The Negro World

IN MEMORIAM FELLOW MEN OF THE NEGRO RACE, Greeting: It is sad for us at this time to mourn the death of one of the race's greatest characters, in the person of Chief Justice J. J. Dossen of Liberia, who died on the 17th of August, 1924, at his home at Cape Palmas, Liberia, West Africa. Very few of us outside of Liberia know of the value and worth of this great man. He was not only a true, patriotic and loyal Liberian, but he was a lover and patriot of his race, and of no mean order. His only great hope was that one day the scattered sons and daughters of Africa would reassemble in their own Motherland and there, under the protection of a strong government of their own, enjoy real freedom and liberty. Disposition of a Great Man Toward this end he was willing to place at the disposal of the race, through the Universal Negro Improvement Association, all his energy and ability, which was great, to the end that we would all concentrate upon the building up of the good republic of Liberia as a first rate nation in Africa. He was unlike many who view the Universal Improvement Association with suspicion in Liberia. He was too broad, too liberal, too patriotic to think that other Negroes could have any other intention than that of helping to strengthen and solidify their race and make thereof a great power in the world. James Jenkins Dossen was right. He was a true reader of the human mind and heart. He knew well that the Universal Negro Improvement Association's purpose in Liberia was one of friendship, love and helpfulness and for that he was willing, with men like Arthur Barclay, to do his best to advance the cause that would mean so much to his country and race. Gone to Great Beyond The Evil That Men Do But what does it all lead to—the evil that they have done? Not so much to injure the Universal Negro Improvement Association, but to injure the cause of Liberia DEATH OF GREAT LIBERIAN PATRIOT WHO REPRESENTED UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION CHIEF JUSTICE OF LIBERIA WAS A MAN OF GREAT VISION WHOLE WORLD OF NEGROES MOURN FOR JAMES JENKINS DOSSEN ENEMIES HAD NO INFLUENCE ON HIM HE STOOD FOR TRUTH AND RIGHTEOUSNESS UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION WAS DEAR TO HIM and injure the cause of the race; yet they profess to be friends of those who are in power in Liberia. If those who are in power could only know the treachery and evil that lurk behind these men who profess to be friends! We are glad, nevertheless, that we had and still have men like Chief Justice J. J. Dossen; men who cannot be easily moved and persuaded from what is just, right and honorable; men who prefer death to dishonor. As we intimated before, we feel that Chief Justice Dossen died not because he was suffering from natural ailments, but because of the sudden shock on learning of what those who were in control of the government of his country had done against the Universal Negro Improvement Association in carrying out the program for the country and to which there was a standing agreement to which he himself was a party. Men of honor cannot tolerate treachery and deceit, and James Jenkins Dossen was one of those who stood above it. Honor a Great Liberian We call upon the four hundred million Negroes of the world to mourn for this great and noble man; to pray for the entry of his soul into the Kingdom of God. Surely his good work and deeds shall not pass away, but we shall record them in the book of time and ever remember him for the noble and grand and good things he did during his life time. In the building up of Ethiopia surely we shall erect another great monument to another great soul, that of James Jenkins. Dossen. As we mourn for him we are heartened to know that in Liberia there still exist men who stand for the highest and loftiest in service to the race, and who are not too narrow nor jealous, but who are willing to link hands and hearts with others who are desirous of doing good. On such men the Universal Negro Improvement Association depends for the successful carrying out of its program; that of industrially, agriculturally, commercially and educationally developing the country to become one of the great forward nations of the world. Irresponsible Negroes Make Trouble Irresponsible, malicious and jealous Negroes of the United States of America have tried by all means to misrepresent the Universal Negro Improvement Association to the government of Liberia, and a few Liberians themselves have allowed themselves to be used to hurt their own country and the great cause of her development, but sooner or later the truth will be known and when the great Liberian people get to realize that they have no friend outside PRICE: FIVE CENTS IN GREATER NEW YORK TEN CENTS ELSEWHERE IN THE U.S.A. TEN CENTS IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES of Liberia better and greater and more sincere than the Universal Negro Improvement Association, then they will see and realize the harm and injury done to them by the few of their own and by those in America who are but agents of those who desire to keep the Negro a serf and to exploit him for all that is possible. The world wants more men of the type of James Jenkins Dossen. Men who can rise above the little prejudices of life, the little rivalries and jealousies and live for the common good. Garvey and Liberia In Liberia some of those in control imagine that Marcus Garvey desires to go to Liberia to become President or to interfere with the politics of the country. How silly, how foolish. J. J. Dossen was one who did not believe in such things, because Marcus Garvey has much more work to do among Negroes than to domicile himself in Liberia to interfere with its politics. All that Marcus Garvey desires to see is a great Liberia, a great Negro nation, one of the many to be created in Africa for the good of the Negro race. How could he be President of Liberia, President General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and still be working for the creation of other Negro nations, strong and powerful, to advance the dignity and honor of the Negro race? If those who are jealous of the success of their fellow men would get to realize that there is much for each and every one to do in his own sphere, then we would not have so many misunderstandings. Dossen a Great Patriot Let the good people of Liberia realize that Chief Justice Dossen was one of their greatest friends and patriots. We, on this side, love him because he was great of soul. We shall ever honor him because of his liberality of purpose, and we hope that other Liberians will imitate the life and work of the great man who has fallen. In all the correspondence carried on between the Universal Negro Improvement Association and Chief Justice Dossen there was not a line in which he did not breathe the spirit of good will toward his race and express the hope for the salvation of his country and for the ultimate return to the Motherland of all the scattered sons and daughters of Ethiopia. His last letter, written on the 1st of July, is a document worthy of preservation. It was his last communication to the Universal Negro Improvement Association. It shall be cherished, and whenever we need inspiration for the carrying on of the great work we shall re-read the last words of James Jenkins Dossen, patriot, seer, statesman and martyr of Cape Palimas, Liberia, West Africa. With very best wishes for your success. I have the honor to be Your obedient servant, MARCUS GARVEY, President-General. CLARKSBURG, W. VA., September 15, 1924. P. S. Negroes everywhere, and especially members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, branches, chapters and divisions, are asked to rally this week to the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company and the Parent Body of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. All moneys in hand for bonds for the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company for $20, $25, $50, $100, $500 or $1,000 by way of loans should be sent to the corporation for the period of five or ten years.

EXT OF PETITION SENT TO HIS HOLINESS THE POPE OF ROME BY DELEGATES OF 4TH INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION OF NEGROES FREEDOM OF NEGROES ASKED EVERYWHERE, ESPECIALLY IN AFRICA Tremendous Influence of Universal Negro Improvement Association TO HIS HOLINESS THE POPE OF ROME, THE VATICAN, ROME. THE VATICAN, ROME. MAY IT PLEASE YOUR HOLINESS: WE, THE DEPUTIES AND DELEGATES of the Fourth Annual International Convention of the Negro Peoples of the World, assembled in Liberty Hall, New York City, United States of America, 1st to 31st of August, 1924, beg to submit this, our humble appeal, to Your Holiness for an honest and human settlement of the problems of humanity, especially those affecting the black race. Believing that you are fully informed, not only of the religious affairs and movements of the world, but with the social, political and economic problems thereof, and since efforts for adjustments are being set forth by various groups and their leaders, we believe that Your Holiness is deeply concerned over the injustices, discriminations, cruelties and hardships which Negroes (millions of whom belong to your own ecclesiastical family, and regard you as their Most Holy Father), suffer throughout the countries of the world in which they dwell, not excepting the several States, provinces and colonies in their motherland Africa, now dominated by European governments. The recital of our sufferings and of the threatened extermination of the Negro race is rendered, unnecessary in this communication, because they cannot have escaped the thought, compassion and intercessions of Your Holiness in your desire to bring about that era of "Peace on earth to men of good will" predicted by the Angelic Messenger announcing the advent of the Prince of Peace nearly two thousand years ago. We, your humble petitioners, representing the four hundred millions of the Negro, branch of the human family, foresee the gathering clouds of a greater world war than has yet been known on earth, which oppressed and proscribed races of darker hues are likely arrayed against the race that is ruthlessly trampling upon the rights of others and thus hastening the day of universal war. For ourselves, as Negroes, we are unalterably convinced that nothing short of the restoration of Africa to its original owners, with the establishment of independent Negro governments, and all the rights and privileges of nationhood, will act as a solvent for the thousand ills we suffer everywhere. Civilization has reached a point where different race groups have severally decided to adjust and administer their own racial affairs, and that each race feels that its interest can be best protected under its own direction. For this reason we find the different groups of humanity seeking a national independence of their own. Basing their policy on such premises, it is believed that the great problems of humanity will be solved, wherein all peoples will be allowed to live peacefully under the protection of their own racial government, and worship according to the dictates of their own consciences. In the practice of each race governing itself, there is every reason to assume that humanity becomes happier, and the cause of war is lessened. We desire to impress upon you the fact that four hundred million Negroes of the world are no longer disposed to hold themselves as serfs, peons and slaves; but that it is their intention to look forward to the higher benefits of human liberty, human rights and true democracy. We desire also to impress upon you that it is not the intention of the four hundred million Negroes of the world to place themselves at the disposal of any other ethnic group as auxiliaries of war, and meanwhile not be considered as human beings, in the distribution of those rights to which the victors of war have ever been entitled; but we shall ever be ready and anxious to assist with our blood, and every means at our disposal that may be necessary, when due consideration is given our undeniable claims to which we are entitled as human beings, such rights and liberties being common to all other members of the human family. We feel there should be a better understanding between the races of the world, and that we, representing as we do, one of the strongest groups of the human family, are entitled to the equal consideration in all those affairs that concern our existence. This, as Your Holiness is informed, is the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, founded by the Honorable Marcus Garvey, under whose leadership we are now assembled. We, therefore, appeal most earnestly to Your Holiness to use your high and holy office and the influence of the great Holy Roman Church over which you preside, to bring our case before the tribunal of the righteous opinion of the world for an honest and human settlement of the human ills and thus promoting the coming of that glorious day, when nations and races shall dwell in universal peace and happiness. For this we, your petitioners, will ever pray. Signed for Fourth Annual International Convention of Negroes: Rev John D. Barker, chairman, W.A. Wallace, Hattie Johnson, Fred E. Johnson, A.G. Ellenburg, D. H. Kyle, G. Emonei Carter, George Alexander McGuire. A similar petition has been sent to His Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury, England. CRUSHINGLY DEFEATED BY MOORS, SPANIARDS TO GIVE UP LARGE ZONE From the New York World LONDON, Sept. 14. Evacuation of the greater part of the Spanish-Mor- rocean zone has been decided on by the Madrid Military Directorate, head- ed by Gen. Primo de Rivera, as the punt of crushing defenses suffered by the Spanish army at the hands of influenza, diplomatic quarters here abandoned today. This situation has not yet been an awareness through the Spanish po- sent, but diplomatic telegrams received here from the Spanish have do- cided to evacuate the Tengier Peninsula, with the exception of the low land along both coasts and a narrow strip across the hilly country south of the Tengier zone. North of a line drawn from the Port of Tetuan to Alcazar Kebir, the Spaniards will hold on, but south of that line, with the exceptions noted, they will surrender to Abdul Krim. Negotiations will be opened for release of the garrison of Seibuen, which is besieged and at the mercy of the tribesmen. BY G. EMONIE CARTER Secretary-General, U. N. I. A. The depths to which men will resort in pushing forward their own selfish ends and to safeguard, as they think, their future, are immeasurable. These depths do not seriously disturb thoughtful men, nor do they being any considerable annoyance, but, rather, it goes to prove that the white man has trained some of the race so well until it is impossible for them to see anything that does not spell desolation, exploitation and ruin of a black race. Those of us who may be charged with the task of bringing to the black men and women of the world the sense and responsibility of their being are often put to wonder how far these agents of diabolical wickedness and hellish machinations will go to keep in ignorance, superstition and economical industrial slavery the millions of black men and women. They seem to be conscious only of the lesson so well learned, that it is the big business of the enlightened classes to exploit the masses, and when they cannot any longer be exploited they must be whipped into subjection and driven to hell by them. They have forgotten, however, that the "voice of the people is the voice of God," and that when it is heard all men must take heed. They seem to think that the masses have no rights which they are bound to respect, nor do the masses need to be heard in any matter in which they see a chance to put into their coffers a few dollars. But when these massa are being indoctrinated with manhood rights, racial solidarity and nationhood expression, an has been set forth by the U. N. I. A. for the past six years, and under the intrepid leadership of the dauntless leader, Marcus Garvey they will be brought to that place in their experience, when they will realize that a determined man is a most dangerous man to encounter; that the avalanche of thought and the momentum of an irresistible forward movement will not down until everything in the way is overcome If you use the hope of the Christian in presaging the future of our movement, then it is assured in the promise to the overcoming Christian: "All is promised to him who, ever comes, and naught to him who starts and stops by the way." An awakened people knows not the voices of the old masters. There is something in the ring of those voices that predicates a falsehood. There is something in the sound that betrays the sincerity of their owners. There is a note of alarm that seems to presage the undoing of their masters. An awakened people will not be fooled, played with, nor toyed about. They are determined in their efforts and will be heard in no uncertain terms. The old masters are calling loud and long this early fall. But their cries are reaching an awakened folk who under the leadership of Marcus Garvoy, recognize the subtlety of the call and the insincerity of its tenor. This people will not head their voices, because they know that the truth makes free; and this is a lasting freedom, because it brings an abiding good to the suffering masses. They call in a manner which seems to be authentic and final; but every call is met with a counter call which clarifies the situation and exposes the duplicity of their call. They call in the same manner as they have always called, forgetting that the Negro, who gave his last measure of love to make the world free for democracy, for a new Negro and cannot be fooled as easily now as then. They forget that this new Negro doesn't accept a thing simply because my master said it, as he used to do, but, rather, he investigates for himself. They call, but they won't be heeded. The forward movement has gathered too much momentum to be overcome. Its gathering strength and velocity can be heard, and ere the year comes to a close the people's voices will demand a just abdication of these old masters. More anon. Genuine BAYER ASPIRIN which contains proven directions Handles "Bayer" bags of 18 tablets Also bottles of 24 and 100 -Druggifts writes the trade name of Bayer Mustache PRINCE KOJO TOVALOU HOUENOU, OF DAHOMEY, TO TOUR U. S. To Visit Branches of Universal Negro Improvement Association with Approval of President-General MARCUS GARVEY HAS SHOWN HOW TO DO THINGS He Has Organized and Unified a Large Race Which Finances Its Own Operations Marcus Garvey is again holding the front page of the journals of the country, with much favorable and unfavorable comment. He also gets some editorial mention from many conservative papers. We are too far from the martial strife to pass favorably or unfavorably upon this prodigious leader and his Negro Improvement Association. We know he is a wonderful organizer, and if the talents he possesses, with his ingenuity for organization, are properly directed, he is bound to do wonders for his race and his organization. Negroes of his type are pioneers and must of necessity make many mistakes but he shows that Negroes can do things and that they have the money and brains and willingness to pay if properly organized. This shows in his purchasing of the General George W. Goethals, a large steamship which was recently christened "Booker T. Washington." This, too, after a colossal failure of the Black Star Line, which incurred a loss of thousands of dollars which were the hard earnings of the black folk. The total blame should not be laid at the door of Mr. Garvey for this failure, because it is hard to find the right kind of employees for small business. Most of the kind who are available are not worthy of positions given them and only look forward to the pay envelope without rendering service. "We do not think Mr. Garvey needs any briefs from us, as he is able to take care of himself. We think that he should be given credit for what he has done and is doing. He has organized a class of Negroes no other person in these United States could organize, and they have a wonderful organization which is doing some good, even though some of his ideas are impracticable. His experience with his former ship adventure will stand him in good stead, and we venture the prediction that this one will be longer lived. The Columbia State has the following to say: "President Marous Garvay of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, who has notions of being emperor or something in Africa, is making progress despite an indictment against him in a United States Court for fraud. The association recently purchased the steamship General George W. Goethals, and it announces the ship will be used, along with others to be later added to their fleet, to carry Negroes back to Africa." Writing to a New York newspaper, a Negro woman complains that the press is not treating the Universal Negro Improvement Association with that seriousness and fairness which it merits, and suggests the Negroes who wish to change their country and go where they can "express" themselves and develop unhindered be encouraged. Doubtless the whites would encourage such more could they do so with a clear conscience. But they have responsibility to offer protection to the ignorant and deluded. However, having explained the situation and performed their duty, they might regard it as a wholesome lesson should the Garvey plan succeed and a few thousand American Negroes find their way to Liberia. If Garvey succeeds in showing the Negro how to advance when unassuainted by the whites he will have accomplished that which will be new to history. His Highness Prince Kojo Tovalou Houenou, whose visit to the United States we have already announced in these columns, and whose purpose is to study conditions, economic, industrial and political, as they affect our people in the Western World, has informed us that he is about to start on his tour across the country. He does so with the full sanction and authorization of the president general, Mon. Marcus Garvey, to visit the divisions and chapters of the Universal Negro Improvement Association included in his itinerary. The prince, who is an observant student of human life in the many phases, will visit the Middle West and Southern States, and on his return North his The world stood on the tee last Thursday night when Harry Willa, Negro, engaged Lois Angel Firpo, Latin-American, in a twelve-round bout in Jersey City. Seventy-five thousand men and women sat in the huge wooden bowl at Boyles Thirty. Acre, exactly as men and women sat in the Coliseum, at Rome in the days before Chaffin watching two men match wits and strength in a struggle for supremacy. Firpo was the "Wild Bull of the Pampas." Willa was the "Brown Panther." Good Work the Old Negroes Did to Help Children Get Education and Better Start in Life Than They Had Many would have preferred to see a real wild bull, four-footed and horned, snorting, head lowered, charging down upon a real panther, florce and swift, with paws and claws. Powerful animals at grips ever did delight the mob. But we live in a Christian era, and, even though the coming of the Son of Man has been in vain, we must put on some show of change; we must delude ourselves. So we give to our principals of the prize ring the names of beasts of the forest, and take a secret joy in the personification. From The Kansas City Call In an editorial remarkable for its breadth of view and clarity of thought, one of our contemporaries has risen to the defense of the "Uncle Tom" Negro "Uncle Toms," it is pointed out, served the needs of their time to the best of their ability—and "how to-towing" to "Marse George" and at the same time securing the money and favors needed for the next generation was the method they found most effective. Harry Wills beat Luis Firpo unmercifully. Firpo never had a chance. The Negro proved himself the master both in skill and strength. Firpo, perhaps, will never be the same again, so terrible was the beating he received. It would have been merciful and more spectacular for Wills to have floored Firpo again, and forced him to remain so for ten seconds, as he struggled to his feet after the knockdown in the second round. But this was not the Wills way. Firpo had "heaten eight-Negroes" "No Negro could kick him." So he had boasted. And Wills's forebears came from Africa. The "Uncle Tom" type of Negro has served the period of his usefulness. He has done his work well, for he has left far too many sons and daughters a slave psychology, which falls to meet the demands of our day and time. There are Negroes today, the second and even third generation from slavery, who work, play and live under an inferiority complex—a sense that they are not an other people, that their portion of this world's goods is less and different from that of others because they, themselves are less than other people. Heywood Brown was nearly right. In Firpo the Negro stalwart saw the embodiment of the white man's conceit, saw a man who despised and underrated him BECAUSE HE WAS BLACK. No Negro could beat Firpo. So Wills, Negro, pummeled and punished, and glorified in the process. He set himself the task of ridding Firpo's system of its superiority complex. Brown thought that before Wills' eyes were passing the sufferings of the Negro race as he dealt with Firpo. Not quite so. Were Wills thinking of this, he would have flattened Firpo 'are the sound of the gong in the first round had died This idea is one of the bonds that checks our progress, that causes us to grope and stumble instead of marching on as do other men. This slave psychology is responsible for millions of dollars in "stocking money" lying idle or in the other man's banks drawing a paltry 3 per cent. While we take our "safe" percentage, he uses our millions to buy stock, mortgages and bonds; to erect buildings in which we can not have offices, clubs to which we can not belong; factories where our laborers are not hired, schools which our children may not attend; to finance transportation systems upon which we are humiliated; to build businesses where our patronage is met with insult; and to plot additions and subdivisions where we may not live. It does not matter a row of plan to this writer whether Wills, and Dempsey ever meet in the roped square. That a representative Negro should engage a precious Nordic in a bout of fisticuffs concerns him but little. There are weightier things to engage the attention of Negroes nowadays. But, nevertheless, he rejoices that Wills, Negro, beat Firpo—and so decisively. He believes that the best black man is superior to the best white man, and who shall assail me for harboring this belief? Certainly not the sport writers of New York and of this country, who, almost without exception, denying all reason, propaganda mad, prejudice ridden, will tell you in apparent seriousness that Dempsey, Nordic, mauler extraordinary, could beat Wills and Firpo in the same ring on the same night. And Mr. Dempsey, we are told, resplendent in a new nose, fresh from Hollywood, walked out after the seventh round of the fight. A retiring fellow is Mr. Dempsey, "Too tame"; "nothing to it," or some such phrase, was his verdict. Let me tell a story. In my salad days I escorted a young lady, of whom I was very fond, to a concert at which she was booked to sing. She had an excellent voice, and generally acquitted herself well on the concert platform. She sang, and in mid-song, I walked out. Why? I do not know myself. As she questioned me after the concert, as I awaited her downstatics, I said, "The accompanist was rotten." No, no. Wills was all right; Firpo was all wrong. But Firpo, he had knocked Dempsey through the ropes almost a year ago that night, and Dempsey—he had a new nose. All this because of the modern hang-over from the slave reasoning, "Marae George is bound to know more than Sam because Sam is black!" The church has been too long the cradle of this inferiority doctrine and the preachments of its ministers have spread too widely the slave dictum. The pastor or priest who either openly or tacitly accepts a lower standard of morals for his people, who winks at adultery and other sex crimes, not because he believes they are right, but because he thinks they are all right for Negroes, who overlocks crime among his people and ories out, not for punishment for criminals; who periodically sells himself and his church to cheap politicians—such a man is a preacher of the doctrine of inferiority. New water the white newspapers of this country try to educate public opinion to the belief that Wills, Negro, in spite of his great strength and skill, is so match for Dempsey; that no promoter would be forgiven for bringing them together; that Wills should meet Renault or some other second-rater to be further tested. And when gray hairs appear on Harry's temples hear them call him "yellow" if he does not rush at their bidding to a battle with the white champion. It is all very amusing. Meanwmite, the fact remains that, as things stand today, fair play and a square deal will be given the Negro here or anywhere for just so long as a snowball will survive in Hades. The educator who is contented with mediocrity, who believes that some things are for white children to study and others for colored children to learn, is a teacher of slave psychology. . . . For a citizen to fail in community obligations, reasoning that "they" will do so-and-so because "we" need help, in a confession of the slave badge. In this century, to run to the other man with business, savings, troubles and illness is but more evidence of the cloud. A rich friend, a millionaire, a capitalist, presents Ramsay Macdonald, Labor Prime Minister of England, with an expensive car and donates £80,000 (140,000 American dollars) for its upkeep, and the British political situation is tense. The Labor folk of Britain are stunned. "Indiscreet but innocent," say some 'Shocking, inconceivably inconsistent,' say others. Macdonald is very poor Liberal and Conservative opponents are sympathetic. The terrible thing is not so much that a prime minister of England accepted bounty from a capitalist when in office, as that the prime minister in question has always been known to be the dire enemy of the very system which he courts, financially speaking. And a baronetcy had been given the millionaire. Other prime ministers and men, high in office, have thus been helped from the purse of the rich, even Lloyd George, of the Limehouse Speech, included. And the world approved. We just hate to see an outstanding statesman eking out an existence on a mere $25,000 a year. We must make our own destiny. The superstitions, beliefs, prejudices and methods of post-bellum days will not help us onward. Rather do they hold us back, keep us forever lower than we rightfully belong. There is a place in the sun for us. We have seen it afar off and started creeping fearfully toward it; but we shall never stride forward with the vigor and strength of manhood, to bask in the sunlight of achievement and success until we cut loose the fetters of inferiority and strive with the consciousness that we are as other men, endowed with every faculty for greatness and service. After all, give me Marcus Garvey. This leader of Negroes is poor, much poorer than Ramsey Macdonald. He leads as strenuous, if not more strenuous a life, than Macdonald, and he has no car. Many times have the people whom Garvey leads offered to give him a car, and he would not accept Kiding around in a high-powered car, he thinks, is a poor way for a leader to set his fellows an example of sacrifice. Macdonald, Lloyd George and the rest of them can learn a valuable lesson from the much-maligned Marcus." GREAT MEETING AT LIBERTY HALL, SEPTEMBER 18 GREAT MEETING AT LIBERTY HALL, SEPTEMBER 18 Garvey was right when he told the convention that the great need of the Negro was money; that, with money, he would get all he wanted. Give me money, plenty of it, and I will dine with the Prince of Wales at the Burden home next week. Let some wealthy members of the Universal Negro Improvement-Association each donate $80,000 to the general fund, and thousands of American Negroes will be working out their destiny in Liberia this fall, England, France and the Firestone Rubber Company notwithstanding. Money keeps the bootlegger in office. "Jollet for Leoapold and Loeb," said Money, and the gallows were cheated. Prince Kojo Tovalou-Houenou speaks at Liberty Half, New York, on Thursday evening, September 18, at 8:30 o'clock. Interesting program. Come one, come all. The hall will be crowded. In the United States at the present time are two princes—the Prince of Wales, Edward P.; and the Prince of Dahomey, Kojo. Wales will some day ascend the throne of England and lord it over half the world. But Kojo will ascend no throne. His royal uncle, Behani, of Dahomey, was torn from his throne in the year 1880 and exiled. Wales works not, neither does he want. Kojo works hard. Wales and Kojo arrived here within a few days of each other, the former with a small army of servants and secretaries, the latter alone. Wales on arrival had to dodge the crowd; Kojo taxed to Harlem in peace and quiet. Wales is 21; Kojo is 24. Wales graduated from Oxford; had the best of tutors, but he is no intellectual marvel. Kojo is author, editor, doctor of medicine (Paris), lawyer of the Court of Appeals (Paris), and, what is more, he is president of the League for the Defense of the Black Race. He has dedicated himself to a life of service to his race. A fine, earnest, likable, upstanding, scholarly young man is Kojo; a regular fellow is Wales. They will never meet in the United States. trip will include the New England States, Outside of New York High Highness will have a better opportunity to see the true situation of the Negro and to study conditions as they exist in their unmitigated forms, and as they tend to elevate or to debate the African abroad. But somewhere in Paris, as the story goes, those princes mpt. It was on the Mentmartre, the pleasure ground of gay Pares. Wales was doing the cabarrets, and, 'his said, made too great a demand on his vitality. He began to act in a manner—well, not altogether primacy. And Prince Koje Teakew Howeson came to his aid, ministering unto him, not as Glenn, the Cyrionian, ministered to the Man of Sorrows 1000 years ago, but as a social equal, and a physioian, and as a regular fellow. Vol I of Koje were feel enough to present himself at the Burden home on Long Island tomorrow all he would see for his pains would be—his picture in the Dalley, Nova. Wales presents POWER, MONEK. Koje's Kingdom was he only represents intellectual power. Koje on admirer of Garvey. English newspapers please copy. True to nature, and to things heard and seen; this great representative of our race will, we know, when the time comes, paint a vivid picture of "The Negro in America," from the abundant data obtained from all sources. We wish Prince Tovalon a happy and prosperous trip across the country, and trust that all of our divisions will extend a hearty welcome to this royal visitor on his simple, but august arrival in their midst. NEW YORK DIVISION OF U. N. I. A KEEPS PLACE AS PREMIER BRANCH, AS IT CONTRIBUTES LIBERALLY FOR STEAMSHIP THOUSANDS CROWD LIBERTY HALL AND GET INSPIRATION FROM THE FOUNTAIN HEAD Hon. G. E. Carter Calls for Rally to the Colors With Finances-Hon. Van Lowe Says Remedy for Troubles Lies Within the Negro LIBERTY HALL, New York, Sunday Night, Sept. 14.—With a full sense of their responsibility to the cause of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and the imperativeness of putting over the steamship proposition of the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Co., as a means toward the fulfillment of the program of the organization, the members and friends of the New York local assembled in thousands tonight and played their part well by contributing liberally, with loans and donations for the purpose of enabling the executive body to discharge its contractual obligations in regard to the ship recently purchased. It was an enthusiastic meeting and gave evidence of the fact that the followers of the Universal Negro Improvement Association will not falter in their loyalty even without the inspiring presence of Hon. Marcus Garvey. The meeting opened in the usual way with a musical program by the band and the choir, after which the chairman, Hon. G. E. Carter, in a brief but appropriate address, welcomed the audience and emphasized the necessity of discharging on the following day the obligations incurred in regard to the ship of the Black Cross Navigation Co. He reminded them of the efforts being made by the enemy to bring about the failure of the organization and appealed to the members to do their part with a view of disappointing the enemies and averting the failure which had been predicted. The chairman's appeal met with a ready response and as the meeting proceeded, the secretary's table was swamped with persons coming forward either to take out new bonds or to pay up on bonds already contracted for. The remaining speakers were: Hon. Sir F. Levi Lord, auditor general; Hon. P. L. Burrows, first assistant secretary general, and Hon. Milton Van Lowe of Dettrout. Over 5000 Cans Sold Every Day! Following is the text of the speeches: HON. LEVI LORD'S ADDRESS Sir Levi Lord, auditor-general, was the first speaker. He said: Tonight I am going to present to you four types of leadership, and shall ask you which of the four types of leadership you are desirous of following. The first type of leadership is as follows: 'The man who knows not and knows not that he knows not, he is a fool, avoid him." That is one type of leadership that the Negro has to combat. There is a class of people trying to lead and who are desires of having some persons or group of persons follow them, without any qualification whatever. That type you should avoid. Then the second type: "The man who knows, and knows not that he knows, he is 'asleep, wake him.' You could not risk to follow such a man. Irrespective of the fact that he knows, he does not possess the qualification for leadership, and is a dangerous man to follow, because he might talk in his sleep. (Laughter). The Type to Follow Another type of leadership is the man who knows not and knows that he knows not and who should be taught. That sort of man is also not qualified to lead, and we are now teaching him. I come to the final type of leadership: "The man who knows and knows that he knows. He is wise, follow him." Such a type of man I present in the person of the Hon. Marcus Garvey, the founder of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. (Applause). I am sincerely convinced that he is a man who knows and who applies his knowledge. He is a man whose faculties are well developed for leadership, and he is just the type of man who should be followed. The eyes of our enemies are upon us, and if we do not act and act quickly and tangibly, I am, afraid the enemies will have their plans carried out. But I cast my doubts and fears away because I have confidence in the type of persons who comprise the Universal Negro Improvement Association and believe with all my heart that we will put the program over and put the enemy to rout. Putting the Program Over At this time our attention is confined to a particular part of the program, the commercial division of the program. And the question comes to my mind. "Why is it that the Negro should strive to become a powerful factor in the commercial world?" And the answer is brief. The primary reason why the Negro should try to become a powerful factor in the commercial world is because it offers the widest and greatest avenue of financial acquisition and financial independence. And who is it that does not want to acquire wealth? Who is it that does not want to become financially independent? Show me the man who regards wealth as a crime, who would run from the dollar, and I'll show you the man who is destruous of being buried alive. Dollars today count to the Universal Negro Improvement Association. And perhaps you could find a man who would run from money, because we have a peculiar type of Negro still existing. I am reminded of this story: A Jew once had a large number of notes—$5, $10, $20 and $60 bills—and he thrust his hands in his pockets and said to a Negro: "If I were to give you all this money in my pockets, what would you do?" And the Negro replied: "I would die." (Laughter) The Jew, with his hands back in his pockets, saying: "I will save your life." Tonight we have before us a serious program. We have to do our bit in the interests of the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company, and I hope every man and woman is prepared to play his part. There are some Negroes, unfortunately, who would welcome the failure of the Universal Negro Improvement Association with as much satisfaction as they would welcome any great accomplishment on the part of the race. Some people seem to register emphatic approval of every failure on the part of the Negro to better his condition, and I really cannot understand what these Negroes are thinking of. They do not seem to realize that if the Universal Negro Improvement Association goes up, they also go up; and if the Universal Negro Improvement Association goes down, they also go down. But some day, not far distant, they will realize that it is their duty to help and assist the Universal Negro Improvement Association, or be sunk into oblivion forever. The speaker ended with a stirring appeal to the audience. To purchase bonds in the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company. HON. P. L: BURROWS SPEAKS Hon. P. L. Burrows, first assistant secretary-general, was the next speaker. He referred to the condition of world affairs today and told his hearers if they would but study the world tangle, they would soon find out the reason for the determined effort of the Universal Negro Improvement Association at this time to carry on at all costs. The world was not watching the Negro very closely paying him very much attention, because the world realized that the Negro had nothing which they were bound to respect. It was for Negroes, therefore, to join hands and hearts and place themselves, while they still had the opportunity, in a position in which they could demand the respect of the world. The destiny of the Negro race was at stake, and it was the duty of Negroes to show the world what they could do. Those who could do, yet refrained from doing, would find in the long run that they would have a very hard time with their consciences. HON. G. E. CARTER'S AFFEAL Hon. G. E. Carter, Secretary-General, confined his attention to an appeal for support of the Black Crogs Navigation and Trading Company. He knew, he said, that there were thousands of Negroes in the world today who would thrill at sight of the unfurling of the Stars and Stripes, of the Union Jack of Britain, of the tri-color of France. He knew that the rank and file of the Universal Negro Improvement Association would justly thrill with pride at the unfurling of the Stripes and lone Star, the flag of Liberia, but there was yet another symbol he wanted to call their attention to—the symbol of a new hope and new aspiration of an awakened people marching forward, determined not to stop until they have achieved the one thing they have longed and prayed for, the redemption of their motherland, Africa. That symbol was the Red, the Black and the Green, which had come into existence only five short years ago, and around which Negroes rallied in the most an enthusiastic manner known to history. He then appealed to the audience to rally to the colors, and station members of the legions in either King of the hall, holding outstretched the colors of the association, invited the assembly to make a free will offering, depositing same on the flies. A splendid response was given. HON. MILTON VAN LOWE SPEAKS "Gives us free scops, only doth back ward pull. "Our slow design when we ourselves are dull." The Remedy in Ourselves My friends, the world is not new. This world today is 1924 years away from the birth of Christ. It articulated that by hundreds and thousands, yea, millions of years, and as old as the world is you cannot find anywhere in its history where the ills of a people were remedied by any other people but by that people or nation or race. What ever ills befall you whatever misfortune may come into your way, whatever difficulties that you may encounter, there is a remedy, but that remedy is in yourselves. If you have misfortune you cannot expect the Germans to remedy them for you. If you have trouble you cannot expect the English to remedy it for you. If you have woes and countless difficulties of all kinds you cannot expect the Austrian or the Serbian or the Roumanian or the Belgian to remedy them for you. You must remedy those ills yourselves because the remedy is in yourselves. This should not be anything strange, because in all of the rainified paths of human progress, all through the labyrinth of human endeavor you find that all races, all nations, all peoples had their difficulties; they had their woes; they had their griefs, they had their pains and every one of those people did not wait, until other, people came to remedy their ills for; them; they could not go to their neighbors to remedy those ills; there was a remedy, there was a balm, there was something that could remedy those difficulties, those pains; those woes, and the remedy—in accordance with Shakespeare—was in themselves.

But when men sit down and concentrate and see the ill, they come to themselves and find within themselves the remedy. Unity Is the Remedy Since that Is so of other races and peoples and nations, my friends, it is absolutely true of us of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and of the entire Negro race. What is the remedy that we can find for our ills? The remedy that we can find and must find is unity; the phalanxing of our moneys and of our resources both intellectually, spiritually, morally into one common united whole with a fixed determination, with a firm principle before us that since others have been able to find a remedy within themselves, so also must the Negro race find and use that remedy which is in itself; that power which will bring to them all the things that have given to other peoples glory, honor and power. Some time ago, when England was staying over there in the North Sea she gaw that there was nothing at all she could do apparently. There were countless ils, there were many difficulties; she had to find a remedy; she could not go to her other brothers so to speak—the other nations, because they themselves were suffering from their own internal strife and their own difficulties and their wants. She had to find a remedy to satisfy her hunger—the hunger of the Englishman. We found them branching, in different parts of the West Indies, we found them over in Africa; we found them over in India, and there they got the things that were necessary to satisfy the wants of Englishmen. That was the remedy that they found within themselves; within the brains of their own race; within the brains of their advanced men, because if that remedy could not be found within themselves it could not be found anywhere else. We found the little Belgians over there in Europe. Belgium became so insignificant; Belgium having nothing, so to speak, to support herself, she set out to go into Africa, and as a result of her endeavors she was able to bring enough to support and to maintain and keep up Belgium. Why? Because in their brains they found that稍弱 that was able to bring to them the sustenance of life. We Please send me your Society Face Question.

Must Do as Others Have Done We, as a race, must positively do as other people have done. Search within in ourselves, and as Shakespeare said, within ourselves we will find that remedy; and we ourselves will be free as the result of the remedy that we have found within us. We cannot leave these things to God alone, my friends, because when God made the world and put all the things in the world and man, he said unto man "I have given these dominion and power over the fowl of the air, the fish of the sea, over the herbs, the weeds, the vegetables, the wood, all the minerals and everything in the world. I have placed at your disposal, you have absolute power over them." Now, when we have trouble and tribulations, whom can, we blame? We must blame ourselves, because in ourselves lies the remedy that will cure our misfortune. Therefore, since God has given us such power; since God has given all these to us, why should we appeal to others for a remedy? It is up to us to find within ourselves that remedy, that power, that will ameliorate our deplorable condition. It is up to us to so work that we will bring something out of our efforts as others have done and have made themselves and their posterity happy. We must do it; because the path that great men have trod, we ourselves must trend; the things that great men have done, we ourselves must do; the things that other men have accomplished and brought to their race recognition and independence, it is up to us to do the same things. How the Jew Rose Allow me to remind you of something that you know quite well. Do you know that the Jew was once looked down upon with shame and contempt and a certain amount of aversion, as is done with us today? But what happened? The Jew began to think; the Jew began to look around for a remedy; they could not find a remedy from the hands of the Gentile; they all got together and they united and they found within themselves the remedy by uniting their brains, uniting their money, uniting their all into one grand determination to bring to themselves that process that power, that wealth that today put them upon the high pinnacle of independence of industrial, commercial and economic power. That was a remedy that was within themselves. 'There can be no argument to disprove the fact that "our remedies oft in ourselves do la." All the little setbacks—all the things that often happen to us, we can trace the cause to ourselves, and if we were to look into ourselves we will find that we were guilty of some act of commission which has placed us in the untenable position in which we find ourselves. But the intelligent, patriotic race-loving, noble hearted Negro is striving day by day and hour after hour to place the race upon the high plane of racial progress. ```markdown ``` If You Have Rheumatism Cut This Out 75c Box Free to Any Sufferer Those shocking pain, dull aches and painful joints which do not vanish by themselves.

THEODORE STEPHENS French Editor BUSTON R. MATHEWS Business Manager The Negro World does not knowingly accept questionable or fraudulent advertising.

They not only enable all of the children of the Republic to get the rudiments of education, but they feed the schools of higher learning in which thorough preparation for the hard realities of life is mastered. All the schools began to open for work during the last week and, by the beginning of October all the schools of the country will be in active operation. We should all be grateful for the advantages of education that are free to all in a measure and at small cost in the larger measure. The masses.get-free education at their own expense withal; that is, the parents who are taxpayers, provide it, while the exceptional few are able and willing to pay for the larger training. The eager earnestness with which Negro children attend the public schools and the youths and maidens take advantage of the opportunities offered by the academies, colleges and universities to perfect their education after leaving the public schools, has been one of the gratifying things in the life of the race ever since emancipation became a fact more than fifty years ago. Our own schools of higher education are all well attended, and we have a very large number of such schools, and large numbers attend white colleges and universities. Every year we are turning out a larger and larger number of people with finished education and thorough preparation for the work of the better and higher life of the race. These people are now making a splendid impression in every community in the land—in industry, in school work, in business, in the church, in literature and music, in the sciences and arts. Yes; the school days have begun again, after a period of vacation, and it is a fair conclusion from the record of the past that our young folks will make the most of their advantages during the school year. They are alive to the value of education, and those who are not are being taught by precept and example. What a great and virgin work lies before them! We need educated workers everywhere any number of the race are to be found; we need them in all of the departments of thought and effort that make for character, strength and power. So, let us be gratified that the school days have begun again. They promise a rich harvest of educated people, and the race needs them. COLONIZATION WITHIN THE UNITED STATES THERE is a shadowy belief among some that the Universal Negro Improvement Association will abandon its purpose to build a Negro State in Africa and help to redeem Africa from white domination and exploitation, but nothing could be further from the truth. There is an undying sentiment underlying the purpose that appeals to the Negro everywhere. When it is not his desire to return to the fatherland he still wants to help in the building of a Negro State in Africa and give Africa for the Africans. The sentiment is well nigh general. If we cannot get a foothold in Liberia, on the West Coast, we shall ultimately get a foothold on some other coast of the continent. As for abandoning the repatriation idea because of the unfortunate complications that have arisen in the Liberia plans, we say, Never! We shall continue to stimulate interest within and without the continent for the moral, civil and economic freedom and welfare of the African people. They will long need this outside encouragement and assistance to carry forward the work of redemption which has already been begun. It may be noted with interest that Negro church denominations in the United States have never given more intelligently and generously for the support of mission work in Africa than at this time, and they have adopted an industrial educational plan which is bound to have far-reaching influence for good among the natives. This work will go on with increased interest in the churches of the United States, and will enlarge the spiritual life of the people as well as give them the proper lead in their economic life. And we all need more of these things than we have. In fact, the Negro nowhere appears to have a proper understanding of his spiritual and economic values. It is for our civic organizations to supplement the work of our churches in spreading the doctrine of self-help among the African people, and the Universal Negro Improvement Association will continue to lead in this work in the future as in the past. Basing the suggestion upon the misunderstandings that have scised over the Liberian colonization plans of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, the Buffalo American says: Will he do it? Mr. Garvey should direct his attention to the colonization of a section of this country to work out his ideas. America offers him a special opportunity to do much good. If he then he will find many supporters who believe that he can accom- THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1984 plish more good than any other. Mr. Garvey should be advised to this idea by his many lieutenants and trusted friends." The idea is not a new one. Will the American point out for us any section of this country that the United States Government could set aside for Negro colonization? We know of no such section that could be devoted to the purposes of a Negro State. To colonize in any existing State would not give us self-governing rights any more than they have it at Mound Bayou, which, although a Negro colony and development, is still subject to the laws of Mississippi and the administration of the laws by the county authorities of Bolivar. They govern their community, it is true, and they have more freedom and opportunity than the Negroes in any other part of Mississippi; yet, we noticed that there are not more than 150,000 Negroes within the influence of the colony which could easily support 500,000 people. Why don't the dissatisfied Negroes in the other counties of Mississippi locate in the Mound Bayou district? They could not say themselves; they go rather to Chicago and other places away from Mound Bayou. It would be the same with any other colony of Negroes in the United States—it would still be under white government and administration. BLACKS OF AUSTRALIA ENSLAVED AND BRUTALIZED CHRISTIAN mankind should be interested in the exposure of the enslavement and brutalization of the black natives of Australia. of the enslavement and brutalization of the black natives of Australia by the British authorities and those protected by them, as shown by the investigations of the Labor Daily and the Workers' Weekly of Sydney, New South Wales, especially in the mandated territory of New Guinea. The Australian government, of Premier Bruce, is severely arraigned for its treatment of the white and black workers by the Labor and Communist organizations, which are making a splendid fight to reconstruct the social order so that justice, economic and civic, may be more evenly distributed among all of the people and not exclusively among a few white capitalists and office holders with whom they work in sympathy. We republish in another column of The Negro World an article from the Workers' Weekly of Sydney which shows in a measure that the disastrous conditions that obtain in Australia are common throughout the British Commonwealth of Nations and have their bases in the domination and exploitation of white and black labor alike. Our Western Indian and African newspapers bear out this view of the matter, and make for a revolutionary condition of affairs which is more premonitory in India, perhaps, than in any other part of the British. Dominions, and which is liable to make itself felt in an explosion at any time anywhere in the British Dominions. It is a significant fact that in Australia and India as well as in Africa, the white labor and Communist organizations have about reached the conclusion that they can make no headway unless black labor is placed on equality with white labor, and that black labor must have more self-determination in the citizenship in order to protect itself and its interests from low wages and bad conditions of living arbitrarily fixed by Government laws and the selfish interests of the employing exploiters. This is a very great step forward and should result in better conditions after a while, as the leaven works in the whole. Everywhere the black man is beginning to do his own thinking, to demand more participation in his government, more economic justice, and better conditions of living. The Universal Negro Improvement Association during the past five years has blazed the trail for him, and he is following the trail. We do not think he will turn back. He has nothing to lose and everything to gain by pushing forward, whatever the obstacles he may encounter. AUTOMOBILES AND THE SEGREGATION PROBLEM during the recent meeting of the Masons and Elks in the City of Smoke and other things, thousands of the Fratres came from all parts of the country in their high-powered automobiles, and that, further, in the Southern States, where the race has so much annoyance to encounter in railroad travel and getting about on the surface cars, Negroes who can afford it have their automobiles in order to escape the annoyance. We have noticed the same thing at large gatherings in the North and West, and in the cities of the South. It is a good but often costly way to escape from the abuses we are subject to in using public conveyances. It is not conceivable that such a bad condition will always exist. As if to emphasize the fact that such a condition is doomed in the long run, it is pointed out by the American that the very general use of the automobile in the South by Negroes is having a hurtful effect on the revenues of the railroads. This is possible, and it will grow to be more so. And we understand that the railroads are also suffering because of a falling off in the excursion habit which used to flourish in the South so generally. The ugly regulations and attitude of the railroad officials have made excursions less popular than they used to be, and that is as it should be. The jim-crow abominations and horrors in Southern travel have got to go, and will go. Let us use all the weapons we can command to help them to go. HEALTH TOPICS By Dr. B. S. HERBEN of the New York Tuberculosis Aas'n "Foci of Infection" Here is a silk phrase which is being handled about by doctors and dentists and those who have learned the meaning of the words. Let us examine it and see for what it stands. The word "foil" is the plural of the word focus, which means "place." A focus of infection is a place in which germs are congregated. In that place they are living, feeding on the tissues and pouring out their waste products, which are polysone and which are called "toxins." In this focus they are multiplying at a rate so rapid that their numbers are scarcely to be imagined. Whenever there is a focus of infection, then, there is a local destruction of the tissues at this place for bacteria "eat it away." The pus which is formed in the place is made up of dead bacteria and live bacteria, waste products or toxins and the remnants of the tissue. Pus does not stay in one place unless it is walled up in an area which has no outlet, for pus is fluid and will push its stream along if it gets the chance. Therefore, a focus of infection is dangerous for two reasons: First, that it is a localized area in which good and useful tissue is being destroyed and made useless; secondly, that the poisonous products and live germs are being thrown into other areas. What are the dangers? Defending upon the place in which the germs are gathered, the local destruction is serious or not serious. Depending upon the amount of poison thrown into the rest of the body and its destination, the further damage to the body may be grave or of minor importance. What are some of the favorite places for germs to congregate? Perhaps the most likely place is the mouth, for it is accessible, and has many unclean spots in which to start working and feeding. The teeth and the tonsile are more often than not just such foci of infection as we have been discussing. There may be others in the nose, throat, ears, lungs, appendix, joints, intestines etc. Allowing infected-foct to remain un-touched means that there is a constant stream of poisons being absorbed. Pue may be poured into the stomach from the mouth, and it may be absorbed directly into the blood stream, either from the mouth or stomach as well as from other places to which the poisonous material has traveled. What is happiness? Happiness I have discovered is nearly always a rebound from hard work. Happiness loves to see men at work. She loves self-sacrifice. She will be found not in palaces, but lurking in corn fields and factories and hovering over littered desks. She crowns the unconscious head of the busy child. If you look up suddenly from hard work you will see her, but if you look too long the fades sorrowfully away. → Tamra. Bulletin. EDITORIAL OPINION OF THE NEGRO PRESS EDITOR'S MAIL BAG CONTAINS SOME QUEER FISH. By T. Thomas Fortune A great many people have an idea that editors of newspapers are not human. Just what sort of creatures they imagine them to be is not always easy to determine. I have been associated with and an editor of newspapers for more than forty-five years. I began as "devil" in the composing room of a white newspaper at Marianna, Florida, even longer back than that. I like the newspaper game, and that is the reason why I have stuck to it through good report and evil. I think we get more pleasure out of life when we can work at the trade or profession or business or what not for which we have an innate liking. When we are forced to work or work at something that is distasteful all the pleasure of working is destroyed. Much inferior work is placed on sale because of this fact. I have not only done the work of an editor but the work of a journalist, and I think I am some of both, and not perfect in either. The good poet says: "He hopes a perfect thing to see hopes what neer was nor is nor ever shall be." And he might as well hunt for a needle in a haystack as hunt for a perfect man. Nearly every department of a newspaper has an editor but all of the editors are not journalists. They are only capable of doing the work over which they are placed. A journalist is capable of doing the work of any department and of judging of the work of all of the editors. But he is generally styled "the editor." I have not found the editor to be less human than other people. Sometimes I think he is more human than the average. Because he has to edit all sorts of "copy," all sorts of articles, and can only accept a few, the others being deficient in some one essential that makes it necessary to reject them, those who fail make up their mind that the editor is prejudiced, or incapable of holding down his job, and they are not slow to read the riot act to and about the editor. But. I venture, it hurts the editor to reject an article as much as it does the writer of it to have it rejected. I have found it so. Yes; the editor's mail bag contains some queer fish. I was once a young writer myself, and I could not understand how any editor could reject the articles and poems I sent him and which I thought were the very best ever. It was a long time after before I came to understand and appreciate the editor's viewpoint. He has not only to protect his reputation in considering an article but the reputation Gen Dawes was shamelessly cowardly when he praised the Klan as representing "only an instinctive groping for leadership, moving in the interest of law enforcement." The Klan is praising the acceptance speech of the President and that of General Dawes in Maine. With the President's endorsement of the Klan by his silence and the open endorsement of General Dawes, it is readily seen why the Dyer Bill has failed in a Congress overwhelmingly Republican, Klan-endorsed and Klan-controlled Republicans would not pass it. Now they are out asking the Negro to vote the Republican ticket for what Lincoln did for the race. They cannot ask for the support of the colored voter on the record of the present administration and the colored voter is not dealing in ancient history this year. He wants relief for himself and his family in the present and near future. Some of our race journals beat the band telling how great they are, instead of demonstrating and allowing the people to pass upon their greatness—California Eagle. We admonish the young Negro boy and girl to educate both mind and body. Successful competition exerts every sacrifice our mothers and fathers are able to make. We must produce a race of thinkers. In the past we have been, doing the drudgery which the thinkers of other races have discarded as our heritage. -Pittsburgh American. Buffiness growth is our business, and we cannot do too much in any place his individuals or as groups to aid on the good work. It is the only way to make for ourselves the place in American life to which we are justly entitled. Wealth properly accumulated and wisely used for living and developing purposes, is the greatest power in modern life. Wealth can create nothing but it gives to those who create and wisely use it an advantage which can not be over estimated. The face is beginning to understand this crucial fact and is being benefitted accordingly. Norfolk Journal and Guide. We must emancipate our soul from the white man's coercive system. If we WHAT WE BELIEVE THE Universal Negro Improvement Association advocates the uniting and blending of all Negroes into one strong healthy race. It is against miscegenation and race suicide. It believes that the Negro race is as good as any other, and therefore should be as proud of itself as others are. It believes in the purity of the Negro race and the purity of the white race. It is against rich blacks marrying poor whites. It is against rich or poor whites taking advantage of Negro women. It believes in the spiritual Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man. It believes in the social and political physical separation of all people to the extent that they promote their own ideals and civilization, with the privilege of trading and doing business with each other. It believes in the promotion of a strong and powerful Negro nation. It believes in the rights of all men. UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSN. MARCUS GARVEY, President-General January 1, 1924. of the author. If the article or poem is defective in subject, substance or composition the publication of it injures the editor as much as it does the author. But young authors and some old ones do not see it in that light and get offended when their errors are pointed out to them, and, because this is so, most editors refuse to explain why they do not accept articles. Then the authors think they are slighted, when the purpose is only to protect their reputation and keep from hurting their feelings. Editors are always, on the lookout for good articles and poems, and do not allow any such that are good to escape them. Keep this in mind when your article does not appear and you blame the editor instead of yourself and sometimes write him abusive letters.

Christianity Not What It "Jesus is really stranger to us than to the plious Moslem of today," says W. K. Stewart, the eminent scholar of German literature, making in the September Century the first analysis in English of Oswald Spengler's startling perspective of history. "The Decline of Western Culture." "Between 300 B. C.," writes Mr. Stewart, "and A. D. 600, a new soul came into being in Western Asia, with a new style of existence, to use one of Spengler's stock phrases. It is marked by a walter of religions, which seem superficially to make it diversified, but which on examination reveals a remarkable unity. Among these religions is Christianity, which Spengler believes is an entirely different thing in our culture than it was originally. We have taken over the terms, but the meanings have been utterly changed, and necessarily so. Christianity, in fact, has had two great periods of spiritual activity. The first was from the beginning of our era to A. D. 500, in the East; the second was from A. D. 1000 to 1500 in the West. Two wholly distinct religions are involved which merely use the same terms. It was not the Christian sermon, but the Christian martyr, who conquered the world, and he owed his power to do this not to his doctrine, but to the example of the man on the cross." As to the forerunner of Christianity, Hebralism, Stewart says that it is Spengler's conviction that the Jews never developed a full-fledged independent culture. He intimates rather contemptuously that the idea of the Jews that they were the chosen people was a sort of protective device, a defense against an inferiority complex. Battered about as they were from pillow to post, they had to find some inner counterpoise in order to keep their self-respect. Just at present, when the United States is suffering from a bad attack of indifference to politics and an epidemic of shoulder shrugging toward government, it behooves us to read the excellent advice Benedetto Crane gives in his discourse "On Disgust with Politics," in the September Century. Egyptian Chief Insists Upon Control of Sudan PARIS, Sept. 8—Zaghoul Pashi premier of Egypt, who is, now taking the cure at Vichy, announced today that he is going to London at the invitation of Prime Minister MacDonald to discuss Egyptian and Sudan problems. Zaghoul, who came to Europe to attend the London conference and the league of nations, maintained that a long discussion of Egypt's difficulties was inopportune. Therefore, especially under the influence of the strong Egyptian demand for the freedom of the Sudan since the trouble there some weeks ago. Zaghoul decided to return to Cali immediately. He engaged passage from Marselleles for Sept. 14, but Prime Minister MacDonald, on hearing this made a representation to the Egyptian leader to come to London. Today Zaghloul makes it clear that he has no intention of surrendering Egypt's claim to the Sudan and that furthermore he intends to insist on complete evacuation of Egypt by the British troops, which are maintained there despite the agreement which Egypt its independence.

Negro Heavyweight Satisfies Himself With Punishing Argentine "Wild Bull" at Will Harry Wills beat Lulu Angel Firpo last night, and enjoyed it. Indeed, the big Negro fighter's obvious delight in punching the Argentine may have accounted for the fact that the bout at Boyle's Thirty Acres in Jersey City went the full twelve rounds. And they were dreary rounds. Firpo could not hit Wills. He did not land more than half a dozen punches. Wills could and did hit Firpo as he liked, but they were punishing and not finishing blows. In the second round Wills swung a right to Firpo's jaw as they came out of a pinch, and the "Wild Bull" went down hard. He landed on his back, and was there for seven seconds. Never again in the entire fight did a knock-out seem imminent. With his man up and groggy, Wills seemed seized with a curious hesitancy. He did not increase his pace or mouse himself up to any blazing fury. Licking Firpo was just a job to Wills. He 'LOST VIGOR RESTORED IN 24 HOURS' "Glinda Awakened in One Day" Is the Amazing Statement of a Seventy-six-Year-Old Veteran. Lost vigor, deadened glands and nerves, and that weak, worn-out, depressed and half-alive feeling need not be dreaded any longer since the discovery of a well-known chemist. Now it is possible for those who feel "prematurely old" to become "rejuvenated" with vigor, and "strength" to often in a day's time, with Mando Formula, is the amazing statement of one who has taken the treatment. This famous discovery is bringing "renewed youth" and "strength" to thousands where everything else had failed. "I want to say that my 'lost vigor' was restored and 'glanda renewed' in twenty-four hours," says D. B. Peake of Kansas City Mo. "Today I am 76, but I don't feel a day over 40. Before I started taking the treatment, I felt I was an old, a remarkable 'glanda restoration' and am convinced my 'rejuvenation' is complete and permanent. May God's blessing rest on the discoverer of such a boon to humanity." This wonderful formula, prepared by one of the largest laboratories in the world and generally known as Mando, is easily used at home and seems to work like magic in its tap. City on people' s hands. No matter how bad your condition, no matter what your age or occupation, no matter what you have tried, if you are lacking in "vigor" and the "vital force of youth" we are so confident Mando Formula will restore you that we offer to send a large $5.50 bottle for only $1.95 on 10 days' free trial. If the results are not satisfactory and you are not satisfied in every way, it costs you nothing. Send no money—just your name and address to F. L. Carlin, 606 Baltimore Bldg. Kansas City, Mo., and the treatment will be mailed at once. Use it according to the simple directions. If at the end of the 10 days you are not showing "wonderful improvement" and repromotion, just send it back and ask for a question. This offer is fully guaranteed so write today and give this "remarkable formula" a trial. plugged away at it as if he had been engaged in toasting craies on a dock. Willa Punchea Rhythmically Wills punches impatiently. There was the same steady rhythm. Every five seconds the big black man reached out and hit Firpo resoundingly on the kidneys. It seemed as if he must dig a trench there, and, indeed, by the final round the skin of Firpo blazed a red outline of Harry's glove. As Wills swung the fail, he grinned and was happy. To him this Latin-American seemed to stand as a symbol of the oppressive Nordic. And perhaps old scores, chalked down into the race memory of Wills on slave ships and in cotton fields, were wiped away last night. There was in Wills no powerful, buried urge to end the state of affairs. It was more to him to punch white skin and see it turn red. Obviously, the Negro heavyweight had a sense of power and sufficiency which was not hips until the bell rang. He reigned as tyrant while the fight was on, and why should he wish to have it done with? Willa Realizes Mastery In Willis a palpable change took place once he had awung and landed the first blow. Sitting in his corner before the fight began, the Negro was ill at ease. He looked fixedly at his shoes. He molstened his lips continually and they remained dry. The bell rang. Up stood Harry Willis, as fine a figure as a sculptor ever dreamed of. His muscles ripped like water after a stone is thrown. His hand darted into the face of Firpo. Willis aided the mighty right of Firpo and pulled it down. He knew at that moment that mastery was his, and so he began to play and linger with his power. By now the lips of Willis were no longer dry. He smiled through twelve rounds and once or twice the smile became a sneer. For a long time Wills had waited for this fight, and he was not in any hurry. Firpo objected to many of the blows which were delivered in the clinches, although the referee ruled them to be fair. Partly in protest and partly in pain, Lulls cried out again and again "Hey!" as the black fall landed on the blazing skin above his kidneys. And when Firpo cried out, the grin of Wills was broader. Knock, knock, knock. So it went for twelve rounds, as the blows of Wills flashed through the air and thudded on the back of the white man. It seemed as if the Negro was knocking at a closed door. And, though he never ceased his batting, the door would not swing open. There need he no question of the courage of Firpo. He weathered a dreadful time in the second round, when Wills floored him. Luis was not looking for the blow. It came almost with the break, though the experts said the men were clear at the time and that the punch, was fair. Firpo held until his head was clear and then danced about a bit to shake off the vapors. Mostly Clutched on Pinches After that second round, the bout was almost wholly without incident. It is never very thrilling to see a man punched on the kidneys, and after the two or three hundredth time the blow faded it became as monotonous as an exhibition of nail driving. But though he flinched and cried out he buried itself in the flesh of Firpo. It came away again each time to flash Some of the trainees said Firpo was not in the best of condition, but it seemed to me as if some sort of steel must have been about his waist, for though he finished and cried out, he kept coming in at Wills. The long right arm swing of the Argentine came round slower and slower, as the fight went on, and it was never, even at the beginning, fast enough to land on the polished bronze figure, who slipped this way and that in front of the man from the Pampa. Even when the glove of Firpo touched Wills, it seemed to glance off. Mostly the men were tightly locked in clinches, and at such times Wills could swing Firpo round and round as he pleased. Probably World's Worst Fight This must have been the world's worst fight. Harry Willis was the only man who enjoyed it. Even Jack Dempsey grew bored, although he knew one of the principal characters in the show and should have been interested. He walked out on the performance at the end of the seventh round. And, come to think of it, Dempsey's new nose is not much of a success, either. It has been transformed from Roman to Greek, but the translation is free. The new nose does not in any way match with the rest of Dempsey's features. The Prince of Wales was not to be seen anywhere. That he had not attended the bout was the positive statement made to newspaper men by Major Oscar N. Solbert, attached as American side to the Prince's party, and Louis E. Stoddard, chairman of the United States Polo Association. The original plans were to have the Prince accompany Stoddard to the bout. Police Arrangements Fine Although the crowd was close to 60, 000 and rather late in arriving at the bowl, the police arrangements by the Jersey City Department were as perfect that all were seated with a minimum of congestion. There was some awaying and tiptoeing when Jack Dempsey appeased, but the bluecoats always had things in control. Mayor Frank Hague, profiling by the experience of two other great affairs in the arena, had all lines laid, both police and fire, so that the crowd was taken care of most efficiently, and he deserves the praise that was showed on him last night. But there could be no complaint about the weather. A big moon perched over the ring to please the hacked-in patrons of Tex Kickard. It must have been on such a night that Lula Firpo first met Blanca Lourdes Picart. And at least one satisfaction must have come to Louis in this meeting with Willa. By now he can hardly fall to realize that there is at least one man in America even more persistently annoying than Canon Chase. WE SHOULD HAVE TWENTY MEMBERS OF THE CONGRESS From the Boston Chronicle This motto has always been the policy of rulers and big business so that they could continue their rule and hold the whip hand in communities where they are outnumbered by the natives or striking workmen. There are always selfish, individuals, however, who seek to attain their ends to the detriment of the group, whose motives are actuated by private gain and, perhaps, by sheer cussedness, whose tendencies lean towards destructive rather than constructive efforts, and who are gleeful when they can monkey wrench the machinery. Thus we find England holding on to India by setting the natives at odds against each other and capital ever holding the whip hand against labor because of the venality of a few of labor's officers who are on the alert for graft and forge the mass they serve. This entering wedge is very potent and creates discussions which have weakened many an organization whose position was considered impregnable. Negroes in the United States have had no racial representation in Congress for the past twenty-five years. The last Negro representative was George H. White, of North Carolina, who served in the 55th and 56th Congress. At the coming election in New York there are several Negroes in the line-up for nomination for Congress, but only one will be selected. Will his opponents rally to him and aid his campaign, or will the right, thinking colored people allow this opportunity to go by the board? There should be not less than 20 Negroes in Congress. It is up to New York with her 200,000 Negroes, to show the way. One strong Negro representative in Congress is more effective than several interested white representatives. In Ward 13, Boston, the opportunity to elect a representative has presented itself on many occasions. It has not been seized. Now that there are suggestions that the ward be gerrymandered protesters are heard. This may be the last chance to make one big rally and put a man over. If the voters will unite and disregard the sycophantic pleading of the tools, who create dissension it should be easy to elect a representative. SEGREGATION BY CAPITALISTS IN SOUTH AFRICA Government Policy fo Enslave and Exploit Native Labor — 120,000 Against 1,000,000 Blacks in Death Struggle Just Begun WHITE AND BLACK LABOR From the SouthernBourg International "Segregation," which has been on the South African Labor Party program for a dozen years, has of late been taken up by the Nationalists, and is now propounded as government policy. What do these parties' supporters mean by it? For this, and not any professor's "idealistic" formulation of what they ought to mean by it, is what we must consider when saying we are for or against segregation. It is the controlling elements of the parties concerned that will dictate the kind of segregation. Landowners' Segregation The agarian element are disquited at an increasing "encroachment" of natives on the land. "The blacks are and should be a holot race, and cheap laborers and servants," they say, "and cannot be allowed to blossom into landowners or to acquire the white man's land; why, we have not even got enough land for ourselves. If they must have land, let it be, as little as possible, in a part of the country by themselves, and the worst rather than the best." That is the spirit of Nationalist, not to say S. A. F. segregation. It is shared not only by landowners but by landless bywoners who want land, can think of getting it only at the expense of the natives and not of the white land monopolists, although these in their turn only exploit the bywoners' poverty, cheap native labor entails. It is that spirit that brought to nought the efforts of the Beaumont Commission under the Natives Land Act. It will undoubtedly inspire any legislation the government may attempt to introduce on the subject. (The fate of the largeliter who sought to segregate themselves on land the whites did not want them to have is illuminating.) White Workera' Segregation The white workers are interested in a different, in fact a contrary, sort of segregation. They are little concerned with landowning or cheap labor for landowners. "Down with cheap labor," is their cry, "but it out of the way, on the land, anywhere you like, but not in industries, or at least not in skilled or semi-skilled occupations"; and Mr. Tleiman Roos has actually proposed legislation to allow natives out of their segregation areas for unskilled work only. But who really thinks that native labor can or will be penned up like that. The line between skilled and unskilled or even between white and black as laborers, does not interest the controlling elements of the Nationalist Party still less the ruling class as a whole. Besides, it is not just native employment on a few specified jobs, but the whole existence of a slave labor caste that is undermining the white workers, and any segregation scheme likely to be passed will only perpetuate the slave system and encourage the flooding of the market with cheap labor. If the natives are "segregated," the effect will only be that native labor will be more easily "controlled," "regulated," kept in its place, "built" and bombed, then ever. Condemning to "live in labor in each other's washing," like Indians under the Glass Areas Bill, it is most likely to the more congested and poverty stricken as well as more heavily taxed, and thus cheaper, more docile and submissive, more effectively drawn into the labor market, and so a dealer competitor than ever. And if under segregation there is any greater difficulty in recruiting it (e.g., from the Traffic Law) than there is at present which is very improbable under the powers that lie why at a pinch, and other things being equal, a good deal of capital can even establish itself in the segregation areas, just as European industries have integrated to cheap labor countries like India.

The Basis of S. A. Capitalism White workers who look to segregation for salvation, or expect that somehow, of other black labor, will be relegated to the farm and industry he left as a clear field for white labor, are feeling themselves. (Besides, the cry is to put the poor whites on the land.) Cheap native labor is the present basis of South Africa's industry, especially mining, no less than of her agriculture; and industrial capital will continue as long as it is in power and it is in fact the chief power in the land) to employ the cheapest labor. As long as there is a labor market, capital will buy the cheapest Merchants and storekeepers are no doubt interested in high wages for their customers, but they usually follow the Chamber of Mines bell-wether, and besides, many of their prefer Kaffir in general, most of the whites are or think they are in South Africa as masters and exploiters and for the sake of its cheap labor, which they neither can nor want to eliminate. A segregation area occupies exclusively by whites is incompatible in capital South Africa. A Confidence Track In short, to hold out segregation as promising salvation to white workers is a fraud, a stunt designed only to keep them guessing and to secure their support for the only form of segregation is actually to ultimatize blacks under capitalism, to take, say, conquering out whites more and more from the land, just as under the phrase White South Africa, in which they understood a country where a white worker in control of white workers, living there, was controlled the willed to act arbitrary claim to the ownership and domination of white Mao workers by white with the blacks as their slaves. The two movements are mutually destructive in either case, and to confuse them or present them identical is nothing but a confidence trick. In Shaheen's Clothing Howard University WASHINGTON, D.C.

Act idea, adding a minor refinement about "neutral areas," and says "we must" assign more land to the natives. But he admits that no government dare expropriate land for the purpose, i.e., dare do anything of the sort! He exhorts us to welcome native "race-consciousness"; but meanwhile his government, like its predecessor, "deals with" a native strike at Ermelo this very week in this usual manner, showing that native class-consciousness at any rate is anything but welcomed by it or, we may surmise, by our professor, who ignores any class struggle. He appeals for native "self-determination," but all his schemes are of what "we" must do with the blacks, "we" being the "intellectual elite," who can manipulate whole populations like chessmen up and down the map of Africa, whether they like it or not, with all the assurance of a "Peace," of Versailles (which the professor denounces) and probably as daastrous results. He talks of developing "native culture" in the native areas, as if there were any such thing, or at least as if what there is were preferable to European culture, the real effect being to stunt and ostracize them and cut them off from progress and civilization; for poisoned in the latter, by capitalism, it is still better than barbarism. Finally, although he bewaits the declining standards, opportunities and prospects of white labor, he carefully avoids suggesting any prohibition of black labor even in urban industries, although such a suggestion is Utopian enough, one would think, to command proof to him. No, as holding out any hope for the white workers, Prof Brookes', "idealistic" segregation is no better than the common or garden variety, which, as analyzed above, may at least conceivably become real, and we think it is at bottom just as much dictated by race prejudice. Idealism or Realism After all, as a middle-class man, Prof. Brookes is not much interested in so concrete a thing as labor. He is far more concerned about the color of posterity's skin (though "what has posterity done for us?"), which he fears may be chocolate. If we had no better reason for combatting poverty, unemployment and degradation than that, we would leave the subject alone, only remarking that these mixtures will continue so long as an exploiting social system continues to herd workers of all sorts and conditions in unnatural and indiscent conditions. But Prof. Brookes is not concerned with real issues, or with the probability or feasibility of his dolls-house, model-village figurings and imaginations. To listen to him indeed feels like being in church, what "with his appeals to sentiment (not legislation, much less "direct action"), to "ideals," to "our spirit of self-sacrifice," our "conscience," to "what we ought to do," etc. A group has been formed, we hear, to "digest" his ideas, but to us they seem "as easy as pap." Indeed, we even prefer the proverbial curate's "glass of milk" and a bun." The workers can hope for emancipation neither through alliance with reaction or race prejudice, nor through copy-book reforms, nor yet by the good-will of the (hourgools) community, but only by a terrific struggle for complete working-class supremacy, success in which can alone destroy the conditions that create our "native problem." By CHARLES WILLIIS THOMPSON in the New York Times One of the sayings that pass current because hardly anybody takes the trouble to think whether they are true or not is that the days of ortatory are over. Nowadays, so runs the Babbittum, sequence is at a discount and the only speech that can get over is one packed with facts and figures. The only gums of truth in all this is that the style of oratory has changed in the last sixty or seventy years, as styles change in other things. Speakers who make dry speeches in commonplace style and filled with nothing but facts and figures generally do so because they can't do anything else, and their type is as old as the hills. One of the commonest sayings about Gladstone in illustration of his oratorical powers was that he could make even a speech explaining the budget eloquent and hold his audience enthralled. What most people who quote this saying ignore is that the very fact that such a thing could be said about Gladstone shows that he was an exception, that his gift was IF U DON'T C CONSULT DR.

Justin McCarthy spent a large part of his life making discriminating studies of English public men in the nineteenth century, and taking his results by and large, the inevitable conclusion is that a really obsequious man was as rare in Lord Melbourne's time as in Ramsay MacDonald's. No popular delusion is without some grain of truth to be found if one searches long enough in the mass, and the truth underlying the one under discussion is that in the early nineteenth century turgidity was a fashionable element in oratory. In fact, the fashion was set in the late eighteenth century. It was deemed necessary for an orator to be unnatural, and the greatestness of Daniel Webster is to be seen in nothing more than in the fact that, turgid as he was, he could still make himself interesting, and that eloquence forced its way through even his purple perforations. This style has passed away. A similar change from articulity to naturalism is, noteworthy on the stage in the same period; yet no one would say that the drama is out of date. Neither is oratory. It has become simplified, but men are still greatly moved by eloquent words. Poetry has not disappeared merely because heroic verse is no longer in fashion. The change we are noting came about in England earlier than in this country, and almost the first American to set the new fashion was Abraham Lincoln. Though his Gettyburg address is the utterance everyone thinks of in this connection, yet nearly everything Lincoln wrote or said, at least from the time when he became the Republican leader in Illinois and had formed his oratorical style, has that same pure and Attic quality. It is the more remarkable because in his day the Websterian tradition was still at its height and purple was the color. The orator of the day at Gettysburg was Edward Everett, not Lincoln; but as another master of simple speech, Robert G. Ingersoll, once said, "The incidental words of Lincoln will never be forgotten; the ponderous oration of Everett will never be read." Perhaps I vary Ingersoll's words slightly, since I have not his speech by me, but about the essential truth of what he said there can be no doubt whatever. The new fashion thus set by Lincoln in America came swiftly into universal favor except in the South. To this day there remains something floral about the speeches of that region. In literature the South learns slowly, as is shown, for example, by the fact that so great a man as Alexander H. Stephens could voluntarily choose the dialogue form as a medium of expression a century after it had been abandoned everywhere else. On such things as this that true Southerner, Sidney Lanier, commented sadly, and Thomas Nelson Page with his clear and pure style supplied an appendix to Lanier without formal criticism. In Congress today a man like Senator Helfin of Alabama appears as a survival of the time when, no matter how poorly furnished a speaker's skull might be, he felt it his duty to lifeb himself up by his bootstraps to the level of Welter Hayne, Fonte and Patrick Henry. Yet Southerners of genius like senator John Sharp Williams have broken away from the old tradition and get their best efforts by using the Northern and English style. This little came into being much earlier than it usually supposed, but it did not become dry-as-dust, as the generates of the common legend would have you believe. In the 70s there came a rage for interstate and intercollegiate debates, which reached its height in the Middle West, and has not yet spent its force. Somewhere in the 90s a volume was collected entitled *Winston Orations* which contained the most celebrated of these speeches. Such debates were great events; they were part of that maturation for culture which characterized that period and has been too much ridiculed and often attracted proportionately as much attention as a big baseball match would now. The judges were the most eminent men in the surrounding communities, often including the governors of the emitted States. Glancing over this old book, one is GENUINE HIGH QUALITY SLENDERSTYLE All Sizes 32 to 54 ALL WOOL VELOUR TRIMMED COAT DRESS for $398 only THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1934 due for a surprise if he expects to find much that is turgid or pompous in its oratory. The Lincoln leaven was working even then. The style is not exactly severe, for it is a long way from "Give me liberty or give me death," or "Liberty and Union, now and forever, one and inseparable." It does not reach the level of "Government of the people, by the people and for the people shall not perish from the earth," but it at least strives in that direction. Two of the winners in these contests were Robert M. La Follette and Albert J. Beveridge. La Follette today is an exception in the fact that he really is a dry-as-dust speaker. However, he was forced to become one by the peculiar conditions in which for many years he had to fight to gain recognition in Wisconsin. That State was corrupt and ring ruled, and its corruption and its rings had been denounced over and over again by incarcerate orators until the people had become callous. La Follette could only attract your attention by abandoning his earlier incinations, toward eloquence, assuming a harsh voice and a repellent personality and clamming home statistics for four hours at a time in any back-country hall he could hire. He so woke the people up that he destroyed the Democratic party, which not long before had been powerful enough to put a United States Senator in the seat he now occupies, and he wrecked the Republican machine. It is natural enough that he should still cling to the hard and practical style of speechmaking that put him where he is. Yet La Follette's early ambitions went in an entirely contrary direction, and in 1872 he won the first prize at one of these interstate oratorical contests held in Iowa City, Iowa, for an oration on Iago. In early life he lie even thought of the stage as a career, and Lawrence Barrett wrote to him congratulating him on this oration and encouraging him in that early ambition. All this detail has been gone into merely to show how fixed a Lincolnian kind of oratory had already become. At that time La Follette was only 24 years old and might have been expected to be purple in the "Beyond the Alps Lies Italy" style. To show what his real diction was, a diction that could win much approval from Barrett, I quote a paragraph thoroughly characteristic, in which La Follette discusses the difference between Iago and Richard III. as human doubles: "Richard and Iago possess some qualities in common; both have mighty intellects; both are wise, cunning, crafty; both dissimulators; both actors. But further than this, they are profoundly, unlike. Richard III. is more humanly terrible; Iago more devilishly perfect. Richard loves nothing human; Iago hates everything good. Richard is arrogant, passionate, powerful, violent; Iago, gnostical, cold, cynical, sly. Richard is fire; Iago, ice. Richard III. is more objective; Iago more subjective. Richard would pulverize the universe; Iago would like to reverse the order of things. In point of satirical finish Iago is Richard, and more. Richard III. murdered many and sweats with horror. Lago few, and forgets remorse. Richard III. mounts the throne of England on a score of dead bodies. Lago wins the throne of hell in three strides. The conscience of Richard wakes from its throne. Lago has no conscience. Richard III is a monstrously, Lago, a psychological contradiction. This may not be great literature. It is, however, a remarkable example of the sustained carving on of what the old rhetorics used to call the figure of antithesis. The main point to notice is that there is nothing Websterian about it. The words are Anglo-Saxon and stroke with the force of the broad use. By 1572 Charles Sumner's style of oratory was out of date among young men, though that god of theirs had been dead not much more than half a decade. Now let us turn to Beveridge who has been somewhat unjustly pictured as a purple word-painter. Of his famous first speech in the Senate Mr. Dooley cruelly said: "Twas a speech we cut waltz to." I heard that speech, which was delivered in 1593, and it was as severely Anglo-Saxon as La Follette's youthful oration on La. Certainly it was eloquent, but only as Lincoln's utterances, are eloquent. In 1855 Beveridge won an interstate oratorical contest at Columbus, Ohio, in which, curiously enough, he took a highly conservative view of the conflict between liber and capital. To show the similarity between his style and La Follette's, and, indeed, of that of every young speaker of his time, I quote only a few sentences dealing with education as an economic remedy. "Ignorant labor cannot reason justly. It is the readiest victim of every plausible fallacy. To ignorant labor capital seems the trivant, whose burdens it has borne through storm and blast, with rags and hunger as its only recompense." Well may capital tremble when political power is in the hands of ignorant powers. "You cannot remove the power; you must destroy the class; you must enlighten labor. Enlightened labor can think rightly. It knows that capital is the motor of the age. It is ever changing places with capital—the incompetent heir with the able employee." Beveridge and La Follette are typical of all the rest. The change had come. Since then what has been done has been to improve the duction somewhat, not to coarsen it or degrade it into commonplace. Men still love eloquence as they love poetry. It was this that first gave Woodrow Wilson his great command of men's minds; and it always/remained one of the sharpest weapons in his armory. Simplicity was an art with him, and the same thrill intoxicated men at one of BROADWAY ITS WOW SOCIETY'S FAR TYPICALLY AMERICAN SISSLE AND BLAKE THE CHOCOLATE DANDIES COLONIAL AT 650 ST.

A TIP - AVOID STANDING IN LINE - MAKE RESERVATIONS IN ADVANCE his seemingly artless sentences as would have been the case with some beautiful couplet of poetry. What is more, it had a practically effect; it moved armies. A slightly earlier example is John Hay, who was able to move men with the art that conceals art, while his chief, McKinley, was still in the thrall of the old superstition that oratory must be artificial. Take, for instance, one sentence from Hay's eulogy of McKinley before Congress, in which he delicately referred to the dead President's wife. "Who counts the long hours in their shattered home in the desolate spindor of his fane." John W. Davis has this same power, and it is much to be regretted if the horde of advisers now around him persuade him to exchange it for the common bludgeon of the stump speaker. He, too, knows how to give its full value to every syllable, and has the same appearance of effortlessness. Calvin Coontledge has it not, except in certain rare instances, and has the great good sense not to attempt what is beyond his power. But if he chooses to make a stumping campaign without a single attempt at eloquence, that merely shows his knowledge of himself; it does not in the least prove that Americans no longer love eloquence. They do; only it is no longer in the passing fashion of Websters' reply to Hayne. LAKE COMO (Classically called The Larian Lake) By MARTIN DEVERE STUART If there be earthly paradise, By Comoe sapphire lake it lies Ah, there forever could I dwell. Held in its never falling spell, Beneath Itallia's azure skies. I stop at Coinocina's isle. So lovely in its emerald smile And 'mong its vines and cypress trees, Courted by every passing breeze. I muse of its great past awhile. To Villa Pliniana go. Which looks into the lake below. And watch, as Pliny did, the spring That from the hillside issuing Struck him with its strange elb and flow. And later when the shadows fall. A scented glamor over all. I gaze, enraptured, on a scene. That is ideally serene. Then from the slowly homing boats, Soft over the Larian lake there floats Th' Italian boatmen's haccarole; It reaches to my very soul. So melancholy are its notes. And presently the rising moon, Like some mysterious balloon, Climbs high above LaGrigna's height And leaves the lake all silver white And motionless as in a swoon. And, following a moonlit trail, I pass through gardens that exhale The incense of a thousand roses; Only such blooms as one supposes To grow in some Elvayan vale. Now, headless of the passing hours, I dream in rhododendron bowers. The whittle some marble fountain near Sits with its purling song the air. Sweet with the mingled breath of flowers. Distilling delicate perfume. The calabash's yellow bloom. Against the olive's somber green. Like golden buds carved on a screen Of index illuminates its glom. My eager gaze now travels on Nor scarcely farther has it gone. To where canvases, pink and white. Preserve to the delighted sight. The rose and pearl of Floras's down. Then comes to greet the enchanted eyes. In an increasing, sweet surprise. The cinerea's scentless hues. Whose ardent purples, reds and blues. Seem to be plucked from sunset skies. But now even fancy must surrender. For never brush nor pen can render The colors that entrance, the gaze. Where the azaleas are ablaze. In all their variegated splendor. And roses, roses everywhere! A thousand, thousands blooms appear On trellis roof and garden wall. In tropical ascades now they fall. Now gray streaming in the air But hard! from Como's scented vales Bursts forth the song of nightingales. So clear those rapid trills and bars They from to reach the very stars And die among their silver sails. Too soon, too soon, your hours spent, Gracious days serenely spent By Como's garden-tresured lake. Where every breath that you intake Is but the ecstasy of scent. O. star-encrusted, purple nights Of unforgettable 'delights' Night's silver-dusted with the sheen Scattered by the empireal queen High-throned above your snow-crowned heights. Though evanescent, all the flowers that blossom thk in Comic's flowers "And all its other charms pass by. There is one thing can never die— 32 Quincy Street, Brooklyn, N. Y.

Many texts in the Bible command in every age of the church, from Christian people, an undying admiration. Such a text is the foraging. It is of very little material value, who uttered the text, but it is certain, I believe, that they are the utterances of an exile, and it is evident that they bear with them an image which, however it may be taken from local circumstances, is intended to convey a universal truth. The image, itself, indeed, and the teaching of the image, are unmistakable. Every reader of the Bible is accustomed to this particular metaphor. It occurs in at least three important Psalms; in three passages of Isaiah it serves to give the prophet a vehicle for the utterance of one of his strongest evangelical calls; and in one of Jeremiah's most thrilling "lamentations" it occurs again. "My soul" is atirst for God, for the living God. Remember also that such an image is in another's sense the property of humanity. It is the peerogative of the great teachers of the human race to create such figures and thereby to stereotype at a touch and to store among the traditions of mankind the most needed, the most fruitful lessons of life. Men like Homer and Dante in secular literature, men like the Psalmists in the literature of the Bible, take a single image, choose a single, a forcible metaphor, and by their use of these teach some bold scheme of human life and character, or unveil some hidden fact of human destiny. Now such a scheme of human character, involving at least a hint of human destiny, with abundant and fruitful consequences, is to be found—such is my contention in the words of the text. Well, I do not think the statement will be controverted that each of us begins life with a desire to know. Curiosity is a characteristic of childhood, sometimes a great temptation, often a loudly blessing—"At any rate, in after years, It finds no mate, in knows no peer" (Continued in next issue) An Extra Added Attraction at the Lafayette Theatre This Week Featuring at the Lafayette Theatre, this week, is Billy King and Billy Higgins, in a fast musical comedy, with a cyclone east.

And always this helpless mortal mass, Lured by your keen majestic fire Forestalls the spirits final pass. And mid your lustrous, liquid realms— Your sheeny, azure trunkling orbs Raves, vested by the light that whelms.

At 7:30 p.m. the regular mass meeting was called to order with the singing of the opening ode. The band played an anthem during which the uniformed units entered the hall. The acting chaplain, Mr. J. Burnett, gave a short lecture on the advancement of the race. After this the choir rendered an anthem. The chairman, Mr. A. McLarty, second vice-president, in the course of a speech said, for hundreds of years the Negroes were called boys, even the gray-halred; he made a rousing appeal for the support of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Mr. S. Scott gave a short address expressing his joy at being alive to see the fourth anniversary of the International Convention of the Negro People's of the World. He said our foreparents were taken from Africa on the white man's ship, but thank God we would be returning on the Negro's ship. Mr. R. Harris next spoke, lecturing from the following words, "Slavery, Starvation and Freedom." This was a forceful address, it was full of virile thought. The next speaker, Mr. C. Goulbourne, confined his speech mainly to advising the legions in matters affecting discipline and obedience. The speaker, an ex-soldier, handled his subject-matter in a soldierly manner. Mr. George Douglas next spoke on "Freedom of the Negroes and the Declaration of Rights," referring to the passage of scripture which reads "Now is the accepted time." A solo by Miss Clark was followed by an address by Mr. J. N. Leslie, member of the Sangerman Division. The Hon.

EAST BROOKLYN CHAPTER Sunday evening, August 24 last, the East Brooklyn Chapter of the U. N. K. A. held a monster mass meeting, one of the greatest in the history of this chapter, when the Hon. R. H. Bachelor of Cuba and Mrs. Hattle Johnston of Baltimore, both delegates to the Fourth International Convention of the Negro Peoples of the World, paid this chapter a visit. The meeting was opened with the singing of the opening ode, "From Greenland's, ley Mountains" after which the dims and objects were read by the President, Mr. Fred Brathwaite, who also, with great eloquence, delivered the opening address. The principal speaker of the occasion was Hon. R. H. Bachelor, whose address put new life, new courage, and firm determination into the hearts of his listeners. The next speaker of the evening was Mrs. Hattle Johnston of Baltimore, who delivered a very powerful and touching address. Mrs. Johnson in a very warm manner reminded the women of this chapter of their duty to their race and the assiguration. She proved beyond a doubt that she stands ready to work and sacrifice for the Redemption of Africa, and the emancipation of the Negro race. Mr. William Miller also delivered a brief, but very interesting, address, expressing his utmost satisfaction with the addresses delivered by the speakers of the evening. The meeting was brought to a close with the singing of the Ethiopian Anthem, followed by prayer by the chapel. MILTON E. KELLY. CENTRAL ELIA. CUBA The Ela Division No. 754 of the U. N. I.

STENNETT, Reporter. Advertise in THE NEGRO WORLD for Results Credentials of Hon. Charles H Bryant as Commissioner in Central America September 4, 1974 To Whom It May Concern: This is to certify that the Hon. Charles H.

Mr. Bryant, is authorized to supervise the various branches, divisions and chapters of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League. He is commis- HON. CHARLES H. BRYANT signed to represent the interests of all Negroes domiciled in these countries. In case of trouble and disturbances, he is authorized to take up the matter with the respective governments in protecting the interest of all Negroes. The Universal Negro Improvement Association represents the interest of 400,000,000 Negroes the world over, and lends its moral, financial and political support to the actions of Commissioner Bryant in the performance of his duties in connection with the Negro race. We ask that all with whom he comes in contact extend to him the courtless due to a representative of this great race. P. L. BURROWS. Asst. Sec. Gen. MR MARCUS GARVEY. Pres. Gen. Commissioner Bryant Sends Message to His Field in Central America TO ALL PRESIDENTS, OFFICERS, MEMBERS, WELL-WISHERS AND FRIENDS OF THE U. N. I. A. & A. C. L., RESIDING IN THE REPUBLICS OF PANAMA, COSTA RICA AND NICARAGUA; Follow officers, members and friends: It is with intense fraternal greetings and in the knowledge of the unfinishing duty, affections and charity we owe each other that I, as your Commissioner, spokesman and representative, have availed myself of the opportunity of addressing you at this time. We have completed thirty-one days of arduous and technical arbitration, conducted with great diplomacy, statesmanship and intelligence. The result is we have fashioned a solution for our problems after taking stock of our trials and troubles, legislated for the advancement and uplift of the four hundred million Negroes of the world. We further laid the foundation for a Negro Mercantile Marine and its offshoots without invoking any bitterness or strife by or between any members assembled in our August body. This has demonstrated to the world the lofty ideas and the seriousness and determination of Negro students of advanced thought, who have set themselves the task of carving out their own designs along the lines of modern civilization. We have emerged from our convention filled with inspiration, filled with hope and courage and determination to press forward and remove every barrier from our path. The Liberian imbroglio is as a grain of sand in the ocean when we visualize the magnitude of our great program. Boys! The Negro's time has come. Our present task is shackle-breaking and bread earnings. We need men who will appear on the scene of action and magnetize every ball from the muzzle of the enemy's gun; men who will be capable of rendering Negroes immune from the deadly efforts of man to defeat the cause of Righteousness. Justice and Truth, which we espouse. I have at this time to instruct all officers and members to acquit yourselves as men with full belief in your spiritual nature and through consciousness of self to eschew the very thought of defeat or impossibility. Almost every division, branch or chapter in that field has had a troubled past, a past of pain and anxiety, and it has been a source of great joy to me that I have been able, as you so kindly acknowledge, during the past two years to help in assuaging the pains and anxieties and permitting more of the sunshine to enter in. The instruction given us is, "On the strength of Jehovah return, to your respective fields, and do more for the uplift and progress of your race and humanity;" and so I sincerely beg to remind all officers in whose hands the deatiny of the local members lies, that better service and leadership than ever is in demand now; leadership and service which must be untainted by selfishness, bigotry, dishonesty, avarice or conceit. We have passed the stage of noise-making. Brains and business intellect, reinforced with sincerity, must now be brought into action. Mindful of experiences we have had Scene In Agromonte Park, Camaguey, Cuba, during U. N. I. A. parade in celebration of August 31, which marked close of the International Convention.

August 31, at about 4:30 p. m., a most historical event under the auspices of the U. N. I. A. Division No. 239, was celebrated here in the metropolis of Camaguey, Cuba. A procession that will go down in the annals of history in Camaguey; a procession that brought every individual of both sexes and every rank to their doors, windows, roof-tops and elsewhere. This procession was to celebrate the "Negroes Day," the 31st of Aug., when the Fourth International Convention of the Negro Peoples of the World, held in New York City, came to a close, after 31 days of hard and conscientious labor to help solve the problem of liberating our 400,000,000 Negro brothers. At 4:35 P. M. a photograph of the processionists was taken in front of the liberty hall; at 4:40 P. M. the band marched off with the followers proceeding to the "Agramon" park where the meeting was to be held. Arriving at 5:30 P. M. the band played the Cuban National Anthem, after which the chairman, Mr. A. Corbin, opened the meeting by addressing the In the past, we should be able to man our ship of state and pilot a people to that haven of refuge of which four hundred million Negroes stand so sorely in need.

Loud applause from members of both races punctuated his address. Three rousing cheers in Spanish were given on behalf of the governor and mayor of Camaguey, and "Viva Cuba Libre." Mr. A. Blackwood, the next speaker, held the audience spellbound. At the close of the meeting the Cuban and Ethiopian National Anthems were played by the band. For the first time in Cuban history an assembly of Negroes, united under the one, true and sublime cause of the U. N. I. A, paraded the principal streets of the city for the purpose of educating our white and Negro brothers as to the aims and objects of the grand and noble cause of the U. N. I. A. I felt proud when our National Anthem was played for the first time on the platform of the historical park of Camaguey, named "Agramonte," after a hero who fought for his country and the freedom of his people. It makes me think of the future, when instead of our band playing the Ethiopian National Anthem under the monumental sword of a white hero, Agramonte, it will be under the gaze of our Negro hero, Garvey, who has borne our daily cross, or that of the late Prince Poston, or any other great patriots that have labored for the redemption of Afrika. - I beg to state conscientiously that the procession here this evening under the able management of Mr. R, G. Murray, Secretary of the Division, has left a great impression on the minds of the Cuban public, and tends to bring greater respect to our race in Camagua than ever before. Every item in the procession was executed like clockwork. The procession headed by the band returned to the "Liberty Hall," where a master mass-meeting was held. ERNEST L. PROVOST. Mr. Jonathan Chesterfield Watts, a native of Trinidad, British West Indies, is a staunch worker for the race, displaying an interest in the activities of the Universal Negro Improvement Association which may well be emulated by other members of this great organization. Mr. Watts not only gives of his physical and mental best to the movement, but is always found among the foremost to contribute his MR. JONATHAN C. WATTS money so that the program may be put over. "It is money," writes Mr Watts, "and more money, that will accomplish the aims and objects of the Universal Negro Improvement Association.

The parade land picnic staged on the 16th of August in honor of the President-General's birth day was a splendid success, and a striking advertisement for the division. The parade which was three block long was led by a Negro band, followed by the Legionaires, Black Cross nurses, juveniles and many neatly decorated automobiles with the colors of the red, black and green and the red, white and blue, also with various mottoes which drew applause from the crowded sidewalks along the line of march. Merely saying that the picnic was a success would not convey the full measure of appreciation. It was indeed a bumper achievement. Then directly following on the evening of the 22nd, the baby contest, which was under way for some time, came to a close, when all the babies made their appearance at headquarters to turn in their reports for the work they did to assist the building fund, for a local Liberty Hall for their future use. The program on this occasion was well rendered in songs, solos, duets, recitations, etc. Mrs. C. Giller, Treasurer, ladies' division, and Mrs. Rowe in a duet, accompanied by First Lady President Mrs. B. A. Jones, who was also matriarch of the university instrumental rendition by Miss Jeraldino Immann; solo by Mrs. Williams, the wife of the first vice-president, accompanied by Miss Lulu Chairman, our choir pianist. Miss Chatman is a student of the University of California. A paper by Mrs Monajuice Williams, subject: "The Necessity of Negro Boys and Girls Getting an Education." She said that Negro boys and girls could no longer remain in the backwoods and dod, a school houses, but must come to the front, get an education and be ready to fill the places of prominent leaders. We not only needed the places of our prominent leaders filled, but if we were going to establish a government of our own in Africa, we must have educated S, DIVISIONS, CHAPTER BRANCHES OF THE NEGRO-IMPROVEMENT ALIATION IN AMERICA come to return to hear men. This was not the age for norcant men and women, for they were only a hindrance to the race. We saw younger generation, must stand up and be determined to fill the places of our present leaders. It was necessary for us to do so. It was a sure thing that the race must have more leaders, and if we did not prepare for the emergency may never happen. In fact commented on the paper which he said was befitting the occasion; Miss Williams was asked (by the president), the favor of her presidents at the mass meeting on August 31, to read her paper to the audience. The baby contest was won by the little adopted son of Second Lady President Mrs. Kent. Refreshments and dancing closed the entertainment. The great grandson of a great, grandfather, a Virginian knight, was presented to our division on Sunday, August 10, by Mr. Marshall, editor of California Voice, in the person of William Satchell Morris. In presenting the speaker, Mr. Marshall said, among other things, that when he visited the meetings, he was always filled with the spirit of the movement. He advised those of us present not to pay any attention to the critics—because it was only when one was doing something noteworthy, that he was criticized. Mr. Morris rose amid tremendous applause and said the occasion was forced upon him, he did not come to speak, but only to look over. Nevertheless it was his duty to give a word of good cheer to his people wherever he happened to be. He said that the strength of any race depended on its solidarity, there was no hope in solidarity. Continuing he said no one would venture to kick a bulldog, but everybody took chances at curs. The time had come for black men to give their own contribution to the world—the wide world was watching and thinking what the Negro would do when he woke up. It took courage to stand up for an unpopular cause, but we must choose a program with a foundation and stand by it. He expressed himself highly pleased with the manner in which our president conducted the meeting. The audience stood up in respect while he was escorted in and out by members of the Legion. Mr. Morris is the great grandson of Frederick Douglas. T. E. Smith, President. Richard Durant, assistant secretary.

SPANISH SECTION "LUZ DE ORIENTE" Esta importante revista. ilustrada de Santiago de Cuba, en su número 26, correspondiente al mes de julio, engalana una de sus amenas paginas con el fotograbado de la comisión enviada por esta organización a la Liga de Naciones en 1922, y el de nuestro editor, decano del periodismo americano, T. Thomas Forutme. Su director artístico, nuestro estimado compañero el senior Longinos Alonson, luego de hábernos honrado con su visita, durante su permanencia en esta ciudad, nos recuerda a su regreso a la Patria en su articulo que reproducimos a continuación: El elemento progresista y de posición de la raza debe Cooperar al éxito de nuestra nueva corporación naviera —Vapores para trasladar cargo y pasaja entre Africa y America—Grandes posibilidades comerciales—Instalación de una base industrial y comercial sólida GRATA VISITA AL NEGRO WORLD Tenemos que revestirnos de toda la seriedad que requieren nuestras circunstancias en el presente, por demandarlo así la importancia del programa que anhelamos poner en práctica. El mundo en que habitamos es tan excéntrico, que la vida de las razas y de las naciones es casi insignificante; hombres y razas perecen y naciones sufren sus alteraciones en un proceso que se ha hecho eterno. (Por Longinos Alonso) "Cumpliendo los deseos de nuestro querido director, compartidos con nuestros estimados compañeros de Redacción, en el sentido de que aprovechara mi estancia en la gran nación norteamericana para visitar las oficinas de los distintos periódicos y revistas que con la nuestra están relacionadas, tuvimos el grato placer de visitar al The Negro World, gran periódico que se publica diariamente en New York y que procura el progreso moral y material de la raza de color en el mundo entero. En medio de tanta consternación, debemos estar preparados y por ello nuestra organización lucha, no solamente para que nuestra raza subsista los días enumerados por el Gran Creador, sino que también para que resurjan de las ruinas del pasado nuestra gloria y honor primitivos y nos constituyamos una vez más en un poder nacional. Con tal motivo justificado, apelamos una y otra vez a los cuatrocientos millones de nuestro pueblo en el universo, para que se asimile el sentimiento único—amor, orgullo y unión de la raza—del cual obtendremos como resultado nuestra emancipación absoluta. "Su oficinas se encuentran en la calle 135 número 52 Oeste. Llegamos alli y una elegante dama, amablemente, nos condujo al departamento español o lationericano, en donde conocimos al señor M. A. Figueroa, correcto caballero de trato exquisito que escribe en dicho diario los editoriales en castellano y profesor de idiasas. El señor Figueroa nos mostró todos los departamentos y oficinas del periódico y de la Asociación denominada "Universal Negro Improvement", que se encuentra instalada en el mismo local, oportunidad en la cual pudimos comprender la extraordinaria importancia del periódico y de la Asociación. La cuarta convención internacional de los pueblos negros del universo llevada a cabo en esta ciudad durante todo el mes pasado, ha de ocupar su puesto de honor en la historia de la raza. En el curso de sus deliberaciones, los delegados y representantes adoptaron la resolución más solida que raza alguna haya podido concebir, y esta fue la fundación de nuestro desarrollo industrial. Con nuestra nueva corporación naviera, como factor de gran trascendencia en tal scentido, podemos fácilmente poner en práctica, dicha resolución, garantizando así el futuro económico, el progreso y la felicidad en la vida de nuestro pueblo. Immediatamente después, nos fue presentado el señor Marcus Garvey, presidente de la asociación y figura prestigiosisima por la alteza del ideal por el cual lucha y por sus dotes de gran organizador. Aunque nuestra entrevista con Mr. Garvey fue muy corta dadas las multiples ocupaciones que pesan sobre el tuvimos, con lo que nos dijo, bastante para comprender cuales son los fines que persigue la Asociación que el preside. El nos dijo que la asociación simpatiza y quiere que todas las razas defiendan sus derechos, lo mismo tratandose de negros que de amarillos. Blancos o rojos; que no se explica cómo puede indie asombrarse de que haya hombres que traen de recabar sus legitimos derechos y su libertad, cuando vivimos precisamente errta una epoca y en un grado de civilización en que todos sabemos que todos los hombres han sido creados con los mismos derechos y con los mismos privilegios naturales. Nos dijo también que el tiene fundadas esperanzas en que la Convención de este año produzca resultados brillantes para los controciamientos millones de hombres de color que puedan blan el mundo. Nuestra organización recurre a todos y cada uno de sus miembros y adeptos, para que aporten con su óbolo a una de las mas importantes de todas nuestras empresas; nuestra corporación naviera solicita prestamos para capitalizarse, con el propósito de adquirir los medios de transportación y emprender su carrera en el inmenso mar de la industria y del comercio. Su principal objeto es establecer a la mayor brevedad posible y poner en operación una línea de vapores, la cual proporcione a la raza una oportunidad en ese campo de progreso. Dichas embarcaciones han de transportar los productos materiales de nuestro pueblo en Africa, a las Antillas, Sur, Centro y Norte America, v llevar allá, a su regreso, las manufacturas de este y otros países en este lado del Atlántico, proporcionando de ese modo ocupación a nuestro elemento en diferentes partes del globo. La única solución de nuestro problema económico, a nuestro mejor modo de entender, es la instalación de nuestra propia marina mercante, para que ella extienda su utilidad a la raza por toda la superficie del planeta. Tenemos mucho terreno que cultivar en nuestro campo industrial y comercial; los timidos millones de nuestro elemento en Africa tienen que ser vestidos, alimentados y provistos en fin de todo cuanto requieran sus necesidades en el curso de su existencia. Con nuestro elemento progresista ocupado en este hemisferio occidental en la manufactura de estos artículos de primera necesidad, y nuestra nueva corporación naviera transportándolos a sus destinos respectivos, podemos asegurar empleo a centenares de hombres y mujeres de la raza, quienes dentro de un corto periodo de tiempo se verán arrojados al desierto de la ventura, por aquellos que actualmente les emplea. "Cuando nos despedimos de Mr Garvey, tuvimos el placer de conocer en el Departamentos de Relaciones Exteriores de la Asociación a un joven, de extraordinaria cultura jurídica y simpático que nos deleite con su tratar ameno y carino. Se nombra James A. O'Meally, natural de Jamaica, delegado por la U. N. I. A. a la Convención Internacional de los Negros en Nueva York, quien, después de haber sido honrado con distintos cargos que le confiaron la Gran Bretana o sus conciliadanos, fue enviado por Inglaterra a la Liga de las Naciones. "En el mismo Departamento tuvimos ocasión de admirar, profundamente a un viejo huchador por toda causa justa. Se nombra T. Thos. Fortune y es un veterano en el periodismo, ocupando actualmente el cargo de Jefe de Redacción del renombrado diario The Negro World. Le admiramos profundamente por sus prendas personales y por su carácter excepcional. Nos inspiró una profunda simpatia por su amor a Cuba. En el año 1897, libró una gran batalla a favor de la libertad de nuestra Patria, en las columnas de The Sun de Nueva York. Entre los periódicos y revisitas por el fundados se destaca el New York Age. Sus grandes méritos, por último he han llevado a ocupar diversos cargos en las distítes administraciones, habiendo sido comisionado del gobierno americano en las Islas Filipinas durante la presidencia del hombre de memoria immortal que quiso ofrendar su sangre generosa por la libertad de Cuba en la Loma de San Juan: Teodorco-Roosevelt. Debemos y tenemos que prepararnos para el porvenir, no esperando a afrontar las dificultades del futuro, sin antes saber lo que hayamos de realizar. El campo fructifero de nuestra raza está aún en embrión, pero una y otra y muchas mas gotas de rocio—nuestra cooperación financiera—han de refrescar y abonar el terreno—nuestro programa industrial y comercial—quedando bajo la responsabilidad del agricultor—nuestra organización—la destrucción o la recolección de la cosecha. Mientras mayor número de embarcaciones pueda nuestra corporación naviera poner en su linea, mayor será el tráfico establecido y mayores serán los beneficios obtenidos. Todo esto demostrará a fos enemigos de nuestro movimiento el grave error en que han incurcido, al interponerse en el camino de toda empresa que tienda a mejorar la situación económica de nuestro pueblo. Un nuevo espíritu de determinación ha surgido del seno de nuestra cuarta convención internacional, llevada a cabo recientemente, el cual ha tomado posesión del alma de nuestro elemento conciente. El nos ha de conducir avantes por el sendero hacia la realización del propósito de una raza avejada por centenares de años, cuyo principal motivo ha sido el haber entregado su libertad a aquellos que con su astucia, han sabido sacar el mejor partido de tal confidencia. Este nuevo espíritu de determinación, cual estrella luminosa, esclarece la senda de nuestra felicidad y la de nuestras generaciones futuras. "Y entre calurosas muestras des simpatia, brigdamos por la prosperidad de la Universal Negro Improvement. Association y de la Luz de Oriente." . . . A tanta distinción, y erguidos con el calis de la sinceridad en la diestra, hemos de responder, al estimado compañero: ; Salva, Patria, Salve! ; Salva, Luz de Oriente, Salve! Los Magallanes del aire tuvieron una pronta atracción para los escritores de titulos de artículos con imaginación romántica; y precisamente hace cuatrocientos dos años, el 9 de septiembre de 1522, cuando la Victoria arrojo sus canadas*anlas a la sombra de las torres sevillanas, y Sebastian El Cano, y otros treinta supervivientes de la expedición de Magallanes se enteraron de que eran los hombres que habían conducido un buque alrededor del mundo. Esta es la vez siguiente enestos cuatro siglos que algo semejante a aquello ha acontecido, y es dificil ver porque no habia de ser la ultima. Hay una gran diferencia entre los dos regresos a la patria; pero cuando Smith y Nelson lleguen al fin a la costa del Pacifico serán los primeros hombres de la historia que hayan regresado desde el oriente en los mismos aeroplanos al mismo sitio del que se lanzaron hacia el oeste. Antes de que sea posible repetir una cosa de esta indole de nuevo alguien tendrá que inventar una forma enteramente nueva de navegación. El viaje de Magallanes fue probablemente el más importante viaje que se ha realizado. Los enormes sufrimientos, incertidumbres y alienos de aquellos asombrosos tiempos, cuando empezaban los hombres a conocer que el mundo, en su totalidad era de hecho de ellos, no pueden repetirse ahora, por el simple hecho de que el universo se ha reducido extraordinarariamente al mismo tiempo. Los aviadores americanos no encontraron nada semenjante a aquel peligro memorable de Magallanes, cuando el y sus hombres se hicieron a la vela hacia occidente por un descoocido, pero pacifice mar con noventa y ocho días por delante, dando vista solamente a dos islas desnudas en todo ese tiempo y mascando cuero de los aparejos al fin del viaje mientras esperaban a que aparecieran las islas de las Especias. Pero existen sejejanzas. Magallanes se hizo a la mar con cinco naves y solo una regresía a la patria; los aviadores han perdido dos aparatos, de los cuatro que iniciaron el vuelo. Magallanes hizo frente a riesgos prolongados, los aviadores tuvieron peligros cortos, pero muy intensos. Y ambas expediciones implicaron trabajo agglobado mientras duraron. El nombre de la Victoria habría sido un nombre no menos apropiado para el aeroplano almirante del vuelo mundial de lo que lo fue para la heroica y pequeña carabela que regresé a Sevilla hace cuatrocientos años, para decir a los hombres lo que el porvenir les toma reservado. Su alteza el impresor El impresor de hoy puede ufamarse de un abolengo tan noide con el que ejerza el más inquieto de los oficios o profesiones. De Guillermo Caxton a Horacio Gireeley, del Principale Napoleon al Presidente Harding el oficio de impresor ha producido adalidades del pensamento y la política en todas partes del mundo. En los Estados Unidos de America Benjamin Franklin fue un gran impresor antes de demostrar sus aptitudes como estudiata, y am despues de haber entrado en el terreno de la política procuno impartir el mayor desarrollo posible a la industria tipográfica de su país. En el mundo literario y periodístico, hombres de la reputación de Mark Twain, Bret Hartte y Attenuus Ward figuraron en las nominas de operarios de imprentas mucho antes de escribir los libros que tanta fama habían de darles, y ninguno de ellos olvidó ni quiso olvidar jamás el manejo de los tipos ni el olor de la tinta. No son pocos los gobernadores de Estados que han sido periodistas y impresores y en el Congreso de los Estados Unidos hay demasiados senadores y diputados que conmezaron por ser impresores, para que su selección parezca una simple coincidencia. Y aun entre los ecclesiasticos, medicos, abogados y profesores hay muchos que estuvieron antes en imprentas. Nada de roar tiene, por cierto, que para muchos hombres haya sido la imprenta una especie de esculenta fundamental, porque no hay profesión o oficio que exija mayor disciplina, ni requiera mayor pacienza, ni demande mayor energia, imaginación e inteligencia, ni despierte en los artesanos mayor interes en la suerte del genero humano. Bien puede ser que haya algunos impresores desprovistos de esas virtudes; pero esos constituyen la exception. El buen impresor no sólo sabe ejecutar los trabajos sino también ideal los planes para su ejecución, estudiar y poner en práctica la manera de que resulten productivos para el negocio y de verdadera utilidad para quienes los encargan, y claro es que quien puede lograr todo eso está preparado para salir airoso en cualquier otro campo de actividades por el que tenga vocación.—El Marino, Honduras. Cuba y. Puerto Rico—Cuestión Unica (Para los esposos L. ALONSO) Cubanos y portorriqueños somos productos de un mismo fenómeno étnico; obedecemos un mismo encadenamiento atávico; somos pro y contra de una tesis por discutir en la catedra de la psicología isela, tema único en su especie, legitimamente cubano y portorriqueño, de suyo complejo; problema arduo, abstracto en su contexto, do los términos están dificilicultos oculos y una vez encontrados estos, la incognita deseada está aun por descubrirse, quedando planteada la proporción de la siguiente manera: Raza: Alma: Espiritu: X He aquí lo complicado de nuestro yo racial, aunque dotado de todos los visos y detalles que nos distingan como cubanos_y portorriqueños, nos falta algo que tienen las otras razas, los otros pueblos; algo que nos autentice, que nos ponga en gradación, algo que nos individualice y nos de un sello determinativo, clasificándonos en el número, calidad y posición con los otros pueblos y razas del orbe. Asi nuestra característica será única; tendriamos así nuestro propio molde, nuestra propia figura; patentizaremos nuestra individualidad. La complexidad evoluta que trae consigo todo vortice político tiene tendencias disgregantes a raiz de pasado el periodo convulsivo que lo inciara. Los elementos que tomaron parte en el proceso recavaron nuevas características una vez resulta la crisis agitadora, y por la ley immutable de estabilidad, por proceso acumulativo, por ley asociatriz, los elementos afines se unen y forman un nuevo todo, con detalles, frescos, con otro orden de acción más acomodaticiq a las circunstancias imperantes, y he aquil el porqué de cubanos y portorriquenos dependiendo aún de un miano proceso genesis, giramos algo distanciados en lo que a patria y ordencias respeta, por imponerlo así ciencias cuestiones de orden interno, exigencias civicas inherentes al estado de cosas pucularisinas de los dos pueblos, y que solamente son pertinentes admitirlas y resolverla el cubano que ame a su tierra con esa experiencia amarga y dolorosa, que le legaran su heroismo por su anhelada independencia, observación y analisis exclusivo del jibaro riqueno tan abnegado y tan paciente, después que se prepare y provea de una educación civica, necesaria para recavar el legilimo deréchido de gente y de humanidad, que le ponga en condiciones de demandar, como pueblo civilizado, todas aquellas exigencias a que sea acreedor, y tomar así asiento entre los pueblos serios, bien organizados y mejor constituidos. Tanto el cubano como el portorriqueno se deben a un mismo origen. Nexos de tradición, lengua costumbres y creencias les unen desde que la historia de América comienza su primera página civilizitrat. Estos dos pueblos criollos son hechura de un mismo material; ramas poderosas de un mismo tronco, con la misma savia y la misma floración. Ambos elementos, por encima de todas las alternativas circunstanciales a que estén sujetos, no pueden repelerse. Puede que el formato, lo fisico, lo externeo, la vestimenta, lo que se exteriorice, presente puntos de divergencia entre un tipo y otro; lo esencial, lo intimo, lo que realmente unifica, son los nexos de alma y espíritu porque estaimos enlazados los dos pueblos, y como bien dijo la inspirada Lola Rodríguez de Tíb: Cuba y Puerto Rico son De un pajaro los dos alas Reiben thores o balas Sobre un mismo corazón. En este Nueva York immense, moderna habilonia donde existe el comopolismo matrizano y exigente del orbe; en este gigantesco melting pot norteamericano, convivimos cubanos y portorriquenos con una indíntica rayaan en un egoimar nativizarte, lastimamente miserable para la actuación comin de la vida de colonia que hay que sostener en este medio ambiento un antagonio a nuestra idiosyncrasia de pueblo y de raza; al practicismo predominante de las otras razas que se suman al conglomerado de esta ciudad superba, respondemos nosotros, cubanos y portorriquenos, con un de los burlesos y aminorante que nos priva de muchas cosas en el orden civil de la urbe, y hace que se nos mire con una intercivil racial que no muercen, todo por nuestra misma culpa, por no querer damos cuenta de lo importante del momento histórico político que nos toden, y malgestar nuestras energías en cuestiones poco constructivas, por bacieron de nuestra personalidad. Estamos cultivando un portorriquismo y cubanismo que nos debilita, y aprovechase de esta situación el cubano y el portorriqueno que ninguina ocupa de su vida apoda y un juniperal. Somos todos victimas de esos campanos, sin alma y sin conciencia, sin fatia, sin principio y responabilidad moral para vivir la vida de relación, tan amenya y placera en todas las graduaciones de la existencia. Tanto en las demacaciones de Harlem como en Chelsea, en Bronx como en Brooklyn, cubanos y portorriqueños nos miramos con recoleta Desconfianamos unos de otros, uno y otro elemento nos consideramos argen al trono común donde procedemos. Cala día se va acentuando más este sentimiento, alamente peligroso para un futuro de verdadera necesidad cooperativa dentro de la urbe. Nos hemos olvidado que Henaa, Marti Botamourt, Höst, Corchado, el bien cubano Don Luis (actual consul de Elibadelfa) y gran pleyde de patriotes de una y otra isla, laboraron de interesadamente por Cuba y Puerto Rico en aquellos tiempos en que la patria de Vaceo y la patria de Baldorlo, sufrian los rigores de un regimen opcional. Nos hemos olvidado que los otros elementos que conviven con nosotros en esta gran ciudad están intimamente ligados para defensa de sus mutos intereses tanto metales como materiales, y nos olvidamos que siendo un poro más circunspecto, y presentación un fuerte bien nutido, nuestra defensa es mejor, y la consideración y el respeto que demandamos tiene que ser reconociido y protejido con arreglo a las leyes de la nación, nuestro detecho y nuestra individualidad. Tenemos que hacer una, labor de concordia; labor humanaria, eminentemente cubana y portorriqueña; labor de solidaridad de dos pueblos que estan unidos por los mismos nexos, haciendose extensiva esta labor a todos los pueblos del continente ilero-americo, donde un idioma, una raza, una verba, un mismo sentimiento del colonaje histórico, un mismo espiritu de hidalgia y de raza nos mantiene umidos para ciertos designos de redención y de injustice, cuapdo el concepto de pueblo sea mejor entendido y la frase "por humanidad" justamente practicada. Tú, portorriqueño, vivas donde vivieres, haz por convivir con tus hermanos de raza de una manera humana y espiritual, y así avudaras ejemplarizar la gran necesidad de preparación civica que nuestro Puerto Rico va asimilandose para garantir su propia personalidad. Tú, cubano, sin que te fijes en esos prejuicios vanos, ve en todos tus compatriotas un hermano igual a ti, y sea cual fuere tu posición politico-social, recuerda que como tu, tuvo por fortuna, derecho a ser cobijado por tu divisa nacional. Portorriqueños y cubanos residentes en Nueva York, compenetramos de la gran necesidad de un feliz entendido entre los dos pueblos. Tú, emblema sacrosanto que teñiste tus franjas rojas con la sangre de tus cubanos negros, mestizos y blancos que cayeran en la manigua libertaria. Tú, Estrella Solitaria; que simbolizas el pensar albo e impulto de tanta mujer blanca, mestiza y negra de esa Cuba. Tú, bandera invicta, que teñistes tu franjas azules con el celeste; de tui cielo magnificente, que a manera de cenefa supo guardar siempre con su sol y sus irradiaciones estelares los actos heróicos de tus revoluciones salvadores. Con la sangre de tus heroes todos, con el pensar diáfano y un de tus corneilias y con el añil de tu cielo, teñiste tu bandera de Marti, bandera de Maceo, bandera de la Republica de Cuba. Tiempo de que caste la resistencia Marruecos presenta el espectáculo de una nación europea en armas rechazada a sus posiciones por cabilinos de civilización primitiva. Tanger está aislado. Las rutas populares que siguen los turistas para Tetuán^y Fez están cortadas. Las comunicaciones de Tetuán con Ceuta están emanazadas. Las aereoplanos españoles bombardean aldeas proximas, en que le fuerza rifenas se hallan atrincheradas y en las que las poblaciones indigenas se han subliado siguiendo las alternativas de la lucha. El dictador español Primo de Rivera obtuvo el poder explotando descontento público por la guerra. No ha tenido éxito ni en su continuación ni en hallar excusas para abandonarla. Ahora se hacen dos declaraciones contradictorias: una, que ante los exitos de los rifefeno la una forma de responder es la guerra, por dignidad, solidaridad e instinto de conservación. Esta afirmación es intensamente opuesta por al pueblo. La otra version es que España está estudiando la retirada, cuando y cómo pueda retirarse sin sufrir una pérdida de prestigio domasijo considerable. En cuanto al prestigio, hay precedentes: Italia ganó más que perdió prestigio cuando, haza afuos, abandonó su costosa política de penetración en Abisinia. Su crédito subió. Mejoró su hacienda. España misma ganó más que perdió cuando se vió obligada a abandonar Cuba, que durante afos enteros habiala absorbido su sangre y su torsor. El prestigio moral que ha de ganarse abandonando suenos imperialistas sobre nativos rebeldes salía más elevadamente desde la gran guerra. Si España pudiera tener la seguridad de que ninguna otra nación habria de cosechar donde ella ha sembrado, habría más rosadas esperanzas de una cesación de hostilidades.

ADVENTION AND GENERAL FUND OF UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION FOR 1924-BIG GATHERING OF NEGROES FROM ALL PARTS OF WORLD The Universal Negro Improvement Association is now appealing to the members of the organization and members of the race everywhere to do their best to make the convention of 1954 the greatest of all our world conclaves. This year the organisation 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 so as to assist the Association to carry out its work. All members should collect and send in to the fund.

Greeley Brown, of Elizabeth, N.J., one of its "son" who has just commemorated the tenth anniversary of his graduation by insuring his life for $1,000, naming his Alma Mater as beneficiary. In forwarding the policy to the secretary-treasurer of the University, Dr. Brown wrote: "I am enclosing an endowment life policy taken by me for $1,000, with Howard as the beneficiary. It has been ten years since Howard conferred the degree of 'Doctor of Medicine' on me. This policy will represent $100 for each year I have been out. It is my plan to provide in some way for Howard to have $100 for each year I am out, payable at the end of ten year periods. That is to say, that ten years from this date, should I be living. I shall send Howard my check for $1,000 and should I not live to see that date, my will will provide that Howard shall receive $100 for each year so represented. This is not to be considered a part of my pledge of $300 for the Medical Endowment Fund, since I shall handle that separate from this all together. This pledge of nine for $100 each year is to be given as a token of appreciation for Howard and for the love I have for the institution. I am sending this policy by registered mail, protecting it against loss. The premium on this policy has been paid for the next year, and will be paid annually as long as I am alive." The spirit of self-help in connection with the support and development of Howard University as exhibited by its graduates and former students throughout the country is one of the proud traditions of this great school. To those who remember the important part which graduates and friends of Howard played in helping the school to meet the terms of the General Education Board's conditional offer of $250,000 for the endowment of the School of Medicine this gift of Dr. Brown's is simply additional evidence of the fact that the colored people of the United States are determined to help United States own institutions. This is the second colored physician to inadure his life in favor of Howard University, Dr. John A. Kenney, now of Newark, N.J. having been the first.

Meddling in the Affairs of Small Nations, Making Entangling Alliances Against Which the Father of His Country Advised HAYTI AND SAN DOMINGO From the New York World In the Atlantic Monthly, under the caption "Imperialistic America." Dr. Samuel Guy Inman has pictured us piling up hatreds, suspicions and enmities throughout Latin America, gobbling power in small nations upon the familiar pretext of "protecting American lives and property," and developing for ourselves our own Irelands and Indias and Egypts. We ignore our record; but it is the sort, he thinks, which has never failed in history to react in the defeat of high moral and spiritual ideals. How can the United States expect to prove the one exception to the rule? With this picture Sumner Wells, Commissioner to the Dominican Republic, finds himself in sharp disagreement. In a reply to Dr. Inman published in the Atlantic for September, he furnishes the more hopeful point of view in an interesting argument as to where America is bound. Rurge your eye rapidly down the map suggested Dr. Inman, and note the countries where the United States is now in practical control: A threat of intervention always held over the head of Cuba, the pace of whose economic life is set by abenthe landmars and bankers living in the United States Two thousand marines in Hayt1 to direct and "protect" the Haytian Government, elected under their own rule. More marines in Santo Domingo, where, for the first time in the history of republics, one nation, without declaring war on the other, landed an army, dismissed the President and Congress and for seven years ruled without even a semblance of national government. Panama, where we forced an agreement by which we may take over Panaman territory when we please and call it "protecting" the independence of the country. Nicaragua, where more marines keep in power, a government of American bankers, who, with the approval of the State Department, collect the customs and own the national band. Honduras, where two American corporations are the powers that be, and the ever-present marines have one more been landed to protect ever-present American lives and property. Six republics where American economic control is backed by military forces on the ground: Dr. Inman added Ecuador, Peru, Colombia, Bolivia and Saoador, five more. email neighbors where American financial advisers direct the fiscal policy of governments which have not yet witnessed the arrival of marines, but from whose shores the emoja of American cruisers can be seen as they patrol the Caribbean. We at home are ignorant of the way our economic imperialism is alienating friendships and fostering suspicions. But the rest of the world is informed. France nasts sarcastic slurs at the good Samaritan of the New World. So does England. Latin America hates us. We run the rlaks of "a dollar diplomacy, with its combination of bonds and battleships." It is our watchword to stay out of Europe, but to go into Latin America hell-bent. That is Dr. Inman's picture. "Mr. Wells, who has lived much of his life south of the equator and seen his hosts with other eyes, undertakes a defense of American policy. We have made mistakes, but for the Latin, republic we are not an ogre. Where material is available Mr. Wells replies to Dr. Inman's charges. Interference in Ecuador, Peru, Colombia, Bolivia and Salvador he dismisses on the ground that employment of American financial experts has been without a shadow of intervention on the part of the American Government. In Cuba, it is true, we have intervened upon occasion; but such intervention has been forced on us, "an artificial method of restoring outward tranquility so that constitutional government may once more be established." We have never threatened Panama nor bulldozed Nicaragua. We have landed troops in Honduras, but only to patrol a state of public mind until a free vote has established order. There remain Havli and Santo Domingo. Our record is a bad one in them both. We are trying to get straight again in Santo Domingo, but Mr. Wella thinks no one can argue that our intervention there was justified, and certainly feeling against the United States has been "exceedingly bitter." A for Havli, that is "the most difficult problem of them all." We sent our troops in: let us cross our thumbs and hope that noble ends are going to justify high-handed means. It comes to this, to sum up Mr. Wells: We have everything to be ashamed of in Hayt and Santo Domingo, nothing to be ashamed of for the rest. We have strengthened the foundations of stable government, and used diplomacy to settle quarrels without war. 'It is our white man's duty not only, to step in to protect our own lives and property but in "extreme cases" to offer our "friendly intervention" for the dark man's good. To be sure, there are certain parties who still step too far—some of the American corporations operating in South America "have exploited the countries in which they are situated in the most shameless manner"—but if we permit that sort of thing it is not so much because we are black-hearted as because we are provincial. And that, however little difference it may make to our neighbors on the south, is probably an interpretation which is right. As Dr. Inman says, the imperialism we have shown has probably not been developed deliberately. From The New York Herald Tribune NORFOLK, Va., Sept. 10.—Preparations for, burning 218 wooden ships, built by the United States Shipping Board at a cost of $225,000,000 for use in the World War, are being made by the Western Marine and Salvage Company, which has an option to purchase the ships from the government for $262,000 provided the metal in the first ten destroyed shows the purchasers a fair profit on the investment. The ships are only a part of the idle fleet that has been in the James River for several years. The huge bonfire will occur in the Potomac River, off Tidewater, Va., where the ships were towed by tugs. A plan to burn them in but has more likely stolen over us as part of the materialistic spirit of the times. We feel our sacred rights and obligations most keenly where those rights and obligations mean something to us in Central American trade or Mexican petroleum or Turkish oil. Secretary Hughes in an address delivered just a year ago today laid down for Pan-America the policy that the United States will assume to set itself up as the sole judge of what rights and obligations it will enforce. Probably not a great many Americans read that address a year ago with interest or troubled to find out how well our neighbors liked it. We are provincial in our attitude toward South America unless we belong to that small group which has investments there. Not one American in a hundred, probably, knows anything of that record in Haytt and Santo Domingo which Dr. Inman scores and Mr. Wells does not defend. Not one American in a hundred follows the flag through those other Central and South American states where Mr. Wells believes that we are mostly right and Dr. Inman thinks that we are mostly wrong. Of Mars at least we know this much: it has been within 290,000 miles of us in recent weeks. But Latin America, with its hopes and fears and inspirations, remains beyond the pale. New York Urban League Begins Fall Activities The industrial department has been making a special survey of Harlem business concerns with a view of creating positions for colored workers. The industrial secretary, Mr. Allison, was assisted by Mr. Walter J. Scott, who reports an increased desire on the part of Harlem business men to co-operate in employing members of the race. The organization is indebted to Mrs. Mitchell, of 66 West 128th street, for a donation of dishes and silverware. Through Mrs. Anna Jones Robinson, the league is in receipt of a piano which comes as a loan for use in connection with various club meetings and group activities for the fall. Among the new organizations using the league's building an headquarters are the Blue Birds Social Club for girls, and the Better Times Club. "Sparke," the monthly magazine of R. H. Macy and company, comments as follows in the August number on a young man recently placed through the Urban League: "A short time ago one of our most courteous elevator operators, by name of Mr. Alvin E. White, was transferred to the shipping section of the delivery department. He has already made good and his amiable disposition has won for him many friends. Mr. White has had a varied career. After having been graduated from high school, he studied for two years at Union University, at Richmond, Va.

Hauling the vessels out of the water on skids and burning them on shore was tried and this is said to have proven more satisfactory. As many of the craft as can be hauled ashore will be burned there, while the others will be set after in the stream. It is reported that oil, valued at $25,000 will be used in starting the fire, which is to occur in about ten days. The destruction of this fleet will provide the biggest bonfire seen in America, and hundreds of people are already making plans to go to Tidewater to witness it. Then when the call to arms was sounded he left college and became associated with the Army Transportation Corps, where he served for thirteen months. At the close of the war, Mr. White was honorably discharged as first sergeant, after which he served for some time in the Navy Department as a mail clerk, sitting in the location of service men who had either been transferred or released. When this work had been accomplished he went to the Department of Justice, where he did clerical work. Last April Mr. White came to Macy's as an elevator operator, where he was destined to remain but for a short time. Keep up the good work. All members of the staff have completed their vacations and are back at their desks ready for the fall and winter program.

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.

Home-Life Necessity To Character Building The aim of this home is to sample one. Finally expressed it to afford a living environment in which a family may live in health and comfort and beauty and the pursuit of high ideals. Parents who give their children a home which fulfills this aim are making them a gift for which no spender could be a substitute, just as parents who forget this aim in striking to give their children more material things are doing them a wrong for which no elaboration of living can be a compensation.—Mrs. J.

Remember that you will get out of college about what you put into it. The chance comes only once.

Be Somebody and Do Something Don't go through life meaning nothing in particular. Stand for something. Hitch your wagon to a star, and try to be somebody in particular, to be known for some one thing which you do superbly, something that you can be proud of. In whatever way you decide to get your living resolve that you are going to be first-class; that you will not be a second-rater, an take-run. Resolve to lift yourself above mediocrity, to be a professional at living, an artist and not a mere artisan — Success Magazine. Am I My Brother's Keeper? I have learned the bitter lesson that nobody loves you in particular for a gift of material things. It is only when you give of your heart, of your soul, of your brain, that you make for yourself an everlasting lover and an everlasting friend, that you beatow upon your brother a thing which will warm him when he is cold and feed him when he is hungry with a warmth and a food that is a product of the spirit, a thing that cannot be reckoned in dollars and cents. You are your brother's keeper when you give this gift. When you give merely money, when you live daily before your brother in a manner that makes him envious and rebellious and hurt, both you and he in almost equal proportion become a menace to society. So it is up to every one of us to realize that, no matter what our social and financial standing in exactly the same proportion as always has existed we are now, today, as responsible as people always have been and always will be for their brothers. —Gene Stratton Forter THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1984 EAST INDIANS ARE MAKING RAPID PROGRESS IN CINEMA INDUSTRY Unlike Negroes, Demand Their Own Actors and Actresses Mr. Vishnu R. Karandikar wrote a splendid article in the New York Tribune Herald describing the progress and growth of the cinema industry in India. We reproduce a portign of this article as it reflects credit on the oppressed Indians, and ought to inspire Negroes, who have larger opportunities in their respective communities in America, to launch out in this industry for the good of the race, financially and economically. The following is the extract from the article: Ten years ago, nobody would have thought it possible for any Indian company to produce Indian stories on the films. Among the many causes that militate against new developments in India is the shyness of Indian capital, which has learned to move through certain channels, but which is not enterprising enough to venture into new directions. But personal influence and an underlied urge made the pioneer of the cinema industry in India. Mr Phalke collected some money and left Indian shores to learn the whole art of producing films. A couple of years later he returned and succeeded in placing on the Indian market the first Indian film, called "The Birth of Krishna." Indian Mythology Dramatized This film took India by storm. There is no more lovable figure in all Indian mythology than that of Krishna. Considered to be an incarnation of Vishnu—the preserver of Hindu trinity—the life of Krishna is full of miracles performed in order to free the oppressed and lift the down-trodden. His fight against tyranny and the purifying influence of the heavenly music of his flute—these are things to rouse the enthusiasm of the Indian, and Mr. Phalke's first film showed the tremendous possibilities before the cinema trade. Cannot Interpret Indian Mentality Indian life is so differently organized to that of the Western peoples that it becomes almost impossible for them to understand Indian mentality and so cater for the Indian public. Things which are considered to be ordinary incidents in the life of the West are shocking to Indian ideas of propriety and good breeding. Western films showing scenes of love making are foreign to Indian taste, and but for the fact that the lower passions in man are a draw all over the world, they would never have been welcomed in the East, at least in India. The "Birth of Krishna," however, made the right kind of appeal to the Indian masses, and it was shown all over the country to tremendous audiences. I have known cases when people have driven in bullock carts across sandy deserts and troublesome hilly tracts, sometimes for days, in order to come to see with their own eyes the story of their deliya's birth. People have brought coconuts and garlands of sweet jasmine, chrysanthemums, roses, etc., and offered them to the screen on which the figure of their beloved Lord was seen as if alive. Sent Abroad to Study Then began a new development in India in the political sphere. The national consciousness of the people was roused by the World War and helped the cinema industry an nothing else would have done. Indian owned cinema theatres wanted Indian films to be shown on the screens, and the people flocked to these films as they never did before. India has a very long history behind her, and cinema producer found it to their advantage to delve deep into the old legends of Arvyn pioneers who first exploited that country several thousand years ago. From this treasure trove of thrilling incidents and wonders of magic and charm they took up stories for their productions, and the Indian market soon was flooded with these films. The industry was making steady headway in the direction of stage management, scenes, photography, and so forth. Studios were built, schools of acting were established, the country was scoured for talented, beautiful girls who could take up cinema acting as a profession; dwarfs and tall men and all sorts of human oddities were collected to give variety and supply the spies necessary to make the film a success. People were sent to Europe and America to study the art of "shooting" and find out the latest developments in studio work. Bigger schemes were floated, and by the end of 1920 there were over a dozen companies producing films in Bombay and surrounding districts. Very soon, however, the public got fed up with mythological pictures and the producers came down to the historical persons of the Middle Ages. Without entering into stories likely to rouse antagonism between the races, they fixed on some very striking instances in the interesting period of the seventeenth century and produced them on the screen. When West Portrava East There is reason why the Indian populace prefers to see its own productions to those sent from the studios of Hollywood. It would be nauseating to an Indian audience to see Hindu noblemen entering a sacred shrine where holy ascetics are offering prayers with foots' or shoes on, fully dressed, as they do in the film "The Young Rajah" in which. Rudolph Valentino takes the leading part. In another film, "The Tiger's Claw." Hindu names are given to Mahometan chiefs and Hindus are made to call "Allah!", which would be worse than death to them in ordinary lides. Persons in Indian dress who come arrayed in turbans would be ashamed to wear trousers, for the sewing of which an Indian tailor would be drumped out of his town. Instead of the flowing robes of the East, we get a sample of frock coat which would disgrace the East, as well as the West. These things were looked upon with tolerance in the beginning, but with the new rising of national consciousness they are not welcomed by the Indian public. It may be news to the outside world that Indian film producers have placed on the market more than 300 films, of about 6,000 to 7,000 feet each. More than 70 per cent of the cinema theatres in India—there are about 200 of these in that country—are showing Indian films exclusively, falling back on the foreign productions when their own stock falls short. There is a wonderful scope for these films outside India, as they would reveal the domestic life of India as nothing else will do. Indian scenery, Indian actors and accesses, Indian dress, Indian sentiments, all these will be as a breath of new life to the world outside, which seems to be getting tired of the same old type of shows, that are issued to them nowadays. Suggestions for Parents to Encourage in the Child Love for School The United Parents' Association of New York City, through its president, sent out the following suggestions to parents to guide them in their dealings with school children: "More and more, parents are beginning to realize the fact that teamwork between the home and school is an absolute necessity for the best educational results, and that the children of disinterested parents are actually hand-draped from the start." Mr. Schmid said, "For the guidance of fathers and mothers who wish to begin tomorrow with a clean slate and do their part in helping their children succeed, the United Parents' Associations offer these simple suggestions for parent cooperation: "Picture the school as a happy, desirable place rather than as one children dread. "Arrange the breakfast and lunch schedule so there is no rushing at home or to school. "Encourage punctually and regular attendance. Don't let titles interfere. "See that the children are dressed neatly, simply and modestly and I prepared for stormy weather. "Train the children to habit of obedience and respect for authority. "Find out about how much time should be devoted to home work and see that it is done. "Provide a quiet place for home study, with good light and restitution. Prevent interruptions a far more possible. "Show an interest in the children's school work, athletics and other activities. "Do not criticize the teacher or school within their hearing. 'Insist upon children under fourteen having at least ten hours sleep. 'Wear the classroom during National School Week. You will get a better understanding of comments. 'A school system is now being developed. The size of schooling should be highly informative to parents. Watch for them. 'Keep in mind that the school offers unlimited opportunities to those who take advantage of them, parents, as well as pupils. 'Plan to meet the other parents in the school. It will help you to keep up with your children. Intelligent cooperation brings about splendid results."

Recruiting for the new women's police force is opening shortly, and from the many applicants the Criminal Investigation Department hopes to get some bobbed-haired, daintily-gowned detectives who will prove more than the equals of the wily jewel thieves and dope traffickers or more men detectives to track them down. The authorities are satisfied many of the present crimes and robberies are engineered by a new set of smart criminals who can only be countered by detectives of the same outward smartness and equal wit. Suggestions to Housewives A baby should be dressed according to the temperature of his surroundings and not according to the season of the year. When making an apple pie, summer the peelings and cores together until they are soft, then strain the juice into the pie plate, making the pie in the usual way. This greatly improves the flavor. Remember that your kitchen is your workshop and your utensils are your tools. A good workman is known by the neatness of his shop and the good condition of his tools. Want Code of Morals Taught in Schools of U.S.A. What is said to be the first national movement to bring about moral training in the public schools of the United States has been launched through College's Weekly. The movement has the approval of the leaders of the largest religious denominations. The preliminary statement of the movement says: "Because of our differing beliefs, religious teaching has been barred from many of our public schools." "This has resulted quite unwise and unnecessarily as it begins us in there being little or no moral training for our children in those schools." Concerning supernatural religion men differ and divide, but normal religion lives in every human being. It is evidenced in that moral goods which we call conscience, which may be erudite or cultivated, but which is the essence of every system of morals because it is a part of the mind of every man. No one can understand the peculiarity for all persons of good and bad in the development of that fundamental force. We are obliged only in the past to think of it as something incomplete. The same moral matter can be imputed to the same virtue with the development of that moral force. As before, the support of the movement be has been town, and education be needed in both underground and above. The support must be for the present cause. The suggestion, will be and therefore the binder of the draft constitution, the statement in another draft, and the to all may be decided. The new draft will be submitted to the code in the present chapter.

Dept. RENZ, CHICAGO SHALL THERE BE A CHAPERON? Proper Early Training Eliminates Much Personal Supervision Shall there be a camperon or shall there be none? That depends upon how the children have been brought up. The time for the chapron is when the children are at the nursery age. They are shadowed and instructed and trained between the ages of two and twelve, and the teaching they get then is what makes the background for the disturbing teens. If the work has been well done it will hold and there will not be such pressing need for the personal supervision. The adolescent is in the stage of growth where his personality is just beginning to make itself heard from, and fairly bristles with new and prickly sprouts. He, or she, resents the implication that he is not adequate to any situation that may arise. But, of course, that depends upon many things: his early training, his characteristics and then the companion he has selected for the adventure. That other child is always an unknown quantity. One may have a working understanding of his own child, but the neighbor's child is a source of doubt and terror. Even watchful scrutiny reveals very little and our anxiety is barely outcalled when he enunciates himself or is annexed to the family group. It is that other child, of course, that makes us call for the chaperon. Wouldn't it be better all around if we made it a point to keep close to the children, and their affairs so that our presence or the shadow of it would be so familiar, so much a part of things, that they would accept it as a matter of course? There is no doubt about the need of an older person's influence on the doings of the children. We are sending out children who are altogether too young and too inexperienced to successfully stand up under, the strain of the present day excitement. Why not stick a little closer to the rules? If the children understand that there are to be no evening parties for them until they are at least eighteen, that they do not attend any public function until ended, that they are under the protection of their elder heirs; cause they are children and in need of that protection, wouldn't that help? Why not bring them up that way?

THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1924 (L'Opinion Nationale.) Au cours du XIXe siècle, la Nation Haitienne et la Nation Dominicaine ont constitué le territoire de l'Ile d'Haiti deux Etats indépendants. Malgré des péripéties diverses, inhérentes à la condition des peuples jeûnes, cherchant leur stabilité politique, elles avaient trouvé le moyen de vivre dans le concert des nations civilisées, lachant de maintainir l'ordre à l'intérieur de leurs frontières et leur prestige exterieur par l'observation rigoureuse de leurs obligations internationales. Elles étaient liées aux grandes nations par des traités spéciaux sur des sujets divers et des conventions, signées dans des conférences internationales. En 1915 et 1916 le Gouvernement des Etats-Unis de l'Amerique du Nord, profitant de la guerre Européenne, fit envahir le territoire de la République de Haiti et de la République Dominicaine, sous les prétextes les plus futiles, et détruisit leurs institutions politiques et leur indépendance. Pour des motifs non encore avoués, le Gouvernement des Etats-Unis a décidé de se retirer de la République Dominicaine et de continuer l'occupation d'Haiti, en vaintenant un gouvernement militarite. L'un des premiers actes des pouvoirs publics dominicains a été l'envoi à Port-au-Prince d'une Commission, présidée par le Secrétaire d'Etat des Relations Extérieures, pour se joindre à une pareille commission, formée par le gouvernement de facto d'Haiti, en vue du règlement de la question des frontières-baitiano-dominicaines. L'émoi cause par cette démarche, à laquelle le public haitien était loin de déattendre, a été grand et le sentiment public s'exprima par la voie de la presse dans un sens nettement défavorable au réglement, dans les conditions projetées. Ayant souffert de la même occupation militaire et des mêmes misères morales que le peuple Dominicain, le peuple Haitien avait le droit d'espérer que la communauté du malheur aurait déterminé entre les deux peuples une solidarité qui se manifesterait autrement que par cette surprise. Mais, en présence de l'ansxiété générale, le Chef de la Mission Dominicaire déclara, dans une interview à la presse de Port-au-Prince, que l'initiative du projet de réglement actuel revient au Gouvernement d'Haiti. La déclaration du Secrétaire au Dominicain n'a jamais été contrédite par le Gouvernement Haitien. Elle constitue desmaisons la vérité sur la matière. Il incombre au Sénat, le seul Corps élu par la nation Haitiienne, de protester à la fois contre l'initiative prise par le Gouvernement d'Haiti de provoquer, dans les conditions présentes, le règlement du différent haitiano-dominicain, et contre les pourparlers actuellement en cours. S'il est vrait que, dans la République voisine, les pouvoirs publics ont été réorganisés d'après les lois et la Constitution, il demeure non moins évident que ta République d'Haiti est encore militarmet occupée par l'armée des Etats-Unis du Nord et que le gouvernement qui domine n'est pas la libre expression de la volonté populaire. Le peuple Haitien a bien élu, le 10 Janvier dernier, un Sénat et quelques Dépôts; mais le défaut de quorum a empêché jusqu'à la Chambre des Dépôts de se constituer. Et les fonctionnaires qui exercent le pouvoir exécutif n'ont pas jugé刃ille d'ordonnar la tenue des élections complémentaires, conformément à la loi. Dans ces conditions, le consentement du peuple Haitien, qui ne peut être exprimé que par ses mandataires elus et dans leur compétence constitutionnelle ne pourra jamais être donné, sous forme de sanction législative. Le devoir du Sénat d'Haiti est de faire appel à la conscience de la Nation Dominicaine et aux sentiments nobles et droits de ceux qui la représentent, en rappelant au peuple frère que le but des négociations actuales sera imutile et vain, si le reglement projeté ne repose sur la libre discussion des intérêts de la Nation Haitienne et son consentement libre et légalement exprimé. La Paix par le Droit,elle doit être la devise de toute,conciliation internationale. Réponse du Professeur Locke à René Maran (Les Continents.) Cher ami et frère de race: Je vous remeriee pour la sincère franchise et la préoccupation raciale qui se manifestent dans votre récente lettre ouverte. Ma réponse vous porte le mot d'ordre d'une cause commune. Nos plumes, mises au service de la race, et vouées à combattre pour sa cause, ne sauraient s'opposer l'une à l'autre dans la controverse, et c'est pourquoi je vous salute fraternement. Notre combat se livre sur plusieurs fronts; mon chér M. Maran nos objectifs immédiates doivent donc forcement différer. Il y a encore a redresser quelques malencontreuses saillies qui parfois nous mettent dos à dos alors, que nous devrions nous tenir épaule contre épaule; il nous tir de d'être pris dans notre propre tir de barrage et décinir par nos propres shrapnels. Mais comme la mise en ligne de notre problème en cercle le monde chaque jour davantage, nous apprendrons à consiler nos positions et à obéir à un seul généralissime. Une coordination internationale est pour nous une interdiseuse nécessite; dès lors, quelque chose que vous puissiez dire, le son même de votre voix est le bienpuissant. C'est pourquoi je suis très heureux de vous dire que quelques de vous après avoir écrit ceci, je compte pouvoir m'asseoir auprès de vous pour parler de notre cause et de nos intérêts communs. J'aouterai que c'est la le motif qui m'a poussé à insister pour que vous veniez—et j'apprends que c'est chose qui est en train de se réaliser—nous rendre visite en Amérique. Le point essentiel pour nous, un cher Maran, ce n'est pas d'avoir une tactique commune, mais de delibérer en commun. Nous ne pouvons pas porter tous l'umiforme de la même nationalité, ou nous servir des armes de la même philosophie sociale. Mais nous pouvons et devons coordonnier nos efforts, et partager nos fardeaux comme nous partagerons, espérons-le nos victoires. Envisagée de cette façon, votre lettre sepréteute réellement un précieux surcroît d'information. Nos lecteurs L'acceuil eston, j'en suis sur, avec autant d'intérieur et de reconnaissance que moi. De pressants travaux académiques m'ont empchei jusqu'à d'examiner et de traduire certains passages dans un remarquable ouvrage de Madame Lucie Coussturier, "Des Inconnus chez moi." Mais je vous remercie d'avoir appelé mon attention sur plusieurs sources que j'ignorais, et dont je prendrai commaissance au premier moment favorable. Quant à mon article, mes feux de files ont été tirés de nos proprie trans-bées, et visent un but tout spécial. Je n'ai pas voulu discuter la politique française en Afrique, mais simplement la façon dont la France traite ses soldats noirs en Europe. Ma préoccupation primordiale à moment et d'opposer ce traitement de l'homme de couleur dans les armées françaises et dans notre armée américaine, et de rapporter des faits, bases sur mon observation et mon experience personnels, qui aideraient à justifier les soldats noirs en Europe des accusations calommatrices concernant leur conduite. Ces observations toutes spécifiques étaient bon de consurer sur une discussion sur une approbation de la politique co-miale française dont vous pouvez parler avec unifinement plus de competence que mon Pour mieux vous faire comprendre que je ne tends bien compte de la difficulté de résoudre une question aussi sérieuse et aussi complique que la nouvelle politique coloniale de la France, je vous drai que j'ai laissé les directeurs d'Opportunity et de the New Republic attendre me demi-amnee des articles sur et sujet que le leur avais promis depuis longtemps. D'après ce que j'avais vu et entendu dire, er ce que l'avais, observe en France et en Syrie, j'avais bien décidé à ne rien cérir avam de pouvoir visiter d'autres colonies et de me rendre compte par moimême de l'itat des choses. Vous voyez donc qu'il ne faut pas encore me compter; parmi les defenseurs du système que vous avez si sérieusement et si bravement denonné au monde entier. Rien de ce que je pourrai dire, je l'esperte, ne portera jamais ombrage à la cause' commune de la complete justice et de la liberté pour la race en tous lieux; maiseci n'importe pas qu'il faile refuser à la France des éloges pour certaines choses, parce qu'il y a lieu de la blâmer pour d'autres, à aussi bon droit peut-être. En outre, si vous connaissiez notre position en Amérique par opposition avec les faits réels, vous comprendrie certaines de nos éloges, tout comme nous pouvons très bien, connaissant votre position, comprendre votre blame. Telles choses, possibles au-noir en France, lui sont imposibles en Amérique; tels avantages et gains qui nous echoient en Amérique n'ont pas encore été obtenus en France. Dans l'un et l'autre cas, il nous faut en appeeler, pour l'observation, à l'exemple l'un de l'autre, mais, pour l'observation, chaque fois, en appelen de César, ivre à César dans son bon sens. C'est assez dire que nous combattons l'un pour l'autre en combattant pour nousmémés, surtout si nous conservons entre nous, comme nous devons le faire, et comme nous le ferons, cette union de but et de'tactique dont j'ai parlé, et dont nous sommes d'accord, j'en suis certain, pour reconnaître la nécessité. Dans ce dessein, qui est à la veille d'être, realise, je ne crois pas être trop présomptueux ni risquer, une deception en vous garantissant la sympathie croissante et les efforts de nos milieux éclairés en Amérique. Croyez aux sentiments de cédiale estime et de considération distinguee avec lesquels j'ai l'honneur d'être Apres l'ouverture du Congres de New York Le Prince Kojo Tovalou Houenou en Amerique (Les Contiments.) Notre directeur va témoigner aux noirs d'Amérique la fraternelle sympathie des noirs d'Afrique. Au moment même où s'ouvrait au Liberty-Hall de New-York un gigantesque congrès réunissant quelques milliers de reprécentants de la race noire, notre directeur s'embauquait à destination de l'Amerique où, pendant cinq mois, il va affirmer, au cours d'une longue tournée de propagande, la solidarité des noirs du veux et du nouveau monde. On sait qu'un des principaux problèmes auprès au Congrès de New-York est celui de la mise en valeur du Liberia par les noirs du monde. Grâce, aux formidables progres intellectus réalisés ces dernières aménies dans les universités négres de Washington, de la Caroline du Nord, d'Alabama, de Vingirie, de Tennessee, de l'Ohio, du Kausas, du Missouri et de Georgie, grâce au concours de techniciens appartenant à toutes les industries, grâce surtout aux désirs d'indépendance qui anime les 14 millions de noirs américains, ce projet serait en voie de réalisation. On prétend que des ingénieurs sont déjà partis pour le Liberia, oui ils préparent l'arrivée des premiers emigrants. Sur la rivière de Cavalla, des petites cités se dressent qui ressemblent bien plus à des cotages de Florida qu'à des villages négres. D'autre part, il paraît qu'une compagnie maritime, la Black Cross Navigación Company, sera bientôt en mesure d'assurer le transport de tous ceux qui veulent aider au développement du Liberia. Cette compagnie maritime organisée grâce à l'Inlassable propagande de quelques leaders, est bien entendu constituée avec des capitaux fournis par les noirs d'Amerique et les equipages de navires seront composés exclusivement d'hommes de couleur. Cette tâche est immense, et l'Avis d'un Africain pourra peut-être aider à sa réalisation. Il serait superif de presenter ici le prince Toukalou Honenon. Depuis la naissance de ce journal, nos lecteurs enent assez souvent l'occasion d'approcher la générosite de ses convictions, la lavante de ses artiques et l'education de ses propos pour qu'il ne son pas necessaire d'imister sur Lautentte qu'il apportera dans ses conférences an cours de sa courne de propagande en Amérique. Avant tout - et nous n'hésions pas à le repérer il veut assurer les partisans de Garvey et tous les autres presidents des lignes américaines, de l'indefectible solidarite qu'il trouveront toujours chez leurs frères d'Afrique. Cette commune affection reunitant tous les noirs en dépit des rivalités qui peuvent séparer les nations auxquelles ils appartiennent est assez belle et unique pour qu'on la donne en exemple aux blanches qui depuis des siècles n'ont jamais réalisé une alliance capable de durer plus d'hustre. Le prince Kojio Tovalon Honénou ne traitera pas que des sujets aussi généraux. Réservant ceux-ci pour le public des meetings populaires, il développera devant ses auditeurs universitaires des questions plus scientifiques, plus littéraires ou plus philosophiques. En chargement son président, le Prince Kojo Tovalou-Houenou, de ce cycle de conferences, la Ligue Universelle pour la Défense de la Race Noire, a répond au vœux de beaucoup d'Africains et d'Americains qui voient en lui une des figures les plus représentatives de l'élite noire. Si notre directeur passe d'un continent à l'autre, il ne déserté pas pour cela en colonnes. Nos lecteurs trouveront bientôt dans Les Continents des articles qui nous apporteront avec la fièvre américaine, la sagesse souriante de celui en qui Georges Pioch découvrait récemment "le visage même de la paix." Nous ne voulons pas lui adresser d'autres hommages. Aucun ne lui convientrait mieux, que celui-la. Aucun ne recueillerait mieux d'ici queques jours l'assentiment de ses auditeurs d'Amerique. Dans la quit du 28 juillet 1915 la capitale de la République libre et independante d'Haiti, Port-au-Prince, se réveillait sous une fusilade nourrite et apprenait que les marines du contre-amiral Caperton d'ordre de M. Woodrow Wilson avaient opéré un débarquement sur nos côtes et put, occuper quelques uns des points principaux de la ville. Sans déclaration de guerre de leur part, sans acte d'hospitalité du nôtre, profitant d'un interregne, et tandis que la France, l'Angesterre, l'Allemagne, etc., s'entrègeaient, les Etats-Unis de l'Amérique du Nord violaient un principe fondamental du droit des gens et, sous couleur de nous apporter l'honneur et le bonneur (sic), réalisaient le rêve déjà vieux de faire flotter le drapeau et dans la seule Ile des Grandes Antilles qui ne fut pas soumise encore à leur influence tant politique qu'economique. Car depuis 1898 les capitalistes états-unis, régnait à Cuba et à Porto-Rico. En 1905 les banquiers de Wall-Street avaient mis la main sur la République, Dominicaine, notre voisin limitrophe de l'Est. et pour 25 millions de dollars en 1914, le Danemark avait dit leur-vendre l'Ilôt de Saint-Thomas, les Iles Vierges des E. U. Les funestes contrats de 1910.—Banque, Emprunt, Chemiens de feir figues, bananes—avaient permis aux Farnham et aux MacDonald de parler haut chez nous, de pêcher en eau trouble, et de préparer leurs filets. Le 11 novembre 1915, à l'issue d'une sance memorable du Sénat Haitier et oi je fus appréhende pour être conduit en prison, tandis que mourne protestait solenlement à la tribune contre la violence qui était faite à notre pays, le 11 novembre 1915, les baïonnettes "démocrates" du "Grand Maboul de la Maison Blanche", M. Woodrow Wilson, les baïonnettes américaines imposaient a Haiti une convention très dure qui confiait aux Etats-Unis pour dix (10) ans, le Controle de ses douanes, la direction de sa Gendarmerie. L'imperialisme américain était arrivé à ses fins. Jarnais fallite ne devait être plus complète, plus célatante. Un mot de Funck-Brentang et Sorel que M. le Seateur Morlae-Morpeau citait prophétique ce 11 novembre 1915, résume la situation: "L'Etat intervenant manque par le fait même de l'intervention au respect qu'il doit à laouveraineté et à l'Indépendance de l'Etat dans les affaires duquel il intervient. L'intervention n'est donc pas un droit, car il n'y a pas de droit contre le droit, et la souveraineté des Etats est un principe essentiel du Droit des gens. L'intervention devient permanente. L'archéite en est la consique et conduitpromptement soit à la ruine de l'Etat, soit son assujettissement à une puissance étrangère." Précis du Droit des gens). L'Anarchie en effet suivit l'intervention américaine permanente, puisque, à l'heure présente, nous subissons encore à Haiti la présence thorrée des fusiliers yankees, et malgré les famieux Quatorze points du demiurge de la Société des Nations, feu Woodrow Wilson. Le sang, coula, coula, coula. Le 15 janvier 1920, a 5 h. 12 du matin un gros de partisans haitiens, les fameux Cacos, attaquaient à l'Armée Manche Port-au-Prince, où se trouvait cantonné le fort des troupes etats-unisiennes, qui commencèrent par detaler. Deux quartiers de la ville disparurent dans les flammes. Le major-general Barnett, commandant du marine corps, devait évaluer à 3,500 le nombre de nos compatriotes massacrés depuis la débarquement de ces "civilisateurs" survènus du "Far-West", ou des bouges des Etats du Sud. Le Parlement dissous une première fois le 5 avril 1916, let fut à nouveau le 19 juin 1917; la Chambre des Competes, l'Armature militaire du pays disparurent. Les locées départementaux se transformèrent en écoles primaires supérieures. Les dettes extérieure et interieure resterent impayées. Les deux tiers des employés publics révoqués, leurs appointements passèrent à quelques siniceristes américains, "démocrates méritants", et une misère, effroyable regna dans la presque totalité des frayers haitiens. Et cela est irrécusable, et nul homme de bonne foi ne la jamais contesté. Les cours martiales prévotales sissent encore, si les atrocités justement reprochees aux marines ont sans doute cessé. Et on ne peut qu'approuver ce mot vengeur 'qu'à Haiti c'est le plus terrible régime d'autocratie militaire que ait jamais été mis en oeuvre au nom de la Grande démocratie américaine." Les fils de la... libre Amérique pourchasser les journalistes dont mains furent condamnés aux traux'forces. Ils les pourchassent encore. Ici même, le leer juin 1924, on pouvait lire que "le président des Etats-Unis avait recu d'dernièrement une lettre d'un membre de l'Union patriotique haitienne à New York qui lui signalait les abus que se re- presentants continuaient de commettre à Haiti. "Actuellement, disaient Les Contents, il n'y a ni Chambre des députes, ni Sénat à Port-au-Prince. Six journalists qui avaient protesté contre cet état de choses, ont été imprisonnées." Nous qui savons combien dure, est la vie ménent les prisonniers la-bas sous la bottle ou la matraque des garde-chiourmes yankees, nous ne pouvons nous empécher d'envoyer à ces confrères malheureux une pénissee apitoyée et emue. Les fusiliers américains étaient arrivés en juillet 1915. En 1916, les marchands de la même nationalité suivirent. L'influence économique allemande fut partiellement et éphemerement ruinée en même temps que diminuaient visiblement, à l'avantage, du commerce américain, les influences économiques anglaise et française, et que des assaultes repetes se livraient a l'influence intellectuelle française, la seule qui compte encore chez nous. Car si le français est toujours notre langue officielle et litteraire, l'occupation américaine ne desespère pas de voir la langue un jour se parler couramment chez nous au point d'y remplacer la langue mervellleuse de Racine. Il reste cependant certain que si la France s'intéresse un peu plus à son Dominion intellectuel du Centre-Amérique, malgré les marines, Haiti, terreau de culture latine, tiendra et restera celle que Michelet appelait un jour, magnifiquement "la France noire des Antilles." On sait le role joue dans les elections présidentielles de 1920 par "la question Haitienne". Les douze millions de noirs américains représentent une force electorale immense. The Haytian Question, de nationale, prit les espèces et apparences d'une question racaie et ce, au grand mal des apôres de la ségregation des races, les démocrates. Cette question noire Haitienne fit boule de neige et aida "lavalanche républicaine" à broyer le parti Wilsonen. Cette victorie devait démontrer aux plus aveugles que démocrates et republicains sont d'abord des Américains, c'est-à-dire des imperialistes et des pragmatistes qui ne l'achont pas facilement leur proie, bien ou mal acquise. En décembre, 1921, une commission senatoriale americaine, présidée par le senateur républicain 'Medill McCormick, débarquant à Port-au-Prince, s'y livraient grosquement à un semblant d'enquête, ainsi dans quelques autres villes haïtiennes et l'auteur de l'article fameux paru dans The Nation, en 1920. Notre faille à Haiti, Our failure in Haiti, M. Medill McCormick, senateur républicain, concluait, au maintien de l'occupation militaire et à l'accréditement près du gouvernement haïtien d'un Ambassadeur Haut-Commissaire muni des pleins pouvoirs, lequel Haut-Commissaire regente même un peu beaucoup notre maireureux Etat qui n'en peut mais Ni M. Warren Harding ni M. Calvin Coolidge n'ont tenu les formelles promesses de leur programme de 1920 et 2,500,000 êtes humains continuant d'être livrés, dans ce ce qui des Antilles ensoleillées, à l'arbitaire, au bon plaisir, à la fantaisie parfois macabre de quelques fonctionnaires prévaricateurs et médiocres, s'appuyant sur des baionnaires inconsciemes et brutales. Mais, djsait Napoléon, "on peut tour faire avec les baionnaires, excepte de s'assoir dessus". Haiti, toute petite et isolée elle est, redevendra à n'en pas douter, une nation libre, independante, respectée et riche.

MOTON, AND THE RACE IS OVERCOME WITH EMOTION Happy Issue of the Long Fight for Control of Federal Hospital at Tuskegee—Dr. Washington's Belief in Men of His Race Bossing Their Job By DEAN KELLY MILLER in the Boston Chronicle The current issue of the Crisis contains a highly complimentary estimate of the head of Tuskegee. The laudatory article begins: "Our hats are in the air to Tuskegee and Moton." To my best knowledge and belief this is the first time the Crisis has uncovered in honor of any man. The article goes on to exalt Dr. Moton for his courageous stand in the perturbed issue of the Tuskegee Hospital tangle and for his manliness and uncompromising attitude on a delicate proposition put up to him by the Young Men's Christian Every Man Who Has L Force of Y Scientist Makes Wonderful Disc Years Shout 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 A new discovery is said to have been made by a scientific study of Serbian mountain people who scientists say, live longer than any other people. It is said this discovery will help to explain why all parts of the world and quickly restore many strength, youthful vigor, grace and beauty lost by neglect or abuse.

The new memory, premature senility, scrawny neck, restlessness at night, pain, bedchene, malady, despondency, etc., should disappear.

Tuskegee Veterans' Hospital About a year ago the Tuskegee turmoll was raging with terrible fury. The outcome looked omnious. It looked for a while as if the whole fabric of the life work of Booker T. Washington would be brought to naught. A white man was suggested to supplant the Negro principal on the ground that no colored man could weather the stress and strain of the turbulent situation. Let a brief recital of the facts tell their own story.

President Coolidge was true to his inherited trust. Although Dr. Moton opened not his mouth, yet he redoubled his enquiries in ways that count. He knew that the local clamor did not represent the voice or the view of the South, which has insisted from the first the Negro should handle his own professional needs. Who was it that changed the dominating attitude of the local Tuskegee whites into one of acquiescence and compliant acceptance of a Negro personnel which they had sworn by the fiery cross should never come to pass? Only one man knows and that is Dr. Moton, who, let us hope, some day in his own time and in his own way will tell the whole story. There were many co-operating agencies working together towards a common end. The very commotion of the public mind, precipitated in some instances, to embarrass the internal management served to convince the government that a final stand was necessary. But let no one deceive himself in the belief that the federal government is going to fly into the face of the southern prejudices and pass laws to vindicate the Negro. There was a master hand. Dr. Moton steered the ship safely between Scylla and Charybdis. Medical Association Aided The American, Medical Association through its president, Dr. O. M. Dumase came valiantly to the rescue. The hospital, in its professional aspect comes under the Veteran's Bureau. The old argument was readily on the tongue. There are Negroes qualified for the responsible tasks of managing a technical special government hospital. The Medical Association furnished them with a list of men who were ready and willing to meet any test that the medical profession imposed upon eligible applicants. The Bureau became convinced that the proposition of a Negro personnel was professionally feasible. Dr. Dumase stood upright and down straight at every turn of the controversy for a complete Negro staff from top to bottom. Any other proposition would have been a serious reflection on the Medical Association which he represented. If the Negro doctors are incapable of manning and managing a hospital, what right have they to ask the race to trust their lives and health to its keeping? If after two generations of assisted preparation, the Negro is not new ready to man his own institutions, it is high time to inquire the reason for this regress. Tuskagee is the largest foundation existing among Negroes. Dr. Washington and Dr. Moen have stood at the helm from the beginning. This is no league a matter of experiment. The fact that Dr. Moen, through his initiative, resources and tactfulness, has been able to bring order out of the Tuskagee confusion refutes forever the necessity of a white man mediation in management of Negroes' afakas. The outcome of the Tuskegee situation should teach us all a lesson. The head of this institution works to certain definite ends with clearly understood means and methods. The Tuskegee idea is to bring together the best influence in the North and South and have them work together for the betterment and uplift of the Negro, under Negro management and control. Whoever undertakes to administer this trust must do so in this spirit. He cannot say all that he feels. He cannot outwardly applaud all that he inwardly approves. Others are so situated as to advance many lines of racial advantage which limitations of Tuskegee make it expedient to openly espouse. This is true of any man who is harnessed up to a great concrete interest with laid out plans and established modes of procedure. Praise For Dr. Moton I have known Dr. Moton for more than a quarter of a century. I met him under the green tree at Hampton. While I do not claim any undue or unusual intimacy with his plans or purposes, yet I take some pride in my ability to pachyopyge and size up men. Dr. Moton measures up to the fullness of the stature of a man. His very impulse beats in harmony with the highest racial aims and aspirations. The confidence which the white people place in him is not misplaced. He is level headed, safe and sane. He takes a becoming interest in all matters of racial welfare as far afield from the Tuskegee basis of operation as prudence and good judgment will allow. The race can surely follow the lead of the Crisis in this instance. Hate off to Tuskegee and Dr. Moton. The Southern Workman Is Rich for September The current issue of the "Southern Workman" (published by the Hampton Institute Press) contains an interesting illustrated article on the Bethlehem Center, Nashville, Tenn., by Martha Nutt, its supervisor. A sympathetic article on the American Indian, entitled "Wanted: An Interpreter," by Elise E. Newton, is also illustrated. The number contains the address of Dr. James E. Gregg, principal of Hampton Institute, delivered at the congrencement of Wilberforce University last June; an article by Weaver Pangburn, of the Playground and Recreation Association, entitled "Organized Play for Negroes"; the description of "A Modern Health. Crusade" by an energetic industrial supervisor, Mary A. C. Holliday; and an account of the activities of the Philadelphia Armstrong Association by John T. Emile. Mention is made elaborately of the Flask University Endowment Fund; recent conferences at Betts Academy at Christiansburg, and the national meeting of the teachers incolored schools; also the splendid achievements of the State of Delaware along educational lines. Hampton's recent Summer School, the largest in its history, is also described, and there is an account of an important and valuable gift to the Institute Library. NEWS AND VIEWS OF DIVISIONS CIEGO DE AVILA, CUBA On Sunday night, August 31 last, a very enthusiastic mass meeting was held in Liberty Hall. From the great crowd that assembled it was evident that the Negroes of this town had become aroused to racial consciousness and that a new and determined spirit to work for the reclamation of Africa and the enunciation of the 400,000,000 members of our race was uppermost in their minds. At 8 p. m. sharp the meeting was called to order by Mr. J. Gainor, acting president. The opening odd was sung, followed by the devotional rides performed by Mr. M. F. Davaler, executive secretary. An anthem, "Blessed Are Ye that Come," was sung by the choir with much gusto. Mr. Davetal, as acting chaplain, gave an outline of the servitude of the Israelites in Egypt until their arrival in Canaan. He compared the history of the Israelites with that of the Negroes of modern days, and pointed out that it was only through united effort that the Negro can be freed. Mr. Galnor gave a brief outline of the convention as delineated in the columns of the Negro World, and expressed the conviction that from this convention much would be achieved to the advantage of the race. "A song, "Marching to Africa," was sung by the choir. Mr. J. Allen gave an address and applauded Mr. Garvey as the only true leader of the race, and admonished his hearers to stick to the principles of the U. N. I. A. until Africa was redeemed. A song by the choir, "Roses of Life," was much appreciated. A recitation, "Our Flag," was given by Mign A. Sydney, first lady vice-president. Next was a solo by Mr. J. Henry, "Ye Men of 'tars'." An address was given by Mr. R. T. Webley, who spoke interestingly on slavery and gave a brief historical review of slavery from its incipiency to the emancipation of Negroes in the West Indies and America. He portrayed the frightful ill-treatment the Negroes underwent dur- his slave gown and extended his heels to stand by the promenon of the U. N. I. A., which is the only salvation for the Negro. He concluded by saying: "The time is not far distant when the many, wrong that our sav- fathers have been forced to bear will be repugged by us." After this heartening speech a song was rendered by Mrs. Pittor which enthused the audience. Mr. T. E. Oborna gave an address which was very interesting and impressive. He said in conclusion: "Negroes will rise to the highest point in modern civilisation if they will be but united and work under their own initiative. Despite what men may say of the U. N. L. A., it has caused not less than 66 per cent of the Negro population of the world to think, and to think wisely. A duet, "Home, Sweet Home," was sung by Miss R. Thomas and Miss R. Sieverlain, who received quite an ovation. After the notices were given out the national anthem was sung, followed by the benediction. JACKSONVILLE. FLA. The Jacksonville Division of the U. N. I. A. held a grand mass meeting on Sunday, Sept. 7, 1924. The meeting was opened in the usual manner. Mr. E. D. Denis, second vice-president, presided on this occasion.

Green, first vice-president. Address by Rev. R. T. Sims. The Sleeping Negro." Address by Hon. C. B. Johnson, president of the South Jacksonville Division.
