HON. MARCUS GARVEY SAYS NO RACE, NO GROUP, HAS RIGHT TO OPPRESS OTHERS; STRIKE OUT FOR A FREE AFRICA
I desire once again to impress upon you the necessity for keeping your eyes fixed on the goal. The aims and objects, the principles of the Universal Negro Improvement Association are the same today as they were in 1918.
The Universal Negro Improvement Association seeks to emancipate the Negro everywhere, industrially, educationally, politically and religiously. It also seeks a free and redeemed Africa. It has a great struggle ahead. It has a gigantic task to face. As representatives of the Negro people throughout the world, we have undertaken the task of emancipating the members of our race and our bleeding Motherland, Africa. We are determined to lay down, if need be, the last drop of our blood for the defense of Africa and the emancipation of the race.
The handwriting is on the wall. You can see it as plain as daylight. You see it in the uprisings in India, in Syria, in China, in Africa. The handwriting is on the wall, and we are answering with a united effort, a united determination to free Africa from coast to coast.
No Safety Anywhere
There is no safety for the Negro in the white world anywhere. We are lynched, burned, segregated, oppressed and humiliated everywhere. Circumstances have forced us to take a stand, and we are fighting with our backs to the wall. Prejudice will be the downfall of civilization. No portion of humanity, no group of humanity has an abiding right, an eternal and everlasting right to oppress other sections or portions of humanity.
Some nations believe themselves to be above the law of God. Their very arrogance will prove to be their destruction. Some races and nations have arrogated to themselves the right to oppress, the right to circumscribe, the right to keep down other races. But the hour is coming when the oppressed will rise in their might, in their majesty, and throw off the yoke of ages.
Old Negro Is Buried
The world ought to understand by this time that the Negro people have come to life. The new Negro is possessed with a new conscience and a new soul. The old Negro is buried. The day is bound to come when the races of the world will marshal themselves in great conflict. Then only the fittest will survive. Men and women of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, I am asking you to prepare yourselves and prepare your race the world over. This conflict is coming, not because you will it, not because you desire it, but because you will be found into it. The conflict of the men is drawing answer and nearer.
NEGROES ARE NOW FIGHTING WITH THEIR BACKS TO THE WALL
Little Side Issues Must Be Forgotten and Bigger Ideas Cherished
BLIND ARROGANCE AND PREJUDICE OF THE STRONG TODAY WILL REACT TO THE ADVANTAGE OF THE AMBITIOUS NEGRO
am asking the four hundred million Negroes of the world to prepare yourselves, so that you will not be found wanting when that day comes. It will be a sorry day. I know that we have good men in all races living at the present time. We have good men in every race who are endeavoring to do the best they can to ward off this coming conflict. Oh! If the world would only listen, to those who have the vision. White men, black men, yellow men are working assiduously for the peace of the world, but the opposition they are encountering is weighing them down.
The Unrighteous Shall Perish
You may ask yourselves if you believe that Africa is asleep. Africa has been slumbering, but she has been slumbering for a divine purpose. Africa still possesses her hidden mysteries. Africa has unused talents, and we are going to unearth them. I am hoping that the white world will change its attitude toward the weaker races of the world, for we shall not be everlastingly weak. As nations have fallen in the past, so will they fall in the present. So will they fall in the ages to come as a result of their unrighteousness.
We are aggrieved over the partitioning of Africa because it deprives Negroes of the chance of higher national development. No chance, no opportunity is given us to prove our fitness to govern in our own behalf. Because of their desire to keep us down, because of their desire to keep us apart, they refuse to give us a chance. But Negroes are wide awake. They intend to take a serious part in the future government of this world. God Almighty made the black man and placed him in the world. This world owes us a place, and we are determined to occupy that place. We have a right to a large part in the political horizon, and I say to you that we are preparing to occupy it.
Africa Must Be Saved
Now is the time for every man and woman to fall in and help the Universal Negro Improvement Association to put over its program. It is no use debating; it is no use argu-
ing. It is a question of doing it now, or preparing ourselves to die tomorrow. All peoples who are desirous of holding a place in the world are now preparing to take it, not by arguing, but by determining among themselves that it must be done. The Irish say that there must be a free and independent Ireland, the Egyptians say there must be a free and independent Egypt, the Jews say there must be a free and independent Palestine, and the Universal Negro Improvement Association, acting in behalf of four hundred million Negroes, says there must be a free and redeemed Africa.
Other men have done great things in the past; other races have liberated themselves from slavery in the past; other groups have built up empires and nations in the past. The time has now come for the four hundred million Negroes to build up an empire of their own upon which the sun will never set.
Methods Vary at Different Stages
In waging a propaganda the thing said yesterday for effect must, for diplomacy's sake, after you have succeeded thus far, be changed tomorrow for the greater effects, and anyone who thinks that the Universal Negro Improvement Association should always be giving expression to radical and iconoclastic ideas has not the full grasp of human efforts and human achievements. Study the rise of peoples, of governments, of nations and empires, and you will find that at certain times they have had propagandists; at other times they have had statesmen; still at other times they have had diplomats, and at other times they produce builders. Between the start and the finish we have to produce men of different calibres for different purposes:
I trust members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association will pay no attention to the criticisms levied against our movement, but that all of us will focus our thoughts, our ideas, our resources, our all, on the great object of a free and redeemed Africa. Everybody is now talking about Africa. We are glad of the change, as brought about through the propaganda of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. We only hope that the so-called friends of Africa will act in the interest of Africa enough to put aside their little side issues and fall in line with the bigger ideas of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, which seeks to emancipate Negroes everywhere.
AMERICANS TO FOUND "RUBBER EMPIRE" IN REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA

300,000 Natives to Be Employed at Starvation Wages—"Malays Receive 24 Cents a Day from British, and Liberians Will Work for Less." Says Firestone, Gloating Over Cheap Labor
(From the N. Y. Times, Oct. 16)
Harvey S. Firestone, President of the Firestone Tire and Rubber Company, said yesterday that the Firestone Plantation Company, of which he is president, would invest $100,000,000 in developing its rubber concession in Liberia, and would eventually have 1,000,000 acres of rubber trees growing on what is now bush and jungle. Outlining his plans in an interview at the Hotel Plaza yesterday, Mr. Firestone said he had formed twenty planting organizations, and expected eventually to have an output of 250,000 tons of rubber a year, which is more than 80 per cent of the world's present output. At present, America controls 2 percent of the world's rubber production, the remaining 97 percent being controlled by British and Dutch capital.
"This is the first big movement that America has made to obtain her own rubber," said Mr. Firestone.
The rubber manufacturer described how he had sent exploring parties of experts out three years ago to look the world over for that acresage suitable for rubber, grazing, alpine he had been led to the determination to grow his own rubber, because of the British restrictions which kept down the out-

put and kept up the price. Politics, difficult laws, and revolutions kept him out of the Philippines, Mexico and Central America, but his agents reported ideal conditions in Liberia.
To Employ, 300,000 Natives
A contract with the Liberia Government enables the American company, Mr. Firestone said, to survey the whole of Liberia and choose here and there the land best suited for rubber productions until 1,000,000 acres have been taken over. His plans call for the employment of more than 300,000 natives, besides a great organization of whites.
One 2,000-acre plantation—a going concern in British hands—was purchased outright by the company, and its production of thousands of pounds of raw rubber per month is coming to this country, though the plantation is being used mainly as a great nursery of rubber trees for the new ones.
His million-acre project will be the greatest rubber plantation in the world. Mr. Firestone said, and America's greatest investment in, the tropics, involving practically the physical remodeling of a whole country—the building of harbors, roads, towns, hospitals and other public works.
The new corporation has already let a contract to the J. G. White Engineering Company of New York to build a harbor at Monrovia, the capital and principal city of Liberia. Liberia now has no shipping facilities, the ships riding off the coast and landing and taking shipment with the help of surfboats when the weather favors. A great breakwater will be constructed so that ships may be in shelter and unload from lighters. It will take five or six years for the plantations now being set out to mature, and until then at least two shipping lines which now touch Liberia will be sufficient to carry freight for the Firestone Plantations Company. Later, he instated, the company might enter the shipping business.
The projected $100,000,000 commercial empire which will be planted in Africa would have gone to the Philippines, according to Mr. Firestone, except for the fact that, native politicians two years ago opposed the invasion of American capital on a large scale, for fear that heavy American investments there would postpone the day of Philippine independence. Mr. Firestone said he understood that a change of feeling had taken place in the islands, and that subbar, growers would be welcomed there now.
M. A. Cheeke, a rubber planter, who carried on part of the exploration work that prefigured the negotiations with the Liberian government, said yesterday, that, in spite of its position on the west coast of Africa, within a few degrees of the equator, the climate of Liberia was pleasant and healthy. "If Liberia was in easy distance of this city, New Yorkers would never go to Florida," he said. "There is a variation of temperature from 55 to occasional extremes of 105. It is very much like Florida, with better fishing. There is practically no hunting, however, the dense population having killed out most animal life. This one reason for its healthiness, as there are few mammals to carry disease parasites. There is some malaria, but it will be stamped out entirely. The average native is a man of powerful build and a fine worker. This abundant labor supply is one of the only advantages of the place."
One reason for the fine plumage of the native, it was said, is that they carry burrow of all sizes on their heads, so that they develop trunked stitching and nails. Carrying forty or fifty pounds all day long on his head is said to be nothing to a native Liberian.
"If you give a native Liberian a silver coin of a tip, will be if the recently returned members of the Liberian army, he will get a photo on his hand and carry the coin about on the plane. If you give him a letter to his hand, it will get the letter on the letter and back in a letter."

U. N. I. A. POLITICAL UNION IN CHICAGO SECURES' STAY OF EXECUTION FOR EIGHTEEN-YEAR-OLD LAD SENTENCED TO DEATH IN SLAYING OF POLICEMAN
(Special to The New York World)
CHICAGO—Due to a successful fight for justice waged by the Universal Political Union of Chicago, a stay of execution until November 6 has been issued—in the case of McCarthy, an 18-year-old had recently sentenced to 18 years in prison.
This case attracted the attention of the member of the Chicago Provisional of the U. N. I. A. when it became known that the youth had no affinity to either and had him and the man in which he did the crime brought him to the attention of the police.
Mississippi W. A. Wallace, R. Wheat, J. H. Miles and B. H. Miles, officers of the Chicago Provisional of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, decided to bring the youth to the attention of police and sentenced him to death.
The world has several times been threatened, with diamond mines. Nearly a century ago experts calculated that the diamond supply was rapidly decreasing and could not long be expected to meet the demand. The discovery of the South African diamond mines solved the problem for a long period. A generation ago much was written about the rapid growth of the demand for diamonds, especially in America, and the probability of a serious diamond shortage if new sources of supply were not even discovered. Likelihood of a diamond shortage for some time to come has been removed by the discovery of diamonds in the Belgian Congo. Although diamonds were first discovered, in this region as late as 1907, the development of the industry has been remarkable. It is virtually a post-war industry. During 1923 and 1924 nearly 20 per cent of the world's supply of diamonds, measured by weight, was gathered in these mines.
It has been necessary in some places to cut away almost impenetrable jungle at great expense before mining operations could be commenced. In other regions, the diamond deposits are covered by deep sand, clay and silt. The new African mines are believed to be the largest in the world. It is estimated that the diamond-bearing earth is spread over 130,000 square miles. Since the region lies just south of the equator climatic conditions encountered are difficult. This region had rarely been penetrated until the discovery of diamonds. To reach it a river journey of some 500 miles is necessary from the nearest railroad.
The equipment of the mines is modern and up to date. A narrow gauge railroad has been built and more than 1,000 miles of automobile roads constructed. Several powerful whirlstars stations are maintained by the diamond company to keep in touch with the outside world.
The quality of the diamonds mined varies widely. Many of the stones are blue-white or colorless and transparent, comparing favorably with those from other parts of the world. Many are yellow and brown, green, blue and red. There is a wide variation in size. Diamonds of forty carats have been found and ten-carat stones are comparatively common. Many of the stones are found in the bends of streams where the action of the water has chipped them.
About fifty diamond mines are in operation in this general region. A single company now employs nearly 55,000 workmen. A force of a few hundred white men directs thousands of natives.
Coolidge Doubts Arms Ban Would Cut Crime
WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.—President Coolidge is not certain whether anything could be accomplished in reducing crime by legislation prohibiting the shipment of firearms in interstate commerce. There is an agitation in the country at present for such legislation. Before he would commit himself-President Coolidge would like to have expert opinion from police officials and others who have studied crime.
Offhand, the president believes that such a law would prevent firearms reaching those entitled to them to protect their homes while criminals would have no trouble in obtaining them.
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
This is to certify that I have designated and appointed Norton G. Thomas, Executive Secretary to the President-General, acting Managing Editor of The Negro World instead of Associate Editor. As previously stated, Mr. Thomas and Mrs. Amy Jacques-Garvey shall be the directors of the policy of the paper.

HOTEL FOR NEGROES WRECKED BY MOD IN LOS ANGELES
Angry Mob Hurls Stones at Negro Inh—White Residents Object to Encroachment of Negroes Into Sacred Tergitory Police Halt Further Violence
A crowd mid-to-have contained 100 men and women in twenty-five automobiles last night stormed a place about to be opened as a colored rooming house at 1213 East Fifty-eighth Drive and, hurling stones, flower pots and sewer pipe, smashed windows and broke furniture in the place. Fearing further violence, the Sheriff's office left an automobile full of armed guards to patrol the district throughout the night. Before going to the rooming house the crowd stopped at the near-by home of J. L. Deckard, colored, 1238 East Fifty-eighth place, and when Richard Deckard, a cousin of J. L. Deckard, came to the door in response to knocks he was told to "get out before morning or we'll move you out."
The crowd then left, and while it was stoning the, Fifty-eighth Drive house Deckard called the Sheriff's office, which rushed deputies to the scene. They and two cars of police from the Seventy-seventh street police station searched the district but found no three of the disturbing visitors. The rooming house was to have been opened by Mrs. Roberta Carter, a colored woman, and one of its principal guests was to have been George Godfrey, the pugilist, according to the deputies. Deckard told the deputies that he moved into the district about three months ago, and that two days after he moved in his porch was painted red and a notice, "Move and move right away" was painted on it. The threat was signed "K. K. K." Deckard reported this and several other similar threats and painting of the house, he told the deputies, but police were unable to find the culprits.
The trouble occurred below Slauson avenue, near Central avenue, just outside the city and in the Florence district. Residents in the neighborhood have been objecting, the deputies said, to encroachment of colored persons into the territory south of Slauson avenue. Deckard moved into the trouble zone and then came the arrangements of Mrs. Carter to open the colored rooming house.

Deputy Sheriffs Pennywright, Slough, Burkig and Bohn answered the call to the sheriff's office. Captain of Detectives George Smith sent the Seventy-seventh street police to assist the deputies. Captain Harrod of the sheriff's office commanded the patrol that remained in the district throughout the night.
Dr. K. Sagimoto, a rice expert attached to the Tokio Nutrition, Laboratory, one of the three special scholars of the Rockefeller Foundation, said that one of his missions abroad would be to teach the people of the United States how to eat rice." He has been making a special study of the nutritive value of rice for the last five years and has experimented on thirty persons.
EX-KAISER COMES OUT AS FOE OF THE BLACK MAN
Instead of Continuing to Saw Wood, Talks Glibly of "White Supremaoy" and Black and Yellow Peril—Effectiveness of Negro in World War Rankles
LONDON, Oct. 17.—A interview with the former Kaiser, in which he reiterates all his old views on the "yellow peril," is printed in the Observer tonight. The former German Emperor forsees China receiving help against the European powers primarily from Soviet Russia, perhaps also from Japan. "According to press reports," says the former Kaiser, "200,000 men in the pay of Moscow and armed and equipped by Japan are said to be held in readiness for China in case of an emergency." From this William Hohencollern draws the conclusion that the maintenance of peace in Europe depends upon the revival of Germany, and that is possible, he contends, only when the peace treaty is scrapped.
"I know what I am saying," he declared, "for I kept peace in Europe for twenty-five years. England is not at present prepared to acknowledge the facts. France, on the other hand, is prepared for every emergency. She is said to be establishing a strong air base on the Rhine again both London and Berlin.
"Marlanne seems to be indulging in a little firstiation with Bosehovitsk Russia and with Japan at the expense of the Anglo-Saxon bloc. That is the reason why France will not pay her debts to the United States, although her income is ample enough even without reparations from Germany. She uses American money for armaments."
"The backbone of Europe is Germany, hence Germany must be destroyed," he says. "Germany, in their calculations, constitutes a breach in the Western wall through which the Bolshevik and Asiatic allies can pour their yellow hordes for a final onslaught upon Europe."
"This cataclysm that threatens the white race and Western civilization is certain to have sinister if not fatal consequences to the prosperity and safety of the United States. America sometimes forgets that both Japan and Russia are her neighbors, for in these days of aerial navigation oceans or stretches of ice no longer divide nations, Japan, backed by Moscow and China, is a formidable antagonist. "If London, Paris and Washington sincerely desire to avert this cataclysm they have only one choice—they must rearm Germany and put her on her feet again." "America's refusal to take sides against China is sensible and intelligible as representing her interests, but the principle of race equality promulgated by Senator Borah Threatens the supremacy of the white race."
"It will be quoted by all colored nations. What is sauce for the Chinese goose is sauce for the colored gander. What he claims for the Chinese he must grant to the African and to the Indian."
William sees the blacks of Africa raising their claims. He says:
"The blacks may base an additional claim to recognition as equals upon the fact that they were employed by the white powers on European soil to fight the best blood of the white race in Europe, the Germans, and to keep them in bondage."
"Senator Borah will be hailed as a champion of colored nations and will be acclaimed by the Moscow Third International, for his statement asserts the principle - that the Bohneviki are as paints to spread over the whole world, namely, the equality of the colored races with the white race. No country, America least of all, may safely refuge to bear a share in the struggle to uphold the leadership and purity of the white race."
REPRESENTATIVES OF U.N.I.A. DIVISIONS HOLD CONFERENCE

British Station Is Ready to Telephone to New York
LONDON, Oct. 15. After years of research work a London-New York wireless telephone exchange is about to become a reality. The telephone transmitting station at Rugby has been finished and this week is being taken over by the British Postoffice. Transmission tests to America are likely to take place within the next few days.
When the service starts, a London subscriber will ask for a long-distance call, to New York as he now asks for one to Birmingham. The charge for a three-minute call from London to New York probably will not exceed £1. For some time past the high-power American transmission station at Rocky Point, L. L. has been sending test messages to the British, receiving station at Chezog, and these having proved satisfactory the station has been enlarged to become eventually the terminal whence incoming calls will be sent to the London exchanges.

and creed. Divine Providence has not bestowed upon any race a monopoly of patriotism and character."
President Coolidge pointed out that in the nation's wars and in its industries in times of peace all of the race groups and creeds that go to make up the American citizenship had contributed their share in patriotism and character and service and should share alike in the enjoyment of the good things they had created.
The whole address is a marvel of common sense and eloquence which must appeal to all of the people of the country as the thing most needful to be said at this time.

A GREAT AMERICAN DEAD
WE feel, that the nation has sustained a very great loss in the death of Mr. James Buchanan Duke, of North Carolina, who spent much of his time in New York. Mr. Duke was a master builder. He consolidated the tobacco interests of the nation, and internationalized the consolidation, and he developed the water power of North Carolina. In tobacco and water power development he amassed a great fortune.
While most other Southerners of light and leading were devoting themselves to politics and the undoing of the results of the Civil War and in trying "to keep the Negro in his place," Mr. Duke, and his father, Washington Duke, went about building up the waste business places of the South and in striving to get the races to work together for their mutual advantage and the good of their State. He was eminently successful in all of his works, and charitable to the last degree. And he did not draw the color-line in dispensing his charity He gave liberally to Negro uplift, work in money and encouragement as to the like white work. Just before he died he gave $40,000,000 for higher education in North Carolina, in the distribution of which the Negro will share with his white fellow-citizens. We need more Americans like James Buchanan Duke.

FIRESTONE TIES UP LIBERIA FOR NINETY NINE YEARS
CROOKS WHO ROB THE IGNORANT AND UNWARY
WE dare say there was a general reaction to President- General Garvey's plea, in his front page article in The Negro World last week against the crickets of all sorts
THE expected has happened. Liberia has alienated to the Firestone Tire and Rubber Company 1,000,000 acres of land for rubber development and a 2,000-acre rubber plantation fully matured and bearing, the land concessions to run for ninety-nine years. The company plans to spend $100,000,000 in developing the lease. The announcement was made in New York by Harvey S. Firestone on Wednesday of last week. Mr. Firestone said the concession was the largest ever given to a rubber company, foreign or American. This would indicate that he does not regard Liberia as foreign but as being domestic to the United States. The concession granted him would appear to justify him in so regarding the relationship between the two countries in that intimate way. Certainly, hereafter, no foreign country will attempt to do things in Liberia without taking the government of the United States into account.
who take advantage of the ignorance and credulity of the race to rob them in one way and other of their hard-carned dollars. The crooks are not confined to Negro people but, include many whites who make a nice living and sometimes grow rich in their questionable business. Grafters they are and they do not draw the race and color line in their operations. They pluck their victims wherever they find them and they find them everywhere, because the crooks and grafters like the ignorant and unwary are to be found in all race groups. But that there should be so many white crooks and grafters hitched upon the Negro group of every community, as they are upon that of our
Mr. Firestone declared that English and Dutch capital now control 97 per cent, of the rubber output of the world, and he proposes "to make England realize that America is now in the rubber business in earnest." Hon. Edwin Barclay, secretary of state for Liberia, who has been in the United States for some months perfecting the conditions of the concession, has said that labor is abundant in Liberia at twenty-five cents a day. That is cheap enough for labor in all conscience, cheap enough to keep outside labor from rushing in to get a share of the $100,000,000 the Firestone Company proposes to spend for development purposes.
own New York, Harlem, and that they should make a good living and sometimes get rich in the easy way, is much to be marveled at. Black folks are really only offensive to white folks when the latter cannot make an easy thing of life by living among the former and preying upon them. As a matter of fact we pay from 5 to 50 percent, more for everything we buy in Harlem, say, than we should, and than others pay in white neighborhoods.
And the Negro people everywhere buy many things, for cash and on the installment plan, which they do not need and which they should not buy, and which makes it hard for them to make ends meet. The grocery basket and the installment goods agents keep them poor from week to week. And the gamble runs through most of the things considered necessary, from shoestrings to rent.
It looks as if the Firestone Company has succeeded in tying up Liberia for ninety-nine years. The concession on the face of it destroys the sovereignty of Liberia and places it at the mercy of the Firestone Tire and Rubber Company, backed of course by the government of the United States, which is bound to protect the interests of its citizens doing business in foreign countries.
Don't buy anything unless you need it. Pay cash for what you buy and steer clear of the instalment plan in buying a tomato or a house.
Will the people of Liberia ratify the work of concession made to the Firestone Company by President King, Secretary Barclay and Consul-General Ernest Lyon? We shall have to wait to find out. Perhaps the contracts have been so drawn as to make ratification by the people unnecessary, provided the constitution of the country does not stand in the way of that sort of thing. However it may turn out, the people of Liberia have our sympathy and the hope that their sovereignty has not been undermined by the conditions of the concession.
One of the great misfortunes of the race is that the average of them is poor. This is true of the ignorant as well as of the educated Negro. He starts life with nothing, practically, and he has not the same opportunities to make his way in the world that members of the other race groups have. He does not buy and sell among his own as others do. He is mostly a wage-carner, and he must depend for the most part upon others and not upon his own for employment: But he has all the extravagant notions of living that others more favored have. We want the best of everything, and he manages to get much of it, but in doing so he makes himself a slave to his desires and can save but little for the rainy day or the lean that follow the fat years. On this account we have more crooks and grafters than should fall to our lot. We shall have fewer when we have more average intelligence and wealth, and we are moving slowly in that direction.
AMERICAN HESSIANS WILL LEAVE MOROCCO
IT is creditable to the responsible daily newspaper press of the United States that it has from the first disapproved of the enlistment of American aviators in the French war against the Riffs in Morocco, with the impression that American sentiment favored the French rather than the Riffian side of the controversy. Condemnation of the American airmen's dropping bombs on non-combatant Arab villages, with the reckless destruction of the lives of old men and women and children, has been very general in the United States, and has had its effect on the French authorities, who are constrained to defer to American public opinion in such matters of international moment.
PRESIDENT COOLIDGE PLEADS FOR A TOLERANT PUBLIC OPINION
IN one of the greatest addresses ever delivered by a president, President Coolidge, in addressing the members of the American Legion convention at Omaha, made a splendid plea for toleration and racial co-operation for the greatest good for the whole nation. Speaking on freedom of thought and speech as among the priceless things we possess, he said:
Two cablegramis dated October 12, one at Ouezzan and the other at Fez, in Morocco, tell the story. The one from Ouezzan tells a graphic story of the activities of the bombing of Arab towns by the Americans, including Abd-el-Krim's own stronghold, "the squadron intensifying their activities to inflict as much damage as possible on the Rifian forces before continuing rains make further flights impossible." Soon after this cablegram was sent the French commander in Morocco must have heard from the War Office in Paris, as the following cablegram followed the first, the two being published in the same editions of the American newspapers:
"I recognize the full and complete necessity of 100 per cent. Americanism, but 100 per cent. Americanism may be made up of many various elements.
"If we are to have that harmony and tranquility, that union of spirit which is the foundation of real national genius and national progress, we must all realize that there are true Americans who did not happen to be born in our section of the country, who do not attend our place of religious worship, who are not of our racial stock, or who are not proficient in our language. If we are to create on this continent a free republic and an enlightened civilization that will be capable of reflecting the true gratitude and glory of mankind, many useful things are learned from those who disagree with us; and even when we can gain understanding our differences are likely to do us no harm."
FEZ. French Morocco, Oct. 12 (A. P.)—Approaching dissolution of the Sherifian Escadrille, composed of American aviators volunteering for service against the Moroccan rebels, was announced today.
"This escadrille," the communique says, "now is reaching the end of its activities. Its members have shown themselves worthy of their great reputations. A number of other escadrilles will be moved to Algeria at an early date."
Sparkling on the question of tolerance and what constitutes patience and character. President Coolidge said:
The French government had evidently heard the protest from America against the American Hessian Airmen's employment and questionable exploits and the French War Office had evidently notified the French high command in Morocco, and the American airmen, in the full swing of their activities, and with the approval of the French commander, had their term of life in the French service in Morocco modified set, and apparently with little ceremony.
If American soldiers extend sympathy with the work in their struggles for self-government the American people will not sympathize with them when they take action with the strong and violent Wight against the war. They are always by their side with the struggle of the United States, who achieved their independence when they were free and well treated. Great Britain alone they were not.
These should be an intellectual demobilization as well as a military demobilization. Progress depends very largely on the enlargement of variety. Whatever tends to standardize the relationship to geopolitical fixed and rigid modes of thought, tends to geopolitical society. If we all believed the same thing and thought the same things and applied the same valuations to all five co-
THE CLOUD OVER SOUTH AFRICA
For over a century now, the white people in South Africa have been pursuing the policy of expropriating and repressing the natives; and it is clear that they are ablout to reap what they have sown. The facts of the position are so tangible that the mere schoolboy can grasp them. In South Africa within the so-called Union, there is a native population of 5½ million and a white population of only 1½ million but the small white population is occupying nine-tenths of the land while the far larger native population is confined to the remaining one-tenth of the territory. If the white race were the original inhabitants of this part of Africa there would be some excuse for the minority claiming and owning the larger portion of the territory. But the blacks, naturally are the owners of the soil, and the whites as more settlers have deprived the rightful owners of the larger portion of their heritage. The injustice, done to the natives is too glaring, and the fact that it does not appear so in the view of white people both in South Africa and in Britain is a true indication that the doctrine of "group morality" the doctrine that what is morally wrong between white and white cannot be morally wrong between white and black—is steadily gaining adherents among the white race in the British Empire. We are told that the Native States of South Africa the population is increasing and overflowing and soon these places would become intolerably congested. On the other hand the white settlers have large tracts of land lying idle and uncultivated. It is not that the white people there have actual need of the land the, retain but that they hold it through sheer greed and covetousness. Nor is it only in the matter of land-grabbing that the natives have a legitimate grievance. The whole economic system of the country is based upon the ruthless exploitation of the natives particularly in the sphere of cheap labor. And with all this manifest injustice in a portion of the British Empire, as to which the usually articulate London Press is significantly silent, it is not surprising that even in South Africa the worm is turning. One of our contributors recently observed that the black man is absurdly impatient, but there is a limit even to the black man's forbearance. It is reported that racial unity, always the outcome of oppression, is spreading and that the blacks of every clan "are banding together in a spirit of race-consciousness considered impossible a few years ago," which is highly gratifying. If the blacks in South Africa become united as the whites have united to deprive them of their land and to keep them down as a source of cheap labor, a conflict will be inevitable. And in any conflict between black and white upon the grievances disclosed, the natives will have the sincere sympathy of colored people not only in Africa and America but in India and probably in China and Japan.
The root of the problem is that the white people there have somehow come to regard South Africa as their own country and the natives there as settlers or squatters and with this belief that the country belongs to them rather than to the natives, they are looking to the solution of the problem by some other method than the right one; they are looking to the relief of the situation by a greater increase in the white population. The simple solution lies near to hand, but they refuses to consider it, for those whom the gods, would destroy they first drive mad. The mentality of the white people of South Africa is not normal, and, indeed, it is doubtful whether at the present time the mentality of oil white people is normal as regards their dealing with colored people. The only possible solution of the problem in South Africa lies in the immediate handing over to the native population the land which the white people have taken away from them and the reserving to the latter only such portion of the territory as will meet with their immediate requirement. The arrangement should such that as the black population increases land, unoccupied by the whites should be available to them. This is a reasonable demand, for the land belongs to the natives and they should have sufficient room and their expansion with the right to live in their own God-given country. In other respects, they should be placed in a position of equality with white people before the law and be allowed to work out their economic salvation unharmed. It should not be a question of saving South Africa from the natives for the white race—a monstrous doctrine—but one of making the country accessible to black and white alike. This will be a divine justice and the white people will have to conform to it now and of their own accord, or avoid it for circumstances ultimately to compel them to conform to it. Meanwhile we in West Africa will continue to watch with unabated interest the trend of the events in South Africa and the struggle of the members of our race these for freedom and security in the enjoyment of their ancestral rights.

American Soldiers
Leave an Army of
Filipine Bastards
Where the white page meets the
brown in the Philippine Islands, a
great need for charity has developed.
Major Gen. Leonard Wood, Governor
General of the Islands, is attempting
to do something about it. In a cabled
appeal, published here yesterday, he
says: "The problem involves the
honor of the American Nation."
It involves the bringing up of 15,000
children of American fathers and Filipino
mothers, accumulated in the
islands since Admiral Dewey's fleet
brought them under the American flag.
Among the 41,000,000 native population, a resident American colony of 6,000 is maintained by soldiers and civilians who come and go. They take wives easily among the brown women when they go so far East, and they leave them as easily when they go back to the Stitutes.
The fatherless Filipino-American boys usually grow to be vagabonds of the Orient. The girls are sought by the Chinese. "It is a blot on American prestige in the Orient," says Gen. Wood's cible. It was made public here by Mrs. Mary Frances Kern, who has been authorized by Gen. Wood, to raise a fund of $20,000 to provide an income which will make it possible to rescue some of the 2,500 most desperately situated of these children. "In one case," said Mrs. Kern, "and it is not unusual, we found that a Filipino-American girl of twelve had been sold to a Chinese in return for a pig.
"These children are worth saving," she said.
"It would be an investment in good American citizenship," cabled Gen. Wood. He pointed out that the overtaxed 6,000 American residents of the islands cannot undertake the task which has been left to them by the outgoing tide of their predecessors. By lot of the Philippine Legislature upon his recommendation the American Guardian Association of Manila has been incorporated for the purpose, and Mrs. Kern has been given the task of raising the funds.
Her office is at No. 5 West 40th street, Room 2002. Among those who already have pledged their active support to Gen. Wood's plan and appeal for a fund of $2,400,000, are men most of whom have lived in the Philippines, such as William Howard Taft, Chief Justice of the United States; former Gov. Gen. Cameron Forbes; Major Gen. James G. Harbord, former Gov; James F. Smith, Major Gen. Hugh L. Scott, Vice President Charles G. Davis and others.
Fluctuations in Cost Of Living Continue
(From the New York World)
After advancing for four months wholesale prices have again begun to recode. So far during the current year there have been two short upward swings and two downward swings, the last of which has just been definitely established by recent statistical data. At the beginning of the year prices were rising, and they reached their peak in March. The rise stimulated overproduction in a number of big industries, and as a result the price level declined rather abruptly during April and May. As supply became better adjusted to demand, prices became thinner during July and August, but the rise was checked in September, and all available data for October point to a renewal of the resign.
In spite of this success, the fluctuations in wholesale prices during the current year have been less pronounced than in either 1923 og.1924. It is also to be noted, that the financial avenues for this year has held substantially above that of the two preceding years. In fact, the 1928 price level so far has been the highest since 1920. This does not appear to accord with the view of many economists that the trend of prices during the next decade, or so will be downward, but there are a number of reasons for believing that conditions recently conducive of higher prices have been exceptional. The decline that has generally begun will cancel some of this year's advance.

Much of a man's progress in life depends upon the impressions he creates. One of the easiest ways to make a pleasing impression is by being punctual. The slight effort necessary in arriving on time is soon forgotten and few things will assist as greatly in putting us in tune with our work and counting the day to spare smoothly and pleasantly.

Deadheads on Letterheads
Liberia Borrows $20,000
Aside from any personal admiration or confidence in the mental and political strength of the Honorable Benjamin J. Davis of Georgia, wo are rejoicing over his recent election as National Committeeman to succeed the late Henry Lincoln Johnson, primarily because he is a black man. Race conscious? Yes, very. The right sort of Negro can no more help being race conscious than he can help being a Negro. If you are not and you are a Negro, examine yourself.
It will be a great day when the compromising, apologizing parasites of the race realize that the white man has no respect for him who is neither black nor white in his sentiments. Those among us who are Negroes first and everything else afterward are the ones who are doing most to solve, some of our manifold problems. We congratulate Mr. Davia. His elevation to high place in the state and nation stimulates and encourages. If this is a great game of the survival of the fittest, we are glad, that some of us show our fitness by survival.
An article on "Deadheads on Letterheads," which appeared in a recent issue of a widely circulated magazine, ought to have been read by just about a million Negroes in this country. Among other things, the writer says, "If all of the deadheads on all of the letterheads of the country were to be decently armed, the conteries would be larger than the conventions." A race-loving Negro hesitates to visualize such a catastrophe. In such an event, without a doubt, we would have to struggle along without just about two-thirds of our prominent men and women.
A publicity complex in most of us is the reason for this condition. If somebody would inaugurate the custom of putting nothing on letterheads but the name and address of the society—organization, there wouldn't be any reason to forl ease to work. But that is too much even to hope for.
...
Uncompensatory comparisons are embarrassing, but they are usually eyepersons. Here comes Mr. Howard E. Young, former secretary to Bishop W. Suckson Brooks in Minneapolis, with a tale that, if true, is decidedly not to the credit of our 1) little Republic, Liberia, Mr. Young says that Liberia borrowed $2,000 from the bank of British West Africa for the recent inauguration of President C. B. King. It was bid enough for him to call our attention to this little bit of poor judgment on the part of Liberia, but Mr. Young goes from bad to worse by reindering us that "the inauguration of President Coolidge, head of the richest country, in the world, only cost $3,000 and lasted a little over one hour."
We have no reason to the world, to doubt Mr. Young's venacity, but such revelations are exceedingly disconcerting. Some people might call him a mean man. He, even intimated that champagne flowed freely at the inauguration ceremonies. Well they probably had a good time, anyway. Then, too, it is rumored that banks in that part of the world have ceased exacting interest on borrowed money. (But please do not investigate the last statement; you might embarrass the writer.)
Federal Constitution directed against each State in the Union, if you please, there is a growing disregard of the rights vouchsafed the citizen of color. —Cleveland Call.
After all, it is the opinion of thoughtful people that the contribution of the best white and colored people in this country, will be the means which will serve as a bulwark to save if from wanton destruction, and it will always be this same spirit of fair play which serve to stop the hands whose blow is spurred by hatred and prejudice. —Newport, News Star.
What a frail thing man is: resolves and dissolves, he climbs and falls, he thinks and goes cray, he helps life and destroys life, he loves, and hages and at last he looks up to something higher than himself and pays without the aid of something drawing me upward I can do nothing. —The Newsp Star.
We do but little with what we have.
We are not turning our money to good end; we make but little provision for the future. The boys and girls are being trained, but many thousands of them are discouraged to prepare themselves for any service except the mental, and why should they, when the money of the black man is so divided until it is impossible to operate an institution that would employ a half dozen young men and women at decent emolition. We have millions of dollars in the bank, we can't be compartmented for that, but this money should be put to exchange put to business that the same members may be forced to help and more importantly, their such as would give them support and assistance of doing business anywhere.

California Pedagogue Asserts That Modern Universities Breed More Laziness Than Learning — Correct English Unknown to 75 Per Cent. of Graduates
SAN FRANCISCO—Branding modern universities as institutions of laziness "rather than of learning," and expressing the belief that the salvation of the nation lies in the hands of young men who "cannot go to a college or university." Dr. J. B. Finley, former University of California professor, called for Mexico City today to become Dean of English in the university there. He is a Harvard graduate and received a degree at the University of Edinburgh.
Universities of today turn out 76 per cent of their graduates unable to speak and write the English language correctly. Dr. Finley said, chustsing the American youth who seek a university career because he does not want to work. He added:
"We do not want a race of molly-ended. The manure shop is not the place where men are bred. I would rather trust the fate of the nation to a genuine roughneck than to a high-brow.

"What. Is the remedy? We never shall give up our colleges and universities. Limit the opportunities to those who are seriously in quest of knowledge.

THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1931
Subject: The Measure of Nation's Text: "All nations before Him are as nothing." Isa. 46:17.
Nations, like individuals, are tested, proved and measured. Their bounds are fixed, their destinies directed and their affairs guided. While this is a fact well known, still it does not keep nations from protruding their selfishness. For nations are but aggregations of individuals properly organized, disciplined and controlled by some system. It is, therefore, provaler that if the ideals of a nation are low the reflex life of that nation is correspondingly low. God, the embodiment of good and all things right and just, is both cognizant and conscious of each nation and its afna [rs.
He has declared through one of His inward sons "That righteousness exalts a nation and sin is a reproach to any people." In spite of this, warning many-nations oppress the weak, and exploit the poor. Yes, more than this: they subjugate and despair the peoples of many countries, where only the remnants of a nation are to be found in large and many clans or tribes. On how long such exploitation and wrong shall continue depends the light that will come to the people as well as the ability of that people to forget their clanish differences and follow the leadership of one instead of many.
It is here that God planted 'in' the breast of Mariesa Garvoy a seed that will grow until the world shall realize and know that Africa shall be a nation and home of black men. I know and you know that it is now the home of many nations, each of which is there in the name of God, but each selfishly advancing its material grasp on provinces acquired through fairs and other means. Each nation is long and loud in pretence and promise. Each seems to be unmindful that God is in all and that naught of good exists without Him. Therefore their acts are numbered, their careers marked and their destinies fixed.
As sure as the heavens are above us, so sure is the pendulum of time swirling in the direction of justice and equity. When the work of enlightenment has been fully accomplished, when the doctrines of the U. N. I. A. have been fully broadcast, throughout the world, God will decree the things prophesied and declared by His servant and martyr—Garvey. Yea, our Father, God, will bring his dream to pass, because nations are as nothing before Him. That is to say, their material power, strong and mighty as it is, will give way to a stronger and mightier force. This force is now in the making. The brain of some individual of the now oppressed people is at work. And God now, like He has done in days of old, will assist this long-suffering people to become a first nation. Let us, therefore, put on righteousness, wear honesty and possess love for all things pure and high.
PRESENT CONDFIONS IN NIGERIA, AFRICA
Nigeria is a British colony on the west coast of Africa. It is situated on the River Niger. The population is 18,000,000 Europeans and natives, their occupations being mostly agriculture, fishing and weaving. As in any other British colony the chance for cultural education is favorable; this is especially true of its capital Lagos.
Tillage operations are simple. They are as primitive as those of Baliayan days. With the hujchet and long kifo usually spoken of by the natives as outlaws, the farmer sets out to cut the undergrowth of thickly covered forests, applies fire to it, and after the fire has died out dig holes in the burnt patch by means of a long stick and drops in his corn or beans, smooths the soil over, then, without any further labor works patiently for nature to bring plants to the ripening stage. This practice holds true of certain sections. In some other sections tillage operations are on a higher standard. Nevertheless even soil and making mounds for crops that standard is not to be recommended. Here the hoe is used for digging up the soil and making mounds for crops, corn, beans and yams. Planting is done by digging holes in the mounds made, dropping three to six seeds into the hole, and then smoothing it over. Inter-cultivation is practiced. Farmers go out at various intervals to chop down woods; the hoe is used for this purpose. Horses, though to be found in Nigeria, are not made use of in farming. The age of modern and scientific farming has not yet dawned there.—Southern Workman.
A Lamp That Burns 94% Air
A new oil lamp that gives an amazingly brilliant, soft, white light, even better than gas or electricity, has been tested by the American Airlines and found to be superior to 10 ordinary oil lamps. It burns without odor, smoke or noise—no pumping up, is simple, clean, safe. Burns 94% air and 6% common hydrogen (coal oil). O. W. Johnson, 645 N. Broad St. Philadelphia, is offering to send a lamp on 10 days' FREE trial, or even to give one FREE to the first user in each locality who will help him introduce it. Also ask him to explain how you can get the agency, and with out experiences or money make $300 to $800 per month.

LIBERIA SOLD TO FIRESTONE CROWD
berian will work for less than the Malays, who receive a shilling a day for labor on the British plantations. He said that there would be no openings for American Negroes, both because the rate of pay would not attract them and because the Liberians did not welcome black immigrants from America, although the Government and the civilised part of the country was originally founded by American Negroes escaped slaves and freedmen who were sent to Liberia by abolition societies.
The occasion for Mr. Firestone making his plans public yesterday was his visit to 'this city to see his son, Harvey S. Firestone, Jr., and Mrs. Firestone, Jr., off to Europe.
The son will open an office of the Plaintiffs Company in London, London is the business center of English rubber-producing activities, and Mr. Firestone Jr. intends to keep in close touch with rubber-growing affairs there and to take advantage of the experience of rubber-growing experts. Mr. Firestone said: "I have been very active recently in Akron getting together the organization and equipment for Liberia. The country is wholly undeveloped either agriculturally or industrially and my effort is naturally a pioneer one. It is my intenting to plant up as much land as quickly as it is physically and economically possible because all Government and other figures show there is a shortage of rubber now.
"White organizing for the Liberian enterprise I have also taken a lease on 35,000 acres of land in Mexico upon which there is located 350 acres of Mecca trees—the best rubber-producing tree known today—and several thousand acres of Castilla la Rubia rubber trees.
"I have been investigating in Mexico for two years and plan to carry forward an experiment upon this plantation. I sent two experienced planters to Mexico two years ago to look over this property, but they were forced to abandon any attempt at further investigation at that time because of a revolution. I now have two men in Mexico City organizing a force for this operation, and, if political and labor conditions will permit, expect to prove whether Mexico in a suitable place for rubber production."
Why Liberia Was Chosen
Asked why Liberia had been chosen for the development, Mr. Firestone said:
"When I first alerted on this my preferred Win for the Philippine islands, I preferred to go it under the American flag, and I sent three experienced rubber growers from the Malay Peninsula there to investigate. The Philippine islands have the soil and the climatic conditions and, I believe, have sufficient labor for such a plantation. But their land laws and
their governmental conditions made it impossible to go there and invest capital. In fact I don't think that the Philippine Islands at that time—two years ago—wanted us to come.
"When these investigators returned from the Philippines I sent two of them into Central America.
"The 35,000-acre rubber plantation was started. Then a revolution came and they had to go out through Guatemala. They went down through Central America. They found plenty of opportunity, for growing, rubber in Central America, but the labor conditions and the land laws were not favorable.
"Then I looked toward Liberia, where this country has a moral protectorate. If not a direct protectorate, the experts found conditions there in all respects favorable. The Liberian Government was well disposed toward the project and gave us the greatest concession of the kind ever made.
"American capital has always shied at the tropics and, preferred home investments. The British rubber growers have always laughed at the idea of Americans, entering that market, because of our attitude toward tropical investments. But I want it understood that this is wholly silly serious, and the first real American bid at growing our own rubber. We have to start at the bottom, plant the country and build everything we need, but conditions are highly favorable, and our labor cost will be 50 per cent less than in the Malay Peninsula."
"Doubta Florida Experiment Asked about the 300-acre experimental rubber plantation in Florida. Mr. Firestone said:
"I am not interested in that. That is an experiment of Mr. Edison's and Mr. Ford's. I can't see how it can be grown successfully there. In Liberia, we pay practically nothing for a million acres. The cost of the ground in Florida would be heavy, not considering taxes, labor and land laws."
Mr. Firestone said he was not impressed with the possibility of "milking rubber trees by machinery." In place of cheap labor, at present, one native tends about three acres of trees, keeping the sap or latex of the crude rubber running the year round, and no practical substitute for the native has yet been proposed.
Asked if Henry Ford was interested in the $100,000,000 investment, Mr. Firestone said:
"I don't want to say anything about that. This is the Firestone Plantations Company. I am not prepared as yet to say anything about the financing of it."

appeared in made by a special correspondent of the Morning Post. "There are two viewpoints," he says, from which the situation may be considered, the industrial and the political. As to the industrial, those who know conditions in tropical Africa are surprised to learn that the proportion will be one white man to every ten Africans. In such a proportion in utterly unknown in other West Coast enterprises. When it is stated that the proposed force of 30,000 Americans will very far exceed the total European population in the four British dependencies, Gambia, Sierra Leone, the Gold Coast and Nigeria, with the British mandate territories Togo and Cameroon added, this surprise will be better understood.
"Consideration of the political possibilities is even more interesting. It is not many years since the West Coast of Africa caused a serious international situation. If the present scheme is carried out on the scale proposed it is at least conceivable that a situation may arise which will need to be watched very carefully, by the European powers which are ultimately responsible for affinity in West-Africa, the most important of which are Great Britain and France.
If Rubber Were King
The following editorial, referring to the fact that Liberia, rushed in where the Philippines feared to tread, is reprinted from the New York Times, Oct. 16:
"The effect of rubber on international politics during the decade following the great war will some day furnish a subject for a Ph. D. thesis. Cotton and oil have each been crowned king," but the present world-wide signs point to rubber as their apparent. As the world's greatest users of automobiles, the American people are vitally concerned in an abundant supply of rubber. Some day, perhaps, non-rubber tires will be made to replace the present tubes and shoes. Till then this fluyering nation will insist on plenty of cheap tires.
Much has been made of the report that rubber could and would be raised in the Phillipine Islands. Two obstacles exist—the shortage of the right kind of labor and the legal restrictions against large holdings of lands by corporations. It is clear that the Phillipine Legislature does not want big, American corporations to develop large plantations. Yet it has taken a leaf out of the Congressional Record and voted free rubber seeds to Phillipines wishing to grow rubber trees. Now comes the great rubber project of the Firestone Company in Liberia. It is also said that attempts will be made to grow rubber in Louisiana and Florida. The advocates of honey grown
rubber, are probably a little over one inch, but it will be presumed that when that the Brandon rubber plant was introduced into the Alamy Boston and Save the Wisconsin prophet that the plan was deemed to fail. "Fortunately, there is no danger of an actual rubber shortage. It is promising to speculate about the diplomatic battles that would take place if the American people were deprived of their rubber supply. We have become an dependent on rubber that we take its unlimited availability for granted. Occasionally statistician of the sort who compile the billage of cigarettes laid end to end direct our attention to the horrible effects upon our daily life should, all sources of oil be dried up suddenly. Not only would the automobiles be stalled by the roadside, but all machines would stop for lack of lubricants and all industries be paralyzed. Small wonder that the United States, which uses more oil than any other country, is so solicitous about oil throughout the world. As with oil so with rubber. The people must keep their filtrors, moving. Who would ride on flat rims who could avoid it, even at the cost of an international incident?"

ANTILLA, CUBA
A very enjoyable day was spent by the members and friends of Antilla division on Sunday, September 27. This day witnessed the celebration of a all-iver tree function. The Banes, Cuieto and San Genozo division were represented by large crowds of friends, who are always glad and willing to respond to our divisions' call. The friends began to arrive from early morning in launches, and at 11 a.m. a large crowd arrived by train. From the railway station the crowd, accompanied by the Banes, panied the canoe and pushed its way cheerfully to Liberty Hall, where the visitors were cordially received. At 1 p. m. Liberty Hall was crowded with Negroes, who were to form a procession, which left Liberty Hall at 3.15 p. m. led by Major C. Goldbourne of the Banes division. Behind him followed, in succession the unfortuned men, the Black Cross maroon, the Motor Corps, the divisional officers of the various divisions in regiment, then the unfortuned. On far way the procession began in front of the municipal building, while the band played the Cuban national anthem. From there its pre-
ceded to the hall. The program began precisely at 1 p. m. The hall was packed to overfowling, with as many people outside as would fill it again. A short while after the commencement of the function entered, Sren. Alberto Abreu and Armando Leya, municipal delegates, escorted by Mr. Leonard Bryan, general secretary of the division. At this juncture the Cuban national anthem was justly sung, after which the gentlemen were introduced for the benefit of the Spanish-speaking friends. Response was made by Sr. Alberto Abreu, who congratulated the Negroes on the efforts they are making to rid themselves of oppression and ponage. He informed us that the local authorities are always disposed to stand by us legally. The evening's program was exceptionally well rendered. The friends of Banda left participants. Geoffronimo were left participants. Manifestation was manifested at the monster mass meeting, which was staged at 7:30 p. m. The religious rites were performed by Mr. C. Clark, chaplain of the Banda division, who proceeded an excellent sermon from the Book of Joshua, chapter 1, verse 6.

A very successful two weeks' bazaar was brought to a close last week by the ladies of Pittsburgh Division No. 61. The bazaar was given in aid of our Building Fund and netted us a handsome amount. Hundreds of young people visited the bazaar each night and danced to the strains of excellent music. Many visitors of the city visited Liberty Hall, and some of the students of the Fifth Avenue High School were shown around by the president. They were much interested in our race library and the splendid accommodations of Liberty Hall. Many new members joined during the bazaar and many more promised to attend our Sunday mass meeting.
A short talk on the aims and objects was given each night by the president. The Legions entertained with boxing exhibitions. The great success of this bazaar has inspired us to carry out a campaign to popularize Liberty Hall. Expense of appreciation for our hospitality are being received daily from visitors and friends.

DETROIT, MICH.
Detroit Division is yet being honored, by distinguished visitors and officers, from other divisions. The Hon. P. L. Murrows assistant secretary general of the Universal Negro Improvement. Association, was the guest and visitor of the Detroit Division on Sunday, October 11.
The meeting was opened by the first vice president, Hon. L. Spiffo, who also delivered the opening address. A short program was rendered as follows: Solo by the lady president, Mrs. Mary Massle; front page of the Negro World, was read by Hon. L. Ward; overture by band; splendid address and membership appeal was made by the executive secretary. Six new members were added to the division. Address by the gien. Duse Mohamad All, after which the president, Hon. Fred E. Johnson presented the principal speaker of the evening, Hon. Petelval L. Burrows, assistant secretary general of the Universal Negro Improvement Association.
Mr. Burrows' subject was "Loyalty." He said, "Let loyalty be the watchword. It is our only salvation. Why cease to be a loyal member?" Since the president general has been away from us, over sixty-seven divisions have been organized. The Universal Negro Improvement Association stands for the glory of Ethiopia. Loyalty is the pathway to redemption. Stand by it; defend it. Those who do, good good will follow them. Be wise therefore as serpents but harmless as doves. Whatever you sow you will reap. Are we going to sit by idly and do nothing to promote and help this program over? We should realize what wonderful things we have done. No other organization has brought together as many Negroes as the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Consider well these things. Loyalty first, loyalty last. Let nothing come between us and the U. N. L. A." The meeting closed with the singing of the National Anthem.

FLORIDA, CAM., CUBA
Our anniversary service took place on Sunday, September 27, in Liberty Hall. Long before the hour appointed to start the procession, people came from far and near, kally dressed in their best attire, gathered around the hall and at the nearby homes of friends anxiously waiting for the proceedings to start and to join in the parade which had been advertised some weeks before for public information.
The procession started precisely at 2:30 p. m. from Liberty Hall. The parade was headed by the chief officers of the division in a motor car: R. A. Marsh, the captain of the parade; Lady president and the matron of the Black Cross Nurses; D. E. Eswart, executive secretary; The Cuban band, under Senior Plinto, led the procession, followed by the Girl Guides in their uniforms and each girl carried a small flag of Ethiopia—the Red, the Black and the Green; next came the Black Cross nurses in their uniforms and bearing a stretcher.
The following mottoes were written in or printed in large letters and carried at intervals in the procession. "Long live the Republic of Cuba," "Gehovah Leadeth," "Long Live Marcus Garvey, the Negro Champion," "We Are, Coming Four Hundred Million Strongs," "The Blackman is the Father of Civilization," and many other mottoes in connection with the organization.
One incident we could not fail to mention was the amount of interest the Cuban police took in the marsh along the streets. As soon as the car with the chief officers came abreast of them, each one in turn, touched his cap in appreciation of our undertaking.
A few of them even went along with the crowd giving orders for the streets to be cleared. Every corner of the streets was crowded with earnest spectators, trying to get a glimpse of the moving mass of human beings as they mobily and slowly at the sound of the Crawl. Numerically, the whole proceeding would have been a grand success. If it had not been for the rains which prevented the full parade. Yet, in spite of the great backbacks by rains and other things, the undertaking made an impression sufficiently upon the public as to be looked upon as a day, long to be remembered in the history of this division in Florida. As customary, the member had taken their places on the rostrum, the meeting started by singing the opening ode "From Greenland's Ice Mountains," followed by the repetition of the 32nd Psalm and prayer by the chapalm. The 133rd Psalm was read for the occasion.
lent way gave a splendid address as a prelude, setting forth the object of this third anniversary. He also, introduced Mr. Miller as the representative from Camagua. The first speaker for the evening was Mr. Miller. He gave a splendid address setting forth the alma and objects of the U, N. P. A.
He further said for encouragement that as oscillating in opinion as many of the members are, in Camagüey there are still many real back-boned members who are still determined to slick to the organization and would die with it. He said that the work of nation building must be done solely by Negroes.
At this stage the offertory was taken by the nurses. Song by the choir, "O Clap Your Hands"; recitation, "The Bible Record"; Miss Ned Winter; address by Mr. S. Sammenbille, past master and representative of the Shepherd's Lodge, "The Rising Star of Florida," gave a fine address on "Faith Hope and Charity"; Mr. A.

RELATES HIS EXPERIENCES
p, or "Be Told"—Color Prejudice Absent, but American Dollars Have Some Effect—Living Cheap, Taxis Cheaper, and Wine Is to Frenchman as Water to Americans
(Written, for The Negro World).
By J. A. ROGERS
In this article I will tell of some of the French customs and how they differ from American ones.
Coming from a country where it is not legitimate to have a thirst, one of the things that has struck me most is the enormous quantity of wine that is consumed. A Frenchman takes wine with his meals as an American is supposed to take water, and in the cheaper restaurants if you do not order wine you are charged extra on your bill. Drinking with each meal is such a fixed custom in France that I enjoy the foes of "Demon Rum" will have a rather hard job trying to introduce prohibition.
Eating
One of the most difficult things to an American used to a hearty feed in the morning is the French breakfast

INTERNATIONAL RALLY FOR THE FINANCIAL AID
NATIONAL RALLY FOR THE FINAL
Universal Negro Improvement Association $50,000
Every loyal Negro should donate to the Fund to help the Greatest Negro Organization in the World.
Send us a Five-Dollar Contribution for this Fund.
All donations will be acknowledged in this paper, and donations of Five Dollars and more by letter.
The Parent Body, Universal Negro Improvement Association, now makes an appeal to its members, divisions, branches, chapters and friends to rally to its support in helping to raise Fifty Thousand Dollars for liquidating urgent demands on the Association for the promotion of its work.
The expense of running the Organization for the good of the race is tremendous. Expansion work must be done and current demands must be taken care of. The fight for African's redemption is a costly one, and must be borne by members of our race. We need money now more than ever to carry on the great organization Marcus Garvey founded for the redemption and salvation of the race. Everybody should help. If you can contribute $5.00 let us have it immediately. Those who can give us $10, $25 or $50 will be gratefully thanked for their patriotism and loyalty.
Persons sending us $25.00 or more should send us their photographs for insertion in this paper. All donations should be sent to 'Chancellor', Universal Negro Improvement Association, 88 West 139th Street, New York City.
which consists only of rolls and coffee.
It is difficult to get a substantial meal before 11:30. Unlike the American restaurants the French restaurants are open only about three hours around noon and about four hours in the evening. Food is about a third cheaper than in England and American, quality for quality. Many places serve an entire course, wine included, for four francs, or about 10 cents. But to eat in such places one must have a rather robust stomach.
Tipping is the custom in France and if you were to forget the waiter he'd pretty soon tell you about it.

taxi. The latter are even more numerous than in New York City and ever so much cheaper. Taxis in Paris are almost as cheap as street cars and four persons 'can ride from one end of the city to the other for about fifty cents.
The public conveyances all have first and second class. One can ride all over the Paris subway, second class for about two cents.
But when you get to your station you'd better open the subway door yourself of you will be carried by. The same holds true when you are getting on.
As was said the advocates of prohibition will find a virgin field to work in; so also will the advocates of Sunday closing on Sunday is a great business day here—many of the places close on Monday instead.
In the markets large heaps of snails are on sale. I are one for curiosity's sake. It was tough and rather tasteless, and have decided that no tar as snails and oysters are concerned the little dears can go on enjoying their lives.
Wine, brandy, cognac, and beer are very cheap. You can get a quart of good wine for about ten cents. It is certainly not comforting to my thirsty friends in the great American Sahara to say this, but the fact is that you can get a scooner of beer (or schope as it is called here) for three cents. Is it any wonder that almost every fifth person meets in Paris is an American?
Omelette Without Eggs
There is never a rule without an exception. You have heard the old saying: One easy make an omelette without breaking eggs. Well, it is all wrong. The other day I stopped at a restaurant and ordered two boiled eggs. Soon the waitress returned to say something about her having no boiled eggs, but that I could have an omelette. Well, I have found that when I don't quite understand the best way out is to say, "Oui." But when she had gone I reflected a bit. When the omelette came my curiosity at seeing it was about as far as I got with it.
Speaking Frege is more than a notion. You start out to say one thing and you finish by saying another. This matter of difference of language goes so deep that even the cats and dogs will not notice you if you call them in the English manner.
And speaking of cats I am reminded to say that a black cat running across your track is a lucky sign here. Thirteen is a lucky number with the French.
Another custom is that a dutyys levied on merchandise brought into the city of Paris. This is reminiscent of the time when the skates of the union had to pay duty to one another. A taxi driver leaving Paris had better get a ticket for the quantity of gas taken out. And if he inhales more than he fakes out he must pay the duty.
No Color Line
But to me, a Negro, the most striking thing in France is the attitude toward the Negro. Just reverse the Anglo-Saxon or, to be precise, "cracker- attitude" and you have it.
As I said in my last, one finds Negroes, black Negroes, employed everywhere. I have talked, with more than a score of French Negroes, prin-
Signify from the French West Indies and they tell me that the natives of those islands enjoy full equality with the Frenchman there.
In my last, I spoke of Bengla, the magnificent Senegalese at the Fales Bergere. I have since returned there and I have found that his contact with the white woman in his act has been cut to a minimum. One act has been entirely eliminated. I remarked on it to a Frenchman and he replied: "Great is American." One hears more English than French spoken at the Fales-Bergere. At one of the side-shows I imagined that I was back in New York-City. As I write I have before me a copy of Premier Polencare's warning to Americans to leave their color discriminations at home. Still they have money and are capable of doing a lot of mischief.
In the shop-windows on the Grand boulevards may be seen wax-models of real Negroes, men and women, kinky hair and all, dressed with the latest clothing as advertisements. This, it seems to me, is a little more than even the Negro at home, with his inferiority complex would do in his shop window. It is certainly no disguise to be black in France.
The star in many Persian shows are full-blooded Negroes. Some nights past I went to the Gaumont Palacé one of the finest cinemas I have ever been in. After the pictures there was an aerobatic feature in which the star was a clever little black boy. The arc wound up with a boxing contest between this little Negro and a white boy. As they pummed each other, I waited breathlessly to see which would be made to win. "The white boy, I said, surely. But to my aristonism, the black boy not only was made to knock out the white one but he knocked out two of the white men, then stood with one of his feet on the white boy, with arms folded on a conqueror. And the audience applauded.
In front of the Palace of the Troon-dero looking toward the Eiffel Tower among other statues are those of two African queens, thick hips and all. I remember that the figure representing Africa in front of Buckingham Palace, London, is a white girl.
I found not a little of color discrimination in London, but so far I have been unable to find the least trace of it here, that is, so far as the French are concerned. At present I am living in the Latin Quarter. Here one sees almost every race on earth. And all live peaceably. More than ever am I convinced that the statement that there is a God-ordained hostility between races is one of the biggest lies ever told.
I have met several friends from the States in the Latin Quarter. Amons them is Mr. Jean Joseph Adams, delegate from the U. N. I. A. to the League of Nations, where he has been doing some notable work for the race during the past two years. Through him I had the pleasure of meeting Rene Maran, famed author of Batonala, with whom I had a long talk.
If the long lost Randfontein gold reef has been discovered, as has been reported, it will result in a new rush to the Transvaal region and a further extension of South African railways. The country is filling up so rapidly that it has already been found necessary to build many connecting lines. The first sod of a two mile road from Durban was turned in 1860; now South Africa has nearly 12,000 miles in use, the second largest mileage in the world under a single management. Already, with 2.24 miles of railroad to every hundred square miles of territory, the Union in this respect outstretches Argentina with 1.08 and New South Wales with 1.72.
There has been an amazing growth in construction since the Boer war. Before that, the railways terminated abruptly at the frontiers of the Dutch republics, but the gold and diamond discoveries practically forced additional construction, just as they had been a cause of the conflict between the Dutch settlers and the English. After the Jameson raid lines were built ahead of settlement, and events have justified their construction. The Transvaal-population has grown from about 1,270,000 in 1904 to 2,100,000, and that of the Orange Free State from 387,000 to 623,000 in the same time.
The new branches and extensions now contemplated will serve farmers, particularly fruit growers, as well as mining-enterprise. A large region west of Pratotia is to be irrigated by the construction of a dam, and one-third of the land which is now owned by the Government is being cut into small holdings on which families of colonists are settling. Cultivation has already progressed fifty miles beyond the proposed rail head at Boostekraal, so that a further extension will soon be required. Thus the frontier of civilization is being rapidly pushed northward in South Africa.

The recent Interparliamentary Conference at Washington taught two international lessons to those concerned before concluding its visit to the United States.
First, the members of the Parliaments of forty nations who attended the conference and spent most of their time visiting privately with Americans say in chorus they were taught how far away Europe is from the minds of the American people.
Second, the friends of President Coolidge were taught by their dealings with the Interparliamentary Conference and they appear to have passed the lesson along (to him) how close the League of Nations is to the nations of Europe—it will not be discarded for the privilege of having the United States join in something similar with a different name.
So the parliamentarians of forty nations have gone home to their national Parliaments, declaring generally that Europe must, organize peace in its own territory first, as the United States has done for itself, before the United States can be attracted by any offer to join Europe in an international organization.
As for President Coolidge, it was announced officially for him only a few days ago that he has no intent of calling a new international peace conference like the first or second Hague Conference, because the League of Nations at present occupies that field.
His world. peace encounters thereby have, been limited to deciding how far he darms to go politically in associating with the League of Nations in the World Court and possibly in sending an ambassador instead of an unofficial observer to the League sessions in Geneva.
Neither of these two lessons was listed among the subjects of study of the Interparliamentary Conference. The parliamentarians learned about the American attitude to Europe by neglecting the sessions of their own conference and visiting in the country which made them so welcome that its Government paid, even their hotel bills and their meal checks. The friends of President Coolidge learned about the substantial position of the League of Nations by attempting to persuade the Interparliamentary Union to ask its official host, the President of the United States, to call another international peace conference. The proposal was rejected by the guests in council and never was discussed in the public sessions. "We cannot abandon the League of Na-

HON. MARCUS GARVEY STARTS FUND WITH $50
In a telegram to Sir William Sherrill in regard to the international rally for support for the parent Body, Hon. Marcus Garvey says: "I heartily endorse and support the effort to raise a fund of $50,000 for the work of the Association. I feel sure that the membership everywhere will rally to the call. I contribute gladly from my meagre means $50 to the fund. Best wishes for success."

tions," the leaders of the parliamentarians agreed.
The first-hand knowledge of the American attitude now being carried back to the Parliament's of forty nations and the first-hand knowledge of European attitude left behind by the departing Parliamentarians were only by-products of the visit of the interparliamentary Union to the United States.
In its formal operations, as provided in its by-laws, the annual interparliamentary Conference is a sort of traveling university lecture course, for the instruction of the members of Parliament of any nation who wish to learn something about international affairs. The conference is held in a different country each year. Membership is voluntary and attendance is unlimited. The only qualification is membership in some autonomous national Parliament.
According to Christian Lange, Executive Secretary, who arranges the studies of the Interparliamentary Union, "It preparea the leading men of tomorrow and elaborate the general ideas which must govern them."
NAMING OF NEGRO UPHELÕ
Georgia Choices of G. O. P. Committee man Approved in Washington.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 16.—Republican leaders here are pleased with the selection of Ben Davis, prominent Negro leader of Georgia, to succeed Henry Lincoln Johnson as national committeeman. Davis built up a prosperous insurance business in Atlanta and owns a newspaper. He has been a delegate to Republican national conventions every four years for two decades or longer and has served as the Georgia member of the committee on platform and resolutions.
An effort was made to have the President help bring about the election of a white man to succeed Johnson, but he would not touch the proposition. His advice was to let the Georgia Republicans work out their own plans and name the man.

HEALTH TOPICS
By DR. B. S. HERBEN of the New York Tuberculosis and Health Association Epilepsy (Continued)
In the more serious form of epilepsy "grand mal" there is apt to be preceding sign. The aura is generally very definite, but may be just a feeling of "heartburn." The aura may last a few minutes before the attack or or days.
Hippocrates, that preeminent physician of ancient Greece, described "grand mal" as follows: "The patient loses his strength and chokes, and foun issues from the mouth, the teeth are fixed, the hands contracted, the eyes distorted; he becomes insensible." Danger from incident in the attacks which cause a patient to lose consciousness is of course always present.
The moon and the seasons have no influence on the presence of epilepsy or the frequency of attacks. The 'seizures are more common in daytime than at night.
After the convulsion the patient may feel very much better than he did before the onset of it. Some of the patients, however, suffer from headaches and mental cloudiness for several days after; the appetite is either lost or made almost voracious; there may be constipation following the attack.
Irritability and disturbance of memory may be noticed in these patients. Sometimes there is a loss of power to concentrate or to carry out purposes. Other times, especially in children, mischievous increases after attacks. Actual loss of moral sense and a development of vicious tendencies may follow. Mental deterioration however, depends largely upon the factors underlying the real cause of epilepsy in the individual. Heredity again comes into direct play and is exceedingly important. The earlier and more violent the seizures and the poorer the heredity of the child the less favorable, mentally, is the outlook. Only a small percentage of the more serious cases become insane, but on the other hand true epilepsy rarely goes hand in hand with superior intellectual capacity. It is said by some authorities who have studied the matter, that Napoleon, Caesar, Peter the Great, and other geniuses "may have had symptomatic fits but not epilepsy."
Many cases of epilepsy, happily show a fairly normal mental condition which does not deteriorate with the years. Some very bright even precocious children show the "petit mal" of epilepsy. Later they may show mental peculiarities.

El informe que acaba de publicar-con-caracter oficial, el Departamento de Trabajo, graa complicaciones internacionales a los Estados Unidos" con los países latino-americanos y sera objeto de protestas. Tal informe fue preparado para el actual Secretario de Trabajo, Ravis, por Robert E. Foester. Profesor de Economía Politica en la Universidad de Princeton, en la Sección de Etnología, respecto a la immigration. "The Sun," de Washington, censura semejante panfleto por considerarlo injurioso para los países situados al Sur de los Estados Unidos. De ese extenso articulo son estos parrafos que ha trajudido uno de nuestros colaboradores.
Encaminados por el estrecho sendero hacia la redención de una patria—Unidos y determinados a evolucionar en una nueva era de libertad—Apelando al sentimiento de la raza para encarriarla hacia la prosperidad—La malicia y la envidia como el peor de nuestros males
Durante el transcurso en la vida cada raza y en la historia de cada nación, llega el momento en que debe tomarse una medida decisiva con el objeto de preservar el bienestar de aquella raza o de aquella nación. Este instante se ha presentado en la vida de nuestra raza, por cuyo motivo tocamos el, clarín de llamada para que nuestro elemento engrose las filas de unión y amor, con la esperanza de que a esta llamada respondan con todas las energias, con todo el anhelo, con toda la ambición que le caracteriza como pueblo pregestista.
"Dice Foester que los habitantes de la América latina, por sus caracteres racionales han contribuido em muy poco a las actuales condiciones de la civilización y recompienda, por tanto, al Departamento de Trabajo que la immigration procedente de esas Republicas se restrinja. Miensas no haya datos exactos sobre asunto no puede jamas tenerse como verdadero tal document que ha sido hecho publico, pues debe tenerse muy en cuenta que el comercio de la América latina con los Estados Unidos ha pasado de un billion de dollars en menos de un año... Los últimos Gobierno norteamerican han trabajado por conservar buenas relaciones de amistad con todos los países del Nur. En especial el panfleto se dirige a estudiar los habitantes de Méjico, y puede ser considerado por este país como, altamente injurioso a su nación, y tantas, cuanto actualmente las relaciones entre ese país y los Estados Unidos estan en circunstancias desfavorables. Miembros del Departamento de Comercio y del Gobierno Federal estan de estudiar, ni inquirieren si eran exactos los datos presentados y así prepararon el informe al Departamento de Comercio e hicieron un público un documento cuyáculación no puede servir para buenos fines. El folleto fue impreso hace dos semanas" en la imprenta del Gobierno Federal. Sabese que, desde cuando se trató de la distribución del panfleto, la circulación no fue obtenida por el Departamento de Trabajo, pero si puede conseguirse el folleto por medio de la Superintendencia de publicaciones de Washington, la cual puede suministrar cualquier otra publicación del Gobierno.
Notamos actualmente que el mundo entero se halla sometido a un estado de reorganización, en el cual cada grupo de la gran familia humana persigue la realización de su propia anhelo. La perspicacia de la edad en que vivimos nos ha traido como resultante una rivalidad entre las razas y entre las naciones, la cual ha de posibilitar solamente a aquellos grupos fuertemente organizados, para que supervivan en cualquier conflicto que se presente. Ental estado de intranquilidad, el negro es llamado para que tome la parte activa que le corresponde en la presente reorganización de los pueblos.
Como parte constituyente de la humanidad, corresponde a nuestra raza el decidir su adelanto o retroceso en el programa de competencia de las razas y de las naciones. Nuestra raza dependia en el pasado de la simpatia y de la caridad humana; en el presente tenemos que descartarnos de esos atributos y luchar por cuenta propia. El circulo de acción de las razas y de las naciones se estrecha de dia, en dia, todo lo cual nos demuestra que en muy poco tiempo los grupos debiles se veran obligados a ceder espacio a aquellos grupos que estén en disposición de magnener y defender el puesto, que por medios de sus esfuerzos hayan adquirido.
Preveyendo la calamidad de la exterminación, la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra se organiza universallymente con el gran propósito de con glomerar en un sólo cuerpo los millones de elementos de la raza y con un sólo ideal asegurar su existencia perpetua. Nuestra prédica es la sagrada doctrina de una raza emancipada y de una patria redimida, habiendo este sentimiento hecho su circuito alrededor del mundo; pero aun existen centenares entre nuestro elemento que no han tomado una medida decisiva y a los cuales hemos de ilustrar en el curso de los acontecimientos, pafa que realen el gran poder del esfuerzo unido.
El clamor de nuestra raza por un sitio adecuado, repercute en los ámbitos del planeta; su eco ha recorrido los puntos más remotos y vemos actualmente que hombres, razas y naciones estudian detenidamente la posibilidad de una nueva nacionalidad africana. Nuestro movimiento es el responsable por la operación de estos cambios; es la expresión del sentimiento de una raza progresista que se levanta sin temor, reusandoocularun puesto secundario en los asuntos de la humanidad, y estando determinada a luchar hasta elevarse al mas alto grado de civilización. Una y otra vez hemos sido conceptuados erroneamente por el hecho de defender la política de Africa para los africanos; este principio no ha sido exclusivo del negro, sino de los demás pueblos los cuales en su evolución de independencia han clamoreado también America para los americanos, Europa para los europeos, Asia para los asiáticos.
El titullo del folleto es: Los problemas de raza que se presentan en la inmigración procedente de la América latina e Indias Occidentales a los Estados Unidos. En la introducción estudio si es necesario investigar si la inmigración procedente de la América latina da una suficiente garantia para continuar aceptándola de mismos privilégios que han sido negados a otros pueblos. La conclusion es adversa. Hasta ahora sabese que el Departamento de Trabajo no ha hecho nada en el particular, pero si tiene a conseguir la restricción de la inmigración de todos esos países (latinos). En la tercera sección traz de los elementos raciales. Una valuation. Dice: "De los noventa millones de habitantes que pueblan a Mejico, América Central, Indias Occidentales (Antillas) y América del Sur, una fracción muy minima constituye los elementos raciales, que forman la raza blanca. Si de este cuadro sus traemos a la Argentina y el Uruguay, en los restantes hay una preponderante proporción de raza que pertenece a las llamadas de "color"; algunas son de sangre pura; otras ser de cruces; entre razas de color y blancos o entre diversas razas de color. Hay que descartar que la mayoría del Continente pertenece a la raza indigena; la raza negra está en el centro del Brasil y en Antillas, y una enorme proporción está formada, por razas orientales o mestizas."
Somos llamados al presente para evolucionar en nueva civilización y establecer firmemente una cultura propia. Existe aun la oportunidad para que nuestra raza contribuya independientemente al enaltecimiento humano, estando nuestra orgazancia. en la crencia de que oportunamente hemos de contribuir a la civilización contemporanea, como lo hizo nuestra raza en épocas pasadas y para gloria de nuestros antepasados. Los demas pueblos intentarán negarnos el crédito de nuestra contribución a la civilización de otras épocas, pero el gran libro de la historia cuyas páginas están aun intactas, demostrarán la veracidad de nuestros hechos.
El dominio y poder que nuestra raza poseía se ha desvanecido, pero en este siglo de luz y de progreso hemos de ver su reaparición en la reconstrucción de Africa. Una nueva civilización, una nueva cultura ha de surgir de las actividades progresistas de nuestro pueblo, el cual contará entre sus huestes seres con grandes conocimientos y mayores iniciativas, elevandonos de un estado de sumisión a la altura del dominio de aquello que por ley natural a la raza pertenece. Hemos de desmayar por nuestra condición actual, cuando en otras épocas en peores circumfancias disfrutabamos de todo privilegio perteneciente a todo ser humano?
Naturalmente, las conclusiones sobre la immigration son adversas para la América latina: En otro parrafe-dice el panfleto: "Por asignre, la población de los Estados Unidos es europa y blanca. Por sangre, la población de la América latina y de las Antillas es, o por asistita o africana, radas negra o cobriza. Miembros el Congreso tenga la ampiia fatilidad de legislar sobre el aumento de la población de los Estados Unidos, tomando ese aumento de cualquier parte, es natural, que no debe ociarse en las raimas negra y colombia. Amques es verdad que los inmigrantes de colombia pasan enojados a clorases puertas. Como inmigrantes, salud, etc., los inmigrantes europeos enojados a otros determinados de los humanos
Si nuestro activo presidente general, el honorable Marcus Garvey, ha iniciado este movimiento y por medio de un determinación ha puesto sus practicas sus ideas de solución, corresponde a la opinión pública el juzgar sus actitudes. Tales ideas estrenan exclusivamente en el programa y biotecnología, de la raza; por en su realización nos muestra visto interrupción por las dificultades diminazadas de la parte de elimentos por ancestros a otras razas, de parte de elimentos por ancestros a ancestros, influencados por el opinion multivalido de la escrima. Su actitud debe a elimentos de la escrima de aventes que han influencado el ancestro de ancestros que han influencado.
provenien de America. Ninguna limitación ha sido establecida a este respecto por el Congreso. Unicimiento existe la completa exclusión de la inmigración procedente de ciertos lugares; pero practica ha demostra do ser tan eficaz la restricción de la inmigración de algunos países po el sistema de cuota, que eso ha contribuido a la selección de los inmigrantes. Sin embargo, resulta que bajo la legislación existente, que es el fruto de mitos años, de estudio y de discussions, una gran proporción de la inmigración corriente no pertencea a la raza blanca y casos de esta clase no se habian registrado en la historia de la República."
En el informe hay observaciones acerca de la falta de civilización de esos pueblos de color o indios y los efectos que puede producir la infiltración de esas razas. Naturalmente, tanto el Gobierno Federal como el Departamento de Comercio estolentos, no por las conclusiones a que llega senjante informe, una vez que lo ha hecho público el Gobierno como un documento oficial, sino por las consecuencias que puede traer tal publicación en el comercio con la America latina. Sábese que este comercio ha llegado a cifras muy altas y esta clase de propaganda contra los latino-mericano puede dar resultados funesos en el desarrollo de ese comercio.
El comercio de los Estados Unidos con la América latina en el año fiscal que termino el 30 de junio de 1925 sobrepaso en científico gententa miliones de dólares al del año anterior, que fue de $2.053,246,442. Las exportaciones a la misma América latina fueron de $2.943,533,737. en comparación con $794,169,699 en el periodo anterior, obteniéndose un aumento de $130,000,000. Las importaciones de los Estados Unidos procedentes de cesos países, llegaron a $1,128,712,075 contra $1,087,433,106 en el año que concluvió el 30 de junio de 1924. Es decir, las compras aumentaron en $40,000,000, o sea 16 por 100. Las tres secciones de la América latina, Mejico y América Central. Sur América e Indias Occidentales nos compran mucho más que en los años anteriores. Nuestro mejor cliente fue Sur América, a donde enviamos el 39 por 100 de nuestros exportaciones a la América latina; las que llegaron a $360,000,000. El 37 por 100 se embARCó para las Antillas que representa $345,650,000; mientras que Mejico y la América Central, nos pagaron más de $217,000,000 por el 24 por 100 restante de nuestros exportaciones a cesos países.
Sábes por algunas fuentes oficinales que la publicación en México de algunos parrafos del panfleto que van dirigidos contra ese país, puede origen a un peligro retrosco de las relaciones de amistad que llevamos y pueden interrupirse por un periodo de largo tiempo. Lo mismo puede deduceir de lo que sucedera en un gran número de las Republicas que forman la Union Pan-Americana.

El doctor j. U. Giesis disertó el encuentre sobre el secreto de la vida, con el que aun han dado los científicos ni darán a menos que no cambien de rumbo, manifestaciones hechas ante la cuarta Convención Fisioterapica anual que se celebra en la ciudad de Chicago.
El origen de la vida debe buscarse en el estudio de la tisica, no en el de la biología ni en el de la química; dice el referido doctor. El german primitivo de la vida, no esta en el protozoario, pese a su nombre; hay que ir a.busearlo por vita de los coloideys a través de ellos, en la acción de los rayos actinicos. El motivo de que la alimentación simple coadjudante tanto a mantener la buena salud del sistema, esta precisamente en que irradian la luz del sol o su equivalente sintetico. El doctor basa sus assertos en recientes desubrimientos.
Cuando hay deficiencia de rayos solares肯 brillan en el estio, al hallarse el sol lo has aproximadamente directa a nuestras cabezas, las consecuencias son trastornos, en el desgrollo infantil y el bienestar del adulto. Esto ha venido a sabrese, dice, por un estudio de la luz, abriendo las puertas al conocimiento de laonda estacional *da* enfermedades caracterizadas por deficiencia que crecen y menguan en simpia con el aumento y disminución de la luz natural del sol. El aceite de bacalao e bieno para la salud porque lleva la culidad de la luz solar adentro del cuerpo. De la yema de huevo, leche desecada, asesites vegetales y otras sustancias, se sabe que positema misma propiedad de irradiar la luz solar.
De esa modo el cuerpo es un depósito de luz solar, y ciertos ahimantes que cambian abundan en ejes rayos, los acumulan en es depósito y lo integran más jam. En resumen, para al intimo ascendir del sacreto de la vida, el hombre de ciencia tendrá que remontar al sol. All encantará muchas indicios, quienes jam que son necesarios para solicitar el examen.

You will recall it stated in a previous installment that Tutu Kwamina, disgusted with the, stupidity and treachery of the British Governors and officials of the Gold Coast Colony, and wearier with their conceit and duplicity, had dispatched a friendly embassy to the British government about, a peaceable adjustment of the disrupted commercial relations between the two countries.
While awaiting the return of the embassy, Kwamina was made acquainted through the agency of his highly efficient secret service, of the hostile Governor Sir Charles McCarthy. To send an armed expedition into Australia.
Kwamina knew that if this expedition should cross the Prah, a bloody battle between them and the mobilized forces of his powerful allies, the kings of Jabbin, Mampon, Dankra and Kokofu would be inevitable. In his desire to avoid a widening of the breach, until he had exhausted all means for an amicable settlement, Kwamina called a council of his chiefs. It was decided to dispatch messengers immediately to Sir Charles McCarthy at the Const.
These messengers were instructed to warn Sir Charles of the grave consequences that must follow his perseverance. He sent the Ashtani Country, the Benghazi that did the deforestation of the Ashtani cemetery from London, the Ashtani monarch would meet him in a conference with the object of settling the differences then existing between the 16th governments.
Sir Charles refused to consider the Ashanti monarch's proposals. Instead, he accused the messengers of being spies, and declared that they had been sent to the Coast for the purpose of inducing the King of Elimina to join the Ashanti forces. They were arrested on that charge and held prisoners at the British fort. Sir Charles organized the organization of his position and the hope of crossing the Prah and taking the Ashanti army by surprise.
But Sir Charles had failed to take into account the fact that he was dealing with an anatole and very highly organized people, who had ample means at their disposal to learn of, and to frustrate his deeply laid schemes for the penetration of their country.
The time set for the departure of the expedition approached. Final preparations were made, and at multihull ships at the head of his gallant British fleet, he out of the fort and took the bush path leading into the Jacima highway. But unseen eyes had marked every movement of the white troops:
The leading-column had harmless entered the bush path when a garish light was seen to flash from the tops of the giant Odum and Bombax trees, that seemed like a nitid reflection from far-off bon-fires. As the light first wavered, then shot out impatiently on the blue-black African midnight air, far away a drum beat sounded. So far, it seemed to issue from the same black timnery wither, the reflected light had gone. Then, incredibly swift the sound verged till the throbbing was felt almost beneath the feet of anything column. Thus, it was, yet it seemed to mingle with the heartbeat, and to reverberate through tense, quivering nerves. Tok, tok, two sharp stunce heats. Then one longer, more vibrant note; followed by three sharp tok, tok, tok like the first. Whoever has heard the African drums at midnight, in jungle or bush, will never forget.
If Sir Charles McCarthy had only known the meaning of those drum-bears—and heeded; but he did not, And so he, took up his march again, while through one hundred miles of jungleland, swamp and bush the drum-bears, had been recorded, and the fate of gallant British army was sealed.
Long before the vanguard of Sir Charles McCarthy's white troops had crossed the Prah a column of picked Ashanti fighters from the Asuft cantonment moved silently through the streets of Coomaracle.
Under the brilliant leadership of the young Prince of Juabin the Ashanti army continued their march until they had reached the outskirts of the town of Esmacow. Here the command was given, and these indomitable black fighters proceeded to carry out a piece of masterly strategy that had since served to win for them many battles in the jungleland, and better equipped articles of Great Britain.
The Ashanti army left the open road and plunged into the dense bush. They then proceeded to cut a road parallelogram the highway they had left. So swiftly and alertly they worked that the advance column of the British army marched past their position without ever suspecting the presence of the enemy.
As the English army continued their march northward the left column of the Ashanti army proceeded to cut and widen a path diagonally from the left front. This was for the purpose of affording protection to the left bank of the front column. The left column took up a position in the path they had cut, while the right column, closing up, cut a path diagonally to the right, to protect the right bank. The rear column then spread out right and left banks, which movement brought them in direct living line with the unassuming British soldiers.
When this masseur was completed a military command was given and the whole column occupied their highly charged dune, given at close range among the matching ranks of the seasor. The column that had died now fell back in the postdust that had been lost.

by the right column, while the right and left columns tore through the in-tervening bush right into the open road, covered with the surpriSED Britishers.
The volleys from the real column had worked great havec among Sir Charles men. At the first sound of firing Sir Charles had given order to his hand to strike up "God Save the King," but he soon found that the Ashamitkai paid no more than a few cents. The armies were now engaged in a desperate and bloody fight.
The terrific struggle lasted about three hours. At the end of that time the whole British army that had left Cape Coast Castle a short while before, condescend of victory over the Ashanti, Sir Charles McCarthy and all his staff, with the exception of two men—Malory Ricketts and a Lieut. Jones—were completely annihilated. England had thus begun to learn in West Africa the things she has since been made acquainted with in South and Central Africa, Italy in East Africa, Spain and France in North Africa; that is, the Africans are clever, courageous and indomitable fighters when defending their home, their native institutions and their freedom.
DERELICTION OF DUTY IN NIEGRIA, AFRICA
Onitsha to Port Harcourt and Back Inside of Forty Hours
I have never before been impressed with the beauty of the tropics as when we had fully emerged into the clearing through which the lorry was to make its way. During several successive years, limbering had been in progress. The sawyers left behind them, from the gigantic orchids and managoy trees around, deeply rooted stumps that were many times larger than the average dining-table. In all directions lay smaller branches and heaps of scented bark. And here were some of an amazingly vivid coloration and incredible magnitude.
The "pirs" were now apparently some distance away. We saw nobody, but we could hear the rasp of at least one saw while we paused a moment to look about us. Like the tiers of a green arena, with the uncut giants rising in the background and with the felled and partially felled trees converging toward the central clearing, we were able to look upward at a blending of foliage that would have gladdened the eyes of any artist—golden brown, ripe chromes, vivid reds, abrill green and radiant blues.
"One feels quite cut off from the world here," breathed Harderace with a stitch. "Look, you chaps. In whatever direction we may face there is nothing to be seen but trees. The sky is framed by them, and one might believe that nothing outside this circle of peace and contentment existed or had ever existed."
Birds sang lubilantly from the branches, and from time to time an invisible monkey chattered.
"It certainly makes a man long for the open-air life." I concurred. "What a marvel it is to me that so few white men have taken up lumbering in the tropics as a career." They seem to leave that sort of enterprise almost wholly to the natives."
"Far too great a drain on the vitality," voted Gomersal. "there we haphazardly cut down the cool, diddly cool because of the trees that have been felled and removed." Imagine, however, entering a dense primeval forest and having to labor in the steamin' heat of rotting vegetation—an
ovin-like heat that is invivable - out of
alongest from the cleaning pamphlet
of wind, and rain. No wonder most
mahogany prospectors die early in their
career!
The lorry was now threading its way
among the stumps and branches, following a tortuous bush path, that had been trodden into being by natives of the Ibala villages near by.
"Tender is where we go into the un touched forest again," announced Geermall. "Fortunately the natives have a little farther on, made quite a descent road because of their need of carrying produce from this velitia either to Onishta or to Ogita. Once I have got you out of this entanglement of trees, we have to go on a road that runs nearly fifty miles without a break. There are, however, several cross-paths, so we shall be swinging nearly half the compass while getting back, oh to the Port Harcourt route. There still remains a risk of our getting lost."
His eyes twinkled, though he tried to look solemn.
"Oh, don't be an alarmist or a pesser," cried Hardace in mock despair. We are compelled to reach the coast. We are followed by another statement I am feel up to the back teeth with Nigeria, and I want by mother!"
Gomersall grinned cheerfully as he dodged the steering wheel to and fro in our inebriated progress around stumps and fallen billlets of timber. "We'll see you through, old son," he said assuringly. "Gomersall was never lost on a Saturday in his life—yet!" V.
A low, deep murmur arose on the air as we curved out of the clearing on to the open road. We were approaching a native market, and we saw the tiara his biggest trading plaza. I remembered then that the tiara tira had earned a distinctly unsavory reputation for cruelty—even for cannibalism!
One of all earliest memories—right back to 1904—is of my first arrival in Ontario, when I found the whole province seething with righteous indication. The medical office of the town, Mr. Stenard, had been foully murdered. I was taken to the hospital through that the popular M. O. was seized, tormented and fainthy killed.
It transpired afterward that the wild villagers were seeking Mr. M. Dougles, a political officer against whom they had a deep-seated and long-standing grievance for judicial severity. In any event the illiquid body of Dr. Stewart suffered unspeakable indignities. A hand, a foot, one of his eyes, his nose, an ear, a portion of his intestines—those were severally the surrounding villages as evidence of the valor of the Ihalan. A punitive expedition was sent to the anawrping network of villages in which these brutal savage lives there was a sigh of the villagers. They were shown no other man, woman and child were put to the award and the town was razed to the ground. Thus did the Ihalan pay bitterly for their rebellion against a patient administration.
But less than a dozen years ago they were almost as recalcitrant. Two engineers of the coal fields (one of them Miltanian the maker of the aplendid reid of which was named after him) were attacked, and narrowly escaped with their lives. The prosecution of Miltanian Schools took it looked upon as a pledge of progress—but the flulas remain a turbulent and stubborn po-
