The Negro World

A Newspaper Devoted Sister to the Interests of the Negro Race PRICE: FIVE CENTS IN GREATER NEW YORK TEN CENTS ELSEWHERE IN THE U.S. & A. TEN CENTS IN PORCINUM COUNTING NEW YORK, SATURDAY, AUGUST 21, 1926 HON. MARCUS GARVEY'S CONVENTION MESSAGE OF CHEER IMPRISONED LEADER REAFFIRMS HIS FAITH IN ULTIMATE SUCCESS OF THE MOVEMENT AND CALLS UPON DIVISIONS TO GIVE FULL SUPPORT TO PARENT BODY SAYS IMPRISONMENT HAS NOT DIMMED HIS VISION BUT ENABLES HIM TO SEE MORE CLEARLY THE SAFER AND SPEEDIER AVENUES TO COMPLETE SUCCESS A soulful message from the Hon. Marcus Garvey, Founder and President-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, now suffering imprisonment in Atlanta Penitentiary, Georgia, was read to thousands who assembled in mass meeting in New York on the occasion of the opening of the Convention of the New York Division on Sunday, August 15. The message was read by the Hon. Fred A. Trose, Acting President-General, and created a profound impression on the assembled thousands who rose and clattered as the great leader reiterated his undying devotion to the cause and expressed the firm belief that, in the long run, his imprisonment and persecution would only serve to hasten the day of Africa's deliverance. George A. Weston, the rebellious Vice-President of the New York Division, and George O. Mark, Supreme Deputy of the Organization until deposed, in March last, by the people in Convention assembled at Detroit, came in for scornful mention by the great leader, who sees in their recent amazing deeds and utterances in New York the hand of enemy forces against which he has had to fight so strenuously since the birth of the movement. The message is as follows: Parent Body, Universal Negro Improvement Association, 56 W.135th Street, New York City. From the request of your Acting President, Mr. Fred A. Toote, I take it that you desire an expression from me at this time as touching my attitude and feeling toward the conventions to be held by the various local divisions as from the 15th inst. I am glad at all times, even to personal injury, to say and do anything helpful to the work of the organization. It is the child of my dreams, and of my creation; therefore, it is my bounden and solemn duty at all times and under all circumstances to be loyal and true to its principles. My imprisonment for its cause has in no way divorced me from its sacred object, nor dimmed my vision of its glorious future, but has afforded me, through reflection and deep consideration, the more to see the safer and speedier avenues through which it shall achieve complete success. My imprisonment is but an incident in the organized spirituality of our cause through which we must naturally pass to see the light of the "Promised Land." In the stillness of the hours when thoughts become more sober and scientific we reflectively see the vision more clearly and the prompting of our hearts' beat, and our minds suggest greater methods of attaining the goal of Africa Redeemed. Personally I am not disturbed as touching the outcome. The mind has never been, and cannot be, imprisoned, and, through its Will, which in the great Cosmos plan of God bears a proportionate relationship to the Almighty Architect, we shall yet fix and determine the location of our habitation, and, through the accomplishment of all, sing praises to our God—the God of Africa, Great and Almighty. I am shocked, however, at the realization that even a dozen persons should have been found within the organization to give the appearance of encouragement to such racial rebels as Weston and Mark, to have them do harm to the sacred cause. Weston and Mark, like Judas of old, are the agents of those enemies and forces against whom I have had to fight for your salvation. Now that I have been removed they are being boldly used to defeat the ends; yet there are those who cannot see. In spite of the few, who, like the characters of another age, take advantage of the absence and predicament of the leader to deny the sacred cause of truth, I am as firm and steadfast in the faith as when I dwelt among you. I shall never forget the millions who are faithful and true. To them convey my best regards and heartiest good wishes. I ask that all Divisions firmly and regularly support the established program of the association through the Parent Body and thereby keep alive all the principles and policies. I have the honor to be, your obedient servant, Maranfany GREAT THRONGS CHEER ALL ALONG ROUTE AS CAR BEARING PORTRAIT AND OFFICIAL ROBES OF LEADER PASSES BY IN MONSTER HARLEM PROCESSION Vicious Propaganda of Enemy That Marcus Garvey Has Lost His Hard-Wen Place in the Hearts of the People of New York Is Destroyed NEW YORK CITY, Sunday, August 15.—Harlem, New York, the largest Negro community in the world, paid a remarkable tribute today to the greatest Negro in the world. And the tribute took on added significance because of the fact that the object of the adoration and adulation of the populace was not present in person, but languishing in a white man's prison, one thousand miles away from the scene of his triumph—imprisoned for using the United States mails to defraud in connection with the furtherance of the greatest program ever given to the Negro! If Marcus Garvey, now hemmed in by the walls of Atlanta Penitentiary, Georgia, could have slipped by his guards and appeared in New York and mingled with the crowd and heard the sincere and heartfelt comments of the multitude that was acclaiming him, he could have returned to his place of exile and considered himself fortunate that he was being made to suffer—knowledge of the silent, astonishing revolution he had created in men's minds would have more than compensated him for his sacrifice. World-Wide Celebration Marcus Garvey, founder and leader of the African Association, was in a felon's city, but throughout the world welegate under the aegis of the Red Cross giving praise to God for Garvey, all to further the work so glorious that the interest of Africa and its city, here was counsel extraordinary that in the world today persevere the leader, can stifle the aspirations of the opening day exercises of negro peoples of the world. Even before his presence felt, Negroes had gear to pool their intelligence on the race. Marcus Garvey, and it was decided that no that year. Last March in Denmark convention was assembled, at which carry on the work of the organ Hon. Marcus Garvey. But Auctioneer, and so the Executive Council be held under the auspices of timing on August 15 and ending on As it was, Marcus Garvey, founder and leader of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, was in a salon's cell, and not only in New York City, but throughout the world wherever black men and women congregate under the aegis of the Red, Black and Green, thousands were giving praise to God for Garvey, landing his name, and doing their all to further the work so gloriously initiated and featured by him in the interest of Africa and its scattered sons and daughters. Truly, here was counsel extraordinary for those who vainly hug the hope that in the world today persecution of one man, even though he be the leader, can stifle the aspirations of a race. The occasion was the opening day exercises of the annual Convention of the Negro peoples of the world. Every August, since Marcus Garvey made his presence felt, Negroes assembled in New York from fifty and near to pool their intelligence and legislate for the future salvation of the race. Marcus Garvey was sent to prison in February, 1925, and it was decided that no international Convention be held that year. Last March in Detroit, however, an extraordinary Convention was assembled, at which new officers were chosen to carry on the work of the organization under the guidance of the Hon. Marcus Garvey. But August still retained its deep significance, and so the Executive Council decreed that local Conventions be held under the auspices of the Association everywhere, beginning on August 15 and ending on August 21. Harlem One Acclaiming Host At the New York Division held biennies into one acclaiming host of day's programme was divine sed by a parade through the park m., the day's proceedings being being at 8 p. m.

At the top of the headlighted portrait of Marcus Garvey, session, and the eyes of all, streetkman and passerby, ardent memoir on this, as a band played the E.E. Star-Spangled Banner, and chee And so it was that the New York Division held high festival today, converting Harlemites into one acclaiming host of Garveyism. The first event on the day's programme was divine services at 11 a.m. This was followed by a parade through the principal streets of Harlem at 2:30 p.m., the day's proceedings being wound up with a great mass meeting at 8 p.m. It was the parade event which furnished the opportunity for the foremost Negro community in the world to openly and unreservedly attest its esteem for the foremost Negro leader. As the parade ended in front of the Association's headquarters on 135th street, and the various units and marchers had passed in review before the Executive Officers, thousands thronged and choked the wide thoroughfare and sidewalks, raising cheer upon cheer for full fifteen minutes for a man who was present only in spirit. Street cars and vehicles of every description were forced to halt, and the police who were assigned to the vicinity stood good-naturedly by and waited until the enthusiasm had subsided, moved out of themselves by the remarkable demonstration. At the top of the headquarters' steps was held aloft a life-sized portrait of Marcus Garvey, which had been carried in the procession, and the eyes of all, street car motorman and policeman, truckman and passerby, ardent member and erstwhile critic, were trained on this, as a band played the Ethiopian National Anthem and The Star-Spangled Banner, and cheers for the absent leader rent the air. Final Rout of the Rebels instructing the high regard in which Marcus Garvey, Sunday's proceeding, that in New York there is a sort of the people forswearing the tender of the organization. It is intent to prison a conceited and overly of George A. Weston, Vice-Pr But while demonstrating the high regard in which the people of New York hold Marcus Garvey, Sunday's proceedings served effectively to nail the lie that in New York there is a serious split in the ranks, the majority of the people forwearing their allegiance to the imprisoned founder of the organization. It is true that after Marcus Garvey went to prison a conceived and over-ambitious lieutenant in the person of George A. Weston, Vice-President, by grace of Garvey, of the New York Division, aided and abetted by certain published officials of the organization, and advised by a firm of white lawyers, thought of gaining control of the organization and all plans to this end. But the pitifulness of the gentlemen's pretense was apparent to all but a few members of the local division of those who would like to see the organization destroyed. At the end opportunity the people showed in unmistakable fashion where they stood, and the white press, which for weeks before was disdainful, paws of the downfall (etc) of Marcus Garvey, had perished in silent in the face of a remarkable endorsement or rebuke, in reverence the truth. The service was very impressive. The Rt. Hon. Fred Brown, the President-General, who is also an ordained minister, appeared by Dr. J. G. St. C. Drake and Dr. J. H. Brown of North Carolina. The last-named preached the service in the Minster and the house of the day. The service continued fairly accommodate the thunderous applause for the right meeting, even through the rain and the stormy weather. The chief item on the program was the message from the President-General. IMPRESSIVE DIVINE SERVICE MARKS OPENING OF CONVENTION; ELOQUENT SERMON BY REV. DR. J. H. CHASE Hall Filled at Early Hour With Huge Throng Which Offers Up Fervent Prayer for Hon. Marcus Garvey and His Early Restoration to the Race NEW YORK CITY, Sunday, August 15.—The Convention of the New York Division is officially opened this morning with divine service, held in the Commonwealth auditorium, 135th street. The service was timed to begin at 11 a.m., but from 10 o'clock the vast auditorium began to fill, members from the nearby divisions of New Jersey and Pennsylvania arriving in large numbers. The military units paraded in front of the Parent Body Headquarters on 125th street and marched to the hall. These units with the Black Cross Nurses and a joint choir of the New York and Philadelphia Divisions, with the Executive Officers and distinguished guests, formed in procession at the back of the hall and went in procession to the dais. The Universal Band was getting in readiness for the parade, and so was not in attendance. In its absence Miss Vivian Douglas presided at the piano. the Philadelphia U. A. L.; Mr. E. H.

Chase, rising to deliver the convention sermon, said: "My After the procession around the hall and to the data to the grinches of the hymn, "He Leadeth Me," the auxiliaries went through their exercises. This done, the service, intoned by Rev. Prod A. Tete, Acting President-General of the Association, began. After prayers had been said the 1st psalm was read, followed by the singing of the Jubilee Deo. The Lesson of the Day was then read by the Rev. Dr. J. Q. Drake, after which further prayers were made, including a special prayer for the absent President-General, Hon. Marcus Garvoy. A duet by Meadams Wyatt and Knowles, of Philadelphia, followed, after which Rev. Boote addressed the vast congregation as follows: Prayara For Absent Leader Prayers For Abent Leader "It is now a profound pleasure for me to bid you a hearty welcome this morning to the opening of our Convention. Our only regret at this time (here several persons began to sob) is that our beloved President-General is not present with us. But I sincerely hope that everyone of you here present will remember him in your prayers and carry your minds back to the times when he was present among us and ask God's blessing upon him that he may be spared and restored to us to continue the work of African redemption." The hymn, "The Church's One Foundation," was then sung, after which Rev. Dr. J. H. Chase, of Elizabeth City, North Carolina, preached the Convention sermon, taking his text from Genesis the 22nd chapter, the 6th verse: "My son, God will provide." At the conclusion of the sermon a special thanks offering was made, after which the Ethiopian National Anthem and The President's Hymn, "God Bless Our President," were fervently sung. Denediction was pronounced by Rev. Toote, and then the Executive Officers returned in procession to the robing room. Among those who occupied seats on the days were: Rt. Hon. Fred A.

Chase, rising to deliver the convention sermon, said: "My dear friends, I am very glad to be present this morning. I want to pay respect to the acting President-General. Hon. Fred Toote, and then to those able officers, his cabinet, and to this splendid chair which is singing the songs of Zion. And then I want to pay respect to the absent one. When I cast my eye on this robe it carriers my mind back to the beginning of this great organization, to the great man who wore this robe, to that great master mind. I am sure you can feel a great deal of pride this morning in this splendid organization and this great man. I feel like saying to the acting President-General this morning, this stalwart, not in size but in mind, some of the things that have been welling up in my mind since I came among you. I like to see men who will stand up for the thing that is uplifting, the thing that is loyal, the thing that will help us to look toward the sun." Taking his text from Genesis, 22nd chapter, 8th verse: "My son, God will provide." Dr. Chase explained that these were the words of Abraham to his son, Isaac, when the latter questioned him in regard to the sacrifice that was to be offered up, little dreaming that he was to take the place of the sacrificial lamb. In a reasoned and eloquent discourse the preacher-bade his hearers never to be discouraged, but to remain steadfast, loyal and true, assured that when the outlook seemed darkest a just God would not see a righteous cause fall, but would come to the rescue. Milwaukee, Wis., Division Of U. N. I. A. 100 Per Cent. For the Great Cause The following letter was addressed to the Rt. Hon. Fred A. Toote, acting President-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, with the request that it be published in The Negro World. It will serve to give an indication of the spirit which animates the membership of the Association at this crucial period of its history. Aug. 9, 1926. Hon. Fred A. Toote, Acting President-General, U. N. L. A. New York City, N. Y. Hon. Sir:—In accordance with your kind suggestion I have ordered the secretary to have remitted to you one hundred dollars, same to be placed to our credit as consideration of full satisfaction with respect to our liabilities to the Parent Body. I would request that you kindly give some publicity to this act in the columns of The Negro World as an incentive to the members of the Milwaukee Division. I am pleased also to report that the Auxiliaries, vis: Legiona, Motor Corps, Black Cross Nurses and the Band are all functioning and I am trying to keep up this spirit. I may also mention that on Sunday, Carvey Day, we collected the sum of six dollars for the Hon. Marcus Garvey and said sum was submitted to Mrs. Amy Jacques Garvey. With reference to our Local Convention it is somewhat inconvenient for our members who are all hard-working people to stage meetings every night. Nevertheless I am encouraging to disapprove the regulations to the best of my ability, subject to local conditions. On Sunday, 3rd last, we shall be celebrating the birthday of the Hon. Marcus Garvey and we propose having a one dollar drive, proceeds of which shall be immediately forwarded to Your Invitation. Again ensuring you of my determination to put Milwaukee Division over the top, I remain. HARLEM'S HOMAGE TO GARVEY AS SEEN BY THE WHITE PRESS The following article on the parade of the Universal Negro Improvement Association in New York on the occasion of the opening of the local convention appeared in the New York Herald-Tribune and the New York Journal of August 18. Up Lenox Avenue to 145th street, across and down Seventh avenue to the headquarters of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, 66 West 135th street, rolled a long parade yesterday, sailing with banners and gilt braid and splendid uniforms and swaying to the rhythm of four complete brass bands. From every window on the route and from the hot rooftops hung thousands of Negroes, cheering the name of Marcus Aurelius Garvey, "Provisional President of the African Republic, admiral of the Black Star Line, president general and founder of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and leader of all the Negro peoples of the world." On the sidewalks, ten deep, stood 100,000 more, waving and shouting and applauding as the procession, opening the first day of the local convention of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, went blaring by. Survey in Penitentiary But Marcus Garvey himself, dreamer of dreams for the future of the Negro race, was not present. He is in the Federal Penitentiary at Atlanta, serving a term of five years for fraudulent use of the mail, but his grip on the Negroes of Harlem, whose new and conscious pride of race he was foremost in instilling, apparently has been weakened none at all by his absence. They went wild over his name on banners yesterday, and close behind the leading band, surrounded by gaudy ranks of soldiers—Marcus Garvey's own soldiers—the officers and the rank and file of the Universal African Police, the Universal African Legion, and the Universal Royal Guards of Africa—crawled his big black car in which two-gold-braided lieutenants held up a life-sized oil portrait on an ebony standard. The leader was painted in full dress, just as he appeared before officers whisked him away to the penitentiary in February, 1925. Next behind came the Garveyite officers of the U. N. I. A. Fred A. Toote, acting assistant president general, in a magnificent gold robe, occupied a car all by himself, following that of the master. Close behind rode Lady Henrietta V. Davia, fourth assistant president general; F. Levil Lord, chancellor, and W. A. Wallace, secretary general. African Plan Carried The entire procession was footed with banners and placards, and with hunting in red, black and green—the colors of the African Republic and of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. A thousand men marched on foot, each with a red, black and green flag, and a detachment of Negro nurses, clad in white uniforms with black crosses, carried the same tricolor in a banner as huge as a blanket. And closing up the roof rolled a complete assortment of four-wheeled vehicles, varying from classy limousines to broken-down Fords and five-ton motor trucks. The parade, which followed religious services at the Commonwealth Casino, on 1858 street, was the first function of the local convention of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. During the convention, which will last a week, discussion of segregation, disenfranchisement, amalgamation, race prejudice and other matters pertaining to the Negro problem will be discussed, according to Mr. Wallace. On Tuesday, which is the birthday of Garvey, there will be "special discussions on his accomplishments, his contributions to civilization and his persecution and imprisonment." AMERICA MOVES TO MAKE PEONS OF FILIPINOS An Expose of the Dastardly Crime Being Hatched Against Filipinos in the Name of Rubber and Religion The following editorial from the New York World dealing with the dastardly attempt of American capitalists to enslave the Filipinos so that cheap rubber may be obtained, is reprinted for the benefit of foreign readers, and the people of Liberia, "Firestone's Republic," in particular: CAN THEY GET AWAY WITH IT? (From the New York World) Four months from now, when Congress meets again, we predict that the lid will be off on the ambitious project which is hatching in the Philippines. This project is a deliberate attempt to force the Government of the United States to soil its hands with the establishment of a system of peon labor. The people who are behind this project do not talk of peon labor. They talk of rubber. For more than a month now, ever since Col. Carmi Thompson arrived in the Philippines on a somewhat indefinite errand for the Administration, glowing stories of great things to come have been feeding the press. We have been told that the Philippines are an ideal spot in which to grow rubber. We have been told that by growing rubber in the Philippines we can break a monopoly now held by the British. We have been told that the price of rubber can be brought down for every owner of a motor车 in the United States. Americans are invited first to consider their own petebooks. Then they are told that rubber means the salvation of the Philippines. Then they are told that even religious liberty is at stake there. Not in some years, in anything pertaining to the Philippines, has the tom-tom been heated with such gusto. The first step about rubber production is that plantation rubber requires an abundance of cheap labor. This is true because in the work well and humid climate where rubber can be grown trees continually need protection from the environment of the jungle. The tapping of trees and the gathering of sap cannot be done by subsistence. There are no substitute for manpower. seamer of dreams for the future of the wars in the Federal Pentitentiary at Atlanta, andudent use of the mail, but his grip on law and conscious pride of race he was has been weakened none at all by his name on banners yesterday, and closed by gaudy ranks of soldiers—Marcus and the rank and file of the Universal African Legion, and the Universal Royal black car in which two-gold-braided portrait on an ebony standard.

MARCUS GARVEY 39 Five-Dollar Gold Pieces, Each Coin Representing One of the Valued Years He Has Lived The following letter was sent to the Hon. Marcus Garvey at Atlanta by the Secretary of the New York Division, conveying to him, on the occasion of his thirty-ninth birthday, a sense of the members' appreciation and unswerving loyalty: "Hon. Marcus Garvey, "Honorable Sir: The loyal members of the New York Division, together with a few other members of the Association, have united this year to send you, on the thirty-ninth anniversary of your birthday, some token of the high regard and love approaching almost to adoration in which they, in common with most Negroes, hold you. "Inasmuch as it would be difficult to procure for you a suitable present, and taking thought that to one in your position money is always more useful than presents, we have decided to send you a rosey of your age, each head to be a gold coin of the value of five dollars. "We could not, if we used all the words in the dictionary, express to you fully our sentiments, but you can form some small idea of our feelings when we say that we love you and honor you more, now that you are suffering for us, than we did at the peak of your physically free days. "Or you truly can it be said that 'Stone walks do not a prison make,' for the real YOU—the spirit of racial freedom embodied in the term 'Harveyism'—is stronger now then when you were among us in the flesh.

PARADE SHOWS STRENGTH OF GARVEYISM Never-to-Be-Forgotten Spectacle Witnessed as Harlem Pays Striking Tribute to Organization During Colorful Parade The picturesque feature of the day's events was the parade, which assembled at 2:30 p. m. in front of the headquarters building at 56 West 125th street. The weather god was in a kindly mood and a soft sun shone down out of a clear sky as the various units and marchers took their places for the procession through the principal thoroughfares of Harlem, which by this time fairly bounced with excitement. Over 2,000 persons were in line. As the head of the parade swung north into Lenox avenue, Captain H. G. Saltus, acting Adjutant General of the Universal African Legions, mounted, in the lead, the sidewalks and the avenue became a soothing mass of people. From windows and roofs men and women hung over, and as the marchers swept by there were abouts of en- If you are SICK with RHEUMATISM, SCIATICA, LUMBAGO, LAME BACK, GOUT.

Is Doing for Africa Another ease the decision in which has excited considerable in- terest among intelligent Africans generally is that of Ann Rebecca Morter (Plaintiff) versus Arthar Balderamos and Hubert Hill Oain (Executors of the estate of I, E. Morter, deceased), and the Uni- versal Negro Improvement Association (Defyndants). Prem Whe Gere Coat times In thia case the late Mr. I. E. Morter, a West Indian, left the bulk of his estate valued between 68.000 dollars and 160,000 dollars to the “African Re- demption Funé” of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and a few paltry gifts to his wife and other relatives. Hence arose the pres- emt action at law in which the wife, Asn Rebecca Morter, is the plaintift and seeks to set aside the bequest to the Universal Negro Improvement As- rociation on the grounds of uncer- tainty and Mlegality. The case was heard in the Colony of British Hondures by the Chief Jus- tice of that Colony and after a Jengthy hearing he had delivered judgment to the effect that the bequest to the “african Redemption Fund” of the Universal Negro Improvement Associa- tion was null and void on the ground that It existe for illegal purposes. This, of course, can only mean that the redemption of Africa ts an illegal purpose. An appeal to the Privy Council has been lodged. and Africans throughout the world will await with Interest the decision upon this point of the highest British Tribunal. In the meanwhile ordinary laymen wil wonder ax to the ambiguities of the law. There are several philan- thropie bodies throughout the world for the purpose of missionary and other work in Africa. These are gen- erally in the hands of Europeans sup- posed to be filled with seal for the redemption of Africa.

Spain Uneasy Over Policy Of Arming Morocco Tribes MADRID, Aug. 14.—Uneasiness 1s expressed ir) military circles concerning the policy of the high command in re- arming certain friendly groups in Morocco for the purposes of defensn against the rebel Djebala tribe. Hitherto the military policy has been to remove all the arms and munitions surrendered by the tribes, but it met with such disastrous results in 1921 that the reverse plan is now being ‘tried among the groups living near the ‘Dyetela territory. | While the strength and endurance of the Djedela tribes seem to justify the measure, fear ie expressed that re- armed allies may use their weapons net for éefance but for offense againct the Spanish, end that the probtem of pectication may again enter an acute stage.

SPAIN TO DEMAND TANGIER ZONE MADRID, Aug. 15.—Spain intends t preaent m plea to the Great Powers fo1 attribution of the international zon¢ of Tangler to Spain. If this fatix, whe will threaten to evacuate the Riff. This would be one of the bluntest iplomatic moves made in recent hin- tory, and might have Important con- dering if the matter was not broached with the Italian Government during the recent negotiations for the Italo- Spanish arbitration -treaty. ‘The tnformayion as to the Govern- 'ment’s plan was contained in an in- terview with General Primo de Rivera published fn the A. B.C. thir morn- ing, the interview having all appear- ances of having been provoked oM- clally. According to the A. B. C., the head of the Directorate sald: “Tam asked the Government's opin- ton concerning the control of Tangier. and the answer which must be given is delicate. But in keeping with my normal policy, which is sincerity, Iam going to reply with the same frank- ness with which I discussed the Mo- Toccan problem in 1917 and 1921. “Spain fs convinced that {t was un- Just to withdraw the amall Tangier zone ivom the amall protectorate con- ceded to iicr, mince {t neemm to be evt- dence of a lack of confidence in our qualities to administer ft and in the, loyalty of Spain to maintain zones of neutrallty,in all circumstancer. “After seventeen yearn In Morocco, maintaining neutrality and spendinz almost 50,000 lives and 5,000,000,000 me orien mene ask all nations to agree to inclide Tangier in the Spanish protectorate, confining it to Spain's administration and neutrality. “It Spain doen not obtain Tangier. it will be a matter of consideration whether it 1s worth her trouble to spend 200,000,000 pesos annually in Morocco, with international Tangier ms & possible nest of new conspiracies and easy means of arousing the soor-| ish tribes to take the field with arms again. “The rest of Europe will not be free of the weight of Tangier until tt is rally turned over to Spain.

The Anglo-Saxon race prides itself on having a mission to the world, and undoubtedly the raco has contributed much to modern civilization and could have done more but for a weak trait in the national character. The Eng- Ushman's weakness Is hin tendency to self-esteem, which has been described by the great Gladstone as a “too Iittle disposition to regard the feelings, the habits, and the Idees of others": and this trait in the national character seems to have been inherited In a kreater degree by the English cMeialn who are placed in charge of colonial administrations. The English official in West Africa rerards himself as set 30 high above the black man that he would permit neither the feelings nor the views of the latter to Influence his judgment in the work of administra- tion. ‘With an overwesning sense of thelr sagacity and uprightness English oM- clals insiat upon running colonial gov- ernment in thelr own way regardless of the feelings and opinions of the native populations, In thelr view no Diack man can ever be well educated and enlightened enough, nor can Possess the requinite “character* to take an important part in the business of Government and to influence ofM- clal policies, even though there are several natives who have passed through the same training given in the name institutions which turn out Eng- Uh oMtciaix, If the nattves call in question administrative acts, or oppose legialation or sorae undertakings which militate against their interests, they are frowned upon as a rebellious peo- ple who must be overborne by author- ity; for 0 great ix the English colonial officials’ hellet in their in- fallibility that they never acknowledge a mistake, Tha black man, they hold, in not to reason nor to criticize: he ts to acqulesen in all the proposals of the Gevernment in which he has no voice —the Government which can do no wrong and whore motives are always pure and above question.

LET’S PUT IT OVER MARCUS GARVEY Tuesday, Auguet 17, Marcus Garvey, greatest Negro of O the age, will have passed another milestone in his eventful Me. Another birthday finds him tight In the cold, relent- tees grip of the law, which must be satisfied. ‘Thousands of Negroes throughout the wortd are remembering that August 17 is the thirty-ninth anniversary of the birth of the guiding star ef the Negro race. They ara remembering with prayers and supplications for his speedy deliverance. They are remembering with thanke to the Almighty because in Hie infinite qgeedness and mercy He has given Marcus Garvey to the Negro peoptes of the world. Great hes been his contribution to his people. How great none le yet able te measure. And he is still giving. Hie resignation and cheerhiness in the face of what would have long since kitted the apirit of any but the ancinted is helping those who are restiees, ienpetenus and easily discouraged. With no inspiration except that which he ls able to summon from the welleprings of his own splendid being, he yet sends forth words of encouragement and advice te these who would keep the faith and carry on until hie retum. to Jp standing the test of the great leader, and the world loske on and must applaud. : They have taught us that the crowd.soon forgets and we have almost believed it. But.each year as the birthday of Marcus Garvey comes round, we learn anew that the crowd does not always forget. Marcus Garvey’s contribution to his race has made him immortal. The race will never forget him because he has given the Negro the plan, the inspiration and the determination to acquire those things which bring peace and contentment, dignity and respect. PAN-ASIATIC LEAGUE AND AFRICAN CONGRESS ‘TIS in keeping with the purposes of the white conquerors anc J exploiters of Asiatic and African peoples that the American news papers should have given such smail space to the proceedings o the Pan-Asiatic Congress, held at Nagasaki, Japan, fast month, anc should ignore the significance of the conclusions of the Congress anc their possible bearings on future Asiatic politics. It is also signifi cant that Japan gave no official recognition to the Congress and that so few Japanese attended it, which would seem to justify the con- clusion of the Daily Worker that “there is no room for Japan in such a league.” The Chinese delegates took a like view of the mat- ter, classing Japan with the European usurpers and exploiters of the Asiatics. This is a very severe indictment of Japan, which made such a brave fight for equal status with European naticns in the settlement of the World War problems, and which made such an outery when the United States discriminated against the Japanese in the new immigration laws. The Pan-Asiatic Congress did a very great deal when it made a league possible and adopted a program which will :ncourage the development of a common Asiatic language and the creation of a Pan-Asiatic Bank and the building of a university that will bring Asiatic culture to new heights. It is the beginning that counts. Given the beginning and those concerned can make headway toward any objective they may determine upon. A common language and a mutual understanding upon religious differences are as necessary to the Asiatics as to the Africans, and the Pan-Asiatic Congress and the African Congress quite agree upon these vital points. A uni- versity for the Asiatics is just as necessary as one for the Africans, becanse a common language is necessary if there ix to be any real understanding and co-operation. The scattered Jews who speak all the languages of the world understand this fact also and have es- tablished their owa university in Palestine. The Universal Negro Improvement Association, in its African repatriction plans, also, in advance of the African and Pan-Asiatic Congresses, planned for a eniversity ia which the Negro could master a common language and | enderstanding of what he must do to save himaelf and his Africa | from witer eclipse by the aggressions of the white races. ‘The African snd Asiatic everywhere have got to organize and fight for what is rightfully theirs, or they will not get it. The dis- of the white races to conquer and rule and rob the darker oe ciceid be relentlessly challenged or there will be nothing left to tham in the Saal outcome. | LEVB WEBS MEMBERS OF THE ASSOCIATION ITHOUT organization no great things can be done in mod- Ja Ne @gpeization can amount to much unless it has 3 S Feng center of persone Sandel mactver to &2 Soe: ee ie ent by soa lgriarg The organization and con- Penne” ane in ancient and modern times wes brought Aun (a few men with 2 échaice purport and oll <a eneS SREY 20 make 2 grect thing of their email beginning. pe eee er eee aes caer. ce ay diet isdapents ; SiaGiians Sieee, witch in 2 contary ogi a fell hes TUR MRGRS WORLD, GATURDAY, AUGUST 81. 1688 grown to forty-sigtt Sentes and 115,000,080 peapte who are rated as among the strongest and wealthiest of the mations on earth. The Universal Negro Improvement Association was crested by Marcus Gervey and twelve persons who betieved in him and it has grown to be one of the world’s influencing orgasizations, inspiring millions of people on three continents to higher and nobler apprecia tion of themselves and their potential values in manhood and ma- terial forces, developed and undeveloped, with the spirit to contro! those values for their own benefit. The organization and the de- velopment of it was made possible hy the faith and labor of men and women who believed in Marcus Garvey. There are thousands of men and women in all parts of the wor!d who have iabored and sac- rificed in season and out for success of the Universal Negro Improve: ment Association, and who are still doing it. They have a vision and they will not perish, : One of the live-wire members of the association was introduced to the readers of The Negro World in our last week's issue. And a like- ness of him was given along with some account of what he has done for the advancement and glory of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. We refer to Mr. John Gipson, of the Miami, Florida, Division. Turn to page 2 of The Negro World of August 14 and look into Mr. Gipson's strong face and read the short but eloquent account of what he has done for the Association. It pvill be an in- spiration to do so. The Association is proud of such members as Mr. Gipson, and it fas thousands of them. They are the pride and glory of the Association and the hope of the Negro race, which is reaching after its rightful place in the sun and will find it. Are 7ou a live-wire member of the Universal Negro Improvement Association? Of course you are. RATS AND REBELS JHE modern world is dominated by a very complex system 07 T civil and economic laws, inspired, if not made and dominated, although not administered by the religious end social opinion | of the prople who make up the citizenship of the country. None of us can escape the operations of these laws, which we cannot alter or amend without securing a majority vote of those who authorized their enactment by persons chosen for that purpose. If we do not like a given law and cannot secure a repeal of it we have to obey it or submit to the punishment made and provided for violation of it. Weare all bound by the law, whether it be just or unjust. It is in this way that governments are organized and administered. All Jaws are supposed to bear upon all alike, without distinctions of any kind,. and the administration of the laws should*be equally as im- partial. That discrimination is made in the administration of the laws is a scandalous fact which provokes most of the discontent which prevails usually among the citizenship. This discontent often leads to serious upheavals in the government. The Universal Negro Improvement Association, organized for the accomplishment of certain definite objects, and within the laws of the country, provides for its own government by a written con- stitution defining its objects and the obligations of those selected by designation or election to administer its affairs. Such persons are expected to live up to their obligations as administrators or em- ployees, but they have not always done so. Some of them, when they have severed their relations with the organization, have gone about trying to destroy it, and some have not been honest enough to ‘create an organization of their own but have striven to function as &@ part but independently of the Parent organization. We now have such a condition in New York City. It is much to be regretted that the rebellious, who were once trusted officials of the Parent Body, did not create an organiza- tion of their own, with their own names and under a constitution of their own, instead of striving to function as the Universal Negro Improvement Association itself. They can’t do that. They} should know that they cannot. They are simply rebels against the} Parent organization, and can only do business successfully as rebels. The courts will protect the Parent Body in its good name and lawful}, possessions of whatever sort from expropriation of its property and | abuse of its name and good will. There is but one lawful Universal Negro Improvement Associa-|, tion and Marcus Garvey is President-General as well as founder of it. The membership of the Association everywhere understands that i fact, and will, therefore, not allow themselves to be imposed upon| ind drawn away from the Parent Body by any number of disloyal | ¢ members who have gone away from the Association of their own|! volition or by being forced out and are striving to function as the eal Parent Body. They are bound to iail in any such effort, as the| s fast body of the membership will remain faithful and loyal to the , “niversal Negro Improvement Association and to Marcus Garvey, | 4 ts President-General. % DRAWING THE RACE LINE IN THE PHILIPPINES N all of ghe world there is no more miserable and pitiable creature J than the man without a country, unless it he the creature who is made a social pariah and an economic slave in his own country, stch as the white rulers of British Africa are striving to make of the Negro people, and such as it is the disposition of the white races to make of the people of Asia and Africa whom they have conquered and rule, over the protest of the conquered. But protests which are not backed by effective organization and determined resistence do not avail a great deal. The bandit who has robbed will shoot his victim in order to hold on to his loot. We have an illustration of this fact in every day's report in the daily newspapers of the United States. As itis with individual bandits, so it is with conquering and exploiting nations. The ethics of the one is the ethics of the other, and the one is as much to be despised and resisted as the other. It is a regrettable fact that the Americans have carried race prejudice and discrimination into all of the territories which have come under the flag since the annexation of Hawaii in the adminis- tration of President Cleveland. They have carried this race prej- udice and discrimination of the affairs of Cuba, Porto Rico, Haiti. the Virgin Islands, the Canal Zone, Hawaii and the Philippine Island, and they endorse and stand for it in all of the Southern States, although all the citizens of the latter are constitutionally entitled to the same “privileges and immunities,” “without regard to race, color or previous condition of servitude.” In doing this at home and in the Continental territories the Americans nullify the Constitution and make liars of themselves and weaken the founda- tions of their republican form of government and lay up for them- selves a condition such as prevailed in the slave system and pro- voked the Civil War. | Those of us who know can sympathize with the complaint of Senator Sergio Osmens that the Americans do not allow Flipinos in their social clubs, including the Army and Navy Club, and his statement to Mr. Carmi Thompson, the personal representative of President Coolidge in investigating conditions in the Philippines, that this social discrimination was one of the causes of Filipino oppo- sition to American rule can easily be understood.

Franklin Frazier. Readers will be able to appreciate the writer's striving for impartiality, while regretting his inability to overcome a very apparent bias. B. E. FRANKLIN FRAZIER The Garvey movement is a crowd movement essentially different from any other social phenomenon among Negroes. For the most part American Negroes have sought self-magnification in fraternal orders and the church. But these organisations have failed to give that support to the Negro's age-consciousness which the white masses find in membership in a political community, or on a smaller scale in Kiwiana clubs and the Ku Klux Klan. In a certain sense Garvey's followers form the black Klan of America. The reason for Carvey's success is in giving the Negroes into a crowd movement becomes apparent when we compare his methods and aims with those of other leaders. Thus, for example, the leadership of Boehner Washington, Washington could not be considered a leader of the masses of Negroes, for his program can be described itself chiefly to white people and those Negroes who prided themselves on their opportunism. There was nothing popularly heroic or inspiring in his program to captivate the imagination of the average Negro. In fact the Negro was admended to play an ingenious role. Certain other outstanding efforts among Negroes have failed to attract the masses because they have leashed the characterisation which have distinguished the Carvey movement. It is only necessary to mention such an organisation as the National Urban League and its leadership to realize that no reasoned a program of social adjustment is lacking in everything that appeals to the crowd. The leadership of Dr. DuBois has been too intellectual to satisfy the mob. Even his glorification of the Negro has been in terms which escape the black masses. The Pan-African Congress which he has promoted, while supporting to come extent the boasted aims of Carvey, has failed to stir any considerable number of American Negroes. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, which has fought uncompromisingly for equality for the Negro, has never secured, except locally and occasionally, the support of the masses. It has lacked the dramatic element. Negro Outcast and Repressed Negro Outcast and Repressed The status of Negroes in American life makes it easy for a crowd movement to be initiated among them. In America the Negro is repressed and an outcast. Some people are inclined to feel that this repression is only felt by cultured Negroes. As a matter of fact many of them can find satisfaction in the intellectual and spiritual things of life and do not need the support to their personalities that the average man requires. The average Negro, like other medicine people, must be fed upon empty and silly fiction in order that life may be bearable. In the South the most insignificant white man is made of supreme worth simply by the fact of his color, not to mention the added support he receives from the Kiwanis or the Klan. Garvey came to America at a time when all groups were asserting themselves. Many American Negroes have belittled his influence on the ground that he is a West Indian. It has been said that Garvey was only able to attract the support of his fellow-countrymen. The truth is that Garvey aroused the Negroes of Georgia as much as those of New York, except where, the black preacher discouraged anything that threatened his income, or where white domination anothered every earthly hope. Moreover, this prejudice against the West Indian Negro loses sight of the contribution of the West Indian to the American Negro. The West Indian who has been ruled by a small minority instead of being oppressed by the majority, is more worldly in his outlook. He has been successful in business. He does not need the lodge, with its promise of an imposing funeral, or the church, with its hope of a heavenly abode as an escape from a sense of inferiority. By his example he has given the American Negro an earthly goal. Paradise on Earth Garvey went even further. He not only provided the desiplied Negro a paradise on earth, but he made the Negro an important person in his immediate environment. He invented hensers and social distinctions and converted every social invention to his use in his effort to make his followers feel important. While everyone was not a "Knight" or "Kir" all his fellows were "Fellow-men of the Negro Race." Even more concrete distinctions were open to all. The women were organized into Black Cross Nunnes, and the men became uniformed members of the vanguard of the Great African Army. A uniformed member of a Negro hooded in significance inside a soldier of the Army of African Negro might be a porter during the day, taking his sword from white men and the was an officer in the black army, it must be accompanied at night in Infantry units. Many a Negro prent about his shaping in his heart that he was a member of the great army moving towards the end of the century. even in basing his program upon fantastic claims of empires, Harvey always impressed his followers that this promise was more realistic than that of those who were constantly arguing for the theoretical rights of the Negro. In the Negro World for October 18, 1924, he warned his followers that: Those who try to ridicule the idea that America is a white man's country are going to find themselves sadly disappointed one of these days, homeliness, shelterless, and unprepared for. Some of us do harp on our constitutional rights, which sounds reasonable in the righteous interpretation thereof, but we are forgetting that righteousness is alien to the world and that sin and materialism—now triumph, and for material glory and honor and selflessness man will stay his brother. And in the knowledge of this, is the Negro still so fearful as to believe that the majority of other races are going to be so unfair and unjust to themselves as to yield to weaker peoples that which they themselves desire? And after all, this is essentially what most Negroes believe in spite of the celebrated faith of the Negro in America. Idols and Symbols A close examination of the ideals and symbols which Garvey always hold up before his followers shows his mastery of the technique of creating and holding crowds. The Negro group becomes idealized. Therefore he declares he is as strongly against race-intermixture as a Ku KluxKl. He believes in a "pure black race just as all self-respecting whites believe in a pure white race." According to Garvey, civilization is about to fall and the Negro is called upon "to evolve a national ideal, based upon freedom, human liberty, and true democracy." The "redemption of Africa" is the regaining of a lost paradise. It is always almost at hand. This belief has served the same purpose as does the myth of the general strike in the syndicalist movement. Garvey, who is dealing with people imbued with religious feeling, endows the redemption of Africa with the mystery of the regeneration of mankind. He said on one occasion: "No one knows when the hour of Africa's redemption cometh. It is in the wind. It is coming one day like a storm. It will be here. When that day comes, all Africa will stand together." Garvey gave the crowd that followed him victims to vent their hatred upon, just as the evangelist turns the hatred of his followers upon the Devil. Every rabble must find someone to blame for its woes. The Negro who is poor, ignorant, and weak naturally wants to place the blame on anything except his own incapacity. Therefore Garvey was always attributing the misfortunes of the Negro group to traitors and enemies. Although the identity of these "traitors" and "enemies" was often obscure, as a rule they turned out to be Negro intellectuals. The cause for such animosity against this class of Negroes is apparent when we remember that Garvey himself lacks formal education. Influence of Religion Garvey who was well acquainted with the tremendous influence of religion in the life of the Negro, proved himself matchless in assimilating his own program to the religious experience of the Negro. Christmas, with its association of the lowly birth of Jesus, became symbol of the Negro's birth among the nations of the world. Easter became the symbol of the resurrection of an oppressed and crucified race. Such naive symbolism easily kindled enthusiasm among his followers. At other times Garvey made his own situation appear similar to that of Jesus. Just as the Jews incited the Roman authorities against Jesus, other Negro-Leaders were making the United States authorities persecute him. Most discussions of the Garvey movement have been concerned with the feasibility of his schemes and the legal aspects of the charge which brought him finally to the Atlanta Federal Prison. It is able to attempt to apply to the schemes that attract crowds the best of reasonableness. Even experience fails to teach a crowd anything, for the crowd attitudes its vanity and longing in the beliefs it holds. Nor is it surprising to find Garvey's followers regarding his imprisonment at present as martyrum for the cause he represents although the technical charge on which he was convicted is only indirectly related to his program. But Garvey has not failed to exploit his imprisonment. We know that the average man is imprisoned if anyone suffers. Upon his arrest he gave out the following statement: "There has never been a movement where the Leader has not suffered for the Guess, and not received the magnitude of the people." As he entered the prison in Athens he sent a message to the following which appeared in his paper, the Negro World, on February 14, 1963. He points blame as a source for his group and accuses him of a criminal act. he followed them to escape. "And I have never given them to you. I have delivered my home and my living wife for you." "I belong to your desire, to protect and defend in my absence, like in the bravest little women I know." Such paths he know the most could not resist, and the final word he sent to his supporters under the sage, "If I die in Atlanta," with its apocalyptic message, raises him above morale. He made "Look for me in the whirlwind or the storm, look for me all around you, for, with God's grace, I shall come and bring with me the countless millions of black slaves who have died in America and the West Indies and the millions in Africa to aid you in the fight for liberty, freedom, and life." Since his imprisonment Garvey has continued to send his weekly message on the front of his paper to his followers warning them against their enemies and exhorting them to remain faithful to him in his suffering. It is uncritical to regard Garvey as a common swindler who has sought simply to enrich himself, when the evidence seems to place him among those so-called cranks who refuse to deal realistically with life. He has the distinction of initiating the first real mass movement among the American Negroes. U. N. L. A. PARADE SHOWS STRENGTH OF GARVEYISM (Continued from page 2) (Continued from page 2) couragement and cheers and waving of flags, which seemed to say "Bravo! Your spirit is admirable." With Capt. Saltus, also mounted, were Capt. C. G. Woodley and Capt. C. Walters. Three legionaries of the Philadelphia unit followed carrying the colors of the Association, the Red, Black and Green, the colors of the Universal African Legions and the American flag—handsome silk emblems, the property of the Philadelphia Division. Leading the New York unit of the U. A. L. came Col. C. Williams and Water B. H. Yearwood. Hailing the Leader Then appeared the cynosure of all eyes, an open car with two officers of the U. A. L. holding a sheaf a splendid life-sized portrait of the Hon. Marcus Garvey, the frame handsomely trimmed with red, black and green ribbon. As the car, which also carried the leader's robes of office, passed the assembled thousands on the sidewalks applauded was general, the cheering being continuous all along the line of marsh. The executive officers were next in line, riding in open cars. The Rt. Hon. Fred A. Toote, M. A., acting President-General, led, attended by an officer of the U. A. L. Next came the Rt. Hon. William Wallace, Secretary-General, and Sir F. Levi Lord, Chancellor. In the next car were the Rt. Hon. Dr. J. G. St. C. Drake, International Organizer, and Hon. Madame M. L. T. De Mena, Assistant International Organizer; Mr. Uriah Gittens, Executive Secretary of the New York Division; Mrs. Hannah Nicholas, General Secretary, and other officers of the Division followed. Next in line was a contingent from the Philadelphia unit of the Universal African Legions under Colonel H. Branch, followed by hundreds of recruits of the New York U. A. L. Then came a long line of motor vehicles, about half-a-mile in length, all decorated with flags and bunting, bearing members and friends of the movement, many of whom displayed pictures, large and small, of the Hon. Marcus Garvey. Women's Units The Black Cross Nurses and Women's Motor Corps were next in evidence, their chic appearance earning generous applause all along the line of march. An army of marchers followed with another procession of cars and small units from Brooklyn, Newark, Montclair, Asbury Park and other nearby divisions. At intervals in line were four bands which set the rhythm for the marchers. The line of march was as follows: From headquarters (corner 135th street and Lenox avenue) north along Lenox avenue to 145th street, west to Seventh avenue, south to 121st street, east to Lenox avenue, north to 180th street, east to 5th avenue, to 135th street and back to headquarters. Arriving here the officers formed in front of the building and the paraders passed in review, the various units smartly saluting as the acting President-General acknowledged. When the parade dispersed a remarkable demonstration was staged in front of the building, thousands pressing around and acclaiming as a picture of the Hon. Marcus Garvey was displayed from the top of the steps. The greatest enthusiasm reigned as lusty cheers were given for the absent leader, then for the Rt. Hon. Fred A. Scott and the Executive Council. No untoward incident occurred to mar the parade, the crowds being very orderly and good-humored. On all sides could be heard comments of pleasure over the fact that crowds estimated at well over 150,000 could assemble within a comparatively small area, without the arrest of a single individual or disturbance of any kind.

ON CHINESE POLICY Can Keep Good Will Only by Refraining From Irubbing on Material Interests and Weakening Cause of Beichievism ALLIAMSTOWN, Mass., Aug. 16.—The Soviet Government is bound with a dilemma in China, either to maintain the government place she now occupies in the good will of that nation and thereby foster Chinese nationalism, weaken the capitalistic powers and advance Beichievism, or to insist upon its material interests and lose moral strength with Young China, Dr. George M. Blankelee of Clark University, told the Institute of Politics here today. There is every indication, he said, that while the issue may be settled satisfactorily in Manchuria, the Eastern Chinese Railway will continue a bone of contention between Russia and Japan. Although the interests of the two nations, he pointed out, do not present points of conflict, it is clearly to the advantage of each to come to an agreement rather than to repeat the bloody tragedy of twenty years age. Elements of Rivalry The conflict of interests between the great railway systems of Russia and Japan in Manchuria is such that it had led to official protests by one Government against the action of the other. Soviet Russia, it was stated, has revived its interest in its economic rights and concessions and their possible extension in Manchuria and other parts of North China. It was stated that the former Russian plans for railway expansion and even the desire for a warm water port have been renewed and this is an added element for friction between the two nations. The rivalry of the Chinese Tushuns is another unfavorable element. Chang Tzu-lin controls Manchuria, practically independent of Peking. His relations with Japan are friendly. His chief rival, Gen. Fung, is for geographical reasons, dependent on Russia for military supplies and has been given publicly the moral support of the Russian leaders. This situation has led to the statement that Chang is pro-Japanese and that Fung is pro-Russian. The present Russian Government is anxious to extend the doctrine of Belsoherism, but it is this very doctrine of which the Japanese Government, as well as the American, is approbative. Only Russia and Japan are left as the active agents of expansion in China. Free China an Unreality The Russian drive toward the Pacific is just as insistent and just as sure to be renewed as is the Japanese determination that Russia shall not have a port or a naval base south of Lladivostok. This conflict may go on for years with only occasional fights between Chinese factions or it may take a turn at any time which will bring the principles into the battle line. Only a strong China, able to hold in check both Russia and Japan, said Mr. Norton, can put an end to the danger in Manchuria. Until such a China is established, the restraining influences of other powers—England, France and America—is essential to may attempt to preserve the peace in that part of the world. "Under such circumstances," he said, "the plan that China be freed from foreign control and allowed to work out her own destiny commensal a strange air of non-reality—an耻辱 quality which can have only a decorative value in an impatience of politic. "Become Up Goal Problem. Dr. Jacob L. Lippman, director of the New Jersey Experiment Division, in his discussion of soil conservation, described that the problem of feeding the populations of the world is a pressing one, and its solution can avoid international conflict. He termed the Russian, French and Mexican revolutions "food revolutions" and said that where food deficiency is great the problem is a serious one. Soil, he concluded, is a major factor in national and international affairs. There is a relation, he said, between soil types and race types. Mexican Shrub Gives Rubber Supply; U. S. Doubles Its Imports WASHINGTON.—A phenomenal increase in the importation of rubber from Mexico was reported by the department of commerce. For the first five months of this year, 4,665,132 pounds of wild or Gayule rubber were brought in, practically double the amount for the same period in 1825. Most of the rubber is harvested in the vicinity of Saltillo. It is the product of a wild shrub, growing over a vast territory. It is cut down and put through a mill and the crude rubber pressed out. As fast as the plant is uprooted another grows in its place. The supply is said to be inexhaustible. The industry is almost wholly in the hands of Americas. Relative of British King Barred From Social Club LONDON, Aug. 16.—The Prince of Wales is understood to be offended by the reported blackbailing of the Royal Yacht Squadron, most exclusive of all British clubs, of a young nobleman. Gossip concerning the victim has turned toward Lord Louis Mountbatten, a relative of King George and a close friend of the heir to the throne. The Weekly Dispatch says that "one of the friends of the young noble is so indignant over the retaliation of the club to accept the young nobleman for membership that his friend "contemptuously stealing another club" with his membership. The Dispatch adds that this friend is "will higher in rank" than the man blackballed. The friend's resignation, says the Dispatch, "would elapse temporarily at any rate the social status of the club." Family Claims Life Saving Record WORCESTER, Mass. Aug. 11 (A. P.) —With more than thirty-five recesses of persons from drowning and five attempted rescues to the credit of the family of Mrs. Michael T. Carrigan of this city, the family believes it holds a record that cannot be duplicated in the United States. When Patrolman John A. Carrigan saved Miss Helen Doherty at Coes Pond Monday night it was the thirty-seventh person he has taken from the water, all but four of whom had lived. His brothers, Francis D. Carrigan, decorated overseers in the World War; Michael Carrigan, and his sister, Miss Catherine L. Carrigan, each have a rescue from drowning to their credit. Hen. Fred A.

MORRIS MUSIC SHOPS 609 LENOX AVENUE Corner 342d Street Phone Edgecombe 0551 NEW YORK, Sunday Night Aug. 15.—The spacious Commonwealth Casino was literally jammed from ceiling to floor with an enthusiastic throng tonight as the hosts assembled in mass meeting for the last event of the day's program. Fifty cents admission was charged, yet hundreds had to be content with standing room. Rt. Hon. Fred A. Toote, Acting President-General, again occupied the chair, and seated with him on the platform were the officers of the Association and several visitors. The proceedings were of a very enthusial nature, the audience apparently seeking outlet for the overflow emotion that had been stirred earlier in the day. The reading of the convention message from the Mon. Maruse Garvey was eagerly awaited, and as Mr. Toote withdrew the letter from his pocket envelope and all, and announced that the great moment had come, choirs resounded throughout the building. With whispered words the Chairman caused the hand to strike up the President's hymn, and then quiet was restored, the vast congregation rising to its feet and singing justly the hymn composed in honor of its chantry. As Mr. Toote concluded the reading of the message, which is printed on the front page in this issue, some one called for three choirs for Maruse Garvey, and the within rang again. An excellent musical program and excerpts by the military units preceded the addresses. There was a selection by the Universal Band, followed by a vocal song by Mrs. H. Hassell which was well received. Miss Marie Johnson next entertained with a recitation; Mrs. Rosa Knowles, of Philadelphia, followed with a vocal solo and a recitation was rendered by Miss Sarah Major. Miss V. Cellina then entranced her hearers with a vocal solo, and was forced to give a second offering. A concerted item by five juveniles of the Jersey City Division was well received, and then Mrs. Wyatt, Mrs. Blunt, Mrs. Sharp and Mrs. Ferguson of Philadelphia sang a quartette. The last item was a solo by Mrs. Anna Blunt. MON, W. A. WALLAGE'S ADDRESS Hon. W. A. Wallace, Secretary-General, was the first speaker. He said his mind was so full with the day's events, so full of inspiration and enthusiasm over the remarkable demonstration of the abiding place which Garveyism holds in the hearts of the people that he had no quarrel with the chairman who had restricted the speakers to a few minutes in which to make their addresses. He rejoiced that the people of New York had shown the world that they stood 100 per cent behind the Red, Black and Green. He was convinced that it was impossible for any one man or set of men to stay the onward march of the glorious organization in which he had the honor to labor, and it was well that this was so, for he knew of no way in which real salvation could come to the race except along the lines mapped out by the Universal Negro Improvement Association. His message to the people was: "Carry on until the victory is won." SEND IN YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS FOR UNIVERSITY!

HON. FRED A. TOOTE'S ADDRESS NORFOLK, VIRGINIA TOLEDO, OHIO UNVIERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION UNVIERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION ENTHUSIASM REIGNS AT NIGHT MASS MEETING (Continued from page 5) Idea. Many persons within the precincts of Harlem were thinking, or were made to think, for the last six months that the Universal Negro Improvement Association was ill in bed or had gone on a vacation. But the demonstration of today has proved that Garveyism is very much alive—is not only alive abroad but is very much alive right here in Harlem. And we are saying tonight, my friends, that whatever may come the Universal Negro Improvement Association is in the world to play a much needed part and to live for ever. (Applause.) "The idea of destroying it is futile. The idea of Negroes staying away from it is vain. And with all of its experiences within the last twelve months you will agree with me that after all you can't with words and threats kill off the idea that has been born in the mind of a great leader and that has been passed on to and implanted in 400,000,000 Negroes. The fact of the matter is those are not registered on the rooster, yet their interest is at stake, and we are here to sound the tocain and let the world know that the Executive Council and the members of New York, and the members of the U. N. I. A. throughout the world are on the job. And this week is just giving the world an idea of what we will do when we go out on the field and continue to stir up in the minds of the men and women of the race the idea of race-consciousness that will awaken them. We shall labor incessantly until every Negro gets the spirit that will make him alert and active in the cause of African redemption and the real emancipation of the race." HON. MILE. DE MENA'S ADDRESS Hon. Mme. M. L. T. De Mena, Assistant International Organizer, was the next speaker. "K I had a dream voice," she said. "K I had the artistry of Dumonthean, or K I had the vocabulary of a Webster. I would draw the picture of the march through the streets of Marlton today and lay it upon the canvas for all the world to see and realize, and allow that plume I would draw in a modern time."

MON. FRED A. TOOTE'S ADDRESS Hon. Fred A. Toote, Acting President-General, made the closing address. Evidently tired from his herculean efforts of the past week, he said he must be excused from making a speech, but he could not resist from congratulating the loyal members of the Association who had contributed to the success of the day's proceedings. "I want to give you the greetings of the Executive Council," he said. "The Negro race is up against it but we must not lose hope. The future is before us—a future brimful of possibilities and opportunities. The Red. the Black and the Green is fluttering to the breeze, and so long as God gives us breath and so long as we keep our eyes fixed on Marcus Garvey, victory shall be proclaimed for the Universal Negro Improvement Association.

T ASSOCIATION ORK. ```markdown ``` Barn and Cow shed According to Dr. Lucius Nicholls, director of the Pasteur Institute at Colembo, Ceylon, the long held belief that snake charmers can cause snakes to leave their jungle haunts at the sound of music is a myth, says the Cleveland Plain Dealer. The cobra is deaf to all sounds. Dr. Nicholls says. Its hearing apparatus consists of a delicate membrane which receives only vibrations through the ground. The charmers know this, and by tapping the box or basket in which the snake is kept they partly stun the creature by the force of the vibrations, and so render it tractable. Incidentally, the poison fangs of the snakes used in juggling and similar entertainments are always removed when the snake is first captured. Photographs of the famous Indian rope trick, taken by Dr. Nicholls and his assistants, show no trace of the supposed boy climbing a rope. This is not magic, the investigator asserts, as so many people suppose it to be, but simply the art of suggestion brought to a high pitch of efficiency. CINNATI CURSION CINCINNATI body will be there.

Another Jazz Music Theory NEW YORK, Aug. 13.—Now comes Paul Whiteman, director and owner of the most famous jazz music orchestra in the United States, with another theory as to the origin of "Jazz." "Jazz," says Professor Whiteman, came to America three hundred years ago in chains. It came with the first batch of African slaves. In their frightened hearts lay silent the remembered rhythms and beat of jungle chants and drums. Barbarous and joyful and throbbing. Later, long years later, when they had become happy in their country, their hearts let out a little of this strange ancestral music—if it was music. In 'Jazz' we hear the sophisticated version of this throbbing thing."—C. P. B. Indians Sue for Land Taken From Them DULUTH, Minn., Aug. 11.—Wholesale disregard of old Indian treaties by the State of Minnesota and the United States Government is charged by the Chippewa Indians of Minnesota, who seek between $50,000,000 and $100,000,000 from the Federal Government in suits authorized by Congress. The Indians allege the State of Minnesota wrongfully obtained some 300 acres classed improperly as "swamp land," and charge that lumber was cut from land classified by the Government as agricultural land. The suits involve the reservations marked out in treaties of 1854 and 1855. The United States Supreme Court held the Government was responsible for the wrong classification of swamp, timber and farm land.

POVERTY is an ill that affects a large portion of mankind, and, like many diseases, it persists because the cure is not within easy reach of the victims. No one wants to remain poor, the miseries attendant on such a condition being too distressing. And so the impecunious work and live and hope that some day the luck of King Midas will come their way, and their every touch will glitter gold! Poor people are dependent on others for the necessities of life. The beggar gets his dole from the more fortunate; the poor worker gets his meagre pay envelope from his boss, hence life to them is made happy or miserable, according to the will of the philanthropist and employer. To be truly independent one must have money invested, so that whether one wants to play golf or play the fool, that money will be earning enough to meet all expenses. To work for money is the poor man's maxim, to make his money work for him is the rich man's privilege. The wage-earner sells part of his time for so much per week or month, and during his working hours he is the slave of his boss; the balance of his time he sleeps and gets a little recreation so as to better fit himself for work again. When he gets sick his wages cease, and if he quits work he soon exhausts whatever little he was able to save. The result is either to return to work or starve. Poor nations, like individuals, are always at the mercy of the rich and powerful. They dare not run their domestic affairs without the interference of foreign bankers who loan them money, or stir up revolution within their borders, so as to profit by intervention of rich nations. The poor race is in an even more unfortunate position, for being made up of a larger number the condition is aggravated. The Negro race is the poorest of all races, yet Africa is the richest continent in the world. Why? because all Negroes have not yet learned this value of Africa, and not knowing, they made no united effort to hold and protect it. Their attitude is similar to the ignorant bushman who found a diamond, and, not knowing the value of it, he exchanged it with a wily Englishman for a ten-cent string of beads. One may be rich in values and not know the use of it or unable to convert it into currency. Good health is valuable, a sound brain is better than a bank account, if the owner knows how to use it. So the world moves on, race against race, nation attacking nation, and rich against poor, all seeking wealth and power. Fiji Women Set Fashions For Americans, Chief Says OMAHA. Neb.-Bobbed hair and short dresses are customs American women have borrowed from his people. Ratu Mell Halabogi, native chieftain of the island of Viti Levu, of the Fiji group, declared. He is touring America with J. F. Fulton, a missionary in the Fiji Islands for thirty-two years. "In my association with white people I have noticed many changes in their dress," the chief said. "The girls and women used to dress more modestly. Now the girls' dresses are short, the way the dress of my people are. You have borrowed many customs from us. One of them is robbed hair. The girls of the Polynesian people have worn their hair bobbed for many years. "My people with black faces use paint to make them blacker.

So the world moves on, race nation, and rich against poor, all WOMAN MARCHES ALONG From The New York Sun Miss Ederle's success in swimming the English Channel aroused the greatest enthusiasm among women, if the readings of popular reaction contributed to the press by students of feminism are accurate. In the intricate politics that characterises some offaboots of the movement for equality of sexes her triumph appears to have become invested with a significance less interested observers may at first glance fail to detect in it. Overnight Miss Ederle was transported from the domain of sport to the forum of politics. She may be astonished to find how her feat has been interpreted in some quarters. Very few women can swim the Channel, but a great many seek office work. It is an interesting coincidence that while Miss Ederle was writing her name indelibly on the roster of athletic fame the Union Pacific Railroad Company was announcing at in Omaha offices that as women leave its service the vacancies will be filled with men. This order is general for that part of the railroad system between Omaha and Ogden and affects all classes of employees except stenographers and comptometer operators in the headquarters of the company. It is explained that before the war the policy of the railroad was to employ men in the hope and expectation that among those admitted to minor jobs would be found material for executive positions, and the present bar on women simply means return to that practice. Apparently the management of the road has not found among women a sufficient proportion of those who are capable and willing to undergo the hard training to which executives must submit. It has been the experience of many employers that while men look on a job as a permanent thing, women, with few exceptions, regard it as a stop-gap. Feminine leaders, however, will point to many women efficient as executives who devote their lives to business. While everybody was still wondering at the grit, the strength and the aquatic skill of Miss Ederle a Boston printing house issued an order forbidding bare knees and rolled stockings among its employees. The younger men working in its plant were distracted by such displays, according to the head of the firm, and it was decided to protect them and incidentally keep the production figures up. How young men so sensitive to whatever allurement bare knees and rolled stockings in the present state of feminine style may offer ever succeed in getting to the shop on time is not explained. Perhaps only the knees and horses of their fellow workers interest them! These items on the balance sheet of feminine progress present a pumice to the philosopher; and that is entirely appropriate, for women have always puzzled philosophers.

KANT INSTITUTE THIS FOURTH WEEK, AUGUST 24, 2019 Youthful Bride Told To "Budget Expense And Save Love" Adopt a family expense budget and you will do much to insure a successful marriage, Chris G. Woodhouse of the United States bureau of home economics advise home makers in a bulletin just published. Scores of letters from housewives from all parts of the country telling of family troubles and asking for information on planning home expenses have been received by the bureau. In response to these pleas the bureau issued the budget plan. "In order to spend wisely," the bulletin stated, "you must know what you have to spend. The first step in making your budget is to estimate your income. Next list all the articles and services that your family is likely to need during the year. List every expenditure. Set aside something for the "rainy day" and take out insurance enough to care for the family. "Now compare the totals of the two lists—your estimated income and your estimated expenditures. For safety the expenditures should be somewhat under the income. Go over the expenditures until this margin appears. You may find some extravagances if you look for them, especially in your small expenditures." The budget plan operates best on a monthly basis, it was advised. Apportion the income according to the budget. Write down each day just how much has been expended in order to be certain of the total at the end of the month. Give each member of the family an allowance for personal expenses. The bulletin urges "Do not make your recording of expenditures a family nuisance, the main subject of conversation at the evening meal. "It is not necessary to account for every penny. It is not how much money you have to spend but how you spend it and what you get for it that is important. Knowing this you can spend more advantageously next month." WHERE IS WOMAN'S PLACE? Question Being Satisfactorily Answered by Flapper and Grandmother Allike By MRS. WALTER FERGUSON "Where's is woman's place?" is a question that is raised by many men and women. Answers differ, according to the individual who gives them. Certainly in this age of common sense there is only one reasonable reply. Woman's place is where she finds most happiness. This is the theory upon which men have worked since the days of Adam. Why should it not prove equally satisfactory for women? The most of us still believe that a woman finds her best contentment from a home life, but because we happen to be made that way is no reason why we should infer that many other women may not actually prefer a career. Spinsters of Yesterday We talk a lot sometimes about the home-loving and happy woman of bygone days, but we soldom ponder upon all those sad spinsters who went through life serving somebody else and whose existence was as arid as desert sands. The New England old maid was at one time a national institution. Whole families of girls spent their lives in the bleak atmosphere of household tasks which were too light to keep one person busy. They ministered to their married relatives, but so far as personal happiness was concerned their lives were a vacuum. This sad condition need never again exist in the life of the American woman. Today the girl who is unfortunate in her love affairs can always turn to work and there find surcause for her sorrow. And the woman who has spent her heat years in the service of husband and children need not contemplate a lonesome old age, because there are now so many fascinating tasks for her hands and brains. The woman of yesterday gave up enjoyment at middle age and sat about waiting for death; her granddaughter may remain interested and busy and glad until she is ninety. Mon Not Competent to Judge Another thing. No man has a right to give his opinion upon what a woman shall do with her life. For men have always planned their existence according to what they thought would bring them the most joy. Today not one of them has any conception of the terrible sameness of the woman's life of twenty-five years ago. Whenever they set themselves up as authority, they speak from supposition and not from experience. $ ^{*} $ PURPOSE By Grima Kimberly Egnew Gid, give me strength To most my life demands.

NOTES OF INTEREST Hampers China In China the economic and nationalist struggles are inextricably intertwined. For China has the greatest cheap-labor supply on earth. It is good labor, too—and European capital which at first merely bought native products cheap, has for two or three decades been attempting to instal Western factories with Western methods to make Western products with the labor of China. Wisen New England passed anti-child-labor laws it exported its low child-size machines to China as well as to our own South, and the little girls of China are today competing with the children of our South Atlantic States. Lewis S. Gannett The Need of Kindergartens America can still afford to be profligate with her children as few European countries now can be. A depleted nation like England which must hold its human assets more readily accepts the ancient Greek conception of education, where the state gives its time and treasure not alone to the literacy of its citizens but to their individual perfection, physical, emotional and intellectual. Once the state has accepted this responsibility, there is little controversy as to the time when it must begin. Centuries before vital statistics proved the physical importance of early childhood, its preeminence in mental development was recognized. The Blight of Indecision Countless tragedies are caused by indecision when our only salvation lies in quick and decided action. Multitudes of careers are blighted at the outset by the fatal habit of indecision. Everywhere we find men and women of good education and fine natural ability occupying inferior positions because they couldn't make up their minds early in life what career to choose. William James, the greatest and most helpful of our psychologists, says that if a youth makes up his mind to succeed in any calling, provided it is within the range of his abilities, no power on earth can prevent him from attaining his ambition. Dr. O. S. Marden Hollywood Disillusioning The East ions can check actions, but they can not control thoughts. The colored people think a great deal less of us than they did, even though they may be too cautious to act on their opinions. For this state of affairs the motion-pictures are not, of course, alone responsible. The spread of native education, the unedifying spectacle of the World War, the talk about self-determination and the sacredness of nationality, with the promise of liberation made and never carried into effect—these have done much, perhaps most. But the share of Hollywood in lowering the white man's prestige is by no means inconsiderable. A people whose own propagandists proclaim it to be mentally and morally deficient, can not expect to be looked up to. Aldons Huxley. Life Is a Hurdle Race There are too many of us that have in our makeup a touch of the English gentleman who remarked: "I EATS well. I SLEEPS well, and I FEELS well. But when they talk to me of work I come all over of a tremble." Clear the hurdles, ambitiously day after day, week in and week out, month in and month out, year in and year out, until you have run, jumped and worked long enough to make yourself at least independent—that seems an appealing programme to many of us, but THAT'S THE PROGRAMME.

PAYS ITS PRESIDENT We feel sure our readers would like to know something about the pay envelope of the chief executive of the richest country in the world. The following excerpt from an interview with Mice Kate Shen, written by Vincent M. Beodes in Success Magazine, lets us into the "know": "On the last day of the month I step across the White House yard with Mr. Coolidge's check for $6,550. I go straight to his office in the west wing—the same office where so many people shake hands with the chief executive almost every noon-time. You remember the secretary's plain, business-like office, and the President's room beyond." It was a familiar sight. I nodded and she went on without pausing. "Well, I personally and literally hand the President his envelope. Of course he always thanks me and makes some kind remark, but he is usually occupied with papers at his desk, and seldom anecdote does he pass out! Oh yes, I do remember that poor Mr. Harding, in the July before he died, said to me, 'Well, Miss Shea. I hope you have brought me enough to go fishing on.'" "But, Miss Shea. I thought the President now received more than $6,250 a month." "And it is 'only' you say! I call it a tidy sum, but the actual salary is only what you might call the base pay. President Coolidge is allowed $25,000 additional for travel expense, and Congress appropriates $125,000 for the upkeep of the White House. There are sixty servants and seventeen acres of ground. "During the next six months repairal are to be made to the White House roof and other parts of the buildings. Congress has granted the President $25,000 for the rental of temporary headquarters during his absence from the White House. No. I do not know where he will reside after he returns from the Adriadnacks. White Vice-President he rented an apartment at the New Willard Hotel. The executive offices are separately maintained Stationery, telegrams and telephone service come to $26,000. The President's printing allowance is $3,000. "You have noticed the special police force at the White House, their uniform decorated with gold buttons? The three officers and thirty private cost $9,000. "Ofhand I cannot tell you how many men are employed on the President's yacht, the Mayflower, or the cost of sailing it, but I imagine the crew must total nearly two hundred. "I honestly do not think the President is given enough salary. President Coolidge is by no means a rich man in his own right. Think of those European rulers with their fat incomes. It is only within the last few months that our foreign embassies have been permitted a sufficient sum for adequate bufflings." RECEIPE Pistachio Caramels Mix one pound granulated sugar, one and one-half pounds corn syrup, one quart sweet cream and one can condensed milk.

African Travels Described By Princess Marie Louise LONDON, July 31—An intimate, and often slightly naive account of South Africa has just been published by the Princess Marie Louise, daughter of the late Prince Christian of Schleswig-Holstein and Princess Helena, third daughter and fifth child of Queen Victoria, in "Letters From the Gold Coast." Princess Marie Louise, who is a cousin to King George, found "perfectly lovely" the country which is known to many of those who live there year in and year out as the "white man's grave." Her book is made up of letters written to her sister, Princess Helena Victoria, during a seven weeks' motor tour of West Africa and the Gold Coast. She skips lightly from the Driver Anz, which eat every thing which comes their way, to Achimota, the new form of education which avoids denationalizing the native, to a plea for the abolition of the sightenouth shift of white nurses. She gives the geneological tree of the Kings of Youdi, with special comment on the King who had 150 children. The princess, who is fifty-three years old, writes with an almost girlish enthusiasm of her trip. Neither her nor her sisters have had much opportunity for travel-de-luxe, as their father, like most of Queen Victoria's sons-in-law, was a princeling in very moderate financial circumstances. Particularly well written in a description of the country through which the writer's brother, Prince Christian Victor, who was killed in the South African War, struggled, sick with fever, as an officer in the British punitive force launched against King Premph of Shanti, thirty years ago. Beauty Parlors Face State Law Regulation WASHINGTON. Aug. 14.—With the art of preserving beauty through hair culture and treatment claiming a high place each year in the growth of the Race's business and semi-professional enterprises, beauty experts and apprentices of the Race may well note the trend of the state to regulate, by legislation, the practice of hair preservation and the cosmetic arts. During the past year, eight states, Arkansas, Connecticut, Illinois, Missouri, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah and Wisconsin enacted laws regulating the examination and licensing of proprietors of beauty parlors, cosmeticians and cosmetic therapists. In the states named applications for license must be made only by persons 16 years of age, who have had training under a registered operator or instructor. Applicants must pass, examination by a state board of cosmetic therapy and pay an annual registration fee, varying from $5 to $10. FITS Attacks Stopped over night, in many cases—by new treatment.

Aug. 6. — History, drama and science are the medium used by the Women's Bureau of the U. S. Department of Labor in its exhibits at the National Sequential Exposition to set forth facts about wage-earning women. Progress of women in industry and changes in industrial methods affecting women are graphically told by means of an automatic delineascope. The problems of women wage-carners of today are presented also by means of paintings and stereopticon pictures shown on a billboard bearing the words, "The Home Maker as Wage-carner, a problem play in four acts." Another striking feature of the exhibits is the interior of a factory employing women workers under model conditions and containing a motion picture which shows not only the hardships confronting women in industry, but the means for overcoming such drawbacks. The studies of the U. S. Women's Bureau, distributable by the Superintendent of Documents, U. S. Government Printing Office. Washington, contain many figures and facts concerning thousands of Negro women employed in the industries of the country at large.-C. P. B. French Loss Heavy in Syria LONDON.

All the quxillarien of our diviaion are function- Ing well, better than for somo time. And the attendance at all meetings 1s constantly increasing. The preliminary part of the program rendered Sunday, August 5, was by the Juvenile department, under the direc- tion of Madam Mand FE. Lawson, the whine lady vice president. After they had concluded thelr program, the gavel was turned over to the president. Hon. E. B. Knox. who after making a few remarks, and having the front page message of the Negro World read, in- reduced Lawyer J. C. Adama as the principal apeaker of the evening. The arge audience registered entire satle- action with the entire program. ‘= ® MRNOX. Renerter. ANTHLLA, CUBA August 1 was celebrated with an appropriate program.

At the conclusion of the program, the indy president gave the closing address which was a masterpiece. She thanked the gathering for their Xind attendance, and brought the meeting to a close with the singing of the Ethiopian Anthem.

BUSINESS Advance D EVELOP Vin Euan Rane Tian Treas: Stoam Eure cai Nuestro elemento en Africa y fuera de agua continente atacilla la misma clase de educación del europeo y del mismo modo que este y el americano han modelado su sistema educativo durante lo último circunstanta años, debe dicho elemento adaptar la política de enaltecimiento intelectual en beneficio propio. ificultadies que afrenta la dirección de la raza—Poco reconocimiento de su labor altruista—En la ardina lucha por la existencia—Africa como el único objetivo del universo entero—Provennes para nosotros mismo antes de los cambios en perspectiva La educación universitaria se halla regularmente fuera del alcance de la mama comun; ella es de gran importancia porque prepara al individuo para enseñar a los demas los medios mas eficientes en el ramo que estos seleccionen. En la industria, en el comercio, en la financia, es de suma importancia que la persona esté compenetrada de la ocupación que elija para ganarse la vida. No hay necesidad de tener conocimiento pleno en todos los ramos de las actividades humanas. En uno de sus discursos pronunciados en el Liberty Hall le esta ciudad algún tiempo ha, el presidente de nuestra ización, honorable Marcus Garvey, entre otras cosas sde mi niñez he demostrado siempre mi deseo de ajar. A los catorce años de edad, hacia yo el trabajo un hombre y nunca en el desmayé para probar miitud como tal. Pero jamas pensé que existiera una tea tan ruda y dificultosa, hasta que tomé las riendas de rección de la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la aza Negra. Dentro de esa linea especial y para cuadrar en el trabajo selecto se han desarrollado y se desarrollan aun los sistemas educativos de Europa y de America. El individuo a falta de esa preparación tiene que recurrir a las filas del trabajo comun, aunque esté dotado de una mediana educación, siendo esta clase de labor la mas ruda y la menos recompensada entre las multiples ocupaciones. Muy pocos trabajadores estan salisfechos con la mínima renumeración que perciben, dado al costo de la vida sobre ellos impuesto y por tal razon su anhelo de progresar educativamente. Todo director de cualquier movimiento reformista, ha enido sus dificultades y sus martirios. No ha existido aun movimiento alguno en el cual su leader no haya sufrido de un modo 6 de otro por la causa que defendiera y no haya recibido la ingratitud como su recompensa. Por lo que a mi personalmente respecta, estoy preparado para sufrir las consecuencias. Los que con la major intención tratamos de dirijir las masas de nuestro pueblo por el camino franco hacia su bienestar, no ambicionamos laureles ni prebendas. Nuestra mayor satisfacción estriba en las manifestaciones de apreciación de parte de aquello a quienes dirijimos. Este ha sido uno de los principales objetivos de las organizaciones del trabajo universalmente y ellas han sido ganando terreno en la adquisición de mejor renumeración y mejor condicionar para el trabajador, en lo que a su modus vivendi concierne. Pero nunca podran igualar en este respecto. con aquellos dotados de una educación que les facilitate seleccionar una labor especial y mas lucrativa. El comunismo aspira a una distribución por igual, sentando su base en su desarrollo, el industrialismo moderno. El mundo ha tenido muy poco que decir en beneficio de sus directores. Nada bueno dijo de Jesus, de Mahoma, de Lutero y de otros grandes reformistas. Por regla general los leaders nunca disfrutan de la apreciación popular durante su existencia. Despues de su muerte las masas se dan cuenta de su labor bienhechora. Nunca he de esperar yo, por consigulente, de parte de mi propio pueblo, ninguna manifestación que tienda a reconocer la importancia de mi labor. Sin embargo, no he de perder de vista por un solo instante, la visión de una patria redimida y de una raza emancipada, sin preocuparme lo que a mi acontezca en persecusión de tan laudable ideal. La educación tanto manual como intellectual es una necesidad imperiosa para el africano. Tiene que educarse en la ciencia de la agricultura, de la industrial, del comercio, de la financia, del gobierno civil; debe saber distinguir el diamante de la piedra ordinaria y el oro de cualquier otro metal. Debido a esta falta de conocimientos, el negro en Africa se ve privado de sus tierras y el trabajo y el gobierno han sido boycotizados por los blancos de Europa y de America. La lucha en que nuestra organización se halla empeñada determina nuestra estabilidad y su derrota indicará un destino funesto para nuestro pueblo. Africa hoy mas que nunca es el punto de mira del universo entero y mientras el elemento de nuestra raza se opone el uno al otro aquí, allá y mas allá, manifestando muchos que nada se les ha perdido en Africa, la raza blanca se reconcentra, explora y explotar alquel extenso contiente no solamente beneficiando ella al presente, sino también preparando el terreno para sus. generaciones venideras. Si el negro ha de recuperar lo que ha perdido debido a su ignorancia, tiene que hacerlo por medio de una educación eficiente; tiene que prepararse intelectualmente. Su educación hasta aqui ha estado a cargo del hombre blanco, quien se ha limitado a indicarle el modo más facil de morir en vez del medio más practico para subsistir. No solamente de Francia, de Italia y de Inglaterra van grupos de hombres a estudiar las riquezas minerales, agrícolas, industriales y acuómicas de Africa, sino también de America se ven salir, enviados por instituciones filantrópicas, otros grupos de hombres a estudiar las posibilidades que puedan beneficiar a la raza blanca, con la cual estamos diariamente en contacto. Nada de extraño tendría que dentro de cien años, si los que tomanos participación en encarrier este movimiento, no llegamos a la realización de un algo que determine nuestras aspiracines, el Africa, nuestro propio suelo, se convierta en otro contiente para blancos como lo es Europa y lo son las Americas. Los signos del tiempo nada práctico, nada beneficial indican para esta raza nuestra; el ejercicio de tal practiciamo y la adquisición de tal bondad, dependan exclusivamente de nuestro propio esfuerzo, de nuestra propia acción. La política de este movimiento de progreso estriba en dar al negro una educación practica tal, de manera que su condición social, civica y económica le se reconocida, obteriendo a la vez los mejores resultados de ella. Una universidad en las riberas del rio James en este país, por consiguiente, es una institución indispensable para encarrier la política educativa de esta organización. Las controversias religiosas y la paz universal La rotura de relaciones entre el gobierno de Méjico y la Iglesia Católica ha dejado sentir su efecto en el mundo entero, porque el principio en cuestión de uno u otro modo concierre a la humanidad. ¿Saldrá triumfante en esta controversia el pueblo representado por el gobierno organizado o la Iglesia Católica representada por sus obispos y sacerdotea seleccionados por Roma? Una y otra vez he de repetir que la única esperanza es la redención de la patria, de nuestros antepasados; en caso contrario, el futuro de la raza, su posibilidad para sobrevivir los grandes cambios que hayan de desarrollarse universalmente, será mas que dudosa. Hablamos de estar satisfechos en este país, en el Canada, en el Imperio Británico; tal vez le estaremos temporalmente. Los tiempos cambian, oimos decir amenudo. Si esos cambios no se operan en un año, se operarán en un siglo y nuestros hijos, nuestros generaciones venideras con sobrada razon nos encosmalgarán, si no nos esforzamos para librarles de las ingenoviciones que el porvenir les tenga reservado. El pueblo y las autoridades mejicanas soatienen el principio de que la iglesia y el estado, la religión y la política, deben ocupar dos plaf formas distinca. Tal actitud ha prevalcado desde la revolución protestante capitanenda por Lutero. Ante de esta revolución y mucho tiempo despues de haber convertido el cielocielismo en un poder, la superación de la iglesia del estado, antigua en proximo dilencado, en la lluvia a la realización, por cuja amenaza curvidil una reunión de parte de la iglesia orden. El Gran Crendor no ha de salvarse de tal situación. El bien por nosotros todo cuesta pudo; nos dio vida, nos enlazé en este paricio terrestrial, provisto de todo lo necesario para mantener sobelertice y al no ejerciamos nuestras diligencias o la medida de acquirimos fondos, esté sustra toda la vida; y bien no inerviven al el impuesto negligible de sustracción pobre en la vida; en nada le sustrajeron el destino de su fin y de sus necessities. Si no nutrires nuestro alquiler, provee ganancias de bauteo; Dice que nos ha de sobre el que de nada dio, al mucho menos ha de proveer sustracción pobre. Dice que teongueva sustracción pobre. dimen y como remindido de ello la lucha entre y la posibilidades de encuesta confinadas. La misión internacional exige en los problemas de Asia y Africa con motivo de la diferenza religiosa. Los mecanismos, budistas y custeares de paguadas secas no han ligado a un entendido y ninguna tolerancia en manifesta entre ellas; muy por el contrario, emasfan las tribus, las subdivisiones y las individualidades en un estado de antagonismo que estiba en destrucción. De esta situación se aventaja el invasor para explotar y dominar los pueblos de Asia y Africa. Hoy día notamos una gran intranquilidad y mayor duda, en lo que a religión respecta, en las Americas, en Europa, en Asia y en Africa y la pas universal se ve amenada de nuevo con las manifestaciones de este sentimiento esfervecente. El verano de los trabajadores En pocos países como en los Estades Unidos, la concepcion del reposo de los trabajadores ha llegado a elevarse la catagoria de noción de importancia esencial. La vacación es aqui ya una verdadera institución pública. La consagran en sus oficinas los establecimientos oficiales y las empresas particulares. La observan estrictamente todos los ciudadanos. La respetan hasta los menos habituados a tal idea, a poco de hallarse en este medio. Es interesante estudiar el resultado del periodo de descanso que se concede o se acuerdan a si mismos cuantos trabajan en este país. Muchos son los paises del mundo en que sólo en determinadas profesiones y en ciertas categorias, consigue los asalariados un periodo de duración regular para entregarse al reposo durante el estio. En la mayoría de las naciones la vacación es aún desconocida en general. Y sólo raramente se haila en el extranjero un puesto que la regule y extienda tan importantes como el americano. No deja de causar ello cierta desorientación al observador extranjero. Hav quien considera estravagante y despilfarrador el hibito de dedicar en masa, -cuantos trabajan aqui, una o- varias semanas al asuse teraniego anual. Y si se calcula en dolares y en horas de trabajo la pérdida que suponen las vacaciones de millones de personas, la cifra ingente a que se llega puede hacer vacilar a cualquiera. Pero observando interiormente el funcionamiento de las vacaciones, sólo alanzas merece su organización. Los días concedidos a la masa de trabajadores para entregarse a si mismos, para buscar mejor clima, para conocer parajes distintos, para recorrer paises nuevos, son de imensita utilidad para los mismos que, directamente, tienen que afrontar el gasto de esas horas de improductividad del trabajador. Este regresa a su tarea, tonificado por la vida higiénica, la despreocupación mental y la satisfacción de independencia de los días de libertad. Las horas de descamso, los días de emancipación del cotidiano trajinar, le han imbuido nuevo espiritu, que en vez de restarle laboriosidad se la estimula con el acrecentado impulso de una vitalidad multiplicada. El tedio inevitable a la continuidad de sus labores al largo de un año, queda rota por el grato parentesis de la vacación. El le sirve para mil pequeñas satisfacciones físicas y espirituales y le da ocasión de ampliar su visión y su iniciativa con viajes y comparaciones que le proporcioha el alejamieno del medio en que se mueve el resto del año. Por todo esto, las vacaciones, en la forma que aqui se practican deberian extenderse a todos nuestros peises. Para ello habria que hacer un ajustamiento general en la organización profesional tal vez. Pero, como en los Estados Unidos, se encontrará que valía bien la pena el esfuerzo, ante los bienes que se recogen aquí con esta simpática institución—La Prensa, N.Y. En contra de concesiones El presidente del senado del archi- pielago filipino, ha facilitado a la prensa una nota en la que dice que el parbufo filipino esta anuale de dar a este poio la goma y sedas las com- odidades que nacieron; para que el si opodrenda a cualquier plan tendiente a comandar los leyes territoriales, para llevar a cabo el desarrollo de esta cualquier otra industria. So ha pidadse presente en el almuer- del archiplano, una ley poem al arquidinamico de las ciencias que guidan en materia prensa. (Continued from page 50 in this Philippine labor in religious chores and relatively deep. In the southern islands, white rubber can be grown, the present basis wage for agricultural labor is from 40 cents to 60 cents a day. Black woven would not do all, for rubber. The Dutch and British in the East Indies pay 20 cents a day for Indians and Javanese and 50 cents a day for Chinese. There is no labor in the Philippines to be had at rates like these. Philippine labor isn't even "disciplined" like cocaine labor in the East. As Mr. Heever's agents have pointed out: "It is generally admitted that the chief drawback to Philippine labor is its independence." Worse still. Not only is Philippines labor expensive (that is, accustomed to being paid what passes there as a decent wage); in addition, the supply itself is wholly inadequate. Mr. Hoover's investigators estimated the maximum number of laborers who could "ultimately" be mobilized among the population of the southern islands at 15,000. The amount of rubber these workmen could produce would be roughly equivalent to just one week's consumption in the United States. There is some hope of recruiting 15,000 more workmen from the northern islands, but not without additional expense. And even here would be labor endough only to produce rubber which would last the United States six weeks a year. And so we come to this: To grow rubber in the Philippines in quantities and at costs which will cut prevailing prices and break a terrible monopoly now held by the British. Congress will be asked to wink one eye at action which will make the southern islands a sink of sweated labor and give its approval to the Bacon bill, cutting the islands in two parts. One part will consist of the northern islands, where the Filipinos proper live, where rubber doesn't grow well and where inconvenient laws exist against the importation of cheap Oriental labor. The other part will consist of Mindanao (the best rubber island) and a few surrounding islands where the Moros live. And this part of the archipelago will receive a separate jurisdiction, outside the province of the Filipinos, directly under the American flag, protected against all modelling by reformers and stocked to the last inch with cheap coolie labor which can be exploited to one's heart's content. And the detestable purpose which is argued in behalf of such separation of the islands into two groups? Rubber? No; no; not rubber. This is to be done in the name of religious liberty to protect the Moros of the south (who are Mohammedans) from persecution by the Christian Filipinos of the north: It is a fine little scheme and all it asks is that the Coolidge Administration go on record for the rest of time as the first American administration to establish a system of Government-protected peon labor within the frontiers of the United States. Will the Coolidge Administration lend a hand?

Fight for Freedom Has Just Begun To the Editor of The Negro World: In a recent issue of your paper you made mention of an article written by a white correspondent in the "Los Angeles Times," stating, "The surrender of Fes may mark the last struggle to a losing fight to preserve Africa for the Africans." It is very amusing to read such comments, and it makes one wonder where did the writer get that fool stuff. Instead of saying "may mark the last struggle to a losing fight," he should say, "will mark the first struggle in a winning fight to preserve Africa for the Africans, those at home and those abroad." We are the New Negro—offspring of the great, indefatigable tiger—Marcus Garvey—whose treed has shaken the world. Could anyone think that we could or would succeed to one single knockout? No, this is only the beginning of sorrows. This is only the preliminary, and the world knows it was some scrap. It's not the blows you give that oceans, but the blows you take. Not the times you were knocked down, but the times you rise. England's possessions were not acquired at a single moment, nor was Remembr or Greece. The Germans did not defeat the French in 1870. Heaven is not reached at a single bound, but we build the ladder on which we rise from the lowly earth to the vaulted skies and we mount to the summit round by round. We Must Suffer If We Would Win To the Editor of The Negro World: The time has come very definitely for the Negroes of the world to organize their forces wisely, diplomatically, educationally and financially to build a government and nation of their own strong enough to protect all from the unit to the collective body of Negroes. This, our aim and object, cannot be successfully accomplished unless we make the necessary preparation for the fulfillment of our purpose. We must be prepared to suffer as others who had an ideal have suffered. We must be prepared to suffer as our noble leader in suffering. Greater sacrifices must be made, and heavier responsibilities be borne in order to put over the gracious program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, the only movement of its kind that tends to solve the race problem and emancipate four hundred million scattered sons and daughters of Ethiopia. would fail to shoulder the gigantic task of uniting Negroes everywhere. Negroes of various nationalities and development. Surely this is not an easy task and Marcus Garvey was not disobedient unto his heavenly call. He universally called 400,000,000 Negroes to one united front with one united object, a free and redeemed Africa and an emancipated Negro race. So long as Garvey lives he shall be the dictator of the policy of the Negro peoples of the world. The Negro is surrounded with a rigid atmosphere that holds his hands chapped and eyes partly closed. Through such a rigid binding the Negro is unable to make his full share of contribution to the world and civilization. Leaders may come and go but the teachings and inspiration of Marcus Garvey will live on forever.

August 23. Choral units have been rehearsing in various parts of the city as well as in Baltimore, Washington, Richmond, Petersburg, Newport News and Portsmouth. It is planned to have these units together for the monatrous songfest for the evening of August 22, and the rendition of spirituals and the works by Negro composers will be one of the most remarkable achievements by Negroes in musical history of America. The affair is being conducted under the auspices of the committee on Negro activities of the Sequencentennial International Exposition, of which Mr. J. C. Asbury is chairman. "Loyalty's Gift" hold last month attracted a record-breaking crowd, which taxed the capacity of the auditorium, one of the largest convention halls in the country. For this reason the songtest is being staged in that stadium, which has a capacity of 100,000 people, and it is expected that the audience will all this giant structure. Mr. Asbury is at present in the South, "opcouraging the work of the local leaders in that territory. Special Feature A special feature of the music feast will be the presentation of Mr. George Leon Johnson, internationally famous lyric tenor, and for a number of years star of the well-known Williams Singers. Mr. Johnson has appeared in several cities in the United States as well as in Great Britain, Holland, France, Germany and Italy. He is at present musical specialist for the Playground and Recreation Association of America, and has been released especially for this engagement. The demand for seats, which are now on sale in a number of centrally located agencies, and the advance sale to date indicates a record-breaking attendance. Special excursions to the Sesqu are being arranged by railroad company officials in connection with this event, especially for Maryland and Virginia territories.

Fort Fisher Bombardment Greatest by Any Navy The statement of historians that the main assault in the civil war upon Fort Fisher, at the mouth of the Cape Fear River, in North Carolina, was the greatest naval bombardment in the world's history, never has been disputed—that is, in number of ships engaged and guns used. Of course, larger battleharms and guns were employed in the world war in the battle of Jutland. The fall of Fort Fisher in January, 1865, broke the resistance of the Confederacy. It was no longer possible for Lee and his army to obtain by means of blockade runners the supplies of medicine, food and clothing so necessary to a continuance of the struggle. Therefore, the, inevitable had to be faced, says a writer in the Charlotte, N. C., News and Observer. Lee's surrender to Grant followed the fall of Fort Fisher within ninety days.
