The Negro World

LET'S PUT IT OVER The Indispensable Weekly The Voice of the Awakened Negro Negro World Reaching the Mass of Negroes The Best Advertising Medium A Newspaper Devoted solely to the Interests of the Negro Race VOL. XVII. No. 2 NEW YORK, SATURDAY, AUGUST 23, 1924 PRICE: FIVE GENTS IN GREATER NEW YORK TEN GENTS ELSEWHERE IN THE U.S.A. TEN GENTS IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES NEW NEGRO STEAMSHIP COMPANY SECURES FIRST SHIP FOR AFRICA Fellow Men of the Negro Race, Greeting: Our convention during the past week discussed one of the most vital and important questions that demands the attention of our race—that of our industrial development. It was pleasing and satisfying to listen to the delegates and deputies, who threw their whole hearts and souls into the discussion. We were able to bring out information pointing to the fact that an ocean of possibilities lies before us as a people industrially. All that is necessary for us to do, and especially in America, is to mobilize our financial forces and through the Universal Negro Improvement Association, develop the untouched wealth at our race's command in the West Indies. South America, Central America, Africa and the United States, through which we will be able, in a short while, to build up a race so industrially and commercially firm as to bring to us all the things that we do clamor and agitate for at the present time, which there is no hope of getting except through the proper demonstration of our own ability to possess them. In the discussion, stress was laid on the need for ships and still more ships, and we are glad to say, this week, that we have secured the first ship of the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company, the S. S. General G. W. Goethals, of over 5,000 tons, for our passenger and cargo service. The first payment has been made on this ship and we now need $70,000.00 more before we come into complete possession of same. This money must be raised immediately and I show take the Universal Negro Improvement Association to send in his and her loan immediately to the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company. This is no time to put off for another week or month: If we are to completely own and possess this ship, we must have the money immediately. Now is the time for you to loan your $50, $100, $200, $300, $500 or $1,000 to the corporation. Loan it for five or ten years, bearing an interest of 5%. If you will subscribe this money immediately, to enable us to carry out all our obligations on this ship, we will be able to put it in operation in another sixty days and start actively the business of the corporation. Help us now, men and women, to start the off commercially and industrially. LOADS OF CARGO WAITING There are hundreds of shiploads of cargo waiting for us in Africa, in the West Indies, South and Central America to come back to the United States of America. Millions can be made for the race in the conveying of raw materials from one part of the world to the other, and the return to them of our finished products. We want the Universal Negro Improvement Association, in a short while, to be in a position to employ millions of our own people in America, West Indies and Africa, thereby making our race industrially independent. This can be done if you will help us now to buy more ships. Let us, before the close of the year, have another ship, and let us during 1925, add at least four more ships to the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company, and surely, when that time comes, the Negro in America, West Indies and Africa will have no more need to be fearful of the future nor dependent upon the good will of others to exist, but we will be able to build ourselves up so industrially firm as to find employment for our dependent millions. BEATING THE CRITICS Don't you pay any attention to what the Negro critic is saying in his newspaper or pulpit. No one of them can hand you a loaf of bread. They have no provision for employing the people; they only take away from the people. The Universal Negro Improvement Association seeks to feed the people, employ the people, and to make the people independent. We, the Universal Negro Improvement Association, as above stated, can build up, in a short while, a strong world movement that will be capable of accomplishing all the things that the race desires in the way of greater liberty, freedom and independence. THE VICIOUS AND WICKED The vicious and wicked of our own race have tried to handicap us at every turn. They have tried to thwart us in our African colonization plan, but let it be known that the Universal Negro Improvement Association cannot be successfully handicapped. Our program is too wide and large to submit to any permanent disability. Give us the opportunity, and we feel sure that our members will and, in a short while, we will show the enemies how strong our organization is and how futile is their opposition. These Negroes are only hurting themselves and do not know it. History shall write them down as the greatest traitors, villains and scoundrels the race has produced in the twentieth century and, when we write their names down, as we intend to do, it will reveal the vicious machinations of men of two continents, who have tried to stand in the way of the BLACK CROSS NAVIGATION AND TRADING COMPANY TO HAVE FLEET OE SHIPS IF RACE SUPPORTS UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION TRIUMPHS OVER ITS ENEMIES IN AMERICA AND AFRICA ORGANIZATION WILL ENGAGE IN INDUSTRIAL EXPANSION TO DEVELOP RACE OLD TIME NEGRO LEADERS ENEMIES OF PROGRESS SELFISH AND CRAFTY—MASSES SHOULD EMANCIPATE THEMSELVES THE SHIP S. S. GENERAL G. W. GOETHALS TO BE RECHRISTENED BOOKER T. WASHINGTON—FIRST SHIP OF THE BLACK CROSS NAVIGATION AND TRADING COMPANY FOR THE AFRICAN-AMERICAN-WEST INDIAN TRADE progress of their race. The old Negro leader, as we have said before, is no d—— good. He is only fit for the scrap heap. He is crooked, he is raceless, he is conscienceless, he is but a selfish cur. Show him where he can make a "pile" and he will sell his mother, his family, his race, his country and his God. These men we will have to dislodge from leadership. We have to take them out of the pulpits, off the platforms and from the public places, and relegate them to the scrap heap of racial treachery. They have conspired for decades and are still conspiring to rob and exploit the masses. Because of the advantages of education that some of them have had, they are trying to use it to stultify the growth of the common people. It is because they hate the common people and fear the chance of the common people to elevate themselves that they are trying to block the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, but the common people shall make them bow down on their knees and beg for bread. We shall starve and press out these so-called leaders. Don't support them. Make them work as hard as you do, and when you, yourselves, start to correct this evil of leadership, the devils will change their tactics. They call us the common people. They say we are illiterate. Let us see if they can live without the common people. Let us see if they can live without the so-called illiterates. Let the philosophers live off their books and philosophies. As you know, there is not one of them who is willing to do a hard day's work, but they are all willing to scheme to exploit and rob those whom they call the "common people." Thank God that the common people are so many that we can help and protect ourselves and, when it comes to a showdown, we are going to do it through the Universal Negro Improvement Association. The so-called "big Negro" is no good, Dump him or else we will be laid into the jaws of Death and the bowels of Hell. With an organization like the Universal Negro Improvement Association, we are bound to triumph and solve the great problem that has confronted us for a half century. Not only have we found out the treachery of the so-called Negro leader, but the white leader has found him out. They know he cannot be trusted. He is dishonest: he is a liar; he is a misrepresentative of the truth; he is selfish, greedy and grafting, and that is why we get so little consideration from the leaders of the other race, because ours are so well known. The world is calling for new leadership among us. As I stated in my front page article last week, it is no wonder that Liberia did not get the loan of five million dollars. It was because of the graft and greed of the same type of politicians that America turned down the loan. It is that same group of selfish Negroes who are trying MASSES WITH U. N. I. A. We are glad, however, that the great masses of the people of Liberia are for the Universal Negro Improvement Association. The farseeing and progressive leaders of that country and the people feel that the only salvation for Liberia is through the efforts of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. For this we feel glad and happy. The future is still bright for that great promising country, and as we develop our program, so will we inform the people what they should do in the direction of nation-building. DON'T BE TRICKED trying to crush them and crush their very blood, so must the common people of the Negro race fight the second group of leaders and race capitalists, who are trying for their destruction. They are soulless, heartless and raceless, and before the thing becomes too dangerous, we must nip it in the bud. Hence, we are again calling upon the four hundred million Negroes to call a halt against these men who have misrepresented us and tried to injure the cause of liberty among us. Remember, every member of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and every member of the sace, do your duty by the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company in helping us to pay for the first ship by sending in your loan. Address your communications to the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company, 56 West 135th Street, New York City, U. S. A: P. S. All members, branches, divisions and chapters of the Universal Negro Improvement Association are asked to send in immediately all Convention Collecting lists with all moneys in hand for the association. The Parent Body is in need of financial help, so all those who have reports and cash in hand are requested to send in name immediately. M. G. IN MASTERLY REVIEW OF LAST TWO YEARS' WORK HON.

Marcus Garvey said: I have not made a written report because of the pressure of time and also because of the many things that I would like to incorporate. So the report is going to be oral. Deputies and delegates of the Fourth International Convention of the Negro People of the World and of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. It is my duty as President General to make an annual report to you as touching the affairs of the organization as a whole under my supervision and administration. 'According to the constitutional designation,' I am administrator of the affairs of the association. Our convention adjourned in September of 1922 to meet again, as is customary, on the first of August, 1923. Unfortunately, we were unable to meet last year because of certain developments to which I shall refer later on. Officially, therefore, I had to announce through my office and through the executive council the postponement of the holding of the convention of 1923 to the holding of the convention this year. Naturally, you have been following the work of the organization during that period of time, and it is for me now to say that we have had a trying and adruous time, the hardest period of our association's existence was between 1922, after the adjournment of the convention, and the present time. It was difficult because the association had taken on wide dimensions. It had practically introduced propaganda and its sentiments were scattered round the world, bringing into existence diversified agencies that were working for the suppression of this new expression on the part of the people for freedom and independence, as characterized by the ideals and aims of the organisation. The world was more appreciative during these years of the real objective, and purpose of the association, and it goes without saying that there are many and great agencies in the world that are opposed to the advancement and development of the Negro on certain lines. Those lines we husbanded most and tried to project for the good and welfare of the entire race, because organizations had sprung up here and there, and individuals and agencies of government here and there, to block and hinder the effort that was being made to carry out the aims and objects of the association. Efforts to Hinder Grow During 1923 and the latter part of 1922, after the adjournment of the convention, the effort to suppress this organization and hinder and handicap it grow stronger than at any other period. Just about that time we had a tremendous amount of internal troubles and difficulties. The association had grown so large that it was impossible to centralize control. It was impossible to exercise the discipline that was necessary to bring the whole movement into one supple working institution. We had built up around us hundreds of branches of the association into which were individuals not in tune with the service, but who were looking for opportunities whereby they could create themselves local authorities and local forces and powers, and to use those forces and powers to their own personal benefit and direction. I mean by that in 1922 and immediately after the convention we had succeeded in the years of work in building up an organization which had its agents and branches all over the world. Agencies and branches that were built to burnen all obedience to the constitution of the association and centralize our authority the rule and which would mean immediate and unbounded support for the association. Just immediately after the rift of the convention, the individuals who were at the head of these branches took.up an attitude and authority to act contrary to the purpose and spirit of the constitution, thereby instead of giving, whole-hearted support to the central body, started to build.up Local Principalities and local authorities to suit their own selfish purposes. As for instance, one of our greatest strongholds was the City of Philadelphia. We had a tremendous division there and immediately after that convention the president, Lionel Francis, seemed to have got into his head that he should be president-general or should be at the head of the association. Instead of being loyal to the association he began to disintegrate it, and tried to localise it for himself. As is his case, so there were others. So that between 1923 and 1923 we had such internal dissensions and internal disloyalty that it was impossible for us to even carry out half of the things decided upon in the convention of 1923. Nearly 80 per cent of these divisions made absolutely no-reports from the rise of the convention even up to the present moment: The local division would collect money for dues, assessments, annual taxes, and from other sources and would expend every nickel, and we would hear nothing of their activities until probably someone died or something happened, when they would directly try to collect death grants, etc., from the parent body without sending in their reports. Internal Trouble Such internal dissensions affected the parent body during that period of time. I am not speaking of the opposition that was outside, because we would have been better able to handle the opposition on the outside if we had the proper and efficient conduct of the organization internally. It is apparent, however, that there is absolutely no rule or law to lay down towards the Negro at the present as he is educated and now stands. There is absolutely no secular or civil rule to lay down to control him, because we have had fair examples of the disposition of the Negro to purposefully order orders. They will not respect any law, if this law conflicts with their personal desires. And that is what we have been suffering from. It is not because we haven't a constitution. The constitution is clear and well defined in every detail, so that every officer and member and executive would know their relationship towards each other. It is just because the constitution has stood in the way of individuals doing what they wanted done. You who come from divisions know that if I had to attend to all the complaints that come to headquarters I would be unable to do anything else, and we would not have been here today had I to give all my time to the adjustment of these complaints. There was not five per cent of the divisions that went without internal complaints, and of that five we did not hear about them at all, and that is why we had no complaints from them. How to Discipline the Negro So it brings us to the consideration as to how we can successfully discipline the Negro. It is a most gigantic task confronting the organization and the people. How can we discipline the Negro to get him to do what is right? This association is built upon righteousness and justice, charity and sympathy and love for our people. But it seems to me that very few of us who are officers seem to understand it that way. We have lost sympathy for the people that we are encountering to help in search of our immediate success, and this is one of the propositions, that I want you to take out of my address and discuss at the class or during the time when we are going to adjust the affairs of the association, because it is very important that we devise ways and means to successfully conduct the affairs of our race dependent on individuals of the race to lead, as they must if we are to go anywhere. I need not cite instances, because every one of you here almost have come from: divisions where such internal differences have been manifest. If I think of Chicago, we have had hundreds and hundreds of complaints. We have had rights galore. If I think of Philadelphia it is the same. If I think of Cleveland it is the same. If I go as far as I can, to Los Angeles, it is the same condition, and if we go to the West Indies and Central America it is the same. Eating the Soul It is a canker that is eating the vitals and the heart and soul of the Negro who has no nationality. This thing is everywhere, not only in America. We have had the same thing and probably worse here. We have had man fighting each other; one group putting the other in jail and as that group gets out of jail they put the other group in jail. One group tries to get into power by saying that the other is dishonest, and as soon as they get into office they do the same thing they complained against. Now I am nearly disgusted as to how to find mon. One man would come and say that that president is doing wrong, and that very man is the one who, when he gets started and gets elected to the same office, would within three months have the same complaint made about him as he had made. That is the condition that we have, in the East and West, North and South, in America, the West Indies, in South and Central America. What are we to do with these Negroes? As I said before, their education is bad. The psychology under which we live is bad and we have to take that into serious consideration. I am sorry for the poor people and that is why my heart bleeds. The poor people do not know where to turn. They flocked to this organization when we organized it because they believed it was a relief from the old order of things. And, my good friends, it seems hard and almost impossible to destroy the old order of things. It is deep-seated in the heart of the old Negro. As to the new conditions, it seems almost hopeless. I do not know what to say and what to recommend. We have to discuss it and see what to do. All the middle-aged, the old and the new men, all seem to be possessed of the same idea, and that is to get rich at the expense of the people who they believe cannot see and cannot understand and whom he leads nowhere, absolutely nowhere. Alarming Economic Conditions Alarming Economic Conditions When we look at conditions as they confront us: when we review the general economic conditions as they have existed during the last two years, we see that, they are alarming. I have to report to you that our people today are in a hopeless economic and industrial state and condition in this country and abroad. In the American states, I have come into contact with hundreds and thousands of unemployed, and the unemployed list is growing among us as a race, larger and larger every day. There is no work. The same prophecy that we gave out during the war, of a terrible economic reaction is being fulfilled. And if you want to go to the big cities, Detroit, Cleveland, Philadelphia, and even cosmopolitan New York, you will find that hundreds and thousands of our men are out on the streets, some of them not having been employed for 6, 12 or 18 months, and day by day we are losing our foothold on the industries of the country and there is absolutely no provision being made to stem the tide except we attempt to go forward with the program of he U. N. L. A. for which we have suffered barrives and handicaps of all kinds and which we will endeavor to adjust during this sitting of the convention. The situation industrially and economically in America and in the West Indies is alarming. In Cuba, we have cries and complaints from thousands of Negroes there who are suffering there and dying. From the other islands of the West Indies, it is the same. In Central America where a good condition existed up to few years ago, it is the contrary now. The people are suffering here and there is absolutely no outlook except through a rigid industrial program on the part of the U. N. I. A. Allowing Opportunities - to Sla Allowing Opportunities to Slipp The pain is that day after day we are allowing the chance and opportunities to slip away which will not come again because day after day the race is becoming poorer as we grow older in this industrial and economic and commercial arrangement with the other people. In our communities the race is losing its financial hold day by day and in another few years we are going to be hopeless. And there is where the sorrowful part on the part of our leaders come in. Our leaders have done more to dishearten our people than we could talk about. For the reason that where there is, no confidence there is no support because the bulk of the people are not educated to the point of knowing and understanding the situation. The bulk of our people are not educated in the higher principles and environment. They do not think for themselves. They have to be advised and when it is considered that these people have been advised to do this and that which they have been doing for the last 50 years without any result, it is time for the confidence of the people to be destroyed and broken. We now have to deal with this broken confidence on the part of the people who have become disgusted with the kind of leadership that we have had and the success of the association during the past five or six years was due to the fact that the people ran to us, rushed to us, because it would be a relief from the old order of things. Local officers and international officers have done more to set back the progress of the association than have the enemy, for the simple reason if you are a whole and united together internally it is more than hard and difficult for the enemy on the outside who does not know your business and intentions to harass and handicap you. But when you are broken in spirit and absolutely divided it is easy for the enemy to fight you. I have no explanation of virtue to give or to apply on the part of any individual in the organization during that period, because there has been such veckless misuse of power and authority and misunderstanding of responsibility that as I have said before it bleeds my heart to calculate the consequence and I cannot imagine where we are going to find men and people who have charity for the people and who are prepared to do them service, because if there is any age demanding service to the Negro, it is this one. It is not only an age of service but of sacrifice. Need for Sacrifice We Negroes expect to get results too easily and quickly. We have to make sacrifice and render service unselfishly if we are to get anywhere. We generally desire to jump off in the desire to have everything in one day or in a few years. If we read our histories it will be found that the foundations of all great movements were laid on sacrifice and sweat and blood. I do not want to go outside of this country to get you to understand what I mean. The civilization that the people of this country enjoys today in the City of New York, was laid and built upon the foundation of blood, the blood of 400 years. When the Pilgrim Fathers came here they were not looking for big jobs, and big salaries, but they grouped themselves together by sacrifice to build and die and lay the foundations for succeeding generation of their own. That spirit we haven't got in the U. N. I. A. to any extent at this time, nor do we have it in the race, and that is why we are doomed until we can develop it. When I speak of the opposition and trials and troubles on the part of most of the leaders in the division, I will bring to your notice the provisions we made when we came before the first and second conventions, and even the last one, when we stood on this platform, dozens of us sword away our lives in the service of this organization. When I tell you that there are only two of such people of that old group who sword away their fortune, their lives and their all to this convention in 1920 and they are Lady Davis and your humble servant, you will understand. Succeeding groups did the same swearing, and as quickly as they sword and as quickly as they were placed in a position of trust and responsibility, as quickly were they willing to allow themselves to be used for the destruction of the organization and the exploitation of the people. Now let me recount more in detail what I mean by that. There are some of us who respect our earth; there are some people who because of their belief in God and the Creator sweat in the presence of their God, and regard that earth as sacred. That is why, come weal, come woe, some of us are bound to be found at the heart of the U. N. I. A. because we respect our earth to uphold the sacred trust of the 400,000,000 Negroes of the world. At the first convention we made tremendous mischahe. Yet it was not a mistake. It was just an experiment for which we had to pay, and for which all people, starting out new ventures, naturally have to pay. We entered into the arrangement with a whole negotiation and with self-consciousness, with race love and race pride, but we never calculated on the other, human side and the evil side which is part of us all the time, which we tried to destroy, but which existed after we made our arrangement. After our deliberations at the first convention, we voted large salaries to the different heads of departments and to the Executive Council. That was done because we desired then to remove our leaders from temptation. We wanted to surround them with such financial independence as to prevent them from doing anything as would injure or damage this race. We wanted to remove them from suspicion and bribery of all kinds. That was the intention behind the voting of large salaries. We did not want our men to be purchased or to sell out the interests of the association. But it was also understood at that convention that with the spirit that was sweeping over the world at that time, the men would dignify their offices, and would be so capable that they would have earned their salaries by loyal service. Unfortunately we over-calculated the men. No sooner had we voted their salaries than it was their disposition to sit down in the dignity of their office and get the salary from wherever it came. We never calculated that any of those men would have been so mean and low and unracial to have put this association into a situation of embarrassment, knowing that they themselves failed to make those provisions. Let me give you an idea of what I mean, because some of you came into the association at a late period and do not know its history. Co-Partners in Suffering This association was rounded on sacrifice and suffering, and torture of all kinds, because it was the personal and spontaneous desire of the individual to give birth to something that was not in existence, and present it to the people for what it was worth. That meant that there was no immediate remuneration or reward for the effort to start a thing of the kind, and it was just based upon the spirit of race love, race pride and the desire for sacrifice. It was for such a purpose that that convention was called. The reports then made demonstrated that there was suffering all over the world. Men who spoke from the platform as delegates, and deputies revealed the hard and difficult conditions that confronted them, and from which they were seeking means of relief. They made us co-partners of the same suffering, fellows of the same desires and wants, and it was in this spirit that we elected the first group of officials in that convention, to serve the people. Money was a secondary consideration, because the convention revealed that we had no money. I believe that we had just about $3,000. So when we elected them to the offices, with the big salaries, they knew very well that we had absolutely no resources to meet these salaries, but it was because we wanted an organization wherein the men who felt so much and suffered so much, according to their own expressions, would have had the opportunity and the privilege to serve their people, and in that service their people would have been willing to reward them according to their service. Capitalizing the Work Capitalizing the work And the people did according to their financial ability. When we adjourned that first convention in 1920, we had to devise ways and means to capitalize the organization and carry on its work and the program that had been laid out. That program for the year was an elaborate one. We had to go out and educate the world with the propaganda and link up the different communities. It called for the expenditure of large sums of money. We therefore, got together and decided that we should float a loan immediately in order to capitalize the work of the organization so that we could scatter the principles and aims and objects all over the world. It was then decided, I believe, to borrow $200,000, or thereabouts, for the capitalization of the work. The money was to be paid back in periods of from one to five years. We borrowed this money on notes called construction notes in amounts from $50 to $1,000, believing in the honesty and confidence of those first group of men. That money, as I have already said, was for the immediate organization purposes to scatter and ramify and strengthen the association all over the country, and also to meet immediate demands. Some of those executive officers during the first year helped us to raise the money. Some did not do anything. Among those who were able to bring results were Dr. McGuire, I think; also Dr. Eason and myself. I believe, out of the whole group, these three were the only ones who raised any substantial part of that money. The rest went out, and some of them, would not even bring back their railroad fare. The next thing was when they started to say they were big officials and could not do this or that. The result was that in the first year we raised about $120,000 and capitalised the association. To show how loyal some of them were, it was to the extent of seeing that they got their salaries on every first and fifteenth out of the money that we raised. In the second year, when the time came for us to double-up and spread, scatter and strengthen the work of the association in order to get results as to reinforce those who had made them for short periods, and they found they had to work and earn the salaries that were paid them, that bunch of Negroes started to reign Dishonest Officials That was how our first trials and troubles started, after they had gotten up for salaries practically all the monies we had borrowed to capitalize the work. They resigned today, and on the following day their lawyers sent letters to the effect as follows: "I am directed by Mr. So-and-So. to inform you that the association is owing him so much for salary, and we ask for immediate payment." "Men, you must have heard of the lawsuits we had. This is the explanation that I have to give. And now only Miss Davis and myself have been left to reimburse the people and pay the salaries of those men and to barry on the work of the organization up to this time. Now, as to Mr. De Bourg. In the spirit of servage, believing that man was capable, we elected him here at a salary of $6,000 per year. During his sixteen months' tenure of office, in the first year he did not report; otherwise we would have dried him as we did Mr. Tobitt. He did not bring in $500 for his sixteen months' tenure of office; and, though it was decided that the salaries would be cut down proportionately because of the condition of the association, that man got a lawyer (at the time when I was on trial in New York) to file a suit against the association for $12,000 salary; toward which he had contributed only $200; and with the aid of officers who were in and those who were outside, and with their lawyers and our lawyers, they connived to keep back the proper defense of the association and allow immediate judgment to be given by default so that De Bourg would collect that amount. The one inside helped the one outside so that he would get help when he put in his claim also. So it is, when a case was called; we would find one man helping the other to collect so that he in turn would be helped. Threatened With Receiverable Threatens With Recelorship This is the trouble we have had with the money we should have had to pay the people from whom we borrowed. We have had to pay all these damnable, soulless Negroes. Were it not through the grace of God, we would have had to close the doors of the association more than a year ago. These people did not only sue the association, but they even asked for receivers to come in and take charge of the affairs of the association and to put the association into bankruptcy. You can imagine what a fight we had to make. Sometimes I had to run here from Los Angeles, or from Detroit, in order to stop proceedings and to save the association from a receivership. Then, outside of that, we had the dishonesty of the divisions which would make no reports, although we had these tremendous obligations to meet. It was no wonder we had to appeal to the people in the columns of the Negro World. I have had to leave New York, three weeks in every month, to go on the road to speak for the benefit of the association. There were the difficulties between 1920 up to the present moment; but let me tell you men that is not all. These very officers whom we elected if we were to reveal all the things that they have done, and all the trouble that they have given in the Black Star Line case and in the tax case. When they found that the association did not die, and because it would not die, they would do something else to make it die. They went to the law officers and did everything to smash up the organization. If we go before the court in New York, the court would start very good this morning, and you would be unable to tell on what side the case would go. Before mid-day, however, some Negro will tell judge and the jury that this association is Marcus Garvey's, who is trying to organize the Negro to kill all—the white people. Naturally, this meant that we lost the decision before the case was tried. The Black Star Line Case The trial of my case in connection with the Black Star Line would have ended in my being exonerated because there was nothing against me. It was just prejudice. Those Negroes wrote letters to the judge and jurors saying that Garvey was organizing his people to kill—them. These are the methods that these men inside of this organization, along with others outside, have used to handicap the U. N. I. A., and today, when you see the U. N. I. A., you can hardly imagine the struggle and fight we have had to keep it going. I feel sure that it is God's grace and spirit that it is alive today, because 'tis not for the lack of trials and tribulations. Why sometimes we arranged with courts to give a certain judgment' at a certain time and, believing the association had no money, and in order to place it in embarrassment, they would proceed at once and bring receivers. But because of God's good spirit every time they turned one way we turned the other. That group of men I will never forget, that first group of men who helped us to raise the money on the construction loans from the people, and when the time came to stick together and work and raise the money to pay them back, that bunch of vegabonds deserted and left the responsibility upon the shoulders of other men. I could never forget and pardon such men. When they thought, that money, was easy to get they were all willing to serve, but when they found out they were to work for it they confined and got lawyers to sue. If these "vegars had a sense of responsibility there would not have been one of them. with enough courage to go and see this organization, because they would realize that they were using themselves. In that respect, among those who resigned for other reasons, there are about two men out of the whole group who never embarrassed us in a court. They were Doctor McGuire still Mr. Footk. They were the only two who resigned from the association because of certain explanations, who never took us to court, who never did anything to embarrass us, and who did everything to help us. Thanks to Mr. Teote I have personally to thank Mr. Toste even after he left the association for his determination to help and protect us against the other group of fallows. To show how wicked and vicious these men were, when we could not pay these salaries we cut down by half and gave note for the balance we could not pay. It was understood that these notes would be for five years or more in order to give the association time to pick up so that we could pay them. These men, especially the chancellor and the auditor, made out certain notes for one year without the knowledge of the others, for themselves, while they made other notes for myself and others for ten years, showing that they had in mind that in one year they would desert the association and collect their money. All of these tricks they worked because we did not know what they did and only found out afterwards. We never anticipated these things when we went before the court to adjust the matter. These very men who sat down and arranged certain things would swear before God that it was not so and among them the only men upon whom we could rely was Mr. Toote, who came and testified as to what really had taken place, but what could he do in the face of three or more others who agreed to support each other by making affidavits for each, other and thus we found we were encumbered and handicapped during the period under report. Realizing the Responsibility Realizing the Responsibility I can not explain half of the troubles through which we have gone in order to carry on the work of the association. When they thought the association did not have any money they would try to go to the bank and tie up everything I had. Thank God I never had more than two or three hundred dollars. I got just what they got but I tried to economize, otherwise I would not have had anything. And every time the association would be in need I would go to the bank and draw out, as the chancellor would tell you, sometimes the whole amount to tide over the association. Every little money I would save I would lend the association. Sometimes I dared not even tell my wife the things I had to do for the association. Even at the time when I was arrested and convicted I only left her $50 to face the world. I realized the responsibility, and it is no wonder that I have now a sick and half-dying wife because of the suffering, that we have had to undergo. Had it not been for the kind consideration of those of you who came to my rescue I do not know what would have become of the woman, because of those devils who did everything in the world to embarrass us in the work. And today I appeal to you. Let us, during this convention, seriously and soberly, enter into the spirit of the movement and you, presidents, for God's sake, remember that this race of ours is not going to rise higher than its leaders will lead them in the right direction. As to the white man, we won't talk about him any more. We all know what he is up to. As I can see it, the white man is determined to kill this race of ours. I know it, it is only a question of time; of another hundred years when this race of ours will be as dead as the Indian. The white man is not going to tell you everything, it is for you to find out. And no wonder they place obstacles. I, for one, would expect: nothing otherwise, but the things that palmme are that our very people allow themselves to be used to carry out the intentions and desires of those who desire to kill this virile race of ours. Let us realize this. There is a God Almighty who is not asleep. This situation that we leaders brought upon our own people, we leaders are going to pay for not only in this world, but if there is another world the sufferings' will multiply themselves, because how can one intelligent man, seeing the situation, fail to act honestly, truthfully, and faithfully towards people who are willing to suffer for them. To Go the Limit And this is my responsibility and that is why I take so much risk. Why I am determined to go the limit. Because I realize the responsibility that something must be done and some one has to do it. It cannot be postponed. When I go from place to place in this country and come into contact with the sufferings of the people, my heart bleeds within me and we haven't gone half the journey yet. If we are suffering now what will it be in ten, twenty-five, fifty- or a hundred years hence. I have often told you that in another hundred years there will be an over-populated America for the white people. There is not going to be enough room and opportunity for the two races and the American white man, like the English, is preparing to kill the Negro and they will do no through starvation, they would not have to shoot, lynch, or burn. All they have to do is to turn him out of employment and when he has no employment he will have no money; then without money, no food; and if he hasn't food, he will have to starve, and if he stars he will die. The white man every day is maneuvering and creating new directions.

New York.—Interest, and enthusiasm remained unabated as the second week's sittings of the Fourth International Convention of the Negroes of the World held under the auspices of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, came to a close on Friday night, August 15. Not only have the sessions in the morning, afternoon and evening been largely attended by the delegates and deputies, but spectators by the thousands have been present and have followed the proceedings with close attention. Cosmopolitan though the gathering is, composed of men and women from different climes and countries who live under varying conditions, the same perfect harmony has prevailed as might be found between the members of one family circle. Everybody has fraternized and there is ever present an esprit de corps that has enhanced the work of the convention. The one and only consideration has been the promotion of the cause of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and the consummation of measures that will make for the preservation of the race and lay the foundation for its improvement commercially, industrially, educationally, socially and otherwise.

It was a most comprehensive and every phase of the work of the Universal Negotiation from its incipiency up to the present President-General about two hours to deliver on the convention, without a dissenting voice confidence in the President-General, express honesty and conscientiousness in managing organization and the conviction that he has the best advantage of the organization and funds for his own purposes. is an abridged report of each day's session. It would not be human if differences of opinion did not arise, in a gathering of this kind, but when they did, they were promptly smoothed out, thanks to the able, resourceful and adroit leadership of the Hon. Marcus Garvey, who, in his iminitable style, has presided over the sessions in a manner to suppress any confusion and at the same time produce the best results. A significant feature of the convention is the oneness of thought and purpose towards the immediate putting-over of the steamship proposition that has been launched by the organization under the auspices of the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Co. With one voice have the delegates and deputies emphasized the need of ships and more ships to link up the Negroes in all parts of the world and to inaugurate commercial traffic between Negroes in Africa and those in the Western world. Small wonder therefore that when on Thursday night the President-General, Hon. Marcus Garvey, made the announcement that the first ship had been secured, the contract signed and that the ship would be available for inspection on Sunday afternoon, August 17, at 3 o'clock, pandemonium ensued, every single person in the hall shouting himself hoarse with delight. It was a demonstration that silenced the critics and calamity flowers who have proclaimed that Garvey was wrong in advocating a line of steamers owned, operated and controlled by Negroes. A note of encouragement was sounded by the Rev. J. Van Richards, chaplain to the Liberian Senate, who delivered the keynote address in opening the discussion on the "Development of Liberia." The reverend gentleman was warm in praise of the U. N. L. A. and assured his hearers that in him they would find a friend at court in Liberia. He admonished them not to be discouraged in their fight to go to Liberia because there was no question about it that Liberia wanted them. "God intends for you to go there," he ordered, "find you will go there." There was some pressure he declared, and you will go there. There was some presently, said, brought to bear upon the minds of the people in Liberia, by enemies who have misled them, and which was responsible for the temporary embarrassing situation, but as sure as two and two make four the hindrances would be removed and as soon as Liberia was told the truth about the U. N. I. A. everything would be all right. Among the subjects discussed during the week's sittings were: The Development of Liberia, Abyssinia and Haiti as independent black nations, and other countries, where Negroes form a majority of the population, namely, Jamaica, Barbados, Trinidad British Guiana, British Honduras and other islands of the West Indies and Africa. Discussing the educating of the Negro race as to the real meaning of society, and laying down the principles that should guide those who are desirous of becoming socially distinctive: Creating an atmosphere of purity around the young generation of the race, to better prepare them for a higher social life; and Ways and means of encouraging travel among and between Negroes of commercial and industrial profession. The report of the President-General, delivered orally at the morning session on Monday, was one of the most important features of the week's sittings. It was a most comprehensive and complete revision of every phase of the work of the Universal Negro Improvement Association from its incipiency up to the present time. It took the President-General about two hours to deliver it and at the conclusion the convention, without a dissenting voice, voted a resolution of confidence in the President-General, expressing confidence in his honesty and conscientiousness in managing the affairs of the organization and the conviction that he has acted in all respects for the best advantage of the organization and has not used any of its funds for his own purposes. Following is an abridged report of each day's sessions: MONDAY MORNING. AUG. 11 The convention assisted at 10:30 a.m. the speaker. Mon. Marcus Garvey, in the chalk. After prayers, the minutes of the previous session were read and confirmed the ranks of the association fish motives to encompass of the effort to prevent him turning to the United States after his tour of the West Central America, of the m How Marcus Garvey, president-general, then presented his annual report to the convention. He reviewed the work of the association for the past two years, explaining that his incarceration last year had caused him to suggest that no convention be held then, a suggestion which the various branches had acquired in. He strongly condemned the disloalty of the original officers of the association, only two of whom, Lady Henrietta Vinton Davis and himself, remain now. Of all the officers appointed at the 1820 convention that had left the association only two, Hon. Bishop McGuele and Hon. Fred A. Toote, had done nothing to embarrass the association. The interior had acted in a very helpful manner in putting the onshought of the turnouts. He drew a graphic picture of the efforts of Negroes, within and without ferences of opinion did not arise, in when they did, they were promptly, resourceful and adroit leadership, so in his inimitable style, has preuner to suppress any confusion and best results.

He also explained why he tried his own case—his chief reason being the preservation of the life of the U.N. L.A. He recounted the activities of the various diplomatic missions of the association to Liberia, culminating with the delegation of November last, of which the late Sir Robert L. Pooton was chairman, and, in this connection, announced that the members of that delegation would themselves present to that convention the report brought back to the executive council. He suggested to the conversation that at the proper time the matter of the salaries of officers be given careful consideration, and that reappointment be the watchword. The association MRS. AMY JACQUES-GARVEY, DEVOTED WIFE OF PRESIDENT-GENERAL, RECEIVES THANKS OF CONVENTION FOR HER SACRIFICES FOR THE WELFARE OF THE RACE could not now afford to pay salaries such as those voted at previous conventions. He told of the efforts being made to secure a ship, explaining that the great need was more money. He had every hope that a ship would have been secured by Sunday last, but negotiations had broken down, the terms of the contract drawn up by the owners for the payment of the balance of the purchase money having proved too severe. He stressed the need for the acquisition of a ship. Hon. Fred A. Toote, Philadelphia, moved that the report be adopted and that it be laid on the table for future reference. Hon. Freeman L. Martin, St. Louis, seconded. The motion was unanimously carried. Hon. Freeman L. Martin, St. Louis, moved that a committee of five be appointed to draw up a resolution of confidence in the president-general, in which for this convention and for the world, would be expressed confidence in the honesty and conscientiousness of the president-general in managing the affairs of the organization and the conviction that he has acted in all respects for the best advantage of the organization and has not used any of its funds for his own purposes. Hon. Bishop McGuire seconded and the motion was unanimously carried. The following committee was appointed by Hon. G. E. Carter, who acted as speaker, while the report of the president-general was being dealt with: Hon. Bishop McGuire, New York; Hon. Freeman L. Martin, St. Louis; Hon. F. A. Tonte, Philadelphia; Hon. E. F. Johnson, Detroit, and Hon. Hattie Johnson, Baltimore, Md. The following motion was then moved by Hon. F. E. Johnson, Detroit; Be it resolved that we, the delegates of the Fourth International Convention of Negroes, petition His Excellency the President of the United States for a Federal Grand jury investigation of the acts of Hon. Maxwell Matthews and of other Federal agents of the district of New York who have allowed themselves to be used by Negro politicians and rival organizations of the Universal Negro Improvement Association to handle and impede its efforts; in working for a feasible and practical solution of Negro problems and, of the persecution of the Hon. Marcos Garvey in this direction, such investigation to be made immediately. Hon. Freeman L. Martin, St Louis, seconded, and the motion was unanimously carried. Hon. F. A. Toote, Philadelphia, moved that Friday, Saturday, and Monday next he set aside a Block Cross Navigation and Trading Company Days, on which a special effort he made to secure additional funds for the purchase of a ship, the delegates issuing appeals immediately to their divisions and chapters toward this end. Hon. J. J. Peters, Chicago, seconded, and the motion was unanimously carried. At this stage the convention adjourned until 3 p.m. MONDAY AFTERNOON. AUGUST 11, 1924 The convention assembled at 3 p.m. the speaker, Hon. Marcus Garvey, in the chair. After prayers, the minutes of the previous meeting were read and confirmed. It was moved by Hon. C. H. Bryant of Costa Rica that the President-General's report be taken from the On Tuesday evening, August 12, the following resolution thanking Mrs. Amy Jacques-Garvey for the splendid help, even at the sacrifice of her health, she had given her husband in safeguarding the U. N. I. A. was unanimously carried by the Fourth International Convention: Whereas, During the past fifteen months, when the President-General of this association endured many hardships and privations for the cause, his devoted and affectionate wife proved his constant and most loyal helper, working hard and night, to her physical detriment, for the release of her table, given the proper characterization and handed over to the President-General to be properly scrutinized, printed and distributed among the delegates to be conveyed to the members of the organization. The motion was seconded by Hon. Johnson of Cleveland, Ohio, and unanimously carried. Hon. R. A. Bachelor, Orlent, Cuba stated that the Cuban government had be n very helpful to the divisions in Cuba and made the suggestion that a cable of thanks be sent to the president of Cuba. Hon. P. Garrett, New York, seconded. The motion was carried unanimously. He then moved that a cable be sent to President Zayas of Cuba bearing greetings from the U. N. I. A. and the convention as an expression of their thanks to him and his government for the protection and aid rendered by him to the divisions in Cuba. Hon. C. H. Bryant, Costa Rica, moved that a similar cable be sent to the president of Panama and Costa Rica, at his expense. Hon. R. A Martin, Florida, Cuba, seconded the motion which was unanimously carried. The President-General, then called for the report of the secretary-general. Hon. G. E. Carter, secretary-general, presented the report and, among other things, stated that he had been appointed to succeed the late R. R. L. Boston, and that he was greatly indebted to the Hon. Percival L. Burrows, first assistant secretary-general, and Hon. Norton G. Thomas, second assistant secretary-general, and the office staff for their valuable assistance to him in the work. He further stated that the growth of the organization was surprising, and had suppressed their expectations. Nearly 100 new charters had been issued this year with 105 charters pending. There were now 100,400 branches, more than one-half of which were to be found in the United States. The growth of the association in the United States has been wonderful, especially in the South, and the outlook for the organization was bright. He commended the presidents, officers and members for their loyalty during the incarceration of the President-General. He further stated that the death rate had been very small, less than 250 in the United States and fifty in the foreign field. The splendid growth of the organization was proof that the Universal Negro Improvement Association is the spiritual urge of this century that will usher men into the racial consciousness of a free and redeemed Africa. Great improvement, he said, was shown in the handling of the vast amount of mail that came through the department and he promised, further improvement in this respect. There were dictated and mailed from his office since August, last, to July 1, 1924, 50,000 letters and 4,000 parcels were mailed. In conclusion he stated that the race was to be lifted and the gentle reedened by the return of black men to the mastery of arts, literature and culture. Hon. C. H. Bryant, Costa Rica moved, and Hon. Catric Mius, New York, seconded that the report be received and adopted. Hon. P. Johnson, Indiana moved as an amendment to the foregoing motion that the report be received and adopted after the secretary had submitted a detailed statement of the standing of the organization. Hon S. V. Robertson, Louisiana Mississippi, moved that the amendment be tabled. The motion was impugned to carried. Hon. H. Bryant, Costa Rica moved that the secretary's report be also printed and distributed among the delegates. The petition was just for the want of a seconder. The speaker then announced as the next item for discussion, The Development of Liberia, Abysinia and Haity as independent black nations and other countries where Negroes form a majority population, namely Jamaica, Barbados, Trinidad, British Guiana, British Honduras, and other islands of the West Indies and Africa. At this point, the Hon. Rudolph Smith, third assistant President general, was granted permission to make his report as titular leader of the West Indies, South and Central America. He stated that the organization had a strongning fight since August, 1922, which had not been thoroughly realized by the divisions. There had been internal and external fights. He related many attempts made by individuals within the organization to disrupt the movement. He was pleased to state, however, that, during all of their trials, the members held fast and that at present the work was going forward splendidly. After the trip to Cleveland, he was sent to Cincinnati, and found the division there making excellent husband and the safeguarding of the association, subsequent upon which she experienced a protracted illness which threatened life itself and thereby added to the trials of our leaders. Therefore it be resolved by this convention: That we tender to Mrs. Amy Jacques-Garvey our appreciation of her sacrifices for the welfare of this race and rejoice with her in the return of the blessing of health, praying he Giver of all to restore her to her accounted vigor of body and mind and to prolong her days to witness with her distinguished husband the approaching day of victory for our sacred cause. program under the able leadership of William Wane, and he commended the problem for the upland work done by him in the Cincinnati Division. He stated here that, in his opinion, the Ohio divisions were the best divisions and stood firmly behind the Universal Negro Improvement Association. He was then sent to West Virginia to visit the various divisions, and found that one Smith Green, was misleading the members, stating his Liberian Steamship and Sawmill Company was a part of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. He exposed the man, Smith-Green, enlightened the members, and advised them to have nothing to do with the Liberian Steamship and Sawmill Company and left the divisions in high spirits with a renewed determination to carry on the work of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. He told how a Mr. Owens had visited some of the divisions, representing that he was connected with the movement, and then allowed to speak, tried to defeat the cause and advocated the supporting of the Socialist movement, but he was turned down by the membership and disregarded in these divisions. The Hon. Smith stated that he was then sent to Chicago and, to his great surprise he found there an official and member of the Executive Council trying to induce the organization and creating dissension in the divisions. He was trying to influence the members, to engage in挫敌 politics. That this officer, Capt. E. L. Galanes, was trying to encourage the members to withdraw their support from the Parent Body and follow under his leadership. Fortunately, he was able to show the error of following Capt. Galanes and just as the division was on the point of disruption, he succeeded in keeping it together and with the assistance of Commissioner W. A. Wallace, installed, the Hon. J. J. Peters, as president. He was glad to report that the Chicago Division is now going forward with renewed faith and courage and doing well. And so, with the various divisions that he visited in Missouri, wherever he found them struggling and misguided by some internal of external enemy, he willingly did all within his power to assist them and left them rejuvenated and doing well. He further stated that Capt. Gaines had preceded him in Cleveland and Pittsburgh, trying to poison the minds of the people in the divisions, but without results. He was next sent to visit the divisions in Cuba, by the President-General. He stated that he was hospitably received in the various divisions and left them all doing well. Upon motion by the Hon. Freeman L. Martin, of St. Louis, seconded by the Hon. F. Johnson of Detroit, the spirit of the third ASCT President General was unanimously adopted and a vote of thanks given him for its mutating efforts in behalf of the organization. The Hon. C. H. Hesson of Costa Rica moved that the reason be adjourned until September. The Hon. R. A. Mason of People's Union seemed, and the motion was unanimously carried. MONDAY EVENING. AUGUST 12 The convention, presented at Ypsilant p. Hon P. L. Bucas, First Assistant Secretary, General, in connection with the Acting Speaker said he had received a message from the Secretary and the First General that he would not be present, noting the business of making important the bill petitioned him to open the convention in the usual way, and after the reading of the minutes, conveyed the session into a mass meeting. The minutes of the previous session were read by the secretary, and the motion of Hon C. H. Bucas, Costa Rica, seconded by Hon A. K. Sesson, Homestead, were continued. Hon C. H. Bucas, Costa Rica, moved a suspension of the standing order, in accordance with the wishes of the President General. Hon Mr. Capitano, Trimble ended, and the motion was unanimously carried. The speaker then invited Hon Mr. Heidrich, Boston, to address the house. She told of the splendid work being done by the Boston division and brought down the house as she bride the delegates and visitor; return to their communities; uncharged with the spirit that the President Genevieve breathed in his report to the convention that morning, banish factitious discord, stop talking and make the years 1924 and 1925 barner ones in the history of the organization. She appealed to the women of the race to combat themselves in a manner that will earn the respect of their men folk. Hon Hattie Johnson, Baltimore, MD, was next called upon. She spoke of the condition of affairs in Baltimore, which, had been very unsatisfactory owing to the unprincipled dealings of the so-called intellectuals who took over the division and exploited the people. Order had, however, been evolved. The house cheered her to the echoes she asserted her intention to return to Baltimore and take the stump on the street, corners for the cause. "And I, they put me in jail," she declared. "I will convert all the prisoners." She condemned the attitude of women of the race who tailed and slaved to support their preachers. The preachers in Baltimore were not in sympathy with the movement, which they knew was opening women's eyes to their folly. With the women of Baltimore the preacher was first, all else after, and husbands were implicated that preachers might enjoy pastor's dinners and lengthy vacations. Men. Mrs. Robertson. First Lady Vice-President of the New York Local, also spoke interestingly and earnestly on the duties women owed themselves and the race. She emphasized the necessity for modesty and diplomacy in utterance. There were times when certain things should not be said. She was not in sympathy with the man or woman who exposed the degrading conduct of members of the race. Effort should be made to remove the degradation, not to ventilate it. Hon. A. G. Ellenburg, Gary, Ind. contributed two religious songs, the meeting joining in the chorus. Hon. J. A. Hassell, Seattle, Wash. made an earnest plea to the officers of divisions to see that their divisions were conducted in a business-like and constitutional manner. He rectified the fortunes of the Seattle division, which was now functioning 100 per cent for the cause and had the goodwill of every section of the community. He urged upon the house the necessity of supporting the shipping project. The meeting terminated with the singing of the Ethiopian National Anthem and the pronouncement of the benediction by Hon. G. A. Weston. TUESDAY MORNING. AUGUST 12 TUESDAY MORNING, AUGUST 12 The convention was called to order at 10:30, the delegates arriving late owing to rain. The Speaker, Hon. Marceus Garvey, occupied the chair. After prayers, the minutes of the previous session were read and confirmed. Hon. L. L. Burrows moved that the order of the day—discussing the development of Liberia, Abyssinia and Haiti's independent Black nations, and other countries; where Negroes form a majority of the population, i.e. Jamaica, Barbados, Trinidad, British Gukana, British Honduras and other islands of the West Indies, and Africa—be suspended and that the next business be proceeded with. Hon. S. R. Wheat, West Chicago, seconded, and the motion was carried unanimously. The convention then proceeded to discuss the educating of the Negro race as to the real meaning of society and laying down the principles which should guide those who would become socially distinctive; also the creation of an atmosphere of purity around the young generation of the race to bet; to prepare them for a higher social life. Hon. G. A. Weston initiated the discussion. He said the race must become socially distinctive through unselfish service. The aristocracy must be formed of persons who had deserved well of the race through service. Purity must be inculcated in the home, in the day school and in the church school and in street contact. There was no organization more prepared or fitted to educate the Negro along this line than the Universal Negro Improvement Association. How Bishop McIntire stressed the need for racial education. The young generation should be taught the history of the race, the part Negro men and women had played and were playing in the world. In regard to social education in the best analysis the matter reduced itself to one of disdainance. Othelline should be instilled in the home in the home. Nowadays, instruction of parents' words being law to their children, the children ruled, the home. This was not only of the Negro race in this country but elsewhere. The lack of this training and he be silent exile was so marked that a wonderful whisper the time was ripe for unintended demon rays being placed in the hands of the Negro.

Emerson, and he fell well aware of the question not been fully covered by those who had spoken, and moved that a committee be appointed and instructed to bring back to the commission a well-rearged system by which the young could be prepared for the higher social life. Hon C H Bryant, California, seconded. Rising to meadows. Hon W A Wallace, Illinois, explained he was unready because he wanted to play in the discussion and suggest that more attention be given to the Juvenile department. Juveniles should not be made to pay as adults did. They should be admitted under more favorable conditions into the organization. Hon J. J. Peters, Chicago, said he was also unready. He could not agree that the preceding speakers had fully covered the subject. Hon. I. Chambers, New Orleans, said he desired to suggest that a system be arranged by which the teachers of the young could be taught. The Speaker suggested that the discussion be left unfinished and that the convention adjourn until the evening, giving the various committees an opportunity to formulate their reports and present them to the convention the next day. At the evening session the Attention of Subscribers! Frequently we receive notices from Post Office to the effect that subscribers copies are not delivered for the removed, Left No. Address; "No Such Number; "Not Found; ": Re-fused or "Unclaimed; "issue dated August 2. we shall publish under the heading, "Service Column," the names of subscribers so affected during the month of July; in Soci- ties shall carry the name of those affected during the month of August, etc. Subscribers who experience difficulty in getting their papers regularly are asked to scan this column of the paper to become apparent and corrective measures be put into effect to our mutual satisfaction. E, R MATHEWS, Business Mgr established: business would be dealt with, after which the convention would proceed with the discussion of the development of Liberia, Abuja and Haiti, as independent Black nations, and other countries where Negroes form a majority of the population. Hon. Freeman L. Martin, St. Louis, moved that a committee of three be appointed to confer with the officers of the U. N. L. A. relative to the sig- nature of the negotiations in the procuring of a ship and report their findings to the convention. Hon. A. R. Wheat, West Chicago, seconded, and the motion was uni- nomously carried. On the motion of the Hon. Bishop McGuire, seconded by Hon. A. G. Ellen- burg, the convention adjourned un- til 8:30 p. m. TUESDAY. EVENING, AUGUST 12. The Convention resumed at 8:30 p. m., the Speaker, Hon. Marcus Garvey, in the chair. After prayers the minutes of the previous session were read and con- firmed. The Speaker granted permission to the Hon. Bishop McGuire to present two resolutions from the Committee, and vacated the chair, which was temporarily occupied by Hon. Rudolph Smith. The first resolution expresses confidence in and appreciation of the leadership of the Hon. Marcus Garvey, President-General. Hon. Bishop McGuire moved the adoption of the resolution by a rising vote and that a special copy of the same be prepared and signed by every delegate of the Convention, and by friends, visitors and members present. Hon. C. L. Logan, Atlanta, Ga., seconded, and the motion was unanimously carried, a rising vote being given. Hon. Bishop McGuire then moved the adoption of the second resolution conveying the Convention's thanks to Mrs. Amy Jacques-Garvey for the valuable assistance rendered her husband and wishing her a speedy restoration to health. Hon. C. H. Bryant, Costa Rica, seconded, and the motion was carried unanimously, a rising vote being given. Hon. Rudolph Smith then kindered to Mrs. Garvey, who was seated on the platform, an expression of the good will and appreciation of the Convention. Hon. Marcus Garvey then returned to the chair. In a felicitous speech he introduced to the Convention Dr. Marie Louise Montagu. President of the International Humanity League, a member of the white race, who one of the leading spirits in the country, had demonstrated her friendship for the race and had assisted in the proclamation of the principles of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Dr. Martin Louise Montagu said it seemed to her that the ecstatic idea in the scriptural cry, "I am black but beautiful," convered to the world that certain shades of color were not incompatible with puberty. Were she in a mood to preach she would take that passage as her text. Continuing, she said the most puzzling phenomenon in the world today was the almost universal condition of disorder existing in the world in face of the fact that the all powerful Receiver could change and old things in an instant. The primary and wonderful fact should not be overlooked, however, that God had been overlooked upon the human race one of His own programmes, that of free will. That fearful and wonderful power of refitting to day (God's mandate) (Continued on page 3) 'LOST VIGOR RESTORED IN 24 HOURS' "Glands Awakened in One Day" Is the Amazing Statement of a Seventy-six Year-Old Veteran. Lost, injured, deadhead glands and muscles, pressed and half-hearted, feeling need not be decoded a silver bonnet since the discovery of a well-known chemist.

NOTICE TO READERS AND AGENTS From and After the Issue Dated July 5, 1924, the Price of This Paper Will Be 10 Cents Outside of New York City and Abroad The Paper Will Continue at 16 Pages THE MANAGEMENT LET'S PUT IT OVER BRAZEN INDICTMENT OF THE WEST INDIAN MEMBERSHIP OF THE UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION MUDSLINGING has become so common in Negro journalism, and among prominent men in Negro organizations of all kinds, against those persons and organizations from which they may differ as to personnel and methods, together with the offensive parade of Negro vice, crime and immorality, as to discredit the profession of Negro journalism. The violence with which the Universal Negro Improvement Association has been assailed and maligned, and its leadership denounced as corrupt and vicious, by Negro editors and organization leaders seeking sales of their newspapers or proselytes to their organizations, has been not only malicious but often criminal. When members of the organization have defended themselves from misrepresentation and abuse they have been characterized "as aliens, Jawless, and a menace to the country," whereas most of them were born or naturalized and think as much of the American government and its flag as their malignant and vicious enemies. When it becomes a law that a man may not defend, his good name and reputation, or that of his organization, with the degree of vituperation and violence, if necessary, and by the like methods, as those employed by his traducers? We would like to know. The New York Age, which should be in better and cleaner business, joins Blanche, Tray and Sweetheart in the mad yelp and pursuit of Marcus Garvey and the Universal Negro Improvement Association, seeking by subtle twistings of fact and fiction to bring forth an indictment that will hold water. But it habitually fails to do more than to work itself into a fretful and nauseating perspiration. In its latest outburst, the New York Age creates a man of straw "a prominent member of the association." "who was heard to remark" that "the time was coming when it would be unsafe for any colored person to walk the streets of Harlem without a Garvey button." Upon this alleged statement by a member of the association The Age proceeds to accuse Mr. Garvey of being in sympathy with "the Ku Klux Klan and other persecutors of the black race," and abuse of his enemies which his followers can use "as justifying physical violence as a measure to be practiced when the time is ripe." That is an assumption out of dense darkness and as baseless as it is malicious. Indian group. To characterize them as otherwise is to "sacrifice truth to make a period round." and The Age has done that and more; it has maliciously slandered a whole race group whose chief fault, in the estimation of The Age, is that they stand by their organization and their leaders, and back them up with their enthusiasm and dollars, and not with the enthusiasm and dollars of white people, as no other race group does or has done. The Age cannot understand that: neither can other race leaders without an organization or a following; but they will understand as we go along. It is written. THERE is no more compact and unified Negro organization anywhere than the membership of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Wherever they are organized it is as an earnest brotherhood and sisterhood alive to the interests of all and determined to protect and advance those interests. Skeptical mankind would not believe until it was accomplished that any such organization could be perfected among Negroes. They had been incited and robbed and murdered so long without intelligent, organized protest that the skeptical had become convinced that they were incapable of getting together and sticking together for themselves and their best interests. The thing has been done and the skeptical in high and low places have been confounded. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, AUGUST 22, 1984 It is the high business of the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association in every community, under every flag, including their own, which they may find themselves, to set an example to others in race pride, in business ventures, in social uplift work, in agitation for civil and economic justice and fairplay, and for the highest standards in moral living. They should not wait for others to start something the race needs—stores and banks and charitable societies, better conditions of work and wages and living, in everything that makes for race uplift and betterment—they should lead others in starting something the race needs for its own betterment. They have the organization, the numbers, the wealth, in wage-carning power or accumulated capital for productive uses, and they have the splendid ability to stand together in order to better to do things necessary and worth doing that other of our race group have not. That is to say, they have much others of the race has not got, and, having much, much is expected of thigm. The Jews outside of Palestine, the Holy Land, are redeeming Palestine by their intelligence, their wealth and the influence they possess among the people of all lands where they are scattered, and many of them are returning to the home country. They have done what they have for the redemption of the Holy Land by sticking together, by making the most of their opportunities wherever they are, in business and the professions, and as workers, getting and holding as much of the wealth of the community as possible by industry and thrift. The Negro will help redeem Africa and build an African State of his own in Africa in much the same way. "Iimprove your condition," said President-General Marcus Garvey, in his Liberty Hall address, Sunday, August 3. "Improve your condition." Yes. In the same place, in his wonderful sermon, August 1, Bishop George Alexander McGuire said: "Fellow men, link up your savings. Link your dime with every other Negro dime; link your dollar with every other Negro dollar, even as our Jewish friends do. You have in your hands the Rod of Financial Acquisition." Yes. Hold fast and use it. POLITICAL CONFUSION EVERYWHERE THERE was never so much political confusion in the world as there is today. The unrest of the masses caused by the as there is today. The unrest of the masses caused by the way the laws are made and administered, with the burden of taxation heavier than ever before: as one of the outcomes, of the World War, and the inability of Europe to get its stride politically or economically, with war clouds hovering over Europe, Asia and Africa, menacing the peace of the world, instead of growing less, appears to be growing more intense. The political discontent in the United States, greater than ever before, is traceable to the same causes. Some twelve groups have placed in nomination candidates for the Presidency, showing that political discontent honeycombs the nation. They all have grievances which they imagine can be righted only by securing control of the law making and enforcing powers. The Negroes of the United States are just as much dissatisfied as those of other race groups of the citizenship. In addition to their economic troubles which others also have, they have class legislation and the one-sided administration of the laws and a villainous race prejudice to contend with. They are thinking as never before. When people who are wronged begin to think, something out of the usual is bound to happen in the natural course of events. For one thing, they are beginning to show their discontent in the same way that other race groups show theirs. They have not always done that. They have followed the beaten paths, almost blindly in the past, and with little thought of what they were to get out of politics into which they put so much. They have not understood, as they are beginning to understand, that a citizen should get as much out of politics as he puts in it. When the world emerges from its present political unrest it will not be the same as it was before the World War came and turned everything upside down. It is not the same world now by far; it will be less so when the new adjustments have been worked out, but whether for better or for worse is a puzzle to the statesman as much as to the politician and the man on the street: It has been said that mankind has made less progress in the science of government, in making and enforcing the laws, that in any other department of human thought and effort, and it may be so. Meanwhile there is political confusion, everywhere and the uncertainty which makes, for unrest and instability. There is an unusual disposition among party leaders in the United States to evade, to sidestep issues which are uppermost and most pressing in the public mind, and which make for the group and bloc action represented by the many candidates which have been put forward to represent them and their issues, all of which shows that the politicians are as much confused and uncertain in their political thinking as are the rank and file. The same sort of confusion and uncertainty are present and serving as a disquieting influence in the politics of Great Britain and the States of Europe, Asia and Africa, and no one can foretell what may come out of it all for the woe or the weal of the world. HEALTH TOPICS By DR. B. S. HERBEN Of the New York Tuberculosis Association As you know, whooping cough is dangerous in that it takes a large toll in life. It not only causes death directly, but by undermining the general health, so weakens the body's resistance to other diseases that we lose each year many children because of its indirect effect. One of the sequels frequently noted is the development of tuberculosis. This disease is much more prevalent among children than any of you suspect, and some of it could have been avoided, had whooping cough been entirely prevented or its course modified and rendered less severe. Pneumonia is an evil complication. and it is usually difficult to pull a child through a siege of it when it is superimposed upon an attack of whooping cough. The pity is that we have not used all our influence to prevent the spreading of this disease, so full of bad consequences to those who are so precious—our children; but since we do not stem to have reached that degree of knowledge, and responsibility, which could wipe out this scourge, let me point out some of the things you can do to deprive it of some of its terrors. In the first place, you must give the child an abundant and nutritious diet. The food should be simple and easily digested. If he vomits the meal dir- ing a paroxysm of coughing, he should be encouraged to eat again, immediately. It is of the greatest importance that he should have the benefit of the curative and preventive qualities of food. Food and sleep and fresh air (the should be kept outdoors hours at a time) will be the best kind of an army for protect him from the onslaughts of the many enemies which throng at the sound of the whoop. The best treatment for whooping cough is the administration of the wheoping cough vaccine. It should be used just as soon as the diagnosis is made. It is a comparatively new treatment, and exceedingly efficacious. It has passed the experimental stage, and we know that it tends to lessen the severity of the attack, and therefore saves life. 135th Street Library Notes An exhibit of W. M. Farrow's pictures is now being held on the main floor of the library. Mr. Farrow's work is distinguished by the intimacy and sympathetic detail of his charming landscapes. The annual exhibit of work by Negro artists will be held this year during November and December. Beginners and those who have not exhibited before are urged to bring their work forward. Fear of rejection should not deter them. The library is working to form a permanent exhibit committee of colored and white artists whose authority and reliability shall be unquestioned. Address Miss Ernestine Rose, librarian, 103 West 135th street. A great many people imagine that they can succeed in life by taking things easy, by not troubling themselves to make the preparation necessary to success and the sacrifices which go along with it. Some appear to succeed without effort in everything they undertake, while others fail, although they appear to all that is necessary to succeed. There is a screw loose somewhere, but they do not seem able to locate it. We have to accept the appearance at its face value. Hard luck people, people who are always down and out, however they strive to have it otherwise, however they plan, baffle their friends, those who wish them well and help them only to find that they have thrown away their assistance, to all intents and purposes, as the object of it seems not to have benefited by it. We can't account for the misfortunes that dog the footsteps of such people. They cannot account for them themselves. The world is full of such people. They serve a purpose, perhaps, which is unknown to us and is usually unknown to them. The world would not be the same if there were not all sorts and conditions of peop.' in it. It is much, like the cross-purposes of life, and most of us are afflicted with some of them. They either stimulate us to greater efforts to succeed or they drag us down to the slums of defeat and despair. Many brave spirits go down to defeat "fighting the harvest home," undaunted to the end, and all such have the admiration of those who know them and their troubles and who sympathize with them. We all should understand that there is no royal road to success. It is the plodder who masters the little things as he goes along who will master the big things in the end and have them to his credit. In the life of every successful person there have been trials which seemed insurmountable to others but which did not deter him from striving on for success. All the great men of the Negro race I have known, and I have known most we have had in the past fifty years, from Daniel Alexander Payne to Marcus Gavrey, have had to overcome obstacles which would have discouraged persons less plentifully endowed with mental and physical prowess. They had no royal road to success. They worked their way to the top of the ladder by the long, steady climb. The poet has phrased it for us in the following lines: "The heights by strong men won and kept Were not attained by sudden flight. But they while others slept Were toiling upward in the night." Or words to that effect. John Brown, one of freedom's most undaunted martyrs, made the lines a motto. Frederick Douglass, Booker T. Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Horace Greeley, they all had to climb in that way. And there was much of tragedy in the lives of all these men, as there is in the lives of most people, those who succeed as well as those who fall by the king's highway. As it is with individuals, so it is with races. To make a new race or to put life into an old one which is dead is: long and costly business, as the history of the Jews on the one hand and the history of the Irish on the other, conclusively show. And for neither the individual nor the race is there any royal road to success. In either case it is a long, tedious and often bloody climb from the lowest to the highest rung in the ladder. The brave individual, the brave race, however, never hesitates to undertake the climb. Equity Congress Drive for Two Thousand Members Equity Congress has started its great drive to increase its membership to 2,000 or more, and expects to accomplish this task in the next four weeks. The organization is calling on each member, to co-operate and get behind our candidate, James L. P. Rumble, for a seat in Congress. Equity Congress meets at the regular hall, 162 West 123rd street, every Sunday, from 5 to 7.30 p.m. Admission is absolutely free to all. Come and hear what they have done and what they are going to do. The object of this organization is the betterment generally of colored people, especially of Greater New York. WHAT WE BELIEVE THE Universal Negro Improvement Association advocates the uniting and blending of all Negroes into one strong healthy race. It is against miscegenation and race suicide. It believes that the Negro race is as good as any other, and therefore should be as proud of itself as others are. It believes in the purity of the Negro race and the purity of the white race. It is against rich blacks marrying poor whites. It is against rich or poor whites taking advantage of Negro women. It believes in the spiritual Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhod 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. EDITORIAL OPINION OF THE NEGRO PRESS Life is a training school, a spiritual symposium, in which obstacles and temptations are sent to develop our spiritual strength. We come into the world with certain definite tasks to do. These tasks are in proportion to our natural abilities. The man who is destined to dig ditches all his life and who does the best he can is as much a success as the man who leads in music, law, politics, philosophy or in the ministry. The thorough ditch-digger living as a good citizen is a far greater success than the man who given great power in life abuses his power or fails to use it for the accomplishment of good. Dr. J. G. Reckertson, the new editor of the "A. M. E. Church Review." It must not be that we shall split asunder intra-racial democracy. Let us look into the mirror of past events and highly resolve to present a clean, fearless front, the perfection of which will be disconnecting to those who by their past actions, have seemingly misled themselves to believe that there is no God—no justice—naught but SELF—Seattle "Enterprise." A mob is an unreasoning thing. It springs up from nowhere at an amazingly rapid rate, overflows its banks like a swollen river, and in an incredibly short time irreparable wrong has been done and atrocious crimes committed. In the civilized States of America, where law and order prevail, prompt acclaim is taken when a mob goes on the rampage, and the leaders are brought to book. The offenders are made to respect the law. In the South, especially if it is a Negro victim, perforatory attention is given to the outrage by the authorities, and in the majority of cases the wrongdoers who remain unchallenged consider themselves immune from the clutches of the law and are ready to put another over.—Boston "Chronicle." A baby crying tig the moon certainly is no more ridiculous than a man clamoring for moonshine. — "Rocky Mount Voice." Convention Sends Greetings to Presidents of Panama and Costa Rica The following catalogs were sent on Saturday. August 16. to President Chiarl and Cabinet, Panama City, Republic of Panama, and President Jiminez and Cabinet, San Jose, Costa Rica, as decided as a session of the convention: Aug. 16, 1924. "President, Chiarri and Cabinet, Panama City, Republic of Panama. "Greetings from the four hundred million Negroes of the slit through our convention now sitting in New York. We hope for you and your country a reign of prosperity and happiness. Please convey our best wishes to your good people. "Fourth International Convention of Negro Peoples of the World.

Greetings from the four hundred-million house of the world through our convention, now sitting in New York. We hope for you and your country a reign of prosperity and happiness. Please convey our very best wishes to your guests. "Fourth International Convention of Negro People of the World." "MARCUS GARVEY, Chairman." Man can learn a lesson from the rest of created things. He can make the most of the things at hand. Some master spirits do that now. The waves of time, the storms of difficulty dash against their life bark, but they sail on. We know them and we love them. They gaze out over the troubled waters, with faces alight with serene confidence. The world's measure of greatness may be money, but the heart's desire is of finer stuff. It is better to live one's own life, to be true to one's own ideals, to be free from comedy whether it be hot or cold, wet or dry. It is better to live content within - to chase the phantom of cold which float like a mirage on a passing cloud.—Kansas City "Call." The Tampa loafers are becoming more dignified every day in every way. Our loafers are progressive loafers anyway. They are ahead of those of St. Petersburg and Lakeland. Our dignity everything but work.—Tampa. "Bulletin." The Master came out of the little town of Nigareth and proved that good can come from any place. Once the spirit of God breathes upon a man, his birthplace is of little consequence.—"Christian Recorder." All real estate men believe in deeds and not in words.—"Rocky Mount Voice." The minority Negro vote will get more respect and regard and consideration by being independent. At present "old parties" double-cross the Negro, and the new movements ignore him. He doesn't count, because they believe that he only uses a party sign and never uses a choice. The moment he begins to "size up" and pick men, he will be a factor to consider. A minority situated like the American Negro ought to be the greatest ballot-scorers in the republic. But this will not necessarily get any immediate offices for black bosses. It will) get advantages for black masses.—A Contributor in the Birmingham "Reporter." Millions Made Homeless By Floods in China SHANGHAI, Aug. 13.—Millions have been made homeless and at least 50,000 persons have been drowned in devastating floods which are sweeping widespread areas of China, submerging tens of thousands of villages. Thousands of refugees are pouring into Peking. It is impossible to get even an approximate estimate of the fatalities, but 50,000 is said to be a conservative estimate. Unusually devastating floods with accompanying widespread destruction of property have been reported from various sections of China during the last few weeks. Late in July, there were serious inundations in the Provinces of Chihli and Hunan. On Saturday further floods were reported from Kwangsi and Sinkluang, but it was reported that the loss of life had been up until that time comparatively small. DEATH NOTICE Rev. A. 2.

Linking Up Negro Peoples Trade Relations We want ships to take from South Africa, from Brazil and the Argentineas, coffee, oil and rubber, to the markets of the world. We want ships to take from Central America, from Costa Rica, from Nicaragua, from Guatemala and Honduras, coffee, cocoa, bananas and citrus fruit to the markets of America. We want ships to go to Trinidad, to Ribadeso, to British Guiana, to Jamaica, to Haytí, to Cuba, and take to the ships of America sugar, bananas, oranges, grape fruits and the citrus fruits that are produced in those countries. We want to carry on a great industrial and commercial exchange with the rest of our people all over the world, and thereby build up a solid industrial and commercial foundation. Knowledge by Travel Now some of you have never traveled. You know nothing about the outer sections of your city or your country. Because of that your knowledge and your information is limited. The man who was born in New York and who has never traveled out to Pennsylvania, or to Massachusetts, or to Connecticut, can hardly imagine the activities of those phases of life that is lived in those places. If he were born in America and never traveled abroad he could hardly imagine the life and the activity carried on in the outer world. Travel is knowledge and information. The world's greatest sitcoms are those who have information. The world's Genuine BAYER ASPIRIN LEARN LEARN English and Spanish Sherhand (Pitman's System). Typewriting.

Rockefeller, of America; take your Appaw Carnegie, of America; your Judge Gary, of America; or Sir Thomas Lipton, of England; or Rothschild, of France; or Hugo Stinnes, of Germany, and you will find that their success in life, above the rest of their countrymen, above the rest of their schoolmates and neighbors was due to the information they had. John D. Rockefeller was, or born in Roumania; he was not born in Persia, in Mexico. John D. Rockefeller was not born in Trinidad, or in the British West Indies. I believe John D. Rockefeller was born somewhere in Cleveland, Ohio. But by the information or knowledge that John D. Rockefeller had he knew oil was in Roumania, he knew oil was in Persia, he knew oil was in Trinidad, and by that information and knowledge John D. Rockefeller, as president of the Standard Oil Trust, incorporated in the State of New Jersey, did not only do business in New Jersey, where he makes his billions, he was able to do business in Persia, Roumania, Siberia, Mexico, Trinidad and Egypt, as well as in Texas and in Oklahoma. If he had not the knowledge and the information he would not have been able to make his billions, to build up the great Standard Oil Trust. How Gary Built And of Rockefeller, so of Judge Gary Gary was not born in Pennsylvania; Garvey was not born in Mexico, in Russia or in Austria. But with the information that Gary had gathered through experience and travel and through other agencies he was able as head of the great United States Steel Trust to connect the steel market all over the world to find where iron ores were to exploit them and to use them for the building up of the great trust and the great combine that he is the head of. All of you were not born in New York; all of you were not born in Texas, all of you were not born in Mississippi, in Jamaica, in Barbados and Trinidad, or in Nigeria or Liberia, but we possess the knowledge as John D. Rockefeller did or does in its exploiting of oil. We possess the knowledge that Gary did in his exploiting of iron and steel and copper. We have the knowledge and information that there is wealth beyond the seas, as well as at your door. Exploit Negro Resources The average Negro, because of this lack of information and knowledge, has been the back number in the commercial and industrial world. You could not tell the Negro about investing $100 in New York about something happening in Pennsylvania. He says "Man, you are crazy." But John Rockefeller, because of his knowledge and information, will remain in Cleveland and invest one billion in Persia, in Siberia, another billion in the Sudan After having the right information he knows what the Sudan or Persia or Russia produces accordingly. And so we come before you to tell you that the world holds for you the same possibilities, industrial and commercial, as it has held and still holds for other races. Whether in the West Indies, in South and Central America or in Africa there still remain billions and billions of dollars of untouchd raw materials waiting on the knowledge and information of American Negroes through proper organization to exhibit. That is what we are endeavoring to do through the agency of the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company. We intend to exploit the resources of Negroes the world over; the oil of the Negroes of Trinidad, the bananas of the Negroes in Jamaica, the cane of the Negroes in Cuba, the cocoa of the Negroes in Costa Rica, the coffee of the Negro in Guatemala, the oil of the Negro in Liberia, the ivory of the Negro on this Ivory Coast, the gold of the Negro in the South and Southwest of Africa. We have information and we are going to turn that information to value. How Great Races Build Some of you will laugh at me talking about going to South Africa for gold and diamonds, goling to Jamaica for bananas, to Cuba for canes. Some of you will laugh at going to San Francisco for oranges and grape fruit; some of you will laugh at me for going down to South Carolina and Louisiana for rice. But when you come to understand what industry and commerce means, you will understand such is the foundation upon which the great races of the world have built, that has made America what it is today, that has made Great Britain the mistress of the world today. Take away the commerce and industry of America and as a nation she fails flat. Take away the commerce of Great Britain and she loses her grip upon the world. The Negro is downrodden, the Negro is desplaced, the Negro is relegated to the scrap-heap of humanity because he has no industrial or commercial force or power and until you have succeeded in building us, yourselves as great commercial and industrial forces you will still be desplaced and spat upon and kicked around throughout the world. It is such a foundation, commercial and industrial, that we want to lay. Some of you must be able to understand and see the importance of our sending ships abroad to bring saw materials to Harlem, to America and to send away finished products fro. America to those far outposts among Negroes. But let me illustrate what I mean in a common sense way. An Illustration When I talk about handling bananas, when I talk about handling sugar, about handling coffee and palm oil and rubber in these different localities, what do I mean? I mean in countries where bananas are grown they are grown! Negroes: where coffee is grown it is grown by Negroes, where oil is produced it is produced through and by Negroes. It means that if you have got a market for the bananas and the coffee and the sugar and the oil and the rubber produced by these people you are supplying them with employment. The thousands of Negroes who proud THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, AUGUST 28, 1924 British Policy of Oppression Brought Plainly Before Island People—Appeals to Government to Help Solve Unemployment Met With Suspension of Public Works MARCUS GARVEY'S PREDICTION QUICKLY BEING FULFILLED—WHAT IS THE NEGRO GOING TO DO? From Port of Spain Labour Leader The die has been cast; and it has now been definitely and officially announced that the new American quota law applies to Trinidad. The meaning of it all put plainly is that, at most, sixty persons a year seeking employment will be permitted to enter the United States from this colony. Now this condition brings us face to face with the employment question; and it is our purpose to deal with this subject today from what appears to us to be the true angle of vision. It cannot be denied that the right to live is the inherent privilege of every loyal subject, and that it is the duty of every well-organized government to provide for the people the means of employment by which they might honestly obtain adequate food, shelter and clothing—the barest necessities of life. That such ingredients of useful citizenship do not exist in Trinidad cannot be gainsaid, hence it was that a large number of the people, not wishing to fall in with a suggestion thrown out by one of our big contemporaries that the right to live was in the gaol, have for the past two years or more been emigrating to the United States of America to seek fresh fields and pastures new. Some of our legislators, and especially Dr. the honorable A. H. McShine, concerned themselves over the swelling tide of emigration, and, in and out of season, drew the attention of the local government to what was happening. This coterie of anti-emigrationists have the satisfaction of knowing today that their efforts have not been in vain, but, we sincerely trust, that they are prepared with a workable scheme to meet the backwash of the tide of unemployment which as a consequence must be the potential outcome of the immigration bar. As a public organ the Labor Leader has never viewed favored the attitude of the local government in sitting still and allowing the best and youngest blood of the colony drawn from every section of society, to shake the dust of the homeland off their feet; because they could not find any means of employment locally. We deplore the fact that out of sheer necessity, out of nothing more than a desire to gain an honest and decent livelihood, many persons were compelled to go afield after practically, like the lepers of old, going out into the city and crying since they felt that if they remained mute and inactive they would have been overcome by hunger, poverty and want. But we also drew the attention of the local government to the fact that it was imprudent to attempt to check the stream of emigration unless they could devise some ways and means of giving employment to the people. As though turning a deaf ear to the suggestion, we have seen the government suspend all public works, and road repairal; and even where private enterprise, as in the case of the tramways extension to St. Joseph, was willing to come in they have simply turned down the proposal until the evil day has now fully come upon the working classes. Unrestricted emigration to America has been stopped, public works have been suspended or reduced, scores of peasant proprietors are, week by week, being thrown out of house and home; the cocoa industry, the backbone of the colony, is standing on its last financial legs, and its only sheet-anchor, the Agricultural janaans, when you buy, you provide them with employment. When you buy coffee it is the same way. You keep thousands and probably millions employed when you bring these raw materials to your own doors. You take them into your factories, you take their palm oil into your factory and refine it and turn it out the finished product. Take the coffee, refine it and ship it back in the refined condition you find in the store. The cocoa you buy from other Negroes and, like the Cadbury cocoa company, you turn it out in finished products. You must employ thousands and millions of your own people to carry on this refining process. That is what the Universal Negro Improvement Association is trying to do. If you can maintain the Negro in Africa and the West Indies to produce the raw materials they own and employ the Negro in America to train these raw materials into finished products, things the world wants, you will become employers, by becoming employers, you become industrially free, you become commercially great, commercially independent, and thereby your race is universally emancipated. That is what we want to for. We want ships, I say, not for the pleasure of looking at them, but for carrying out this trade arrangement, this trade agreement of the U. N. I. A. to successfully, emancipate 400,000,000 Negroes, and tonight as we start this new drive I trust each and every one will clearly understand what we are driving at. We are diligent at the enemy. Bank, is still being humbugged and toyed with. Hundreds of young men and women are walking the streets day by day in quest of employment but can find none. These are the real facts of the case as they appear to us, and we put them to the local government for their careful consideration. It is more than evident that the authorities must rise to the occasion and devise some scheme whereby employment can be furnished the people. And just here the opportunity presents itself to the honorable member whose mind has all along been so much obsessed with emigration fears to use his good offices in the interest of the common well- to solve the knotty problem which is now presented to the government and to the people alike. We cannot close this article without making reference to the excellent services rendered the colony so far as employment is concerned by such firms as the West Indian Tobacco Factory, the Trinidad Electric Company and the Match Factory. To the manager of the first named institution a large section of the young women of the city, especially, owes a deep debt of gratitude for the assistance given them to make an honest livelihood and that at a wage that is certainly all that can be desired, and by far superior to that paid the vast majority of shop girls in Frederick Street. We have no definite knowledge of the number of men and women who find an asylum for employment in the West Indian Tobacco Factory, but we cannot be far wrong if we set it down to be no fewer than four hundred. In no less a degree do we remark upon the activities of the Trinidad Electric Company, and we say it, without fear of contradiction, that these two corporations furnish for the local government a noble example which they would do well to follow, if they are to save the people from themselves. AMERICAN OCCUPATION OF HAITIAN REPUBLIC A 'Puppet' Government Ruling in the Interest of American Economic Development Press Is Muzzled (From the Nation) Haiti is too small to stay in the headlines. The Juggernaut of American imperialism is rolling on, crushing the life out of the proud Negro republic and the American people are unaware of the bitter crimes being committed in their name. We, the American people, conquered Haiti in 1911. There has been no legislation, no legal government in Haiti, since Smedley Butler, now settling the affairs of Philadelphia, appeared, pistol in hand, before the Haitian Senate (go boldly patriotic to do the conqueror's will) and dissolved it. No elections have been held. A puppet government has held power, ruling in the interest of American economic development, and ruling brutally. One branch of the government remained in Haitian hands—the courts. The Americans for their puppet government might issue decrees muzzling the press and forbidding criticism of the conquerors' acts; the courts almost invariably refused, as patrons should, to hold Haitian editors guilty. Again, and again the complaint has been made that the courts were partial an preferred Haitians to harms. Naturally, what Haitian would not? Now this last bulwark of Haitian freedom is being destroyed. On July 28, by decree, the illegal Council of State abolished the permanent tenure of the magistracy. Henceforth insubordinate judges can, and will, be removed by executive fiat. Doubless we shall read in many publicity that the courts were corrupt and the magistrates ignorant; the fact is that the magistrates are being dismissed because they were too patriotic. Elections should, constitutionally, have been held last January. Without motion by the marines or the puppet government many Haitians indicated on excerising their constitutional rights and voting. A senate was elected. This senate, although never sworn into office by the powers that be, has just met. It was particularly aroused by the action of the American authorities in modulating, in behalf of Haiti, recording Important Notice The time has come to return to headquarters all signatures on petitions to be forwarded to the President of the United States and Congress asking for the creation of a Negro nation in Africa for the Negro. The petitions are now being prepared to be presented. Please send in immediately to Universal Negro Improvement Association, 56 West 135th Street, New York, all filled out and other petition sheets now in your possession. All members and Divisions that have money in hand for the Convention Fund are respectfully requested to forward same immediately to office of Secretary-General, Universal Negro Improvement Association, 56 West 135th Street, New York. bv. It is reported that traces of oil have been discovered in the disputed territory, which makes the negotiations particularly interesting. Blood with the possible alienation of their land by their conquerors, the Senators drew up this protest: "The Republic of Haiti is still under the military occupation of the United States, and the Government which rules there is not the free expression of the people's will. It is the duty of the Senate to protest against the initiative of this Government in undertaking. In the present circumstances, to settle the Haitian-Dominican dispute. "The Senate, in the name of the people from whom it obtains its powers, and under reserve of the authority of the High Court of Justice, declares void and of no effect any act which transports Haitian territory to a foreign state, company or individual without the formal consent of the authorized representatives of the nation, and declares that any citizen participating in such an arrangement is a traitor to his country. "(Signed) Cauvin, Cesar, Charmant, Honore, Sandafie, Telemaque, Syvain, Clemaud, Hudicourt, Senators." Americans applaud such courage and in dependence when little nations display it against other great nations. Are they blind and dumb when a weak people attempts to preserve its integrity against their own race? White Slaves Found by An Expedition in Africa From The New York Times LONDON. Aug. 7.--The discovery of a white community living in subjection to blacks has been made, says the Dally Express's Cape Town correspondent, by a South African government expedition, which is studying the breeding grounds of locusts in the interior of the Great Kulahari desert. The members of the expedition found Sebele, paramount chief of a desert tribe, able to speak English fluently. They also discovered about fifty white men and women living near the chief's kraal. They are practically serfs to the natives, filling land for the black owners who give them handfuls of grain as wages. They can not possess land and have no privileges of any kind. It is supposed that they are descentants of old Dutch pioneers who lost themselves in the desert when trekking northward in 1875. PARENT BODY U. N. L A. WHITE PREJUDICE GROWS TORONTO. Aug. 7.—The population of the world is rapidly reaching its limit, and the struggle for expansion which was the ultimate motive of the World War, will inevitably be still more bitter and terrible if it becomes the struggle for existence between white and colored races. This is the conclusion of Prof. J. W. Gregory, expressed this morning in his address as president of the geographical section of the British Association for the Advancement of Science. If population increases as it did in 1905, 1910, there would be as many people as the world could feed in 120 years, and even if food supply could be indemnitely multiplied there would be standing room only on land outside the Polar regions, by the year 2000. There is doublemnence in the race problem, we are warned. From one side is the danger of civilization of the rising tide of color, and from the other is the peril of humanity from the rising tide of color prejudice. Rule of the Whites A thousand years ago the whites held only part of Europe. Now Europeans, though only a third of the world's population, rule eight-ninths of the habitable land. But during the past half century colored races have increased faster than the white. "Increased disparity in numbers means, in a democratic age, an inevitable transfer of power; while the former prestige of the white man has been undermined by his own beneficent rule; like in war and peace, and personal authority which the white man held in 1300 has undergone a mo- rtant N TO ALL S, DIVISIONS, CHAPTER BRANCHES OF THE NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ATION IN AMERICA megiston cousin," said Prof. Gregory. African Negroes are increasing faster than any other people in the world. South America is firmly held by a mixed race and Prof. Gregory thinks it most probable that a similar hybrid people will eventually occupy the southeastern section of the United States with some measure of home rule. The whites can only hope to hold in South Africa certain segregated sections and in Asia only the North and Northwest. White colonists have no chance of permanently occupying land near the overcrowded parts of Asia or accessible to the fast multiplying Negroes of South Africa, he said. Whitee Will Be Ousted .. "White merchants may find in the regions profitable, trading centers and may for a time rule and administer them, but when white enterprise has subdued-the land, built railways and utilized the rivers, the colored man will coast the white from all but, the few posts that require experts." But Australia may be completely colonized by the white race, for the speaker believes that the conquest of tropical disease will enable the tropics to support white civilization. Australian experience has proved that even in the hot and humid climate of Queensland, sugar cane plantations can be more successfully worked by while than by colored labor, although black men can usually stand more heat than white. Prof. Gregory looks to segregation as the best solution of the race problem, for he does not believe in interbreeding and regards co-residence as incompatible with racial integrity and the highest development of either race. As he puts it, the affectionate, emotional Negro, the docile, diligent Asiatic and the inventive, enterprising European, do not work at their best when associated on masses.

BRIGGS In Chicago Daily News WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass., Aug. 1.—The fourth annual session of the Institute of Politics was formally launched today with an impressive and illuminating address by Sir Valentine Chipol, which presented the "rewakening of the Orient" as a profound problem for consideration by Occidental peoples. "The East has begun to challenge Western supremacy," said the speaker, who is one of several notable British representatives present at the conference and is a publicist recognized as an authority in Eastern and Far Eastern affairs. This speech followed an address by President James R. Garfield welcoming the assembled members of the institute—some 225 men and women from all over the United States and representatives of many foreign governments. The exercises were held in Chapin Hall. Fifty years ago, in Madrastine Chirol began, "the enduring supremacy of the Occident over the Orient was almost universally assumed as a matter of course. Orient Aroused Last "How vastly different is the spectacle which the Orient today presents, from the Atlantic shores of Morocco through northern Armenia and right across Asia to the far-off coast of the Pacific. All along that far-flung line its people have been roused from a long, lethal sleep by the masterful impact of the Occident itself. They have begun to question and to probe and to challenge Western supremacy, intellectual and spiritual, as well as economic and material. They are resuscitating memories, sometimes quite mythical, of former greatness and legends of a long-forgotten nationhood. They are rallying the dormant forces of ancient and deep-seated civilizations — sometimes more ancient than our own—and still vital. They are refurnishing the armor of militant faith with a religious ardor, which the Occident has long outgrown. They are borrowing new weapons, even from the Occident's own arsenal and invoking against it its vaunted principles of nationalism and self-determination. Varies in Different Nations "This reawakening of the Orient seems a different shape in different cognitions. But there is one feature common to all. They belong to many different races, and have different religions and social problems, but they are united in a common resentment of the white man's assumption to superiority and of undefeasible crests based on the superiority of a race which owes to nature a generally lighter complexion than that of the populations of the Orient. "Never before has the white man attressed the color-bar as he does today as the rampart of his racial superiority. Never before has the Orient denied his claim to racial superiority so emphatically as it does today. "It denies it sometimes with all the fierceness of atavistic instincts revived by the clash of conflicting civilizations and religions—sometimes contemptuously, because increasing contact has broad familiarity with the seamy side of Occidental civilizations—sometimes, but, unfortunately, more rarely because the Oriental has assimilated enough of the inner spirit of the Occident to demand equal partnership for himself in all that is best of it." Dr. Garfield in welcoming the delegates said significantly: "The fates have brought us together on this occasion at the moment when Western civilization stands at the parting of the ways. Shall we pursue the old paths of local, so-called national self-interest or shall we venture boldly upon the highway of international co-operation? The Institute of Politics can do much to aid in making a wise decision. One is tempted to proclaim in unmistakable terms his belief concerning the way we should go and to demand joint action in preparation for the journey. "But the Institute of Politics is an educational association. We are not here to inaugurate a program of action nor to place our seal of approval as a body upon any proposal, however meritorious. We are here to explore the facts underlying international events and to seek the truth as each sees it concerning international relations. "The temper of the times—the trend of affairs domestic as well as international—is fitly described as cooperative. Americans are still, as they have been from the beginning, believers in individualism. But as populations become more dense and relations more complicated individualism is imperiled. We begin to perceive that co-operation is necessary to its preservation. In our domestic affairs movements are affront of the utmost significance to the future welfare of the country." CHANGE YOUR LUCK! (Continues from page 3) was the secret of the disorders of today. She showed that Lucifer's disobedience of God's will brought about his fall and that of his followers, and Lucifer, she added, was not necessarily black. The only recorded example of the devil's appearance to humanity was in the form of a serpent, and serpents were generally green. The black man had no monopoly of disobedience. It was the white race that stood before heaven and earth responsible for present-day world disorder. Black men were not the transgressors. The black man's faith, his willingness to help and to serve, she thought, gave him priority over the other races, lighter in color, but selfish and useless, and she predicted the day would come when the black race would lead the other races. She congratulated the Convention and the race upon being one of the greatest assets in the world today, a fact which was exemplified in the recognition of the black race as voters and property holders in this country when the Oriental races were rejected. Hon. Sir William L. Sherrill, Second Assistant President-General, moved that a vote of thanks be given Dr. Montagu for her excellent address, and for her sympathy with the work in which that convention was engaged. Hon. C. H. Bryant, Costa Rica, seconded, and the motion was unanimously carried, a rising vote being given. Hon. Marcus Garvey, Speaker, then tendered the thanks of the body to Dr. Montagu, who returned her thanks. The order of the day was then proceeded with—the discussion of the educating of the Negro race as to the real meaning of society, and laying down the principles that should guide those of the race desiring to become socially distinctive; also creating an atmosphere of purity around the young generation of the race to better prepare them for a higher social life. Hon. Hannah Nicholls, New York, said much had been said about the part that should be played in the home by the mother, especially, but it seemed to her that what was greatly needed and most essential was the practice of self-control and purity by the men. This would give the child health in body and mind. Hon. J. J. Peters, Chicago, said something more sociologically valuable should be added to the oft-quoted statement, "A race can rise no higher than its women." It should rather be said, "The women can rise no higher than where the men put them." He referred to the social diseases so rampant, and urged upon men and women, in the interest of the next generation, to banish prudery and mock modesty; be more frank in their relations, and give precreation more eugenic attention. Hon. Dr. Rawlins, New York, said veneral, disease had increased alarmingly among the members of the black race. This was due to concealment, the result of ignorance. It was not that the black race was more vicious than other races, but members of the white race, for instance, always saw to it that curative treatment was obtained early. Hon. J. A. Hassell, Seattle, remarked that the disease mentioned by the two doctors was the legacy of the missionary white man. It was also due to the inclination on the part of men of the black race, who traveled to regard women of other races as more beautiful and desirable than their own. Hon. Prof. D. H. Kyle, Clarkshurge, W. Va., emphasized that example, not so much precept, was the method by which the evils referred to would be remedied. The Speaker hereupon remarked that there was a disposition to stray from the subject under discussion. Hon. J. B. Eaton, Norfolk, Va., said the so-called intellectuals had a false conception of society. In many communities "society" was regarded as composed of those who went to church whenever the doors were thrown open. Hon. Rudolph Smith, Third Assistant President-General, spoke on the light-hearted manner in which matrimony was entered into. There was too much unitation of the other fellow. He also dwelt on the false conception of the essentials for admission into "society." He advocated the dissemination of helpful literature by the U. N. I. A., and then moved that the discussion be closed and that a committee be appointed to prepare literature to be sent out to the divisions so that the boys and girls of the race might be better educated. Hon. C. H. Logan, Atlanta, second Hon. H. V. Plumfler, New York, suggested to the mover that he amend his motion to read, that the committee be appointed to formulate some concrete proposition under which the President-General could have the literature circulated. The suggestion was accepted. Rising to unreadiness, several delegates expressed the opinion that the subject had not been discussed from important angles. The social side had hardly been touched. The motion was then put to the house and carried by a majority vote. The Speaker then appointed the following Committee: Hon. P. L. Burrows. First Assistant Secretary-General; Hon. Dr. Rawline, New York; Hof. Mrs. M. Boyd, New York; Hon. G. A. Wheaton, New York, and Hon. Rudolph Smith, Third Assistant President-General. The Chair intimated that on resumption next day reports of committees would be received, after which the convention would proceed to discuss the development of Liberia, Abyssinia and Haiti as independent black nations, and other countries, where Negroes form the majority of the population. On the motion of Hon. R. A. Martin, Florida, Cuba, seconded by Hon. Carrie Minua, New York, the adjournment was taken. WEDNESDAY MORNING, AUG. 13 The convention assembled at 10:15 a. m. the speaker, Hon. Marvin Garvey, in the chair. After prayers, the minutes of the previous session were read and confirmed. The speaker announced that from the 51st of the month the sessions would be devoted to discussing the business of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. He, therefore, appealed to the delegates and deputies to expedite the other business on the agenda: Hon. Bishop McGuire moved that ten minutes be allowed each delegate or deputy for discussion of the business before the house and twenty minutes to such delegate or deputy as may be called upon by the speaker to make the keynote address. At the suggestion of Hon. H. V Plummer, New York, and Hon. F Johnson, Detroit, the motion was altered to read five minutes for delegates and fifteen minutes for the keynoter. The motion was unanimously carried. Hon. P. L. Burrows, First Assistant Secretary-General, moved that the resolution read and adopted at the previous session expressing confidence in the leadership of the President-General be published over the names of those who subsequently signed it in the next issue of The Negro World. Hon. C, Minus seconded, and the motion was unlawfully carried. Hon. W. A. Wallace intimated that the report of the committee in regard to formation of a political union was ready, though the chairman and secretary were absent on business. It was agreed that the report be read by the chairman later. Hon. J. D. Barber, as chairman, then read the report of the committee appointed to draft an appeal to His Holiness the Pope of Rome, His Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury, and the heads of the Christian churches, as leaders of Christianity, for, an honest and human settlement of the problems of humanity, especially as such problems affect the Negro. After some discussion of the report in committee it was decided, on motion of Hon. D. Dantels, Brooklyn, seconded by Hon. Jeffers, New York, that the report be re-committed to the committee to be re-drafted with the assistance of Bishop McGuire, the report to be presented on Friday next. Hon. Prof. D. H. Kyle, Clarksburg, W. Va., as chairman, next presented the report of the committee appointed to formulate suggestions as to the ways and means of adjusting the race problem of the Southern States to the satisfaction of all concerned. Hon. F. A. Toote, Philadelphia, moved, after a brief discussion, that the report be received and adopted as read. Hon. R. A. Bachelor, Oriente, Cuba, seconded, and the motion was unanimously carried. Hon. F. Johnson, Detroit, next presented the report of the committee appointed to draft an appeal to the Presidents of America, France and Portugal, and to the Kings of England, Italy, Spain and Belgium, and their parliaments, asking for a square deal for Negroes in Africa, America and the colonies. After some discussion it was decided, on the motion of Hon. Bishop McGuire, seconded by Hon. F. A. Toote, Philadelphia, that the report be referred back to the committee, which shall confer with the proper officers of the U. N. I. A. with a view to certain changes of a diplomatic nature in the wording being made. The consultation then adjourned. WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AUGUST 13 The convention resumed at 2:20 p.m., the speaker, Hon. Marcus Garvey, in the chair. After prayers the minutes of the previous meeting were read and confirmed. News items which appeared in the New York papers showing the unrest existing in the Sudan, where the natives are agitating for autonomy and a recent conquest by the Moroccanes of the Spanish, were read to the convention at the direction of the speaker the Hon.

Read and study from cover to cover your Constitution, so that no one can take advantage of you by infringing upon your constitutional rights. 4. See to it that your local Secretary makes a monthly report of all moneys received and disbursed, and let him read the copy of his report to the Parent Body and produce receipt of acknowledgment for remittances, so that you can be sure that your Division is financial. 5. See to it that no Officer or anyone starts anything by way of raising money or doing business or creates any financial obligation on the Division without the proper consent first of the Parent Body and members of the Division at a special general meeting duly and properly called. 6. Look out always for sharpers and self-seekers, who are always anxious to promote new schemes for their own purposes. 7.

This year the organization will address all those vital problems that affect the race and to lay down a solid base for the industrial elevation and development of our people. This year's convention will be far ahead in importance of all the other meetings and will call for a great deal of expenditure on the part of the parent body of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, hence the importance to each and every one to contribute to our general and convention fund. Let every Negro give freely as much as he can afford toward this fund so as to assist the Association to carry out its work. All members should collect and send in to the fund.

THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, AUGUST 28, 1884 MARCUS GARVEY DEFENSE FUND Again the enemies of Marcus Garvey are at work. After plotting to discredit him through the Black Star Line in which they did not succeed, they again planned to have completely rendered him unpopular among Negroes by trying to indict him at the very opening of the Fourth International Convention on the charge of false income tax report. The same group of enemies who once said that Garvey had sent his sister away with all the Black Star Line money now comes back and says that Garvey has no sister, so that when he made out his income tax report, it was false to mention that he had a sister.

Mississipians Do Not Consider Orientals as Being White Persons and Treat Them Accordingly From The Norfolk Journal and Guide Very recently we chronicated the fact in the Journal and Guide that Afro- Americans were being pressed into service by the fruit and vegetable growers of California to take the places of the Japanese who were dispossessed and driven out by California land laws and the dractic provision of the immig- ration act, which went into effect July 1, last. The following news dispatch discovers another phase of the ques- tion which will interest all of us alike, as its promises to create another sort of race problem in the Southern States, which may help or may hinder; the news dispatch says; and settle in the delta region of Missi- spislah, announces Hiroshi Nakimura, a lawyer. He says his associates are contemplating the purchase of large tructs of land in the delta region. "Acting for a group of Japanese, Nakimura recently spent some time inspecting lands in several Midwestern and Southern States with the idea of selecting sulla colonization sites. "California's allien-law laws, the subject of years of controversy and litigation and finally upheld by the United States Supreme Court, have forced the state to seek other fields for development and to expand this country. At first a tract of 20,000 acres of land in the Ozarks was decided upon. It was then learned that Missouri has allien-law laws similar to those of California and the "colonization plan in that State was dropped." We very much doubt if the alleged Nordic rulers of Mississippi will countenance this threatened complication of their race problems, although the migration has greatly crippled their pride through the severe loss of man power for farm and other rough work. Then, too, a few years ago, in the gubernatorial office of Governor Ellen Eman, we believe one of the leaders of Mississippi refused to allow Italian children to attend the public schools, classing them as "colored." Governor Bilboa is distinctly of Latte orkin, as his name implies, and may be a descendant of one of the rowdy adventurers of DeSoto, who was buried in the Father of Waters. In Mississippi the Japanese settlers will not be classed as "white," but they will have to be treated as such or so chosen the reason why as individuals and through their government. The Japanese are not regarded as being "white," but they suggested as tradesmen among the colored people, making friends of them generally. The planters of Mississippi have suffered very greatly by the migrant movement, Chicago and the West beating in a very direct line through the delta, and Negro workers are far from being so docile in as other days, when they had not learned the "wetward," Hot call. They will not now stand and be treated in employment and the savage or engegance, or imagined injury, that they formerly did. They don't have to. They move away between suns. We shall watch with interest the Japanese experiment in Mississippi. Henry Morales, Alimarite. Henry Morales, Alimarite. Jonathan Hayden, Alimarite. Alice Brown, Alimarite. Bryan Bryan, Alimarite.

Aug. 13. — In connection with the trouble in the Sudan, the Admiralty has ordered the battleship Marlborough to leave Zara, Dalmatia, for Alexandria. The light cruiser Weymouth, on route for Colombo, Ceylon, was ordered to Port Sudan, where she arrived yesterday, and the sloop Clematis is on her way for the same port. The London newspapers display extensively the disturbances in the Sudan, which they attribute to a conspiracy by persons in Egypt aiming to oust the British from the Sudan and establish Egyptian rule. Agitation to this end has been in progress for months the main organizers being, it PROGRAM FOR BIG CONCLAVE OUTLINED NEGROES COMING FROM ALL PARTS OF THE WORLD FORMATION OF NEGRO POLITICAL UNION TO PROTECT RIGHTS OF RACE This Will Be the Greatest and Most Representative Gathering of the Negro Peoples of the World. The Program to Be Discussed Will Be: UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION RELIGIOUS INDUSTRIAL SOCIAL COMMERCIAL Is said, the White Flag Society of Cairo. It is recalled the Egyptian Premier, Zagloul Pasha, told the Chamber in June that Egypt would insist upon complete evacuation of the Sudan by Great Britain, and, afterward, the British Ministers announced in Parliament that the British on no account would renounce their responsibilities to the Sudan and the Sudanese. May Cance, Negotiations The editorial writers, while not believing the present trouble necessarily will have serious consequences, foresee a possible regrettable delay in settling the Egyptian problem and even a conceivable cancellation of the impending negotiations with Zagloul Pasha. Editorial opinion strongly supports the government in its Sudanese policy. The Times says: "Either to admit the Egyptian pretensions to the Sudan or to leave the Sudan to the Sudanese would be an inconceivable folly and iniquity." The latest dispatches from Khartum and Cairo say the actual casualties in the clash at Atbara were four killed and fifteen wounded, that no Egyptian troops were present and that the troops who fired the shots were Sudanese Arabs, acting, apparently, without orders and under extreme provocation from the rioters. British troops and airplanes are reported to have left Cairo yesterday to reinforce the garrison at Khartum.

MARCUS GARVEY, President-General press, the Egyptian government has decided to recall to Egypt the railway battalion, "which caused the disturbance at Atbara." Rioters Damage Railroad ALEXANDRIA, Egypt, Aug. 13.—An official communique says the soldiers of the Egyptian railway battalion committed a considerable amount of sabotage within the railway works, destroying automobiles and machinery with long iron bars and also setting fire to the railway offices. They refused to respond to the moderating counsels of their commanding officers and the senior officials of the Sudan railways, it is declared. A court of inquiry has been established by order of the Sirdar. It appears, according to the communique, that the order to fire was given by a lieutenant of the Sudanese Arab mounted rifles, who instructed a sergeant to make the men fire over the heads of the Egyptian soldiers who were attacking them. British Must Fight to Hold the Nile Country From the New York "World" From the heart of darkness, inner Africa, comes a new flash of racial claims to threaten the diplomatic world with what it calls a crisis. Native troops have revolted in Egypt; there are pro-Egyptian demonstrations AFRICAN SLEEPING SICKNESS CURED Science Overcoming Parasites in the Blood Deadly to Whites in Africa, and, Which Keep Them Out of Country TORONTO. Aug. 10 — Revolution in the treatment of tropical disease by chemotherapy was outlined by Dr H. H. Dale, F. R. S., at a luncheon given the British Association for the Advancement of Science, by the Hamilton, Ont., Board of Trade. An Englishman who had contracted the deadly sleeping sickness in Africa was brought to London for cure. All grown remedies were tried in vain, and it seemed that he must soon sink into the fatal coma, when it was announced that a new drug had been invented in Germany that would destroy the animal parasite in the blood that caused the disease. As a last chance, the patient was carried on a stretcher to a ship and sent to Hamburg, where he was given two injections of "Bayer 205". When next heard from he had started on a CONSTITUTIONAL farther up the Nile; British troops are being sent to the Sudan. Britain may have the situation well in hand; but south of Egypt, hemmed in by other conquests of the British, French and Belgians, lies a country of sand and jungle, larger than all the United States east of the Mississippi River, which has been experimenting with nationalist propaganda for ten years. Its population, roughly estimated at 4,000,000, consists of Arabs and Negroes and Nubians of mixed Arab and Nubian blood. The British have governed these dark people since the reconquest of the country by Kitchener in 1898, with a window-dressing of authority shared by Egypt. In recent years, however, with "self-determination" launched upon the world as a slogan for small nations, there has been both in Egypt and the Sudan an increasingly active agitation for independence and union under the Egyptian flag. It is this agitation which now proves serious enough to call Mr. Mac-Donald's attention from the Ruhr to Africa. On its face, the struggle is for union and for recognition that the culture of these two African peoples is alike enough to build one state. But back of that lies the struggle for the headwaters of a river. No other nation's life is fed as Egypt's life is fed by the turgid waters of a single stream. For a decade Egyptian patriots have asserted that their country could have no real existence as a nation without real possession of the Nile. 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 part. The Political Union shall represent the political hopes and aspirations of the fifteen million Negroes of the United States of America on American questions, domestic to America, and shall represent the interests of the millions of Negroes of the West Indies in their different and respective islands affecting domestic political questions, and so also in the scattered communities of Africa. The union shall have a sympathetic relationship politically, with Negroes all over the world, but each country or community will have its own domestic program for the betterment of the race, in that country or community. But the strength of the union shall be given to any community or country to politically assist it in putting over its political program. As, for instance, if the Negroes of America were politically agitating or working for the passage of any special measure for the benefit of the race, the entire strength of the union would be placed at the disposal of the American section. If the Negroes of Trinidad desired to carry out any political measure for the benefit of that community, the union would use its strength in assisting them, and so with any community where the Negroes live throughout the world. No longer, therefore, will individual politicians represent the interests of the Negroes, but the Negroes unitedly will be represented by the Negro Political Union. Let us all, therefore, work for the successful consummation of the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, so that we may be able to glory in a brighter day industrially, commercially, socially, religiously and politically.

Marcus Garvey, the Executive Council and all the general co-workers of the U. N. I. A. for this able and successful enclosure. I must confess that I have never seen so wonderful a gathering of black people before. It was an untold privilege which has left its impression, which can never be erased, until death. This exceptional triumph has welded itself into the historic environment of my innerself, and as a famous gathering has exceeded all my former imaginations of what the Fourth International Congress of the Negro Peoples of the World would be. It is so stupendous that the minds of the uninitiated could not grasp its amazing wonders. "Little did I know that thousands of black folk were able to meet in a great conclave, acting in unison, although of diversified nationalities. Have they been trained to the specific actions which intensified the united spirit of the present sittin congress? Is there a psychic personality that hews over the invisible area of this great conclave? I cannot but deem it thus. You may differ, but that is the impression that thrilled me during the five-days' opportunity to observe the workings of that great convention. Oh, had time been my most devoted asset, I would like to enjoy, live, and suppied it all to my soul. As I saw the monster parade winding itself across the wide avenues of Harlem. New York.

DEPARTMENT 14 2189 Seventh Avenue NEW YORK CITY Even the deaf, dumb and half dead Delhi, La. assert itself and impel the race to select the most attractive, and most outside the most repulsive that makes up life. It is the tragedy of human society that oppressive governments and false religions are the causes of suppression of the natural laws of selection. Under the lash of these governments and religions, the Black race against its natural instinct for a long period of time has been choosing the ugly and rejecting the beautiful, but nature is infinitely greater than the clubs and breeds of man. She never sleeps; shields the time when the ugly shall become so abhorrent to her children that they will overthrow their oppressors, and reach forth for the beautiful that for darkened centuries their suppressed souls have dreamed. A race is some day awakened from its deadly slumber, and that day marks an historical age in the journey of that race, in which it gathers to its hungry heart a portion of the things beautiful and lives again. HUBERT E. LEE. New York city. The Little Black Boy And the British Warship Dear Sir--Permit me space in The Negro World to let its readers know what is in the minds of some of our boys. A few days ago it was announced that the biggest warship in the British navy would pass through the Canal, bound for Jamaica. Everybody seemed to turn out to see the great ship, Black and white, English and Spanish, waited on the dock at Balloa to see, and about 10:20 orock the great monster have in sight. She was truly worth seeing - 860 feet long and 104-foot beam. Everybody looked on in wonder; then a little black boy broke the spell by saying, "Oh, bye and bye the Negro will have better ships than that." Once upon a time that crowd would have laughed that boy to scream. Who knows? Perhaps that boy in the future may be the Nelson of the Negro race. Panama Canal Zone, August 3. To the Editor of The Negro World: If the most gifted of writers or the most eloquent of speakers were to devote the remainder of their lives to the writing or speaking of matters vital to Negro interest, no greater truths and eloquence of expressing them could be added than were contained in that transcendent address delivered by the Hon. Marcus Garvey before the august assembly of delegates and spectators at the opening session of the Fourth International Convention of Negroes on August 1. Truly that date is a red letter day! A day to be known to Negroes for all time as an outstanding milestone on the long, steep, rough road that shall end only in the ultima tule of national progress. Never in my thirty years of life have I been so thrilled, so insulted, so proud of being a Negro as when I read that infinitible oration. Such nobility of spirit and sincerity of soul; such indomitability of will and exaltedness of racial pride; such incite reasoning and unanswerable logic have never been more comprehensively evident and finely expressed than in that soul-stirring speech of the president general. The man is a veritable Demosthenes for oratory effect, and an laocrates for loftiness of national idealism. How utterly pigmified are the personalities of his malicious skilkers beside his own towering and magnetic individuality! Great was my regret that owing to my work, I was unable to hear Mr Garvey speak. Still, I am glad I am privileged to read and re-read his address. And I here suggest that it be issued of pamphlet form so that any Negro may secure a copy to read, learn and inwardly digest its indispensable teachings. Now wonder this combine of Mores and Auton (the leader and the speaker) of our face is blighted by awakened and awakening Negroes. One feels that with a leader of such unimphoning courage and untiring热泪 our people can "put over" the most exacting of race programs. O, follow Negroes! Let us not only feel inspired by our captain's call to dare and do, but let us not on that application. We must not remain in either the ranks of the despicable and fathish scuffers or the sourcedlessly yelled who neither blow hot nor cold. Let us heed the solemn warning of the fatal consequences to our nave, which must inevitably result if we do not awaken to the urgent need of the present times and help all we can to "send over the top" this needful national movement. During the late war we were told to "give until it hurts." The better slogan for us is "give, for it cannot hurt." No, it cannot hurt when the glying means the vindication of our rights and the assurance that our foreparents of slavery times did not suffer their long martyrdom in vain. Let us, too, hear their silent voices ever urging us to "go on, go on." Aye, as some gigantic wave implacably ever advancing, let our action for a national existence not pause, but to spend itself, in an AFRICA TRIUMPHANT! MARTIN DOVERE STUART. Brooklyn, N. Y. A Native Greeting From South Africa To the Editor of The Negro World: I am not an active member of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, but as a black man I have felt it my duty to say a few words in behalf of the Hon. Marcus Garvey and the Universal Negro Improvement Association, which are acting in the interest of the Negroes scattered throughout the world. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, AUGUST 23, 1924 The Marble Mebrow Day and Night Nursery, 40 West 116th street, New York city, has undertaken to build a new shaltering home at 51 and 53 West 116th street, which will shelter about 600 little unfortunate fatherless and motherless children, and we appeal to you and ask you: Did it ever occur to you that there are in our city of New York thousands of children who are not living—just merely existing? Did you ask yourself how a poor widow manages, to support her unfortunate children? Our institution shelters these dis-tressed children, providing them with clothing, food and medicine, free of charge. Orphans, little ones who but a short time ago were so happy, tenderly watched over and protected by a loving father and mother; babies, all alone and helpless, their dear parents have been taken from them, poor little waffles. What will become of them? They do not understand what has happened; they do not know of their loss. They just raise their tiny little hands and call for daddy and mother. Good people will find them and bring them to our new home. But the institution is powerless to help unless you do your share. And you will. Your great heart will respond to the cries of these parentless babies. We have given our pledge of faith to save the babies and build a new home for them. Give them as much as your means will allow, and help wipe away their tears and build for them a haven of comfort and happiness. We cannot give them back their mothers and fathers, but we can and must give them a home. To this sacred task we are dedicated, and, in the name of the dear little ones, give what you can, and the blessings of the poor orphans that we are serving so well will be your eternal reward. In our thirteen years of existence we have sheltered thousands of undurate little boys and girls who, through no fault of their own, were left fatherless and motherless, without appealing to any of our people for financial help. All donations toward our building fund will be accepted with thanks. We thank you in advance, and assure you that the mutual feelings will from now on be stronger between both people than ever before. THE HARLEM HEBREW DAY AND NIGHT NURSERY, Mr. Wm. Schor, Superintendent. Japan Taxing Americans Out of the Country (From the New York Evening Post) TOK10, Aug. 13. Americans are customized to enjoy all of the com- forts of life while resident in Japan will find life much more expensive when the luxury tariff goes into effect on August 21. One hundred per cent, duty on food and drink and clothing which they are accustomed to have will, it is esti- mated, increase their total cost of living from 50 to 60 per cent. They no longer will be able to live in princely style for less money than they would spend in a big city at home for a modest existence. Virtually no Americans live wholly in Japanese style, sitting on the floor and eating only Japanese dishes washed down with tea, or at best Japanese beer or inexpensive sake, while the world's closest absolute beverages are obtainable at lower prices than in London. Besides having an abundance of American foods, fresh and canned, they buy American shoes collars and many things, such as toilet articles and soap. It is, thought Americans who will suffer most by the new duties are the missionaries. Many of them are able to live so well on their small salaries that missionaries as a class are looked upon in Japan as "rich people." But unless they change their diet to conform closely with that of the Japanese they will be unable to continue to live in their accustomed way. The tariff will apply to food and clothing and other durable supplies sent to them from home, as well as goods shipped commercially. Comprehension of these effects of the new art has caused many Americans to realize that the Government's object in putting the bill through was not simply to increase the revenue some $15,000,000 or so annually. have caught the vision of Mr. Garvey that Africa must be freed from the hands of the exploiters. May God bless Marcos Garvey the waker of the Negro race throughout the world. Wishing you every success for the month of August that you will carry out the big work for our noble race and Nakosi kelikele Africa (God bless Africa). NATHANIEL NTENGO, Cape Town, South Africa The door of the fourth international convention of the Negro people of the world is open. Leaders from the four corners of the globe are assembled to consider plans and to provide means for putting over the program. Our people have an opportunity to answer the enquiries of freedom and all those who oppose us, by supporting our leaders in putting over every feature of the program as outlined. We can do it and it must be done. At this time every individual member and pace lover ought, to do something to help our leaders to put over this great work. I know many thousands of us can't make large financial donations as they desire; still they can send in their pennies, nickles, dimes and quarters. Let's send them in by thousands every week during the sitting of this convention and help put it over. J. 2. PHILLIPS. British Guiana and Trinidad Unite to Send Hubert Critchlow as Delegate to Labor Conference and to Interview British Authorities in Regard to the Deplorable Condition of the Working Classes The advent to this colony of Mr. Hubert Critchlow, secretary of the British Gulana Labor Union, furnished an opportunity on Monday night for the exchange of felicitous sentiments of the two big Labor organizations of the British West Indies and of British Gulana. On that night an extraordinary meeting of the Trinidad Workingmen's Association was convened to do honor to the visitor who was on route for England to attend the Holland Labor Educational Conference, at Oxford, and, at the same time, to make certain demands of the Home Government, not only in respect of British Gulana, but also for Trinidad, with a view to bringing about a better condition for the working classes of these two colonies. Although the meeting had been arranged at a rather late hour, the response to the call of labor was all that could be desired, for long before the hour fixed hundreds of the horny-banded sons of toll were seated in Liberty Hall. Precisely at 8:50 Mr. Critchlow, accompanied by Capt. A. A. Cipriani, president of the Trinidad Workingmen's Association, and Mr. W. Howard Bishop, general secretary, arrived on the scene, and were supported on the platform by Messrs. Fred Adams, H. C. Bain, Fitz Aaron Brathwaite, James Brathwaite, ex-secretary of the association, and members of the committee. Capt. Cipriano, addressing the meeting, said that it was his pleasant duty to introduce to them that night a gentleman who had worked with his hands as a stevedore laborer from boyhood, who then held the distinguished post of secretary and treasurer of the British Gulana Labo Union, and who, enjoying the confidence and esteem of the working people of that colony had been delegated by them to proceed to England and lay their grievances before the Home Government. The gentleman on his right was that man. He was now on his way to England, and he thought that it was more than fitting that they should meet together there to do honor to him, and also to deliver to him the mandate to do whatever in his power lies to help the working people of Trinidad and to bring about a confederation of labor in the West Indies. (Loud applause). He did not wish to take up much of their time, for he knew they were all anxious to hear what loss of their men had to say about the labor movement, and he felt sure that Mr. Critchlow would create a revival in their hearts to work more strenuously than ever in the great cause. He, therefore, had very great pleasure in calling upon him to address them. The Voice of True Labor Being amidst uprourious applauds Mr. Trichlow prefixed his remarks thus: Mr. President, officers of the Executive ladies and gentlemen: I am a lawyer. From my early boyhood it has been my lot to push trucks on the wharf and to lift bogs just as you are doing. I do not pretend to be an educated man, but I am going to tell you just here that I am one of the men in the West Indies who are determined by constitutional means to lift the burden of oppression from this shoulders of the working classes. (Cheers.) For one hour and ten minutes the speaker told story after story of the lot of the workingman of British Guiana, and drew from his hearers alternate sights of pity and outlists of laughter as he portrayed the life of the West Indian worker from every conceivable angle of vision. Not a word that fell from his lips was dull, but every sentence uttered by him rang to the mintage of the heart of a man who like the vast majority of his hearers, had been a man of sorrows and acquainted with the griefs of the industrial system. When he recounted the thrilling tales of the leagued propaganda by the employing class for the oppression of the worker he was vehement. When he told tales of overworked, underpaid and underdied men, women and children he was serious and sad; but when he outlined the prospect of a better day coming for all sorts of workers, whether by hand or by brain, the very pronouncement was brimful of that cheery hope which could, laugh, the gnats and gaffles of capitalistic criticism out of anything like the senblance of countenance. Making a direct appeal to the members of the Workingmen's Associations he exhorted them to give that moral and financial support to the Union without which they would ever be a negligible quantity. They should follow the example set them by the capitalist and the employing class. In every colony—indeed, all over the world—they had banded themselves together in unions for protection and power, and the workingman, the under dog, had every right to do the same thing to obtain the same results. The employing class had a formidable weapon at his back—his money; and the employed class had a similar instrument which he could use—the strike. But he needed money to use it effectively—and it was up to them to organize and support a Important Notice TO MEMBERS OF THE UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION in Philadelphia and Elsewhere fund within their own ranks to make this weapon as useful as possible. He was not telling them to rush readily and in an insensate way to do anything that was opposed to law and authority, but he was certainly telling them that unless they got financially and numerically strong they would neither be respected by the law nor by any authority. It was absolutely no use for them to get at street corners and grumble away at this or at that injustice. That process would never remedy matters, while it would expose them to the risk of being run in by the police. They were to come to the Union and refuse to have anything done on their behalf unless the Union were treated with, and they would very soon find that matters in Trinidad would have a better outlook. He understood that there were no trade union laws in his colony. This, to his mind, was a 'very great disadvantage under which they labored', and by virtue of the powers vested in him through the mandate which was to be given, he would do his best to impress the Secretary of State with the need for such an ordinance on the statute book of this colony. (Loud and continuous applause.) In conclusion he commended to their favorable notice the following lines, which form one of the authorized hymns of the Labor Party in England: Howard University Law School Goes Up Higher WASHINGTON, D. C.-The secretary of Howard University School of Law, James C. Watera, Jr., announces that the school year, 1924-25, will open October 1, 1924, with a faculty of twelve, including three full-time professors. The law school library, which was recently declared "one of the best of the smaller law libraries to be found anywhere in this country," will contain approximately 5,100 volumes, which is above the minimum required for a standard law school. The faculty of law takes pleasure also in announcing the inauguration on October 1, 1924, of A course of postgraduate studies, leading to the degree of master of laws. Persons who have received the LLB. degree from this or any other law school may, upon approval by the dean, be admitted to the master's course. Serious-minded men and women who seek to broaden the legal information heretofore obtained, will find in this course a coveted opportunity. To the graduate who took his degree 10, 15, and even 20, years ago, and who neglected to take the bar examination, this post-graduate course should prove a veritable God-send, for the chance offered him will be relatively greater than anyone else. The effect of these changes and additions is to place Howard University in the first division of law schools in this country. This division with Howard added now numbers 45 out of a total of 146 law schools, and makes it but a question of a short time when this school of law will not only be accorded membership in the American Law School Association, to which it is now fully eligible, but also to enrollment as a full-fledged Class A law school under the rules of the American Bar Association. The new catalog for 1924-25 is now available and may be had by addressing the secretary at 420 Fifth street N. W., Washington D. C. JUDGE FOR YOURSELF The Madam C.J.

City State This Coupon Saves You Money—Use It Today "AFRICA FOR AFRICANS" A GROWING SENTIMENT Desire for Self-Expression a Sure Sign of Developing Independent Character Individuals composing the unit of groups, of nations and of races are ever in a combative struggle to give full vent to their ambition and demonstrate in full measures their powers for development. Any and everything becomes offensive to them that attempts to arrest or thwart their activities in that direction. The desire for such autonomy may first become the ideal of the individual and through him spread like contagion throughout the entire sphere of racial or national groups, whose aspirations become fired and 15,000,000 voices ring out in one accord, demanding the right to participate in the affairs of government and have some rights representation therein. The child in the home, humble, obedient and authoritarian to his elders, who feels and knows of his dependent position, soon grows into the natural desire for full freedom and expression of his independence and accepts the responsibility of manhood in order to achieve his ideal. Weaker people, the world over, growing into the fullness of their matured self, have and are now demanding governmental autonomy because of the same desire that the child in the home be- comes obsessed with. The clamor of Ireland, of Egypt, of India, of Haiti and of 15,000,000 American Negroes, with Marcus Garvey raising the battle cry of "Africa for Africans," are but precipitated signs of the growing tendency of the human race for self-expression, not only religiously, but politically and economically as well. "The Tattier" balances that if the proper thought and guidance, along with moral and financial support, are given to these potent signs as they appear in our race group; filtered of bigotry, selfishness and the desire to be known as analytical critics, much constructive good would be produced, as well as mitigating the destructive forces now so rampant in our midst. Although the desire for self-expression may now border upon impudence and silly vituperation from our young men and over-zealous elders, it is not to be despised even though it necessitates attempts at control. Every child, sooner or later, longs for the land of "do as you please," and oftimes experiences bitter defeats. Yet it is the land in which he first gets the opportunity for free, untrammeled self-expression. But these defeats are the mosaic bases of his future career and shape his destiny upward or downward." And he that reareae the fall downward should not struggle for the glory upward." The political situation today is giving the Negro of America his precious opportunity at self-expression, and many, no doubt, will go to the extreme, but tolerance must ever be the watchword or a catastrophe may follow the awakening.

OUR WOMEN and WHAT THEY THINK-Edited by Mrs. Amy Jacques Garvey RESPECT AND PROTECTION OF OUR WOMEN A VITAL QUESTION THE discussion of the vital subject of our womanhood and sexology, by the enlargement of the discussion by the speakers at Liberty Hall during the past week, was among the most important that can come before the Fourth International Convention of the Negro Peoples of the World. In a large way the question is the pivot upon which revolves the destiny of the race, as respect and protection of womanhood and childhood constitute almost wholly the elements which make for a strong mental and physical race or a weak and decadent race. This aspect of the matter is better understood and dealt with in a more scientific way than merely, but the whole subject is one of instant concern all of the time. Vigilance in dealing with it cannot be relaxed at any time. The white races have carried the question of respect for womanhood so far that they are coming in the English speaking countries to the ridiculous point where they, under certain conditions, get offended and want to create "rough house" if a black or yellow or brown person looks at a white woman. In New York and London, of late, the police have been busy interfering with dance hall people of mixed races, whose morality is never considered of the best. The extent to which the police can lawfully go in dealing with low people of the mixed company sort is preserve order among them and to arrest those who disturb the peace. We are emphasizing this aspect of the matter because New York and London newspapers have been giving it prominence, and because white sailors and travelers in every port in the West Indies, in Japan, and the Far East generally, and in Africa, mix it with the native women in the same sort of places of gathering and are not disturbed except when there is disorder. This has been true, ever since men began to sail the seas, and it will continue to be true to the end; unless the whites set up the color bar in their ports, which the black, brown and yellow people will be quick to set up in their ports. We think such mixing immoral and bad on principle, but it is no worse in white ports than it is in black and off-color ports, and if the police in white ports are to outlaw it the police in black and off-color ports should do it. The question, however, has a higher significance and, a more intimate insistence, not only in the Southern States of the United States, but in the West Indies and Africa, where the white administrators, backed by white public opinion, insist that black people should respect their women while they refuse to respect ours. Tliey proceed on the dangerous principle that black women have no virtue to be protected and respected and that the best way to give it to them is to degrade them as much as they possibly can, by clandestine association and by class legislation, of the most immoral character. We have got to labor in season and out of season to change this conditions of affairs. The life of the race depends upon our so doing. And that brings us to the treatment that we ourselves accord our women. Do we show them the respect and give them the protection we should? That is a delicate question, but we have got to face it squarely, because the whites make their estimate and accord their treatment of black women very largely upon the estimate and treatment we ourselves determine. With many of us there is entirely too much of the free and easy way with our women which breeds familiarity and gradually degenerates into vulgarism. We make a big display of all this in public places and thoroughfares and in public conveyances, and the whites, who are close observers of us, make a note of it, and judge us by our words and acts in our association with each other. We may not think that we are being observed, but we are, and very closely, and all of the time. If we want others to respect our women we have got to show them the way by doing it ourselves: if we want others to protect our women we have got to set them an example by doing it ourselves. That is the long and short of it. Do we show them the respect and give them the protection we should? Let each of us answer the question for himself, after inspecting his own conduct and that of his neighbors in his home town or city or way out yonder in the country districts. It is a living question and we can't afford to ignore it. E. THOMAS F. OUR LETTER BOX Let Us Hold Our Own In World Affairs To the Editor of the Women's Page. The Negro fortar one of the most important cogs in the wheel of world mechanism; without him the machine stops and can go no further. We should, therefore, realize our position in the affairs of men, and stand out as a race independently, realizing that the world cannot right itself without our contribution of progress and achievement. Let every Negro make up his and her mind to dedicate their lives to African redemption and Negro nationalism. Let us go to Liberia determined to hold up the hands of those loyal sons of Ham who have kept her gates closed to alien domination all these years. May the governmental heads of this little Republic fully realize the importance of their position in their dealings with the destiny of the scattered sons and daughters of Ethiopia.

EISENAUTH, Germany, July 23 (Associated Press, Correspondence).—The Amalgamated Women's Clubs of Germany have received that Germany was not to blame for the beginning of the war in 1911 and held a special meeting to devise ways and means of scientifically assembling material designed to prove their contentions to the world. The meeting, attended by women from all parts of the republic, was held in the castle of Wartburg, where Martin Luther fought the devil while he was passing ten months under the friendly arrest of the Elector of Saxony. Frau Clara Mende, president of the organization, in her opening address asserted that the club women had made arrangements to give wide publicity to documents which tended to show that a secret understanding existed prior to 1914 between the Russian Czar and other nations and with which Germany had no connection whatever. It was due largely to these secret agreements, she contended, that the war was brought about. The onus of starting the war had been put on Germany by the world at large, declared Frau Mende, but the life work of the associated clubs would be to prove otherwise.

WEEKLY TEXT Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the spirit of God dwelleth in you?—Corin. 3. zvti. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, AUGUST 23, 1924 LABY DELEGATE IN CONVENTION DEMANDS SINGLE STANBARD FOR ALL OMAN JUDGE HITS OVERCROWDING IN THE NEW YORK HOMES Youths Find Refuge in Dance Halls and Movies I sounds trite to say that New York city is the Mecca of the United States, yet the myriads of girls and women who flock here every year from the small towns and villages, all imbued with the idea of accomplishing great things and having a glorious time in the big city, proves the truth of the oft-quoted saying. Pew of these young people win success. The majority never get beginnered mediocrity, and the pity of it is that dozens, yes, hundreds, drop completely out of sight and are neverard of again so far as their immediate families are concerned. Only those of us in the courts or the Police Department know the reason for the long continued silence and the curse of home ties. Most of the girls come from respectable homes, but many who succumb quickly and tragically to the allure of the so-called "easiest way," can attribute their departure from the path of rectitude to misdirected kindness on the part of mother and father when they were children. This seems like a terrible indictment, but the history of many a court case shows that the daughter was permitted to have her own way when a child. She was not taught self-control nor reverence for sacred things nor respect for the authority of the parents in the home of the teacher in the school. The Spirit of "Do as I Please" The consequence of this failure to know and to practice the fundamentals of right living was an entire lack of restraint when away from the parental roof and a spirit of "do as I please" which eventuated in trouble and disaster. The writer is firmly convinced that the average girl starts out to earn her livelihood with high hopes and aspirations, but, unfortunately, with inadequate training for the practical business world in which she finds herself with too little knowledge of the pitfalls that beset the path of youth, the result is that the stores, the offices and the factories are crowded with poorly trained employees, many of whom waste time and energy wondering why the next higher job goes to some one else. Lack of Privacy in Home It does not seem to occur to them that their own failure to "make good" is largely responsible for remaining in a rut. If instead of placing the blame for their shortcomings on the person in charge and attributing success in others to favoritism, they would put some of their excess energy into becoming more efficient and less in having a so-called "polly good time" then the better positions and the higher remuneration would be theirs. Of course, the small hill bedroom, which the girl can afford to hire, or the cramped living quarters of the average home, do not offer much instruction. Many sensitive, high-string girls in our city today are suffering from lack of privacy in their homes. Rent is so prohibitive that the family has to take in the inevitable boarders, and if that person happens to be a man a risk is run in so far as the children are concerned. Innumerable court records prove this statement. Proper Repose Vital While privacy is not a tangible thing, yet the lack of it is one of the big factors in bringing about a loose standard of morals. Every human being who works all day in a crowded store, a factory or even an office needs a little time for repose, whether the time is occupied in reading the daily paper or in profound study or thought. Babies who are never left alone for a moment and who live in noisy places soon become fretful and irritable and finally ill, even though most of their time is spent in sleep. If this is a fact so far as infants are concerned, how much more is it true of highly organized, sensitive girls who work all day in the midst of noise and bustle, who ride home in the crowded subways and who are greeted at home only too often by fault-finding. The accommodations in the average home are so limited that the boy and girl acquaintance cannot be invited to call and the consequence is the public dance halls and the moving picture places afford the place of meeting and recreation. They are young and must have relaxation, but, unfortunately, the joys and pleasures are not well directed. It would be unnatural to expect these growing girls to come home, after a hard day's work and be content to spend every evening reading, studying or helping with the family mending. But many Old World mothers do expect their daughters to follow this sort of program, though it never occurs to them to prevent the boys of the family from seeking outside pleasures. BY HANNAH NICHOLS In discussing the education of the Negro to a higher social order, I have heard a great deal said about the education of the child in the home and school. Regarding the obedience of children, and the purity of women, much has also been said, but I think we should go a step further and demand also that Negro men should practice self-control and purity of words and deeds. This would give the child a fair chance before its birth, and influence its future existence. Pure minds and clean bodies will help the race perpetuate itself and gain prestige rapidly. Boys should be taught to respect their sisters, and the women in their homes; in this way they are better fitted to contact with other women when they go out into the world. Teach them that they are expected to bring to their wives—the mothers of their children—the same purity and chastity they demand of the women. In this way they will bring to the race a better social status. Negro women look forward to their men for protection, and will respect and honor them if they live up to the right standard of living. POLITICAL STATUS OF WOMEN UNDER SOVIET REGIME One of the great principles of the Soviet Revolution was that of complete equality of rights for women and men. Politically, this has been realized to the full. Legally, women (married or unmarried) are in exactly the same position as men. There is no sex discrimination whatever. Women are eligible for all government posts. Of course this does not mean women are taking an equal part in the work of government. Women are eligible, but they have tremendous handicaps to overcome—tradition, custom and, above all, illiteracy. The proportion of women taking part in elections to the lower Soviet organs, such as the county and village Soviets, is on the average about 14 per cent of the total electors voting. In the case of provincial Soviets, this proportion is only about 5.5 per cent. In the elections for All-Russian Soviet Congress, the proportion of women voting was only 2.9 per cent. Women have not yet learned to use these political rights. The government is anxious to attract proletarian and peasant women to take a more active part than ever in Soviet institutions. With this object in view, the Union Central Executive Committee recently issued a circular in which, after noting with satisfaction the increase in the number of women elected during 1923 to government organs in the Ukraine, Siberia and other parts of the union, and the more active part taken by women in the work of these organs, it urges the Central Executive Committee of all the republics in the union to instruct their district and provincial executive committees to give every possible opportunity to their women members to carry out or to participate in the practical work of the Soviets. Decree Governs Marriage A decree has been issued for the Orat Autonomous Area making it a criminal offense to steal a woman in for the purpose of marrying her, or for parents or guardians to force any woman to marry against her will. Marriage with a woman below the age of maturity, polygamy and payment of kalm are also made criminal offences. On the annulment of a marriage, a wife is to have the right to her own property, in addition to a certain proportion of the property that may have been acquired during the marriage. Women in Trade Unions The trade unions of the U. S. S. A. have generally been very successful in attracting women members. But the same conditions which have shattered the participation of women in the work of government have naturally affected their participation in the active work of the trade unions. Since 1921, at every delegate meeting or conference of peasant or proletarian women, lectures have been formed for the systematic study of the co-operative movement and of all questions concerning co-operation, and its significance in socialist reconstruction. Many women are attending educational courses on co-operation. Peasant Journals for Women This legislation has borne fruit. The number of women who have joined the co-operative societies is considerable. Women take part in the administrative and control commissions, as well as in co-operative conferences. In the local administrative departments there are now more than 7,500 women workers and peasants. Throughout the provinces of the Union special women's conferences are held from time to time at which the range of subjects discussed varies from the most humdrum needs of the peasant to foreign policy and conditions in Germany. There are peasant journals, edited and written by peasant women. Many peasant women are well known as splendid organizers. FACE BEAUTIFIER SOCIETY FACE BEAUTIFIER Full Strength IT IS EASY TO APPLY.

The Progress of Women Suffrage in Turkey The broad issues of reform in family life are absorbing so much of the time and energy of Turkish women that the question of equal suffrage is of minor importance. Events are moving so swiftly, however, that the power to vote is likely to come as unexpectedly a. the abolition of the Caliphate. Permission to organize a political party for women was recently asked, but refused. Later women Deputies will no doubt, be elected to the National Assembly, because the law does not stipulate the sex of the representative. The fact that some of the women patriots have already received votes shows that the hour of their entry into politics is approaching. Women own or control a good share of the property in Turkey. They retain possession of their property after marriage, a right which is denied women in many other countries proud of their generous attitude toward women — Beatrice H. Ogilvie in "Current History." Pure Ethnic Faiths Compare Favorably With Christianity At Its Best With regard to the development of Christlike attitudes and purposes in adherents to non-Christian faiths, and to the evangelizing of religious systems through a progressive slouching off of the impure and the superstitious, two views may be taken. Some will urge concentrating on winning converts to Jesus Christ, because we shall fall in individual cases, and these partially evangelized searchers after truth will affect their own religions. From this angle a change for the better in a non-Christian religion is merely a by-product of work for individuals.

And the holders of both views should not forget that it is only Christianity at its best—a Christianity that has freed itself from invalid accretions, conflicting dogmas and a mind that wars against science—that can compete with the best in reformed and purified ethnic faiths—Dr. Fleming in "Literary Digest." The authorities at Columbia University recently stopped the circulation of Miss Ethel Goldsmith's "sex" questionnaire, confiscated 200 copies, all she had distributed, and referred to the incident as a "regretable mistake." Miss Goldsmith, who is preparing for a degree as Doctor of Philosophy, let it be known that she is "disgusted" and is going to use the questionnaire some time. If she has to wait ten years. She is a graduate of the University of Cincinnati and says she's a "psychologist" at the Cincinnati Juvenile Court Hospital for five years. Dr. Albert T. Poffenberger, assistant professor of psychology, expressed the belief that Miss Goldsmith's idea of sending 111 personal and rather important questions to the other students at the summer school was a sincere effort to test the veracity of the average young person, but premature publicity killed it, and she would have to seek another subject for her thesis. Title "Mrs." Formerly Given to All Women In the days when it was customary to bestow the title "Mrs." on all women of mature years, whether married or unmarried, deprivation of the prefixes Mr. and Mrs. was among the punishments enforced in the American colonies, says the Detroit "News." The records of Massachusetts show that in 1680 James Plaisitowe was condemned "for stealing four baskets of corn from the Indians, to return them eight baskets again, to be fined five pounds, and hereafter to be called Josias, not Mr. as he used to be." Though the penal code also provided for depriving women of the prefix, there is no record of this clause having been enforced.

MARCUS Après une étude systématique de la situation Négre, situation dans laquelle nous vivons, et surtout de la période qui a suivie la grande guerre mondiale. Nous avons trouvé comme résultat de nos recherches, une réaction industrielle et économique, non seulement aux États-Unis, mais partout dans le Monde Occidental; une réaction essentiellement anti-Négre. Il est de notre devoir de préparer l'esprit du peuple pour les changements que nous envisagons pour le bonheur de la Race. Conformement à ce devoir, nous amonçons à la Race en general que l'An 1924 verra la consolidation de nos efforts parmi notre peuple pour le développement et la redemption de nos pays-Àlfrigue. Tout homme pensant compreendra sans peine que l'Afrique est l'attraction du monde entier. Ses ressources minérales et agricoles sont exploitées par les Races agressives et les nations colonisatrices du monde. Cest pouretter raison que l'Europe- la France, Italie, le Portugal et la Belgique—sefforce chacun, à consolider son contrôle, et à s'entendre davantage. Lesprit aventurier de l'Europe pousse son peuple vers l'Afrique. Cest cette entrée précipitée en Afrique qui effraie l'Association Universelle pour l'Avancement de la Race Negre au point que nous conseillons à notre peuple de converger toutes ses forces et ses sentiments épars vers l'Afrique et sa redemption. Si, comme Race, nous ne convergeons pas nos forces sur un point déterminé, c.a.d. la redemption de l'Afrique pas nos forces de ses vastes ressources, ce meine continent, dans une période de vingt-cinq ans devientra un champ lucratif pour les européens, et où, avec autant de difficulté, le Négre trouvera à peine une penible existance, comme du reste, il le fait actuellement en Amérique et en Europe. En vue d'une ancioration de cet état de choses nous avons jugé utile de combiner un plan de salut pour la Race dans le monde occidental savoir, la colonisation de Liberia et d'autres portions de l'Afrique Occidentale, au point de vue industriel et comme lieu de residence où les Négres du Nouveau Monde pourraient s'établir et batir en fin de compte une résidence permanente où la Race aurait en l'occasion de se développer à tous les points de vue. Ayant en vue une destinie aussi utile et glorieuse pour la race, la Universal Negro Improvement Association organisa de suite ses expéditions africaines, et dans les douze derniers mois nous avons deploye toute notre énergie pour la bonne réussite de nos plans. Pour la mise en œuvre de cette proposition d'une façon pratique, plusieurs missions ont été envoyées en Afrique; la première en 1920, deux expéditions en 1921, et la troisième en 1923, avec un dépense de $40,000. Ces expéditions avaient pour but determiner d'obtenir certaine-concessions valables dont l'Association pourrait so-servir pour la mise en œuvre de son programme industriel en Afrique. Les dites concessions ont été arranges d'une manière satisfaisante, et l'Association pouvait, de plein droit, mettre en execution ses projets industriels et économiques. La mise en œuvre de cette grande enterprise a occasionné une dépense enorme, alors survint les anti-progressists de ce pays, conjointement avec d'autres Négres de leur espèce. De suite a commencé l'Oeuvre de la propagande destructrice. Tout recément l'Association est chargée de la besogue d'assister dans le développement industriel de Liberia, ce pays devant, servir de patrie à ceux qui n'approuvent pas la situation économique et industrielle du Négre la où ils se trouvent, et à cette fin nous avons travaillés sans rémission. En vertu de L'entente ci-dessus signalée, nous étions en droit de faire ce que nous avons fait; nos ingénieurs sont partis pour Liberia et plusieurs consignations de matériaux s'élevant à la somme de $30.00 ont été envoyées à la même destination. Ce même groupe de miserables ont fait tout ce qui a été humainement possible pour empêcher la marche en avant de notre progrès; de plus, ils se sont servis de leur infiltration pour mettre contre nous les gouvernements anglais français, et même celui de Liberia, et comme resultat, ils ont creé pour l'Association une situation très equivocal. Ces dits hommes ont été pendant plusieurs décades les leaders du peuple, mais sans profit aucun pour la Race. Cependant, les dits leaders sont enrichis aux dépens de la collectivité, et maintenant que l'Association a pris de certaines mesures pour assurer le bonheur de la Race, cette bande de nécontents font l'impossible pour dejeuner les projets legitimes que nous avons formulés pour le bien-être général. L'essor du Dahomey Le mouvement commercial du Dahomey pendant l'année 1923 accuse un total de 118,838,848 francs et la compaison avec le chiffre de la période correspondante de 1922 fait ressortir une plus-value de 34 millions 145,927 francs qui se repartit à la fois sur les importations (19 millions 832,680 francs) et sur les exportations (14,313,247 francs). Cette forte augmentation ne résultat pas seulement de la hausse des prises mais elle est également due à la accroissement du tonage aussi Bien à l'entre qui à la sortie.

MARCUS GARVEY. dont la forte avance en tonnage l'année précédente s'est encore accentuée en 1923. A l'exportation, le progres réalisé à la valeur s'étend également aux quantities exportés des principaux produits, savoir : le mais, les amandes et les huiles de palme, le coprah, les graines de ricin; le coton, la laine, les volailles dont l'élevage se fait en grand dans la région de Porto-Novo. En ce qui concerne la navigation, l'avance enregistrée en l'année précédente, s'accentue encore; le nombre des navires, qui était de 555 en 1922, passe à 635 en 1923, soit une augmentation de pres de 100% sur le tonnage de barge. A l'entrée, la France conserve le premier rang tandis qu'à la sortie, la part de l'Angleterre augmente dans de notables proportions par suite de la hausse constante du cours de la livre qui incite le commerce local d'diriger ses produits sur le marché britannique. Comment la Presse Haitienne est signalée aux Etats-Unis En plusieurs occasions, des personnes venant des Etats-Unis, nous parlent d'une façon assez bizarre des événements haitiens rapportés par la presse haitiienne. Il semble qu'existe un triquage dans les rapports sur les nouvelles publiées par les quotidiens haitiiens. Nous ne savons pas qui fait ce jeu déloyal, mais il existe. On extract les passages qui on veut dans les articles, on prend des informations qui plaisent, on met à la charge du journal des declarations ou interview de personages dont les noms figurent en toutes les illegalités incognitionnelles qui se praticient. Il arrive qu'aux Etats-Unis, dans les cercles officiels aussi bien que chez les particuliers, il existe une opinion absolument fausse sur la situation haitiienne. On croit d'abord que tout se passe dans l'ordre et la regularité, c'est faux. On croit que la people haitiien est satisfait avec la Cooperation est faux, c'est jamais l'impularité des officiels américains n'a été aussi grande. Les bureaux des officiels américains ne font aucun cas de Population publique, ils manipulent de formidables sommes du Tresor haitiien, et les journaux ont beau demander des renseignements, appeler leur attention sur des irregularités, illegalités, cela ne compte que aucune response n'est donnée, aucune explication n'est faite; il y a la Force Americane. Mr. Cumberland aurait dit à un de ses amis, que les haitiens fou beaucoup de bruit un moment et acceptent tout après. Que voulez-vous qu'ils fassent d'autre, cher Mr. Cumberland, ils ne peuvent pas sortir dans les rues. Les journaux vous mettent les yeux les irrégularités, les illégalités, les inconsistualités, vous dneignez-mme pas donner les explications requises: vous avez la Force, et l'Opinion publique ne compete pas pour vous Mais les Chancelleries Erangerenotent, elles nous demandent des explications sur nos informations et nous leur fournis-sons toutes les preuves. Les officiels américain ont beau mépriser l'Opinion Publique et garder la silence sur les affaires du peuple haitien qu'ils dirigent, il arrivera un jour à le Département d'Etat sentira la nécessite de connaître la verite, et la nécessite de dire la verite, car un grand peuple aussi démocratique que celui des Etats-Unis ne pourra necettre constamment que ce soit par la Force et par le Silence qu'on dirige le affaires d'un peuple ami. AU MAROC L'affaire de Sidi-Messaud (Le Temps) Quand de Temps On a maintenant des renseignements précis sur Laffaine de Sidi Messand. Cest le 28 avril que le Rifains comprenent les communications entre cette position avancée celle de Eatha, situe au nord de deux kilomètres, d'une part, et le comprenent de Dag Kendani, une dizaine de kilomètres, à l'outre part. Les Espagnols se sont battus du 28 avril au 10 mai pour dégager et revitaliser Sidi Messand. Une phrase du bant commissionne général Azizpur donne idée de l'quiche qui regne à Melilia: "Si c'est nécessaire, dit il, jengagera tout l'année espagnol". L'affaire de Sidi-Messand n'est qu'une répétition des tentatives d'enveloppement d'une position avancée et de désarticulation du front espagnol que les Rifains ont déjà effacées à Iguere仁, à Tifarouan et à Tizzi-Aza La tentative reissit à Iguere仁 et provoque la débâcle de 1921. Elle vient d'échouer à Sidi-Messand au prix de gros efforts et de lourdes pertes. D'après des informations de source rifaine, les troupes d'Abel e Krim aurait capturé trois canons de gros calibre, vingt mitrailleen- 600 fusils, 40 mulets et 450 prisoni- niers. M. Hughes et les Soviets MOSCOU. 13 août ... Dans un article special, intitulé "La groupe artillerie contre la Federation des Soviets", les "Ilyestia" accusement M. Hughes, secrétaire d'Etat, d'essayer d'organiser une coalition contre la Russie des Soviets. Traitant M. Hughes de "manaque incapable de parler avec sang-froid de la Russie", le journal disque que "le but primordial de la politique actuelle de M. Hughes est la lutte contre le bolchevisme, et il ne reculera devant rien pour atteindre son but." Le journal ajoute que la presse étrangère est d'accord pour dire que le leut veritable de la visite de l'homme d'Etat, américain en Europe, était d'empecher l'établissement de relations plus cordiales entre la Russie des Soviets et les autres pays. On cite à ce sujet plusieur-dimarches fauses pour dans ce sens en Angleterre, en France et en Allemagne. LES NEGOCIATIONS SONT PENIBLES A LONDRES Apres deux longues séances les déliegués ne peuvent s'entendre sur l'évacuation militaire de la Ruhr—Plusieurs personnages politiques francais viennent conférer avec M. Herriot (Le Courrier des Etats-Unis.) LONDRES, 13 août.—Une entrevue des ministres français, belges et allemands a eu lieu ce marin, de 10 h. 30 à 13 h. 30. Il y fut discute l'évacuation militaire de la Ruhr, la question des cheminots français et belges, les manquements aux livraisons en nature, la liste des produits livres et la reintegration des fonctionnaires. Les ministres français, belges et allemands se sont réunis à diséptheures. Les Allemands demandent l'évacuation militaire de la Ruhr aussitôt la mise en application du plan Dawes; les Français et les Belges maintiennent leurs vues que les troupes soient retirées un an après la mise en vigour du plan Dawes, si dans l'intervalle l'Allemagne a exécute les obligations des réparations. Le chancelier Marx doit donner une réponse dengame main; il consultera le cabinet de Berlin dans l'intervalle. On croit que le Reich accepterait finalement les conditions franco-belges. Après deux conférences qui ont duré cinq heures, les délégués français et allemands à la conference internationale n'avient ençorp pu trancher la question du temps allonge pour l'evacuation militaire de la Ruhr. H il faut donc decide que M. Herrion, le chancelier M. Lars, M. Themis et le enseur associé se reniraient de nouveau à 9 heures de main matin afin de faire une nouvelle tentative pour arriver à un accord. M. Louis Loucheur et plusieurs chefs politiques français sont à Londres en conference avec M. Herrion et la délegation allemande croit que ce sont en eux qui possèrent M. Herrion ne pas ceder, ce dernier emblâment encore plus ferme qui renouvre de Paris lundi, dans sa decision qui nous une amère doit accéder pour l'evacuation. An cours des conferences avant en bien ajouté d'homme. Les français et les Belges ont code en ce qu'on concue le maintien de leurs nationales sur les chemins de leur allemand. Des accords ont également été obtenus au sujet de la question de Renaissance et autre "que nous demande importance. A la conclusion de la conference cette après-midi, M. Hervet a déléré: "Nous sommes un milieu de negociations où nous pouvons n'emplager et qu'en contenu demain." Le Alloumand ne peut pas aussi calme dans son équation au sujet des negociations, il contame des affaires, changage, les conglèments comme ce que dans une situation ci-tienne. M. Ma. Donald, premier ministre britannique et acteur personage-impossitifs de la conference se tenait près à préter le concours aux trois nations en negotiations, en photot aux deux pensions en élitige, car la Belgique ne prend vraiment pas part à la controverse. Les Americans ont également laisse entendir qu'ils prétient à donner leur aide au carot à les pensions intéressées délivrant une intervention quelsune. Quoique les Français et les Allemands ajent declare que le trenu du traite commercial projet n'aient pas été discuté, neammoins on crient que les Français resent inhabrublables en ce qui concerne leurs revendications de garanties de traitement liberal. On crédit que toute concession que pourrait faire la France en ce qui concerne la reduction de la portée d'exécution de la Ruhr, serait en échange d'assurances que les prodruits absacions continueraient à être admis en Allemange sans drills d'entrée. --- Le commerce égyptien Le gouvernement du Caire vient de publier les derniers chiffres concernant le nouvellement du commerce extérieur egyptien. D'après ces statistiques, pour les premiers mois de 1924, les importations ont attenu 11,710,648 livres egyptiennes en augmentation de 735,069 livres sur la période correspondante, de 1923. En ce qui concerne les exportations celles-ci ont été de 19,003,596 livres egyptiennes, chiffre qui représente une augmentation de 1,826,286 livres sur 1927 Nous souhaitons la bienvenue au Prince Kojo Tovalou et au Professeur Röland Hayes qui wiennent d'arriver à New York samedi dernier 16 août à bord du "Paris." Nous espérons qu'ils resteront longtemps parmi nous et qu'ils feront un agréable séjour aux Etats-Unis.—Editeur. On va reboiser le Liban Le général Weygand, haut-com- missaire de la République en Syrie et au Libain, a preside récemment, à Safar (Grand Liban), la fête de L'Arbre, en présence d'une foule de notabilités et avec un grand concours de délegations venues de tous les côtes du Liban. Le général, après avoir planté un cedre a montré, dans une brève allocation, la nécessité du reboisement du Liban. Il a termine en assurant que le gouvernement français continuera ses efforts pour achever Loeuvre entreprise. LES TROUBLES AU ALEXANDRIE. 13 août. — Le communicant officiel d'aujourd'hui, concernant l'affaire d'Athara, aonnée que les hommes du bataillon egyptien des chemins de fer, ont commis des sabotages considerables, detrainant des automobiles et des machines à compris de barres de fer, et mettant le teu aux bureau.

Etam donne les troubles au Soulan, Famirante a donné l'ordre en anirrase "Marflorough" de quitter Zara, en Dalmatie, pour Alexandrie, le croisement leger "Yevmoufl", en route pour Colon, a reçu l'ordre de se rendre à Port Sudan, où il est arrive bier et le sleep "Iematis" est parti pour la même destination. Une agence d'information du Caire announce aujourd'hui que la presse locale, le gouvernement egyptien amait puis la decision de tense rencontrer en Egypte le bataillon qui a cause des desordres à Atbara LONDRES, 13 août. La presse boudonneme donne une large place de matières, des objets qui se sont proizus au Soudan, et qu'elle attribue à une compilation monte par des Égyptiens dans le but de chasser les Anglais du Soudan pour etablir un gouvernement egyptien. Un mouvement se penchant dans ce seigneur, pluies moi, et les organisateurs, en enement, portait la White Eagle Society" an Outee. Ou rappelle que Zagbul pacha, premier ministre egyptien, déclara à la Chambre, en ejun dernier, que l'Egypte insisterait sur l' evacuation complete du Soudan par l'Anglètre, et les ministres britanniques anonmentent au Parlement que l'Anglètre ne renoncerait au aucun cay, ses responsabilités vis-à-vis du Soudan et des Soudains. actuels n'aient pas necessairement des consequences graves, on prévientependant un retard regrettable dans le règlement du problème égyptien et peut-être ne la suspension des negotiations avec Zagoul pacha. La presse donne sa pleine adhesion à la politique soudaiseuse du gouvernement. Le "Tumes" declare que "Admettre les prêtentions égyptiennes au Soudan, ou abandoner, le Soudan aux Soudannes, constituerait une foele impardonnable et une véritable injouité." D'après les dernières depéches de Kartoum et du Caire, il y aurait en 4 tues et 15 blessés à Atbara; elles ajoutent qu'il n'y avait pas de troupies égyptiennes sur les lieux, lors des troubles, et que ce sont des Arabes Soudanais qui tirerent, apparentment sans avoir recu d'ordre, et sans la provocation des rebelles. On annonce que des troupies britanniques et des aéroplanes ont quitté le Caire hier pour aller enforcer la garnison de Kartoum. LE CAIRE, 13 août.—Une manifestation en faveur des fauteurs de desordres d'Atbara, a eu lieu cet après-midi dans les jardins d'Ezhekive. Le calme regne actuellement au Soudan.

N. I. A. Negro Must So a Radical! But those Negroes who do not know anything about diplomacy or the handling of the world's problems tried to embarrass us. They talk abut Garvey being radical. How can a Negro be conservative? What has he to conserve? What have you to pain, suffering and hardship? It is time for the Negro to be radical and let the world know what he wants. It if takes a 'radical' to tell that, then you cannot help being one. All that England is doing. To show you how Negroes are foolish and how the white man is different from our people, the Negroes said before I went to, the West Indies in 1921 that the English would arrest me when I reached Jamaica and do all kinds of things to me. But when I left here the most courteous people I had to deal with were the British. When I went to get my passport the official greeted me with. "Oh, Mr. Garvey, what can we do for you? Can we do anything to help your people?" They gave me the passport. Then those Negroes said the British would send a battleship down to stop Mr. Garvey landing. After I left Cuba who was the first man to meet me at the pier but the Inspector-General of Police, who said he was glad to see me and that he had been detailed to see that nothing occurred. I never had any trouble with the British Government while I reminded there.

WHEN ECONOMY AND EFFICIENCY IS REQUIRED C. LEON ESTWICK & BRO. UNDERTAKERS and EMBALMERS 108 WEST 120TH STREET, NEW YORK CITY BROADWAY, 12TH AVE. OF NEW YORK An Exclusive Order The trouble started when I was about to come back when those bad Negroes went to Washington and asked the Government to prevent my return. The Government issued instructions to every American consular agent along the Atlantic seaboard not to issue any visas for me. That was the time those devils were trying to get money from the Black Star Line. I had not left 24 hours before they took $25,000 from the treasury and ruined the Black Star Line. Owing to their efforts in trying to prevent my return it took me nearly five months instead of thirty days, as was planned. So don't mind what is being said. Hold steadfast to the program. There are, many ways to kill a dog without putting a rope around his neck. How It Worked The great American Government said I was not to be admitted here. But, by the exercise of a little patience, and as soon as we get things, we will get results. I got my passports visas and I went to New Orleans instead of New, York, because the Negroes were waiting there. I had to use a little stroke. When I reached the Mississippi breakwater the immigration officers were waiting for me. They had received instructions not to let Garvey in, as it would not have a passport. When the passengers were lined up and the man was coockie that I had no passport. He told me "wait a while," and he sent to Call another man, saying "Garvey is here." The other man asked what I had there, and I showed him my passport. He was so surprised he said: "Good God, look at this." He turned red all of a sudden, in the face. He said, "We cannot understand this." They thought they had the man, but I had them. To make some of me they said, "Do not go, you have to wait on the quarantine ground for inspection." I understood the situation and saw they intended to work something new. The man at the quarantine station called me to the The difficulty encountered by the medieval forces for the giants, with their new design in simp- ple form, is to find a way to resist them. office and asked my business, etc., and I saw they were trying to get time to communicate with certain people here to see if they could not cancel my visa. I asked the situation, so I said: "I want you to send this telegram to the President," I said it loud enough for the man to hear. I wrote the telegram and the man took it to the office of the other men. Then I said: "I want you to send this telephone message to Secretary Hughes." That man turned red, and two minutes after he said: "All right, Mr. Garvey, you may go." They were trying to work up sentiment to block me, and I understood the situation, so I scared those fellows and they let me go. The Last Indictment I have recited all this to show you the methods the enemy resorted to. They did not success. Then they got me indicted. They timed it just before the convention. Why. In regard to the last indictment, I knew two weeks before it happened that the indictment would be made on that day. Well, we have to grapple with the situation. All we want is the honesty and devotion of the people we are sending to take charge of the groups that we have. If we can do that we would be able to marshal all our forces under the red, black and green; then we will be sure of success. We have to legislate graft and greed and dishonesty out of our hearts and systems, because the men who have tried it have found that dishonesty has taken them nowhere. Dishonesty cannot lead us anywhere, and if we do not adopt the program of honesty for ourselves we are doomed. The African Program I will now touch on the African program. As you know, we sent several commissions out to Africa. The first went in 1920. We sent two in 1921. Two in 1922, and the last one we sent under the direction of Sir Robert Lincoln Poston in 1923. The previous commission of 1921 had gone so far as to have received certain concessions for the association from the Liberian Government. The government had chartered in the Republic of Liberia, the U. N. I. A. and A. C. L. Owing to the sebacks we had in the latter part of 1921, we were unable to carry out our Liberian program. Because of the failure of the Black Star Line there was a tremendous financial reaction, and we were unable to develop and take advantage of the concessions that we had been offered. We laid the matter in abeyance until last year, when we sent out Sir Robert Poston, Lady Henrietta Davis and Hon. M. Van Lowe to discuss the taking up of the old concessions and the carrying out of the new program for the development of Liberia. They came back and gave us their report, which was most favorable. I do not know whether Mr. Van Lowe would like to discuss the matter or whether he would like to have it discussed when Lady Davis is here. I want to have them report to you the arrangements that were made in Liberia for the carrying out of the colonization plan. 'Lady Davis is expected here between now and the 20th from British Honduras, where she is on a tour on behalf of the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company. I think it wise to allow them to make their own report. They were on the spot handling the situation and made all the arrangements, and I think it is due to them to make their own report. We got the report and it caused us Nature's Way of Forcing the Hair to grow long, soft and healthy. A combination of dried and powdered seed.

THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, AUGUST 25. 1884 to start in real cannot to carry out our plains in Liberia for the colonization of that country. Everything had gone splendidly. Now, Mr. O'Mally is on his way, and we do not want to embarrass him. We sent him specially to find out the situation down there. It is a purely diplomatic matter and cannot be handled in the ordinary way. I do not want to say anything that will hurt our prospects and arrangements, but it is provoking in the milieu of all that is said on the outside to keep our mouths closed. Nevertheless, I feel that if we say anything now it might hurt our own cause, and whatsoever I say I have to be very careful and diplomatic, because there is much we can say and somebody is going to be hurt. It will not be the U. N. I. A. We have to be cautious, and I have to appeal to the patience of the convention until Lady Davies comes here, so that she and Mr. Van Lowe will make the report they made to us, and by that time, we expect to have a communication from Mr. O'Maly, so that we will be able to fully discuss the matter. Bound to Be Realized But whatever happens the realization of the program of the association is bound to occur. You need not be afraid to get yourselves in readiness to carry out the instructions. As far as we have gone we have done everything to carry out the arrangements. On June 24 last we sent a shipment to Liberia. On July 25 we sent another consignment. We have done everything to keep faith with you and the people and to carry out the African program. The most important matter is our ships. During the last-few months we had arranged to have a ship in readiness for carrying out our program in Africa and elsewhere. It was purely, as I said to the New York members, a question of money. We could have had the ship ready a month ago, not only one ship but several ships. But, unfortunately, because of the poverty of the members and other causes we have only been able to collect part of the money. During that time we have had lots of trouble to get a ship for the money we have. When I left here recently we had a contract drawn up only to be signed. Unfortunately, it seemed that agencies are still at work to embarrass us. If we had all the money in hand we could have bought the ship all right and end the matter. But because we have only part of the money they want to impose certain conditions which are not easy to live up to. I had hoped up to yesterday to be able to tell you go and see your ship. It is right here in the river. It is only a question of money. The fault is not ours. We cannot get other people's property unless you pay for it. And when they have to give concessions, as they do not like you, you have to be guarded, because every one wants to take advantage of you. You have to be careful as to the kind of contract you sign. Because we haven't the money we have to sign a contract and give terms which are very hard and difficult. Our dependence is on you, and the enemy knows that. That is why they carry on this propaganda to dissuade us. That is part of the scheme, but as I feel sure that God is with us we will get through. Give us a little time and we will be ready. I didn't want to ask you for money until you saw the ship. I wanted you to see the ship on Sunday. The ship we arranged for is one of the best ships afloat, and it would be a credit to the association. Nevertheless, we will carry out everything in detail. I think you for the patience you have exhibited, and I want you to realize that the program before us is one of legislation. We have an important period ahead of us, and we can do things in this convention that will help to bring about a quick relief in another twelve months. We will discuss that as part of the industrial program. On the question of the executive officers. We have been having a terrible time to carry things along. If we had the complete support of all the members, we would have no difficulty. It is purely a matter of money. You can hardly imagine how much money it takes to carry on an organization like this. It is not a joke. The thing that we are trying to do as big as any government. Yet we haven't the agencies at our hand to carry it on. It requires hundreds and thousands and millions of dollars to carry out successfully a proposition like this. About the Liberian situation. If we had money, you would at this moment be having everything you want in regard to Liberian development. You cannot blame, certain people for their actions, because Liberia is obligated to England and France. Liberia owes them one and a half million dollars. They must be careful how they act. If you owe me ten dollars, you have to be careful before you entertain my enemy, because I may take proceedings against you. This is but an idea to show you that these people who do not want us to carry out the program are going to embarrass the people with whom we are dealing. The only way we could have relieved the situation is if we had money. Unfortunately, everything we have to do we, have to tell you before we are able to get a dime. Getting Ships Now, take that ship proposition. There are some of you who do not believe we will get a ship, and so you will not put up a dime. Thus we cannot get the ship. A ship does not cost $100 or $3,000. We can get ships right now in the harbor with everything equipped. All that there is to be done is to put in coal and send the ships to sea. But for the keeping back of some of you, we would have had the money, to get that ship. I believe some of you would want to know the name of the ship and the parties with whom we are dealing, before you subscribe; but if we tell you, the enemy would get the information and in five minutes the deal would be off. We have been forced to tell you everything about Liberia and tell you what we intend to do, expecting our plan to the enemy simply because we are no difficult to get along with. And yet, I cannot blame our people. It is the fault of your kingdom. I have placed the situation before you and I trust you will have the reinsome. I have to tell you about the salary proposition. I advise you against that. I am telling you now, I cannot afford to work for other people. I have practically worked myself a nervous wreck to pay those big salaries for which they have sued. I am sick and tired of all that. I cannot have a comfortable night's rest in my bed. I have to be leaving New York and my family practically three weeks in every day. I think the time has come when every man should bear his own burden. I think it is wicked to have to pay salaries that people cannot earn. I think the time has come when every man should work and get results and when we come to the salary proposition we should put the officer in a position to earn it. We should adjust the salary proposition this year. Voluntarily, on the suggestion I made to them, we arranged a salary basis. I have a good executive body now; some are hypocrites, but the majority of them are sincere and willing to help me. Some of them say one thing and two minutes afterwards say something else outside. But I think the group of men we have are willing and reasonable enough to adjust themselves to the situation of the association as it is. Reduction of Salaries The basis we arrived at was that whereas the maximum was so much, each person would accept the minimum. Unfortunately, we have been unable to pay even the minimum for the whole year. I think that for the next two years we should make it the minimum and do not promise any more so that when they leave they will not be able to make trouble. When we voted those big salaries conditions were different, people were earning more money. So, when we come to the question of the U. N. I. A. I suggest we adjust the salary proposition to the ability of the association to meet them. SPANISH THRONE SAID TO BE IN DANGER The African Arabs Have Sapped the Vitality of Spain and Weakened It to Its Downfall From the New York "World" PARIS, Aug. 14.—Morocco will be to Alfonso what Sedon was to Napoleon III., writes Miguel de la Vamnino, who recently escaped from the island exile to which he was sent by the Spanish dictator, Rivera. King Alfonso, he declares, is disadvised as well as Rivera, and he asserts that a revolution in Spain is certain. The Spanish republicans are conducting an agitation from this city locked by radical newspapers. The sending of fresh troops to Morocco they report, is proving increasingly unpopular in Spain, and they assert the only chance the dictatorship has to save itself has in treating for peace with the Rifans. Echevarrié, the Baldacca shipowner who treated with Aled el Krim for the exchange of prisoners in 1672, is reported to have returned to Africa to see the Riff chieftain and negotiate for peace. MADRID Aug 11 (As reported Press) The military situation in Morocco again has come to the fore to such an extent as to release all other masters to the backcountry. The Cabinet met this morning to consider the problem. The situation may be described as follows. The Spanish troops in Morocco are called upon periodically to resist attacks by native tribesmen who several times have submitted to Spanish rule but at heart remain enemies of the Spanish because of the intention of the latter to remain on the soil the tribesmen consider as their. The tribes in the vicinity of Tetun in the western part of the Spanish Protectorate, have been made to submit to Spain through political action rather than by force of arms, but owing to agitation by discontented Riffons and their hated for Balsalt, the former bandit leader, they have taken up arms against Spanish authority and attacked isolated Spanish positions. The Madrid Government, seeking to provide for the safety of the troops, has been compelled to send reinforcements to relieve measured positions and also to occupy the entire region in order to prevent the tribesmen from gaining an upper hand in the situation.

Text: "But they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree; and no one shall make them afraid: for the mouth of the Lord of hosts hath spoken it." All promises are conditional. The fulfilling of each depends upon the ability of the contracting parties to live up to the things promised. Man very often is sincere in his declared intentions; but often falls because some one else from whom he has had a promise falls him. But God never falls us. We often fall him and, in this failure, prevent ourselves from receiving the things promised. Every real man wants possessions which he may point to and say with pride these are his. Every real man wants to know that he can look at his holdings and say these are mine. Like individuals, so groups are anxious to own and possess. Like groups, so rays are determined to assert their rights—own that which has been forcibly taken away—and sit entrenched in this wholesome environment when it is possessed. "And none shall make them afraid." When you are right and know it, there cannot be any intimidation from man. When you are right and determined, opposition only urges you to "sit the tighter" and forge ahead. When you ADAM'S MENTHOL, BALSAM COUGHDROPS NET WEIGHT 1 1/2 oz.

Truth is eternal. God is truth. We are heirs of God, and our heritage is secured. Work, pray and achieve. The future is in your hands. Under God and the rigid adherence to the principles of the U. N.

CROWDS IN HEAVY DOWNPOUR OF RAIN GAIN ADMISSION TO DOCK ARE CARRIED AWAY WITH ENTHUSIASM AT SIZE AND APPEARANCE OF FINE OCEAN LINER-TONNAGE OF 5,000 AND ACCOMMODATION FOR NEARLY TWO HUNDRED PASSENGERS Vessel Is Ready for Immediate Service and Will Start Trade Shortly Between America and West Indies—Expected to Take First Batch of Immigrants to Africa in November—Will Be Tremendous Factor in Linking Up Negroes of the World. COURAGE AND DETERMINATION OF MARCUS GARVEY IS SHOWN IN ACQUISITION OF SHIP—PUTS ONE OVER ON THE ENEMIES—WHAT WILL THEY SAY NOW AND DO NEXT? MUST WE LOOK OUT FOR DU BOIS IN THIS NEXT MOVE OF OBSTRUCTION? NEW YORK, Sunday, August 17. The time is 3 o'clock in the afternoon. Pier 65, North river (at West 24th street), is a scene of bustle and excitement. It is there that the steamer General G. W. Goethals (soon to be renamed the "Booker T. Washington") is lying at anchor. It is a huge vessel of 5,000 tons displacement and its massive bow pointing towards the shore, seemed to bow a welcome to the 5,000 persons (mostly Negroes with a sprinkling of whites), who had gathered there to inspect and christen it as the maiden ship of the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Co. to be operated by the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Crowds are milling about the dock; taxiicabs and automobiles are disembarking their passengers by the scores, while thousands of persons are footing it from the nearest trolley cars, subways and elevated trains, all hurrying and scurrying to either participate in the ceremonies or get a view of the ship purchased by Negroes belonging to the Universal Negro Improvement Association, who have pooled their moneys in order that the flag of the Red, the Black and the Green may float on the high seas along with the flags of other nations. The rain is pouring down, nevertheless they line up two and three sleep in orderly fashion awaiting their turn to pass through the narrow entrance leading to the dock, thence to the gangplank and then on board the ship. Among the crowd are persons from distant points, as many as 300 having journeyed from Philadelphia to take part in the ceremonies and to behold with their own eyes the mother ship of what is hoped to be in the near future a flourishing line of steamers. There is a band of music on board playing popular airs which together with flags and bunting strung along the masts of the ship, lend a festive touch to the occasion. AN INSPIRING SPECTACLE oiring spectacle and a large contingent the white daily newspapers are on havens of an event that will rank prehappenings in New York City when it is the part of a struggling race to gain maritime trade of the world in the owned, managed and operated by Nendid ship; we have seen it and areanimous expressions of those whoery nook and corner of the ship was from stem to stern, from the hold to unseed it as one of the greatest accoaled under the direction of the Association. It is an inspiring spectacle and a large contingent of reporters representing the white daily newspapers are on hand busily recording their observations of an event that will rank prominently among the important happenings in New York City when history is written—this effort on the part of a struggling race to gain recognition for itself in the maritime trade of the world in the conducting of a steamship line owned, managed and operated by Negroes. "She is a splendid ship; we have seen it and are satisfied," were some of the unanimous expressions of those who were able to get on board. Every nook and corner of the ship was invaded by the eager visitors; from stem to stern, from the hold to the bridge they went and pronounced it as one of the greatest accomplishments for the race, marshaled under the direction of the Universal Negro improvement Association. EXAMPLE OF COURAGE The acquisition of the "General G. W. Goethals" is but another example of the remarkable courage and dogged determination on the part of Hon. Marcus Garvey, President-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. He is the genius whose solution of the Negro problem is in making the race industrially and commercially strong, and by linking up through a line of steamships the Negro peoples of the world. Although criticized and maligned in the press and everywhere for the failure of the Black Star Line; although convicted and sent to prison on a charge (engineered and plotted by the enemies) of using the mails to defraud, in connection with the Black Star Line, he, nevertheless, set about to find ways and means whereby the plans of the Universal Negro Improvement Association may be carried out; and today's ceremony is the result. A ship flying the colors of the Red, the Black and the Green has actually been accomplished and in a few weeks will be on the high seas trading between the United States and the West Indies; later on engaging in commercial trade between America and Africa carrying cargo and passengers to and fro. Nor is it "an old abandoned bulk," as the ships of the Black Star Line were characterized, but a vessel built within the past few years and which is pronounced seaworthy and ready to be placed into immediate service. Hon. Marcus Garvey, when interviewed by the reporters, gave out the following statement for the press: STATEMENT "The Universal Negro Improvement Association is determined to do all in its power to assist in bringing about a solution of the Negro problem in the United States as well as elsewhere. We believe that the most feasible solution is the repatriation of the Negro to his original homeland, Africa. For that reason we are organizing the sentiment of the Negroes of America toward this end. Already we have seven million people, members of the race, who have actively identified themselves with our organization. Through these people we are now taking practical steps toward the race's repatriation. We believe that we must have ships and it is for that reason that we have secured the 'General Goethals.' We intend to have this ship sail during the fall with the first contingent of emigrants for Africa. As fast as we acquire capital we will invest in more ships until we have succeeded in establishing a regular route between America and Africa, conveying to the latter place those Negroes who THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, AUGUST 23, 1924 are desirous of repatriating themselves and removing from Africa back to America the raw materials of that wonderful continent." The more he fusses, the more we will have; the more he hounds, the more he hits the more we will stare for RECEPTION A reception was held in the first class dining saloon on board the ship at which were present the executive officers of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, many of the delegates to the convention now in session in Liberty Hall, and other distinguished visitors. Among those seen were: Hon. Marcus Garvey and Mrs. Garvey; Hon. G. O. Marke, supreme deputy and acting potentate; Hon. William Sherrill, second assistant president-general; Hon. Rudolph Smith, third assistant president-general, and Mrs. Smith; Hon. G. E. Carter, secretary-general; Hon. P. E. Buprows, first assistant-general; Hon. N. G. Thomas, second assistant secretary-general; Prince Kojo Tovalon-Honeou, president of the Universal League for the Defense of the Black Race in Paris, France; Rev. J. Van Richards, chaplain to the Senate of Liberia; Hon. J. Milton Van Lowe, Hon. Wilmer Robertson, minister of legions; and Miss Roberson, I. Newton Braithwaite, official reporter; Hon. Clifford Bourine, chancellor, and several of the ladies of the pageant royal court of Ethiopia. The following brief speeches were delivered: HON. SIR WILLIAM SHERRILL +- Hon. William Shewall said: "I feel sure at this moment that everybody feels just as I feel. Our hearts at this moment are happy and our souls are surrealized with gladness because we have arrived at the high point in the life of the association and of the Negroes of the world. This occasion marks the beginning of a new phase of activity in Negro life. We are now for the first time in the history of the Negro race launched out upon the high seas, or about to launch out in competition, with the commercial world or with the races of the world. We have no other hope than that our efforts will meet with the greatest success. At this time I can only ask you to rise with me for a toast of the success of the great sponsor of the association, the great cause of this achievement. Hon. Marcus Garvey, and for the success of this new venture, the steamship business. (Applause.) HON MARCUS GARVEY Hon. Marcus Garvey said: 'This is indeed a unique occasion. I campaign, however, with the assistant president general in saying that this is our first venture. This is our second. About two and one-half or three years ago, we made the first attempt to place ourselves upon the sea of commerce. Because of certain circumstances, which you well know, we were forced to suspend operations. But the U. N. L. A., as you know, is ever a living force, and it was the spirit of the movement that forced us to leaders, immediately after the suspension of the first effort we made to restart and to profit by the experience of the past. We have maturely pointed by that experience, and today we are assembled to inspect and christen the new ship of our second venture, the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company. I do hope that we will have better luck and hope with this new organization than we had with the old. We have much before us to look for because of the experience that we had in the trials of the Black Star Line. Some people look upon the failure of the Black Star Line as a total loss. We who know and understand the movement of things do not regard it as such. We believe that it was the foremerner of this greater effort, the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company. And from the anxious faces that we see here today we can believe that all of us are going to unite in one huge effort to make this new venture a success. We have absolutely no idea of being set back and even as we have started with this splendid ship so we hope to make steady and continuous progress as far as our efforts on the high seas are concerned. "I thank you as delegates and members of the association for the loyal support you have given the directors of the new company by being here today, and I also feel sure that the inspection is a success because there is no doubt about it that there is nothing about the ship, with which you could not feel satisfied. "It is a splendid start, and I do hope that all the boats we will have will be of this type. I believe this boat is of the first order and first-class and that it will help to advance the prestige and interests of our corporation. (Applause). I thank you." THE HON. G. E. CARTER The Hon. G. E. Carter, Secretary-General of the U. N. I. A., said: I am quite sure that this is a very happy occasion for us all. It is happy because it was the pleasure as well as the good fortune of those into THE HON. G. E. CARTER whose hands was enthrusted the final negotiations to close the contract on August 13. It is the most lucky day in the world for us. It is indicative of the foot that the Negroes of the Universal Negro Improvement Association are quite different from the old Negro. The old Negro had an aversion to the Number 13, but to us the "13" meant success. It pressured for an all that we are hoping for the future, and we know full well that with your co-operation and with close adherence to business principles we will indeed be able to travel the high seas and leave such an impression upon the world that would help us to do the things we have longed for and signed for. Your minds, however, are more bent of this time on strengthening the inner man than listening to me, and I shall, therefore, only say that this is just a foretaste of things greater to come. Because of this foretaste we are able to see a beautiful future that will hold for us many things to be disclosed, by way of real success and history-making for the Negro that we may well be proud of. (Apiasen.) THE HON. J. MILTON VAN LOWE The Hon. J. Milton Van Lowe, said: I am very pleased to be the recipient of the honor of making a few remarks on this most auspicious occasion. It is something that I am 'sure, as long as time lasts, as long as the world goes on, will always find a place somewhere in the annals of history. It is impossible for the world to forget this. It is impossible for the history to allow this moment, this time, this great attainment to find no place in history. And since this is an occasion that our girls longed for, that our souls signed for, and that we have suffered for, and that the world sighs for and for which we have made those multiplicities of sacrifices, I am sure that every one must feel from the depths of his heart or of her heart that great satisfaction that tongue cannot tell or pen record. Why? Here is the foundation of Negro unfit. There is the foundation of the economy, industrial and commercial strength of the race, for we find that when Greece found that she was unable to succeed on landalone she was forced to go to sea. When Spain found she was unable to succeed she was forced to go to sea. When England found she could not succeed on the promotional rock in the North Sea she was forced to go to sea, and, today, we find the sun never sets upon the domain of England. Consequently, this is the substratum, the gunding star, this is the Hesperides of the Negro race. Consequently, if any sure that whenever the sun shines, whenever the constellation glimmers, whenever the stars twinkle, they must twinkle upon the greatness and glory of the Negro race, coming from the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company. Therefore, we must go on and on paying no attention to what the enemy says. He is envious; he is jealous. WEIRD MYSTO The ORIGINAL youth of the world loves business, music.

(Appliause). DO NOT WORSHIP IN MY DISTRICT. NEGRO IS TOLD Nine men were arrested and additional police were called recently to cope with a threatened clash in connection with the second day of a protest demonstration against St. Paul's Baptist Church, colored, in the 1,500 block Rutland avenue, Baltimore. Seven of those arrested are Negroes who approached the scene of the disorder aimed with clubs and bottles. Their arrest was a virtual rescue by police from a crowd of whites who seized them. One of the white men arrested is said to have had a brick in his hand, and the other was taken in custody when he made threatening remarks concerning the arrest of the first. Hostilities Resumed A crowd of approximately 1,500 persons thronged the street in the vicinity of the church during the early hours of the evening as activities were resumed by white residents against the recent acquisition of the church by the Negro congregation. The offensive consisted of spasmode for all ages of bricks and stones hurled by persons on the roofs of nearby buildings and in alleyways. The repetition of the stone-throwing, begun Monday night, is believed to have been precipitated by the assembly of a small group of Negroes in the church early in the evening. Almost immediately a leaded-glass window in the front of the building was shattered and the gathering dispersed. Other Windows Broken Other windows of the building were broken in subsequent volleys, as well as the door of a house adjoining it. This house is occupied by a Negro family, to whom the property was rented by the church trustees, who bought it in connection with the church. During the early hours of the demonstration only a few Negroes were seen in the locality following the dismissal of the meeting in the church. One attempted to go through the crowd to the church, but he was taken away by police when the crowd began to peer and threaten him. Groups of Negroes Gather * The church remained in the vicinity of the church until 1.4. m. At 1.30 a.m. order had been restored and the neighborhood again was quiet. Those arrested gave their names and addresses as: Wilton and Nelson Thomas. 717 North Caroline street; Leroy Perry, 628 North Bond street; John Smith, 1712 Carlisle place; Roosevelt Lee, 513 McDonogh street; John Robinson, 708 Ashland avenue, and Lewis Distance, 1181 Rutland avenue. The white men arrested were Bernard Fink, 19 years old, 1700 block. Townsend place, and Henry Sigmidt, 24 years old, 1600 block North Wolfe street. Pink was said to have carried a brick. Crowd There All Day Residents of the neighborhood said a crowd remained in the block all through the day, but was augmented just before dark.-The first outbreak occurred Monday night, when windows in the rear of the building were broken by stones, together with windows in the adjoining dwelling. The darkening of the building and the departure of the church members EDUCATING WHITE PUBLIC OPINION TO NEEDS AND DESIRES OF NEGROES Fourth International Convention Decides How White Man Must Be Told What the New Negro Is Thinking A committee appointed by the Fourth International Convention of Negroes, after discussion of the subject, to make recommendations as to the ways and means of correctly educating white public opinion to the needs and desires of the Negro race, reported as follows: Recognizing the fact that the white world is not adequately conversant with the aspirations of the Negro of the twentieth century, and feeling that the existing race problems are due largely to the lack of proper appreciation of the ideals and ambitions that prompt the Negro, and that such non-appreciation may ultimately result in grave consequences that will affect both races, we, the Committee on Ways and Means of Correctly Educating White Public Opinion to the Desires and Needs of the Negro, respect- did not appease the wrath of the attackers, and the throwing continued throughout the night at frequent intervals. Arrests and threatened arrests caused offensive remarks from the crowd. Purchase of Church Proposed Earlier in the day a movement was started by residents of the neighborhood to raise funds for the purchase of the building from the Negro trustees. The pastor was told that it might be used as a community house and recreation center. The plan was suggested by Isaac A. Hahn, 1800 block Federal street, who first mentioned it to Capt. Thomas J. Mooney, of the Northeastern police district. Captain Mooney arranged the conference with the Negro pastor, who said he would place the matter before the board of trustees. John Siekel, an old resident of the neighborhood, who lives in the 1700 block. East Federal street, said last night he would be willing to purchase the property and would make a proposition to the trustees today. Shortly after midnight police cleared the block of the hundreds of persons who bitten there and diverted all traffic from Rutland avenue, between Laundale and Fedegal streets. The crowd retired to the nearest streets commanding a view of the building. U. N. I. A. PH Each and every member of the U. N. I. A. photo-sheet of the uniform of the Provisional Presi- I. A.
