The Negro World

LET'S PLAY THE GAME The Independent Weekly The Voice of the Aurachaned Negro 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. 26 NEW YORK, SATURDAY, AUGUST 9, 1924 PRICE: FIVE CENTS IN GREATER NEW YORK TEN CENTS BLOEWHERE IN THE U.S. TEN CENTS IN PORTION COUNTRIES FOUR MILLION NEGROES OF THE UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION TO VOTE AND WORK TOGETHER IN NOVEMBER Fellow Men of the Negro Race, Greeting: The Fourth Annual International Convention of the Negro Peoples of the World is now in session. The record of the past week is a splendid one. The delegates who assembled themselves from all parts of the world made such a demonstration of their sincerity, loyalty and devotion to the cause of the Universal Negro Improvement Association that we rise at this hour to face the world as a united force, determined now and forever to uphold the glorious banner of the Red, the Black and the Green. Spirit of Convention The spirit of this convention is something new... It is most unique. We have never heard women have lost their personal individualism and have thrown their whole hearts, souls, bodies and minds into the one supreme object that of an emancipated race and a redeemed country. Let us pray everywhere that this spirit will continue throughout the entire month of August. Let us pray that confusion does not enter the ranks of those who make up this great convention, for great work is to be done. Formation of Negro Political Union Among the many important questions to be discussed immediately will be the formation of the Negro Political Union which is to become the political voice of the four hundred million Negroes of the world. It is necessary that we have one great and powerful political organization to voice the opinions of our scattered race and especially at this time in America when we are looking forward to the great national election. In this year of 1924 four million members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association in America will vote solidly for the men, party and principles that appeal to our idealism. No longer will a member of the Universal Negro Improvement Association give or throw away his vote recklessly in America, but he is going to use it as his only power of defense; he is going to use it as his only means of expressing himself politically for his good and well-being and for the good and well-being of his race. The parties that are now desirous of securing the Negro's vote must realize that it is not to be sold. The individual Negro politician has nothing more to sell, because he represents nobody but himself, especially among the Negroes who make up the Universal Negro Improvement Association. NEGRO ENEMIES USED POLITICS TO BLOCK PROGRESS OF ORGANIZATION—SHALL RETALIATE WITH ORGANIZED VOTES APPOINTMENT OF DU BOIS AS AMBASSADOR TO LIBERIA SHOULD HAVE BEEN PROTESTED BY NEGROES—IN FUTURE SHALL WATCH APPOINTMENTS. Negroes in Office Sometimes Are Worse Than the Greatest Haters of Racc CONVENTION SHALL RING THE CHANGES Vote as You Are Directed by Negro Political Union to make our enemies realize that they cannot insult us, treat us with indignity and expect us to support them. If the ballot counts for anything, and we know it does, then that of the Negro in America will be felt during 1924. There is one thing we are proud of, and that is every member of the Universal Negro Improvement Association is really loyal to the roll call. We are not disposed to say where we will throw our ballots. The convention will decide that. Whether we give it to the Democrats, the Republicans, or to the Independents, it shall only be cast for men, measures and principles that tend to the well-being of the Negro race and the interests of the nation and the Universal Negro Improvement Association. There are many other things that we have before us that will be paramount during the month of August. We are going to discuss them dispassionately and we are broad and liberal to the point that we welcome all. Room for Every One The Universal Negro Improvement Association has room for every Negro who means well by himself and by his race. It stretches out the hand of fellowship and comradeship to each and everyone. Renegades keep away, and traitors are afraid, and the grafters see absolutely no hope; but those who are sincere, those who are loyal to the race and self can always find comradeship in the ranks of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. As we, the delegates of the people, elected by them to represent their interests, assemble and carry out our work in New York we ask that those whom we represent do everything to help us make a success of this convention. The Association needs funds to carry on its work. Let the Delegates Come Those who cannot afford to reach New York, send in all the help you can to the Parent Body. Send in all that you have collected for the Convention Fund. Send in all that you have on your Division Reports, so that the Association can have at its command the necessary force to support itself. We are willing to assist you in an important appeal. It is for help for the Association. Black Cross Navigating and Trading Company Those who have not yet loaned their $50, $100, $200 or $500, do so now. It is clearly understood and defined that the Black Cross Navigating and Trading Company is borrowing loans for five and ten years bearing an interest of 5% annually to help the organization to finance its commercial maritime program. We want ships on the seven seas to trade between America, the West Indies, South and Central America. 'We want ships to trade between America, the West Indies, South and Central America and Africa. We want ships to carry our commerce around the world, and with ships we intend to build up our industries, through which we hope to be able to employ millions of our race. It is a duty that we owe to this generation and to the future generations to build up ourselves industrially, and we hope to do this by starting with the Black Cross Navigating and Trading Company. Greater and Stronger Industrialism Let our cry be everywhere a greater and stronger industrial and a greater and stronger commercial foundation. No people can be permanently great who haven't laid such a foundation. It is the industrial strength of America that makes her leader of the world. It is the commercial and industrial strength of England that makes her Mistress of the Seas. It is the commercial and industrial strength of Germany that made her a fear to the world, and so, if Africa is to rise to the highest heights of national strength, it must be through commerce and industry. Lay Good Foundation Let us now lay our foundation. This should be the keynote of the convention of 1924—a stronger commercialism and a stronger industrialism. Group Ourselves Together Men and women, everywhere, let us group ourselves together for unity. Let us put forth every energy that we have, every spirit and spark of loyalty that we have for this race of ours and go forward. Care not what the enemy says. Don't be disturbed by their actions and by their tongues. It is natural that those who have profited by our ignorance will oppose us. It is natural that those who have lifted themselves to success at our expense will ridicule us. the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and those who lead it, but we are intelligent and sober enough to pay no attention to them. Working for Ourselves It is our duty to save ourselves, to work for our race, irrespective of the opposition that confronts us, so we appeal to you at this time to give every support you possibly can to the great cause of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Those delegates who have not yet arrived in New York are requested to speed up and be here to take part in the discussions of the important subjects that will be laid before the convention. Let everybody who can afford to come to New York be here, and those who cannot come please send in your financial support and help to help us carry out our program. en : ‘2 ee Pde = i ; tt Sk the a | yw . aa ried ee ee Re rg +: ay a ‘ / - 3 ae ‘ 7. ; mh ae: re. fd — be a £ oe i - ao A rae mi 6 wee 4 iis, or ne Pp Te wooeee . nue 8G ptalthge ge .

Everything was-in perfect readiness for the. occasion and when Friday morning dawned, Harlem awoke to find that section where Negroes abound in hundreds of thousands, transfermed into 9 yerjt- able panorama of flags and’ bunting. Gayly bedecked with the colors of Red, Black and Green—the eolors of the organization—grace- fully: mingled with the Stars and: Stripes of America, the main streets and thoroughfares assumed a holiday which imparted festive spirit to Harlem’s Negro populace insomuch that it seemed as if everybody suspended work for the day to watch or participate in the parade.” From lip to lip the word passed that today was the opening of the Fourth Internationa] Convention, Gradually the crowds began to gather and‘by noon—an hour before the parade was scheduled to take place—the sidewalks on every block extending from 125th street to 145th street, on Lenox and Seventh avenues, were packed with a seething mass of humanity, each vieing with the other. for a place of vantage, to say nothing of the hundreds that hung from windows and stood on roofs to get « view of the procession as it passed by. - ecuad - THE DIVINE SERVICES At 10 o'clock divine services, marking the opening”of the conven- tion, were held in’ Liberty Hall, at which time a congregation of about 5,000 people filled the-hall.. The. services were solemn and impreisive and ‘an atmosphere of reverence and devotion prevailed that was indicative ‘of realization of the seriousness which the Universal Negro Improvement Association has taught its followers | tc attach to the spiritual side of its program.

George Alexander McGuire, Bishep of the African Orthodox Church, preached an erudite sermon from the text, “And the Lord said uate him, ‘What is that in thine hand?’. And |: he said, ‘A rod.” It was indeed more than a sermon. It was a practical application of the scriptures to"the program of the Uni- versal Negro Iniprovement Asseciation in its fight for the redemp- tion of.

The significant thing about it is that it has been done in the face of the world-wide belief that it could not be done. Before it was done the common belief was that the Negro people of the world, or of a given place, were incapable of banding themselves together, under the leadership of men of their own selection: for the accomplishment of purposes which would tend to subserve and protect their interests, and not the interests of others. The fact that Marcus Garvey was able to gather around him year after year representatives of the Negro people from all the four corners of the earth; and that he could keep them organised in their locales, and responsive to the purposes and obligations of the Parent Body, was a revelation not only to the Negro people themselves but to the rest of mankind. It was not believed that the Negro could think and organize for his own protection and advancement, and follow his own leadership and finance it, and this latter fact is of the greatest importance, but Marcus Garvey has shown them through the successful workings of the Universal Negro Improvement Association not only that they can do it, but that they have done it. The big world is no longer skeptical about that. The starting point, the beginning of the success of any group or race or nation is a proper appreciation of itself and its interests and of its ability to serve for their mutual advantage and not for the advantage of others. Given that beginning and what any group or race or nation may accomplish will depend upon itself and not upon others. The members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association have learned this lesson during the five years of the existence of the organization, and they are growing in knowledge every day and will come to maturity in due season. Have no fear of that. The enemies of the race, inside and outside it, realize this fact now, and they have no pleasure in doing so, but the reverse. The Fourth International Convention of the Negro People of the World will make race history. That is what its members were called together to make. SPAIN CANNOT CONQUER THE TRIBESMEN It is of vital interest to the Negro people of the world to know that the Spaniards have failed to conquer the Tribesmen of Morocco, over whom Spain exercises a Protectorate. Spain took over the Protectorate in 1909 and in the effort to conquer the Tribesmen it has expended more than $400,000,000. The Spanish people are very much oppressed by the high taxation which the constant military operations in Northern Africa makes necessary, and have shown their dissatisfaction in such a way as to make the Government understand that there has got to be a change. General Prime de Rivera, the dictator of Spain, it is said, has decided to make such changes in the withdrawal of troops as will bring the expenditures for military purposes within the $20,000,000 estimates and, give up entirely the hopeless effort of conquering the Riff Tribesmen. They simply refuse to be conquered. The French, English and Italians also have territorial interests in that quarter of the globe, which they guard zealously, and they are not downcast because of the troubles the Spanish have with the Tribesmen of their Protectorate. When people do not want to be conquered those who want to conquer them often have great loss of money values and man power to show for their efforts. The point is, that if the Spaniards find it impossible to conquer the Tribesmen of Morocco, because the Tribesmen do not want to be conquered, and meet force and strategy with force and strategy, other African tribes similarly disposed can maintain their independence by fighting for it or recover their independence by fighting those who have robbed them of it. It will come to that in the long run. We have echoes of it from all parts of Asia and Africa in the newspaper exchangers and the correspondence which reaches The Negro World from time to time. The inability of Spain to conquer the Morocco Tribesmen, and the enforced relinquishment of control of Egypt and threat to hold on the Sudan at all hazards by Great Britain, are object lessons from which the other Tribesmen of Africa will learn much to their advantage in the evening of things, which is due and coming to all times that have humped the authority and grabbed the lands and obtained the labor of others. THE MEGYT was the first step on the history that any condition is permanent in possession. We all know what steps nature brings us, we are staring at social death and like things that make it death. That is the plight. What is the fact? The masses of the people everywhere are wedded to the old order and fight change of any kind into the last ditch. They prefer to stagnate in the old order rather than hasten the better things in the new order, about which they know nothing but fear everything. They go on from year to year, "bearing the ills they have rather than fly to others they know not of," and utterly die in the stagnation without effort to live. They call it conservatism. Perhaps. We call it death. The earth is a vast graveyard of dead people who died of stagnation, because they refused to grow. We call it arrested development, such as afflicted the Occidental Red Races and which afflicts the Oriental Races, who are so mixed in their race crosses as to make it difficult to differentiate them into any accurate classification. The Japanese only of the Orientals have shown any of the qualities of a surviving race type capable of coping with the requirements of modern civilization. We have noticed with interest that the intelligent natives of Africa, those over whom Europeans have lordship, are very timid in approaching anything that looks revolutionary, that will disturb the existing order, although it may be grinding them to powder. They fear the mailed fist. They hope against hope that bad conditions will grow better, and that the less they have to say and do about them the better for them. We do not blame them, but we strive to wake them up and to make them self-reliant; not rashly but thoughtfully so, and we believe we see signs that they are becoming more alive and self-reliant. It is necessary. The natives are getting their own newspapers and leaders and organizations, and through the teachings of these they are beginning to see in the dark. They are beginning to state their grievances and to insist upon redress for them. The Communist party of the Third Internationale has done much to arouse the spirit of brotherhood and community of interests of the workers of South Africa, natives as well as Europeans, but the natives have not been precipitant in embracing the olive branch. They see trouble for them with the ruling powers by doing so. They have the right view of it, but they will never get any betterment of their citizenship and their economic values without reasonably antagonizing those who rule and exploit them. Our esteemed contemporary, the Johannesburg International, is striving to show them this fact, but they are slow to grasp it. They fear. The London Evening News of July 9 had the following to say about conditions in South Africa and Tom Mann, who is not thought well of by the natives: Six million Negroes, illiterate and ignorant, are awaiting the magic wand of a Third Internationale awakening to begin class warfare against white plantation owners, capitalists, and even their proletarian white brother workers in South Africa, according to Mr. Tom Mann, the delegate of the British Communist Party, who is representing British Reds at the congress of the Communist Internationale now being held in Moscow, says a Riga message. Mr. Mann, addressing the congress, informed the delegates that the revolution in South Africa would be a "leadpipe cinch" providing that the Moscow commissions enlarge their appropriation by an increase of organizing activities among South African Negroes. At present the blacks are only awaiting Communist leaders, financed by Moscow, to lead them into union with the "Union of Socialist Soviet Republics whose present capital is Moscow." Mr. Mann cited the gold industry as typical, reporting that 76,000 skilled white workers refuse to associate with the unionized 230,000 blacks. Therefore—according to Mr. Mann—the Communists should not attempt to communize the white unions but should use the color line to organize the blacks. Should M. Rakovsky's delegation in London obtain a loan, the Soviet Government will have enough money to advance the necessary funds to cause a revolution in Africa and also to increase similar propaganda in India. There is much discontent among the natives of South Africa, but two do not judge by what their leaders have to say in their conventions and through their newspapers that any such revolutionary condition as Tom Mann indicates exists in South Africa at this time. The natives are groping their way; they are not rushing headlong into any movement for their betterment. We think Mr. Tom Mann is fishing for a large propaganda appropriation from the Third Internationale of Moscow to enable him to continue his sort of activities in South Africa. The British people may think that any loan they may make to the Russian Soviet government would help on the discontent among the natives of South Africa, and possibly a revolution, but we don't believe that the 6,000,000 natives of the Union of South Africa are as yet ready to join the Third Internationale of Moscow or to be a party to any revolution. They do not understand the Third Internationale and they are not ready for a revolution. HEALTH TOPICS By Dr. B. S. HERBEN Of the New York Tuberculosis Asan. Some people have "eyes for beauty," some for color, others for fabric, and a few have eyes for pottery or pictures, and rich folk have eyes for books. They are deliving all the time into the pages of volumes of tales. They mine precious metal—these readers of good books. Eyes for everything except for sale. What do they do who have no eyes? It is true that the blind have resources for happiness and service. There have been many musicians, composers and students who lacked sight. Do you know that exquisite "Spring Song" by Hollyme? From the soul of that blind musician, who could not see the changing of the seasons was poured this molody, thrilling with the stirring of life. There is a book here in my library—a thick, large book—on the formidable subject of "Heart Disease." It was written by the great authority of the Middle West. I have been told that, he was blind before he took up the study of medicine and white in college he was assisted by a proud man who sent to him and otherwise smothered the long way, which to the healthiest and most doubtful of unimaginable students in difficult. These gifted spirits which ornate with grave obstructions are rare and though we could be positive that we should be able to create beauty for the world did we lose our sight. doubt that we would choose to part with it. Yet many of us are excessively careless of the eyes which we have. I have even heard it said. "I will not wear glasses! They look so ugly and are such a nuisance! The doctor, said I should wear them, but I just won't. Those who make such foolish statements may not have eyes for sale but they seem to have eyes to throw away. At the first sign of eye strain have the eyes examined, and then wear glasses, if they are advised, as a part of the treatment. It may be that it shall not be necessary to wear them for life. Often glasses correct the defect and after this is done can be discarded. It is far better to "look like a scarecrow" for a short year or so than to be unable to see the other scarecrows. CHICAGO. July 21.—A murder a day in June and 177 since the first of the year in Chicago's record, according to the report of the Chicago Crime Commission. April, with thirty-three, had the largest number of homicides. "The trend in murder is upward," the report stated. "No country, with the exception of Italy, comes near to the United States in the mysterious tendency of its people. This country has twisted so many murders as Italy, and Chicago has nearly threw these as many per capita. "Molly thursday escaped arrest. Only about half of them inflicted are found guilty and only a small proportion of those found guilty order the proper punishment. Out of all jobs entrusted to be hanged last year, only one was arrested." I find that people are more hard-hearted and cruel now than they were fifty years ago. They are also more selfish and greedy. They have more respect for their own feelings and rights than for those of others. This may be as true of groups and races and nations as of individuals. There is more refinement in the cruelty, the greed, than formerly; but the refinement of brutality, perhaps, hurts more than the brutality of refinement. When the two are combined, as is often the case, we have what we commonly find as we go along; that is, in the average; the self-centered person who takes up all of the seat in a car and gets angry if you ask him to move up so that you may not have to hang onto a strap; or the person in a dining car or room who insists that you shall not cat in it, although at a separate table, however hungry you may be, because you may have "a skin not colored as his own." If you get what is coming to you you have to fight for it. I have found that if you want something to eat or drink and have to quarrel and fight to get it you have not much appetite for it when you have worseted the hog and can have it. In leaving the office the other afternoon I found a crowd gathered at the subway, corner and edged in to see what was doing. There was a black man, crazy drunk, lying flat on the ground by the entrance and a big policeman was trying to make him stand up. He could not. He was too far gone. The policeman used a lot of third degree on him, but he did not seem to mind it. Among other things, the policeman pounded the man on the soles of his feet with his billy, and kept up the exercise, which seemed to put some life and movement in the drunk. I did not like the rough treatment the man was getting. liceman, "you should not punish that man that way. You should call the patrol wagon and lock him up." The policeman stared at me without saying anything, but he looked as if he wanted to arrest me for interfering with an officer in the discharge of his duty, if he could call it that, but he did not arrest me. He must not have liked my looks and the determination in the looks, which signaled that I was prepared to go the limit of my protest. He was joined by a big black cop, who stared at me also, but said nothing. One of the Negroes in the crowd said to me: "The cop ain't hurting him. He's one of the best cops on the force." "Is that so," says I. "If he were blistering the soles of your feet with his billy would you think that way? Your turn may come next, if we stand for abuse of such as this drunken thing." "G'long," said the Negro gent, and all of the others appeared to think that way about it. The two cops got the drunk on his feet, and instead of taking him to the station house, guided his faltering steps across the street and turned him loose. The last I saw of him he was staggering down the street. Now, why did not the policemen arrest—the drunk? Simply because to do so would advertise the fact to their superiors that bootleg liquor was sold on their beat, and that they did not interfere with the sale of it. Why? That is none of my business, but beating up a poor, black drunk instead of taking him to the station house was my business, and the business of every good citizen, any one of whom would be liable to the like brutal treatment if he did not protest against it in the case of the poor outcast, who has just as many rights to decent treatment as the best citizen. The night was close and hot and sultry. The street was swarming with children and grown-ups. Our party of three had a hard time, making their way to the place where they live and switer and do other stunts when it is too oppressive to breathe freely. We came to a bunch of youngsters who blocked the way, and knew it, and intended to block it. I took the young leader of the youngsters by the shoulder and gently edged him out of the way. Did he get angry? Not that wise gamin. He simply struck a dramatic attitude and with a grimace exclaimed: "Have a heart, mister. Have a heart." THE Universal Negro Improvement Association advocates the uniting and blending of all Negroes into one strong healthy race. It is against miscegenation and race suicide. It believes that the Negro race is as good as any other, and therefore should be as proud of itself as others are. It believes in the purity of the Negro race and the purity of the white race. It is against rich blacks marrying poor whites. It believes in the social and political physical separation of all people to the extent that they promote their own ideals and civilization, with the privilege of trading and doing business with each other. It believes in the promotion of a strong and powerful Negro nation. EDITORIAL OPINION OF THE NEGRO PRESS There is probably no condition in the State of Virginia so sadly in need of reasonable and wise legislative reform, and which has been so perpetually ignored by reformers, welfare bureaus and health agencies, as that appertaining to child labor and the work of mothers on truck farms. Every legislative enactment of the State bearing on child and woman labor has directed its attention to this class of workers in industry, but not one has dared question the status of women and children in the state. The idea seems to so secrect to the life of the nation that the sacrifice of mothers and babies in its conduct is permissible—Norfolk Journal and Guide. Campaigns are opening and politicians are getting out their old promises made in the last election, shining them up and offering them to the voters as new. If asked why they haven't performed their avowed and pledged duty while in office they produce a convenient alibi, then plead that they be elected to do what they were elected the first time to accomplish. Especially are Negro voters fed up on this kind of piffle. But we are pleased to say Negro voters are showing signs of waking up. They are not held spellbound by the old line of what Abraham Lincoln did sixty years ago, but are demanding, that something new be done for them in this the year of our Lord nineteen twenty-four. The politicians are becoming alarmed and are making even more extravagant promises. But Negro voters are not carried away with this any more. They are asking the office-seeker to steady himself, take his time and promise something, first, that he knows he can do, and, second, something that if he does not do he can be held to strict accountability, "Promises," as such, are going out of style. "Your record" is the latest hit.-Floyd J. Calvin in the Pittsburgh Courier. Don't lose sight of the fact that it is your duty to build up your own enterprises; that "good timing" is not the salvation of our group. Put in some time in helping in things that will give us some standing in the commercial world—Oklahoma Eagle. The peculiar conditions brought about by migration from the South has created a new vision. The cry has gone out that we must safeguard our brother's interest if we must conserve our own. We are being driven to the first of our jungle instincts, and that is "protection of self." Arguments that the Negro will not accept leadership have long been thrown into the discard. He today is crying for the leadership that will lead him out of the maze of mischievous propaganda and political intrigue into the pure sunlight, where segregation, lynching and Jim Crowism will only be hateful memories—Omaha New Era. The fading color line is a sign to us to leave off the attitude of the suppliant and to take our place in the ranks of the pushing, striving citizenship who stretch forth their hands and take, literally take, the rights which are theirs. We cannot do that, using Civil War logic. The "bloody shirt" style of pe- world appears to be suffering unto death from right now—too much of the heart of The Rat of Torah, the father Abram of Ur of the Charles. The hearts of Man have the upper hand in the affairs of the world, and we shall have to suffer it to be so until the bearer has finished his job. When will that be? Yes. It is to guess. literal argument is an insult to citizens It is not a 1924 political argument to say, "Because I am your friend follow me." The fading color the inmates continue to disappear, and he is our emy who refuses to treat with us as he would with any other equal number of citizens.—Kansas City Call. I do not laugh at Sun Worshipers I am one of them. The sun purifies and recreates life. I recently heard the story of a blind man who went to sleep with the sun shining in his eyes—and when he awoke, behold the sky! The sun has a health giving influence over the body. It penetrates into the sleepy, tired nerves, wakes them up renews them and gives hopes and courage to the entire body. Baltimore Afro-American. Whatever and whenever they are put to the test, on sea or land, colored men will do their bit when danger looms in the offing—Boston Chronicle. Don't listen to the man who would tell you his troubles. Tell him you are busy. The pestelmatt avoids the busy man. Human derelicts naturally drift together on the sea of life. The old saying, "Laugh and the world laughs with you," is as true today as it ever was. The world has too many troubles of its own to listen. People don't like to hear a winner—Rocky Mount Volcano. That the Negro is capable of operating business enterprises of his own fully demonstrated by the number of successful colored business men of this city. In proportion to its Negro population it is doubtful if there is any city in this section, or in the country, for that matter, that surpasses it in this respect—Charleston (S. C.) Messenger. No man's character is really injured until he injures it by his own conduct.—Nashville Clarion. Some Negro papers are too sensational. It is all right to select such news as will appeal to readers, but readers must be lifted to a lofty plan so that they can get joy and inspiration from real progress, whether it be progress of white people or of black people. There is no good to come of coloring everything that comes from the other side, and there is no good to come of magnifying all the bad. It would be better if still reuses would leave some things out of their papers. To select the right kind of news is no easy task.—Tampa Bulletin. Most Concrete Organization The Negro People Have It cannot be disputed that the Universal Negro Improvement Association is the most concrete organization ever instituted among members of the race. If they could only see the adaptability of a Negro colony somewhere in the United States or Canada, what a monument they would build. The Negro problem would be far toward being solved. This is the only organization that could accomplish this result. The only criticism we have is that they believe in Africa. We believe in America. ig gigs ged Fy eggs far HE eek AS Zz . . i fae aa ri wf Ba te Se: gigs Ee se. betas: z 4 . ‘ a ; sil ees 8 is * ; ‘ .

Everybody. was agreed that it was the largest gathering: assembled in the building for many a day? In spite of the warm weather which made it.domewhat_ uncomfort-. able indoors, the crowd from a very early hour began to monopolize the seats, so that at 8:30, when the meeting commenced, every seat was.taken, the aisles were filled-with-standees-and-an overflow: con- gregation stood’at the doors and on the entire length of the side- _walk,in front of the buildings. Outside there were more than 5,000 people... Breede nee. 2 A large contingent of representatives of the’ white press was in evidence and aside from-performing their. official duties of taking notes of the proceedings, was as attentive and“enthusiastic ag the other members of the audience. . - : + At about 8.30 p. m., the meeting began, and the procession wended its way from the western end of the -hall towards the platform. It consiated of the choir, the executive officers and the various auxiliary. units such as the Legion,-the Royal Engineers, Black Cross nurses, Motor Corps and Juveniles. 2 The military exercises, which form'a very attractive and-enter- taining part of the program, were then executed. % The Hon. Marcus Garvey, President-General’ and Provisional President of Africa, opened the proceedinge-with the announcement of the opening hymn, in the singing of ‘which the corigregation heartily joined. Then the usual prayers were recited. a The Universal’ choir next opened the musical part of the program by the zendition of an anthem ‘entitled, “Gloria in Excelcis.” This was followed by a-quartet by the Harmony Four, who have clready gained -well deserved popularity by their effective rendition of good musical items. Mrs. H. Massy, a delegate from Detroit, sang sweetly to the tune of the “Last Rose of Summer,” an original con- tribution entitled “The Voice of Marcus-Garvey Calling.” She was very heartily appléuded. Madame Frazier Robinson was the next contributor and she acquitted. herself in her own inimitable style much to the appreciation of the.large audience.

Those to whom the messages were sent were: Hon. Calvin Coolidge, President of the United States; Rammay MacDonald, Premier of Great Britain; Sir Eric Drummond, Secretary of the League of Nations Premier Horlot of France, Baghdil Palad, Egyptian Ambassador to France and leader of the Nationalist Movement in Egypt; Hon.

Medical science progresses rapidly, and now you can get at your druggist's real, genuine cod liver oil, in sugar-coated tablets that young and old can take with ease and pleasure. Even the best brown and skinny grown-ups, who ought to take cod liver oil, because it really is the greatest vitamin food and builder of healthy flesh in the world, will feel extremely joyful when they read this welcome news. Of course, doctors have been prescribing cod liver oil in tablets under apothecary or government years, but it is only of late that they work into a drugstore and get a box of these flesh-producing tablets just as easy as a bottle of magnesin. Thin, run-down, anaemic men, women, and children, who need to grow strong and take on flesh are advised to get a box of McCoy's Cod Liver Oil Tablets, and if you don't gain 5 pounds in one month, you won't money back. One woman gained eight pounds five weeks, according to her own doctor — another ten pounds in three weeks. A verse, sickly child, aged nine, twelve pounds in seven months, and now plays with other children and has a good appetite. Just ask for McCoy's Cod Liver Oil Tablets, which good struggle will tell you. They are oddly fresh and health builders. Only sixty cents for 60 tablets.

A few solos were rendered, among which was a song dedicated to the late Prince Robert L. Poston, composed and sung by Mr. Ellenburg, President of the Gary (Kansas) Division of the U. N. I. A. Hon. Marcus Garvey, who presided as chairman of the meeting, then delivered a thirty minute speech, in which he gave a vivid outline of the purpose for which the convention was assembled, elaborating thereon with remarks germane to the program of the movement that created wild enthusiasm and evoked voiceless applause from the audience. Dr. J. J. Peters, president of the Chicago Division, and Bishop George McDulire delivered brief addresses, after which Mr. Garvey read the telegrams and cablages as drafted for translation to the Aspective powers. Before doing so, however, he emphasized the fact that this fathering of people represented thoroughly and completely the 400,000,000 Negroes of the world. "They were here not by appointment; every delegate who was present and would be during this convention was elected by the 400,000,000 Negroes of the world to represent, their interests, and as their representatives, we are sending these telegrams and cables out to the world expressing the feeling of those scattered millions. The telegram and cables were approved in toto, with acclamation by the gathering and on motion of Hon. William, L. Sherrill, seconded by Hon. G. E. Carter, authorized to be dispatched immediately. They are as follows: Hon. Calvin Coolidge, President United States, Washington, D.C. Will Your Excellency please accept the best wishes of the 400,000,000 Negroes of the world through us, their representatives, assembled in international convention? We mourn with you the loss of your son, but pray that you will be strengthened to carry on the great work of leading the American nation that now confronts you. We thank you and your race for the friendship, you have shown that portion of our people that forms a part of the nation, and hope that we may speedily arrive at some solution by which the two races may continue to live in peace with each other and become the guardians of liberty, human rights and real democracy. Fourth Annual International Convention Negro Peoples of the World. Ramsay MacDonald, Premier of Great Britain, 10 Downing Street, London. The 400,000,000 Negroes of the world send you greetings through our convention. We pray that you and your country will adopt a fair and honest attitude toward Africa and the Negro race. The Negro, like the Indian and Irish, desire unfettered nationhood, and we hope your government will realize that the time for African colonial exploitation has come to an end and a new era of justice to all men ushered in. We ask that you and your countrymen be fair and reasonable to the black race. Fourth Annual International Convention Negro Peoples of the World. MARCUS GARVEX Chairman. Sir Eric Drummond, Secretary-General League of Nations, Geneva, Switzerland.

The 400,000,000 Negroes of the world, through our convention, appeal to you and your people for justice. Will France not consider that the time has come to let Africa govern herself? We ask for the freedom of the blacks under your control, and that you be generous enough to help their welfare and self-government and not exploitation.

Borno, President of Haiti, Port-au-Prince, Haiti. We are in deep sympathy with the indignation of the people of Haiti in the matter of the rape of the country through a forcible occupation by an alien race.

Please convey to His Majesty the King and people of Italy our good-will and impress upon them that the 400,000,000 Negroes of the world through us are looking for a change of policy in your African colonial plans. We feel that the time has come for Italy to allow Africa to govern herself and be left alone and not be exploited by foreign races and nations. We treat that you will set a good example by getting your black colonies free. Fourth Annual International Convention Fourth Annual International Convention Negro Peoples of the World.

The thousands of delegates attending the opening of the Fourth Annual International Convention of Negro Peoplea of the World representing all sections of the Negro race, greet you as the head of the only independent black republic in Africa and trust that you will be so guided during your administration as to reflect the highest credit upon our people. We, the convention, view with alarm and surprise the statement that is circulated by internal and other enemies of our race and attributed to your Secretary of State as teaching discriminatory emigration to Liberia. We could not believe that, you, the head of a Negro State, could be responsible for doing anything that would tend to compel the spirit of love that the people of the Universal Negro Improvement Association have for you and your country and the effort that they are making to assist in making your nation the pride of the race and a credit to both our people. you live to do the right by our race. God gave you and your beloved country in the master of our convention. Universal Negro Improvement Association. Following are the speeches delivered at the meeting: HON. MARCUS GARVEY'S SPEECH Hon. Marcus Garvey spoke as follows: Follow Delegates and Deputies of the Fourth Annual International Convention of Negroes of the World: We are gathered here this afternoon for important business of state. We are here this afternoon to give expression of our feelings as touching the international outlook—the political outlook—as touching the interests of 400,000,000 Negroes whom we represent at this convention in session. We are here from all parts of the world; we are here from mother Africa, from South and Central America, from the West Indies, from Asia, from Europe and from the 48 States of the American Union. we are here not because it is a holiday—because it is a picnic; we are here not because of any desire to express or to give vent to our emotions, but we are here because we are charged with the duty and the responsibility of a race. We are here because 400,000,000 Negroes are determined to find a place for themselves in the world of men. (Applause.) We are here because of the grand and glorious idealism of Negro nationalism; we are here because we desire to constitute ourselves a part of the political arrangements of the world. We are here because we are determined to enter upon a task, a duty and responsibilities of empire building. We are here for what? We are here for the emancipation of 400,000,000 black souls; we are here for the purpose of redeeming 12,000,000 square miles of our motherland Africa. (Great applause.) And as touching that last and most important object—the redemption of Africa—we this afternoon are going to send our sentiment to the nations and races and governments of the world, especially those that are now interested in Africa. Africa the Covedted Prize of the World Africa, as you know, has become the coveted prize of the world, especially the Old World, the old bankrupt world of Europe, the old bankrupt world of Great Britain, bankrupt France, bankrupt Germany, bankrupt Italy and bankrupt Spain—they have all tried to rehabilitate themselves at the expense of 400,000,000 black men and their rights on the continent of Aprica, and we are here this afternoon to let them know that we are coming and we are rising. (Vociferous aplause.) We are coming and rising not only as 200,000 in New York; we are coming and rising not only as 15,000,000 Negroes in the United States of America, not only as 20,000,000 in the West Indian Islands or 15,000,000 in South and Central America, but we are coming as 400,000,000 Negroes the world over. (Uproarious aplause.) No Apology or Compromise We are coming without any apology and we are coming without any compromise; we are coming with a spiritual determination, Jesus Christ as our leader. We are coming with a political determination, the Universal Negro Improvement Association as our leader. We are coming with an industrial determination gathering together the sons and daughters of our race everywhere; and we are here for the month of August to let our sentiments be expressed, to give out to the world our desires and our wants. We are here as a part of a wounded world—a world still passing through labor; a world in which we must play our part. We have played important parts already in the history of this old world; we made it practically and gave it to others. When others were living in caves, running wild and barbarous we gave them a civilization that they have snatched away from us, and desire to deprive us of, but we are going to build a second and secater one. Negroes Will Build Another Civilization We are going to build a civilization on the banks of the Nile that shall never pass away until the Angel Gabriel blows his horn on the final day of judgment. We mean as Englishmen mean to strengthen the British Empire, we mean as Frenchmen mean to strengthen the French Empire; we mean as white Americans mean to strengthen the American Commonwealth; we mean to strengthen the African Empire and strengthen the banner of the Red, the Black, and the Green all over the world. (Applause.) We are men, we are no longer dogs and no longer monkeys. Darwin and Huxley and the rest of then, speculated about the character and the make up of the black man. For ages they said he was a monkey; then afterward they said he evolved to the point that his tail dropped off. Whether we were Hercules Hair Grower A wonderful company and greatly all in the world. We offer strong hair in large enough areas of the world and a LUXURIOUS experience of hair grown to each for oral treatment and ad- vancement services. The Taylor Hair Crew Co. Important Notice TO ALL MEMBERS, DIVISIONS, CHAPTERS AND BRANCHES OF THE UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSO- CIATION IN AMERICA The time has come to return to headquarters all signatures on petitions to be forwarded to the President of the United States and Congress asking for the creation of a Negro nation in Africa for the Negro. The petitions are now being prepared to be presented. Please send in immediately to Universal Negro Improvement Association, 56 West 135th Street, New York, all filled out and other petition sheets now in your possession. All members and Divisions that have money in hand for the Convention Fund are respectfully requested to forward same immediately to office of Secretary-General, Universal Negro Improvement Association, 56 West 135th Street, New York. By order PARENT BODY U. N. L. A. monkeys or not, we are full-sided men now. (Applause.) According to some of us all, of us were monkeys anyhow. We have white monkeys and black monkeys and brown monkeys (laughter), but we have all evolved now the standard of men, and as men each and every group is making its power and force felt. The white group is making itself felt in the world—and we don't envy them for it; it is their duty and obligation to themselves. It is the white man's duty to strengthen his outposts everywhere. It is the yellow man's duty to strengthen his outposts everywhere, and it is the black man's duty to strengthen his outposts everywhere (applause), and anybody who plants any bushes in our garden is going to get them routed up. Let the white man build his Europe since Columbus discovered it and gave it to him; but nobody ever discovered Africa; Africa discovered itself from the creation. They tell us that we must have a white America because a white man—Columbus—discovered it; they tell us we must have a white America, because the Pilgrim Fathers laid the foundation of its freedom and independence and its growth. They can not find any such argument to tell us about Africa, for Africa has an argument which is indisputable and which can not be gainsaid; an argument that it gave civilization already to the world when the rest of the world was in darkness. And the white man has been trying to hide that history for ever so long; but we are going to bring him to terms now. He has been writing all the books and placing them in the hands of everybody—from the Bible down to the latest edition of the New York American. (Laughter.) He has been writing everything and telling everybody to read and some of us like Dr. DuBois is reading without digesting. U. N. J. A. Advancing a New Theory The Universal Negro Improvement Association is advancing a new theory and a new thought—the Negro shall not swallow anything without digesting it first. We are going to give a new literature to the world, and we are going to write history over and tell the truth about it. We will not blame the white man for writing history as he goes it. It is everybody's duty to look out for himself. It is the white man's duty to gift us about a white God, a white Christ, white angels and a black hell and a black devil and black angels and it is the black man's duty to speak about a black heaven, a black God, a black Jesus and black angels. (Applause.) We are going to let the white man have America; we are going to let him have Europe, but we are going to have Africa, and we are going to let him have his part of heaven, too, with his white God if he wants it; we are going to have ours with our black God and if there is any heaven with only a white God there we are going to find a new one and have our black God there (laughter, and applause), because if we stay there too long we will have Jim Crowism and segregation. But we are not anticipating any heaven of that kind; we are only anticipating a broad and liberal heaven to hold all men of all races, of all climes and of all nations. To Consider Problems Confronting Us And so during this month we are going to seriously and soberly consider the propositions and the problems that confront us as a people and a race. We want our position clearly defined and understood. We are not assembled as rebels; we are not assembled as a disloyal group of people; we are not assembled as a race of people hating others. No, we are not preaching race hatred. We are preaching the broad brotherhood, the brotherhood of man and the Fatherhood of God. We mean that; we do not only preach it. We mean that, and we understand, too, that the application of that in a material age like this is that if one brother has anything and the other has not, the one who has does not know the other. And the Negro being the brother that has been an outcast for hundreds of years—realizing that we have been made the outcast because of our economic, temporal and material condition—we are going to alleviate that condition in a practical age like this. It can only be done with proper material and temporal progress. The Happy Reunion Golden Treatment Did It Wives, mothers, sisters. It is you that the man who drinks Whisker.

JAMES CRAIG. In the New York "Telegram-Mail" The common inheritance of freedom and equality may start all men from scratch in life's greatest handicap, but there appears to be a favored few who draw the choicest positions, and the easiest lanes in which to make the race. The clergyman's son, for instance, has 28 times the chance to succeed in proportion to the whole population as the son of the average man. The professional man's son has sixteen times the chance and the business man's son seven times the chance, while the farmer's boy and the unskilled laborer's must overcome extraordinary obstacles. The boy from a village has a better chance than the boy from either the farm or the city; the youth from one of the older Atlantic States is better off than one from the West, and the best chance of all is for a boy from New York or Massachusetts. Transposing the terms somewhat, the ideal formula of opportunity is to be the son of a clergyman, born in a village in New York and educated in a college of the liberal arts as distinguished from normal schools and technical institutions. Success, as the term is used herein, may mean something or nothing at all, according to the point of view. But it does mean notability, for the figures are based upon analysis of the data furnished by the 25,857 names in the 1924-25 "Who's Who in America." The studies were made by Professor Stephen B. Hulme of the University, and some others. Professor Vlahar gave special attention to the occupations and environments of the fathers of America's notables. He found many interesting things, not the least of which; perhaps, is that the farmer's boy has lost the pre-eminence he held at one period of the country's history. Taking 1870 as about the average birth year of the celebrities, he found that only about 5 per cent. of America's men at that time were business men. 2.3 per cent. were professional men. 23.5 per cent. were farmers. 18 per cent. were skilled laborers and 15 percent were unskilled laborers. But the sketches in "Who's Who" show that 35.2 per cent. of the fathers were business men. 34.3 per cent. were professional men. 23.4 per cent. were farmers. 6.3 per cent were skilled or semi-skilled laborers and 4 per cent were unskilled laborers. Figuring on a proportionate basis, therefore, he finds that the production of these notables was 30 times as great for skilled laborers as for unskilled. 70 times as great for farmers, 600 times as great for business men and 1,400 times as great for professional men. Professional men thus having been established as predominant in the production of notables, Professor Vishar made a still further inquiry, which revealed that the ministry leads all other professions. Of those in the list 11.1 described their fathers as ministers. Others described the parent as "preacher and farmer" but these were ruled out of the classification. Home Training Helped But, in 1870, only four-tenths of one per cent of the country's men were clergymen. About that year one Protestant clergyman in each 15 had a son who later won a place in "Who's Who in America." Hence, in proportion to their numbers, these clergymen contributed about 2,400 times as many 'ominent persons as did the unskilled laborers; 35 times as many as the farmers; four times as many as the business men and over twice as many as the average of other professional men. After discussing the ancient quarrel between the influence of environment and that of heredity, Professor Visher reaches the following conclusion: "On this basis of environment, the conditions revealed by the present study indicate not differences in ability, but instead differences in educational opportunities, encouragement and leisure for construction work. The high rank of clergymen may thus be due to superior opportunities along those lines, supplemented by helpful home training in serious thinking, thrift and expression." Conditions, he admits, have changed somewhat, and he thinks that the children of successful merchants and business men today will have about as much opportunity for education and self-employment as the children of professional men. This whole question of education is surprisingly emphatically another statistical study, whereby it is shown that college training has played a tremendous part in the lives of the men commonly called mountainters. In fact, out of the entire list, only fifty-six percent sons describe themselves as self-educated, and only 331 say they were privately educated. Of the total, 61.20 per cent. were graduates of universities or colleges giving degrees in the liberal arts. If West Point and Annapolis are added, the percentage is 63.67. Those who had some training in such colleges but were not necessarily graduates—makes-up 77.26 per cent. of the whole. There is a sharp drop for those who did-not go to college. Only 1.67 per cent. of the whole is made-up of persons who finished their education in normal and technical schools. Those who quit after the grade schools furnished 8.52 per cent., while those who quit after high school made 7.13 per cent. In proportion to the total population, small cities furnished 2.1 as many notables as the average for the nation; large cities 2.1 times as many, villages three times as many and rural sections only a third as many. That is to say, cities furnished six times as many as the farms and villages nine times as many. Geographically and in proportion to population, New York heads the list for notables furnished the nation, with Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa and Michigan following in the order named, Virginia, Missouri and Wisconsin, come next, with Connecticut, New Jersey and Maine following. These are the only States which have contributed 500 or more each. JAMES CRAIG. MONTANA, W. VA.

Needed Dental Clinic For Harlem Children The license necessary for the opening of the new Harlem Dental Clinic, which is to take place early in August at 202 West. 136th street, was today granted by the State Board of Charities to the New York Tuberculosis Association in behalf of the Harlem Tuberculosis Committee. The members of the North Harlem Dental Clinic Committee are working in close cooperation with the Tuberculosis Committee, and have generously volunteered their services toward this much-needed work. Indeed, these dentists have already been giving free care to children unable to pay, but the number of little patients seeking such help has increased so rapidly that it has been found impossible to treat them all at the private offices. Hence, one of the reasons for Harlem's new dental clinic. The Urban League has donated the space at 202 West 136th street, where the clinic is to be held. The proceeds from a dance given by the North Harlem Dental Clinic Committee in May at Laurel Garden Hall has gone toward this work. The Harlem Tuberculosis Committee is "taking charge," and will assume the burden of running expenses. Where it is at all possible for the child to pay, a fee of 25 cents will be charged for the first visit, and 10 cents thereafter. If there is any little one, however, who finds the nominal fee impossible, service will be given without any cost to the small patient. The dental hygienists, from Public Schools 5 and 88 have referred many children to the new clinic. The Harlem Tuberculosis Committee has a long list of applicants ready, from nutrition classes, etc. Any school child, unable to afford the services of a private dentist, will be eligible for treatment. No longer need the boys and girls of Harlem suffer with bad teeth just because money is not available with which to pay the dentist. Decaying tooth throw poison into the system and tend to undermine the general health of the child. This leads very easily into malnutrition, and sometimes goes one step further into tuberculosis. The members of the North Harlem Dental Clinic, Committee, who are so kindly tendering their services, are: Dr. L. H. Falklauchen, Dr. C. Norman, Dr. Brandon, Dr. W. I. Cummings, Dr. Lolee Cortez, Dr. B. Golymore, Dr. K. McDonnell, Dr. J. B. Delaney, Dr. G. V. Beeth, Dr. Adolph Berger and Dr. Joseph Joffe of Vanderbilt Clinic will act as consulting dentists. Persons wishing any further information are cordially invited to visit the office of the Harlem Tuberculosis Committee at 382 West 19th street, or telephone Broadway 396. BRY A NEWSON REV. A.

Reid, Los Angeles Clarita Chapter, Bocas del Toro It is great good luck that the Dragon is dead painful for their father is dead. Palmer Cox, creator of the mischievous, honeest little elfs, who are never cruel and never, repeat a prank and who have amused millions of children, died on July 24 at his home, Brownie Castle, at Granby, near Queens, at the age of eight-four. Though he was a bachelor, Brownie Castle is an enormous frame house of many rooms. Children from anywhere were always welcome there, and he had many visitors. Over a million copies of his Brownie Castle have been sold, and the eleventh Company now carries on its list Cox titles, all of which call for frequent reprintings. If addition to his books, he achieved a Brownie play in three acts which was extremely successful. Like William De Morgan, he was almost an old man before he made his first great success. Most of his life before that was the career of a misfit—an artist trying desperately to force himself into business. But fame and fortune did finally come to him, and came as the result of work that he loved. His life reads a good deal like that of his fairy tale; he, a giant of over six feet, was rescued and placed in a position of happiness by the tiny Brownies. And he was always loyal to them, never made them do shabby things, but made them proud. Born in Granby, Province of Quebec, Canada, in a Scotch community, of Scotch parentage, in 1840, he dutifully got through the local schools, including an academy, and set out to make his way in the world. His fingers wanted to draw, but the prospect was not promising. He had no art training he was compelled to make his own living, and North America fifty years ago He was a day in known, going carpentry and probably probably painting might be offered to a young giant with no money, no preparation and no influence. But somebody with eyes Old see some things he drew and told him to study. He attended some sort of art classes at night, and after a while he was doing cartoons and educational rymes for Western newspapers, freaks a volunteer and then as a salarial man. He jumped from coast to coast and set himself up in New York an illustrator, doing funny pictures for other people's text. He used the first Brownies-only a few of them—for that purpose. But here, he knew, was something distinctive, and he wanted to develop it as his line. St. Nicholas the magazine that has carried the first work of so many artists and writers encouraged him to do his own rhyme to accompany his own pictures. The success of the Brownies was instant. They captured the world first from the pages of St. Nicholas and then from his books, which followed at intervals for over thirty years. Palmer Cox was a moralist unashamed... He taught morals to children while he amused them. He had a definite code of conduct: for his Brownies. The old laughmaker in his later years, as he saw the comic strip gaining popularity so fast, regretted that too often the juvenile characters were made to do cruel and abusive things to get a laugh. "No Brownies would ever do that," he said often while he followed the antics of some barbous, little moron in a low-class comic strip. EUROPEANS MAKE ALL THE PROFITS IN EAST-AFRICA In a letter to the circulation manager of The Negro World a friend residing in Nigeria, West Africa, has the following to say about conditions in that rich country: "Nigeria is a great country, a big country, with a population of over 250,000,000 native Africans, as against 4,000 European whites, and that, 4,000 with the Government behind them, dominate the whole country. Whatever they say goes; therefore the natives are powerless in the matter of self-reliance. They cannot do any big thing on their own initiative. When it comes to ordering any merchandise, from foreign ports they can only do small business, and whatever business they are in they will get their goods from an agent in Nigeria at whatever price they feel like selling. "Every European merchant in Europe has an agent in Nigeria. They monopolise the whole country in bringing and taking from this place. The Government and European business men pay the natives very low wages in comparison to the whites. The most illiterate white man over here gets at least £625 per annum, while the most educated native with letters behind his name gets about half or two-thirds of that amount. "Nigeria is very rich, but the white man gets all the benefit now. Right in Lagos harbor there are at least six or eight ships loading every day and night with products of all kinds for Europe. I mean all the year round. And the native man does not know what is being done with this produce. As a friend has admitted to me, they only see it go, and that's all."

All branches and chaptérs of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and: all other organizations, societies and churches are invited to attend the convention and to take fart in its. penegal- discussions. Delegates, as usual, avill be coming from Africa, Europe, ‘Attia; '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) several of the prominent white leaders of Amer- fca will speak to the delegates, We are expecting the presence of several Senators, Uangressnten, aud leaders in American ptiblic.ife and education. | oo ¢ 7 NEGRO POLITICAL UNION eo - Among *he important itenis-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 iskinds of the seas and in all cofimonities where the Negra forms a part. ‘The Political’Unien shall represent the political hopes and aspirations of the fifteen million. Negroes of the United States’ of America on . American.questions, domestié to, America; and shall represent the interests of the millions of Negroes of-the West Indies in their different and respective islands alfceting démestic polifical questions, and so alséin the-scattered communities of. ‘Africa, ‘The union shall have a sympathetic relationship politically, with Negroes all aver the world, but cach country or community will have its own domestic pro- gam for the betterment -of the rice, 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 Amer- ; ia were, politically agitating or working for the passage of any special measure for ‘the henetit of the race, the entire strength of the union wayld be placed at the dis: posal of the Amefican section, If the Negroes of Trini dest irry out any political measure for the henesit of that community, the union would use its strength in assisting them, and se with any community where the Negroes live through- ont the world, No longer, therefore, will individual politicians represent-the inter- ests of the Negroes, but the Negrocs unitedly will be represented by the Negro Political Union. Let us all. therefore, werk for the st ceessful consummation of the program of the Universit Negro Improvement Association,-so that we may be able to glory ina brighter day industrially, commercially, socially, religionsly and politically. - y Ephraim: cliss -HI—Abtela Akiwumt, Manoel Da Costa, Felix Olatunde Vin- cent, Hindy and Mohammedan Lew, class HL, Axuque Etim Tnyang Final, class IL, sixtie in order of merit, Asito Egbo; class (11, in alphabetteat order, Salako Ambrocius Renka-Coker, Dan- fel Ekanem Esin, and Adegunie Kas- umu.

SumD ranger Important Notice disharmed the black community by the impersonation that bound the black community to the oppression brought upon me and forced glamour. Look Again I mourn the poor mother in the Tampa Bay New York, but I was so lonely then as I was now. I was still hope by the will strength that I had always found and expelled return benefits, but I am so ready now to go back to my home and find you to have you. The jail does not make a criminal, the criminal makes bigish. There are more criminals out of jail than in jail, the only difference in that the majority of those who are put are such shifty criminals that they know how to keep themselves out. They have tried to ignore my name as so as to prevent me from the good that I desire to do in the interest of the race. It amuses me sometimes to hear the biggest crooks in the Negro race referring to me as a criminal. As I have said before, Negro race knows are the biggest crooks in the world. It is because of the chopping that they have not made more perverse. If you think I am not telling the truth in this direction you may quix or quix any of the white political bosses, and those who will tell the truth will reveal a tale most shocking as far as our Negro leaders are concerned. This is true of the group of fellows of our race that lead universally as well as nationally. They will sell the souls of their mothers and their country into perdition. That is why the Universal Negro Improvement Association has to make such a fight, and that is why the opposition is as hard and marked. You can pay the Negro leader to hang his race and block the souls of self-help that he not commonly so earnestly earn. You must give credit to the great white race, to the extent that they will fight among themselves, that they will cheat each other in business, but when it approaches the future and destiny of the nation, it must immediately called. Not so with the Negro, he does not know and where to stop in hurting himself. Reorganizing the Race I repeat that we -must reorganize ourselves as a people if we are to go forward, and I take this opportunity as you assemble yourselves here from all parts of the world to sound the warning: note. To prepare the work of our association for the past two years, is to account the exploite of a continuous struggle to reach the top. Our organization has been tested during the past two years beyond that of any other period in the history of Negroes. I am glad to say, however, that we have been able to harbor and all the handicaps placed in the way. Some of our enemies thought that our would have been able to retain our movement when I was convicted and sentenced to prison. They had depended upon that as the trump card in their effort to crush the new spirit of freedom among Negroes, but like all such efforts, it was doomed to failure. I will bring to memory a similar effort made a little earlier in the war when qa Calypso's mount the Jews, after insisting the Romans, attempted to crucify the man, Christ, the leader of the Christian religion. They thought that after the crucifixion, after He was buried, that they would have silenced the principles of Christianity forever, but how successful they were is made manifest today when we find hundreds of millions of principles for which the man died of Calypso's cross. As in the rise of Christianity, no do we have the spiritual rise of the Universal Negro Improvement Association throughout the world. They tried to crucify it in America, and it has risen in Africa a thousand fold. They tried to crucify it in the American continent, and it is now sweeping the whole world. cannot crucify a principle; you cannot crucify it; you cannot imprison it; you cannot bury it. It will rise like the spirit of the Great Redeemer and take its fight down the ages, until men far and One of the Universal League Improvement Association are stronger today than we ever were before. We are stronger in being strong, strong in determination; we are more in every direction; we are more in facing the world determined to serve out and find a place for the four hundred millions of our suffering people. We call upon humanity everywhere to listen to the cry of the new Negra. We ask the human world to help us. Africa's sun cannot be downed. Africa's sun is rising, gradually rising, and soon he shall take his place among the brilliant constellations of nations. The Negro wants a nation; nothing less, nothing more. And why shouldn't we be nationally free, nationally independent, nationally unfettered? We want a similar nationality to that of the English, the French, the Italian, the German, to that of the white American, to that of the yellow Japanese; to that of the black African government. We can realize that the American in a short will not be large enough to accommodate two competitive rivals, one black and the other white. Black Man's Aspirations There is no doubt about it that the black man of America today aspires to the White House, to the Cabinet, and to the Senate and the House. He aspires to be head of State and municipal governments. What are you going to do with him? He cannot be satisfied in the midst of a majority group that seeks to protect its interest at all hazards; then the only alternative is to give the Negro a place of his own. That is why we appeal to the sober white minds of America and not the selfish ones. The selfish ones will see something more than the immediate present will see the result thinking white man will see the result fifty or one hundred people, when the people will be brought together in closer contact of rivalry. As races we practically represent a similar intelligence today. We have graduated out of and, passed through the same schools, colleges and universities. What can you do with men who are equally and competently fitted in mind but give them an equal chance? And if there is no chance of equality there must be dissatisfaction on the one hand. That dissatisfaction we have in our midst now. We have it manifested by W. E. B. Dixholz, by James Weldon Johnson; we have it manifested by the organization known as the NAACP Association for the Advancement of Colored People, that seeks to bring about equality and political equality and individual equality, things that are guaranteed under the Constitution, but, whichever, in the majority race, we cannot demand a cause of the terrible odds against us. In the midst of this, then, what can we do but seek an outlet of our own, unless we intend to fight a losing game? Reason will dictate; there is no benefit to be derived from fighting always a losing game. We will lose until we have completely lost our stand in America. The Period of Self-Protection To repeat myself, we 'talk about progress. What progress we have made when everything we do is done through the good will and grace of the liberal white man of the present day?' But can he always afford to be liberal? Do you not realize that in another few decades he will have on his hands a problem of his own—a problem to feed his own children, to take care of his own flesh and blood? In the midst of that crisis, when he finds not even enough to feed himself, what will become of the Negro? The Negro nation will be able to give way and make room for others to live better prepared to live. That is the better men and that is why we have the Universal Negro Improvement Association. The condition that I have referred to will not only be true of America and of Continental Europe; it will be true wherever the great white race lives. There will not be room enough for them and for others who seek with Ability to ProtSet Self Race and people are only safe guarded when they are strong enough to protect themselves, and that is why we appeal to the four hundred million Negroes of the world to come together for self-protection and self-preservation. We do not want what belongs to the great white race or the yellow race. We want only those things that belong to the black race. Africa is ours. To win Africa we will give up America; we will give up our claims in all other parts of the world; but we must have Africa. We will give up the vain desire of having a seat in the White House in America, of having a seat in the House of Lords in England, of being President of France for the chance and opportunity of filling these positions in a country of our own. That is how the Universal Negro Improvement Association differs from other organizations. Other organizations, especially in America, are fighting for a political equality which they believe is the face of a majority opposition. We win so much today and lose so much tomorrow. We will lose our political strength in the North in another few years, as we lost it in the South during reconstruction. We fill one position today, but lose two tomorrow, and we have been completely obliterated from Western civilization. Changes Among Negroes gold, and we are many, many gauding that claim to the throne of white justice. We are told that God's throne is white, although we believe it to be black. But if it is white, we are placing our plan before that throne of God, asking him to so break the humble of age and history that things that are pure, or it was right to yield to Caesar the thing that were Caesar's. Let Us Be Fair As we deliberate on the many problems confronting us during the month of August, let us not lose control of ourselves; let us not forget that we are the guardians of our, hundred millions; let us not forget that it is our duty to so act and legislate as to help humanity everywhere, whether it be black or white. We shall be called upon during this month to take our certain matters that are grave, but dispassionately we shall discuss them; and whenever the interest of the different race groups clash, let it be our duty to take the other fellow's feelings into our consideration. If we must be justly treated, then we ourselves must treat all men similarly. So, let our prejudice cause us to say or do whatever we want, and let white man, or the yellow man; let us realize that the white man has the right to live, the yellow man has the right to live, and all that we desire to do is to impress them with the fact that we also have he right to live. (Applause.) Flattery Is Easy At this moment I want to pass from my set speech. Let me further explain. We of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, as I stated before, have no desire to flatter the people. It could have been pleasant and easy for me to come here tonight and tell you, recount to you the progress that we have made in America, the progress that we have made in the West Indies and in the Western World. But, men when we so nicely come to consider the question of our progress, when we come to consider the problem in this country and in the world today, when we come to consider that men everywhere wrestling for the possession of the survival of the fittest, you will also realize that this is no time to flatter 400,000,000 Negroes. I could come here tonight and paint to your roses pictures of the future of America, where the Negro is concerned. I could paint to you the day when some Negro from this community would become Senator for the senatorial district of New York. I could paint to you a rosa picture of 10, 20, 50 years from now the Negro becoming Secretary of State or a member of the this great country. But it would be will a dream and we of the Universal Negro Improvement Association are not wagging our time dreaming for the impossible. We are dreaming, yes, but we are dreaming for the possible; we are dreaming for the possibility, of an African nation, one and indivisible. Struggle Between the Races "We can see the day, and not far distant, in America, just another fifty years, another one hundred years, where there is going to be, a titanic struggle between the competitive races that have their domicile in this country, especially where the line is so suddenly drawn as between black and white. I speak in that way. Because I can see, when white men in an overcrowded population, in an overcrowded nation are facing the bread-line of starvation, when there will not be enough for themselves economically and industrially, when it will be the duty and responsibility of every race and every people to root for themselves. That is why the period comes in the life of the American Negro, is where the danger zone comes in the life of the western Negro. What do you think the great nations of Europe and of America are building battleships for? What do you think they are training and preparing big armies for? For the titanic struggle for the survival of the fittest. Somebody is bound to die in the world in another 100 years, 200 years, 300 years to make room. The man who cannot defend himself is the man who is bound Alphonse. And because we of the United States Improvement Association want the Negev to decide that is why we are preparing him for nationhood in Africa so that he can stand firm in his creation that God Almighty has given us and enjoy its beauties and its benefits co-equal with the rest of God's people. Marcus Garvey and Jail Marcus Garvey and Jail We have been brutally criticized, we have been brutally, condemned, we have been brutally and wickedly harassed by narrow-minded, selfish men and women within our ranks. I am here tonight to blame the white man for what happened to me or the Universal War Improvement Association. It was the war that caused Marcus Garvey to jail. It was the white man's duty to get rid of Marcus Garvey. It was the white man's duty to send Marcus Garvey to hell as quickly as they could get him there because it was a fight for existence between people. But the individual I cannot forget, the individual I can not forgive, the individual I can not understand the Negro himself who constitutes himself a stumbling block in his own progress. It is natural that the white man would want to send Marcus Garvey to jail for five years to prevent Marcus Garvey landing 400,000 Negroes to a free and redeemed Africa, because white men have their eyes on the goldfields, on the diamond Bale, on the radium deposits, the lion deposits of Africa. A white jury and a white judge, because we would not only send Marcus Garvey Leavenworth, but to jail. And I don't blame them for doing it. I am reasonable to say that and feel it. If I were a white man, I would send everything to hell that did not look like me that stood in the path of my program and since I am not Chinese, since I am not Japanese, since I am not Turk, I am going to send everything to hell that stands in the way of 400,000 Negroes. (Applesauce.) I was in jail last August. I am apply to go back to jail or call for the Universal Negro Improvement Association. (Agreement) Some men make a big note about jail. Every time they write about the Universal Negro Improvement Association they my Narrator, Slover was sentenced to jail and of all men, his newspaper, he let go to jail. Now you tell him that we do not do a whole thing and we do a whole thing jail. Now Gayrury does not give a damn about jail, when it comes to the announcement of $40,000,000. Niggers. (Agreement.) Can Not Impress Liberty As I am constituted, as I am made up at this hour I am prepared to make the supreme sacrilege for the salvation of this generation of Negroes and those that shall follow. I am willing to make the sacrifice that Robert Emmet gives peace to the Negroes and am willing to make the sacrifice that McSwiny made for a free and independent Ireland. I am willing to make the same sacrifice that Gandhi made and is willing to make for a free and independent India. (Applause.) The jail can not encase the real spirit of liberty. Didn't they try to imprison the spirit of Egyptian liberty by imprisoning them and sending him into exile. And when after a few years? The English have found out that they could not exile Egyptian freedom and Egyptian liberty; they had to bring back from exile Zergui Peaha, and he is today Premier of an independent Egypt. They tried to imprison the spirit of liberty in India by sending Gandhi to jail for six years, and the English, after two years, sent the Indian lord and the Englishman is the most handsome fool the world has ever seen. The English have been handling peoples, handling races and nations for hundreds and hundreds of years, and up to now they are playing the fool, but if they continue to play the darned, fool with 400,000,000 Negroes (applause) the sahes of Rome will be nothing to be compared with the sahes of England in another few years if they continue to play the damned fool with 400,000,000 Negroes. Let them send Marcus Garric to jail or to prison now; Marcus Garric will be sent to prison or jail; he will continue to inspire until he has won the cause of liberty. Jail and prison. The jail does not make a prisoner; the jail does not make a criminal; the man makes himself what he wants to be. You all, know how Marcus Garvey went to jail. He was sent to jail because of the machinations of those Negro politicians who wanted to destroy my influence in Harlem and in Chicago, and to destroy the Universal Negro Improvement Association. The Universal Negro Improvement Association is here to live and is willing to be crucified even as the principles of Christianity were crucified on Calvary's Mount over 1,900 years ago. So are we willing to have the principles of the Universal Improvement Association crucified even as Garvey is the first to face the crucification he is ready at any hour. "Somebody Must Die" Men. I speak this way because I feel this way. The world may try to fool others, but the world cannot fool Marcus Garvey. (Applause). The world cannot hand Marcus Garvey a thousand dollars, ten thousand dollars, one million dollars and tell Marcus Garvey it is all right for you and the rest of the race, because I know it is not I know the world is preparing that somebody must die. That is what I know. And the world is not going to tell you that openly; you have to find that out. For yourselves. We have found that you can take such a stand now. Somebody will in another 200, 300 or 500 years to make room for the strong majority that must survive, and if You Negroes don't look out in the 20th century, you are dead, dead as a hit in the 21st century. Do you understand what I mean? I mean this: In another 200, 300 years there will not be room in this world for everybody; there will not be enough food in the world for everybody. From a common sense point of view, if half a dozen men live in this house and the regular supply of food is enough for everybody and after that, or a month it threatens that the people will not be enough food for everybody, but only suffice for it means this, that those three who have developed sufficient muscle power to resist successfully when the scramble comes, those three will survive and the rest will go down. The other three will have to starve. That is a common sense portrait of what I have in mind. In another 200 or 300 years the overpopulated will be so highly strong and competitive there for everybody, and the stronger, forces wrest what they want from the weaker forces. That is why Japan is preparing: that is why China is preparing: that is why Marcus Garvey is raising the cry of emancipation for 400,000 black men and that of a free and independent Africa. (Applause). And if you Negroes sit down in America, in the western world, and refuse to give moral, cultural, educational, scientific and financial help to the native Africans so that they may successfully re-enter the penetration by an alien world, so that they may preserve their country, if you sit here superimply by and through France, Italy, Spain, Portugal and Belgium, it is only a question of another 25 years when Africa will be another white men's country and sphere of influence. If you adopted Negroes refuse to set new, Africa, in another 20 years, is going to be what America will now. If Negroes sit down in this century and generation and do not set another 100 years if you find 2,000 Negroes in Africa you will be rather fortunate. The North American Indian Do you know what has become of the North, American Indian? The people who were so successful here With the help of the, Shahbaz has been worked with universities, their students with the dept. and the few who survive, we will on reservations in Ghana. If you don't know me, you will be on the campus as an servant for a career build in our city. "Those people level 200 years ago, and on June in Nairobi Survey Show, we long the power of our people, are here as there in a God and a Crit- acter, the world will be a Christian, with the principles of the Universal Government Association. (Ar- varius) I may say the world I am willing to throw myself into the faws of death into the furnace of hell for the salvation of the race of ours, as I see it. And it are fair and honest to the point that I will not neglect the white man do for me just I should do for my self. I would be crazy to believe that Calvin Coolidge would get, out of the White House and give me the position when he no badly want it. I would be a big fool to believe that Alfred Smith will get out of Albany and set it free. And I would be the man that Mr. Hylan will vacate the mayoralty and give it to me. And any Negro who foesdes that hope is a daydreamer and a sky-gazer. That is what Du Bais is trying to tell us, that the time is coming, through the N. A. A. C. P., when the Negro will be governor of the State of New York, when a Negro will be an occupant of the White House. That Negro is only making up the minds of white folks to kill all the Negroes here. What white men in America, do you think, would stand for a Negro being President, for a Negro being Governor of the State of New York, for a Negro who find white men will go on to the platform and say: "You know, I believe the Negro should be Governor of the State of New York, President of the nation." You will find white men such as the white men leading the N. A. A. C. P. willing to say that, but sometimes men play the fool to become wise. One of these white men who talk about social equality means it and could mean it. He would be a traitor to his race. You tell me that Moorefield Store believes in social equality. I would like to engage with store owners and marry her new week. And but you that in spite of all Moorefield Store's professions, when my proposal reaches his drawing room he will get the same spirit as the cracker down in Georgia. Knowing that, theresfore, whom can they fool? They will fool everybody else but Marcus Garvey. Faulish to Expect It is unnatural, it is unreasonable to expect white men to deprive themselves of the things they want and give them to someone else. It is unnatural and foolish to expect yellow men to do the game, and any Negro who entertains such hopes is crazy and looking for life in the New Jerusalem, which is not now. If you were white you would not do it. If I were a white man do you think I would desert my family and see them survive and give it to you? And that is why. I consider the past two generations of whites as being helpful, because they do what they would do to do now, what they would not do in the next generation. If you Negroes continue to depend upon the good will of the white man you will find yourself starving in another 25 or 50 years. Now, listen! while I tell you of some of the statements of some white men that they do not usually publish. If you Negroes do not look out there will be more Negroes dead in the next ten or twenty years without a rope around their necks, without a shot being fired at them, than died within the last 500 years even under the brutal institution of slavery. The Negro is so dependent on his father that he death in thirty days. There is a peculiar disease coming now that is going to be peculiar to Negroes algee. Remember, you are living in a highly strung and organized age—a scientific age. You must have heard of the sleeping sickness, the cholera and the flu, and all those different epidemics. Now let me tell you that a certain disease is coming later on that is going to be peculiar only to Negroes. That disease is starvation and it suggests a peculiar movement of the bowels. They are going to find food in the Greek name. When men cannot find work, what happens to them? If they have no earning, no purchasing power what will happen to them in an organized age like this? If you cannot purchase your flour, sugar, tea, coffee, your potatoes and your pork chops, you know what, is going to happen. What Shipa Suggest Negroes, take my advice. This is going to happen perhaps in another ten twenty, or perhaps fifty years if you do not look out now by making a powerful industrial position. You will be helplessly dead. Do you know why I was indicted and incarcerated? If it because we attempted to float the Black Star Line? It was not the question of the mail-it was the purchase of the boat. Do you know what ships the government was promoting to suggest the promotion of industry, the carrying on of commerce. And any race that is powerful today, any race that has ever been powerful in human history, was a race that had, r. strong commercial and industrial background. Take that away from England, and the great British empire falls. Take that away from America, and our nation falls. When the Negro through the U. N. I. A. was about to constitute him, the government was power in the world those forces combined against me to make it an impossibility. But men, you must not count ourselves as they appear. We did not fall in the Black Star Line; that is why I can be happy. The Black Star Line was a means, an avenue to connect the birth and hearts and minds of millions of black men and women the world over. And to help them, we must brighten, and most help African men brighten, and most help African women brighten, and most help brighten Through the Black Star Line, the value of his commodities and we will give their support and encouragement from some of the most famous birth homes and private schools of Europe. They were joined by U. N. I. A. with almost all the support the new president has to deliver a rosary and Garvey's policies and the white and black schools and popular, Mr. White, take up the business your own business. The British government and the Apprentices. Your Baptist and Harvons who have been sent to the Court of the James did not they down budge the British King for British social message? It is not a fact that our millionaires spend their fortunes to buy tiled in England and Germany? They what in hell are you talking about? You talk about Garvey wearing red robes, etc. Before you talk about red robes go and tell the Archbishop, and the Pope to take off their purple and red robes. They talk about Garvey's gold braids. Didn't you be King George the other day in his gold braids, fuse up like a woman? They would be wearing red robes. The Garvey will take off his uniforms as Provisional President of Africa. Gentlemen, you cannot put over your stuff that way. You have to come clean. You put it over our father's 50 or 100 years age because they did not know better. You cannot put it over the present generation because we have passed through the same high schools, the same colleges and universities, and have read the same textbooks of political and economic science. Talk about Garvey and his royality, tell King, George to get rid of his royalty and then we will consider getting rid of ours. Their royalty served a purpose. For hundreds of years the royalty of England served the purpose of inspiring Englishmen to national and racial patriotism, upon which the British Empire was built. We are going to try this, and when we succeed in cultivating these sentiments in our people we may think otherwise. England did not start off with a democracy, with a labor government. The British Empire did not start that way. They had to train the minds of the people before they let them booze. If we do not look out, the people will destroy American institutions, because we have no ideal of the people, and those ideals here the ideals' of patriotism, the ideals of nobility, the ideals of character, some of the men who are gambling in Wall Street would not be doing so. But because there is no other ideal to inspire them to build up character, they make the dollar the mark, and that is why Morgan' gambles with the finances of the people of the country, at the same time calling Garvey a crook, saying he has robbed' his people. You talk of the wealth of Morgan. Where in hell did 'Morgan' get the money from the poor people who put their' money' in his banks, with which he gambles. 'Man,' there are more things in heaven and earth than are dream of in man's philosophy." I won't tell you everything about what I go back to jail. I will have time to write many things. My firm purpose, my one purpose in life, is to work for the salvation of my race. Because of the cries from the grave—I hear the cry of 300 years, the cry of my great-grandparents in the cotton fields, and in the cane fields. I see the hard taskmaster drawing his lash across their backs; I hear them cry out in mortal agony: "I pains; I baints; I baints!" I see them fall under the lash: I see them fall to the ground; I see them buried, and I hear the, waiting souls from heaven and from the regions below. I hear the cry of my mother and father and of the millions of Negroes who have been brutalized: "Go on, Garvey! Go on, Go on!" And so, gentlemen, because of that cry that comes from the grave, I have given up all material desires; I have given up all technical pleasures and have dedicated myself to the sacred principles of the U. N. I. A. the emancipation of the Negro race, and a free and redeemed Africa. (Applause.) Do not misunderstand me. It may not come today; it may not come tomorrow; it may not come for five, ten, twenty or fifty years from now. But sooner or later it will come to those who desire liberty. With the rest of the members of the historic words of Patrick Henry; "I care not what others may say, but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death." Not Attacking Others Do not misunderstand me as we ap- stake ourselves. Do not misunder- stand me to believe that I am making an attack on the white man or the black man. I am not. I am not inter- tested outside of the Negro race, excep- t where a larger humanity comes in, and we know to what extent that comes in now. The larger humanity will cause a man to give to the other fellow that which he does not want im- mediately. That, is his limit. There is no Jesus in the world now outside of the Jesus who is in heaven. Jesus does not walk around now. Why a cop would arrest him if he attempted to. We are living in a highly strung, or, I may say, a barbarous age, when men grample for that which they want just as the lion would go out and devour the sheep or to satisfy its appetite. That is why we move slaves for 300 years; that is why now we are industrial and economic slaves. And so I want you to understand that my purpose in life is for the higher idealism of the black man, which you will realize when you attend the convention from Monday for 31 days and nights. I thank you for the support you have given the association for the past six years, and especially for your, when they tried to honorize me and reward me here to do something. Today the U. M. L. A. accepts a volunteer amount the races and nations of the world, and tonight, as you contribute to the fund, I agree repent my thesis and appreciation. God bless you. (Lord and protegued applause.) SECCIÓN EN ESPAÑOL or La Asociación Universal para el Adelante de la Buen Nogra 54-58 Oeste, Calle 18X, Ciudad de Nueva York, N. Y. PADR. M. A. PUJERONA RAYO Apertura de la cuarta convención internacional de nuestro paciente—Programa del primer de aquertó—La vez de nuestra raza se dejará escuchar alrededor del mundo— Espíendida representación universal—Nuestro movimiento adelanta en su camino apesar de la labor malefica de los enemigos de la organización Grutas impresciones de viaje El terror, presidencia general de nuestra organización, honorable Redolph Smith, acompañado de su señora sopa, recorrido la República de Cuba visitando las divisiones de la Habana; Morón, Ciego de Avila, Florida, Camaghey, Bardez, Santiago, Guantánamo y Jatibonico, regresando a la Habana de donde parte el 30 del país para su cuartel general en esta ciudad. En cada ciudad y División que visitó fué recibido galantemente por los hijos de胺uelo patrio y otros miembros de esta organización. El gobierno de la provincia de Camagüey dio la bienvenida a nuestro ilustre huesped en la División de Camagüey, e hizo grandes elogios de la labor de la Asociación Universal, para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra, manifestando además que daria la la organización toda oportunidad para celebrar sus manifestaciones publicas. Fué digno de grandes aplausos y su discurso fué interpretado en ingles para satisfacción de todos los concurrentes. A su entrada y a su salida del local, el gobierno fué escortado por una comisión de las auxiliares de la División, en compañía del honorable Fiscal de胺uelo distrito. El primero de agosto, día en que abrió sus puertas el Liberty Hall de esta ciudad a la cuarta convención internacional de los pueblos negros del universo, ha sido un gran día de jubilo para nuestra organización y una fecha de recuerdo impercederó para la historia de nuestra raza. A las diez de la mañana se reunieron en el local, gallardamente decorado, todas las representaciones, oficiales y miembros de la organización, para celebrar los servicios religiosos, apertura del gran conclave; a la una del día partido de nuestro cuartel general la gran parada, en la cual desfilaron los centenares de presentaciones de nuestras divisiones, y a las ocho, de la noche se llevó a cabo, en uno, de los puntos mas centricos de la ciudad, la gran recepción a la que asistió lo mas seleto de nuestro elemento. A su regreso a la ciudad de la Habana, el honorable Smith fue presentado a un gran número de cubanos prominentes en el Cuban Tennis Club. Debemos dar especial, mensión a la amabilidad de la Dra Consuelo A. Serra, profesora de inglés por oposición de la Escuela Normal de la Habana, quien tradujó en esabaló uno de sus discursos. Los delegados y representantes estan encarriados ya en la labor que les ha sido encomendada y el mundo civilizado dirije sus miras hacia el Liberty Hall de la ciudad de Nueva York, sitio donde celebra su cuarta convención internacional la representación de los cuatrocientos millones del elemento de nuestra raza. Juzgando por la expresión del nuevo sentimiento del negro del presente, en un mundo que ha sido agitado extremadamente por las razas y por las naciones en persecusión de seguridad y de protección, la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra ha convocado a la representación de la raza, para que decida de una vez y para siempre nuestro status político: si hemos de retroceder, permanecer inertes 6 de un modo unisono afrontar al mundo con un programa definitivo. La corresia extendida a nuestro ilustre viajero a su senora esposa a través de la República de Cuba, no será nunca olvidada, principalmente en tales ciudades como Guantanamo, Camagüey, Moron y la Habana. Todo ello pone de manifiesto la actitud de cooperación de parte de nuestro elemento. sea-cual fuere su nacionalidad o procedencia. En nombre de la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra, el honorable Smith desde lo más profundo de su alma envía una nota de gratitud a aquella república, en la esperanza de tener la satisfacción de poderla.visitar de oriente a occidente, para regocijar de nuevo la hospitalidad de que fue objeto. Y nosotros desde este nos placeriamos en reintegrarla a todo hijo de aquel suelo hospitalario que visite esta parte del continente. No nos cabe la menor duda que durante este mes la representación de los pueblos negros del universo reunida en el Liberty Hall de esta ciudad, ha de coordinar un programa eficiente, el cual ha de dar un giro satisfactorio a la situación actual de nuestra raza, en lo que respecta al sentimiento universal en su contra. Queremos, que se vea allí demostrada, de parte de los delegados y representantes, la entereza de caracter y la convicción por la realización del ideal sacrosanto de nuestra organización. Así a la clausura de esta magna reunión internacional de la representación genuina de nuestro pueblo, veremos añadida una nueva página de gloria a los anales históricos de nuestra raza. Nueva era de paz El señor E. C. Joubert, exministro dominicano del gobierno de la ocupación militar, y del provisional salió para Santo Domingo para fijar alli su residencia. El no ha trazado planes de sus actividades futuras. Al concluir sus servicios, se manifesta optimista acerca del futuro dominicano. Me siento complacido, dijo que de las cosas hasan tomado su curso normal en la República Dominicana. Con esto quiero decir algo más que el mero establecimiento del gobierno constitucional. Quiero decir la buena inteligencia que existe ahora entre la República Dominicana y los Estados Unidos y esta buena inteligencia nos ayudara a progresar sin utteriores dificultades. El ministro predijó-que eliminado el temor de complicaciones internacionales, los dominicanos procedían rapidamente al desarrollo de las relaciones económicas y otras. La situación comercial dominicana no ha sido hasta aquí satisfactoria debido al indefinido status político durante el prolongado regimen del gobierno provisional, organizado para preparar la retira de las tropas de los Estados Unidos. Esto trajo naturalmente la timidez en el fomento del comercio. Abrigamos la esperanza de queel presente y el próximo serán dos años de grandes realizaciones en la historia de nuestro movimiento, y nos vanagloriamos ya por el exito obtenido como recompensa, de nuestro grandes esfuerzos y de nuestro mayores sacrificios. Nuestra organización es altamente conocida universalmente; hombres, razas y naciones nos observan a cada paso y hemos de actuar en este gran conclave como los verdaderos representantes de nuestro pueblo. Hemos de demostrar al universo entero que revestidos del nuevo espíritu de determinación, hemos de luchar hasta llegar a la meta de nuestros aspiraciones perecer en el fragar de la contienda. Los enemigos de la raza han tendido su redes, pero estas han de ser destruidas por el fuego solar de la estrella de nuestro destino; sin prestar mayor atención a los que estos digan o hagan, hemos de continuar en la batalla con gran firmeza hasta que la victoria corone nuestro glorioso estandar. No hemos de admitir parlamento ni habrá un paso de retroceso para nuestro movimiento; reconocemos un solo deber y este es el continuar hacia adelante, afrontando toda opúsición y contrarrestando toda propaganda perversa, inspirados por nuestra nueva determinación. Del mismo modo que la fuerza unida de las naciones aliadas durante la última contienda universal no permitió el paso al enemigo, esta organización ha de fortificaree con la unión de sus fuerzas y en su camino de avance colocará su bandera blanca, roja y verde en el firme mastil del templo de la libertad. Ahora viene una era de paz y desarrollo, dijo el ministro. La República Dominicana tiene buques caminos dondequiera. Hay una fuerza de policía bien organizada y el sentimiento del país es por la paz y la prosperidad. El fue ministro de Santo Domingo en Washington desde 1920, enrique anteriormente habia sido representante de la Republica Dominicana en los Estados Unidos. Se ha militariizado con todos los presidentes, desde McKinley hasta Coolidge. Fué encargado de negocios durante la administración del primero; ministro residente bajo Roosevelt; ministro penitenciario bajo Wilson. Su sucesor, el señor José del Carmen Ariza, está actualmente en Washington. A aquellos que creen que facilmente pueden destruir los planes de esta organización, hemos de advertir que se preparen a experimentar la lucha mas tenaz de una raza por el reconocimiento de sus derechos. El espíritu de nuestra organización ha unido el Africa, las Antillas, centro, sur y norte America en un sólo haz de la raza para que el negro sea libre; ha reunido la representación de nuestro elemento de esas regiones en asamblea magna para que defienda los sagrados principios de justicia y de confraternidad, por medio de los cuales hemos de guiarnos y hemos de ascender a la caupide de nuestra idealización. Otro partido en la lucha Los que formamos parte integrante de esta organización no hemos de ser bajo concepto alguno, injustos con ningun individuo, raza o nació; todo cuanto demandamos es la consideración por igual en un sentido humano. Durante el presente mes de convención haremos que nuestra voz desde el Liberty Hall de esta ciudad, repercuta en los cuatro puntos del globo; hemos de demostrar que el negro vive adult; Inglaterra, Francia y demás poderes predominantes tendrían el conocimiento pleno de que el negro demanda aquello que legitimamente le pertenece, y no ha de inclinar por más tiempo la cabeza sino que fuchará por lo que crea una causa justifienda El partido-pregresista nació para sostener en la próxima campaña presidencial el pendón del senador La Follette en la gigantezca lucha electoral que tendrá lugar en noviembre y en la cual el pueblo de los Estados Unidos va a decide-unil el ciudadano que quiere en la Casa Blanca: Cockidge, candidato de los republicanos; Davis, candidato de los democratas, o La Follette, candidato de democratas y republicanos progresistas. El nombre del partido fue esco- gido en el comib de los ones que dirigen la campaña de La Folletera Wheeler. Se chirpela en todos los estados tonde los progenistas establezcan una plataforma independiente. Se escogió también el emblema del partido. Así como el partido democrata tiene por emblema una asun y el republicano un elefante, el partido independiente es una campana, la campana de la libertad norteamericana. Dentro de poco la junta de estrategia de la campana-presidencial del partido progresista pondra en actividad a todos los resortes de la maquinaria. El comité acepto la creación de un fondo de tres millones para la campaña, como propuso H. H. Rosenfelt de Nueva York. Se decidió que este fondo se recogiera principalmente entre las uniones obreras, organizaciones agricolas, el partido socialista, grupos políticos independientes y el público en general en forma de contribución de un dollar. Se ha fijado el dia del trabajo, que es el primer lunes de septiembre entrante, para pronunciar el primer discurso de toda la campaña. Se declaro yue tanto el senador La Follette como el senador Wheeler pronunciarian el día su primer transcendental discurso. La Follette en Nueva York, Wheeler in Boston. Se estuvo considerando también la designación de dirigentes de la campaña en los respectivos estados. Probamente en la semana entrante se diren las personas escogidas, así como la colocación de los nombres de los candidatos en los registros. Dadas las importantes cuestiones que hay que solucionar, el comite la decidido celebrar sesiones diarias hasta las elecciones de los representantes. Untribunal de disciplina Un plan del primer ministro para la reforma del movimiento fascista es el tribunal superior de disciplina que ha de ser presidido esté fuera de discusión. Nada podria ser más característico del señor Mussolini y del movimiento que el representa. Desde el principio el credo fascista ha saido la reforma desde fuera. Parcía a Mussolini y sus partidas ríos que Italia había descendido a un mecanismo democrático, que era incapaz de actuar por falta de autoridad. Los fascistas se lanzaron a proporcionar esa autoridad, encomendándo a si misunos el empurdera satisfactoriamente. Cuando el asesinato del diputado Matteiotti demostró al mundo que hasta los Camisas. Negras eran una mezcla de vícios y virtudes, no había más que una salida desde el punto de vista de la filosofia fascista. Mussolini la ha encontrado. Cuando el fascismo se equivoca ha de ser, también sujeto a la disciplina desde el exterior. El tribunal de disciplina ya a tener facultades para purgar el partido de corrupción exactamente lo mismo que el partido iba purgar a Italia. Quida una pregunta por hacer: ¿Quién, a su vez, purgara al tribunal? Habiendo entregado audazmente a reformar el mundo según su deseo, Mussolini retorna dando un rodeo a la cierta cuestion de gobierno, la cuestion de donde encontrar un super-hombre. Desde que se descubre que el no juga un super-hombre, se propone delegar en otros el cargo. Terminará, si es ligico, por devolver el país al pueblo y por permitir gobernarse a si mismo por medio de partidos políticos libres que se mantienen reciprocamente a raya. Como profeta y director de naciones, la fracasado, y el mito de la salvacion del país por medio del fascismo fracasa con el. Viajando de incógnito Como el principe de Gales cuando viaja como Lord Renfrew. Hughes en el extranjero conserva el incognito en sus excursiones. Era un abrogado cuarto partido para Londres. Ahora como turista, va a Paris. Con gran esmero se indica que no hay nada oficial en su visita a la capital de Francia; pero a pesar de todo eso, encontrará tiempo para coogerar indirectamente a los fines que la indecisión de los consejeros de su partido le impide ayudar al descubierto. Quitarara fuerza a la idea de que los Estados Unidos no tienen simpatia por las demandas justas de Francia; eliogará la conferencia de Londres; solicitará, como un turista interesado en la economía del mundo, que la opinión fancesa no conduzca esa conferencia al frisco. El hará cuanto puéda por fortalecer la posición de Herrriot en Londres, poniendo el prestigio de su visita en ayuda de Herrriot en su patria. Esopa medida sensata, a pesar de la discreción con me debe ser hecha. Prudentemente, a menos que se subleve la excitable llama que fue Hyran Johnson, la administración Coolidge evolución de su política de asislamiento Pronto se dará a la publicidad mundial una nueva prensa de un el descubridor Cristóbal Colón nació en España. Des hombres de estudio bitánico han hecho un detente estudio para probar que el gran descubridor nació en el pequeno pueblo de Pontevedra, cerca de Vigo, en el norte de España, y publicaran pronto un libro. Asi declara, al regresar a los Estados Unidos, Harriet C. Adams, distinguida escritora y lectora de auntos geográficos, que recientemente visitó a Pontevedra. Adams, esposa de Franklin Adams, consejero de la Unión Panamericana, acaba de regresar a Washington, después de una jira de ocho meses por España y Marruecos, tahito español como francés. Sus artículos apacerán en las principales revistas de los Estados Unidos. Habla con gran entusiasmo del progreso hecho por España bajo la administración de Primo de Rivera. Ha realizadoizado incríbeles, dice. Viáje por todas partes de España, dondequíe-encentre pruebas de la nueva fe en el futuro de España y la confianza en su gobierno. Los planes del gobierno para eliminar el contrabando, poner más eficiencia en los departamentos, mejorar las carreteras ha sido recibido con agrado. Dondequiera se aprecia la capacidad e integridad de Primo de Rivera. Que la política marroqui tendrá éxito. Declara que sus propósitos han sido algunas veces falseados en las prensa española y en el extranjero por motivos políticos. Cree que los aspectos militares de la situación han sido exagerados y tiene confianza en que la pacificación de Martecruos se terminará completamente pronto. Su optisión se basa en su reconocimiento personal en Martecruos. Durante su jira visitó a Sevilla, donde dice que la construcción del edificio de la Exposición Ibero-Americana se eguentra ya avanzada. Estos ediciones dice son exquisitamente bellos, representativos de la arquitectura española. Nunca se construyeron para minguna exposición edificas más elegantes. Son de carácter permanente. Después de la feria; uno de ellos será usado para una galería de arte moderno, otro para artes de todas las edades y un tercero como pabellón de convenciones, y grandes asambleas públicas. Todo indica que, a diferencia de otras exposiciones, toda la obra se habrá compuesto para la fecha amunicada de su inauguración. Si en el extranjero se comprende, el esplender de la exposición, la concurrencia será importante. Declara que los viales de turista en España se bacen en mejores condiciones que lo que se puesta en el extranjero. Los precios de los hoteles son razonables. Hay magnificos caminos y tina oficina para información de turistas en las principales ciudades. Labor diplomática El gobierno soviet, desde el tiempo en que los comisarios comunistas de cubrieron por primera vez la extrema sensibilidad de Lord Curzon a la propaganda soviética en la frontera noroeste de la India, han sostenido una política oriental. Aquel lujo tradicional de los ezares se ha convertido, con alteraciones superficiales, en un tono de los más brillantes romances de los Rojos; los puertos de aguas templadas y las esferas de influencia de una más antigua diplomacia, han sido reemplazados por un programa desconcertante basado en la fraternidad con el hombre asiático, y los herederos de Karl Marx se lanzaron a ofrecer una asombrosa protección a China optimida, concediendo ostentosamente oídos atentos a las enseñanzas de Rabindran Tagore. Pero es solo ultimamente que han hecho avances en esta política. El tratado chino firmado al fin de mayo fue el primer piso definitivo; y se anuncia ahora que el Japon ha formado los terninos bajo los cuales concederia: el reconocimiento a los bolsevikis. El Japon ha de evacuar la parte norte de Saghalien a cambio e una simple satisfacción verbal por los asesinatos de Nikoliaevik y a cambio también de concesiones petrolères y minerales en el territorio. El Japon abandonara sus demandas de concesiones en Siberia. Sin embargo, se trata de un juego en el que juegan dos. La política de Rusia de consolidar e leste para un ataque contra el capitalismo occidental es un poco demasiado ingenuas para ser tomada en serio. Estamos dispuestos, decía un informe al congreso de la Tercera Internacional; ayudar al Japón a lauchar contra el capitalismo de los Estados Unidos, pero solo a consecuencia de ello nos vemos en los de hacer grandes avances hacia el comunismo en el Japón. Pero los japoneses son realistas. Sus negriciones con Rusia parecen indicar un nuevo deseo de consolidar la posición japonesa que orienta por medio de una inteligente diplomacia más bien que por medio de que pudiens minimizar que haga porque el 1993 no sodiente. La ley de constitución de los Estados Unidos pudo tener algo que ver en ello, pero da típode, modosa el primer ministro Kuto cres que el Japón tiene el porvenir en China, y al porquer puede dar grandes rodeo-para llegar a el. La perspectiva electoral Apenas designado por la Convención de Madison Square Garden candidato de los democratas para la presidencia, John W. Davis, está ya en plena fiebre de preparación para la campaña electoral. Esta se anuncia de parte de los democratas muy ardorosa. Dijerase que los leaders, enfiriados apenas del furioso combate de tres semanas de la Convención, se aperciben de que la candidatura de Mr. Davis, en lucha con la candidatura del presidente. Coolidge, necesita los más energicos esfuerzos y la mejor de las suertes para triunfar en noviembre. Tal perspectiva no es sino muy exacta. Los más optimistas democratas saben ya que, a pesar del tono confiado, ortodoxo y lleno de amórosa armenia de partido que usan los grandes diarios democratas, el partido dista muchismo de estar unido como un solo hombre hajo la bandera del candidato a la presidencia. Dürante la Convencion y antes de ella, se ha dicho demasiado en contra de los "intereses", de Wall Street, de la banca interacional, de los monopolios y las grandes industrias que ejercen su influencia en Washington. Ahora, anulado definitivamente McAdoo gracias, en mucho, a esos ataques, no puede esperarse que todos los democratas, y el público en general, tengan la candorosa ingenuidad de Mr. William Jennings Bryan que olvidó su odio sagrado al capitalismo corrupter, que cerraba el paso a su candidato Mr. McAdoo . en cuanto se eligió a su hermano, el governor Bryan, candidato a la vicepresidencia. El partido democratico salió del "deadlock" de la Convención con una formula "a la antigua", que dejó contentos a los jefes de pandilla de los principales estados. Pero los soldados de fila del partido no han quedado contentos. Y el público en general, mucho menos. La Convenión fugi como una esplendida representación de política since la en que durante varias sesiones se dejo que la passion, los intereses, las ideas y las ambiciones de los delegados jugaran plemenate. Después, cuando convino a los "hosses", se dieron las consignas preisas y se votó al candidato favorable. Ni tojo ni negro, ni reaccionario ni avandazo, ni amigo ni cuenijo del Ku Klux Klan, ni partidario de la libertad religiosa absoluta —como en este caso la piden instante los católicos— ni favorable a la intolerancia grotesca e ilegal de los protestantes de varias denominaciones. Pero los candidatos inciertos, insipides e invioladores, que pueden placer a las organizaciones conservadoras, instamente partidos de estabilidad, de contemplaciones, de "conservación" de posiciones ya adquiridas, no sirven para los partidos democratas. Un partido democrataria tiene siempre reivindicativos que llevar a cabo, vicios administrativos que extirpar, verdaderas revoluciones pacificas que realizar. X. la reacion depuradora que se pide como cauterio a los males achacados a la administracion de los escandalos petroleros' del Tea Pot Dome dye on los permisos de venta de alcohol, no es logico esperarla, irrefrenada y sin contemplaciones ni respetos, de un candidato reconocido y declaradamente adicto a Wall Street, a los grandes bancos, a las grandes industrias. - La Prensa, N. Y. Causas de una revolución Los cabbes al dar las noticias de la revuelta militar en el estado de Sao Paulo, las personalas familiarizadas con la historia política del Brasil supieron innediatamente que el gobierno federal: confrontaba graves dificultades. El espiritu de revuelta se habia/estado incubando en el país por dos años y fue característico del amor del hispanoamericano por lo dramático que le rebelion empezara en el minuto aniversario de la san-griente rebelion de Rio de Janeiro en 1922. Para comprender la significancia del movimiento dehen tenerse emientes ciertos puntos. Todas las republicas sudamericanas han sufrido desde sus comienzos de la dominación militar de sus politicos y en solo tres países se han hecho progreso hacia la liberación de los políticos mediate, la eliminación de las cliques de generales. En la Argentina esta separación es casi completa y así seperata ser el caso del Impel hasta la despegar de sus compromisos de entrada del presidente Paula. que guará el actual en el palacio de los jefes en Rio de Janeiro. Las causas de la reprimación pasan sintetizares de este modo: Cual es los militares hacia el gobierno civiles. Desgrado popular en rico estado da Sao Paulo por la que los paulistas consideran extragrancías del régimen federal. Desgrado en el estado de Sao Paulo por lo que los soldados pauifista consideraron la arrogancia de la mission de instrucción militar francesa cuenta por el gobernador del estado doctor Carlos de Campos. La conspiración de los viejos grupos soportados, los que han estado alegados por aftos que los estados prograsitos del sur y el centro de Brasil estan sin esperanza contrarrestados en la lucha por el progreso por los estados retrasados del norte del ecuador. --- Parece ser que la combinación de estos serpos produjo la revueza, concentrándose en la crisis immediata caunada por la investigación de las finanzas de la república por una misión británica y la discusión en el ejército de una proposición para renovar el contrato con la misión militar francesa. Los conspiradores políticos, separatistas encontraron campo propicio en el animo de lag descontentos soldados que creyeron que el honor del ejército habia sido ultrajado por la actitud dramática de Pessoa en 1922, cuando ordeno la prisión del mariscal da Fonseca, presidente del poderoso partido militar y comandante en jefe del ejército, por haber intervenido en una controversia política en el estado de Pernambuco.

Administration et Rédaction 56 WEST 135TH STREET NEW YORK, E. U. A. SAMEDI, LE 9 AOUT, 1924 Grande Convention Internationale de la Race Negre en session o New York—La voix de la Race se répercutera jusqu'aux confins de la terre—Le premier Aout sera un grand jour pour la Race—Délégués arrivont par chaque bateau Concitoyens de la Race Negre, Salut: Dans quelques jours les yeux du monde civilisé seront fixés sur les Peuples Négres du Monde qui s'assemblent en grand conclave à Liberty Hall, 120 West 138th Street, New York, U. S. A., dans le but de recoillir l'expression enme du sentiment du houveau Négre en ce qui a trait à sa condition dans un monde mutile par la grande guerre fratricide; un monde remué jusqu'à profondeurs de son existence dans la recherche poursuit par les différentes races et les diverses nations qui chercheient un abri on, loin du danger qui ménace l'humanité, elles trouveront les garanties promises par la démocratie. D'après ce qui précède, la Universal Negro Improvement Association va reunir dans un conclave universel les représentants des 400,000,000 de Négres afin qu'ils décidient une fois pour toute, la position equivique de la Race, à savoir, si nous devons retrograder, rester dans le statu quo, ou à visière levée prémunir d'une charte synallagmatique pour la rehabilitation de la Race et à enseigne déplovle, marcher de l'avant. Toutes les voies conduiront à Carnegie Hall, le vendredi l'er Aout, à 8 heures 30 du soir, l'heure à laquelle se réuniront les délégués pour entendre les déclarations solennelles du grand conclave internation de la Kace-Négre. Le premier août sera célébré dans le monde entier comme la Fête Internationale de la Race Négre, et dont les membres habient de Antilles, l'Afrique, l'Amérique du Nord, l'Amérique du Sud, l'Amérique Centrale et le Canada. Nous célébrons le ler août avec allégresse, à cause de la bonne perspective qu'offre ce jour pour le bonheur de notre race. Unissons nos forces et célébrons avec une ferveur digne de cette occasion gloriense la Quatrième Convention Internationale. Donnons à cette celebration tout l'écrit que mérite un conclave aussi grandiose, et appuyons detout la force de notre âme, la Universal Negro Improvement Association. Mettons en pratique le programme de l'Association pour le mois d'octobre, de sorte que, à la fin des sessions, une nouvelle page une page brillante et glorieuse—sera déjà écrite dnas les annales de notre histoire. Commme nous l'avons déjà dit, nous comptons faire l'année courante et ce qui suivra les meilleures années dans l'existence de notre grande organisation. C'est pas sans raison qu'à l'heure actuelle nous sommes joyeux; nous sommes en élégresse à cause du succès dont nos labeurs ont été cournies. Nous sommes veillés des hommes; les différentes races et les différentes nations nous guétent; à cause de cela, acquittons-nous de notre tache avec dégnité, termeté et sincerité. Les ennemis de notre Race jettent partout leurs fillets. Qu'impôtre leur rage! Hommes et Femmes. l'Association Universelle pour l'Avancement de la Race Négre, ne saura reculer! A l'instar des Alliés, qui pendant la grande guerre avaient pris la détermination que "Lennemi ne passera point!" De la même manière, et tout en faisant une opposition systématique, Lennemi commun, nous déclarons, "Lennemi ne passera point!" Lennemi ne passera que quand le dernier homme de la Race Noire aura disparu de la terre; jusqu'aux, Lennemi sera tem en céché par la Universal Negro Improvement Association jusqu'à ce que le front de bandière tricole—le Rouge, le Noir et le Vert—soit irrevocablement planté sur les piliers immuables de la liberté! En attendant, J'ai l'honneur d'être Ouverture de la Quatrième Convention Internationale des Peuples Négres du Monde Dé haunt de la voute azurée, le soleil du premier jour du mois d'aout, avait, des le matin, envoyé ses rayons sur une terre qui, le jour, précédent avait été arrosée par des averses copieuses. Dès huit heures du matin Liberty Hall était devenue le Mécau où la foue en pelerinage et à pas accélérés assemblait pour le culte divin. A dix heures précises, en procession sollennelle les membres de la Croix Noire, les membres du Choeur, Sa Grandeur, Monseigneur Georges Alexandre McGuire, D. D., M. D., d'L'Eglise Africaine Orthodoxe, Chevalier de l'Ordre de la Couronne d'Epines, précédé par els membres du Clergé, et suivi par le Conseil des Secrétaires d'Etat—l'Hon Georges O. Mark, Député Suprène et Potentat de la Universal Negro Improvement Association; l'Hon William Sherrill; 2er Président-Général; l'Hon E. Carter, Secrétaire-Général; Hon Percival L. Burrows, Sous-Secrétaire-Général; l'Hon Clifford S. Bourne, Chancelier; Hon Thomas W. Anderson, Miniature des Travaux Publics; Hon Rudolphe Smith, 3e Président-Général; Hon Northon G. Thomas, 2e Sous-Secrétaire-Général; le Capitaine Wilmer J. Roberson, ex-Capitaine de l'Armée Américaine, 24ème régiment Inf., Commandant des Unités Militaires; le Rev. Van Richards, Chaplin du Sénet de la République de Liberia; Hon F. Levi Lord, Auditeur-Général; Hon George Weston, Vice-Président de la branche locale de la Universal Negro Improvement Association; H. V. Plummer, Adjutant-Général de la Universal Negro Improvement Association, et l'Hon Marcus Garvey, President-Général de la Universal Negro Improvement Association, marchaient enchantant le canique, "Echac nous, Lumière Eternelle." Le culte divin, suivant le rituel de l'Eglise Orthodoxe (forme duicatae), a dû entomné par le Rév. W. Elligor; omnise S. G. l'Evque Georges Afzandre McGuire prononce l'absoute. L'Evangile a été lu par le Rev. Van Richards, Chaplain du. Séiît de la République de Liberia. Le sermon a dé prononcé par Sa Grandeur McGuire. Son texte était Exode, 4:2—"Qu'as-tu à la main? Il répondit: une verge." Les quatre points sur lesquels l'Eveque a étayé sa meditation sont, (1) Le Bâton de notre pouvoir politique; (2) Le Bâton de notre indépendance économique; (3) Le Bâton de notre acquisition financière; (4) Le Bâton de notre pouvoir religieux. L'orateur nous a fait savoir que comme Race déjà nous possédons ce grand pouvoir qui est une puissance de la part de notre Crateur. Suivant l'Eveque, l'Association Universelle pour l'Avancenient de la Race Négre est un mouvement spirituel, et comme tel, il est impossible de détruire cette ouvre ou d'arrêter sa marche ascendante. Après le "Gloria" la bénédiction a été prononce par Sa Grandeur McGuire. A deux heures de l'après midi la deuxième partie du programme du jour, savoir la grande parade officielle d'environ cinq mille personnes eut lieu. Parmi les diverses représentations nous citons les tableaux suivants : "Le Christ Noir." "La Madone Noire." "L'Ethiopie désigne le Pavillon de l'Afrique." Démonstration des "Infirmières de la Croix Noire." "L'Ethiopie plaindant sa cause devant la Société des Nations." Le point culminant de ce jour mémorable était le meeting à Carnegie Hall, à neuf heures de soir. Les principaux traits du programme étaient : Solo par Mme. Frager Robinson. Solo par Mlle Abie Mitchel. Duetto—Mme Robinson et Mlle Connelliv. L'Hon. William Sherrill, Premier Vice-President, et premier orateur du soir, dans une superbe allocation a rappelle à son auditoire le caractère international de la Universal Negro Improvement Association, "Cette association," dit-il, "n'est pas un mouvement antillien; la Universal est un mouvement Negre, ayant des ramifications dans le monde entier. L'existence," continue le conferenceriel, "de la Universal Negro Improvement Association marque le moment psychologique dans l'existence de la Race Negre où la nouvelle race a pris naissance. . . . Le droit de gouverner sans le consentement de ceux qui sont gouvernés est, par tout dans le monde—dans l'Inde, dans la Chine, en Irlande, en Egypte, dans la Pologne, en Allemagne et en Afrique—sur la défensive; ce droit est autre cuidant et réfuté par tout et par tous." Le deuxième orateur fut L'Hon. Marcus Garvey, President-Général de la Universal Negro Improvement Association. M. Garvey a fait comprendre à l'assemblée en des termes non équivoques, qu'il est précétaire le suprême sacrifice pour ses frères de race; il est prêt, tout prêt à entrer en prison, où, même dans l'enfer pour la cause qui lui est chère. Après une soirée de vibrante inspiration et de détermination inebranable, les-exercices de la journée mémorable du premier au furent termines par l'Hynne National, "Ethiopie; Terre de nos Ancêtres." liberté d'examen étant compromise, déclare qu'aucun, projet de contrat, de convention ou de tritéte venant de la République des Etats-Unis de l'Amerique du Nord ne sera écoute avant-qu'elle n'a fait evacuer les points du territoire haïtien occupé par ses troupes et ses bateaux de guerre." Que faire pour que de tels procédes qui vont à l'encontre des principes du droit des gens, cessent au au plus tôt? S'adresser à la S. D. N., maintainant que cette société existe? Nous savons, helas trop, combien cette tribune internationale, par son favoritique exagéré, se désintérèse de ces questions vitale pour des nations entières; à Geneve l'on préfère s'occuper des différents qui divisent pour un temps les voisins directs. Il est incomprehensible qu'un pays, possédant son histoire, sa tradition, en un mot sa raison d'exister libre et indépendant, soit tenu, sous prétexte de protectorat et de colonisation, sous la férule d'une nation dite avancée. · C'est pourtant ce qui se passe un peu partout et spécialement en Haiti. Ce pays se trouve en ce moment exposé aux caprices, aux taillonnades de la bottle américaine. Nous ne voulons pas parler de toutes les difficultés, de tous les actes de violence dont la petite nation noire est, depuis longtemps, l'innocente - victime. Qu'il nous suffise de rappeler ce que disait-en 1915 un ancien senateur haïtien dans sa motion présenté au Sénat, au moment de l'occupation du territoire par les troupes américaines. Tonjours est-il que cette motion sera présentée par M. Dantès-Bellegarde, très prochament, au Congrès de l'Association pour la S. D. N. qui doit se tenir à Lyon. N'ons sommes certains que M. Bellegarde, ancien ministre plenipotentiaire d'Haiti à Paris, et ancien délegué de cette même republique à la S. D. N. saura Pappuyer de toute son autorité compétente. Dejá les délegués américains au cours ont cherché sans réusite à faire de telle sorte que la question hattienne ne fut pas débattue. "Le peuple, dit-il, est traité comme les Aborigènes le furent en 1492 par les Espagnols: Si nous n'ouvrouis les yeux, il sera dispersé et disparaitra comme eux." Voilà une pierce tendue à la S. D. N. dont nous avons signé les préférences, et dont nous connaissons les défis de jugement. Pour une fois, ce tribunal international, qui compte Haiti parmi ses membres, fondateurs, pourrait faire preuve de chairvoyance en ouvrir une canjage contre l'occupation militaire d'Haiti, occupation arbitraire, puisqu'elle ne fut précédée d'auteur déclaration de guerre. Desraisons d'Etat en sont les seuls motifs. Nons devons ajouter que, depuis cet avertissement, bien peut de chose a changé. Les declarations de paix aux États-Unis ne concordent nullement avec ce qui se passe en territoire haïtien oïl les Américains font desarmer des indigenees en restant armés eux-mêmes, afin le cas échéant, de les fugler sans explications. Citons encrele la fin de cet appel dans lequel M. Morpeau fait allusion à une Société des Nations avant la lettre: Il faut que, par une confusion de ses deligues à Lyon le peuple américain mette fin à cet état de choses, en demandant la rappel des troupes qui oppressent actuellement la territoire d'Hati et rende à ce pays une independance conquise d'ignement sans le concours d'aucune assistance extérieure. "Considérant que la République d'Haiti est en paix evec les Efats-Unis de l'Americ du Nord; "Considerant que l'invasion et l'occupation militaires et méthodiques, eaux le consentement de la Nation haitienne, du Fort National du Palais, de la Presidence, des Casernes Dessalines à Port-au-Prince, et de certaines autres portions du territoire sont des faits accomplis par la force des Etats-Unis, contrairement à la Constitution, aux intérêts de la Nation et au droit des gens; Allons. Messieurs les Américains, de nos jours la question de race n'intervient plus, et ceux qui font appel à ce pietre préjugé se dégrade rent eux-mêmes. Rendre à Cesar ce qui est à Cesar est le seul moyen de travailler pour la paix du monde. EGYPTE Les négociations anglo- egyptiennes "Considérant que, malgré l'élection du chef de l'Etat et la constitution de son cabinet, l'armée américaine a désarmé le Palais préidentiel et en a emporté les armes et munitions à bord des bateaux de guerre fédéraux, ainsi que celles en levées allières. On tiande de Londre a A une question qui lui était posée à la sécence de lundi, à la Chambre des communes, M. MacDonald a répondu qu'il a invité Zaghad pache à venir en Angleterre conférér avec lui et que tout réglement à intervenir sera submis à l'approbation du Parlement américain. "Le Corps législatif proteste auprès de toupes les Nations civiles contre l'invasion et l'occupation militaire et méthodiques du territoire national par les troupes et la marine de guerre des États-Unis de l'Amerique du Nord, pas ce fait, as PROGRAMME DE LA QUATRIMÉE CONVENTION INTERNATIONALE DES PEUPLES NEGRES DU MONDE EN SESSION A NEW YORK, DU 1er au 31 AOUT, 1924 LES GRANDS PROBLEMES QUI AFFECTENT LA RACE SERONT DISCUTES Tous les chemins conduiront à Liberty Hall, New York, le 1er août. a. c. où le quatrième Congrès Mondial del Peuples Nègres aura lieu.

Plan de Procuration, Plan et Justice et Plan de Procuration —Les Mots d'ordre de la France en Algérie (Le Temps.) La session du conseil supérieur été inaugurée météordi dans la sérée par le gouverneur général. Dans le discours qu'il a prononcé à cette occasion, M. Steeg a tout d'abord envoyé le salut de l'assemblée au nouveau président de la Répblique. Il a déclaré notamment: Notre sympathie va à M. Dommergue, d'autant plus ardente et amicre, que l'Algérie n'est pas une inconnue pour lui; qu'il me soit permis de formuler en votre nom le voeu que le president de la République vienne se rendre compte personnellement des heureuses transformations économiques, politiques et sociales qui se sont produites depuis l'époque déjà lointaine qui il exerçait ici les fonctions de magistrat. Après avoir rappelé le voyage de M. Miller en Algérie, le gouverneur général a abordé l'exposé du budget tel qu'il vient d'être adopté par les délégations financières, et qui, pour la première fois, depuis quelques années, se solde par un excedent reel; si bien qu'on peut avancer que la longue période d'incertitude est maintenant close. Le gouverneur général a ennuméré les ressources indispensables qui ont été votées par les délégations sur les propositions de l'administration et a fait part de la revision spéciale des avaluations foncières qui sera menée à bonne fin des l'année prochaine. M. Steeg a fait egalement un exposé du vaste programme d'intérêt général que les délégations financières ont voté, et pour lequel une somme de 427 millions a été prévue, s'échelomant sur cinq années. En 1930, a-t-il ajouté, l'Algérie sera préte et aura l'orgueil de monter au monde les résultats d'un siècle d'efforts français. Plus de prévoyance, plus de justice et plus de prospérite, tels sont les buts poursuivis par la civilisation de la France en ce pays. Le gouverneur général a fait ensuite allusion aux travaux hydrauliques et agricoles qui vont être encore plus développés, et à la création des ccoles d'agriculture. Tout cela, a-t-il ajouté, facilitera la venue en Algérie des paysans de France et formera une jumesse attentive à des travaux rémunérateurs et à des résultats fédéons. Puis le gouverneur a enuméré les bientais des caisses régionales agricoles et des sociétés de prévoyance qui ont pris un développement considérable, qui rejent aux indigences de grands services; de la caisse de cohisation qui vient d'être créée et qui, étant dotée par la colonie, sera appelée à rendre encore d'indigences services aux indigences qui vient de recevoir une nouvelle intensification. M. Steeg a indiqué que les années de disette ne doivent plus revenir partout où la France s'est établie. Avec le bien-être s'accorpon la sécurité indispensable à l'Algérie pour son labour fécund. En terminant, le gouverneur a assurer que la Algérie, profondement attachee à la mère patrie, entend participer dans la plus large mesure possible au relevement national de la patrie et qu'elle est digne de recevoir Voctroi de plus grandes libertés. "On peut faire, confiance, a-t-il dit, à une Algérie majure qui, dans la paix comme dans la guerre, assuma, les plus hauts devoirs et n'a d'autre ambition que de mettre au service de la mère patrie une activité plus souple, moins formaliste, plus originale et plus féconde."

The Potentate will bestow upon several prominent and distinguished persons such honors as are merited for service to the race. The honor list will include personages of several continents. NATIONAL CONFERENCE OF RURAL INSTITUTE Many Mothers, Farmers and Teachers Working Together to Improve Rural Conditions of Living HAMPTON, VA. Aug. 1, Negro ministers, farmers and teachers are operating to improve their own conditions and to build up the communities which they serve. By steady stages the Ministers' Conference of Hampton Institute has quietly grown in numbers and influence. From 40 ministers of Tidewater, Va., in 1914, representing four denominations, this Conference has grown to an enrollment of 257 this year, including representatives from 13 States and 13 denominations. The president of the Conference is Rev. Dr. M E. Davis, Portsmouth, Va. The executive secretary is Rev. Laurence Fenninger, chaplain of Hampton Institute. Both officers were re-elected. Preceded by the annual sermon given by Rev. W. R. A. Palmer, D.D. of Buffalo, N. Y., the four days of the recent eleventh conference were devoted to courses of study by various exports on subjects of vital interest. Prof. Kemper Fullerton, who holds the chair of Old Testament History in the Oberlin Graduate School of Theology, gave four lectures on Isaiah. Rev. Lace K. Williams, D.D., president of the National Baptist Convention and pastor of the institutional Olive Baptist Church, Chicago, gave in several talks some account of the organizations of his church and of the need that all churches should serve their communities. Rev. Arthur L. Swift, Jr., director of field work in Union Theological Seminary, spoke on the work of Sunday schools and other organizations for the young people of the churches. Rev. P. O'Connell, D.D. professor of history in Morgan College, gave four talks on the character of Jesus. It has not been by accident that the annual Ministers' and Farmers' Conferences have been held at Hampton Institute during the session of the Summer school, when many 90 teachers are present from many different States. To further the spirit of our operation among these groups, special union meetings, when teachers, farmers and teachers were present, were held during the conference. These were addressed by Dr. James Bardy Dillard, of the James and Stets Funds; by the Rt. Rev. Lynwood W. Kylee, D.D., bishop of the A. M. E. Zion Church, Winston-Salem, N. C., and by Dr. Warren H. Wilson, head of the Department of Rural Education at Teachers College, Columbia University, and director of the Town and Country Department of the Board of National Missions of the Presbyterian Church. Dr. Wilson's subject at the union meeting was "Out of the Boll We Make Men." He spoke also several times at the Ministers' Conference on subjects of special interest to that body. The speakers from a distance who addressed the Farmers' Conference were John R. Hutcheson, State director of Extension Work, who spoke on "Co-operative Marketing," and C. W. Warburton, director of the U. S. Extension Service; also Mrs. M. M. Davis, State agent for Co-operative Extension Work in Home Economics, Mrs. Davis made a plea for the extension of modern machinery to the farm home. In order to save the farm women many unnecessary miles of walking and fro in their kitchens. A large number of demonstrations were made before the 164 visiting farmers by members of the staff of the Hampton Institute School of Agriculture, the director of which is Warren K. Bloedgett. Ministers and farmers agreed in conference that the church community center should be the unit in building up rural progress; that all types of rural workers should be taught to co-operate with one another, and that the results of such co-operation should be sent out broadcast to other rural communities. They also recommended that Hampton Institute should conduct a short course for rural ministers similar to that now carried on for farmers. DR. THOMAS W.

THE SURPASSING NATURAL RICHES OF THE REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA Dr. East, of the Baptist Foreign Mission Board, tells Us What the People Need for Education and Development Rev. J. E. East, the corresponding secretary of the Foreign Mission Board of the National Baptist Convention, after a visit to the Republic of Liberia, West Coast of Africa, has the following to say about the conditions of life and living as he found them, together with the surpassing undeveloped riches of the country in a report to the board, published in the Mission Herald for July: It was our pressure to be in the capital of the Negro Republic, where we could have a chance to study the government with its president and officials, all members of the black race. Any fair-minded mar. who looks carefully into the situation. must admit that they are doing well. Surely they are accused of graft of oppressing the weak, of corruption in politics, but what naion is exempt from these evils? They have their governmental work well systematized. The acts of the Liberian Government are not nearly as dark as people would think. Their constitution and their laws are fashioned after ours. Like us they have laws for the welfare and protection of their citizens. Violators are punished by the most minor penalty to the capital. Two were hanged in the town of Monrovia, while we were there. One of these was a West Indian, who had brutally murdered a friend wion he had carried out hunting. The murder was a clear case against him. After many appeals he was finally condemned, and the day fixed for his execution. Early one morning he was led out of the jail and was walked about half a mile over to the cemetery, the coffin being carried just before him. There right in the sight of the grave where a gallows had been erected he was put on the scaffold and given an opportunity to have his last word. He confessed to being responsible for three other murders on his side. Then his funeral was praached, and he was committed to the earth—all the while he was standing there so he could see and hear. The whistle was blown, the trap was sprung, his neck was broken, and into his grave he was laid. Apparently Are You Reaching for the Truth? I will tell you FREE Under which Zodiac Sign were you born?

The greatest danger to the Republic is the heavy national debt, the lack of funds for agriculture, the lack of roads and other improvements, and the bitterness with which their political campaigns are conducted. Nearly every presidential election seems to bring them to the verge of a civil war, if reports are true. Traveling through the Republic, we found it to be one of the richest parts of God's earth that it had been our pleasure to exploit. The forests wave with natural wealth; the oil palms, which can be seen from every direction for fifty miles from the coast, bear each year hundreds and thousands of dollars worth of palm oil, if it could only be gathered and put on the market. Rubber, grows wild in seven varieties, some of which are of the finest grade. Then the mineral wealth of the country, almost untouched, is very great. It is known assuredly that they have diamonds, gold and ore there—the world has yet to know what else. We brought back a sample of mica. Coffee also grows wild, and Liberian coffee has a very fine flavor. The great rainfalls are another asset to the country. Crops could easily be grown all the year round. Corn, cotton, coffee, oranges, grapefruit, lemons, bananas, cocoa, all kinds of green vegetables and fruits, including watermelons and cantaloupes, grow abundantly in Liberia. At present very little is known of the interior. The Americo-Liberians are very sparsely settled at various points along the coast. Perhaps very few, if any, are settled further than fifty miles in from the ocean. Beyond this limit, within the next one or two hundred miles, we have a vast population of native people dwelling in the midst of a fine agricultural and very healthy country. In places in the interior are fine grass lands where cattle and horses are plentiful, but not so along the coast, where the Liberians live. If they would have these stocks flourish, they must dig up the trees and get out the roots so that the grass n. y grow. The possibilities in Liberia along agricultural lines are very, very great. Perhaps there is no more fertile tract of land on the whole continent of Africa than this rich republic. Roads that can be used by wagons and automobiles are limited. There is one from Monrovia stretching for about twenty-five miles toward White Plains, hitting the St. Paul River. This is a newly made road, and is still being extended. Eventually this road will run by our Suehn Mission. After leaving Monrovia for about twenty miles, there is another twenty-five mile branch from it going on towards Careysburg. This one is also being extended. Both these roads go right through the 2,000-acre farm we have purchased, and are already within two miles of it. One of these will pass our 1,525 acres of land in our Suehn Mission, but they have some thirty-five miles yet to lay before they will reach there. All of this will not be road-making, however, for twenty-five miles of it is already a good broad road, wide enough for a wagon to travel over, but small hills must be graded and bridges be made before it can be conveniently used. The People, Americo-Liberians. There are about twenty different settlements of Americo-Liberians in Liberia. Some of these settlements are named for places from which the people went; for instance, New Georgia, Virginia, Philadelphia, New York, and many others. Most of them are very large, and in a number of them are Baptist churches. Some have more than one church. Evidently the fathers who went out from this country were Baptists. They have services, but their ministers are very poorly paid—sometimes only a promise, and no pay at all. With the exception of the church in Liberia, the minister seldom gets over $5 or $10 per month, and some less than that for serving the various Baptist churches, but they are trying to hold on. The Baptists have a convention. Their president, Dr. Liberty, is a most intelligent man. The convention sends greetings to our board. We found the Liberian Baptists anoints to co-op- ersate with us. They are struggling for existence. Other denominations have given the country better educational institutions than our own. The Episcopalians and the methodist- Episcopalians have carried on good institutions there for a number of years, and thus many of our Baptist children have been educated in these institutions; and now all the leading officials, those ancestors were Baptists, arq scribers of these churches. How long shall we sleep and stand for this? Not the of the above number of settlements have good elementary schools for the training of their children. The government carries on about forty-two schools throughout the republic. Many of these, however, are among native people. It is painful to go through these various villages and see the parents who were born in America, or perhaps children of the second generation of parents who emigrated, retrograding into heathen practices, all for the want of schools and training. The Liberian Baptists are pleading for help. With $2,000 we could put an elementary school in every Liberian village, where they do not have one today, and pay a local teacher $15 or $20 a month. The children would be well trained, and then there same children could go on to our school for higher training and education, provided we make places for them. Thus we would regain much territory that we have lost in past years. These institutions, however, must not be a mockery. They must be schools in reality, not just something on paper. We must do more than we seem to do. We find that the mission work in Liberia has been carried on in quite a different plane from what it has been carried on in South Africa. We do not have the central station idea, with a number of out stations around it. In South Africa, where we were stationed, we had a central of main station, and ten out stations where we held services, and Sunday school and day school as far as possible. "Gossip and Scandal" Barred In Paper A Woman Founds A weekly newspaper, managed by a woman and which announces that it taboos "gossip and scandal." has been launched in Yorktown, Westchester County, Miss Cornelia Pursley, of Yorktown Heights, is the promoter and business manager. "The Yorktown Herald," as it is to be known, will be independent in politics and, has but two announced policies, which are carried prominently in the first issue. One reads: "The Herald will be a clean, home-town paper and will not open its columns to scandal or gossip, but work for the upbuilding of the town of Yorktown. No long-felt want conceived the Herald. Its birth is purely a business enterprise and its age will depend upon the patronage. It receives from the residents of Yorktown Heights and vicinity."

Send $2.00 for first week's supply. Our people have just cause to complain because of the unequal accommodations provided for them by the real-rise companies in this section of the country. The law provides that there shall be equal accommodations on public carriers; but this law is disregarded in the most studious and systematic manner. Let us suppose a passenger starts from Nashville, Tennessee, to Cleveland, Ohio. He is forced into a dusty, dingy apartment right next to the baggage car. This baggage car is sometimes occupied by a pet dog or a mad goat. The former barks and, growls continually, while the latter fills all the colored coach with a long (but unsavory) perfume. In addition to the punishment, inflicted by this close proximity to these ill-mannered animals, there is a painful lack of room for the number of passengers who ride on the train. Only about one-third of a coach is set apart for us and we must be content with that. no matter how crowded and uncomfortable it may become. Colored women are sometimes compelled to ride long distances standing with babies in their arms, unless they are rescued by colored men who out of respect for the women of their race give up their seats to them. These women are riding on tickets which are labeled first-class and call for first-class accommodations. Submitting tamely as our people do to segregation in Jim Crow cars, it does seem that they should have reasonable moving space; that they should at least be made comfortable in transit. The people who operate the cars, the people to whom we must complain, the people who make the laws, the people who execute them, the commission that regulates traffic, the people who make public opinion regarding all this inequality are members of another race Our fortunes are in their hands, many of them high officials, in Christian churches throughout the Southland, who listen twice a week to the gospel of right, equity, and brotherly love; who are admonished almost daily that the strong should bear the infirmities of the weak. It does seem to us that appeals made to people of this character should not fall on deaf ears. Let us hope that a new social con- WORLDS BIGGEST BARGAIN for Stout Women SPANISH LACE Foulard DRESS £398 Stout and Foulard Size 32 to 54 A Money Back Guarantee We do not guarantee to send Chloe Brown's dress if you do not purchase it.

The information should be interesting and instructive to the readers of The Negro World. The article follows: There was a lapse, or fifty-four years before the second case. But when it came, in 1857, it was full of dynamite. It was the famous Dred Scott decision of 1857, invalidating the "Missouri Compromise". Act, March 6, 1820, by which Congress had hoped to solve theateful problem of a nation "half slave, half free." By the terms of this compromise, slavery was to be forever prohibited in all that portion of the Louisiana Purchase lying north of latitude 36 degrees 30 minutes and not included in Louisiana. The case came up on appeal from the United States Circuit. Court for the Missouri District, where Dred Scott, a Negro, had sued to obtain the freedom of himself, his wife and their two children. Scott had been a slave belonging to one Dr. Emerson, an army surgeon, who, in 1834, had taken him from Missouri to the military post at Rock Island, Ill., and later to Fort Snelling, in what is now Minnesota. In 1838, coming back to Jefferson Barracks, Mo. Emerson sold Scott and his family to one John F. A. Sanford, but when the new owner attempted to take possession the human chattel sued him for trespass vl et arms. Dred Scott Decision Scott's basic claim was that under the terms of the Missouri Compromise both Illinois and Minnesota were "free soil" and that his residence there had automatically emancipated him. The Supreme Court denied his contention LEARN THE VALUE OF ADVERTISING AS IT PAYS ALL SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS MEN WILL SUPPORT THIS STATEMENT Do Not Throw Money Away by Starving Out Your Business of Publicity.

C. SALTUS, Advertising Dept. NOT EVEN STANDING ROOM IN AMERICA 10,000 YEARS HENCE, SAYS PROFESSOR and invalidated the Missouri Compromis- ment by declaring it unconstitutional on the ground that an act prohibiting a citizen from owning certain property in territory north of a certain line and granting the right to others, was not warranted by the Constitution. The thirteenth decision, in United States v. Reese, 1876, was the first of several defining and limiting the effect of the 'emancipation Amendment.' Act May 13, 1870, provided for the punishment of any who refused to receive and count the votes of qualified citizens because of their race, color or previous condition, of servitude. A white election inspector of Kentucky was indicted under this act, and the case came up for decision on his demurrier. The Supreme Court held that the act, as a penal statute, was faulty through ambiguity of language, and took occasion to announce a general principle that the Fifteenth Amendment did not confer the right of suffrage on any one, but simply prevented the States, or the United States, from giving preference to one citizen over another. The 17th decision in United States vs. Stanley, declared unconstitutional parts of the Civil Rights Act of March 1, 1875, punishing those who might deny to Negroes equal accommodations at hotel, theatres, trains, etc. The court hold that the 13th and 14th amendments only prohibit the passing of discriminatory laws against members of the Negro race and hold no warrant for penal enactments directed against the discriminatory acts of private perons of corporations. The next decision, in United States vs. Harris, 1863, attested great feeling at the time because it nullified the act April 29, 1871, an attempt by Congress to punish the activities of the original Ku Kluxes. The act provided that: "If two or more persons in any State or Territory compile, or go in disguise upon the highway, or upon the premises of another, for the purpose of . . . depriving any person, or class of persons, or of equal privileges and immunities under the laws, or for the purpose of preventing or hindering the constituted authorities from giving or securing to persons the equal protection of the law—each of said persons shall be punished by a fine of not less than $500, or more than $5,000, or by imprisonment for not less than six months, or more than six years, or by both." The court held that the Constitution holds no warrant for the enactment of this Federal penal statute, and that its acceptance "would invest Congress with power over the whole catalog of crimes" which properly fall under the jurisdiction of the local police power. The Civil Rights Act and the question of race equality came up again in 1913 in Butts vs. Merchants' and Miners' Transportation Company. The court denied, as not within the Intent of Congress, the validity of these equal treatment provisions solely in places like the sea and the District of Columbia, which are within the jurisdiction of the United States, but of no State. British Hold on the Sudan to Be Maintained (From the "London Chronicle") Labor contributions to the debate on the Sudan in the House of Commons this evening were in marked contrast with the speeches that members of the Government party used to make. Mr. Ramay MacDonnal was last year insisting on Inquiry into 'minister' exploitation of the natives. He wants no inquiry now and there seems to be nothing minister. Indeed, he warmly eulogized the British administrators in the Sudan and said in effect that things are going well there and that we need only keep moving in the same direction. And though in no spirit of aggression or acquisition—he is all for maintaining the British occupation "It must be clearly understood," he said, "that Great Britain cannot throw off its region abilities, contacted to the Sudan and the Sudanese by withdrawing and hindering the government of that country ever to any other government." Zaghul Coming Happy in having disposed of the report, on his trip to Paris, he was in benign mood. Not only is the Sudan all right, but things will be well with Egypt also if only Zaghal Pasha (who is coming to London) is reassoubled and will be ready to come to the new understanding made necessary by recognition of Egyptian independence. No Egyptian interest will suffer, he said; and, in particular, the water supply will be completely safeguarded. But there was a note of warning—the period of negotiations must not be used for upsetting the status quo in the Sudan. And he insisted on direct negotiations with Egypt, refusing any reference to the League of Nations. WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass., Aug. 2.

Ladies of Royal Court of Ethiopia Return Thanks To the Editor of The Macro World, Kindly allow us, the Ladies of the Royal Court of Ethiopia, publicly to thank the Minister of Legions, Capt Wilmer Robertson and the Royal Engineers, so ably commanded by Col. Samuel Lord, for co-operating with Mrs. Shaperson Yong, in constructing the floats for the parade. These gentlemen worked faithfully, night, and day for one week and certainly exhibited their skill as master carpenters. Capt. Robertson made the excellent plans for the floats, assisted by Mrs. Young's creative and artistry ability. In fact, so many helped to decorate and make the floats beautiful, that individual praises would be invidious. Also, we have to thank the Black Cross Nuraces for helping with and approving the design of their float. Tours for the cause Aricle. MARION WALLACE. Secretary Ladies of the Royal Court of Ethiopia. New York City, Aug. 2, 1924. WHITE MAN'S CHRIST ISN'T REAL CHRIST Christianity Is Not a Failure, but White Christians Have Fallen Short of the High Calling (From the Indianapolis: Freeman) (From the Indianapolis-Freeman) The most serious charges that can be made against Christian communities are these: that they have not given Christianity a fair trial, and that there is a preponderance of evidence that this faith of our fathers will not be sufficiently backed up with works for a long, long time. During the nineteen hundred years of studying and preaching Christ's laws for ideal living, both individual and community, it can be truthfully said that the majority of so-called Christian people have in spirit bowed down to Baal and worshipped him. They have preached peace while they deliberately planned and made war, ye, and made war increasingly diabolical with no justification that was loftier than Alexander the Great's, Caesar's or many other of the heathen warriors. In business, in social life, in politics, and even in the church, the crave of the conqueror just for selfish glory and power has been the great urge. Where is the community of any considerable size in which a large majority of its citizens have for any reasonable length of time made a serious, sustained effort to use their talents for good only or for good most of the time? Where is the community of considerable size in which a large minority of its citizens sincerely prayed day after day for victory if they were right and for failure in interest of a better life if they were wrong? For nineteen hundred years man has murdered and mumbled, "This will be done," but he meant not God's will but his own will and therein was the source of all the trouble. How much better is the situation today? If selfishness is not regnant it never was. Even in the pettiest of affairs, there are too many who love you only when they can use you and speak well of you only when it serves to advance their cause to do so. In the most Christian of Christian communities, the United States of America, the land of the free and the home of the brave, men who, are at heart against many things and conditions they know to be wrong and destructive to this nation they profess to love, four to either speak or act against them, let they lose their prestige, money, friends or election to public office. Fear, fear, that fear which is the tenomious child of selfishness, has gripped the souls of those whom nature has marked out to be heir-hearted and there are many of this type, while harried and predicuous, holdy heart and scantily there, show men why they should not be fit with their fellows, yes, why they should oppose them and make them forget their divine attributes, if possible. Look how the political parties are training to do the vital tasks that cannot be evaded (try as much as they must) and must be solved. It appears that the parties fear to put the question of right and living to the people for education by calling a stake a spade by naming the evil or supposed evil to be excavated. No racial group is free from the fault herein complained of. Two a large number of our great bodies that exist solely for the promotion of a practical idealism are hampered by it. The poor are as responsible as the rich. Of course there are exceptions, but they are not sufficiently powerful to do more than preach and protest. To whom is it not evident that the ruling passions of today are not love and brotherhood, those two things for which men will not faller even in the face of severest tests? It is not strange that mankind, after having tried to build a happy state on every other foundation and failed, still clings to idol gods, still rejects the last and only test, still fears the consequences of a practice that will make all men strive together for the greatest good for the greatest number, regardless of race, color or creed. By the end of this century, he explained, at the rate of increase in the years immediately preceding the World War, this country would have one-third again more People than China has now, with one-fourth less land. By the middle of the next century the population of the United States would equal that of the whole world today. WEIRD MYSTO OUTFIT The ORIGINAL seard.

MYTOOCE: 123 Clarend Street, Bost, 11, New York City According to a news report of the concluding lecture of our Valentine Chirl, formerly director of the foreign department of the London Times, before the Harris Foundation of International Politics at Chicago as appearing in a recent issue of the Christian Science Monitor, the "clash of color," setting faces in antagonism one to another is a problem not without solution. Of its overcoming he vouchsafed: The more firmly we ourselves believe in the superiority of a civilization which, so far, it has been the privileged of the white man to build up in his Occidental homelands, the more we are bound by its principles and the principles of the common Christianity which are its foundations to do all in our power to temper theutterness of a racial discord which, if it spreads and deepens, may threaten the future of the whole human race. Often as our own practice may have fallen short of our ideals, the common civilization of the occident to which America belongs, quite as much on Europe, must surely as before us delimit ideals for which we should all strive as nations and as individuals. Sir Villette declared that more than ever before the peaceful realignment of the relations between the occident and the Orient depends upon the solution of the race problem in Asia. He observed. All the manifold discourses of the Orient are bound up together in the clash of color. This is nothing new. But it has acquired a new significance with the white man's assumption of superior and indebted rights based on the superiority of the race. The Oriental, who for a time admitted and acquiesced with almost total牲耻 resignation in the white man's superiority, denies it today. denies it sometimes passionately—for all his atavistic instincts, reacting against the aggressive impact of the Occidental civilization, rebels as never before against it, sometimes contemptuously, because increasing intercourse, has made him too familiar with the seamy side of our civilization, sometimes because he has assimilated enough of its inner ideals to claim the rights of equal partnership, in all that is best of it. So long as personal Intercourse between the Occidental and the Oriental was confined within very narrow limits, the white man had much less stress than he does today on mere racial superiority. To India, for instance, England has sent out on the whole her best. Increased Difficulties Social intercourse between people of different beliefs and different customs and different domestic institutions was always difficult, but it has become far more difficult with increased facilities of communication and the introduction of modern natural scientific appliances and industrial trading methods, necessitating the employment in subordinate capacities of a type of European with whom the Orient was latheto unfamiliar, with plenty of good qualities, but rather breeding and education to boast of their racial superiority and to impress their sense of it somewhat roughly upon the Indians with whom they rub shoulders. It cannot be denied that racial hatred has often had its origin in the manner caused by personal insults to which the natives of Oriental countries of good position have occasionally been subjected by white men who trained themselves, but were not their betters. Industrial competition, of the same time, has intensified so rapidly all the world over that the troop has been engaged with a great loss of life, should be swamped by the cheaper labor and lower standards of life of the countless millions of the result which it has itself equipped to become its competitors. I have touched only on that part of the Orient which has been for many centuries interlocked in history with the Occident, but the same line of racial cleavage is deepening even in those countries of the further Orient. Ching and Japan, which have lived their own lives, almost within the memory of living man, in almost complete isolation from the Occident. In America, you have the color problem in your very midst, you have it against at your doors in the shape of Atlasian immigration. We in Europe are confronted with it along the great borderland of the Occident, and Orient, extending through northern Africa and across western and central Asia, from the northwestern Atlantic to the shore of the Indian Ocean and even beyond. Its solution bristles with difficulties, but for my own part I refuse to dismiss it as unsolvable. To the Editor of the Negro World: Having read in your last issue an address delivered by Dr. Holly, who was presented by Bishop McGuite, I beg to state that I am greatly enthused on his outlining of Healti. I read with satisfaction his quotation from Wendell Phillip on *Toussaint L'Overture*, Haitian martyr, statesman and opener of freedom for the Negroes of the Western World. My only regret is that he did not give us the entire oration. I beg, therefore, that it may be given in your next issue, or some enlightenment as to where it can be purchased. We who are born in this Western World have but little idea of the history of this great and noble men of purity. Through the teaching of the U. N. I. A. by its broadminded officers we are expecting to be equipped with the knowledge denied us. ARTHUR E. WILLIAMS. New York City. WHEN SLAVE TRADE FLOURISHED IN GREAT BRITAIN Blacks as Well as Whites Sold in London—Came to an End Only in 1834 in London A correspondent, a reader of The Negro World, living in London, has sent us the following interesting article from a London newspaper he does not name, the facts in which will be interesting as well as informative to our readers. "Londoners who may have read with some surprise that slave trading is calling for the action of our navy in the Red Sea should not forget that, up to the end of the eighteenth century, slave-trading was a flourishing industry in London itself. "A black girl, who was eleven years of age, extremely handy," and who spoke English, and did needlework, was put up for sale at the Angel Inn, behind St. Clement's Church, in the Strand, in 1769; and about this time thousands of slaves were bought and sold yearly by London merchant companies. Some were kept for work in England, but most were sent to the plantations in America. "In 1728 a Negro boy was advertised for sale in the 'Daily Journal'; intending purchasers were advised to inquire at the Virginia Coffee House, Threadneedle street. "A mixed lot," consisting of tapestry, a good charlot, and a black girl of fifteen," was sold at Crosby Hall; and at Dennis' Coffee House, in Finch Lane, near the Royal Exchange, a black boy, fit to wait on a gentleman, was auctioned. "The South Sea Company, an enterprise founded by an English peer in 1711, catalogued slaves amongst the spices, silks, tobacco and other foreign produce which were then England's newly discovered imports. "Less than 600 years ago, on the Thames-side quays, and in the workshops and bondhouses of Greenhithe and Rotherhithe, Londoners themselves labored in chains and fetter slaves or "villains" of the ruling classes. "The Saints, too, were sold into slavery from London. After the battle of Worcester-a great number of Scottish prisoners were brought to the city. Many of them died and were buried in Torrhill Fields, 'at the cost of 30 shillings,' but the rest were sold to merchants as slaves for the Barbados plantations. "It was not until 1854, when slavery was abolished, that slave dealing as a business really came to an end in London, and then the British taxpayer spent over 20,000,000 pounds in giving freedom to more than 200,000 slaves. W. H." BRITISH EXPLOITATION RUINING GOLD COAST Salaries and Wages Provided for Englishmen at Expense of Natives—More Self-Government Needed (From the Gold Coast Times) It is unerring instinct that has led our people all along to set their faces to the task of freeing themselves from political disabilities before anything else, since that is the first step towards national advancement. No country nor any race has ever advanced and prospered without having exercised effective control over the management of its own domestic affairs. It is a remarkable circumstance that people living under democratic rule have made more rapid progress and become more prosperous and powerful than those protect the republics in depotitions. Those in the United States of America, the patriots, the white democratic country in the world, which is one of the prosperous and powerful. And there is Great Britain, which has been growing as prosperous and powerful with the growth of democratic control. While on the other hand we have Russia, a larger territory than either of the two states allowed to, with its teeming millions lagging miserably behind because its people have been under the heel of autocracy. All this supports the point, that however energetic a race may be, its progress must be hindered and its career rendered a checkered one so long as it struggles under a despotic government. The history of this country during the last six years shows painfully the effects of despotic rule on the fortunes of a race. The people of this country have never toiled harder than in the last six years, but the fruits of their labors are enjoyed by members of another race, and it is quite true to say that today they are poorer than they were before the war. We know what we are talking about because we are one of the people and know their actual condition and can, therefore, speak on the subject with more authority than those who fare sumptuously in castles and indulge in indicting rosette dispatches to mislead people in Britain. The cause of the growing impoverishment of the masses can be traced to the system of government here, which vests a monarch with powers to impose his will upon a whole race and to apply the national resources upon enterprises which have not popular sanction. Of course, if the public revenues are applied to ruinous enterprises, taxation must consequently be kept at a high level in order to finance the ambitious schemes, and in a country like the Gold Coast, where the earnings of the average native are small, crippling taxation, such as we are subject to, actually operates to the impoverishment of the people. an alien power which has assumed the trusteeship for a backward race can be said to be discharging its obligations satisfactorily when it takes more out of the country under its protection than it puts into it. And the question which British statesmanship—which the Secretary of State for the Colonies, who administers the dependencies on behalf of Great Britain, should ask himself—is: "Are we putting more into the countries under our protection than we are taking out of them?" The liony of the situation is that between 1858 and 1869 or thereabouts, when the imperial government was contributing, a Parliamentary grant of between £3,000 and £4,000 a year toward the administration of the U.

That we are spending £100,000 in salaries to white workmen at Takorad during the current financial year shows the implication of "development" in these days. "There is no doubt as to more being taken out of the country than is being put into it, and this continual subtraction must lead to the utter impoverishment of the race. As we have said, all this is due to the governmental system, and it is but the essential thing that the people have set themselves to do by working steadily to that position in which they will become the masters of their own household under the egals of Great Britain.
