THE VICIOUSNESS OF NEGROES IN OPPOSING EACH OTHER
Fellow Men of the Negro Race, Greeting: My message to you this week is one of explanation, because I think it necessary for the better enlightenment of all concerned. As President-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, the leading Negro organization in the world, it is my duty at all times to bring before you conditions as they do exist and affect us.
Sr.ey of Race Conditions
After a thorough and careful survey of race conditions within the last five years, and especially that period immediately following the war, we discovered that in time, and shortly, there would have been a severe industrial and economic reaction in the United States of America and the Western world, to affect terribly the existence of our people. We realized that the abnormalities that existed industrially would gradually pass away, leaving the bulk of our people the greatest sufferers. Anticipating that, we were forced as
should be relieved and the anticipated suffering of the people be prevented, or at least alleviated. It was in that wise that we decided on the African colonization plan of helping to build up Liberia and other West African countries industrially as places where Negroes from the Western world could settle, finding their permanent homes and helping themselves to a greater industrial expansion. Having this in view the association organized its African expeditions and within the last twelve months more energy was put into the proposition to make it a success. To carry this out in a practical and business way, several missions were sent to Africa; one in 1920, two in 1921, and the third in 1923, at a cost of over $40,000. The missions were instructed to arrange for certain rights and concessions which could be used by the association for the carrying out of its industrial program in Africa. Such concessions were arranged and the association was advised to promote the plan above referred to.
Carrying Out a Proposition
After due publicity was given to the proposition and the association undertook to spend large sums of money for the carrying out of the idea, the usual group of Negro obstructionists in this country, working in conjunction with other narrow-minded Negroes, started to undermine and block every effort in the direction of making the proposition a success.
Recently the association undertook to assist in building up the Republic of Liberia industrially as a natural homeland for the dissatisfied of the race and in this direction a proper organization was perfected. According to arrangements a group of expert engineers as well as consignments of materials were shipped away, costing the association over $30,000. In the face of this, the same group of Negro obstructionists who have always blocked every legitimate effort to assist the race, started to use their influence to prevent the plan going through to the extent that they have sought to misrepresent the association to the British, French and Liberian governments as to bring about a terrible situation that cannot be easily overcome. The group of obstructionists have been our leaders in public life for many decades. Their selfishness has been so marked as to leave them without credit for one real substantial act of benefit to the people. To the contrary, they have waxed fat and rich at the expense of the poor masses and so now that the Universal Negro Improvement Association attempts to do something to benefit the entire race, we find them making every effort and using their energy to thwart the plan.
Hinderances to Our Race
It is sad to say, that the Negro leader, generally the big preacher, politician and professional man, is the greatest

hinderance to the progress of his race. He refuses to do anything out of the ordinary course to assist his race and will not help on the part of anyone else. This narrow-mindedness and selfishness has caused us now to be in a condition bordering on our economic destruction, for there is no ignoring the fact that all over the country, especially in the big cities, you can now find hundreds of thousands of our people out of work, without any immediate hope of employment. The very churches that some of these preachers lead cannot be properly supported because of the non-employment of a large number of the members. The cry everywhere is, "No work among our people," and yet these so-called leaders will go out of their way to obstruct and destroy every effort that would seek to bring relief in this direction. When it is revealed that these so-called leaders have gone out of their way to send false and misrepresenting letters to the British and French governments and to the Liberian government asking them to block and prevent the carrying out of the plan of the Universal Negro Improvement Association in Africa, for the industrial development of these countries, you will easily see how vicious and wicked these men are. They have not only done that but they have tried to use and are using certain political connections with those unworthy white men in governmental office to handicap and destroy commercially the Universal Negro Improvement Association as evidenced in the infamous letter that was written to Harry Daugherty, late Attorney-General of the United States, asking to imprison Marcus Garvey and destroy the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and as written to the English and French colonial governments in the West Indies and Africa pointing out to them that it was the intention of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and Marcus Garvey to undermine and destroy the existing governments of those powers in the colonies and in Africa, communications for which the man Samuel Duncan was responsible, working in conjunction with the same group above referred to. The men who have done these things and are still doing them are the so-called leaders of the race, the intellectuals who claim to possess a superabundance of learning.
False Leaders
What can the common people expect when their so-called leaders and educated men will stoop to the performance of such acts as to embarrass the entire race in their spite and desire to injure one whom they may be jealous or afraid of. Not only are these men wickedly inclined in this direction, but their dishonesty to their own race is so marked as to leave the impression upon other races that there is nothing good in us.
It was the same group of political gangsters who prevented Liberia from getting the five million dollars that was sought from the United States some years ago. Not only was President Harding willing to let Liberia have the five million dollars, but the Senate was willing, until it was discovered that these political grafters would have collected 25 per cent. of the amount for commission and graft, discovery of which caused the Senate to refuse to sanction the loan. These are the men who hold themselves as patriots and
leaders of the people; these men are the men who have been fighting the Universal Negro Improvement Association; these are the men who stand in the way of a higher development, and so today I think it no more than duty to call upon the masses to bestir themselves and be awake, for if the people, do not start out now to exercise the power that rests in our hands that of repudiating these unscrupulous leaders, it will simply mean that another decade our condition will be such as to prevent our further helpless ourselves.
Negro Own Enemy
It is sad to admit it, but it is a fact that the Negro is his own greatest enemy. These Negro politicians and preachers who have been opposing the Universal Negro Improvement Association are worse than any enemy that we could encounter anywhere. That we have been handicapped in carrying out our work is not directly traceable to the white man, but it is positively traceable to the enemies that we have in our own race. The idea of men calling themselves leaders writing to foreign and powerful governments to take steps to block the development of their own race, and yet these so-called leaders will go back to the churches and preach to us about Heaven and God and the love they have for their people to get there after they have already created the world and brought them to desert such leaders and let them starve and die by the wayside. Can we recommend the political leaders of our race? Can we recommend the many preachers of our race who have been so selfish and inconsiderate? It is impossible. We recommend men of character and purpose, with a love and devotion to their people but not such as we have referred to.
People Should Open Their Eyes
It is time that the people open their eyes North, East, West and South, and see that the salvation of the race depends on themselves and not upon these unscrupulous leaders who have been in their way for nearly a half century. It is not that we fear these men that we recount these things. Because ultimately the Universal Negro Improvement Association is bound to triumph, but it is the hindrance and unnecessary barriers placed in our way, because our work would have been much easier if we had not such encounters. The Negro must realize that our leaders are selfish and wicked. If we must triumph, we must do so without their assistance. They haven't the soul of race consciousness as leaders of other races have; they haven't the patition of race as other leaders have. It is the selfish effort of our leaders to reach the top at the expense of others that has caused the race to suffer, and the poor unfortunate masses of our people must pay the price. If you doubt me, take a proper count of the men who lead you in your community and find out the difference between them and the people led. You will find that their leadership always results in their enrichment, while the poor people stagnate and in many cases go backward. Take your so-called big preachers all over the country. You will find them all rich men whilst the congregations remain poverty stricken without any hope of relief when bad conditions affect their community. Such are the men who are fighting from the pulpit and platform the effort of the Universal Negro Improvement Association to save the people. They fight us because they believe we are going to remove large numbers of people from the communities where they have waxed fat and rich to climes far beyond their reach where it will not be so easy for them to exploit them. It is that selfish purpose, it is that narrow-mindedness that has driven them to the extreme of doing what has been recounted. The Negro politician is no better in the same direction. He uses the people only for the convenience of what their voting strength is worth to him. Outside of that there is no interest and as the selfish preacher would resort to underhand and unscrupulous means to get rid of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, so does the politician.
Evils We Have to Fight
These evils we have to fight and it is well that we know them. With all that has been done, however, the Universal Negro Improvement Association stands firm and determined to carry out its program and intends to fight to the bitter end to secure permanently and progressively this struggling and suffering race of ours. We can only emancipate ourselves, after we succeeded in laying a strong and solid economic foundation; hence we are all appeal to every member of the organization and member of the race to help the organization to put over its industrial plans. We want ships and more ships to help us reach the different groups of our people around the world, to trade among them, to take their produce from one section to the next and to build up an international commercialism upon which we can successfully build ourselves as a race and people. Let us do this and do it now. The weapon of freedom is in our own hands as the masses, and if we get together as such, we can put over any kind of a program that we want. The program now is for ships. Let us have the help that is necessary.

* “Before “entering on the discussion’ of the subjects above out-§,
lined, the convention received the reports of the delegates and
deputies regarding general conditions in their respective communi- ||
ties as they .affected their particular group and in their relation
to the Universal Negro Improvement Association. In this respect
there was_a striking observance of the changes which have been
wrought since the Universal Negro Itnprovement Association came
into existence. Whereas at the first convention, the reports con-
veyed tales of oppression, humiliation and abuse imposed on
Negroes, there was almost an absence of these abominable condi- ||
tions revealed in the report at this convention, demonstrating that |.
the influence of tht associdtion has been instrumental in bringing |
about a better understanding between the races in all parts of the!
world, and in uplifting the status of the Negro wherever “he may |
be found. Ft i
The reports dwelt chiefly on the status of the various divisions of
the association represented at the convention. They were on the |
whole very encouraging and showed the growing strength of the! ,
movement despite the opposition it has reccived and the impediments
put in the way of its progress, ‘chiefly by enemies within the race
who actuated by jealousy or other evil causes were seeking to-ob- |'
struct it. It was, however,.encouraging to find that these distract- | ,
ing influences were gradually being dissipated’ and- the enemies | \
themselves were finding their way: into the folds of the association. | ‘
. NEGRO POLITICAL UNION ;
The issues discussed were’all of great iniportance.,but pre-eminent |.
mong them was the question of “The Formation of a Negro Po- | #
itical Union.” With one accord the delegates agreed that in the |!

sense of. the convention that the-alleged attitude ofthe Ku Klux

conviction that the solution of the crucial situation is the plan of
‘the Unjversal Negro Improvement Association for securing as

AFTERNOON SESSION, AUG. 4
There was a gonsiderably larger at-
tendance of delegates at their places
when the convention resumed at 2
pom. The deual hymn.and prayers
wore recited by the Hon. President-
General,
The minutes of the previous gessions
were'read by Hon. N G. Thomas, aec-
retary of the convention, after which
on the motion of Delegate W. A. Samp-
aon, of Dayton. 0.,"seconded by Hon.
Freeman Martin, of St, Louts, they
were confirmed with necessary correc-
tions... . 5
‘Tho Speaker then asked-the delegates
to rise and awore them fo accordance
with the constitution, *
‘The Speaker stated that the order
af the day was reports of delegates arid
deputies an touching conditions as they
were charged to lay them before the

and legisiation. He suggested that one
dolegate be elected spokesman foreach

a time limit, . ‘
On the motion of Delegate Martin, of
St. Louts, seconded by Hon. C. H.
Bryant, of Panama, the time limit for
speakers was fixed at five minutes, It
was also decided that delokates speak
from thelr places rather than from the

whereby there fe discrimination shown
against our colored men and women
after landing in Cubs, the whites being
allowed to g0 free while our people are

SIR JOHN EDWARD BRUCE
members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and the readers of The Negro World who borrow and regret of the death of Sir John H. Commander of the Order of the Nile, and The Negro World: Sir Edward has been a time, and he has borne his affliction with him and encouraged through it all by the stress and care of his devoted wife. Universal Negro Improvement Association has devoted member and worker than Sir Edward's energy of his splendid ability as a thinker and during the publication of The Daily Negro which newspapers he worked in sympathetic editor, and his staff. It is difficult to estimate by the association and by The Negro World. He was a tower of strength, still in his treatment of men and measures. Lord of The Negro World has known Sir B. H., having met him in Washington when he Florida to attend Howard University of that time he has found him to be a fruitful journalist. News columns of The Negro World today we read of Sir John Edward Bruce which will be the members of the association and revered.
THE members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and the readers of The Negro World will learn with sorrow and regret of the death of Sir John Edward Bruce, Knight Commander of the Order of the Nile, and Contributing Editor of The Negro World. Sir Edward has been in poor health for a long time, and he has borne his affliction with heroic fortitude, sustained and encouraged through it all by the ceaseless love, watchfulness and care of his devoted wife.
The Universal Negro Improvement Association has had no more sincere and devoted member and worker than Sir Edward. He threw the whole energy of his splendid ability as a thinker and writer into the work of the association, through the columns of The Negro World, and during the publication of The Daily Negro Times, upon both of which newspapers he worked in sympathetic co-operation with the editor, and his staff. It is difficult to estimate the great loss sustained by the association and by The Negro World in the death of Sir Edward. He was a tower of strength, strong, forceful, brilliant, in his treatment of men and measures.
The editor of The Negro World has known Sir Edward nearly forty years, having met him in Washington when he first came North from Florida to attend Howard University in 1874, and during all of that time he has found him to be a fine gentleman and a brilliant journalist. In the news columns of The Negro World today we give an article in appreciation of Sir John Edward Bruce which will be read with interest by the members of the association and readers of The Negro World.

The principle has acted upon affirmatively by all of the civic organizations of the race that have been a year. The fact that the African Methodion church denominations, in their quadrisville and Indianapolis, advised the memberate in their voting in favor of those men, favorable to them, was among the new developments of the year, and put party management before as far as the Negro vote was concealment of President-General Marcus many important questions to be discussed.

DIRECT political action, based upon effective organization, is one of the essentials for the conservation and promotion of the best interests of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and of the Negro race. The principle has been recognized and acted upon affirmatively by all of the representative church and civic organizations of the race that have held their sessions this year. The fact that the African Methodist Episcopal Bethel and Zion church denominations, in their quadrennial meetings at Louisville and Indianapolis, advised the members of the race to discriminate in their voting in favor of those men and measures which were favorable to them, was among the most startling political developments of the year, and put party managers to guessing as never before, as far as the Negro vote was concerned.
The announcement of President-General Marcus Garvey that among the many important questions to be discussed and decided upon by the Fourth International Convention of the Negro People of the World would be the formation of "The Negro Political Union," will be received by the membership of the organization with the seriousness it deserves, when the low political fortunes of the race in this country, and in all countries dominated by white men, is properly considered. The action of the convention is bound to have a far-reaching effect on the political fortunes of the Negro race.
BLACKS WHO THINK WHITE
people everywhere who are proud of the lious of all that is theirs, and instant in the one and the protection of the other, are the have been the people who are the most pre among their fellows. We do not mean, at are display of self-conscious power; we mean display of it. This disposition is greatly more generally cultivated among Negroes.
THAT people everywhere who are proud of themselves and jealous of all that is theirs, and instant in the assertion of the one and the protection of the other, are the people who now and have been the people who are the most progressive and respected among their fellows. We do not mean, at all, an uphill and offensive display of self-conscious power; we mean a dignified and manly display of it. This disposition is greatly lacking and should be more generally cultivated among Negroes.
Strange to say, we have a more general possession and display of this spirit of self-power and manly assertion of it in the Universal Negro Improvement Association than can be found in any other race organization. We need to keep on developing it among the membership because without it the race can amount to little that is necessary and worth while.
The Florida Sentinel has a strong article on this vital question from which we quote the following:
The Negro does not think in terms of his own color, his own people and their life. He thinks white. He reads from a white book, worships a God who is pictured to him as white; he looks upon white actors on the screen; he reads papers by white men with white news in it. He puts his money in a white bank; his employees are white and consequently he thinks that everything on earth must be white to be worthwhile. His own race
is kept back, by oppression, and he thinks that to escape it, he, too, must be white.
He does not think that the book by a black man is as good as a book by a white man. He doesn't think much of the Negro moving picture, nor the Negro actor unless a white man says they're good. The news in a Negro newspaper, of course, is not true, unless it flatters him. He experienced the failure of one Negro bank and three white, but the Negro just can't be a banker. His Negro employer pays him twenty dollars a week, and the white fifteen, but somehow the white man's fifteen is more than the black man's twenty. He lands the work of white artisans but he swears a Negro can't do as they, and the Negro business man who is business-like is simply an "uppish Nigger." Deep in his soul he wishes he belonged to the other race. He thinks white.
THOUSA PEOPLE SAD SEA By T. Thor
The delegates to International Convention Negro People's Office should embrace the while in New York Island, the recreative the more than 60 who make up the Greater New York
The Negro who worships the white man fails utterly to profit from the example of this wonderful people. He does not see that behind the white man's goodness and behind the white man's meanness there is one object in view—the protection of his own, regardless:
Not all the Negroes think white as the Florida Sentinel would have us believe. The membership of the Universal Negro Improvement Association cannot be accused of doing any such fatal thing, and they are teaching other Negroes not to do it. To them black is the supreme color because that is their racial distinction mark, if you will. "Our Father in Heaven," who is not the color of "the Son on earth," cannot be "in the image of" the "Father in Heaven," and the two may not be as one in the vital things of the flesh and of the spirit. If we are black and our ideals are based upon white there will certainly be a crossing of ideals which may not work for the betterment of either.
General Jans Christian Smuts, the iron man of South Africa, who has no love for the native black people, who should have no love for him by the same token, and we don't think that they have, just before he was voted out of the premiership of the Union of South Africa, declared that the natives used to regard white people as gods but that they no longer do so. That is to say, the natives used to think in terms of white, but have been made by injustice and wrong to see and think black; that is, to see and think as they are and for themselves. That is great gain. It is the proper starting point, going on from which they are likely to reach perfection as nearly as they would be likely to fall short of it going in the opposite direction.
The position recently taken by the Universal Negro Improvement Association, that the father and the son must be of the same color, based upon the statement of Jesus that "I and my father are one," has created a great stir in the land, but the doctrine is bound to gain favor, because it appeals not only to the logic, but the common sense of it. Everywhere white people think white; everywhere black people must think black, or they are going to fall far short of all that is good, better and best in living.

It suffers by translation, as there are twoatures, which cannot be translated into as the Negro people are so plenteously of music and oratory, of which poetry is but matter of great satisfaction, and will do fully developed, as they have done music, to help give the race the standing and so which they are entitled and to which Island's Band, which is now touring the Leadership of Captain A.

That it was the marine administration of the Virgin Island of a Negro musician, is a matter to be abilities of which the Island Negroes of Great Britain are capable. We have seen grade, and we have listened in for hours of broadcast, and we have felt a thrill the success which has followed these ofenty of people in the country who heard it toured the United States. It was devolved by Major Walter H. Loving of the League the band obtained in this country, great credit upon the American leader of it equally. The Editor of The Negro mission in the Philippines in 1900, had and be affection in which the people of the island his band. The Negro everywhere to keep on groove of music, of poetry, of song, of oratory him in his splendid inheritance and which him by legislation or hate.
If there is one gift more than another that the Negro people possess in larger measure than the gift of music, of poetry and of song, we have not been able to discover it. The gift of oratory, the gift of speech standing upright on the feet, the gift to attract and hold the attention of large masses of people, the Negro possesses along with the musical gift; but the gift of music and the gift of oratory are so closely akin as to make for oneness. That is to say, music is oratory and oratory is music. The one appeals to and sways us as the other does, with this exception, that music and the attuning of it, its numbers, if, we may so term it, has a universal language of its own, it is the one universal language, whose notes are the same everywhere and therefore within the reach of all those who will take the trouble to master the interpretation of the notes. Music loses nothing by translation, because the language of it is a universal language.
Music differs from oratory in this respect: The language of music is universal, while the language of oratory is racial and tribal and national, and can only be adequately understood in the language it is delivered. It suffers by translation, as there are words, there are tones and gestures, which cannot be translated into any other language. That the Negro people are so plenteously endowed with the gifts of music and oratory, of which poetry is but another related gift, is matter of great satisfaction, and will do much, when they are more fully developed, as they have done much in the undeveloped state, to help give the race the standing among enlightened people to which they are entitled and to which they justly aspire.
The Virgin Islands Band, which is now touring the United States, under the leadership of Captain A. A. Adams, is one of the most creditable race organizations in existence. That it was fostered and nurtured by the marine administration of the Virgin Islands, under the directionship of a Negro musician, is a matter to be considered in the vast possibilities of which the Island Negroes of the United States and of Great Britain are capable. We have seen and heard the land on parade, and we have listened in for hours to its concerts over the radio broadcast, and we have felt a thrill of pride and admiration at the success which has followed these concert broadcasts.
There are plenty of people in the country who heard the Filipino band when it toured the United States. It was developed to the highest efficiency by Major Walter H. Loving of the United States Army. The vogue the band obtained in this country and the Far East reflected great credit upon the American leader and the Filipino members of it equally. The Editor of The Negro World, when on an official mission in the Philippines in 1900, had an opportunity to judge of the affection in which the people of the Islands held Major Loving and his band.
It is up to the Negro everywhere to keep on growing in the precious gifts of music, of poetry, of song, of oratory, wherewith God endowed him in his splendid inheritance and whicht can not be taken away from him by legislation or hate.

Chin-Cough
This may seem a new name for whooping cough, but among some groups of people, it is by no means unusual.
Whooping cough is extremely infectious and is conveyed in the ordinary way by coughing and sneezing and by any other means of putting the secretions of the nose and throat where other children can take them into their mouths. During the paroxysm which sometimes causes vomiting, the virus of the disease may be conveyed to another, either directly into the throat or to the clothing or the objects which may be picked up.

Is it not a terrible-thing to contemplate this enormous loss of life from a disease which it spread in a way which can be avoided? Why do we not concentrate our attention upon such things which mean so much to us? Why do we not insist that our children learn the simple rules of self-protection and the safeguarding of others? Why do not older folks set the correct example? If disease, and death can be prevented by covering, coughs, sneezes and by NOT expectorating improperly, why don't we see to it that these simple precautions are it fulfilled.

The delegates to the Fourth International Convention of the Negro Peoples of the World should embrace the opportunity while in New York to visit Coney Island, the recreation paradise of the more than 6,000,000 people who make up the population of the Greater New York. It is the greatest aid best 6,000,000 people gathered anywhere in one municipality, with better government and better understanding among its one hundred and more race types. There is little race friction in Greater New York. The race is represented in all of the departments of the City government, thanks to the Tammany Hall Democracy and Mayor John F. Hylan, who is as big hearted an American as ever lived and who has come very near wiping out the color line in the politics of Greater New York. We want it that way in all of the cities of the Nation, and we may have it in the long run.
If the delegates should go down to Coney Island and return by steamboat they would see and learn something they would otherwise miss; but they should not miss it.
Last Sunday I went to Coney Island with two friends. We all need companionship. The man who has to flock by himself is always a lonesome and may sometimes be a dangerous creature. We need association one with the other. When we don't need it we are sure to be queer, very queer. And the world is full of queer creatures.
The boat we went down on was crowded with people, all running away from the excessive heat of the big city and seeking a breath of air by "the sad sea waves," as the poet has expressed it. For me there is never any sadness in the sea or its waves. Like Lord Byron, the ocean is always fascinating, always a friend, inviting me to its massive and sympathetic embrace. Every inch of the way on either side of the Narrows there are beautiful forts and villas and landscapes and waiting craft that entertained and distracted, with Bartholdi's Goddess of Liberty looking benignly over it all.
As the steamer neared Coney Island thousands of people, in bathing suits, more or less abbreviated, lined the water front for miles, the people looking from the distance like so many yellow ghosts. It is said there were 600,000 people on the island, many of them in bathing suits and lunging in the water or lounging on "the golden sands," and all seeking relief from the heat. And do you know that all of them looked dark, very dark, a brownish color here and a yellowish color there, which gave me the impression that the vaunted Nordic color, the white color, had got badly mixed with the black color, and was surely fading into something which did not look and could not be classified as Nordic. O you Nordic!
And the thousands who thronged the side streets of Faker Town—they were of all races and colors and tongues—but they were all bidding for trade. Here a bunch of blacks and high browns, there a sickly reddish, there again a whitish group of Takers, bidding to separate us from our pennies, the dear pennies that make the dollars.
All sorts and conditions are to be found at Coney Island on Sunday. They are well behaved, they are tolerant, they are good natured, and they mostly look to be people who are vaguely turning from white to some other color not now easily classified, but not Nordic, not white, but something else.
Coney Island on Sunday—it is a wonderful place to study. human types, human weaknesses, human colors, and to get separated from your money—if you don't watch your steps.
U. N..I. A. SPORT EVENT
Hon. Marcus Garvey to Bowl First Ball at Cricket Match on August 16
At Commerce's Field, Brooklyn, on August 16, an attractive sporting event has been arranged to take place under the auspices of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. An eleven representing the U. N. I. A. will meet an all-star New York eleven in a cricket match at which Hon. Marcus Garvey will bowl the first ball.
Delegates attending the Fourth International are asked to note the following directions: From New York take the Seventh avenue, subway going to Pennsylvania avenue, get off at Kingston avenue, and walk one block to Albany avenue, then south to grounds.
Admission charge is 50 cents and tickets may now be obtained at 56 West 135th street, or at Liberty Mall in the evening. Game starts at 2 p. m.
WHAT WE BELIEVE
It believes in the purity of the Negro race and the purity of the white race. It is against rich blacks marrying poor whites. It is against rich or poor whites taking advantage of Negro women. It believes in the spiritual Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man.
It believes in the social and political physical separation of all people to the extent that they promote their own ideals and civilization, with the privilege of trading and doing business with each other. It believes in the promotion of a strong and powerful Negro nation. It believes in the rights of all men.
EDITORIAL OPINION OF THE NEGRO PRESS
It is our duty to see that the best Black man is selected to run for office. It is further our duty to prevent too many Black men from attempting to secure the same office, thereby dividing our limited vote and rendering it impossible to elect any of our Black candidates—Pacific Defender.
We have increased from 2,000,000 freed in 1865 to nearly 12,000,000 today. But we have not yet spanned the gap between poorly paid common labor and better paid skilled labor. When this is done the Negro in America will be well on the road to economic prosperity. Our business will be progressing as much at the bottom as at the top. Then there will be less tumbling down—Gary Sun.
Hereafter, we will not vote the Republican or Democratic ticket because of party preference, but because of the individual fitness of the candidates—Wheeling (W. Va.) Advocate
This is an age of specialties and specialists. Just as it takes studious training to acquire the gentle art of plugging a tooth 'or amputating' a limb, just so does it take years of studious training to know what to do to make an investor's dollar bill grow whiskers while "runnin' wild." More training and better training are what we need, and we need them with interest before we can successfully build structural business bridges or outgrace the combination of a bank vault. It takes more than brains to handle corporate stock, and it calls for something more than a college degree for a man to know how to supervise the business of a steam laundry. That something is more training—better training in the plain, practical, honest-to-goodness principles of business—Denver Star.
Any one visiting our city must be favorably impressed by the beautiful appearance of homes and surroundings occupied by our group. New buildings are going up everywhere and newly painted and reconstructed
Marcus Garvey, President-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, offers one reasonable suggestion. He says: "God tells us to worship Him in our own image. We are black, and to be in our image. God must be black."
He insists, therefore, on a black God for colored people, with black saints, and in addition, demands the whole of Africa for the colored race.
Mr. Garvey's idea of adapting God to the racial color is not, entirely new. Missionaries in Africa long ago showed divine personages with black faces in order to make it easier to convert the Africans. Their primitive minds could not in a hurry get used to the idea of a white-faced divinity.
Today, on the edge of the Mediterranean, in northern Africa, you might see a famque holy image, set black, offering comfort to many darkskinned Christian mariners. The color pleases them and doubtless does not annoy any Jivine being.
Similarly, good missionaries among the North American Indians, in their preaching, emphasized those parts of the Old Testament telling of the Lord's
homes are very much in evidence. The lawn with weeds and long grass is the exception and not the rule.' The point up and clean up drive of the last spring months is still being carried on by the Race home owner and it is said to his or her credit that colored people's homes in the city of Omaha are among the very best kept and some of the prettiest.—Omaha New Bra.
The Negro newspaper is the black man's only forum where an impartial hearing is guaranteed. It is not a luxury, but one of the most pressing necessities of his age. The Negro who refuses to sustain an honest race journal is blind to his best interest.—Warsaw Sun.
Luck means the hardships and privations which you have not hesitated to endure; the faithful hours you have devoted to work; the appointments you have never failed to keep and the trains you have never failed to catch. —Tampa Bulletin.
The advanced age we live in is good for the children. The radio, automobile and advancements of science are all widening the range of the child and its mental interests, which is a good step. That is all part of the education of the child that is continually going on, whether upward or downward. And because no one can prevent or stop this education for a moment, it is up to the modern mother to see that, it is the right sort—that her children are getting a square deal out of life. —Detroit Independent.
Edward Dalladier, Minister of the French Colonies, said at the "inauguration," as they call it: that 800,000 black troops 'fought for France and that 30,000 of them were killed on the battlefield. It is worth while to die for a country like France. The United States should be such a country, but it is far from being so. Norfolk Journal and Guide.

battles and victories and the great number KILLED on each occasion. They realized that Indians would be converted to a victorious FIGHTING god much more easily than to any peaceful, forgiving delity. Men WORSHIP what they, RESPECT and what they consider to be fairly good imitations of themselves.
As to the blacks OWNING AFRICA, that's surely reasonable. Its their country.
Incidentally they have owned it, all except a few thousand years, for endless centuries. Even in Egypt, where the Protemies were merely "new rich" and the Egyptians rank intruders, the black race ruled once. "Their traits are proved in the Ethiopian face, the thick lips, high cheekbones of the Sphinx. Mr. Garvey says, "When the white men were living in caves, we Negroes gave them a civilization that they snatched away from us." There may be something in that. Some historians agree, in part, with Mr. Garvey.
But civilization belongs to him who has it, and knows how to use it. The Japanese seek to take it from us and improve on it. Honor to them, if they make a better success of it.
CATE INCREASED INTEREST IN UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION
ENEMIES OF MOVEMENT ARE DENOUNCED—FIVE THOUSAND PEOPLE UNANIMOUSLY PASS RESOLUTION TO PETITION CONGRESS—STEPS TO BE TAKEN TO CURB THE ENEMIES' EVIL SCHEMES
WAR DECLARED ON DU BOIS AND THE N. A. A. C. P. ALL THE POWER OF THE U. N. I. A. WILL BE THROWN INTO THE FIGHT
LIBERTY HALL, New York, Sunday Night. August 10.—Increased interest in the Universal Negro Improvement Association created by the convention which is now in session, was demonstrated by the tremendous gathering that attended tonight's meeting. Sunday night in Liberty Hall is always looked forward to as a big event in the lives of Negroes in New York City, who grasp the opportunity of hearing first hand the messages that are sent over the world and to which Negroes everywhere look for inspiration, but convention time brings them together in considerably larger numbers that tax Liberty Hall to its capacity. So it was tonight.
The usual program of musical numbers and the exercises of the military and other units of the organization, preceded the speeches. The speakers tonight were: Hon. Dr. J. J. Peters, president of the Chicago Division; Hon. W. A. Wallace, commissioner of the State of Illinois, and Hon. William Sherrill, second assistant president-general, each of whom held the audience with breathless attention as he spoke of the virtues of the movement, and denounced the enemies who are seeking to destroy it.
To emphasize how the membership of the association is taking cognizance of the attempts that are being made by the enemies of the association to embarrass it and its leader, Hon. Marcus Garvey, a resolution was unanimously passed before the meeting closed, authorizing the drafting of a petition to the Congress of the United States of America praying for a congressional investigation into the acts of certain Federal agents in relation to the Universal Negro Improvement Association. The discussion on this matter is as follows:

It is then put to the great gather- er 5,000 assembled.
Hon. F.

Be it resolved, That we, the delegates attending the Fourth Annual International Convention of the Negro peoples of the world, petition the Hon. Congress of the United States, of America for a Congressional investigation into the acts of certain Federal agents of the district of New York, who have allowed themselves to be used by Negro politicians, and rivals of the Universal Negro Improvement Association to handicap and impede its efforts in working for a feasible and workable solution of the Negro problem, and that such investigation be made immediately.
Hon. J. J. Peters, Chicago, said: "Fellow strugglers, realizing that the petition to the United States Congress is based upon the truth and that the Universal Negro Improvement Association is bound to an actual solution of the race problem, and recognizing that there are certain crooked leaders, white and black, who are attempting to destroy the morale of this organization. I respectfully beg, in the name of the Lord, and in the name of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, to second the motion."
The motion was then put to the great gathering and carried unanimously by over 5,000 assembled.
JAIL NO DETERRENT
Hon. Marcus Garvey said, owing no address, and announced that avention he would present his rep would be followed by an address marks: The enemy don't seem to me at all.

Hon. Marcus Garvey said, owing to the late hour, he would make no address, and announced that at the next day's session of the convention he would present his report, which, at the evening session, would be followed by an address. He then made the following remarks: The enemy don't seem to understand they cannot embarrass me at all. Their persecution does not affect me one bit because I am tuned to the supreme sacrifice for the principles of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. (Applause.) As I told them the other day at Carnegie Hall, the jail can go to hell where Marcus Garvey is concerned, in the fight for the principles of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Only cowards and crooks, thieves and thugs are afraid of jail. Men who have principles to uphold and sacred trusts and responsibilities do not care about jail, the cross, nor the grave. They only care about those sacred principles that mean so much to the human race. And the fellows who are fighting me do not realize they cannot fight the spirit of four hundred million Negroes. (Loud applause and cheers.) They ought to realize that Marcus Garvey cannot be cowed or scared. The principles of the Universal Negro Improvement Association must live, and as long as I have breath in my body, I shall give it to the cause. Those who are fighting the Universal Negro Improvement Association will get what is coming to them sooner or later. (Loud and prolonged applause.)
HON. J. J. PETERS' ADDRESS
The first speaker is the text of the speeches:
The first speaker was Hon. Dr. J. J.
Peters, president of the Chicago Division,
who spoke on "The Scientific Applica-
tion of the Principle of the Survival of the Fittest." He began by
drawing an illustration to show that
if anything which had life—man and
animal—lived to maturity, within a
hundred years from today there would
be no room in this world for them all.
The same holds true, said he, with or-
ganizations. If all the Negroes who
have had a notion of some solution of
the Negro problem—if all the Negroes
who have attempted to bring about an
organization in the world had suc-
ceeded there would be scarcely any

room for more organizations among Negroes. The law of the survival of the fittest, observed the speaker, was a natural law, and it was the intention of the Universal Negro Improvement Association to apply it as against the enemies of the association, who seemed determined to crush it.
"Referring specifically to the N. A. A. C. P. Dr. Peters said if the N. A. A. C. P. is more fit to survive, then it shall live; if it not then it would have to die." We are here tonight, continued the speaker, "to execute the law of the survival of the fittest by fighting every Negro organization, every business man every politician who has assumed a vicious attitude against the U. N. I. A. and we shall
not cease until the truth is told." The law of the survival is a necessity; we must fight in order to live; we must struggle against adversity in order to survive, and if we failed to struggle we would die naturally. He wanted Dr. Du Bois and those of his liko to know that the U. N. L. A. was going to fight them to a standstill; "if they are going to fight us" he declared, "we are going to fight them back because we have got the power to fight back." The N. A. A. C. P., said Dr. Dr. was started some 16 years ago; the U. N. I. A. only recently. We had attempted to do nothing to them, but they have attempted to destroy us. If the success of the U. N. I. A. had created jealousy this organization was not responsible for that, but it would hold itself responsible in seeing to it that the organization was preserved. It was not so much the white people who are fighting the U. N. I. A., but it was the crooked politicians among the race who were far more dangerous, and who could really do more harm than the white man. Those Negroes may be used to offset our aspirations and may be used to destroy us more conveniently than any white man could; therefore, it should be the duty of the U. N. I. A. to find them out, and with the strength that is behind the organization crush them out of existence in order that 'the race may go forward.
In conclusion, he admonished his hearers not to be afraid, but just bind their forces together, fight the enemy and execute the law of the survival of the fittest in order that the Universal Negro Improvement Association may be preserved.
HON. W. A. WALLACE SPEAKS
The next speaker was Hon. W. A. Wallace, commissioner for the State of Illinois. He said this was the hour when the U. N. L. A. is calling upon every man and woman, connected with it to stand fast by the principles of the organization; to stand firm in the determination that this great program for the redemption of 400,000,000 Negroes, for the protection, advancement and improvement of Negroes everywhere, is to be carried forward regardless of the obstacles and inconveniences that might surround it. He felt that although we might have enemies on the outside and on the inside, that we should not stop because of them, but that we should become more determined in our hearts to go forward and fight the battle for the freedom and liberty of those with whom we are concerned. Too much sacrifice had already been made to think of stopping now in the putting over of this great program.
In the operation of this great program, said he, opposition was bound to come; that was calculated upon in the very beginning, and having been calculated upon, it was their determination to go forward regardless of obstacles which may be met. So tonight they were calling upon every Negro throughout the length and breadth of this country and the world to stand by the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. No program that was produced by human beings was perfect; being human they were liable to err, and why, in the name of God, should a few Negroes expect that an organization that is struggling to free the Negro from the bondage that has held them so long should be able to put into execution a perfect program right away. "We are conscious of the fact," said Mr. Wallace, "that mistakes may be made from time to time, but we will use those mistakes as stepping stones to future greatness and will continue to press forward until we shall have achieved the point that we are out to achieve." When we realize that throughout this country and the world Negroes have been handicapped in their advancement, limited in their aspirations and thwarted in their attempts to do the things they want to do for themselves; when we take into consideration that in the United States of America, where they pay as much taxes as other citizens, they get in return only a small portion of what they are entitled to receive; when we look on every hand and see how our people are suffering, there was no compromise for putting into effect the doctrine of the Universal Negro Impervament association the world over, and it is hard to think that in trying to put over this program there should be found men and women who call themselves leaders who are attempting to destroy a movement that means the salvation of this race of ours; that means the protection of this race of ours, that means the advancement of this race of ours, that means everything for this race of ours, that will bring it up out of the darkness and place it into the light of accomplishment as other races in the world have accomplished to their benefit in the world.
The man: said Mr. Wallace, who stood forth and said he did not know anything about this movement, with all the furore that it has created in the world, with all the daily papers and great magazines in the United States of America and in Europe talking about Marcus Garvey and the Garvey movement, was not fit to stand in any pulpit, or on any platform, and tell Negroes what they ought to do. With the thousands gathered here tonight, and with the thousands, in Chicago-New Orleans, Detgott, and in the islands of the sex, gathered at the same hour, listening to hear the message that comes from New York.
circling around the world, as pertaining to this great race of oura, all we have to do is to stand by, take hold of the Red, the Black and the Green, and go forward, saying that under it we will win victory or die in the attempt.
The speaker told a story in which a monkey was accustomed to watch the engineer on a railroad train operate the engine, and one day, while the engineer was away, the monkey, seeing what had been done to put the engine in motion, went through the same operations, with the result that the engine moved on full speed on the track. The engineer heard the bell of the engine ringing and, seeing what had happened, telephoned to the next station to clear the track, for the monkey was on the main line. "What we are telling the world tonight," said Mr. Wallace, "is that Marcus Garvey is at the throttle and the train moving down the line. Clear the track, for the Negro is on the main line." (Applause.)
SIR WILLIAM SHERRILL'S
ADDRESS
Sir William Sherrill spoke aa follows:
The Universal Negro Improvement Association that has for the past six years been starting the world and awakening Negroes is not an organization that just happened. The Universal Negro Improvement Association is, by no means an accident. There is behind this organization much thought, much dreaming, much meditation. There is behind this organization much planning and arranging. The great organization that the world sees today the great organization which has been instrumental in raising your hopes to that point where you feel now you have everything to live for, is an organization that has been born of much thought and meditation. It is an organization that has been organized not simply because somebody had an idea, not simply because somebody wanted to organize something, not simply because somebody had an ambition to push forward themselves or aggrandize themselves but an organization born out of the cool calculation of one of the members of the race the organization has come to serve.
Having behind it much planning and deliberation and meditation, the Universal Negro Improvement Association is able to present to Negroes a definite program that has been well thought out, a program that has been well planned, a program the leaders of which have taken into calculation every obstacle that may come up in the way, every bend there may be in the road, every mountain we may have to climb, and every river we may be called upon to span.
Wanting the Same Thing Always!
Wanting the Same Thing Always'
The Universal Negro Improvement Association does not repose on a group of Negroes who want one thing in 1920 and then another thing in 1921, and another thing in 1922, and so on. The same thing that Negroes wanted in the Universal Negro Improvement Association in 1920 they want today. The same thing that they want today they will continue to want until the wants of the Negro of the twentieth century have been satisfied in the establishment of a government of their own where they will realize their ambition of their wants and the ambition of their desires.
Removing the Root of Suffering Those who gave birth to the organization were those who studied the problem of the Negro not only in America, but in the West Indies; they had studied the problem of the Negro in Europe, they had studied the problem of the Negro in Africa. They had found out there was one fundamental cause for Negro suffering and Negro oppression. They had found out that Negro suffered not only in America, but Negroes suffered wherever they happened to be domiciled and wherever they came in contact with the other fellow, and the conclusion was reached that the reason why this black man suffers in not that his skin is black and his hair woolly, the reason why this black man suffers is because he is living in a material age and he finds himself weak, ignorant and unorganized, being unable to protect himself so a race; that the majority group wherever the Negro will become part and parcel of that group; that as long as the Negro, whether in Africa, Europe or America, accepts a certain position that the ma-

Only One Objective
If Africa Went
I see nothing wrong with the program but the countries that control Africa have been working earnestly and globally to see to it that the Universal Negro Improvement Association does not spread its propaganda in Africa. Europe today is a backdrop if Africa were to work in Africa beneath the Atlantic and the Pacific. Europe tomorrow morning would be dominant. It is upon Africa that England is depending; it is upon Africa that France is depending that Italy and Belgium and Portugal are depending in order to build up her hands. Europe has gone

into her mountains so much that she has almost exhausted all its metals; she has had to cut her wood so often that forests only grow now under certain forms of forestry cultivation; she has tiled and retiled her land so much that now it only produces when highly fertilised. Her population is increasing, and Europe finds it necessary to lay hands on some virgin country to resuscitate her exhausted treasures, to rebuild her towns and cities, and she looks to Africa. Europe is dependent upon our home for a livelihood. England has therefore, started a very uffful fight against the Universal Negro Improvement Association, in many of her territories not even allowing the Negro World to go in because the Negro World carries "dangerous propaganda."
"Dangerous Propeganda"
Dangerous Propaganda
Any propaganda that tells black men that the time has come to redeem the continent for themselves is dangerous propaganda France has been equally busy in seeing to it that the Universal Negro Improvement Association spread not its propaganda in the French Colonial possessions. The countries of Europe have been anxious to spend large sums of money to see it that the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association makes little or no progress in that great continent. We would expect opposition from England; we would expect opposition from France. England is only trying to protect the country that is hers. England is only trying to preserve the civilization that she loves. England is only trying to perpetuate English ideals and to see it to that English posterity will always enjoy a plague in the sun, and will be able to hand down to her children a rich heritage.
Why They Oppose
We can see why England would fight the Universal Negro Improvement Association. We can see why Europe would oppose the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association—France today, whose birth rate is below her death rate, is struggling in order that she may live. France today being surrounded by enemies on all sides who are waiting for the next chance to take back land that France has stolen from them is anxious at all times to safeguard and preserve the independence of the intelligents and the progress of France. We can see why France would oppose the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Millions of dollars from Africa in law materials are ammunition are turned into the coffees of France and the coffers of England. But the Universal has set its eye on the good, and if it is determined to fight, We were not organize to fight the white man.
the brown man or the yellow man we have caught a vision and we have started out to redeem Africa for the black man, and whatever happens whatever obstacle arises in the path of seven million Negroes of the universal Negro Improvement Association on the road toward the realization of its ambition we are prepared to destroy it tooth and nail. (Applause.) Sometimes it is necessary to tear down in order to build up. Sometimes you prop an old building up on one side and a little later you try to tear the old building up by patching and propping, and then you realize you must tear it down and rebuild. Race's Fortunes Lie with U. N. L. A.
There is in this country a group of Negroes who from the moment this organization came into being have set themselves as stumbling blocks in its way. Suppose they succeeded in destroying the Universal Negro Improvement Association, what does it mean, to these Negroes? What does it profit the race? If the Negroes who are trying to destroy the Universal Negro Improvement Association succeeded, their success means France's success, their success means England's success, their success means the success of the very agency that is trying to keep the Negro down. What does it profit these Negroes to place obstacles in the way of the organization so that it will not be able to carry out in Africa its great program of industrial and commercial development? What will they gain? Now, those of you who don't belong to the Universal Negro Improvement Association, let me say to you, whatever benefits the Negro in the organization benefits the Negro on the outside. And the thing outs both ways. Whatever hell the Negro in the organization gets the Negro on the outside gets the same. The successful putting over of the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association should be a vital concern if
Judithy Inspires
Do you know the basis, culture, and opposition the U. N. L. A. has encountered has been founded upon the jealousy of the near-sighted leaders who for 25 or 30 years have been trying to lead the race and never had brains enough to strike upon a real program? At the base of all Marcus Garvey's persecution is jealousy. How dare Marcus Garvey, say some of these follows, come from the West Indian islands to tell us Americans how to reform the race? Let me tell you, I am an American Negro, born under this Southern psychology. And let me repeat something that I have said before. Whether Marcus Garvey had (Continued on page 13)

relation, death has claimed another devoted member of the
station. Sir John Edward Bruce, Knight, Commander of the
sir of the Nile, and long Contributing Editor of The Negro
sir died at Bellevue Hospital, in New York City, Thursday,
at 7, at 3:15 p. m., in the sixty-seventh year of his age. He
buried from Liberty Hall, in New York City, Sunday, August
at 1 p. m., under the auspices of the Universal Negro Improve-
t Association and with Masonic honors.
Subjects concerning the life and work of Sir Edward, incorporated in the following sketch, were furnished by Prof. John W. Cromwell of Washington, D. C., Mr. Arthur Schomberg of Brooklyn, N. Y., and the editor of The Negro World:
BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH
John Edward Bruce was born of
the parents at Piscataqua, Md., Feb-
ruary 22, 1856. It was at a critical
period in those movements which aff-
ected so largely the status and the
purpose of his race. The lad's mother,
when the fame of John Brown was
expanding throughout the land, resting
under the galling yoke of bondage,
became a fugitive. Instead of following
the North Star she came to the Distri-
tion of Columbia, in which she found
male hiding from her pursuers. She
did not need long to continue the pre-
vention that shielded her and her boy
from the oppressor, for the contending
fleece of human liberty and slavery
race in battle array, and the latter.
April 16, 1862. succumbed to the hosta-
s of freedom.
With the dawn of freedom came equation. The National capital was not only a military, camp, but a school of instruction in which thousands of ducky faces, from six to sixty years, were found eagerly pouring from early morn to dewy eve over the "blue back speller," and the "Freeman's Primer." Public schools for the Negro, begun in the District about 1864, were, prior to that date, conducted under the surpises of the Freeman's Aid Societies of the North, and later by the Freedman's Bureau.
Young Bruce attended these, but before they had developed to any degree of efficiency he had to leave school to go to work. He had, however, lightened his torch, and an irresistible desire early in the seventies led him to write for the newspapers. It was his employment in the office of the Washington correspondent of the New York Times that gave him the opportunity to see and observe the ways and methods of newspaper men and that caused the fires that had smothered within him to glow, and the purpose to be a newspaper correspondent to become a ruling passion. Whenever and wherever he could induce the publication of any of his fugitive letters they appeared; but R was no uphill work to secure their publication, for there was individuality and merit about them that was rare for one of his years.
In 1857 Mr. Bruce entered upon the journalistic sea in his own craft, founding, "The Argus," a weekly paper, in Washington. It flourished only for a while. In his malden effort at proprietorship, he was associated with that brilliant winter, Charles N. Otey, of Raleigh, N. C. Three years later Mr. Bruce became editor of "The Sunday Item," which soon was a terror to evildoers, who vainly sought to intimidate him, first by threats, then by a criminal prosecution. The effort miscarried. Mr. Bruce became stronger as a consequence, and when he published "Grit" in 1854 its popularity was found showed. So strongly marked were its contents by fearlessness of expression that the term "Grit" became hereforth linked with his name and the subsequent "Bruce Grit." It was him.

Two years before the appearance of "Grit". Mr. Bruce led a forlorn hope in "The Republican" at Portsmouth, Va., when the political "straight-outs" and "readjusters" were joined in their last combat. In 1856, Mr. Bruce ran up the standard of "the commonwealth" at Baltimore; eleven years later, in 1897 in collaboration with Charles W. Anderson, he published and edited the Chronicle in New York City. For five years, ending in 1901, he was associate editor of "Howard's American Magazine," which is the pioneer of our modern attempts at magazine making.
During all of these years Mr. Bruce was a constant contributor to such papers of the Afro-American Press, the St. Louis World, Indianapolis World Petersburg (Va.) Herald; Virginia (Richmond) Staff-Chicago Conservator, Florida Starinel, North Carolina Enterprise, Star of Zion, Charlotte N. C. and Black and White, Valdaosta, Ga.; New York Freeman and New York Age, Voice of Missions, New York; Elevator, California; Denver (Colorado) Statesman; the Colored American, Kansas City Call and Omaha Monitor. He was editor of the Masonic Quarterly-Review, New York, and contributing editor to The Negro World.
Mr. Bruce did not restrict himself to the United States, but occasionally contributed to the New Age of London, England, the West African Lagon Record, South African Spectator of Capetown, and the Jamaica Advocate of Kingston, Jamaica, the African Times and Orient Review of London. His journalistic ability has also been recognized by the New York press, Buffalo Express, Boston Transcript, New York Times, New York Herald, St. Louis Globe-Democrat, the Washington Evening Star, and other well-known papers.
Mr Bruce was president of the Negro Society for Historical Research, and a member of many other societies, among them the Stylus-Club, of Howard University; Society International, the Philology Science at Beaux Arts African Society, London; Negro Academy, Washington, D.C., and Knight of the Order of African Redemption, Liberia, Africa. He was appointed a Commissioner of the Tennessee Exposition in 1897 by Governor Morton, and was elected as delegate by Westchester county to serve at the Caratoga conference which renominated Charles F. Hughes for governor
Mr Bruce is author of many tracts, the more important being "The Biography of Emigrant Negroes" "The Blood Red Record," "A Tribute to the Negro Soldier."
Mr. Bruce has been twice married. His first wife was Miss Lucy Pinwood, a contralto vocalist, of recognized merit, at Washington. The woman, who has presided over his domestic fireside in recent years, was Miss F. Adelahde Bishop of Cleveland, O., who has been of great assistance to him in his literary work. He was a member of the A.M. E. Zion connection, and a great friend of the late Bishop Walters.
THE FUNERAL
Impressive funeral rates were performed over the remains of Sir John Edward Bruce at Liberty Hall, 138th Street, New York City, Sunday, at 1 p.m. They were of a threefold nature. Rev. Charles Martin of the Moravian Church, where Sir John worshipped, conducting the first part of the exercises. Rev. G. Eimonen Carter, secretary-general of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, conducting the second, while the concluding ceremony was in the hands of the Prince Hall Masonic body.
Shortly after 1 p.m. the cortege progged from the undertaking parlor of Duncan Bros. corner of 135th street and seventh avenue, along Seventh avenue to Liberty Hall, where it was met by the officiating clergy, units of the New York Division and the Universal Choir. The case, it reposed in the center of the hall in front of the platform. A solemn service followed, in the course of which Rev. Martin and Rev. Carter and Sir William Sheriff, second assistant president-general of the U. N. I. A., delivered eulogies. Beethoven's funeral march, a favorite of the deceased, was played by Prof. Weeks, and several favorite hymns and solos were also rendered.
Hon Marcus Garvey, president-general of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, addressing the gathering, which was representative of all classes and creeds in Harlem, said: We are about to lay to rest another stalwart son of Africa, Sir John E. Bruce. He has known us in this association as a counselor, friend, brother and father. For several years he mentioned himself with this movement, and through his pen helped to shape and to form public opinion in the face of

Mr. Bruce was known to this organization throughout the world as one of the highest knights, as one of its most leaders. Every meeting of this association brings us closer to the character that we are about to lower into the grave this afternoon. At all our meetings all over, the world we open with a prayer he dedicated to this association and which I believe will ever be read by our members and by the association throughout the world and for all time. I am going to ask you to stand and repeat with me this prayer:
Prayer for Opening of Meeting Dedicated to the Universal Negro Improvement Association of the World By John E. Bruce-Grit
Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of Hosts.—Zach. 4 v.
Stand with us in our struggles for
The triumph of the right.
And spread confusion ever o'er
The advocates of might.
And let them know that righteousness
Is mighter than sin.
That might is only selfishness
And can not ought not, win.
Endow us, Lord, with faith and grace
And courage to endure.
The wrongs we suffer here apace.
And bless us evermore.
Resolutions, indicating the very high regard in which the deceased was held and conveying condolence to his devoted wife, were presented by the following: The Fourth International Convention of the Negro Peoples of the World, the Negro Society for Historical Research, the American Negro Academy, the Negro World Editorial Staff, the Ladies of the Royal Court of Ethiopia, the Secretary-General's office, U. N. I. A. headquarters, the New York Division and various auxiliaries. The resolutions of the association were as follows:
Whereas, It has pleased Almighty God in His divine wisdom to remove from a life of usefulness and real activity for racial uplift, Sir John E. Bruce; and
Whereas, In this removal his wife, relatives, friends and race sustain an irreparable loss through his demise; be it, therefore.
Resolved. That the sacred memory of Sir John Edward Bruce be perpetuated in glorious deeds of accomplishments, to the honor and interest of 400,000,000 black men, women and children without subordination of things of the soul, evincing at all times the courage and sincerity, as was evident in the service of the deceased to his race during life. That we extend to the wife, relatives and friends of the family our sympathies, and command them to the care and keeping of his unfalling love.
That a copy of these resolutions be sent to the bereaved family and a copy be spread upon the face of our minutes. Respectfully submitted.
The following resolutions from the Negro Society for Historical Research were read by Mr. Arthur Schomberg: The members of the Negro Society for Historical Research deeply regret the passing of John E. Bruce, its president, and extend their sympathy to his heroic wife. Having made a brilliant record as a writer for both the white and colored press, and having earned the nom de plume "Bruce Griff" by his fearless articles and editorials Mr. Bruce began a score of years ago, to get in touch with noted men of African descent in the West Indies, India and Africa. The result of that interest resulted in the formation of the Negro Society for Historical Research, which numbered among its members the most distinguished scholars of the Negro race, in different parts of the world.
graphs were gathered by the society and American Negroes were brought into relation with African and West Indian Negroes. This society was the first to force the public to recognize the black man's part in developing Ethiopian and Egyptian civilization and to teach black men that they had a history of which they could well be proud.
Mr. Bruce's homes on Sunnyalpine Farm and Warburton avenue, Yonkers, N. X., became Meccas for struggling authors and for scholars from across the seas. Those who attended the reception in honor of the Liberian Legation in the summer of 1908 will ever remember the memorable gathering. The judicial mind, the police, dignity and manliness of Mr. Bruce, and the gracious hospitality of Mrs. Bruce can never be forgotten.
And now having rounded out his three score years and ten, having served his God, his country and his race for nearly half a century as a writer, the noted scholar and historian has ended his earthly career and entered the realm where the spirit of man, unfettered by bodily limitations, by the limitations of time and space, communes with the Father of Spirits. He has left these terrestrial shores; but the influence of his personality, life and works will live. His physical organism has gone the way of all physical organisms; but the immortal soul enshrined in that organism will live forever.
So we say: "Good-bye, John; good-bye, John. We trust that the talents and character nurtured here will find an ampler field of exercise over there."
The following resolutions from the American Negro Academy were read by Mr. Arthur Schomberg;
The members of the American Negro Academy express their regret for the passing of John E. Bruce and their sympathy and appreciation for his noble and self-sacrifice wife, whose care and devotion prolonged his life and cheered his last days.
The American Negro Academy was founded by that prince, priest, prophet and scholar, Rev. Dr. Alexander Crummell, in Washington, D.C., in March, 1897. Dr. Crummell believed in encouraging aspiring Negro scholars, in teaching black men to aspire after the highest things in modern civilization and in teaching black men to believe in the possibilities of their race and to respect their women.
He stepped from time to eternity in September, 1895, but his mantle fell upon and his spirit descended upon John E. Bruce, who throughout his life implicated pride of race and manliness in his ebony-hued brethren.
With hardly even a grammar school education, John E. Bruce improved his leisure time and associated with those from whom he could learn something. Before he was thirty he had become fairly well read and, had developed into a writer with a keen wit, a terse and trenchant style, and by the time he reached the half century mark he had become a remarkably, well-read and well-informed man, the master of an epigrammatic style of writing, characterized by striking phrases and staccato sentences. He was ever learning and ever growing and at the time of his death was one of the most erudite scholars of his race. His career itself is a noble illustration of the possibilities of a race whose lease he so mindfully championed.
He will live in the memories of the American Negro Academy as a grand old man and a princely soul.

From the New York "World"
PARIS, July 29 - Determined efforts
to unify differing religions have
changed the face of Asia, according to
Prof. Osmanowski, author of a recent
book on exploration and adventure in
Siberia and Thibet.
Two years of solitary wandering from one end of Asia to the other, including Thibet, Mongolia and Manchuria, and close study of the political situation everywhere, convinced the author that the inhabitants of the whole country have been stirred by the breath of emancipation and liberty that swept from the Pacific Ocean to the Persian Gulf.
The present movement is vastly different from that after the Russo-Japanese war, Prof. Ossandowski says. At that time Japan was looked upon as the regenerator and savior of the Asiatic races. The Asiatics told Ossendowski that movement failed because the Japs were like the whites—started out to be conquerors and not guides.
Now, it appears, the high priests and leaders of Buddhism, Brahminism, Confucianism and Mohammedanism are united in preaching to the faithful the union of all Asiatic peoples and the end of religious dissensions that hitherto have kept them apart.
Prof. Ossendowski relates that whereas one formerly would hear remarks like, "He is an enemy, he worships a false god," the Asiatic are now taught by their priests: "No matter what gods you worship, you are before all, brothers; you must love one another and give mutual aid."
Only a leader is lacking now to weld Asia into one formidable bloc in world affairs. Soviet Russia is trying to be that leader.

YOUNG BLOOD
How I Keep Feeling Young and Vigorous at Near Sixty
"I am near 60 years," but I feel as young as I did at 30. I take a cupful of Bulgarian Tea once or twice a week. It keeps me healthy and strong and makes me feel young again," said H. H. Von Schlick, manufacturer of Bulgarian Herb Tea.
Bulgarian Tea isla great blood tonic. Just a few doses of Bulgarian Herb Tea and you begin to feel your health improve.
If you are tired, weak, nervous with no appetite or lack the energy and vigor to perform your work--don't wait another day--get some Pep in you and feel 10 to 30 years younger.
Go to your druggist and ask for Bulgarian Herb Tea compound in the red and yellow box.
In case your druggist cannot supply you with the genuine Bulgarian Herb Tea that will improve your blood. I will send to you postpaid for $100. Addressee me H. H. Von Schlick Marvel Products Co., Dept. 5, Marvel Building, Pittsburgh, Pa.

Hon. MARCUS GARVEY with Rev. R. VAN. RICHARD, Chaplain of Liberian Senate
To the Editor of The Negro World. Sir: Being propelled by the natural force of ambition for the progressive advancement of the Negro race, to which I belong, and of which I am so desirous to see standing intellectually, industrially, politically, economically and, financially equal with the other races of the world. I herein ask your permission to make the following comment in your paper in accordance with the impression made in me by the activities of the U. N. I. A. on the first of August, 1924.
Having followed the procession throughout, and carefully listened to comments by non-member Negroes, I discovered that the procession has made an indelible impression on the minds of thousands of such non-interested Negroes. To some, it seems "only a waste of money," but to the more thoughtful it is considered as wonderful. They see in it a hope based upon a foundation of self-determination which will ultimately result in a colossal amalgamation of Negroes the world over.
I am sure if we as individuals can rid ourselves of ambiguity, egotism and petty jealousies; if we would learn to respect one another's thoughts and weight them in the balance of reason; if we could only learn to appreciate and teach those under our guidance to appreciate the services rendered by others for the good and welfare of the organization, and finally concentrate all our mental faculties and physical energies upon the consolidation of the race as a whole. It would not be very far off when we would find ourselves bound together in an everlasting sunshine of racial unity.
Bishop Alex. McGuire's Sermon It is my belief that Bishop McGuire has delivered the sermon of his life, "A Negro God." Beyond the shadow of a doubt it is the most philosophical, rational and logical psychoanalysis yet preached by the pulpit at a most opportune moment. If each and every preacher of the race would teach such doctrines it would help greatly in cementing our racial ambition. Curiously enough. Negroes have failed to see that it is through such means that the other races have succeeded in promoting their racial welfare.
For instance, all races undoubtedly acknowledge God to be a spirit without any shade of color whatever; yet the white race paints God as being white. The unseen angels are white, the throne he elits upon is white, the robes worn in Heaven are white, the horse He rides is white, etc., etc.
The Chinese Confucius is yellow; the Japanese Buddha is yellow, the East Indian Buddha is brown. These people possessed with their individual racial ambition attribute their racial complexion to the God they worship and adore. This was done and is being done simply to instill into the memory of their coming generation that what soever is good must bear their racial color.
Unfortunately the Negro, not realizing this bit of racial psychology, has accepted and adopted the white God idea.
Again we have been given to believe that the devil, or Satan, is black sin as is black as sack cloth, etc. This the Negro has also accepted whole-heartedly, which has caused him to lose the last bit of racial pride that he might have possessed.
My plea to the race is to instill into the mind of our people the realization that a race, like an individual, is just what that race, or individual, makes it.
I hope, as Bishop Alexander McGuire has begun, others will follow, unhestatingly.

On Friday night, the 11th of July last, our Camaguey hall was the center of unusual interest, the occasion being the visit of Mr. Rudolf Smith, the third assistant president-general of the U. N. L. A. and titular leader of the West Indies and South and Central America, accompanied by Mr. Smith.
The distinguished visitors arrived that morning direct from Florida, and the announcement of their arrival brought forth eloquent response in a large turnout of members and friends of the association to welcome them. It was fully evident that everyone was impressed with the greatness of the occasion, realizing that a visit from one of the high executive officers of our wonderful organisation, bringing, as did Mr. Smith, a message of hope and encouragement, must mean a strengthening of our determination to stand for our glorious cause and a renewing of our vision of final victory.
The meeting commenced at 8 o'clock, Mr. Miller, president of the Camaguey division, presiding.
Among those present were Mr. Martin, president of the Florida division, and Mr. Manahan, president of the Guanabasco, Havana, division, and Senor Juan Delgado and Senor Gonzalo Ricordo, the two latter gentlemen being delegates sent to represent the Labor Union.
The chairman, in opening the proceedings, extended welcome to the distinguished visitors, following which a solo was rendered by Mrs. Francis, entitled "Over the River, of Life" which was followed by a hymn by the audience entitled "The King of Love My Shepherd Is."
Next, an able address by Mr. Manahan, president of the Guanabasco, Havana, division. Then an address by Mr. Gonzalo Ricordo, one of the delegates of "La Union", who, in a touching manner, expressed his esteem of the Negro race.
Mr. Murray, newly elected secretary of the Camaguey division, next addressed the assembly. Then followed the reading of the credentials of the Hon. Rudolph Smith and Mrs. Smith.
Next a message from the Hon. Marcus Garvey was read by Mrs. Smith. Then an address by the Hon. Rudolph Smith, which was being honored forward to with keen expectancy, and the members and friends were not disappointed. After greeting his audience in the name of the millions of members of the association in the United States, the Hon. Rudolph Smith, in pregnancy with sincerity, zeal and matchless eloquence, proceeded to present to the audience an enlightening and inspiring review of the activities, struggles, setbacks and triumphs of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League, as championed by the noble band of faithful heroes against the open opposition of enemies and the treachery of false friends. The speaker described the part played by that beloved leader, the Hon. Marcus Garvey, whose fearless stand for the freedom of his people and the redemption of their homeland has lighted the torch of hope in the hearts of millions—touching upon the plan for the establishment of a Steamship service. The Hon. Rudolph Smith made a strong appeal to his listeners for support of the worthy undertaking, which met with the tallest response. Mr. Smith's speech certainly won the highest admiration of his listeners, revealing as it did a zealous, unselfish conception of the great cause of Negro advancement.
The meeting then terminated with the singing of our national anthem.

A. mass meeting of this division was held at its new Liberty Hall, Calle Margarca, Colonia Toitesson on Sunday night, July 17, at 8 o'clock with President Thompson in the chair. After the singing of the opening ode the Twenty-third Falmum was read, followed by hymn and prayer. The president in the course of his introductory remarks said he was greatly pleased at having the opportunity of being present at the first mass meeting held in our new hall, and more so of seeing the patriotic spirit shown by the new members of the division who were trying to keep the banner of the U. N. I. A. flying in this vicinity. He also made an earnest plea to all asking them to be steadfast in the high spirit they had shown to the program of the association.
The minutes of the last general meeting were then read. The president asked those present to appoint a 'vice-president to fill the new vacancy. Mr. J. Adams thereupon introduced Mr. W. G. Bogle as the one he thought capable of filling the vacancy. This was put to the house and carried unanimously. Mr. Bogle then thanked the members of the division for the confidence reposed in him as evidenced by their unanimous vote. He pledged himself to do all in his power for the welfare of the division and the association in general. After the singing of the "Sheaves." Mr. J. Adams, secretary, addressed the gathering and made allusion to the death of the ex-vice-president, Mr. W. Thomas. He asked for greater unity amongst the members and referred to the splendid work the divisions of the association were doing. He admonished them to stick together for the putting over of the great program of the U. N. I. A.
The next address was by H. E. Allen, who briefly outlined the aims and objects of the U. N. I. A. and what it stood for: Mr. H. Bailey was the next speaker. He carried away his hearers with an impressive address, asking them to carry on the good work for Africa's redemption, Miss O. B. Simmons, in her address, pointed out how much the association was dependent on the assistance of every member of the race for the carrying out of its plans. Miss C. Willite was the next speaker. She expressed her delight at meeting once more the members of the U. N. I. A., and in choice language contrasted the small beginning of the association, with its present day activities.
The president then thanked the audience for the interest they took in the organization, and remarked that we were 'nearer our goal now more than at any other time in the history of the association.
In conclusion he asked the members to persevere, to eschew dissensions and to work in harmony for the good of our great race. He also expressed his regret at the death of Mr. Thomas, and the sad manner in which he met his end. The meeting was brought to a close with the sailing of the Ethiopian anthem.

THE PEOPLE'S FORUM
He Has Strong Faith That
Marcus Garvey Will Win
To the Editor of The New World
To the Lord of the Negro world.
I am a reader of your paper. It is the most wonderful paper. I have ever read. I am interested in the U. N. I. A. I think it is a great organization upon which depends the salvation of the Negro race. It is the greatest organization controlled by the Negro race. Now, the U. N. I. A. under the leadership of Hon. Marcus Garvey, is engaged in the great battle of freedom, fighting against injustice and oppression. I can't help but believe that the victory will be won.
First, we must conquer the foes within, then we can more easily conquer those without. The victory will then be won with less difficulty.
May God bless Hon. Marcus Garvey and spare his life until the great victory is won; that the son of Ethiopia shall again rise to its glory and shine over the entire continent of of Africa.

A Teacher in Honduras Strong for African Redemption To the Editor of The Negro World:
To the Editor of The Negro World:
"Please permit me to express myself, though a woman, but one who has will power, determination and a strong husband, in the fight for Africa's redemption. I mean to hold on to the skirt of Marcus Garvey, and never to let go until we die or Africa be redeemed. So; let the wind blow however it likes. Africa will be redeemed, for Ethiopia has stretched forth her hands unto God. The Red Sea is already divided and we are on our way through. Let Pharrach and his host come along. I am sure we shall see them sinking beneath the waves of disappointment.
Those Negroes who are planning to overthrow this grand and noble movement, let me tell them, will never succeed, as they did not succeed in keeping Marcus Garvey within the gates of the Tombs in 1923. They will not be able to bar the gates of Liberia against her sons and daughters, for God has put it in the hearts of the Liberians to take hold of the hands that have been stretched out to them for over 850 years, and from her shores. Princes will be brought; hence they will not allow lilars to deceive them, and that the prophecy be not fulfilled. Courage, brothers! Do not stumble. Though the way be dark and dreary, there is a light to guide the humble. Trust in God and do the right.

The Editor of the Negro World:
I am recently a resident in this city, direct from one of the British West Indies, which is the land of my nativity. I am not a member of the U. N. A. but a reader of the Negro World.
The Hon. Rudolph Smith was here and has gone; he did not say goodbye, but au revoir. The presence of this distinguished gentleman compelled me to find myself in Liberty Hall for the first time. I was curious not only to see but to hear this eminent gentleman, this great ambassador, this advocate of Negroes' freedom, who is working so assiduously and ardently. And must I not say that I am satisfied? Indeed, he has given evidence which cannot be controverted. How awful it is to see that such men are working so nobly and strenuously for so sacred and righteous a cause and that those who are fighting the organization are within the race!
How clear and plain is the solution
If you are not a member of the U. N.
I. A. and mean to take absolutely no
part in helping it, why not remain
neutral? Why continually make your-
selves the laughing stock for white
people? I am sure that those Negroes
who are now fighting the organization
are quite convinced, but not willing to
accept the evidence.
However, the words of Mr. Smith
have caused many in this city to ston

To the Editor of the Negro World:
This comes to you as a call to duty.
Our leader, Hon. Marcus Garvey, with his co-workers, has succeeded in bringing this race movement to the attention of the great governments of the world; therefore it is the duty of every member in particular, and every Negro in general, to do his duty, morally, intellectually, and financially in co-operation with the leadership in putting over the program.
This is the psychological time in the life of our great movement. It behooves every member of the race to standby our leaders. A united front of the 6,000,000 members of our organization can put every feature of the present program over in a manner that will make the world set up and take notice.
August is convention month. The door of the fourth International Convention of the Negro Peoples of the World is open for the consideration of the greatest program ever presented up to this time. The best minds of the race from every quarter of the globe will assemble to consider it and to make dispositions for the future progress of this great movement.
Our great leader and his associated co-workers are engaged in convention planning for the future betterment of our race. Let every member and interested Negro get down to real business. Let us do some hard work in co-operation with them in setting a new milestone in the progress of the race that will be a memorial to future posterity.

A Prison a Good Place in Which to Learn to Think

I regret to say I cannot respond with a subscription to The Negro World at the present time. This address is a penal institute and of course the sources to secure money are very limited; but you shall receive shortly one order for a subscription at least.
I want you to know you have very staunch adherents, here, for it is such a place that men who are not wholly incorrigible learn to think, and that's the sole difference between a jackass and a man. Good luck and God support you and yours. Most sincerely.

BEDTIME STORIES IN A PULLMAN SMOKER
BEDTIME STORIES IN A PULLMAN SMOKER
(Lincoln News Service)
As I sat down in the smoker and crumbled some homepun tobacco leaves, preparatory to a final smoke, my attention was drawn to a passenger who entered the smoker closely behind me. He steadied himself with a heavy cane and walked with a perceptible limp. Streaks of gray hair were intermingled with black, but his youthful features and complexion were those of a man who might have reached his early thirties.
"Fine night, sir," he said, smilingly, as he deftly lighted a cigarette. "I like to sit up late on nights like this." he continued, pleasantly, as he looked at his watch, on the fob of which I noticed a medal which looked like a war decoration.
"Well." I responded, as I eyed the decoration closely and became convinced that it was a Croix de Guerre, "since I see you're a war hero, I hope all the nights and days, too, for that matter, will bring full happiness to you and all the boys who saved our country."
"Thanks," he said. In simple sincerity, "I'm particularly happy tonight, for I met one of my old buddies on board, and we had a fine chat, until he was called away, about old times at the front. For it was just this hour," he continued pulling his watch, which showed that it was half past nine, "that Jim, thinking I was a German, captured me half a minute before the out watch and carried me back to camp as a prisoner, only to find out that I was an American and belonged to his own division. Half an hour after that the German mines, which for some reason had not been fired, went off and bleam, up the wnolo section where we had been. We'd both been killed if we'd been there."
"But how was it?" I inquired, "that Jim thought you were a German, and
why were you so far away from your company?
"Well, you couldn't tell anybody that evening, after the day's engagement, and without my uniform, the best part of which had been torn away. Jim, who had had blood in his eye for all Germans had sworn to get one more, and when he found me out scouting beyond the lines, he wouldn't believe I warl right until he took me into camp. After that we became warm friends, and saw much of each other very often. And just before the Armistice was declared I had the pleasure of saving him from an aeroplane bombing which came pretty near getting us all," he concluded, with a hearty laugh.
"Well, you and Jim, whoever he is, are O. K., Guess I'll take one more smoke, as Jim might come in and I'd sure like to see him."
Just then, the porter entered, and the war veteran reached for his cane, and with its help fairly leaped to his feet as he shouted: "Jim, old boy—for goodness sake hurry up with your work, so we can finish talking over old times. I'm getting off at Philadelphia, you know, and I won't be back East until July." Clasping the porter's hand warmly, the war veteran added, as he looked at me. "This is Jim, who has nine lives, two Croix de Guerre medals, and last, but not least, as warm a place in my heart as any guy who ever went over the top." And when I retreat to my berth at 10 o'clock, the buddies were seated close together; still talking over old times at the front.
Arabs Say They Are Jews;

The leaders of the tribe, which is named Alshmaini, declare that according to its tradition, handed down from generation to generation, the tribe is of Jewish descent, and now that the Jewish national homeland is being rebuilt they want to rejoin the ancient faith of their forefathers.
THE LILY FLOWER
By C. McKINZIE MUIR
With laughing eyes, in girlish glee.
She ran to meet me on my way.
And gave with timid glance to me
A-Eucharis lily, culled that day.
With lips apart, yet naught to say.
Expectantly she waited by.
And swept the flaxed locks away
That strayed across her bright blue
That day is past, that sun has set,
I mourn her in my lonely hour;
But, Oh! I never can forget
Her simple gift, the lily flower
That fluttering skirts, the tossing trees,
That on the breeze sunset streamed.
The bounding step of eagerness.
The eyes with 'welcome home' that beamed
Fit wages for my day's work seemed;
But brighter than the earliest gown.
A star of hope and love, I deemed.
That lily on its trail stem
Cherus
That day is past, that sun has set.
I mourn her in my lonely hour.
But in my heart I treat me yet.
Her simple gift, the Lily Flower Boston, Mars.

HAMILTON, OHIO
On July 27, 1924, Hamilton Chapter, No. 98, of the U. N. L. a. held its first mass meeting in Liberty Hall, now located at 808 Monument avenue.
The principal speaker was Prof. A. H. Maloney, of Wilberforce University.
The meeting was opened in the regular manner, the president, J. E. Hudson, presiding. This chapter is no more than a month old, but we desire to let our sister chapters and divisions know that the red, black and the green are still in Hamilton.
This meeting was a great success and will long be remembered by all those who attended. After the opening address by President J. E. Hudson, the next speaker, Rev. E. Mitchell, treasurer, gave a splendid lecture on the "Work of the U. N. I. A." Much applause was given Mr. Thomas A. Wilson on his address in which he explained the meaning of the colors of the Universal flag. Another speaker of the evening was Mrs. W. P. Hudson, who gave an inspiring address. Last but not least was Prof. Maloney, who delivered an address, "The Determination of the Negro for the Redemption of Africa," in which he stated the reasons why Africa must be redeemed.
After Prof. Maloney's wonderful address he unveiled the new chapter of this division. In his closing remarks he said that, Africa was the only redemption for the Negro race.
This chapter highly appreciated the services and visit of Prof. Maloney and family, and wishes to thank the members, and friends who contributed toward making this affair a success. THOMAS A. WILSON.

to control others. Of course, that smart Negro is simply a tool in his hands, but a psychology is fostered that gives him an independence he would not get otherwise. In Africa it is the same thing. The Frenchman, the Englishman controlling those natives can only do so by giving them a certain independence that the American Negro has no opportunity to enjoy. And somehow or other whether I met that Negro, whether from the West Indies or other lands, in the majority of cases he has a way of standing up, an air of independence, a way of talking that we can not imitate over here. Yet all the opposition is based on this—that Marcus Garvey is a West Indian. What does it matter? The program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association is not a program for West Indians, is not a program for American Negroes—it is a program for the Negroes of the world. (Loud applause.)

come or not. I had always felt, ever since I was old enough to think for myself, that if the Negro was ever to have, a real, stalwart, courageous leader that would be able to stand fearlessly and look the world in the face and tell them what black men wanted and should have, he would have to come from somewhere outside of the United States. And if Marcus Garvey goes today, or tomorrow I am afraid we will have to start somewhere in the islands or on the coast of Africa looking for another leader to fill his place.
The American Negro
The Negro in America has been raised under a condition so peculiar and so different to, that of any other Negro that it is now difficult to find the material that will make leadership for the race. The Negro in America from the time he leaves the cradle is Jim Crowed, segregated, kicked about, cuased and lynched and by the time he reaches man's estate he has no manhood left to exert. Now the Negro in the West Indies, I know, has suffered terribly at the hands of the British, but he is in the majority, and from the cradle he exercises a certain amount of independence that the American Negro never has exercised. In high positions of state, in city positions the British Government is compelled to use the smart Negro in order
And so we find Negroes here moving heaven and earth to remove Marcus Garvey. They have done everything they could think of to hinder and embarrass him in the putting over of the program of the U: N: I: A. They started with the Black Star Line, thinking thereby to convince Negroes Marcus Garvey was a crook and a thief, but they discovered that the people will not stand for that kind of propaganda Marcus Garvey was arrayed before the court and the world to shake from him.

MARCUS GARVEY, President-General
the support of millions of Negroes who had lined up, and today they are using every means they can find in pursuit of the same vindictive selfish ends. Marcus Garvey, the genius of his race, they would destroy him. They tried to make people believe he had enriched himself at the expense of the people, and they are still looking about for the place he buried his treasure. I am glad the members of the U. N. I. A see this Negro a long way before he gets to him. I have said it in Chicago. I have said it in New Orleans. I have said it in Miami, -Fla., and I have said it in Atlanta, Ga.—Marcus Garvey is one of the world's providential geniuses. And those Negroes who would oppose and hinder are wasting time. (Loud applause.)
LONDON, Aug. 1.—The action brought by George Parkington, well-known contractor of Blackpool, Lancashire, against the College of Ambulance and its secretary for damages for alleged violation of a contract to obtain for him a knighthood for £20,000, of which he alleged he had advanced £3,000, has been dismissed by Justice Lush. The Judge ruled that a contract to obtain a title was an unlawful transaction.

and "treks" unerringly for the death pit. He may travel for days and even weeks and when he arrives at the edge of the pit he "nap" to his death. How much ivory lies there? Who will discover it? In Colombia, Peru, Ecuador and Brazil "ivory" grows on trees. It is gathered in the form of hard, white, fine-grained oval cuts, about the size of a small potato, which drop from the wild tagua, or vory nut palm. When dried, vegetable ivory looks like real ivory from elephant tusks.
We are reminded just here of the Day of Sorrow recently observed in Japan. How those people, feeling humiliated because, of the unjust discrimination against them by the American government, solemnly protested such wrongs.
The object of the observance of a day of that kind was to make every Japanese feel the insult: To make every Japanese feel that his pride had been humiliated. The leaders wanted to arouse the people to a full realization of just what had been done to them by the American government. So with us, let us remember those who inflict deep wounds in our pride, grumble, as it were, the blood from those wounds upon our gate, poets, so as we go in we will remember; and when we go out we won't forget.—St. Louis Argus.

CONSTITUTIONAL
When the Elephant Comes to Die He Makes for the Pit
By Leonard-Massenger in Norfolk Journal and Guide
The reason ivory billiard balls are so expensive is because the supply of ivory, a natural growth depending mainly upon the tusks of elephants, is exceedingly limited. Nevertheless, if some wanderer probably through the illimitable forests of Central Africa, or water called Victoria Nyanza, could stumble upon a certain "pit" and communicate his discovery to the world, the value of this commodity would drop to the nearest fraction of its present worth.
Seeing that in Africa there are tens of thousands of wild elephants, one would imagine that travelers like Stanley and Cameron would have recorded coming upon the carcass of a dead beast. Yet they never did, nor has any other African explorer come upon an elephant which has died in its tracks from natural causes.
What becomes of all the elephants that die? It is said that somewhere in the million square miles that constitute the African continent is a mighty pit with precipitous sides, which contains the bones, and therefore the tusks, of countless thousands of elephants.
How did they come there? It is said, further, that, whenever an African elephant may be, when he feels the approach of death he leaves the herd
14. An appeal to the Presidents of America, France and Portugal for a square deal for Negroes in Africa, America and the colonies.
15. Discussing the Negro's attitude in the next great war.
16. Discussing the petition of appeal of the Negro Peoples of the World to the League of Nations for the turning over to them of certain mandatories in Africa now being exercised by alien peoples over the natives.
The above program will be exhaustively discussed at our forthcoming convention, and it is natural to expect that the best minds of our race will be sent as representatives to take part in these discussions. All branches and chapters of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and all other organizations, societies and churches are invited to attend the convention and to take part in its general discussions. Delegates, as usual, will be coming from Africa, Europe, Asia, the West Indies, South and Central America, Canada and the forty-eight States of the American Union. This will be a big time for the Negro race. During the night sessions of the convention (the convention will be night and day for the thirty-one days of the month of August) several of the prominent white leaders of America will speak to the delegates. We are expecting the presence of several Senators, Congressmen and leaders in American public life and education.
Among the important items to be discussed, as outlined by the above program, will be the formation of the Negro Political Union. This union will consolidate the political forces of the Negro through which the race will express its political opinion in America, in the islands of the seas and in all communities where the Negro forms a pair. The Political Union shall represent the political hopes and aspirations of the fifteen million Negroes of the United States of America on American questions, domestic to America, and shall represent the interests of the millions of Negroes of the West Indies in their different and respective islands affecting domestic political questions, and so also in the scattered communities of Africa. The union shall have a sympathetic relationship politically, with Negrdes all over the world, but each country or community will have its own domestic program for the betterment of the race, in that country or community. But the strength of the union shall be given to any community or country to politically assist it in putting over its political program. As, for instance, if the Negrdes of America were politically agitating or working for the passage of any special measure for the benefit of the race, the entire strength of the union would be placed at the disposal of the American section. If the Negrdes of Trimidal desired to carry out any political measure for the benefit of that community, the union would use its strength in assisting them, and so with any community where the Negroes live throughout the world. No longer, therefore, will individual politicians represent the interests of the Negroes, but the Negroes unitedly will be represented by the Negro Political Union. Let us all, therefore, work for the successful consummation of the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, so that we may be able to glory in a brighter day industrially, commercially, socially, religiously and politically.
BEST MINDS OF THE RACE TO BE PRESENT
above program will be exhaustively discussed at our forthcoming conven-
it is natural to expect that the best minds of our race will be sent as repre-
sents to take part in these discussions. All branches and chapters of the
Negro Improvement Association and all other organizations, societies
ties are invited to attend the convention and to take part in its general

peak to the delegates. We are expecting the presence of several Senators,

NEGRO POLITICAL UNION
the important items to be discussed, as outlined by the above program, the formation of the Negro Political Union. This union will consolidate the forces of the Negro through which the race will express its political America, in the islands of the seas and in all communities where the unions a part. The Political Union shall represent the political hopes and interests of the fifteen million Negroes of the United States of America on questions, domestic to America, and shall represent the interests of the Negroes of the West Indies in their different and respective islands. Domestic political questions, and so also in the scattered communities of the union shall have a sympathetic relationship politically, with Negroes of the world, but each country or community will have its own domestic pro-terment of the race, in that country or community. But the union shall be given to any community or country to politically assist over its political program. As, for instance, if the Negroes of Amer- politically agitating or working for the passage of any special measure for the race, the entire strength of the union would be placed at the dis- American section. If the Negroes of Trinidad desired to carry out any measure for the benefit of that community, the union would use its strength for them, and so with any community where the Negroes live through- field. No longer, therefore, will individual politicians represent the inter- Negroes, but the Negroes unitedly will be represented by the Negro union. Let us all, therefore, work for the successful consummation of form of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, so that we may be in a brighter day-industrially, commercially, socially, religiously and

New French Anaesthetic Discovered
If platforms meant anything, no obligation would exist. The choice would be easy. But we know from experience that campaigns once over a party platform becomes just so much refrence literature.—Pittsburgh American
PARIS, July 24 A new anaesthetic which is claimed to be far superior to any hitherto employed is being used by Dr Freudet of the Hospital de la Nouvelle Pute. It is called "commi-tore." In doses of ten to fifteen cubes centimeters it is injected into the veins after previous injections of morphine or scopolamine. According to the account given the French Surgical Society, the resulting anaesthesia is complete, permitting the longest and most serious operation. The patient remains plunged for twenty-four to thirty-six hours afterward in torpor, from which, however, he can be aroused from time to time for food.

Europe he had come from very people now. he was in disarray with his foreign government, the British. They thought that as the empire of secession freedom for the Negro, he was existing at the very roots of the British American system, which was part of the policy to subjugate and dominate the Black people. England had used the Anglican Church and other religious society with selling effect in the subjugation of the natives, and he predicted that she will become more concerned when she bears of the convictions that had been passed with regard to the defication of the Black man of sorrows. The mainstay of Britain's policy was "Divide and rule." It was very effective, especially among Negroes.
Hon. W. A. Wellace, of Illinois, who was called by the speaker to speak on the policy of America, said that the political weapon was one of America's agencies. Negro preachers were easily secured for a consideration to preach to their congregations and get their support for a certain candidate. In that way an economical slavery was established. The doctrine of the South was a white supremacy, while the supporters in the North adopted the policy also of keeping the Negro in his place. The only solution of the problem facing the race in America was the building up of a nation in Africa which would be in a position to protect the inter-nactions of Negroes everywhere.
Hon J. J. Peters, on invitation of the chair, outlined the policy of France toward the Negro. He claimed that that policy was the best of the three making comparisons as to the treatment of the people by the three different governments. He said the Negroes, under the French were considered as citizens and were given high office. The French, however, exploited the people in the colonies in the same way as the British, and handicapped them in many directions, particularly in regard to nationhood. He also discussed on the shrewd, vicious and bureaucratic policy of the British.
In the discussion that followed, Hon. J. Hassell, of Seattle, Wash., threw much light on the various policies showing that he had a world of information in regard to the present position of the Negroes in the three countries. He spoke of the impoverishment of the West Indies in regard to sugar as being due to the fact that the British preferred to help the German best growers, than to help the islands because many colored people owned

plantation. As to the French, he said They were given many opportunities to film, and instructed the fact that at the beginning of the war, General Dixie, colored man, was adjutant general of the French forces, but had been retired because of the protests of the British and the French. He next pointed out the effect of the American policy and instanced Maravil, which was now under control of America, and which was now owned thereby by the descendants of the original missionaries, who want to those islands, and who married among the princesses and weakly natives. After some further discussion, the morning session adjourned.
THURSDAY AFTERNOON
AUGUST 7
On the resumption, discussion of the British, French and American policy toward the Negro was continued.
Hon. C. H. Bryant, commissioner of Panama, Costa Rica and Nicaragua, referred to the concept of the British, who he said, were determined to maintain their domination of the Negro people, no means for doing, so being too despicable. France's policy was one of expediency. Negroes being necessary for her protection. As for America, the stars were for America, and the strips for negroes.
Hon. D. H. Kyle, Clarksbury, W. Va., said he agreed with the previous speakers when they said that the British, French and Americans dominated through their system of education, the cult of white supremacy and white superiority. It was for Negroes through the U. N. I. A. to meet propaganda with propaganda.
Hon. M. Ankerlee, Penn., emphasized that religion was used to subjugate the Negro. The lesson of turning the other cheek had been well taught.
Hon. Arnold Ford, New York, said religion, education, the economic system, politics and the social order were the means by which the Negro was oppressed. Negroes must produce their own literature. It was a disgrace that they knew nothing of the principles that guided their fathers.
Hon. R. A. Bachelor, Oriente, Cuba, gave a vivid account of the oppressive tactics and methods of the British people in their dealings with Negroes. It seemed to him that it was not so much "policy" as "poison," with which the British inoculated their victims. He had seen Negroes starving, unable to provide themselves with shelter, unable to secure a day's work under British rule, and yet singing "God Save the King" with the greatest fervor.
Hon. H. E. Ellenberg, Gary, Ind. said that the American system, as far as the Negro was concerned, was physical bondage, then spiritual bondage, then intellectual bondage, all attended with a shocking inhumanity. Hon. E. B. Grant, Bermuda, endorsed the remark of the Hon. Bachelor, Hon. Edward Allen, Pittsburgh; Hon. Rogers, Newport News, Va.; Hon. H. Nicholas, New York, and Hon. Jackson, New Orleans, supported the point of view of the preceding speakers, stating that it was for the Negro to take steps to resist the propaganda of the white race with similar propaganda. Hon. G. A. Weston, New York, showed that the British policy was very shrewd and insidious and instanced that within his knowledge, in pursuance of the system to divide and rule, the British had employed Turkish agnite to preach Islamism to members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association.
Hon. F. Johnson, Detroit, emphasized that America used one section of Negroes to oppress another
Hon. J. D. Barber referred to the British and French policy of oppression in Sogamiland and the Sudan respectively. He suggested that the D. N. I. A. send out missionaries to counteract their propaganda. At this stage the convention adjourned until 8:30 p.m.
THURSDAY EVENING, AUGUST 7
The Convention was called to order at 9 p.m. the Hon. Rudolph Smith in the chair.
The Hon. Rudolph Smith informed the Convention that the Hon. Marcus Garvey was absent, very pressing business concerned with the Universal Negro Improvement Association.
The discussion of the subject which engaged attention at the afternoon session—the British, French and American policy toward the Negro—was continued.
Hon. J. B. Eaton, Berkeley, Va., dealt with the American policy, which, he said, was one of oppression through denial of political rights.
Hon. Jacob Chambers, East St. Louis, said it was the settled determination of the white man to keep the Negro in a state of servitude. In East St. Louis, a law had been passed excluding Negroes from the South, and this attitude would in time become general, eventually approximating the attitude now adopted towards the Japanese.
Hon. Daniels, Brooklyn, agreed with previous speakers who showed that a system of repression through the medium of education was in general use by the white man everywhere.
Hon. Baxter, Jamaica, said the policy of the British as exemplified in Jamaica was destruction by starvation. He referred to the introduction of cheap labor from India against which the Negro could not compete. Hon. F. L. Martin, St. Louis, said the policy of the white nations was based on the survival of theittest. His wan, however, not so much concerned with consideration of the policy of the white man towards the Negro as the plane the Negro would adopt to combat the policy of the white man. Hon. Col. Wattley, New York, said all were agreed as to the policy of the
THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, AUGUST 16, 1934
British, French and the Americans toward the Negro. The policy the Negro could adopt to oppose this was the policy of the U. N. I. A.
Hon. J. R. Gill, Pittsburgh, said the Negro in America had no policy and proceeded to elaborate in this strain, when the Acting Speaker, ruled him out of order. The honorable gentleman thereupon took his seat.
The Acting Speaker here vacated the chair to address the House, and Hon. Percival Barrows wielded the gavel.
said the South would be sold for the Universal Negro Improvement Association if proper measures were taken to spread the principle. The Negro of wealth in the South stood between the masses and their salvation. It was that class of men to whom the attention of the U. N. I. A. should be directed. The policy of the white man was this, he told the Negro, prepare somewhere to go, for we are only betting you stay here until we are ready to turn you out, when we no longer need you.
Literature. The white man philosophical, logical and with literature in forming him of the true association he would apprise the statements at their true value. The was a powerful instrument he used to the full.
Hon. Powell, Chelsea Dowell, W. Va.; Hon. I also spoke, suggesting tion of literature after
Hon. Smith, in a lengthy address referred to the tremendous hold which France and Great Britain had on Africa, and their determination, in their own interests, to maintain their grip. He referred to the policy of divide and rule which England had developed everywhere and said it was for the Negro to be educated to the meaning of this sinister instrument. He dwelt at length, on the antagonism of black against light brown which the British had stirred, among Negroes in the colonies. Propaganda was one of the chief weapons and he instanced how in Cuba, where the Association had a very large membership, one newspaper had declared that Marcus Garvey had been arrested as a bootleger. He moved that the Chairman of the Convention, Hon. Marcus Garvey, on his arrival the next day, appoint a committee of seven to draw up plans providing for the remedying of those ill affecting Negroes which had been introduced by the policy of the British, French and Americans.
Hon. F. L. Martin, St. Louis, seconded.
Hon. J. J. Peters, Chicago, moved an amendment, and several rose to speak on unreadiness, whereupon a motion to adjourn was moved and carried.
FRIDAY MORNING, AUGUST 8
The convention assembled at 10 a.m. the Speaker. Hon. Marcus Garvey, in the chair.
Prayers were read, after which the minutes of the previous session were read by the secretary.
Winding up the discussion of the previous session. Hon. Martin., St. Louis, moved that a committee of seven he appointed to draft a plan to determine the policy of the association with respect to the policy of France, England and America toward the Negro, the committee to report next Friday. August 15.
Hon. S. V. Robertson seconded and the motion was carried unanimously. The following committee was then appointed by the speaker:
Hon. W. A. Wallace, Illinois; Hon. P. Martin, St. Louis; Hon. S. V. Robertson, Louisiana; Hon. J. D. Barber, Hon. P. L. Burrows, first assistant secretary general; Hon. R. A. Bachelor, Oriente, Cuba; Hon. S. R. Wheat, West
The convention was prepared to discuss ways and means of adjusting the race problem of the Southern States of the United States of America to the satisfaction of all concerned.
Intifating the discussion, the speaker, Hon. Marcus Garvey, said the subject was a very important one. The South was the sore spot of the nation, but at the same time the South was the character-making center of Negroes. The South had given more character to the Negro than any other section of the world. It had made more real Negro men and women than had been made anywhere else, but, paradoxically, it was that part of the world where Negroes suffered most within the pale of civilization. It was, therefore, the duty of the convention to discuss how to educate the people in the South lands so as to render themselves best able to emancipate themselves. The highest purposes of the Universal Negro Improvement Association were liberty and freedom for the Negro, but there must be the backbone of education if liberty and freedom were to be obtained. He was not prepared to condemn the whole slave or yet to uphold the South. Its people had shown themselves the most honest in their attitude toward the Negro American and African Negroes would become the finest Negroes in the world because of their contact with the brutally frank white residents in the South of America and in South Africa, a contact which incubated in the Negro the spirit of self-reliance, self-respect and self-development. The South, it must not be forbidden, he concluded, was powerful in Republican no less than in Democratic politics.
Hon. Bishop McGullett, New York, drew a parallel between the relations of Negroes and Caucasians in the South and in America as a whole and these that existed between the descendants of Ham and the Hebrews when the latter sought refuge among the former. So long as two distinct races, living side by side, had both made up their minds to preserve their racial identity and so remain pure, there would be a dominant race and a subject race. He had visited the South on occasions and preferred living conditions there to the hive existence exiled out in New York apartments in Greenabore, North Carolina, he instanced. Negroes lived in palatial homes with every comfort and convenience and unmolested by the white residents, whose concern ended at segregation. Thank God for the South, he said; thank God for the opportunities Negroes enjoyed there, thank God for the limitations placed upon their enjoyment which made them think of their fathers' God and hold in mind the destiny of the race.
Hon. Jacob Chambers. East St. Louis, said he was born and reared in the South. Talking about conditions that existed there, he said, would not solve the problem that confronted the race there. The only way to solve the problem to the satisfaction of all concerned was by, putting, more energy, more money and giving more help to the Universal Negro Improvement Association and its leader. The people in the Minneapolis Valley and in Tennessee were ready to embrace the tombs of the U. N. I. A. and a strong sense and well-directed effort should be made to reach the masses of the South. Mon. M. McDowell, Blytheville, Ark.
said the South would be sold for the North. Negro Improvement Association if proper measures were taken to spread the principle. The Negro wealth in the South stood between the masses and their salvation. It was that chans of men to whom the attentions of the U. N. L. A. should be directed. The policy of the white man was this, he told the Negro, prepare somewhere to go, for we are only betting you stay here until we are ready to turn you out, when we no longer need you.
Hon. C. Minus, New York, said it must be remembered that Negroes in the South were taught from the white man's books and literature. The U. N. L. A. must seek to correct this.
Hon. Henrietta V. Redd, Gary. Ind., said she was born in Mississippi, and lived there nearly all her life. She condemned in strong terms, the unsympathetic treatment meted out to Negroes who migrated from the South by their Northern brothers—she referred particularly to the States of Indiana and Illinois.
Hon. L. Jones, Cincinnati, said he was born and reared in the Southern States. As he saw it the U. N. I. A. should concentrate its attention on the preachers and the teacher.
Hon. Haywood Humpton, Georgia, suggested that the heads of great fraternal bodies, such as the United Old Fellows and the Masons, and certainly wealthy Negroes of influence should be brought together in conference.
Hon. D. D. Dantels, New Madrid, Mia, said he was a native of Mississippi, and 76 years of age. The preachers, and teachers, he agreed, were the greatest stumbling block in the way of a successful solution of the problem.
At this stage the adjournment was taken on the motion of Hon. C. Minus, seconded by Hon. R. A. Bachelor.
FRIDAY AFTERNOON, AUGUST 8
On the resumption at 2 o'clock the discussion which engaged attention at the morning session was continued.
Hon. C. Stokes, Middletown, Ohio; Hon. Col. Wattley, New York; Hon. A. R. Patesau, Alliance, Ohio; and Hon. L. Simmons, Blytheville, Ark., spoke suggesting the use of literature and the press.
Hon. J. D. Barber said the eyes of the preacher should be opened, he should not be fought, the preachers were not to blame for they were in the majority of cases mere creatures of a system.
He said that one of the reasons why the south did not want to see the Negroes leave was because they wanted the company of Negro women and it would be an excellent thing if they lined up with the white women of the south, and thereby gaining the friendship of the latter, in fighting the relations of white men with black women.
Hon. B. Hale, Milwaukee, said if the masses were taught and converted, their leaders, the preachers would follow. Hon. Askernese, Farrel, Pa., was of the same opinion. If a house was on fire, he said, the tenants would not wait until the preachers told them to leave.
Hon. Wightman, Chicago, said courage was needed in dealing with the situation.
Hon. J. B. Eaton, strongly condemned the suggestion that the preachers be approached. Get the masses, he declared. It would be a waste of time and money to prepare literature for circulation among the preachers.
Hon. May Boyd, New York, said it was economic stress that prevented Negroes of the north assisting Negroes of the south more than they did when they came north.
The Speaker, Hon. Maffei Garvey, said two important points had been made. The statement of the Hon. Henrietta Bald, in regard to the attitude of the Negro to his brother was true. The big Negro or the educated or privileged Negro cared nothing about the unfortunate Negro. The race as a whole was suffering from the same capitalistic grafting bunch that the white people was suffering from and were now fighting. The fight was an internal one. The race had a group of professional Negroes who had no more consideration for their people than the Devil had for holy water, their one objective being the exploiting the unfortunate of their own race. The average Negro preacher was a curse to the race.
Hon. Johnson; Hon. J. Richardson,
Norfolk, Va.; Hon. A. G. Ellinburg,
Gary, Ind.; Hon. Brown, Miami; Hon.
W. Robertson, Hon. G. A. Weston,
Hon. Allen, Toronto; Hon. Smith, Jersey
City, also spoke, after which the
discussion was closed.
Hon. F. Martin, St. Louis, moved
that a committee of five be appointed
by the speaker to formulate the sug-
gestions as to the ways and means of
adjusting the race problem in the
south.
Hon R. A. Bachelor, seconded and
the motion was carried.
The following committee was
appointed by the Speaker: Hon. Kyle,
W. Va.; Hon. Robertson, Miss.; Hon.
Henrietta Redd, Ind.; Hon. McDowell,
Ark.; Hon. G. A. Logan, Atlanta, Ga.
The meeting then proceeded to discuss ways and means of correctly educating white public opinion to the needs and desires of the Negro race. Hon. Kyle, W. V., said one of the greatest hindrances to the movement was the misunderstanding on the part of the white race and suggested that this understanding he remedied by a system of propaganda put out through

The white man was cool philosophical, logical and calculating and with literature in his hands informing him of the true principles of the association he would be able to appraise the statements of the enemy at their true value.

Hon. Powell, Clackmann; Hon. McDowell, W. Va.; Hon. Rudolph Smith, also spoke, suggesting the dissemination of literature after which Hon. Smith moved that a committee of three be formed to formulate suggestions as to the needs and desires of the Negro race. Hon. Martin seconded and the motion was unanimously carried. The following committee was then appointed by the Speaker: Hon. F. Johnson. Detroit; Hon. Peters. Chicago; Hon. Nicholas, New York.

The convention then adjourned until 2:30 p. m. Sunday, Aug. 10.
FRIDAY EVENING PUBLIC MEET-
ING, AUGUST 9
On Friday evening a public meeting was held, and the hall was packed to the doors in spite of the intense heat. Hon. G. A. Weston, first vice-president of the New York Local, presided, and the principal speakers, named by the Hon. Marcus Garvey at the close of the afternoon business session, were Hon. Bishop J. D. Barber, Hon. D. W. Kyle, West Virginia, and Hon. W. A. Wallace, Illinois.
An excellent concert program was rendered, and the speech-making followed.
Hon. R. A. Bachelor, Oriente, Cuba, in a brief address spoke earnestly of the great task that faced members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association.
Hon: Bishop J. D. Barber spoke from the text, "The lion is come up from his thicket, the destroyer of the fentile, is on his way."—Fourth Chapter. Book of Jeremiah, seventh verse. His address was cloquent and convincing and he evoked enthusiastic applause as he showed, quoting Scripture, that the day was at hand for the rise of the Negro. In the human scale a New world was at hand, the black world, and it behooved black men and women to take hold of their opportunity.
The Fourth International Convention was making history for the race that would last forever. They had proclaimed a Black Jesus and he was sure in the very near future Nogroes would rise up and become, true Ethiopians, throwing off the name Negro given to them by the Caucasian race.
Hon. D. W. Kyle, who was introduced by Hon. Sir William Sherrill, second assistant President-General, as one of the most fearless leaders of the race, took as his subject "Ideas." By close reasoning he showed how the Universal Negro Improvement Association was one of the greatest ideas of the age. If he were asked to name the ten greatest men of the twentieth century his choice would be Rosecvelt. Wilson, Kaiser Bill, Lloyd George, Mussolini, Lenth, Cardinal Mercler of Belgium, Foeh, Gandhi and Garvey. The speaker concluded with an eloquent plea for co-operation and sincerity.
Hon. W. A. Wallace spoke from the text, "There shall come a time when every nation shall be gathered unto their people, and every people unto their country, and he that is left behind shall be thrust through." He referred to the splendid effort being made by the Jews to build up in Palestine, and said he relied that Negrros were now engaged in a similar task in spite of the policy of extermination and subjugation adopted by the dominant race.
The meeting closed with the singing of the Ethiopian national anthem.

INDIAN PRINCESS DAZZLES
NEW YORK WITH GENES
Accompanied by Maharajah
Who Seeks Cure for
Deafness
On the tenth floor of the Waldorf-
Astoria a bearded and turbaned Indian,
who might have stopped out of the
pages of G. A. Heaty or the Geo-
graphic Magazine, paces back and
forth before the apartments of Rajenda Bahadour, Maharajah of Jhind,
potentate from the Punjab.
The Maharajah is growing deaf and he is searching the world for a doctor or a climate which will let him hear again clearly. But his voyage across the Atlantic on the Leviathan was so tiring that he has denied himself to all callers and sends Major Singh, an officer of the Jhind army and the Maharajah's private secretary, to receive all visitors and to explain to the more curious why Her Highness the Maharanee of Jhind wears a diamond in her nose.
The reason for the placing of jewelry in what Americans find an extraordinary position is very simple, the Major
sold today. In India it is considered an 'attractive fashion', as earrings are considered here. The precious stone in her nose, moreover, marks the Maharasan as one of high birth, since none but the members of the highest castes are allowed to wear it. She is the daughter of another Punjab potentate.
Major Singh explains that Jhind is not a large state, boasting only about 1,500 square miles of territory and 300,000 inhabitants, but that it is theoretically an independent state, under the protection of Great Britain. The Maharasan is, therefore, an absolute monarch, subject only to the infrequently exercised right of interference asserted by His Majesty's Government in London.
The eleven members of the Maharajah's retinue are listed on the register of the Waldorf-Astorio simply as "party." because, as Major Singh explains reverently, "we are such inconspicuous persons." The party includes, in addition to Major Singh, His Highness' personal physician, Drs. S. P. Chatterjin, and an English, governess for the children.
The three children, a boy, aged 5, the heir to the throne of Jhind, and two girls aged 5 and 3 spent a large part of yesterday gazing down at the streets of New York from the various windows in their suite and from those in the hall. They were dressed like American or English children and spoke English almost without an accent.

At-is. more than nineteen hundred years ago since Our Father sen
‘Onity' Begotten Son.to redeem fatten mankind. Christ came to thi
. ys wan. He lived on earth for thiity years, teaching the gospe
: and true brotherhood, and living a life of exemplary Man. Fi
# rejected by men’: crucified, died and was buried. But His teachings
“4 wot-die with Him. “On'the contrary, His death was a rebirth of Hi
ghings (which is called Chtistianity). Today millions ef men and
men all over theworld claim the teachings and‘ideals of the Lonely
11 of Galilee as their religion., . : :
Quite recently a white’ clergyman on Long Island delivered a sermon
The-Brotherhood of Man.” Among other things, he said:
Today the chief source of evil in the, world is in the |
weakness, prejudices and selfishness of men, founded on
habits that war’ against the unity of the family of God.
“here‘is a growing interest in three significant movements
the Christian Church—Christian missions, Christian unity
‘ Christian peace. There are some non-Christians who
ct to the. use of the adjective “Christian,” but ‘it cannot -
snied it is Christ who has given: the greatest impetus
. to’. .movemehts for the. promotion of brotherhood among
men. * ial *,
So in His teaching we find that secret of self-tealization
-and-of- peace and -good will among men. In His: teaching
that man {s a member of a spiritual family of which God is
_; the Father and all men brothers, we have the noblest and ©
“;. wisest solution for the: problems of life and cure for its ills.
_ We quite agree with our white brother when he asserts that the
teaching of Him who died on the cross is the secret of peace and good-
will among men, The white race has had: this secret for hundreds of
" years, but they have not yet started to practice this secret, this: Chris-
tianity. «They have been generous enotigh to pass on this religion to the
other races of the world ; they advocate it, but, because of selfishness and
‘gpeed, they speak with their lips, but theif hearts are evil, and they, prac-
tige evil... 5
As individuals, in all races we have good Christians, but as a Chris
am race willing to practice Christianity we'believe that the Negro race
a4he one most prepared and willing to practice the true brotherhood of
yan. But it is mote than apparent that the other faces are not prepared,
pal it would be fuolhardiness on the part of a weak, struggling race to
give love and’ fellowshi; in return’ f@t hate and prejudice. The other
races practice Christianity scientifically; based upon the material ‘things
ofslife, and they-will not be.willing to lift up Weak races and place them
omequalit® platforms sntil weak races on their own initiative get mate-
rial power. such as wealth, munitions, ships and airplanes in a homeland
of their own, Then-thé strong, white race will be willing to say “Wel-
come brother!” to the black race, because the former will then have

SAMEDI, LE 16 AOUT, 1924
Quatre milliones de Négres—Membres de l'Association
Universelle pour l'Avancement de la Race Négre—
Poivent voter et travailler ensemble au mois de
l'embre—Les Négres qui sont au pourvoir fort
souvent sont les pirent ennemis de la Race
Conteignons de la Race Negre: Saute.
La Quatrième Convention. Internationale des Peuples Négres du Monde est actuellement en session.
La nomenclature des faits brillants de la semaine écoulée est le gage solenel de la détermination de notre peuple d'arriver au bout de leur entreprise.
Les délégués, qui représentent les diverses unités de la Race, en assemblée générale ont, et le'occasion de démontrer leur sincerité, leur fidélité et leur devotion à la cause de la Universal Negr Improvement Association. Revue d'un cachet de dignité parlementaire. L'esprit de cette Convention est quelque chose d'unique dans les annales de notre histoire. Nous n'avons jamais vu ni entendu jusqu'à cette heure les raits dont nous citions les temoinns de la part de la foule recieie à Liberty Hall. Les hommes et la femme perdant pour un instant leur individualité se sont adonnées corps, âme et esprit à leur objectif supérieur—celui de l'émancipation, la rehabilitation de la Race et de l'émancipation d'une contrée. Adressées au Supremie Auteur de nos destinées comme peuple, nos pièces requêtes pour que ce même esprit se manifeste, pendant toute la durée de la Convention.
Parmi les questions vitales qui sont à l'ordre du jour, celles-ci est proimente, savoir, la création de l'Union Politique. Négre. La dite Union sera l'organe politique des 400,000,000 de Négres du unne entier. Faut-il bien, d'urgence, que nous ayons une organisation politique pour pouvoir exprimer les opinions de notre Race. Pendant l'année 1924 les 4,000,000 membres de la Universal Negro Improvement Association en Amérique voteront en bloc pour les hommes houncés pour les principes qui constituent notre ideal, comme Race.
La Race Négre doit voter en masse, comme un bloc solide. Nous allons montrer à nos ennemis qu'ils ne peuvent continuer à nous insulter impeniment, à nous traiter avec indignité, et croire que nous allons les faire bénéficier de nos saffrages. Si l'urne signifie quelque chose (nous savons ce que c'est que le vote), alors on saura toute l'influence du vote de la Race. Négre en Amérique, pendant l'année en cours.
Nous sommes fiers d'une chose, ce que les membres de la Universal sont fideles aux traditions précomises par notre association. Nous ne manquons pas de faire connaître en temps et qu'elle disposition nous allons prendre à l'égard du vote Négre; la Convention en décidaire. Que nous les disposons en faveur des Democrates en ou en favors des Républicaines, on en favour d'une tierce partie, c. a. d. d'un groupe indépendant, les dits votes, se seront données qu'aux hommes dont les principes sont décidiment en faveur du bien-être de la Race Négre et les intérêts commens de la Nation et de la Universal Negro Improvement Association.
L'Association en Universelle pour L'Avancement de la Race Negre a de la place pour tous les membres de la Race, sans exception. Les renegres se dérobert et les traitres ont pour: mais ceux qui sont sincères ceux qui sont fideles à la Race et à ses destinées peuvent toujours trouser ver une place dans les rangs de la Universal Negro Improvement Association.
Comme les delegues du peuple, assemblés en conclave, pour représenter les intérêts de la collectivité et pour-avirre l'oeuvre de la reconstitution confiance à nos soins, nous demandons aux peuples dont nous sommes les mandataires, de se缔er nos efforts afin que cette convention soit un brillant succès L'Association a un besoin de fonds pressant pour pouvoir achever son programme pour la régénération de la Race.
Ceux qui ne peuvent assister à la convention peuvent,ependant, aider la cause en envoyant leurs donations afin que L'Association soit uneme de poursivre sans encombre l'oeuvre dont nous avons la charge Nous faisons également un appel en faveur de la Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company.

Hommage à L'Artiste, Mme. M. M. Sharpperson Young, pour ses créations ingénieuses, à l'occasion de la Quartrième Convention Internationale des Peuples Négres du Monde
Parmi les personnes qui ont pris une part active dans la grande parade du premier août, et qui, par leur savoir, leur esprit d'initiative, et leurs indefatigables efforts, ont fait de cette dite parade un succès legendaire, nous citons le nom de Mme. M. M. Scharperson Young, la ligne Présidente de la Court Royale des Dames de l'Ethiopie.
La Court Royale est une Société auxiliaire de la Universal Negro Improvement Association.
D'une personalité gracieuse et élégante, de manières affables, douéc d'une intelligence très développée. Mme. Young est, par sa vocation et par le genie, un dissinateur de premier ordre. Cette artiste à talents rares est très habile et d'une finesse de goût très original. C'est grace à son savoir, son esprit second que la parade a été rechaussée par les divers "Floats" (Tableaux Vivants), dont les caractères historiques—"L'Ethiopie construit le Pavilion national de l'Afrique", "L'Ethiopie plaidant sa Cause devant la Ligue des Nations", "Les Infirmières de la Croix Noire"—font la gloire et l'écclat brillants de la dite parade.
La section française du Negro World, envoie à l'illustre Mme. Scharperson Young, l'expression de ses plus chaleureuses félicitations pour son genie distinctif. La Race entière peut se féliciter, des talents de Mme. Young.
T. S.
Si une partie de l'Assemblée applaudit au geste de Gopinath, l'assassin de ce sujet britannique, c'est en.restant fidèle à la taïque du Malmaut.
Le mouvement Gandhiste
Les journaux, anglais exagérent à plaisir les nouvelles d'un schisme dans le mouvement national indien. Nous sommes en mesure d'affirmer que Gandhi desapprouvait le meurtre de l'Anglais M. Day, continue de conduire la conference du Bengale dans les voies de la nomenclature.
D'ailleurs Gandhi annonce qu'il va prendre des mesures pour supporter à toute tentative de violence et que si le congres nationaliste indien ne le suit pas, il fondera une nouvelle organisation fidèle à ses principes de non-violence.
THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, AUGUST 16, 1984
En dépit de la laison déjà avancee, une assistance brillante, et nombreuse se pressait au dernier concert, générésement donné par notre ami Roland Hayes au bénéfice de la Ligue Universelle pour la Défense de la Race Noire, et sous la présidence de notre directeur, le Prince Kojo Tovalou Houenou.
Le programme était particulièrement heureux, qui comprenait notamment des oeuvres de Beethoven et de Bach et aussi quelque-unsides fauxeux "nego spirituals."
Les musiciens accoupinent d'honorer en Bach le père de leur art, non pas qu'ils enlèvent leur juste prié aux écoles qui l'ont précédé les neunies gregioriens, si airiers et souples qu'ils sont comme de transparentes parés flappontes, les contpoints de la Renaissance, qui, prolongement de la supreme des architectures flamboyantes, combinent les voix humaines en mille cheveux au subtifs, les maitres du XVIII siècle, donnent toujours à nos sensibilités modernes les plus raires plaires. Mais Bach, a construit à la musique un temple achèvé et immuables, dans quelque route qu'elle s'engage désormais, elle sera jouée domine par ce divin Acropole. Miracle permanent d'un cœur merveilleusement riche, qui s'exprime naturellement dans la langue la plus severe et la plus pure. Quelles qualités une telle oeuvre, la plus surprenante réussite peut-être de l'Océant n'exige telle pas de ses interprétables. Il semblait bien qu'elle n'existe ses interprétables qu'à des âmes en en quelque sorte faconnées de longes siecles d'hérédité et de culture européennes: or un noir, d'une lingue longtemps courbée, sous le servage, et qui, a conserve pur en ses veines le sang des lointains et comme légendaires origines africaines trouve les accent et le style qui convient à l'un des chants les plus sublimes du maître d'Eisenach. Ne recevons-nous pas la de graves et fécondes leconz? Elles nous disent la sottise des lutte-nations et des haines de race et rendent un céatant témoignage à l'universalité de L'art, qui rend une mère ferveur les hommes que séparent les montagnes et les mers.
Es satisfaire de depreindre l'émotion que donne Roland Haves à son auditeur quand il chante les "négro spiritual" ? Tres différences de celles des jazz (à qu'il faut bien d'ailleurs rendre hommage) s'en interpretation jailit des profondeurs les plus amonnantes du tempérament négre; alors que les jazss mettent en valeur des qualités de rhythme, de vie fréquie et de débordance. Haves en exprise plutôt la religiosité. Thumanite douleuruse et inquice. Il fait vibrer en nous des cordes, séretes et fontaines, dont le son nous est à la fois orange et familier; à leur appel anguise, nous nous sententant d'une même mère; humbies, amoureux d'une chaine dont l'origine et la funne nous également inconnue.
Le 10 anniversaire de la victoire de la Marne
Le 10e anniversaire de la victorie de la Marine ser celebre à Meaux, le dimanche 7 septembre.
M. Lugol, maire de Meaux, sénateur de Seine-et-Marne, a demande à M. Herriot de présider cette commemoration, à laquelle la municipalité se propose de donner un trés-grand éclat. Le président du conseil a accepte.
vons nous acquitter et permettre ainsi qu'un accord soit possible. Nous avons contre nous non seulement les nationalistes français, mais aussi les nationalistes, allenands. Notre devoir est de renverser cette autre Bastille, celle de la haine.
M. Gumbel, professeur à Heidelberg; lui succéde et proclame également la nécessité de l'union entre les peuples. Il demande en outre que l'Allemagne paie les réparations.
M. Grumbach, prononce ensuite en allemand un discours tres applaude et reclame une minute de reechement pour tous les miorts de la guerre, puis il lit une resolution disant notamment:
— Les rapports de voisinage entre les deux grandes Républiques d'Allemagne et de France constituent une des conditions essentielles de l'établissement de la paix définitive.
La réalisation des réparations justifiées de la République Francee d'une part, le respect de l'indépendance et de l'junité économique et politique de la République Allemande d'autre part, procureront aux deux pays la sécurité à laquelle leurs peuples ont droit et permettront l'antisément des nationalismes.
Des discours de MM. Stecker, professeur à l'Université d'Jena, et Barthélemmy, professeur au lycée de Mayance, ont clôturé cette magnifique réunion.
MORT DE SIR JOHN EDWARD BRUCE
M. John Edward Bruce vient de mourir à l'age de soixante-huit ans.
Ce brave héro de la Race qui vient de déposer ses armes était, malgré les désavantages de son jeune âge, un journaliste de première ordre:
Editeur de plusieurs journaux et écrivain de haut valeur, M. Bruce simpose par sa haute moralité et par ses qualités intellectuelles. Homme de conviction et d'une intrepidite sans égale, M. Bruce laisse ce monde avec les regrets de ses nombreux anis. A la veuve éplorée de Sir John Edward Bruce, nous envoyons nos plus vives condoléances. La section Française du Negro World s'associe partiellement à ce deuil qui vient de frapper tous les journaux de notre Race, R. I. P.
L'Empire du Négus cherche son Indépendance Economique-Protestations de la France
gient ete aimantes par ce projet.
Cela est d'autant plus, vraisemblable que le Gouvernement abyssin a accountu d'attirer l'étranger par l'appat des monopoles. Cette eventualité de l'obtention de privileges dans un pays ou les ressources immediatamente exploitables son nombrebres n'a pu manquer d'allécher tel ou tel consortium.
(Le Courrier des Etats Unis.)
Le gouverneimem ehiopien, desireux de se créer un débouché maritime direct, a engage des tracations avec le gouverneimem français en vue de se faire concercer à Djibouti même une enclave, attribution, en toute propriété à L'Abyssinie, d'une partie de l'orere port.
Eh bien!-que le monde financier apprendre donc, s'il ne le sait, qu'en Abyssinie, plusieurs monopoles ont eie vendus deja et le Gouvernementussin s'est arrangé, chaque fois, pour en paralyser l'exploitation, les reprendre au moment oui les bénéficiaires, de guerre lasse, les ontabandonnes et les alienner ensuitepour recommencer le ménue jeu avecles nouveaux acheteurs.
Ainsi, constate dans la "Correspondance Universelle" M. Ernest Outrey, deputé de Cochinchine, l'Ethiopie obtientrait son independence économique, au détriment de la France.
Quant au Gouvernement abyssin,
lui, a oui vise-t-il?
Dijbonti, en effet, a été créé de toutes pièces par la France, qui avaient besoin, pour ses lignes de navigation de FOccan Indien, de Extreme Orient et du Pacifique, d'un pignon descale à la sortie de la mer Rouge. Cest en 1885 que nous nous sommes établis sur cette route, n'ai été édificiés alors que de vares huttes de pêcheurs Issas. A la fave de cette création française, Dijbonti ne tarde pas à devenir un pong de transit important, drainant du Hammar; dix ans plus tard, 4,000 habitants se pressaient déjà dans la nouvelle aggléération. Puis, ce fut de 1894 à 1917, la construction, par une Société Française, d'une ligne de chemins de fer reliant notre port à Addis-Abbaba et, en 1898, 10,000 habitants peuplaient la colonie; le recensement de 1921 accuse 65,000 habitants, compte tenu, cela va sainire, de l'élement nomade, très important dans ce pays.
A accouvoir ses échanges, à procurer à son commerce extérieur des facilités nouvelles? Non, il vise tout simplement à réaliser un bénéfice immédiat pour subvenir aux besoins personnels de l'Impatience, du Prince Regeint, des Ras, et des différents dignitaire qui manquent constaint de ressources.
L'Abyssinie, certes, est, intéressante par sa population, ses richeses naturelles, la situation que nous nous y sommes créée; mais il n'existe pas de Gouvernement abyssinien capable de prendre des responsabilités. Le pays se complément déorganisé, peu sur pour le Prince Régout lui-même et cela est si vrai que les célibié voyage, il lijge plus prudent d'émener avec lui, comme antant d'otages, les ras dont l'Amédition, en son absence, pourrait être tentée.
Le maximum que, raisonnablement, nous puissions faire pour ce pays c'est lui consentir un crédit anisié. L'age que possible; mais ce à qu'on ne saurions consentir, sauf l'écest à l'Fabandon an profit de l'Ahysinie, des interêts qui constituent la base necine de notre influence politique et économique à la cote des Somalis.
Le commerce general réflète une progression parallele; il était de 5, 284,055 francs en 1899; de 90,000,000 en 1916; de 142,964,071 en 1918; de 203,157,510 francs en 1919; de 34,852,444 francs en 1920, et depuis quelques années déjà, par son trafic commercial, Dijlhouv vient au quatrième rang de nos possessions, devrage de pou par Madagascar.
Et nous serions bien insensés de mois alliser influencer par cetteorte de chantage qui consiste pour le Ras Tafari à voyager au Anglaterte et en balie comme pour insimer que ses offres iront à d'autres nations si la France ne les accente pas.
En ce qui concerne la navigation, le port de Dijonhti a été frecuent au cours de l'année 1923, par 315 navires, dont 11 navires de quaterel 304 navires de commerce parmi lesquels le pavillon français tient le premier rang; la comparaison avec l'année 1922 fait ressortir pour 1923 une différence en plus de 52 navires à l'entrée et 49 à sortie.
L'éthiopie, qui n'est pas une moussous laisser un influencer par cette admission dans la Société des Nations, meux traité amis que LE Gyppe, par exemple, qui敛容 diment beaucoup plus d'homme génére dins ses institutions, ne sent maître et se déveloper en oblige de, appétit, nonveux.
L'Éthiopie, grâce à notre chien de fer et à notre port, a vu son essor économique de développer prodigieusement, elle est donc notre oldiege. Or, aujourd'hui, sous le fallaieux protrese que la voie ferre est question et pour 7. Se construite en territoire chériopin, et pour 1. Se seulement en territoire français on trouve tout naturel que de non-velles faculties, allant jusqu'élabourd de nos intérêts, soient acoudis par notre petite colonie à l'Abssime.
La Française est bien divisée en disciplines signes. Enseigne de l'Etude que les conventions de collecte.

Les peuples doivent s'unir dans la justice et pour
C'est précisément parce que nous ne possédons dans cette partie de l'Afrique qui une maigre bande de terre que nous ne saurions consentir, sans danger pour notre influence, à l'abandon du mouindre hectare.
Nous avons conçu avec l'Thiopie des traités nets, bien adaptés aux intérêts conjugués de l'Empire du Négus et de la France. Grâce à ces conventions, nous étions garantis contre, toute inimixion étrangère, contre toute dépossession d'aucune nature et, corréativement, nous assurions à l'Ethiopie par-notre chemin de fer, le débouche sur la mer qui lui était indispensable.
- Mayenne, 13 juillet - La manifestation pour la poix qui a eu lieu en matin au paré municipal de Mayenne a été favorise par un temps superbe. Cinq a six mille personnes se trouvaient reunes.
- M. Ferdinand Bunson, président de la Ligue des Droits de l'Homme, a pris d'abord la parole et indiqué le but de la manifestation:
- Nous sommes ici, duil, pour affirmer solemnement que l'heure est venu des grands changements.
- Faisant au lieu au traité de Vergaille, l'orateur dit que le pape entre les nations, qui dénonte leur volotime d'eu finir avec la guerre, c'est la declaration du droit des peuples.
Dans quel but, aujourd'hui蒸 draition modifier cette charte synal lagmatique qui satisfait les deux pays?
On a parlé de la nécessité de renforcer l'amitié qui nous lie déjà à l'Abyssinie? . Cette assertion gratuite ne trompera personne; derrière cette explication de sentimentalité quasi-absurde, il y a, n'en doutons pas, la main de l'Etranger; troublires pas que l'Angletterre pessaye d'internationaliser le chemin de fer lorsque nous avons engagement pour sa construction, des pourpatiers avec-Menelick; troublires pas tous les efforts faits, depuis quelque temps, par le Cabinet de Saint-Janes pour detourner au profit du port britannique de Zeilah le trafic croissant de Diiibouti.
H. proclame la necessité d'une union sincère entre tous les peuples et souhaite que toute haine disparaisse. En terminant, il declaree: — Nous pensons que ce n'est pas mpriser notre pays que de dire qu'il a quelque chose an-dessus de la France et au-dessus de l'Allemagne, c'est l'humanité; au-dessus d'elle, c'est la justice parlant au nom de la conscience humaine. — Le député socialiste allemand Bretschneider prend ensuite la parole et remercier M. Buisson, dont toute la vie a été consacrée à travailler pour la paix.

the king's life and of all that was dear to the king's heart, and as a sworn officer when he joined David's forces he had forfeited his claim to respect and, consideration at the hands of society, and therefore David had committed a breach unworthy of his most exalted position, that he had cast rejection upon his own personal character in extending the hand of welcome to a traitor and villain like Abner. But David was fully justified. An oath committing the use of one's powers against God or anything that is good and righteous is unlawful, and a man who will throw off the restraint of such an act and line up with the opposite side, representing truth and righteousness, is worthy of most supreme exaltation.
It may again be argued that Abner acted in his own selfish interest when he abandoned Saul and that, although he knew that God's purpose was to establish David over all Israel, he Abner, had set up Ishbohelte king over the eleven tribes in opposition to David. It may still further be argued that the known will of God on Abner's part was but a cognizant pretext for the gratification of his own revenge and ambition. It must be argued that Abner's tardy obedience to the truth was unreal and therefore unacceptable to God, however helpful it may have been to David. But of course the world is bound to have its way for a time at least. But the outstanding fact in the life of Abner is that he enlisted on God's side and remained faithful to God's cause even to his last day.
"And the king said unto his servant, know ye that there is a prince and a great man fallen this day in Israel."
May I be permitted, my friends, to borrow three words from David, and tell you of our friend Lovi Jenkins Coppin, that a prince and a great man has fallen this day among us, except that Coppin had in a sense a truer and more perfect title to his princely estate than had Abner. Abner was made prince by royal decree and Coppin himself was a prince of the realm. He was born a prince and the princely qualities everywhere were manifested in his life and his relationship with his fellowmen. He maintained himself in a princely attitude. His life throughout, nothing mean, nothing miserly, ever characterized his action. He came into the world with the strivings of his soul always upward and he never once stepped down. Poverty was his early companion and he converted it turned it into untold service. Never has there been a pall or shadow around the humble home in Cecilitown, Md., in which he was born. There his mother acquainted him with the letters of the alphabet, and there also she introduced him to the ways of the Lord. I had the honor of knowing his mother—one of those modest, retiring women whom you found in goodly numbers years ago—a devout, praying Christian, she was thoroughly consecrated to her family and to God. She had a way of storing away in her heart and mind the things worthwhile and communicating them to her children, and thus make them strong. The other was himself a very thrifty man, both by what the son says of him in his "Unwritten History," and from what he related himself to me last winter touching a family incident. He said that one of his aunts lived in Delaware at a point not far from Cedarown, and was accustomed to come over as she could to visit her sister. In these days people of color in the slave states were not allowed to go without permission across one slave from another. But presuming that the fact that the distance was short she ventured to come over into Cedarown without that pardon, it was discovered that the seg-

iation had been violated, there was a great connection in the community, and the court was arrested and fined. The mother stopped furfard and apprised the small earnings he had managed to lay side, from the small jobs he had done from time to time, and only thus was the family spared from greater embarrassment.
Lovl increased his stock of learning through his own efforts and in his young manhood days after the emancipation he taught school in Delaware, having for his companion in the business John Stevens Durham, who in after years became one of the editors of the Evening. Lulletin in this city, and afterward U. S. Plenipotentiary Minister to Haiti. It was while teaching in Delaware that he received an impression to a call to the Christian ministry. He started with the aim of making full proof of his holy calling and he said to me on several occasions that there were ministers whom he set up as examples and marks which he desired to reach because of their great learning and great pulpit power, and among them was the Rev. T. G. Steward. He said he wanted to be a minister of that class. That he fulfilled his ambition is easily settled in your mind, if you ever heard him preach. He was one of the most accomplished preachers not only of our church or race, but that America ever produced. Always exegetical, lacking up the word of God with the same word of God, he had the art of making the Bible preach itself and he never failed to lift his hearers up to the altitude and one never left his service without feeling illuminated and enlightened in the scriptures and such subjects as tend to help to make the scriptures clear and compreensible.
He was an ardent student, especially along the line of his calling, though I have known him to devote time to the works that constitute what may be called the American classics and English and others of other grades. He was at home in any subject you might take up with him: whether history, ancient or modern; whether the sciences or theology, or biography, and he was perfectly at home with the ancient classics, and he kept himself posted on all current events. He was not only what we call a well educated man, but a learned man. One of his most remarkable gifts was in making use of all that he had read and making what he attempted to say so practical and simple to everybody that listened to him that truly it was an education in itself to have had a day's association with him.
He was a ready writer. I have seen him ask to be excused for a few minutes and bring back with him documents and addresses as finished and comprehensible and pointed as ever come from our most advanced writers and statesmen. His several books bespeak a mind vastly cultivated and sustained and pitches always to a high key. The style of his first books lay along the side of that of Thomas A. Kempis and of H. Francis of Assine—a style reflecting the atmosphere of the cloister—somewhat mystic, giving a meaning far more extended than the word used would suggest. But one who had been accustomed to read after him would not be slow to discover how more direct and rugged his style became after his sojourn of four years in South Africa, especially should that; one be convinced after reading his "Relation of Baptized Children to the Church," and his "Key to Scriptural Interpretation." He should read his, South African Letters. I have often thought was that change to be attributed to the configuration of South Africa with its rugged mountains or to the rugged character of the work that he had to do in that land.
THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, AUGUST 16, 1924
tastes, a man who possessed a deep sense of proportion and of relationship as to persons and things. He abhored extravagance in speech or diction. He frowned down upon anything that looked like display. The truly necessary things for him at all times, no waste, no excess, no loss for time. Everything had to stand for something. And yet, he was a most generous man, generous in his affection and sympathy... He was always in administration to human needs. He lived well and surrounded himself with abundant comfort, and no person suffered or was pinched by poverty or troubled by misrepresentation but that he would be there with his means to relieve that person, or with his great strength and influence to defend and rescue that person. He had a fondness for children, a fondness that amounted almost to adoration. In his pastorates children were the objects of his first care. He was always stirred that parents should so far neglect their children as to let them become victims to such delusions as that the dancing floor or the card table were suitable places for the children; and I often heard him say: "I would sooner bury my child than see her at a dance." He was a Methodist to his very bones and marrow, and to him the teachings of the fathers and God's revealed word were the only words that could lead to excellence in this life and to happiness in the life to come.
He was a most devoted friend. Though a man with pronounced conviction, and though his stalwart frame measured every inch as much in courage as it did in stature, he often subordinated his ideas to those of his friends to avoid misunderstanding or offense. He had the art of keeping his friends, and his interest and love for them was unbounded.
On his return from South Africa, we were taken off our feet as we saw him pulling over the old rough cobblestone paved streets of Baltimore looking up his old friends of twenty years and more back when he pastored Bethel Church. Baltimore, and the greeting given them would have moved a poet, and challenged an artist, so cordial and fuleghe he was.
He was to a marked degree a public spirited man and loved his race with a passionate love. Nothing that was calculated to advance the race along any line, whether of education or economics, whether of a social or political character, but that without reserve he would line up behind it. If it required his money to make that thing go, he would put his money in it. If that money went wrong, he would put his money behind another. If it was something to lift up the Negro in his social or political life, he would lay by it until something was done. He was in common parlance a "live wire" where he lived and a mighty factor in shaping its life. He was a man among princes and the people respected and honored him. He was the high priest over his household. He would lift up his hands in holy reverence before God in their behalf, he would plan for their welfare and provide for their comfort, but never for one moment condescending to them. He was their brother, uncle, cousin, and all else, and they realize today that their best earthly friend has passed away.
He loved and honored and respected his wife and baby in the glow of his fireside. To be introduced into that circle and allowed to tarry a while was in itself a benediction. His contribution to the church as a minister and bishop is a heritage that shall grow more and more precious with the years. He was dignified, able, progressive, and brotherly. The most difficult position a man may fill in this present day is that of a bishop in the African Methodist Episcopal Church. There is no place perhaps where a man's motives
are more misunderstood. his acts subjected to more severe misinterpretation, and has labors more overlooked or underestimated. But when Bishop Levi Jenkins Coppin's labors shall have been measured, not in the light of pur prejudices and not with preconceived ideas and notions, but in a calm, im partial and judicial spirit, men will say that he was a rare character, like unto whom we do not meet every day, and we may say today that the world has been made richer and better for his having lived in it.
Tuskegee Institute Opens With 648 Teachers
June 3.—The fifteenth annual session of the Summer School for Teachers opened Monday, June 2, at Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, with an opening day enrollment of 648 teachers. This number is twelve less than the total enrollment of last year, and 32 short of the record-breaking attendance of 1922. Registration opened Saturday morning and at the close Monday afternoon there was yet a large number to be registered and still others are expected to arrive during the second week. These indications point to the largest enrollment in the fifteen years of summer school work at Tuskegee Institute.
The unprecedented attendance this year is due largely to the extension of the summer school session from six weeks to twelve weeks and the crediting of the work done during the summer session toward a regular Tuskegee Institute Diploma. Special courses for Jeanes supervisors, principals of

Another addition to the regular course of study which has attracted many teachers this summer is the Junior College Department which offers splendid opportunities to graduates of accredited high schools in business practice, teacher-training in elementary and secondary subjects and teacher-training in home economics. This department was well filled in all of its several divisions when work began Tuesday morning.
Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal, stated that the summer session will be divided into two distinct terms, thus enabling those who cannot remain for the twelve weeks to complete special courses of study as in previous years. 7 will offer similar advantages to those unable to attend the first session. The and the second term, which opens July present enrollment, however, is for the entire summer session.

GENEVA. August. 4.—Communism is working well in a section of Africa, according to an official report submitted to the Permanent Mandates Commission of the League of Nations. The former German colony of Southwest Africa, now under the mandate of the Union of South Africa, is the district where Communism has been tried among the natives. M. Hoffmeyr, administrator, told the commission that extensive agricultural reserves have been set apart for the population. These reserves have a total area of 20,000,000 acres and the tribes live on this land under a regime of Communism.
Irrigation, agricultural equipment and public schools have been provided. The natives are under a governor who is assisted by a local council.
From the New York Herald Tribune
LONDON.—Will an American some day control the Nile River? The prospect is not so remote as it might seem, and has been brought prominently before the British public by no less a person than Viscount Grey in connection with the new demand made by Zaghlul Pasha, Egypt's Premier, for dominion over the Sudan.
LONDON—Will an American The prospect is not so remote as it prominently before the British Viscount Grey in connection with Pasha, Egypt's Premier, for dom Tails demand, which has been pressed more or less strongly ever since 1832, elicited a prompt refusal from the British government, Lord Parmor, the Labor Lord President of the Council, declaring in the House of Lords, "Great Britain is not going to abandon the Sudan in 'any seagate whatsoever.'
With remarkable unanimity. Conservative and Liberal statesmen and publicists backed up this declaration, Lord Grey, however, while agreeing that Egypt should have no say concerning the government of the Sudan, admitted Egyptian interest in rationing of Nile water. A glance at the map will explain this to most Americans, who, like most, English, may vaguely think of the Sudan as a place where "Fuxzy Wuzzy," of Kipling's poems, comes from.
Government Since 1899
Since 1899 African territory south of the 22d parallel of latitude has been governed jointly by Egypt and Great Britain—which, one might add, means governed largely by Great Britain. It is perfectly obvious that whoever controls this territory controls the sources of the Nile, and with them in the last resort the fortunes and prosperity of all lower Egypt, clear to Alexandria.
"As The London Star" remarks, "The Sudan is going to be one of the world's great cotton-growing areas." Irrigation, however, is absolutely necessary, and water for irrigation must come from the Nile. For instance, it is estimated the dam on the Blue Nile, at Makwar, 170 miles south of Khartoum, will open 100,000 acres for cotton growing.
The Egyptians are apprehensive lest the diversion of this water should diminish their own supplies. Hence Lord Grey suggests a joint Anglo-Egyptian commission to control Nile water, "of which, following an admirable precedent, an American might be made impartial chairman."
"We must insure that Egypt does not starve the Sudan and that the Sudan does not starve Egypt," said Lord Grey.
If this suggestion should mature, and there is no reason why eventually it should not, there would be created a post for some American—a post which, through its implication, would mean control of the destinies of 18,000,000 persons, inhabiting 1,350,000 square miles of territory.
The appointment of an American to such a position would add a fresh chapter to the story of the Sudan, which during the last hundred years has been largely trapped. It was in 1810

Scientist Makes Wonderful Discovery—Says No Man Under 100 Years Should Feel Old
A new discovery is aside to have made by a scientific study of Scabian mountain people who, scientists say, live longer than any other people. It is said this discovery will help scientists to all parts of the world and quickly restore many strength, youthful vigor, grace and beauty lost by neglect or abuse. Scientists agree that the secret of health and vigor in the internal glands and, if these glands are blocked, the men might live forever and adorns such as tread, worn-out feeling, weakness, nervousness, poor memory, premature scentility, scrawny neck, reglessness at night, pain, headache, sleepiness, dependency, etc., should disappear.
The difficulty encountered by the medical staff is the need to make the hair grow for the glands. This new discovery is simple, perfectly harmless, inexpensive, and can be used.

that Mehemet All, the Egyptian leader,
first conquered the territory now
known as the Sudan. In 1888, after
several abortive rallings, the Mabist
movement swept the Egyptians from
the country.
In the '98s the Egyptians sought
British aid, and Kipling's "Sergeant
Whatismine" began training the
Egyptian levies. By September, 1898,
the British under Kitchener had com-
pleted the reconquest of the Sudan—
and very nearly precipitated war with
France, incidentally, over the Fashoda
incident. Since that time the develop-
ment of the Sudan has continue-under
joint Anglo-Egyptian control.
When, at the end of the war, Great Britain proposed abolishing the projectorate she had assumed over Egypt, the question of the future of the Sudan was reserved from the list of subjects to be discussed. Now that the Egyptian nationalists have been told fatally that there is no chance whatever for the Sudan to be handed over to Egyptian sovereignty, it will be interesting to see how Lord Grey's compromise suggestion of an American chairman for a committee to ration Nile irrigation will be received in Cairo.

In a lengthy communication to his comrades of the Legions of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League, Hon. Wilmer J. Roberson says some things which will interest the readers of The Negro World. We take from his address the following:
"We have been called upon to do a service, a service to ourselves, a service to our community, to our race, and for the civilized world at large. We have answered the call upon our own will and judgment because we believe in the program that actuated the call. We have taken our place within a group of men and women who are fighting for a cause in which we age deeply interested and concerned. Therefore we felt it our duty to become a unit among the many others that go to make up the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League. We have said to those in authority: We are here, assign us to the many duties of bearing this downrodden race to independence and to nationhood." We are here, not to be frightened away by insignificant enemies but to stick to the principles that govern the actions of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. We are here to step to the world: The Universal Negro improvement Association has a program in which all men and women of the Negro race may fill those places in life intended by our Creator for man and woman to fill. We are out to reach and maintain that future."
"Our ambitions and desires have been manifest by the fact that we have taken up our part of the great burden and stand ready to bear it to success. We are not expecting to reach this success without encountering some opposition, for our work is like trading bad for good, and the only way to be successful is to out-wit the other fellow. What we should do is to close our eyes to our present surroundings and fight for the goat set by us as our objective. This being done, we are-sure to take along with us all that we come in contact with in our rush for success.
"Our enemies are like a piece of waste clinging none too secure to the bank of a stream. They are there only to be forced away by the mighty power of the rushing water. We are to be like the water. Our determination must be such as to force the enemies to give up their job of trying to destroy us and join the ranks with a willing mind to be of some service to this great cause. This sounds well enough, but in order to make it an established fact, we as a people, must put our shoulders to the great wheel and do our part in pushing it up the hill. Our success largely depends upon our activities while in the act of making preparations to receive the future as we see it, looking through determined eyes. The success that we are fighting for is still ahead of us, and we can reach it only by hard and continuous fighting, not on the part of one man or one woman, but as a whole. We must join our forces together.
"The Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League deemed it necessary to have a military department, the same being authorized and roiling into effect some time ago. Then the call went out for soldiers to fill the ranks. The call was answered by men and women, and today we have in practically all the divisions a military auxiliary.
"Why was it, it one might ask, they wanted a military department in the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League? Well, I would say that, as other organizations of note, we needed soldiers to wear the principles of this great organization, not only at heart, but as a garment also. We needed men and women to wear the uniform adopted by the Association, so that when one see them he not only sees a man in a uniform, but will be able to see in his uprightness, his determined expression, and his nobility the principles of the organization which he represents.
'Now, as we see it, in this uniform there must be a power, and this power can in no way be better described than: The man in the uniform.' It is in his loyalty, dependability and courage that the nation or race places its confidence. We are doing what you might, call 'getting together,' and we expect for every person to play a part. We will also take special notice of the most disciplined division, those who are sending in to this office the required monthly and yearly reports. If you have not the proper report, Blanks, write for them and they will immediately be sent to your division for your use. We are placing a great responsibility in our
commanding ethics and solving them to meet every effort in this direction. We want every man and woman to be strictly up to the principle of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Community League. And, I might say, that when the call is called, only those who have been praised in the workplace of this work good employers for the first change. We are joking at you, every one, through the great eyes of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and African Communities League, hoping to see you in the field of labor, ever working for the redemption of that great continent and our future home—Africa."
THE CRIMSON CROSS
By J. ELMER WARRELL
What care they for the Crimon Cress
Who practice only might;
Whose pleasure is another's loss—
All heedless of the right:
The sun of eve his farewell shone
As near approached the night.
As Christless Christians led him on.
A man bereft of right.
While Christ of Gallilee again
Beheld Golgotha's height;
Feeling the loneliness, the pain,
Of one bereft of right.
Once more He climbs the steep incline
Of rugged calvary;
For Him no silver crosses shine—
Hard wood and nails only.
He sees the shameless in their shame,
The Christians in their might—
For horrors of Golgotha claim
A man bereft of right.
Christ sees the priests of Holy Road,
The cross of silver hue.
Who spurn the cross of crimson wood,
Only to Moloch true.
How silently do priests approve
The hapless victim's fate:
For hever they in mercy, move
Such misery to abate:
"Forgive them, they know not, men.
The depth of wrong they do"
Christ cries and then, "Foresaken.
O God—seen by the few."
Dead is the faith; the illies bloom
Where love lies dead below;
For crucifix yet there is room.
The cross we will not know.
Why heed they not the Crimson Cross.
Who practice only might;
Who glory in another's loss.
So hodgdess of the right:

And with a thousand spears of light
Pierces the tent of sombre night.
And now the stars fade one by one.
The moon turns pale, her vigil done.
Again the herald of proud day
Wrests from retreating night her away.
Look how varies the light and grows!
What lovely shades of gold and rose
Stream out across the eastern plane.
To glow awhile and then to wane!
They blaze, they melt to blend their
hues.
They change to brighter golds and
blues.
Till all along the Orient screen.
Flares with their illuminant sheen.
Dawn! amber fade shot, helplove!
Dawn! symbol of undying hope
With you, what inspiration, cheer!
What memories that bless or scar!
Our hopes that with the night scorn
At your approach come back again.
Even death is but a right soon gone.
Leaving behind a final Down.

We camped you have board of the practical demonstration of the strength of only given by an old Indian chief to his pain, to whom he desired to teach an important and needed lesson. He handed each of his sons a small dry twig and told them to break them. The twigs wrapped like pipe stem under very slight pressure. He then gathered several of the same kind of twigs into a bundle and handed this bundle of twigs to each gas in succession and bade him use his strength to break them. Each tried but could not break the bundle of twigs. He then told two to try their strength in breaking the bundle of twigs, but even then they could not break them. "Single twigs, you see, are weak my children, and can easily be broken; bound into a bundle they are strong and cannot be broken."
The lesson was well learned. And this is the lesson we, an a people, need to learn. United, intelligent action upon our part in almost any community can secure anything within reason and justice we desire. United support of worth-white business ventures among our people will rapidly develop economic independence. America's motto should be our motto and slogan: "United we stand." Division means weakness. "Union means strength." Single twigs are weak and can easily be broken, but bound into a bundle they are strong and cannot be broken."
OUT IN PERPETUAL DARKNESS
By CHARLES W. GRANFORD
Out in perpetual darkness.
Groping, groping without light.
Go millions of misguided wretches.
Worshipping all that is white.
"Lighten the skin and be popular."
Such is the slogan of fools.
Was ever there taught such a doctrine,
In all our churches and schools?
Is it our unlettered grandsires,
Who teach us that blackness is sin?
That an ebony hue is objectionable.
And chemistry will whiten the skin?
Why, not! 'tis the intelligentsia.
Who crave so much to be bright.
It is they who are teaching the masses.
That all is holy that is white!
Worshippers at the throne of whit-
ocracy.
Though children of darkness you are.
Soon you shall see the daylight.
Surely, 'tis not very far.
So it is not perpetual darkness:
It will not forever be.
The night is only limited.
And eventually you shall be free.

The Red Indian Still Holds America—The Coming Type
America is mailing the biggest expartment in the world, the expartment of city civilization, designs Shaw Demond. In his article in the August County, Mr. Demond says that America is developing centers of civilization in Boston, New York, Chicago, Salt Lake City, Seattle, San Francisco and the other cities through out the country. He says that the reason for this expartment in city civilization is that America is young, not yet set, the American people, have not yet "dur themselves in."
"The spirit of the Red Indian," he writes, "still holds. America. One could see them, with the eye, of the mind, riding and trailing and running alongside the Pullmann, those pachydermatous excrecens upon the desert, still as strange as antediluvian dinosaur. And if there is any type that the North American continent is developing out of the majestro of the nations it is the North American Indian type, which looked at the traveler in the streets of Chicago, in North Carolina and Virginia, as in the cities of the Pacific. High cheek bones, piercing eye, strong, sheering nose. All were there.
"For America, despite and even because of her city civilization, is developing a collective type, as she is developing a collective soul. But it is a type of soul loosely knit. A decentralized soul."

The instances in which the consider-

and far between. The manner in which
the queation of Imperial preference has
been Jettisoned by the present govern-
ment. acting on the mandate of the
British Electorate furnishes at this mo-
merft such an instance and has elevated
this important {ssue to the positton of

of the national parties. Seldom in the
Bistory of the smaller-colontes have
British politica assumed, the role of
general interest occupied at the present

PRESIDENT: KING, MARCUS GARYET..
AND THE HITCH IN THE LIBERIAN...
~',-UMQERSTANDING 15: CONSIDERED
Marcus Garvey wins new headlines. 2.
In the midst of his colorful convention he is notified of his indict
ment by a Federal grand jury. : *
We are not Soromenting upon:'the indictment, for he will be giver
/a fair trial, and he will be able to secure justice. as easily as any
otMer mani we are commenting upon the fact that Garvey, whc
causes very little stir in New York, outside of the ranks.of his own
Negro people, had .cauused~considerable stir in “European chancel-
jories. SS
_ There are cute, cunning old men in Europe who ‘do not like
Garvey.~ They claim he is-a-dangerous agitator, because he has
succeeded in arousing the enthusiasm of his own, people and has
offered them the. thought of a real Negro republic in Africa.
‘And in ‘Liberia, supposed to be.a. republic, Garvey is very much
hated. ‘The Negro president of Liberia fears Garvey means to get
control of the country, so he tells his consular agents here to grant
Passports to no one associated with Garvey. *
That will not block Garvey, for already two-thirds of the people
of Liberia want him. They are tired of their present’ government
and should.be. They: know they have been exploited and that the
immense natural wealth of Liberia has been pawned to an interna-
tional gang of looters. They know, too, that there is a close and
rriysterious connection between the present Liberian government
and the Republican administration in Washington.
Perhaps, they know what few Negroes in this country know’:
that the president of Liberia greatly embarrassed the Harding ad-
ministration during the disarmament conierence. ‘The président of
Liberia was in, Washington at: that time attempting to negotiate
a loan, He was there two days before the conference opened. Then
some one told Secretary Hughes that if this Negro president were
in Washington during the burial of the Unknown Soldier he would
Have to be givén the place of honor’ in.the parade because he was
the highest ranking foreigner in the capital. ¢
What happened? .
The president of-Liberia was told that it was essential that he go
home,-that the loan would be arranged later, and that the United
States warship, the Denver, was waiting for him ingBoston.
Marines were sent with him_to the railroad station, marines met
him in Boston, and the warship carried him home. But those honors
were.extended so that he would be out of the way when the parade
nm honor- of the Unknown Soldier was being held! ,
Perhaps the same slow-thinking which induced the Liberian chief
executive to quit the country to accommodate Republican politicians |
nas embarrassed him in his administration of affairs at home. At
ny rate, he has made a mess of things and’ now he is very much
fraid of Marcus Garvey. |
