S. TEN CENTS IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES NEW YORK, SATURDAY. AUGUST 14, 1986 The Burden of Leading the Negro Extracts of Speech Delivered by Hon. Marcus Garvey, At Liberty Hall, New York, Sunday, November 19, 1922 At a regular mass meeting of the New York Division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association the Hon. Marcus Garvey, speaking on "The Burden of Leading the Negro," among other things said: "I have always from a child been willing to work. We never ve shirked labor of any kind. When I was fourteen I was doing a man's job, and I was willing to the whole length of it and prove that I also was a man; but I never knew there was a job so hard and difficult in all the world until I got into the job of leading the Universal Negro Improvement Association. "All leaders have had their troubles and trials. There has never been a movement where the leader has not suffered for the cause and not received the ingratitude of the people, and I like the rest an prepared for the consequences. Those of us who lead are not looking for reward, but the greater satisfaction comes to us when we know that the people whom we are leading are appreciative for their own good. The world has never had anything good to say about its leaders. They never had anything good to say about Jesus; they never had anything good to say about Mahomet, nor Luther and the great reformers. Leaders have never enjoyed the appreciation of the people while they lived. After they died the people found out probably that they had labored for the common good. I cannot expect any appreciation from Negroes, yet I will not lose sight of the vision—the redemption of Africa and the emancipation of this race of ours. Caring not what happens to me or any individual we dare not lose sight of that vision because if we do we will be doomed forever. THE FIGHT FOR EXISTENCE The facts that we are making in this organization is one that means our existence forever or our death forever. Now more than ever Africa has become the objective of the world. We are wrangling here and fighting each other here and opposing each other here and opposing each other there—some saying they have nothing in Africa and they are not concerned with Africa—the whole white world is centering on the exploitation and development of Africa for themselves. Not only in France, not only in Italy, not only in Engalnd are groups of men going out to study the economic wealth of Africa, the industrial wealth of Africa, the agricultural and mineral wealth of Africa, but even from America men have been sent out by the various foundations to study the possibilities for the benefit of the white race with whom you live side by side, and in another hundred years if you of the Universal Negro Improvement Association refuse to act, Africa will become the white man's country as America today is the white man's country. The signs of the times portend no good for this race of ours but by your own effort and by your own action. PROVIDE FOR YOURSELVES "I am again warning you that whether Marcus Garvey lives or dies, your one hope is to redeem the country of your fathers; if you do not redeem Africa you and your posterity will be lost. We talk about America being our home; we talk about Canada being our home; we talk about the British Empire being our home, but it is only for a time. The time is about to change; if it is not changed in the twentieth century it will be changed in the next century, and I am telling you that unborn generations of our race will curse us if we make no effort to save them from the wrath of the future. God is not going to save you. He has done all He possibly could; He has given you a life to live, and if you do not exercise your own will in your own behalf you will be lost. God does not interfere with the temporal things of life; He does not interfere with the political destiny of races and nations; God is concerned with the spiritual destiny of man and not the political destiny of man. If you do not feed yourselves you will die; God is not going to feed you; you have to feed yourselves. God is not going to provide an opportunity for you; you have to provide it yourselves; those are the things you have to do for yourselves if you desire to live a happy and peaceful life. "In the creation of man God assigned to every man a part and place in His Creation, and the Universal Negro Improvement Association is going to contend for that part that is belonging to the black man, and if we must die for it we are going to fight the battle. No one shall turn me from this great purpose; no one shall turn me from this great vision—the vision of an African Empire. It cannot be realized in a day; it can not be realized in a week; it cannot be realized in a month or a year. Some of you expect Africa is to be redeemed in a day. It may not be redeemed in my lifetime, but if we fight long enough some generation of ours will see the dawn of that great day when the Red, Black and the Green shall take its place alongside the Stars and Stripes of America and the Union Jack of Great Britain and the Tricolor of France, and black men shall walk beneath their standard as proudly as white men walk beneath the standard of their government. "The great statesmen of Europe and America have looked for and worked toward the ascendancy of the white race and if you have sense you will look forward to and work for the ascendancy of the black race. If you are going to wait for God to come down here and fight your battles you will wait until eternity. God in the affairs of men is on the side of the strongest battalion; the fellow who has sense enough to protect himself—God is with that fellow. If we sit down here and expect God to come down here and fight our battles we are waiting for a long time. If you take my advice you will buckle your armor on and go out physically, mentally, politically, financially, educationally and fight your own battles." SULT OFFERED BY EMPLOYEE TO THE NEGRO WORLD Billy Gill of Bank Teller Has Far-Reaching Repercussion—Bank Manager Gives His Views of Unfortunate Incident—Teller's Prejudice in No Way Represents Attitude of Bank In the issue of The Negro World of July 31 there was published a photograph of a money order issued by the Canadian Bank of Commerce in favor of The Negro World for $10. The teller who wrote the order styled this paper "The Nigger World." "Nigger" is an opprobrious term, and The Negro World is yet to be convinced that the teller was not giving vent to foolish prejudice orooking to pull a joke at its expense. And so the money order was reproduced in this paper with the suggestion to readers that here was an unusual case where the white man's prejudice toward the Negro had invaded even the realm of business. For making this presentation The Negro World has no regrets. The Negro is sick and tired of the point of view of the Nordic, who assumes that even in this day he can convince the black man of a mythical inferiority and discourage him in his march to power. And The Negro World is the accepted mouth-piece of the new Negro—the masses, the people that count. The Canadian Bank of Commerce is a big institution with 551 branches, as its manager states and it can be easily understood that it can ill afford to offend a people. And the sooner it gets rid of employees who would poke fun (7) at a struggling, but increasingly potential people, who today happen to be the exploited of the earth, the higher will be its rating among the civilized institutions of the world. Correspondence from the agent of The Negro World, who mailed the money order in question, and then the Canadian Bank of Commerce on the subject of its employee's happe, is reproduced below. To The Negro World. Attached hereto you will find a letter from the manager of the Canadian Bank of Commerce explaining the condition referred to in your letter of July 27 and in the publication of The Negro World, July 31, under the heading, "Canadian Bank Offers Foolish Insult to The Negro World." I beg to state that I have dealt with the Canadian Bank of Commerce, in the City of Winnipeg, since 1318, and feel that this occurrence does not express the attitude demonstrated by the bank during that period. I feel, however, that there is no excuse for the employee who allowed race prejudice to so warp his mind that he committed this act that brought rightful censure from the Negro Race through its mouthpiece. The Negro World. Mindly give these letters the publicity as requested by the manager of the bank. Yours for the Cause Afric. J. A. ROBINSON. Copy sent to Manager, the Canadian Bank of Commerce. Canadian Bank's Explanation The Canadian Bank of Commerce. North Winnipeg, Man. My attention has been directed to an unfortunate mistake on the part of the teller at this branch of the BAYER ASPIRIN PROVED SAFE Take without Fear as Told in "Bayer" Package BAYER Does not affect the Heart Canadian Bank of Commerce whereby through a pure mlsunderstanding a money order was issued by us payable to "The Nigger World" instead of to "The Negro World." I am also informed that considerable publicity has been given to this matter by the paper in question, which, I think, has possibly been a little unfair in its attitude toward us. However, it does not alter the fact that the incident was most unfortunate, and I trust you will accept my assurance that it in no way represents the attitude of this bank toward your race. Over a period of years this bank has maintained very friendly relations with numbers of your people scattered over the whole of Canada, and we value very much their good will and friendship, and if for nothing else than purely commercial relations we would be foolish to deliberately incur the emmity of your people as the newspaper article seems to imply. Personally neither the writer, who is the manager of the branch, nor any other senior officer had any knowledge of the transaction. For your information I may say that it is the practice to supply the teller with books of money orders bearing the signature of the manager or an officer acting for him, and this enables him to issue orders without delay. In this particular instance the teller claims he understood the order was to be made out as it eventually was, and we have no reason to think that he deliberately intended to offer a slight to your race. I trust you will convey this letter of explanation to the paper in question, with a request that they give it the same publicity as was given the original article, and it would be greatly appreciated if you will at the same time convey to them an expression of your personal opinion of the business relationship which has existed in the past between this branch and yourself. I am sure you do not entertain the impression that this bank is guilty of any insult to your race, because not only would this be poor business on our part, but as already indicated, the incident never came to the notice of those officers who are authorized to express the bank's views. It might be out of place to mention that this branch is only one of 551 branches scattered over the Dominion of Canada, the United States of America and the West Indies, and it would be manifestly unjust to assume that the actions of any one individual employee could be considered as representing the attitude of the bank. In conclusion let me express again my regret that the unfortunate incident could have happened and express the hope that it will not in any way affect the pleasant business relations which have always existed with your people. Yours very truly. V. CURRAN. Manager. FILIPINOS BARRED FROM MANILA CLUBS BY SNOBRISH YANKS FILIPINOS BARRED FROM MANILA CLUBS BY SNOBRISH YANKS MANILA. P. L. Aug. 3—On the return today of Senator Sergio Osmena from Washington, where he was sent as special representative of the Philippine Legislature, he called the attention of Col. Carmi Thompson, the President's envoy to the islands, to one of the important causes of anti-American feeling among native leaders. Speaking on this subject, the Senator, one of the most important leaders of the Philippines, said: "We go to the United States and find the doors open to us everywhere. Naturally, we like the Americans, and the treatment we receive on our visits to Washington and other cities increases our spirit of friendliness. But then we return here, and one of the first things impressed upon our attention is that we are barred from even entering the big American clubs. We are treated better in America than we are at home. Certainly we feel like driving the Americans out of the islands and sending them back home." The Riks club has harried Pilipinas. Civilians are seldom even allowed to enter the Army and Navy club, though native officers of the Philippine courts, many graduates of West Point, are on the membership rolls. Although now the Pole club admits Pilipinas, it is understood that some of the best families of Manila are admitted only on the basis that they are Spanish. This is one of the many spots of the attention, and some Admirals hope that attaining his deeds to cure it. Out. The Admiral received a call from Minister General better leaving on a five-day solo trip to Toulouse, and expected to have a long talk with him before his return. THE NIGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, AUGUST 14, 1999 For Crimeless St. Thomas Thank N. Y. Policeman! The following amazing article which appeared in the New York papers of August 1 is reproduced since it forms the basis of the article appearing in the next column from the pen of Mr. Casper Holstein, a Virgin Islander: The only crime to be found today on St. Thomas, Virgin Islands, is the salary paid to the Police Commissioner. At least when he arrived here yesterday on the Colombian liner Haiti he said it was a crime to take the money. The Commissioner of Police for St. Thomas is M. J. Nolan, former captain in the New York Police Department, in charge of the West 30th Street Station. New York methods have put the damper on St. Thomas's intentions to support home industries and have its own little crime wave. "There isn't a crook of any kind in St. Thomas," Commissioner Nolan said upon his arrival. "It has become so quiet down there that I'm ashamed to go around and collect my salary." In order not to feel guilty of a holdup, Commissioner Nolan said he waits for them to send his salary to him. On a visit to the Virgin Islands six years ago to see his son, Dr. Roger Nolan, of St. Croix, he told St. Thomas officials of New York's methods of cleaning up the underworld. At the time pickpockets, thieves and holdup men had an open season all year round. The officials extended an invitation to Capt. Nolan to apply these methods. He came, he saw, he established a dead line, bought new uniforms for the forty members of the police force and in two weeks the crime wave disappeared like a marcel wave in hot weather. The only trouble left to the police, Commissioner Nolan said yesterday, "is that neither my force nor I have anything to do." Jewish World Council to Confer on Race Problems, Is Sought LONDON, Aug. 4 Jewish Telegraphic Agency).—A plea to reorganise the Committee of Jewish Delegates, first established at the end of the World War and the negotiations of the Peace Treaties in Paris, so as to constitute a "Jewish World Council," was made by Dr. Stephen S. Wise, president of the American Jewish Congress, at a conference opened here yesterday. Dr. Wise urged that the Jewish World Council should consist of representatives of the Jewish communities of the United States, Arengtine, South Africa and Palestine. Dr. Wise pointed out that American Jewry needs an authoritative body representing European Jewry to consult on matters of Jewish importance. American Jewry, although it has given much to the relief of the situation of the Jews in Europe, must also know the opinions of European Jewry, which is, unfortunately, the recipient, he stated. An International Congress of National Minorities will be held in Geneva August 25. Representatives of the Jewish communities in Poland, the Baltic States, Austria and Czechoslovakia will take part. Peace in Morocco PARIS—The work of restoring peace in the more remote districts of French Morocco is progressing rapidly, according to reports recently received by the Foreign Office. Recent dispatcher tells the submission of 2,000 families and Chief Side Raho. The latter probably will be taken to a new district, where his power will be diminished. The date of Abd-el-Krim's voyage to Reunion Island, to which he has been exiled, has not yet been fixed. The voyage probably will not take place for several weeks, when especial transportation will be furnished to the former Rifman leader.—C. P. B. What Will You Do For a Sickly Child?

New York Policeman, Head of Virgin Islands Police, Spills the Beans on Arrival in U. S. — Unwittingly Indicts Vicious Naval Rule in Islands By CASPER HOLSTEIN Only last week an official of the naval government of the Virgin Islands paid the highest tribute ever paid to a people's native character and culture when the Chief of Police in the islands declared to the newspaper reporters upon his return to this country that the only crime he knew of in the islands was the one committed monthly by himself when he drew his salary for being Chief of Police in a country that had no crimes. The implications of this deliberate declaration are far-reaching: In the first place, it gives the lie to the slanders of the Navy Department's own officials in the islands who, like officialdom everywhere, must invent scores to justify the official expenditures which are made on its behalf out of the tax-payers' pockets. In the next place, it suggests a comparison with the results of the culture and civilization current on the mainland, where we had a murder-rate which in 1920 was 22 times as high as that of the British Isles—a rate which has since been increased by a crime-wave which gives us banditry, hold-ups and robbery rampant in every morning's newspapers; bandits habitually running wild, not only with pistols and sawed-off, shot-guns, but with machine guns mounted on automobiles in Chicago, with money protecting murderers who are rich men's sons in New York, with mob-violence in most of the States, especially in those from which the naval rulers and judges of the Virgin Islands come, and with respect for law and order everywhere on the decline, as shown by bath-tub wine-parties in New York theatres, by Teapot Dome stealings to the tune of five hundred million dollars in the national Capital, and violations of the Volstead Act, which are over twenty times as numerous in the State of Georgia than in New York. According to the facts given by the Chief of Police of the Virgin Islands, their inhabitants are better grounded in the principles of respect for law and order than the inhabitants of the United States. But this is not all.

According to a report recently published by the Eyesight Conservation Council of America, more than 50 per cent. of public school children have eye defects of sufficient character to warrant attention and correction. A visual acuity test revealed that 35 per cent. have manifest defects of eyesight and symptoms of eye strain. This is verified by a study of the U. S. Bureau of Education. On Monday evening of this week Drs. R. J. Footer, V. A. Reavick and J. H. Jahkis, three of Shirley's colored optometrists, conferred with James H. Mubert, executive secretary of the New York Urban League, regarding plans for remolving these conditions. It was developed at this conference that the children of Harleys who suffered from defective eyesight are without proper attention. Beginning September 10, a room will be set apart at the Urban League building, equipped with the necessary appliances for conducting a clinic. The doctors will volunteer their services, with the Urban League donating space and general supervision. Registration will be open on and after September 10. THE MUSIC OF THE WEST WESTERN MUSIC Mr. John Gipson is one of these men of the race who have consecrated their lives to service for the cause Africa. A member of the Miami Division, Universal Negro Improvement Association, he is one of its ablest and most untiring workers and recently led the drive for funds to pay for the site on which the Miami Liberty Hall now stands. $35,000 was the sum raised in less than a year thereby proving that with the will to do nothing is impossible to the race. The members of the Miami division are unanimous in praise of his herculean efforts. FIVE MILLION ILLITERATES IN UNITED STATES And This is a Conservative Estimate—More illiteracy Among Native-Born Than Among Children of Foreign-Born—Adults Present Problem (From the New York Times) Statistics given out by the United States Bureau of Education show that about 6 percent of the men, women and children in this country, 10 years of age or older, are unable to read or write.

Postal authorities probably will be asked to investigate a letter mailed to Mrs Gladys Carr, a colored resident of 7,000 Halliday avenue, Oakland, advising her to move from the neighborhood or accept the consequences. Police Inspector Peter Van Houtte said Thursday night. The letter signed "A Friendly Neighbor," says: "I want to give you a friendly warning, which I can do now. You are not wanted in the neighborhood and if I were you I would get out as soon as possible before things are made uncomfortable or dangerous for you. "There is to be a meeting of Halliday avenue residents on Sunday to discuss you and decide what to do with you. After the meeting I can not help you at all. So take my advice and move on as quickly as you can." The case is one to be handled by Federal authorities. Inspector Van Houston said yesterday following an interview with Merr. Carr.

Chinese and Japanese at Loggerheads, Former Feeling That Japan Is to Be Numbered Among the Exploiters Constructive Program Formulated Aiming at Pan-Asian Language, Pan-Asian Bank and University for Improvement of Oriental Culture The Pan-Asiatic Congress, which opened at Nagaski, Japan, August 1, and concluded its sessions two days later, was not what either its critics or its friends hoped it would be. Nevertheless, it is agreed on all sides that it marked the beginning of an era of Pan-Asiatic thought which is pregnant with possibility. When seven years ago at the bidding of the Hon. Marcus Garvey, Negroes from the four corners of the world assembled in convention in New York, the white world professed to scoff, and from ridicule had perforce to turn to serious appraisement. And so it is with the meeting this month of the Aslatic people. The Nordic professed to see in the event an opportunity for a hate-test—the expression by the oppressed Aslatic of his hatred of his white oppressor. But such was not the case. All reports agree that the deliberations were constructive, with the future well-being of the Aslatic the prime consideration. There was disharmony, however, within the congress itself, the Chinese feeling that Japan was a suspect and was in the conference at the bidding, and to do the behests of her peers of the western world. The thought was advanced that Japan, who was as much an imperialist oppressor as the pale-face, had no rightful place in a conference of the exploited. Be that as it may, the congress ended with the feeling general among observers and participants that a signal step forward had been taken by a so-called backward group which bodies ill for "white supremacy." Constructive Program A United Press despatch says of the meet: NAGABAKI, Japan, Aug. 4.—A constructive but somewhat visionary program has grown out of the Pan-Asian Congress, instead of the wave of anti-white feeling that many observers expected. Delegates are now en route to their homelands, where they will enlist support for a new all Asian language, a pan-Asian bank and a university that will bring Oriental culture to new heights. Opening with a series of anti-white orations, the congress, summoned to stay the hand of the Occidental in the East, ended with little bitterness apprehens. A few Japanese delegates left because China revived the issue of the twenty-one demands that in 1955 gave Japan special privileges in China. Korean delegates left because one of their number was denied permission to make a speech. In the end bitterness against the Occidentals gave way to practicability, and it was the united opinion that the East should continue agitation for racial equality in the League of Nations and the invention of a new language that may be spoken by all East Asia. Outside the convention hall no antihite feeling of consequence was aroused. (From the Daily Worker) "No Room For Japan" PEKING. July 28.—The Chinese nationalists have taken the measure of the so-called "Pan-Asiatic congress" engineered by the League of Nations to be held in Nagasaki, Japan, on August. And the Chinese nationalists point out that it is a scheme which bodes no good to the Asiatic peoples on account of its alleged pro-Japanese character, while the Japanese imperialists, say the Chinese, have been just as brutal oppressors as the European and American imperialism. While China will be represented by the league of Asiatic races with headquarters in Peking, what the Chinese nationalists who are leading the great movement that is awakening the Orient to rebellion against imperialist overlords think of the congress is told by the "People's Tribune" of Peking, organ of the nationalists. Must Be League of Exploited A league of Asiatic nations is not rejected by the Chinese nationalists, but it shall be a league of the exploited races against their exploiters—and Japan is one of the exploiters. The article from the People's Tribune is most interesting, as may be seen by the following quotations: "Japanese politicians have been working energetically during the last year to press forward their scheme for the establishment of an so-called Asiatic league of nations, the alleged purpose of which is to promote international friendship among the Asiatic nations, and arrangements have been made to hold a conference of the league in Nagasaki. Japan Behind Congress "The idea of forming such a league originated in Japan and it received a strong boost at the time Japan was made to suffer the humiliation of the passage of the United States immigration law prohibiting the immigration of Japanese into the United States and the passing of the anti-Japanese laws in California. Japan then good as a martyrified to suffer the same indignation and disabilities to which the west subjected all the poor and down-trodden Anatole people. Seemed by the west, Japan turned to her Anatole sister nations to aid concession in their common sorrow. Japan on Guptafer "Proud of her accomplishments in the western area and her progressive departure from the high-rise systems of the east, Japan once looked down with no less contempt than the west upon her racial brothers. Now she is willing to place herself at the head of the long-suffering Orient and restore it to the splendor of its ancient past. For a League of the Suppressed "This does not mean that there is no room for a league of Asiatic nations. In so far as the east, for the most part, consists of the exploited colonies and subject territories of the imperialists, of nations struggling for their independence and of nations that have secured their independence and are fighting to preserve it—China, Korea, the Philippines, India, Egypt, Turkey, Morocco, Arabia and a host of others—a league of these nations might help. But there is no room for Japan in such a league." There is but one straight road to success, and that is through merit. The man who is successful is the man who is useful.

The members of the Oakland Division are very enthusiastic at this writing, because of their removal to their own building, which they began purchasing last September. This property is a valuable acquisition to the prestige of the organization in this community. All auxiliary and business meetings are being held in this building, but the large Sunday mass meetings are yet being held at Carpenter's Hall. When our equity has been further increased, several alterations are planned that we might use the newly acquired property for our entire proceedings. In the meantime, the members and friends of our Division are admirably assisting every appeal made to liquidate this responsibility. The women, in particular, have planned and are still planning various methods to speedily wipe out this indebtedness. We are very proud of our women workers, and trust that the Spirit exemplified by them will permeate the entire membership. Sunday afternoon, Aug. 1, a splendid Dairy Day program was rendered by this Division. An unusual air of seriousness seemed to pervade the atmosphere. The speakers were forceful and their subjects selected showed much thought and study. The Juveniles, under the direction of Sgt. Johnson, were at their best. Every number was a delight and inspiration to those present. The name of Marcus 'Survey was lauded and proclaimed by these brilliant little patriots. The singing of the National Ethiopian anthem by little Ester Johnson, only 2 years old, was phenomenal, and won for her much appreciative applause. Mrs McNorwood of San Diego was a visitor to our meeting and read the Preamble, Aims and Objects from the Constitution, then made a short and pointed talk on the program of African Redemption. In conclusion she recited a composition entitled "Keep at It". Mr. T. E. Smith was presented as the speaker of the day, and his address was based on the duty of the educated Negroes to their unfortunate brothers in Africa. His subject was the "Black Man's Burden", contrasted with Kipling's poem, "The White Man's Burden". Such analysis as was rendered by Mr. Smith cannot fail to stimulate interest in the Motherland, and the emancipation of our stricken kin now at the mercy of the white invaders. The announcement of the recent purchase made by the Parent Body for the U. N. L. A. University, was a fitting climax to an unusual day in our history. The appeal for funds to make secure the possession of this property, was heartily met with a liberal response from members and friends. Rev. Parham of Berkeley, in his characteristic manner ably assisted the raising of the funds; in a few brief remarks this fiery preacher emphasized the importance and significance of the deal closed by the Parent Body.

Chicago Division No. 23 has not sent in a report for several weeks past, but we are still carrying on vigorously in the cause of Africa. Good fortune has attended us, and is still with us. Since the incoming of the new administration, headed by Hon E. K. Knox as president and Hon H. Balfour William as executive secretary, the membership has been fast consolidating, and all the evidence of factionalism which was with us so long has passed, and the spirit of One God, One Alm and One Dastiny is reigning supreme. We wish, however, to express our sincere belief, that this good fortune was occasioned largely by the recent visits of the Parent Body officers, namely, Hon Fred A. Toote, Hon W. A. Wallace, Hon St. Clair Drake and Madam M. L. T. DeMena. The host to visit us was Hon Fred. A. Toote, and his visit is still the talk of the town among the members. Our weekly mass meetings, held every Sunday afternoon at the Coleman School, and every Wednesday at Liberty Hall, are very enthusiastic. The spirit of confraternity is at a high ebb. The division has completed arrangements for a big excursion to Cincinnati on the 28th of August, accompanied by all of the nearby divisions. We have just received notice from Hon. William Ware, president of the noted Cincinnati division, that he is bending every effort to receive and entertain us on a grand scale. The Hon Marcus Garvey, the Parent Body and all our sister divisions need not have any uneasiness for that part of the welfare of the Universal Negro Improvement Association which has been entrusted to Chicago Division No. 23. DETROIT, MICH. --- The Detroit Division, Universal Negro Improvement Association, carried from the city of Detroit on July 31 the biggest excursion to Niagara Falls that ever left the city. It was necessary to secure two trains to accommodate the crowd. The first train left at 10 p. m. and the second at 1 p. m. arriving at the falls at 6 a. m. and 7 a. m., respectively. The entire day Sunday was taken up viewing the various aspects of that wonderful waterfall. The scenic beauties of Niagara are indescribable. At about 8.30 p. m. the one billion, five hundred million candle power light was focused on the Horse Shoe Falls and such a beautiful scene can never be seen anywhere else except at Niagara. The light produces the exact colors of the rainbow and one remains astounded for hours looking at man's ingenuity devising scientific means to beautify America's wonderful waterfall. An enjoyable day was spent by all and the Detroit Division wishes to thank the members and many friends who participated in this excursion and assisted to make it a phenomenal success. We do hope that when the next one is given all Detroit will invail itself of the opportunity of seeing Niagara Falls. J. A. CRAIGEN. Reporter.

A. held a rather brilliant meeting on July 15, when we were pleased to entertain in our midst Lady Herrietta Vinton Davis, Fourth Vice-President and charter member of the association. The U. N. I. A. should be proud of so worthy and noble a worker. The people of Stann Creek rallied out in large numbers to hear the African star promulgate and expound to her people the past, present and future glories of their motherland Africa, the richest continent in the world. The rostrum was graced with the officers of the division present and persons who are in sympathy with the African program. After listening attentively to the discourse of Lady Davies on the outrages perpetrated by the white man upon Africa and her dusky people, we how our heads with grief, and lament to our very soul the awful and cruel insults hurled upon us, and so we look up to the God of heaven and earth. He who took clay and made us into an entity, and when He was through delivered us up as servants. But we are looking to such a God now for deliverance, and in the meantime, we give Marcus Garvey due credit for having started such a wonderful organization. Long live Marcus Garvey. THOMAS V.

N.W. W. W. W. our social midwife and Marold G. Stuart, M.D. THE HIGH COST OF PROPAGANDA PROPAGANDA is the most effective weapon used in the world today; whether in peace or war man relies on it to gain support for his cause and make friends of hostile forces. It is a system of educating others to one's viewpoint, and divers are the methods used to bring this about. It is said the allies won the war through propaganda; to a great extent this is so. They depicted the Germans as war-mad, thirsty for blood, ruthlessly destroying Europe, the centre of white civilization, and asked white America if he would withhold men and money in such a crisis. Uncle Sam was forced to succor the allies, because every citizen was made to sympathize with them through allied propaganda. Today world attention is being focused on Mexico in her effort to keep the church out of politics by enforcing her religious laws. The Roman Catholic Church, which owns millions of dollars of property there, is putting up a stiff fight to thwart government control, and it is interesting to read the garbled reports emanating from Pupal agencies, in an attempt to enlist world sympathy and aid. The Knights of Columbus, the strongest Roman Catholic organization in the world, met in convention and appealed to President Coolidge to intervene, which he could not do, since the property of the church was not American property, but belonging to the Pope at Rome, and the lives of Americans were not threatened. The convention further authorized: "The Supreme Board of Directors to assess the membership of the organization $1,000,000 for a campaign of education, to the end that the politics of Soviet Russia shall be eliminated from the philosophy of American life and the ideals of liberty of conscience and democratic freedom may extend to our afflicted fellow-human beings beyond the Rio Grande." Propaganda is so important that the members are assessed, not asked to contribute, one million dollars for the campaign in this crisis. What Soviet Russia has to do with it, we cannot see, but whenever weak nations, or oppressed peoples demand their rights, the "Red" scare is sounded. One of the most efficiently organized and highly financed is anti-Negro propaganda. Some Negroes are too dull to sense it, and often are the tools used to disseminate it. White newspapers are the organs used to express it. Their method is to portray the Negro as a rapist, thief and gambler, for these deeds he gets a front page location and glaring headlines. His deeds of valor and achievement are ignored by the white press. White movies also play up the Negro in this role, or as a servant, bowing and bending to the white master. Even the white man's religion when interpreted by him to Negroes reck of this racial antipathy. His schools and his textbooks are all in keeping with this vicious scheme. Hence white men the world over have been propagandized to believe that every Negro was low and good-for-nothing. Negroes themselves were taught that they were only fit for servants and that white men were their natural masters. It rested with some one bold and courageous enough to launch and maintain a counter propaganda to educate white- and black to the fact that black men first gave civilization to the world, and it is because of the sinister acts of suppression and oppression why Negroes are unable to achieve much in this age as a people. Nine years ago Marcus Garvey came; single handed he stepped forth, friendless and lacking means, laughed at by his own and persecuted by whites, yet today the world writes Negro with a capital "N," quotes his expressions, and takes him seriously, while the race devotes its energy to building a nation in Africa, and takes pride in its wonderful physique and beautiful black skin. It took Marcus Garvey nine years of toil and suffering, even his liberty, to bring about this change. It cost the faithful members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, thousands of dollars to change world opinion about them; yet a few thousand dollars is nothing compared to the millions spent by white peoples to keep Negroes in subjection. The veriest tyro is obliged to admit the great feat accomplished by this organization, and knowing the great value of propaganda, Marcus Garvey will continue to invest more money for this purpose. It is money well spent and brings good returns. Nation building is our program, not building apartment houses or churches, that's too small a job for us; and in laying the foundation of a government, we must, of necessity, educate our people up to the standard of knowing what they want, getting what they want, and keeping what they get. These are invaluable assets, yet cannot be seen in brick and mortar. The Anti-Saloon League and the drys spent about thirty million dollars for propaganda purposes in America in order to bring about the prohibition law.

Sails to South Africa To Escape U. S. Heat New York, Aug. 6—Anxious to get back to the comparative coolness of South Africa, M. J. Griffiths of the University of Johannesburg, one of twenty-four British students who arrived three weeks ago on the Leviathan, sailed yesterday morning on the United States liner George Washington. He said his brief visit to this country had been pleasant but too warm for him, especially during the last few days. "What makes it worse here is that you Americans don't know how to dress for the heat," he said "and instead of wearing alit or ponges keep on heavy woolen suits. I tried to dress like an American so as not to be conspicuous and only added to my sufferings." Chicago's Business Queen Retires Chicago. — Information that Mrs Jacob Lauer has sold her holdings in the Liquid Carbonic Company for approximately $40,000,000 indicated that Chicago's leading business woman has ended her remarkable career in the commercial world. In financial circles it is reported that the General Motors Corporation was connected with the purchase of the largest concern of its kind in the world. IF YOU ARE GARVEYITE By MARY R. ROBINSON, Pittsburgh, Pa. Keep a stiff upper lip when misfortune assails you. And place the sharp thorns of distress in your crown! To the rough cross of failure they'll cruelly nail you, Unless you have courage to battle them down. Push onward with nerve to the goal of ambition, Plant firmer your feet when they threaten to slip; Keep before you the star of an African nation, Keep climbing the heights with a stiff upper lip. This life is a mixture of pleasure and sorrow. Of radiant joys and soul-harrowing pain; Though bright are the skies today, they tomorrow May deluge your life with cold showers of rain. When talons of care at your vitals are pinching. When sharp are the stings of adversity's whip; Endure the keen pains if you can, without flinching. Stand up like a man, keep a stiff upper lip. Journeying Through Life Join Hands Only with the Virtuous By P. L. BURROWS Life is a continuous journey and each individual man or woman is a traveler upon its highway—going through many phases and vicissitudes—wayfarers going from place to place, from mile-stone to mile-stone until the seven stages have been made. Like the elevator, one time up and at another time down; down in the slough of despond or disappointments, and then up on the heights of ambition and encouragement; but never standing still. Our careers in life are varied, some smooth and easy going; some hard and rugged, and still others so checkered that you would not be able to discern when they are up or down. Make Success Out of Failure It is very important therefore, yes. It is all important, that we join hands only with the virtuous if we would be successful in accomplishing a given degree of progress. Many times we must scale barriers which seem insurmountable; this, however, can only be done by individuals who do not allow themselves to become victims of bad environment and in this, I fully appreciate Hall Caine when he says: "I hold it true with him who sings. To one clear harp in divers tone. That men may rise on stepping stones Of their dead selves to higher things." It is very necessary to investigate the lives of our acquaintances and still more necessary, the lives of our friends and associates in business, and why this examination? Because since it is human to err, and also human to be found off our guard; at such periods, therefore, those with whom we are closely connected in any way ought to be tested as to their sincerity and true moral worth. In this way very often we discover ourselves through our real friends and on the other hand often learn by dis- cernment that we are only led by individuals in the garb of friend- ship who play upon our feelings for their own good. These persons sometimes lead us to positions in life that may place us at great disadvantages and bring us to degradation and shame, but if we are caution in the selection of our friends, we will surround ourselves with good people, whose influence can help us. Who are the virtuous? The honest, industrious men and women; they who think always of conserving for the general good of all, loving the right, unselfish in their acts, truthful and broad-minded in their dealings with others having regard for the feelings of others under the most trying conditions. Live to Help Others This brings to my mind a statement made by the eminent Dr. Calmy, "NO MAN WAS MADE FOR HIMSELF ALONE, BUT EVERYONE HAS SOME RIGHT AND INTEREST IN US AND WE IN THEM." Selfishness does not help us to live right, but rather it seeks to ignore the condition of others. Selfishness always aims at creating around it an absolute uniformity of type. Unselfishness recognizes infinite variety of type as it is a delightful thing to be a source of pleasure in the company of others, true life, therefore is inseparable with duty, and duty is really founded on morality, born of love, and love is religion; transferring morality into righteous, which is the Christ-like way of loving, therefore loving is the only true living, hence, to work and live for good of the human family, one can wish for no greater service, all this can be successfully accomplished if we join hands with the virtuous. MORAL—"If we will go to place true value on Virtue as we go through life, our living is in vain; and we only exist as do the members of the animal kingdom who neither have WILLS nor REASON." Prominent among constitutional diseases is the one known as rheumatism. It is characterized by certain local symptoms as manifestations in abrous tissues. This term has been applied to neurologic affections and to goat but it differs from each in several essential particulars. Rheumatism may be divided into acute, chronic and muscular. Acute articular rheumatism implies an affection of the articulations or joints. It usually commences suddenly: some times pain or soreness in the joints precedes the disclosure of the disease. Chronic articular rheumatism, the symptoms, are more or less swelling of the joints, although not of as grave a character as in acute rheumatism. It is not generally fatal, but there is danger of permanent deformity. As in acute articular rheumatism, it rarely proves fatal unless the heart is invaded. Muscular rheumatism, this affection is closely allied to neuralgia, it exists under two forms, acute and chronic. In acute muscular rheumatism, there is at first a dull pain in the muscles which gradually increases, when the affected muscles are not used, the pain is slight, and certain positions may be assumed without inducing it constantly; but in movements which involve contraction of the muscles the pain is very violent. In subacute or chronic muscular rheumatism, pain is excited only when the affected muscles are contracted with unusual force, and then it is similar to that experienced in the acute form. The chronic form is more apt to change its position than the acute, the duration of this form is indefinite; in both the acute and chronic forms some particular parts of the body are more subject to the affection than others. Another trait which distinguishes muscular rheumatism from neuralgia is that the former is characterized by great soreness, while the latter is not. There is also a distinction between inflammation of the muscles and muscular rheumatism. In the case of the former there is continued pain, swelling of the parts, and the presence of more or less fever, which conditions do not exist in the latter. Persons subject to rheumatism of the muscles are apt to suffer from an attack after an exposure of the body to a draught of air during sleep, or when in a state of perspiration. There are several ways of treating this disease, but we recommend the person suffering to employ a physician of well-known skill in the treatment of chronic diseases.

At no period of life, or in the history of the American Negro, has his statute as a man and a citizen, been so closely watched and criticized as at the present time. The galling, chains and merciless lash of the slave-master were the instruments used to accomplish the humiliation and degradation of the Africans; and today, after a short space of time has passed over them, the descendants of the slaves are wrestling with world situations as it exists throughout the world. The Negro is but a man with faults common to other races, and he cannot be expected to rid himself of them in any way different from method adopted by mankind in general. Agen of deception, vice, cruelty and crime is practiced by the Caucasians upon Africans in this land, should never be forgotten. The Negro has made a test of everything pertaining to American civilization, its principles of religion, politics and morals, and proves to the world that the black man's civilization is built higher than the average white man can climb, and antedates that of the boastful Nordic. At this time we will ask the question, "What role is the educated Negro woman to play in the uplifting of her race?" The question is timely and proper. Every race and nation has its quota of brave and earnest women engaged in creating for themselves, a higher sphere of usefulness to the race. The Negro women are now going more than ever before in the history of their race for its uplifting and building. If the educated Negro woman will rally to the support of the principles of the organization, I think they will be amply repaid by the results accruing from their labor. Judge the colored women by the past since the emancipation, and neither they nor their friends have any cause for anxiety. For years, either heading themselves together in small groups or struggling alone, colored women have worked with might and main to improve the conditions of our people. We are studying all questions and are calling the attention of our people to the alarming conditions, and how the Negro is losing ground in the world of labor. In all the ages woman has been the central figure around which all joy and sorrow, inspiration and accomplishments have circled; for without her there would be no home circle. Men are what women make them, but I am sorry to say that some of us have made very bad jobs of it-for two-thirds of the need need making over. If a woman is refined and exhibits a modest dignified bearing, men cannot fail to appreciate her; while on the other hand, bolderous conduct on the part of the women will encourage boldness toward them, disrespect for them, and win the contempt of the men in the community for such women. I cannot refrain from mentioning street decorum here. Woman, as she glides through the busy and crowded streets of our city, is eyed or watched by every one. It is here that she impresses the world of her worth. Sheen, by her acts, surround herself with a wall of protection that the most vicious characters would not dare attempt to scale. Beware then mothers! Accompany your daughter as often as possible in public, for they are the women of tomorrow; if ever there was a time that she needs you, it is now. This said "The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world." Then do your work well. The race looks to the educated woman to play her part. I mean the real educated women, not the woman that has gone to college and has just enough education to make a fool of herself; but the woman who is educated racially as well as otherwise. These are the kinds of women that are going to see that the program of the U. N. I. A. is put over, and safeguard the future. The Negro women have the greatest work in the world before them now, and they are not afraid, they are going, on over the top. We know that it takes time, but we have the patience and we shall work and pray until the battle is won.

Her governor and Commander-in-Chief, Sir J. J. Auer, recently turned the first sod for the line and waged the Bermudians to target their acrimonious discussions and to support the project. Thurs Bermuda compromises the public demand for better transportation with the desire to reserve her white coral roads for the use of the horse and the 'bicycle. The railway will wind through the countryside, and, although it will skirt the hills and cut the corners of gardens and farms, the line will not invade the highways.—Wm. B. Hayward. The Past Inspires the Future A miser counts his gold, remembers with what painful effort he accumulated it. And in that counting and remembering he finds comfort. The treasure of the human race is progress, difficulties overcome, superstitious conquered, and as the miser counts his money, so every human being may count and enjoy the accomplishments in the steady, upward progress of the race to which he belongs. It is well to review the past, for in it we find fresh enthusiasm for future work. We see what difficulties other men have overcome, realize how much easier our task is, how much more freedom, truth and education there is among us, and in that we find courage to travel our part of the road.—N. Y. American.

American Vice "The thing that is troubling this country most just now is the amount of debt piled up by the credit system and installation plan of buying. The American people no longer buy. They are backed into a corner and are hold." "Credit is the dearest thing we sell in this country. Debt has become a national industry. That is bad business for the debtor and bad business for the creditor also. The debtors are paying for a dead horse and the dead horse is in no man's land, for the goods are no longer in the possession of the manufacturer, who sells to the dealer on credit, the dealer has lost possession of fresh goods and the buyers do not yet own them. "I believe this debt situation will provide the soft which will bring people to a cash basis, where they already know they should be."—Henry Ford. The Negro Problem United States Senator James A. Reed, democrat of Missouri, when asked whether he would support a "force" law being proposed to put teeth into the enforcement of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments as they apply to Negroes, declared he was against the adoption of too many laws and stated that the Negro problem should be let alone. "Let the South take care of its problems," declared Reed. "White people and colored in the South seem to be greeting along very satisfactorily and the Negroes I have talked to seem to be pretty well satisfied with things as they are." Every man wants: A wife, like his watch, always handy when she is wanted, and never in the way when she isn't wanted.

Fail to Grow Hair Hair Root Hair Grower more than a year since this very Police Chief was guilty of upholding a policeman in the island of St. Thomas who had cruelly maltreated a defenseless old woman, and when the black legislators of that Island investigated the matter he did not hesitate to insult them greatly by declaring that they and their witnesses were so wedded to lawlessmen that they would gladly blacken the character of all the policemen in the Island in order to effect their removal. At that time he did not struggle to maintain the threats that crime was so much a part of the Virgin Islands' nature that this white police chief from the lawless mainland was indispensable to protect somebody or other from the lawless and vicious elements of the local community. But on landing in New York he is free to tell the truth—so we have Michael dunk with race-projudice and the bias of naval partnership down there being corrected in his falsehoods by Michael sober up here. It is all very amusing, and yet it is tragic, too. For it does demonstrate that the present brand of professional American on the islands are way off in their officially expressed estimates of the people's character and that their words in derogation of that character are, well, quite a good way off the trail of truth. Phantom Belchoviste But there was one curious reservation which was made by this anomalous Police Chief of three islands where there are no criminals to police. He tells us that the only "trouble" in the islands comes from a small group of "Bolshovists." Now, it is a notorious shot that since the war this has been the name given to every group everywhere which has tried to hold war-horses to their universally-advertised pledge of "democracy" and "self-determination"—whether it was in France, England - America, in Morocco, Egypt, India, Ireland or Mayti, the same silly cry has come from a harassed and hypercritical offencement that their troubles were due to "Bolshovism" and the "Bolshovists," Americans, black and white, will therefore suspect that the so-called "Bolshovists" are nothing but local patriots, demands of a promised "democracy" who are made into a convenient bungee for the easier solving of the official conscience. Everyone in the islands whose propaganda threatens ultimately the continuance of naval rule and therefore of the Chief's "unearned increment" is, in his self-regarding eyes, a deep-dyed "Bol- persons hold opinions different from his on the question of what is politically best for themselves. But this is not a crime—except, perhaps, to a Police Chief holding down a sinecure; so that the exception is no exception after all. But the type of sinecure selected by the Naval Government of the Virgin Islands is hardly likely to perceive this. So that the Virgin Islands are likely to be saddled a little longer with superfluous and unnecessary public servants like this Police Chief—until Congress abolishes the naval government and sets up a civil administration in its stead. SHEIKS OF THE DESERT PAY SATAN HOMAGE Sheikh Claim They Can Trace Their Ancestry from Heaven Through Sheikh Charef-Eddin ALEPPO, Syria, Aug. 3.—Tausu Malak, the "fallen angel" whom God expelled from heaven, is the patron maint of the sheiks—not those who handsome profiles thrown against the American screen have made flappers' hearts flutter. The tribe of the Yazidians, worshippers of Satan, from which the original sheiks sprang, are nomads living from cattle raising. They number about 12,000 and their habitat is north of Aldepo, near the Djelbel Soumann. Another branch is to be found at Khalitar, a small town in the vicinity of Dlarbehr. Sheiks claim they can trace their ancestry from heaven, being direct descendants of Sheik Charaf-Eddin, or "the moon." Another early sheik was Amadin, which means "pillar supporting heaven," while a third one was directly related to the sun. Some of the present-day sheiks claim to have the power of miracle in rendering inoffensive the bliss of snakes and sea creatures. "Why do you worship the devil?" asked an American who had been bitten by a poisonous insect and, destruc- tion of ascertaining the miraculous power of the sheiks, had sent for one. "Satan is the source of all evil, and if we ignore him we cannot avoid his wrath. God, on the contrary, is the essence of kindness, and therefore we have nothing to fear from Him," was the way the reply was translated. There is no divorce among the real sheiks, in which they differ somewhat from the American species. Sheiks marry only the daughters of other sheiks. The marriage ceremony is very simple. It is a question of mutual consent between the bride and the bridegroom, expressed before one of the older sheiks. Both newlyweds are then branded with red ink on the shoulders and forehead. The sheik performing the ceremony then takes a branch of a tree and, breaking it in two, says: "Remain united until death paris you as force has broken this branch." "Mistress" Once Correct For All Women Denmark's decision to abolish the equivalent of "Miss" and address all women, married or single, as "Mrs." calls the comparatively recent origin of the distinction in feminine titles in land. Until the seventeenth century "Mistress" was the correct form for all women, and the diminutive "Miss" dates only from the time of Charles II. Contemporary evidence goes to show that the term was not intended to matter, but rather to denote the inferior status of the person who lacked a husband to provide her with the more dignified title, says the Manchester Guardian. But it evidently supplied a want and quickly passed into general use—except among the purists. Lady Mary Wortley Montagu records that in her childhood dignified old ladies refused to use the vulgar new term and addressed even little girls as Mistress."

Briton Calls Walt Whitman Mothers of Large Families WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.—According to birth statistics for the birth registration area of the United States, as reported for the year 1923 by the U. S. Bureau of the Census, there were 8,247 mothers who gave birth, exclusive of still births, to their twelfth child. Among this number were 1,273 colored mothers, 83 percent of whom lived in the five states of North Carolina, Mississippi, South Carolina, Virginia and Maryland, in the order named. BISHOP I. E.

In the northern states, Pennsylvania and Ohio led with colored mothers who gave birth to their thirteenth child as their contribution to the growth of the colored population. There were also 495 colored mothers who gave birth to 14 children; 210 to 15; 176 to 16; and 94 to 17 children. Out of a total of 159 mothers who gave birth to their eighteenth child in 1922 there were 22 colored mothers, led by the State of Mississippi with nine, and Virginia with eight. The colored mothers of Connecticut stopped with their sixteenth child, and in the District of Columbia, Illinois, Kansas, New York, Ohio and Rhode Island, the seventeenth child appeared to mark the end of Negro family proclamation. But in Maryland, one colored mother gave birth to her twenty-fifth child while one mother in North Carolina and another in Virginia presented proud fathers with their twenty-sixth child. During the same year a five-gender white woman in Pennsylvania also gave birth to her twenty-sixth child. The largest member reported for a native white woman was twenty-five, in the State of Virginia, the "Mother of President."

A Philippine flag, a place in the family of nations, a Cabinet responsible to the Philippine Legislature would be some of the provisions of his plan. America would act as a protector and the islands would have the same status as a dominion. Norbert Lyons, of the American Chamber of Commerce in the Philippines, said economic and political rule would follow if the United States re-ignited the islands.

According to the American Educational Digest, there is more illiteracy among the native-born than among the children of the foreign-born. The first line of attests to to reach all the children and to ensure complete literacy in the next generation. This is a matter of state responsibility, though of national concern.

CHICAGO, Aug. 6.—From a@ recent survey of the Douglass National Bank of Chicago it was found that the insti- tution is efficiently and conservatively managed and has shown unprecedented growth among the business enterprises owned and operated by colored people. In point of resources, the bank 1s now the largest bank in the United States owned by colored people. At the clos of business June 30, 1926, the resources Were more than $1,900,000. This represcnts an increawe of over $1,259,000 alnce June 30, 1923. The institution has a capital and surplus of $235,000. Ten thousand dol- lars of this surplus was added out of earnings durlus the first six months of thix year. The 2,000 shares of the capital stock of the bank are owned by more than 250 stockhuiders, lecated in many actions of the country. These stockholders have already begun to re- celve dividends, and it in evident that those who own the stock have an un- usually good investment. Forty-five Thousand Depositors More than 43,000 persons and inati- tutions have opened accounts in the Douglass National Bank within the past four years. Among these deposi- tors are included the City of Chicago, Cook County (the county In which Chi- cago in located), and the Stato of ui pols. Tho bank {!s also a depository for postal savings funda of tho Federal Government. National, religious and fraternal organizations cated throughout the country have found it) of great advantage to carry deposits in this bank. In addition to the many thousands of depositors who live in the State of Milinols, the institution has, at the present time, 2.368 out-of-town depositors, who reside in twenty-eight other States of the Union, The bank is, therefore, doubly national—national in that it wan created under an act of Congress and national in that an in- creasingly large number of persona and organizations located throughout the nation are using the bank because of its safety, eMciency and convenience in handling their banking business by mail. The bank conducted a campaign for new business from May 17 to July 17, 1926. During these two months, more than forty-five hundred new accounts were opened. Approximately $25,000,000 have been handied through the bank within four years with absolute safety and satis- faction, Most of thin amount repre- sented the funds of colored people. ‘The support that the Institution 4s xetting is brought out by the facts that on June 36, 1923, the deposits were $262,709.46; on June 30, 1924, they were $866,177.06; June 30, 1928, they had reached over a million, and on June 30, 1926, they had climbed to $1,201,604.53. The business is growing so rapidly that the directors will be compelled to take over more banking space within the next few weeks. Offers Complete Banking Service ‘The institution offers a complete gen- eral banking service. In addition to its commercial and savings depertments, it maintains an efficient collection de- partment for both local and out-of- town items; and sells traveler's checks, Regotiable throughout the civilised world, The safe deposit vaults are modern in every detail. They are made of torch-proof, drill-proof and explo- sion-proof steel. The thickness of the vault door alone ta eighteen inches and weighs eighteen tons. Jt is equipped with. twe combination - locks and four time locks. Tho bank is a member of the Fed- eral Reserve System and issues its own money known an National Bank Notes, bearing the signatures of ita president and cashier, both of whom are colored men.

LET'S PUT IT OVER THE SORT OF EDUCATION AFRICANS NEED AFRICANS in Africa and out of it need the same sort of education that Europeans need, and as the Europeans and Americans have been for fifty years shaping their educational systems to what they need so must Africans at home and abroad do it. University education is out of the reach of the average person, and such education is of the very best possible, because it prepares persons to teach others how to make the most of their opportunities in the departments of industry they may have an aptitude for. That is to say, specialized education for the average has become necessary because industry has been specialized, and the world's work is done by the average person. In commerce, in finance, in industrial pursuits, it has become necessary that a person master the phase of an occupation he expects to make a life work of. He cannot and he would have no need of an education in all of the departments of human activity. He needs only to master that phase of the world's work he selects to engage in. It is along lines of specialized education to fit in the specialized work of the world that the educational systems of Europe and America have been developed and are being developed. The person without such specialized training may expect to fall into the ranks of unskilled labor, even when he has a common school education, and the skilled labor has the hardest and poorest paid of all the many occupations. He is needed, of course, and could not be got along without, and we shall, therefore, always have him and plenty of him, to do the foundation work of digging and cutting and clearing away and developing, under the direction of the master workman. Very few wage earners are satisfied with their lot and the low wages and conditions of living it imposes upon them, and they are striving all of the time to better their lot or to get away from it. Labor organizations throughout the world have this as their objective, and they have accomplished a great deal in bettering the wage and living conditions of wage earners, but they can never hope to get on equality in these respects with those who are educated in such a way as to meet the specialized conditions of the world's thought and work. That is very well understood. The Communists want everything to be in common, share and share alike—a condition which does not make much headway against the specialized competitive system upon which modern industrialism has developed. The African needs to have education of the hand as well as of the head. He needs education in the science of agriculture, commerce, finance and of civil government, with the necessary education in morals, and he wants to know how to distinguish diamonds from pebbles and gold dust from sand. Because of lack of education in these essentials the Negro in Africa has been deprived of his country and his lands and labor and government taken from him by the white races of Europe and America. If he is to recover what he has lost through ignorance he must do it solely through education in his own essential values—his man values, his self-governing values and his land and labor values. Thus far his education has been directed by the white races and has aimed primarily to teach him how to die rather than how to live, how to lay up his treasures in heaven rather than on earth—while his teachers, be it observed, have had regard to grabbing all of the material values possible first and having regard to spiritual values when they had done so. The policy of the Universal Negro Improvement Association is to give the Negro such practical education as to teach him his social, civic and economic values everywhere, and how to make the most and not the least of them. A great university on the James River, therefore, is a necessary institution to the carrying out of the educational policy of the association. We have the institution; it remains for the membership to sustain and develop it. FRANCE AND HER COLONIES AND HER THREATENED BANKRUPTCY WE used to have some disposition to regard France as the most capable and sympathetic of the European colonizers in Africa and Asia, but this was before the World War, when in Senegal and Morocco, and especially in Morocco, the French policy was to educate the natives and to employ them generally in the civil and military departments of the colonial government. This was made to appear to be the policy but it may have been camouflage. There is so little truth in what is allowed to get into print as to what the white races are really doing in their government of Africans and Asiatics that we have come to accept all such with a big grain of salt. Indeed, a strict censorship of news and opinion has been established in most of the European colonies, and nothing hurtful to the interests of white domination is allowed to get out of the country, or countries, so the case may be. This policy is carried so far that Nigeria from the United States and the West Indies are not allowed to land in the African territories, even as religious tensions, without a severe extermination, and, even when they get by, are kept under strict circumstances. This rule, we understand, applies as well as applies in the university's services, who are not even allowed there until in African ports. army in Egypt and the Middle East, as Germany did when her army briefly held the city which over the world. France has at the junge time waged a safety and destructive war in Morocco, and could only conquer the rebellious Arabs with the assistance of decadent Spain, which the Arabs had whipped out of North Africa, and she is now doing the same dirty work in seeking to conquer the rebellious Syrians, over whom she has a mandate, the vulgar destruction of Damascus, said to be the oldest city in the world, being one of the most criminal acts of war in the recent history of mankind. In prosecuting the war in Morocco and Syria, and building up a great army in Europe, France has spent billions of francs and sacrificed thousands of lives, and she is still spending and sacrificing the lives of her soldiers and murdering the Arabs of Morocco and Syria and destroying the property of their people. France came out of the World War practically a bankrupt, owing billions of francs to Great Britain and the United States, but this did not prevent her statesmen from building up a great army and prosecuting a costly war in Morocco and Syria. The loss of money and men was more than the country could stand. The franc began to depreciate in value and the credit of the country to fall to the lowest levels. That is the case today. It all places France in a bankrupt condition, where she can't conduct her government properly nor pay her honest indebtedness to Great Britain and the United States, and there have been violent outbreaks in Paris against British and American tourists because of dissatisfaction with the debt question, which the French would really like the debtors to cancel, as a free gift, with a disposition to repudiate it if the creditor nations refuse, as they do, to cancel it. A bankrupt should live within his means and seek to pay his honest debts, or his creditors should make him do it. RELIGIOUS WARS AND THE PEACE OF THE WORLD THE open war which has broken out between the government of Mexico and the Catholic Church is felt throughout Chris- tendom, and is taken notice of in Africa and Asia, because the principle involved touches all of mankind at one point or another. The question at issue is, who shall rule? The people, through their organized governments, with persons selected by themselves, or the Roman Catholic Church through bishops and priests selected by the Roman Catholic Church in Rome. The Mexican authorities and people hold to the principle, which is held alike by the people of the United States, that State and Church, religion and politics, must be kept separate and distinct. So far the principle has prevailed progressively since the Protestant revolution headed by Martin Luther that separation between State and Church shall prevail. Before the Protestant Revolution and long after the Catholic priesthood ruled the Christian world, the separation of Church and State has been a slow and bloody process, but it has been accomplished, and there is small reason to expect there will ever be a reaction to the old order. But there is no real brotherhood among the Christian nations. They are constantly warring among themselves. So it is with the Catholic and Protestant sectaries—there is no agreement among them as to unified doctrine or government. The individual Christian will rob another as readily as he will a Pagan or Heathen. Personal advantage and gain animate alike the Christian nation and the Christian individual. Strife is the result, eternal strife, with physical war always a possibility. Nor are the people of Asia and Africa any better off than those of Europe and the Americas in respect of warring religious factions. Moslems and Buddhists and Confucianists and Shintoists, and a hundred smaller sects have no agreement among themselves and no toleration the one for the existence of the other, and they all work to keep the tribes and states and individuals of Asia and Africa and their subdivisions in a state of war or antagonism that makes for disunion and strife. If it were not for this disunion and strife the white races would not have such an easy thing of conquering and ruling and exploiting the peoples of Asia and Africa. The white races do manage among themselves to zone and mandate and rule the Asiatic and African, but they do this in spite of the Christian churches rather as statesmen working outside of the churches and often over the protest and organized opposition of the churches, which in extreme cases, as in the matter of the Belgian atrocities in the Congo, endeavor to assert the principle of the Brotherhood of Man. Today there is much religious doubt and unrest in the Americas, in Europe, in Asia and in Africa, and the peace of the world is threatened by reason of this underlying religious confusion, which Christian statesmen take advantage of to advance the interests of the Mammon of unrighteousness—which spells the subjugation and exploitation of non-Christian and weaker peoples. More's the pity. EDITORIAL OPINION OF THE NEGRO PRESS Wisdom should be seasoned with courage and impartiality, looking even mainly to the highest good and the largest possible service in making a choice of the leader.—Star of Zion. Fear and faith spring from a common root in language. Their similarity is very apparent. Fear is responsible for the "ghosts" of life—the unreal, harrowing, uncanny materializations which hover like the odor of damp sepulchres around our being. To banish the "ghosts" of your life is necessary for the attainment of success.—Cleveland Herald. It may be true that we do not get all we should have, or all we think we should have, but who does?—Christian Recorder. As long as this million Negroes in Alabama are a part of it (and that is going to be a very long time yet), Alabama is going to be, in a very large measure, just what they are. If they are ignorant, Alabama will be largely ignorant. If they become prosperous, intelligent and happy factors in its industry, Alabama will be so much raised to the high level it desires and so far advanced toward the goal it seems—Birmingham Reporter: It is a shame that the Negro being a part of the thought, conscience and people of the community should live in dreadful fear that the white man would softly deceive him of his just rights. Alabama independent Color should be no far where pre-competed by ability and means in the nature of the school. Certainly the only line should not be drawn in a colored school nor any pattern whatever. The man who drew this line are out of joint with the spirit of the class. They are making the figure simply through the colored materials who answered them and whom they foist upon us as leaders.—Boston Chronicle. Standards are higher everywhere. The Negro teacher must know more; the Negro preacher must know more; so the Negro doctor and the Negro lawyer. So the Negro mechanic and the Negro laborer. All are seeing the great need of education—not for show, but for efficiency.—The Christian Recorder. Left to plead our own cause, we can beat the world with the sincerity of our purpose and the justness of our cause, but what we seem to lack and what militates against our success is the failure to practice what we preach.—The Christian Recorder. The remedy for laziness is enforcement of the law. Trying to buy peace with sacrifice of principle is a futile gesture. The Monic law, an eye for an eye, continues to be the active principle of life, and no man can do harm to another without having it come back to him with interest.—Kansas City Call.

WHICH SOLLES ARE NOT SUPERSTITIUES—NOT Booters Cities Old Medical Medicine — Old Superstitions Fisherish Despite All Advances Made by Science Medical superstition, almost an old as civilization itself, still persists in America, despite the advance of science, and in some cases constitutes a real menace. Racial superstitions of sons of toil and medical "notions" of men of leisure, combined with the middleman's faith in cults and bottled cures, back back the health of today, the city health commissioner and two physicians of Bellevue Hospital told the Associated Press. "Superstitions with regard to communicable diseases are a means today," said Dr. Louis I. Harris, health commissioner. "It is less picturesque, but more dangerous, for a parent to prescribe the thumping of the spine of his child, ill with diphtheria, instead of the use of anti-toxin, than it ever was for a man to carry a horse chestnut in his pocket as a cure for rheumatism. "The drug diagnosis is a dangerous practice of the sick man, who makes a snap decision on what is asking him and goes into a drug store and purchases his own 'suitable' remedy. For him 'malaria' often covers a cancer, tuberculosis or some other serious disease." Among the amusing superstitions recalled by Dr. Harris are the use of the bread and butter poulence for boils, the tying of a piece of pork about a sore throat and the many weird mixtures of the Chinese pharmacopia made of bugs, herbs, weeds and small animals. "Red flannel as a bodily tallism and the molasses and sulphur of spring's most common internal approach may be passed, according to Bellevue's medical authorities, but there remain many odd racial and regional superstitions with which they come in contact. "Babies of Assyrian mothers come in with their eyes heavily ringed with a thick, black substance, rather like graphite," said Dr. J. E. Button, pediatrician of Believeue. "On inquiry, they tell us that it is a mysterious mineral that is obtainable only in Beirut. They send home for it because 'it makes the babies' eyes strong." Polish and Slavic mothers will not cut the lumpy sparks that collect in their children's hair. To do so would be 'bad luck,' they say—the lumps give protection against the 'evil eye.' "Also, we have the greatest difficulty in persuading some mothers to wash the tops of the babies' heads—the cradle caps—which they don't dare to touch for fear of injuring the child's brain. "The most harmful medical fallacy that seems to be particularly cherished in well-to-do families today is the idea that to expose a child to sunlight will permanently injure his eyes," said Dr. C. H. Smith, senior Pediatrician of Bellevue. "We are many children with rickets, a bone deficiency disease, who have become so because their parents carefully shield them from the sunlight. "Every child needs sunlight, and the more tanned children are the better it is for them. Mothers should realize that they can lay their very young children to their sides in the sun, and so shield their eyes or arrange their caps in such a way that their eyes alone are protected. Every child should have at least an hour's sunlight daily." ISRAEL ZANGWILL, JEWISH PROPHET. DEAD AT 6 (From the New York World) Israel Zangwil, dead at sixty-two deserves to be remembered as a great minority leader. He was such a big factor in vitalizing movements to help the Jews that he made major issues of his personal hopes. In his outstanding fiction, "Children of the Ghetto," first published in 1832, he presented portraits so richly human and sympathetic that they live today. In founding the International Jewish Territorial organization he suggested aids for alleviating congestion and hardships in the great cities and enlisted the help of such men as Jacob Schiff and Edmond罗德罗 Rothschild in a movement to divert Jewish immigration from New York to Texas. In his Zionist activities he burned with the zeal of the ancient prophets, and although controversy maimed his effectiveness there was no abatement to his energy. It should be remembered that he has always been practical and lived intensely in his own generation; this naturally led him into close relations with the United States. "Children of the Ghetto" was the first production as a play in New York city; this city and nation also welcomed his lighter comedies of manners, such as "Theorie-Comic Governance" and "Nurse Marijeria," and he proved his awareness of American problems by writing his most successful play, "The Melting Pot," around one of them. His plays of the last fifteen years were too heavily indebted to opinions to prove audience, but they reflected the vitality of his mind; in those years his best officers were given to the Hessian came here his sixty-two years as teacher, navigator, dramatist and propagandist he covered the lives of a dozen men. turn to assist them soon. They cannot hurt you too badly without injuring their own future. And they are both so scandalous and unworthy to take too much charge on that.

Fresh Air and the Fountain of Youth "Brushing youth-plenty of N—given away free to anyone for the asking." Imagine a car-card making this startling announcement. The donors of the marvulous gift would be belonged by the thousands of people, judging from what we know of human nature and the searches for the Fountain of Youth that have been made through the age, starting even before the day of Ponce de Leon. The Fountain of Youth has not been discovered. But the nearest approach one can have to everlasting youth is health. Part of the joy of youth is an alert, open mind, ready to tackle new things, to explore, to challenge. These things come with a sound mind in a healthy body. A good way to keep healthy is to get plenty of fresh air. Sleep with your windows wide open, keep your house and office well ventilated, and spend as much time as you can out-of-doors. Breathe deeply while you are outdoors and take as much outdoor exercise as possible. No one can offer you everlasting youth. But fresh air, which builds up health which, in turn, gives some of the spontanity of youth, can be had for the taking. Civilization and Culture Count—Not Racial Stock WASHINGTON, Aug. 7.—In a recently written discussion of the immigration policy, Roy L. Garis and V P. Calverton raise once more the question of racial "superiority" and "inferiority"; and an unbiased observer says that the first writer adheres to the old dogma of the "Nordic" while the last maintains that it is a mistake to confuse the problem of immigration with race prejudices. The observer continues by saying: "Many erroneous and misleading conclusions have been drawn from so-called 'intelligence tests.' Those supporting the 'Nordic' myth have often been prompted by dislike of certain non-Nordic strains. Those opposing it have given velled expression to their resentment that certain races were looked down upon by the older immigrant stock." However, according to M. Gino Speranza, author of the volume, "Race or Nation," the important thing for the future of America does not in the assumed "superiority" or "inferiority" of the newer immigrant stocks, but in the differences in point of view, tradition and social and political background of the peoples from Southern and Eastern Europe. "Two hundred years ago Daniel Deice in his True-Born Englishman, went to no little pain to show his fellow countrymen, who at that time were scornful of forlencers," they were, in fact, a mongrel race, having in their veins the blood of Romans, Britons, Celts, Scots, Danes, and various Germanic tribes. This is true today of most of the Americans who are descended from the earlier immigrants. There has been a constant blending of bloods. The important thing is that at no time during the early history of America was there a sufficiently large infux of persons with allen traditions to undermine or overthrow the civilization and culture developed here. There have been changes and modifications, to be sure. But none has been subversive. The instinct that seeks to gain time for the nation to absorb the large masses of aliens with different traditions before the immigration bars are again raised must seek its justification not on the grounds of fictitious racial superiority," but on the realization that too large masses of unassimilated aliens may become a danger to the social and political organization of the United States."—C. P. B. BUY FROM A NEGRO (From the Washington Tribune) From the Washington Tribune The business interests of the group do not belong entirely to the individuals who operate them. They are to a greater extent the property and responsibility of all of us and of the posterity of each of us. How long will we continue to be traitors to our own interests? The world respects money and its possessor—the individuals or the group. The more we buy from our group, the more respect the world will accord all of us. Sentiment Against Lynching From the Savannah Friars (White) Many years ago the only protest against lynching and other forms of lawlessness cane from the Negro press, and the very few white persons who had the courage of their convictions. In this respect there has been a great change. Today the white dailies and weeklies of the South join with the other law lovers in deering lawlessness. This has been the cause of the depleting lynching record, especially that of the first six months which compelled the Atlanta Constitution to remark: "The record thus far in the South is a marvelous improvement over that of a few years ago when we usually had more lighthouses in one state in six months than is now shown in the eastern South and Southwest combined. It is a courageful spirit—the spirit of law enforcement as against burglars and all that is contrary to civilization and good government. It should be a lynchman year in Georgia, and the last half should see a redeeming hope in Florida. We cannot hope to develop and progress enduringly if we struggle upon him, and give the mob the right of way. Fortunately the mob spirit, too, is present." Harvish Mishra of India survived by Rohan Bose officer—BIRD Piggie Fort Impulse to Migration (From the New York World) LONDON, Aug. 2.—Filipino returning from the camp of the Star in the East at Ommem, Heiland, gave ove witness accounts today of the apparent possession by a spirit of J. Krishnamuril, the young InTian, whom they believe to be the chosen vehicle for, the coming of the world teacher. While they were in camp they were under pledge not to talk with outsiders, but now they are bursting with the wonder of their experience. A retiree officer, thirty-seven years to a creek British military artillery regiment, said: "It happened at the evening campfire, while Krishnamurti spoke of the good life. I suddenly felt an overwhelming impulse to remove my hat reverently. I noticed the men in front doing the same. Two thousand of us were around the camp-fire. I was at a little distance. I am certain I saw a shudder run through Krishnamurti's body, but I can't say whether his expression changed. "I was conscious that another voice than Krishnamurti's was speaking. The voice used old English, which Krishnamurti has never done. This continued four or five minutes, then Krishnamurti sat down. I was conscious of the utter stillness. "Not only the 2,000 pilgrims, but the very insects in the trees, were quiet, and even the fire stopped crackling. We felt we had all become parts of one vast body. I should judge the silence last ten or fifteen minutes." The officer said he had never had an experience with the occult before. Another, a Cambridge graduate physicist now experimenting with the microscope so that his eyesight is specially trained, declared he saw a "mage star over Krishnasururu's head burst into fragments and come raining down. For an instant I thought I was back in France." This was observed on two successive nights. Missouri Negro Soldier Memorial WASHINGTON, Aug. 7.—A meeting in the interest of a state-wide movement to erect a memorial building to Negro soldiers, on the campus of Lincoln University, Jefferson City, Mo. was recently held at Memorial, Missouri. Lincoln Institute was founded in 1866 by colored veterans of the Civil War, and was created a university by the general assembly of Missouri under the administration of Governor Arthur Hyde, largely through the work of Waltshall Moore, a colored member of the house from St. Louis. For many years the colored people have looked forward to a memorial building on the campus of the university in honor of its founder and the colored soldiers of the state. The present movement seeks to erect a modern brick and stone memorial building to cost approximately $25,000.—C.P.B. Financing Farmers WASHINGTON. Aug. 7 — Negro farmers throughout the United States will be interested in the Ninth Annual report of the Federal Farm Loan Board for the year ended December 21, 1925, which shows that loans aggregating $2,106,155,263 were made to farmers since the organization of the system in 1916. The report shows that 379,875 farmers had been loaned a total of $1,169,-356,599 through 4,925 national farm loan associations; that direct loans aggregating $624,628,615 had been made to farmers through joint-stock land banks. These had been made to the borrowers upon real estate security. Through the Federal intermediate credit bank, also a port of the system, $159,910,084 had been loaned to cooperative marketing associations, secured by staple agricultural products placed in warehouses. In addition to the above notes of farmers amounting to $98,221,-065 had been rediscounted for financial institutions. The largest number of loans, through national farm loan associations, were made in the State of Texas, followed by Mississippi, Alabama, Arkansas and Louisiana. Texas also led in the number of national farm loan associations followed by North Dakota, Minnesota, Georgia and Missouri.-C.P.B. Poughkeepsie Girl Wins Cornell Scholarship NEW YORK, Aug. 7.—Miss Grass Peterson, who graduated with honors with the 1926 class of Poughkeepsie High School, has just been notified that she was one of the winners of the State Scholarships to Cornell University, through competitive commissions taken on June 4, 1926. Miss Peterson made a Grade A rating of 268% points and stood a second to a white boy who also made Class A, with 268% points to his credit. Only five competitions in the entire state successfully met the Cornell tests, and Miss Kimpson, who is only 16 years old, was the greatest runner-up to first place, and she was the regular B.

EXTRAORDINARY MASS MEETING 8:30 P.M. when the greatest orators, statesmen and leaders of the Negro Race will deliver special messages. AT A MASS MEETING IN THE WORKERS' HALL, JOHANNESBURG, LAST SUNDAY, PROMINENT LEADERS OF THE AFRICAN PEOPLE'S ORGANIZATION PLEDGED THE SUPPORT OF THEMSELVES AND THEIR COMRADES TO THE NATIVE WORKERS IN THE FIGHT AGAINST SEGREGATION. Mr. Fredericka, organizing secretary of the A. P. O., referring to Hertzog's press局, said: "Colored people in this country, who think they will be put on the same level as the white men, will be bitterly disappointed. No government has tried more to divide us than the present one. . . . The first thing that Tielman Noss did when he got into power was to bring back that rule of the old Beer republic—women's passion. We must at least give the H.A.P. credit for not enforcing women's passion, although they were frequently petitioned to do an." As an example of Part segregation the speaker referred to the notices on the livestock on the railway stations. These used to read "Amadedea," "Abadefal," meaning "men" and "women" for natives and "Genticemen" and "Ladder" for Europeans. Now the minister had been allowed to real "Non-Europeans." (Laughter.) This was how the Government gave the colored people a speciality with Europeans. There was going to be a clear-cut line between white and black. It would be like America, where a Negro might be pitch black or almost white, but remained a Negro just the same. $1.50 Per Month Bearing to the terrible conditions under which native worked, Mr. Prodrich said that he met a native in the Eastern Province recently who was working on a farm for 7/8 per month. This man received in addition his food, which consisted of three buckets of mollusc meal per month plus a "mear snap" (a lean sheep). The buckets of mollusc meal were not even full buckets and the contents of the three might easily be put into one. When this unfortunate worker had exhausted his monthly ration he bought more meal from the farmer, who took the price off the wages at the end of the month. There was not often much left of the seven shillings and sixpence. The Poll Tax Ordinance was supposed to allow exemption to indigents, that it, to people who are considered too poor to pay the tax of one pound yearly. But this man who earned 7/8 per month was no longer as an indigent and was expected to pay up and look pleasant. As a result of propaganda carried out in the Crudock district, natives were refusing to sell their labor power unless the employer undertook to pay the tax. Consequently the farmers had petitioned the Government to take away the tax! But although natives earning starvation wages were not considered indigents, white men on the railway earning ten shillings per day were spoken of as "poor whites." South Africa was a funny country. If a white man with a wagon and span of oxen came into Bloomfontein selling firewood, people would point to him and remark, "He is a poor white; all he has in the world is that wagon and those oxen." But if they saw a COLORED man with the same outfit, they would say, "That is a very rich colored man; that wagon and those oxen all belong to him!" The speaker concluded by stressing once more the necessity for the oppressed races to stand together. "We do not wish the white man any harm," he said. "Our motto should be, 'Up with the native and colored man!' not 'Down with the European.'" The meeting concluded with the singing of the "Red Flag."

The hall was filled with an enthusiastic crowd from an early hour. A splendid musical program was rendered, after which the usual speech-making followed. Hon. F. A. Toote, acting President-General, occupied the chair, and among those on the platform were Hon. F. Levi Lord, Chancellor; Hon. W. A. Wallace, Secretary-General; Hon. P. L. Burrows, Assistant Secretary-General; Madame M. L. T. De Mena, Assistant International Organizer, and Rev. Dr. J. H. Chase, of Elizabeth City, N. C. The address of the evening was delivered by Dr. Chase, who said he felt himself honored at the opportunity to say a few words to the members of the parent division of the greatest Negro organization in the world. In the course of his speech, replete with apt illustrations, he told of the great worth of the work in which his hearers were engaged, and paid a splendid tribute to the imprisoned leader, the Hon. Marcus Garvey, whose achievements, he said, would only be properly appraised in the light of history. Speeches were also delivered by Hon. W. A. Wallace and Madame De Mena. The chairman, Mr. Toole, made the appeal for funds and referred briefly to the New York immigroglio, brought about through the overweening ambition of Messrs. George A. Weston and G. O. Marke, who seem to believe that God ordained that Marcus Garvey should go to prison so that they, worthy, capable, patriotic, honest sons of Ham, should lead the organization, which Garvey brought into being, to undreamt of heights of success. MADAME DE MENA'S ADDRESS Madame M. L. T. De Mena was the first speaker. She confined her remarks to the New York situation, where, she said, a few unprincipled individuals were seeking to make capital cut of the imprisonment of the greatest Negro leader the world had ever seen. She rejoiced, however, that the rank and file of the association had learnt their lessons so well that no amount of chicanery and hypocrisy could swerve them from their purpose. HON. W. A. WALLACE'S ADDRESS Men. W. A. Wallace next spoke. He said he had just returned from a trip to the middle west, where he visited various divisions in the interest of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. He was glad to say that throughout his tour he found a wonderful spirit manifested on all sides, showing that the people were very receptive to the association's program.

But he had little difficulty in explaining the situation which had arisen to the satisfaction of all, and the people were determined to give allegiance only to the Executive Council, which comprised the elected leaders of the people. "There cannot be two kings on one throne at the same time," he continued. "This Executive Council, as elected at the Detroit convention, is at present the king on the throne of the Universal Negro Improvement Association under the advice of the President-General Hon. Marcus Garvey, and it proposes to maintain that position and sustain its supervision over all divisions and chapters of this organization, whether they be in New York or elsewhere. No Compromise "There is no compromise in this matter, and the filbustering and destructive tactics adopted by George Weston and others, with whom we have exercised too much patience already, will avail them nothing, for they must come down and step aside, as this cause shall move on. "The sacrifices we have made for the cause shall not be in vain because of the egotism and selfish ambition of any individual. The interest of the race is at stake, and he who would get in the way of its progress will be crushed without mercy. The people want unity within and action in pushing forward the cause; not continued dissemination of seditious propaganda for the purpose of confusing and dividing. Under the leadership of our Acting President-General, Hon. Fred A. Toote, we have done much in the short time this administration has been in power, with the limited means we have had, and we are determined to stand by him while he continues to how to the line, until more is done and Marcus Garvey is again acting as our active head. Negro leadership we are emphasizing, and the people have chosen Marcus Garvey for their leader, and none other shall be recognised while he lives." Rev. Dr. J. H. Chase, of Mimbeth City, North Carolina, was the last speaker. At the onset he congratulated the membership upon the splendid work they were doing and wished them continued success. He, the speaker, was not looking for a job—he was not even a member—so he wanted them to feel that what he said came straight from the heart. There was a time when he, like others, instead advance at the activities of the Minibeth Carvery, but he . . . a new com- Miss Josephine Baker is the dainty comedienne of the "In Bamville" Company, the most prestigious and costly musical comedy ever produced by the people of our group.

Many people, daily, saw Joe; but few know his name or anything about him, and, meaningly, none cared to know. He was a Nedro and conducted a shoe shining stand in a large downtown store. He kept at his work, steadily, twenty-six years and never took a vacation. There is little romance in that fact. But Joe had a reason for not taking a rest. He had special use for the money he earned. Working with him were ten colored boys. All of them were attending high school, college, or night school, and Joe saw to it that their tuition was paid. He did not need the ten boys in his work, but the ten boys needed the money for their education, and so they were given work. They represented only a small number of the colored boys who had received their education through Joe. For a quarter of a century he had been helping boys through school. Joe himself was educated and would have been fairly "well off" if his earnings had not been dispensed so prodigally. At one time Booker T. Washington tried to hire him as private secretary. But Joe felt that he would be of more use to the colored people of Cleveland.

Cake with Riderless Horse Given Prince of Wales LONDON.—Fun was poked at the Prince of Wales recently by the London Co-operative Bakery which presented him with a birthday cake, the decorative frosting whereof depicted a saddled, and galloping but riderless horse. Some of the Prince's friends interpreted the frosting as representing some of the Prince's misadventures in the hunting field. vinced beyond all question that Marcus Garvey was on the right path and that there could be no salvation, no real salvation, for the Negro except along the lines advocated by the great leader. Much was being said in some quarters of the troubles which the U. N. L. A. had to encounter. He wanted to say, however, that these so-called troubles were nothing. Troubles were but the stepping-stones to success, and the greater the obstacles that appeared in the way, the greater should be their determination to press on so that they might be overcome. The speaker ended with a stirring exhortation to the membership of the Association to stand by its leader, the Mon. Marcus Garvey, and the Mon. Fred A. Toote, who was carrying on in his absence. The latter had impressed him as a very earnest and capable young man, one who had the welfare of the race at heart, and to his mind all he required was the same unfinishing support which would be accorded the great leader were he not behind prison walls. Given this, Mr. Toote, he was sure, would hand over to the chief-train as great, if not a greater, organization in the near future. Are you always "TIRRED" and "KNOCKED" out.

Remains of a whole series of ancient Roman temples have been unearthed at Trier, Germany, on the Moselle, by Dr. Siegfried Loecklin of the provincial museum at Trier. Archaeologists regard the find as of great importance, inasmuch as no previous discoveries had been made giving any indication of the religious life of the people during the period of Roman occupation, though other Roman ruins were known there as well as in other cities of mouth Germany, says the Kansas City Star. Examination of the earth strata overlying the locations dates the buildings as belonging to about the first Christian century. Though the workmen who built the temples and made the statues were Romans, or at least followed the Roman patterns, the gods were not Roman deities. They seem to belong to the ancient Celtic tribes who were the earliest historic occupants of the lower Rhine Valley. There were several divinities entirely new to modern mythological science, including a goddess named Ritona and another named Aveta. --- Spanish Section SECCIÓN EN ESPAÑOL per La Acomunidad Universal para el Adelanto de la Catedral Nuestra 54-56 Oeste, Colle 135, Cidad de Nueva York, N.

De rescuar a la patria La immigración judicia en el nuevo hogar de esa grupo, la Palestina, ha aumentado considerablemente y suera a la de los otros países. Según estadísticas del movimiento internacional hebro, esa nueva patria recibió un total de veinte y ocho mil setecientos judios el año pasado. La población total de judios que ha regresado alli hasta la fecha es de ciento treinte mil, con un promedio de dos mil quinientos que llegan mensualmente. Polonia contribuye en primer orden a dicha inmigración. El alo pasado regresaron de dicho pais diez v siete mil setecientos cuarenta y durante el presente año llegan en promedio de mil judios por mes. Entre las nuevas industrias que obtienen gran desarrollo en Palestina, se cuenta la producción y manufactura del tabaco. Su exportación se calcula asciende ya a diez millones de pesos anualmente. Plantaciones de varios frutos han tenido experimentos satisfactorios. El Cuerpo Directivo de nuestra organización ha proclamado la celebración de convenciones locales, en vez de una reunión internacional en el presente año, a partir del 15 de agosto hasta el 22 del mismo. El programa que publicamos en otra parte de esta sección, firmado por el honorable Fred A. Teote, presidente general interino y el honorable W. A. Wallace, secretario general, cubre las sesiones de los echo dias de convención. El movimiento internacional hebreo, organización de ese grupo, ha reclectado al presente un total de mas de doce millones para la reconstrucción de Palestina. Dicha organización ha recibido contribuciones de treinta paises distintos, hallandose a la cabeza de la lista la contribución de este país, con más de un millon por mes. Nadie podrá leer este programa delineado para la conducción de los asuntos que han de sancionarse en dichos conclaves locales, sin notar el hecho de que todos los intereses vitales de nuestro pueblo estan específicados en todos y cada uno de sus puntos. Un estudio minucioso de los tumas que han de someterse en cada sección, será prueba mas que convincente de que algo prático, algo beneficial ha de resultar en el intercambio de pensamientos y la determinación basada en el ideal de los participantes en dichos debates. El pueblo judío, como todo pobre debil, ha sido por años y años victima de la injusticia. Doquiera hacía su aparición este elemento, se le mofaba y se le maltrataba. Pero su espiritu industrioso le ha colocado en una situación económica tal que ha hecho cambiar por completo la paça consideración de que erá objeto y le vemos actualmente capitaneando grandes empresas industriales y financieras. Su actitud, en lo que a su enaltecimiento respecta, es una lección práctica para nuestro propio elemento. El sentimiento internacional infuncirá animo en los miembros, por las medidas de previsión que hayan de tomarse en esas reuniones de las divisiones y aunque de carácter local, tendrán aplicación general a todos los componentes de la organización y como consecuencia directa a los intereses de nuestra raza. Estas convenciones estaran distanciadas en cuanto a lugar concierne, pero unidas en lo que respecta al tiempo y a las materias que han de ser consideradas en ellas. Federación de obreros antillanes De acuerdo con la última disposición dictada por el Servicio de Cuarentenas de Jamaica, respecto a que todas las personas que lleguen a aquel país esten vacunadas y presenten sus certificados, velando como siempre por el bien de nuestros asociados hemos tenido una entrevista con el Dr. Jefe del Departamento de Santiago de Cuba, el cual nos ha prometido poner a la disposición de sus duenos algunos certificados que rezaban en su poder, lo cual hago publico para las personas que lo deseen. El espíritu entusiasta de nuestras comunidades, el cual fortifica nuestro todo racial, dejara sentir su influencia en estas convenciones locales. La alta concepción que tenemos de nuestro ideal con Un solo Dios, Un solo Objeto, Un solo Destino alentará a los miembros como si se viesen reunidos en un solo conclave internacional. Todo sentir, todo pensar, toda manifestación expresada en estas reuniones, tendrán su base en el mismo propósito, por cuya razón los resultados apetecidos, beneficiaran directamente nuestro movimiento para mejor encarrier la labor de la redención de una patria y la emancipación de una raza. Los grandes intereses de la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra, nunca fueron tomado en consideración como lo son al presente y la utilidad de ese magno movimiento nunca mas necesario para los pueblos negros del universo, los cuales luchan por obtener el reconocimiento de sus derechos como humanos y disfrutar del ejercicio de tales privilegios. La raza blanca trata de ejercitar a toda costa el derecho divino de subyugar, dominar y explotar las otras razas y a menos que estas no hagan un esfuerzo determinado y se mantengan firmes en contra de tal presunción, de tal quijotismo y de tal injunsticia, continuarán siendo las víctimas de siempre, el combustible en la maquinaria del maquiavelismo, el objetivo principal de la exterminación. Tal fue el funesto destino de los pieles rojas en America y de los malayos aborígenes de Australia. Advirtiendo que el que no tenga el certificado y tenga necesidad de embarcar para Jamaica, sera detenido para ser vacunado por la Sanidad Maritima de aquel país, siempre que no presente el certificado entregado por ese departamento, 28 North street, Kingston, Jamaica. Lo que hacemos extensivo a los socios y no asociados para que puedan obtener sus certificados, puidoendo pasar'a la Secretaria de Inmigración de Jamaica en esta ciudad, o por esta Federación para mejor informe de los interesados. ANGEL F. GRISAN, Presidente. Santiago de.Cuba, junio de 1926. Convenciones Locales El pueblo fuerte se aventaja de todos los puntos débiles de cualquier otro pueblo, para obtener de este último todo cuanto ambicione. Pero ya se guardará ese mismo pueblo fuerte de iniciar una campaña agresiva, al no ver la oportunidad para salir avante en su empresa ambiciosa. Es necesario, por consiguiente, el que nuestro pueblo en particular se ponga en condiciones de ser mirado con recelo por su potencialidad y determinación para hacerse respetar de los demas pueblos? Indudablemente que sí. Tal preparación es inminenteemente necesaria; no con el objeto de ganar diezmos y primicias a espensas de los indefensos, como es la práctica general, sino con el sentimiento honrado de defender y conservar lo propio, aquello que por ley natural u otro medio legal es propiedad exclusiva de nuestra raza. El Cuerpo Directivo de la organización, tomando en consideración la condición económica de sus miembros y realizando la ayuda rendida por las divisiones en la última convención celebrada en Detroit, desea expresar su mas sincera apreciación y exhortar el mismo espiritu en el futuro, para mejor servir la grande y noble causa de la raza, impresionando en la mente de todo descendiente de Etiopia el ideal de nacionalidad. En reconocimiento de la lealtad manifestada y en la certeza del soporte a toda empresa que tienda al bienestar de la raza en general, tenemos el honor de informar que no se celebrará convención internacional en este agosto de 1926, pero cada division, capitulo y ramal, celebrará su convención local, del 15 al 22 de agosto, para así estimular el interno y hacer que en cada comunidad resuelve el clamor de Un Dios, Un Objeto, Un Destino. El siguiente programa regirá en las convenciones locales: Damingo, agosto 15.—Parada seguida de gran masa meeting en el cual se haju eroción por el exito de la casa, hasta del mensaje del Presidente General specificando el propido de la convención, discursos por los oficiales, miembros y otras personas prominentes, recitaciones y números de música. Lunes, agosto 16.—Discución de la política de la organización sobre asuntos que conciernen a las comunidades en relación con la raza opuesta, tales como segregación, ignorancia de la franquicia, prejuicio racial, etc. Martes, agosto 17.—(Natalicio del Hon. Marcus Garvey). Discusión de los medios para la acquisition de nuevos miembros, hechos realizados por el honorable Marcus Garvey, su contribución a la civilización, su proceso y encarcelamiento. Miercoles, agosto 18.—Discusión de la necesidad de la educación y del establecimiento de escuelas y universidades para la educación independiente de la raza. Jueves, agosto 19.—Discusión de la influencia de la organización sobre la educación y la situación económica del negro, de la cooperación rendida por el Negro World en pro de esa gran influencia, de los medios para aumentar la circulación del Negro World asistiendo así a la organización para mantener dicha influencia. Viernes, agosto 20. — Discussion de la actitud del negro hacia la principales partidos políticos, de la menera como la organización puede impresarar mejor los diversos gobiernos con su programa. Sabado, agosto 21. — Organización de una excursion u otro entretenimiento para ese dia como recreo para los miembros, seguido este de una recepción, baile u otra diversión. Domingo, agosto 22. — Gran mass meeting de la convención, clausurando esta con un programa para esa tarde y noche.

IS THE WHITE RACE DOOMED? There are many been and brilliant minds trying at the present time to read the riddle of the future. Owing to the last war, and its consequence, there was never a period of history when there was so much uncertainty as to what is in store for mankind in the plot of fate. What is going to happen to us all during the next fifty years, to say nothing of the next hundred and the next thousand? Most of us would answer that question by saying no mortal man can tell. But there are prophets about who are bold enough to forecast the future, and who base their prophecies on any mystical gifts, but upon what they believe to be a scientific analysis of present conditions, which must, they say, lead to inevitable results. They are, unfortunately, prophets of pessimism, and if we believe what they say, fate has some very unpleasant history to unfold in the future history of mankind. During the past week I have been reading two books which sum up this philosophy of pessimism that has caught hold of many advanced thinkers of today. One is "The Origins of the Next War," by John Bakeless; the other, "Today and Tomorrow," by J. H. Curle. Mr. Bakeless, who is an American writer of great distinction, has made a most careful and scientific study of the social, political, and racial problems now lying beneath the surface of human life, and his conclusions are, to say the least, alarming. Lost War Decided Nothing He asserts that the last war decided nothing, and settled nothing. He is convinced that the same causes which led to that monstrous conflict are existing in more dangerous forms to produce another world explosion far worse than in 1914. In his opinion, the League of Nations and all talk about "The Spirit of Locarno," and all the efforts of sentimental pacifists will be made a mockery by racial and economic struggles which will be decided by ordeal of battle. Owing to the increase of populations in various lands, competition for the empty spaces of the earth and the raw materials of industry will become intensified. The instincts of race and its natural ambitions for self-preservation and development are stronger than before the last war. Mr. Bakeles gives us a map with the danger spots marked. They lie about Japan and a chain of islands leading to Australia. They are scattered over Europe, where the old Pan-Slav movement is stirring again; and where France, with a dwindling population, has made temporary alliances with weak states to hold back a growing Germany which must find more elbow room and capture new markets for hair manufactured goods. These danger posts are all along the Mediterranean, where Great Britain holds a series of strategic bases which cut across the inflamed ambitions of Italy, and threaten the free passage of a French native army from North Africa. There are hundreds of these signposts of danger on the may of the world today which may lead to the Armageddon of tomorrow. In the opinion of this writer, Mr. John Bakeless, nothing has been altered in the mentality of peoples or in the methods of statesmanship. Old nation prides, the arrogance of new era like Mussolini playing on their prides, and above all, the desperate urge of commercial competition are at the present time preparing for a new war more frightful than the last. Well, that is a gloomy outlook, if true. But the second prophet whose work I have been reading plunges even deeper into pessimism. In "Today and Tomorrow," by J. H. Curle, the writer forecasts the time when the white races of the world will have to put up a desperate fight for preservation against the Asiatics and colored people. At the present time, the white races, he thinks, are just playing for their own downfall by ignoring certain weaknesses which are sapping their mental and physical health. One of these weaknesses is what he calls "the make-believe of democracy," which takes the government and discipline of people out of the hands of those who have most knowledge and strongest character. It delivers a nation into the power of half-educated folk who get most of their ideas from a cheap press. They become weak-knotted Socialists, sentimental pacifists, and labor agitators, and are jealous of all that is superior to themselves so that their main idea of progress is to pull down what has been strongly built by wiser men. Worst of all. Mr. Curle sees the stamina of the white race in many countries weakened, poisoned, and ultimately destroyed by "breeding from the uilt." Modern science shapes alive the inviolate, the incubation, the half-witted, the hereditary weaknesses who produce more children than the intellectuals and the well-bred. Modern social mentality gives the date and other forms of relation to those who would otherwise die because they won't or can't work. Women have been allowed to legislate for men and to map the vi- READ GOOD BOOKS During Vacation Learn About Your Race and Its Future Destiny The Second Volume of the Philosophy and Opinions of MARCUS GARVEY, or AFRICA FOR THE AFRICANS With an account of the trial of Marcus Garvey that has stunned the legal and lay minds of the world 28 FULL PAGE ILLUSTRATIONS Price Volume I, $1.75; Volume II, $3.00 Combination offer, $4.50 You can now obtain wall cards, artistically printed, of epigrams from the sayings of the Hon.

The masses (the gyes) can neither govern nor choose wisely those who can. The gib tailor is more and more rising to power. As the masses gather force, so does the quality of men they collect steadily decline. The struggle between Capital and Labor leading to civil war will eventually lead to new wars between European states. So the program of weakness goes on among the white races while all the time the colored races are waiting and watching, masking their hatred, but feeding on it. Throwing Off White Domination The time is nearing (says Mr. Curle) when the meeks will be off, when we shall see the whole of Asia, and, it may be, all Africa as well, try to throw off white domination and come near succeeding. How democracy based on the opinions and the prejudices of the ignorant masses is going to handle an era such as this, I really don't know. One cannot put all that on one side with a shrug of the shoulders as the fantastic raving of morbid minds. This philosophy of possimism is not without some foundation of truth and fact. But where I differ from these possimistic prophets is in the question of democracy and its alleged weaknesses. I have very little patience with that stuff about "breeding from the unit". It is true that alums produce a C1 class, but the remedy is not to prevent slum people from having children, but to wipe out the alums. It is true that our present system of education has produced a large number of people who get most of their ideas from bad movies and the baser kind of newspapers, but the cure is not to abolish education but to improve it; not to destroy the liberty of democracy, but to ennoble it by a higher standard of character and thought. Democracy has its weaknesses and its follies, but dictatorship and autocracy produce more immediate dangers. The "clean sword" of Musculum is uncomfortably like the "shining sword" of Kaiser Wilhelm. Everywhere in the world, as far as I know it, the common folk want peace and security for their work and homes. They may be led away by problem, the instincts of nationality and resurgue may be too strong for them; they may be poor puppets in the hand of destiny working again toward some mighty struggle, but at least the only chance I see of preventing or postponing these evils is by the gradual development of education and wisdom among the masses. They will no longer breed from the unitt because they have attained a decent standard of life and will not allow their children to be used as gun fodder for the ambition of autocrats, or the folly of statement, or some point of national pride, or some sinister claim upon colored peoples desiring their own liberty and way of life.

After studying for centuries the flight of birds man has at last learned to fly, and in doing so he has outdistanced his living models in speed, in altitude and in carrying ability. Now, a study of the marvelous flying institution of the university. The known degree of the university is known as an institution, but had all been one institution to support the publicity that eventually ensured, may more triple the present admission spread result of 300 miles an hour. Dr. Charles K. T. Townsend, American osteopathist stationed at Jamaica-quebusta, Bonaul points out in the Popular Science Monthly that if we can learn to duplicate the action of the ophthalmoplex we shall be able to fly around the earth between curries and sunset of the longest summer day, or in about seventeen hours. To do this over the 18,865-mile circuit of the latitude of New York we should have to travel constantly at a speed of 435 miles an hour, or about fourteen miles a minute! This is as fast as the speed of projectiles of certain types of artillery. It sounds like a "pipe dream." And not, as Dr. Townsend remails, it was not so long ago that people gaped at the thought of traveling "a mile a minute." He reminds us, too, that it is not beyond the possible for man to duplicate with machines what other creatures have accomplished in natural locomotion. The fact remains that cophenomys does cover 815 miles an hour, or nearly 400 yards a second. With tremendous power stored in a body of extremely light weight, it moves so swiftly that it can be seen only as a blur or streak of color.

Golden Rule Is Cure For Racial Unrest To the Matter of The Negro World: Great unrest confronts the world today, owing to graft. The cure for this disease cannot be found in General conference, but in the instruction of Christ's sermon on the mount when he said, "All things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do so to them."

We, the Negroes, just awakened to do things for ourselves to make us recognized among the nations on earth in our land Africa. If our white brothers had accepted the teaching given by Christ on the mount, the oppositions and struggle that confront us today would never be. Instead of welcoming their helping hand to carry us to nationhood, as what they have done, we find their hands stretched across the way as the Red Sea before the Children of Israel. Must we be discouraged? No. The Hon. Marcus Garvey to us is like Moses at the Red Sea who tell his followers to wait on the Lord, who made a way through the Red Sea. And so we shall still listen to our leader, the Hon. Marcus Garvey, and in God for the liberation of Africa out of the hand of the oppressor. W. B. LEWIS. Costa Rica, Guacimo. Imprisonment of Leader Increases Determination To the Editor of the Negro World: It is quite enjoyable for us to think of the infinite possibilities which come to our recognition within the past eight years. Although every heart throbs with sympathy throughout the Universal Negro Improvement Association when we remember that our positive sole star is in prison. This gives us more determination to advance for we are assured that all the powers of earth and hell combined could not destroy the good feelings of the Negroes who are quite ready to give their last drop of blood for the cause. From the earliest dawn of history to the present day a veil has enshrined those mysteries which are love and unity. These are the truths which will make us free. But we are beginning to get in company with our subconscious selves in the vast and complex order of the day when science has swallowed up space and have strangled time with the electric cable as that distance seems nothing, our minds are in a state where it appreciates the value of higher things. The invisible teacher tells us that opportunity follows perception; action follows inspiration; growth follows knowledge; environment follows progress. As we have approached a new era, the golden age, the industrial emancipation for the Negroes who consider that their experiences should be no longer a football to fate and their opponents. We affirm that this is not a vision of the future, but is at our very door, and the door is open. We are conscious of the fact that we are creators and not mere creatures. Therefore, we are expecting to spread our flag to the breeze, in Africa where we can create that abundance which is our birthright. Let us lend a prayer in behalf of those who are fighting for our freedom.

AT YOUR BUSINESS OR SUPPLEMENT QUEEN MAIL ORDER HOUSE NEW ABERDEEN, Hamilton Orange, Box 64, New York City Tuesday night, July 12, will be long remembered by the members and many friends of the U. N. I. A. in Jamaica who were present at Liberty Hall of the Kingston division to hear the beautiful and inspiring lecture on the Belgian Congo, given by Mr. K. Garland Hall, who has been a missionary among the Bantu tribes in the Congo for twenty-five years. There was a large turn out of members and friends who are always eager to hear good news told of Africa, our motherland. On the platform were Rev. S. M. Jones, president. In the chair, Mr. B. Greene, lt vice-president; Mme Chas. D. Johnson, 2nd vice-president; Clifford E. Erlington, 3rd vice-president; U. A. I. Grant, I. C. Fraser, P. A. Alken, G. P. Liewley, R. Alderman E. M. McLaughlin, Mrs. G. G. Jones; lady president, Mrs. L. B. Alken; 1st lady vice-president, Mrs. M. Wilson; 2nd lady vice-president, Mrs H. McLood, and several other ladies. Dr. Bruce A. Forbes was also present. The chairman made a few brief opening remarks and introduced the great missionary to the audience. He told the gathering that in Mrs. Hall they would not find one who would paint the dark side of Africa as other missionaries have been accustomed to doing. He had much pleasure in introducing Mrs. Hall to the gathering. She rose amidst: great applause and said that she was only too pleased to address so interesting a gathering. From her very girlfriend she was struck by an appeal to go to work in Africa, and she had made that the goal of her ambition and she was pleased to report that she had done twenty-five years in Africa as a missionary. She felt that she had done her duty to her race, and she was here only to place before the audience the brightest pictures of Africa. She told of her travels in the Belgian Congo twenty-five years ago when there were no horses on mules on which to ride, and when the only railway, a marrow gugged one, only went a short way into the country. She spoke of the enormous wealth of the country in ivory, and how the natives are frightened by the Belgians to sell their ivory at very low prices to the traders, who in turn sell them so as to make large profits. She told of the great love for each other which characterises the people of the Bantu family. She told of their love for each other and their high regard for strict a mental character which our leader unfolds in the Universal Negro Improvement Association, thousands of Negroes shall be able to obtain a higher degree of pleasure and happiness from their environment in the future. It is truly the magic wand that bridges a chasm for the Negroes throughout the world, and if we practice the teachings of the association, we will be satisfied at the end because it reveals to us a world of life, of light, of love and beauty.

The speaker told of the efforts to convert the natives to Christianity, and how after many years of missionary training in African Congo where there were over thirty millions of people fifty thousand of them adopted Christianity. This seems to prove that if the African is to take on Christianity in a wholesome fashion, then they must be tutored by Negroes. The speaker ended her address by making a strong appeal to the audience to live only for Africa, and not to cease their endeavors to have a free and redeemed Africa. She sat down amidst wild applause from the large gathering. Questions were invited from the audience, and in reply to Mr. Chas. D. Johnson, Mrs. Hall said that the U. N. I. A was not much known in the Belgian Congo, so there is the great necessity to do all in our power to make the name of Hon. Marcus Garvey and the U. N. I. A. much more known in that part of Africa. In all our rejoicings in Africa we have to give the praise to Hon. Marcus Garvey for having opened our eyes so that today there is in us a great desire to know the truth about African mother-land. A vote of thanks was eloquently moved by Rev. Alderman McLaughlin, and seconded by Mr. Chas. D. Johnson and conveyed to Mrs. Hall, who suitably replied. The hymn "O Africa Awaken" was sung, and after a few closing remarks by the chairman, the National Anthum was sung, and the gathering dispersed. CHAS. D. JOHNSON. Reporter.

On Sunday, May 3, the members and friends of Consulate Chapter through the usual meeting place for the purpose of celebrating Garvay day. There was a good gathering: the religious service was conducted by the chaplain, Rev. J. McKay, followed by a selection by the choir. A splendid program was presented as follows: A Baptism and dedication of an infant as per ritual of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League, which was most solemnly performed by our chaplain, Rev. J. McKay, to the satisfaction of all present, after which little Wilfreda Jubotton was duly received in the general membership, and the colors of the Red, Black and Green were pinned on her gown in token that hereafter she may faithfully serve under the banner for the freedom of her race, and the redemption of her motherland, Africa. The chaplain then asked the audience to stand while he pinned on the lapel of the president, Mr. Abram Labega's coat, a medal from the Black Cross Navigation and Trading Company as a token of his service rendered to the race. At this juncture the officers, members and friends came forward one by one and shook the President's hand and congratulated him for his medal. The president, Mr. Labega, then thanked the audience for the honor conferred on him, and expressed his appreciation for the medal he received. He said that in 1944, in Phillipburg, St. Martin, the island in which he was born, he was asked by the government to represent the island in the exhibition which was held in the Island of Curacao, headquarters of the Dutch Colonies, and for which he carved three lions, representing the Dutch Anyone knowing the whereabouts of Eddie Bartling who left Boston, St. John's August, 1915, will know that he pleases notify Mrs. Deanna Sterling, 91 Porter Ave. Trenton, N.
