NATIVE AFRICANS TO BOYCOTT PRINCE AND PLEAD WITH THE UNITED STATES FOR CLEMENCY FOR MARCUS GARVEY
The Hon. Marcus Garvey is in good spirits and is greatly cheered by the splendid loyalty and enthusiasm for the cause which Negroes are displaying the world over. He desires his fellow men of the Negro race to know that the best way in which they can lighten his suffering is by standing unflinchingly and solidly behind the program of a free and redeemed Africa, with the United States of Africa as the great objective.
Let no criticism, no hindrance, no subterfuge. I care not from which quarter it comes," he says, "cause you to lose heart or hope, but keep on carrying on until you are accorded your rightful place in the sun."
AFRICANS AND THE U. N. I. A.
Since his incarceration nothing that has happened in the world of Negroes has given the great leader more courage and made him more surely feel that his efforts are not in vain than the widespread awakening of the natives of Africa, their avowed determination to support the principles of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and their fearless assertion of their God-given rights to live like human beings in an Africa governed and controlled by Africans.
The omens are propitious and the sun is surely shining. In South Africa the natives have risen up in their wrath against the mistreatment of their women and themselves by the aliens. Twenty-two thousand Kaffirs have struck work in resentment against the attempt of the British Government to stop the brewing of native beer. In Morocco, as all the world knows, Spain has been humiliated by the stalwart tribesmen, while the war-like Senussi gentlemen of North Africa are up in arms against the detestable overlordship of Italy. Now comes the news, as cabled by a white correspondent to the New York Times, stating that the Prince of Wales, who will some day be at the head of the British Empire, is being boycotted by the natives in protest against the wrongs perpetrated against them by the people of whom he is the living symbol, and that the imprisonment of
PRESIDENT OF NATIVE AFRICAN CONGRESS SAYS "THE SUN IS SHINING AND NOTHING CAN STOP IT"
"AFRICA IS A BLACK MAN'S COUNTRY AND WILL REMAIN SO"
THE WORK OF THE U.N.I.A. IN ITS FIRST FIVE YEARS IS FAST BEARING FRUIT, AS SEEN IN WIDESPREAD AWAKENING IN AFRICA
Marcus Garvey has but added flames to the fires which are raging throughout Africa. The garbled news, as it appeared in the New York Times, is as follows:
DURBAN NATIVES CANCEL WELCOME
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa, April 21.—Bitter references to the fatal rioting at Bloemfontein were made at a native congresss today. The select committee delegated to draft an address of loyalty to the Prince of Wales decided, in the light of the Bloemfontein "massacre," to discard their arrangements in that connection and unanimously recommended that the congress, "as a protest against the wanton killing of innocent people by Europeans, address a mandate to all African peoples to refrain from making any demonstration or presenting any address."
The recommendation was adopted.
The congress discussed, but eventually shelved, a motion to plead with the United States Government to show clemency to Marcus Garvey, exponent of "race freedom," who is serving a term of five years imprisonment.
During the discussion the president of congress said:
"The time will come when in convention we shall pass such resolutions, whether the white man likes it or not. The sun is shining and nobody can stop it. Do not be worried by statements that this is a white man's country. That it will never be. This is black man's country and will remain so."
ALL NOT TOLD
No sensible Negro will believe that the above cable is a faithful report of the happenings in Johannesburg on April 21. But, such as it is, it must convince the doubting Thomases and the skeptics that the redemption of Africa
is a very practical project and that the cry of Marcus Garvey of "Africa for the Africans" is but the rallying call of a great patriot, a sound statesman, and a deep and sane thinker.
Africa will be redeemed; Africa must be redeemed, and its redemption will be hastened by the help that men of African descent in the Western World give their brothers at home. The selfish, race-destroying spirit that is being evinced by a certain group in America does not, thank God, permeate the mass of Negroes of this country.
NEGROES OF WESTERN WORLD MUST
HELP
If the native Africans are to work out the salvation of Africa, and if this must be done before Christ comes the second time, "outside help," which certain narrow-minded Negroes deprecate, must be forthcoming. It is "outside help" in the form of the money and resources and propaganda of loyal Irish-Americans that is responsible for the fact that the flag of an Irish Free State now floats over an Irish Embassy at Washington. It is "outside help" in the form of the money, resources and propaganda of black men of the Western World that will make the Negro everywhere hold up his head and be respected in a hard, material world.
For five years the Universal Negro Improvement Association has spread the propaganda for a free Africa throughout the world, at a great expense to the Negro peoples of the world. Considering the billions of dollars at the disposal of those who fought to down the U. N. I. A. and foil its propaganda, the money spent has been a mere pittance and will prove, in the light of future events, to have been the soundest investment ever made by a people.
WHAT THE U. N. I. A. HAS DONE
Being able to point, as we are today, to an awakened race, fully conscious of its potentialities, we of the Universal Negro Improvement Association can discount and ignore the jealous thrusts of those who seek to minimize our accomplishment in the interest of this down-trodden race. Those who follow the trend of world events cannot fail to perceive and be convinced that the Universal Negro Improvement Association is doing a grand and glorious work, the full import and influence of which will only be truly gauged by the historian and a grateful posterity.
BEAUTIFUL PARTS OF AFRICA THE PRINCE OF WALES IS VISITING
From the New York Times
When the Prince of Wales lands in South Africa the last week in April there await him, kaleidoscope contours to a degree not found on any other continent. Modern civilization exists in the kept cities border on seemingly limitless whites. Poverty is found side by side with wealth. Brilliant sunshine yelts to tormental rains. If the help to the British throne seeks division in South Africa, he should find it in the diversity of experiences.
When the Prince leaves the Republic at Capetown he will be welcomed to a modern city with impressive public buildings, wide, clean streets, one of the finest street car systems anywhere and automobiles mostly of American manufacture—Henry Ford has his own assembling plant at Port Elizabeth. Capetown with its quarter of a million inhabitants is the legislative, educational, and commercial center of South Africa. In suburbs for loveliness of setting and majesty of scenery are equaled by few other cities.
Dominating the whole scene is Table Mountain, which rises a 3,900 feet behind the city. Its two-mile front is partly covered with vegetation, and its sides are torn in spots by ravages down which torrent crush after a rain. To reach the summit of Table Mountain, the Prince must follow a drive down the road, while to the right, far below an azure sea breaks into white foam against the rocks. And in the afternoon the Prince will see the famous "tableau" formed by white clouds resting on the 49-metre top. The Cape Nerros that the Prince will encounter are considerably different in behavior from the more primitive and probable ones in the interior. The Cape Nerros were mostly Europeanized clothes, has been converted to the white man's religion and is allowed to vote and buy liquor. From Capetown, the royal visitor will motor through some old French and Dutch settlements, by sleepy hamlets, tobacco and fruit farms to Hungomut, which was founded by French refugees at the beginning of the eighteenth century, to Moselle Bay, one of the great forwarding and distributing points of the Union of South Africa.
Although the Prince probably will not say so, he will doubtless find this one of the most dreary and depressing places he has ever visited. With its few grungling grasses exposed to a merciless sun or to the raging storms which occasionally turn into torrents from enterral Mossel Bay and its brown, dusky houses on brown, sandy hills is in striking containt to the Prince of Wales's next stopping place, the "Wilderness" at Lake Kusuya. Here, amid luxuriant vegetation, is one of South Africa's summer resorts. In the neighborhood, at Outdshoorn, in a large ostrich farm territory. Many ostrich farmers went out of business when the children's crews went against the wearing of ostrich feathers, judging from recent modes the South African ostrich farmer has a market once more.
By this time it will be the second week in May, and the second month of winter, as the seasons are reversed in South Africa.
In the western provinces the rain is heaviest from May to July, while in the eastern section Juno is the deadest month of the year. In this season the Prince of Wales experiences some of the bleakness of the experience on the land and the very wet days; the dust, without question one of the curses of the country, which even in the rainy season appears in sudden clouds and thots out the landscape as successfully as a London fog; and the whirlwind, which rises suddenly from the ground occasionally to great heights, carrying everything with it in its swift, twisted path.
Another Niljoy to the South African motorist is the succession of gates blocking the road every few miles. Particularly in the treeless Orange Free State are these obstacles prevalent. Approaching one of the ob-

structions, the motorist stops, gets out of his car, anchors the gate, swings it out and generally must lift sagging parts, gets back into his car, drives through, gets out again, closes the gate, hooks it and then climbs into his car and drives to the next gate. The gate is then closed, the condition of the gates are protective of a great deal of usable bad language.
From Blenconfortin, which is now very British and the seat of an Anzacian Bishopic, the Prince of Wales will go to Bauteoland. This territory, with its six million inhabitants, often has been called the Switzerland of Afrika. Long before the Blochsevihl philosophy developed, Bauteoland was communal and there are no private land owners. About one-half of its 12,000 square miles is uninhabited, while the rest is owned by the Bantu people, one of the most intelligent of the black African races. The few white settlers were admitted only after special permission.
After a visit to Boer War battlefields and Durban, the Prince will motor from Natalie Zulukland. This journey should prove to be one of the most delightful of the South African visit, for the road lies for the great part through swaying sugar can fields. The long, brilliantly lighted green leaves of the cane when caressed by a gentle breeze undulate like an expanse of green ocean. The country is semi-tropical and there are many cotton, rice, cayenne pepper, tobacco and tea plantations. Habitations of races from three continents—Europe, Africa and Asia—are passed.
At Eshowe, beautifully stunned 1,600 feet above the Indian Ocean, the Zulu probably will turn out in full force and stage a war dance for the Prince. There is no nation more courageous, honorable and likeable in Africa than the Zulu, since the Zulu were one of the greatest fighting and conquering people on the Dark Continent, Zulu men and women today look like beautifully proportioned, chony figures. They have lost none of their agility and rhythm.
Again, through the gently swaying sugar fields and up into the mountains the royal party will go next to Swaziland and its capital, Mbabane. This territory of 7,000 square miles dotted with villages and kraals is ruled in reality by a British High Commissioner and, in home, by the Chief Regent and the paramount which The Chief Regent, once a powerful native Queen who commanded a vast army of impels or soldiers, is today blind and remains all day in her royal armor. The regent, these are Europeans, they are introduced by the Commissioner and are taken to the Kraal, where they have to enter the Mazre, which is used to hide the real abode of the Regent from the gaze of "undesirable." The Prince, no doubt, like other European visitors, will be received by the Queen's secretary, a Zulu who wears European clothes and speaks English. He will

THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, MAY 2, 1925
Great Reception Extended the Visitors — Mammoth Mass Meeting at Liberty Hall with Plenty of Enthusiasm and Elogience
Written for The Negro World By L. L. BARNES, Pt. Limen, C. R. The "Booker Washington," Ragail of the Black Cross: Navigation and Trading Company, steamed into port Thursday, March 19. There were several other ships in paces, ships of the Great West Pier and of the Hamburg-America Lines. I was very proud to see that through the instrumentality of the Hon. Marcus Gaye, the Negro could own a ship that could be rated with ships of other nations of the world.
On account of dockage being limited, the "Booker Washington" was unable to berth until Saturday; however, the mastmaster and dignitaries of the L. N. A. were taken off in advance. Mr. S. L. Gordon, financial secretary of the division, with the assistance of the other officers, arranged for a mast-mass meeting on Friday March 20 at Liberty Hall. The hall was beautifully decorated with flags and banners, of the Association. Seated on the rostrum were the Hon. G. E. Carter, Secretary-General; Lady Henri-Léon, President; Madam Do-Menna, Lady Secretary for the Parent Body; C. H. Bryant, High Commissioner for Costa Rica, Nicaragua and Panama; Hon. D. T. Roberts, Division President; and many other distinguished visitors.
the choir left nothing to be desired, Mr. Robertson, the choir-master, is to be credited for some. The Boy Souris, under the command of Messrs. Lavar and Collins, is certainly second to none in Central America, to order at 8:00 p. m. by the President, Mr. Roberts. "After the preliminaries, the speakers for the evening were introduced.
The first speaker was the Right Boy, Bishop Jackson, of the American Church. "In a neat and brilliant way he landed the work of Garvey, and urged his hearers, to stick close to the principles of the U. N. L. A., for the future," he could be obliged. Indeed, he is a William Eiff of Lionon. The next speaker says Mime-Demean, who spoke on "Not for Today, but for Tomorrow." She said in part, "It was the tomorrow that caused the Pilgrim Fathers to journey to America and 'conquer the Indian' and build up a great America; so the Negro should not be satisfied with present conditions, but arrive to lay a proper foundation to the tomorrow. She should help the Negro to please behalf of the Black Cross Navigation & Trade Company. The Hon. Marcus Driver, in speaking to Modam Do Mena, said that she would be the money better for the Association, but I would say more—she is a money digger. She certainly knows how to dig for it. Lady Henrietta Vinton Davas gave a short but instructive address. She also read a letter to the Hon. Marcus Driver, who said that he could not be on the "Booker Washington" on account of matters of which he had no control.
Last, but not least among them all was the "Big Gum," the Hon. G. E. Carter, Secretary-General. He briefly outlined his experiences on board the "Booker Washington" and urged the members to support the new venture; he then launched into an instructive and inspiring sermon, taking for his subject, "And He Went a Little Further and Inspired sermon, taking for his audience listened to him with rapt attention. The meeting was brought to a close at 11:45 p.m.
Saturday was the day set aside for visiting the ship. The morning was bright and the birds were all singing, seeming to welcome the new era of "Ethiopia." The whole Saturday was a regular holiday. From early morning could be seen Negroes wending could be seen Plumeri Plier, there to Lehoid the Flasher of Cross Navigation & Trading Company at 8:00 a.m. the "Booker Washington" was drawn to her herb, beautifully decked with flags. The visitors went and examined the ship from how to stern and pronounced it well done. The writer had the privilege of seeing a woman down in the engine-room. For the crookers, the visit of the ship, made them feel bad, especially when they saw the colors of the lad, Black and Green on the flag-staff of their lighthouse, scratched their lilies as much as they could, more than we do to impede the march of the U.N. I. A." The "Booker Washington" calls for Jamaica via Boca del Toro and Colon, taking passengers and freight. All ends well.
The Need of Co-operation
Co-operation in all lines has proven to be a boon to mankind. We have in an age of the forming of combine How necessary is it for our people to get together and pool their interests. The progress of a race depends largely on its ability to unite in one bond, combining their efforts along all lines. Great good has come through the merging of the financial interests. The high goal of success can be attained and directly through the channel of Unity. We know that whoso know are long, how sublime a thing it is to suffer and be strong.

Their Big Gatherings of Welcome and High Enthusiasm Based More on Curiosity Than Loyalty—Deep Resentment at Bottom of It All
Written for The Negro World
By J. MILTON BATSON
If sentiment among the native Africans—at-home counts-for anything Africans aboard will not take seriously latest reports with reference to the enthusiasm of and the gala reception given to His Royal Alhassas day the natives. Preparation of great magnitude, doubtless, had been made for the Prince's reception in the "Colonies," "Protectorate" and "Spheres of Influence" in Africa, and the natives who never having seen the King's son, may have turned out in unusually large numbers to see just what His Royal Alhassas looks like. Western Hemisphere should not interpret this action on the part of the African natives as being "loyal," but rather "curious." The facts are, as I found them in East and South Africa, and particularly on the West Coast of Africa during my travels through that part of the "world's paradise" during the past year, that ninety-five per cent of the natives under British dominion are absolutely sick and tired of British misrule and opression, and express unmistakably a sentiment clearly in favor of the French. This may be running out of the fire, from their own experience in places such as Qa'and Bassam, Kotog Toungol, Dahony, Susandra, San Pedro and Tabor's every coast, all French possessions.
Why those native men and women on the west coast of Africa are all in favor of French administration is not clear to me. "A dawning rat, however, catches at a feather." it is said. That the Africans on the West Coast are pursuing this course rather than allow it to become into the "sea of British aloftness, greed, exploitation, overlordism, misrule and terrorism," the only view I can take of the matter.
Speaking to an Ashanti native in his little coast in First Street, Seconde Gold Coast, the home of brass, steel, iron, copper, cocoa, kernels, mishang and gold, I asked him, among other things, "How do they treat you - white man? What do you, he could not speak much English, embark on and with a scornful expression on his face he replied, 'No good; no good, white man's God no good; suppose talk no hear, white man kick, no good.' What is true of this man is also true of tens of high native officials with whom I have spoken in Seconde. Leroy Dinkle, Dixcore, Quittar, Accera the capital of the Gold Coast; Lagos and other parts of Nigeria, who had been making the best of life under German rule, are now to be found scattered all over the West Coast in search of a better place than Dunda, as it is now under the rule of its present masters. At Calabar, Nigeria, the "atlanta" of West Africa, the emancipation proclamation of the Victorian age and the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill mean the same things. Slavery in this part of Africa is as rampant today as it was in the past. The British, Whipping and kicking natives around can be compared only with tennis or golf.
Speaking to some native friends—I am a black man and it was necessary for me to have made friends among my own people—in front of the Atlantic Ocean, I noticed this story was related to me by one of these men, an educated native
Mobile, Ala., April 15. A playground for the colored children of this city was dedicated on April 5 in the presence of two thousand people. The city commissioner of parks and playgrounds delivered the principal address. The enterprise was promoted by the local interacial committee, headed by Mr. E. G. Rickarby and Dr. E. T. Belaw, the white and colored chairmen respectively. Through a member of the committee, the Harmon Foundation was asked for a donation to the project and a grant of $2,000 was made by the Foundation, conditioned on the raising of $1,000 locally for equipment and the assurance of an annual appropriation of $300 a year for maintenance. The project grants will be subject to amounts by subscription, but the city authorities being apprised of the offer volunteered to make the $1,000 appropriation and to guaranteed the annual maintenance. The playground is well located near a big park school, and will probably be enlarged later to the dimensions of a park.
A colored day nursery also just been opened in Mobile, under the auspices of the intercollegiate committee. A competent nurse has been employed and provisions made for the care of early children. The intercollegiate committee will be represented by the white and colored people on a city-fity basis. The first people in the city are cooperating in the project. In addition the intercollegiate committee has been active in ensuring street improvements and the protection in colored areas. The city administration has given further friendly and considerate.
Has 28,000 Books in Daily Circulation, but Could Have Three Times as Many—Opening of Department of Negro Literature and History
The 135th street library needs more readers in order to get more books. The book appropriation of each branch library depends entirely on the home use of its books by actual count. In the list of forty-three branches, the 135th street ranks, varyingly, as tenth to fifteenth from the bottom. The book collection is not huge, but in quality it compares favorably with the other branches. The library invites comparison if anyone is sufficiently interested to make it by visiting the central library, where all records are kept, or other branches, in order to study their catalogues.
But this library has not sufficient funds to buy more than one or two copies of each new book; in case of very popular books, two to four copies. So it is necessary for people to wait for the books they want. They have to wait also while readers keep out popular one-week books for two or three weeks and lend them to their friends. This is not fair to those who use the library, and not to those who do not use the library. For the more books that by actual record are taken out, the more money will be given the library for buying more books.
The library wants readers to speak of the books they want, by title. The funds are so small that in special classes of expensive books and those which quickly are supervised by others only titles will be purchased which people really want. Such classes of books are those in education, historical textbooks, technical subjects, like design, mechanical drawing, automobile mechanics, etc. Also we invite those interested in religion, in various lines of sociological thought and in advanced professional subjects for tell us about the people we need. Soaking up more than any subject except fiction. This is a splendid record, and speaks well for both the library collection and the interests of readers. Help us make each subject as vital and up to date as this one.
We invite use of the library by more people who never use it at all. Students, writers, professional people all use the library, but we want business men, households, working boys and girls. We have good books on our shelves which people would enjoy in their leisure moments, in elevated or subway train—good stories, thrilling books of travel, lives of great men and women. Colored men are going into business in Harlem. There are valuable books on retail trade, business management, and travel. Way May we thank you. And we are building a splendid collection on the Negro, his history and achievements. Are not the young people interested in this subject? They do not learn about it in the schools. But the library offers such books to them for the asking.
The rules of the library are simple. Every big institution must have some rules, and we have to remember that this is only one branch among forty-three, with a daily average circulation of books of 28,000. Many books are lost, stolen or never returned by readers. Accurate and businesslike records are necessary to safeguard the public's property. But remember, the library is open to everyone, and it is free. Use it, respect its rules and try to make it more useful, more widely known and more the property of the entire community.
The library is supported entirely by public taxes. It is under the management of the New York Public Library Corporation, but it gets no money expended on public taxation. The corporation funds support only the great reference Library on Forty-second street.
This is why our funds are small, why it is necessary to bring books back promptly to insure their most intensive use, and why the library is everyone's responsibility.
The last book eventing of the year at the 155th street library will be held Thursday, April 20 at 8:30. Mr. Jean Toomer will speak on "Towards Reality." Mr. John Farrar, editor of the Bookman, will preside, and we are expecting many literary notables to be present. Mrs. Charlotte Murray will sing a group of spirituals. On May 7 will occur the opening of the Department of Negro Literature and history. This is under the auspices of the New York Public Library and Historical Society. Mr. Arthur Schomburg, president. The tentative program is rich in promise of good things. The department is the home of the 155th street library. All are cordially invited to visit it at the close of this program.
The program will be conducted in the auditorium of the library, but the department is established on the third floor. The room has been altered to suit the special needs of such a department, and a large library collection of books, pamphlets and prints will be on view as well as a number of paintings by Mr. Ernest Braxton.

Boycott Ordered Against the Prince of Wales by the African Native Congress Over Shooting Into Some 4,000 Natives by the Union Soldiery—Critical Times in British Africa
DEAN INGE SCORES
MODERN PREACHING
Some History of the Modern Church and Influence on Civilization—No Clear Rules in Bible, He Says, on General Principles to Be Applied to Life
From the New York Times
NEW HAVEN, April 20—Applause seeking by the pulpit was set forth today by Dean William Ralph Inge, of St. Paul's Cathedral, London, on the crying evil of the modern church. Dean Inge gave his first lecture in the Lyman Beecher course of Yale as a feature of the sixteenth convection of the Yale Divinity School.
Modern tendencies of the pulpit, to please and not to profit, he cited as dangerous to the Christian Church. No detailed rules for modern life are found in either testament, he said, general principles alone being given.
An interview, given upon his arrival here, on the Dean Inge Judged an editorial of The Yale Daily News which calls for revision of constitutional handling of the liquor problem which would allow the use of light wines and beer.
This opinion he seconded by an allusion during his address in Battell Chapel in which he pictured the citizens of today, surrounded by the products of the printing press, which world residents of former centuries lacked, sitting in an arm chair, feet on the fender, fortified by such creature comforts as the country allows.
The dean was introduced by President Angell of Yale, as one of the most prominent clergymen of the world, who have contributed to modern religious thought.
In his indictment of the desire for applause on the part of many ministers, Dean Inge said:
"There are many preachers who make long sermons. If they are well applauded they are as happy as if they had obtained a kingdom. If they bring their sentiments to an end in silence, their despondency is worse. I may dimish their hell. It is this that rulns churches. That ye do not seek to hear sermons that touch the heart, but sermons that will delight your cara with the intonations, and that will delight your cara with the intonations, and that if you were listening to singers and lute players. And we preachers humor your fanacles instead of trying to crush them. We not like a father who gives a sick child a cake or iron or something else that is merely nice to eat just because he asks for it and takes no pain to give him what is good for him; and then when the doctors blame him, says, I could not bear to make my child cry." That is what we do when we elaborate beautiful sentences, fine combinations and harmonies to please and not to profit—to the admonition of theologians did not to teach you, to go away with your applause in your cars and not to better your conduct. Believe me, I am not speaking at random. When you pupil me as I speak I feel at the moment as it is natural for a man to feel. I will make a clean breast of it. Why should I not? I am delighted and then, when I go home, and I reflect that the people who have been applauding me have received no benefits, and that, indeed, whatever benefit they might have had,
FRENCH WEST INDIES
AND INDO-CHINA
Is the United States Seeking to Secure Them in Payment of the Huge War Debt—Deputy Candace Objects
From the New York Sun
PART I, April 54. The French colonial Deputies of all colors are up in arms against the proposals considered by Callaux for the sale of the French colonies in the Antilles and Indo-China to America and Britain in settlement of debts.
The advocates of the sale of Indo-China must say that it is spuriously wealthy and will appeal to American business instincts; at the same time providing America with an invaluable naval base in the Pacific in case of war with Japan. Supporters of the sale of the Antilles imagine that America would be an anxious purchaser, since it would make possible a more strict control of rum running.
Among the most vehement protesters in Deputy Candida, from Guadaloupe, where it would be a crime against Prussia to sell an inch of her Colonial empire. All the colonies are now self-supporting. While all are not exploited fairly, the next generation will find through the most fertile field for its activities."
HOW TO CONTROL OTHERS
(From the New York Sun)
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa, April 21 (Associated Press).—The native riots at Bloomfontein, with the loss of several lives, are declared by special dispatches to be part of a wider movement, fomented by native leaders bent on attaining a higher status for the blacks.
It is known that meetings have been held here at which speeches of an extremist nature were delivered and enthusiastically received. It is uncertain, however, whether there is any communist influence behind the agitations.
LONDON, April 21.—Special dispatches from Capetown represent the outbreak at Bloomfontein, where four wounded yesterday by police during a riot, as symptomatic of "an alarming and increasing restlessness among the South African natives," inflamed by Kafir agitators and by Bolshevik and Communist influences.
One feature of the present unrest is said to be a movement to boycott the Prince of Wales when he arrives. The Capetown correspondent of the Daily Express says thousands of hurls have been distributed among the natives of Johannesburg urging them to indulge in indulgence and adding, "British imperialism, whose representative is about to visit South Africa, is largely responsible for your exploitation."
The Daily Mall's Capetown correspondent declares the unrest has been given great impetus since Gen. Herzog's accession to the Premiership, owing to the alleged protective policy of his Government toward the blues.
The Daily Telegraph's correspondent supports the latter statement, believing that the troubled has any far reaching significance, declaring it chiefly due to enforcement of the new regulations preventing the illicit manufacture and sale of Kahr beer.
(Bloemfontein dispatches fast night; said the trouble originated in an attempt by police to seize a quantity of Kahr beer.)
Africans Boycott Prince of Wales
JOHANNESBURG, April 22.—The African Native Congress here decided yesterday, in view of the shootings at Bloemfontein the day previous, to boycott the forthcoming visit of the Prince of Wales. A proclamation was issued urging the natives to refrain from welcoming the decision would affect the population generally.
Four natives were killed when police fired a volley into attacking workers at Bloemfontein Monday night.
LAGOS, Africa, April 22.—The Prince of Wales called for Cape Town today to aboard the cruiser Repulse.
Former Dignity and Prestige
Appropos of the dignity and prestige of the former Kings and Chiefs of the principal coast towns, the story is told of the governor once sending a message to the Omanhin Kweku Atto of Cape Coast by his A.D. C., in the hurry of attending to His Excellency's command, the officer arrived at his sword, and was ushered to his presence, saluting, he proceeded to deliver his message. The King eyed him for a moment and asked, where is your sword. The officer, confused, saluted again, went out and donned his sword, and came back and carried out His Excellency's command. We have apparently retrograded in our perspective between his Majesty's officers and the Kings and Chiefs, and until the right conditions and the proper complex are restored the position of the Omanhin will continue to be a mere shadow.

LIBERTY. HALL, New York, Sunday Night, April 26.—A gather-
ing of about four thousand follewers of the Universal Negro Im
provement .\ssociation assembled in Liberty Hall tonight on the
occasion of the weekly mass meeting, Unusnal enthusiasm was mani-
tested by reason of an item of news gontained in a dispatch from,
“South Mriga published in the New York ‘Times newspaper, during
the past week, wherein it was shown that the movement to effect
cigmency fer Hon. Mareus Garvey is not only confined tothe hun-
dreds of thousands of his followers in the United States of America,
but that even in Mrica which is now one of the greatest strongholds
of the organization, the pegple are as deeply concerned about the
freedom of the man whom they hive accepted as their leader, in so
much*Mat it becomes a subject, of debate in-their legislative assem-
blies. The news clipping which was read irom the platform tonight
by: Hon, Williath Sherrill, was received with'an outburst of cheering.
and disclosed that a legislative group of Negroes in mecting there
assembled and passed a resolution empowering them tp make reps
resentations to. the President of the United States of Semesion ae
questing that clemency be eXtended tu the President-Ceneral of the
Universal Negro Improvement Association, Hon. Mareus..Garvey.
This new and added interest served to give greater impetus to the
hundreds of thousands ef followers and sympathizers of Hon. Marcus
Garvey in America, to leave ne stone unturned in their efforts to
fleet his release = . = eee ae *

LETS PUT IT OVER
WHOM DOES MARCUS GARVEY REPRESENT?
WORD has been passed from South Africa to all Africa that a rigid boycott of the Prince of Wales, heir to the British
throne, must be maintained on the occasion of his present empire-bracing tour. There have been bloody riots in Bloemfontein, and everywhere great unrest prevails. The natives of the South are rising up in their might and demanding of the British an end to the abuses to which they have been subjected for centuries. Now wide-awake, saturated with Garveyism, the African has ceased "grinning and bearing it," and is telling his oppressors, "This is a black man's country and must remain so." A black president of a national native congress in Johannesburg, South Africa, a few days ago told the tormentors that Africans will, through resolutions, plead with the United States Government for elemency for Marcus Garvey, whether the white man likes it or not.
This is good news and must serve to encourage men of African descent in the western world, who are as interested in a free and reelected Africa as Irish-Americans are interested in making Ireland free, or as the Jews are concerned about the building up of Palestine. A few weeks ago the New York Times, in an editorial headed Whom Does He Represent? delivered itself of a silly diatribe in Marcus Garvey. Hundreds of thousands of Negroes resident in this country had in their various communities staged mass meetings and sent telegrams to President Coolidge asking for clemency for the great leader. The unusual spectacle was seen of Negroes, great numbers of them, from the great and small centers of population in these United States, cooperating and bending every effort toward attaining the release of a Negro whom twelve white men had adduced guilty of crime. Marcus Garvey had been convicted of using
inged guilty of crime. Marcellus Garvey had been convicted of using the United States mails to defraud in connection with the conduct the business of the Black Star Lane, Inc. But Negroes, millions of men, who maintain he has done no wrong, and unshaken in their belief in his honesty of purpose and integrity, asked the chief executive of the nation to pardon him and restore him to the race.
And so the New York Times, one of the most influential newspapers in the world, grew fearful. Professing to be surprised, but secretly perturbed at this new manifestation, the New York Times got busy. It adopted the usual method. It sought to elfive a wedge between Negroes who saw Garvey im and those who do not. It told Negroes that Garvey was the worst possible type of Negro in the best of all possible worlds. It rehearsed the musty story of Garvey being buffoon and rogue (in the South they say "crazy nigger"), and pretending to doubt that the hundreds of telegrams sent to the President had really issued from as many hundreds of meetings, foolishly asked, "Who does he represent?"
Marcus Garvey, idol and inspiration of millions of Negroes the world over, the man who is the hero of Negro race thinking along lines of nationality, was behind prison time. There he must remain, say certain interests, who are seeking to maintain their stranglehold on Africa and to perpetuate their entanglement of the Negro. It was natural then that "hiring journalists, doing the bidding of their foreign masters," as the New York Evening Bulletin so aptly phrased it, should go into spasms of rage at the faintest prospect of Marcus Garvey free. Apparently still ignorant of the fact that white editors can not mould Negro public opinion any longer on any matter which concerns their destiny as a race, the New York Times wasted time and effort lampooning Garvey for the particular benefit of the Negro rage, while it cunningly tried to make the white politician believe that the hundreds of thousands of Negro voters who vote as Marcus Garvey dictates are mythical.
Today along Park Row the joke is on the New York Times. After proving to its own satisfaction a few weeks ago that Marcus Garvey represents nobody, on Wednesday last, April 22, it swallows its vomit and tells us that he represents a people. On page 4 of its issue of that date it printed a message cabled from its correspondent in Johannesburg, South Africa, stating that Africans were enraged at the persecution of Marcus Garvey, and in congress assembled had decided to boycott the pampered Prince of Wales and take steps to secure the release of the exponent of race freedom.
We have a suspicion that the sub-editor who let this news-item slip through to the composing room is now looking for another job. But we do know that there was a great stir on Park Row and an editor was sent posthaste to the press room, the machines were stopped, and the enlightening paragraph excised. This accounts for the appearance of the paragraph only in the first edition of the New York Times of Wednesday last. Here is a striking example of how the great white press uses its position and influence to keep the Negro and his fellow-citizens here uninformed of world happenings as they concern the Negro in his march to real emancipation and power.
The full story of what really happened at this great convention of African males will reach the headquarters of the Universal Negro Improvement Association in due course. But in the meantime we are wondering what was the text of the message as cabled from South Africa.
April 22, with its story of the native uprising against British tyranny, of the discussion by the natives of Marcus Garvey's imprisonment, their intention to plead with President Coolidge for his release, and of their determination to ignore the heir to the British throne. We refer them to the solid phalanx of Negroes in this country represented by over seven hundred divisions of the Universal Negro Improvement Association—a sane, progressive group of citizens who would cull out a holiday tomorrow if Marcus Garvey were released from Atlanta penitentiary. And we say, with the black gentleman who presided at the recent congress in South Africa, "The sun is shining, and nobody can stop it. Africa is a black man's country and will remain so." the despicable method of the New York Times and other powerful enemies of Negro freedom notwithstanding.
NATIONAL NEGRO TRADE WEEK
THE development of Negro trade and industry is one of the pressing things the race cannot evade anywhere, without being false to itself. The Universal Negro Improvement Association has from the beginning maintained that the life of the race depends largely upon the conservation of its social, civil and economic values. In order to conserve these it is first necessary to know what they are and to teach others who do not know what they are. It is a matter of education. And it should be their pride and boost that in every community that our members lead others in civic usefulness and in preserving their economic values. Every community of one hundred or more Negroes should be able to buy and sell among themselves everything they need. The merchant should be able to take the surplus produce of his patrons in trade and dispose of it to his own and their advantage in the markets where there is a demand for it. The white merchant does it. He does not wait for the Negro merchants to do it for him. Why should he? Why should we?
The National Negro Business League has set aside the week of May 4-9 as National Negro Trade Week. The purpose is to advertise the business enterprises of the race and to encourage the patrons of such enterprises to continue in the good way and to encourage others to get the habit of buying and selling among themselves. Dr. Robert R: Moton, the president of the league, starts off wrong by setting it down as a principle that "The National Negro Business League asks for the Negro, not pity, nor yet charity, but a man's chance, an American's chance." We are not going to get anything begging for it, we are not going to get anything in business by asking for it. White men do not get anything in that way. They go in and take their chance, buy and pay for what they need in their business. We have got to do so.
What are the facts? In all of the large centers of population, in all the large cities and towns, and in most of the small places, most of the large and small trade is conducted by white persons, mostly foreigners, who gradually grow rich while we remain poor, by selling what we want and often do not need, and by buying nothing of us, except our labor, and that at the lowest possible wage rate. We have got to change this condition. We have got to develop our trade conditions, we have got to buy and sell more and more among ourselves, or we shall never be much better off than we are right now in the United States, in the West Indies, in Africa, in the islands of the Seas.
National Negro Trade Week should be a success. The members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association can afford to help make it a success.
LACK OF SELE-APPRECIATION A DISTINCT RACIAL WEAKNESS
Were all surprised and gratified when Jans Christian Smuts, then premier of the Union of South Africa, solemnly declared that the "Native Africans no longer regard the whites as gods." It appears that the whites themselves destroyed the myth by showing that they are also human. Destroy the white myth god business and we shall all be very soon on the human basis and prepared to deal with each other on terms of equality.
The members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association are not affected in the least with the terrors of the white god myth. They have been taught and they all believe that one man is as good and has as many rights as another man when all things are equal and that when they are not equal they should be made to be made equal because the condition of inequality is unnatural.
It is not only in Africa and the West Indies but in the United States that a large part of the Negro people are so lacking in self-appreciation for themselves and for the race as always to defer to the white persons they may be in contact with and prefer their judgment always to that of members of their own race. It is a distinct weakness, and we have got to overcome it before we can look the white man in the eye everywhere and demand and contend for what is our own, and we are entitled to our share of some of all whatsoever that is necessary to sustain life and insure justice as between man and man.
The New York Age has rendered a distinct service by sticking the editorial pen point deep into the disposition among American Negroes to defer to the judgment of white persons in all matters affecting the race, and to display in so doing a lack of self-appreciation which is a distinct racial weakness. In singling out the Association for the Advancement of Colored People and the National League as chief offenders, the Age makes no mistake, and shows plainly that it does not. We republish the article on the editorial page of The Negro World today because it is sound race preachment, such as we need more of, and a deserved rebuke to editor DyBons and The Crisis, and Editor Johnson and Opportunity, whose organizations have received more free advertising from the Negro press than they appreciate or can ever be expected to pay for.
EDITORIAL OPINION OF THE NEGRO PRESS
Good sense is a thing all need, few have and none think they want.—Ohio Baptist News. Dealing with business troubles and with legal ones is a job which few men can successfully undertake.—Richmond Planet. Individual effort helped Roland Hayes to scale the heights of success, and the door of opportunity still opens freely to those who knock. Preaching discontent so bring about class conflict and social revolution will probably continue to be the favorite and profligible occupation of demagogs.—Bulletin Appeal.
There are hundreds of reliable books written on the Negro that present the accomplishments of Negroes. The colored magazines and newspapers also give much valuable information on the same subject. At the present time there is no valid reason for any Negro boy or girl not knowing the greatness of his or her racial history—Philadelphia Tribune.
There are those who spend the most of their time trying to keep some one they do not like from getting along in the world. They do not make much headway themselves because they labor not to go forward but to hold others back—Tampa Bulletin.
Hills of ignorance and mountains of insuperance, rivers and swamps of prejudice have been crossed. Every new handicap in, but the preliminary to new Triumph. Across the color line we are marching, not easy going, but steady and sure—Kansas City Call.
When we realize our inter-racial duty and that God has meant much in the creation of man, doubts and suspicion, prejudice and hatred will vanish. Whatever else may be said of our section and our nation, it must be agreed that we need a closer relation, a free disposition, a fair consideration one for the other. This spirit will not be developed in terms of race or section, it must be developed if at all, in terms of humanity and human consideration. — Birmingham Reporter.
It is our prerogative to subscribe for whatever newspapers and magazines we may, but it seems so ungrateful to deprecate the newspapers and magazines which constantly and courageously wield the cudgel for the race. — Louisville Leader.
A nationwide, "Smile Campaign" should be inaugurated to offset the hard time cry that has become chronic in all sections. We believe it will have a direct beneficial effect on business large and small—Ontheake New Era. The leaders of churches, lodges and all other organizations which have to do with the uplift and betterment of our race and for the advancement of their respective memberships, should set an example by their public and private department that would command the respect and honor, not alone of the members, but from the people generally. For it is an upended fact, that organizations are judged largely by the worth of their landmark—Portland Ad-
Occasionally as a race we meet some very intolerable and vexing problems. Ours is and has been a journey on the rough side of the mountain. We are plooding along in some kind of fashion with hardly any certainty as to our status in the face of the law or what we may depend upon as our protection when we are right and what punishment to expect when we are wrong. We must know; however, that when we are wrong we are sure to be published, and almost always to the full extent of the law. The unjust punishment is the one that we cannot forget.
The Negro is not receiving a fair deal at the hands of the law. He does not have the guarantee of protection in his rightful pursuits as other men. This is wrong, wrong in principle, wrong in sentiment and wrong in the administration of the law; it is wholly wrong. The law should protect all mankind; the law should sustain itself. This can be done only through a just administration of law.
Mr. Will Sharpe, of _Center, in Cherokee County, Alabama, for many years a prominent Negro citizen of that county, a well-to-do farmer, a law-abiding man of color, held in high esteem by members of both races, is today a pilgrim of sorrow. He can live at center no longer; he must seek other quarters. His family is also pilgrims. Mr. Sharpe is growing old now; he is past the age of fifty and had just about reached the point in life where he could settle down for comfortable living.
But what, is it all about? Some weeks ago some robed white men sought, to persuade him out, and he refused them, they broke his door down, entered his home and one of the members was killed. Mr. Sharpe gave himself up to the sheriff and was in jail for more than two weeks. The story of the killing was given by him, nobody denied it, no one appeared against him, he was exonerated. But his exoneration did not carry with it in Cherokee County protection. He begged to remain in jail for fear of those who waited to take his life. He was refused this privilege and was advised to die because of approaching danger.
As powerful as the powers may seem to be and as strong as sentiment is today against the black people of America, these conditions cannot last always. Right will not remain on the scaffold, nor wrong on the throne. The future is pregnant with hope and more peaceful citizenship. No honest person can sanction the plight of Will Sharpe. Sentiment will change one day, law enforcing officers will respect more their oath of office, and that cloth will extend not to one section, nor one race, but will cover humanity under the purview and in the territory of that officer. Will Sharpe should have had the protection of the sheriff's office in Cherokee County, not so much for the interest he had in the Negro who had been vindicated but that law and order in Cherokee County would have been sustained.
These abuses are recorded somewhere and one day a final and complete answer will be made. Will Sharpe helped to pay the salaries of officers in Cherokee County through his taxes and aided in the education of all the people of that county. He paid for his protection both in money and in a life of character; he was extended some aid, but authorities did not go to the extent of their ability, and it may be that the mob who sought his life or to administer punishment otherwise has succeeded at least in carrying out the major purpose of their plan, and that was to rob him of his property, take from him an earning brought to him by many years of toll and sacrifice. A white gentleman, writing under "News and Interviews" in The News of Friday's issue, made the following statement:
"It is a disgrace to the State of Alabama that the Negro man who killed a member of a band of white men who forced their way into his home near Center feels that he can no longer live in safety on his own farm," said R. N. Jones. "The Negro has done absolutely nothing that is not sanctioned by the laws of both God and man. He did only what any other man of like courage would have done. With his home broken into by lawless men bent upon doing him bodily harm, he fired in self-defense. That even the family of the dead man knows the Negro is justified is proven by the fact that they refuse to appear to press the charges against him. He stands exonerated by law of any whatsoever. You refused permission to remain in jail to make certain he is not murdered, he and his family desert their home in fear of assassination. It is a and commentary upon conditions in Alabama generally, and in that neighborhood particularly, when a law-abiding citizen is thus forced to flee for no better reason than he protected himself and his family from harm. No wonder the outside world looks askance at uson occasion."
No matter how rash and vicious things may seem, we still have hope: we must continue in faith, in all of our troubles we have a friend in the opposite race, someone who is at least willing to speak and will speak this condemnation upon the wrongs perpetrated against us. The statement by Mr. R. N. Jones is typical of the feeling of many thousands of white men throughout this section but who are barred of action because of sentiment.
This is an ugly and ungodly picture; it is a blight upon the character; and the citizenry of the great state of Alabama, and in this disposition lay much of the troubles of our society. This man should never have left his home. He should have remained there.
Life is sweet to all of us; we are not here for always and we could die for no greater cause than the protection of our families, the virtue and comfort of our homes and the laws of our
Lack of Self-Appreciation A Distinct Racial Weakness
One of the weaknesses that seems to characterize certain of our racial organizations is a lack of proper self-appreciation. As a rule the less reason that exists for satisfaction with results accomplished, the greater amount of self-satisfaction exhibited by the individual, but in the case of certain welfare organizations that have made a creditable record largely because of racial confidence and racial support; there appears to exist a lack of belief in the capacity of the race to do things for itself.
A notable instance of this defect was exhibited in the choosing of judges to make the awards in the literary contest conducted by Opportunity, the excellent magazine published by the National Urban League. Out of the nine judges named for short stories, we find eight white writers and magazine editors and but, one colored writer. For poetry three of the judges are white and, but one colored. In the matter of plays, the proportion is the same, the colored judge being described as formerly instructor in Dramatics, Howard University. For essays the judges are apparently all four white. To determine the merit of the personal experience sketches, the secretary of the Urban League is the only colored representative, with two white associates.
The aim of this contest, as stated by the organizers, is "to stimulate and foster creative literary effort among women." Yet the organization furthering the enterprise does not appear to have enough confidence in the literary judgment of the race to have selected at least half of the judges from the race itself. This argues a lack of appreciation of what has already been accomplished by the race in a literary way. This tendency to ignore the literary pioneers of race is a species of self-depreciation, which too frequently crops out in our most ambitious efforts.
In selecting judges for a contest of this kind it would have been both gracious and just to have gought the co-operation of the editors of the colored press, many, of whom have proved their competency by the quality and quantity of the papers they have turned out. For instance, there is T. Thomas Fortune, a writer and journalist of nearly half a century, who was editor of half a dozen colored papers, editorial writer on the "Evening Sun" under Amos J. Cummings, special correspondent of the "New York "Sun" under Charles A. Dana, and the author of several volumes of verse and prose. Then there are editors of the present day of such ability as Robert S. Abbott, of the Chicago "Defender"; Carl Murphy, of the Baltimore "Afro-American"; Washington Rhodes, of the Philadelphia "Tribune"; Robert L. Vann, of the Pittsburgh "Courrier"; J. E. Mitchell, of the St. Louis "Argus"; Joseph Bibb, of the Chicago "Whip," and many others. If authority of books was required, Charles W. Chestnut, Alice Dunbar Nelson, Jessie Fausett and Walter White would be qualified.
In the line of poetry recourse might have been had to the judgment of some of those who have qualified as competentversifiers, such as William Moore, of Chicago, a poet, critic and reviewer of many years standing, or W. Stanley Braithwaite, an acknowledged authority and anthologist. In the drama no more competent judges could be secured than Joseph A. Shipp, Alex Rogers, and Miller and Lyles. The art of the essayist is perhaps a more technical proposition, but the men who have proved their ability and judgment in building up the colored press from its modest beginnings to its present respectable position as a vehicle of social news and opinion, might be trusted in that department of modern literature. When it comes to personal experience sketches, no better judges of real values could be secured than among the editors and writers of our press.
The disposition too frequently manifested by the executives of such national welfare organizations as the Urban League and the Advancement Association to ignore and discount the achievements of the colored press, has become too patent to be allowed to pass without rebuke. If allowed to go further, it would retard the growth of these organizations. This tendency to depreciate the power and ability of colored editors and writers is hurtful to the race in every way. It is well and good to seek the co-operation of friendly disposed white writers and editors, but, the literary workers of the race should not be despised.
The factor of self-depreciation which seemingly actuates this ignoring of the race press and its writers by the executives of those associations. If probed to its origin, would probably be analyzed as a natural result of the inferiority complex, inherent in its authors. A more liberal evaluation of the efforts of the race, both in a journalistic and a literary vein, would probably banish this sub-conscious weakness and bring about a better and more wholesome co-operation among all the forces that are working for racial uplift.
The support of the race at large is essential to the efficiency of our racial welfare movements. This support can be most effectively secured through the agency of the press and the pulpit. The leaders of our national organizations should be more eager to the value of much co-operation.

WASHINGTON. April 22.—In the first eight months' operation of the new immigration Act 158,602 allies, representing many races, came to American shores. This shows an average of a little under 24,000 a month.
New York State got 43,458 of the immigrants: California, 14,510; Illinois, 12,560; Massachusetts, 20,460; Michigan 18,112; New Jersey, 7,779; Ohio, 5,222; Pennsylvania, 10,631; Texas, 10,425; and Washington State, 7,103.
An immigration bureau survey shows that Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, New Jersey, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Utah and Wisconsin had more Germans than any other race settling within their borders.
California, Florida, Idaho, Massachusetts, Michigan, North Carolina, Oregon, South Carolina, Tennessee, Washington and West Virginia had a preponderance of English among their newcomers. Alaska, Minnesota, Montana, North Dakota and Wyoming found a majority of their immigrants Scandinavians. In Arizona, Louisiana, Nevada, New Mexico and Texas the greatest infux was of Mexicans. Connecticut, Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont attracted French in greatest numbers; and Delaware and New York found that the Irish sought their borders in greatest throngs. Despaio the Japanese exclusion provision, 493 Japanese were admitted as students and professional men.
No immigrants were recorded as going to the Philippine Islands. Nevada showed the least number of alien newcomers—66; the Virgin Islands received the longest number outside continental United States, with only six Alaska had but 52 immigrants.

Light as a Healer
You may know the story of the princess whose parents when she was born were warned not to let the light of the sun touch her lest she be carried off by the local goblin, whose name I forget. You know of the long and weary years she put in as a child and a maden, living in the rooms of the palace into which the sun never penetrated; how many suitors went away fearful to accept the responsibility of keeping the princess safe from the light which warms the world; how at last a favored prince won the lady and took her upon a dark night to the new home in which her rooms faced the north. After many happy, though somewhat monotonous months, the prince invited his princess to take a trip through the forest upon a hunting trip, and since it was a gloomy day, with lowering clouds which looked for too heavy to lift, they went upon this journey. Suddenly there appeared a break in the clouds and the golden sunlight streamed upon the beautiful face of the princess and straightaway she disappeared.
So lovely a lady could not be interpreted to symbolize the enemies of mankind as the germs of disease; yet many such foes are destroyed by sunlight. Furthermore, sunlight is a curative agent. Far from shunning the warm rays of this beneficent friend we should endeavor to be in it as much as possible. How much benefit sunlight confers upon the adult beyond the obvious stimulation of mind and spirit none knows. We do know that direct, sunlight (not through glass) helps to cure bables of rickets, and aids in recovery from other diseases, such as bone disease, some forms of tuberculosis, etc. Now comes the question, "Why use 'sunlamps' instead of straight sunlight?"
Treatment of sick children, or adults either, for that matter, should go on without interruption if we are to give them the health which allows normal growth, freedom from pain and their rightful places on the play-world, with out duty. No one wishes to prey on a little child's illness a second longer than necessary.
Sunlight direct from the sun itself is not always dependable, especially in this city. We sometimes have days of cloudy weather or of rain, during which time discusso babies could not be treated. Science steps in here and duplicates the rays of the sun, and confines them within a marvellous environment and makes it possible for skilled physicians, and nurses to administer them healing rays often and whenever and for as long as necessary, regularly and without fail.

From the Gold Coast Times
Those who can read the political parameter might have observed indications pointing to a renewal of the struggle that has been proceeding intermittently between the government and the people during the last six years. The administration of Sir Frederick G. Guggisberg is filled with the satisfaction that it has carried out all its important schemes but one. It has carried through its Toskari scheme and the cross-country railway in the Central Province and other ambitious schemes involving the people in enormous liabilities, which they have to meet in the best part of the next century. And all these expensive schemes have been carried out not with public sanction but by force of authority. It is altogether a new phase of British colonial administration and it has left a bitter impression on the minds of the people which will take some time to erase. The motive behind the policy of the present administration is not chiefly that certain public works are essential to the country but that by carrying out they stimulate British industries and help in relieving the unemployment difficulty in Great Britain. It is a new and ingenious method of exploiting the African dependencies for the benefit of the white members of the British Empire and is diametrically opposed to the spirit of colonial administration in the Victorian era. Our experiences in the last six years, after we had helped to win the war, are not such as to increase in us the faith in the goodness of the British Government.
The one scheme that the present Administration has so far failed to carry through is the change of the system of Native Administration in a manner as will bring it effectively under the thumb of the Government, as will destroy the last vestige of the independence secured to them under the treaties entered into between the people of this country and the Government of her late Majesty Queen Victoria, and as will gender it easier to pursue the policy of exploitation now carried under various disguises. The Government introduced in 1922 the Native Jurisdiction Bill but failed to pass it owing to the strong opposition offered to the measure. And having been balked in that enterprise it has altered its tactics and is now seeking to use the deft jaw of the Omanhin Ofori Atta to snatch the chestnut from the fire. Now the Government is conscious that measures touching native jurisdiction and the land are difficult to get through even in the existing top-sided Legislature, and it knows that its task will be harder still in a Legislative Council constituted on the elective principle, and so not to let the grass grow under its feet, it is using the Omanhin Ofori Atta, and a few others working with him, in order to get a new Native Jurisdiction Bill rushed through the existing Council before it is reformed. The tone of the circular letter over the signatures of the Omanhin who comes from Akhm Abuakwa and the other Legislative Council Chiefs, affords sufficient evidence of the anxiety of the Government in the matter. We are told in the circular letter that the Native Jurisdiction Bill is to be introduced at an early date, and we are referred to "the urgency of the matter." There is more reason, then, for those Paramount Chiefs, who are not prepared to put the country in the market, to act with the people in keeping the powder dry so that when the Government and its allies deliver their fulfilment we can be in a position to join battle with them.
The coming struggle between the Government and the people will center on the issues whether the Government
C. E. COX
ought to be allowed to increase its powers in this country beyond the limits set by the existing treaties or whether it should be permitted to visit in the Chiefs powers which the Oman will be unwilling to concede. In any country where the powers of the head of the State are greater than the sovereign powers of the people the system of government cannot but be despotic. In the system of indirect rule in Nigeria, so dear to the hearts of the local autocrats, the powers of the Emiris are exceedingly great and far above those of the States. The result is a system of despotic rule, which necessitates the British government standing constantly behind the Emiris to keep them from being pulled down from their seats. The Emiris are appointed by the British government and they hold their positions at the pleasure of the government. But in the Gold Coast the chiefs are appointed by their own people and they hold their positions at the pleasure of the people. Indirect rule in vogue in Nigeria and democratic rule on the Gold Coast are two distinct systems. We are not going to exchange our system of democratic control for the arbitrary system in Nigeria. We have lived under our system for over a thousand years and will not exchange it for any other, especially in these days when democracy is in the ascendency all over the world.
Any attempt to weaken the hold of the Oman on the Pargmount Chiefs will be resisted. We have taken our decision on these issues, and let no one make a mistake about it. We are going to preserve the Constitution we have inherited from the age, for we realize that closely wound up with this Constitution is the security of our lands.
A Treacherous Chief Endangers the Rights of the Natives
(From the Gold Coast Times)
We wrote last week on certain political movements in the Eastern Provinces in which the Omanian Ofti Atta is the leading character. These movements appear to be under official influence, and the object behind them is to weaken the hold of the Oman on the Paramount Chiefs. The Government has all along been seeking to wean the Paramount Chiefs from the people to join them into Political Officers, and to place them in a position in which they will feel that they are responsible to the Government but not to the people who elected them to their stools and that their power of the stools is dependent on the pleasure of the government rather than on the good will of the Oman. And when the government has attained to the position in which it has the power to enrol and destroi our natural rulers, as is the practice in Northern Nigeria, we can easily control our lands which is the egal of all government activities in this country.
Now, we desire to show why we regard the Omaninin Ofori Atta of Akim Abuakwa as the understory of the government, trained to play his part in the work of subverting any native institution founded by the people to preserve their national entity or to protect their rights. We are all aware that since the administration of Sir Hugh Clifford it has been the policy of the government to deal with the Chiefs individually on matters affecting the destiny of the whole country instead of dealing with them as an Aborigines Society, that is, as a body. That is the government attitude which is reflected in the attitude of the Omaninin Ofori Atta towards the Aborigines Society, and it leads us to conclude that he was specially fetched from his secluded village of Akim.

Abuakwa to the legislative council as the likely man to assist the government in breaking up the Aborigines Society, the only organization in the country that can bring the Ruters of the country to a common meeting ground for the discussion and solution of political and social problems.
We may be told that the Omannin Otfari Atta is a member of the Aecra section of the Society. So it is. But it seems that he joined the institution with the object of crippling it, for stage he became a member, the Aecra section of the Aborigine Society has lost much of its force and energy. If the Omannin Otfari Atta is a loyal member of the Aborigine Society, why has he ignored its authority by taking upon himself, to circulate the Paramount Chiefs on the rattle of a proposed Native Jurisdiction Bill instead of sending his proposals to the headquarters of the society with a request that a conference of the natural rules and representative men be called to consider such proposals? That would have been the procedure which would have been adopted by a perfectly honest, perfectly straightforward statesman of the Akan-Farti group who is not influenced by selfish motives.
The Omanian Oftor Atta ought to be reminded of a historical fact which he is apt to forget. The fortunate Faufi, Ahanta and Appleglenian Chiefs, who as the Aborigines Society, spent considerable time, and wealth in fighting the Lands Bill and the Forest Bill in order to secure the land for posterity are now earning very little from the soil. On the other hand, the Omanian Oftor Atta, whose ancestors slept while the others fought and who never contributed a penny to the war chest nor spent an hour of anxious thought on the situation, is walking in wealth derivable from the products of the soil (coosae and diamonds), which others fought to retain for him. He ought to be often reminded of this fact, and if he were conscientious he would be the last to seek to undermine the influence of the institution which has saved his diamond and cocoa fields for him.
His opposition to the Congress movement and his destructive work in the Legislative Council at the time all serve to strengthen the popular view that he is an accomplice of the government and a sworn foe to popular national movements. And when we recall to mind that he was one of the Legislative Council Chiefs who encouraged the government to introduce the Native Jurisdiction Bill of 1922, which they had to oppose when they felt the state of public feeling, we have all the evidence to show that the Omanhin Ofori *Atta* who comes from Akun Abuakwa is an understudy of the government, and a factor in the official game of divide and rule.
Having said this, it is our duty on behalf of the people, to question the right of a Paramount Chief to introduce a measure to amend the Native Constitution. The Paramount Chief is elected to his position by the Oman who vests in him certain well-defined powers. The question then arises, can the Paramount Chief, who derives his powers from the Oman, add to those powers without the sanction of the people? Of course, it cannot be so for an agent can only exercise such powers, as he derives from the supreme authority, but he cannot add to them. The point is as clear as it can be, and that being the case the people can repudiate any measure introduced into the Legislative Council by a Paramount Chief to add to his own powers and privileges or to detract from the authority of the Oman.

The Paramount-Chief, the Queen's son, is a handsome and able young man who speaks English. The Queen receives only in her hut, where after a few greetings exchanged through the interpreter, she slowly extends her hands to greet the visitor and receive his present. And, while it is strictly prohibited to give alcohol to the natives, she treasures most of all a bottle of real Dutch-gin.
The last of June the Prince will reach the Transvaal to visit Pretoria and Johannesburg. In Joburg, as the latter city is called, the Prince will witness the dance of the native miners. Thousands upon thousands of natives from all parts of Africa are employed by the various mines here. Their costumes and customs contrast strangely with other surroundings — eight and ten story buildings and mine machinery. No one has seen their dune-will fortune it or their agility, their colors, the shouting and din of the orchestra. The orchestral instruments are fashioned from empty paraffin tins, and with several hundred such improvised xylophones in a row the din is terrific.
With a trip to Zeerust and the town famous for the start of the Jamison Raid, Mafeking, the defense of which was also one of the great events of the Boer War, the Prince will be in Beechamland, where he will rest in camp during the last few days of June, as it has a very fine Winter climate. It is an ideal game country and one of the few in which the native chiefs are still accorded 'certain hunting rights provided they agree to maintain a close season. The elephant, rhinoceros, giraffe and cland are protected under a penalty of 150 pounds, but of course the Prince will be permitted to hunt them as well as the hippopotamus, buffalo, zebra, quagga and the many antelope to be found in this hunter's paradise.
Then eighteen days will be spent in Rhodesia. "The Prince will visit Bahawayo, other cities and towns, and the justly famed Victoria Falls. On July 18, through heat and dust, he will pages via Malabaye, Gabonese, Vryburg and Tatamu to Kimberley, where diamonds will be the special object of inspection. Here was found the famous "Star of South Africa" now in the interior of the country of Dudley, which weighs 23,200 carats was originally bought by a Dutchman from a Hottentot for less than $2,000 immediately sold by him for $4,000 and is now valued at four times that sum. In 1917 a stone weighing 44 carats was found. This practically will end the Prince's tour and he will return to Cape Town on July 22, where he will sit away from the port which is some two hundred years ago was the last Prithi wee'd driven into the mysteries of Dork Continent.

young man. A native boy one day was sitting on a mahogany log, his head bent downward and his eye peering on the opened pages of a little Bible given to him at Sunday-school by a Christian missionary. A certain Christian gentleman was on his way to his office, to teach which it was necessary for him to walk past this "heathen native boy" sitting on a log concentrating his thoughts on the helpful words of God in the Holy Bible, having done this without attracting the attention of the boy. The master stopped a few feet away, and shouted: "You black ----, come here to me!" The poog boy, seated almost half to death, complied with the order. "What the h-- do you mean by sitting there and not taking" your hat off when you see white man coming? demanded the lord, "No see boss, no see come, look, book, no see boss come, pleaded the heathen." This "Christian parasite" I was told, there and then, took hold of this poor boy by his arm, turned him around and administered a "gesture," a "British gesture" with the foot, adding, "Next time look out for white man when you see white man come, no read, stand up and take your hut off."
From the action of this "Christ-like gentleman" towards this unrepresented and defenseless "African heathen," what the touchings of Christ by "our good Christian teachers" means to us as a race should be as clear as midday to black men, women and children everywhere. Yes! There are "plagues" in Lagos, West Africa, Cape Town, South Africa, Sudan, Egypt, East Africa and in Morocco, North Africa. His Highness may well evade the "epidemic," but the time when others may yet be victims is not too far distant. God moves in a mysterious way. His wonders to perform.

has been killed in the applause, I am sore at heart and I lauges; and I feel as though I had spoken altogether in vain. And I say to myself, 'What is the good of all your labors, if your hearers do not want to reap the fruit out of all you say?'
In taking up his outline of the history of preaching, the Dean said: 'After 2000 years of inefficiency we are bidden to discuss the uses of the sewn. We cannot find in the new Testament any detailed guidance for the problems of modern civilization. We can only find general principles which we have to apply as best we can. "Why should we talk to each other at all when we can read? It is much pleasanter to sit in an arm chair with our feet on the fender, fortified by such creature comforts as our tastes and the laws of our country allow.'
Dear huge treated the New Testament from the standpoint that it was designed more for the individual than for the masses. He pointed out passages to show the love of liberty, equality and fraternity and, giving a modern illustration, declared that the English of ubyah had the liberty, the French equality and America the greatest of the three fraternity. He continued:
"The prestige of the spoken word has vanished since Plato, and the invention of printing has turned the world into nations of readers. In this country lectures are heard with a great deal more patience than they are in nine.
"The early preacher seldom appears extemporaneously, and in the twelfth century he sat while the audience stood around him. My purpose in these lectures is to discuss the subject matter of Christian preaching and indicate the influence of the Church on social issues. Has Christianity any measure for Christian civilization? Let us try to demonstrate the question by historical treatment of the Gospel. The history of the Christian era has not been a record of proved upward movement, but in a timeline the present we have only the post with which we are bound. This history of Christianity is a part of the spiritual growth of civilization. We are bound as Christians to a gospel as the destiny which the Gospel teaches.
"The Bishop Emperor prepared the way for the second of Christianity by causing the cultivation of international unity. It was this cultivation that created the civilization that created the church and died in a great battle. This tradition still lives."
"Social realism was under St. Paul were on the whole conservative. He was not a social reformer. The Gospel of St. Paul" He taught it began with the individual and worked forward What then was the social teaching of St. Paul? It conducted classes and even seminars, and made them all one shot.
"The many points of the teaching that feel from the laws of Cicero show that the good was good news and good was evil and that it was committed with great passion and new life. Socialism, and nationalism dispensed before His scheme Christ and His disciples stood out of political and social arbitration. The early Christianity accepted the existing political and social conditions. On the other hand, it was easy to see how this difference could be turned into hostility. We can find no economic principles in the Gospel.
"The social principles of St. Paul were communistic experiments, and there is a slight tendency in three-city to call the community system of resources meal."
Police records in the City of New York show an increase in murders in the last seven years.

GERMANY RETURNS TO THE KAISER AND IMPERIALISM
Gen. von Hindenburg Elected Over Dr. Marx President by 900,000—Women Vote for War Lord—Trouble Ahead for Europe
BERLIN, April 27 (Monday) — Field
Marshal Paul von Hindenburg has
been elected President of Germany by
a plurality of 300,000 over the republican,
Wilhelm Marx.
Complete returns at 2 o'clock this
morning showed the seventy-eight-
year-old soldier was undisputed victor
over Marx, the statesman. Reaction
had triumphed.
Blow to Republicans
The election is the worst defeat suffered
by republicanism in German history.
The approximate final vote follows:
Von Hindenburg... 14,540,000
Marx... 13,710,000
Thaulmann ..... 1,790,000
Fully as many women voted as men
for the most part the women chose
von Hindenburg. The vote was heavy
—85 per cent of the eligible citizens,
because the hypnotic power of the war
worshied historic name drew a vast block
of the usual stay-at-home vote to the
polls. Millions cast ballots for the
last time to step into a Massachusetts
Presidential chair.
Marx Only Held Own
Von Hindenburg attracted 4,000,000
votes more than Dr. Karl James, Nationalist candidate in the preliminary
election a month ago. Marx merely
maintained the Republic in strength.
Ernest Thaulmann for the Congress
gained slightly.
Mary's main hallmark was the Catholic Bible Island, while Catherine Baye decorated Marx for the most beautiful Hoboken. Former President Harry Rippreits posed in a scene from the Holocaust service, where he framed in Hoboken, Carver, and Hoboken bays his own native city. Hoboken, while he carried the torch, long-bodied of Lening and Friesenstein was strongly repudiated. Marx receiving 643,750 votes as just the second War Worshippers Vote.
The 1940s who put over in Hoboken constitute the most diverse group by the republics in the campaigns of 400,000 war shippers who helped aid troops in war battles, gave stoppages. Against the idea of war shippers Marx once told people were invisible.
Election. The arrest of the personal cities of the Berlin, Berlin, divided with occupation and with a limited combination of yesterday's violence in Berlin, but produced the casualties with two fatally injured. Reports from the rest of Germany promised to swell this list to a formidable period of wounded Thirty Shot in Clash. The main battle was fought in front of Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial church in Berlin, Nationalists and Republicans exchanged bullets. Thirty were taken to hospitals. Election police precautions did not prevent either faction from rating its opponents' headquarters, with consequent smashing of heads.

LIVE NEWS OF THE WEEK
The election of Field Marshall von Hindenburg as President of Germany was received in Washington with varied emotions, but the general view was that the election of the German Commander-in-Chief did not necessarily represent a reactionary movement, and might not retard Germany's economic recovery or carry the republic toward militarism.
Scotland Yard, London, is complaining that crimes of the worst class, thrown out of the United States, have entered England in large numbers and are a troublesome complication to the crime question in Britain. When they are caught they are deported if American citizenship is proved. New legislation affecting aliens may be the result of the situation.
To stimulate German ship building, the German Government will make available credits equal to 50 per cent of the price afforded upon ship owners and builders. This step is taken because the ship construction companies have no ready cash to advance to their workers, and the ship owners are likewise suffering from a scarcity of capital.
School teachers in the State of Benton River, in northern Argentina, who have had their hair bulbhed have been nervous for the last three months of the annual vacation for fear that their books would not grow long enough to pass the inspection of the educational authorities, who have decreed that there shall be no more short haired school teachers.

A new procedure will provide for examination, medical and otherwise, of prospective immigrants at American consulate abroad and at ports of emigration as well as on shipboard on route to this country, and they would thus be tentatively rated as eligible for admission or to be sent back immedately. This procedure will clear up the connection at Ellis Island and other points of entry. This plan is under consideration at Washington.

In Memoriam
In loving memory of our daughter and sister, Gladys May who deserved this life one year ago today, April 24, 1924.
The middle of stars are gleaming
on a hoof and silent grave;
but she could not see.
But she I could not save;
She has found sweet rest at last,
Gone from this earth of sorrow
and pain.
My daughter Gladys, how I miss you,
Since from this earth you passed
When God tells us our work is through.
Sadly missed by father, mother and brothers.

were other factors, however, which militated against European getting the chance he should, and a definite line should be drawn. Legislation should be introduced so that this could be clearly held down. He goes on in conclusion and says not only the native, but the Cape colored man and the Asiatic has been affected by these regulations. The color for him led to great dissatisfaction among the natives. He held that the native must be held within a certain limit and given an opportunity of developing within that limit, but they must not be repressed; at the same time the interests of the Europeans must not be lost sight of either. In other words Europeans are at the basis of the effort to put through this color bar. It is purely a question, as General Simus said, and I will call attention later to most of the things he said. It is purely a question of self-preservation. The white man realizes his race is growing. The European realizes that the confines of Europe are getting too small for the surplus population and they feel that self-preservation justifies their every effort in Africa. It matters not where it hurts or harms. And while a member of the assembly by the name of Alexander was talking, saying he did not think it was fair, a member called from the House and said: "This is a white man's country." (Laughter.)
Where Is the Negro's Country?
Now I wonder where our country is.
We hear over here this is a white man's country, and in South Africa we hear a member on the floor of the Assembly crying, "This is a white man's country." Biff Mr. Alexander answers by saying, "I wonder what the Hon. member will do with the vast majority of non-white men in this country."
Now mind you, General Smuts made what the papers say is one of the most statemanlike speeches made in South Africa. General Smuts, however, was paying more attention to the gallery than anywhere else. In his stand against the passing of such a bill he said he did not think it was wise for the South African Government to pass such a law at this time. But General Smuts being more stateman than Beyers realized this, that world sentiment today among the black peoples of the world or the darker races of the world would immediately become hostile to such attitude which would work detriment to the South African state. Hence he makes a statemanlike speeck and says in so many words, "I am in favor of what you say. Limit Negroes to certain spheres of activity, but I am not in favor of doing it the way the bill suggests." Perhaps General Smuts is a little more acquainted with the way whites limit Negroes in other parts of the world. You see in America Negroes are being limited to certain spheres of industrial activity. There are certain jobs you
don't apply for. While there is on the statute book no law which says Negroes must not fill certain positions; there is a common understanding that you must move in a certain prescribed circle. Hence General Simuus, in making his speech, being a little more fursighted statesman, says, he does not agree with the move as justified by the Hon. Mr. Reyes because he feels the same thing can be done by different methods.
Smuta. Wants "Security"
Among the many things he says in this: "Our policy is to give the natives areas where they can develop themselves. We do not wish to have them mixed up with the whites. We will give them full scope in their own areas." But, in attacking Mr. Reyeshee says, "You here by the law of the land, tell them that this country, this country of theirs just as much as ours, has no place for them to move in freely." Listen to me now. General Smuts is speaking: "I am all for the white man, but there is something in my breast that cannot stand this. I feel that this is not honest dealing. I feel that we are not even insuring our own position. We are securing our position by making such a provision as this. We read today a great deal about the question of security. What is the fear at the heart of Enrique? One nation against the other. And we have thousands and tens of thousands of people in South Africa activated by similar feelings of fear. What we want is security."
Do you know what Smuts means? He means this. He like all those who control Africa, cares nothing, about prescribing the Negro, but he realizes this that if we here in South Africa bar the Negro from certain positions on the grounds of color and put that on our statute books, we are simply bringing down upon our heads the wrath of the millions of Negroes who live roundabout.
"Here, he proceeds, 'the very thing we were asked to avoid and had solutiously avoided in all these years, in the very thing which the minister does. He walks into the very throchle which will prove insoluble for him. I am very sorry this has been done. By doing this we are gathering on our heads the hatred of Asia from one side to the other. Every Asiatic people is branded her in this Bill. If it becomes the law of the land, take it from me we shall feel the weight of that in years to come. In its further implications this bill will be taken as an outrage not only by black Africa, but in yellow Asia. I see opposite me in a party which has stood for an independent South Africa, and so far as I can make put they still stand for South Africa to go her own way among the nations of the world. How is that secured with this policy which we are embarking on here today, when a hand-

fuit of whites on this continent are practically going to declare war on black Africa," and we are flouting Asia from one end to the other." He says, "Let us separate the Aslatic from this question. I think it is a great mistake to mix up the two."
Africa and Asiatic
Why is it a great mistake to mix in Asia? Why is it not equally, a great mistake to mix in Africa? It is simply, because in Asia there is represented that strong sound and efficient little government, Japan. They know that when they begin to mix in Japan they are simply following a line that will bring down hell upon their heads. Hence it simply points out to the natives in Africa that after all the white race that is now crushing them will only respect their rights when they get that thing that Marcus Garvey has been talking about from the incipiency of this organization-power.
But, after reading this, I came into contact with another, but of news which fully demonstrates to me that the African is wide awake to his own interest and welfare. I read now from the Gold Coast Times to show you how the African feels to touching the white man and his aggressive spirit in the homeland. The African says in an editorial: 'There were times when the doctrine as to Great Britain's 'mission' in the tropical dependencies, and the 'missionsaries of Empire' was taken all too literally. In the old days our people perceived things dimly as through a class, but now they can see things clearly and do not need instruction to enable them to estimate the value of Britain's 'mission' in the tropical dependencies or the efficiency or the integrity of the 'missionsaries'. In the early days of British administration on the Coast, when Britain had to devote subsidies for the work of government in return for an insufficient trade, the position may have justified the view that Britain was in West Africa on a 'mission'. But now that the people of British West Africa pay for every penny of the cost of admirations and over and above that, and in return for the 'protection' afforded by the British navy, the dependencies have developed enormous trade more profitable to Britishers than to Africans, the doctrine as to the 'mission' of Britain is an exploded myth.' To go further, this news came out in the morning edition of the New York Times, April 22. The first edition of the Times contained the news in toto, but the second edition of the Times deleted the last paragraph. When Mr. Thomas, one of the editors of the Negro World, brought the paper in and showed me the article I immediately sent someone to buy the Times. They brought the second edition and the second edition did not contain the same news. This is what came out in the first edition:
Durban Natives Cancel Welcome
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa. April 21.-Bitter references to the fatal rioting at Bloomfontein were made at a native congress today. The select committee delegated to draft an address of loyalty to the Prince of Wales
decided, in the light of the Bloomfontain "maasacre," to discard thir arrangements in that connection and unanimously recommended that the congress, "at a protest against the wanton killing of innocent people by Europeans, address a mandate to all African peoples to refrain from making any demonstration or presenting any address."
The recommendation was adopted.
The congress discussed, but eventually shelved, a motion to plead with the United States Government to show clemency to Marcus Garvey, exponent of "race freedom," who is serving a term of five years' imprisonment.
During the discussion the president of the congress held:
"The time will come when in convention we shall pass such resolutions, whether the white man likes it or not. The sun is shining and nobody can stop it. Do not be worried by statements that this is a white man's country. That it will never be. This is a black man's country and will remain so." (Applause.)
How Africa Will, Be Redeemed
How Africa Will Be Redeemed
I want you to pay particular attention to what the President of the South African Congress had the courage to say in South Africa. Some folks are asking the question, "How is Marcus Garvey going to redeem Africa?" Some say they do not know how it is going to be done; it is an impossible task. The Universal Negro Improvement Association knows well what it is doing. The Universal Negro Improvement Association is simply carrying to the native African the propaganda of Africa for the Africans. They are simply disseminating among the tribes the teachings of Garveyism. And let me tell you when the native African becomes as truly awake to the mighty forces that lie insept in him as you people in Liberty. Hall the redemption of Africa will be a short way off. The redemption of Africa is not worrying the Universal Negro Improvement Association. The thing that is worrying the Universal Negro Improvement Association more than anything else is how are we going to get the propaganda of Garveyism spread throughout Africa. How to get Negroes organized in America, the West Indies and Africa. How to get Negroes loving Negroes, cooperating with Negroes, being trustful of Negroes, how to get Negroes lining up behind Negroes and working along the same lines. How we are going to get Negroes to lay aside petty jealousies and ambitions for the great objective.
The day we get black men loving black men, believing in black men, willing to follow black men, the day we get four hundred million Negroes raising the right foot and putting down the left at the same time, voting you and nay on the same questions, we can redeem any spot on God's green earth. (Loud, and Prolonged Applause.)
DR. J. J. PETERS SPEAKS
Hon. Dr. J. J. Peters, president of the Chicago Division, was the first speaker. He brought greetings from the members of the Chicago Division, as well as other divisions of the Universal Negro Improvement Association in the West. The spirit of the members, the speaker said, ran high, and particularly in the New Orleans Division, where, he said, there were 2,500 active members, who were rallying to the organization with greater zeal than ever. Hg had the opportunity recently of speaking to the members of the New Orleans Division, and was greatly impressed with their loyalty and devotion to the President General. Hon. Marcus Garvey. They believe, as they say, that God has sent Marcus Garvey to redeem the Negro race, and whether Marcus Garvey lives or dies, his spirit will move on in their breasts.
Continuing, Dr. Peters said this was the testing period of the organization and it was the duty of every man and woman who is connected with it to bend their effort toward the carrying of the organization in the face of all opposition. 'If there ever was a time when he felt ready to go through with the work when Marcus Garvey started on his way to jail, because he realized that this was the time when we must bind our forces together and bind our energies together to make the Universal Negro Improvement Association what it ought to be; and in so doing defeat the enemies who are fighting

us. We cannot do this by merely talking; it can only be accomplished in terms of service. The service which each and every member renders is what will spell success for the parent body, and he wanted at this time to stress the importance of the various divisions of the organization supporting the parent body. It is the duty of every division, he said, to support the parent body even more than they do their local division. The parent body confers first and everybody else comes after.
Members Should Feel Responsibility
The officers who are carrying on the work of the organization are men who are willingly disposed to serve and sacrifice, but their work can only be successful in proportion to the amount of support they receive from the members. For, after all, the success of the organization is dependent on every member, and every man and woman who is a supporter or a sympathizer of the organization should feel himself or herself a responsible agent for the success of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Do not think that the officers are the only ones who bear the responsibility; every member should feel that it is their duty to hold up the hands of the executive officers and to help as much as possible in the carrying on of the work.
Faith in the organization was needed now more than at any other period in its history; the faith that will never make us tire in our efforts toward placing before the men that rule the American nation, the truth about Marcus Garvey's case. He believed that every white man who loves justice will be able to see that all that Marcus Garvey fought and its fighting for is a chance for the Negro to thrive and find a place in the world. Every white man who loves justice believes that it is the duty of the Negro to free himself and Marcus Garvey has come with a program which is designed to free the Negro; therefore, when the truth about his case is told, he believed that the men who control the destinies of the American nation will see that justice is done to Marcus Garvey. But, added the speaker, we must hold fast; we must demonstrate more fully our ability to do things; we must place our faith in him more implicitly and show the world that we are not afraid to own Marcus Garvey as the leader of millions of Negroes throughout the world whether he is in jail or out of jail.
HON. C. S. BOURNE'S SPEECH
The next speaker was Hon. C. S. Bourne. He said he had just come back from Atlanta, where he went to visit our President General, and he was pleased to say that Mr. Garvey sent greetings and begged him to tell the good people of Liberty Hall that his confinement has not in the least suppressed that spirit that he has manifested for the past seven years toward the Universal Negro Improvement Association. His request was to tell the members of the organization to carry on and be courageous and feel assured that every demonstration of courage and loyalty which they manifest will give him greater courage to withstand the persecutions that have been mete dout to him.
Continuing, Mr. Bourne commented with a great deal of enthusiasm on a bit of news which appeared in the New York Times of last Wednesday, which told of the action on the part of a legislative gathering of Negroes in Africa in drafting a resolution to be forwarded to the President of the United States of America, asking for clementy for Marcus Garvey. This bit of news, he said, was particularly encouraging, showing as it did that the people of Africa are equally as interested in the Universal Negro Im-

provement Association, and the President General, Marcus Garvey, us we are in the Western World. Let us therefore keep up our light for African redemption and for the release of Marcus Garvey, feeling sure that though our great leader is imprisoned physically, his spirit is still at large, guiding the destines of the Universal Negro Improvement Association.
Persecution As an Aid
"It is impossible," he said, "for anyone to understand the moral development of the Universal Negro Improvement Association without some knowledge of the persecutions that have crossed its path from its inception to the present time. In analyzing the factors which enter into the moral success of our organization we find the part played by our persecutors to be a leading feature in the term of our existence. We feel that the persecutions of our noble leader, Marus Garvey, by his enemies have prepared him for the higher ideals which he will impart to our race when he returns to us. It is our duty to support our great leader, Marus Garvey, at this time of his suffering. He it is who seven years ago gave to the

Negroes of the world an organization that has grown to be the greatest organization in the world, and we owe thanks to Providence for having given us such a man whose fact and vision and foresight has no parallel in the animals of history. Let us keep together, therefore, feeling that the persecutions which Marcus Garvey has suffered will prepare him for greater work in the Universal Negro Improvement Association when he comes back to us.
THE S.S. BOOKER WASHINGTON
DUE THIS WEEK
Mr. Bourne then gave the audience
some encouraging news about the SS
Booker T. Washington. When he
returned from Atlanta yesterday, he
said, he received a cablo from Mr.
Carter, which stated that the ship had
sailed from Jamaica on its way to Miami.
Florida, where it was expected to arrive on Tuesday. Since receiving
that cablegram he received a telegram
shortly before coming to Liberty Hall,
sent from Miami, Florida, conveying
a wireless message received there from
the ship, which indicated that she was
within a short distance of Miami, Florida.
From those reports, said Mr.
Bourne, it was expected that the Booker
T. Washington would reach New
York harbor within five or six days.

OUR WOMEN and WHAT THEY ‘THINK- Edited by Mrs. Amy Jacques Garvey -
WHAT THE SO-CALLED SAVAGE CAN’ TEACH
“Fe MISSIONARY 3
COUPLE of months ago President Coolidge, in.an address
A : to the Big Faintty of. Missionarics assembled in \Washing-
: «ton, admonished governments aiid churelies, because of the
selfish interests that often actuated their missionage work. His ad-
dress is better than many a seriion preached, and it is hoped that it
: Will bear fruit. “In part he states: oe. :
J “So-called Christians must stop carrying the vices ef civilization
to, heathen’ lands. if cur-mis-ionary efforts are te be sitccessiil. oo...
“Our liberatisst yeeds-to- be” enerous-cnough-to-recugnize-Hrat
missionary effort will often build hetter on foundations, already laid
than by attempting to substitute a complete new structure of mo-
fality, of life and-vi ethics. - 3 .
* Indeed, these who shall go ut irom amorg’us carrying the niis-
sionars message inte the tadlight places of the world will there find
much that is worthy to te brought back to enricit our ideals and
“improve cuctie: “They wilt learn many lessons Sf industry? of hu
" mmility, of reverence for parents. o® respect for constituted authority,
cahich may. quite canceisahly become adorminents te our own social
fabric. * : _
TH these why bear our message abroad shall realize dnd Lecept
the lessons that may ie learned from the humbfer and simpler
peoples, they will be the mare succeasiul i: planting tlie spiritual
truths of Christiralty. ‘Beyend thet, they will Leable te bring back
srmach that wit serve ue yell.” + : -
_ Vices and borbarities of this civilization wil always Le carried to
the heathen, by shure whuse purpuses are wet gghteeus. Sume men’s
fives cannot stand scrutiny here. and yet they are sent ty teach the
heathen the voy of salvation. Bxanfe is henter than precept and
man will iastinetively redtize Ws. be he Mobanunedan or Buddhist.
This civilization is recent, uther civilizations mere glorions: pre-
dated ‘this, and su:ne of the ~e-cxtled heathens. in Even remote ways,
bear traces vi their uneient Lineage. whieh is evidenced jay their high’
standard of murality. honesty amd tribal laws: hence it is bencticial. |
as the President points out. that the missiuiries learn some of the
Fessons thet by cxample these darker pespies teach them.
White peopic are raciaily-stitish, and because of this they dill not,
honestly and Christian-ike carry enlightenment tu backward pcoples
who are rot of their race. They also reali?e that because of the |
ignorance of these darker peunies. the white rice controls the wealth |
of the world. Hence. they argue, why sheild we jeopardize it by |
teaching them that “We are al} Gee's children, and entitled to the |
$raits of this earth”? [i Christians would be Christ-like in their ;
dealings with their ieliow men, the time of peace and plemty would |
be ushered in. aud generations urborn would call us ble~sed, |

THE NEWS AND VIEWS OF U.N.I.A. DIVISIONS
LAS MINAS, CUBA
The morning of April 10, Good Friday, found the division of Las Mínas thrbbling with excitement and all age with expectancy. Nor was the unusual hustle confined to the members only, but the entire community seemed to have caught the infection. Everybody was in holiday garb, and although there was an entire absence of Jodister's business, bounding high spirits prevailed. The roads to Liberty Hall were literally enclosed with artificial moorings going to and from the area of a saw, bats and multi-colored rammed mud-boots, an enormous area will have long in the history of the division. It was the long wait for "Unvelling Day" of October 20. All arrangements were complete. There were delegates from the divisions of Nuestra Elm and Florida Black Cross Nurses and Legionnaires from Nuestra Elm assists in the ceremony, and to help color the scene, and all were happy as a welcome gift.
Precisely at 12:30 p.m. in the pres-
ident of the division, Mr. S. C. Alex-
ander, ascended the platform, and with
three sharp strokes of the gavel drew
the attention of the audience to the
restroom. In a few well chosen wails
he greeted the gathering, professed
their memories as to the object of the
meeting and finally introduced a mester
of postmenons Mr. S. St. John,
president of the Newtown Day School.
Mr. Stephenson took the chieftain to form, a loyal son of Africa, he embarked upon the movement, spoke in terms on the life work and service of our imprisoned leader, and so succeeded the entombment of the artillery man was an empathy, led by him that paused forth the surrender of opposing ode. 'From the mountains.' So captivated him sound the crowd outside the temple of Liberty Hall was filled to plaining capacity. 'The Lord is My Father! Introduced the audience, and who doubt the sincerity of the awake of those scattered sons and daughters of Africa in a strange land.' A solitary lady presided. Mrs. Hatcher followed by Philip riding from March 26 and 27, departing the bottom and arrest of Christ, and the fate of 18th-sawed the audience back to that time 18,000 old years ago, when the age of all reemerged in the Cross as the price of salvation. And though the captain's address was short, it was singularly impressive and though it was the old, old story held again, yet one could still see the beauty and greatness of it all. But of all those that witnessed that sad scene how many thought of the explosion would make in the years to come of being woven into the theme of white thrones and empires are set, of the incoming the cornerstone of our modern civilization?
An anthem by the choir was next given entitled "The Earth Is the Lord's" followed by a poem on Africa "Roll the Omnibus" composed and recited by Miss L. Perrester. One could almost feel the gathering together of Ethiopians made in the spring word of God from Tom a good fellow of Ha Was Nailed to the Cross by Miss Baxter and Mr. Stepenson. The poem for apprehension and sadness recited left nothing to be chanted. The song beautifully united the discotec by Mr. H. Hungary. At this moment the choir saw a vision of the infidel and a vision of the uninformed. Shiva was of committed women and Laziness and Black chasers. Not as if he might come to attention. There was a moment where the two continuing changes 2 places and finally lining up before the flag. The command, "Shiva Eyes is simply given and as sharply excels us until the latter proceeding at attention. Two little girls at a given signal, pulled aside the entrance from the charter and the entire audience on their feet posed hastily forth the strains of "Ethiopia. Their Land of Our Nations." One cost is sung. The units again called and returned to their places. The charter poems were read by the secretary. The sound of the gavel is again heard. Once misalence and the chaplain trees and addresses the audience. It was readily a soul stirring speech an earnest appeal to the reader. The charter and flag are sacred charges.

He said, "truces to protect and keep and defend if needs be with our very lives. Emblems of nationhood are they, and as such must be cherished within the most sincere of our hearts." It was then 3 p.m. and the chapel announced that there would be an intermission, after which a special program would be tendered, including messages from divisions by the attending delegates. One verse of the national anthem was sung and the unveiling service was not.

OAKLAND, CAL.

For quite a long time our division has not sent any news to the Niger World, so for fear that some one might think that we are sleeping on the jobs we take this occasion to let the rest of the divisions know that the Oakland, California division is very much awake. We are, if you please, the "bomber" division of the Pacific coast. Our meetings are well attended every Sunday. All alliances are functioning happily. Contributions to all causes are very generous and enthusiasm runs high. We have pledged our loyalty to the Honorable Marcus Garvey to stick with him, for him and by him until Africa is redeemed. We have pledged our faith and loyalty to the committee of management, to work with them, for them and under their direction, until the Honorable Marcus Garvey is released and Africa redeemed. And we have further pledged our every support to the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company, to do our bit in putting it over, and we hope that each of the 500 sister divisions will do their birtie for it when the old shipyards have easy sailing. On April 5 we celebrated Garvey's Day. There was a splendid program and of enthusiasm, Mr. H. Sims of Chicago, IL, with us. Mr. Sims lives in Chicago and has for years, his family and property being there, but he is a railman and runs to Oakland. He was converted to the U. N. L. A. by this division about two years ago, and has been a member of the division ever since. He says this little division is "it." He brought us the news of the eastern divisions, and told Nacron are forking to the U. N. A. by the thousands since our leader was incarcerated. This news gives us much encouragement. The speaker of

the day was our own Rev. H. W. B. Harrison, who delivered a very impiring address. He brought the house to a roar, when the spoke of the damnable cartoon against the race published in the Chicago Defender. He said that the Defender has never defended the race, but has always defended it by the degrading things it has carried from time to time.
Garvey's Day, April 5, will be long remembered here.

Mother Love Expressed in A Letter Read After Death
(From the New York Bun)
The subjoined letter was written by Lydia Harding Hammond of 90 Morningside drive, widow of the Rev, John Depnis Hammond, to her children, to be read by them after her death, which occurred on January 24.
"Dear children: I've just made my will, and this is to tell you what I want done, with my little personal belongings. Don't keep anything just because it was mine; they are just things and worn and shabby at that; love doesn't need such things for remembrance.
"Most of my books are old and many of them I haven't looked into for years. I have loved and kept them because they have enlarged my life. Henry is to have them and my Bible, typewriter and Verdun vase.
"I won't be separated from any of you, dear children. I just will be closer to God and will understand better the ways in which prayers and faith can open ways through which God can help you, and I will be able at least to love you with all my heart and without anything in that love that will make you feel as if I wanted to control you or bother you.
"Bury my body as cheaply as you can and forget it. Don't wear mourning, unless, of course, 'Lyax' wants to. And think of me as alive, alive beyond your fittest thought, and near and loving you, and well at last, far as the winds of heaven and learning mode and more the things I want to know and growing more toward what God wants me to become.
"I think, maybe, to John will have our home ready when I come and we'll have a real home at last."
"Love one another. Hold fast to that whether you understand one another or not, and remember, nothing really matters except being kind to one another and to all the world as far as you can reach.
"YOUR LOVINGIST MOTHER."
We prefer to receive this letter as more nearly revealing, the spirit which today generally animates and inspires American family life than to join those who see in occasional records of domestic discord, parental imigration and filial neglect true indexes of the national character. The beauty of faith, and of hope, and of unselfish devotion to the simple pleasures recorded are found in countless households from the Amurle to the Pacific, from the Iberia to the Gulf. The power to see forth the sentiments of loyalty and virtue is Mrs. Hammond set forth is possessed by few, and this gives to her letter a unique and universal value.
Notice to All Members of New York. Local: A membership meeting is called on Tuesday. May 4, 1925, for the purpose of filling the vacant offices in the local. All financial members are requested to be present. W. A. GITTINS, Secy.
CROMWELL, Okla. April 25.
Willie Alexander, 210-pound Creek Indian, of Bixby, will give some other redskins of the Five Civilized Tribes a close race before the end of the year in a contest for the title of "richest Indian." Willie's income from his $80-acre allotment in the Cromwell field is now $1,000 a day. The Mid-Continent Production Corporation has completed four wells on the tract that are producing 4,000 barrels a day. Of this the Indian receives an eighth. Sixteen wells may be drilled before the oil is exhausted. Willie is classed as an incompetent and has a guardian who attends to his business matters.
The Alexander family is one of the quickest of all families of the Creek tribe. Four brothers are receiving oil royalties from their ablotsments. The ablotsments of Sally, Alex and Robbie are in Cambridge county and were leased to the Copenhagen Oil and Refining Company, which the Mjd-Continent Petroleum Corporation succeeds. Wilie's ablotsment was chosen in the Seminole Indian Nation. The others are in the Creek Nation. It was Sally Alexander who recently appeared in court and asked that his guardian be instructed to invest part of his income in farm land that he might go to work and become a useful citizen. It was said this is the first time an incompetent Indian in California has made such a request.
The Cromwell pool is spreading over other allitments, and Creek Indian incomes are likely to run between $10,000 and $20,000,000 this year. The pool is in a formerly wild section of the Southside Nation that bad little value for other agricultural or grassing purposes.

: Cuando tal portunidad se presente para qué el negro
del hemisferio -occidental se vea establecido en la madre
patria, esta orgariizacién abriga la’ esperanza de que él
haya de realizar su responsabilidad y su deber. Ello no

ende distanciados por mas de trescientos afos; pero
,tenemos el presentimiento de que cuando Ilegue cl moniento

los demés elementos de su propia raza, incurre cn un
gran‘error. Tal intencién de parte de cierto: de nuestro
elemento, de permanecer en su actual posicién y no verse
interesada en el adelanto y en la prosperidad de Africa.

practica de la decantada supcrioridad racial impuesta por
los dem4s, y por consiguicnte no estamos dispuestos a
tolerar pos mas tiempo tal imposicién de parte de propios

creen muy superiores a sus hermanos, hasta el extremo
de .opinar que cualquier reajuste cn los asuntes con-
cernientes ala raza. debe ser colocado en sus manos para
asi poder ejercer la misma clase de autocracia y de
despotismo de que hemos sido: victimas por siglos y siglos.

She Will Do All She Can Fighting Under the Flag
To the Editor of The Negro World:
Ours is a wonderful movement. I am willing to work and do all I can
16 help to improve the Negro race.
It is time for the Black man to do
d something for himself. All we are
asking for is freedom for Africa. And
the 400,000,000 Negroes of the world.
If all the Negroes in the world would
only read the Negro World, they would
soon learn and see what Mr. Garvey
is talking about. I love the U.N.L.A.
and expect to do all I can as a woman
for its advancement under the Iroo,
Black and Green until African is freed.
MRS. BIRDIE GORDON.
To the Editor of The Negro World:
'Allow me space in your wonderful paper. I am a little girl 10 years old and a member of Bristolville division, No. 61. I am 14 per cent. Garveyte, I hope our ship has returned, and that our Rider, Marcus Garvey, will come back to us to carry on his great work. I hope he will live long and the U.N.L.A. will never die.

Suggests a College for The Negro People
To the Editor of The Negro World:
I suggest that an institution capable of training scholars of the race for all the leading professors of the similar to those admitted at Harvard, Oxford, Cambridge and other leading universities of the world be founded as an auxiliary of the UMA. We cannot make the unless we can capably command what is there through their intellectual abilities.
Our children are not allowed to remain in the British elementary schools longer than two years unless they are monitors or pupil teachers in which time they cannot get the necessary education. On the other hand they are barred from scholarships in other seats of learning as it is in Jamaica. Some parents cannot afford to send their pushing boy or girl to higher schools of learning for lack of finance.

The Work of African Redemption Must Go On
To the Editor of the Negro World:
"Please allow me space in your life-giving paper to express, to the fullest my sentiments of praise to the Honorable Marcus Garvey for awakening the spirit of nationhood and a redeemed African among the Negroes of the world. May God bless him. Although he himself offers with the walls of Alphraa, I trust with God the deliver him, if for no other purpose than that they by and through him Africa may be redeemed, and a nation founded for the millions of suffering Negroes of the world."

To the Editor of the Negro World:
In the American Magazine for May there, is an article by Prof. J. Paul Goode, professor of geography in the University of Chicago, who states that we he expected to live 100 years, and to enjoy the fruit of his foresight: he could buy land at the mouth of the Congo River, in West Africa, or other important part was a picture of the Embalse in the Victoria Falls on the Zambezi River, in the right hand. Next to coal, Professor Goude ranks water as the greatest natural resource, Africa as particularly rich in rapids and falls. It is calculated that the Congo River alone has more potential electricity than there is in all of the United States.
We take that its evidence that when we say Africa for the Africans, at home, and abroad, we are positively on the right track. If a home of the mouth of the Congo River will improve the American am, English white man, who are well educated and have knowledge of the history of Africa, who would say that we are not in the right road of thought.

Natchez Division Will Carry On
To the Editor of the Negro World:
Allow me space to say a few words about the Nateche Division, No. 70.
On April 1 we celebrated our first Garvey Day. Every effort was put forth to make it a success. The members were aroused more than ever and pledged themselves to stick by their leader, Marcos Garvey. The subjects of the evening were very inspiring and dealt with unity. We meant to carry on and prove our intentions, which is to see the colors of the红 Black and Green unfurished on the hills of Africa.

JEWISH LOYALTY IS QUESTIONED
WASHINGTON, April 25. Stenographers who took down the speech of Prof. Marshall Brown, of Princeton, yesterday before the American Society of International Law furnished today their transcript of that part of his address, referring to "Jewish internationalism" that came close to causing a row and led to much discussion after the session was abruptly adjourned. Prof. Brown was reported today as saying the had cast no reflection on Jewish patriotism. Exception was first taken to his references yesterday by Arthur H. Kuhn, and led Prof. A. B. Hart of Harvard to threaten to resign from the society unless discussion was to be free and unrestricted. Officers of the society insisted no row had developed and smoothed over the incident by saying neither Prof. Brown nor Prof. Hart had appeased the Jews. The text of the disputed portion of Prof. Brown's address was obtained today to determine as accurately as stenographic notes would show, whether there had been any reflection on Jewish loyalty.
The text as furnished by the stenocritters, engaged by the society to keep a verbatim record of the proceedings, is as follows:
"On this matter of dividend allegiance, I must say seriously that I think there is grave danger, and I venture to touch a delicate subject in the best of good feelings as I know you will approach. I refer to the situation of the Jews.
"I have Jewish friends who argue for a divided allegiance, who think it is all right for a man 12 transplant himself from one country to another with greatest ease and take root in any country and, have the general privilege of protection wherever he goes and without any particular sense of obligation to the individual country where perhaps he is born, where he was nurtured and where he has raised his family.
"I fear this was a most unfortunate question to raise in connection with the problem of Zionism."
"I had the privilege of discussing the situation with that distinguished Zionist, Justice Brandels, who took the position that a may would be a good deal better Jew if he fell he had another hearth to which he could turn in allegiance.
"I venture to suggest that a great deal of the animosity, the hostility, the prejudice, the unfairness toward the Jew has been due to the unfortunate fact that the Jew has preserved the idea that he wants to keep his racial integrity; that he desires and preserves his race intact; that he is unwilling to be assimilated fully in the community in which he lives.
"I That I think is the real basis for most of the race prejudice that exists on this subject, and for that reason I feel that there is more need than ever for attaining the first obligation, it seems to me, is that of individual allegiance."
Those who resented this commentary yesterday remained unchanged today in their opinion that Prof. Brown's words, whatever his intentions, reflected upon Jewish loyalty.

New Book on Race Relations and Christianity
"Christianity and the Race Problem," by J. H. Oldham. Popular abridged edition, published for the Commission on Interracial Co-operation, 409 Palmer Building, Atlanta, Ga. Price, paper, 15 cents. The Commission on Interracial Co-operation has just brought out a special abridged edition of Dr. J. H. Oldham's "Christianity and the Race Problem," which is rated among the most important recent books on race relations. Ten of the more important books on the original volume and put into an eighty page booklet, with an introduction by Dr. W. W. Alexander, Director of the Interracial Commission.
Some of the subjects treated are the Christian view of race relations, the causes of antagonism, the significance of race, immigration, segregation, social equality, intermarriage, and political rights. The discussions are passionate, scientific and very interesting. Practical suggestions are offered for working out in safety and justice the various problems raised. The author's position in general is that radically diverse races who happen to be in contact should seek to develop parallel civilizations, in mutual respect and helpfulness, each preserving its racial integrity and making its peculiar contribution to the general welfare.
Although an Englishman whose more intimate concern is with the problems of India and Africa, Dr. Otham is nevertheless remarkably well informed as to conditions and attitudes in America. His viewpoint is broad, sympathetic, constructive and thoroughly Christian. The task will give offense to no fair-minded reader, but on the contrary, will be enlightening and helpful to all. It should be very widely read.
RECORD STARS RUN
RIOT AT LAFAYETTE
Williams and Brown, Columbia Stars in Vaudeville. Get Big Ovation—Gant and Perkins, Comediennes, Make Hit
Vaudeville as the attraction at the Lafayette Theatre seems to have given a spring revival to its patrons as the crowd which turned out to welcome the change were highly pleased with the good bill which was presented by the management.
As a top-liner George Williams and Beaise Brown, exclusively Columbia Record Stars were accorded a fine award. Miss Brown has a wonderful voice and a pleasing personality putting her numbers over in A-1 style. Williams heps with bright comedy and assisted by a capable pianist the act goes over good. Gant and Perkins, comediennes with a bright line of character and cross-the-conversation, created many laughs, getting a big hand* Dinks and McGinty in a singing act, went good. Carter and Clark Cooper and William Thomas and Riedly. Brown and Stuffins were among the acts which greatly pleased. Closing the bill, Butler's Jazz Band, a wonderful musical group, gave a splendid demonstration of real jazz playing. The audience enjoyed the dots presented, as each were well applauded.
A Request
The management of the Lafayette Theatre asks its patrons not to request; the singing of songs that would tend to throw sarcasm on those from the islands, such as the singing of the "West Indian Blues."
FIGHT FOR NEGRO OFFICERS OF OUR REGIMENT ON
The regular annual meeting of Equity Congress, was held Thursday evening, April 23, and the work of the organization during the last year was outlined in the report of Speaker Charles H. Bailey amid scenes of enthusiasm that brought reminders of the early days when the late lamented J. Frank Wheaton was at the helm. Mr. Bailey stated that the Congress and maintained its best traditions in law and policy, and that the betrayment of the welfare of the race, and pointed out that never was the power of a unified race organization felt with more significance in the territory north of Mason-Dixon line than in the last election, when every candidate for a major office supported by Equity Congress was returned a victor at the polls. He surpassed the fact that this support was of the candidate and his program, irrespective of parity and without any consideration, especially gratifying. Mr. Bailey said to know that in no base hug the confidence of the organization been misplaced.
The report covered the campaign to secure colored officers for the famous "Fighting Fifteenth" in exhaustive manner, and recited results thus far accomplished. It is the universal feeling that the time is now ripe to bring to fruition the intent of those race patrons who conceived the idea of a Negro regiment in the National Guard of the premier State of the Union. These men were founders of Equity Congress, and the organization was the weapon they wielded so magnificently and successfully in bringing the realization of the regiment also the tent of the legislators who provided the bill creating the regiment that it should be manned wholly by Negroes, and the Governor whose signature made the bill a law has specifically stated that it was his understanding that the regiment should be so officered and his intent that it would be.
When in the course of his report Speaker Bailey referred to the great mass meeting held by the Congress in Liberty Hall, with Ex-Governor William Sulger the orator of the occasion the meeting broke into spontaneous applause. The hall was filled practically to capacity at that time, but Mr. Bailey, in announcing a second mass meeting for the evening of May 6, stated that the ball would undoubtedly be filled to overflowing by

public spirited citizens of Harlem and vicinity who have already expressed their determination to be present and lead their utmost assistance in this laudable effort. The report reprinted the organization of the brilliant and capable man of the race now holding high rank in the Regular Army of the United States, and expressed the opinion that if need be Equity Congress would call upon the Governor of New York to the War Department to assign one of these men to the Colonelcy of the regiment during the period of reorganization and recruiting to full strength, and pending the master of the selection and appointment of a permanent colonel of the race.
After all reports had been submitted, received, and ratified, the election of officers for the ensuing year was taken up. By acclamation Charles H. Hall was re-elected speaker, and remaining officers were elected as follows: Dr. John R. White, deputy speaker; Albert Marx, second deputy speaker; Robert H. Hunt, assistant Alain H. Senbrook, assistant secretary; Alex, L. S. Gumby, treasurer; Dr. A. R. Vincent, chapman; Lewis E. Toppin, assistant chapman; Chas E. Cheatham, reporter, and Clement Morse, sorgent-at-arms.
The meeting extended a rising note of thanks to the true hearted citizens of both races who have so generously helped in this matter, and to the press for its almost universal support. The Congress is especially grateful to ex-Governor William Sulzer, who signed the bill creating the regiment, and to Hon. Martin J. Healy, Deputy Commissioner of Plants and Structures. Both of these men are with the energies of the military time and their energies in behalf of the campaign, and particular thanks is also extended for the great assistance that has been given by the Negro World and other Indian papers of the race.
Just before adjournment the Congress voted a continuation of its policy of absolute publicity on all subjects to which it devotes its efforts, believing that in this way the most solid and compact front can always be put forward and the greatest good accomplished in securing and safeguarding the rights and privileges that are the just due of the race under the constitutions of the State and Nation. The meeting then adjourned until the regular session to be held Sunday afternoon, April 26, at 5 o'clock in the hall of the Congress, situated in Elks Hall, 162 W. 129th Street, 2nd floor front, when the full program for the mass meeting to be held at Liberty Hall on May 6th will be worked out. Admission is free to all of those regular meetings on Sunday afternoons, and the public is cordially invited to attend and assist in this great work of the organization.
