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. 3 NEW YORK, SATURDAY, AUGUST 30, 1924 PRICE: FIVE CENTS IN GREATER NEW YORK TEN CENTS ELSEWHERE IN THE U.S.A. TEN CENTS IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES LET'S HAVE SHIPS AND STILL MORE SHIPS Fellow Men of the Negro Race, Greeting: The Universal Negro Improvement Association appeals to you everywhere for financial support in helping to make the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company a success. We want money to completely pay for our first ship, which is to be put in commission in a short while. Seventy thousand dollars ($70,000.00) more must be raised, and the appeal is to each and every man and woman to do his and her bit. The Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company is borrowing the necessary amount of money to start business with. It is asking each individual to loan $25, $50, $100, $200, $300, $400, $500 or $1,000, at an interest of five percent annually, for five or ten years. If everybody will loan as requested, the corporation will have the necessary amount of money to start business immediately. Let everybody help. Let everybody do his bit. Now is the time for us to press forward industrially and economically. We have to lay a strong and firm foundation upon which we can build an independent race. The changes that are coming will be of a grave nature if we do not make an effort on our own account to stabilize our industries. We have to lay out for ourselves and ultimately we will have to employ ourselves if we are to exist as a people. It is for this reason that the Universal Negro Improvement Association, through the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company, is endeavoring to establish itself so that it may be able to employ many thousands of us who will, in a short while, be thrown out of employment. We must put the race to work. If we can feed ourselves, it is natural that we will become possessors of all that we desire. When we cannot feed ourselves, we remain the slaves of others. If we can put our ships on the high seas sailing between the different sections of our race, carrying our cargo and passengers, then we will be able in a short while to build up ourselves as a commercially and industrially independent force. Africa's Resources Africa with her unlimited raw materials is beckoning to us to send our ships and more NEGRO RACE MUST SAVE ITSELF FOR THE FUTURE EVERYBODY SHOULD HELP NEW STEAMSHIP LINE World of Possibilities Before the Race—Negroes Should Grasp Opportunity Now HELP UNITE THE RACE THE WORLD OVER ships. South and Central America and the West Indies, also with untold quantities of raw materials, are anxious to deal with us, the fifteen million in these United States of America, and with the raw materials taken from foreign countries and placed upon the markets in America and in our factories, we will be able to develop an independence that will ultimately free us from the hellish condition in which we now find ourselves. Now is not the time to argue, but for each and every one to put his shoulder to the wheel and help us put the program over. We want money and more money to finance the steamship proposition, and we appeal to you for it at this time. As you read this message this week you will send in your $50, $100, $200, $500 loan to the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company, 56 West 135th Street, New York, to enable it to carry out its obligation in building up the steamship industry. Much to Be Done There is also much that each and every member of the Universal Negro Improvement Association can do, and that is to spread further the wide influence of this movement. We want millions more in the fold who will help to hold up the banner of the Red, the Black and the Green. We want within another twelve months a more complete and thorough organization capable, as we have done before, of holding the enemy in check, in advancing the cause that we love so much—that of African redemption. Africa industrially, commercially, educationally, religiously and politically must be redeemed, and the work of doing that rests upon the shoulders of those who follow the principles of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Africa is the last hope of the black man. To lose it is to lose his life. Now, more than ever, the white races of Europe are endeavoring to fasten their grip upon the great continent, the continent of wealth, the continent of our fathers, but, thanks to goodness, the Universal Negro Improvement Association has already established herself in every nook and corner, and from East, West, North, South and Central Africa we now hear the cry for freedom and independence. Let us give unto the Africans the education they need. Let us further strengthen the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and as we struggle on there will be reason to believe that in a short while the objects so desired will be achieved. Let us put ships and more ships on the seas. Let us link up our resources everywhere. Let us create a closer bond of fellowship between the race in every section of the world. Let American and West Indians fight together. Let the Western Negroes fight with the Eastern Negroes and let the four hundred millions of us stand solidly facing the enemies of progress and freedom, and then we are bound to win. Last Days of Convention Work As we enter upon the last days of the Fourth Annual International Convention, let us as delegates, deputies and members redouble our energy in promulgating the sacred doctrines of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. We should have more enthusiasm now than ever, because the principles of our organization are better understood. Try to inspire every one you come in contact with with the high and lofty ideals of our movement. Make a convert wherever you go. Let us work together day and night for the final triumph of our cause. With very best wishes; I have the honor to be New York, August 26, 1924. P. S.—The Parent Body of the Universal Negro Improvement Association appeals to all its members, branches, chapters and divisions to send in whatsoever funds they have in hand for the organization. All members should send in all moneys in hand for the Convention Fund. Secretaries and Presidents will please send in all monthly reports that are due. The Association needs all funds available to carry on its work: M. G. THIRD COURT RECEPTION A ROARING SUCCESS FIVE THOUSAND PEOPLE ARE CHARMED BY THE GORGEOUSNESS OF THE FUNCTION Liberty Hall Is Transformed Into a Palace of Beauty—Impressive Ceremonies Are Witnessed When Titles Are Conferred Upon Negroes for Distinguished Service THE AFFAIR IS GRACED BY PRESENCE OF PRINCE OF DAHOMEY—IS GUEST OF HONOR AT BANQUET AND SPEAKS ENTHUSIASTICALLY OF MOVEMENT. LIBERTY HALL, New York, Wednesday Night, Aug. 20. Liberty Hall was a scene of pomp and splendor tonight on the occasion of the Third Court Reception to His Supreme Highness the Potentate of the Universal Negro Improvement Association to which 500 guests, including the House of Deputies and delegates of the convention, were invited. The atmosphere of seriousness which pervaded the hall for the two weeks and more, during which the convention has been in session, was changed for a brief while and the hall transformed into a veritable palace of beauty that dazzled the eyes of spectators. This is the great social function that graces the annual conventions and is looked forward to with much interest: hence no pains were spared in the plans and preparations to make it an event that will linger in the memories of the thousands who participated in and witnessed it. At the main entrances to the Hall on 1838th street, canopies were erected and stretching from the sidewalk into the building were strips of green carpet on which the guest walked as they entered the building. The interior of the hall was tastefully and artistically decorated, a profuse array of palms and green shrubbery placed at different points lent a pleasing effect to the room, together with the flags, multicolored lights and lanterns and other illuminating contrivances, the vari-colored ribbons entwining the pillars gave the hall the appearance of some Oriental court in which the rulers of ancient days disported themselves on festive occasions. On and around the platform the decorations carried out, the effect of a great garden, the palms and green carpets symbolizing green grass, which harmonized in true tone to the winding smalx that crept up the pillars, and the lattice work on the platform. The background for this foliage consisted of gold pineapple cloth, whose semi-circles fell over a background of royal purple and a border of silver tinsel, top and bottom. At a central point on the wall behind the platform was a huge satin banner with a black cross superimposed on the red, black and green colors. The furnishings consisted of beautiful' mahogany upholstered chairs tastefully arranged with wicker electric lamps scattered between them At 8.15 P. M. Before the function commenced, the full force of the legions in uniform was lined up in formation, giving a military aspect to the occasion, while Black Cross nurses in their immaculately white uniforms, and the juvenile boys and girls all in uniform added to the impressiveness of the scene. The band meanwhile discouraged sweet music to the great delight of the crowd which increased in numbers as the hour approached, for commencing the ceremonies. When everything was in readiness the function began at 8:15, with the legions masching from the far end of the hall and halting opposite the platform, where they formed themselves into a lane through which the high officials would pass before ascending the platform. In the procession were His Highness, the Supreme Deputy and Acting Potentate Hon. G. O. Marke, in blue uniform with gold trappings and plumed hat; the other executive officials being - similarly dressed and consisting of the Hon. Marcus Garvey, Hon. William Sherrell, Hon. Rudolph Smith, Hon. G. E. Carter, Hon. P. L. Burrows, Hon. S. E. Robertson, Hon. Clifford Bourne, Hon. G. E. Weston, and Bishop George A. McGuire in full clear garb of his rank. Bringing up the rear of the procession was His Highness the Prince Kojo Tovalou-Houenou, of Dahomey, who was the distinguished guest of the eve.

At the conclusion of the program, the guests sat down at a banquet, tables having been arranged at the western end of the hall and caveras laid for 500. The following addresses were then delivered: Hon. Marcus Garvey said: We artize at this time to drink to the health of the Prince of Dahomey. We are favored on this occasion with the presence of one of the illustrious sons of Africa in the person of this Prince who is descended from a royal line of African kings. Those of you who are well acquainted with the histor, of Africa will recall that at one time in the history of civilization Dahomey had a high and lofty place among the nations. Unfortunately, the father of this Prince was conquered by the French; his kingdom was taken away from him, and he was forced into exile. That is the reason why this illustrious Prince, who is our guest tonight, is now the active ruler of his kingdom in Dahomey, but by the work and efforts of the U. N. I. A., we hope that Dahomey will once more return to the company of nations. (Applause.) Therefore, at this time, I call upon you to toast the health of the Prince of Dahomey, hoping that in a short while he will be received in his ancient kingdom. THE PRINCE REPLIES His Royal Highness the Prince of Dahomey, talking in French, said: I present you tonight the highest salutations from your brothers in Africa. I thank you with the fulness of my heart for this gracious and magnificent reception that you have accorded me. I congratulate you for having intuition, by atavium instituted the Royal Court and given a royal reception of which I feel honored to be a guest. Honil solit qui mal y pense (evil to him who evil thinks), is the device of Great Britain. Not with the object degradation to which we have been subjected, you have restored the ancient glory of Ethiopia; the glories of the most ancient of the continents of the world, and you have made to live again in the memory of modern men and women who have not known the glories of Ethiopia, the brilliance of the Courts of that country, which was once the oldest and grandest in civilization. Africa is not what the people who are avaricious of conquest think and have painted her. We have also strong traditions, noble as well as moral; we have had States and countries and nations and one of the most brilliant professors of the University of Paris, Mon. Delaforte, in his "History of Nations" has told the world at large that Ethiopia or Africa had a line of kings which preceded the Egyptian dynasty by 2,000 years. Africa, with nobility of spirit and with magnanimity of heart, long before the creation of the League of Nations, when she was in her pristine glory, realized what it was to disarm, and disarmament conferences were held long prior to the one recently held in Washington. The Simple Life Africa lived a simple life; a life free from care and worry, living on her natural resources, living not only under the sun of love, but living as it were in the presence of God. She received all nations, all races were most hospitably entertained by her, and she did not believe, that she was receiving in her breasts enemies, or that she was nourishing traitors who stole away her sons and sold them in foreign lands. And today, after having sold them, they have written most infamous histories concerning Africa, but we, her modern song, are now commencing to rewrite her history and give to the world of the twentieth century the full luster and the glory that belongs to Africa. I am glad to know that notwithstanding centuries of suffering and asperities, which these centuries have brought, we have not forgotten the country because you have assimilated the civilization of the Western world, and by means of you Africa is to be redeemed. Wend your way to that Africa, the Africa that you have not forgotten; the Africa that has not forgotten you and sooner or later, you will again establish her to her pristine glory, even in the land of our Fathers. Again I thank the Hon. Marcus Garvey for the personal invitation extended to me, and not only for that, but for this grand banquet. I thank him and congratulate him because he is a great warrior, a warrior of the race who has broken into the ranks of the enemy and through whom we hope to enter Africa in a most glorious manner. (Applause). I can assure the Hon. Marcus Garvey that today his name makes nations tremble because they realize that all the lies and legends they have put out concerning Africa will soon be exposed and put to an end. I drink to the health personally of the Hon. Marcus Garvey, for the unification of all the black organizations, and finally for long life to Africa. Three cheers were called for the Hon. Marcus Garvey, which were most enthusiastically given. The speech making concluded, dancing followed and was continued until about 2 a.m. In 1875 Bishop Cummins granted canonical recognition to four hundred colored Episcopalians in South Carolina. Stevens, his evangelist, afterward bishop "opened a training school for the ministry. Up to 1888 the work had received aid from the general council. In 1892 these Reformed Episcopal Negroes numbered twenty lay-presachers. Thirty-eight congregations and eighteen hundred and twenty-four communicants, maintained a parochial school at Charleston, and supported a girl in India. The women also sent annual aid to Africa. Bishop Stevens before 1861 trained the boys who as Stevens Battery fired the last shot at Fort Burton. In 1893 he participated in the Chicago Congress of Africa.—Norfolk Journal and Guide.

LONDON, Aug. 19.—Out of the great African interior, by way of Capetown, comes a pathetic story of a group of white men and women who are living in a state of subjection to blacks, who exercise complete mastery over them. The tragic fate of these unfortunate whites has just been revealed in a report, which officials of the South African Government's locust expedition, now in the interior of the great Kalahari Desert, have sent to Capetown. The expedition went into the interior to study the breeding grounds of locusts. When they arrived • Molopoleo, 100 miles in the interior of the desert, the officials were taken before Sebele, the paramount native chief. They found him well educated and able to speak English fluently. Both he and his wife wore European clothes. the visitors discovered some 50 white men and women living near the chief's kraal, where they act as servants to the chief and his followers. They are thought to be descendants of old Dutch pilgrims, who trakking into the interior, lost themselves in the desert. Their horses, overcome with the drought, died and the pilgrims fled themselves on the mercy of the natives. These unfortunates have no power to own land and no privileges of any kind. They are virtually serfs to the natives, tilling the land of their black masters, who give them small quantities of grain as wages. The natives around Molopoloi are rich both in cattle and land. They carry rifles, but the whites are not permitted to possess firearms, Chief Sabelle dispenses justice to all his tribe—the Bechuana—which is recognized as the aristocracy of the Kalahari. The Kalahari Desert forms the western part of British Bechuanaland, and is about 128,000 square miles in extent. It was first crossed to Lake Ngami by Dr. David Livingstone in 1848. STRUGGLE FOR FAIR PLAY IN GOLD COAST Undermining Confidence of Friendly British People by False Show Interest in Dealing with the Native . The task that lies before the leaders of the people, now that we are having a breathing-time, and calculating on constitutional developments, is to rally the people and to keep the hard to together so that they may be in a fit condition to face the future. We say so because the people are passing through a real testing time and conditions are so depressing that those among them lacking the power of endurance unity grow down-hearted and succumb to the stratagem of the forces of repression who are after us, and also because it is absolutely necessary that we preserve the measure of cohesion we have attained so far in order that with an unbroken front we may carry the struggle for political emancipation to a successful issue. There are various circumstances in our everyday life which are enough in themselves to make the stoutest heart quail at times, but our people should be roamed with the urging that the darkest hour precedes the dawn and that other nations before them had trod the same path in the march of progress. We have had a prolonged trade depression. We have had imposed upon us severe burdens by the incidence of strange development schemes; and added to all this is a series of aggressive legislation aiming at impairing the very institutions which make us a peculiar people. These are factors sufficient to dispirit the most hardy race that ever existed. But that is the test of a nation on its trial, and the motherland expects every worthy Gold Coast African to do his duty by playing a manly part in the struggle. 'Are we down-hearted? That is the question we wish to put to our people today, but we have no doubt as to the answer, for we know that there are thousands among them even now straining in the leash who will leap to the breach when the call comes. Are we down-hearted? We are sure our people are not. In our future political struggles we shall have to rely more and more on our own efforts because, reading from the political biography, we seem to see forces at work endeavoring to blind-fold the hand of British philanthropists who have hitherto stood firmly for the fair treatment of Natives. These worthy British people, many of whom are去 the Imperial Parliament, have often asked awkward questions as to native affairs and made discoveries dis- PLUKO WHITE HAIR DRESSING FORMERLY BLACK - WHITE Makes The Hair Grow Long Soft and Glossy.

The legend on the cover of the Governor's last annual address to the Legislative Council, entitled "A Review of the Events of 1922," is:—"Policy—Progress"; "Prospects—Prosperity" and we can easily imagine what effect these catchwords will have on the minds of innocent British people. Naturally, when those among the British people who would not have the natives exploited are given the assurance that the main policy of the representatives of British authority in this country is the "progress" and the "prosperity" of the people of the Gold Coast the most persistent critic of local methods of government is 'disarmed. Having succeeded in silencing this band of inquisitive people at home, as local officialdom' regards them, the natives, of course, become a fair game which could be easily dealt with. We have experienced the policy of divide and rule as practiced among our own people. But we must confess that this idea of dividing the well-meaning British people, who take interest in native affairs, from the Africans in order that the latter might be ruled the more effectively is quite novel to us. But are we down-hearted because there are forces at work to separate our supporters from our side? Certainly not. Bather should this new development brace us up to a more persistent effort until we have reached the place we have marked for ourselves in the British Empire. We are not down-hearted, because we know that many among our people are ready to make sacrifices when the time comes—not the kind of sacrifice that a handful of Africans will make so that they may occupy high social positions, nor the kind of sacrifice which may bring their knighthoods; but the sacrifice which our ancestors made in the old days without expectation of reward or recognition, with the result that today we enjoy, the fruits of their labors in the form of our broad acres and customs and institutions. Negro Baptists to some extent are a monument of the religious activity of Southern white Baptists. In 1801 the Charleston association Bitteng'd the Legislature of South Carolina to remove restrictions on the religious meeting of slaves. Pastors, some of them the most eminent, labored faithfully among them. Planters frequently paid liberally toward the support of home missionaries to the Negroes. As a rule black and white Baptists, bond and free, worshipped together, though the increase of Negro converts in the cities sometimes rendered separate churches necessary. These were independent in spiritual matters, but the colored members of mixed churches had a voice only in cases relating to their race. Norfolk Journal and Guide. LIBERTY HALL, New York—The third week's sittings of the Fourth International Convention of the Negroes of the World, which closed with the session of Friday night, August 22, were full of events that left their impress on the minds of all who participated and made a further contribution, to the history of the Universal Negro Improvement Association that will send the 1924 convention down the ages as one of the most notable gatherings that has ever assembled in the city of New York. The delegates and deputies got off to a good start on Sunday, the 17th, when they, with thousands of other people, witnessed with much pride and enthusiasm the christening of the new ship acquired by the Black Cross Navigation Company for the Universal Negro Improvement Association. This imparted to them added stimulus which made itself evident in the manner in which the business of the convention for the week was expedited. Subjects of vital importance to the interests of the race were disposed of, and the various committees which were appointed during the first two weeks' sessions brought in their findings and recommendations. The convention was honored during the week with the presence at several of the sessions of High Highness Prince Kojo Tovalon-Houenon, who is a direct descendant of the former King of Dahomey in the days when that province in Africa was ruled by black people. The prince addressed the gathering on three occasions and made a profound impression. His remarks (delivered in French and interpreted in English) were brimful of praise and admiration for the U. N. I. A. and Marcus Garvey and typified the prince as one of the leaders of the race who is intensely concerned about the redemption of Africa and the restoration of the former glories of Ethiopia. Among the most important subjects discussed during the week was the question of liberating the black Republic of Hayti from American domination created by the presence there of American troops. Strong expressions of protest were entered against this arbitrary invasion of the freedom of a country which, over 100 years ago gained its autonomy through the heroic gallantry of Toussaint L'ouverture, and a committee was appointed to draft a petition to the President of the United States embodying the protest of the Negro peoples of the world and praying, for an immediate withdrawal of the troops from Hayti. Another significant feature of the week's proceedings was the magnificent court reception staged at Liberty Hall on Wednesday night, when thousands of people attended and witnessed the gorgeous display of pomp and splendor attendant upon the conferring of titles upon men and women of the race, who have performed meritorious service in the cause of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and for the uplift of the race. The details of the court reception will be found in another column of this issue. Following is an abridged report of the week's proceedings: MONDAY MORNING, AUGUST 18 The Convention assembled at 10:30 a.m. the Speaker, Hon. Marcus Garvey, in the chair. After prayers, the minutes of the previous session were read and confirmed. Hon. Marcus Garvey addressed the delegates in regard to the shipping project, expressing the hope that all were satisfied with the ship and that they would do all in their power to make it possible that more ships be acquired in the near future. The discussion of the following subject, left unfinished at the previous session, was continued: "Encouraging travel among and between Negroes of commercial and industrial professors." Hon. P. L. Burrows, First Asst. Secretary-General, spoke of the excellent education to be obtained through the ancient glories of the race above all pay attention to pay which was the science of today. Hon. A. G. Elliott, of Garvey into the psychological trend, re to the religious aspect, expect the use of pictures in the home cause of their influence on the of the children. Hon. J. Chambers, of New C spoke of educational psychology Hon. Mrs. Brown, of Newark of the neglect of the men of the to take their part of the respect of home training. As a result the poor woman was at work, the dren received their training streets; and at night father, of taking a hand in teaching the dren, left the home and went where. The race could not in under such conditions. Hon. C. H. Bryant, Costa, Rea pointed out some of the benefits to be derived. Hon. Dennis Washington, Louisiana Hon. R. A. Martin, Florida, Cuba, Hon. M. Daniels, Brooklyn, also spoke whereupon the discussion was closed and the following committee appointed by the speaker to draft recommendations and report back to the Convention: Hon. J. Hassell, Seattle Hon. R. H. Bachelor, Ortelete, Cuba, Hon. A. R. Patersaul, Alliance, Ohio. The Convention then proceeded to discuss the formulation of a code of education, especially for Negroes; (2) censoring of all literature placed in the hands of Negroes; (3) the educating of the race to discriminate in the reading of all literature placed in its hands; (4) the promotion of an independent Negro literature and culture. Hon. Bishop McGuire, called upon to deliver the冕妮 address, stressed the importance of the subject and promised, with the approval of the chair, to do so during the afternoon session. Hon. Prof. D. H. Kyle, Clarksburg, W. Va., in a very thoughtful address, in which he showed why certain songs and hymns should be condemned, recommended that every delegate and deputy make it his duty on returning to his or her community to see that their lodges and societies reverse the thought by which to "blackball" meant to reject and "whiteball" to elect. He stressed the need for the teaching of Negro history, suggesting that such a book be compiled by a committee designated by U. N. I. A. At this stage the convention adjourned. The Convention was called to order at 2:30 p.m. The discussion on education was continued from the morning, after the usual preliminaries. Hon. Margus Garvey, Speaker-in-Convention, was in the Chair. Hon. Freeman Martin, of St. Louis, said that the Negro was suffering from a dreadful disease which he called "White man's Psychology." In order to eradicate it we must use educational methods by the publication of literature, books and periodicals. He referred to the text-books and histories used in the schools at the present time which were quite unsuitable for the education of the Negro racially. He kept a good Negro library, and while he was teaching he used such books to much advantage. Hon. W. J. Donald, of Arkansas, emphasized the keeping of pictures of Negro leaders and heroes and also the education of the children in social mathers and general conduct. Hon.J. Peters also stressed the psychological factor; the training of the young and the necessity of publishing literature to free the race from the mental enslavement of the white man. He urged the delegates to teach the children the love of race; teach them the ancient glories of the race, and above all pay attention to psychology, which was the science of today. Hon. A. G. Ellisburg, of Gary, fell into the psychological trend, referring to the religious aspect, especially in the use of pictures in the homes, because of their influence on the minds of the children. Hon. J. Chambers, of New Orleans, spoke of educational psychology. Hon. Mrs. Brown, of Newark, spoke of the neglect of the men of the race to take their part of the responsibility of home training. As a result, while the poor woman was at work, the children received their training in the streets; and at nights father, instead of taking a hand in teaching the children, left the home and went elsewhere. The race could not improve under such conditions. Hon. R. H. Bachelor, of Cubu, urged the adoption of an educational code in the same way that the white man has his code for the schools and universities. MONDAY AFTERNOON SESSION He further suggested that efforts should be made to counteract the propaganda of the white missionaries who, in their endeavors to collect monies for converting alleged savages print many objectionable pictures and statements in their literature, tending to cause the Negro to despise his race. Hon. R. Van Lowe, Detroit, supported the last speaker in his suggestion that an educational code be instituted and suggested the indirect method of teaching if frontal attacks were not successful. Especially, he urged that attention be paid to the churches and schools. Hon. Arnold Ford of New York, said the Negro was suffering from "Leucomania" or white mentality. Suggested the publication of all kinds of literature for propaganda purposes to cure the terrible disease. Hon. R.B. Eaton, of Virginia, agreed with those who urged the publication of literature. Hon. G. A. Weston, New York, stressed the influence of environment in connection with the subject. He said it is not so much the environment as the environed that counts, because no matter what the environment is, the matter depended upon whether the environed accepts the thing or not. He said that the Negro should get rid of the alleged "curse" theory said to be found in the Bible. Eventually, after further discussion, a committee consisting of Professors Kyle and Chambers: Hon. Lawyer Martin, Bishop McGuire and Hon. R. H Bacheler was appointed to go into the matter. Hon. Murcos Garvey said that a letter had been sent to the convention by the Workers' party of America protesting the attitude, adopted by the convention in the matter of the Ku Klux Klan. The speaker said that they should give the letter courteous consideration as he had given to any other political party, but he said it was not to be denied that all white men felt they were different to the black man no matter how much they expressed themselves to the contrary. He realized that the working class people were hein, crushed by the capitalists, but said it was quite a different kind of crushing to that given to the Negroes. Hon. Dr. J. Peters, Chicago, said it was clear to him that the white man did not well understand Negro psychology, judging from that letter and other facts. The letter, which was a lengthy one, was received and read. The Hon. Marcus Garvey again referred to the letter and said that problems of the white men of different classes were really solved. Not so between white and black. The lynchings and Burnings in the South attributed to the Klan pailed into insignificance when compared to the whole- THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, AUGUST 20, 1984 WORK OF CONVENTION GOES ON MERRILY-LENGHTY PROGRAM OF SUBJECTS IS BEING DISPOSED OF WITH EXPEDITION COMMITTEES BRING IN THEIR RECOMMENDATIONS AND FINDINGS-DECISIONS THAT WILL REVOLUTIONIZE THE STATUS OF THE NEGRO Prince Houenou, of Dahomey, Attends Sessions and Praises Spirit of Organization and Marcus Garvey—Hayti Appeal to U.

The Jews and Catholics can easily fight the Ku Klux Klan because they own their factories and other commercial places where they can get employment, but when the Negro starts to fight, his meal ticket is liable to be cut off, as he has no such establishments to give him employment. He, therefore, urged Negroes to watch their step. Hon. W. Wallace, of Chicago, agreed with the remarks of the speaker in general and reminded the convention that on one occasion when the black and white waiters in Chicago went on strike, on settlement of the strike the blacks who had assisted in putting it over, were left on the streets, while the whites went back to work without giving any aid to the former. He also pointed out that the worker of today becomes the capitalist of tomorrow. This is not so with our people here. Hon. F. Martin, of St. Louis, moved that the convention, while fully appreciating the profuse of counsel in the matter, and also the offer of co-operation in what they termed a common fight, begged to advise that the position taken by the convention fully represented the point of view best calculated to serve our interests. This resolution was unanimously carried. Convention adjourned at 5 p.m. MONDAY EVENING The convention resumed at 3 p.m. the Speaker, Hon. Marcus Garvey, in the chair. After prayers, the minutes of the previous session were read and confirmed. The Speaker announced that the Haitian delegation, through their spokesman, Hon. Theodore Stephens, would be heard, and in a brief address paid a attribute of the great soldier-storm-murder. Toussaint L'Ouverture. He expressed the sympathy of the administration with the Haitians in their right for independence and true liberation. Hon. Roy Theodore Stephens then addressed the convention, making a stirring appeal to the United States Government and to American public opinion, through the convention, for the restoration of autonomy to Haiti. At this stage the Speaker announced that Has Royal Highness Prince Kojo Touaton Houenou, of Dahomey, who spoke French but very little English, would be introduced to the convention by Hon. Theodore Stephens, The Prince, who had just arrived from France, said the Speaker, was the man responsible for the new spirit that is sweeping Colonial France at the present time. He had come to see the Universal Negro Improvement Association in its organized forces and activities. Hon. Mr. Stephens then introduced the Prince, whom he described as an erudite scholar and great thinker, bar- rister-at-law of the Court of Appeals, Paris, doctor of medicine, editor, author and president of the Universal League for, the defense of the black race. He was the nephew of the late King Behanzil, who was deported to Martinique after his kingdom was conquered by France, and who later returned from exile to die in Algeria. The Prince journeyed to France in 1900, where he remained ever since pursuing his studies. The Prince then came forward to address the convention and was given a rousing evation. Speaking through an interpreter, Hon. Stephens, he paid a tribute to the Hon. Marcus Garvey, to the Universal Negro Improvement Association and to the convention. He lauded France's sense of justice while depreciating passionately the abuses of her agents committed in Africa. It was for the Negroes of the world, he said, under whatever flag they might be, in whatever organization to unite their forces and go marching back to their motherland and wrest it from the common enemy. The discussion of the Haitian appeal wan then resumed. Hon. J. A. Hassell, Seattle, referred to the brilliant exploits of Toussaint L'Ouverture in freeing his people. Hon. Prof. D. H. Kyle, Clarkburg, W. Va., said the convention should go on record to use its influence in the various communities of America through their national representatives to secure Halian freedom. The ballot was the weapon to be used. At this stage the convention adjourned. TUESDAY MORNING, ANGUST 19 The convention assembled at 10:30 a.m. the Speaker, Hon. Marcus Givens, in the chapel. After prayers the minutes of the previous session were read and confirmed on the motion of Hon. Reps. Washington, Maryland, seconded by Hon. R. A. Martin, Florida, Cuba The speaker called for reports, and the Hon B. L. Burrows, presented the report of the committee appointed to frame suggestions in regard to theeducating of the Negro race as to the realmeaning of society, and laying downthe principles that should guide thosewho are deserving of becoming sociallydistinctive. "Creating an atmosphereof purity around the young generationof the race, to better prepare them fora higher social life." A minority report was presented byHon Mae Ford, New York. Both reports were received for discussion section by section. The convention was still engaged indiscussing and appending the majorityreport when, the adjournment wastaken until 8:30 p.m. TUESDAY EVENING P. M. the Speaker, Hon. Marcus Garvey, in the Chair. The Convention concluded the discussion of the report of the Committee appointed to frame suggestions in regard to the educating of the Negro race as to the real meaning of society and having John the principles that should guide those who are desirous of beginning socially distinctive; also creating an atmosphere of purity around the young generation of the race to better prepare them for a higher social life. The report was then adopted on the motion of Hon. R. A. Bachelor, Oriente Cuba, sounded by Hon. C. H. Bryant, Costa Rica. Discussion of the minority report was deferred until the next session. Thursday morning, the Convention adjourning to be entertained with Negro moving pictures. WEDNESDAY EVENING.

The proceedings wound up with a State hall at which the Prince led off with permission the envoys painting a white horse. Miss Ma. Jacques, stater-in-law of the President-General. THURSDAY AFTERNOON, AUG. 21 The Convention resumed at 2 o'clock the Hon. Marcus Gervay in the Chair. After the usual formalities, the delegates began the discussion of the minority report on "Educating 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." This report recommended among other things that a woman's department be established in every division with a training class for prospective mothers as well as a cradle roll and register; health certificates should be exchanged between the contracting parties before marriage; children should be taught morality based on the Ten Commandments; illiteracy should be discouraged; children should be taught thrift and to develop a spirit of independence, etc. During the course of the discussion, Hon. Wm. Sherrill begged leave to introduce two gentlemen who came to visit them. They were Dr. J. W. Robinson, vice-president of the Douglas National Bank, of Chicago, and Pastor of St. Marks Church of New York city and Dr. T. H. W. Walker of Jacksonville, Flu. Of Dr. Robinson he said that that gentleman did not believe that his activities were limited to this church, but on the contrary, he had identified himself with all the activities which tended to the progress and advancement of the race. Dr. Robinson said he was primarily there to introduce Dr. Thomas W. H. Walker, of Jacksonville Fla., who was pastor of the Simpson Memorial Episcopal Church. He explained that he very much admired Hon. Marcus Garvey and his work with the program of which he was in accord. He introduced Dr. Walker by saying that he was not only a pastor, a historian and a leader of the race, but because he had lived in Liberia, a country in which they were all interested. Dr. Walker then delivered a very impressive and inspiring address, during which he urged his hearts to continue under the guidance of their leader or because whatever they do they were sure to progress because such leadership must carry them somewhere. He drew a picture of Liberia and regretted that time did not permit him to enlarge on the subject. A hearty vote of thanks was accorded to the distinguished visitors on the motion of Hon F. Martin, seconded by Hon S. V. Robertson. The discussion was resumed and proved to be very lively and interesting. The items regarding the exchange of health certificates, and the adoption of the ten commandments evoked some controversy in which many of the delegates joined, including Hon's Dereks Bishop McClune, Mrs. Boyd and several others. Eventually on the motion of Bishop McClune, the report was adopted as read. Another report was presented to the convention. It was that of the committee on Education. After consideration, the meeting closed the report. The next item was the discussion of the appeal of the Hattie deposition to the convention to assert in favour about misleading. This discussion had been communicated during Monday's session and the Henn speaker refreshed the memories of the delegates of the absent points of the appeals as well as to what was expected from them. He remarked that Hattie was near by and was willing to accept all Negroes and those who could do so to go all the way to Africa might think well of their themselves in the economic and industrial progress of Hattie even though they did not feel willing to go there as citizens. He also reminded them of the present position of Hattie: Hen Held Stieker of Middletown and Hen I Caperton of Trinidad played in the discussion which was adjourned till the evening session. Hon. Bishop McGinn moved that the convention request the speaker in convention to convey to His Highness, the Supreme Deputy and to His Excellency the President General and also to the High Executive, their profound gratitude and apreciation of the deputies and delegates for the magnificent reception given them on the previous evening. This was seconded by Hon. Corrie Munis and carried Convention adjourned until the evening. THUR$DAY EVENING The convention foresmpiled at 9 p.m. Hon. L. B. Burrows in the chair. After prayers a short concert program was rendered, the asking speaker announcing that he would occupy the chair until the arrival of the speaker. Shortly after it was announced that Attention of Subscribers! Frequently we receive notices from Post Offices to the effect that subscriptions' copies are not delivered for "Removed, Left No. Address"; "No Such Number"; "Not Found"; "Refused" or "Unclaimed." Beginning with the issue dated August 2, we shall publish under the heading, "Service Column," the name of the subscriptions for the month of July; in September we shall carry the names of those affected during the month of August, etc. Subscribers who experience difficulty with their subscriptions may be asked to seen this column. The reason for non-delivery may become apparent and corrective measures be put into effect to our mutual satisfaction. E. R. MATHEWS, Business Mgr the speaker was detained on pressing business and would not be present at that session. The order of the day was suspended and the following delegates addressed the house at the invitation of the acting speaker: Hon. Joseph Craigman, Detroit, Hon. R. H. Batchelor, Orlenz; Cuba; Hon. R. H. Wheat, Chicago; Hon. Charles Jackson, New Orleans; Hon. M. Daniels, Brooklyn, and Hon. Mrs. B. V. Robertson, New York. The proceedings closed with the singing of the Ethiopian National Anthem, the adjournment being taken until the following morning. FRIDAY MORNING, AUGUST 22 The convention assembled at 10 a.m. the speaker. Hon. Marcus Garvey, in the chair. After prayers, the minutes of the two previous sessions were read and confirmed. The order of the day, consideration of the Haitian appeal, was proceeded with. Hon. R. H. Bachelor, Oriente, Cuba; Hon. Freeman L. Martin, St. Louis; Hon. J. Milton Van Lowe, Detroit; Hon. Bishop McGuire, New York; Hon. Smith, New York; Hon. Dr. J. J. Pete- s, Chicago; Hon. J. B. Eaton, Norfolk, Va.; Hon. Prof. I. Chambers, New Orleans; Hon. J. Craggen, Detroit; Hon Charles Jackson, New Orleans; Hon R. A Martin, Florida, Cuba; Hon. C. H. Bryant, Costa Rica; Hon. G. Brown, Muml, Fla.; Hon. M. Daniels, Brooklyn; Hon. Allevue, Pittsburgh, Pa.; Hon C. Green, Jacksonville, Fla. ; Hon W. H. Wallace, Illinois, apoke, expressing their conviction that the time had come when a wholehearted effort should be made by the Negroes of America, through the Universal Negro Improvement Association, to assist Hattil unregaining complete independence in terms of her appeal to the convention and the association. The consensus of opinion was that the ballot in America should be used, through the Universal Negro Political Union, to force the United States Government to restore autonomy to Haiti, it being made known by presidents of divisions in their various communities to candidates for office, senators and congressmen that support of the Union was contingent upon their intention to support the nation-wide effort of Negroes to restore to the Haitians freedom and true independence. At the conclusion of the debate, in the course of which there was a recital of the wrongs and abuses visited upon the Haitians and of the motives for the American occupation, the following committee was appointed by the speaker to draft recommendations as to the best means and methods of rendering to Haiti the assistance sought, the committee to report back to the convention during the afternoon session. Hon G. E. Carter, Secretary-General; Hon Dr. J. I. Peters, Chicago; Hon W. A. Wallace, Illinois; Hon Freeman L. Martin, St. Louis; Hon H. Kyle Clarkburg, W. Va.; Hon R. H. Fuchsler, Orientia, Cuba; and Hon J. Craigson, Detroit. These actions then adjourned until 1 p.m. FRIDAY AFTERNOON The convention reassembled at 2 p.m. in the speaker, Hon. Marcus Garvey, in the chairs. After presents, the minutes of the previous session were read and concurred. The convention then proceeded to discuss the program of a white Canada, a white America, a white Europe and a white Australia, composed by white leaders. Hon. Richard McGinn New York, in (continuing on page 2) 'LOST VIGOR RESTORED IN 24 HOURS' "Glands Awakened in One Day" Is the Amazing Statement of a Seventy-six-Year-Old Veteran.

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 "THE BREAD AND MEAT" PROBLEM AND MORE THAN THAT It is not possible in any sort of civilization to separate the social, civil and economic interests of a people. The sacrifice, or neglect, of the one makes for the sacrifice or neglect of the three. Orderly and just administration of civil affairs is the very heart of the whole question of people living together in any sort of association of mutual interests. When the editor of The Negro World was in China he was told that some of the wealthiest Chinamen made the poorest and shabbiest appearance in order to conceal their wealth from the thieving administrators of their government; and this policy is said to be very general in Asiatic States, because they are so corruptly administered. In his Liberty Hall address Sunday night, August 17, as published in The Negro World of August 23, President-General Garvey laid wonderful stress on the economic urge that the Negro people face everywhere, as to the people of other races, wherever they are. It is the one urge that has got mankind thinking more than any other, and most of it is caused by bad administration of civil affairs, excessive taxation and monopoly of food production and distribution; the war debts of the nations eating the life out of the people, along with reckless expenditures for the maintenance of the machinery of civil administration. High wages amount to little when the cost of living is greater than the wages of labor, and the social life of the masses must suffer in their food supplies and wearing apparel and housing wherever this condition exists. President Garvey touched the nerve of the world, which has become highly sensitive from excessive rawness, caused by bad administration and monopoly in the essentials to sustain life, when he said, "The problem of the age is bread and meat. That is what men are fighting for today; that is what races are fighting for today; that is what nations are fighting for today—bread and meat—and in the fight for bread and meat men give no quarter and take none." In the same place, and upon the same occasion, Vice-President William L. Sherrill said: "What is the Universal Negro Improvement Association trying to do? We are trying to turn over to Negroes the tools of production, to put the Negro in a position not only to employ himself but to own the very tools of production that give opportunity for his employment. It can in a sense be said that the Negro owns the tools of production today, but the Negro in the true sense is only the tool of production. It is true, as was said here a night or two ago, that the Negro in the West Indies produces practically all of the products that come from the West Indies, from South Africa and from Africa as a whole, but he is only a tool of production. He comes in just like the steam shovel or what not. But when we get ships owned by Negroes, ships will be able to go to various parts of the world and buy from Negroes who are now forced to sell at any price the other fellow wants the things they produce. We then must have our shoe manufacturing establishments, our clothing manufacturing establishments, and all of these things mean employment for black men." That is to say, it is more than a bread and meat problem; it is the problem of having our own little and big stores, our own banking and insurance concerns, our own organized import and export houses, our own labor organizations to protect our own wage earners, tenant farmers, farm laborers and independent farmers, with the conviction that we must buy and sell among ourselves to the utmost extent. Wherever there are five hundred-or a thousand Negroes in a given place they should be able to buy and sell most that they produce and consume among themselves. And we have got to learn to do it, and right now is the best possible time to begin to do it. ALLIES HAVE DECEIVED AFRICAN TRIBES AND PROTECT RUM TRAFFIC FOUR years after the World War democracy is not safe for democracy, and is far more unsafe for persons and things than when the German Kaiser bolted for Holland to save his neck, instead of marching triumphantly into Paris. Something has gone wrong. President Wilson's Fourteen Points have not a peg left to stand upon. The multiplication of small States in Europe has made for insecurity and unrest rather than for peace and security. The world may not be upside down, but somebody has so explained the nations that they hardly know whether they are standing upon their feet or their heads. As the Scotch poet sang it, "The best laid plans of men and mike oft go awry." The wall of discontent over the outcome of the World War, like the sound of the British war drum, is heard around the world. The Devil of Mischief appears to have the upper hand and to be powerful enough to stir up strife which, like prairie fire, crop up in another place as often as they are put out. What is it? might appropriately ask the confused people, as if standing at the base of the Tower of Babel, but echo appears to answer only, "What is it?" So runs the mad world away. Our esteemed contemporary, the Gold Coast Times, a very ably edited native newspaper in the English language, voices the general discontent of the natives of Africa at "the failure to fulfill the expectations which prominent allied statesmen held out to the colored races during the war as regards 'self determination'," and in one or two other matters, which "has not tended to enhance the white man's prestige among them." The British have disappointed the natives in the hopes of self-government held out to them; the German colonies have been parceled among the Allies with no regard to the rights of the natives: Togoland has been torn violently in two, one part going to France and the other to Britain; the same thing being done in the Cameroons, "with the result that tribal cohesion, which had existed for centuries, was destroyed in several places." The importation and sale of intoxicating liquors, which was kept in some sort of check during the war, has been allowed to grow to dangerous proportions. "The white trader will have his profits out of the disreputable trade even if the native suffers," says the Gold Coast Times, which goes on to remind the Allied Powers that the Africans have long memories and may not answer the call for help when it comes to them again as they did in the World War. This is no idle threat. The native Africans are slowly learning that, as the Universal Negro Improvement Association maintains and insists, they have nothing to expect from the white Europeans except civil usurpation, overlordship and tyranny and economic exploitation in their labor and extraordinary taxation, to support white traders and white officeholders, and that they must move to do something themselves to change the existing order or they will sink lower and lower wherever in Africa or the West Indies they are covered by an European flag. It is always true that "who would be free himself must first strike the blow." NATIONAL WOMAN'S PARTY DRAWS THE COLOR LINE INGRATITUDE is said to be the basest of crimes. Jesus must have felt that way when he came to his own and they not only received him not, but crucified him, and Julius Caesar must have felt that way when Brutus, his closest friend, not only led the mob in assassinating him but wielded the fatal dagger with which he was dispatched. Every man who has been undone by his friends or by friends whom he trusted must have felt that way, and there are plenty of good men living who owe their misfortunes to their closest friends who deceived them in the crisis of their affairs. Some such feeling must possess the Negro people upon reading of the incident at Newport, New York, August 18, at memorial services for the late Mrs. Inez Milholland Boissevain, under the auspices of the National Woman's party, when the three distinguished Negroes who were guests of Mr. John E. Milholland, the splendid father of Mrs. Boissevain, were discriminated against by the management in the assignment of speakers, because, as one woman expressed it, they did not want to mar their prospects of electing some women to Congress in the South and because as Miss Alice Paul of Washington, the President, said: "This was arranged as a demonstration of women, and it was no place for colored people to speak." That was adding insult to injury, as the impudent woman with a Jewish name indirectly declared that Negro women are not women. Mr. Milholland promptly rebuked the two white women with the following manly statement: "Friends of Inez," he said, with obvious emotion. "I am her father, and I want to say to you now what I had not intended to say, until now as I stand here beside her grave. I feel it my duty to speak out. If I did not, I think her spirit would rise up from the grave and say to you: 'Dad' why were you afraid?' And so I want to remind you that in the first suffrage parade Inez herself demanded that the colored women be allowed to march; and now today we were told that it would mar the program to have these guests of mine speak. I have nothing to ask except that Inez believed in equal rights for everybody." The confused and abashed women put their heads together and decided to ask Dr. Emmett J. Scott, one of the three Negro invited guests, to speak and he did so with ironic, and sarcastic directness. The New York Evening Bulletin, a Democratic newspaper, and Heywood Brown, the famous columnist of the New York World, characterize the action of the National Woman's party in the language of severest condemnation. The Negro World characterizes the action of the National Woman's party, under the presidency of Miss Alice Paul, as the basest of ingratiude because one of the strongest advocates of woman suffrage was Mr. Frederick Douglass, who stood side by side with Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Miss Susan B. Anthony, the pioneers in the agitation of woman's rights, and when there appeared no hope that the cause would ever succeed. And all of the leading Negro men and women of the anti-slavery days stood with Mr. Douglass in championing the cause of women at a time when they themselves had only a slave status in American law and public opinion. HEALTH TOPICS By DR. B., S. HERBEN of the New York Tuberculosis Association Free Treatment for Cancer. There is a new institute for the treatment of cancer. Commissioner Coler not long ago announced that "The New York Cancer Institute" has been established and is fully equipped with all the new appliances for the treatment of this dreaded disease. The poor of the city and those who cannot afford to pay for some of the more expensive forms of treatment can receive here the full benefit of such things as radium and other therapeutic materials, free of charge. No doubt there, are some among my readers who know of patients suffering from cancer. If you do know of such a person, who has been neglecting to go for help because of the slenderness of his purse, tell him of this good news. In these days there are many discoveries which tend to make some of the heretofore, most hopeless of diseases, less hopeless, but sometimes the substances which are used are so difficult to get that it makes the use of them expensive. It is as though some lucky person who had the good fortune to and the magic rug would go sailing away through the air above the cottes, and the mountains, across deserts and over the storm-tossed seas, to arrive easily at the magnificent palace where all the desires of the heart can be satisfied, while to those who have no nugr" there must be the long toil, the high obstacles, the endless days on trackless sands, shipwreck and, in the end, failure. In these days, when the heart of man is not hag, and when the scientists are doing their heat to put the means of health into the hands of ALL who need, there is no longer need for magic nor is there pause for delay. Many are the institutions in which the best of modern knowledge and skill are laid at the feet of those who suffer. Pass the news along! Give to some discouraged person the knowledge that there is a possibility of relief, if not cure, at the new institute located at 124 East 59th Street. The clinic hours are from 2 to 6 p.m. Emancipation occurred in the remaining British colonies, in Portuguese and in Spanish America after slavery had existed there for centuries; but the United States required only eighty-four years of independence to rid itself of the inheritance or inquity by Europe.—Norfolk Journal and Guide. BAD MANNERS ALWAYS LEAD TO PLENTY OF TROUBLE By T. Thomas Fortune. The French have a reputation for being the most polite and obliging people in the world. Perhaps they are. I have not had the pleasure of visiting in France, but I have met many Frenchmen in my travels and in my work as a journalist. I have uniformly found them to be most courteous and obliging. In traveling I found them to be approachable and amiable; in striking contrast to the. Britisher on his travels, who appears never to forget that he is an Englishman, a shade better than other people, who must keep strangers at arm's length and have as little to say as possible, for fear of hurting his dignity. Dignity is a splendid thing, in its place and properly managed. But it is always oppressive, often repels rather than invites respect, and sometimes, overshadows and submerges those who have it in too malignant form. The Frenchman has dignity too, but it is of the unobtrusive sort, which does not stick out in his walk and his talk, as is often the misfortune of the British globe trotter. When I was in Japan I thought the Japanese among the most polite and obliging people imaginable. They are not very talkative with strangers, but they have a fetching way that invites the respect and confidence of the stranger. In this respect they are on equal footing with the Frenchmen. In the large cities of Japan the stranger always feels that he is among friends, that the Japanese are kindly disposed towards him and glad that he is a visitor in their country; the public officials are all courtesy, as are also those who cater to the accommodation and amusement of the public. The American white person on his travels is often loud and boisterous and sometimes vulgar, just as he is at home, and he is not always courteous and obliging. He expects too much of others. Bad manners always lead to plenty of trouble. Race and color have little to do with the matter. It is simply a matter of conduct by which people are usually judged. Especially is this true of them in public places, where there are strangers who observe closely the actions and words of those about them. I have noticed that black and off-color people attract more attention in any situation than others; not always because of their color, but mostly because of their conduct. We have a great many off-color people among us. They are all shades of color, from black to near white. Their color marks them out wherever they go, whether they say or do anything or not, and the sensation is never a pleasant one. It is not pleasant to be a marked person, and when color is considered a mark and used against those who possess it, it often leads to trouble, especially in white countries, such trouble as often overtakes white travelers in Africa and Asia. There is much complaint that the Negro people are not as courteous and obliging in their manners as they used to be. It has grown worse in this respect since so many of the Southern migrants have settled in Northern and Western communities. Many of them are accured of rudness and vulgarity in public places, and the police have been instructed to double their vigilance and "shoot to kill" in more than one Northern city, because of the conduct of Negroes in interfering with the privileges and immunities of others. We have got to make good. It is up to us. Let us, therefore, put our best-foot forward, with our sacrificing any feature of our privileges and immunities. Bad, rude, insolent, vulgar manners always lead to trouble, and plenty of it. Let us strive to get as far away from such as possible. It will be best for us. And let us keep on good terms with the police—if they will let us. Lady Bruce Thanks Friends In Florida a planner once supported a "Morvan" missionary detailed for labor among slaves.—Norfolk Journal and Guide. 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 is against rich or poor whites taking advantage of Negro women. It believes in the spiritual Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man. It believes in the social and political physical separation of all people to the extent that they promote their own ideals and civilization, with the privilege of trading and doing business with each other. It believes in the promotion of a strong and powerful Negro nation. It believes in the rights of all men. EDITORIAL OPINION OF THE NEGRO PRESS The investment made by the leaders of the various Christian denominations for the purpose of educating their ministers is wise, timely, and compensatory on the largest scale. The ministers are leaders of our people, in a very substantial way. Appending a new era as we are, it is of the utmost importance that a large degree of intelligence be added to the conservation and conservation of the ministry of the race. Goodness and piety are essential elements in the life of the minister and these qualities go a long way in the direction of success in ministerial work; but piety and gentle manners cannot be a proper substitute for intellect.—Nashville Clarion. Colored women should not forget that they are citizens of the United States of America and the privileges are unique indeed. The Nineteenth Amendment is the Second Emancipation through which the womanhood of America has been revealed and rededicated. Your womanly sardness and enduring protection and loftiness are associated in and with the suffrage—Red Bank Echo. In this most critical period of racial adjustments it would be well for our people as a whole to be careful in their department in public places; he courtesus, reserved and refined. Smile but do not gain, laugh but do not giggle or guffaw. Talk, but not loudly. Guard your own rights and at the same time be careful not to trespass upon the rights of others. Prove your culture and refinement by ignoring insulting remarks and slurs, and above all do not commit the same offences towards others. And teach your children the true American spirit, "to not give more than they expect to take", and at all times, respect the elders, ladies especially and at no time be the first to initiate the thought of differences because of color—Pacific Defender. Are you a good citizen? You may think this a foolish question to ask a man or woman who has lived a lifetime in America, and perhaps that entire period within the limits of one town or city. Quite naturally the person to whom a question might be addressed would indigently reply in affirmative, and b. or c. she might be justified in doing so; but, are you a good citizen? Yes or no? Tampa Bulletin. Character, for some, is not hard to get, not hard to keep, and not easy to Oldest. Negro Business Concern in the Country By the Batalh News Service Perhaps the oldest Negro business corporation in the country in the Book Concern of the A. M. E. Church, located at Philadelphia. This was organized in 1816 by Richard Allen, the founder of the African Methodist Episcopal Church. In 1817, it published the "Book of Doctrines and Discipline of the A. M. E. Church," which has been revised nearly every four years since and published by the same Book Concern. But it was not until 1855 that the Book Concern was incorporated under the laws of the State of Pennsylvania to do a publishing and printing business, particularly of religious literature. At that time the Christian Recorder was printed under the suspices of the lose. In the acquisition of character, wealth often acts as a hindrance, and culture may tend to dull the sense of character; it grows more easily in a small town than in the big city; it is nurtured; more easily among humble folk than among the gay lights. In all generations it is success; in all generations, real bias and happiness follow it; in all generations, it finds great praise, and honor, and glory.—Detroit Independent. Have you stopped to consider the more advanced the woman gets the more centurylized the woman reaches the last she thinks of domestic life. Today she has the vote. She is managing stores. She is doing the work of laborers. She occupies the stool of a bookkeeper, the accountant, the lawyer, the doctor, the dentist, the salesman, becoming the banker, and every day she is getting away from domestic life. If the world is to keep populated, who is to fill the domestic chair? In every generation we see the woman getting farther and farther from this duty. To prove this argument, just look around your coorie of friends—James A. Ross, in the Buffalo American. What the thousands of migrating Negroes did, must be given serious thought by the business and professional Negroes, as well as the farmers of the South. If there is a well laid plan to discourage and intimidate the Negroes in the South—and no one conversant with the conditions there would doubt the statement that such a plan is in operation—then the leaders, including the Negroes in business, would do well to do some planning themselves. The thousands, of Negroes who have left the South have pointed the way. When 4,000,000 more Negroes leave the South, it will undoubtedly make it better for the remaining four or five millions.—Washington Tribune. John C. Daney, executive secretary of the Detroit Urban League, in authority for the statement that in the great automobile center fighting is the Negroes' greatest hindrance. One of the large plants where 6,500 Negroes are employed has a record of a fight a day, and this record of brawling and cutting keeps the black laborer there always on the same level. Employment managers cannot advance a class of irresponsible, fighting laborers to responsible or skilled positions, for the energy they should be putting into their work, they expand quarrelling and cutting fellow workmen—Kansas City Call. Book Concern of the A. M. E. Church, having been established in 1852. This is today the oldest. Negro newspaper published in America. At the time the Book Concern was established as well as when the Christian Responder was, established, the great mass of colored people was in slavery. "It took a great deal of vision for the African Methodist to start a newspaper and publishing house among an illiterate people. But it was only a few years later when they also started a university at Wilberforce, Ohio, also before slavery was abolished in this country—another evidence of prophetic vision: The Book Concern had its bpse and downa. It was nearly always an debt and in spite of the various collections taken for it in the churches, it seemingly made but slow progress until in recent years when its debt was wiped out and a future foundation laid for progress. There are plans now for building the largest publishing house owned by the race in Virginia. NEW YORK DETERMINED TO PUT THE SHIPPING PROGRAM OVER MORE SUPPORT FOR BLACK CROSS NAVIGATION AND TRADING CO. FORTHCOMING AS LEADERS EXPLAIN ITS HIGH AIMS AND OBJECTS LADY HENRIETTA VINTON DAVIS, BACK FROM WEST INDIES AND CENTRAL AMERICA, RECEIVES OVATION—TELLS OF THE SPLENDID MORALE OF THE MEMBERS THERE ELOQUENT ADDRESSES BY HON. RUDOLPH SMITH, HON. G. E. CARTER AND HON. MILTON VAN LOWE LIBERTY HALL, New York, Sunday Night, Aug. 24.—Every inch of space in Liberty Hall was monopolized tonight and an overflow crowd surged outside of the building contenting themselves with merely gazing with admiration on the multitude of eager persons on the inside despite the hot weather sat and earnestly listened to the inspiring speeches delivered from the platform. The executive officials were present in full force and rounds of applause greeted Lady Henrietta Vinton Davis, third assistant President-General, when she ascended the platform, having just returned this afternoon from abroad in the interests of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Looking in the pink of health and with her characteristic eloquence she delivered the greetings of the enthusiastic followers of the organization in Hayti, Costa Rica, Panama, Puerto Barrios, Jamaica, Belize, British Honduras, Guatemala. She took the opportunity to express in the most commendable terms the high morale of the people in those places towards the U. N. I. A., and the enthusiasm with which they received the news of the purchase of the first ship by the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company. After a short musical program was rendered, speeches were delivered by Hon. G. E. Carter, Hon. Rudolph Smith, and Lady Davis. Hon. Marcus Garvey announced that on Sunday, the 31st, the closing scenes of the convention—the greatest ever held by the organization—would be enacted at Carnegie Hall, at 3 o'clock in the afternoon when all the work of the convention would be reviewed and the rolls of petitions containing four million signatures of American Negroes, members of the U. N. I. A., petitioning President Coolidge and the Congress of America for support of the plan of establishing a government for Negroes in Africa, would be exhibited. Then at Liberty Hall in the evening at 8 o'clock, the solemn and most significant ceremony of canonizing the Virgin Mary as the Black Madonna, and Jesus Christ as the Black Man of Sorrows, would take place. Following are the speeches: Hon. G. E. Carter, Secretary-General said, "I want to talk on the subject 'Men solve their problems when they really work on them.' The thought that presented itself to me was that life affords many problems because of diversified opinions and because of man's greed and selfishness. But no problem, however great and perplexing, or difficult, can remain without being solved if worked at, if it is real, unadulterated and has been so sifted as to be without dress. In the process of mining gold and in the manufacture of golden articles, there is a refining process whereby there is the elimination of the dross or waste and the gold is left. So it is in life. If men really want to solve their problems they have to eliminate everything that will tend to affect the proper solution. We have to face facts and in facing, may be able to bring about a solution which, will not only be satisfying, but will be beneficial to all concerned. I am thinking of the problem that confronts this particular time. It is nothing but one sincere desire; one manful effort; one determined stand; one longing of black men and women, that they may have freedom. And freedom cannot come to us unless we understand upon what freedom is based. No one can have the freedom of which Getting Skinnier Every Day Something Must Be Done and Done Darn Quick, Too Tens of thousands of thin, run-down men- yes, and women, too- are getting discouraged- are giving up all hope of ever being able to take on flesh and look healthy and strong. All such people can stop worrying and top worrying and start to smile right now for McCoy's God Liver Oil Table, which any druggist will tell you all about, is putting flesh on hosts of skinny folks every day. Often, tired, weak and discouraged, put on 15 pounds in 15 minutes and feel fine. start to smile right now for McCoy's Cod Liver Oil Tablets, which any druggist will tell you all about, is putting flesh on hosts of skinny folks every day. One woman, tired, weak and anorexic, put on 15 pounds, in five weeks and feels fine. We all know that Cod Liver Oil is full of flesh producing vitamins, but many people take its horrible smell and flaky taste, and because it often upsets the stomach. McCoy's Cod Liver Oil Tablets are as easy to take as candy, and if any thin person don't gain at least five pounds in thirty days you mightugust with only 60 cents a boz. Ask any live pharmacist anywhere. "Got McCoye," the original and gemine Cad Liver Oil Tablet. I am speaking unless he understands that there can be no restraint, no curbing nor dampen, placed upon it. I am talking of that freedom which will being one into that situation in life, and into the affairs of mankind, a guarantion of every liberty and the possession of sufficient force and power as to assure him of its full enjoyment. I am talking of the kind of liberty that is to be found and expressed not while we sojourn in another's country, but in our own homes. In the home you are lord and master and are privileged to do as you please. Therefore I am talking of the freedom which cannot come to us as we sojourn in this western world, in spite of the privileges that may be granted us; the emoluments placed in our way and the opportunities presented to us here or in the West Indies or elsewhere. And so the problem that confronts us is, the expression of that kind of liberty that will prove to the world beyond a doubt that black men and women have a right to desire the things that every man and woman desires; and that they will fight like hell until such things shall come to them. I am talking of the kind of freedom that shall grip the hearts of men and women in such a manner that they shall not rest at any halfway house or station, but shall go forward by leaps and bounds redoubling their efforts, encouraged and inspired by the desire; and determined and conscious of the fact that the only real freedom to be found is in their motherland. Africa. Must Be Fought For And this will not be given to us. The truth is this: nothing is ever given; the things of value are those fought for and won. It is the ability to go into the face of, untoward circumstances and wrest from them, the victory which will bring freedom to you. Let us look and see what this victory is like. If it is real we will understand and know that it is to be best expressed in our, endeavors. Very few men and women of color can be real in our present environment. We are part of, and the lives we live are expressive of, this environment. The man who has grown up under American institutions who has been influenced by American civilization cannot be a freeman in America. The man who has grown up under English influence cannot reflect the freedom of which I speak, but he is part of the English influence and his every act will be indicative of the fact. But if you understand the principles of the U. N. L. A.; if you are determined, and I believe you are; if you are sincere, and I think you are, judging by your noble efforts and by the determination, that is written on your faces, you will be able to stand one day and convince the world that you will not be satisfied until you have liberty wherewith you may be able to stand and be rightly understood and judged before the united intelligence of the whole world. You must bear in mind that real work calls for the laying aside of false ideas and conceptions and the living up to an ideal, that for which we are striving, and which not- THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, AUGUST 20, 1950 ing else but nationhood. It is the expression on the part of determined men and women that they will not stop until they shall be recognized as citizens of a mighty nation having its capital on the shores of Africa. We are determined by the power already given us; by the grace of God, and by our determination, to achieve and succeed, and nothing shall throttle or impede us, or keep us from going on, because we know that the cause of right shall be heard and that men and women are anxious to express the right in the form of their lives and so this right will have its right of way until it shall eventually triumph. Struggle For Existence We must also bear in mind that in the realization of our ideal we must try to secure our economic and industrial advancement, which, in the final analysis, means the struggle for meat and bread; and in this world where there is competition and the desire to exceed in certain directions, we will be able to play our part. This, however, cannot be done unless you have a clear vision and realize the responsibility to yourself and to the whole human family, and by following a well directed plan. You who are members of the association are most fortunate in this respect, because for more than five years you have had the way blazed for you; you have had the clarion-horn life, howling wilderness sounding the alarm and calling you to attention, and if you have not heard or heeded the call, it is because of your own disinterestness, your lack of sympathy or dullness of comprehension, or of your desire not to be ranked with those who are determined to go forward and help to put over this program. What does an industrial and economic development mean to you and to me? It simply means that there must come a time, and the time is now, when you have to fiddle every effort, when you must gird your loom and put on your fighting paraphernalia, in order to fight a successful battle in the sense that you pile up dollars and cents that ships might be secured and sail the briny deep; that every ship shall be paid for, and that you could point with the pride of owner's ship at them as the result of your cooperation and the concentration of black men and women, and that they will express themselves in such a way that the world will stand and know that they are willing to make the fullest measure of sacrifice that they may have the freedom whereof they may be proud. In conclusion, I say, if you understand the purpose and purport of this brief message, you will be encouraged tonight to put forth such efforts that those who may be here simply from curiosity or to criticize will go from this place impressed with the concerted action and determination of the men and women who have come into the knowledge of a new life; who, because of the proxemarks of the association and the leadership of the Hon. Marcus Garvey, have been, as it were, reborn. They shall go forth from this place understanding and knowing that we are new Negroes who will fight every circumstance until they shall stand resplendent in the light and glory of the freedom they have secured and which shall only be enjoyed when they shall rest their feet on the tombphall of African soul. I thank you. HON. RUDOLPH SMITH'S ADDRESS Before I enter on my subject tonight, I must say we feel pleased to have Lady Davia back with us. As one of the ardent workers for this cause, we cannot help saying something in her honor, and I think we rejoice in having so splendid a character with us again. It is not an easy job going to these parts and coming back to speak to you, though she arrived today. I am ever ready to play my part and play it well. I know that I have many more years to go, and I hope within another decade we can see our dreams realized; we can see the land of Africa opening up to us, in every direction and our ships go sailing into those ports, establishing commercial exchanges, putting up our export and import houses, having our distributing houses by which our people can be supplied with the necessities of life. My subject tonight is "The Negro: A Great Factor to Be Reckoned With in World Readjustment." The Negro is really an important factor to be reckoned with. I will not go as far back as the Horn, Milton Van Lowe, but I will take you back for a few centuries—how the Negro was brought into this western world to tool for the enrichment of the other race group. The Negro has been emancipated for over 60 years now under the British and nearly 60 years under the Americans. Since then the Negro has been acquaint ing himself with all of the things that go to make up nationhood. The Negro has told on the field of labor; the Negro has found himself on the agricultural field toiling by day and by night. He has tilled the soil and has made it possible to operate in that direction for the benefit of the white race; but the Negro has not been considered as a serious factor in world affairs. The Negro Is Here Great Britain, of the great governments that are to be considered at this particular time, having in her jurisdiction millions of Negroes, never thought that the Negro would one day rebel as he is rebelling now. In the Southern States of America the white man never for one minute thought that the Negro would rebel as he is rebelling today, but the Negro having played an important part in the mighty conflict—1014-18, and in the last decade, having traveled in many parts of the world, has realized much to the best interest of his race. Once upon a time the Negro was content to labor on the field, and receive his small pittance to sustain life, and that was all there was to it. He did not seem to realize his potent possibilities. He realized the power of the white man and every time he tried to unshackle himself from the difficulties around him, he found barriers on every side, but the Negro has come upon the scene, the new Negro who realizes that whatever white man can do, whatever yellow man can do, whatever brown man can do, Negroes can also do. That Negro is here today. He is moving in your midgut. The Negro race, 400,000 men strong, is clamoring for something and realizing that 400,000 men with their mind on one goal, must gain that goal he is determined to achieve and rise to the heights of his potential possibilities. The speaker then dwelt on the important part that must be placed by Negro leadership and said it was heartening that the masses were exhibiting sound sense in refitting hand-picked, leaders such as Du Bois and following real leaders. HeGod at the Way of Du Bois even being classified as a leader since as he himself said, he as at the lead of an intellectual, educated group which stood in no need of leaders, but the laborer from Mississippi, from Louisiana and from Google, was looking to the Hon. Marcus Garvey for light and guidance. Determined to Take His Place The Negro was present in the Universal Negro Improvement Association in his millions, because he wanted the world to know and understand that he was determined to take his place in the readjustment of things. He was disafflicted with the old order which was no order, and was determined to reach out along all avenues, and rightly be held started with ships. Ships were the foundation upon which national greetings would be built. Just put ships on the coast stimulating trade between various communities of Negro, and bring up the people of these communities and such a solidarity among Negro would be accomplished as was dreamed of, and with solidarity in connexion prosperity and power. He ended with a stirring appeal to time present to support the Black the Navigatlon and Trading Coord LADY DAVIS SPEAKS Lady Hemelita Vinton Davis spoke as follows. I did not object to speak to you tonight after just having arrived in the city from the long road jump from New Orleans, but as I look over this vast sea of faces and as I hear the inspiring speakers who preceded me, I felt the thrill of Liberty Hall and could not deny my off the playground of saying good evening to you. You not know that I am pleased to be here. I have wanted to be here since the first day of August, my spirit was here with you every day, every hour thinking of you and wondering what was going on, but I knew that everything was all right with our great leader at the helm. I was pleased to know of the grand procession on the first of August and the splendid display of the Jubiles, of the Court of Ethiopia, the other evening, and I being to you tonight the heartfelt greetings of the people of Hayitat, of Panama, of Costa Rica of Jamaica, and of all the places down there; Relize British Honduras, Puerto Barrios Guatemala, and the great city of New Orleans. They are all working in union with this great organization. It is marvellous to see the spirit of our people—this great tidal wave of black humanity that is rolling towards the shores of Africa and eventually will bring forth the redemption of our fatherland. It was a great pleasure even though the visit was short, to visit the countries that I have spoken of; a great pleasure to come in contact with this enthusiastic people who are not tired of working for the Universal Negro Improvement Association; who are not tired of making sacrifices for this great organization and who haled with enthusiasm, the ship that they learned was on exhibition here in New York. They are hoping that some day it would sail towards the West Indies; that some day soon it would stop at Honduras; some day in the new future it would sail to Puerto Barrios and keep sailing on throughout all the countries of South and Central America, that the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association may once see the colors of the Red, Black and the Green up on the seven seas of the world....

Order MOBILIZING MONEY POWER OF THE NEGRO RACE Cash and Credit Needed by Our Business People and How to Make These Possible Here and Elsewhere Shown by Mr. Spaulding (By The Associated Negro Press) CHICAGO, III. Aug. 28—A report that was more than a report, that was an answer and a challenge, was contained in the address of C. C. Spurlingh, president of the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance company, before delegates to the convention of the National Negro Business League. Mr. Spurlingh's report was made as chairman of the committee appointed at the last meeting of the league for the purpose of organizing a financial service corporation in the interests of Negro business. Mr. Spurlingh's address covered the formation of such an organization, the National Negro Finance Corporation, a million dollar concern, brought together in Durham, North Carolina, the year. His speech, with his list of accomplishments, was also an answer to critics of the league who have said that he did not done enough in a constructive way. Dr. Robert R. Moton, president of the league, conceived the finance corporation idea and is its president. Mr. Spoolding declared that the National Finance Corporation had already arrested the attention and commanded the support of Negroes all over the world. Letters are pouring into Tuskegee and Durham daily from all over the country and form heirs' seeking in formation a set of its operations and the price of its work be served. I want to first discuss your mind of some of the ideas and epiphones which some of you might have formed in reference to this corporation. It is organized for service. As a child and cooperative agency of the National New York Poor. It is its purpose to provide welfare capital for individuals, teams and corporations to seek and present our new opportunities for profit off the new developments in the community, but to help improve the lives of the poor. Our work is to provide individual and community opportunities for the poor to live a better life. We will function to make the lives of the poor better about a new but still competitive and more economical independent business and property corporation with special cooperation and coordination to see the best possible opportunities for party parties in the management and control of the business. We will talk to them positively and to foster and advance by every effort to make the management with good benefits, the financial and social development of New York. All of these things come under the challenge of travel, which will have to be controllable to those who are paid to render it. So Nice to others, the people we pay to the spouses we receive on earth, and those people we are told receive, rendered which did not being profitable return. Almost every day, as we time and listen on in the Negro world about us, we hear N O S or Macedonian calls: "Come over and help us best we perish." It comes to every Negro credit agency in the country, from men and Women of affairs, churches, schools, farms, businesses, and professions, industries, banks, inurance companies, cab companies, etc. We cannot be at peace and enjoy ease and prosperity while these conditions obtain. A challenge and call to action comes to our. We have accepted the challenge and committed ourselves to the task of mobilizing the money power of our group, to the end that financial belief might be carried and distributed to those who are both honest and efficient, but lack credit. For this purpose, the National Negro Finance Corporation was organized. All over the country today various groups are creating and storing up credit reserves in their numerous reservoirs, for the purpose of sustaining their members in emergencies. Then, too, big business, industries, professions, and agriculture are making such credit contacts and connections with banks, insurance companies and other credit agencies throughout the country, so that both cash and credit may be obtained upon immediate request. "The Negro is not more able to weather the economic storms than other groups; hence, he must build a credit builark for contingencies. No one has yet taken any insurance ing due on the ship; let us show the world our undaunted spirit; let us show the world that the Negro who has sacrificed for 300 years is willing now to sacrifice for himself and for that nation that he shall found in Africa.

These have been no copyrights taken out or monopolies claimed against failures. "Most of you remember and were perhaps interested in the Liberian loan of $5,000,000. A large delegation of Liberians accompanied by a group of Americans spent much time and money in the United States seeking a loan from the United States Government, only to be refused finally. Immediately after this, a delegation of Texas farmers went to New York and secured $200,000,000 from finance corporations in one week. During the early part of this year when a wheat slump came in the Northwest with such a terrible loss to farmers it caused 265 banks to fall with liabilities over $100,000,000, banking millions of persons. The financiers of this great city and New York were around." They called upon the government for aid and success. The government refused as first, but after much persistence on the part of interested credit agencies throughout the country, the Agricultural Credit Association was formed with a capital of $100,000,000. The newspaper reported that a group of Chicago and New York financiers made a commitment or subscription to this stock of $100,000,000, and the government subscribed the other $100,000,000 and sent into the Northwest its Secretary of Commerce, Herbert Howe, and its chairman of the war finance corporation, Europe Miers. They were authorized and directed, not only to furnish cash and credit for stabilizing the existing conditions, but to establish cooperating marketing associations to present a repetition of these conditions. Up to this time, this Agricultural Credit Association has lent more than $5,000,000 to Northwest banks. They have deposited in other banks more than $10,000,000. These banks, in turn, have swapped out their frozen credits and refunded the loans of individual merchants and farmers. "The National Negro Finance Corporation will function along similar lines, and we are persuaded to believe that to program is long and broad enough and sufficiently attractive goals, and profitable to commenced earnest and active support." Though black freemen and white advocates of children were never unknown in the South, though Negro slaves and slave defenders of slavery existed in the North the South was closed, to slaves the North allied with freedom. From 1850 to 1853 the principles of two opposing civilizations were laid for the possession of a Virgin monument. Norfolk Journal and Guide. Garvey and the Garvey Movement Stand Pat From the Indianapolis Freezing Garvey's thirty-day convention is now in full swing. Last Friday, according to the daily paper, 9,000 be decked and enthusiastic members of this great organization paraded the streets of New York, culminating at Carnegie Hall where, under the spell of Garvey's obequence, they laughed, cried, and applauded until the two small hours of the morning. There was a time when the colored press and colored men of thought winked and laughed at Garvey and his movement. Today, however, there is a strange silence. If speech is resorted to, the words are low and guarded. Why this change? The answer is, that man of thought realized that Garvey has a large and ever-increasing following and no man can be ignored or laughed at when he commands such loyalty and support as is back of the Garvey movement. Whether Garvey is right or wrong, one thing is certain, and that is, the man and his movement is destined to play an important part in the thought life of America. Garvey, perhaps, is sincere and honest. Seeing and hearing the man, we believe he is at least honest and because of that he has attracted a large following. The lack of real honest and courteous leadership in our group is doubtless a powerful contributing factor in Garvey's success. Our so-called leaders and thinkers need to know that the people, are discontented; that, the masses are defending a new deal, that they hunger for honest leadership; in other words, that the masses have elected to do their own thinking and are looking to some Moses, forgetful of self or selfish interests to lead them out of darkness into light. If they have found such a leader, or if they think they have found such a leader in the Horn, Marcus Garvey who, after all is to blame, Garvey or our so-called leaders. We would do well to pause and study Garvey's program, study the man. If we find him honest and his program good, adopt it and follow where he leads. If on the other hand, we find him ignorant, dishonest or insincere and his program dangerous, we should, with equal courage, fight it out if it is impotent and but a name, one thing, we might as well realize now, Garvey and his movement cannot be ignored. te Bet a Ys a ag 8 __THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, AUGUST sy tese i sn - ri 5 ae ~ z= ee —— name ee eee _— eer: a ee ’ eee q g —— aq an : : E } cm.

RUDOLPH SMITH DISCOURSE EOQUENTLY ON RACE BUILDING VIA COMMERCE AND INDUSTRY. | LIBERTY HALLE, Sunday Afternoon, Aug. 24.—About two thou- sand people assembled in a mass meeting: this aftérnoon at 3.30 o'clock, called for the special purpose of boosting the Black Cross Nayigation Company, making a drive for funds to operate the first ghip cltesdy acquired and to make efforts to secure additional ships. Every one present was an enthusiast over the steamship dea and listened with undivided attention to the speakers who explained at :length and in detail the tremendous opportunities which a line of ‘steamships operated by Negroes Srould create for the race. and be the greatest factor in making it commercially and industrially in- dependent. When the time came for them to express their cnthu- siasm in a tangible. way, a large number made their way to the secretaries’ tables and. kept them busy recording their loans and con- tributions to the Black Cross Navigation and Steamship Co. ~ The speakers were: Hon. Marcus Garvey, Hon. William Sherrill, Hon. Randolph Smith and Miss De Mena, lady secretary of the Chicago division. : Following is the text of the speeches: MR. GARVEY’S ADORESS 2 ¢}———————— ‘Mr. Garvey said: We are going t make this a Sunday afternoon sexsjor ‘of the delegates and members to apen} and do their. bit for the great enter: prise that-we have before us.co.whict we are Dullding our hopce for carrying out of our great Induetrial program, the program that we have discuared and Tegislaze for during our, conven- ton. ‘You all know that !t ts the duty of each and every race.to In every way safeguard ite own interests.

To cope with It you have to study the different phanen. ‘Without induatry there can be no Ife. according to the Inwa and demands of our modern materialiam.

Those were days when we lived In the primitive atate, there was no need for exertion. During the Gaytime we could find shelter under the Deautiful trees, at night we would eacend into our caves to recura our- selves from the wild neasta and wild animals that atray, There wan no eed to Kindle the fireatda because, Nature had an abundance of Fruit and vegetation on which we could feed, but thoee Gays are Kona never to return If you live today you have to buy rood. you have to buy water, you hive to Duy shelter, you have to buy everything you need. Nature does not freely give up to anch and every one the things we used to enjoy. These things are con- trolled by agenoies and powers of own- erantp. and if you desire them you have to purchase them by the exchange of the realm, the exchange of the land.

TERRY, 8. | 20 Reabery M., Newark, 320.8. A | Marcus Garvey has dreamt the dream of the Negro's salvation. He has greeted it in every detail and from every angle; he has brought it to the black man but it will avail nothing if the Negroes of the West Indies, in America and other parts of the world, do not stand behind it with every, ounce of energy and every bit of initiative and money; and is ready to make every sacrifice necessary towards its realization. The dream of the U. N. I. A. is not an impossible one. The U. N. I. A. is trying to make the Negro independent, and give him a rating in the world. Africa the Storehouse Africa is the仓库. Let us see briefly what his chances are, from an industrial and economic standpoint. Africa is the storehouse of Europe. the pantry of Europe. Europe's bread today is either direct, or indirectly stored in Africa. Europe's industry today depends upon the raw materials of Africa, and of the West Indies. Europe is not able to feed her millions, nor is England. The mines and forests of England are not sufficient to keep going her industries, nor any those of Europe sufficient. For that reason England is mistress of the seas because it is necessary if she has to live to enjoy life, that she go to other lands and bring back raw materials and place them in her factories in order that her sons might have work and her children might have bread. She now has control of Africa and looks Africa as the land that will supply her factories with raw material and guarantee to her children bread. But who producers that bread and the raw materials, and brings to the surface the minerals, etc. from Africa and other places in the West Indies and elsewhere? It is the millions of black people, scattered over the land, ninety-nine per cent, of the producer of the West Indies, and 100 per cent, from Africa is the product of the black man. But the white man controls it. The black man is simply a part of the white man's tools of production. Now, the U. N. I. A. is saying to the black man, since you are producing the things which Europe wants, and for the past 100 years have learned what the white man wants. If you are to make yourself independent and make yourself felt in the world, you must not only produce but take over control of the production and place it in ships, naval and owned by black people, and take it to the markets of the world. No Control The world today is anxious to shake hands with the rayg that has something that it wants. The Negro in the West indies and Africa has that thing but does not control it. The U. N. L. A. says, let the Black man begin to engage in industry, establish his own factories, foundries and steamship lines, in order to control those things that his brawn and his sweat have produced. Let the black man buy and sell what the world wants and so tie up his economic industrial and commercial insecrets with the rest of the world to such an extent that you cannot destroy one without the other, and thus the program of the U. N. L. A. and the salvation of the race will be on the long road of solution. It does not take a philosopher to see the soundness of such a program, nor does it take a genius to see its feasibility. It only takes men who have a common experience of the world and who have borne sense. We have been stressing the industrial and commercial out of the program because we realize that we can do little until we reelected the African印地安 man here and in the West Indies. Until we have caved him to the point where he can support with the necessary finance our gigantic program, we will not be able to realize our dream. This is not the first time a people have dreamt and realized their dream when the o who have so dreamt have been willing to wade through hell to realize it. It was the dream of freedom and independence in religious worship that led the fathers of the country to erase the turbulent Atlantic and come to a wild country, leading them to be beautiful homes and all that was near and dear to them. And after they got to America, and England began to ta, them, they got tired and again dream of *n* country where they could say how much they could be taxed and what would be the tax, and with faith and confidence in their ability to put over their dream, they were willing to starve at Valley Forge, and blood at Bunker Hill, and lay their treasures on the altar of free MAKE MONEY Big Profits to Agents New Catalogue Ready Full of Good Things To Buy and Sell Premium, 5 and 10 cent goods, varieties, bazaars and fair goods.

Faith and Confidence. Now the black man has dreamt a dream. He will no longer be the burden bearer or the baggage carrier of the dominant races of the world. He will take his place alongside the other races and make his own contribution. The black man will have his own culture and civilization; he will write his own histories and black boys and girls will have everything to hope for and live for because their fathers not only dreamt, but because they had faith and confidence in their ability to tackle and put over the job about which they dreamt. It is a big job and we cannot put it over single-handed. That is why we call upon you to supply the slaves of war. We do not expect of you what Pharaoh expected of the children of Israel, viz., that they make bricks without straw. If we are to make bricks you must furnish the straw. Those of you who have been thinking it over and saying you will do it next week must understand that we need your assistance now more than at any other time. If you are to make the acrifice necessary to put over the program doing it now will go more than twice as far as if done next year.

Rudolph Smith spoke on the subject of "World Adjustment and How It Affects the Negro." He said the world was in a state of turmoil and all nations were endeavoring to bring about order and mutual understanding among all races that inhabit the world. Even those nations that had fought against each other were resorting to means whereby they could unite and protect their interests everywhere. Even Germany, that was no antagonistic to Great Britain and other nations, had come to an understanding with them whereby she could deal with the commercial world and create an exchange that was satisfactory to them. In this readjustment, that was taking pounce the propaganda of Great Britain was welding its influence above all others and was making itself felt in the United States. In France, in Russia, in Africa, and in every part of the world, because it is energetically being fostered by the British people in order that they may bring the world to realize that Great Britain is a strong power on so as well as on land. They have studied the plan by which the propaganda could reach everywhere. It had reached the West Indies and was working among Negroes to the extent that the educated Negroes were more concerned about the interests of Great Britain than of their interests as a race. Evils of White Propaganda. This condition existed not only among Negroes in the West Indies but among the Indiana and among the Chinese. But God had sent a lender in the person of Marcus Garvey to make his race realize the deplorable system of propaganda that is being spread to bring about dissension to divide the people. All other nations were in a better position to protect themselves from the baneful effects of this propaganda, except the Negro Mahatma Gandhi could rise up and call upon his followers to preach the doctrine of non-co-operation and thereby make his people realize what is best for the interests of the Indian people. Kemal Pasha could call upon the Turks to stand by him and help him because he is right in Turkey among his people. Sagul Pasha of Egypt could rise up and call upon his people because he was right among the Egyptian people, but Negroes found themselves in a different position; they were established within a white man's government, where the laws are made to protect the interests of the white man. Every official of the government was white; everything was controlled by the white man, and he used every means by which he can maintain white supremacy so that the race may be recognized and respected everywhere. U. N. I. A. to the Rescue The Universal Negro Improvement Association had come upon the scene with Marcus Garvey as the greatest leader of modern times, and was trying to get the Negroes of the world together under a government of their own in Africa, where their interests may be protected. It was endeavoring first to build the commercial strength of the race, and for that reason had launched the Black Crops Navigation Company to operate a line of steamships. But it could only be put over by the support of the people, and his plea was for every Negro to make a sacrifice in order that it may be accomplished. They had answered the call of the U. N. F. A in every other direction, and now more than ever it was their duty to make the utmost sacrifice so that within a few years the Negro race would have a fleet of steamships on the seas carrying commerce to and from all parts of the world where they may be domiciled, and thus linking up their commercial interests, with the idea of using the strength thereby created in establishing a government in Africa. In conclusion, Mr. Smith made a strong appeal for funds, which appeal met with generous response. The last speaker was Miss Demena, Secretary of the Chicago Division. The Negro, she said, was tired of getting the small, end of everything. It was time now that he set about getting an equal share of the world's goods which other races were enjoying. How could that be done? It can be done by the Negroes getting together and showing the world that they are able to do all the things that others are doing. We must create our own industries, and for that reason we must have ships and more ships. Miss Demena, in concluding, also made a strong appeal for CORNS A man's a man when he takes a pride in his FEET IF YOU ARE SUFFERING FROM CORNS, BUNIONS OR CALLIPHERS ON THE BACK OF YOUR FEET...4,000.

PROCEEDINGS OF CONVENTION (Continued from page 3) the keynote address, referred to an article which appeared in the current issue of the Pittsburgh Courier attacking the association's program in regard to the redemption of the motherland and referring to America as "our country." He declared this was merely a delusion; that it was the determination to make America a white man's country, the Negro being here only on suffurance at the present time, and that the Negroes of the world had made up their minds to establish a government of their own in Africa. It seemed useless to appeal to the white man's conscience, which apparently, was dead; and, therefore, Negroes were prepared to pray and to fight, to march with the sword and the Bible, until their goal was reached. Hon. A. G. Ellenburk, Gary, Ind. kept the house in roars of laughter as he bade Negroes to purchase a ship one for each Negro, so that they might all live on the high seas. This was, as he saw it, the only alternative to going back to Africa, the white man having made every other part of the earth his. If the white man had no conscience, he still had feelings, and Negroes were determined not to yield up Africa without a struggle. "Watch and pray," he said, was the Biblical injunction, "and be ye also ready." Hon. Dr. J. J. Peters reminded his hearers that the "Back to Africa" movement was regarded as the only solution for the problem of race by many great thinkers, and urged Negroes to regard the program of the U. N. I. A. as sacred and to act accordingly. * Hon. Smith, New York; Hon. J. J Fenner, Richmond, Va.; Hon. Hattie Johnson, Baltimore, Md.; Hon. F. A Toote, Philadelphia; Hon. Rogers, Norfolk, Va.; Hon. Mrs. Brown, Newark N. J.; Hon. Mae Bond, New York, an Hon. Mrs. Simmons, Bermuda, also spoke, after which the convention adjourned until 8:30 p. m. 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 confirmed. Hon. C. H. Bryant, Costa Rica, as Secretary, then read the report of the committee appointed to draft recommendations in regard to the development of Liberia, Abysinia, Haiti and other countries where Negroes form a majority of the population as independent Negro communities. The report was discussed section by section and adopted with minor amendments. The full text appears in another column. Hon. Freeman L. Martin, St Louis, next read the report of the committee appointed to draft recommendations in regard to the appeal of the Haitians to the convention and to the Universal Negro Improvement Association for assistance in securing the restoration of autonomy. The report was considered section by section and adopted with a slight amendment. The full text of this report appears in another column. The convention then adjourned until 2:30 p. m.

Her appeal was made more particularly to the women, and, starting the ball rolling herself, she planked down a $8 bbl. A large number of women from the audience followed suit and contributed liberally, both by loans and by voluntary contributions, to the Black Cross Navigation Company. The best illustration of the spirit of the London Conference is M. Herriot's order to evacuate two German cities. In itself it is a small matter, but M. Herriot's action is proof that he proposes to cultivate German good-will by giving the Germans tangible hope of liberation. The agreements as a whole, the Dawes plan plus the London protocols, justify the claim that peace has at last begun in Europe because the will to peace exists in the Governments in power. The main destructive illusions which made peace impossible are officially gone. Gone is the illusion that Germany's capacity to pay in Germany is the same as Germany's capacity to pay the Allies. The plan establishes the principle that Germany is bound to tax herself in marks and the Allies are bound to work out the problems of paying themselves out of those marks. Gone is the utterly indefensible arrangement by which German payments for execution of the treaty and deliveries in kind were not counted as part of her annual obligation. Instead, the total annual sum covers all the obligations of the year. Gone is the claim of France to act independently against Germany. Instead, the question of willful default, which is the legal pretext of the Ruhr invasion, comes first before a reconstructed Reparation Commission with an American vote and goes then to a committee of arbitration. Gone is the claim that France would stay in the Ruhr "until paid". Instead, France promises to leave the Ruhr within a year. Gone is the theory that an economically dismembered German can pay huge sums. Instead, there is the recognition that German economic unity is essential to any considerable payment. Weakened, if not altogether gone is the notion that Germany will pay most under constant coercion. Instead, the supervision of German affairs is made drastic but not except in the event of default, obtrusive. These are the great gains of the settlement, and their spirit is such as to give confidence that the still unsettled problems will be handled reasonably. They are: 1. The fixing of Germany's total debt, what amounts, to the same think, the fixing of the number of years that the payments must run. This important settlement can probably not be made until the interalled debts have been put on a permanent, practical basis. 2. The revision of the schedules of payment in the earlier years in case the estimates prove to have been too high. Here in any event the safeguards against a revival of Polish army may be sufficient. Nevertheless, neither of the unsettled problems nor some of the munions having to do with the interpretation of the plan are sufficient to invalidate the plan of the $200,000,000 loan to Germany. This loan is essential to the starting of the plan. When the Davis plan was first published, the World said that the loan could not be offered to the American public unless four conditions were met. It must be a first lien on Germany taking precedence over all other claims. The European issuing public should be prepared to take at least half the loan as proof of its connection that the plan was sound. The French must agree to impartial determination of whether Germany has been in default. The London Conference has substantially met all these points. And therefore, assuming of course that the bankers will have assured the economic security of the loan, its political security is adequate. It is entitled to public support. There is credit in the result for all concerned. To Mr. Macdonald, M. Herriot and Herr Marx for having prevailed over nationalist feeling in their own countries; to Secretary Hughes for a skillful subterfuge in reversing his own party's policy; to Charles G. Dawes and Owen Young for negotiating a remarkably ingenious plan in conference with the British. French and Belgian experts; to the British and American bankers, notably Mr. Lamont, for courageous funness on principle at the critical moment. Cheerfulness Antidote To Worry There is enough good enough brightness, enoughshine in the world to fill each of our lives, without giving space to other things. Cherishness has a marked value, but the face will not pelt shine if the spirit within is clouded. A cheerful spirit illuminates the face until it radiates blessing and hope to all round us. A smilling face pays dividends every day. One cheerful spirit and glad countenance clears up the atmosphere in the house, in business, in the social circle, and does good like a medicine. Cherishness is a tonic for the mind and body; it is one of the greatest forces in winning and keeping friends; it is the antidote to worry, fear, discouragement, perplexity and discord; it is the builder of life and vigor, and all things good.—The Dominica Chronicle.

MARCUS GARVEY'S ARMY OF SIX MLLION SOLDIERS To the Editor of The Negro World: Among the outstanding character- tics which mark the greatest leaders in the world's history we find commu- mate courage, dauntless determination and a loyalty that seems retreat. But does successful leadership depend alone on the capacity of the leader? Time and again we find clubs, organi- ations, leagues, communities, and even nations progressing rapidly under leadership not at all uncommon, whilst others seem to assume the most polematic attitude under some of the most splendid leaders. Where then, does the trouble lie and who is at fault? Perhaps we may be able to get a solution of the problem from a comparison between the pages of history and the Near peoples of the world today. Alexander Hamulli, Charlemagne and Napoleon Bonaparte were successful leaders each in his time. So were Solomon Lemo theorist, Plato and other. Alexander conquered the thea known world and went because there were no more worlds to conquer. Hamulli marshalled the forces of black-skinned Carthaginian and buried terror into the ranks of the Roman armies carriar in the battle to the very gate of Rome. Charlemagne, after subjugating nearly all of Northern Europe, swept down like a human turtle on the nations of the South and planted his standard on the Vatican. Napoleon, at twenty-one, murdered a army of half a million and defended to all Europe, and backed it up by a display of military accomplishments that the people appreciated in his feet. But what there is is elation along with this for the army he commanded. Alexander conquered, but he was followed by an army, that he could die in a minor battle than for the other leader. So with Charlton's aid, others, among them over a people who had the utmost confidence in their leader. The force of Napoleon was sufficient to prompt the French to decide of an unqualified victory. At the time he commanded the army of France to be defeated and put under a siege, the people on earth could withstand. The Navigator of the world today possess a leader who has displayed the wisdom of a Solomon, the master of power of a Dionysus, the great P. G. Boy 47. Hamilton Orange Station, NEW JOHN CITY.

Macus Garvey possessed a profound conviction of the need for his service as leader of the Negroes, plus the courage to respond to the call. His determination to faithfully stand by his trust is unquestioned: the riddle, slander, modesty and persecution hurled at his life and character are of the most damnable, type that disordered minds could devise. Among the admirable qualities which fit him for his high calling, his loyalty stands paramount. But his leadership has not yet attained the achievement at which he stands, not because the leader fails to measure up to the standard, but because the people fail to put the whole-hearted confidence in the leader. But you might argue, can the people be blamed for being careful now, when they have been so often deceived by pseudo-leaders foisted upon them by the carefully concocted enemies to Negro progress? Such an argument, in a sense, is logical; but a comparison between the accomplishments of Garrickey and the pung successes of former leaders confounds and frustrates any such argument. Show me the Negro leader who has organized six millions of souls in a short six years. Show me the Negro leader that has placed before the race a program that challenges the world to duplicate the fulfilling of which will eventually place the Negro apples of the world equal in nationhood to other races. Show me another who has risked all without compromise for the cause of African independence. Then, since Marvin has fulfilled all the requirements of an approximately perfect leader, the fault must be with the followers. And since confidence in the leader is the necessary thing for success, we ought to start, getting some confidence somehow, some place, and now. Cleo C. Richgood. Tonkers, N. V.

The candidate who deliberately and definitely condemns the Klan and its works now expect to cut himself off on a question of principle from the support of a solid minority which might easily turn the balance in his favor in uncertain States. Regretting the question of religious and racial tolerance in a campaign which he would have preferred to conduct on purely economic lines, Sonar L. Follette nevertheless names names and issues an unquolvocal defense. He is "unlikelyly opposed to the evident purposes of the secret organization known as the Ku Klux Klan, as disclosed by its public acts." He believes that "it cannot long survive" and he bases this belief on the "tata of earlier movements of similar character in American politics." His stand is that of Abraham Lincoln toward the Know-Nothings and that of Thomas Jefferson toward the "right of inquiry into the religious opinions of others." If he has not allowed every Klansman in the United States from his ticket it is not his fault. No candidate can blink the fact that Sir Maurice La Follette's declaration sets a standard of candor and courage in regard to an issue admitting of no compromise which does not lend aid and comfort to the most vicious faction in the public life of this generation G HOTEL LE THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, AUGUST 30, 1924 Let's Put It Over, If We Are Men SHIPS!

THE SORT OF IMITATION THAT MAKES US POOR "Keeping Up with the Joneses," Following the Fashion When Too Poor to Do So Is a Racial and National Weakness From The Houston Reformer In the hustle and bustle of this fast and restless age we are witnessing entirely too much the sickening and addening spectacle of so many of our people trying to "keep up with the Joneses." Despite the fact that the "Joneses" have a healthy income and are fully able to make the showing that they do, numerous others, barely earning a livelihood, are straining every fiber and employing every means to ape after and keep up with the "Joneses." We not only see this in domestic circles, but we even see it in our churches—churches with a bare handful of members (and only a few of them supporting the church, financially) trying to run in the same class and keep company with the larger and older churches, whose members are situated better for doing their duty to and by their church. Many homes have been wrecked and their sacredness defiled by its inmates trying to keep up with other people and living far above and beyond their means.

C. SALTUB, Advertising Dept. MAGAZINE PAGE marital vow and resorted to infidelity in a mad and insane effort to keep up with some other women, not once stopping to consider the fact that in the ultimate outcome the former had more to lose than the latter. Much of the misery, woe, domestic differences, divorces and estrangements of our day and generation are due to this eternally aping after the "Joneses"; people with beer purses nursing and trying to satisfy a champagne appetite. There are any number of people renting and moving from place to place today, in Houston and elsewhere who would be owning their own home today, unincumbered and free from all debt, had they paid less attention to imitating the "Joneses" and more in trying to get a tohold, acquiring some physical properties and laying aside something for and against their old age. It is indeed pathetic to see some person slowly, but surely, sliding down the toboggan of life, and hear some one mention the fact that he or she once lived high and dressed well, but today is an object of pity and figure of pathos, and investigation will generally disclose the fact that his or her undoing was due to the fact that he or she tried to "keep up with the Joness." As a race, one of our outstanding faults is that we always want to walk before spending our days of apprenticeship in crawling; we too often seek to enter the big end of the horn and then emerge from the small end, sadder but wiser. Another thing: Too many of our people want to occupy high positions and chief places, but are unwilling to make the sacrifice or pay the price for the position they covet or seek to occupy. Many of our people content for preferment, emoluments and financial compensation not on the basis of their ability and their capacity to do the job, but on the basis that others of their colleagues, contemporaries and acquaintances are receiving such things. "Not only have homes been torn asunder by this aping after the "Joneses," but church congregations have been split into factions, pastors have either been asked to resign or voluntarily handed, in their resignations, chiefly because they tried to keep up with and outdo the religious "Joneses." The informer knows any number of colored churches that can not meet their obligations, but how they can spend money (if it becomes necessary to make a loan at some bank) to try to be what they are not, and to keep up with other churches in more favorable circumstances. We have heard of churches that required one whole year trying to pay back money they borrowed to make a showing with the "Joneses" at some association or convention; and most of the colored churches stay head-over-heels in debt in their insane and silly endeavor to keep up with or surpass the "Joneses" in the realm of religious activity. We need to get back to the earth; regain our mental equilibrium; employ a little common sense, both in our homes and churches, where this disposition to try to "keep up with the Joneses" is so apparent and prevalent, and where such a policy and program delaying us in our journey to our right-are retarding our racial progress and ful destination.

And up she goes, and down she comes, But sure she'll win the day; You know she's going somewhere. For she's surely on the way. You can see the stalwart pilot, Standing, firmly at the stern. First his eyes are on the topsails. Then he gives the wheel a turn. Now he glances at the compass, Which all sailor men obey. For his ship is sailing steadfast, And she must be on the way. He rides o'er every postage. As a ship rides o'er the wave. You can see his course is charted. That his heart is strong and gray. For he's planned his destination, And his ship is on the way. He's charted out the channel That he means to take through life For he's planned a steadfast purpose 'Spite of prejudice, lies and strife. For with courage, perseverance, And good cheer he'll fill his day. He'll surely reach that harbor. For his ship is on the way. Brooklyn, N. Y.

My Bulgarian Tea should put new life in any one. You should feel 10 to 30 years younger when your blood is pure. If you are tired, weak or run down, with no vigor or energy, get a box of Bulgarian at once the day. Tell your druggiat you want the genuine Bulgarian Tea in the red and yellow bog. If your druggiat can't give you the genuine Bulgarian Herb Tea I will send it to you postpaid for $1.00. Address me. H. H. Von Schlick, Dept. 5, Marvel Building, Pittsburgh, Pa.

THE-NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, AUGUST 30, 1924 ```markdown ``` Bowitching Brunettes with Bissel and Blake, "The Chocolate Dandies," New Musical Comedy, at Colonial Theatre 1216 PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE. N. W. WASHINGTON. D.C. I received your very cordial letter in which you diligently asked me as to how the Honorable Hamilton Kean, member of the National Committee for New Jersey, stood at Cleveland in the contest, represented by me, coming up from Georgia, but which involved "Lily Whitism" vs. stalwart Republicans. It is but simple justice on my part to state to you that Mr. Kean supported me and the cause of stalwart Republicanism loyally and vigorously with his vote, his voice and all his influence at his command. I also recall that in the year 1920 at the Chicago National Convention, when these same issues and these same parties were before the National Committee, and long before Mr. Kean had any further personal ambitions, he stood by me like a stone wall, four years ago. "Lily Whitism" had in him a positive foe and stalwart Republicanism had in him a mighty champion. I am compelled, by every consideration of truth and fairness, to make this statement in writing to you and to other friends, and especially so when Mr. Kean's position in this behalf has been grossly misrepresented. When the selection of the party's candidate for the Senate in New Jersey has been made, command me freely, without money and without price I will come to you, like, as I have always come in the past twenty years.

Nutter, Attorney-at-law, 15 West Front Street, Trenton, New Jersey My Dear Ike: "Crossed Wires" When I saw the porter open a telegram, which the station agent had handed him as we stopped a brief moment at a station in the West Virginia mountains, and thon, as I saw a heavy frown fix itself upon his forehead, my curiosity overcame me, and falling to notice some smoke which I afterwards learned came from a hole which my cigar had burned in my coat sleeve. I immediately struck up a conversation with the porter. "Didn't know there was such good telegraph service here in the mountains." I ventured to say. "Oh..yes, we usually pick up three or four messages when we come through here," responded the porter, deliberately, as he eyed the injured coat sleeve. "Hope you've received no bad news." I continued, as the porter drew the telegram from his pocket and hurried away in response to a bell without answering me. "Too bad you burned your coat," said the porter, upon his return: "because you can't match that piece of goods any more." "Can't match it! Sure I can, just as eoon as I get back East," I said in surprise, as the bell rang and the porter hurried away again. When he returned, he was visibly affected, and, as he sat down to rest, a spirit of sadness seemed to overcome him. Presently, he straightened up and saluted: "Well, the old man is done for, sure, this time; and it means Jesus Was a Negro by Blood King Solomon instructed King Hiram to employ black men to work on the Temple. The book entitled "The Black Man Was the Father of Civilization" has the above matter in it (proven by Biblical history). It gives 2,000 years of the black man's history in the Bible.

"But you've always been on the road, haven't you?" I asked in surprise. "I should say not," replied the porter, mournfully. "You see, I'm a tailor by trade, and up front in number two there's the squarerest man I ever knew. I met him on this very run eight years ago, and when he found out I was a tailor he gave me the chance which so many had refused me. He's a large manufacturer of men's clothing. He took me off the road and put me on the bench as an expert worker on handmade clothes. Late last fall we were burned out, and he got me back on the road until we could build for business again. He got me back this spring, and the first work we did was to turn out some suits, of which the one you have on is a sample. I helped to make it myself, and I'd recognize that material anywhere, for when I discovered that the manufacturer had fooled the old man on-the goode, he destroyed all the rest rather than injure his reputation. Oh, he's square, he is. We closed up a month in order to make some new contracts for material, and I took to the road during that time; and here word comes by wire saying that everything was burned to the ground early this evening. "Well, does he know about it?" I inquired, anxiously. "I didn't have the heart to tell him. at first," the porter answered easily. "But I told him just now, and he says he's through. Guess he must have feared something when he said he'd wait until my car was going through. Ordered all telegraphs sent in my name." Just then the door of the forward coach was thrust open, and in rushed a dining car waiter.

"Gee," exclaimed the porter, as he rushed forward to numb two.

DIVISIONS In Honor of the Fourth International Convention of the Negro People of the World in New York A COLORFUL PARADE From the Panama Star and Herald (Aug. 2) The opening of the fourth conference of the Universal Negro Improvement Association in New York City was fittingly observed in this city yesterday afternoon by Division 17 and Chapter 14 of the association operating here. Members of the association assembled in both their halls and shortly after three o'clock formed in marching order moved for Lesseps park where they met and in a body headed by the U. N. I. A. band marched along B. Street to the Presidencia where President Porras with members of his cabinet received the representatives of the association, J. T. Barton, president of Division 17, read the address to President Porras and then introduced the officers, who were: C. A. Brathwaite, president of Chapter 14; John H. St. Louis, general secretary, Chapter 14; J. A. Tomlinson, general secretary, Division 17; Bridget A. Aird, lady president, Chapter 14; Betsy Iona Atkins, lady president, Division 17; N. W. Collins, C. C. Alkins, A. N. Hutchinson, and Dev. W. E. Bailey. President Porras received them most cordially, and he was the recipient of many good wishes for himself and the Republic of Panama. Champagne was then freely served. J. T. Barton, spokesman, informed President Porras that it would be a great pleasure to the strong assembled outside the Presidency if he would say a few words to them, to which the president graciously consented. President Porras' appearance on the balcony was cause for food applause. In a few words he welcomed them and told them that he recognized the West Indian colony as inhabitants of the Republic and promised them every protection, he wished them prosperity and success in all their undertakings and urged them to continue in well-doubled and hoped they would always be happy. Loud applause followed his remarks. The band played the National Hymn of Panama and that of the U. N. L. A. The procession then moved and wended its way through Central Avenue to de Leaense park; arriving there J. T. Barton addressed the gathering. He told them of the objects and aims of the U. N. I. A. He said that the program of the association calls for the moral intellectual, social and spiritual uplift of the Negro peoples of the world. "It has no fellowship with Socialism, Communism or Bolshevism." His address was listened to with rapt attention and when he concluded by telling them that thousands of Negro detains from the four quarters of the globe were assembled in New York City to formulate plans for Negro progress and improvement, he was cheered to the echo. Walter W. Best, member of the Colon Division, was the next speaker and gave a very stirring address. Among other things he said "I will only consider myself a free man when I stand under my own vane and fig tree in free and reclaimed Africa." He was loudly applauded. The Rev W. E. Barelli followed and asked the gathering to join with him in singing the hymn "O God Our Help in Ages Passed," which was justly sung are ```markdown ``` A LUCKY MYSTIC RING beautiful Expatriate of unique demeanor of unshakeable international airlines international airports international will still exist CITY OF ALEXANDRIA.

A. had done, is doing and would continue to do, and pleaded with the people to unite for the good of the Negro race. Applauses followed his remarks. Mrs. Aird in her usual forceful manner spoke of the protection that Panama has given West Indian domiciled here and, asked for three cheers for the Republic which was heartily given. Mrs. Aird said that the United States had sheltered the U. N. I. A. for the association, for the association came to life there and asked for three cheers for the good old U. S. A., which was lustily given. Cheers were also given for the Hon. Marcus Garvey. She then thanked all present for their co-operation in the demonstration which in no small way helped to make it the success it undoubtedly was. This brought the function to its close. The members then formed in marching order and moved for the Guachapal hall, where Chapter 14 retired. The procession then wended its way to the hall of Division 17, where it dispersed. Later in the evening receptions were held at both halls and a very enjoyable time was spent by the members and their friends. The procession was the largest and most orderly of West Indian demonstrations witnessed in the city. The different units of the association in their uniforms made a splendid showing and was very favorably commented on. Many appropriate mottoes were carried in the procession, among them were "One God, One Dostiny," "Help Us Build a Government of Our Own," "When There Is No Vision, the People Perish." "The Negroes' Problem Must Be Solved." "God Bless the Hon. Marcus Garvey, the Negro Leader," and many others. The address to the President of Panama was signed by J. F. Barton, L.L.D. president Division No. 17: Bridget A. E Aird, lady president, Chapter No. 14; J. A. Tomlinson, general secretary, Division No. 17; C. A. Brathwaite, president, Chapter No. 14; Betsy Jona Alkins, lady president, Division No. 17, John H. St. Louis, general secretary, Chapter No. 14. The British Charge de Affairs was unable to be present and an address was staff to him, to which he made a previous reply. BANES. CUBA On Sunday, July 5, the Banes Division of the U. N. I. A. held a monster mass meeting commencing at 9 p.m. The chaplain offered prayer, and the program continued in the following manner: We were first favored with an inspiring solo, "Why Have We Wandered Away Like Lost Sheep?" Mr. A. McLarty, chairman for the night, then delivered an address. He denounced the element that was trying to hinder the progress of the Banes Division, and encouraged the faithful members to overcome this obstacle. After listening to a delightful trio, Mr. Leo Douglas, the executive secretary, talked on the progress of the association. His remarks gave food for thought. The choir rendered a delightful selection, after which an appeal in aid of the Black Cross Navigation Company for membership was made. Miss Scarlett, a nurse, gave us a short talk, which was followed up by a short address by Mr. C. C. Burton. The following members took part in the program: Address, Master F. Wright; duet, Medames, Wallace and Lawrence. Although the Barnes Division is undergoing a difficult struggle, there is one in our midst, in the person of Mr. R. F. Blake, who although abused and discredited, is still launching out with more determination, more zeal and more efforts to torpedo the projects and the plans made by disqualified members. Mr. Blake said, "If the division was to continue with its standards, we would have to get rid of the element that was impeding its progress." He also said that in addition to finance, unity among the members was needed, which is the strength of the race. PETER JAMES, Secretary NEW ORLEANS. LOUISIANA The New Orleans Division. No. 110 held a mass meeting at the Louisiana Freedmen's Auditorium. On account of the warm weather prevailing, the gathering was not all that could be desired, but those who were present made up for the absent ones in zeal and courage. The meeting was opened at 2:30 p.m. with the singing of the opening ode, "From Greenland's Ice Mountains." Honorable Commissioner S. V. Robertson, in whose behalf the meeting was staged, appeared in uniform. He was undaunted neither by the inclementy of the weather nor by the sparse audience. The president first presented Mr. Harding, an eloquent speaker and president of the St. Rose Division, who ably expounded the aims and objects of the U.N. I. A. The executive secretary then introduced Mr. Charles Jackson, who everyone knows, is a valuable adjunct to the U. N. I. A. He treated his audience to a trenchant defense of the principle underlying the organization. We were next favored with a harmonica selection by Mr. Freddie Small, a blind musician, whose playing visibly moved the audience. Later a collection was taken in his behalf. The program ended with an inspiring address by the commissioner. After the benediction the meeting was adjourned. All left rejoicing over the eventful evening. PHILIP CLINTON. Reporter.

The meeting began at 7:30 p.m., being called to order by the most worthy chaplain, Mr. S. Lindsay. The opening ode was sung, followed by the reprintation of the Universal motto, "One God, One Alm, One Destiny."

"To Him That Overcame, Will I Make a Pillar in the Temple of God." In the course of his address, he said, "We, like hateful demons, are in a great war among ourselves, each little group trying to overcome the other. In its great battle we see the religious organizations fighting the financial societies for the largest membership, hoping some day to overcome each other. "Error in the fruit of ignorance, and ignorance is the fruit of unanticipated, unguided reasoning. The time is now at hand for such conditioning, malicious owl to cease. The hope of this great race of ours with all its possible allies within ours is. We not only have enemies outside, but also in our ranks as well. I want to inform you members of the U. N. I. A that the sight is on and we should win to win. He also said that doubt the world's greatest enemy, had been a blindness to progressive nations. He told them that Mr. Garvey, the champion of our cause, had fought uncompromisingly there last six years to overcome the obstacle. The president urged the doubtful once present to assist their leader. After the address, Key D. L. Keed led us in singing. Who Shall Be Abla to Stand." The second hemental J.

Recording Sec FORT SMITH, ARK. The Fort Smith Division of the U. N. J. A. held a grand mass meeting at Liberty Hall, 623 North Ninth street Sunday, July 20, 1924. Members and friends turned out in large numbers. The meeting was opened in the usual manner at 3:45 p.m. by Mr. J. S. Bell, second vice-president. Brother M. M. Pond acted as chaplain. The Scriptures were then read and the house was called to order. The preamble was read by the secretary. Brother George E. McCraary made a few striking remarks, explaining the aims and objects of the Universal Negro Improvement Association for the benefit of those who came to the meeting to learn more about the work of the organization. Many wonderful thoughts were expressed which inspired and delighted the hearers. At the close of Brother McCraary's discourse two new members were added to this division. The president's weekly message was read and well applauded by the audience. A son, "We're Marching On," was sung by the audience, after which the meeting was brought to a close. (Mrs.) GEORGE E.

On Sunday, August 10, 1924, at 4 p.m. the people of Ciego de Avila assembled again at Maldive to hear the doctrine of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Dr. Dave Davidson, who acted as chairman, called the meeting to order with the singing of the opening ode, "From Greenland's Icy Mountains," after which Mr. J. C. Smith offered prayer. The chairman first explained in English and then in Spanish the aims and objects of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Mr. J. C. Smith, the first speaker, addressed the audience, taking as his subject "The Ability to Lead." After his address Mr. J. C. Smith introduced in Spanish the next speaker, Senior Pedro Tolederay, a Cuban of the Guantanamo Division, who delievered a wonderful address in Spanish. He said unless the Negro adopted the same manner of receiving his comrades and visitors as the Chinese the redemption of Africa would be retarded. Chinese never stop to ask another Chinaman where he was born, but they accept him as a brother and a comrade because he was one of the race. The Negro should do likewise—it did not matter where one happened to be born, he should be accounted as a member of the race regardless of nationality. The chairman thanked Senior Tollemache and interrupted his address in English. The next speaker to address the audience was Mr. I. D. Eugene, president of the Division, who chose as his subject "The Influence of Leaders of Our Race." He stated that we needed publicized Negro people to carry out the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. The National anthem was then sung and the meeting was adjourned. SPRINGFIELD, OHIO The Springfield Division 20 held a special meeting August in 1911. The first vice-president James B. Reeves acted as chairman.

New Local Organized At Gonzales, La. 'LOST VIGOR RESTORED IN 24 HOURS' "Glanda Awakened in One Day" Is the Amazing Statement of a Seventy-Year-Old Veteran. Lets throw off a cloud of selfishness and power, and that which would disproportionate and half-hearted feeling does not be decided no longer since the discovery of a well-known chumshi. Now it is possible for those who feel naturally old to become rejuvenated and remain the vital force of youth, and thus the multiple amazing statement of one who has taken the treatment. This famous discovery is bringing renewed youth and "strength" to thousands where everything else had failed. "I want to ray that my lost vow was restored and glands restored," I declare of Kansas City, Mo. "Today I am 16, but I don't feel a day over 40. Before I started taking the treatment I felt I was an old, worn-out man, but now I am enjoying a remarkable 'gland restoration' and am convinced my repurpose and am empowerment. My God's blessing rest on the discoverer of such a boon to humanity." This wonderful formula, prepared by one of the largest laboratories in the world and generally known as Mando, will work like magic in its city on people of all ages and sexes. No matter how bad your condition, no matter what your age or occupation, no matter what you have tried, if you want to work with Mando, the force of youth* we are so confident Mando Formula will restore you that we offer to send a large $3.50 bottle for only $1.95 on 10 days free trial.

If at the end of the 10 days you are not showing "wonderful improvement" and "rejuvenation," just send it back and your money will be refunded without charge. You can write today and give this "remarkable formula" a trial. MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN The Milwaukee Division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association launched a monster mass meeting on August 17, 1924. The meeting was called to order at 3:30 P. M., opening with the grand march. The choir led in the singing of the opening ode, after which the lady vice-president led us in prayer. Mr. R. Williams, the first speaker, appealed to the people to help put the program over. The next speaker introduced was Mrs. D. Stokes. She spoke with great enthusiasm appealing to the members of this Division to co-operate with one another. After a few terse remarks from Mrs. Shaw, Mrs. Gordon, an elderly woman of Mississippi, addressed the audience. She stirred her audience to the core when she told of the lynching she had seen in Mississippi. Dr. Stoke further enlarged on the necessity of putting over the program of the U. N. I. A. The program continued with the reading of a letter by President Hale asking for $350 to assist the parent body. Mr. P. Love proceeded to collect the offering and to register loans. The following amount was raised. Collection ... $149.50 Mr. Johnson ... 250.00 Mr. Mason ... 20.00 Mr. P. Love ... 20.00 J. Simmons ... 20.00 Registered from picnic ... 94.27 Total ... $754.07 The program ended with an address the Attorney De Reef. In the course of his address, he encouraged the mem- bers to carey on the good work. He stated that this great issue had aroused the Negro more than any other since this was an objective in pursuance of their rights. He also advised the co- workers to become interested in poli- tics so that they may benefit by them want to Africa to set up a governmen- P. LOWE.

Our present Constitution, having been forced upon us at the point of the beacon, as the late President Harding stated in his speech in Marion, it was to be expected that the American government would at least respect it and see to its strict observance. However, it is said to state the American government, through its representatives in Haiti, has, and even now, in defiance of the protestations of the whole country, is still violating and ignoring many of its prescriptions. It is provided in the Constitution that legislative election must take place on the 10th of January of every even year. It provides also that, in case certain localities shall have failed to hold elections on that date, the executive power must assemble immediately and proceed to have same held Since 1917, both Chambers of Deputies and Senate have been dissolved manu militari, by the American soldier. In its place, the Commander-in-Chief of the American government, assisted lately by a high commissioner From the American government, rules supreme, hiding his hands and responsibilities behind the shadow of a sham president who was born of a French father, and, therefore, not eligible to the office that he now holds. This phantom president was given a so-called "Council of State," an innovation from the American Occupation, not provided for by the Constitution. As a whole, both the executive and legislative powers, two bodies, which should be entirely distinct, are vested in the following outfit: An American commander, an American high commissioner, and, subordinate to them, a President of Haiti and his appointed Council of State. This is the "whole of the Haitian Government as actually constituted, and this is the government which has decreed, against the terms of the Constitution, that there shall be no legislative election in Haiti. The voters naturally took the matter to a court of justice, and a judicial verdict was rendered ordering the holding of the election as provided by the Constitution. Immediately after the decision of the court became known, the Department of the Interior published a notice declaring that, after exchange of views with the Government of Washington, there shall be no election. The Department of the Interior would have been nearer the truth had it published that, in compliance with instructions from Washington, there shall be no election. The people, however, ignoring entirely such an impudent publication went to the polls prepared to vote. There they met with armed force headed by an American officer, and in many places they were beaten driven away, their ballots torn away from their hands, and no one allowed to vote. In some towns the campaign leaders were arrested as well as the candidates. The entire province of the North was thus prevented from holding an election. Nevertheless, a sufficient number of Senators was elected to form a majority, but in the Chamber of Deputies (lower Congress), the majority of seats is still unfulfilled. Until now, in spite of the vigorous and continued protests of the people, this situation is still unrectified, and the nation still without the proper machinery provided by the Constitution to form the legislative power. The Haitian people demand immediate rectification of such a state of affairs, and in doing so feel that justice is on their side. The military occupation has been and is still a serious obstacle in many ways to the material and moral improvement of the Haitian people. Since their much collected landing and loss appreciated presence, vices of all kinds have been introduced in the country. Prostitution has increased many a hundred per cent, and has reached young girls scarcely pubescent. Young boys have been initiated to practice heretotese unknown even among fully grown men. The American element, which forms half of the Haitian Government, dominates the Haitian element forming the other half. The American officials are only liable to the American Government, and receive all of their instructions from Washington. The native Haitian officials simply carry out the instructions handed out to them by their American colleagues. The American high commissioner has been the center of many scandalous rumors, which of late have been proven true. He has imposed the adoption of certain bills and the passage of measures conferring considerable financial advantages to an American financial institution called the "National Bank of Haiti," but which in fact is only a branch of the "National City Bank of New York." At his request, and through his influence a contract was awarded a Mr. McCrosson, representing a California firm. The same McCrosson, still added by the high commissioner, is about to obtain a contract through which he will have the control of all lands in Providence of Arthonville, or about one-fifth of the lands of the republic. For quite a while the occupation has been basically engaged in the fostering of a bill creating the imposition of internal taxes on the people. The Haitian people solemnly protest against such a bill or law, which can spell naught but ruin and starvation to them. The Haitian people demand the withdrawal of the American military occupation, and, in short, the restoration of its sovereignty without interference. Every time some one dares to raise a voice of protest against the unjust and arbitrary occupation of the country, every time it is pointed out its encroachments upon the sovereignty of the nation, the State Department invariably alleges as an excuse, that (2) the intervention of the United States was necessary, in order to prevent Germany's interference; (2), that the state of insufficiency resulting from our constant revolutions had placed in jeopardy the life and property of resident aliens; (3), that such intervention was necessary for the rehabilitation of our finances, as the republic was almost bankrupt and unable to meet its obligations. We shall endeavor to prove by a few and brief statements that the allegations of the Department of State are entirely false and calculated to exonerate those responsible for present conditions. The American forces; under command of Admiral Caperton, landed in Haiti on the 26th of July, 1934, at 5 p.m. It was about a year since Germany was at war; the German fleet was blockaded at Kiel and Germany was far from having on its mind any intervention in Haitian affairs. Where, then, was the impending peril of Germany, taking any steps in regards to Haiti? Neither Germany, nor any other European power could afford to busy itself with such an object at that time. The American Government, its agents and all those whose personal interests prompt them to support the occupation, claim and allege (that the life and property of aliens were in danger. Can any one, to the support of such an assertion, mention one single instance in which the life of an Amer- 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. Help to fight the enemies by subscribing to the Marcus Garvey Defense Fund. Help us expose the methods of those who are trying to defeat Marcus Garvey in his service to the race. Address your donation to Marcus Garvey Defense Fund, 56 West lean citizen or any other alien was in danger during our revolutions? It is a well-known fact, that the alien has rather always benefited by our revolutions, and it is not allogether untrue to assert that, was it not for the support given the leaders of those revolutions by aliens, in many instances, they could not have started. Indeed, the aliens not only did finance many revolutions, but contributed to their very promotion, so as to gain tremendous returns through loans made by them at fabulous rates of interest. Whenever some alight damages were mysteriously done to alien's properties, again they benefited, as they never failed with the support of their respective legations to recover from the Haitian Government compensation far in excess of the actual damage done. "(2) The, following illustration tends to show conclusively that our finances were better taken care of prior to the present quasi-military administration: It is a statement of our foreign debts, submitted to Congress by the Secretary of the Treasury as of April, 1915: Loan 1875—Balance due on loan of 1875, 32,912.65 francs. This balance was subsequently met at maturity. Loan 1906—Balance overpaid, 85, 328.50 francs; loan 1910, balance due, 1,076,318.50 francs. It can be seen that up to 1818 our foreign obligations were regularly met. Since the occupation two payments have been made, one in 1817 and the other in 1922. In regards to domestic debts, the very fact that three successive loans were launched successfully, in 1914, and later fully covered, proves conclusively that our finances were not in the chaotic state alleged by the Department of State. At this time the funds of the republic are being used freely and no accounts have been given to the people. Our machinery, our control, consisting of the legislature's chambers and a board of accounts, have been suppressed and those having custody of the funds are their own auditors. The Constitution of Haiti provides that to be eligible to the office of President, one must be born of an Haitian father, and must never have let his nationality. Mr. Louis Porso, the actual President, was born of a French father, who became an Haitian in 1874. At that time Mr. Borne, born in 1865, was nine years old, and could ever have been President of Haiti except for the support of the military occupation. POWER By ARHTUR McNAIR Universal spirit, love.

Right-thinking Americans are not enthusiastic over the Republican administration's record in the Philippines; the appointment of Leonard Wood as governor-general to molly him because he had been cheated out of a presidential nomination by Jake Harmon; the inauguration of a military government by Wood; the persecution of native leaders who were leading the people in a constitutional fight for freedom, and the case with which Wood's son tickled the cables and made millions in the stock market. These occurrences left a stench in the public nostrils, but the worst stench rises today and the Republican party newspapers are doing their best to lift a smoke, screen to offset it. A court martial of American army officers has sat in judgment upon 204 native Filipinos who were enlisted in that branch of the army called the Philippine Scouts, and this court-martial has found the Filipinos guilty and has sentenced them to five years in prison. The offense these men committed was to refuse to serve longer unless they were paid the same wages as Americans who were rendering similar service.

"And Leonard Wood smiles and says, 'We must have discipline.'" The Filipinos are getting just the dose Britain gave the Irish and the Indians, just the dose Belgium gave the natives of the Congo, just the dose the tyrant has given the lover of liberty everywhere, alwa s. And Leonard Wood, the man Mr Coolidge applauds as a genius, was a little rural doctor until he praised Roosevelt, and Roosevelt returned the favor and lifted Wood above hundreds of trained army officers and made him a major-general. Then politicians decided to advance Wood, but Jake Harmon had his own candidate and he and Daugherty side-tracked the military genius. Next to being President, Daugherty felt that Wood would like to play emperor in the Philippines, and he has played emperor ever since he went there. The consequence is that the Philippines are in revolt. Ever, honest native would engage in armed rebellion tomorrow, but for the overwhelming odds against them. The natives are in the same position as the Irish Republicans—consumed with a love of liberty, but helpless, because of the strength of the controlling tyrant.

Virginia has furnished 45 teachers out of the total of 149 who have remained for the entire session of 12 weeks, while North Carolina has supplied 67 teachers. There were over 100 courses offered during the session by a staff of 48 instructors. Forty courses were offered during the second session by a staff of 14 instructors. To meet the needs of those working toward the bachelor's degree, five new courses were offered after the school was organized. Texas furnished three teachers for the first and one for the second session. New Jersey and Ohio furnished one each. The total banner enrollment went to North Carolina with 366.

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 united 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.

OUR WOMEN and WHAT THEY THINK-Edited by Mrs. Amy Jacques Garvey SCHOOL boys and girls are half way through vacation. Mothers, of course, are glad to be relieved of the "troublesome darlings." Fathers are worried over the prospects of providing the new school outfits, and in some cases the tuition fees. Children have different views of this back-to-school problem, according to their ages and the associations they have formed at school. After the first few days of return to school, when the friendly reunions are gone through, and the new classes assemble and old classes reassemble, the scholars—bright and dull—settle down once more to school routine; then the teachers will be able to judge the children who have thoroughly enjoyed their vacation and made good use of that period. Mothers particularly are responsible for the guidance of the children on vacation. They may not be together during the entire period, but a regular program should be mapped out from the close of school which will enable the little ones to return to school thoroughly rested, jubilant and happy, and yet not having forgotten all they learned during the previous school term. Parents are often very dissatisfied over school reports and, in many cases, mete out severe punishment to children who do not measure up to class standards. Sometimes a child's backwardness is due to physical defects, and often to bad home routine and control. Some mothers very foolishly believe that a child ought to be crammed for exam and insist on having a coach for the child all during vacation time. The result is that the child returns to school brain-fagged; he is sluggish, ill-tempered and loses all the joy out of school work. His exam results are poor and parents regret having spent so much money on him. But whose fault is it? Some children are compelled to study music during vacation, when they have absolutely no taste for same and would much prefer to be sent to fix up the garden. Mothers, fathers, there is still a few more weeks left, review the time already spent and try to make the closing weeks more beneficial to you and yours. Two of my readers have sent in very valuable suggestions as to the parents' conduct towards the children during this season. Both of them are mothers of large families, and are experienced in dealing with the youngsters. The following are their views and suggestions: Vacation rightly belongs to children. In most instances they have earned a justly entitled period of recreation. But what are we to do with them during this period? Are we to let them run riot, simply because definite periods of study are over and regular chores are to be abandoned? Not so, but rather they are to be guided in their play and directed in the affair, in which they have the right of choice. It is to be borne in mind that children are "bundles of energy, nurtured on environment, inherent and present," ever ready for a lark, yet at heart usually good and reliable. Our big task then is to harness this energy and use it to help the child, benefit society and do credit to the homes, from which the children come. Each day's play must be planned by some capable, directing agency. This agency is kept in the background. The child must not know that its play is being directed nor must it own dream that it has not its way in doing the things, which please it best. In the morning, during vacation, I have found it very helpful to allow the growing child to sleep until it wakes of its own will. Then some definite work may be planned in form of play. This action should be away from the gaze of the many and usually in the backyard or house. The object of such play-work is to fix in the child some needed quality which has been neglected. The afternoon should find a change of scene and of play. This should be followed by a short period of relaxation or absolute rest. Then a walk, a game of tennis, croquet, ball or some enjoyable outdoor game that calls for vigorous action. Night should find the child or children assembled for bedtime story telling or some indoor game that calls for less action and more thought. Some such plan followed by parents during the vacation will beget starting results. The child will be benefited, society will be helped and the parent made to feel that the time spent with the child was not wasted nor was it untimely. It goes without saying that if we would save our children, we must supervise them in their play and work. We must help them to make a choice, and leave our impress for good upon them. Habit fixes itself, and the boy or girl, whose vacation is undisturbed, never equals the boy or girl whose vacation is planned with a definite purpose to help that boy or girl to unfold his or her life in the proper light and environment. (Mrs.) MYRTLE E. CARTER. Bayonne, N. J. - It is becoming a matter of fundamental importance as to what our attitude shall be towards the growing boy or girl. It is even more important to know our attitude towards their vacation periods, or rather the interval between the closing and opening of school. Psychology has been of great assistance as regards plans and methods best fitted to help the child during these days of leisure. We are sold to the idea that children can learn much through play and this is really play-time period. Games in the morning should not be particularly strenuous, yet it is rather difficult to pick out any special form of play. Children no doubt will be guided largely by instinct. The supervisor's work will be more a matter of seeing that in whatever games played children gain some idea of what it means to act fair and square toward each other. The physical side of their lives ought not to be neglected. If a choice is made, see to it then, that for the particular time of the day the games are not too strenuous but provide rather for a wholesome recreation. The mental side of the game should receive the serious attention of the supervisor. Children should learn through play, but a large element in learning should be accompanied with pleasure. They cannot laugh too heartily nor enjoy themselves too thoroughly during this vacation period. It will relieve them from the stress and strain of their recent schoolroom experience. Too much emphasis cannot be laid upon the need of outdoor sports. Plenty of fresh air is both a physical and mental necessity. As the day lengthens and the child becomes weary there will be a need of changing the form of play; less physical and more mental. Here good books will play their part. As the boy is of an active mind the books must be of an adventuous type; stories of adventures on land or sea or out in the wilds. For the girls stories of home and school life. At the close of the day little confidential talks on questions of importance to growing boys and girls will form a fitting end to perhaps, an almost perfect day. Always bear in mind, however, that the child must never know in any way that you are trying to guide him. Otherwise he will develop a spirit of opposition and the work will be a failure.

Suggestions to Housewives Sheets of newspaper spread on the floor under a carpet are excellent for keeping away moths. They will never go anywhere near printers' ink. Light-colored carpets should be rubbed occasionally with a little black magnolia. This will keep them in excellent condition. To keep books on shelves or in cases in good condition, enginkle occasionally with powdered campher. Coarse fur, such as bear, buffalo. or even fox, may be washed with lukewarm water and a pure white soapsuds. Wipe the fur with a dry cloth and hang where it will dry quickly, then comb out with a coarse comb. When blankets have become thin and worn, lay them between sheets of silkoline or other covering and tuft them with ribbon or worsted. In place of the old untidy blanket there will be an attractive covering for the bed. Never leave medicine or any kind of a drink uncovered in a sick room. Keep honey in the dark. If exposed to the light, it will quickly granulate THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, AUGUST 30, 1924 FIRST BORN CHILD POOREST SPECIMEN SAYS WOMAN M. D. AMHERST, Mass.—Dr. Caroline Hedger of Chicago, originator of the famous parents' score card, astounded a gathering of New England farmers: wives in a farm and home lecture at the Massachusetts Agricultural College when she declared that the first born child of American parents is the poorest specimen while the fourth to eighth child of the family most nearly approaches perfection. "Heaven help the first-born child of any parents, no matter what their social condition," she said. Dr. Hedger passed around, her "parents' score cards" before the lecture, and while the women ventured timorously into pages of intimate questions she gave them sharp lecture on eugenics. It was an entirely unexpected angle to a lecture that had been announced as "a child's physical development." Dr. Hedger is connected with the Elizabeth McCormick Memorial of Chicago, and is regarded as one of the most vigorous champions of the child health movement in the Middle West. Fourth Child Best "The eugenics theory of having one or two children," Dr. Hedger told the farmers' wives, "is bunk. It has been proven that the first-born child is the poorest specimen, not only because the parents do not know how to train the child properly, but because perfect children are not reproduced before the fourth child." While Dr. Hedger strode across the platform firing facts and figures at the audience with her hands thrust deep into skirt pockets the farmers' wives were busy with their pencils marking the score cards. The cards are reckoned in merits and demerits according to the virtues and defects of the child and faults and fallings of the parents. Cause of Neurotic Children In Dr. Hedger's opinion American children are passing through an era of poor teeth, incorrect diet and nervous excitement. In an interview she said: "The children of this age don't get enough normal sleep. Radio, the movies, jazz music and a hundred other diversions keep them up late. They do not eat the right things. The invisable result is a neurotic and erotic child. "The only child is the unluckiest of all children. They are pampered and coddled to their disadvantage. It's a wonder that the only child survives and when they do survive the ordeal they are generally damaged seriously in the process." NOTES OF INTEREST The Truth About China is often asked, "What is wrong with China? Why are there so many robbers? Why has the republic not yet demonstrated its right to be classed with the stable, orderly and powerful nations? In proportion to numbers, it is questionable whether there are so many more robbers in China than in other equally extensive areas of the earth's surface. An honest man or an honest woman is about as safe in China as elsewhere. As to the other questions, Americans can get a fairly good idea of "What is wrong with China" by reading the history, of their own first twelve or fifteen years of independence, when State was arrayed against State, and all were more or less contemptuous of the Continental Government, which, because of excessive localism, was unable either to direct the affairs of the States or to manage affairs which belong of right to every central Government. During those years Europe looked with acorn upon America's feeble attempt to maintain even the semblance of dignity, and predicted confidently that "the great experiment" would not outlast the generation which had dared to enter upon it. Think of these troubles, and then remember that America's problems, concerned only a couple of millions of souls, occupying the comparatively small area of thirteen States. China has dared to attempt the same experiment with one-quarter of the human race in an area larger than Europe—Tlang Shih-Yi in Current History. Old and New Types "I don't understand that new woman next door," remarked Mrs. Gadder. "What's the trouble?" "She calls herself a seeker after the truth. I've told her everything I know about the people around here, but she doesn't seem to be the least hit interested."

Black Humanity Asks Itself This Question. and Answers by Uniting Under the Red, Black and Green for a Redeemed Africa By ANNA WASHINGTON Juvenile of Havdock, Iowa This question is often asked when a group of people are about to face a great calamity. When the European countries overstepped their bounds and sank American ships, no doubt this question was upon the tongue of every member of President Wilson's cabinet "what shall we do?" The answer is this question resulted in America playing her part in the world's war. When stage coaches proved to be unfit for carrying mail this question was asked, and the answer was the invention of the steam engine. When the Heavens were closed and man could not get in touch with God, this question was asked, and Christ, divine Savior, stepped forth and gave his life; shed his precious blood, that man might live. Why don't you know, were Africa freed today or tomorrow it would not help one Negro, but would help all Negroes. Then you black folks that haven't lost anything in Africa would be the first to brab about what we have done, and we haven't done anything but put sprays in the wheel of Negro progress. No. I haven't lost anything in Africa, but I certainly can find something, if it is no more than an ignorant Negro boy, or girl that I can help civilize, for God said, "Inasmuch as ye did unto one of these my little ones, ye did it also unto me." No, my grandmother hadn't lost anything in America, but she certainly found slavery. God gave Africa unto Ham and his seed.

Aug. 22.—The National Alliance of Polish Women in convention here took steps yesterday to have every woman of Polish blood in this country become a citizen of the United States.

Black Is Color of Fashion Says Prominent Importer BOSTON—Let the stockings supply the color note in the costume. Is the advice of an importer who has been urging black upon customers who must make a good appearance on a meagre income. Black gowns, black suits, black hats and black shoes, all are recommended by this authority as being very smart and also very kind and thrifty. Colored stockings will keep people from thinking you are in mourning. They may be nude, beige or gray, and if you are in particularly cheerful mood, blue, green or blush pink. There is nothing with which these colors can clash and by having a varied supply, variety enough is given the black costume. A bright belt, an artificial flower, a sting of heads, are also accessories to the black outfit, which liven it up and give it character and distinction.

Administration et Rédaction SAMEDI, LE 30 AOUT, 1924 RESUME D'UN CONFERENCE PRONONCE A LIBERTY HALL, LE LUNDI 18 AOUT, PAR LE REV. THEODORE STEPHENS L'Union Patriotique d'Haiti présente sa défense à la conscience du peuple américain par l'intermédiaire de la Universay Hon. Président de la U. N. I. A., Executifs, Hôtés d'honneur, MM. les délegués, Mesdames, M. M. Je n'ai nullement l'intention de prononcer aucun mot d'accusation contre ce grand et beau pays d'Amérique, aucune voix de récrimination contre les Etats-Unis n'est élevée par moi. Tous, nous connaissons le coeur magnanime de cette nation, et les oeuvres de charité pratiquées par le peuple américain. Nous savons comment l'Amérique sauva la vie des habitants des Indes, de l'Arménie, de Cuba, de la Russie, de la Chine, etc., quand ces pays furent ravagés par la famine. Nous savons, d'autre part, que à la grande Nation Etoilée qui, en 1916, sauva la civilisation quand, aux prises avec les puissances centrales, les nations alliées luttaient pour la justice, la démocratie, et l'autonomie des petits états. A l'Amérique donc, nous devons une éternelle reconnaissance pour les hauts faits qui illuminent les pages glorieuses de son histoire. Une nation qui a joué un rôle aussi important, qui a pris part au travail du monde entier, ne saurait être coupable d'aucun acte d'injustice envers un petit état, envers un peuple faible, qui, nonobstant, lutte pour zauvegarder l'autonomie conquise par le sang de ses immortels guerriers. Non! mille fois non! l'Amérique, grande par ses actes, grande part sa valeur morale, grande par la pratique de la justice, grande par sa magnanimité d'âme envers les faibles et les petits, l'Amérique, n'est dis-je, coupable d'aucun crime de lése-humanité contre Haiti—ses mains, à l'opposé de celles de Lady Macbeth, sont immaculées. Mais, malgré le beau mont de l'Amérique, malgré ses grands exploits, malgré les hauts feats qui, au nom de la grande république américaine retentissent encore à l'oculle de l'humanité, les troupes américaines se trouvent en Haiti en Nous manions un ce parvive pays qui n'est coupé d'un tort vis-à-vis des États-Unis? Nous seulement les marines américaines haissent et maltraient les habitants, mais les rédacteurs des journaux haïtiens sont jalpement jetés à la prison, pour soi-disant "délit de presse," tradis quaux États-Unis la presse est libre. L'occupation américaine est soi-disant en Haiti pour aider cette petite République soeur à diriger ses affaires, onmayer les révolutions, et diriger ses habitants dans la voie du progrès et de la haute civilisation. Ces préceptes, malheureusement sont restés à l'état de lettre morte; le peuple souffre, le peuple crie, le peuple demande le retrait de L'occupation américaine. Au nom de l'Union Patriotique je présente, par l'organe de la Universal Negro Improvement Association la demande juste et équitable du peuple Haitien à la conscience publique de cette grande nation qui mène la civilisation du monde occidental. Nous demandons au peuple américain, d'envoyer une commission d'enquête mixte pour étudier la situation en Haiti, et soyez sûre que les mandataires retourneront avec le verdict qu'Haiti est capable de "self-government," que le retrait de L'occupation est la base sine qua non de l'évolution du pays et l'avancement du peuple haïtien. qu'Haiti peut, sans aucune ingérence étrangère, diriger ses propres destinées et mener à bouin fin la barque nationale. Le peuple veut être libre du jong de cet esclavagisme américain, de cette conquête imperialiste de Wilson. Haiti plaide avec la grande nation américaine au nom des 800 haitiens qui, à Savaannah, Ga., cête-à-cité avec Washington, Lafayette, etc., prient part à la guerre de l'Indépendance américaine au nom de ses immortels auxux, elle demande que son autonomie lui soit rendue, sa place à la Société des Nations exige qu'elle soit complément libre, ses destinées comme pays indépendant et touverain sont les garanties de sa liberté nationale. Et puis, le passé d'Haiti ne cède en rien à celui des peuples libres. Nous nous souvenons avec orgueil est une noble fierté que ce pays a produit le plus généreux et les plus intégrés des guerriers des temps modernes, Toussaint L'Ouverture; qu'il est la patrie des Ogé, Chavannes, Jean Jacques Dessalines, Henri Christophe, Boisrond Tonnère; et qu'il leva l'étendard de la révolte au Vénézuela par le grand capitaine et guerrier Simon Bolivar. Haiti, grâce a sa culture latine, a produit dans les sciences et dans les arts, des hommes qui rivalisent de célebrité avec les auteurs français. Un peuple qui témoigne un tel rafinement dans la culture qui à prouvé dans le passé son amour pour l'indépendance et la liberté, et qui par le génie de son organisation s'en est montré digne, ne peut pas alliener ses droits imprescriptes et subir la domination étrangère quels qu'il oient les mobiles. Ce n'est pas seulement la conscience universelle qui doit se soulever, mais c'est la Société des Nations qui devrait adresser une solennelle protestation pour la violation du territoire d'un de ses membres-et la subordination d'un peuple dont ils doivent garanti l'automomie selon les clauses essentielles de leurs status. Comme je le mentionnais au début demon discours, Haiti qui a combattu aux cotés de Washington, de Lafayette, à Savannah, ne mérite pas d'être assetti par le pays à l'indépendance du quel. il a contribué par son courage indomptable et en versant générèusement de son sang. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, AUGUST 20, 1994 Un Appercu de la Situation en Haiti depuis l'Occupation Américaine Parmi les désiderata formulés par le peuple Haitien contre l'intervention des Etats-Unis dans le pays figurant: 1o. La Reconstitution du Congrès. 2o. Le retrait de l'occupation militaire. 1. La Constitution qui nous régit actuellement nous a été imposée à la pointe des baionnettes, comme l'a si justement dit l'ancien Président Harding dans son discours à Marion. On s'attendait donc à voir le gouvernement américain la respecter et tenir à son application stricte. Eh bien, c'est lui qui, par ses représentants ici, l'a constraini violé et continue à la violer. La Constitution prescrit que les élections législatives doit avoir lieu le 10 janvier de chaque année paire. Elle prévoit que, dans le cas où en certains endroits les élections n'ont pas lieu, le pouvoir exécutif convoquera immédiatement pour des élections complémentaires. Depuis 1907, il n'y a ni chambre, ni Sénat'est occupation représentée d'abord par le commandant de la brigade militaire et, depuis 1922, par un Haut Commissaire qui gouverne par l'intermédiaire d'un président fantome. Ce gouvernement refuse de faire les élections. Les électeurs ont introit duuit une action en justice l'année passée. Le tribunal a décidé, conformément à la Constitution, que les élections devaient avoir lieu le 10 janvier 1924. S'aupyant sur la décision de la justite et sur la Constitution, les électeurs ont voté pour les députés et les senateurs. Pour empiécher les citoyens d'aller à l'urne, le département de l'intérieur avait publié une note ou il déclarait qu'après un échange de vues avec le gouvernement des Etats-Unis, il n'y aurait pas d'élections. Forts de leur droit et armés de la loi et de la décision de la justice, les électeurs sont allés à l'urne. Le jour des élections, il y a eu une pression formidable. Les journaux ont rapporté que les électeurs ont été battus, on a arraché de leurs mains leurs bulletins, et violant le secret de vote, on en a la le contenu et dans beaucoup de bureau, on a refusé de laisser voter les électeurs qui venaient avec des bulletins portant le nom des candidats à la députation ou au Sénat. Dans chaque bureau de vote, il y avait un officier aménucin armé qui était la, sous prétexte de maintenir l'ordre, mais qui encouragait et aidait aux manœuvres et aux pressions arbitraires et les principaux leaders. Dans le département du Nord tout entier, il a été innompible de faire les elections législatives. Malgré tout cela, la majorité des sénateurs a été obtenue. Mais les députés ne sont pas en majorité. Le peuple proteste contre cette attitude des agents du gouvernement américain et des fonctionnaires haitien, ceux-ci trahissant le mandat qu'ils ont usurpé, pactisant avec les gouvernement et refusent de faire les élections complémentaires en s'apuyant sur les haitonnettes américaines. Le pays demande de élections complémentaires afin d'assurer définitivement la reconstitution des chambres législatives. 20. L'occupation continue à être un obstacle à notre marche et à l'amélioration matérielle et morale du peuple. Depuis l'arrivée des marines, des vices immondes ont été introduits dans le pays; la prostitution s'étend jusqu'aux fillettes à peine pubères. De petits garçons sont initiés à des pratiques qui ne furent guère commus avant l'occupation, même parmi des hommes faits. Les fonctionnaires américains qui sont imposés à l'administration Haitienne domine le gouvernement. Is ne reçoivent pas d'ordre des ministres qu'ils choisissent parmi des cityens serviles et traitres. Ils dépensent l'argent de l'Eatat Haitien sans contrôle. C'est un veritable scandale. Actuellement Mac-Crosson, aide du Haut Commissionaire et de l'ingénisur américain qui dirige le service de la Direction générale des travaux publiés, veut faire voter une loi par un corps incompetent appelé Conseil d'Etat afin de permettre au dit Mac-Crosson d'avoir les terres du département de l'artibonite. C'est l'étranglement rapide du peuple. Depuis quelques temps l'occupation lutte pour faire voter un projet de taxes internes contre lequel le peuple proteate énergiquement parceque ce projet sera ruine et sa mort. Le pays réclame donc avec raison les élections législatives complémentaires pour reconstituer le Congrès. Il réclame en outre, avec non moins de raison le retrait de l'occupation. Il réclame enfin le rétablissement total de sa souveraineté sars aucune ingérence étrangère. THE NEW YORK TIMES S.

LA BESTAURATION DE I'INDEPENDANCE DE LA REPUBLIQUE DOMINICAINE (Le Courrier Haitien.) Depuis samedi ont commencé dans la République voisine de grandes fêtes, pour célébrer la restauration de l'Indépendance Nationale. C'est avec une sincère émotion que le Courrier Haitien salute la libération du peuple dominicain qui, plus que ne le pense la généralité des Haitiens, souffre de l'état politique de ses frères de l'Ouest. Le nouvel emprisonnement de notre directeur, coincidant avec cette date glorieuse pour nos amis de la République Dominicaine, nous a empêchés de les féliciter comme nous aurions voulu, c'est-à-dire par câble et délegation. Que toutefois les representants officiels de la Nation Soeur ainsi que nos différents confrères de la presse, recoivent nos euthousiastes souhaits de longue prospérite à la République Dominicaine, dans son nouvel elan vers l'évolution nationale. Sénat d'Haiti Declaration Au cours du XIXe siècle, la Nation Haitienne et la Nation Dominicaine ont constitué sur le territoire de l'File d'Haiti deux Etats indépendants. Malgré des péripéties diverses, inherentes à la condition des peuples jeunes, cherchant leur stabilité politique, elles avaient trouvé le moyen de vivre dans le concert des Nations civilisées, tachant de maintenir l'ordre à l'intérieur de leurs frontières, et leur prestige exterieur par l'Observation rigoureuse de leurs obligation, internationales. Elles étaient liées aux grande Nations par des traités speciales sur des sujets divers et des Convention-signées dans des conferences internationales. En 1915 et 1916, le Gouvernement des États-Unis de l'Amerique n'ordon, pointant de la guerre enropenne en invaiblr le territoire de la République d'Haiti et de la République Dominicaine, sous les prétextes les plus toutes, ei détruisi les institutions politiques et leur independence. Pour des motifs, nous enconce avances, le gouvernement des États-Unis a decide de secreture de la République Dominicaine et de commuer l'occupation d'Haiti, en s'manteant un gouvernement militaire. L'un des premiers actes des Pouvoirs publiés dominicains reconstitue a cet Éveny à Port au Prince d'une commissure presde par le Secretaire d'État des Rèations Extérieures pour jouer a une paire reille Commission, fortune par le gouvernement de factor d'Haut en vue du règlement de l'question de frontières haitiogdominicains. L'un cancé par cette demande, a laquelle le publié haitien est born de s'attendie, a été grand, et le sentiment public exprime par la voie de la presse dans un sens netement detachable au règlement, dans le conflit privilège. Avant soutient de la même copition militaire et des nimes inscrites dans que le peuple dominicain, le Peuple Hautien avant le droit d'esperer que la communauté du malleau amant determine cette deux peuple une sollicitation, qui se manifesterait au moment que par cette surprise. Mais en présence de l'auxite générale, le chef de la Mission Dominicaine declarait une interview à la presse de Port-au-Prince, que l'initiative du projet de reglement actuel revient au gouvernement d'Haiti. La declaration du Secrétaire d'Etat Dominicain n'a jamais été contredit par le gouvernement Hautien. Elle constitue desormais la vaute sur la matière. Il incombe au Sénat, le seul corps du par la Nation Hautenne de protester à la fois contre l'initiative prise pair le gouvernement d'Haiti de provoquer dans les conditions préontes le règlement du différent haitiano-dominicain — et contre les pourpärlers actuellement en cours. S'il est vrai que, dans la République, voisine, les Gouvoirs publics ont été reorganisés d'après les lois et la Constitution, il demeure non moins évident que la République d'Haiti est encore militairement occupée, par l'armée des États-Unis du Nord en que le gouvernement qui, domine n'est pas la libre expression de la volonté populaire. Le peuple Haitien a bien éint le 10 Janvier dernier, un Sénat et quelques députés; mais le défaut de quorum a empêché jusqu'ici la Chambre des Députés de se constituer—et les fonctionnaires qui exercent le Ponvoir Exécutif n'ont pas jugé utile d'ordonnier la tenue des élection-complémentaires, conformément à la loi. Dans ces conditions, le consente- ment due Peuple Haltiea, qui ne peut-être exprimé que par ses mandataires élus et dans leur compétence constitutionnelle, ne pourra jamais être donné, sous forme de sanction législative. Le devoir du Sénat d'Haiti est de faire appel à la conscience de la Nation Dominicaine et aux sentiments nobles et droits de ceux qui la représentent, en rappelant au Peuple frère que le but des négociations actuelles sera inutil et vain, si le règlement projeté ne repose sur la libre discussion des intérêts de la Nation Haitienne et sur son consentement libre et légalement exprime. La paix par le Droit telle droit être la devise de toute conciliation internationale! L'AFFAIRE DE LYON Les marines des Etats-Unis accusées d'avoir tué des Haitiens — Trois mille Natiifs qui se sont révoltés contre les travaux forcés cités comme victimes (Le Courrier Haitien.) LYON: France — Les marines de Etats-Unis ont tué 3,000 Haitiens paisibles avec des bombés lancés d'acroplanes sur des villages où périent des femmes et des enfants. Mr. Dantés Bellegarde, ex-ministre d'Instruction Publique est ainsi chargé gageant une dure action, afin de porter devant l'Union Internationale des Associations pour la Société des Nations, la question de l'Occupation Militaire Américaine d'Haiti. Une lutte préliminaire eut lieu pour Savoir si le sujet devait être introduit devant la Commission politique de l'Union, entre les délégués de trente huit nations présent. ```markdown ``` Plusieurs delégués craignent la discussion de L'appel d'Hauti n'argumentat l'Phostilité de certaines groupes et ils s'éfortreient de contrarier la résolution presente par Mr. Bellegarde exprimant la sympathie de l'Union Internationale envers Hunt. Mr. Bellegarde résit à faire disenter sa résolution par la Commission, mais la proposition elle-même ne fut pas admise au voix. A se place une résolution fut adoptée qu'a note les fidences. Une crise politique Aux Philippines (Le Courrier Haitien) L'institution qui existe aux Philippines est très angulère et tout à fait datée cette de toutes les crises qui nous avons vu dans les autres passions orientales des nations colonisées. Les idées amusées vines de liberté, de democratie de self-government et de défiance, vis-à-vis de toute autre une représentative ont été libérément introduites dans les codes publiques aux Philippines, par l'intermédiaire de l'enseignement. Aujourd'hui les haigants des Philippines relient hauntement une independence dont ils ont été nourrisci cienciement par ceux qui les tiennent en escavage. Non seulement la théorie de la declaration de l'indépendance débats Unis qui dit que "les gouvernements reçoivent leufs vrais mandats des gouvernés "et les paroles d'Abraham Lincoln affirment qu'aucun homme n'est assez bon pour gouverner un autre sans son consentement, "ont été enseignées librement, mais le peuple des Isles s'est déjà vu donner aussi presque tous es pouvoirs de self-gouvernement. Le résultat naturel est que les leaders de la race ont acquis, non pas uniquement une habilité considérable dans l'art, mais aussi l'appetit de gouverneur — Traduit par le prof. L. J. Adata. Pensées Un peuple tier, même quand il est dans la plus grande detresse, ne veut pas qu'on *Humilie* même en lui faisant du bien. Ces ci-devant honnées gens portent, dans les vilaines-choses qu'on exige d'eux. L'exactitude scrupuleuse qu'ils metaient dans les bonnes, et leur esprit borne dans cette nouvelle mière de gouverner, qui ne leur était point connue, leur fait faire cent sottises, soit par maladresse, soit par grossiénéte. Is prenent la massue d'Hercule pour tuer une mouche, et pendant cet intile effort les choses les plus importantes leur échappent. *Mme de Stael*.

I refer to the attitude of Negro editors: toward Marcus. Garvey“and the Untversal Negro Impiovement Aano- elation. “I would fain remain silent upon-this aubject, but the seriousness of -the tssues involved bids me speak—speak boldly and fearlessly in behalt of truth and fair play. The hour hax struck for wielding the ax of truth. . Let the chipe fly and hit whom they may. ‘What. then, is the attitude of Negro editors toward Marcus’ Garvey and the Universal Negro Improvement Asao- elation? . But, before attempting to answer this question, let ux indtrate tt vital tm- portance by considering briefs the power and-importance of the press in general. Of all the agencies that mold and control public opinion, the. press fe the mont powerful. More prople are fafluenced by what ts printed In the paper than by what tx heard trom the pulpit, platform or radio, or keen from the stage. Never before wan the power of the press’ ao clearly demonstrated. of so universally recognized, as during the World War.” The press was the greatest agency for generating ‘and maintaining military morale, which was indispensable to all of the na- fiona participating in the conflict. Without this*morale, neither the com- hatanta nor the non-combatants would have or could have endured the pain and atrain of the war It was the antl. German propaganda, skilfully manipu- lated by the Allied press. that in the final analysia really determined the outcoma of the war. The press has the€power to influence the making or breaking of laws, the bullding up or tearing dgiwn of govern- mente, maintaining or destroying na- the press 1s the fostering mother of publje.sentiment. Thin brief consid- eration of the power of the presa em- phasizes the fmportance of the subject under consideration “Got Garvey” ‘Wht Is the attitude of Negro editors’ toward Marens Garvey and the United Negro Improvement Association? This attituds can ba expressed briefly by | the slogan. “Get Garvey: kill the Une versal Negra Improvement Associa tion "For. the last five years. this slogan, appirentiy, hac been your battle-ers in your treatment of Garvey ni the organization of which ha ts] the founder, ant the leading spirit Tour campaign of distortcon. misrep-| resentation, atase and ridicule ts, per: | hans unparalleled tp the testary of any j downtrodden rien strucsting for free. dom, independence and national power Your attitude has been a river of how tile and destructive criticism, rising “ir 1919, flowing in a ‘crooked direction and emptying tnto 1924.

Beware of the Gracks | Editors, bewaie of the Greeks bring- ing gifts! Other men-may ‘effllé in | your ‘faces, pat )bu on the shoulder and call you “exceptional” and brainy” Negroes: on the wings of flattery they may lift you to the: stare: they may dole out to you a few hundred, # few thousand, of even a few million dol- lars xe payment for “getting” Garvey and “idling the Universal Negro Im- provement Association. But in their heart of hearts they do not mean well toward our race: nor do they really admire and respect you. How. can they admire and respect men who, if be- fonging to thetr own race. they would denounce as arch-traitors? But even if they could admire an¢ respect you, how could you rejoice over being the object of admiration and respect pur- chased at the price of iberty of a suf- fering race? 5 In your effort to “get™ Garvey and. “kill the United Negro Improvement Association you have had recourse to many schemes: and tricks, some of which are very eubtia: You have pub- lished accounts of Garvey and the or- zantzation, he leads-caleulated to gen- crate in the minds of your readers dis- trust, ridicule, acorn and hatred for the man and the movement, while you have left unpublished the {tems that Would have the opposite paycholng:ent effect. “The evil ‘that men do lives after them: the good tm oft Interred with their bones." The mistakes, real or imaginary, that Garvey may. make. you check up and magnify: the rooe| that he does, you ignore and minimize. Thia attitude fe strikingly analagoun to the attitude of the white press towards the Negro race, . Well-Directed Propaganda The white press for long hat launched an antl-Negro propaganda which has had its diabolical effect upon | the minds of its white readers.

This follows as a logical sequevce fo the anti-Garvey. trick which I have Just d{scussed, although some of you may. not have been conscious of the connection.
