The Negro World

LET'S PUT IT OVER The Indispensable Weekly The Voice of the Awakened Negro The Negro World Reaching the Mass of Negroes The Best Advertising Medium A Newspaper Devoted Solely to the Interests of the Negro Race VOL. XVII. No. 4 NEW YORK, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1924 PRICE: FIVE CENTS IN GREATER NEW YORK TEN CENTS ELSEWHERE IN THE U.S.A. TEN CENTS IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES A FEW MEN IN THE LIBERIAN GOVERNMENT SOLD OUT THE COUNTRY TO THE FIRESTONE RUBBER COMPANY (WHITE) IN VIOLATION OF THE CONSTITUTION Our Fourth International Convention of the Negro Peoples of the World has risen and the delegates and deputies are now on their way back to their respective homes and habitats, to further promulgate and carry on the work of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, the cause for which they were assembled. Great has been the result of this august convention. We, as a people, ought to feel glad that there is in existence such a movement like the Universal Negro Improvement Association, to afford us the opportunity of legislating for our own common good rather than allowing us to depend upon the good will of others to do for us. There is no doubt about it, that the convention was a splendid success. As usual, we stirred the curiosity and attention of the whole world, and now that we have risen, the convention has left its program to be discussed by the entire civilized world. Among the many things that we did during the month of August, was to lay a foundation for the new education of our race, educating them to the policy of self appreciation and it is hoped that the four hundred million members of our race the world over will follow the advice given. The Enemies at Work During the whole of the convention and a little prior thereto, the enemies of our cause tried to provoke and confuse our deliberation by the many unpleasant things they systematically published against the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Our enemies in America, especially the Negro Republican politicians of New York, used the general time fuse to explode on our tranquility and thereby destroy the purpose for which we were met, but as is customary, the Universal Negro Improvement Association is always ready for the enemy. They had arranged among themselves to get certain individuals of the Liberian government along with Ernest Lyons, the Liberian Consul-General, in Baltimore, himself a reactionary Negro politician of the old school, to circulate through the Negro press and other agencies such unpleasant news purported to be from Liberia as to create consternation in our ranks and bring about the demoralization that they hoped and calculated for, but as usual, the idiots counted without their hosts. The Universal Negro Improvement Association cannot be destroyed that way, in that it is not only an organization, but it is the expression of the spiritual desires of the four hundred million black peoples of the world. Our Colonization Program As everybody knows, we were preparing to carry out our Liberian colonization program during this and succeeding months. Every arrangement was practically made toward this end. Men were shipped to Liberia as well as materials to the cost of over $50,000.00. Two consignments of materials were shipped from New York, one on the 25th of June, 1924, and the next on the S. S. West Irmo, on the 25th of July, 1924, consigned to the Association, in care of Chief Justice J. J. Dossen, of Cape Palmas, Liberia, in keeping with the understanding and arrangements entered into with the Universal Negro Improvement Association and the representatives of the Liberian government, and a local committee of Liberians, appointed in said government by the direction of President Charles King, all of which culminated in a higher industrial and commercial development of Liberia as a permanent home for the black race, in keeping with the constitution of that great little black republic. Unfortunately, after all arrangements had been made in this direction, our steamship secured to carry the colonists and all plans laid, these enemies of progress worked in every way to block the carrying out of the plan. For the purpose of deceiving the public and carrying out their obstruction, they tried to make out by the protest that was filed by Ernest Lyons of Baltimore, with the government at Washington, that our Association was of an incendiary character and that it was the intention of the organization to disturb the good relationship that existed between Liberia and other friendly powers. A greater nonsense could not have been advanced by any idiot. What could an organization like the Universal Negro Improvement Association do to destroy the peace of countries that are already established and recognized? It is supposed that England and France are the countries referred to when, in fact, the authors of that statement know that England and France are only waiting an opportunity to seize more land in Liberia and to keep Liberia in a state of stagnation, so as to justify their argument that the blacks are not competent of self-government in Africa as well as elsewhere. If Edwin Barclay had any sense, he would know that the Universal Negro Improvement Association LIBERIA WAS FOUNDED BY AMERICANS AS A HOME FOR THE BLACKS SELFISH NEGROES SELL OUT THE RIGHTS OF THEIR RACE JUST AT THE TIME WHEN THE WHOLE WORLD OF NEGROES WAS ORGANIZING TO HELP MAKE THE COUNTRY A GREAT NATION Shock of the Treachery Killed the Greatest Patriot of Liberia and Africa, Hon. James J. Dossen, Chief Justice of Liberia for Thirteen Years He Had Already Received First Two Shipments of Material from U. N. I. A. to Build First Colony on Cavalla River—Appeal to Be Made to Liberian People and Senate to Stop the Rape of the Country—Liberia Is the Only Spot Left for the Blacks in Africa—Will Negroes Sell Their Souls, Race and Country for Money?—Let Us Build Up a Great Merchant Marine is more friendly to Liberia, because it is made up of Negroes, than England and France could be in a thousand years. Lyons' protest was camouflage. Negroes Double-Crossing them, so, like China and other places, there will be such complications as to ultimately lead to the abrogation of all native control and government and the setting up of new authority in a country that once belonged to the natives. The Rape of Liberia It is the duty of every Negro in the world to protest against this rape of Liberia encouraged by those who are responsible for giving the concessions to the Firestone Rubber and Tire Company. Why, nearly one-half of the country has been given away and, when it is considered that out of the twelve million square miles of Africa, only Liberia is left as a free and independent black country, it becomes a shame and disgrace to see that men should be capable of giving away all this amount of land to the same people who have possession of over nine-tenths of the country's area. Bright Future for Race We beg to advise, however, the members and friends of the Universal Negro Improvement Association all over the world, that what has happened has not obstructed much the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association as far as our colorization plans are concerned. All that we want is that everybody get behind the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company and send us the necessary amount of money to pay for our first ship and secure other ships so as to carry out our trade contract with the Negroes of Africa, West Indies, South and Central America and these United States. The Association is devoting its time and energy now to building up an international commerce and trade so as to stabilize Negro industry. There is much for us to do. In taking the raw materials from our people in Africa to America, as well as the West Indies, South and Central America to the United States and taking them back to them our finished and manufactured products in exchange, we have a whole world of industrial conquest to make and it can be done splendidly if each Negro will give us the support that is necessary. We want money to put the program over and that you must give now. We want not only one, two or three ships, but we want dozens of ships, so that every week our ships can be going out of the ports of New York, Philadelphia, Boston, Baltimore, New Orleans, Savannah or Mobile for Liberia, Sierra Leone, Gold Coast, Lagos, Abyssinia, Brazil, Argentina, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Honduras, Jamaica, Barbados, Trinidad, British Guiana and British Honduras. Let our ships be on the seven seas, taking our commerce to England, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, China and India. The chance of making good in commerce and trade is as much ours as it is other races and so we call upon you everywhere to get behind the industrial program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. If we can control the field of industry we can control the sentiment of the world and that is what the Universal Negro Improvement Association seeks for the four hundred millions of our race. Move the Little Barriers So, the little barriers that have been placed in the way by the envious and wicked of our own race can easily be removed if we will get together and work together. Now that the convention has risen, let us redouble our energy everywhere to put the program over. Let us work with our hearts, soul and minds to see that everything is accomplished for the good of the race. We must have our ship in action by next month. At least, we are calculating to have our ship sail out of New York by the 20th of October, laden with the first cargo for the tropics, and to bring back to us tropical fruits and produce, and from thence to sail for Africa the land of our fathers. Help us make this possible. Support the Black Cross Navigation Co. All those who are desirous of going to Africa will communicate with us at headquarters for instructions, but let everybody help us to pay for the ship now. Seventy thousand dollars more is wanted and we must have it immediately. You can help us by loaning to the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company whatsoever you can afford for five or ten years, $25, $50, $100, $200, $300, $400, $500, $600, $700, $800, $900 or $1,000, and do it now; and, if this is done, we are sure to defeat the enemy and carry the cause to victory. Send in your loan to the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company, 56 West 135th Street, New York, U. S. A. With very best wishes for your success, I have the honor to be. Your obedient servant UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION. New York City, September 2, 1924. P. S.—All branches, chapters, divisions and members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association are now asked to do their best to help the Parent Body carry out its program for the new convention year. We want all the money possible to finance the many projects we have before us as determined at the fast convention. All those who have not sent in money in hand for the Convention Fund, do so immediately. Let everybody help. PROCEEDINGS OF FOURTH INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION PROCEEDINGS COME TO A CLOSE AFTER ARDUOUS WEEK'S SESSIONS, REPLETE WITH ABLE AND INTERESTING DEBATES Officers Elected and Appointed for the Next Four Years at Considerably Reduced Salaries—New Blood Introduced Through Offices of Counsel General and Minister of Labor and Industry THE TASK OF AMENDING THE CONSTITUTION EFFICIENTLY COMPLETED — PRESIDENT-GENERAL GIVEN POWER TO DISMISS ANY OFFICER, AFTER TRIAL BEFORE PRIVY COUNCIL, IF AN ELECTED OFFICER Auditors to Be Appointed in Divisions to Make Monthly Check — Provision Made to Halt the Operations of the Unscrupulous Who Prey Upon the Branches THE SUBJECT OF DEATH GRANTS RECEIVES FULLEST DISCUSSION—DEATH LEVY INCREASED TO 25 CENTS The Fourth International Convention of the Negroes of the world held under the auspices of the Universal Negro Improvement Association has passed into history, and ere this issue is off the press many of the delegates and deputies who had journeyed from afar will be on their way to their respective homes, their hearts overflowing with love for the cause that brought them hither, and their heads filled with news to take back to their constituents of the most successful and epoch-making gathering of Negroes ever assembled anywhere. The business sessions of the convention closed on Saturday, August 30, at which time the lengthy program of subjects outlined for the convention was completely disposed of, the necessary legislation enacted and plans laid for the guidance of the organization towards its destiny of working out the salvation of the four hundred million Negroes of the world, seeking their uplift and development along all lines of human endeavor and ultimately establishing for them a government in their fatherland. Africa. On Sunday, August 31, at Carnegie Hall, the closing scenes were enacted when 5,000 people assembled in mass meeting to review the work of the convention for the entire month and bid farewell to the delegates and deputies whom they had entertained for the whole month with the utmost hospitality. Then, in the evening at Liberty Hall, an unique event took place in the form of devotional services during which the canonization of Jesus Christ as the black Man of Sorrows, and the Virgin Mary as a black Madonna, was solemnized. All, in all the convention has been an unqualified success and marks a turning point in the life of new Negroes whose consciousness has been aroused by the teachings of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. It has demonstrated to the world the ability of the Negro to get together and soberly and dispassionately deliberate on constructive measures for the solution of their own problems without the aid or assistance of an alien, race that has for hundreds of years unsuccessfully vouchsafed and endeavored to solve the Negro problem. The world today knows of the solemn conclave that assembled in Liberty Hall, New York, during the month of August, 1924, for the local press has followed with keen interest the proceedings of the convention and given them unprecedented publicity. A SIGNIFICANT FEATURE It is significant that no semblance of disorder or friction prevailed during the whole month to mar the success of the convention, despite the fact that efforts were made by several opposing forces to disrupt the convention and destroy the morale of the membership of the organization. First came the news shortly after the opening of the convention that Hon. Marcus Garvey was indicated in the Federal courts for alleged false statements in filing his income tax, and then towards the close of the convention the news that the Liberian government had repudiated Garvey and the organization and looked with disfavor upon the emigration of Negroes connected with the organization to Liberia. Notwithstanding these distracting occurrences; the delegates and deputies maintained a consummate interest throughout the whole month and did not allow anything to divert them from the task they had come to accomplish. Their conduct was tersely stated by Hon. Marcus Garvey when in closing the convention he said, "It is noteworthy that we were able to conduct a convention for twenty-nine or thirty days without even finding it necessary to appoint a sergeant-at-arms or anyone else to keep order, notwithstanding the fact that the delegates and deputies came from different parts of the world—the South meeting the East, the East meeting the West the West meeting the North, the man from Barbados meeting the man from Jamaica. It shows that the Negro is getting where he should be, and if we can mobilize the 400,000,000 of us all over the world after the example of our efforts here in the last thirty days, we will have one gorious victory for Africa and for the race." Back of the attitude of the Liberian Government was seen the sinister influence of the British Government, together with that of certain greedy American capitalists seeking concessions in Africa and last but not least, the influence of the arch-enemy of the movement and the race, W. E. B. DuBois. The convention was not slow to discover the sources from which the counter propaganda emulated and placed itself indelibly on record in condemning them. The Liberian Government, it was clearly shown by documentary evidence, had sonnersaulted and was acting in violation of the spirit of their constitution in attempting to debat persons of color from emigrating to Liberia. The convention therefore unanimously passed a resolution protesting against the action of the Liberian Government in preventing the Universal Negro Improvement Association from carrying out its program for the good of the people and the country, and against its attitude in discriminating in its emigration policy in violation of the spirit of the constitution, and further requesting the Congress of Liberia by petition not to grant the concessions sought by the Firestone Rubber and Tar Company, as it is the belief that it would-create a condition that would ultimately lead to the destruction of the autonomy of Liberia. OSTRACISM: OF DuBOIS condemned the attitude of W. E. Bing the following resolution: fact that W. E. B. DuBois has it the progress of the Universal to the loss and detriment of the real occasions gone out of his way a redemption, that he be proclaim The convention condemned the attitude of W. E. B. DuBois by unanimously passing the following resolution: "In view of the fact that W. E. B. DuBois has continually attempted to obstruct the progress of the Universal Negro Improvement Association to the loss and detriment of the Negro race and that he has on several occasions gone out of his way to try to defeat the cause of Africa's redemption, that he be proclaimed as ostracised from the Negro race as far as the Universal Negro Improvement Association is concerned, and from henceforth be regarded as an enemy of the black people of the world." The last week's sittings of the convention were devoted principally to amending the constitution-enacting laws for the good government of the organization, and electing the executive officers. The retiring elective officers of the executive council were re-elected unanimously with acclamation, the president-general, Hon. Marcus Garvey, being swept back into office by overwhelming applause that gave convincing indication of the belief and confidence placed in his leadership. The following officers were re-elected: Hon. William L. Sherrill, second assistant president-general, and Titular leader of American Negroes; Hon. Rudolph E. Smith, third assistant president-general and titular leader of Negroes of the West Indies, South and Central America; Lady Henrietta Vinton Davis, fourth assistant president-general. The following appointments were made by Hon. Marcus Garvey, with the approval of the convention: Sir Clifford Bourne, chancellor; Sir Levi Lord, auditor-general; Hon. G. E. Carter, secretary-general; Hon. Percival-Burrows, first assist- THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1924 Wilmer Roberson, minister of legions; Hon. Freeman L. Martin, counsel-general; Hon. James A. Hassell, minister of labor and industry. Following is the summary report of the last week's proceedings: ant secretary-general; Hon. N. G. Thomas, second assistant secretary-general; Sir James O'Meally, high commissioner general; Hon. MONDAY MORNING, AUGUST 25 The convention assembled at 10 a.m. The Speaker, Hon. Marcus Garvey, in the chair. After prayers, the minutes of the previous session were road and confirmed. Amending the constitution was the order of the day. The speaker-in-convention said he had a suggestion in regard to section 3a of Article VII of the constitution, which read as follows: arisen, consigned the chair to the Hon. G. E. Carter, Secretary-General. On motion by Hon. Joseph Cralgen. Detroit, seconded by Hon. Dr J. J. Peters, it was unanimously agreed that the last submitted by the Speaker be accepted in toto. The convention then adjourned. MONDAY AFTERNOON, AUG. 25 The afternoon session of the convo- "All officials of the Universal Negro Improvement Association shall be paid their salaries at the minimum, which shall be half of the maximum, and each shall be allowed to earn the maximum by ability and fitness, which maximum shall be paid at the end of each month according to the record of such official." He suggested that that section he struck out and a fixed scale of wages substituted. The time has come, he said, when the association has to effect retrenchment in the matter of salaries. It was not so much what the office was worth as what the association could afford to pay as the present time. The action of the convention of voting big salaries in the past had embarrassed the organization, owing to the disloyalty of certain officers who drew and cued for salaries which they did not earn, the administration being powerless to prevent this, as it could not dispense with services of officers elected by the convention. He suggested that the salaries of the various officers be fixed as follows: President-General, $5,000.00. First Assistant President-General, $3,000.00. Deputy Supreme Potentate, $3,000.00. Second Assistant President-General, $2,500.00. Secretary-General, $2,250.00. High Chancellor, $2,250.00. Third Assistant President-General $2,000.00. Fourth Assistant President-General $2,000.00. High Commissioner-General, $2,000. Auditor-General, $2,000.00. Minister of Labor and Industry, $1,750.00. Minister of Legions, $1,750.00. First Assistant Secretary-General $1,750.00. Second Assistant Secretary-General. $1,750.00. The convention proceeded to deal with the suggested list, taking each office separately. After some discussion, in the course of which the view was expressed that the President-General and the Auditor-General salaries be increased by $1,000 and $250, respectively. The caliber of the Supreme Deputy Potentate, the President-General, the First-Assistant President-General. Second-Assistant President-General. Secretary-General the Chancellor and the Auditor-General were fixed as suggested. Considerable discussion ensued when the salary of the Fourth Assistant President-General, the present holder of that office being Lady Henrietta Vinton Davis, was being fixed. Several thought the figure insufficient, but it was pointed out that it would be impossible to increase her salary without revising the whole scale. The Speaker stating that as President-General, he was somewhat embarrassed over the issue that had Genuine BAYER ASPIRIN which contains proven directions Handy "Bayer" boxes of 12 tablets Also bottles of 24 and 100—Drugsite A feature of Monsanto's chests of Salmon arisen, consigned the chair to the Hon. G. E. Carter, Secretary-General. On motion by Hon. Joseph Craigen, Detroit, seconded by Hon. Dr. J. J. Peters, it was unanimously agreed that the list submitted by the Speaker be accepted in toto. The convention then adjourned. MONDAY AFTERNOON, AUG. 25 The afternoon session of the convention was devoted to the continuation of the consideration of a revised title for the salaries of the high officials. The Hon. Marcus Garvey, speaker, suggested that provision be made for the salaries of the consul general, surgeon-general, minister of education, chaplain general and the international organizer, the 'positions of which are not now filled, owing to the present financial position of the organization. He did not suggest the filling of the offices this year, but when conditions are more favorable. A general discussion arose as to the desirability of the payment of such officers. Hon. J. A. Hassell of Seattle moved that no more offices be filled than already needed to and that such officers be given a 5 per cent bonus per annum if they worked faithfully. The motion was declared to be out of order, as it referred to past legislation. Hon. Dr. J. Peters of Chicago questioned the wisdom of making provision for the payment of the surgeon-general. He did not know what his function would be, but thought, as occurs in the divisions, that some doctor would rather pay for the honor of being so designated. Admitting payment was necessary, he thought the figure too small for a whole time officer. In the ensuing discussion Hon. Fron- martin Martin of St. Louis; R. A. Martin and R. Bachelor of Cuba and Baxter of Jamaica spoke as to the fact that the activities of such an officer would be limited to New York, except he went on lecture tours, and thought he should not be paid. Hon. J. Eaton of Virginia also agree with this. Hon. H. Boad- and Amelia Sayers of New York pointed out that such an officer was very necessary in connection with the Legions and the Black Cross Nurses. Hon. Bishop McGuire did not think that the salaries suggested were su- ficient for professional men to devote all their time and made the supra- sition that such offices be titular or honorary. Hon. F. Johnson of Detroit moved that the offices of surgeon-general, chaplain-general and international or- ganizer be honorary. Hon. Arnold J. Ford of New York recorded, and the motion was carried. Some discussion arose as to the desirability of paying the consul-general but the speaker pointed out, along with other members, that a permanent lawyer was necessary to advise on the many small and large matters that always crop up in an organization like this. Hon. F. Johnson of Detroit moved that the salary he $3,000 per annum. Hon. J. Peters did not think that officer should be paid, especially as another lawyer was usually employed whenever there was a case. Eventually it was agreed to pay the amount proposed in the motion. Another discussion arose as to the position of minister of education. The salary suggested by the speaker was $2,000. His work is to take charge of educational matters connected with the whole organization, including propaganda. Hon. J. Craigin of Detroit moved that the minister of education be paid $2,000. Hon. A. J. Ellinburgh of Gary seconded, and the motion was carried. A discussion took place as to the wisdom of incorporating the positions of minister of labor and that of first assistant president-general. The speaker stated that those were two of the most important positions, as each had very responsible duties to perform. The question then arose as to the playing of dual salaries. Hon. Wallace of Illinois reminded the speaker that the last convention had legislated against such a thing. The speaker said he remembered the fact, but unfortunately in revising the constitution somehow or other this law had been left out. It was decided that the section should be re-exacted. Eventually it was decided not to amalgamate the two offices. The meeting adjourned until the evening. Monday Evening, August 25 The Convention returned at 8:30 this evening, when the Chair, was occupied by Lady Helenrietta Vinton Davis, Fourth Assistant President General. There was a large attendance, definite the fact that an admission of 25 cents was charged, a moving picture entertainment being staged after the meeting. The minutes of the afternoon session were read and on motion duly made and seconded were adopted. Lady Davis expressed her great pleasure at being in Liberty Hall again after her trip abroad in the West Indies and Central America, in the interests of the Universal Negro Improvement Assn. She extended a hearty welcome to all present and spoke 'encouragingly' of the whole-hearted co-operation the people in the places she had visited were giving to the work of the Association and their unbounded enthusiasm over the ship that had been acquired by the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Co. She called upon, Dr. J. J. Peters of Chicago to be the first speaker for the evening. Dr. Peters spoke on the subject of "The Approaching Peril." He predicted an eternal crash that was inevitably coming through the struggle of races and nations to find their rightful place in the world and maintain an existence. The members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, he declared, were more cognizant of the impending peril than any other group of Negro people because of the fact that the Universal Negro Improvement Association through its leaders and through its doctrines preached every day from the liberty halls throughout the world was keeping them informed of world conditions and stimulating within them the thought of nationhood. He warned Negroes to prepare themselves industrially and economically to meet the coming crisis by linking up with the Universal Negro Improvement Association and support with their money the programme which it was advocating. He stressed the need of ships as an essential factor in the fulfillment of the programme and urged upon everyone to make a sacrifice in order to contribute their share towards brining the steamship proposition to a successful issue. He pleaded for loyalty to the organization, adding that if the members remained loyal and people recognized that they were doing something everybody, even the embulbs, would flock to the organization—Dubois and all his honchmen would fall into line if the organization was able to successfully establish its steamship line. The next speaker was Hon. Samuel Haynes, who made a vivid account of his trip abroad in company with Lady Davis. The divisions wherever he went, he said, were working wonderfully to put over the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Assn. Economic conditions, however, were deplorable, especially in those places where the influence of the British Government was felt. In the island of Jamaica some of the people were dying of starvation because of the abominable laws which deprived them of the means of a livelihood and prevented them from leaving the country. The British Government in the West Indies was determined to starve out the Negro; it refused to give him employment, not because there is no source of employment, but because Great Britain has been afraid of the propaganda of the Universal Negro Improvement Assn. It was the policy of the white man everywhere to suppress the Negro and exterminate him because through the propaganda of the U. N. I. A. the Negro had found himself, but the Negro was determined that whereas the white man said that he must die, the Negro said that he must live. It was imperative at this time that the steamship programme must be put over to save the Negroes in the West Indies and Central America from starvation. We must have ships, he declared, because Negroes in those places are depending solely on the industrial and commercial program of the organization. We must have ships if Africa is going to be redeemed. The redemption of Africa is right around the corner: the Negroes of the U. N. I. A. held in their hands the key which unlocks the door to African redemption, and all that was necessary was for the membership to hold fast and support the organization. After the meeting the audience was entertained by motion pictures in which Negro life was shown on the screen. TUESDAY MORNING, AUGUST 25 The convention was called to order at 10.50 a.m. the delegates arriving late owing to rain. Hon Marques Garvey, Speaker, occupied the chair. After prayers the minutes of the two previous sessions were read and confirmed, with necessary corrections. The Speaker said something had been said at a previous session on the subject of compensation for those officers that had done ex-optionally well, and suggested that the convention deal with that question so that the salary matter may be definitely settled. He advised that this convention pause before placing any law as to special compensation in the Cons. Hon. C. H. Kryant, Costa, Rica, was of opinion that the matter should rest with the salaries as fixed. Hon. W. S. Vaughan, Youngetown, Ohio, suggested some scale of compensation for officers based on the amount of money raised in the field. Hon. Prof. D. H. Kyle, Clarksville, W. Va. was of opinion that, inasmuch as the President-General was in a better position than any to judge the situation, his scale of salaries should stand as the only reward for service on the part of executives. He moved that no changes along the line of remuneration be made, but that the suggestion of the administration be followed. Hon. C. H. Bryant, Costa Rica, seconded. The motion was thrown open for discussion. Hon. W. A. Wallace, Illinois, felt that the convention should not overlook the necessity for rewarding merit and service when such qualities were found. In regard to the compensation for officers on a basis of money raised in the field, he pointed out that some officers never went on the field and yet did as useful, if not more useful, work than some who went campaigning. The idea was also faulty, inasmuch as in order to get results beneficial in the first degree to the organization it might be necessary to foreign monetary results. He suggested that the officers be made to report monthly and annually to the convention. The Speaker pointed out that a system of daily reporting had been instituted by the administration with bad results, officers failing to report after a time. Hon. Dennis Washington, Louisiana, spoke on the great loyalty of the Louisiana divisions and subscribed to the view that the President-General's suggestion in regard to compensation should be accepted. Hon. J. Craigan, Detroit, emphasized that sacrifice on the part of officers was necessary, referring to his personal sacrifice in refusing a $190 a week job to accept a third of that working for the Universal Negro Improvement Association. He moved the following motion, accepting amendments for indemnity by Hon. Mea Bowd, New York, and Hon. J. A. Hassell, Seattle. "That all executive officers make a daily report in triplicate to the President-General, the Chancellor and the Secretary-General of their work in the field and at headquarters and of all financial transactions, so that same can be summarized in monthly reports and finally in annual reports to the convention, and upon failure to make such reports such officer or officers shall be considered not to have worked on and to have forfeited salaries for the days on which such reports were not made. Hon. C. H. Bryant, Costa Rica, seconded. Hon. J. B Eaton drew applause as speaking on the motion, he deprecated the idea that the salaries voted the various officers were insufficient. Which of them could earn such salaries in these strenuous times outside? he asked. These same strenuous economic conditions made it imperative that the poor people, who had to pay those salaries, sacrifice in order to meet their obligations. At this stage Hon. Rudolph Smith, Third Assistant President-General, joined the discussion, making a plea ad misericordiam to the convention. He felt aggrieved, he said, that the services rendered by him to the organization had not received commensurate appreciation from the administration. The speaker challenged the Hon. The Speaker challenged the Hon. greatman, to tell the conversation who had been the result of his recent efforts on the field. Hon. Smith did so, and after further discussion the motion was put to the house and unanimously carried. Hon. Freeman L. Martin, St. Louis said he had drawn up in proper form the amendments to the Constitution article VII, embodied in the motion passed in regard to salaries at a previous session. He had done so in the desire to have everything kept straight The amendments were as follows: Salaries of high officials—Article VII—Section. 3.A. That the following annual salaries shall be paid to the following named officials of the High Executive Council of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League. To wit: Per year Supreme Deputy ..... $3,000 1st Asst. Pres. General ..... 5,000 Counsel General ..... 3,500 2nd Asst. Pres. General ..... 2,500 Secretary General ..... 2,250 Chancellor ..... 2,250 3rd Asst. Pres. General ..... 2,000 4th Asst. Pres. General ..... 2,000 Minister of Education ..... 2,000 Auditor General ..... 2,000 High Commissioner General ..... 2,000 1st Asst. Secretary General ..... 1,750 Minister of Legions ..... 1,750 Minister of Labor & Industry ..... 1,750 2nd Asst. Secretary General ..... 1,500 Sec. 3-B. That the offices of Surgeur General, Chaplain General and Inten- tional Organizer shall be that ohery without salary. Sec. 3-C. That Sec. 3-A. Art. VII. and all other sections and parts of sections in conflict herewith, be, and the same are hereby repealed. Sec. 3-D. That the schedule of salaries set forth above shall become effective and operative at the rising of this convention. Sec. 3-E. That the aforesaid annual salaries shall be paid bi-monthly as of the lst and 15th of each month. Hon. J. Craiglen, Detroit, describe this action on the part of the honorary member from St. Louis as premature. The Speaker differed, and upon motion for acceptance by Hon. Dr. J. Peters, Chicago, seconded by Hon. H. V. Plummer, New York, the amending draft was received. The convention theresafter adjourned TUESDAY AFTERNOON, AUGUST 2 Hon. Freeman L. Martin of St. Louis introduced amendments to the section of the Constitution governing the dismissal of officers. The amendments provided that the President-General be given power *o* peremptorily dismiss an officer or *o* offi'l of the High Executive for disloyalty; inefficiency or insubordination. Considerable discussion ensued, now of the delegate, objecting to the grant of such autocratic power to any official. It was thought to be not only unfair to the present administrator, in whom it was true, every confidence was reposed, but was unfair to the association, because a probable successor to the President-General may take advantage of the (Continued on page 18) DELEGATION SENT TO LIBERIA 1923-1924 GIVES REPORT TO CONVENTION REPUDIATING FALSE STATEMENT THAT THERE WAS NO AGREEMENT WITH LIBERIAN GOVERNMENT TO COLONIZE LIBERIA AGREEMENT EXISTED FROM 1921 AND RECONFIRMED IN 1924 TO BUILD FOUR COLONIES IN BLACK REPUBLIC TO HELP MAKE IT ONE OF WORLD'S GREATEST NATIONS Edwin Barclay, Acting President in 1921, When King Was on Way to America Signed Document, and President King in 1924 Appointed Local Committee of Liberians Consisting of Vice-President Wesley, Ex-Presidents Barclay and Howard, Honorable Chief Justices Dossen, Dixon, Brown, J.

"Guard the child's teeth" WRIGLEY'S is a wonderfull help to keep teeth clean and sound, for it clears out the crevices, makes the mouth sweet and removes acid conditions from which most people suffer. A prominent physician says: "It is surprising how free from decay the teeth can be kept by using gum after each meal."

Marcus Garvey, Speaker in Convention, presided. The usual hymn was sung, and the prayers recited. The secretary read the minutes of the previous meeting, which were received and adopted on the motion of Hon. A. S. Askerless, responded by Hon. C. H. Bryant. Hon. Speaker: We promised to devote this afternoon to the report on the Liberian situation, and we will ask Lady Davis' and, Hon. J. Van Lowe, whom we sent as part of the delegation to make their report to this convention. They have already made their written report to the executive council on which we acted subsequently. They will make the report as they saw understand and did things under the leadership of our late la- Moth "Guard the Those tiny teeth are a priceless gift — guard them well! WRIGLEY'S is a wond mented Sir Robert Lincoln Poston. I want to say before they speak that we are handling an international situation, and I want you to understand the position of the administration. We have been unable to say many things within the last month, even though a lot of propaganda has been published about our proposition simply because we did not want to complicate matters. You all know the seriousness of the U. N. L. A. in regard to its objective, which is the redemption of Africa. We have tremendous influences to fight against in carrying out our program. Untoward influences have been at work which more than ordinary minds have been unable to understand. International matters and complications have to be brought into this discussion, and I trust everybody here is broad enough in the understanding of international matters to understand her! child's teeth" derfer, help to keep teeth clears out the crevices, t and removes acid con- t people suffer certain things. It is more than on the surface. It is a deep question of diplomacy that calls for the exhibition of statism andmanship. This has been the position of the administration all the time. There are things we wanted to say that we could not say because of policy and the results. But it has reached a point where we have to enlighten you and the public that desire information. Nevertheless the situation remains just the same. It is a delicate political situation. We have Liberia on the one hand with whom we are dealing. It is a little black republic. On the other hand we have the powerful bolles known as England and France, who have held the club and said certain things to those who have not been manly enough to maintain their position. It is either that somebody must take a man's stand for what is right or play the part of a coward before the bully. The association has to protest its position and reputation, and we have to tell the public the whole truth. It may not be morally good for somebody when the truth is told, but nevertheless we are placed in a position where we have to tell the truth. Double-Crossing A terrible amount of double-crossing and intrigue has been going on and somebody is to be the scapegoat, and I don't believe it should be the U. N. I. A. The truth ought, to be told to you and the organization, so that you may know the situation. Those of us who read understand and know what I am saying, but the average man does not understand. There is nothing that can happen to disable the U. N. I. A. but, nevertheless, a great deal of injury has been done. From 1921 we had an understanding with Liberia to colonize the country. In that year, there was a written understanding signed by the very man whose name was published in the papers, that iron Edwin Barley. And that agreement was further supplemented by the visit of our delegates there in February last, and a lot has happened since. I have told you many things that some of you do not take kindly to. The Negro is peculiar and you, have to tell him the same thing many times before he understands it, and, during the time you tell him, somebody else gets the information. We told you that our work was purely a question of money and determination; to get that money we have had to bawl our souls out. What it took us more than a year to get prepared for other people have been able to obtain since our organization got these concessions. Somebody else went there, and because they have money to circulate, they get away with murder and somebody wants to make us the scapegoat. The Firestone Rubber and Tire Company of Ohio went there and got one million acres of land to exploit for rubber and minerals. That is where we will show you the hypocrisy and double-crossing of certain people. I will now ask Hon. Mr. Van Lowe to make his report. Hon. J. M. Van Lowe said. The time has come when we as the remainder of the delegates that had been commissioned to go to Liberia to obtain certain concessions for the U. N. I. A must tell you the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help us God. Many of you who are from the different divisions and those of you who are members of the New York local have heard me say on many occasions that I detest a falsifier—I said, in plain words, that I hate a liar. And I would be when there is no cause. So I will tell you under oath that on February 1 of this year we arrived at Monrovia, Liberia. On arrival there we were met by a great number of members and friends of the U. N. I. A. They did not even allow us to land, but came on board our steamer and escorted us into the port of Monrovia, and when we landed we met thousands and thousands of the most enthusiastic people, members and friends of the U. N. I. A. I cannot recall a reception so cordial or enthusiastic and I cannot recall a welcome so endearing as we had on our arrival. A Reception We were taken to our different residences. Lady Davis resided at the Faulkner Hotel and we stayed at a place directly opposite at Mrs. Dunbar's. Our distinguished friend Rend Van Richards knows Mrs. Dunbar very well. We had many persons of prominence to visit us and on February 1 a reception was tendered us. This reception was held in one of the biggest buildings in Liberia, the Methodist Church in Monrovia. That evening the place was stronged to its utmost capacity with friends of the association and a great number of members and many high officials of Liberia. Among those present were the distinguished and deceased Chief Justice Dossom, of Liberia; ex-President Barclay and ex-President Howard, senators and several men high up in the government. That evening we had complete co-operation. We were 'so greatly applauded, kindly received' and highly appreciated that we felt doubly rewarded for having gone there. And that night the late Chief Justice spoke from the fulness of his heart. He was the Charles Evans Hughes of Liberia. One of the most powerful and influential gentlemen of that republic. He said that Liberia needs new blood to be developed. 'Others have refused to help us and there' is ab- simple, no other agent in the world; there is at this time no hand-new friend in sight but that great intrepid leader of the U. N. I. A. Marcus Garvey." And he spoke in that strain and with such emotion that many an eye was wet with tears of joy, joy because there was a general demeanor and a feeling that wif had come to apply to Liberia the assistance she longed for. Ex-President Barclay voiced the same sentiments and others spoke and said that they had tried to do everything to obstruct the work of the U. N. I. A., but he was glad to say that in spite of the opposition the Hon. Marcus Garvey had acted bravely that we had at last come to do the great thing for Liberia that she-needed so much. After the reception we went to our homes escorted by many friends. I may say that among the ladies who were there and who spoke was Mrs. Howard the wife of the ex-President. Interview With the President She spoke so eloquently that if any one wanted inspiration he got it there. Other ladies of high rank and distinction also spoke. We were to see President King about the fifth or seventh of the month, as he was not quite through with matters relative to his inauguration. It happened, unfortunately, that his A. D. C. had died up the St. Paul's river, and he had to attend the funeral; so his absence from Monrovia prevented us having an immediate interview. He returned on Feb. 10 and on the 11th we had our interview! At that interview was President King, the late Chief Justice Gossen, ex President Barclay, Sir Robert L. Postork Henrietta V. Davis and your humble servant. We disclosed our plans to President King, informing him that the concessions that were made to us previously, we were prepared to carry out, but there had been quite a lot of propaganda to the effect that we were not wanted to see and that we would not be welcome. President King told us that we must not pay any attention to such assertions because, as a matter of law and according to the constitution it was impossible for such a thing as that to occur. Because the Constitution of Liberia, a copy of which he showed us and which we brought back and submitted to the President-General, provides in substance that Liberia shall be the home and refuge for the oppressed Negroes of the world, regardless of nationality. This is encumbered in the Constitution of the Republic of Liberia. Therefore, President King said it was impossible because we would be transgressing against our own Constitution and it would be treacherous to our own race. And there, let me tell you, God being my judge, President King went on to discuss the working general possibilities and the feasibilities of the plan of this organization. He discussed it with a zeal, enthusiasm and an appreciation that could not have been excelled by the Hon. Marcus Garvey himself. Our hearts leapt with joy as we received a reception and welcome that surpassed every dream or imagination. And there President King in all his zeal and apparent anxiety upon his own initiative set out to suggest and brought out plans by which we could successfully carry out our colonization scheme. He suggested that we first send material, artisans to lay out the land and build homes for those people so that when they came they would have somewhere to go and would not be left to the mercies of others. He also suggested that places would be provided for them to develop the land and further that on the arrival of the colonists, instead of going to Montreal as the capital, they should proceed to places that he suggested, such as Vallala, Nine, Cape Palahui, Lake Mount and Grand Rosa. That would present them a great deal of inconvenience and a long journey. He told these places were among the most beautiful lands that Liberia possessed. In addition to that fearing that we might have a failure or mishap, in our plans, he suggested that a committee be appointed to assist in struct and advise a system of preparing those homes and by which on arrival of the colonists someone would be on the spot to meet them and correct direct them to their desired places. As a result of his own suggestion there, the committee was appointed which met that night. To prove the truth of my statement, do you think for a moment that the Vice President of Liberia, who was directly at the side of the President, would find himself on such a committee to prepare homes and provide places for the colonists when they came to establish themselves and develop the life. Do you think he would be there without some express or implied authority so speak to carry out the plans of the President? On that committee there was Vice President Wesley, Chief Justice Dessiex President Barclay and Howell, Mr. Caranda, Mr. Dennis and Mr. Dickson Brown Computer of Liberia. All of these men were there. The plans were drawn up and signed and are in the possession of our president-general. They were drawn in the most solemn manner apparently with blood and tears and when we discontinued, the venerable deceased chief justice said, "Thank God, the dawn of Liberia's glory, wealth and over has 'now come.' We departed that night and thereupon several letters were interchanged between President King and our delegates. All of that was done and one of the last expressions that President King told us was, "I have implicit confidence in this delegation, now I am satisfied that you are determined." He also said, upon my path, that you will find the government of Liberia and the Liberians standing ready to cooperate with you. Therefore on our leaving we received certain tokens of appreciation and we received such replies as to know that there was appreciation for the business relation that existed between us. President King further said, "You will find when you establish ourselves upon the Cavella river, that with proper working gatl alone would deeply repay you for all the vices and inadvertences that you have made. While we were there the news went around like wildfire all through Lahaina, kiten and women came from up the river, and from other places, two threes, demons and more to see us, to bring us greeting and congratulations. And I am here to tell you without prevarication that at least 85 per cent of the people are in sympathy with the organisation and are wishing, encouraging and hoping that the association will be able to carry out its program. Anyone who is trying to interfere with our plans will have a subsequent reckoning to meet with the people. We are not making any threats but we are talking facts. All, through Liberia, wherever we went, one could not find a more hospitable and amiable people than the Liberians. I want to tell you, conscientiously and fearlessly, if our people in America particularly and in the West Indies were just one third as amiable or hospitable it would be a great advantage for this organization, as we would have, a practically perfect rate, for I have traveled throughout the United States and in a great many islands in the West Indies and elsewhere; and I shall speak of that fact. For these reasons I wish to say that these people showed that spirit of welcome, co-operation and enthusiasm for the U. N. I. A. which was no grandstand play, but absolutely genuine. It was the assurance given by President King which caused us to bring back such glowing reports. We have acted in accordance with the assurances that have been given us, and I cannot believe that gentlemen holding so distinguished a position before the eyes of the world can be guilty of any act of unfairness toward this organization and toward our face. I would not believe for a moment that President King is guilty of this propaganda that is so rampant in America and fostered by Ernest Lyons and the Negro press. Hon Speaker: Before we hear the second member of the committee I would ask the secretary to read a few communications, and especially the signed suggestions brought back from Liberia by the delegation signed by members of the committee appended by President King himself to draw up suggestions under which we should operate and support the colonies. The secretary read the documents which were most convincing Hon. Speaker Referring to a commu- nication, I believe that is one of the last letters written by the judge. It was written on July 1, and he died on July 17. We will now ask Lady Davis to in the her report. We have been bound to all endeavours to fulfill the mission of the Church and to promote the Gospel in the world. We have been bound to the main kingdom of the world. We have been bound to Moravia and we have come to that maturation. We have been many times throughout the interiors of Lorea and we have been indicted, as far as we may, to meet them and follow with from the coming of Jesus. I A account to the truth. We put it into the experience of the organized people of the population, and we have the experience from the glimpses of Liberia that this great organization shall be welcomed whenever they come in talking with the situation from the interim, thus passing the plans for the emancipation of our people to light up with joy, and they would have truth, in their power for the enterprise and the effort, and as some and keeping up our people in the spirit. These are the sentiments of the so-called slave people, the also names of the people as well as the sentiments in our part of the civilized people. We had the interview with President King on February 11. We could not have been more contentious, in no doubt, more enthusiastically, received by any one than by the president of the republic. Chief Justice Dusen was there; the Hon A. Farley, ex-president, was also there, one sitting on either side of the president. The delegation sat facing them, and as Mr. Van I love has told you in the report, many suggestions as to the colonists' coming were brought forward by President King himself. He had this committee appointed, the advisory committee whose names you have heard and whose suggestions you have heard relied. He it was, who named them, and so we were so elated after our interview with the president that the late lamented Robert L. Poston went at once to the cable office and cabled the Hon. Marcus Garvey the one word, "Success." And the three of us went home feeling so happy that we had accomplished, that for which we were sent and, as Roilert Lingolin Poston said, "We have even gotten more than we asked for Lady Davin." I said, "Yes. One good people of the republic of Liberia are generous." President King assured us, that we would have been so the Gravelie President King, assured us, that we could have a colony at the Cavalia.

Speaker: You requested the administration yesterday to bring before you suggestions and plans whereby we could carry out our programmethat has been somewhat interrupted by the unpleasant news from Liberia. Before doing so I desire to draw your attention to an editorial in the New York Evening Bulletin (a white paper), which has been distributed to the convention. As I said yesterday, there are many things that people are unable to understand. Many things that people who go about their daily work can never understood. In our report on the Liferan situation we endeavored to bring out possible agencies that were at work to prevent us all, that was promised to us and all that we wanted. We said the these were things which we should imagine for ourselves. Fortunately, we have somebody to say part of these things in that editorial. The average number of the U.N.A. and the Negro who do not think will say we cannot, go to Liberia. They try to criticize and condemn us. But they have not one but of information as to what is going on. Reasonable men will know that an organization like this representing an ideal like ones, that of empathizing the race and making it industrious and economically independent and politically free must calculate for knocking up against tremendous world powers and influences that cannot well be disposed of by merely opening your mouth. You have to dispose of them by money and organization and the forces available to combat such things in our groups we look money and order. We will not only have a little corner here in there, but we will ultimately lose our lives if some of us do not get smart to the point of being able to come up with the tremendous forces that are at work to compromise, exploit and displace the world's peoples. Vacation in the Woods Similarly, in 1924 the newspaper that President Harding went on a vacation in the woods, sometime before he died, with Moses Firestone, Food and Edition. That was just news for the average man. That happened about two and a half years ago. For the man who knows what is going on in the world that bit of news and a tremendous enthusiasm. They were talking about things they did not want the world to know about him a year after President Harding returned he appointed Solomon Porter Hood of New Jersey to Council to Laborte. The intelligent man who knew world movements, tricks and diplomacy, say that Hood was pleased by the other after certain attentions were made at it to possession of certain mines owned by Negroes in a Negro country. Hood was sent to the foundations of what was to happen in 1924. Asking one thought anything of President Gandhi's holiday at Vermont recently, but it happened that the Smt Faretton, Foul and Edison were there at, about the same time, it was leached, that one million years of the most valuable land in Africa was given to Firestorm and that about this period Duj Bels was sent to Liberia to augment the influence of Hood and to offer any progranda that the U. N. J. A may have curved on three. They thought that Jubes was the only spokesman of the tree and you do not want me to say much more, as you can read it in the paper for yourselves. I read the editorial in the Bulletin and saw the confirmation of what I thought made by a white man who sees the danger and who has been fighting a corrupt group of white men. Attention of Subscribers! Frequently we receive notices from Post Office to the effect that subscribers' copies are not delivered for reasons: "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 service of the office during the month of July; in September we shall carry the names of those affected during the month of August, etc. Subscribers who experience difficulty accessing the service may request regularly are asked to seal the notice. The reason for non-delivery may become apparent and corrective measures be put into effect to our mutual satisfaction. E. R MATHEWS, Business Mar in the world. So you realize that the fight is not merely a fight for the country, but for the race, and you need organization and money. Now, because those Little Negroes, Du Bols and Hood, were probably bought for a few thousand, the whole Negro race has been set back. So I trust you will understand the fight that is on that you will be able to measure up to it. Some of us, nevertheless, are conscious of our responsibilities; and as we have already stated when certain people realize that they have a serious proposition to handle and deal with and as they cannot handle it openly, they try to laugh it out of court. When a lawyer has a bad case, he often tries to get the judge and jury to laugh-it out of court. They have been trying to laugh the U. N. L. A. out of court by trying to make us look ridiculous, by saying that Marcus Garvey and the member, of the U. N. L. A., are a crazy bunch of people because they realize that you have constituted yourself a serious problem. That white man is honest to say that in his newspaper When you put these things together you realize how important the association is because you will realize that you are causing the busiest men in the world to think and circumvent and handle us. Realize Your Responsibility My advice is, that before you leave Liberty Hall you should realize your responsibility as delegates and deputies, and if any of you slack up your efforts or become faithhearted you will have committed a crime not only against yourselves and the organization, but against unborn generations. The right should become more important the moment you have these things placed in your way. Let us therefore realize the issue and take it home for the good of the organization and yourselves and those whom we represent. The editorial is as follows. Editorial, White Newspaper, Published in New York New York, Evening Bulletin, August 29, 1923 "GARVEY, AFRICA AND RUBBER In politics when the other fellow tries to implement truth the game is to determine the statement and, if possible, calculate it.

Lost and widowed deadened glands and painful skin half-fell out, but the half also felt relieved not to be drained any longer since the discovery of a well-known chemist. Now it is possible for those who feel "prematured" old to become "rejuvenated" and regain the "vital force of youth" often in a day's time with Mando Forrest, a former Army officer who has taken the treatment. This famous discovery is bringing "renewed youth" and "strength" to thousands where everything else had failed. "I want to say that my 'last vigor' was restored and 'glands renewed in my heart' was restored and 'glands renewed in 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 'rejuvenation' has been successful. My Gods' 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 rap, lily 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 have a Mando formula, you are in 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 the results are not satisfactory and you are not satisfied, we are in every way, it costs you nothing. "Send no money—just your name and address to F. L.

GARVEY INDORSES OR SYMPATHIZES WITH: THE, KLAN IS INSOLENTLY FALSE HE brazen assumption of the New York Age, in its Yssue o I August 16, that “instead of denouncing the Ku: Klux Klar and other persecutors of the black race, Garvey caters te ‘the Kian,” is taken up by the New York representative of the Pitts. burgh Courier and amplified in the statement that “Mr. Marcus Garvey is reported to have endorsed the Ku Klux Klan in his fourth international convention, in’ Liberty Hall, New York. This is neither a shock nor'a surprise. It has been Riwh for sometime that he will not fight the organization outright.”,, The*assumptions of the Age and the affirmations of the Pittsburgh Courier are equally far-fetched and insglent. ; _ _Instead of catering"to or sympathizing with the Klan, as the Age -alleges, it is impossible for Mr. Garvey ‘to have done or to do so. He has treated: the subject with réserve because large. numbers of the members of the Universal Improvement Association live in set- tions“of the country where Klan sentiment rules and where the membership are not strong:enough to come out in the open and make war on'the Klan, and where, also, white. persons who do not favor the Klan are timid-and slow about antagonizing it, openly. But, being proscribed by the Klan on account of his race and na- tivity, it would be impossible for Mr. Garvey to cater to or sym: pathize with the sinister purposes of the Klan. A inan in Mr Garvey’s position must be careful how he advises his vast following to act in a given situation, the wiser course being to leave the mem- bership free to deal with the vexed question in the places where “they are and as emergency may suggest. To advise the peaple to act in Mississippi. in 4 given emergency, as they should act in New York, would not only be foolish but very dangerous. Our Northern and Western editors do not always keep.this aspect of the question | in their mind’s eye. He is a dangerous leader who will advise others to do anything in any situation that he.would not himself do. Mr Garvey not only filled ‘his engagements in the South at places where he was warned not to do so, but he hada talk with Wizard Simmons in Atlanta, in order to get his tiewpoint, and to show that he had no physical fear of the wizard or the Klan. That is the size of Marcus Garvey's courage. The report that the Pittsburgh Courier gives currency ta, that the Fourth International Conyention “endorsed the Klan.” is a liq out of whole cloth, and one which the author of it could have verified by the seeking. if he were minded to deal with the fact and not the fiction of itv and if he were open-minded and fair instead of closed- minded and projudiced against Mr. Garvey and the Universal Negro Improvement Association, The convention tack the position that the Klan question had became a question between white men which thex should settle, but that if the membership of the association in any of its parts was molested they should make the proper defense of their lives and property They were not expected to run into trouble with the Klan or to run out of any trouble the klan might force upon them without a proper défense and: protest. That comes a long way from endorsing the Klan. All of the politicians strSve in their convention to keep the Klan issue ut of their platforms and then out of the declarations of their candidates, showing that they were all aéraid to tackle itbut the question could not be kept out of polities, and gat into the platforms and the declarations of the candidates, and will be settled at the polls and as it has been settled in Texas and Oklahoma, against the Klan sentiment and candidates, we believe. If white America does not throttlé the‘Klan once and for all.the Klan will throttle white America. It is the white man's job. “SELF-HELP | NECESSARY: TO GROUP AND we RACE HELP 5 9 HE man or group or race of men who cannot help themselves I are in no position to help-others.

We-prodyce a very great deal of wealth but we da not get our proper share of it because we do not control and sell the manufactured products: Most of us are wage-earners, in the em- ployment of others, and wage-earners usually spend almost as much for living purposes as they produce in. raw materials. The profits are in the manufacture and sale of the finished products. We manu- facture and sell very little, consequently we do not-receive much of the profits from what we produce. We have got tg change all of this. How? As others do it, by buying and selling among ou- selves and creating, markets for our surplus products where no markets are at hand.) : It is a big job, getting hold of the proper agencies that will give us our share ‘of the wealth of the world, which is separate from the labor and the capital which make for production and consumption, being the reserved increment’ of labor and, capital; it is a big job. we repeat. -but we are a big people, young yet. especially the’people who. make up the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and we must prove equal to the big job. It is the high business of our membership to lead in this business. ~\ SECTARIAN AND DOGMATIC. DISCUSSION * “NOT INVITED GREAT many readers of The Negro World have not believes A our statement that discussion of sectarian and dogmatic theological questions is not invited and will pot be pub ished when such are received. Because they have not done so many have been disappointed, and some Have expressed it, in not having their articles published in The Negro. World. We believe that sec- tarian and dogmatic discussion usually begins and always ends no: where, and alien encase bad blood: Christian’ sectarians differ widely in their -aagmatic or tenetical conceptions and beliefs, and toleratigh of the widest differences is safer than ill-tempered diz cussion of them. 7 We have'also declared that we ‘do not invite contributions of verse, but we chntinue to receive large. batches:of it from-far and wide which we cannot use hecause the writers do not conform to the accepted rules af versification. We have to kndwmhow to do any- thing whatsoever we undertake or it will be faulty. Prose, as well as verse must conform to established riles, and the subject should always be in harmony with the treatment, or the contribution will not he used. = j, Many insist tipon using lead pencil in writing and upon writing on both sides of the sheet, and typewriting with the close instead of the open spacing; and all such copy has a hard time getting into The Negro World. ECONOMIC DISTRESS EN THE’ WEST INDIES AGGRAVATED. ee | WT is a matter of a fellov--feeling that the Negroes of the Unitec I States should sympathize with their brethren of the British West Indies in the economic distress which has come upor them, by the restriction aipon their going to the United States or te other countries to secure the work they need to provide for them: selves and their families, not only by the workings of the Americar imimigyation laws, but by recent enactments of the government of the British colonies, and by ‘the workings of ‘the tariff regulations which impose a duty upon imports of foodstuffs and wearing apparel while allowing free,entry to machinery of the employers of labor. with other advantages for the rich which the poor have to pay for in the higher cost of. the necessary food and clothing they must have. . Our esteemed contemporary, the Basscterre (St. Kitts) Union Messenger. makes a strong plea along the lines we have here indi- cated for a miore generous policy towards the poor laborer and thé taxpayers of the Presidency, with a protest against the proposed Trade License act, taxing.merchants, who would, of course, make théir customers pay the extra tax by increasing the already high prices of their foodstuffs and wearing apparel, and with a plea that the government do something to provide, labor for those whé are rot allowed to go away to get what they cannot get at-home. Pressure is being brought upon the Rritish Government by ‘the Commonwealths to modify its economic’ policy. which favors. the manufacturers of the home market at the expense of the producers of. raw material in the dependencies: and there has been much "Suc. cess, in the development of the manufacture of raw magerials in the Commoriwealths, which are self-governing, but there has been no relief for the colonies and dependencies, which+must sell their raw materials at the lowest prices to the British manufacturers and pay the highest prices for the manufactured articles out of their raw materials when they are returned to them for consumption. Alien ownership and a horde of alten office holders who cannot make a decént living in the home country. together with small voice in making or enforcing the laws, makes the lot of the people of the British West Indies a very serious one now with little promise cf betterment in the immediate future But they must ceaselessly fight for a betterment of conditions They cannot afford to remain silent or inactive. They must continue to fight.” Editor of Negro World and Negro’ Business ‘League ~ ROSCOE SIMMONS in the Chicago Defender At Atianta he wan (atting At the South nea eres ace te le, Ehine fooled ‘giedsat that ime Everybaes ria hapay ana the.

Dean Miller handle: with much cleverness the whife man’s :conception and belief ir the color and the ideals of the Creator, which the black man is expected to ‘gulp down ‘without making wry faces, as-he is ex- pected to accept the white man’s domination and exploitation of the blick man’s lands and, labor. 2 Iam, without protest, not. go- ing into-a lengthy ‘discussion of the question here, because -I_do not believe that such discussion leads to any’ satisfactory results: Thave this to say, however ; black people have as much right and Justification to paint God and construe the Semitic Scriptures to fit in with their color and ideals as the white'man has; and, more. as the white man, is not men- tioned in the Holy Bible, nor as heir of its promises as a Nordic or any of the other classifications he has put himse:f under from Scandinavian Nordics, or Nors- men, to Northwestern Slavics. The white races rile themselves out of the Jephetic “enlargement” when they classify themselves as everything but Japhetic:. From the Biblical viewpoint, the whites in their, classification are, m0 people at all. They are something else, if that were possible. What? “Tell it not.in a wrath; publish it not in thé streets of A-Skelet- on.” . Dean Miller opens his article with the’ statement that “Marcus Garvey would paint God in his own image. Even the black man turns from the suggestion with a feeling of revulsion and dis- gust.” Why? “Because,” says the learned dean.-“we have been so long accustomed to regarding God as white that we have iden- tified=his visage with his essence. Any change. in the accustomed color implies alteratign in char- acter.” And here is the grist of the whole matter. What saith the Word?” This: a “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our like-| ness. So God created man in his| own image, in the image of God created he him: male and female created he them."—~(Gen. i., 26-| 27.)

In the September issue of Opportunity there is published an Open Letter from Rene Maran, author of "Batouala," which was awarded one of the most esteemed literary prizes in France, the Prix Concours for 1921—to Prof. Alain Leroy Locks of Howard University. This letter is a result of the article, "The Black Watch on the Rhine," by Prof. Locks, which appeared in Opportunity for January, 1924. In this article Prof. Locks referred to French policy thus: "Prejudice must go at a sweep and not bit by bit; it is futile to try to eliminate one kind of prejudice and meanwhile keep and even cherish another. The instinctive social logicality of the French-mind has made a clean sweep of the whole field and in spite of its handicaps of militarism and colonial imperialism, France has here worked out a practical technique of human relationships which may very possibly earn for her world-mastery as over against her apparently more experienced and better equipped competitors." M. Maran's letter concerning French Colonial policy was published in Les Continents for June 15, 1924. It is republished in Opportunity, with Prof. Locke's reply. Other articles in this issue are "The Negro and the Jew," a comparison of their individual problem, by Bertha Wallerstein, "Lights and Shadows in Cincinnati," concerning the housing problem, by Bleeker Murquette, "Negro Migration," its effect on family and community life in the North, by George E. Haynes, "On Knowing the Negro," by Ann Biddle Stirling, "Replica," by Eunice Roberta Hunton, and poetry by Countee P. Cullen. In the editorial section there are dis- IF U DON'T C CONSULT DR.

The rules for Opportunity's $550 literary prize contest are announced. Opportunity is issued monthly by the National Urban League at 127 East 29rd street, New York City. Booknotes from the Sixtoon new books are announced for publication by The Century Co. on September 12, including "Blind Raftery." by Donn Byrne, a book of the size, and in the manner of his "Messer, Marco Polo;" "The Passionate Adventure." by Frank Stayton, the story of an English society exquisite who found compensation in the slums; "Men, Maids and Mustard Pot," by Gilbert Frankau, a book of short stories with lots of horse in them; "Charles Proteus Steinmetz." by J. W. Hammond, a biography, the material of which was supplied by him and his family; "Around the World in New York." by Konrad Bercovich, travel adventures in the many foreign settlements of Manhattan. William Montgomery McGovern, whose "To Lhasa in Disguise" will be published September 12 by The Century Company, did three things never before accomplished by a white man; he crossed the Himalayan passes from India into Tibet in winter, a feat therefore considered impossible; he lived six weeks in the Forbidden City, Lhasa—and that during the crisis of intolerance induced by the Tibetans' holiest religious festival of the year, when the civil government of Lhasa resigns its power to two monks; and he took the first motion picture films which show the life of this Holy City of the Lamas. He is an uncommon combination of adventurer and scholar. Born in America, in Georgia, he spent most of his young life in the Far East. He is an Oxford man (Ph.D.) and was considered one of the university's most brilliant speakers; he is a member of the Royal Geographical and Royal Asiatic Societies, and was appointed Furlong lecturer of the Royal Asiatic Society. Most interesting of all, he is an honorary Buddhist priest, a distinction granted him in recognition of a treatise on Mahayana Buddhism. He has said that this sacred office proved of use to him in gaining the respect and confidence of certain of the higher officials in Lhasa, after he had revealed himself to them as an Englishman, while it may have saved his life by preventing his betrayal by one unruly and disloyal native servant. There can be no question that his knowledge of Buddhist customs and beliefs immensely contributed to his safety in that terrible land which he penetrated, where, he says, it is a sacrilege to walk around a temple or sacred well in one direction, while to walk the other way is a distinct merit. "Expectancy," a novel of India by John Eyton, published August 28 by The Century Company, follows a previous book by the author on India "The Dancing Fakir." That was a book of short stories which drew some extraordinary praise from the critics. The author is a representative of one of those old British families which make all kings and most bearers of titles look distressingly modern and ordinary. He is only thirty-four, and it was the fateful year of 1914 when he passed (four) into the Indian Civil Service, after taking a brilliant first in the classical school of Queen's College, Oxford. So he went into the Bengal Cavalry, instead of the Civil Service, entering that famous body of men celebrated by Kipling and a hundred others only after the war was over. Love of India is one of the strongest of his affections, and this is said to be reflected in his novel, which tells the life-story of an Anglo-Indian boy. YOU CAN'T GO! BUT I CAN, DAD B. G.

Negro Writers Encouraged to Show What They Can Do in Producing Literature Judges Prominent Men of Letters Encouragement is offered Negro writers in the contest opened by the Opportunity Magazine. Journal of Negro Life, for short stories, poetry, plays, essays and personal experience sketches about Negro life by Negro authors. The awards, as announced by this publication, aggregate $500. The next ten best stories, poems, plays and, essays will be given free criticism by competent authorities in each field of letters. The winning contributions will be published in Opportunity and probably in book form. Some of the conditions of the contest are given in the September issue of Opportunity. Persons prominent in American letters have expressed a ready willingness to foster in this manner creative expression among Negroes. The purpose of this contest, as contained in the announcement, is to stimulate and encourage creative literary effort among Negroes and to locate and orient Negro writers of ability and bring them into contact with the general world of letters; to stimulate and encourage interest in the serious development of a body of literature about Negro life; to encourage the reading of literature both by Negro authors and about Negro life; and to foster a market for Negro writers and literature by and about Negroes. Opportunity is published by the National Urban League, at 127 East 23rd Street, New York City, and edited by Charles S. Johnson. A PLEA FOR OUR HOMELAND By MABEL M. DOUGLAS (Stony Mill, Jamaica, B. W. I.) List to the tale of a people. Creeping from Slavey's chain! Loudly we tell of our troubles. Which always rack our brains. Oh, pass not by, fairer brothers. But lend thou a helping hand; For history tells how we helped thee, When danger compassed your land. Sons of Shem and Japheth, hear us: See they kin of darker hue. Struggling to regain their homeland, And for help we call to you. We have passed through years of slavery. Served thee true, till Freedom's morn; Now we are free; our eyes turn home- ward. To the land from which we were torn. If you turn to history's pages. For a record of our deeds; We believe you'd hast to help us. And supply our utmost needs. Did not Attucks, man of color. Shed his blood to keep you free? When your enemies yelled defiance. And began to run! Did he? This, our race, has done you justice, And if sent by God divine; For it yet can show a hero— Black Samson of Brandywine. Then by tens and scores, yea, thou- sands; They came trooping in your wars; Sharing all your earthly conflicts. At the price of wounds and scars. And when the bloody war was over... And you sat and sang at ease: Did not Negro poets help you, To compose your hymns of peace? Yes; in art, in craft, in music." And in everything humane: They gave freely of their wisdom— Shall their help be all in vain? Thus we've climbed from Slavery's bondage. Through the years of peace and strife; Selves forgetting, every ready. To protect your goods and life! Just before us lies a danger. Lusty grow our sons and yours; Shall the two survive in safety. And dwell on the self-same shores? We would like to chun these dangers. If an outlist we can find; So we turn our footsteps homeward. Leaving you in peace behind. But in parting we need helping From your hands as our roward; So we ask you to assist us.

I should like to have all the daylight hours in the country and the nights in town. It is only natural that man should huddle once darkness has fallen. After the sun goes, one finds himself caught up in a sort of little theatre movement. It is then a jyty stage upon which he moves. The walls come close. The sky is scarcely a foot above his head, and from it fall lamps so that he must dodge as best he can in the darkness. But night does more than hem you in. I find it disturbing to see only such things as lie within den feet and at the same time hear noises from far down the ridge and across the valley. I never did like noises that popped out of ambush. I think the crickets ought to stand up, like men and be counted, and not slink in closer and closer, crawling on their bellies and making menacing noises. A dog which barks at noon may be an annoyance, but when he happens to be a mile off he is no threat. But let the that dog bark from the same distance after nightfall and he brings unescapable suggestions that everything is going wrong, that it always has and it always will. When the wind stirs of a summer night in the city everybody speaks well of it and calls it a breeze. It seems of good intent. But out on the ridge this same breeze snarls and torments trees until they howl with anguish. And after a time it turns its spite against the house. I don't mind very much when the farmhouse pitches in the wind, but I can't stand the nights when it rolls. Even on calm nights the apple tree pelts the roof. Its meagre green fruit might be so many watermelons as apple after apple explodes upon the shingles and hops off, never missing a single chance to bounce on the way down. Hopeless, the cat; is supposed to live up the road in Murdock Pemberton's house, but at night he is little brother to all the world. I don't know why he thinks it's funny to crawl in the window and leap upon my stomach as I sleep. He never made me laugh yet. Closing the door at the bottom of the stairs is of no use. Hopeless solves that problem by climbing the apple tree and lengthening his Jeap a little.

I have taken a fearful aversion to that cat, but no matter how tactless I am in talking to him he can't seem to grasp the fact of my hostility. Just-a bit beyond Linder Lane lies Hale Lake, where the frogs live. I used to think it was the moon which set them to blickering, but now I know they are indifferent to weather. They croak on white nights and black. Nor is there ever a portpronement on account of wet grounds. Some day next winter I plan to go to the lake and after cutting a hole in the ice shout down at them. "Is it cold enough for you?" But I want some more immediate revenge. The adjustments of nature I find most inadequate. If this were an orderly universe the frogs would eat the crickets. The engaged couple who ride about all night in the reconstructed Ford car would run over and kill the barking dog. As a matter of fact, I don't actually know that they are engaged, but it seems to me that it is up to the young man to do something to The image provided is too blurry and low-resolution to accurately recognize any text.

MILDRED SMALLWOOD With Sissle and Blake's "The Chocolate Dandies," new musical comedy, at Colonial Theatre, opening September 1. "The Chocolate Dandies" Meets Expectation . There are a good many reasons why the new Sissie and Blake "The Chocolate Dandies" musical at the Colonial Theatre ranks among the big musical comedy successes. Shows like this, in the first place, are the nearest thing to the old-time colorful entertainment. The typical Southern comedy and Dixie song and dance, once largely confined to minstrel shows, are the mainstay of productions like "The Chocolate Dandies." The popular liking for this sort of diversion seems to be as keen as ever. The Southern Negro introduced jazz song and dance and has played a prominent part in the development of this typical American style of music. Naturally, jazz is a striking feature of "The Chocolate Dindos" presentation, with Ethel Blake, who composed it music directing the big symphony orchestra, and Noble Saske, the other star jazzing through the songs and dances with a gusto no black race star can match. The ragtime scene makes way for the principal conductor, Johnny Hodkins and Low Parton two cousins who have few rivals. It also makes a feature of the most exciting jazz shaped since the charaters rattled chorus under the sunlight of New York. Then, again, where oh' where did Susie and Blake come together of how he wished bouncing, musicians who form an ensemble when he pops, singing and dancing has not been captured by any other musical production in New York to date. It certainly is a joy to the eye and a delight to the ear. Julian Mitchell, who has just scored another success with the "Zaegfeld Fellows" of 1924-25 has outshow himself in the new Susie and Blake surprise "The Chocolate Dancer." make an honest runabout of the automobile. Suppose there came a night upon which the apple tree ceased to preter, and Hopeless slept at home, and there was no wind, and frogs and crickets became dumb—would I then be satisfied? 'The answer is. 'No.' On that night I would turn and togs and stew in the coopy silence until I broke it with an agonized cry to barkers, chirpers, croakers, 'Go ahead and get started.' RULER OF ETHIOPIAN EMPIRE OF ABYSSINIA AND CHARACTERISTICS OF HIS PEOPLE These Abyssians Disdain to Be Classed as Negroes but Are of Hamitic Origin with a Slight Blend of the Semite-They Are a Christian People After a Fashion-Slavery Abolished LOOK OUT FOR ANNOUNCEMENT OF SAILING OF FIRST SHIP OF THE BLACK CROSS NAVIGATION AND AND TRADING COMPANY IN NEGRO WORLD OF NEXT WEEK Great Britain has welcomed to her shores his Imperial Highness Teferi Makonnen, Regent of the Empire and hair to the throne of Ethiopia, whose absence from Abyssinia opens a new era in the history of his own country and may even mark the beginning of a new chapter in the history of the world. For this visit virtually destroys that self-sought, isolation which has been the central point for centuries in the policy of the last unconquered African empire and, less than thirty years ago, was successfully defended against the modern arms of a European Power. This portentous break with the traditions of his race is characteristic of our royal guest, whose visit to Aden in 1922 was the only other occasion upon which a ruler of Ethiopia has ever passed its frontiers, says the Dally Telegraph. Bufge he called at Aden he had never seen an aerospace; but within ten minutes of his arrival on the parade ground he was enjoying his first flight through the air. He has just acquired in this country a carefully chosen library of between 400 and 500 books; the only printing machine in Abyssinia is installed in his private palace, together with the solitary book-binding plant, and he possesses a model dairy which could give points and a beating to many of its European prototypes. This is the Prince-cultured, hardworking, progressive—who has now come to Europe to get into personal touch with its governments, and has brought with him his principal governors in order that, together, they may estimate the value of Western civilization and the practicability or otherwise of its application to Abyssinia. His visit may have a profound influence upon his own people, but it is also of great potential importance to ourselves. For the landlocked empire of Ethiopia has a frontier of 3,000 miles, which, for two-thirds of its length, marches with British territory; and the success of our irrigation works in the Soudan is built upon the Abyssinian waters of Lake Tsana and the Blue Nile. An Ancient Race It is perhaps not altogether surprising that the most extraordinary misconceptions are prevalent concerning Abysinia, because until its only railway was opened a few years ago, it was one of the most inaccessible countries in the world. Yet it is neither wise nor truthful to refer to an Abysinian as a Neuro, he could retort that he was a Christian when the ancestors of the English worshiped Odin—that his forbears were civilized when ours loved to paint their bodies with woad and cloth themselves in undressed little. Actually the race is Hamite. with, a strong infusion of Semitic blood, which came with an incursion from Arabia about 1,000 B. C. Few people in Europe and fewer still in England know more about these people and their fascinating country than C. F. Rey, F. R. G. S., who enjoys the personal friendship of the Regent and last year published a book on "Unconquered Abyssinia as It Is Today." the only book upon this subject to be published in England during the last twenty years. In conversation with a press representative Mr. Rey gave an interesting account of the origin of the Abyssinians, their history, government, religion and customs, and their much-debated attitude toward serfdom and slavery. They claim; he said, that the empire was founded 3,000 years ago as a result of the union of the Queen of Sheba and Solomon. Whether the Queen was then Queen of Abyssinia, as they assert; whether she was queen of a district which embraces both sides of the Red Sea; or whether she was queen merely of Saba, in Southern Arabia, are points about which discussion still rages. But one fact is indisputable; their independence through all those centuries has remained unimpaired. Islam nearly conquered them in the first half of the sixteenth century, but eventually they drove the invaders back; the Italian repulse at Odowa in 1896 is part of contemporary history. Up till the present, the Abyssinians have refused to allow an serpansi to fly over their country. · WEDDING BELLS Mr. Edward D. Gray, President of the Davton Ohio Division of the U. N. I.

Standard Products Company 438 Lonox Avenue New York CLOSEING MASS MEETING AT CARNAGE HALL (Continued from page 7) We'll shout the freedom of a race be- nighted. Long live Liberia, happy land, the home of glorious liberty By God'a command. At hall, Liberia, in union strong suc- cess is sure. We cannot fail, with God above our rights to prove. We will the world assail. With heart and hand our country's cause defending. We'll meet the foe with valor unpretending. Long live Liberia, happy land, The home of glorious liberty by God's command. That was the spirit of the Chief Justice. And that which has gone before us is his spirit. His heart is with us this afternoon, I am sure. His spirit will guard and guide the purpose of the U. N. I. A. He passed away upon the natal day of our great and noble leader, Marcus Garvey; On August 17, God called J. J. Dosen from this world to the world above, but Marcus Garvey is here, vivified by the spirit of J. J. Dosen, and we look him to carry on the fight for the redemption of the Negro. May the spirit of J. J. Dosen envelop and permeate the very soul of Marcus Garvey, that he too, a giant among the Negroes of the world, the leader of four hundred million Negroes, that are he joins that innumerable caravan, he shall redeem Africa and establish the vision of J. J. Dosen for the United States of Africa, the greatest republic on the face of the globe. All honor, all praise, all glory, to the life of J. J. Dosen. Rev. J. Van Richards said: A. Applirne and a great man has fallen in Liberia. There are but three persons in this great assembly that ever met and became acquainted with the Hon. J. J. Dossen. They are Hon. G. O. Marc, Lady David and J. V. Lowe. Therefore you cannot enter so deeply into sympathy on this occasion, because you are not acquainted with the personality of this man. But I want to repeat that a great man and a prince has fallen in Liberia. The Hon. J. J. Dossen was born in County Maryland about 1866, and he was educated in Liberia. He was a man of deep learning and an able scholar. He held many local positions in the county of Maryland, and by reason of his intellectual ability and love of face and country the government reached out for this noble son, and he was for a number of years a member of the national legislature. He was vice-president for eight years during the administration of President Barsey, was associate judge of the Supreme Court for ten years, and would have been president of Liberia but for political tricks. For 13 years he was Chief Justice A dignified man he was. A noble spirit, his height was about 7 feet beautiful in stature, a beautiful gait and lofty look, yet not too proud. He hilled the position of Chief Justice with honor and with credit to himself and the Republic of Liberia. In his dekth Liberia has lost one of its noblest sons; one of its greatest jurists, a lover of his race; a man of large vision and a man of great and noble spirit. He was not a man with narrow mind and small hearted, but he not only loved his country, but the black race and the U. N. I. A. Before I came to know Hon. Marcus Garvey, Chief Justice Dossen had often spoken to me of him, and on the morning I was leaving Morroville for America he said to me to be sure to see Mr. Garvey because he is a great man. In a letter I recently received he said Garvey is a great man. That is one great man speaking of another. The U. N. J. A. has lost in Liberia a sincere friend, a strong defender and a mighty champion. If he had been in Monrovia, what happened to the delegation would not have taken place. You heard the letters read which breathed the spirit of love for the U. N. J. A. They showed how great was BUNIONS advent to treat bunions. - shinies the oldy armlocky - burning condition.

APPA OUCH MY BUMBLE! birth date his heart and how great was his zeal for the development of Liberia through this great movement. He was by nature a man, and as a man why was this man so learned, man so useful to his country and to his family and friends, so zealous for the defense of his race, smitten down by the hand of death? But his life work was ended, his mission accomplished, and the Lord who gave was pleased to take him. I recall the morning of March 26 when I left his home and shook his hands as he said bon voyage, it did not seem to me that I would never see him in life again. I have to give the Hon. Marcus Garvey praise for having given me the information, and I have written to his wife as to the news of his death and to the fact that Liberty Hall had been put in mourning and that there would be a memorial service held in his honor. I am sure that his wife will be glad of that. We were surprised when a cable sent to Cape Balmas was not answered and was returned undelivered, and that when a cable was sent to Monrovia the reply came that the Chief Justice was dead. He did not live to see Marcus Garvey. I had the pleasure of seeing him. He did not attend the Convention, but I had the opportunity to do so. I can assure you, however, that God, who stands back of the association, will send some one to take the piece of Dossen as sure as He liveth. REPORT OF DELEGATION SENT TO LIBERIA (Continued from page 3) At Sino and at Grand Bassa, and when I said to him, "Mr. President, I was ab impressed with Cape Mount as our ship went into port," he said, "You can have land there also." And, there- fore, we have four concessions set aside for the U. N. I. A. He said, "After the coming of the colonists we will arrange to give them all the land that they will desire." What more can be asked of anyone? What more can be expected of anyone? No wonder the soul of Robert L. Poston was eated. No wonder that he shook hands with the delegation all around and rejoiced that we had gotten what we had been rent for. I can understand diplomacy. I am something of a diplomat myself. But aming high officials who should maintain the honor of their country I cannot understand duplicity. I say this advisedly. I say it to show you the cordial treatment of this delegation. I tell you this because in contradistinction of the treatment we got and the concessions we obtained, there comes out in the "World" of yesterday afternoon an article saying that this great organization is not welcome in the republic of Liberia, that passports will not be vised for members of the association who are going to Liberia. The motto of Liberia is engraven" or my heart. It met my eyes the moment I stepped in Liberia. That motto is "Love of Liberty brought us here." The forefathers of Liberia knew well that the Négro of the Western world would cross the mighty Atlantic undaunted and undismapped because the love of liberty would bring him to the republic of Liberia. And so the love of liberty burns in every man's breast. It will bear all things and suffer all things and as Patrick Henry said: "Give me liberty or give me death." And then for the door of liberty to be closed in the face of Negroes, such a thing cannot stand. (Cries of No.) Such a thing shall not stand. (Appease). I for one will knock at the door of liberty until I die, seeking for admission. It shall be opened. It must be opened. It is God's will that it must be opened and with our Intrepid leader, Hon. Marcus Garvey at our head, we will break down all barriers, all doors and everything that shall be placed in the way of a race that loves liberty, so that our people might be free. We love liberty because we have suffered slavery. We love liberty because we have worked as peons, and as slaves we are still so working in some parts of the world. But six years ago, Marcus Garvey sounded the clarion cry, to the members of the U. N. I. A, that they should break off the shackles that bind them; that they should rise up as new Negroes and go forth to conquer and to victory. Vice-President Wesley, of Liberia who attended the meeting of the committee, is an aborigine of Africa, born of Aboriginal parents, but civilized and educated. There are several men in the high official life in Liberia with such antecedents. He is a magnificent man, who is deeply interested in the project of the colonialization of the republic. He was present and made suggestions along with the Hon. A. Barclay, the neigur of the bar of Liberia, an aged man, but a man of such learning, a man of such wonderful culture, a man of such keen ideas that I felt in having the Hon.-Ex-President at the head of the committee that we had a man who would forever ate the gate of Liberia, and that should any attempt Were you born under a lucky star?

A. he would stop it with his very body. Chief Justice Dossen was an intellectual giant as well as a man of exemplary character and unimpeachable integrity. A man towering above ordinary men with a massive brain. I had the privilege of attending a session of the Supreme Court where he presided and heard him deliver his opinion and pronounce sentence of death upon a man named Marshal, who had committed a crime. I have visited the Supreme Court of the United States of America in the city of Washington, and listened to the learned judges on the bench there. Never in my life have I seen a man more dignified; never more learned in the law and never in my life have I heard a judge-deliver sentence in such a manner. I said to my comrades, "A magnificent man" is Chief Justice Dossen. them what I have seen and heard and witnessed at first hand. I have seen the steamer, I have been aboard it, so I can tell the people that I saw the ship. Don't fear. You have a strong leader in the person of Hen. Marous Gavry, Just recently the late Chief Justice Dossen; my father-in-law, wrote me a letter in which he said Mr. Gavry was a great man and a great planner for the redemption of Africa. Africa is to be redeemed by the African and not by the white man, and as sure as God sits on His eternal throne it shall be. Our forefathers did not plan Liberia for others, but for every black man. Now I want to tell you the doors are not locked against you, nor are they barred. They are only shut and a small sephyr will blow them open and you will be able to enter Liberia as sure as God wills. the world we are. The damned and beaten bench of Anglo-Americans and fellow rope and may that Africa. Our people cause of France France and France tamla we died. The cause of America American war, and our own cause. I know that the 600,000 determined to redeem though they can use fash- bone President cause of Negro fire not done. We are sorry that asterel Chief Just He was a real man man who will live a cliche. Chief Justice alive today. I belie I did not know then that this great man was the great friend of the U. N. I. A., that he was. He was a tower of strength in the republic. But God has called him to his reward and to his rest. But I want to say here, that in the land of Africa there is a Sampson lying sleeping who will soon awake, and with an avenging hand and in an unlocked for hour he shall rise in might and power. What dastard can his mighty strength withstand? Ion. Rev. Van Richard of Liberia: My heart is painting me at this moment. I am deeply grieved at the news of the death of Chief Justice Dossum, who was my father-in-law. I did not believe the report when, I first heard it. One of the greatest men of Liberia is surely dead. He was one of the ablest jurists the world has ever known. In his death Liberia has lost a noble character, one of her ablest sons. And who shall fill his place only God knows. He was a warm and sincere friend of the U. N. I. A. and did not know how great a friend he was or how deeply he was interested in it until I heard those letters send this afternoon. How his daughter will take the message only God knows. May God raise up in Liberia another J. J. Dossen, another stalwart son of Liberia, another who could champion its cause. The republic was never ashamed of him. He was one of the ablest justists who ever precluded ever the Supreme Court of Liberia. You have lost a sincere friend. I will ask that you ask God to raise up another supporter, and I am sure that God will do it. Because your cause cannot die, no matter what obstacles are placed in your way. In God's own time they will and must be removed. I enjoyed the joy of the Hon. J. Van Lowe, his words sank into my heart, all that he said was so very true. There is but one exception I wish to Take and that is President King-I'm our great President was born in Monrovia. His father, whom I knew well was a British subject. His mother was a Liberiana. What he told you about the Liberian people, is what I have already told you. They are not like the people here, they are hospitable, generous, loving and kind and with no disdain. Their very smile bids you welcome to Liberia. I admire the remarks of Lady Davis when she said she will knock until the doors of Liberty are opened. Brothers those doors are bound to be opened. The powers of hell cannot keep the doors of Liberia barred against black men and they shall be opened. My being here was absolutely unknown to myself. I never thought I would be here at this time. But conditions over which I had no control have kept me here in New York and I think it is the hand of divine providence so that I will be able to go back to Liberia and tell my people that if the doors are barred against our people who want to go to Liberia it would be a most serious and damning mistake. You cannot send any man to tell those people what I will tell them and you may be assured that I will tell them all that they desire to know. I have seen people who want to go to Liberia. I have been to their homes in Pennsylvania. Some of them have already sold their possessions and the homes, have packed up and are ready to go to Liberia, and it is a stinking shame that such a thing should happen. When I go home I will tell my people that the people who wish to come to Liberia are not the scum but some of the best people in America, who will be able to help us do what we cannot do for ourselves. They have been telling you that the organization is not known in Liberia. Here is a copy of the Liberian News of July 17, with an article entitled, "The V. N. L. A. of Monrovia, Liberian Division." (Reads article.) "July 17. The Mourovia division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association held a very interesting meeting and executed a very interesting program which had been staged for the occasion. At the proper hour the first vice-president, Dr. J. F. Lawrence, took the chair and called the meeting to order, in consequence of the recent illness of the president, Mr. W. F. Dennis, who is now convalescing. Mrs. A. J. George presided at the organ, while the division sung the usual opening song. The business part of the meeting was interpersed with beautiful recitations and solos, which was most pleasing to all present. There was also impromptu addresses by a few of the members, which were loudly applauded. "This division without doubt is forcing ahead rapidly, notwithstanding the criticisms and oppositions with which it has to undergo. Still, the members are determined to do their level best to help put the propaganda of the association over the top. "Previous to closing the meeting the vice-president, presiding, thanked the members for their kind and sympathetic attention. He also in glowing terms of the manner in which all those who had taken such active part in the program of the evening. The members appear still cheerful and hopeful that in God's time they will be able to put their propaganda over the top." It is clear from that the U. N. I. A. is known in Liberia and is very active. And when I go back, they will take to it more readily and they will take to it more strongly because I will tell them what I have seen and heard and witnessed at first hand. I have seen the steamer, I have been aboard it, I can tell the people that I saw the ship. Don't fear. You have a strong leader in the person of Hen. Marcus Garvey. Just recently the late Chief Justice Dossen; my father-in-law, wrote me a letter in which he said Mr. Garvey was a great man and a great planer for the redemption of Africa. Africa is to be redeemed by the African and not by the whites man, and as sure as God sits on His eternal throne it shall be. Our forefathers did not plan Liberia for others, but for every black man. Now I want to tell you the doors are not locked against you, nor are they barred. They are only shut and a small sephyr will blow them open and you will be able to enter Liberia as sure as God wills. Hon. Marcus Garvey said: As I said in my opening remarks, the situation is pively a diplomatic one. I understand quite well what is going on, but I cannot tell you everything. You must imagine a part of it for yourself. "We of the U. N. I. A. work when there is a fight in hand. Now I only hope that all the members of the association feel like men. I know all that has happened. Somebody has to play smart. Somebody has to sidetrack somebody. Somebody has to play the fool. You remember when we were sending our ambassador to England what I said about diplomacy. Diplomacy is "if everything is all right. I know you." If everything is not all right "I never saw you before." Now read between the lines. At the same time it is such a mix up that we have to explain a lot before our people can understand. Now I trust this will prove to you the importance of the U. N. I. A. Tell me the Negro organization in America or in the world that could have such a document to be sent out to the United States of America. That thing has lifted us to the status of international importance. The whole thing is pressure. When the delegation was in Liberia, the English and French consulted around trying to find out what was going on. They had instructions. Ultimately they found out what we intended to do viz, to help to build up Liberia. So long as she remains undeveloped Liberia supplies an argument for England and France and Italy and Spain that the Negro is incapable of self-government, therefore they must go there with their protectorates, mandates and colonial domination and run the country until they have exploiled all its wealth. England and France knew well that if a group of progressive Negroes coming from the Western World equipped, with the best in science in art and in literature went there it will only be a question of time when all Africa will be on the march to progress, for the black man and they should not allow that to go on, so they had to put some obstruction in the way. Therefore, they called upon little helpless Liberia, who has borrowed money from them. She owes England and France over a million dollars, and they said to her, it is an unfriendly act to allow the U. N. I. A. to settle here. Now what are you going to do about it. Unfortunately we hadn't a J. J. Dosense as President of Liberia who would have replied: "Go to hell, and let the black man redeem his country. It is purely a question of backbone and guts and the belief that we could not pay off the two million dollars. If we had that amount to give England and France we could put backbone into somebody. That is one side of the matter. A couple of yeeks after our delegate's left Liberia the Firestone Rubber and Tire Company of America went there when they heard that Negroes had been there. They knew it was valuable, and what the land contained and what Negroes who had the aid of science would do. They said look, here is money, give us some land. You know what money is. And one million of acres of land, nearly half of the country was given to the capitalist concern of Ohio to exploit for rubber and all minerals. That is the other side of it. Now, would the Firestone Company look like going there with two million natives who are crude and whom they can employ in the rubber fields just as they did in Peru and in the Congo. Give them hardy anything but hash twice per day. Surely they should keep out the American Negroes, who knew about the price of labor and of union labor and high wages. And the word was therefore passed to keep out the U. N. I. A. crowd. That is what they played up to, and it is there that the Negro proved that he is the greatest enemy and curses to the race. That man Dubois is the greatest enemy of his race that God Almighty has ever made. He is the man who supplied the argument. Two years ago he wrote in the crisis that it was the intention of the Garvey men to go into Africa and drive out all the whites from there. That is the man who gave the argument to the English and French to tell President King. Do you wonder why DuBois, was in Differia part of this year? Go and find out among the capitalist class, who are paying Negroes to keep down Negroes. You would find out, why DuBois wrote over two years ago about the Garvey movement and why the Afro American of Baltimore also wrote their recent articles. It was wicked propaganda with the object of causing Negroes to fight against Negroes. We are our greatest enemies. But men, you will realize this—that the Liberian Government is not all the Liberian people. The things that they have published only shows how sweep England France feel and how fearful they are of the U. N. I. A. If I have no fear of John Brown I would not try to prevent him going to his house. But because they are afraid of John Brown they seek to close the doors of his house against him in the hope that the snow shall fall and that he will be froze and die. We know the strength of the U. N. I. A. and with the aid of the 400 million Narrates of the world we are going to work on. The damned audacity of it. That a bunch of Angle-Baxon papers, villains, apologists and felons to stay in Europe, and say that we must not go to Africa. Our people saw hell in the cause of France and England. In France and Flanders and in Mississippi we died. They saw a hell in the cause of America' in the Spanish-American war, and we can see hell in our own cause. Yes, let England know that the 400,000,000 Negroes are determined to redeem Africa, and even though they can use little, weak-kneed, fish-bone Presidents. to block the cause of Negro freedom, the day is not done. We are sorry that such a noble character like Chief Justice Dossen is dead. He was a real man. I appreciate a man who will live and die for a principle. Chief Justice Dossen would be alive today. I believe, but when he learned what the Negroes were doing in Monrovia I believe the poor man's heart failed. Because he had received materials already in Cape Palmas as had been arranged to start the colony. The skunks had not the decency to tell us what they were doing before they published the articles. I despise the man who has not enough decency and respect for his own manhood. You know what politics and government are. Conidile is not the everlasting President of the United States, and King is not the everlasting president of Liberia. The U. N. I. A. is going to fight until it helps save Liberia. So that when King passes away, Liberia will, still be marching on. It is a fight to the finish. Brother, they were-looking for me in 1914 and 1918 and they could not find me, but nobody has to look for me now. The U. N. I. A. can look for me any time the call comes. If these white folks think they can rob, murder and kill everybody and get away with it, they make a big mistake. They have taken advantage of the situation. It is a Shame and a disgrace that Edwin Barclay should pen a letter, after he himself penned the document in 1921 that welcomed the U. N. L. A. to Liberia. And the lying skim says he did not approve the thing. Conward? What could England do to Liberia in the face of world sentiment at the present time? Could England invade Liberia and live? So help me God, not! There would be more Englishmen dying in the West Indies and all over the world than have died for 1,000 years. It was only a matter of courage. Now I give it out again from Liberty Hall. You cannot fool with the U. N. L. A. It is not an organization; it is the spirit of four hundred men. It is not a question of whether we are going to Liberia or not, although we are going. It is a question of when black men get ready to do something to win their freedom. Africa will rodee-herself when the time comes. Not from without, but from within. So do not be worried—just stick to your program. Six years ago Marcus Garvey was on the streets on a little soap box, pleading the cause of Africa, and was unknown. Now he has one Secretary of State writing to another begging to suppress the force of this mighty movement. Please wait awhile. There is going to be some more change. We have the chancelleries of Europe working overtime. All you have to do is to keep up these things. The idea of sending all over the world now to the different consuls not to give passports to certain people. They had to disarrange the whole diplomatic service to carry out that order. Any Negroes who can do that show that they are stepping on the gas. Keep your organization intact. World chances are going on and all you have to do, even without fighting, is to step on the gas. Where is Rome? She tried to stop the progress of the people. Buried and gone. Just a few years ago Germany could have dictated the policy of certain countries and peoples. Where is she now? Asking for an economic chance. So just keep your organization intact. When you find these things are happening it means that you are nearer the goal. With all the bluff of England and France, were it not For the bad Negroes we would have already had what we wanted." And no notes would have been sent. But wait until these troubles are clear, and I get to England and France. Then, you will see something. When all these things happen don't accuse the people for it. The people of England and France are not to be blamed; nor those of Liberia. It is that group of self-seekers and grafters who are placed to represent them. But when they arouse the sleeping conscience of the people those fellows have either to deliver the goods or get away. It is only a question of time. We are going on with the program, and we are determined to put it over. We will give them a run for the money: Brother, somebody is crazy if he thinks he can plan to strangle the new Negro; to brutalize and enslave and kill" him and leave him still smiling. What does all this talk of preventing the Negro going to Africa mean? Is it friendship or fellowship? Is means that somebody hates the Negro so bad that he does not want to give the Negro a chance to live. Would you call any man who tries to keep you from your home a friend? And when you find out his designs would you greet him with kid gloves? If I have to fight to the end, I would die to prevent his plan going through. We are up against the survival of 'the fittest. This is why the late chief justice took his stand. I believe he was the greatest African patriot the world ever produced. But that man realised that the deatiny of his country, and the life of his race was at stake. You heard reference made by him to the pamphlet that he sent to be reproduced. I thought I was a radical and I thought I loved Africa, and I thought I had something to say about African freedom. In his speech delivered in Liberia in 1916, you will find that nearly everything that we have been doing here was encouched, in his remarks. Such a man is a prince not only of his race, but of his country. Gentlemen, if you want anything, in time you will win it. Going down on your knees will not win it. But stand your ground and strike back, and, by God, the Negro will strike back. Anyone who thinks that the U. N. I. A. is made up of cowards is mistaken. We have men here who are willing to die for the principles of right and justice and the liberation and emancipation of the 400,000,000 Negroes of the world. Somebody is crazy. The urgency of these men. We were at our homes 300 years ago and never disturbed anybody. These men atole us away from our homes, kept us in chattel slavery and bondage for 300 years, raped or brutalised us, sapped our life's blood or milked us. And, now that we are ready to go home, they talk about keeping us out of our home. Brothers, we will fight, and, even if the devil in hell tries to prevent us, we will kick him out of hell, in keeping with the popular refrain of the "Blues"—"We are going home, going home." Three cheers were given for Liberals, and with cries of down with the traitors of the Negro race! the meeting adjourned. WOMAN FOR GOVERNOR OF LONE STAR STATE From the New York World The country has been greatly interested in Mrs. Ferguson's victory over the prejudices and pretensions of the Klan. It has accepted as if it were almost a matter of course her victory over the prejudices and pretensions of the old-fashioned male. Ten years ago we were debating whether a woman should be allowed to vote. Today a woman is to be Governor of a great State, and most people are more interested in the principles she fought for than in the fact that she is a woman. Nothing proves so clearly the thoroughness of the triumph of Women Suffraga as the lack of debate about whether a woman can or ought to be Governor of Texas. Mrs. Ferguson is more famous as the conqueror of the Klan than as the first woman to administer the affairs of a sovereign State. The Woman Suffrage leaders demanded that sex distinctions should be obliterated from politics. They are succeeding more completely than any one had reason to expect. A woman is to be elected Governor of Texas on an issue that has nothing to do with the male or the female as such. Mrs. Ferguson has won not as a woman's candidate fighting for the rights and interests of women, but as a Texas fighting for the liberties of Texas. The abstract equality of men and women before the law has been transformed in Texas into an actual equality before public opinion and in political custom. Does any one remember now the terrifying pictures that were painted of what would happen if women participated in public life? They would quarrel with their husbands. They would neglect their homes. They would ignore their children. They did not understand the business of the nation. They would vote for the handsomest candidate. And the foundations of society would totter. There are men alive today who made speeches on all these themes, and plenty of women too. Fear is a bad counselor and a very ignogant one. We know today that homes are not broken up by arguments at dinner about the tariff and taxation and the League of Nations. They are leaked up far offender by the lack of anything better to talk about at dinner than the feelings of a tired business man about the accumulated irritations of his rather bored wife. We know today that the most neglected home is the house which has no windows on the world, the house so full of familiar wooden furniture to be dusted and redusted that it has no room for curiosity and discovery. We know there are no children so thoroughly ignored as those, whether they are rich or poor, who are denied the friendship of paternity and active people. We know today that large interests do not crowd out the smaller practical ones. They merely prevent the wasting of men's souls on tasks they can do more efficiently with a little perspective and the use of their intelligence. The notion that women have not time for politics is fantastic. They are finding the time, as Mrs. Ferguson has found it, exactly as men have found the time to do what they were interested to do. All the fears of what would happen if some of the habits of the household were revised are nine-tenths mental hazards due to no practical experience, but to simple brute fear of change. The will finds a way. A woman like Mrs. Ferguson who wishes to manage a home and fight for the liberties of Texas finds a way to do it. The people who can't do that kind of thing are, most of them, people who do not want to do it. Not wanting to do anything, it is very easy to find enormous practical difficulties in the way. All in All, Mr. Garvey Is By James A. Rose in Buffalo American We fall to see why some delight in the continued persecution of Mr. Garvey. That he is being persecuted goes without saying... That the more he is harassed and browbent, the stronger he grows among the people. That he is doing something all must concede. He may not be doing the things we indorse, but he is doing more than any other member of the race. We admire him for the things he hambone. All in all he is an extraordinary man. With Large Negro Membership It Draws the Color Line So Tightly It Could Be Walked Upon by a Novice From the Norfolk Journal and Guide It would be difficult to find a more shameful capitulation to race prejudice by an institution ostensibly devoted to disseminating Christ's teachings than that made by the Y. M. C. A. last year when shortly before the meeting of the Executive Committee in Washington, the general secretary of the Young Men's Christian Association in that city wrote a letter to Dr. John R. Mott, general secretary of the International Committee suggesting that Dr. Moton, a member of the Executive Committee, be peruaded to compromise his self-respect, and accommodate himself to the prejudices of his white associates by conveniently absenting himself from all conferences at which meals were to be served; and the subsequent approach to Dr. Moton with this suggestion by Dr. Mott, as explained in an article on the front page of this paper. The Young Men's Christian Association occasionally has been the target of scathing criticism and accusations charging that it is in the United States a monumental hypocrisy parading under a veneer of Christianity, while actually harboring and even nurturing a most unChristianlike doctrine of race prejudice; the latest and most piercing of these darts being hurled by Rev. Dr. Archibald H. Grimke, of Washington, whose sermon was so pungent in its attack on the nypocritical attitude of the institution that it aroused, the lire of a Southern Congressman, and for a time menaced the Howard University appropriations. However, this latest expose comes not from an outsider, but from a letter written by the general secretary of the Washington Y. M. C. A. to the general secretary of the International Committee, revealing a compromise of Christian principles and a capitulation to biography so fragrant that it leaves the association bared as an organization supinely and complacently acquiescing in, and even encouraging, race intolerance—the viltest foe of Christ's teachings. If there was any member of the executive committee, as Mr. Cooper presumed there was, with a conscience so seared with that most unGodly taint of race prejudice or that equally unfriendly taint of self-superiority that he should recoil at the presence of a cultured Christian gentleman of any race at the same table with him, he is in no manner fit to act the role of teaching to others the love of the Christ. That meeting of the committee held with the enforced absence of Mr. Mpton on account of his race and color—a condition divine—was nothing less than an outrageous travesty committed in the name of Christianity. It repudiated the very essence, the all-vitalizing force—love thy neighbor as thy self—of that beautiful faith. Race prejudice never found a compromisor in the Master and the organization that would so prevent the beauty of his precepts as to countenance this vile thing should at least be courageous enough to deliver itself from the name Christian. And we assert that race intolerance which is so violative 'all that makes for the highest and noblest in men should be crushed by a mishart omnialight of the righteous opinion of the forces of true Christians. Future Race Journalists Begin to Make Good Future Race Journalists Begin to Make Good (For A. N. P.) The future of Negro journalism is quite safe, if we are to judge by the number of youngsters whose work is being brought to our attention by their friends and employers. One of the most promising of the lot, one with the advantages which come from inheritance and environment, is P. Bernard Young, Jr., the seventeen-year-old son of the publisher of the Norfolk Journal and Guide. The "kid" is in his senior year at Hampton Institute and is a prospective Columbia University student. A marked copy of the Journal and Guide indicating his work obliges the writer to state that he is either getting a whale of a salary for a boy or "dad" has a burgam in his son. He writes theatrical, dramatic reviews, sport funerals, and does political re-write work with the facility of an old pencil pusher. The future of the Journal and Guide is assured if, that boy just keeps on as he and doesn't get too good to heed the advice of his father. Another Promising Youth Another youth w' surprises callers, who often mistake him for an office boy, is Joseph A. Clarke, editor of the Columbus, Ga., Times, a sprightly new weekly that has made its appearance in that thriving Georgia city. The quality of the publication would prompt one to expect at least a hewiskered man of forty. But you can't tell about these boys nowadays. They are smarter than "they used to was."

This year The organization is to discuss at its convention all those vital problems that affect the race and to lay down a solid base for the industrial elevation and development of our people. This year's convention will be far ahead in importance of all the other meetings and will call for a great deal of expenditure on the part of the parent body of the Universal Negro improvement Association, hence this appeal is made to each and every one to contribute to our general and convention fund. Let every Negro give freely as much as he can afford toward this fund no as to assist the Association to carry out its work. All members should collect and send in to the fund Address all your donations to the Secretary General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, 56 West 135th Street, New York, U. S. A.

And as we honor the Son so we honor the mother. As the two bishops pointed out to pot during the discussion in the convention, that there was a direct line between the Virgin Mary and this race of ours running back for hundreds and thousands of years, "am sorry that the good Bishop was unable to reach that point in his address tonight. But let us know the truth and let the truth stay with us as we are going forth with a new determination, with a new spirit to see the world as the world sees us. And so when we worship us in understand we are worshiping that one God, the everlasting, God, the Father of all truth, the Father of all time, the Father of all ages, that Father who sent His only begotten Son to the world to redeem fallen mankind. That Savior whom the world, the world of other races, sought to dishonor, to despise, to disgrace and ultimately crucify, that Christ of our race who in His mortal agony in endeavoring to climb the heights of Calvary was spurned by all mankind, was spat upon by Jew and Roman, was spat upon by every other member of the human race, was ridiculed by every other member of the human race, until another brother of his race in the person of Simon, the Cyrenian, came to his rescue, took the cross and bore it up the heights. As Simon, the Cyrenian, bore the cross of Jesus up the height of Calvary, so at this hour 400,000,000 Negroes are still struggling under the other cross of Calvary, and as we helped our elder brother up the heights of Calvary, so that elder brother, who is now sitting at the right hand of God Almighty, God the Father, will come to our rescue as Simon did and help us to bear the cross up the heights of African redemption. Kingdom Community So let us in all spiritual devotion and confidence bow before that Almighty God, that God of all races, that God of all men, God the Creator of the universe and all the worlds therein. Let us never forsake Him, let us never forget Him, and when we pray do not forget to say, "Our Father, Who name, Thy kingdom come. be Thy name. Thy kingdom come. For indeed His kingdom shall come. It is coming now. It is coming in the stretching out of Ethiopia's head as He Himself to the psalmist prophe- sied, and not even the legions of the darker world can stop the enwr- nard march of Ethiopia's children toward the point of sorrow. God bless us, the Lord Jesus Christ be with us, the Virgin Mary be our suppliant at the footsteal of God the Father. God the Son and God the Holy Ghost to prey for a safe passage for the children of Ethiopia in exile; that they, may one day safely under His wings-return to their own vine and figreer. Africa is calling at this hour, calling from every quarter of the globe, calling from the East, calling from the West, calling from the North and calling from the South; and, gathered as we are in this Fourth International Convention of Negroes, so are we answering the call of Mother Africa: "We are coming, we are coming, 400,000,000 of us are coming, with Jesus Christ as our standard bearer and God Almighty, God the eternal Father, God the creator of all, as our spiritual and divine Director. To Him we bow always in obedience and not to man. Mistake not the purpose of this meeting. We are not canonizing an individual in physical form. We are not lifting to height of a deity or sainthood any physical individual, but we are lifting to the height of sainthood and deity the spiritual individuals in the person of Mary, the mother of God, and Jesus the Christ, the Son of God. They are those whom others have seen fit to sanctify. The Catholic Church, through its right to apostolic succession, has lifted Him from the cross to the heights of heaven. Him the Christian world honors, whether Protestant or Catholic. They we honor tonight in our own race as others do honor to them in their race, seeing them through their own image. And so we shall no longer make the mistake of worshipping false images and false ideals. He Himself said: "Thou shalt not worship any other God but Me; thou shalt not how down to graven images or any other likeness but Mine." And when He Himself has declared that man was created in his own image and likeness, if you were to give your God and your spiritual master a form, He could have no other form but that in which you were created by Him. Man, is God's masterpiece; man is God's handiwork and if we are created in the likeness and image of our God, it is indisputable that yur God in physical form must naturally look like us; but there is no God in the physical sense; there is a God in the spiritual sense, and every one is part of the spiritual God, that God who is no respecter of persons whether they be white, yellow, red or black; that God who loves all mankind. Then why do we seek to see him as we desire? Because of the nature of the world in which we live; because, of the claim of all races of mankind to the right of their own idealism. As the Anglo-Saxon claims the right to his own idealism; as the Teuton claims the right to his own idealism; as the Mongolian claims the right to his own idealism; so the African at home and abroad claims the right to his own idealism; and we show to you this evening the portrait of a Negro Christ. If you go to Germany you will see the painting there of a typical Teuton Christ; if you go to England you will see the painting of a typical Anglo-Saxon Christ; if you go to Austria you will see the painting of a typical Austrian Christ; and in the same idealism of humanity the 400,000,000 Negroes of the world presents a portrait of a Negro Christ — a Christ the brother of all mankind, the Christ who will come a second time to save the world, the Christ who will come as he came before, the embodiment of all humanity. And that is the point we want to make. It is not only modern, but it seems to be ancient. A certain class of people have always tried to discriminate against others. It is said in this country today that one-sixteenth of Negro blood makes a man a Negro. It is no new creation of America; that prejudice is as old as the hills, that prejudice existed in the sime of Christ, and that is why He was rejected by the Jews and the Romans. Because of the Negro blood in the veins of Christ he was held as much a colored man 1200 years ago as any other individual tonight having Negro blood in his veins is held a Negro in the United States of America. And that was responsible for the crucifixion, because Christ was not of the pure Roman stock, because Christ was not of the pure Jew, stock, because he was the embodiment of humanity, and if that be so Christ had to be Jew, Roman, Caucasian, N. Mongolian and everything. Christ has a mixture of humanity and, because of the prejudice of the world, the German has taken out of the Christ the German blood of Christ, the Anglo-Saxon has taken out of the Christ the Anglo-Saxon Blood of Christ, and tonight, since He must be a Negro, the Negro has taken out of Christ the Negro blood of Christ. He is the one Christ, the brother of mankind, and as he came to the world 1,900 years ago the embodiment of all humanity, so at his second coming he shall be the embodiment of all humanity; the world rejected Him once, but under the leadership of the Universal Negro improvement Association we shall ever look for the Christ, and when He comes 400,000,600 Negroes shall not deny Him, because we have elected Him to be our standard bearer. We know indeed He has been with us always, for it was a block man, Simon the Cyranean, who rendered Him service by bearing His cross to the Mount Calvary. He was with us in the days of slavery in the southern parts of this country; He was with us in the Western Indian islands as we labored for 200 years under the yoke of alien masters. We close in our worship in exposing the black man of sorrow and annotating the mother, of that most holy Man, that holy personage, Mary the Virgin. Now, it has been a tasting day. Those of you who are now voices 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 am. 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.

Yet there may be something to what he says. "Some time ago the Negro Republic of Liberia in Africa protested against Garvey's plan to send members of his organization to that country. The man behind the protest are American Negroes who were sent to Liberia by certain interests and trusts destroys of seizing the natural wealth of the African state. Whenever Liberia needed a loan these Republican monopolists saw to it that the nation, not themselves, lent the money. "The gang now controlling Liberia opposes Garvey's entrance and they want no one in his organization, fearing, of course, that their own game will be spiked. are a few facts for you to consider. ierra protests against Garvey to President Coolidge: "2. Harvey Firestone, rubber tire king, goes to Plymouth with Edison and Henry Ford, and plays a part in the Old Sap Bucket' drama, enjoying the President's hospitality on the Colonel's farm: "3. Liberia grants Harvey Firestone a concession, which gives him absolute control of 1,000,000 acres of land where crude rubber is procurable. "This land is the most valuable rubber-growing territory available in the world; the British Empire controls practically all the rest. "Now, get the combination: Liberia and Firestone; Firestone and Coolidge. "Perhaps the old sap bucket is going to be used to carry crude rubber from Liberia to the United States. "When Garvey says there is something rotten in the state of Liberia you should not dismiss his allegations. Perhaps he knows what he is talking about. "He thinks Liberia's rubber supply should belong to his race, not to Figgestone. "Is there anything dangerous or menacing in that belief?" These Negroes should be damned to the farthest parts of hell. They are not only traitors to their country, but traitors to the entire race. What better position could Liberia have been in? If you want rubber, Mr Firestone, come and deal with Liberia. It would advance the importance of Liberia as one of the great countries of the world, producing what the world wants. And after these Negroes had such a splendid chance to dictate terms, they gave it away for a mess of pottage. You bet these Negroes could not have got more than $30,000 each for having sold out their whole country and their whole race. The white people knew well that if they allowed us to get our hands on those lands we would have become too important, controlling one of the greatest industries in the world. And to deprive us of that position they used our own race to nullify something that would have advanced our cause. ? Yes, you can make $100 a week. You can make $5,000 a year and not work half as hard as you do now. You can do as well as H. T. Pearl, of Oklahoma, who made $750 in one month. You can begin like R. L. Marshall, of New Jersey, who made $80 in five hours. You don't have to wait. You don't have to invest any money. You don't have to take any course or do any studying. You can start right in next week. You can begin at once to make a really big income. The opportunity is waiting. The money is there for you to get. Do you want it? Then read this ad carefully and answer it, for this offer, is meant for you. More Than A Million Dollars Made By Our Representatives In 8 Months are the success that we are up against, and that in why we cannot talk too much. If there is something serious or valuable to do we must not let the world know, because they may be and get it before us. If we did not have to talk so much, probably the Firstmen people would not have known what is in Africa. But they found out what valuable things were there, and as quick as our delegates got, there they were on the spot, because they had money. So not only will we lose that, but our very lives if we do not use our judgment and our means. The article reads—get the combination: Liberia and Firestone; Firestone and Coolidge. Hood is down there. Debois was down there to turn sentiment so that the Firestone agents could get the concession, if he could show that the thing could be legally and properly done. Then, to strengthen their hand, they decided to send the note to President Coolidge not to send the U. N. I. A. people there, because they were going to stir up revolution and war. It is an appeal from Caesar to Caesar. That is the art of diplomacy. That is how these other folks do things. And you must learn to do things in the same way. You must not expect us to tell you everything in Liberty Hall, but you must use your judgment. There are some Negroes who are worse than the devil, and you should not want Marcus Garvey, to tell you how to get up with them. Let me give you an idea as to how things happen. You see a man going to Japan, but you don't know why he is going there. Probably it is to upset the whole Japanese system, representing some other power. Sometimes you hear that an Englishman dies in some alley or is run over by some automobile in some city. You may think it an accident, but, as a matter of fact, that thing was arranged as part of the diplomacy of some country. Sometimes a man is followed all over the world, and it may be just convenient to finish him at a particular place. Sometimes you learn that certain papers were lost by a man living at a hotel. Many times those are valuable statepapers, which were stolen by agents of some other power. I cannot tell you everything about what is called diplomacy. To show you another act of diplomacy, Liberia foolishly and yet with a purpose, treated our men recently sent there with distrespect. Did not want them to land. The English people next door to Lagos, where they went treated them most courteously and nicely. That is diplomacy, so that they may never find out the cause of their not being accommodated in Liberia, nor who is to blame, nor put the blame in the direction of those who treated them so quietly. Sometimes you have to treat your enemy nicely so as not to let him know you regard him as such. Now about the report. I trust that none of you will become discouraged about what has happened or what has been published or said about the work in Liberia. When you go back to your respective divisions or communities, ask those who have been getting ready to go next month or in October to wait until we send them instructions from headquarters. We won't publish it broadcast. Tell them to keep in touch Save To You That You $100 a W Yes, you can make $100 a week. You can make half as hard as you do now.

I recommend that you get behind the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Co. and the shipping business, making a trade route between Africa, America, the West Indies and Central America. Start carrying our carriage, taking our produce from Africa. Get the money to pay for the ship and to man the ship, and send that ship for a couple of trips, first to the West Indies and Haul, and then on the long road to Africa. We must have money enough so that she get coal and water to return. We must not do as was done by Chief Sam. We will not send this ship to Africa until we are ready. But don't expect us to tell you too much. When you go back try to get the balance of the $70,000 to pay for the ship, as that is the next trick that they will try to pull off on you; they will try to see that you do not live up to the contract. So long as I have breath to live, and so long as you retain your sense and judgment, they will have a hard time to do so. They said we would not get the ship; we beat them once, let us beat them twice by paying for the ship; and let us beat them thrice by sailing the ship. Are we not going to do it? (Cries of yes.) You need not fear success. I can see success. It is purely a fight to the finish. When we carry this fight to the West Indian and African Negroes all that we want to do is to prepare ourselves to take away from those people what they can produce. I want to see the white man who will convince the Negroes that it is his duty if he has something to sell not to sell it to his race. All that you want is money, equipment and argument. We have the argument, we have the equipment, so we want the money and with that we will get there. Policy in the Future I am, therefore, recommending to this convention that our policy in the future is to develop the trade relationship between the Negroes of America, the West Indies and South and Central America and Africa and build up a strong and firm industrial base with which we can get everything that we want. Firststone is just a name, but the thing about him is the money that is why he got the million acres for nothing. If the U. N. A. or the Black Cross could get the money they will have all they are looking for. You will have the whole continent for yourself. With money, you can buy Lloyd George, Ramsay McDonald, I believe you can buy the King himself. With the money we can put over our program in spite of all that has been said. When you have nothing, you are not considered, but when you have something everybody is your friend. If you have money when you reach in town everybody know it, but when you have no money no one knows. You Can Make Week can make $5,000 a year and not work do as well as H. T.

We know the records of those Negroes who are opposing us and there are few about whom we have not got a line up. So just wait and follow the advice we are going to give you. About the colonization scheme, people do not colonize individually. The Pilgrims did not come here one by one. You have to go by organized groups, so that they only make themselves ridiculed when they want you to go individually. You must go in organized groups so that if anything happens you can get your neighbor to help you, if you need anything. Don't let them fool you, as there is a God in heaven, as the world is in existence, with God's help, we will put over the program. Give us time, exercise a little patience and we will put over the program if you give us the support necessary. as I don't allow the black wolves to devour you. What President King Thought in 1920 Hon. F. A. Toote of Philadelphia, joining the debate, said: I want to read a few remarks of President King, delivered in January, 1820, on the occasion of his inauguration. They are as follows: "Time after time each Chief Magistrate of the nation, having discharged his duty in the exalted position to which he had been called, has gone to the retirement of private life or to labor and reward in a higher and eternal sphere, and the President's office invariably handed over without the slightest political friction to the citizen chosen by his peers to occupy the executive chair for the ensuing constitutional term." Those were his opening remarks. When it comes to emigration to Liberia, he said: "The visit which I made to the United States of America on my return from the Peace Conference in Paris was of a very interesting and helpful nature, in that, aside from my official work, I had a most excellent opportunity to meet the colored people in several parts of the country in my public intercourse. I found most of the masses enthusiastic in their desire to return to Africa; while, on the other hand, I discovered that most of the Negroes of culture, wealth and intelligence are not inclined at present to come to Africa, not because they are opposed to immigration to Liberia as such, but because they do not feel justified in deserting the light for social and political equality with the white American in which they are now absorbed. To my mind the success of the struggle for them is very doubtful if not hopeless. I find them, nevertheless intensely interested in the progress of Liberia and, the strongest champions in America of Liberia's integrity and autonomy. "Despite the disadvantages under which the American Negroes labor, they have acquired money and education, to an extent surprising to the stranger, and they are beginning to organize their resources in productive work in many directions. Everywhere I went I met an earnest desire for specific information with reference to this country. The masses of colored people seem to feel that they do not have in the United States the opportunity for untrained development which they would enjoy in a country where they would find social, and political equality. I got the impression from all I heard and saw among our people in America that there are thousands representing both wealth and education availing thefulness of time when they might engage with us in nation building. While immigration to our country should be carefully handled, so that we may not get an influx at any time in such large numbers of people as we would be unable to absorb into the body politic, yet there can be no doubt as to the desirability of adding to our America-Liberian population settlers from America who want to come here and who, if carefully selected and properly added, would help us to build up the country. If you could spend, as I did, nearly a year amid the broad, invigorating intellectual and spiritual atmosphere of foreign lands, and while there you could study as I did men of American descent who are visiting and dwelling there, you could easily see that we might do well if we could draw upon the colored people of the United States, the West Indies and other parts of the world for help in the effort we are making here to build a Negro nationality, which we hope may some day challenge the unqualified fellowship of the other nations of the world. That we have within our borders a strong element of aboriginal people is an indisputable fact, but they need guidance by those of us who have a greater knowledge of the conditions of the present-day civilization. The American-Liberians have had their strength severely tested by the pioneer spade work which they have been doing now for three quarters of a century, so therefore we need not hesitate to send out to our race in foreign lands the Macedonian cry, "Come over and help us." If we study the history of all new countries we shall find that they built themselves up through immigration, new blood reinforcing old blood, which necessarily spent much of its energy in foundation work under pioneer conditions. Take America for example, its great industries, its productive farms, its multifarious operations on sea and land, have resulted from the steady stream of immigrants which followed the Pilgrim fathers of Virginia. If the early American settlers had pursued a policy of opposition to immigration, the development of their country would have been retarded, and the old world would have been without that inspiration and help which it has received and which it is now receiving from this leading power. New peoples strengthen old populations, and the combined energies produce results which contribute mightily to the common weal. But while immigration is desirable, it must be carefully safeguarded. It would injure the country if people would come in large numbers, unless there is profitable employment for dump on the farm, in the trade, and in the general economic and industrial directions. Before we are ready for an indian population, we must open our roads, build railways and make improvements in other directions, like harbors and docks. Now, in order to carry on such work on these lines, laborers are needed, and it is here the Negroes of America and the West Indies will fit in, and if they are carefully selected, and have small hobbies built in which they are to be employed, they will try, and work contentedly, especially for their children and for their social and spiritual wants, such as churches, etc. In building roads, they open farm lands. Some of these laborers would eventually take up these lands, with the result that communities would arrive along the route of the roads, railways and would create wants which will have to be supplied by different industries such as carpentrying shoe-makering, tailoring and other industries incident to civilized communities. The immigrants being thus carefully introduced into the country would attract skilled artisans, mechanics and laborers of their race from across the Atlantic and they in turn would attract the men of wealth, culture and education of our race, all of whom would then come in ever-ier as numbers and would be absorbed in the body politic and become a productive class. It will, therefore, be the aim of the new administration to afford every facility to immigration on the lines above indicated and to this end suggestions are invited from parties and companies in the United States and elsewhere, interested in immigration to Liberia of Negroes from America and the West Indies." Continuing, Hon. F. A. Toots said: I won't read any more. I want to say that that son of Janus (the God with two faces), told the people of Liberia in his inaugural address that the only hope of Liberia is immigration of American and West Indian Negroes and yet at this time he says that he does not want them. And he says that friendly relations must be kept up between the powers that are around him. This appears in the New York World this morning. But, regardless of all that may be said or written, all that the U. N. I. A. has to do is to make up our minds to go there and to prepare the land for the future generations of the black race and Liberia. Made a Serious Mistake President King has made a serious mistake. But in the constitution of Liberia it is easy any time the people feel dissatisfied at those in authority to call upon them to withdraw and have an election for another government. Therefore we must call upon the natives to prevent King from continuing to do just what they like. They have declared that they do not want us, yet the constitution says that all peoples of Negro descent are welcome. Maybe the white man has spread propaganda that the members of the U. N. I. A. are people of white descent and that we are not Negroes. I feel sure that the ashes of the great President Monroe who got America to help found that country for Negroes who desired to be free, would turn in his grave when he looks at the sacrifices that he made for Negroes and for those men who are now holding the reins of power to tell us that our home is barred against us. It is time to get those who are going back to their divisions to know exactly what is going on, because the enemy is going to use this as their greatest weapon. The fight is on. The President-general has told us there is no mining mattes now. We cannot turn back. "They can men die better, than by facing fearful odds, for the ashes of their fathers, and the temples of their God." Therefore we shall foresee Africa. They will have to withdraw. The new Negro as making up his mind. These roommates have done nothing. We are being burnt at the stake now because of those men. Every time the N.A.A.C.P. wants to raise money they tell about the lynching of some man in Georgia or elsewhere. We don't want to be told anything about lynching. The white men know what is going on. Last Tuesday night the mayor attended our meeting in Philadelphia. He said he had been in Liberty Hall and had heard Garvey. He said Garvey had not succeeded in doing anything. He then proceeded to read all that the Negro had accomplished here. That is how the white man always does things to show that the Negro ought to be satisfied. But the new Negro is dissatisfied and will never be satisfied. White World Prepared to Overrun the Tropics Overrun the Tropics The following extracts from the address of Dr. George E. Vincent, president of the Rockefeller Foundation, delivered before the International Health Conference, Kingston, Jamaica, July 23, 1921, were read by Hon. S. A. Haynes, of Virginia, in the course of a speech during the Liberia debate: "When Malthus in 1728 sounded his note of warning he had in mind the population and food supply of not one country or continent, but of the entire world. It is significant that the famous English philosopher included the tropics in his purview. . . His pre-occupation with the various checks to population is obvious and natural." The fact that Mathusin did not foresee changes which for a time quite upset his calculations does not detract from his deserved reputation for sound reasoning and an essential scientific attitude. It is easy now to see that the opening up of the new sources of food, the application of machinery or cheap labor to agriculture, the development of transportation and commerce, in short, the economic integration of the world have not only postponed the pressure of population on food supply, but have the latter a terrestrial rather than a local issue. If students of the population problem are to be believed, the Mathusian law is closing upon maginkan. The recent world war is in some quarters interpreted as a warning. The breed- bag of banana flesh in bottles in recorded in armagedronic curves, which my analogy are said to be the paperwriting on the wall for a probably profiteer human race. The industrializing of great populations which must import food, and decreasing exports of grains and meat from certain other regions are declared to be promotions of slowly but relentlessly approaching danger, grim notice that populations are increasing faster than the means of subsistence in the world considered as a whole. The population problem leaves the average man as unmoved as when he learns that in no many thousands and millions of years the earth will freeze and all life will disappear. It must be confessed that the man in the street has been given some ground for his incredulity and hope. He reads about the marvels of chemical discovery. May not synthetic foods be gathered from the air and applied cheaply in convenient capsules? Again; he hears of the vast subarctic regions in which it asserted countless herds of reindeer and musk ox could be raised. May not fish protected from natural enemies multiply almost indefinitely? And then the tropics, especially the wet tropics. Are not almost inexhaustible supplies of food to be drawn from these hot-houses of the earth? Surely the application of Malthus' law can be postponed so indefinitely as to make the discussion quite academic, or at least until something a little more rational can be done about the birthrate. Do at last we come to the tropics in their setting as a world problem as one possible source of at least temporary relief from the presence of population, as a challenge to science as an opportunity for high and fine adventure for team play among the nations, for general rivalry to promote a common cause, which at once includes and transcends the permanent interests of any one region or people. It is easy to understand the optimism of Gorgas. It was natural for him to think of other tropical areas in terms of Panama. Once the tropical fevers, especially malaria, are eliminated, there is no reason why the white man should not remain as vigorous and strong in hot areas as in the temperate zones. He predicted a drift of white races toward the tropics in the coming centuries. JUDGE FOR YOU THE Madam C.

Although all newspapers have an up-bill run, especially in the beginning, but none have it as the Negro papers have it. In the first place the Negro papers must be supported of most entirely by the Negro men's poor people and a people who do no know the value of a Negro paper. The race does not do any kind of business on a big order, therefore it cannot advertise on a big order as the white folks do, and advertising is the title of newspapers as well as the title of business. Those of the race who do business do not advertise but little White papers get enough advertising from the business men to run the papers and then a great deal of subscription money from the black man therefore they can afford to publish a little something now and then for both white and black free of charges. This the Negro papers cannot do.—Tampa Bulletin. We will never become a great people as long as we are mixed up with a polglot civilization as we are in America. We are a black people using a thought and language that is white. The books we read for the most part are written by white people, and largely from their point of view. Our great leaders and teachers are white instead of black. Our God is a white God instead of a black God. Most people finch at the mere mention of a black God. We are white people all dressed up in black skins, with nowhere to go. It would be far better for us if we thought of America only as our training school and not as our permanent home.

Y. PROF. M. A. FIGUEROA. Editor La libertad es una de las tendencias de la humanidad y ella no es solamente poseida por el ser humano, sin que también por todos los seres del reino animal. En todas las epocas el hombre, el ser superior de la creación, ha tratado de preservar su libertad, pero ha veces, bien por negligencia de su parte o por causas ajenas a su voluntad, recae sobre el la sumisión o esclavitud, quedando en tal estado hasta que reconozca su posición como hombre y como parte integrante del genero humano. Los Antiguos Directores de la Raza, Como Las Viejas Tradiciones, Deben Dejar Paso a la Juventud Progresista Del Présente—Cúmulo de Hipocresias, de Graudes, de Decepclones y de Intrigas—La Clase de Elemento Que Traicionó al Salvador, Traiciona a Nuestra Organización—Las Masas Predominarán Destronando la Avaricia y el Despotismo Toda vez que el hombre reconoce su poder, no solamente conto una maquirania humana sino como un ser dotado de una inteligencia cuyo desarrollo es ilimitado, podrá no simplemente demandar sino adquirir el respeto a tan sagrado derecho su libertad. Cristo, reconociendo su poder como hombre, triunfo por sobre todo mal y dió al mundo su libertad espiritual; Socrates, amante de la libertad, nos abrió paso a la luz filosofica; Booker T. Washington se retiene en nuestra memoria como libertador heríqo de las letras, obteniendo para si la excelencia de su libertad ntelectual, y no siendo egoista, dio a su raza un institute del saber para preparar al cerebro de nuestra juventad. Al entrar de lleno en las actividades de un nuevo año, nuestra imaginación retiene aún los innumerables contratiempos, decepciones y entorpecimientos de que hemos sido objeto en el pasado. El conocimiento de tales causas debiera ponernos en mejor condición para dirijir nuestra barca a puerto seguro, a través de las tormentas del presente año. Si hubieramos de determinar la acción que como pueblo debieramos seguir durante el transcurso del presente año, con el objeto de asegurar nuestro éxito en el desarrollo de mayores ventajas, enfaticamente aconsejariamos el descarte de los antiguos directores de la raza, colocando en su lugar aquel elemento contemporáneo que ha adquirido sus lecciones de decepción en la árdua escuela de la experiencia. No podemos olvidar, por un momento a nuestros libertadores políticos, quienes cuando está más bajo el yugo de la opresión, se arrriesgan el emanciparnos de tan desgaciadas situación, la cual nos causa siempre tantos sainabores. Entre estos grandes heroes tenemos a Toussaint L'Ouverture, libertador de la actual república haitiana; al Titón de Bronce de la revolución cubana, al valeroso general Antonio Maceo, quien combatió con gran patriotismo y mayor abnegación las fuerzas espanolas en las guerras por la independencia de la Perla de las Antilla a Crispus Attucks, el intrépido norte-americano, quien luchó con gran fré durante la guerra entre los estados americanos, por la emancipación de su raza. Los directores decanos de nuestra raza han sido inyectados con el malsano virus de la hipocrecia del fraude, de la decepcion y de la intriga; en su mente no existe otro pensar que el beneficio propio en particular. Ellos se colocan en el lado opuesto a hombres y movimientos por el mero hecho de protejer sus intereses, en contraposición del beneficio que tales hombre y que tales medidas puedan reportar a las masas en general. El infortunio en lo que a nuestra dirección respecta, estriba en que ésta es regularmente impuesta x nuestro pueblo no parece aún darse cuenta de la diferencia existente entre esta clase de dirección y la dirección electiva. El avaro ntauralmente ha de procurarse siempre la mejor posición, cuando ésta debe ser solamente ocupada por los más ábiles y a elección del criterio de las masas. En tales circunstancias debemos educarnos, y así preparados demostrar a dicha dirección impuesta que su reinado ha llegado a su término. Y ahora gloria et in terra al hombre mas determinado del presente, quien por virtud de la libertad adquirida para si mismo, ha sabido luchar para establecer la organización mas conspicua de nuestra raza en el universo, el honorable Marcus Garvey. Sabido es que los pueblos, como los individuos en particular, labran sus propios destinos y por tanto corresponde a nosovo apostol; seguid la senda que el os determina en busca de libertad; prestad toda cooperaction a la Association Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra, y en no lejano dia disfrutarea de ese dercho sagrado, vuestra libertad, como recompensa de todos vuestros es fuerzos y sacrificios. Detengámonos por un momento para estudiar la dirección de nuestra raza, y hemos de notar que cualquier individuo que escribia una carta a un periódico, haga una manifestación con el objeto de ser publicada o acquiera una posición por medio de la influencia de un blanco, se considera inmediatamente como un gran director, y aventajándose de ciero grado de ignorancia de parte de nuestro pueblo, es aceptado incuestionablemente como tal. Esta clase no de dirección sino de imposición es la que realmente a causado la destrucción de la raza, por el hecho de no poseer un programa definitivo; como los avaros de todas las edades, se soneten al programa de conveniencia, creando la piedra en el camino de cualquier movimiento progresista. Leonardo Bryan San German, Oriente, Cuba Filipinas en la Liga de Naciones M. Quezón, presidente del senado filipino y de la delegación del archipiélago a los Estados Unidos para gestionar la independencia de las Filipinas, llegó a Linebra acompañado del senador filipino, señor Sergio Omeña y el sen Claro Recto, miembros de la delegación. El es uno de los principales dirigentes de la: Filipinas y del movimiento independentista en el archipiélago. Goza de la confianza de sus conciliadanos. Fue esta la misma clase de dirección que en aquella época, y en aquella comunidad se opuso tenazmente al Salvador y a su religión. Los tal llamados doctores y sabios combatieron su filosofia y le calificaron de idiota y de intolerable; ellos no pudieron ver la bondad ni la promisión de la doctrina que predicaba, sin embargo, después del transcurso de casi dos mil años, notamos que la misma clase de elemento se ha convertido en patrocinadores y predicadores del cristianismo. Nuestros colegios, nuestras universidades, nuestros seminarios, nuestras diocesis y nuestras iglesias están llenas de doctores en divinidad, de doctores en leyes, de doctores en teologia, quienes se esfuerzan por supremacia en las enseñanzas de la doctrina de Cristo. Esta clase de elemento, y con el mismo sentimiento, declaró que Cristo era simplemente un tonto, en los días cuando indicaa a las masas el camino de salvación, le condenó, indicando que sus prédicas eran solamente escuchadas por el pueblo ignorante y aplaudido y seguido a todas partes por los analfabetas. El primordial propósito de la delegación filipina en esa ciudad, donde el mes entrante se remira la quinta asamblea de la Liga de Naciones, es familiarizarse con los trámites para la incorporación futura de las Filipinas en la Liga de Naciones, una vez que haya obtenido la independencia de los Estados Durante su estada alli la delegación estará en contacto con los representantes de todas las naciones del mundo y conferenciará acerca de la conveniencia de que las islas, una vez que sean declaradas independientes, formen parte del compacto universal de la Liga de Naciones. Si hubieramos de hacer juicio crítico sobre la inteligencia de aquel pueblo que existió en la época del Salvador, dariamos gran crédito y sobrada razón a aquella multitud que con gran atención y mayor reverencia escuchó las prédicas de su filosofia divina. La masa común, el tal llamado pueblo analfabeta que pudo interpretar, el sermón en el Monte de Sinai y su profundidad filosofica, demostró mas sentido común y mayor inteligencia que aquellos sabios y aquellos doctores que repudiaban. A la luz de la verdad, la filosofia de Cristo ha sido aceptada por el mundo intelectual como la fuerza ética y moral más prepotente en el reajuste de la sociedad humana. El señor Quezón y su comitiva acaba de visitar algunos países európeos, a su regreso de los Estados Unidos, en viaje de propaganda independentisa, y volverá a Norte América en su oportunidad, para cuando vaya a reunirse el congreso, después de as elecciones, a continuar la gestión con más vigor que antes. El manifesta que confía en el espíritu de justicia de los Estados Unidos y que no duda que so gobierno cumplira la palibra prometida solemnamente por su congreso de dar libertad a las Filipinas. Hubieron de transcurrir centenares de años para que los intelectuales se dieran cuenta de ello; la masa común se dio cuenta en breves momentos; y como una repetición de la historia, esa misma clase de elemento se opone aún a otros movimientos reformistas, los cuales tienden a mejorar la condición del pueblo que sufre. No seria necesario enumerarlos uno tras otro, pero hemos de hacer referencia al movimiento de la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Baza Negra, el cual una y otra vez ha sido objeto de ataque de parte de los sapientísimos de la raza, quienes como los de la época de Cristo, también han manifestado que su programa era un sueno irrealizable y sus adeptos la masa ignorante; pero afortunadamente, el tiempo ha de ser nuestro mejor testigo. Mientras tanto, se propone se seguir el curso de las sesiones de la asamblea de la Liga, atendiendo a ellas como especie de observadores extraoficiales filipinos. Asi podrán darse cuenta personalmente de los trámites y de la manera en que se verifican los debates en el alto cuerpo internacional. Creese que per- manecerá alli durante el curso de las actuales sesiones, amueve so se ha declarado nada seguro sobre el particular. La delegación filipina ve con optimismo el futuro de las islas. Un Nuevo embajador Un hombre de negocios práctico y un abogado experto siendo necesarios para representar a los Estados Unidos como embajador en Méjico, J. R. Sheffield, designado para suceder a C. B. Warren, reuneodos los requisitos necesarios. Mr. Sheffield no ha tenido, es exacto, preparación diplomática, ni demuestra su carrera conocimiento intimo del pueblo mejicano y de sus problemas especiales. Pero tiene una diplomacia natural, como se demuestra en el hecho de que es reconocido como jefe de su partido en esta ciudad y que ha ocupado cargos de honor y de utilidad. Fue presentado en la vida pública por uno de los respetados leaders del partido republicano, el senador William B. Allison, de Iowa, al que servio con secretario particular. Ha sido siempre un leal republicano pero no a expensas de su criterio. Mr. Sheffield fue uno de los más ardorosos partidarios, del alealde Mitchel, deporcrata, en su ulfima campaña. En un inciting especial del club republicano, que adopta una resolución apoyando la candidatura de Mitchel, Mr. Sheffield declaró que todos los elementos de leales, no honrados y sin reputación de esta ciudad se hallan en un lado, y es lado es el opuesto a la reelección del alcalde Mitchel. Por suuyor y su previsión, por su-huradez al atacar cosas que sabra no eran politicamente sensatas, por todo lo que ha hecho para hacer esta cindida limpia, y se seguridad que sea un honor vivir en ella, yo me pongo a su lado. Es satisfactorio saber que los Estados Unidos estarán representados en la capital mexicana por un americano de patriotismo solido cuva conducta y principios son los que mejicanos tienen en estimacion Tiene cualidades sociales, urbanaidal, facto, consideracion para los *demas*. Tiene una palabra flida, una presencia grata; en ocasiones de protocolo sera un honor para su país. Mr. Sheffield deberia ser muy util en el fomento de las relaciones commerciales entre los dos países, quesesta hallan en gran necesidad de una mano que la guie. Cuoto homicida del automovilismo Si deseara matar a un hombre dice el magistrado House en la Corte de Tráfico, no compraria un revolver. Sogeria un automovil para atropellarlo. El Gran Jurado decidiría que fue un accidente injurioso, y seria puesto en libertad. Hay explicaciones para esta manifestación en la lentitud de los agentes físicos y en la lenidad de los Grandes Jurados en los casos de homicidio, pero con todo el magistrado House no mantendrá seriamente su punto de vista. El autor no violó nos un armadillo. Sus victimas son vivimas de la casualidad. Frecuentemente es imposible determinar si el conductor, el transiente o alguno de los dos es el culpable. Un rápido y seco castigo de los conductores que causen la muerte o lesiones por mancuñar su automóvil demostradamente sin cuidad, disminuir indulgence el número de los accidentes que se producen con repugnance regularidad en muevas calles. El castigo usual es ligero y-tardio. Pero los agentes fisales y los Grandes hurados responsables aducian con justicia que el conductor, aunque pueda haber desoidecido las leyes del trafico, frecuentemente no es más culpable de tal desobedience que mil ótros que pasan por la misma e quina a la misma hora. El automovil en las calles de la ciudad es un problema que ni una ciudad se ha atrevido todavía a acometer. Es un problema social y de ingeniería que no puede solucionarse con leyes de trafico, semanas de seguridad de castigos energicos. El automovil ha sido construido para correr más de prisa-del lo que es compatible con la seguridad donde hay un trafico muy intenso. El automoción, el taximetro y el automovil privado, van por azones commerciales siempre muy apresuradamente. Mientras no haya reducción en los transcuentes y en los vehículos automoviles habrá accidentes sufridos por los transcuentes. Mientras un constante entrecruzamiento de trafico hacia la parte alta de la ciudad con el dirigido hacia la parte baja, habra choques. Son inevitables, y se reflejan an las estadísticas que varian apenas de mes a mes. Auyda a remediar la situación el ser cuidadoso. Ayuda el hacer observar las leyes de traficos. Pero continúa la diaria matanza. The New York Times, sin duda el organo de más influencia en la opinión pública seria de Nueva York, y quiza de los Estados Unidos, dedica un editorial a la proxima elección presidencial de Cuba. Ese diario, como muchos otros elementos americanos, ve y ha visto siempre con simpatia al expresidente general Menoca. A ello tienen derecho y—en bastantes puntos—pueden tener razón. Que se le dediquen al expresidente los elogios más vehementes, y los josíjos más incondicionales, es absolutamente razonable. Porque, al fin y al cabo, los grandes diarios de este país, a vuelta de clamar la absoluta, independencia de Cuba, intervienen e influyen cuanto pueden eq la política interior de aquella república. Pero lo que no se comprende, desde el pinto de vista estricto del sentido común, es que, para apoyar la candidatura del general Menocal, se asienten juicios descabellados y afirmaciones que, seguramente, Cuba entera acogera con una ironica sonrisa—ya que alli el buen humor nacional lo cubre todo con un soniario risuéño y un gesto generoso de olvido. El Tímes habla de la immoralidad administrativa. "Fe una herencia de los españoles, afirma, que junca vaciaron en explotar a Cuba." Los españoles, sin duda, conocieron la immoralidad administrative en la isla. Se ha reconocido y dicho en no parcs terminos por los nisntos coloníos: dores. Pero, después de ellos, como razon de ser de que se les expulsara a ellos, hubo una nueva era de reformas radica les, de gobierno propio y de aplicación—mas o menos diplomatica—de le Enmienda Platte. Que terribe potencia ha tenido ese mal de la immoralidad española que no han podido con el dos administraciones americanas y una constante supervisión del gobierno hecha desde Washington? El Tiempo, sin duda,ijo ha recogido, a flor deiopinion publica, daños actuales de esto. Todos los cambios, lo mismo que los espírites que contienen con ellos, saben de la unioridad de "tiempo de España". Saben también de la unioridad de los tiempos poriores. Y saben además, ye la dicho en inejctos y escririto en diarios por los más preciados grandes hombres de Cuba—de la Cuba republicana no de la colonia—que esa unioridad no es fruto de la corrupción de los nacionales; sino que en ella colaboran, y hasta la dulge y muy puigenguenga para enpuig, dulges extintieron en posición de hacerse en y sentir. Iguaçu, eis, es centra los espes la laz. Extender negales, es como tapar el sol con un delo. Nú Cuba ha nacido ayer, m Washington acaba de enterese de lo que alt su sede.

El mal del contrabando de inmigrantes esta reconoció, y al equete cer que estos delientes sean castigados, energimacente. Mr. Curran desea indulablemente que se se sente un ejemplo que deaname a otros. Pero la principal culpa esta en los refos de los contrabandistas, y la cosa más efectiva que se puede hacer es aumentar la vigilancia en las costas y en las fronteras. Los inmigrantes entradas de contrabando no pueden seruestos en libertad. Deben ser castigados y deportados. Pero los peores delicuentes son los que se entregan a este comercio ilícito que ye deberian ser puesto fuera de toda actividad. La ley de restricción da la inmigración prescribe que quienquiera que introduzca extranjera ilegalmente en el paja deba pagar al recaudador de adunas del distrito en cuya juridicción se halle el puerto de llegada la suma de mil pesos por cada inmigrante, así como una suma igual al costo del pasaje. Queda por ver que penalidad-mas fuerte que esta puede ser impuesta. Si las leyes existentes no proveen mayores multas o penas de reclusion para los contrabandistas, es al deber del Congreso obrarapar dilagamente las leyes necesarias. Pero ea ain más importante reforzar las patrullas que custodian las fronteras del país. La consignación para el nuevo año hasido aumentada en mas de sobre la del un millón. año último, con el fin de auydar. a los functionarios de la inmigración a luchar con este aspecto del problema. Pero se necesita más y habra que crear fuerzas más considerables para la patrulla de las fronteras. El número de inmigrantes introquidos de contrabande has sido calculado en cifra tan elevada como mil diarios. No es esto, por de contado, más que una adivinamiento. Si existiera un conocimiento exacto acerca del número que entra, seria mucho más faciletenerlos. Pero es cierto que las costas de la Florida y de Long Island y de New Jersey son sitios populares para desembarcar a los inmigrantes de contrabando, y que cruzan la frontera canadiense y mejicana muchos millares de inmigrantes ilicitos cada mes. Se previo que la probación de la ley de restricción de la inmigración aumentaría el contrabando. Si es exacto que el trafico de inmigrantes de contrabando ha crecido hasta el punto que entran tantos extranjeros desafiando la ley como-cumpliendo con ella, ello constituye una farsa de la ley y es una injusticia para los que vienen a este país legalmente. Es evidente que ciertas personas han constituido un negocio de la introducción clandestina de inmigrantes. Algunas de ellas han sido caputadas. Es de presumir que se hallen en contacto con agentes aquí en el extranjero. Esos son los hombres que merecen el castigo más severo? Si se hace que los riesgos sean tan grandes que el dinero que los inmigrantes estén dispuestos a pagar por su entrada clandestina no compense a los contrabandistas, mucho del^ perjudicial conerciobra habra cesado pronto.

APORTE SU OBOLO PARA EL GRAN MOVIMIENTO DE TODAS LAS EPOCAS POR LA REDENCION DE AFRICA Y EL ADELANTO DE LA RAZA EN TODAS PARTES. OUR WOMEN and WHAT THEY THINK-Edited by Mrs. Amy Jacques Garvey DURING our tour of the Mid-West, West and Southern States of this country last October, we were able to thoroughly familiarize ourselves with the activities of the Ku Klux Klan and from our observation of the political strength of this organization in the above-named sections we were compelled to admire its potency in the nation. Some Negroes who recently have not traveled much in this great country, and who did not trouble themselves to observe the change that has come over the entire nation within the last four years, were vigorous in their attacks on the K. K. K. and even challenged their existence. One should realize, as a Negro, in dealing with the K. K. K. that he not only has to reckon with the white man who wears a mask, but any white man who acknowledges his own race. There are different kinds of Kluxers. Some wear masks; others do not. Some lynch Negroes. Others starve Negroes, economically until the latter die. Some are registered members. Others are active sympathizers. One wing of the organization is against Catholics, Jews and Negroes, but favor white supremacy. Another wing is against the non-Protestant Jews, Catholics, who acknowledge political obedience to the Pope of Rome, and Negroes, and of course, favor white supremacy. The latter wing was formed about eighteen months ago. It is therefore apparent that the great objective is white supremacy. And some foolish Negroes, instead of getting together and devising means to preserve their own race, waste energy fighting white men, who declare that at the sacrifice of every other race on earth the white race must live. We do not for one moment condone outrages perpetrated on our people, whether by Jew, Catholic or Klan. We strongly denounce injustice and wrong committed on our weak, unprotected race, but we do feel that if some thoughtless Negroes would organize as the Universal Negro Improvement Association to better the economic and political status of the race (not merely Negroes of one particular country), then the Klan and other similar organizations organized in the interest of the white race would not have the opportunity of trampling and ill-treating this political and economic beggar race of which 400,000,000 Negroes are members, but would be compelled to reckon with an economically independent race, protected and sustained with strong Negro nations. Two days ago 15,000 white people gathered at Fairfield, Illinois, to participate in the Ku Klux Klan festivities in honor of Manny Steiner, local Jewish merchant, on the latter's fiftieth business anniversary. The Rev. H. G. Markley, pastor of the Presbyterian Church, and secretary of the local Klansmen, made the principal address. This and similar incidents occurring lately ought to make Negroes more thoughtful, and especially those who boast of the "toga of leadership" in communities, cities and States. The yellow man in his usual silent, systematic manner is bent on preserving the yellow race. His methods differ to the white man's, but the ends to be attained are identical. Mr. black man "get busy," and black women, we appeal to you, get behind your men and keep them moving on the road to progress and nationhood. It is a question of the survival of the fittest and 400,000,000 black men and women cannot and must not perish in the struggle for existence on this great globe. His Motto Is: To Escape Criticism, Say Nothing, Do Nothing, Be Nothing I know a man who is doing more to retard human progress than any anarchist, syndicalist, black-hander or gunman. He is more dangerous to society than any safe-blower, bomb-thrower or second-story man. Compared with him a professional assassin is a person of the most modest criminal accomplishments. And yet this knave of whom I speak considers himself an eminently respectable and desirable citizen. Mr. Goodenough is satisfied with himself as well as with everything about him. Mr. Goodenough stands pat. He lets well enough alone. What was good *16aDayandFreeAuto Amazing Plan Our writing gin makes easy to get your ideas in history in every home.

Write GENUINE HIGH QUALITY SLENDERSTYLE ALL WOOL VELOUR TRIMMED COAT DRESS for $3.98 only enough for his ancestors is good enough for him. He squats corpulently in the path of civilization. Those who would move on must climb over his gourty form. His delight is to damp young enthusiasm, curb rising ambitions, burden the eager shoulders of the future with the dead body of the past. From the crown of his hat to the sole of his shoe he is saturated with that dubious virtue, content. His whole person breathes a mighty self-satisfaction. Of him it is written: "When a man gets perfectly contented he and a clam are first cousin." It was that sage humorist, Josh Billings, who said, "What we want is folks who won't be contented, who can't be contented, who get up in the morning not simply to have their beds made, but for the sake of getting tired." In church Mr. Goodenough clings to the ecclesiastical traditions of the "good old days." In politics he says: "Don't fool with those new-fangled machinations of the devil—referendum, initiative, recall, direct primaries, commission government. Fads, unconstitutional fads! The government that suited Washington, Jefferson and Lincoln is good. enough for me!" In social relations he complains: "Why all this furor about child labor, white slavery, immigration, low wages, congestion and tenements? Has not the Lord said. The poor ye have always with you?" "Ah, my friend," wags on Mr. Goodenough, "let us not tamper with the Div' plan! Browning was not mistaken when he wrote: 'God's in His heaven, all's right with the world!'" Thus, with specious arguments, Mr. Goodenough makes the eager ones feel guilty and ashamed of their eagerness. The influence of the wildest radical is less to be feared than that of the man who is satisfied. The radical is a spur in the flank. The satisfied man is a chloroform-smoked rag over the racer's nose. Humanity would not go fast or far if we were all to adopt the motto: "To escape criticism, say nothing, do nothing, be nothing." Freakish: Modes Worn LONDON. — Human hair is being used here by some women to decorate their coat collars, cuffs, and even their blouses. One woman seen in Piceadilly wore a long black coat with the edges of the collar trimmed with auburn hair. The cuffs were similarly adorned, while more human hair hung from the edge of the frost of her cream-colored blouse. Monkey fur, which has been the rage for a time, has apparently found a rival among those whose tresses have been bobbed or shinned. THE NEGRO WORLD, SAFURDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1994 SHOULD MARRIED MEN, LIKE WOMEN, WEAR WEDDING RINGS? Question Discussed Interestingly by Single and Married Women of Our Group-The Psychological Effect of a Symbol as Noted Today The wearing of a plain gold band on the third finger of the left hand by a woman in all countries of the Western world is an indication that she is married. In some countries of the East bracelets, throatlets, nose rings and anklets are worn as a symbol of matrimonial bondage. Men have always been allowed to roam at will without any outward and visible sign of their matrimonial obligations. Now that women are demanding equal freedom with men, the question arises, on the one hand, should women wear wedding rings? And, if the men require such a custom, why shouldn't they also adopt it? Within a few years women have become fastidious in the matter of wedding rings. Quite a number of them in the United States have changed the plain gold band for white gold or platinum, studded with diamonds. And now comes the question, "Why shouldn't married men wear wedding rings?" We hardly believe that married men could be made to wear wedding rings. If it became a fashion, or merely a fad, they would be slow to adopt it. Most men, unlike women, ignore fads and fashions. The men themselves would not introduce the placing of a ring on the groom's third finger as a part of the marriage ceremony, and if women agitated for it they would fight atenuously and oppose such an innovation. If such a custom could be successfully introduced it would help to alleviate the disgusting flirtations carried on by married men, who prey on the frailties of young and inexperienced minds; and, for that matter, even mature, women are trapped by married men, who declare they are not married, in order to enjoy the company of single women. Men ought to wear wedding rings after marriage, and then women who flirt with them would do so knowingly and fully aware of their indiscretions. The following are the views of some of our readers: Married Lady Thinks It's Optional Whether a man should or should not wear a wedding ring should be, in my opinion, left entirely to his own discretion, to his own like or dislike. Like many of our customs today the wedding ring is a survival of primitive times, when a married woman wore a heavy band of iron, a symbol of bondage—a sign that she was her husband's property, his slave to do with as he pleased. Today the slender band of platinum of gold which graces the finger of a married woman is an emblem of faithfulness and of purity of love. It is her protection from - the undesirable advances of other men with whom she may come in contact; it is her outward acknowledgement to the world that she has given herself into the keeping of one man for eternity, and, since from time immemorial it has been woman's lot to "be sought" but never to "seek," the right-thinking man - the man, who would be truly faithful to his marriage vows, has little or no need for an outward and visible sign of his marriage, as he must at all times take the initiative. CARRIE LENEATTE (married) Single Man Says Yes The wedding ring is the outward symbol of a new and most intimate relationship between one man and one woman. It is in evidence to the world at large that each has taken up a serious obligation to go through life together, bearing and forbearing. That being true, it is only logical that both should wear wedding rings; not because the inner side of the respective obligations are overlooked, but rather as an evidence to whom if may concern that both are equally bound. In their respective spheres the home and industrial field both are in duty-bound to give their best efforts to their common welfare and to posterity. ENART JONES (single). Married Man Objects To begin with wedding rings are symbols of tenderness, devotion and fidelity—reminders of the pleasant past, the happy present, and the forecasters of a wonderful future whose holdings may disclose much by way of a great and noble love. The objects of such bestowals are rightly women, who need a pleasant reminder at all times of their duty. Besides the wearer of the ring very seldom has to rough it for an existence, and the ring can be worn without injury. The man has to provide for the household; and, as an earner of wages, he should not be bedecked with ornaments. The ring says to the world "know me as an obligated being." This is fine for women, but undiplomatic and foolish for men because some men lose at once their usefulness, when it is heralded ahead of their appearance that they are married. It's best to reveal this condition and not advertise it by the ring as it should be done by the woman. GEORGE HARVEY (married). I must admit I do not think it necessary for either man or woman to wear a wedding ring, as this is no protection against some types of adornment. The wearing of a ring seems to matter very little to elite, man or woman who is determined to break their respective marital vows. The best way for a wife to show the world her husband is a married man is to be so active and play such a part in his affairs and life that the world will know of him as a husband. Give him no opportunity to be without a booster, and in need of companionship, and he will realize that it would be high, folly to break his marital vows. OLIVIA WHITEMAN (single). REMARKABLE EXAMPLE OF SURGERY Heart on Wrong Side, Put Into Position PHILADELPHIA.—Her heart pushed nearly over to the right side, and her left lung crumpled below the shoulder. Miss Hazel Richardson, twenty-six years old, of Washington, went to the Philadelphia General Hospital three months ago to die. Recently Miss Richardson walked out of the hospital with heart and lung in their normal positions. If she will not exert herself she may live for many years, physicians say. Air escaping through a puncture in the left lung filled the area about the heart. It pushed the cardiac organ down and toward the right side, until it finally attained a position behind the eighth rib. Water also pressed against her heart. Both water and air were drawn off through a small tube inserted through the left side. The pressure relieved, the heart returned to its normal position, and the lung, with the puncture blocked, slowly expanded. Through the lung's deflation the hole in the pulmonary organ probably was permitted to heal by nature's process, it is believed. WIFE REFUSES TO ADOPT HUSBAND'S NAME Federal Government Rules Otherwise WASHINGTON.—decision was rendered today by the Controller-General to the Secretary of the Interior, that a woman employee of the Federal Government, who wishes to be carried on the governments payroll, must adopt her husbands surname and cannot enroll under her maiden name. In this ruling the Controller-General quotes various marriage laws of the country, and then states his view of the situation capably: "The law of this country that the wife takes the surname of the husband, is as well settled as that the domicile of the wife merges in the domicile of the husband, the ruling reads. "A wife might reside apart from her husband, but as long as she remains his lawful wife she has but one legal domicile and that in the domicile of her husband. "So it is, with the name. She may have an assumed name, but she has but one legal name." The question was raised by a woman employee of the St. Elizabeths Hospital, who married in May. She has refused to accept checks made out in her married name. Bank Run by Women Is Organized in China WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.—A bank completely staffed and financed by women to promote employment of Chinese women and to encourage them in saving has been organized by prominent Chinese women of Shanghai. John H. Nelson, assistant trade commissioner at Shanghai, in a report to the Department of Commerce today, said the bank, in addition to its other business, would carry on activities similar to those of the American pawnbuyer, as it is a common practice for Chinese women, to pawn their jewelry when in need of money. Women employees of the bank are being sent to a bank training school. Welcome, Stranger! A little stranger arrived at the home of Hon. and Mrs. William Sherrill, of Bayonne, N. J.

Naming the Baby Many ministers could, from personal experience tell of strange names bestowed upon infants at their baptism, but few could equal the following story recently told by the Blashop of Sodor and Man. A mother, who was on the lookout for a good name for her child, saw on half of the door of a building the word "Nosmo." It attracted her and she decided that she would adopt it. Some time later, passing the same building, she saw the name "King" on the other half. She thought the two would sound well together, and so the boy was baptized "Nosmo King Smith." On her way home from the church, where the baptism had taken place, she passed the building again. The two halves of the door, on which she had seen the names were now closed, and what she read was not "Nosmo King," but "No Smoking." —"West End News." STRANGE POWER!

Il était beau et reconfortant d'entendre les délégués et les députés qui je térént dans le débat, toute la ferveur de leur âme. Nous avons pu atteindre cette solution et l'apporter à votre connaissance, une somme illimité de possibilités söffre à nous, comme peuple industriel. Tout ce qu'il est nécessaire d'exiger de notre part, spécialement en Amérique, c'est de mobiliser nos moyens financiers par l'entrise de l'Association Universelle pour l'Avancement de la Race Nègre, et d'exploiter au profit de notre Race les richesses encore intactes des Antilles, de l'Amérique du Sud, de l'Amérique Centrale, et de l'Afrique. Grâce à ces richesses, nous serons aptes, en peu de temps, de constituer une race si industriellement et si commercialement solide que nous drainerons. À nous tout ce que nous convoitons et réelmons vainement pour l'instant sans espoir de les atteindre si ce n'est par la démonstration de notre propre puissance, et la manifestation efficace de nos propres energies. Dans les débats, on insista sur la nécessité d'avoir une marine marchande, et nous sommes heureux d'annoncer cette semaine, que nous avons acquis le premier navire de la Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company, le steamer "General G. W. Goethals", d'environ 5,000 tonnes pour le service des passagers et des marchandises. Le premier paiement a été fait et nous avons besoin actuellement de verser $70,000 avant de rentrer, complètement en possession de ce navire. Cet argent doit être recueilli au plus tôt, et je profite de l'occasion de faire un pressant appel aux membres et aux amis les plus zélés de la Universal Negro Improvement Association. Ils doivent envoyer leurs souscriptions à la Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company. Le temps presse, ne remettens pas à denain. Si nous voulons être les possesseurs définitifs de ce bateau, nous devons en obtenir immédiatement le montant du prix. Souscrivez $50, $100, $200, $300, $400, $500 or $1,000 à la corporation. Souscrivez des obligations de cinq ou de dix ans, à 5% d'intérêt. Si vous versez immédiatement les $70,000 de manière à nous permettre d'atteindre nos dettes, il vous sera loisible de les placer ensuite dans d'autres opérations, et d'activer les entreprises de la société. Aidez-nous. Mesdames et Messieurs, afin de nous permettre de libérer commercialement et industriellement la Race. Il y a des containes de chargements qui attendent en Afrique, dans les Antilles anglaises, le Sud et le centre de l'Amérique qu'il faut importer aux Etats-Unis. Des millions sont à gagner pour la Race en envoyant des matières premières d'une paie du monde à l'autre et repandre des manufacturiers. Nous voulons que l'Association Universelle, en peu de temps, soit en mesure d'employer utilement les millions de notre peuple en Amérique, aux Antilles, et en Afrique, et par la lui gagner l'indépendance industrielle. Ceci ne manquera pas d'arriver si vous nous aider à acheter plus de bateaux. Faites qu'à la fin de l'année nous puissions avoir un autre bateau, et durant l'année 1925, nous devons faire l'acquisition d'au moins quatre bateaux en accroissement de la Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company, et certes, quand de temps viendra, le Noir en Amérique, aux Antilles et en Afrique n'aura plus le droit de redouter l'aventier et ne dépendra plus de la bonne volonté d'autrui pour son existence, mais nous serons aptés à fonder nous-mêmes nos firmes industriels et nous trouverons des emplois aux millions d'hommes qui relèvent de notre Race. Prétez-vous quelquefois l'Oreille à ce que certaines critiques congières, disent dans leurs journaux et dans leurs tribunes où il péroient, l'as un ne peut vous tendre un morceau de pain. Ils n'ont pas d'emplois à vous donner. Ils grugent le peuple: L'Association Universelle pour l'Avancement de la Race. Noire cherche à vous assurer le pain quotidien, à vous donner des emplois. Nous autres, nous pouvons provoquer en peu de temps, comme il est dit plus haut, un mouvement mondial formidable, capable de realiser tous les voeux de notre Race dans la voie de la liberté, du progrès et de l'indépendance. Les mauvais bergers de notre Race n'ont prévenir dans tous les sentiers. Ils ont essaye de déjouer notre plan de colonisation africaine, mais leurs ruses ne prévaudront pas contre nous. Notre programme est trop grand et trop large pour se permettre les petites combinaisons et subir les conséquences des petites intrigues. Donnez-nous l'occasion et nous avons la certitude de monter en peu de temps combien notre organisation est forte et combien, négligeable est leur opposition. Les noirs se suicident eux-mêmes et ne le savant pas. Les traitres seront denoncés dans l'histoire pour'avoir voulu barrer la route à notre Race et enrayer le progrès. Les vieux leaders de notre Race sont murs pour la retraite. Pour un peu d'or, ils vendront leur mère, leur famille, leur Race, leur pays et leur Dieu. Il faut leur déloger, il faut les chasser des tribunes qu'ils occupent, pour les jeter, comme de vils rebuts à la gèle réservée à ceux qui ont trahi leur Race. Ils ont conspiré pendant des années pour voler, piller, détrouvrir nos congenères. Ils se servent de leur instruction pour abrutir le peuple. Cest parce qu'ils haissent les paulitaires, ils redoutent leur ascension, ils tentent de contre-carrer nos projets. Mais nous saurons les faire plier et les containdre à se mettre à génoux pour mendier leur pain. Ne les tolerez pas. Obligez les à travailler. Au lieu de souffrir ces frelons qui vivent à nos-despens, chasse-les. Ils nous traitent de vulgaires, d'illettres, de demagogues. Voyons s'ils sauront vivre sans nous. Voyons si leurs livres et Neurs philosophies sauront les nourrir. Ils sont incapables de faire un travail manuel, mais ils veulent exploiter les vulgaires. Grâce à Dieu nous trouveront notre salut dans notre multitude et dans la foule qui afflue chaque jour à l'Association Universelle pour l'Avancement de la Race Noire. Le problème de la Race Noire sera résolu lorsque vous aurez rejeté sans pitie ces mauvais bergers qui nous maintiennet dans la servitude et vous conduisent à la mort. J'ai l'honneur d'être. Vo Votre dévoié serviteur. MARCUS GARVEY. FRENCH SECTION Recrudencece de la Campagne de monsenges contre Haiti dan la Presse Américaine (Le Courier Haitien.) De la masse de coupes de journau que nous avons recues des Etats-Unis, nous. avons eu la peine de constater comment la campagne de mensonges et de perfidies y a recommence de plus belle contre Haiti. Ceci est entrepris dans le but de contrecarrer l'activité des Noirs Américains enore faveur, activité que coincide heureusement avec la campagne électoral et présidentielle la-bas. * Il s'agit aussi et surtout de détruire la bonne impression et le mouvement de sympathie nés de la Conference de Lyon et des succes des Haitiens aux jeux olympiques. La presse américaine se donne pour tache de rapporter les succes desgendarmes haitiens et de nos sportmen à l'Occupation et aux marines dont l'oeuvre d'education en Haiti n'a jamais eu d'arnirie que sur le papier et ce que nous appellions des soldats ne savaient pas tenir un fusil et tirer, en. Quant au sport nous ne nous en douions même pas avant que les "Marines" se fussent mis à nous le révéler par des exercices au Champ de Mars. Et, partant de la, c'est le tableau fantaisiste et cruel du passé d'Haiti avant l'Occupation, tableau suivi de louanges et d'eloges pour l'oeuvre de civilisation accomplie en Haiti par "Our boys" les marines. Nous nous empressons de signaler cet état de choses au pays, afin qu'il se rappelle la nécessité où il se trouve place de faire partir aux Etats-Unis une mission ou même un missionnaire qui aille y faire une campagne de propagande et détruire toutes les allegations mensongères est calomnicues qui se donnent cours la-bas. Qu'on se rappelle comment le mémoire de la delégation de l'Union, Patriotique au stopper dans le temps les mensonges américains à propos du massacre des cacos et de leurs familles. Que le haïtien tealise donc un effort pécuniaire pour le départ, au plus toit, d'une mission Haitienne quiira faire de la bonne propagande aux Etats-Unis et imposer silence à la calomnie. L'Union Patriotique d'Haiti M: Cassiani Jean a convoyé pour la première fois depuis le départ du Dr. Leonce Belfong les membres de l'Union Patriotique de New-York. Au cours de cette réunion il a mis les haitiens au courant des renseignements précis qu'il a recus sur l'emprisonnement du Grand Martyr Jolibois. Les haitiens en général aiment M. Jolibois car si le peuple d'Haiti doit choisir un saint, s'il doit venerer un homme de nos jours, cet homme doit M. Joseph Jolibois fills. Un homme qui a passé tout son temps en prison, qui a été battu, maltraité pour l'amour de son pays et qui est toujours pret à s'offrir en holocauste pour sa race, qui ne hait personne, mais qui combat pour le droit, pour la justice, voilà ce qu'on appelle un grand honneur. Après avoir bien expliqué la triste situation où se trouve notre chère Haiti, il fit appel à leur patrotisme, a leug bonne foi pour l'aider à rejour un argent pour envoyer à Port-au-Prince pour la caution demande pour la mise en libéte de M. Jolibois et pour l'envoi d'une délegation du Sénat haitien à Washington. C'est alors que quelques-uns d'entre eux se levèrent apporter leur obole à la souscription; Puis M. Cassiani Jean a fait voir à l'Union la nécessité d'envoiver un délegué to the Fourth Annual International Convention of the Negro Peoples of the World. Il a presenté le Rev. Theodore Stephen, qui a été agréé à l'unanimité. Le Rev. Theodore Stéphen, a-t-il ajouté, est un de ceux qui s'intéressent des affaires d'Haiti. Depuis son séjour ici il a donné plusieurs meetings oui il a expliqué dans quelle situation se trouve aujourd'hui la patrie du premier des noirs. Et tout à tour MM. Ernest Guillaume, Joseph Mirault et le Rev Théodore Stéphen ont parlé du devoir des citoyens envers leur patrie. Le président, M. Cassiani Jean, a rappelé l'exemple des 300 Spartiates qui préférent mourir avec leur Roi Lionidas pour l'honneur de leur pays. Je ne vous demande pas votre queant à présent, dit-il, mais bien votre concours financier pour nous aider à poursuivre une si belle oeuvre. Ce fut une belle sécance d'ou chacun sortit reconforté.

Monsieur Marceau Dupont donna lecture d'un projet de statuts qu'il soutrait à l'approbation de l'assistance. Il a été décidé de reserver la discussion et l'adoption du projet à une sécance qui sera ultérieurement fixée. Ensuite on passa à l'élection d'un comité provisoire.

Nous lui assurons tout notre concours expériment que ceux qui en auront la direction définitive sauront donner et demander à la faio. Un petit Paye avec une Histoire intérissante L'histoire d'Halti ne cède en rien à celui des peuples libres. Nous nous souvenons avec orgueil et une noble fierté que ce pays a produit le plus généreux et les plus intégre des guerriers des temps modernes, Toussaint l'Ouverture; qu'il est la patrie des Oge, Chavannes, Jean Jacques Dessalines, Henri Christophe, Boisrond Tonnere, et qu'il le lévent-dard de la révolte au Vénezuela 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 célébrité avec les auteurs français. Un peuple qui témoiné un tel rafinement dans la culture qui a prouvé dans le passé son anour 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 inscriptible et subir la domination étrangère quels qu'en soient les mobiles. Ce n'est pas seulement la conscience universelle qui doit se soulie, mais c'est la Société des Nations qui devrait adresser une soinnelle protésation pour la violation du territoire d'un de ses membres et la subordination d'un peuple dont ils doivent garantir l'autonomie les clauses essentielles de leurs status. Comme je le mentionnait au début de mon discours, Hati qui a combattu aux côtes de Washington de Lafayette, à Savannah, ne mérite pas d'asserivi par le pays à l'Indépendance duquel elle a contribué par son courage indomptable et en versant générusement de son sang. Le peuple veut être libre du joug de cet esclavisme américain, de cette conquête imperialiste de Willem Hati. Hati-plaide avec le grande nation américaine au nom de 500 battiens qui, à Savannah, Ga., cote-a-côte avec Washington, Lafayette, etc., prient part à la guerre de l'Indépendance américaine au nom des immortels auxeux, elle demande que son autonome lui soit rendue sa place à la Société des Nations exigie qui le soit complètement libre, des destinés comme pays indépendant et soverraient sont les garanties de sa liberté nationale. Nous demandons au people amiti- rican, d'envoyer une commission d'enquête mixte pour étudier la situ- ation en Haiti, et soyez sure que les mandataires retiennent avec le verdict que Haiti est capable de "self- government", qu'il le retrait de Foc- cuasion est la base une qua non de Foulevision du pays et L'ancesture du people haitien, qu'Haiti peut, sans aucune ugegence et angue- dreux, ses propres désirés et mener à bonne guise la barque nati- ionale. L'occupation américaine est fondant en Haute-Pas-de-Calais et est republique occidental à diriger ses affaires, enmarer les révolutions, et diriger ses batailles dans la voie du progrès. À de la haute civilisation des procépses, malheureusement sont restes à l'état de lettre morte. Le peuple chiffre, le peuple cue, le peuple demande le retrait de l'occupation americaine. Au nom de l'U.S.A. Dattatique ne re presents, par l'orgue de la Universal Negro Improvement Association la demande poste et qu'il table du peuple Hauten à la conscience publique de cette grande nation qui mène la civilisation du monde d'intervenir dans la situation haitienne, afin que justice soit donnee à ce brave peuple qui s'est atrime en dépit de Napoléon Bonaparte et son armée. La démolition du Pouvoir Judiciaire (Le Courrier Haitien) Comme on devait s'y attendre, le Conseil d'Etat a vote hier d'urgence le fameux décret. qui met un à l'inahovilhôtel des Juges. C'est un nouveau pétunement de la Constitution par M. Borno, apuve de la banonette américaine, laquelle est en Haiti, du-on, pour nous apprendre le gouvernement democratique. "C'était le seul Pouvoir Public Haitien où jusqu'à la hache de démolition n'avait encore été mise en oeuvre. On avait cru que la Justice aurait été respectée de ceux qui, tout en se disant Haitiens, se donnent pour tache de détruire au profit du blanc, leur matre. L'oeuvre conquisse par les négres, leurs aieux, au prix de leur sang. Mais il y a, de par l'humanité, des spécimens d'hommes qui en constituent le fleau pourvu que, comme en Haiti, ils parviennent à faire influence. Mais pour si alarmant que paraisse leur activité, celle-ci est nécessaire, parce qu'elle stimule la réaction des éléments constitutifs de vie et de santé de l'organisme infecté. En attendant l'henne de cette réaction Salvatrice, disons, à M. Borno que c'est lui et les siens qui passent et meurent dans de pareils gests, dandis que la Nation Haitienne, elle, vivra mâgé sea coups. Notre Médium a pu jeter un coup d'oeil sur le projet que les Comités saires Dominicans ont remis au Gouvernement Haitien, mais malheureusement il n'a pas pu tout voir. Le peu qu'il a lu, lui a fait entrer voir quelques petits pièges, dans les quels le Gouvernement, nous voulots bien le croire, ne se laissera pas prendre. Le projet Dominicain attaque la validité de tous les traités et de toutes les Conventions que les deux Républiques ont signé. Il existe un seul instrument diplomatique que les deux nations n'ont pas signé, et pour cause: c'est le Traité d'Arranjuez de 1777, et ce serait alors ce traité seul qui restaert debout. C'est donc une façon très habile de laisser le Traité d'Arranjuez intact. Le projet Dominicain parle de réclamations sur lesquelles l'Arbitre aura a se décider. Mais il n'est pas spécifié quelles sortes de réclamations. Les Dominicains avaient dans le temps la pretention de réclamer d'Haiti quelques millions de pesetas, en remboursement de ce qu'ils ont en remboursement de ce l'indépendance d'Haiti, c'est à dire l'indemnité de 150 millions payée à la France. Tout ce constituit des pentes dangeruses, et mérite absolument des precisions. Puisqu'il est question d'étudier la validité ou l'invalidité de traités et conventions, l'Arbitre à choisir doit être un Juriste. Le Pape is Docteur infailible en Théologie, mais pas en Droit. S'il était question de tout autre chose que la validité ou l'invalidité de traités et conventions, le Pape dans sa bonte paternelle serait en effet l'Arbitre désirable, mais il existe des points de droit trop importants, pour ne pas s'adresser à un Grand Juriste. Une Presse indigne a fait passer le Peuple Haitien devant la chrétiennette, pour une bande de caninibales, fervents du vaudou, adorateurs de serpents, sauvages, barbaires, méritant l'évangélisation de voixins chrétiens. Ne serons nous pas en état d'inferiorité devant le Saint Père, trainant aux, pièls une parcelle renominee. Cest la question que le Peuple d'Haiti pos au Government. Il est si facile d'aller à la Have, devant la Société des Nations, deant des juristes neutres de renominee universelle. Pourquoi alors ne pas aguer aussi? LA PATRIE Par PAUL LOCHARD Dans le Courrier Heitien Rien n'est plus grand, rien n'est plus profond, sous l'azur que la chose qui porte ce doux nom: Patrie Elle nous impose le sacrifice de tous nos intérêts particuliers, de tous nos sentiments personnels. Elle veut que nous ne savions qu'un dans son service, et l'azur qu'elle inspire enleave tout l'unifié du coeur. C'est elle qui, en depit des misÈles dont il peut être le théâtre, par le charme pussant, indefectible et mystérieux qu'elle y attaché, rend sacre le sol natal. Ecoutez, je vous prie l'homme patrie et le sol, de la patrie ne qu'un Ainsi pour la honneur, est Thoumeur de la patrie, notre honne a honneur, notre glorie, sa glorie. Nous sommes donc tenus de nous veuir de dignite pour qu'elle soit digne, de grandeur, pour qu'elle grandisse et accomplisse ses destinées.

B. 203. Administration et redaction 322 Rue du Mexique, 322 Port-au-Prince, Haiti the speaker said, I reply to a question, that he did not like the provision it stood. He lied to give a man a hair trial, but, at the same time, there had been occasions when he found that members of the executive did not, in smaller matters, act as they should to the best interests of the association, although his remarks did not apply to the present executive. Eventually the following amendments were passed: Dec. 1946: The President-General shall have authority to dismiss peremptorily any officer or official of the High Executive Council for disloyalty, inefficiency for insubordination, and such officer or officials' salary shall cease so from the day of dismissal. (b) The President-General shall have authority to fill the vacancy of all elected officers thus made until the next convention by appointment. (c) Before an elected officer is dismissed by the President-General and administrator, he shall first be given a bedding before the Privy Council of the organisation and, if found guilty of the charges, laid against him, he dealt with according to section "h" of this article. In the event of the accused being one or more members of the Privy Council, the President-General shall have power to appoint temporarily such other person or persons as he may desire. (d) The Privy Council shall consist of the administrator and three loyal bona fide members of the U.N.I.A on members of the High Executive Council, to be appointed by the administrator. The convention then adjourned until the event. TUESDAY EVENING. AUGUST 26 Tonight's session, which commenced at 9 o'clock, was devoted entirely to discussion on the amendments to the constitution. Hon. Marcus Garvey, presiding as Speaker in Convention, announced that the convention would deal with that part of the constitution relating to the duties of officers. In this connection he drew attention to the fact that under the constitution as it existed there were some officers whose offices were not placed under any direct control. Because of that fact the association had lost suits in court brought by the last Speaker in Convention and the last Surgeon General. In those cases the court after reading the constitution ruled that there was no specific reference as to what these officers should do and under whose instructions they should be. They were therefore privileged to know what will be. In the case of the Speaker in Convention there was no provision as to what he should do except to receive amendments to the constitution during the rising of the convention, for which he was to receive $3,000 a year. He thought, therefore, it was necessary to amend the constitution in order to make these officers come under proper jurisdiction. Another point was in reference to the office of First Assistant President General. He thought they should insist that the First Assistant President General be a competent business man and one of pronounced ability. The organization had been criticized for its business methods yet at the same time it was a fact that of all the organizations, business institutions and corporations started in the last four years the Universal Negro Improvement Association was the only one surviving. He suggested that the following addition, be made to the section dealing with the First Assistant President General; "That he shall be a competent business man who shall by his experience and ability he able to constitute himself an asset to the organization; he shall be at his post of duty at all times and shall not be allowed to devote his time or service with any other organization or habitation, but shall give his entire time to carrying out the orders given him for the good of the association." The suggestion was embodied in a motion and moved by Hon. Wm. Sherrill, seconded by Hon. Mr. Johnson of Detroit. It was carried without dissent. To carry out the suggestion of the President General in regard to placing jurisdiction or supervision over the other executive officers. Hon. Mr. Creagen of Detroit moved the adoption of the following clause as touching the First Assistant President General: "He shall be under the jurisdiction and supervision of the President General, who shall assign him his respective duties, and the failure of this officer, to obey his command shall be considered as an act of inauhordation and shall be dealt with as specified in Article 4. Section 14, a, b and c of the constitution." Hon. Mr. Cipriani seconded the motion and a longthy discussion ensued thereon... It was the opinion of some of the delegates that the duties of the First Assistant President General should be specifically designated and, to that end, Hon. Dr. J. J. Peters moved the adoption of the following clause: The First Assistant President General shall supervise all industrial and commercial enterprises owned and con- firmed by the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League and shall perform each other duties that may be assigned to him by the Administra- or President General. The convention passed by a vote of 84 to 10 the motion of Hon. Mr. Crepeau, but defeated the motion of Dr. Crepeau by a vote of 22 to 30. President-General each and every day. The motion was seconded by Hon. Mr. William, of Hamtramck, Mich., but was subsequently tabled on motion of Hon. Mr. Martin, St. Louis, seconded by Hon. P. Johnson, of Detroit. The duties of the Second, Third and Fourth Assistant. President-Generals were then taken up. The Speaker suggested the following addition to the sections governing their duties: "They shall likewise perform those duties that are assigned to them by the President-General, and shall perform them with skill and ability. They shall be found at their post of duty at all times; and shall not be allowed to devote their time with any other organization or institution, but shall give their entire time for the good of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, or in carrying out the order of the association." The amendment was adopted on motion of Hon. F. Johnson, of Detroit, seconded by Hon. F. L. Martin, St. Louis. Assistant President-General shall perform the duties of said office, and shall be held responsible by the President-General, and in his absence the Third and Fourth Assistant President-General shall, respectively; he held responsible. The offices of Secretary-General and High Commissioner were then considered. On motion of Hon. S. V. Robertson, of Mississippi, seconded by Hon. J. A. Hassell, Seattle, the following addition was adopted to Article 5. section 16: "And he shall carry, out and perform those duties that are assigned to him by the President-General and Administrator to whom he shall be held responsible in office. That he shall see to it that all divisions, branches and chapters shall keep financial to the parent body." The following addition to all sections regarding the duties of officers was adopted on the motion of Hon. F. Johnson, Detroit, seconded by Hon. Mr. Welch, Detroit. "And he shall work under the direction of the President, General and administrator." The convention then adorned till 10 a.m. next day. The convention was called to order at 10 o'clock, the speaker, Hon. Marcus Garvey, in the chair. After prayers, the speaker announced the death, which took place suddenly on the 19th inst., of Chief Justice J. J. Dossen, of Liberia, Mr. Dossen, he said, had been sponsoring the work of the association in the Cavalia Colony, and his demise was a severe blow to the associative. He suggested that the convention adjourn for five minutes as a token of esteem. The convention then adjourned for five minutes. On the motion of Hon. F. E. Johnson, Detroit, seconded by Lady Henrietta Vinton Davis. Hon. C. H. Bryant, Costa Rica, moved that expressions of sympathy and condolence he tendered to the relatives of the deceased through the deputy potentate in such manner as he may seem at. Hon. R. A. Martin, Cuba, seconded, and the motion was unanimously carried. At the suggestion of the speaker, Hon. R A Martin, Florida, Cuba, moved that a memorial meeting in honor of the deceased he combined with the proceedings at next Sunday afternoon' meeting at Carnegie Hall when the work of the convention will be reviewed. Hon. C. H Bryant, Costa Rica, seconded, and the motion was unanimously carried. The following communication from several lady delegates to the convention was then read by the secretary, and dealt with: Aug. 27, 1924. Honorable Speaker-In-Convention. Honorable Delegates and Deputies to This Fourth International Convention of Negroes of the World: In view of the fact that the women of the Universal Negro Improvement Association who possess moral integrity, ability and a burning desire to work at all times for the good of the U. N. I. A. and A. C. L. and being well known and respected in their various divisions are expressing to us through their lady presidents and delegates their desire to further benefit their a. society by a concerted effort among the other women of their various divisions: We, the ladies whose names are appended, offer for the consideration of this August body, at this time, the following: Be it resolved that: (a) The Ladies of the Royal Court of Ethiopia become an international auxiliary of the U. N. I. A. and be encouraged as such in its constitution. (b) Branches of the Ladies of the Royal Court of Ethiopia, to be known as the Daughters of Ethiopia, be established in each division. (c) That the president-general and high executive council recommend a continuance and expansion of the work heretofore done by the Ladies of the Royal Court of Ethiopia along the lines formerly pursued and along such other lines as they may deem useful to the body at large. After considerable discussion it was moved by Hon. Mrs. De Mena, Chicago, seconded by Hon. Mrs. Curry, Monongah, W. Va., and unanimously carried, that the Daughters of Ethiopia shall be the name of an auxiliary that shall be encouched in the Constitution of the Universal Negro Improvement Association by this convention. "Mon. Dr. J. J. Peters, Chicago, moved that a committee be appointed, with Lady Huiorietta Viston Davis as chairman, to draft rules and regulations for THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1994 tion was unanimously carried. The speaker then appointed the following committee: Laby Monticetta V. Davin, Sir William Sherrill, Mrs O'Brien, Montreal; Mimi Do Mena, Chicago; Hon. Mia. Sharperson Young, with the speaker as ex-officio chairman. Hon. J. A. Hassell as chairman then presented the report of the committee appointed to draft recommendations with a view to the encouragement of travel on the part of Negroes of the industrial and commercial professions. On motion of Hon. Bishop McQuire, seconded by Hon. J. B. Eaton, the report was adopted as read. Hon. Freeman L. Martin, St. Louis, moved that the secretary to the convention bring back to the convention four copies of all the amendments to the Constitution, one copy to be given to the President-General, one to the Secretary-General, one to the Chancellor and one for the press, so that a check could be kept on the faithful reproduction of these amendments when they were printed. Hon. C. H. Bryant, Costa Rica, seconded, and the motion was unanimously carried. The convention then proceeded to deal with the question of death grants. The discussion was initiated by Hon. W. A. Wallace, Chicago, who said that the time had come when the finances of the association must be conserved. Unpaid death claims had filled up, to the embarrassment of the parent body. He, therefore moved that no one shall receive the death benefit of $75 unless such individual producer a physician's certificate as to good health within thirty days after entering the association; and on failure by such individual to produce such a certificate the secretary shall not collect from him any further death tax. Hon. C. L. Logan, Atlanta, seconded, and the motion was carried. Hon. W. A. Wallace then introduced the following amendment: That no one over the age of sixty years at time of joining shall be entitled to the death grant. A lengthy discussion ensued, the convention adjourning with the matter undecided. WED. AFTERNOON, AUG.27 On Wednesday afternoon when the convention resumed, the Liberian situation was the subject for discussion. The Hon. Marcus Garvey had promised that the two surviving members of the delegation which had been sent to Liberia this year would give the convention a report of what had actually transpired in that country. He called upon Hon. J. Milton-Van Lowe to speak. Hon. Mr. Van Lowe spoke of the most cordial and enthusiastic manner in which they had been received in Liberia when they arrived there on Feb. 1, last, by all classes of the Liberians, from the highest official to the aboriginal natives. He gave in detail the interview the delegation had with President King, who not only gave them a most cordial welcome but who took an active part in discussing the plans of colonization and made many valuable suggestions, and eventually appointed an advisory committee of Liberians to confer with the delegation to make plans for the scheme as outlined by them and agreed to at the interview. On that committee, President King appointed Vice-President Wesley, of Liberia, Chief Justice Dossen, ex-Presidents Barley and Howard and others, including Mr. Dickson Brown, Commutroller of Liberia. Hon. Lady H. V. Davis, also a member of the delegation, endorsed all the remarks and statements as outlined by Mr. Van Lowe and emphasized that it was President King himself who named the localities which were most desirable to be settled and said that at her request he included another location. She said that everyone both America Liberians and aboriginal inhabitants including several chieftains expressed their pleasure at the coming of the immigrants, and on all sides the delegation was received with the greatest honor and kindness. She emphasized the fact that the motto of Liberia was "The love of Liberty brought us here," and said that that motto is engraved on her heart. It was said, she said, that the door of Liberty was closed against them, but such a thing cannot stand (series of no, no). "I for one will knock at that door of Liberty until I die, seeking for admission. It shall be opened, it must be opened," she said. Hon. Van Richard, of Liberia, in the course of remarks, pointed out the fact that the members of the delegation had confirmed much of what he had stated regarding the anxiety of the Liberians to welcome their brethren and the amiability and hospitality of the native Liberians. All the speakers paid a glowing tribute to the memory of the late Robert Poston, but more especially so to the late Chief Justice Dosen, of Liberia, who had been heart and soul in the movement for the colonization of Liberia by the U. N. I. A. When the report of the committee had been signed by all the parties, that noble negro said "The dawn of Liberia's glory, wealth and power has now come." Before the departure of the delegation, President King had said in effect, "I have implicit confidence in this delegation, now I am satisfied that you are determined." He also said, "you will find the Government of Liberia and the Liberians standing ready to co-operate with you." Letters and other documents bearing out some of the above assertions clearly demonstrating the whole hearted co-operation offered to the delegation officially and unofficially were read to the contention. Mon. Marcus Garvey in the course of his remarks made eloquent allusion to the strange somersault of the Liberian authorities. He ventured to suggest three possible reasons for the change of heart of President King and his President Barclay and others. One was the coercion of England and France to whom Liberia owed money; another was the recent acquisition of a concession of one million acres of hood which included some of the lands promised the settlers under the colonisation scheme to the Firestone Rubber and Tire Co. of Ohio, to exploit for rubber and mineral, and third, the wicked and lying propaganda, waged by Dr. DeBolon, even two years before, and continued by himself and other, Negroes here, in which was said among other things, that, the U. N. I. A. intended to seize Liberia and kill all the white people in Africa. He animented on the cowardice and lack of backbone of certain negroes which did not portend well for the race. He suggested that efforts be made to bring about a change of heart or to make the people known the real situation and concluding he said, "The gates of Liberia must remain open to members of the race. In the face of the present world sentiment England and France would not dare to do little Liberia anyfitting. If the little had stood by his race. England and France had shown the strength of the U. N. I. A. and their concern in the program of the 'organization, when they took such steps to keep the members of the organization from going to the land of their fathers, their own home Africa, from which they had been stolen 300 years ago. No Negro with any backbone would stand for such dictatorial and under the banner of the U. N. I. A. they were determined to leave no stone unturned to put over the program and combat the audacity and schemes of their opponents." Thursday Morning, August 28 The Convention was called to order at 11 o'clock, the Speaker, Hon. Marcus Garvey, in the chair. After prayers discussion of the Liberian situation was resumed. The Speaker reviewed the deliberation of the previous session. He then explained the origin of Liberia, showing that it was founded a little over a hundred years ago by the American Colonization Society as a habitat for free Negroes of America and of the Western world in general who desired to return to the homeland and reestablish themselves. At the present time Liberia was the "only so-called independent spot on the continent of Africa controlled by Negroes. It was only about the size of Ohio, and it was greatly to be deplored that the present Government of Liberia had so unthinkingly given away one million acres of land to the Firestone Company, in face of the fact that more than 115 million of the 12 million square miles of Africa were in the clutches of allen peoples. It would seem, he said, that to delar Negroes from Liberia was contrary to the constitution of Liberia. Giving up the kind to the Firestone Company was bringing to the natives the same treatment that Belgium meted out to them in the Congo and which was meted out in Peru. He was of the opinion that an appeal should be made to the conscience of white America and to Mr. Firestone asking that he retrain from taking advantage of the opportunity given him of standing in the way of the progress of a people. Hon. Milton Van Lowe, adding to his report, delivered the previous afternoon, as one of the delegation of three that visited Liberia last fall stated that the delegation, after the interview with President King, has actually leased a building from the President's steppe to be used as a commissary as suggested by the President's Committee. This was, undoubtedly, with the President's knowledge, and made his subsequent reported acts all the more inexcusable, indefensible and high-handed. He also showed how Dr. DuBois when visiting Liberia had influenced Mr. Solomon Porter Hood, American Consult at Monroeville, against the U. N. I. A. and, possibly, in favor of the Firestone Company. Hon. Freeman L. Martin, St. Louis, Mo. expressed his conviction that the efforts of the enemy to embarrass the Universal Negro Improvement Association would prove of no avail. Dr. DuFolius, he said, was not a leader; he was "just out in front," in the same way as a dog kept "out in front" of its master though dependent on him for direction as to the road he should take. The world had begun to know that the U. N. I. A. and Marcus Garvey in real earnest. The Liberian colonization plans and the struggle brought that home to them. Therefore opposition was to be expected. Hon. Dr. J. J. Peters, Chicago, said Negroes were in grim earnest today, and it was well that the world realized that they would allow nothing to stand in the way of their deliverance. At this stage the Speaker-counselled the delegates not to stray from the main point of the discussion, and, while naturally they felt aggrieved, they should be careful in their speech, and say nothing they did not mean or which would embarrass the organization. Hon. Prof D. H. Kyle, Clarksbursz, W. Va., thought the time had come when a rule should be made that no member of the Universal Negro Improvement Association could at the same time be a member of the N. A. A. C. P. Sir William Sherrill pointed out that after all those who were in control in Liberia were merely holding it in trust for the Negroes of the Western world, and he was confident that any effort on their part to violate that trust would surely lead to their downfall. The same America, which brought the little republic into being, would now see that the raison d'etre was not violated. Hon. F. E. Johnson, Detroit, next spoke, condemning the attitude of Negroes who sought to oppose the progress of the race, and moved the following motion: "In view of the fact that W. E. DuBois has continually attempted to obstruct the progress of the Universal Negro Improvement Association to the loss and detriment of the Negro race, and that he has on several occasions gone out of his way to try to deflate the cause of Africa's redemption, that he be proclaimed, as extracted from the Negro race as far as the Universal Negro Improvement Association be concerned, and from henceforth he re- Hon. S. A. Haynes, New York, acceded, and the motion was carried. The convention then adjourned until $ p. m. After prayers; the minutes of the previous session were read and confirmed. Hon. J. Craigen, Detroit, moved the following resolution: "Be it resolved: (1) That a petition be sent to the Firestone Rubber Company of Akron, Ohio, requesting them not to take advantage of the Negro peoples of the world in accepting the one million acres of land of the republic of. Liberla given to them by certain officials of that government, in that Negroes of this western hemisphere are devious of building up themselves, there economically', and otherwise and thus show to the world they are capable of doing for themselves what other races have been able to do for themselves. "(2) Therefore, that this matter of the Liberian colonization be left entirely in the hands of the Administrator, and that the Administration go forward diplomatically or in any way they may see fit to put the program over, remembering always that 400, 000 000. Negroes stand behind them for the perpetuation of this noble race." The Speaker then called upon the Secretary-General, Hon. G. E. Carter, to read certain paragraphs from the constitution of Liberia. The paragraphs were as follows. Section 12. No person shall be entitled to hold real estate in this republic unless he is a citizen of the same. Nevertheless this article shall not be construed to apply to colonization, missionary, education or other benevolent institutions, so long as the property or estate is applied to its legitimate purpose. Section 13. The great object of forming these colonies being to provide a home for the dispersed and oppressed children of Achela, and to regenerate and enlighten this benited continent, none but persons of color shall be admitted to citizenship in this republic. Section 14 The purchase of any land by any citizen or citizens from the aborigines of this country for his or her own use or for the benefit of others, as estate or estates, in fee simple, shall be considered null and void to all intents and purposes. Section 15 The improvement of the native tribes and their advancement in the art of agriculture and husbandry being a cherished object of this government, it shall be the duty of the president to appoint in each county some distinct person whose duty it shall be to make regular and periodical tours through the country for the purpose of calling the attention of the natives to those wholesome branches of industry and of instructing them in the same, and the legislature shall, as soon as it can conveniently be done, make provisions for these purposes by the appropriation of money. Section 16. The existing regulations of the American Colonization Society in the commonwealth, relative to immigrants, shall remain the same in the republic until regulated by compact between the society and the republic; nevertheless, the legislature shall make no law prohibiting emigration. And it shall be among the duties of the legislature to take measures to arrange the future relations between the American Colonization Society and this republic. Hon. Fred. A. Toote. Philadelphia, next speech. He read extracts from an address delivered by President King of Liberia in 1820, where, speaking on immigration to Liberia, he pointed the need for new blood from the Western world and stressed the desirability of adding to their population settlers from America who would help in building up the country. He also pointed out that as America thrived by having the open door so must Liberia prosper also. The action of the government of Liberia today, commented the speaker, seemed to be in strange contrast to those disa. Hon. J. B. Eaton, Hon. S. A. Haynes and Hon. C. H. Bryant, Costa Rica, also spoke, the last named moving the following motion, which was unanimously carried: That a protest be sent to the Liberian Senate against the attitude of the government in discriminating in its emigration policy, in violation of the spirit of the Constitution of the Republic. That a petition he sent to the Congress of Liberia asking it not to grant the concessions sought by the Firestone Rubber and Tar Company of Ohio, United States, as it is our belief that it would create a condition that would ultimately lead to the destruction of the autonomy of Liberia. That an appeal be sent to the people of Liberia protesting against the action of the government in preventing the Universal Negro Improvement Association from carrying out its program for the good of the people and the country. Hon. Bishop McGuire, New York, moved that the administration present a plan tomorrow to the Convention in regard to the situation. The motion was unanimously carried. THURSDAY EVENING, AUG. 28 The convention was called to order at $ p. m., the Speaker, the Hon. Marcus Garvey, in the chair. After prayers the minutes of the evening session were read and confirmed. The business before the house was amending the constitution. Hop. Precuman L. Martin introduced an amendment to section 71a, article 3, providing for a graduated scale of payment of death grants according to the length of membership. A lengthy discussion ceased and the amendments were rejected on being put to the vote.

The following resolution suggested by the Speaker was unanimously adopted by the house: "That on the death of each member of a local division an extra tax of 25 cents be levied on each member for the death grant of $75 and that the amount so collected in the local division shall constitute a part of the $75 to be paid by the parent body, and each division shall be taxed according to its last month's report for the return of 25 cents for each member in this local division; and in case it amounts to more than $75 the local division shall pay the death claim and the balance be added to its local treasury, and a report if same sent to the parent body." Hon. Mary Marsile, Chicago, introduced the following amendments under the heading of "Juveniles," which were unanimously carried. "All children from one to ten years of age may become members of the juvenile Department on payment of 25 cents entrance fee and 10 cents per month dues." This shall not entitle a member of the juvenile department to the $75 death grant. This sum shall only be issued to those from 10 years up paying the regular required dues of the association. A resolution introduced by Hon. Wilbur J. Roheger, Minister of Legions, providing for the creation of a speaking committee of five to broadcast the program of the U. N. J. A. was unanimously referred to the Education Department. The following motion amending by addition to Section 54, Article 5, made by Hon. S. A. Haynes, was unanimously carried: "And it shall be compulsory for large divisions, chapters and branches to purchase at least 100 copies and smaller divisions 50 copies of The Negro World weekly, discretionary power being vested in the administration. Hon. W. A. Wallace, Indiana, moved the following motion which was unanimously carried: "That wherever the words, 'Black Star Line' occur in the Constitution, the words 'Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company' shall be substituted." Hon. Col Wattley, New York: Introduced a resolution providing for the formation of a regiment to be known as the Universal African Royal Guard, to be stationed at the headquarters of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. A spirited discussion took place on this measure, which was ultimately tabled on the motion of Hon. Col Harrigan, by a vote of 67 to 5. The convention then adjourned 'FRIDAY MORNING, AUG. 29' The convention was called to order 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. W. A. Wallace, Illinois, moved that all financial transactions occurring between any division and any person visiting, that division collecting money therefrom shall be reported to the parent-body during the week of said visit or financial transactions, and this shall include officials from headquarters, visiting speakers, or any one receiving money from the division after addressing that division, also that report-blanks be made and sent to the local divisions and these report blanks be made out in triplicate, one to be sent to headquarters, one to be kept by the local and one to be given to the officer, and all to be sent by the person or persons receiving such moneys, such reports to be made daily at the close of each meeting. Hon. J. Craigen, Detroit, seconded, and the motion was unanimously carried. Hon. D. H. Kyle, Clarksburg, W. A. drew attention to the omission of the State of West Virginia in the list of districts in Sec. 56b, Art. III of the constitution and moved that District 3 be as follows: Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia and the District of Columbia. "The motion was unanimously carried. Hon. Mrs. Harvey, Dayton, O. moved: Whereas, at present the divisions have no local auditors, and in view of the fact that certain officers of divisions may handle the finance of such divisions to the detriment of its success: Do it Resolved, That each local division in the Universal Negro Improvement Association elect an auditor from its membership whose duties it shall be to audit the books of said divisions each and every month and file a copy of this report with the auditor-general of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and a copy of same with the local division, and that such report be forwarded with the monthly report of the secretary of said division. Hon. G. A. Weston, New York, seconded, and after some discussion the motion was carried, 61 for, 1 against. Hon. G. A. Weston, New York, then moved the following resolution: In view of the fact that there has been coming before the convention From year to year ever since our first convention complaints of men who have gotten into our organization as officials without character, and even community standing, and in many cases not even with the indorsement of their own divisions, and also causing men and women who have stood the test and paid the price, for the cause Afte to be looked upon as dishonest by the delegates attending conventions through the general statements made of crooked men. Therefore he it resolved. That all persons coming up for appointment and election shall before taking office get a two-thirds majority from his or her division that sent him or her to the convention as to his loyalty, honesty and character as well as his standing in the community, and should any charges be made against his or her honesty and loyalty as well as his character that an investigation be made by the President-General through a committee, and if found true the person he expelled if, not those who make the accusation he in turn expelled from the association. Hon. R. A. Martin, Florida, Cuba, seconded. After some discussion the motion was unanimously carried. Hon. Williams, Hamtramck, Mich. then introduced the following resolution: Be it resolved, That hereafter no financial member of the N. A. A. C. P. be accepted as a member of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and in the event of any person or persons joining the Universal Negro Im Every Man Who Has Lost the Vital Force of Youth May Be Restored Scientist Makes Wonderful Discovery—Says No Man' Under 100 Years Should Feel Old Hair Seed Magic Wonder Hair Grower provided Association are found to be financial members of the N. A. A. C. P. they shall be asked to belong membership in the N. A. A. C. P. and in the event of retrial by such person or persons to do so they shall be expelled indefinitely. After considerable discussion the motion was accepted as follows by the Hon. W. S. Vaughan, Youngstown, Ohio, and unanimously carried: That hereafter no officer of the N. A. A. C. P. shall be accepted as a member of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and in the event of any such person who may join the Universal Negro Improvement Association as an officer of the U.

P. they shall be asked to relinquish membership in the N. A. A. C. P. and upon refusing to do so shall be auspended. Hon. F. E. Johnson, Detroit, moved that the Universal Negro Political Union be instructed to carry out an intensive campaign in the interests of the civil, political, industrial and social rights of the Negroes of the United States of America, and shall see to the passage of such legislation as shall, at all times protect the rights of the race in the United States of America and its possessions. Hon. Williams, Hamtramck, seconded, and the motion was unanimously carried. The adjournmen was then taken. Friday Afternoon, August 28 The afternoon session began at 3 p.m. with the usual formities. Hon. Marcus Garvey presided. On the motion of Bishop McQuire, it was decided the legislative session be continued on Saturday morning in an effort to complete the work of the convention except the winding up meeting on Sunday afternoon. Hon. Marcus Garvey said his purpose was to report to them his plan for dealing with the Liberal situation. He pointed out, however, that it being a matter of diplomacy, he could not tell everything and they were to just wait and watch and exercise patience. Before going further, however, he referred to an editorial which appeared in the New York Evening Bulletin of that date, which, written by white men, clearly confirmed his suspicions and, the remarks he had made, and even went further. The editorial deserved their attention. It was as follows: 1. Liberia protests against Garvey to President Coolidge. 2. Harvey Firestone, a rubber tire king, goes to Plymouth with Edison and Henry Ford and plays a part in the "Old Sap Bucket" drama, enjoying the President's hospitality on the "Colonel" farm. 3. Liberia grants Harvey Firestone a control of 1,000,000 acres of land where crude is procurable. This land is the most valuable rub- A new discovery is said to have made up by a scientific study of Berkian mountain people who scientists say, live longer than the average adult. They should add many years to life of people in all parts of the world and quickly mature many strength, youthful vigour, grace and beauty lost by neglect or abuse. Scientists argue that the secret of health and vision lies in the ability of the brain to be stimulated and kept in normal activity, man might live longer and alliments such as debilitity yellow completion, loss of weight, poor memory, premature sensibility, arrowsy memory, metabolism, disordonty, etc., should disappear difficulty encountered by the medical world has been in and the right investigator successfully harmless, infeasible and can be ber-growing tectonic upliftage in the world; the British Empire controls greatly all the rest. Now, get the combination: Liberia and Firestone; Firestone and Coolidge. Perhaps the old map bucket is going to be used to carry crude rubber from Liberia to the United States. When Carray says there is something set in the state of Liberia you should not dismiss his allegations. People he knows what he is talking about. He thinks Liberia's rubber supply should belong to his race, not to Firestone. In there anything dangerous or menacing in that belief? In his suggestion, after descending on the efforts of Negroes to help the white man against Negroes, and after stating that they should have no fear of the future, he told the delegates when they returned to their divisions to advise the people not to lose hope. They were not to make any move before they got instructions from headquarters. Any one who desired to go to Liberia could do so individually at any time, because there was nothing to prevent them, but doing so would be playing into the hands of their enemy. They would rely on Liberia to stay quiet, without any protection, and would be at the mercy of those who did not mean them well. They would be liable to be fooled, robbed or inconvenienced. It was beast to so under the protection of the U. N. I. A. and he had no doubt that the matter would be settled satisfactorily according to the program of the association. In regard to his plans for dealing with the Liberian situation, he urged that their industrial program be pushed as seriously as possible and that they should concentrate on the shipping proposition; as that would enable them to establish immediate business relations between the United States, the West Indies, Central America and Africa. The business done And the presence of their ships in those places would considerably benefit the shipping industry and can be willing to ask them to come in. The Negroes would also be urged to furnish their own cargoes and to handle them on arrival here. At the conclusion, Hon. J. Craiglin of Detroit moved that the program as outlined be adopted. This was agreed to. The convention then went into ways and means of raising the required installations between September 1 and October 18, and it was decided that the members of the executive visit the various divisions and with the aid of the local-executives inaugurate a Black Cross drive and so raise the money. Quotas were decided upon for the various divisions. The President-General also again urged those who had taken out loans to complete their payments, and urged upon those who had not taken loans to do so. Some of the members urged taxation of individual members and the taking of donations from those who were not able to subscribe for large sums of gifts because it was decided that it was best to give the people something for their money rather than merely seeking gifts. Taxation would bring little result in the end. After attention to several matters of microcontroller the operating system FRIDAY BEGINNING, AUGUST 18, 1995 The Convention returned at 8 o'clock this evening. Both Marcia Garrys preaching as Speaker in Convention. After the usual preliminaries, the minutes of the meeting, and afternoon sessions were, read and on motion duly made and included, were adopted. The Guild announced as the order of the day the election of elective officers and appointing of appointee officers for the next four years administration of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. The elective positions he stated, were: President General and Administrator, First Assistant President General, Second Assistant President General, Third Assistant President General and Fourth Assistant President. General. The appointee positions were: Secretary General, Chancellor, Auditor, General Minister of Labor and Industry, General Minister of Agriculture. First Assistant Secretary General, Second Assistant Secretary General, Minister of Education, Chaplain General, Surgeon. General, Counsel General and International Organizer. He called attention to the fact that the Convention had decided at a previous session that the offices of Burgeon General, International Organizer, and Chaplain General would be honorary positions to be filled conveniently, and also that the positions of Minister of Education, and Counsel General should be filled conveniently. The position pointed out the importance of the organization and added that General and added that this position had remained vacant since 1922 because of the desire of the Administration not to place, there some one who do the organization more injury than good. He warned the Convention against electing to that office any other than a most thoroughly competent and experienced man, inasmuch as the organization had reached the stage where there was a great deal at stake in money and property, and where they could not afford to experiment as they did in 1920, 1921 and 1922. He requested the most sober and thoughtful in the selection of choice for First Assistant Secretary General and an intelligent choice of persons for the other elective offices. He then declared the offices of the Executive Council of the Association vacant and threw the meeting open for nominations. Hon. Dr. J.J. Peters, Chicago, expressed the feeling that the outgoing officers of the Executive Council were persons who were striving hard to make good in many instances. Their personality and character could not be questioned, and they had been tried and tested. He, therefore, moved that the entire personnel of the Executive Council be summoned. Hon. S. V. Rebecca of N.Y. Hon. S. V. Robertson, of Mississippi, seconded the motion. The constitutionality of Dr. Peter motion was questioned, and on its being pointed out by the Speaker that such a re-election was contrary to the Constitution. Hon. Bishop McUcraine was seconded by the unanimous vote for Hon. Marcus Garvey as President-General for the ensuing term of four years. The motion was seconded by Hon. Mr. Ellenburg and carried unanimously. The Secretary accordingly cast a unanimous vote and Hon. Marcus Garvey was re-elected President-General and Administrator amidst scenes of the greatest enthusiasm. Mr. Garvey thanked the convention for the renewed responsibility they had imposed on him, and promised that he would be best of his ability, to leave in the future as he had served in the past. The office of First Assistant President-General then engaged the attention of the convention. It was the unanimous feeling of the convention that the office should be left vacant until such time as the Administration found a capable man who would measure up in character, integrity and loyalty, to fill the position, and on the motion of Hon. V. Plummer, seconded by Hon. Mr. Johnson, Detroit, the office of First Assistant President-General was left vacant. The convention then proceeded to elect officers for the remaining positions on the Executive Council, and to acclimation by one unanimous vote to i.o. Secretary; Hon. William Sherrill, Second Assistant President-General and Titular Leader of American Negroes; Hon. Rudolph E. Smith, Third Assistant PresidentGeneral and Titular Leader of Negroes of the West Indies, South and Central America, and Lady Henrilette Vinton Davis, Fourth Assistant President-General. The newly-elected officers each returned thanks for the honor conferred on them and promised loyal and faithful service to the best of their ability. The PresidentGeneral then proceeded to make appointments to the appointive officers. In doing so he asked the approval of the convention of the persons selected by him. The following were appointed and unanimously approved by the convention: Sir Clifford Bourne, Chancellor; Sir Levi Lord, Auditor General; Sir James O'Meally, High Commissioner General; Hon. G. E. Carter, Secretary-General; Hon. Percival Burrows, First Assistant Secretary General; Hon. Wilmer Robinson, Minister of Legions; Hon. N. X. Robinson, Minister of Labor; Hon. Freeman L. Martin, Counsel General; Hon. James Hassell, Minister of Labor and Industry. By unanimous vote the convention created the position of secretary to the President General as one of the appointive positions and authorized the President General to make the appointment at his convenience and to use his own discretion in fixing the salary. On action of Mon. William Sherrell, seconded by Mon. Mr. Jackson, of New Orleans, a rising vote of thanks was accorded to Mon. Bishop McQuire for the splendid services he has rendered the convention. Bishop McQuire the vote of thanks, which he appreciated more than if he had given a certified check for $1,000. He alluded with regret to the one mistake he had taken during the years that he had been a member of the organization—unless/ getting tired and telling the President General he was going to leave the organization—but that he had made enough eighty months later, when the New York local sent him a notice as a number by paying up his arrears and accounts for two years. Mon. Honor Carver as this stage made a public demol of the charge held against Mon. Winston Prummer by a forfeiture of his loyalty of him. He took possession of stage that during his resurrection Mr. Prummer had rendered him loyal and faithful service, which he highly appreciated and for which he had always maintain a great deal of attachment and respect for him. On motion of Hon. J. B. Yearwood, a rising vote of thanks was accorded to the New York local for the courtesies and hospitality extended the delegates and deputies to the convention during the month. The vote of thanks was acknowledged by Bishop McGuire and Hon. Gee-Weston, First Vice-President of the New York local. Mon. Bishop Goe. McQuire moved a rising vote of thanks to the speaker in convention for the faithful and indescribable services rendered so earnestly and successfully during the thirty-one days of the convention, and also to the secretary, N. G. Thomas, for his excelled preparing and rendering the minutes of the meeting. The vote of thanks was passed with acclamation. Hon. Marcus Garvey in returning thanks expressed his appreciation of the help and cooperation he had received from the delegates and deputies without which he could not have successfully presided over the convention. It was noteworthy, he said, that we received the conformation for 29 or 30 days without our finding necessary, to appoint a seargeant-atarms or any one else to keep order, notwithstanding the fact that the delegates and deputies came from different parts of the world—the South meeting the East, the East meeting the West, the West meeting the North, the man from Barbados meeting the man from Jamaica. It showed that Nicaragua as gettin' on and we can if we can gettin' on 400,000 people over the world after the example of our efforts here in the last 30 days, we will have one glorious victory for Africa and for the race. Hon. N. G. Thomas suitably acknowledged the vote of thanks accorded him. Hon. Marcus Garvey then afforded some of the delegates and deputies the opportunity to address the convention in view of the fact that their labors would close on the following day and they would be departing for their respective homes. The following delegates and deputies made brief parting addresses: Hon. F. E. Johnson, Detroit; Hon. William Ware, Cincinnati; Hon. C. Jackson, New Orleans; Hon. J. B. Eaton, Virginia; Hon. J. Chambers, New Orleans; Hon. De Mona, Chicago; Hon. W. S. Youngen, Florida; Hon. R. Green, Jacksonville, Florida; Hon. R. Bachelor, Cube; Hon. Mrs. O'Brien, Montreal, Canada; Hon. A. G. Eilenburg, Gary, Ind.; Hon. J. Craigen, Detroit. Hon. Prof. D. H. Kyle, West Virginia. They all spoke in a very happy vein, expressing their joy at the inspiration they had received during their whole month and the stimulus given them to return to their respective divisions filled with a greater love for the organization with stronger determination to put over the work of the versal Negro Improvement Association. The convention then adjourned till 10 o'clock next day, Saturday, Aug. 20. STRANGE POWER! Are you undecided, unhappy, in doubt, unlucky, troubled, not well?

THE COLOR LINE IN THE BRITISH EMPIRE GROWING Must Be Solved on Basis of Equal Rights and Justice or There Can Be No Peace Nor Lasting Security DOWN WITH THE JINGOES From the Gold Coast Times: The color problem has become an imperial one, but as far it has battled solution because it has never been handled with the intention of solving it with justice for the colored races who are mostly affected by it. Yet, it seems to us to be the one great problem that should be faced courageously and settled to the satisfaction of the contending parties—the white element in the British Empire on the one side and the colored element on the other, as we do not see how the British Emperor is going to remain as a compact structure, and to endure for the full span of lifepredestination for it to continue the social brail in the family circle. It is, therefore, encouraging that the problem is still receiving due attention in high official circles in Britain. In a well-reasoned article in a recent issue of the Christian Science Monitor, Mr. J. H. Thomas, Secretary of State for the Colonies, refers to the British Empire as "the greatest demonstration ever made of the possibility of anting and maintaining peace among all the various families of mankind by applying to their problems the ideals of freedom, justice, sympathy and compassion" and adds that these are the true principles of government, and so long as its people are faithful to them the Commonwealth will endure." But, save Mr. Thomas "This does not mean, of course, that there are not immense difficulties to be solved. The Empire would not be worth while if it had not difficulties to overcome and if it was not overcoming them. It is not possible to unite, however loosely, a quarter of the people of the earth, without coming up against some formidable anges. Twenty years ago the principal anag was the relation between the self-governing peoples of the Empire. Ten years ago it was defence against the attempt of the Kaiser and his Prussian advisers to amash it from without. Today it is the difficulty of the color line and of limiting the economic exploitation of the people." The italics are our own, and we have emphasized this portion in order to draw particular attention to it. We believe Mr. Thomas has touched the core of the problem, for if the color line dis- HOLIDAY CANDY Jobbers Make Big Profit Selling Our Special 5c Sellers ADAMS CENTRAL CROPS ADAMS NAME ON EVERY CART Adams M Cough Drops, 24 S cartons. 60.

Even the black man turns from the suggestion with a feeling of repulsion and disgust. We have been so long accustomed to regarding God as white that we have identified his visage with his essence. Any change in the accustomed color implies alteration in character. In all of the religious schemes of the world, the gods create men in their own image and in their own likeness. Man, in his turn, fashions his gods after, his own physical similitude. Alexander Pope tells us that, "An honest man's the noblest work of God." Robert Ingersoll, with blasphemic apness, retorts, that "An honest God is the noblest work of man." All nations, races and peoples have been anthropomorphic. A collection of idols and graven images of all ages and times would make an interesting and instructive museum. The delites of the different peoples and races would be found to possess the physical idiosyncrasies of those who fashion them. Some would be white, some yellow, some red, some brown and some black. No other conclusion is conceivable. The human L.ind is ever prone to fashion its highest conception after its own physical model. Man is by nature idolatrous. He bows down and worships before images of wood and stone. This is most especially true of concrete-minded races and nations. It is too great a tax to focus the emotions on an abstract idea. The spirit we worship must manifest itself in outward-embodiment. It must have eyes to see and ears to hear and visage to be looked upon. After all has been said and done, idolatry is only personified selfishness. Our God must, have our own color and fact; features, must speak our vennacular and typify our moral and social aim. A universal religion must make the universal appeal and must rise above and transcend the incidents of race, color, language, age or clime. The Asiatic, the European, the African, in the fulness of self-consciouness, will not accept a religion whose carnal peculiarities are built on an alien pattern. The Hebrew-Christian religion has the fundamental requirement of universality. In its essential character and quality, it is all but completely detached from the incidents of time and place and racial and ethnic idiosyncrasies. It forever forbids racial self-worship by prohibiting idolatry. "Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven images or likeness; thou shalt not bow down thyself to them nor serve them." This commandment saves Hebraism from idolatry, frees it from narrow racial isolation, and raises it to the highest reaches of the yeasmings of the human spirit for all peoples and for all times. There was and is constant apostasy from the great ideal. The Samaritans sought to localize" and racialize Jehovah, and to monopolize his worship as their particular and exclusive privilege. Jesus, in rebuke the narrow intolerant spirit of the Samaritan woman, universalized the claim of Christianity as the creed or mankind. "Woman, believe me, the hour cometh and now is, when ye shall neither in this mountain nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. The true worship, shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth. For the Father taketh such to worship him. God is a spirit, and they that worship him must worship Him in spirit and in truth." This declaration forever banishes time and place and race from the Kingdom of God which Jesus came to set up on earth. But the more carnally minded portion of the European race, which is now dominant in the material affairs of the world, has lapsed into a flashy blot. They have made a graven image of whiteness and how down and worship it with a reverence surpassing that rendered to any other god. The decree of color has the strongest controlling sanction. It is more blessed, to be white than to be right. All ideals of beauty and goodness are made in this mold. White and black have been made connotative of opposite ethical qualities, of good and bad. The artistic and moral emotions have become adjusted to the unity of color and quality. The Christian religion is interpreted in terms of flesh and blood. The Negro is placed at the negative pole. His color must be apologized for when it is not belittled. The poet Cowper felt that he was complimenting the Negro to gonce that, "Fleecy locks and dark complexion can not forfeit nature's claim." "Two apologetic negatives never yet made an emphatic affirmative. Marcus Garvey, finding his race con-founded by such a color scheme, calculated to humiliate and degrade its spirit, utters an emphatic revolt which seems grotesque and bizarre to those who are habituated to the white man's norms of thought and feeling. But why should God be pictured, white rather than black, or yellow or brown? Except for the fact that the white man has given his own color to the graven image which he has made? I have seen colored angels painted on the walls of Negro churches, and an involuntary shudder has come over me, because of the unconscious absorption of the white man's 'mode of portraying heavenly things as proper and normal. I recall seeing in a magazine the Chinese pictorial interpretation of the escapades of the Prodigal Son. The truant son and the loving father were typical chimamen with pig eyes, pig tails and pigmented hue. "It at first struck me as a travacy; but the Chinese artist was simply true to the artistic genius of his race. He could not paint on an alien model. No Methodist artist can paint John the Baptist baptizing in the River Jordan. No Catholic can do justice to the portrayal of Martin Luther. A polochrome world can never accept a monochrome art. It is essential to eliminate artistic portrayal of heavenly characters, else each physical variety will have its own type, and will not fall to bow down and worship it. The Negro is pitilily befitted in the world by which he is surrounded. Tis standards are borrowed, and too often prove to be a misfit. He is nalvally unconscious of his predicament. I never witness a Negro dramatic cast performing a play intending to harmonize color and quality without a feeling of mixed revolt and pity. A Negro theatrical troupe, where the lighter hued women and the darker-colored men are contrasted to ridicule, bellitte and burlesque the race, suggests the unconscious degradation of the mimicry of alien art. According to the prevailing mode, all standards of excellence attach to the white race. The high stations in our social scheme are held by them. The Negro is relegated to the lower levels of service and dignity. We get in the habit of looking for noble qualities in one color and innoble ones in the other. "Othello", is the only conspicuous here of of color that the white man has ever portrayed in modern literature, and even he was, endowed with fatal weakness. In modern literature one nowhere finds a hero of unmistakable Negro blood who holds excellence to the end. Even when given a good start he is always made to break down in the midat of his career. The high qualities of the lady or the gentlemen must not be exhibited in that color. The Negro is a great patron of the moving picture, where he witnesses all noble qualities attributed to white men and women; while his own type never rises above the buffoon or the good and faithful servant. Unless he is careful to distinguish between the essential of quality and the non-essentials of colors, he will find that modern art steals away his racial self-respect he is aware. The remedy does not consist in the vindictive alternative of Marcus Garvey. There can not be two standards in one civilization; neither can we have two Gods, one white and one black. We should have to have, not only a God for white and black, but one for every hue and shade between. The Episcopallian definition of God is that he, "is a being without body parts or passion." The true God can have no race, no color, no national performers. He is father alike to all of His children of every clime and hue. I have on my mantel busts of Plato and Shakespeare; but to me the race and nationality count for naught, their intellect for everything. I care nothing for race, color or supernatural aspect of the author of "The Sermon on the Mount." Religion appeals to the soul and not to the skin. Science and philosophy are color blind, a Christianity that reckons with color is no Christianity at all. The Negro only salvation is to stress the essentials in science, art and religion. "Let those who will, revel in supernaturalities. And, yet, I devoutly wish that more members of the Negro blood might command high places and achieve great deeds. It brings respect to the race and makes it easier for the Negro to respect himself. It is tragedy to have white men monopolize what few high stations Negro life affords. It adds nothing to the glory of the white race, but leaves the Negro poor indeed. In the formal state of things every race will produce illustrious names in about the same relative numbers. There is no inherent relation between race and excellence or color and noble quality. Flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God. Just as we deem it a sin for the white race to bow down and worship a white God, just so it is no less for the Negro to bow down and worship a black one. NOTICE NOTICE Mr. and Mrs. S. E. Gray of GRAY'S PALACE CONSERVATORY OF MUSIC, 60 WEST 19TH ST. have returned, and booking will begin Sept. 1st or the next day (president direction). They spent a very pleasant week with friends at Atlantic City, N. J. also Providence, New London and Boston. One of Mr. Gray's reasons for going to Boston is that the town was to visit the Boston Conservatory and New England Conservatory of Music. Alice Paul of the National Woman's Party writes to correct a misapprehension concerning the incident at the grave of Inez Milholland. I feel that Miss Paul or her associates should have taken up the matter with the "Times," in which the news story appeared. She informs me that she and Mrs. Boyer were misquoted. Here, again, her complaint lies with the source article. However, I am willing to let the National Woman's Party have a chance to state its case here. Miss Paul writes as follows: "I have read your statement that the Woman's Party did not want a Negro to speak at the grave of Inez Milholland" and am writing to give you the facts. "The pilgrimage to the grave of Inez Milholland was organized by the Woman's Party. It consisted almost entirely of Woman's Party members who had worked with Inez in the suffrage fight, although we also invited her family and friends to accompany us. We arranged a very simple ceremony of music and singing, and, at the urgent request of a member of Inez's family, we arranged to have no speakers at the grave. "Shortly before the service began, Mr. Milholland, the father of Inez, told us that he had invited Mr. Scott, a distinguished Negro, to speak at the grave. We explained to Mr. Scott that there were to be no speeches at the grave and asked if he would place a wreath as the rest of us were doing, instead of making a speech. To this suggestion he immediately acceded. "After we had placed our wreaths and the choir was leading the procession down the hillside, Mr. Milholland called upon Mr. Scott and Mrs. Hunton, secretary, of the Association for the Advancement of Negroes, to speak. The Woman's Party members listened with courtesy to these two speakers and at the conclusion expressed appreciation to them of what they had said. These two Negroes were the only speakers at the grave. "At this point I want to make clear that these two speakers did not intentionally break into our service. They came to the pilgrimage, we understand, under the impression that it had been organized by the Milholland family, that speeches were to be made at the grave dealing with various political, social and economic movements with which Ixne had been connected, and that they were to represent upon this occasion the movement for the advancement of Negroes. As soon as they learned that the memorial at the grave was a Woman's Party memorial, organized and financed by the Woman's Party; that it was to commemorate the service of Ixne to the suffrage cause, and that there were to be no speeches, they fell in with these plans and would not have spoken had they not been publicly called upon to do so. "I should like, before concluding, to take up two statements which you make. You write: 'They did not want a Negro to speak at the grave of Inzq Mithiloland because, as Mrs. Gaeta Wold Boyer explained, "We want to try and elect some Congressmen in Southern States." This statement was not made by Mrs. Boyer and could not have been made because we are not trying to elect Congressmen in any Southern State. "You attribute the following statement to me! This was arranged as a demonstration of women and it was no place for colored people to speak. With regard to colored people as speakers, we arranged, as I have already said, to have no speakers, and the question of the color of speakers was never discussed by us." "The Woman's Party is made up of women of all races, creeds and nationalities, who are united on the one program of working to raise the status of women. In our organization there is absolutely no discrimination with regard to race, creed or nationality. If we had planned to have speakers on this occasion, the question of their race would not have been considered in selecting them. "We are sorry that this controversy has arisen over our effort to honor one of our fellow-workers. I think that all the women of the Woman's Party who went upon this pilgrimage did so with the single desire of expressing their affection for Inez. They had no thought of political effect or expediency in what they were doing, and greatly regret that the effort has been made to use this pilgrimage against the interest of the woman's cause to which Inez gave her life." Note—As The Negro World of last week carried an editorial condemnation of Miss Alice Paul and the National Woman's Party, based upon alleged happenings at the grave of Inez Millholland, when, it is alleged, the color line was drawn, we deemed it just and fair to allow Miss Paul to state her side of the story—Editor, The Negro World. Having taken up the question of the National Woman's Party and the Negro, I find myself amalled from two sides. Miss Paul has stated her case here. I feel that it is fair to let the other side answer, but this close the discussion as far as this column is concerned. Martha Grimming writes: they absolutely no discrimination in the Women's Party because of rape of women, accordingly untrust, and one knew that better than Miss Paul herself, since she more than any girl else has been responsible for the party's policy. At the time of the first suffrage parade in Washington, as Miss Paul well known, the attempt was made first to keep out and then to Jim Crow the Negro woman who were determined to march. The attempt failed largely because of the vigorous protest of Jews Milholland and other members who were revoiled by it, but the discourtesy of Miss Paul and her Residents toward the colored women partly effected its object, for a number of them who had intended to march did not do so. "At the Washington headquarters colored women whom I knew were made to feel unwelcome, and during the picket campaign and after it the official literature of the party was full of offensive references to the fact that the pickets were put in jail with colored women. Miss Paul's attitude on this question was so flagrant that the suggestion actually was made at a meeting of colored and white people which I attained in Washington that Negro women 'picket the pickets' in behalf of the Negro women's enfranchisement. "Miss Paul's letter also seems to convey the impression that the colored representatives 'came away perfectly satisfied with the explanation given, by the Woman's Party. This is odd in view of the report made by Mrs. Hunton to the secretary of the N. A. A. C. P. on this incident, which begins as follows: 'I have been to Meadowmount. . . Once again I have seen the yellow streak in the Woman's Party.' "Miss Paul also states that if they had planned to have speakers the question of color would not have arisen. This also in curious in view of the fact that on at least one occasion Miss Paul, to my certain knowledge, refused to have a speaker for no other reason than that she was colored. If there were actually no question of color, it would seem as if Mrs. Hunton or some other well-known colored feminist might very appropriately been asked to take part in the exercises, whatever they were, not as representatives or colored organizations but as stratigists. "It would also seem as if some of the episodes in the pageant portraying women liberators might have dealt with such emancipators as Harriet Tubman and Sojourner Truth. However this may be, the impression is certainly abroad among colored people that the Woman's Party discriminates against them. It is very unfortunate, and one can easily see how vexations it is to Miss Paul to be so misrepresented. It is just possible, however, that if Miss Paul really wishes to convince colored people of the sincerity of her intentions, that, sceptical and sensitive as they are, she can do so. Such steps, for instance, as active recruiting for members among colored people, the employment of colored organizers and equal voice for Negro women in the councils of the party, a declaration of principles which would hold good in the South as well as in the North, and a relentless attack on disfranchisement of Negro women might perhaps go some way toward convincing them of the fundamental good will and decency of the Woman's Party in its attitude toward them." THE IMAGE OF MAN IS MAN OF THE IMAGE Bishop George Alexander McGuire, former rector of St. Phillips P. E. Church of this city, but now Bishop and founder of the African Orthodox Church, has attracted much attention by declaring that God and Christ are black. This is no new theory. The late Col. Joseph T. Wilson, author of the Black Phalanx, took this view of the situation. Bishop McGuire explains the situation in a most reasonable manner when he says: "Of course, God is not a Negro. A spirit is nothing physical. But in one's prayers one must vision some one to listen, and we can think only of some one in human form. I had had the picture in my mind of a white God. Now came the picture of a black God. Oh, when I say my prayers I would rather say them to a great patriarchal Negro than to a white man! And Jesus, the God, is not black; nor is His mother, the Spirit. But when I picture them, too, I want to picture them as black—together with me in the image and likeness of my God. "There is no doubt, however, according to the genealogies of Jesus given in the New Testament, that He had black blood in His veins. In addition to the blood of Shem, He had also the blood of Ham. The Scriptures hear record that Tamar, the mother of Pharez, and Rahab, mother of Boaz, were Canaanites, Canaan being the fourth son of Ham. From Pharez and Rahab runs the pedigree of Christ. And since by the standards set up by white men one drop of Negro blood makes a man a Negro, if Christ with this known pedigree were living today in Dixie the color line would be drawn against Him. This then explains the whole situation. It conforms to the New Testament, John IV, 24th verse: "God is a Spirit; and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth." We shall note with interest the result of Bishop McGregory's labors along these lines. He is building a Church, which will increase in power and influence. We are interested to know whether or not white people are ad- To the Editor of This Negro World: Will you kindly grant the necessary space in your worthy columns for the statements of facts that has cast a gloom over the township of Luderitz, and in particular those of us who are imprisoned here on a so-called "location." We cannot understand, why the oppressors and suppressors of modern freedom have at all times during their presence in our fatherland been ever bent on the exploitation of our race. On July 7 there arrived among us from the country districts—a member (European) of the "Holy Order of Thieves" in the person of the "Rev." William Garner, of the Wesleyan Methodist denomination, missionary to the European and native congregation of the Luderitz district. By all intents and purposes he was bent on practicing what was never preached to the lot of natives, in the way of acquiring wealth, for all that has ever been preached to us natives is to prepare ourselves for the second coming of Jesus Christ, while the other Yellow is ever bent on unearthing every bit of mineral wealth that abounds in Mother Africa. The cat got out of the bag on this eventful day. Saturday, July 12, 1924. As it is universally known that the purpose of the white explorer in Africa, be he capitalist or preacher, is for nothing else than to get rich quick, by whatever means at command, and that in the course of such they will resort to the very lowest means, it will be seen that this self-made priest, on stepping down from the train on Friday morning, the 11th, was received by the local catechist, one of us Negroes. After going the rounds of the local congregation and arranging for the coming services on the following Sunday with the usual Baptismal and sacramental rituals, he made his departure for the diamond fields, so as to visit his flock there. His intention was to return to us for the Sunday services as usual. The congregation waited and waited to hear the parson, preach and pray, but no parson could be found. The congregation got unaccented about the non-appearance of the "predikant." The customary services had to be postponed pending his arrival later in the evening. But, to outdo us at this end of the bay, the "predikant" was proclaiming the gospel in the Kolmanskop diamond fields, with one eye on the gospel book and the other eye taking in all of the collections he could get in the form of diamonds, as British pennies are not valued so much nowadays. He accepted something more of value, as, to our great surprise, the predikant was driven in to Luderitz on a go-wheel trolley accompanied by the diamond detective, and housed in comfortable quarters to await his brother's decision on his unfortunate escapade with his bag of diamonds. We are not in a position right now to know what has become of the Gospel book, but what we natives now are sensible enough to know is the white man's religion. We do not want any more of this kind; we have had enough o' it. It is no wonder they have excluded all Negro missionaries from this part of the fatherland. Why? Brother, you don't know. That's why I am about to let you know. Alluvial diamonds are found sixteen kilometers from the bay or the sea, about twelve English miles, and even in some parts near—right on the sea-beach. If your eyes are good you can pick them up, with the alter-angive of seven years' hard labor in a Boer prison, because the Boers have charge of the prisons, now in South Africa. Hence we cannot allow Negro missionaries to set foot on mother's soil, for the Negroes are blessed with very good spectacles, in particular those of us that are abroad. Don't you know that it was a Basto Negro who found the very first diamond here? The predikants of the other race can come with their Gospel book now and carry the precious mineral away by the bagful. I am looking forward and hope that when our Negro predikants do come they will settle down to good work, not with the Gospel book alone; but you must also make yourself look a bit fat when you have your coat on. The Rev. William Garner has given to us the real interpretation of his doctrine, and that is that he cannot live by the gospel alone; he must also have a share of the diamonds. You know that part of his book that tells you that man cannot live by bread alone, and there you have the whole thing. From the White Man's Viewpoint The whole thing is here in a nutshell: That the editors of the different newspapers here were so active in broadcasing the news that our President-General was incarcerated in the Tombs upon a miscarriage of justice; but they have absolutely refrained from the publication of same. Why? All of the publications here are in the German language, and the Negro can read a bit of that language; hence he cannot see the deeds of the white man; but we all know it, for the police station abounds with native constables. But mitted to membership, and if so, if they have the same chance of advancement ostensibly so, it is given these communicants of a darker hue.

MARCUS GARVEY 133 W. 129th Street, New York City Agents Who Desire to Handle These Pictures Can Also Communicate With Above Address the Negro public is excluded from the courts during proceedings even in this very case. But they cannot fool all of the people all of the time. Up to the time of writing, the preliminaries of the case are being proceeded with. I guess the predikant will have to serve a very long term in prison, and be disbarred, in the interest of the church and the congregation, and enter the mines in full either as a prospector or as a shareholder. Either one of the before-mentioned jobs will suit him, but not as a preacher, for we have read that the man Jesus went into the synagogue and overthrew the tables of those that bought and sold with money and all; but the preachers of our time are also having a good time at the tables of the money changers. It is no wonder that it is the missionary who spies out the land first. I say that he also is entitled to his share of the spoils. But his brothers are against his present rig. his, collar and gown. So, European predilicans, beware on entering these mission fields, for there is something else here besides sinners that have to be saved. "The mills of the gods grind slowly, but they grind exceedingly small." ALETHEA. Leelitzer. Southwest Africa. July 18, 1924. The U. N. I. A. Convention and Garvey's new indictment in New York are made the excuses of another shower of bricks thrown at the head of the gritty West Indian by his enemies and the hostile press. "Uneary lies, the head that wears a crown." Gary Sun publishers and staff have no connection with the U. N. I. A. and its objects. Yet the Sun sympathises with Marcus Garvey as it does with every individual who receives a shower of bricks when he dares do a thing or atick his head above the crowd without the sanction of certain "leaders" and "people." Garvey's enemies would do well to credit Marcus for his move, grit and stickability some time while doing the worst to wreck the U. N. I. A. leader and his organization. It will do them no harm at all to look upon Garvey with more charity and less hate. In turn it will help Marcus Garvey as a human being and man if he will devote more time to the achievement of his objects and less to advertising the differences between himself and others. All that can be expected of any individual is sincerity of belief and purity of motive in any effort to achieve for the good of all. If one is a fool, prejudicial, muddle-headed, and exasperating or even has certain grave faults of character in other respects, he can still be a leader and entitled to a leader's consideration and rewards. But if, when professing to suffer for right and truth and champion liberty he is really seeking his own advantage by saying, attempting and doing things dishonestly all the time, then he is done for. Any individual or group of individuals of this type are just mere humbugs—not leaders. This will be true for both Marcus Garvey and his critics if their deeds of head and heart are insincere and dishonest.
