a similar call for help to these great peoples and these great nations. If they hear us not it is because they have lost the sense of humanity, it is because they have lost the sense of justice and fair play. And if their souls are so dead, surely we will not be responsible for the consequences in dealing with dead souls. What Do the Critics Mean? What Do the Critics Mean: We are a separate group of people just at this time. We want a chance to live because we know that if we do not exert ourselves to live we are bound to die, and we are not going to allow anybody to kill us before our time. We know the consequences if we do not start out on our own initiative and our own account. And that is why we do not understand our critics and those we seem to condemn us. What do they mean? Do they mean we must sit down and prepare ourselves to die as the world intends weak and inactive people to do? They cannot be our friends if they do not want us to be active and up and doing. But we count our friends by the million outside even of this race of ours because the world must be sober enough to understand in an age like this you cannot keep so many people down, four hundred millions of them. Some of us at least are alive to this, and the Universal Negro Improvement Association is thinking for the race, and we are presenting this program for the Negro, the program of self-development and initiative. We are going to try it, at least. If nothing more, I feel sure, men and women, that as these men go away from us in a few days they will take with them our best wishes and our united determination to Every man or woman who has grown old "too soon" may be rejuvenated and, whether socially, professionally or in substance, vitality as in the days of youth. An eminently successful German scientist, after years of research, has discovered a simple, utile powerful treatment for arousing the Emoriorine glands that affect practically all of the vital functions of the human body. The Endocrine Laboratory was so enthused over the remarkable results that they have arranged to make this treatment easily available to all who rule that they are "too old" for their years and feel the need of a dependable rejuvenating direct, sensitive action, is called GLANOTOTO, comes in table form, is compassionate and can be easily taken by anyone. Thousands who have tried GLANOTOTO have immediate results, frequently within two or three days, and esteemed to feel the vigor and strength of youth return them so soon. The method of exploiting the GLAND and AFRICAN BARK treatment together with M. stand by them to the last. So long as I am President-General, they shall be in want of nothing in their desire to carry out the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. (Applause.) Vanguard of Experts They are going, I say, to do serious work. They are going to prepare for the group of those of us who will sail from this country in another few months. As you know we are preparing that the first group of colonists sail from New York in September. They will arrive in Liberia around the first week in October. By the time these men sail and land and by the time you get there these men are supposed to have ready for you certain accommodations. You are not going to Africa like the Pilgrim Fathers came to America. Nobody invited them to America. They came of their own accord and they did not know where they were going, and the storm drove them around the New England coast, and they got off the boats and made the trees their home, and they lived in and under those trees for a long while. Now we have been invited home. We have been requested to come home and then we have been told how to get ready to come home, and the sending of these experts is a part of the arrangements under which we are to live under trees. We are going home, and when we get off the boat these men are going to have ready for us temporary homes in which we will until we build permanently for ourselves. And please leave your native laziness behind. (Laughter.) Don't think these men will furnish you, with homes. You will get busy and build permanent homes of your own. Negroes like to pay too much rent anyhow. We will introduce a new system. We are not going to pay so much rent. This engineer of ours is going to lay out plans whereby every industrious man and woman can have a home of his own when you get there. As I have said before, we do not want any bum to go to Africa now. And if I have any friends who are huma take my advice and stay where you are, because we will put you in jail. If you look up the engineer's plans you will find one of the first buildings to be erected to a jail. (Laughter.) The fellow who has a grudge or a spite against the other fellow's goods, please stay in Harlem, in America, and make the best you can with the Irish cop. Leave that part of the white man civilization in New York, in Harlem in America, because we have a new civilization for Africa. We have made arrangements whereby every industrious family going to Liberia will have twenty-five acres of land which you can develop agriculturally or industrially, and in addition to that you will get a free house lot in the city to build your home, and after you have built your house on it the government will give you a free title in fee simple for the occupation of the land. If you are single you will get fifteen acres of land. If you are a woman you will get ten acres for industrial or agricultural development and a free house lot. You will get five acres for every child you have. We have a list of thousands of people who want to go this year and next year. We want all to get busy. Work hard so that you can land in Liberia with at least two or three hundred dollars to start with, because a hum in Liberia is just as bad as a hum in Harlem. Society has no use for such a character at this time. (Loud applause.) other powerful but harmless ingredients for stimulating both gland and nerve centers to normal activity, causing ailments to disappear and vigor, brains and power to return. You will be given a full treatment, a dangerous and expensive operations just send your name and address to the Endocrine Laboratory, Dept. K, St. Louis, U.S.A., and they will send you by mail a full treatment. You will pay the postman only this small sum and a few cents Government postage, or if you prefer, enclose $2.00 in your letter. (Foreign countries remit $2.00 with order.) In white paper, you run through the instructions and positive guarantees. Take the Treatment for one week and if you are not beautifully benignified notify them at once and pay your money in full will be returned. You will receive a letter that will you find it all is claimed or your money refunded without question. Remember, you must grow old in years, but if you now grow old in vigor, growth and vitality is in your own flesh! You will receive today, now, while it is fresh in your mind. The guarantee goes on in every way.
