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. A broadcast warning urges all coupon to be in to the Mme. C. J. Walker, Mfg. Co. by midnight, June 30. 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."

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]. 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 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.

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.

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.

FOR FURTHER PARTICULARS, APPLY 1810 South Street or Follow This Ad LIONEL FRANCIS, President MAZIE KING, Secretary BLOOMINGTON, Ill., May 24. When and where was the Republican party born? 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.

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. OPTIMISM By DeVERE STUART Look upward, outward, to the glorious dawn; The daily emblem of eternal hope! What good to retrospect? The past is gone; Beyond your reach. Why will you longer grope; Among its shades? Nor all your sighs and tears; Can resurrect one moment of those years. Go forward, onward! Now the past is dead. Will you call forth its spectres, grim and bare? The future with its promise lies ahead. Strike for the mark! See that you do not spare. One moment for regret! 'Tis only vain! The yesterdaya once fled, come not again. Brooklyn, N. Y. Health! Health! Health! In the form of "PURASANGA" Do you want a medicine to stop your Bladder, Kidney or Liver Troubles?

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. A record attendance was out to hear this splendid speaker, as hand bills announcing his STOP PROSTATE PAINS IN 24 HOURS Enlargement of the prostate gland is responsible for getting up frequently during the night, that draggy dull ache and burning sensation.

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. Brown acted as chairman. The program was as follows: Anthem by the choir; recitation, Miss E. Miller; anthem by the choir; address by Mr. L. S. Dixon; anthem by the choir; recitation by Master C. 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. Preparedness being the motto of the Universal African Black Cross Nurses Unit of Division 465, the training class of the nurses, in an effort to prepare themselves, have resumed their studies for the year in the office of Dr. J.

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. Sharpe delivered an address, after which the meeting was closed. On June 1, 1921, at the A. M. E. Zion Church, Rev. Smallie preached a wonderful sermon, "What Are You Sowing Today?" Matt. 13-3. Rev. Dr. A. R. Patespaul, who has been a member of the Russell's Institute (white) of Birmingham, Ala., since 1908, and who has performed some medical wonders in the West and South, has now ceased to work under the name of the Russell's Institute and has joined the Greater Negro Medical --- Incorporation, the C. D. Holley Manufacturing Company, manufacturers of chemicals, drugs and domestic products of all kinds. Dr. A. R. Patespaul is better known through the Southern States as old Dr. Patt. He is representing the C. D. Holley Manufacturing Company, Inc.; of Alliance, Ohio, through the Eastern district of Ohio and Western Pennsylvania.

Mr. Charlie Butler, also of this division, left for his home somewhere in the South. BAYOU GOULA, LA. A great universal rally was held by the division on Sunday at the St. Paul Baptist Church. 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.

E Church; Rev. Thomas, of the A. M. E Church; White Castle, L. The principal speaker of the day was the Hon. Watabus Dundas Condola, a native African of Lurbo Kassal, Belgian Congo, who received his education under Dr. T. O. Fuller, Howe Institute Memphis, Ten. 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: 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 paca vi s . eS eee eee eee eee eee ee ~~ . ae eee.

Such legislations wplift the homes, communities and nation; therefore the home has not been neglected but benefited. es ° The only question is how much time should a woman spend in i home and how.much should be devoted to politics. We un- ‘hesitatingly 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.

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. Elles sont indigne d'une France qui se proclame générale, elle sont injurieuses pour me congenères qui n'ont que faite de delegations accordees a certaines chefs par une administration qui sait bien à qui elle tran-met sa contrôle. Gentils boys et presentes tel sont les pîtres que leur témoin comme assiste au tournage, claigne de rendre la justice. Celle à chaque d'un village à l'heure selon les nuies de l'administration ou soin des sociétés exploitant établie sur le territoire. Pour con-ture indigèce qui devient servé de base à cette initialisation soit le plus souvent incommens, ou soit en peind le pire aim de la maître afin attrochement que lequelique égard pour les noirs est antique. Mais con-ture distrustue une thèse que c'est que je miédie se commet, de la maison mante la force, de la ville en bois d'habitat. D'habitat est le européen victime d'un collision pour m'incrent les contime collisions de tout type de lieu. par la mise en œuvre de la convention de la portée de l'image protégera par protection normale qui limite les traitements normaux contenant les défis de la portée protégera. Il est convenu que le contenu des établissements d'origine par qu'il est admissible sondine des Européens pour jusqu'à l'application des normes et moyens de l'objet de la portée protégera célébrables, que vole et con- dlemables à l'intérieur. L'empereur Napoléon III accorde de la 1840. "La France n'a pas choit de transformer en France en origines de l'Europe. 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. On nous dira que l'Afrique poscède des avocats défenseurs. Récensons-les. Nous en trouvons un en Côté-d'Ivoire, un en Guinée, à peine deux au Sénégal car les deux avocats dakarou trouvent toujours moyen de se relayer pour prendre leurs congés en France.

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. 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.

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.

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.

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.
