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." sales. = wo THE NEQR®-WORLD, SATUMBAY, AUGUST 14 igns Ss pis oe ” a te - ubtea ee ee fs. kee. ae dy. a : PGT OFFERED BY EMPLOYEE ee ————————______—_ Siy Qalh 4F Bgnk Teller Has Far-Reaching Repercus-| | £5, Crimelese St. Thomas slea—Bank Manager Gives His Views of Unfor-|| Thank N.

As Oa wae ae SARE | Language, Pas-Asian Bank and University for In the issue of The Negro World of July 31 there was published & photograph of a money order issued by the Canadian Bank of Commerce in favor of The Negro World for $10. The teller who wrete the order styled this paper “The Nigger World.” “Nigger” is an opprobrious term, and The Negro World is yet to be con- vinced that the teller was not giving vent to foolish prejudice or eeking 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 she Nearo 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 am convince the black man of a mythical inferiority and discour- age him in his march to power. And The Negro World is the accepted mouth-piece of the new Negro—the masses, the people thet count. The Canadian Bank of Com- wérce is a big institution with 551 Wrenches, as its manager states, aad it can be easily understood thst it can ill afford to offend a peopic.

Over a period ef years this bank has maintained very frlendly relations with nurabers of Your people ocattered over the whole of Canada, and we valge very much thelr good will and frienéship, and if for nothing else than purely comhmer- cial relations we would be foolish to Geliderately inowr the enmity of your people an the s-wsrgpec erticss 91m: to imply. Pereorally neither the writer, who is the manager of the branch, nor any other senior offeer had any knowledge of the transaction. Fer your information 1 may sey that it is the practice to supply the teller with books of money oréers bearing the signature of the manager or an officer acting for him, and this eddies him to leewe orders without delay. In thie particu- lar instance the teller claims he yunder- stood the order was to be made out as it eventually was, and we have no reason to think that he detberately intended to offer a slight te your rece. T truet you will convey this letter of ezplanation to the paper in question. with a request that they give it the same publicity as was given the orig- inal article, and it weuld be greatly pecveates 4 you wiK at the seme 4 convey to them an expecsston of your persondl opinien of the business relationship which has existed in the past between this branch -an@ your- elt.

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.

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.

A LET'S PUT IT OVER en cS THE SORT OF EDUCATION AFRICANS NEED E FRICANS in Africa and out of it need the same sort of edu : A cation that Europeans need, and as the Europeans anc : Ameritens have been for fifty years shaping their educa _ tional 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 erlucation is of the very best possible, because it Prepares persons to teach others how to make the most of their op- portunities in the departments of industry they <vay 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 Jndustrial pursuits, it hes. 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. Ie 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 sych specialized training may expect to fall into the ranks _ of wnsl , geen wien he has a common school education, ‘fortes ihr spe. tos 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 clear- ing 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 or- ganizations throughout the world have this as their objective, and they have accorpplished 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 every- thing 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 tu 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 (each 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 edu- cational policy of the association. We have the institution; it re- mains for the membership to sustain and develop it.

In prosecuting the was in Morocco and Syria, and building up a great army in Europe, France has spent billions of france and sacrifieed thousands of lives, and she js 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 prose- cuting 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 py her honest indebtedness to Great Britain and the United States, and there have been violent outbreaks in Paris against British and Amer- ican 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 HE open war which has broken out between the government | I 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 issué 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 pzevailed pro- gressively 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 stow 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 Chris- tian 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 threat- ened by reason of this underlying religious confusion, which Chris- tian statesmen take advantage of to advance the interests of the Mammon of unrighteousness—which spells the subjugation and ex- ploitation of non-Christian and weaker peoples.

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. Obtenganse los mejores oradores de la division y personas influyentes en la comunidad. Cantos, solos y otros números de musica deben incluirse en el programa del dia. A las divisions de la organización Todas las divisiones, capitulos y ramales de la organización que no hayan hecho aun sus reporters mensuales, deberan hacerlos a la mayor brevedad posible. Un esfuerzo debe llevarse a cabo para hacer los pagos de reportes ya vencidos. Todos los reportes y contribuciones deben ser enviados al Cuerpo Directivo, Oficina General de la Organización, 56 Oeste, Calle 135, Nfeva York, N. Y. Toda vez ocurran cambios en la oficialidad de las divisiones, el secretario de las mismas debe enviar immediatamente a esta secretaria general, los nombres y direcciones de los nuevos oficiales.

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.

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.
