Go Forth and Conquer
Fellow-Men of the Negro Race, Greeting:
As the Yuletide recedes let us take the joy and gladness which the season invoked into the daily round. Let us join hands and hearts and gladly and earnestly strive to make the Universal Negro Improvement Association echo the joy of life and living—make of it an irrepressible and indestructible instrument operating for the common good and happiness of Negroes everywhere.
In 1926 let spiritual uplift be your guiding star but do not lose sight of the constellation of material betterment and racial well-being. You must remember that we are living in an age of keen competition, nation rivalling nation, race rivalling race, individual rivalling individual in the great battle of the survival of the fittest. What are you going to do if you make no effort to survive, but go down in defeat and die in ignominious and unlamented death. There are too many Negroes in the world for this race to die igominiously.
We must live, yes, we shall live. In spite of all the persecution and opposition, in spite of chattel slavery, in spite of industrial slavery, in spite of social ostracism, in spite of educational limitations, we are bound to survive. Why, we are the second strongest race group in the world numerically. We have men in the North, in the South, in the East and in the West; we have men in the central parts of the world. We have made a circuit of the entire universe. We have the language of all races, of all nations; we know of the achievements of all races, of all nations; we have taken part in the accomplishments of all peoples; we have civilization at our fingers' end; we have been in the schools of adversity and have been in the schools of prosperity for the last 500 years. With a knowledge of the past, the present, and a true conception of the future, we must go forth and conquer for the glory of our race and for the freedom of Africa.
The man or woman who has no confidence in self is an unfortunate human being and is really a misfit in creation. God Almighty created each and every one of us for a place in the world and for the least of us to think that we were created only to be what we are and not what we can make ourselves is to impute an improper motive to the Creator for creating us. God Almighty created us all to be free. That the Negro Race became a race of slaves, was not the fault of God Almighty, was not the fault of the Divine Master—it was the fault of the race. Sloth, neglect, indifference, caused us to be slaves. Confidence, conviction, action, will cause us to be free men today. The question that confronts the world today is "Shall you live?" The answer is yes, or no. It is yes for those who have the will, it is yes for those who have the initiative, it is yes for those who have the confidence in themselves, and it is no for those who lack these qualities.

The prominence now being given to the discussion of race problems in the British press augurs well for the future relations between the white and colored races, especially as in most of these discussions. It is acknowledged that the colored peoples are not being treated with justice, as fellow human beings, by the white races. At any rate we cannot conceive that after the notice which this subject has received in recent times, the thoughtful among the white races will allow it to remain where it had been in the past. They, at all events, recognize that its solution is imperative and overdue. And it seems to us that we will do their best to arouse the members of their group to the realization of the danger involved in their continued attitude of race superiority and also to the necessity of applying an early solution to the problem in the interest of the future relations between black and white. Since we wrote on the subject last week, our attention has been drawn to a paragraph in the "Church Times" in which the writer indicates the only possible solution to this great problem. It appears that Sir Francis Younghuaub, a well known English administrator and explorer, had written to the London "Times" on what he regarded as "the dancer of talking of equality in an Empire like ours" and had stated that "we know that one man is better than another." Commenting on this letter, the "Church Times" after observing that all men are equal in the sight of their Maker, laid stress on the point that though "it is true that men are not equal in ability or in character in any more than that they are equal in size," and that though "it is quite certain that, there always must be leaders and led, commanders and commanded, generals and privates, the realization of ultimate equality in essentials will save the leader from arrogance and the led from humiliation. And it added that "while there can never be equality in achievement, there can be—and there ought to be—equality of opportunity."
This, we believe, is the key to the solution of race problems—the conceived of equal opportunity to all men irrespective of race or color. In our leading article last week we said much the same thing. We said that we admit the superiority of the white races in their scientific knowledge and inventions, and that their acquisition in this direction is not the cause of our resentment. We said that what we present is not the lofty position that they occupy in world affairs but their insistence upon monopolizing that position to themselves by locking the door of opportunity to the colored peoples to rise to their level. And it must be encouraging to our people to feel that an influential organ like the "Church Times" holds the same views and condemns the attitude of superiority assumed by the white races. What the colored races are clamoring for, and will continue to clamor for until justice is done to them, is equality of opportunity since they have faith in themselves that, given the opportunity, they are capable of rising to the heights now occupied by the white races. The colored races are not clamoring, equality in achievement with the white races, which would be a vain pretence, but the opportunity to achieve. This is manifestly a modest demand, but why has it not been conceded? The answer is that the white races have trained their minds to believe that colored peoples are inferior beings sent into this world to minister to their wants, and they have, therefore, set bounds to the aspirations of the latter and prescribed the limits of their advance. The result is that in every sphere of human activity the colored man has perforce to play the secondiddle, and, do what he can, he is always faced with the blind alley. But the tide of color has turned and is resisting with a force that cannot be
stayed. Colored peoples have made up their minds that they will not always remain in the position of hewers of wood and drawers of water for the white races, and will struggle for political and economic freedom will be carried on until they have had equality of opportunity in every sphere of human activity.
SANTA CLAUS VISITS MME C. J. WALKER'S EMPLOYES
INDIANAPOLIS, IA., Dec. 26.—The kiddies were not alone in having a visit from the good Saint Nicholas this year. On Christmas Eve cackle and everyone of the great Mme. C. J. Walker Manufacturing Company, from manager to errand boy, was informed that his or her heirs would be richer by at least $500 through an insurance policy taken out by the company, with the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company of Durham, N. C. These policies range from $500 to $8,000. The policies issued are whole-life, carrying loan, cash surrender and paid-up insurance features. They were written by Superintendent John L. Lewis of the Raleigh district, and are backed by assets of more than $2,000. Annual premiums on these policies will be paid for by the Mme. C. J. Walker Manufacturing Company.
Happy smiles light the faces of employees of the Walker company for their handsome gift from the spirit of Mine Walker and for the outlook for a prosperous 1926.
Pastors of New York City Churches Back Drive
For Philippine Children
NEW YORK, JAN. 3. Pastors of the city, cooperating with Governor General Leonard Wood of the Philippines, have designated, next Sunday as "Guardian Sunday." It was announced yesterday in the campaign to raise $2,000,000 for the American Guardian Association. This money will go for the care and education of Philippine children of mixed blood who have been neglected for a variety of reasons.
Bishop Manning has given assurance that the Episcopal churches of the diocese will cooperate, and Bishop Stirres of Long Island has made a similar pledge on behalf of the Episcopal churches of Long Island. Cardinal Haver has promised that the Roman Catholic churches throughout his jurisdiction will support the campaign.
The drive has the indulgence of practically every social and fraternal organization in the country. Among the prominent people who are lending their support are Vice-President Dawes, Chief Justice Taft, Major General James G. Harbord, Mrs. Oliver Harriman, General R. L. Bullard and Martin Egan. General Wood has appointed Mrs. Mary Frances Kern, with offices at 8 West Fortishtown, to handle the drive in this country. Mrs. Kern has recently returned from the Philippines, where she made a careful study of conditions among the children.

The picketing of Zaghlul's house by soldiers has only brought that aged statesman once more prominently before the public eye. If the tacit British opposition to Zaghlul, which appears to be the permissive condition under which Ziwar Pasha has disregarded the constitution, should be withdrawn, indications are that Zaghlul would be the choice of the country as its active leader—Current History Magazine.

450 Million Francs More to Prosecute Morocco Campaign —Abd el-Krim's Reported Peace Offer Is Refused in Chamber
PARIS, Dec. 30.—Abd el-Krim suffered a serious defeat in the Chamber of Deputies today when Premier Britain's rejection of the Riff chieftain's alleged peace overtures was supported and 450,000,000 francs were appropriated to carry on France's campaign in Morocco.
M. Britain, characterized Captain Gordon Canning the English Mussulman envissary who brought Krims' offer here, as a man who was looking for copper concessions granted by Krim, but not ratified by the Riffian people.
He landed Krum's overtures as insignes. Declaring, he was ready to make peace with the Rifflan people, but not with their tyrant, chieffleih. Ireland added he was not willing to contribute to the maneuver which had been set on foot.
Although opposition developed early from the Communist and Socialist sections of the Chamber, the Premier was able early tonight to have Moroccan credits voted by a show of hands.
Minister of War Palmelle made public official figures showing that France lost in the Riff campaign, from July 9 to November 8, when fighting virtually ceased, 750 officers and men killed or missing among the white contigents of the colonial army, and £550 from
Britain emphasized that France's new policy toward the Riff was one of peace to be pursued with the tribes without the idea of conquest. He clearly indicated France and Spain had reached an agreement to continue war until Krim capitulates. Documents exist, the Premier added, showing Krim's intention to continue war until proclaimed Sultan of Morocco.
The Premier's attitude toward Krim is based on the conviction of Paris that the chieftain will not be able much longer to carry on warfare. Spenlssion, to French rule by tribes formerly under Krim's yoke, he stated, had reached large numbers.
Methodists Discuss Haitian Affairs and
Make Recommendations
WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.—The Board of Home Missions of the Methodist Episcopal Church (white) at a recent meeting had under discussion the affairs of Haiti and the Dominican Republic and made the following specific recommendations: "(1) The former provision of the Haitian law forbidding foreigners to own farm lands should be restored. At the same time, care should be taken to safeguard the money invested by foreigners in Haitian land under the permission given by the American-written constitution of Haiti. (2) Instead of allowing easier foreclosure of mortgages on farm lands, as is contemplated, foreclosure should be made impossible upon farms that are needed by the working owners to support themselves and their families. (3) Other credit arrangements should be provided for, particularly through co-operative, credit unions. (4) Elementary and high school general education is one of the greatest needs at Haiti at the present time. All additions in agricultural and technical schools should be established upon what now exists, and what now exists should be vastly extended and improved. The present elementary schools in most instances could be used to teach agricultural and other technical arts to children. All of the work should be inspired by the purpose of making the Haitian an independent farmer with the personal sense of dignity and the strength of family life, which this begets. (5) The contemplated irrigation projects should be carried through soon." C. P. B.
Why Uncle Sam
America gets $15,000,000 worth of coconut oil. 90 per cent of the total it uses; $5,000,000 worth of 'copra (dried coconut), and $5,000,000 worth of tobacco from the Philippines. Copra goes into the 'making of gas masks. So 12,000 soldiers stand watch over the Philippines in the 'interests of Wall Street's business. Five, thousand of these are Americans, while 7,000 are native Filipinos degraded into becoming the flunkyks of the profit rule that oppresses their people.
Harlem Committee of the New York Tuberculosis and Health Association Provide a Kare Treat at Renaissance Theatre
It was the best time ever! Shrinks of laughter—the laughter of more than 600 happy children—resounded throughout the Renaissance Theatre, 7th avenue between 137th and 138th Streets, last Saturday, morning, when the boys and girls of Harlem were given their Christmas Party by the Harlem Tuberculosis Committee of the New York Tuberculosis and Health Association.
There were movies and musical entertainment and a marionette show and things, to eat and—it was a real party! Through the courtesy of Mr. Charity, the Renaissance Theatre was given over to Mr. Harlen Tuberopsis Committee for its Christmas celebration, And Mr. Charity's, Kindness' did not stop there—for he gave a special showing of "Peter Pan" for the children.
Everybody seemed so anxious to help! The orchestra, under the leadership of Mr. Vixon, was furnished by Junior High School No. 139. The members of Roy Scout Troop No. 776 served as ushers. Si Briant, of the New York Tuberculosis and Health Association, gave a delightful performance consisting of banjo playing, singing, ventriloquism and a health Punch and Judy Show—all dear to the hearts of children. Just to hear the excited youngsters talk about these health rules at the end of the performance on Saturday, was sufficient to confirm one in the belief that the children really appreciated and understood the "funny man's" health lesson.
Perhaps the best part of the party came when a half box of candy, Mr. Chrityt's further contribution, was given to each child, as well as big, rosy apples, tempting and luxurious, which were the gift of Dr. Wiley Wilson, Mr. James H. Hubert and Dr. G. C. Booth.
The thrill that comes from the taking of a flashlight picture, rousing cheers, the singing of health songs, and the party was over.
Six hundred boys and girls of Harlem are still smiling today over the recollection of that "best time ever."
$50,000 GIFT FOR NEGRO
HOSPITAL IN GREENSBORO
Offer Contingent Upon Public Maintenance—Another Gift of $10,000 for Equipment
GREENSBORO, N. C., Jan. 1.—Mrs. L. Richardson, of this city, has offered to donate $50,000 for the establishment here of a hospital for Negroes, contingent upon the city of Greensthoro and the County of Gulford providing maintenance. It is said that the city officials have agreed as to the city's share. The county board of commissioners will take the matter up at an early date. Mrs. Sternberger, of this city, gave ten thousand dollars for laboratory equipment. Negroes will raise ten thousand dollars for beds and other equipment.
Jury Race Barrier
Balks Extradition
PITTSBURGH, Jan. 2.—Refusing to return a man to a State "where members of his own race could not sit on a jury at his trial," Judge Drew today ordered Sandy Hussey, six, a Negro, released.
Police had been holding Hussey since December 5 at the request of the Governor of North Carolina, who sought to have him returned to Winston-Salem to answer charges of selling Iquor.
Dallas, Kirby, the Negro's attorney, told the court of the absence of Negroes on juries in the Carolina country.

CLAMOR SPREADS IN MISSISSIPPI OVER-OUTRAGES
Injury to Interests of State Seen in Lynching of Acquitted Negro —Cry for Justice Raised —Sheriff Fined, but Remains in Office
JACKSON, Miss., Dec. 22.—Judge William A. Alcorn, who has called a special session of the Cochoma County Grand Jury to investigate the Lynching Saturday night of Lindsey Coleman, who was seized by a mob and shot to death a few minutes after he was acquitted of murder, is deluged with toilegrams from all parts of the State urging him to see that the Grand Jury goes to the bottom of the matter and indict the guilty parties.
Thomas A. Ward, grand dragon of the Ku Klux Klan in Mississippi, who defended the Negro, and from whose custody the mob seized Coleman, expresses willingness to tell the Grand Jury all he knows, including the names of at least three assailants.
The League of Women Voters at Clarkside is ready to employ special counsel to aid in the prosecution, according to its president, Mrs. Earl Brewer, wife of a former Governor.
Ministers Ask Action
The following telegram was sent last night to Judge Aleon by the Jackson Ministerial Association, through its president, the Rev. Henry Felker Brooks:
"The Jackson Ministerial Association bids you godpeed in your efforts for justice in regard to Saturday's disgraceful occurrence, and prays that the name of our fair State may be saved; Do your best."
Fifty citizens of Jackson, including Bishop Theodore Dubost Bratton; Mrs. Henry L. Whitfield, wife of the Governor; President D. M. Key of Millisburg College; President G. T. Millisburg, of Bohaven College, and many lawyers and educators joined in the following telegram to the Clarksdale League of Women Voters;
"We approve your stand and rejoice that Cagbama women are active for the right. This great outrage has received the condemnation of all right-thinking and justice-loving Mississippiians. We hope you will have the conduct of the Sheriff fully investigated, and if guilty demand his resignation, and see that all guilty parties are punished."
A similar message was sent by the same group to Judge Alcorn, concluding:
"Mississippi is on trial before the world and this great stain must be removed. God give you courage and inspiration."
Call for Justice
L. J. Folz, manager of the State Board of Development, chief commercial organization in the State, sent the following message to Judge Alcorn:
"This board during the four years of its existence has done its utmost to present Mississippi's opportunities to the world. The outrage committed against all our citizens fortifies those outside in their propaganda against the State. Our people stand eternally for the right and adhere always to justice. We hope you and the Grand Jury, by prompt action, will have no doubt in the mind of any one that Mississippi are worthy of their heritage, and that justice in this case will be meted out."
Francis M. Harmen, State President of the Young Men's Christian Association, sent the following:
"As a lawyer and citizen I greatly deplore the outrageous lynching of an acquitted man and respectfully urge that everything possible be done to bring the culprits to justice and vindicate the majesty of the law."
Gov. Whitfield has received numerous telegrams from over the State urging the summary removal from office of Sheriff S. W. Glass.
The Governor is without legal power to remove a Sheriff. Many telegrams from members of the bar suggest the Governor demand Glass resignation, while others urge him to ask the Legislature, which meets here in January, to empower the Governor to remove a Sheriff or other law officer flagrantly falling to protect a prisoner from mob violence.
Clarksdale, Misa, Janr 1—Dr. W. E. Glass, sheriff of Coahoma County, pleaded guilty to "failure to return an offender" and was fined $500 today. He was not removed from office. A charge of failure to perform his duty is pending against him. Sheriff Glass was indicted by a special grand jury which investigated the lynching of Lindsey Coleman, Negro, who was taken by a mob immediately after he had been acquitted of murder.
PILFERING PLANS BRAZENLY BARED AS WHITES HASTEN TO SETTLE IN SOUTH AFRICA IN LARGE NUMBERS TO COMBAT PERIL OF "GOING BLACK"

MILLIONS BEING SPENT TO MAKE AFRICANDERS OF ENGLISHMEN
One Hundred Acres for Each Settler to Be Worked Under Supervision of Experts—Cattle and Meat to Take Place of Gold and Diamonds Lure
London.—The days of pioneering in South Africa are not over, writes the Cape Town correspondent of the Times. With the empire, facing the vital problem, of redistributing its population, they may be said to have only just begun. In the nineteenth century it was the settler who wanted South Africa. He landed upon the barren beach of Algoa Bay and built the foundations of many townships in the eastern provinces; with Rhodes as his guiding star, he trekked beyond the Limpopo and claimed for his own the whole of Zambia.
In the twentieth century the positions are reversed: it is South Africa that wants the settler. She needs him, not primarily because she sympathizes with an overcrowded, industrially tormented England—it would be a mistake to credit her with too broad a spirit of generosity—but because she is in the peril of facing a fox generations hence unless the pioneers can be found who will emulate the hard activities of the 1820 settlers or the northern voortrekkers.
The men who in April, 1820, turned their backs on England and aided for the Cape numbered fewer than 4,000, but it may be doubted whether any party of emigrants ever proved more worthy of their homeland or left a greater impression upon the country of their adoption. They were selected from a much larger number of farmers, artisans, laborers and tradepeople who had been hit by the distress which followed the Napoleonic wars.
For every actual emigrant there were ten volunteers. Their plight can be readily understood by the England of today. Their success, too, can be repeated by the England of today. Some of them had means, experience and apprentices of their own and paid their own ocean passage money, but the Parliament of the period granted £50,000 to defray the cost of sending out the majority. Substantial plots of ground were mapped out for them in the pleasant region of the Great Fish River valley and for a time rations were provided for families who felt the pinch.
The British Stock
At first they mostly felt the pinch. They were pilonsers. They had to fight desperately against foo and stallure—tribesmen crest in and stolen their live stock, floods washed away their allotments and rondavels, crops were destroyed by rust. Their area had to serve as a bullet against the Gallas. But, in the course of years they throw so far as to have established the prosperity of Grahamstown and Port Elizabeth and given those lonely military strongholds on the Kaffarian frontier a homey English aspect which a century of expansion has only served to enhance; and they, founded on the smiling slopes villages which we know and admire as Queenstown, Bedford, King William's Town, and the eastern seaports, which toast the throne, fly the imperial flag, and still think affectionately of London fogs when they converse of home.
The success of that ancient settlement scheme can best be gauged when it is said, that the 3,600 emigrants whom it benefited were the progenitors of some 150,000 white people—the descendants of the original families, planted in the areas above Algoa Bay, now number a tenth of the European population of South Africa. It is interesting to think what a difference a few thousand more of the same type would have made to the subsequent history of the dominion.
To their work and character three monuments have been erected—two in brick and stone. One is the simple campanile, which surmounts the harbor of Port Elizabeth, the second is a commemorative hospital at Grahamstown, in the districts where the first contingents lighted their watch-fires under spreading euphorbia and banks of gigantic aloes.
The third has taken the form of a fresh movement in favor of empire settlement, which is happily growing in momentum—the 1830 Memorial Settlement Association. That body relies upon volunteer effort and devotes its disinterested energies to the acquisition and old of emblem types of epigraphy. It has already transferred to South Africa more than 1,000 bpm, who have been placed with established詹蓉 in the Union for a pure application and helped to bring their ancient rights. The work done so far represents a total investment of approximately 11,000 bpm.
Together these four of the third group are of such size that they have brought them into the hands of the association.
have elected to return to England. A few others have gone lower to non-agricultural occupations in the country. The great remainder have purchased land and are launched upon life as South African farmers or are still under tuition with recognized husbandmen or at Government agricultural colleges. Men are at present going out at the rate of forty a month, and there are a certain number—perhaps a hundred in all—who are looking around before making up their minds where to settle. In the last few months certainly, according to local report, a more experienced and satisfactory type of emigrant has been going than ever before.
Training Farms Plan
Two training farms are in process of being established under the association. One is to be in the Cape province and one in the Northern Transvaal. Between them they will eventually turn out every year at least 200 irrigation and general farmers. The method of attracting the pupils which the two centers will accommodate should not differ in its essentials from that employed in the last five years. Each applicant is required to have a capital of £1,500 and a good character. By way of exception, would-be tenant farmers who have been reared in a rural atmosphere and already possess a knowledge of agriculture are required to take with them a capital of £800.
On training farms, which will be guaranteed against loss, land will be parcelled out to the newcomers in blocks of 100 acres each, which they will work under the supervision of experts against payment of 4.5 a month, to the board. No mahays will be engaged on the farms except as cooks, waiters and herdsmen, so that the mahays may learn and practice the whole business, of land cultivation from the bottom up.
In the Northern Transvaal training will be devoted to general farming as well as cotton; instruction in the Cape province will center chiefly in irrigation farming. It is not intended that the dependents of married settlers should live at the training farms during their period of tutelage. The farms will be situated within a (Continued on page 3)

WE FACE THE FUTURE
THE hour is big with sooth and sign, with errant men at war, While blood of alien, friend and foe, imbues the land afar, And we, with sable faces, pent, move with the vanguard line, Shod with the faith that Springtime keeps, and all the stars opine.
A FORWARD LOOK INTO THE OPENING YEAR
THERE is always something disquieting in looking backward over the way we have come, because we never feel that
we have got out of the past all that we should. Something has eluded us. Something has been denied us which we greatly desired, not because we did not strive faithfully and valiantly for it but simply because we could not grasp and hold it. It always had the substance and semblance of a mirage—provoking, tantalizing, but always beckoning us on and holding out the hope that we should clutch and hold and own it, as ours for a possession. And as the years multiply, as the years come and go, we feel increasingly that we have missed something, that something we aspired to has eluded us, and this keeps on until the things we have missed in the dead years wear us down imperceptibly and we go out into the shadows, hoping against hope that what we have missed we shall find in the new and better life, "the substance of things not seen but hoped for," which is the essence of Faith.
And so we take a forward look into the opening year, weighing the hopes and disappointments, the joys and the sorrows, of the past year, with the buoyancy of youth, striving that we shall find in the living what escaped us in the dead. It is this attitude of the
mind that carries us forward, holding us up in the most trying experiences and enables us to get as much out of life as we do. It is the spirit opposite of despair, the thought that what will be will be, without effort on our part that it shall be as we will. The social organism is held together and kept going forward in conquering the forces of nature to the uses of man by the high spirit of seeking and striving rather than despairing and trailing.
Frederick Douglass followed the North Star out of slavery and by heroic striving helped his race to obtain its freedom and carved his name on the monument of fame where it will remain forever. Marcus Garvey, dreaming of a united Negro race and a redeemed Africa, went about his work in such a way as to arouse the sleeping millions and to make a place for himself by the side of the great thinkers and reformers of the age. What Frederick Douglass accomplished any black boy can strive to accomplish. What Marcus Garvey planned and organized into a working force to arouse and enthuse millions of Negroes, any black boy can strive to do. In every avenue of thought and effort "the harvest is rich but the laborers are few." Those who see and grasp the opportunity take Shakespeare's tide at the flood and go on to fortune. They grasp the conditions in the present and measure results by works that live in the future, and mankind rises up and calls them blessed.
It is wisest not to look beyond the year in which we live, except to think and to labor; it is well always to look beyond into the future years, for the results of the thinking and the labor in the present year. The average person does not give much thought to the future and how he may shape it; he simply goes ahead seeking to shape his dreams into facts in his own life and that of his fellows with whom he has contacts of all sorts. Millions working in this way make for results that influence the destiny of the world, because the master thought moves them all in the same way and brings forth at the psychological moment the man who will embody the thought and give it voice or action, as the case may require. It was that way with Frederick Douglass in crusading for the abolition of slavery. It is that way with Marcus Garvey crusading for the unification of the Negro peoples of the world and the redemption of Africa. All of us can crusade for something grand and noble, and we may find that actuating purpose in the smallest as in the largest things necessary to be done. No chain is stronger than its weakest link; no race is weaker than its strongest man. The least among us may be, and prove himself to be, the greatest.
The members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and look backward over the past year with satisfaction, because they have "keep the camp fires" of the association "burning," and they can look forward to the present year because of the necessity to keep the work of the association in the high place it has reached and to go forward the good work towards "the consummation devoutly" we prayed."
remain the playthings of the strong and lawless who might desire them. It was this spirit of despair which has sent thousands of Negroes out of Mississippi in the past ten years into other and untried sections of the country.

Health Association
For some time there have been influences at work in the South and in Mississippi looking to the discrediting of the mob and lynch law, and it had a chance to assert itself recently when a mob at Clarksdale took Lindsay Coleman, who had just been acquitted, and lyched him while he was yet in the custody of the officers of the law. The lawless act provoked the wrath of Judge Alcorn, who demanded that the grand jury be convened to investigate it. To this demand the people of Mississippi responded with wonderful accord; including the governor of the State and his wife, and the wife of a former governor, a bishop of the church, chambers of commerce; and other influential bodies.

A wager had been made. Cleopatra had boasted that she could give Antony, a dinner that should cost ten million secretes, surpassing all others in its extravagance, and luxury. He had promised a kingdom to her, the land of Tyre and Sidon and Lebanon cedars and inestable treasures.
The night came. The palace banquet hall was lighted by torches and flames from silver tripods. The table was held with gold plate and the flowers of Egypt were gorgeously displayed. The guests were agile with anticipation which met with a check when the rulers entered. For Cleopatra, the magnificent, was more simply dressed than was customary. "Only her jewels attracted attention." She wore but two. They were two priceless pearls which hung from her ears on golden threads. Lorce, of perfect outline and exquisite color, these pearls won exclamations of wonder.
A prayer has gone up from the organized. Christian churches that we may have a lynchship year for 1926, but we shall not have it unless judges and grand juries and public opinion insist that law enforcing officers do their duty.
SOUTH AFRICAN WHITES CLAMOR FOR MORE WHITE SETTLERS
THE white rulers of South Africa, who are but a drop in the bucket to the vast millions of blacks in the country, have for some time been disturbed by the rising tide of native
for some time been disturbed by the rising tide of native discontent and organized protest against the oppressive and humiliating conditions imposed upon them. They appear to be more disturbed at this time than formerly, when Premier Jan Christian Smuts, in retiring from office, warned the whites that the natives no longer regarded them as "gods." The New York Sun has reproduced a long article from the London Times in which the need of white settlers in South Africa has become more urgent than ever, if the whites are going to continue to dominate and rule the natives. An organized effort is being made to get white settlers from the home country, some 1,300 men having been recruited at a cost of some $15,000,000.
But the thrill of any unsurpassed banquet was missing. The evening was not extraordinary and Antony chided the Queen for not having fulfilled her promise. She, then called her cup-bearer and told him to refill her golden wine 'cup. "When I have drunk this my wager will be, won," she said, and to the horror of everyone she housed 'one of the pearls and dropped it into the foaming wine where in a moment it had dissolved. "Slowly she drained the cup and ordered it filled yet again, and began to loosen the other. Now incomparable, pearl. Antony seized her hand crying that he admitted his defeat, and entracting her to spare her jewel. Years later when fortune turned against them and this beautiful woman had lost her kingdom, and Antony was dead, she let a shake poison her and Octavius the conqueror found that "other pearl" lying like a tear on her breast.
The tendency among the white English and Dutch settlers of South Africa appears to be to negative as far as possible the native as a man and to regard him only as a working machine, to be owned and operated legally by the white rulers of the land. The tendency has grown, but it has met unexpected opposition from the natives, who have organized and are making themselves felt and heard, through the National African Congress and its organ, The African World, and other native organizations. The principles and the slogan of the Universal Negro Improvement Association have taken deep root among the natives of Africa, and the good work is being systematically spread abroad among the natives, not only in South Africa but in the outlying territories, so that the awakening is becoming general, and so alarms the white rulers of the land that they are clamoring for reinforcements from the homeland. And they do not seem to be getting what they want in any very great numbers.
What do we win when we drink what we drink and eat what we eat? We win life or death. Not kingdom famous for oriental carpets, jewels, and carved woods, but time to study and enjoy such beauties as we are capable of appreciating. We win not cities but maturity with which to create other lives, and homes and all the gracious influences, which makes this world a goodly place. We win our happiness as all those two whose love story has survived the centuries and if we are wise we win three quarters or more of a century before we lay us down with eyes forever closed.
Africa for the Africans! That is the slogan, and it is beginning to be preached and heard all over the Continent of Africa; and the white usurpers and oppressors of the natives are beginning to hear it and to be afraid. The native African has begun to stretch forth his hand.
Who shall say that that which we eat and drink is of less worth than the priceless heart of the Egyptians? What do you do? Drink the wines containing the treasures of this world? Or do you submit to poloning?
WILL THE JEW SURVIVE AS JEW IN AMERICA?
THE-Jew discovered America and he has done much as any other group of the citizenship to make the country what it
other group of the citizenship to make the country what it is; but what belongs to him has been disputed, and is being disputed, as it has been and is being done in the case of the American Negro. Both races, the Jew and the Negro, have to prove their claims to past service and fight all of the time for a square deal in the thought and effort of the nation. Both races appear to thrive on denial and persecution and get what they are entitled to, in dribble-installments, perhaps. But here a little and there a little as we go along sometimes so reduces an obligation as to work cancellation of it. And the Negro, like the Jew, everywhere, keeps on a-coming, keeps on making himself seen and heard and felt in the thought and effort of his times.
FINDS NEGRO RATE OF INSANITY
Innity is more prevalent among Negroes than whites in this country, according to Dr. Horatio M. Pollack, statistician of the State Hospital Commission at Albany. Dr. Pollack bases his conclusions upon a study of unpublished data, derived from the special census of institutions for mental disease taken by the Federal Census Bureau in 1923 and from statistical records of the commission.
The future of the Jew in America was discussed recently by various speakers at the second of a series of "plain talk" dinners given by the editors of the Menorah Journal, at the Jewish Centre, in New York. Henry Hurwitz, editor of the journal, told the diners:
Several factors contribute to the higher rate of mental disease among Negroes, according to Dr. Pollock's study. These are: First—The Negro race may be less stable than the white race.
"This Jew will not disappear. Individual Jews will cut their ancestral cord and be absorbed; but we are too numerous, too marked off as a group, too self-conscious, too much organized for melting away in a pot. There is the preservatory amber imposed on us by the anti-Semites, and there is the nobler preservative of an extraordinarily powerful will to survive as Jews, which will not let us disappear.
Second—Because Negroes live what Dr. Pollard terms a "marginal existence," it is probable that when mental disease occurs admission to an institution, if one is available, is resorted to more frequently than in the case of the whites.
Third—The Negroes in the North especially are city dwellers and are subjected to the stresses of city life, which many of them are unable to withstand.
"The question, then, is not whether the Jew shall survive but what sort of a Jew we should look forward to in America; what sort of a Jew we should strive to develop.
Fourth—The climate of the North brings an added stress to the Negro race which originally developed in warmer regions.
"To solve this problem we must apply our best intelligence honestly, fearlessly, co-operatively and without partisanship. We must endeavor to mobilize the total intellectual resources of American Jewry—its artists, its writers, its scholars, its thinkers—for this great task. The Jewish future in America depends on the mind power we generate; on the culture we can build; on the creative contributions we make."
Dr. Pollack found that, in respect to resident patients in hospitals Negro patients numbered 20,034, or 7.6 percent, of the total resident patients, and that the white patients numbered 244,968, or 92.2 percent, of the total. The rate of Negro resident patients is greater than that of white patients in thirty-seven of the forty-seven States for which data are given.
The Jew will survive and remain a Jew in America, says Editor Hurwitz, and he tells what, in the solving of the problem, the Jew in America must do. There is a tendency among a small section of the Jews in America and in Europe to break away from Jewish orthodoxy and to adapt themselves more and more to the Gentile civilization in which they live, but they are frowned upon by the vast body of the Jewish people, who believe in preserving the purity of the Jewish race and its traditions. How strong this sentiment is has been demonstrated in the recent outburst of wrath at the advanced position taken by Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, one of the most learned and useful of the Jews, in his statement that Jesus was a living man, a Jew and a prophet, and that the Jewish people must accept Him as such. The question has not been settled. Dr. Wise has shaken Jewry to its center, in which Editor Hurwitz says that he is anchored securely in faith and tradition.
Town Named for Lincoln Before He Was Famous
Of the twenty-four cities in the United States which bear the name of Lincoln one city alone took the name during the lifetime of Abraham Lincoln and when he knew no fame, historians at Lincoln, Th., say. He christened that city with two watermelons, says the Detroit News.
When the railroad which later became the Chicago & Alton, was laid through Illinois in 1852 Robert Latham, Virgil Hickox and John D. Gillett, all famous pioneers, purohased a section of land adjacent to the railroad right of way as a prospective town site and county seat. They were perennial friends of Lincoln, who was a traveling circuit lawyer. He was their legal advisor in the location of the proposed town. In Lincoln's office in Springfield on August 24, 1853, the stenographer disclosed a name for the proposed town.
The question naturally arises, will the Negro survive as a Negro in America? Much the same rule applies to him and his problems in America as apply to the Jew, and the answer to the one should be in some sort an answer to the other. But with both races there will always, perhaps, be an honest difference of opinion, some holding that the race cannot maintain its purity and develop its fullest freedom in America while others hold that the reverse is true. Meanwhile we adhere to the principle that the race cannot preserve its purity and develop to the full in contact with the white race in America and that the greatest good to the greatest number will come via a country and nation of our own.

Morocco No Place for American Free Lances
Three Americans who fought in the French airplane service against the Riff tribesmen are back home, but although their countrymen may be glad they escaped unarmed the young men need not expect a chorus of cheers for their exploits. Whatever the merits of Abd-el-Krim's quarrel with France, most Americans will remember that his tribesmen were fighting on their own soil and for their own ideals of liberty.
Many Americans also will find it hard to understand how descendants of our own patriotic sires can have forgotten with what resentment their ancestors looked upon the employment of foreign mercenaries by England in the Revolutionary War. The Hessian soldier at least could say he did not voluntarily draw his sword against American liberty, for he was compelled to serve by those who sold his service. Statements attributed to the returned aviators indicate that the work required of them was not unduly perilous. "All they had to do was to fly above forces which had no airplanes of their own and no anti-aircraft guns. From high in the air, out of danger from rifle bullets, they had only to release bombs which would destroy whatever they fell upon.
Making duel allowance for the motives of the Americans—their esteem for France, their belief that it was to the advantage of European civilization for the French to win, their love for adventure—it is still difficult to find justification for their part in that grim business. Surely there were enough Frenchmen and Spaniards for such aviation service as the military needs of France and Spain required without a call for Americans to intervene.
OMAHA. Dec. 29.—George W. Creel, former correspondent for the Globe Trotter in Asia, and the South Sea Islander believed that "motion pictures and the glaring inconsistency of 'Christian nations' in waging ruthless war after stressing the commandment 'Thou shalt not kill,' have done more to retard the progress of Christianity among the non-Christian faces of the Orient and destroy their respect for the white man than any other cause." "After viewing American made motion pictures these people have come to look upon the United States as a country of glittering palaces inhabited by gayly dressed, pleasure loving men and women, who have some hidden motive in trying to force Christianity upon the heathen."
Another thing which he said the heathen mind could not comprehend is why "various factions of white men, all of whom advocate brotherly love, will enter into a war in which numbers are killed and each side claiming to have God on its side."

16 Known Lynchings, All Negroes, in 1925
The following statistics concerning lynchings for the past year were kindly supplied by the Records and Research Department of Tuskegee Institute:
There were 16 persons lynched In 1925. This number, ranking with the number 16 for 1924 as the smallest number of persons lynched, any year since records of lynchings have been kept, is 17 less than the number 33 for 1923, and 41 less than the number 57 for 1922. Two of the victims were insane. Three others had been formally released by the courts. Ten of the persons lynched were taken from the hands of the law, 2 from jails and 8 from officers of the law outside of jails. Two of those lynched were burned at the stake and one was put to death and body burned.
There were 39 instances in which officers of the law prevented lynchings' 7 of these were in Northern States and 32 in Southern States. In 9 of the cases, the prisoners were removed or the guards augmented or other precautions taken. In 13 other instances armed force was used to repel the would-be lynchers. In 3 instances during the year persons charged with being connected with lynching mobs were indicted. Of the 41 persons thus before the courts, 21 were sentenced; 5 suspended sentences; dependent on good behavior, of from 4 to 12 months on the road; 1 for 30 days in jail, and 15 of from 6 months on the road to 8 years in the penitentiary.
Of the 16 persons lynched all were Negroes. Six, or less than one-half of those put to death, were charged with rape or attempted rape. The offenses charged were: Murder; 6; rape; 4; attempted rape; 2; killing officer of the law; 2; attacking child; 1; insulting woman, 1.
The States in which lynchings occurred and the number in each State are as follows. Alabama 1; Arkansas; 1; Florida 2; Georgia 2; Louisiana 1; Mississippi 6; Missouri 1; Utah 1; Virginia 1.

NEGRO DELEGATE
FROM DINNER
Boycott Proposal Turned Down by Conference—Hardships to Negroes in Northern Universities Mentioned—Prejudice Excludes Them From Nearby Cafes
From the New York Times
EVANSTON, Ill. Jan. 1.—The final day of the Interdenominational Students Conference was given over by the 900 students representing twenty denominations and 176 colleges in the United States and Canda to summarize, discussions, and the adoption of resolutions and reports, the fruits of the four-day session.
During the discussion of the report of the Findings Committee on the Church and its attitude to racial discrimination, it was learned that a Negro delegate, C. G. Blooah, a Liberian graduate student in the University of Chicago, had been barred from a delegation dinner at a restaurant in Evanston near the church where the conference was held.
Mr. Bloosh had been invited by Treadwell, Smith of the Union Seminary delegation to meet others in the delegation at dinner. The Liberian told Mr. Smith that his admittance already has been refused at the restaurant where the dinner was to be held. Mr. Smith then went to the manager, while thirty students waited at the door, to ask him for permission to eat Mr. Bloosh, and the manager refused, saying that guests in the dining room would not stand for it. Several of the students proposed that the delegation and its guests boycott the restaurant. It was finally decided, however, to go on with the dinner. Mr. Smith, Mr. Bloosh and several others did not attend.
"Instead," Mr. Smith said, "we walked across town to a nice Negro restaurant, where we had a good dinner and

and interesting discussion on racial and international relations."
After hearing this, it was proposed that the Conference as a whole boycott the restaurants near the church. This proposal was turned down. At noon several hundred of the students walked across town and took their lunchon in Negro restaurants; while others persuaded Negroes to accompany them to one of the cafeterias named in the boycott proposal. On this occasion the Negroes were received.
It was said during the discussion that the question of Negro eating places at several Northern universities was a real problem for the students. Negro students at Columbia and Lifton Seminary in New York, a delegate declared, had to go half an hour's walk from their lectures to find restaurants that would receive them, because Amsterdam avenue and Broadway cafeterias would not admit them.
The conference adopted and approved a report calling for the abolition of military training in church and denominational schools and other colleges and universities, including the immediate abolition of compulsory military training in land grant institutions such as the State university.
During the discussion of this report 181 students placed themselves on record with a promise that they would refuse to participate in any manner in future war. Sixty-five said that they could not declare now that they would refuse service in war and 215 said that they were unable to decide on their stand. Several hundred refrained from recording themselves.
Reports on industrial relations advocating the laboratory method for church members in learning about industrial problems and a free pupil in the expression of opinion on labor matters were approved. During the afternoon several college fraternity members attacked the Greek letter college society system as undemocratic and unchristian. Following the discussion of war and militarism the conference voted to support entrance into the World Court and the League of Nations by the United States and to send copies of the resolution to Congress and the President. The conference adopted a resolution calling for a modified eugenics program in America, recommending the legalising of the dissemination of information on bio-control and the progressive elimination through segregation and sterilization of those who are by heredity mentally defective.
"We believe that industry organized on a competitive basis for profit's prolific cause of war, class hatred, poverty, crime and other social and economic evil's."
A resolution calling for the approval of the Dyer anti-lynching bill was adopted.
In discussions of the church and education, George E. McCracken of Princeton said that religious education in the colleges was a travesty, that it was neither religious nor educational. He declared further that the scientific principle in research in colleges was impossible today, that pressure was brought to bear on every teacher by vested interests from which

the colleges draw their support that made free inquiry impossible. Asserting that it was impossible to get information on religious education at Princeton, Dr. McCracken proposed, as a step toward free inquiry, the abolition of theological seminaries and the substitution for them of the education of religious workers in secular institutions.
Gordon Bigelow of Knon-Theological Seminary, in submitting the report of the commission studying the racial war and industrial problems, named the Klan, American Defense Society and National Security League as organizations that obstructed a solution of the racial and war prevention problems.
"The Klan," he said, "has gathered under its medieval trappings most of the morens, is peculiarly antagonistic to the religion of Jesus, and is a menace not only to America but to the entire world."
A delegation from Hamlin University, St. Paul, charged that by its attitude toward the birth control the Church was encouraging the reproduction of the unfit, and was evading the question because it was afraid. The conference approved a motion, which was referred to the Findings Committee, to withdraw a part of the support now being given to foreign missions and voted at toward stopping this source of "polluting the country with the mentality and physically unfit." The conference approved a motion suggesting the formation of a committee for the purpose of working out a plan for the unification of three great Protestant young people's organizations—the Christian Endeavor Society, the Epworth League and the Baptist Young People's Union. Another plan was approved for joining up these various Christian organizations in a definite cooperative scheme with the Federal Council of Churches.
Physician Says They Lessen Resistance to Germs
CHICAGO. Jan. 4.—Condemination of vaccines for the treatment of colds is expressed in a report made by Dr. Isaac A. Abt, who has just completed an investigation of colds and their causes in behalf of the Gorgas Memorial Institute. Dr. Abt says that vaccines "to say the least are of very doubtful value and not based on accurate or scientific knowledge." He says the blame for much of the cold epidemic to the luxuries the world now enjoys. "Though the luxuries," he says, "are not unmixed blessings, it is safe to say that these artificial protections have diminished the resistance of human being against colds. "Since we do not know the germ which causes the catarral cold, we cannot obtain a specific vaccine for the treatment of it."

Secretary General of U. N. I. A.
(Continued)
The movement of a people has had its wonderful growth because it adhered strictly to the policy of discounting indulgence and inertia in its members or in its arms and objects as executed by them in charge.
It is a fact that cannot be galssal nor denied, that zeat and enthush are powerful elements for gaining momentum. Sales managers and preachers recognize these elements, and because they do, as executives, they get results. Indolence and inertia are repelling forces. They disarm and disguity those who are even inclined to give them leeway in their lives.
Fatal . Indolence
Marcus Garvey, the founder of the U. N. L. A., knew that the state of inertia was fatal to the movement of a people, if all the people were induced to be uplifted. He knew that action and quick action were necessary. Then, too, he knew this action must come from within our own ranks, if it were to be of lasting benefit. For it is true that no man appreciates as much what is done for him as what he does for himself. The movement, therefore, grew because zeal and enthusiasm ever abounded. Every meeting represented well-directed action. Each meeting was carefully planned and calculated to bring some definite result. Governments and nations turned their eyes and ears toward Liberty Hall and waited with abated breath to see what was the next move of a determined people. Our deliberations were reed, watched and commented on in the inner councils of every nation interested in Africa.
Movement No Idle Dream
They felt and knew that our movement was no idle dream or whim of the brain; but it was the expression of a people who felt the call to nationhood and who had declared they were willing to support and stand by the founder of a movement, which knew no balking successful impediment.
Our zeal came, because of the consciousness in things effecting Africa and Africans. We knew the soul-urge awakened by the breachments of Garvey was a call to our true nature, and every black man, who is not a white man at heart, would respond to this urge.
It is true that many of us who are identified with the black race are not racially awakened.
This is natural, because everything has been done by those who have been responsible for our training to make us see things white and the value of being white or connected with those who are white. We were taught to feel and believe that no successful organization could be operated to advance our interests in America, Africa or elsewhere, without the aid, cooperation and guidance of some white per-

son or persons. We were told that our training would not permit single action or freedom from white supervision. But Garvey came and proved that black men could organize, adhere to black leadership and would continue to carry on, even in the event that the leader was taken away suddenly.
The Great Architect at Work
God is not mocked. He is ever mindful of all of its children. When He allowed our forbears to be forcibly taken from the shores of Africa and distributed in the islands of the Sea and in the Americas. He also sent white men to parcel out the borders of Africa and build up a civilization there. Now this arrangement equalized matters, as will be seen in the working out of His plans. For some days, we long the movement of a people will regalize its aims and objects. Black men and women will return to the shores of Africa on their own vessels, to greet their kindred in Africa. When that day comes, it will be of such moment as to warrant all Africa being interested, to the extent that millions in the interior of Africa will find it necessary and convenient to welcome their cousins, who are now domiciled in the western world.
There will be a glad hand-shaking within the borders of Africa, and somebody, who is not black, won't welcome them. They will have their heads or around, and about them.
Membership Will Carry On
God has so decreed and it will be carried out. Our membership shall carry on until that day arrives. We will not be found in a state of inertia or indulgence, but zeal and enthusiasm shall prompt our every action, until Africa shall be redeemed and God's equation in the affairs of all men shall be fully understood and appreciated by all nations. This zeal and enthusiasm sent Jesus, Paul and all great leaders of world forces out into the highway and hedges to labor, and bring things, to pass. We cannot hope to escape. Nagasht shall come to us by the policy of watching for thieves to turn up; but we must get out and get the thieves we desire ourselves.
POSTAL PENSION RISE
At a meeting of the New York Letter. Carriers Association at the Yorkville Casino on Sunday, Jan. 3, it was announced that an intensive campaign is to be made to increase pensions of letter carriers from $720 annually—the present figure—to $1,360. Under the new plan the pensions would be awarded after thirty years of service, as at present, but there would be no stipulation, as there is now, that the retiring carrier must be 65 years old.
Members were urged by Edward J. Gaiton, president of the National Association of Letter Carriers to support strongly the Station-Led-Loughtill watch is pending in Congress, and when provides the increases in pensions which the carriers desire. At present 21% percent is dedicated from workers' wages to provide for pensions. Mr. Gaiton said that should be increased to 32% percent to take care of the proposed pension rate.

Hampton and Tuskegee to Get Conditional; $2,000,-000 Put Up by Eastman —Donations from $1 Up to Rockefeller's Million
The hopes of Hampton and Tuskegee institutes were realized when it was announced the $5,000,000 endowment fund, upon which depends a gift of $2,000,000 offered by George Eastman, had been raised.
After a hard year's work by the Hampton-Tuskegee Endowment Fund Campaign Organization, the goal was attained and the result certified to Mr. Eastman three days before expiration of the time limit, December 31.
Clarence H. Kisely, Chairman of the Executive Committee in charge of the campaign, at No. 5 Malone Lane, said:
"The reasons given by Mr. Eastman for his great gift have appealed to the public and it has responded in the shape of more than 10,000 subscriptions to the fund, running from gifts of $1 each from some of the colored graduates of the institution to subscriptions of $250,000 each from five different individuals, topped off by a $1,000,000 gift from John D. Rockefeller, Jr. matching the $1,000,000 pledge with which the Technical Education Board inaugurated the campaign.
"The endowment fund campaign was undertaken by these, schools in order that their field of usefulness might be extended and their principals, Dr. Gregg and Dr. Moton, spared more time for necessary administrative work.
"Many well-known Southerners took an active part in making the Southern campaign a success and countless new friends were made for the cause of the Hampton-Tuskegee type of education. The alumni of the two schools raised in cash and pledges more than $200,000.
"The significance of this great increase in the endowment of these two unique institutions can hardly be overestimated. They have proved the most effective agency there is in putting our colored people in a position to demonstrate their capacity for good citizenship. They have turned our thousands of industrious, efficient workmen, trained teachers, leaders of their people in right living, in contributing to the welfare of the community and in winning the respect of their neighbors.
"The hope of the race lies in the wide extension of the influence and efficiency of these great schools and the multiplication of their graduates and off-shoots until they reach all the colored youth of the South and show the way to proper type of schooling for the colored youth everywhere, and the white youth as well."

THE NEWS AND VIEWS OF U.N.I.A. DIVISIONS
The activities of Chicago Division.
No. 23, during the holidays have been
very successful, the most notable
events were the Christmas tree, and
entertainment given by the Juvenile
Department, and the Christmas dinner
given by the Motor Corps. All
affairs were given at Liberty Hall.
The program rendered Sunday by the Legions, under the direction of Col. Leonidas McDonald was very interesting. Several of his congrades from the famous Illinois Eighth Infantry Regiment participated in the program. Col. McDonald's address constituted the closing number on the Legions program, after which he turned the gravel over to the president, Hon. W. A. Wallace. After a few brief remarks, Mr. Wallace presented First Vice-President, Hon. Issue Walker in a brief address. Next was the reading of the president general's Christmas address from the columns of The Negro World by the executive secretary, Mr. F. B. Knox.
Then followed brief addresses by various members, touching on many subjects. Everybody expressed their regret at the failure of our being favored with the release of our beloved President General in time to be his post by Christmas. We are all hoping that he will be released in the near future.
On Tuesday evening Commissioner F. X. Questel of the states of Illinois and Kentucky made his official visit to our division. He was also, with us on Wednesday in our regular weekly meeting. He delivered a very splendid address. His subject was, "Why and How We Were Taken from Our Mother Land, Africa." Emphasis was placed upon the atrocious circumstances under which we were taken from our mother land; and carried to all parts of the earth by British slave traders, and how that our living in all parts of the world under various flags and influences was resulted in our being universally prejudiced against ourselves merely because one group might be living under a different government from the other.
We are all looking forward to the appearance of the great musical comedy and dance, "The Bon Ton Strutters," which will appear at the K. of P. Hall at 58 East 57th street, Tuesday evening, January 12, under the auspices of the Black Cross Nurses, E. B. KNOX, Reporter.

MARCUS GARVEY COMMITTEE
MAROUS GARVEY COMMITTEE
ON JUSTICE.
The Gary Division is in a prosperous condition in every way. The auxiliaries are working splendidly and especially the Black Cross Nurses and Willing Workers Club. Before the hall was completed, the members worked zeeniously donating to the Building Fund, some giving, from one to many-one days of work on the building, while the Black Cross Nurses and Willing Workers, with the assistance of sleep friends, played well their parts, furnishing food for the men at, work on the building.
We were able to enter our building by Thanksgiving Day. Since entering our new building, the U. N. L. A. Tempo Star Land presented to the Division a piano, which was indeed a surprise as well as a much-needed gift. We have added upite a number of new members to our division and the division on the whole is taking on new life and each auxiliary is setting a new pace, with their entertainments, to help put the program over. We must mention our juvenile Band, which made its appearance a few Sundays ago. It rendered three or four time numbers, under the direction of their leader, Mr. Hz L. M. Gilbergy, and Mr. Andrew Pryor, manager.
Bishop J. D. Barber visited us and spoke in *Interest* of the release of our Leader, Hon. Marcos Garvey. We have spared no pain in getting signers for the petition and now we are planning a draw for a church to church campaign for Mr. Garvey's release. Our mass meetings are well attended and the meetings are enthusiastic throughout.

THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JANUARY 9, 1928
LAS MINAS, CUBA
This division was honored with a visit from the Hon. R. H. Bachelor, Commissioner for Cuba, on December 11 and 12. Mr. Bachelor's visit, was announced some time in advance, and a full house greeted his appearance. On the night of the commissioner's arrival, a meeting was held. It proved to be quite inspiring. Mr. Bachelor, whose energy can almost be felt at long range, never failed to keep the audience interested all through. Mr. Bachelor spoke very convincingly on the work of the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Co. in the interest of which he stated, he was, making an extended tour of the country lecturing and collecting funds. He suggested an impromptu concert on the following night, December 12, in interest of the work. All heartily agreed, and everything worked out successfully.
Garveyism is slowly but surely taking its hold on the Negroes in this community. One can see the old doubtful, pessimistic attitude losing, ground. Seventy-five per cent of the colored community here are Garveyites. The meetings are well attended on Sunday nights, and The Negro World is always in demand.
We pray for the greater vision, for sober-minded intelligence to accept our reverses as well as our successes with equal grace; that our people embrace with an open unprejudiced mind the basic principles that form the main spring of this movement, which expresses in no uncertain way the goal of all time Negroes—a free and redeemed Africa both at home and abroad.
BOCAS DEL TORO, R.P.
On Sunday night, December 22, our meeting commenced at 7:30 o'clock with the singing of the opening ode "From Greenwich Bay Mountain" followed with prayer by the chaplain, Mr. Charles Dottin, after which the battle hymn was sung, "God of the Right, Our Battles Fight." Chaplain Dottin took his text from the 14th Chapter of St. John. His address was very inspiring. After the religious service the meeting was handed over to the president, Rev. R. X. Whittaker, who complimented Chaplain Dottin very highly upon his address.
After delivering a short address on the work of the organization, the president presided, while the following program was rendered: Addresses by Mrs. Sarah E. Gordon, lady president, and Mossy, Frazier, Gordon and Hall; musical numbers by the whistle. The closing address was delivered by the president.
The newly purchased Liberty Hall, which is the property of the Bocas Del Toro Division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, will soon be completed. We will then launch our local program for the development of the division during the coming year. The division has had many odds to fight against during the past year, but in spite of all we are marching on to victory.
The work of the Bocas Division has been greatly helped by the periodic visits of the presidents and members of the Belle Vue and Shepherd Island Divisions who have given great assistance from time to time in carrying on the work of this division. Rev. R. N. Whitaker, our president, and Mrs. Sarah E. Gordon, lady president, have worked hand in hand with the loyal members in attaining the goal.

M. Clarke, opened the service with an address in which he pointed out that the only way to serve God aright is by doing our twofold duty—to God and to man. The chairman was then introduced in the person of Mr. A. T. McCharity, president, who honored the name of Garvey and asked that all stalk to the U.N.A.A. so that in the near future we may be able to give to the world and our children a mighty government strong enough to protect the Negroes.

INTERNATIONAL RALLY FOR THE FINANCIAL AID OF THE PARENT BODY
Universal Negro Improvement Association $50,000
Every loyal Negro should donate to the Fund to help the Greatest Negro Organization in the World.
All donations will be acknowledged in this paper, and donations of First 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 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 $30 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 Chandler, Universal Negro Improvement Association, 86 West 130th Street, New York City.

Humble Peanut Extolled In U. S. Official Film
How the humble peanut is closely allied with American history is told in the United States Department of Agriculture educational film, "Peanuts $30,000,000 Worth."
This vegetable, which is not actually a nut, but a ground pea, is a native South American plant and found its way to North America by way of Africa as food for prisoners on board slave ships in early Colonial days. Up to the time of the war between the States the plant was neglected by the Southern planters and was grown mainly in small patches by the slaves.
During the war Union soldiers foraging for food came upon the "soapier pea" and found it palatable and nourishing. After Appamatttox many of the carried the pots home with them, and the peanut won immediate favor in the North, and its culture has undergone great development in the South.
Predicts 200-Year-Olds By End of the Century
Babies born in 2000 will have something like 200 years of life ahead of them, and men and women of 10 years will be quite the normal thing, in the opinion of Dr. Howard Hart, professor of sociology at Bryn Mawr. But, instead of being wrinkled and crippled, these contenders will be in their vigorous prime.
"The average length of life has increased from twenty-one years in 1550 to more than fifty years in 1510," said Dr. Hart, in a paper before the American Sociological Society yesterday.
"This rate will not only be maintained, but will be accelerated. Discoveries are being made faster all the time in the science of combating the maladies of later life, and there are no skins as yet of having used up the major possibilities in preventive medicine."

In world politics 1825 will always be remembered as a notable year on account of the Loewsor treaties, the importance of which is not merely that they constitute a voluntary peace which marks the real end of war, but also that they contain a solitary undertaking between age long omitted in Western Europe to refrain from war in the future and to settle disputes by peaceable means. Their corollary is the entry of Germany into the Loewsor of Germany which means that in 1825 a new and more normal balance of international power will come into effect in Europe and that the cause is likely to be occupied by big, possibly exhilibitions, plans for further conquest, reconstruction and solidarity in Europe—for example, a central European customs union and an agreement between the central banks to guarantee the chief European exchanges.
By comparison with the results obtained at Locarno the power-destitution of the Irish boundary dispute is a secondary matter. It represents however, the removal of a great anxiety. An offset to these gains in international politics is that the distended relations with Turkey over Mosul, continued disturbances in China and "little wars" in Syria and Morocco are all influences exacerbating a depressing effect upon commerce. On the whole, however, in international politics there is a substantial credit balance.
The Domestic Balance
In home politics the summing up is more gloomy. For the first time in years we have been spared an autumn general election and for this the country is thankful. But hope that the conservative Government would be better times has been disappointed. The scheme of pensions for widows and old persons over sixty-five is far

has not enhanced the Government's populist, for the benefits have not yet begun to accrue, and many persons (60%) of this added burden should be postponed until the country more definitely was on the high road to economic prosperity. _
On the other hand the Government's handling of the coal crisis of last July, which will probably cost the country $250,000,000, was a severe blow to its prestige. This seriously combined with the optimistic budgeting of last April means that for the first time in several years the national accounts at the end of the year certainly will show a defeat. The new projective duties will duge to nothing in taking the gap, for they are too small and unimpartant to do much more than consolidate and strengthen free trade opinion without creating any substantial body of temporary.
If, therefore, this survey had been written in the summer the yodel would have been that the government had not around very considerably. As The Lostest treaties and Ireland, unfortunately have done something to restore the balance, while Mr. Baldwin has also in his favor the weakness of the two opposition wings, of which the Labor, section still is so poorly disappointed at its failures of 1921, while the Liberals still are ferroring away what little strength they have in posed wringings.
The Gold Success
In the field of economics and finance the outstanding feature of 1825 was the return of Great Britain to the gold standard and the demonstration that we can stay there living in part to the good will of America. this operation, has been carried through with nothing worse than a bank rate in spite of the fact that in November the embargo on foreign loans in London was removed and all and sandry were permitted to come and raise capital here if their credit was good enough. Comparatively low prices for cotton and cotton on the one hand and the high rubber price on the other made it easier to hold the exchange, than would have been the case in 1824, and as money came due for short term investments we saw the unexpected phenomenon of a 4 percent bank rate two months in autumn, when the extense strain caused by paying for injections is normally at a maximum.
Since the restoration of the gold standard we have lost on balances £1,000,000 in gold in eight months. This is small when contrasted with the amount it was feared we might lose in as many days. The Bank of England has been criticized for its ability in this direction or in that, but on the whole the country is getting used to the new situation and already is beginning to benefit from the fact that we now meet the competition from other stable money countries like Belgium and Germany on our economic merits and are not liable to have our trade calculations upset by fluctuations in the exchanges.
Prices on World Parity
Some reduction on the general price level in Great Britain already had occurred.
curred before the gold standards was restored, but since April our prices have come more definitely into partly with world prices, partly through the rise in American prices and partly through the fall in British prices. In England retail prices and wages throughout the year have been steady, but wholesale prices have fallen 12 per cent, as compared with December, 1924. The fall is only a per cent an compared with the average for 1924. Thus the restoration of the gold standard is an accomplished fact and the initial difficulties have been successfully overcome, although there still may be some monetary troubles in store for us. We do not yet know what calls foreign borrowers may endeavor to make on our limited capital resources after the turn of the year, and if trade improves the demand on the London money market may possibly cause a further rise in the bank rate. There is, in fact, some reason for thinking that demands of industry will increase.
Taking 1925 as a whole there is little doubt that, if we exclude mining, production at the end was greatest than at the beginning of the year. Unemployment was slightly less and our export manufactures slightly greater. This improvement was, however, far more than offset by depression in the coal trade, which for the first time, was faced by the full competition of Germany and of the geo-constituted mines of France, developments in new coal fields overseas and the competition of oil and water power. The British coal industry consequently was under the progress of definitely restoring its export activities, and the readjustment is proving extremely painful.
Some Industries Gain
Among the manufacturing industries the depression in the iron and steel trade, which continued until late autumn, and in shipbuilding, which continues to date, has been balanced by activity in metal, electrical, engineering and other mechanical industries, by a smaller investment in the Lancashire cotton trade, and in a number of minor trades such as beads and shoes, jute and the clothing trades.
Indeed, there is nothing in the record of 1925, even in its last quarter, to inspire great optimism, but the discovery in the last port of the year that we can compete with the continent, that quality, still tells heavily in favor of British products, and that inflation at best can only temporarily help our foreign competitors, has had a tone effect upon British enterprise. This optimism remains restrained so long as it is uncertain what will happen when the vow truce comes to an end in May. The taxpayer certainly will not go on paying and one yet seems to know how to bridge the gap of two shillings, per ton between the present selling prices and cost of production. But in spite of this cloud there are clear evidences of increasing activity generally.
If the long delayed trade expansion should coincide with a brief demand for capital on the part of foreign borrowers and a continuance of the rubber boom, dearer money is to be expected in the spring. Our bankers have had a good year, thanks to increasing advances to industry at remunerative rates of interest. On the Stock Exchange the speculator has had plenty of opportunities, but cautious investors probably lost through the moderate depression in gift-edged securities and the sharp fall in British railway securities.
It has been a bad year for shipping, but a fairly good year for most kinds of commerce, insurance, etc.; and though Mr. Chuhnbill's budget will not balance, the annual accounts unquestionably will show that the assessments for income tax and supertax are higher than ever.
German Wives in Distress
As: British Soldiers Depart
BERLIN, Jan. 2.—Disillusion after living happily and in luxury during the occupation period, hundreds of German wives of British soldiers in the army of occupation are bidding farewell to their husband as the British evacuation of the Cologne zone proceeds.
More than 700 Tommies married German women during the last few years, about one in every ten. The majority obtained permission of superior officers for the marriages, and provision has been made for these families as the troops move to Wiesbaden or leave Germany.
Those who did not obtain permission are in difficulties.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 26. Babe Knets, whether dimpled or rusty, would be visited from the public size if Mrs. John R. Henderson, a prominent figure in entertaining Washington's diplomatic circle and the widow of a United States Senator from Missouri, had her way. Mrs. Henderson wants to put skirts down clear to the ankle.
Leading society women, says Mrs Henderson, sympathize with her in the movement to reform "vulgar fashion" of women's dress in this and other participants. She announced today the inauguration of a campaign to reform modern tendencies in the dress of what is sometimes called the "weaker sex" and stated that the movement had the support not only of well-known women in society here, but the daughters of the American Revolution, the National Federation of Women's Clubs and the National Congress of Parents, and Teachers. Such a movement would frown on cigarette smoking by women and would call on women everywhere to champion innocent strives.
Miss. Henderson said she had discussed the subject of reform in women's dress with, M. Collins, former Premier of France, during his recent visit here, and as a result of this she expressed confidence that the better elements of French life were in sympathy with more modest fashions and hats. The Washington society women who agreed with her views, Miss. Henderson said, had indulged the following resolution to be sent to newspapers in London and Paris.
"That we are deeply interested in the efforts of certain high dignitaries of church and schools who have in a longing to modify undesirable prevaricating fashions for women's apparel and have hopelessly bid the blame to mothers, calling upon them to come to the rescue; that we feel that they do not realize that Dame Fashion is a powerful potentate; that a large number of American girls now work for an independent living, and if shaded by helpless mothers concerning questions of fashions they simply recall such mothers as out of date and old fashioned.
"That the best women of France and England also, as here represented in their embassies, also by the royal family of England, do not follow fashions of women's apparel not in good taste, quite regardless of fashions which are dictated by the underworld of Paris.
"That we suggest for street wear dress skirts broader and of ankle length.
"That we call upon society women of America everywhere to bind together to condemn such vulgar fashions of women's apparel do not tend to cultivate imate modesty, good taste or good morals.
"That, in the interest of future public health and efficiency, we pray that the comparatively new fashion of cigarettes be abandoned. In that reserves from health capital, expended to save the living organism from pests of poison inevitably lead, sooner or later, to physical bankruptcy and race degeneracy.
"That women's colleges, whose mission it is to teach what best befits girls for future life, viz.; life's greatest asset, normal's physical health, could and in discipline by dismissing those who refuse to conform to college rules."
Be schooled to wait, with patience unbating.
But keep on doing something while you're waiting.

Congress Asked to Vote $50,000 for Preliminary Discussion of Plans—U. S. Not to Be Bound by Any Program Adopted
WASHINGTON. Jan. 4.—President Coolidge requested Congress today to appropriate $10,000 to cover the expense of participation by the United States by the League of Nations preliminary disarmament discussions. "Participation in the work of the preparatory commission," the President said in a special message. "involves no commitment with respect to attendance upon any future conference or conferences on reduction and limitation of armaments, and the attitude of this Government in that regard cannot be defined in advance of the calling of such meetings."
He added that "whether the conditions and circumstances will prove such as to make it desirable for the United States to attend any conference or conferences which may eventually take place as a result of the labors of the preparatory commission or otherwise, is a question which need not now be considered."
Text of the Message
The message follows:
"In the message which I had occasion recently to submit to you, I called attention to the agreement recently entered into by a number of European governments under which guarantees of peace were provided, and I took occasion to point out that the natural corollary to these treaties should be further international agreements for the limitation of armaments, a work that was so successfully begun at the Washington conference.
"The Government of the United States now has been invited by the Council" of the League of Nations to send representatives to sit upon a preparatory commission for the disarmament conference, being a commission to prepare for a conference on the reduction and limitation of armaments, which have been set up by the council and which is to meet in Genoa, Switzerland, in February. The purpose of this commission, it is stated, is to make preparations for a conference for disarmament, which it is the announced purpose of the council to call at an early date.
"It is proposed that the deliberations of the commission shall be directed to such matters as the several factors upon which the power of a country in time of war depends; whether limitation of the ultimate war strength of a country is practical, or whether disarmament should be confined to the peace strength alone; the relative advantages and disadvantages of each of the various forms which reduction or limitation of armament may take in the case of land, sea and air forces; the standard of measurement of the armaments of one country against the armaments of another; the possibility of ascertaining whether the armed force of a country is organized in a spirit of aggression or far purely defensive purposes;
The consideration of the principles upon which a scale of armament for various countries can be drawn up, and the factors which enter into the establishment of those principles, such as communications, resources, geographical situation, population, the vulnerability of frontiers, necessary delays in the transformation of peace armaments into war armaments; criteria, if any, by which it may be possible to distinguish, between civil and military aircraft, the military value of commercial fleets, the relation between regional security and disarmament and between regional disarmament and general disarmament.
"The matters to be examined by the preparatory commission will, it is stated, touch upon all aspects of the question of disarmament and affect the interest, of all the nations of the world. The council believes that the time has come for studying the practical possibility of the reduction and limitation of armaments and expresses the hope that at this time when all the nations of the world are convinced, of a common need, it will be able to count upon the co-operation of the Government of the United States in a work which so closely concerns the peace of the world.
"This is neither the time nor the place to discuss the agenda on the preparatory commission, or 'to assess the prospects of any conference or conferences on disarmament or limitation of armament, which may later be convened. It is quite sufficient to note at this stage, that the United States is merely invited to participate in a preliminary inquiry which may prepare the way for steps of a more definite and formal nature.

policy any measure having a reasonable tendency to bring about these results should receive our sympathy and support.
"The conviction that competitive armaments constitute a powerful factor in the promotion of war is more widely and justifiably held than ever before. And the necessity for lifting the burden of taxation from the people of the world by limiting armament is becoming daily more imperative.
"Participation in the work of the preparatory commission involved no commitment with respect to attendance upon any further conference or conferences on reduction and limitation of armaments, and the attitude of this Government in that regard cannot be defined in advance of the calling of such meetings.
"For this reason I deem it advisable to ask the Congress at this time only for such appropriation as may be required to betray the expenses of our participation in the work of the preparatory commission." I, therefore recommend that there be appropriated the sum of $50,000 to cover the expenses of participation, in the discretion of the executive, in the work of the preparatory commission."
Michigan Court Rules Restriction of Property Sale to Negroes Invalid
The Michigan Supreme Court has handed down an important and far-reaching opinion that will be viewed with interest by Negroes throughout the country, it being to the effect that restrictions made against the sale of property to Negroes on account of color were valid.
This decision is particularly important in view of the widespread activities on the part of whites to exclude Negroes from so-called white residential districts by inserting clauses in contracts forbidding the sale of the property to anyone not of the Caucasian race. By this decree on the part of the Supreme Court, all such contracts are void in the State of Michigan.
While this opinion is favorable to the colored citizens of Michigan and the country, it is pointed out that the decision does not touch upon the economy of premises on which restrictions have been placed, which has been the bone of contention in the many cases throughout the country.
The suit in question was brought by Porter and Wyman, Muskegon, real estate dealers, against Wilbray and Auxille Barrett, white, and Wilson Robinson, a Negro, who purchased the property involved. Porter and Wyman had sold the lot to a Louis Parent, white, who inURN sold it to the Barretts. The contracts in both cases specified that the property should not be sold if Negroes upon penalty of the law says: "We must fear in mind that we are not dealing with a restraint on the use of premises. Such restraints, unless unreasonable, have quite uniformly been upheld. Before the sale of intoxicating liquor was prohibited, this court and practically every court of last resort in the Union upheld restraints of the use of premises for its manufacture or sale. Such a restraint upon the USE was uniformly upheld; but would a restraint on SALE of premises to one who was engaged in the sale of intoxicating liquors elsewhere be valid? I think not."
lots and all improvements reverting to the real estate concern. Upon the sale of the property to Robinson, Porter and Wymag immediately brought suit in the Circuit Court and a verdict was given in favor of the defendants. This decision was affirmed by the State Supreme court on the appeal of the plaintiffs. Justice Fellows, in writing his opin-

To have kept him in the service would have given him a chance to resign with a blaze of trumpets and become a martyr of his own motion. They avoided both pitfalls. They suspended him for five years, leaving him neither in the Army nor out of it; they take the wind out of his sails if he resigns, and they pose him like a schoolboy, in a corner if he doesn't resign."—N.

CANCER IS HELD NON-INFECTIOUS AT SYMPOSI
Hereditary Basis Asserted, Environmental Factors, S as Frictional Irritation, Included
NEW HAVEN, Dec. 30.—Three of standing conclusions were announced by leading expolents of medicine: genetics today during a symposium cancer, conducted at Yale University by the American Society of Zoologists. These conclusions were:
1. That cancer is not an infectious disease.
2. That cancer cannot be developed except by persons in whom there is hereditary cancerous strain.
3. That each persons talented at being a cancerous strain cannot develop the disease spontaneously, but on the memory of environment factors, chief among which is frational irritation.
The first was expounded by J. James B. M. Murphy of the Roel fellow Institute for Medical Research Dr. L. C. Strong of the Bussey Institute, Harvard University, support Dr. Murphy in his finding and add his convictions on heredity, which were disputed, however, by Dr. Jam Efring of Cornell University.
Another announcement of signi-
cance was that of Dr. Halsey J. Ba-
of the Cornell Medical College, who r
ported that experimentation with mi-
n and study of the clinical history of 2
cautious mothers indicated that ti
nursing of babies has little if any a
fect in producing cancer of the brea-
tion, he believed, had a noticeable
effect in increasing cancer suscepti-
bility.
In connection with recent published
reports that Dr. William E. Gye
London, in collaboration with Dr. J. I
Smith, had succeeded in isolating
the nature, germ, Dr. Murphy warned
scientists that "observations of the
nature will require perhaps years a
careful analysis, with parallel biolo-
gical experiments before any final judge
can be passed on them."
"It is quite evident that cancer is inherited said by Strong in presenting his healthy contents. "There is strong presumptive evidence that unit factors, probably multiple, are functional in the incidence of cancer. Whether these factors are all sufficient for the production of cancer, or whether they produce merely a substitution on which certain extrinsic factors, such as irrigation, must act, remains to be demonstrated."
Dr. Strong cited a long list of instances brought to light by science in which cancer has obviously been a family heritage and be called upon the experience of preceding research workers to substantiate his findings, especially Larry Murray and Mass Lathion of Granby, Mass.
Dr. Ewing objected to arriving at any definite conditions from Dr. Strong's experiments.
"There is a considerable difference of feeling on the importance of heredity in the human subject," he explained, "I have been unable to find sufficient evidence that these experiments to lower animals force us to conclude that heredity is the determining factor in the development of cancer among human beings."
Woman Has Bible Smaller Than Man's Fingernail
Mrs. Henry Kern of Waukegan, Ill. believes she owns the smallest Bible in the world. It is printed on the thinnest of India paper, and is scarcely one-fourth of an inch thick. It is claimed that an ordinary postage stamp would cover two such Bible. The volume is even smaller than a man's fingernail, says the Fathinder. Although the type is so fine that no word can be read by the naked eye, under a powerful magnifying glass the printing stands out clear and every word can be read. The completed New Testament is contained in the Lilliputian volume.

THE PEOPLE'S FORUM
The members and friends of the Universal Improvement Association cannot be perfectly happy during the Christmas season when they remember that their leader is still incarcerated. We had hoped that with the coming of the holiday season we would have our leader with us. Although we grieve as his imprisonment, we are consolled by the thought that Nocross have at last found one in the race who is willing to fight and die if necessary, for the freedom of our people. We believe in the leadership of the Honorable Marcus Garvey and that God will return him to us in due time. Our greatest hope is that the membership will remain true to the organization and carry on loyalty until his return. D. BUCHANAN.
Port Antonio, B. W. I.
Patience and Zeal Will
Overcome the Opposition
To the Editor of The Negro World:
The Universal Negro Improvement Association is in the midst of a great struggle. The Honorable Marcus Garvey has conceived and given to us a plan for the deliverance of four hundred million Negroes. The U. N. I. A is a new school which is teaching us the things that we ought to know about ourselves. People are ever slow to grasp that which is new or unusual. The U. N. I. A has given us a new thought, a new aim, a new racial outlook and desire. The Honorable Marcus Garvey has found the way to freedom and a place in the turn, for 400,000,000 Negroes.
Members of the U. N. I. A, need feel no embarrassment because the teachings of their leader are not accepted by all. So it was with the teachings of Christ. The day will finally come when our leader will not only get freedom but recognition by all. Let us work with patience and zeal until that day comes. W. B. LEWIS.
To the Editor of The Negro World:
I am a very poor white woman who cannot help you cause friendliness, but
I burn to express my sympathy for your "Africa for the Africans" movement.
I also hope to see your leader free. If he were white, he would not be kept so long in prison.
Here is a poem I composed to be sung to the time of "Houlish Land."
Nothing helps a cause like a few good slogan songs such as can be easily memorised by all of the people:
O Africa, my native land,
In as in golden sun I stand,
And throw across the bitter sea.
The broken wail of Simon Loge,
And view my own, my shining shore.
Where the white devil dominates no more.
O Africa, my native land.
I owe my soft, dark skin to thee;
And they can strip it from my bones.
If that will set my country free.
My lustrous eyes should love their
light.
And all my blood flow out for thee.
Amen! Amen! Amen!

that we look through the eye of prayer.
I say no that prayer alone will not solve the problem. Some may say through the eye of societies. I say no that has failed. Some through the eye of amalgamation and miscegement. I say no; this will fail. The eye that has solved the problem of the white man and the yellow man is the eye through which we must look. Looking through this eye has the Hon. Marcus Garvey founded the U. N. I. A. for the emancipation of four hundred million black people, and it is the only salvation for the black man of tomorrow. If the U. N. I. A. with its 900 Divisions, would look through one eye, hear through one ear, speak with the voice, rally with one determination, and close the eye of individuality, and unselfishness, success will be ours, and our telegrams to the president of the U. N. I. A. will bring to us freedom for the Hon. Marcus Garvey.
Resolve to Achieve, Then Go Forward
To the Editor of The Negro World,
"The greatest thing 'in the world today is life.' All things in this world center around life here. Only a small part of it around life becomes, and even 'most of this small part' is engaged with the problem of death. To teach us how to live, as well as how to die, then, seems, to be the chief function of education.
The challenge follows; How to live in the multitudinous relationships which our present day civilization, with all of its complexity, enforces upon us. Some one has called it "Preparation for complete living." The essential question for us is "How to live" in the way of sense, not material. The general problem which includes every special problem is the right ruling of conduct in all directions and in all circumstances. Some of the things in answer will be: In what way to treat the body and the mind; how to manage our affairs; to bring up a family; to behave as a citizen; to virtualize all these sources of happiness which mature supplies; to help us our facilities to the greatest advantage to ourselves and others. "How to live completely." Youth should come to a realization of the definite, clearly conceived purpose. This would lend us to think of life as something of certain specific ends to be accomplished.
"Today being the first Sunday of the month is set as international day for Honorable Marcus Garvey." The program covers the five sides of human life, namely: Physical, mental, moral, social and religious—all this with the end in view that "today, Make Men." Now, when our activities include the welfare and happiness of others, as well as ourselves, then they, readily become freighted with immoral powers, because as such these manifest benevolence, cooperative activities are more in keeping with the universal Fatherhood of God and the brotherhood and exemplary nature of man. Perseverance in life's ideals will mean continued progress for the race. That race will survive which faces the good and the evil with courage and faith and justice. All of our learning will mean little unless supported by high character, for which there is no substitute, added to this morality and religious convictions.
We must bow our knees upon the underlying stone of Christianity. Other foundation can no man lay, save that laid on Jesus Christ. We must be clothed with new thought and power, which shall find service to purer lives, in deeper reverence.
In the Proverbs we read: "A race without a vision soon perisheth." The same is true of an individual. Having a vision that is so far-reaching and wide-stretching that there is little room for anything else, will spur us on. "Vision is the power of purpose." Only because one lacks this vision.

does he fall to become more than he
he. There is in us that which, if
developed, will make us rise as far above
our present selfs and circumstances
a钻石 in far above a lump of
coal in material value.
It all lies within our thought. Determine to make ourselves develop that larger thing in us. Resolve, regardless of the coil to become whatever we have in us to become. Think it out first, then go ahead.
If we will but visualize in our minds, determine in our hearts, we will master the habits of thought, that are keeping us from becoming what we want to be and can be. The change will come slowly, perhaps, gradually, and almost imperceptibly. It will require will power, resourcefulness, imagination, initiative, courage and decision. The transformation in us will be magical, spiritual and even physical. Very often the reason, we fall of achievement is because of the mistaken notion that we cannot do a thing. Let us try by all means to develop the right trend of thought. We must "tune in" messages of cheer and helpfulness in our broadcasting, for we receive over the wires just as we send out.
As we grow, so shall our environment grow, and our influence will develop for good, and we will be the broad, earnest, helpful person God intended us to be. "As a man thinketh, so is he." My life's challenge and yours are reciprocal. We must be open-minded. In following Booker Washington's advice to "Dip down our buckets where we are" we must also remember the church is fundamental to the proper uplift of human society everywhere. In every generation its beauty and effect of the great moral influence, ministered by every race of people through the helpful incesses to correct human service in society will be felt.
"So might is grudge to our dust. So near, is God to man. When Duty whispers low then must. The Youth replies, I can."

Education Is Negro's Hope: Bishop Asserts
The future salvation of the Negro in America is to be very largely determined by the educated members of the race. Bishop Riversley C. Ransom of the African Methodist Church told delegates attending the annual convention of the Kappa Alpha Pol Fraternity, a Negro Greek letter society, in the annual sermon in Borgel A. M. E. Church, 62 West 51st street. Bishop Ransom said it will be the duty of the educated Negro to bridge the chasm of misunderstanding now existing between the two races; that the white people of the South who have shown that deep down in their hearts they love the Negro by their kindly treatment to their servants, must be freed of their traditional hostility toward the forward thinking Negro and convinced that type of Negro is no menace; and that the white people of the North must be awakened from their apathy toward the race and also changed in some of their views.
The campaign being conducted by Pullman porters was touched on, and also the efforts of Soviet Russia to win American Negroes to its ranks.
"If you get up in the morning with a smile, the day's work will be easier, the people around you will be pleasanter and you will have a much better time out of life."

SOVIET POLICY IN-EAST KILLS BRITISH RULE
Oppressed People. No Longer Submissive — Some Reasons Why Russia Is the Nightmare of Powerful Nations of Today
MOSCOW (PP). Soviet policy in Asia is dictated by the idea of a non-capitalist social and economic unit striving from the Baltic sea on the west to the Pacific on the east and far south as the intrenched British imperialism from time to time may be forced to yield.
Economic and social opportunities in Asia and the pressing necessity for some escape from the western blockade led the Soviet republic to formulate the major strategy of the eastern policy along three general lines: (1) Establishing intimate relations with Persia, Turkey and Afghanistan, and thus editing the British empire in two by severing connections between Egypt and India; (2) winning China; (3) buying out Japan by granting economic concessions which she could not afford to refuse.
The fulfillment of such a program necessitated a series of negotiations the ultimate object of which was the exclusion of western imperialist nations from participation in economic and social advantages of the Eurasian Soviet unit. The British empire with the occupation of Arabia, the assimilation of control over Persia and Egypt, the mandates over Mesopotamia and the successes in the Caucasus had been so extended, that British control existed over a range of territory running from the Cape of Good Hope to the Straits of Malacca. In the near east, British operations centered about the oil fields. From these vantage points the British shut down the Baku oil fields in order to deprive the Russians of their fuel supply. At the same time they prepared the Anglo-Persian agreement of 1819, under which Persia became a virtual part of the empire.
Two years later this imposing imperial structure had fallen to pieces like a house of cords. Turkey was self-governing and was defying the allies; Persia was a free nation; Afghanistan was independent and the Caucasian oil fields were under Soviet control. The change was revolutionary. It was brought about almost exclusively by Soviet diplomacy and propaganda.

Comments on Disposition Of the Wealth of the
We reproduce below two editorial opinions on the unusual bequest of the late Frank A. Murrey, publisher, who left the greater portion of his vast fortune to the Metropolitan Art Museum of New York:
THE WORLD—Mr. Munsey's will shows how casual can be, the power that great wealth exercise. The bulk of his fortune will go to the Metropolitan Museum of Art because of a will made in June, 1921. According to Mr. Dewart, who was one of the executors, the will antedates not only "the most successful and prosperous period of his career," but it antedates as well plans Mr. Munsey was considering just before he died for mutualizing in part his newspaper properties.
Yet that casual and inadventive act converts Mr. Munsey after death into one of the greatest patrons of the arts the world has ever known. By this curious turn of events the museum becomes the most powerful magnet for works of art anywhere and Mr. Munsey's fortune is destined to alter in important ways the distribution of the accumulated masterpieces of mankind. The power of wealth is indeed strange and fanciful.
THE ATLANTA JOURNAL—Fredrick A. Munsey's bequest of the greater portion of his fortune to the Metropolitan Museum of Art is a happy evidence of a growing appreciation of the part which interests of this nature play in the world's life and soul. Men of far vision and of high achievement see more and more that art is no luxurious afterthought of civilization, but a thing essential to a people's welfare and to the flowering of the human spirit. As a result of Mr. Munsey's magnificent gift the Metropolitan Museum, already a wonder of the world, will become more than ever potent as an educational influence and as a beacon to beauty's shores.
Great hearted men and women of the South, to whom Providence has committed large means and who wish to leave worthy memorials of their devotion, cannot do better than provide for the promotion of art interests and the encouragement of artistic talent in their home States and cities. So doing, they will open richer and higher realms of life for millions of their countrymen and will become creators in the footsteps of the Creator from whom beauty ever streams in star and flower and soul.

TOKIO, Jan. 4.—The War, Office has announced that all troops will be withdrawn from Mukden before January 8, except the regulation railway and consulate guards. It was stated also that, Marshal Chang Tso-Lin had messaged his regrets over the rebellion involving his lieutenant, Kuo Sung-Lin, and promised future peace in Manchuria.
Marshal Chang Tso-Lin, the dominant Manchurian, who has just defeated an army, of dissenters from his own ranks, will not be merciful.
The temper of the victorious Chang was indicated in Foreign Office salves received here today from Mukden. The dispatcher said that eight civil officials, adherents of the defeated General Kuo Sung-Lin, were still refugees in the Japanese consulate at Sinninfu, but Chang is insisting that the men be turned over to him. Chang has refused, without qualifications, to honor a petition from the Japanese consulate asking for mercy for the men who have sought haven at Sinninfu. Japan has taken a different view of the matter, however, instructing the consuls and railway guards near Sinninfu that the men are protected at all costs. This order creates a delicate situation between Chang and the Japanese Government. It is expected that extra Japanese guards will be sent from Mukden to Sinninfu for the purpose of escorting the refugees to the Consulate at Mukden.

Infamous "Color Bar" Bill Voted Down in S. Africa
WASHINGTON—The so-called "Colour Bar" bill, proposing, it is said, to promote differential treatment of Negro natives in the South African mines, was voted down in the Senate of the Parliament of, the Union of South Africa by a vote of 17 to 13.
The bill was supported by the Nationalist, and Labor parties, but was strongly opposed by the South African Party, whose constituents shortly afterwards adopt d resolutions to the effect that "it viewed with alarm the spread by the Union Government of the propaganda of so-called segregation—a segregation regarded as a resuscitation of the old slavery."—C.
