Fellowmen of the Negro Race, Greeting: It is my duty to bring to your attention this week a grave evil that afflicts us as a people at this time. Our race, within recent years, has developed a new group of writers who have been prostituting their intelligence, under the direction of the white man, to bring out and show up the worse traits of our people. Several of these writers are American and West Indian Negroes. They have been writing books, novels and poems, under the advice of white publishers, to portray to the world the looseness, laxity and immorality that are peculiar to our group, for the purpose of these publishers circulating the libel against us among the white peoples of the world, to further hold us up to ridicule and contempt and universal prejudice. McKay'a "Home to Harlem". Several of these books have been published in America recently, the last of which in Claude McKay's "Home to Harlem," published by HarperCollins of New York. This book of Claude McKay's is a powerful label against the Negro. It is doing a great deal of harm by further creating prejudice among the white people against the Negro. I have now before me what purports to be the most horrific recipe of the book by "John O' London's Woman," and have to supplement the entire review for the book by "John O' London's Woman." I have also read the book by "John O' London's Woman," and have to supplement the entire review for the book by "John O' London's Woman." White Publishers Use Negroes The white people have these Negroes to write the kind of stuff that they desire to feed their public with so that the Negro can still be regarded as a monkey or some imbecilic creature. Whenever authors of the Negro race write good literature for publication the white publishers refuse to publish it, but wherever the Negro is sufficiently known to attract attention he is advised to write in the way that the white man wants. That is just what has happened to Claude McKay. The time has come for us to boycott such Negro authors whom we may fairly designate as "literary prostitutes." We must make them understand that we are not going to stand for their insults indulged in to suit prejudiced white people who desire to hold the Negro up to contempt and ridicule. We must encourage our own black authors who have character, who are loyal to their race, who feel proud to be black, and in every way let them feel that we appreciate their efforts to advance our race through healthy and decent literature. Writers to Fight Negro Cause We want writers who will fight the Negro's cause, as H. G. Wells of the white race fights for the cause of the Anglo-Saxon group. Let us imagine Wells prostituting his intelligence and ability as an author to suit Negro publishers, as against the morals or interest of the Anglo-Saxon race. It is impossible. Yet there are many Negro writers who have prostituted their intelligence to do the most damaging harm to the morals and reputations of the black race. The following is the review of Claude McKay's book by the white paper, "John O' London's Weekly": THINKING BLACK A Negro's Extraordinary Novel About Negroes If we may judge by the novels and plays which reach us in gay and un- European bindings, "high brow" America has "gone kit per." A few years ago there was Mr. Negro O'Neill's "Emperor Jones" (it was, alas! a dis- Every Negro should send his friend, mother AFRICA FOR All landmen in the U. Mr. McKay, who stole to have some an early acquaintance for learning, was offered the chance of an education in the United States by a friend and took it. For two years he studied scientific farming in an American college, but the call of literature was not to be resisted, and so he left college to become a wanderer, a stoker, a Pullman-car attendant, a dock hand on the quays not only of New York but of London and Marseilles. It is in Europe, indeed, that he does his writing. "Home to Harlem," which is his first novel, has already gone into three editions in America within the space of two months. A Social Document "Home to Harlem" is not so much a novel as a social document about a race that few of us have tried to understand. Its hero is a slightly sentimental gentleman of color named Jake, who deserts from the American Expeditionary Force in France, not because he is a coward but because he is impatient to be "doing something." He comes to London to work at the decks at Limehouse, but after a time there comes the irresistible call of New York's colored colony: "It was two years since he had left Harlem. Fifth Avenue, Lenox Avenue, and One Hundred and Thirty-fifth Street, with their chocolate-brown and walnut-brown girls, were calling him. 'Oh, them legt.' Jake thought. Them tantalizing brown legs!" Barron's Cabaret! Leroy's Cabaret! Oh, boy!" And so Jake goes back to Harlem, with its cabaret, "speakeasies," its gin and flashing razors, its cinemas, in which only colored actors and actresses are shown on the screen, its ronged dusky-brown girls ("rouge on brown, a warm, insidious chestnut"), its intermingled poverty and luxury—a riot of color and gaiety (mixed with equalor), at which the white man can only stand amused. And as for the morals of Harlem, we are shocked only when we begin to refget that there aren't any morals there at all. Fantasia Jake has his adventures. He falls in love with a Congo entertainer at a cabaret, who disappears from his life as quickly as she comes into it. He gets mixed up with a gin-drinking Negro and her odd assortment of friends; becomes embroiled in a strike; becomes (as did his creator) a Pullman-car attendant; meets a Negro student who opens a new world of culture to his gaze; falls ill almost to death; recovers, and, at the end, meets again the little Congo Rose who had set his heart afame at the beginning. These are some of the episodes that make up a book that, in spite of the fast that it has the most slender of plots, holds our attention till the last page. We read on, not so much because of Jake's adventures as because of the shock and surprise of being in a new and unfamiliar world; because of the extraordinary vividness with which Mr. McKay brings its scenes before us. How our instance, in how Mr. McKay describes an all-black Harlem suburb "It was a scene of blazing color. Soft, barbaric, burning, savage, clashing, plainless colors . . . all rising together in wonderful harmony. There is no human sight so rich as an assembly of Negroes ranging from laquer black through beaten green, decked out in their ceremonial finery. Negroes are like tyrants, wearing all colors naturally. And Velocity, ronged to a revishing reverence, and wearing a close-fitting, chrome-orange freck and cork-brown slippers, just melted into the scene." We learn from Mr. McKay many hitherto unexposed things about Negro life, about their cooking, their food, about their attitude to white men and to each other, about their work, and about their almost incredible night life. The full-blooded Negro, for instance, has a contempt for the half-caste that is almost as violent as the old Marylander's for the Negro. And again: "Jake was very American in spirit and share, a little of that comfortable Yankee contempt for poor foreigners. And so an American Negro he looked ashow at foreign niggers. Africa was jungle, and African bush niggers, campfires. And West Indians were mummy-chains." The Real Tragedy But the real tragedy of "Home to Harlem," in spite of his many misfortunes, is not Jake, but Kay, the Negro student. As he himself confided to Jake:— "The first is, I don't know what I'll do with my little education. I wonder sometimes if I will get rid of it and go and lose myself in some savage culture in the Jungles of Africa. I am a mind—of the doctors who do care out negroes' advice to the well-fell might care—world with my little education and constant dreaming, when I should be sitting the nightmare hotel to sing in a whole lot of dough like everybody else in this country. Would you like to be educated to be like me?" Here, one finds, in unspoenable tragedy. Broud Blood of the Nunts In the autobiography Claude McKenzie we learn that his ancestors were from Managua, and that he had to have gone on a road trip to do not believe him. If there be ancestry back to Managua, I If I am not mistaken, a friend told me that stated and suggested that he has claim to the a Royal House in East Africa. It is rather a hear these libellers of the race talking about ancestry when they represent the lowest type of Negroes of royal ancestry always want to be pro race; they do not think any race better than their DuBois called a black man an ugly man simply he was black. Those of you who remember his the "Century Magazine" in 1920 will remember positively stated that to be black was to be ugly. The black royal blood of East Africa believes in the honor and integrity of the black race. DuBois to the contrary believes that the standard of beauty is to be found in the white man Something Funny It is funny that these writers are always sugge they are from royal black blood and yet they are ing their intelligence and ability as authors and against their race for the satisfaction of white people We are calling a halt on these libelous writers so we may develop authors and poets worthy of our race who will fight for the cause of the race.

BEN·DAVIS WAXES WROTH A FEW weeks ago a number of Negroes of Valdosta, Ga., got together and formed an "Al Smith for President League." This information was conveyed to us in the following news paragraph which appeared in numerous newspapers throughout the nation: "Valdosta, Ga., Sept. 7.—The race voters of this city have formed an 'Al Smith for President League.' The League, it is said, adopted resolutions condemning the Republican attitude toward the Negro and commending Smith's views on prohibition and other issues. "The Negro Democrat league is headed by Dr. L. W. Williams, prominent local physician and leader." In common with many newspapers, we became much interested in this news item. The American people, and the Negro group in particular, North, South, East and West, have for so long and so assiduously been taught to believe that it is heresy for a black man or woman to think politically along any other but Republican lines, that we rubbed our eyes as we read this epochal and welcome announcement. We were glad that Republican trickery and hypocrisy, deception and broken faith had been at last so fully revealed to the Negro that even below the Mason and Dixon line to sad Negro hearts revulsion had come. We rejoiced that in Georgia, as in other Southern communities, the new light had shone and that in the emergence of that great liberal, Alfred E. Smith, of New York, as the leader of the Nation's Democracy black men and women seemed to see a new ray of hope. We were inclined to applaud their action in breaking away from the fetters of a not unreasonable prejudice, to essay a change, to court the new phenomenon, and to take counsel of what might well prove to be Opportunity. We so felt because we are persuaded that the political status of the Negro in the South will be beaten by a malish attitude toward the Democratic party, and that any more than by a slavish obsequious We have days later we came across an editorial in the Atlanta Independent, which, commenting on the Valdosta Smith for President League, almost took our breath away. In the course of this editorial, which is reprinted in full on this page, the Atlanta Independent worked itself into a frenzy, styled the Valdosta League as "three cheap Negroes bidding for cheap notoriety," and made a bid for deathless fame by proclaiming that "A Democratic Negro is the only Negro that wants social equality." Recalling with deep pain that only a few brief months ago Ben Davis, as Republican National Committeeman for Georgia, was accounted one of the leaders of the people, and still amazed at the meticulous exemplification of the turn-the-other-check attitude which this victim of shameless Republicanism, under Hoover, has so carefully persevered in toward the Republican party, we gave vent to our grief and dismay. Predicating our editorial upon his vitriolic and, as we thought and still think, unwarranted attack upon his Valdosta kinsmen, we took him to task. In the September 15 issue of The Negro World we ventured to suggest that his nauseating embrace of the Republican party in the face of its treasonable dealing with him and his was considerably more funny to Negroes at large than Valdosta Negro Democrats ever could be to him, and we wondered what had the Negro race done to Ben Davis to cause him to conceive that "a Democratic Negro is the only Negro that wants social equality." We so mused and were prepared to forget the episode; but Ben Davis is not disposed to let us forget. In an editorial printed on the front page of the September 20 issue of the Atlanta Independent he comes back. He shuns the Valdosta affair and his mirtful pronunciamento about social equality (the cause of all the trouble) and, tearing his hair, seeks to castigate The Negro World, talks about Marcus Garvey and regales his readers with his reasons for "going along with the Republicans," who, every one but he knows, have long since ceased to go along with him. Says Ben Davis, editor of the Atlanta Independent: "The Independent is one hundred per cent. Republican because it cannot be bought by the democratic money or be bulldozed out of the party by ill white bastard Republicans and commercialized Negro graffers, who would sell their wives and daughters into political slavery and economical ruin, for pelf and plunder. We will enter into no endless quarrel with the World, but will content ourselves to give reasons for the faith that is in us. We have no quarrel with the Republican party, and if we have been mistreated as alleged by the World, it is a family affair within the Party, and it is no alien's business. "Party differences must be settled inside, not outside the Party. "We are Republicans and offer no apology for our Faith. The Independent has the same right to go along with the Republicans inside the organization that the World has to trail the Democratic Party outside of the ranks, with the hope of receiving a few crumbs from the hands of Heflin, Blease, and Pat Harrison. We are not going to get out of the ship into the sea. We are Republicans and no man inside the party, black or white, can make us forge its principles, because of real or imaginary grievances. Let come what may, our houses and we are going to fight it out aboard the Republican ship." If this is not the product of a disordered mind, then we do not know what is. If the Republican party, says our contemporary, in effect, is recreant to its trust; if it has practiced a damnable deceit with the Negro; if the more effectively to abdicate its professions and promises it singles out me, faithful soul, Negro Republican extraordinary, as the never-to-be forgotten example of what its heartlessness and treachery is capable, I will not complain; nor should you Negro complain. This is all a little family affair. Attend, ye offens, to your knitting! "Party differences must be settled inside." Who knows what the future has in store for me in rebus Republiquia? When the many palpable misstatements and inaccuracies, set down within Atlanta Independent with the guile of an infant, we shall not concern ourselves. It is quite possible that the Republican party did enfranchise the Negro world that 'ere we ring down the curtain on this disastrous situation, to take this opportunity to make our position clear. The Negro World has never and never will be controlled by money, Democratic or otherwise. We are as insecure as Marcus Garvey. The Negro World has never received a nine-year existence a penny, or the promise of a pension, any individual or party for political service, or any other means. The Negro World, under the guidance of Marcus Garvey, always espoused men and measures, realizing that there is an interest in a party name. The Negro World has not been promised a share and will not accept a penny from the Democratic party for electing the election of Alfred E. Smith in November. As the organ of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, the greatest Negro organization in the world, as the mouthpiece of the New Negro, we are above despicable bartering. The Negro World controls support of the Democratic party in the coming election, but it is not unmindful of the age-long hostility of the white man of the Southland toward the Negro. The Negro World knows, too, that the "white supremacy" spirit animates and has always animated and will always animate white men, the majority group in America, whether Socialist, Republican or Democratic, and that a frank exhibition of this spirit is to be preferred to the dark, deceiving ways of the hypocrite. The Negro World believes, as it stated in these columns on August 4, that "with Smith as President of the United States it is fair to assume that the status of the Negro the world over will be bettered by such influence as this Republic may choose and is able to exert," and that, "with Hoover in the White House you may be sure of a swift descent, nationally and internationally." When a few misguided Negro newspapers, now sorry for their sins, and penitent, indulged in an orgy of misrepresentation of Marcus Garvey and his organization, the Atlanta Independent at times, with reservations, did say a good word in his behalf. But we can see no reason why, because Ben Davis two years ago chose to give some true reflection of public opinion about Marcus Garvey. The Negro World today should be silent in the face of as ridiculous a pose as a Negro leader ever struck. The editor of the Atlanta Independent says, "We cannot be bought by Democratic money nor bulldozed by Lily White Republicans." The Negro World cannot be bought by Democratic money nor be bulldozed by any sort of a Republican, Lily White or otherwise. AID PORTO RICO RICO, America's adopted child, in and malaria have arrived to add to the fit by the storm. Porto Rico has help and the Red Cross, America has stretched across the water with many sufferers. The American people fraction dollars as soon as possible to the appeal will in due course reach the ones, and although American Missions give away, it is to be hoped that the real comes that thousands of Porto Rico and, therefore, the blood may gift, however small, must be used for its prompt assistance to be given all possible aid. Problem of assistance for Porto Rico means that international and provincial organizations of the international community are "frood" from the hand of its Spells have guided Porto Rican affairs. Protection never has been particularly held by the United States has consistently stay destiny of this small group. All of the best. We wondering if the United States will protection a bit further and in the near a appropriation which would materialization of this little country which most native-born Americans are size. We are told that the damage, fire destruction of the crops which a likelihood for thousands of natives durals a hundred million dollars. It is no must mean to a people who had stasis has swept away. The Red Cross is. But what are five million dollars one hundred million stood before. Poison from the United States to assist this economic legs. The United States has readily disposed toward Porto Rico and steps to relieve the condition of its hapless progress convenes. PORTO RICO, America's adopted child, is in dire distress. In influenza and malaria have arrived to add to the horror and despair left by the storm. Porto Rico has appealed to its foster parent for help and the Red Cross, American hand of mercy, has immediately stretched across the water with her over-present aid for any and all sufferers. The American people have been asked to give five million dollars as soon as possible to assist this distressed group. This appeal will in due course reach Black Americans as well as white ones, and although American Minnes, en masse, have very little to give away, it is to be hoped that they will remember when the appeal comes that thousands of Porto Ricans are of Negroid extraction and, therefore, the blood brothers of American Negroes. Any gift, however small, must be The Red Cross is to be commended for its prompt assistance in an unfortunate group and ought to be given all possible aid. But the problem of assistance for Porto Ricans far beyond the present help that international and governmental organizations are now addressing is that the American people have been under the wing of the national government since 1800, when Porto Rico was "freed" from the hand of its Spanish oppressor, American hands have guided Porto Rican affairs. It is said that the economic situation never has been particularly healthy there, but, good or bad, the United States has consistently stayed on the job of directing the destiny of this small group. All of which may have been for the best. Now we are wondering if the United States will not carry this benevolent protection a bit further and in the near future take steps to establish an appropriation which would materially assist in the economic rehabilitation of this little country which is now facing a condition which most native-born Americans are unable to adequately visualize. We are told that the damage, which includes almost the entire destruction of the crops which would have furnished the livelihood for thousands of natives during the coming months, exceeds a hundred million dollars. It is not hard to understand what this must mean to a people who had staked their all on what the storm has swept away. The Red Cross is asking for five million dollars. But what are five million dollars when they are placed where one hundred million stood before. Porto Rico needs an appropriation from the United States to assist this stricken people to regain its economic legs. The United States has always declared itself to be kindly disposed toward Porto Rico and we believe that it will take steps to relieve the condition of its hapless ward as soon as the next Congress convenes. SAFEGUARD YOUR IDEAS days ago a New York paper gave a patent suit of a Negro inventor who pointed man because he had too rnistey and good will. The case cited Robinson of Chicago, Illinois, who Chicago Surface Lines for patent infringe SEVERAL days ago a New York paper gave a white man's version of the patent suit of a Negro inventor who died a broken and disappointed man because he had too much faith in a white man's honesty and good-will. The case cited was that of the late Elbert R. Robinson of Chicago, Illinois, whose damage suit against the Chicago Surface Lines for patent infringement has been in the American courts for more than twenty-five years. Thousands of Negroes in the middle west are familiar with the case and personally knew Mr. Robinson, to whom they gave money to assist him in prosecuting his case. It seems that since his death, in 1925, his heirs have continued to press this case, which is an outstanding example of the wells of despair into which any uninformed and misused Negro may fall. Elbert Robinson perfected a patent which was of great value to the street car company in Chicago. While the patent yet was pending he made the mistake of revealing his secret to an official of the company, with the hope of obtaining a market for his invention. This tricky company official immediately put to good use the knowledge gained by the information given by Robinson in regard to his invention. When the patent rights were acquired by Robinson he learned to his dismay that the railway company was already using his idea. He instituted suit against the company without success. And for twenty-five years to the day of his death he fought and begged for justice. This is just the story of a Negro who did not understand. Elbert Robinson lived in another day and we may well condone his error. But the Negro of today with inventive genius can hardly be forgiven if he permits himself to be tricked out of his just reward. The Negro with an inventive turn of mind can hardly be too careful with his little toy before he takes the proper steps to protect himself from theft. Even the simplest inventions often have been worth a fortune to the inventor. Negroes who have new ideas along mechanical lines can do with them what the white man does, if that Negro knows how to safeguard that idea well becomes irrevocably his property for as long as patent rights are granted. News of the type of the Robinson case can furnish a great helpful lesson to the thoughtless or too-trusting Negro who has jewels to sell, but who is not to give them away. NEGRO WORLD STAFF To the Batter of the Hero World. Miri-I am delighted to commend you on the conduct (or perhaps I should say your conduct) of the Negro World, and your devotion to the affairs of the U. N. I. A. The World seems to be recovering its former health. Your articles, were never better written and the principles of the organization better enumerated. Of course, everybody expects the front page subjects (by the Chief) to be well treated, but the intelligent look for good work throughout the journal, and, as I see it, they are not disappointed. The editorials, articles by Monsieur E. A. Haynes and articles by Madame A. Jacques Garvey are classical and full of goodness. JEAN H. OLIVIER. 60 E. 32nd St. Chicago, Ill. Sept. 16, 1928. THE VERY WORDS The following is the editorial which appeared in The Atlanta Independent on September 6 and which drew a reply from The Negro World a week later: Much Ado About Nothing The Democrats are making a mighty noise because three Negroes got together at Valdosta a few days ago and constituted themselves an Al Smith Club for President by electing one of the three chairmen, and the other two secretary and treasurer. Others importing to be present were neither present nor authorized the use of their names and didn't hesitate to repudiate the maligued trio who heard about Raskob's Democratic slush fund. The Valdosta Times, a country daily, that has been having fits because Ben Davis had to do with the distribution of Federal patronage in the state, is falling over itself promulgating to the world that the Democrats have a few Negro baby Democrats in Lowndes county. Senator Harris is running over the state denouncing the Republican Party for permitting Negroes to vote, while his party is organizing Negro Al Smith Clubs throughout the country. It has not been many moons since the editor of the Valdosta Times was denouncing the Republicans because it recognised Negroes in politics, and now he takes up a whole column on the editorial page of this paper to announce to the world that the Democrats of Georgia have an Al Smith Club of three cheap Negroes bidding for cheap notoriously. A Democratic Negro is the only Negro that wants social equality. The little Al Smith's Negro's Club at Valdosta does not rise to the dignity of a decent joke. No self-respecting Negro can be a Democrat so long as the party adheres to its policy; how hatred and political intolerance Democrat so long as Bobby G. C. Brandy and his party conduct a white primary and refuse to let any Negro vote in it? How can a self-respecting Negro vote the Democratic ticket while the Democrats in Florida and Texas go into court and sue out injunctions, enjoining and restraining all Negroes from voting in white primaries? There is no need of worrying about the Negro Democratic babies at Valdosta, they will die abnormally. Let the Atlanta Constitution and the Macon Telegraph join the chorus in spreading the good news and glad tidings that Georgia has a Nigger Smith for President Club; let the New York World herald the tidings, too. Let Senator Harris herald the message far and wide that the Democrats have opened wide their political church and are taking Negroes into full membership. Virginia Anti-Lynching Law Praised by Church Organ Virginia Anti-Lynching Law Praised by Church Organ NASHVILLE, Tenn., Sept. 21.—In a corpsecopic editor's entitled "Prevention of Lynchings," the Nashville Christian Advocate official general organ of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, highly commends the recently-enacted Virginia anti-lynching law which empowers the State to search for, arrest and punish lynchers "County officials may object to such a show of State authority," the Advocate says, "but the law is good. Something must be done in the name of the whole country when communities are found where juries refuse to convict lynchers, where grand jurors will not bring indictments, where protests through the pulpit and the press are the only deterrents, notoriously ineffective. There is no defense of lynching and no excuse for communities where are lynchers are allowed to go unguarded and are gummie from testimony and from conviction when testimony proves their guilty." The editor expresses the opinion that if all the people in a community were as much opposed to mobs as are the better class, there would be no more lynching. But so long as there are buseless men who release their fury upon a victim there must be restraint upon them fixed by the strong arm of the government."

After the Parade—What? Thousands of men and women Hurrying to and fro. Thousands of stars above them Beckoning as they go. Where, oh, where are they going. These busy human souls? What, oh, what are they seeking. How far apart the goals? Happiness, peace or trouble. Mother, husband, or friends; Is it any empty bubble There where the rainbow ends? Thousands of smiles and wrinkles, Laughter and muffled screams, Ring mid a flow of tinsels, Ring in their world of dreams. Where will they be tomorrow. After tonight's parade? Will they find joy or sorrow. Blossom, or droop or fade? How to Avert the Clash Nothing would bolster up the waning confidence of native Africans justice at this time better than the presence of Marcus Garvey. Here is something that the statesmen of France and Great Britain sider to their advantage. The teeming millions of natives are the spectant at the new philosophy of Garvey.

Here is something that the statesmen of France and Great Britain should consider to their advantage. The seeming millions of natives are thrilled and expectant at the new philosophy of Garvey. They have heard from travellers and missionaries of the great organization he founded. They have heard of the methods by which he hopes to keep Africa for the Africans. African students in Europe have relayed his weekly messages to their brethren in the hinterland in tribal languages and all Africa waits to greet the apostle of African Ledemption, of whom they have heard and read so much about. The wisest political stroke Great Britain, France, Italy, Portugal and Belgium could make at this time when their prestige hangs in the balance in Africa, is to give Mr. Garvey free access to the land of his fathers; permit him to unravel his program to the reigning chiefs and tribal leaders, and through their interpreters, convey to Africans at home the desire of Africans abroad for a pooling of our mental and physical energies for the preservation of African civilization. Statesman. Not Satan There is nothing to be feared in granting Mr. Garvey this paper, knows him as a man of peace, imbued only with the apt to Africa and the race.

There is only one living man can hold the mighty hordes of dissatisfied Africans in check, only prevent the inevitable clash between the races in Africa—the Garvey. And his place is no; in Europe, not in America, not Indies, but in Africa, where the explosion is imminent. What can the Africans at home in Garvey? How far does his influence pose a haunt? There is only one way to find out. Permit the President General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and speak freely to his followers in Africa.

This is the intelligent thing to do if race war is to be avoided in Africa. But the quickest and surest way to light the torch is to confront and treat Mr. Garvey and his organization with impunity—attacking both Africa and Africans will only serve to heighten the chaos and confusion with new reign. All Africans agree with Mr. Garvey mentally and spiritually, for reasons best known to the African mind they have given the people who would keep Africa for the white people of the world a very different impulse. The white people of the world have lost the respect and confidence of Negro people. If there's any leader with the ability to repair the disarmament that leader in Marcel Garvey; if there's any institution that can build the nation in the Universal Negro Improvement Association.

When Firestone found there was a possibility of a shortage of rubber in America and there was nowhere where America could obtain rubber other than from England, they sent their commercial investigators all over the world and they found that it was possible for rubber to be grown in Liberia. Then Hoover backed up Firestone to get the President of Liberia to give up the contract he had entered into with me so that the American No- LONDON, Sept. 20. Sir John Blisen and his colleagues of the Indian Ministry Commission will return to India on Thursday of next week to complete their inquiry into that country's thirst for further autonomy. Their arrival in India last Winter was greeted by riots which led in some places to loss of life. Since then the situation has greatly improved and the commission will repeat its visit with much brighter hopes of obtaining the co-operation of the Indiaz themselves. In February a vigorous agitation in favor of boycotting the commission was being conducted, the boycotting being popular as a political expedient in India so it is in China. The Council of State, which in India is the Senate or House of Lords, passed a resolution invoking co-operation, but the Legislative Assembly, which is the popular branch of performance, rejected it in any form. Since then the biggest agitation, has raged frequently, but it has failed to manage all Indian political opinion. an Benjamin of Cambridge not only to American men, but to take away from the Negro a concession that had been given to them and to give it to Firestone so that the natives of Kewin could be exploited for the benefit of American capital. Two years after Firestone went there he reduced the natives to virtual slavery; he got the government to use the natives to build roads to give access to his plantations; they had to work without proper provision for food and without any pay. Hoover represents in American life people like that. "Through my organization it is my duty, before God and before man, to see to it that a man like that, if possible, is not returned as President of the United States, such a great country with such a great power can do so much good or ill. That is why I am for Smith, a man who would not tolerate such a method in politics; a man who has been fair and square in all his denials as Governor of New York State. The Negroes of America can put their trust in him, and I hope he will be returned as President of the United States of America at the next election."

Among those who know the facts about Tammany today and about Gov. Smith's career and shout "Tammany" there are also two classes: the snobs and the deliberate falsifiers. The snobs are those who do not think that Gov. Smith and Mrs..Smith have the social graces which their elegant tastes call for. Much more important are the deliberate falsifiers. We mean those New York Republicans who know the facts and continue to misrepresent them. They profess to fear Tammany's control of the Federal Government. Yet they know that Tammany has not controlled the Government at Albany during Gov. Smith's four terms. The proof of this is overwhelming. Tammany has not controlled his State appointments. Tammany has had the patronage of local offices in the City of New York exactly as Sam Koenig has had the Republican Federal patronage in the City of New York. But in the State Government Tammany has not had even its proportionate share of the desirable offices. Tammany has not controlled Gov. Smith's legislative policy. The great measures of Gov. Smith's regime have been the reorganizing of the State Government along the lines laid down by Republicans like Mr. Root, Mr. Hughes, Mr. Stimson. The whole purpose of that reorganization has been to destroy invisible government. No honest student of politics can examine Gov. Smith's legislative record and fail to see that it embodies the best known principles for eliminating boss and machine rule which American experience has thus far suggested. Tammany has not controlled his administrative action. At no time in his four terms has he had a Democratic majority in both houses of the legislature. Every dollar spent has been passed upon first by Republicans. Every important appointment has been confirmed by Republicans. No appointment has ever failed of confirmation. No veto has ever been overridden. No scandal has ever been proved against his Administration. No scandals are even charged by Republicans against his Administration. That is why this newspaper, which severely criticized Alfred E. Smith in his younger days, which is wholly independent of Tammany Hall and persistently critical of the Tammany Administration in the City of New York, is prepared to say and prove that the Administration of Gov. Smith is the ablest, purest and most constructive period in the history of the Government of the State of New York. The statements made here are known to all well informed New Yorkers. They have won him tributes of admiration from Republicans and Democrats which are without parallel in our political life. Therefore, we say that when leading Republican politicians from New York sally forth crying that the election of Smith means "Tammany" they are not describing the facts they know, but are appealing to the lowest and most vulgar prejudices. "TAMMANY! TAMMANY!" (Editorial in The Negro World, Aug. 11) IT IS becoming increasingly apparent that "Tammany" will be the chief battle-cry of those who are seeking to defeat Governor Smith in the coming election. If the white galelemen of Teapot Dome, after casting about for a weak spot in the democratic nominee's armor, and finding none, have the effrontery to cite Tammany's ancient sins as a reason for sweet forgetfulness of their recent own, Christian charity and tolerance will not deter them the pleasure. But what moves us to mirth is the sight of certain Negroes, as the quadruple harvest of shekels approaches, telling themselves and then telling others that the Negro's desire is sealed the moment Smith, a TAMMANYITE, enters the White House. For our part, we do not very much care what happen and Tweed did fifty years ago. Nor do the malfections of the Ohio gang give us sleepiness. Decayers in public office we have always had, and, no doubt, there always will be. When the moment comes to us is that Governor Alfred E. Smith, a man of proven honesty and ability, has the superior force of character, given this same Tammany a new rating in the Nation. We are more inclined to reflect upon the fact that Alfred E. Smith cannot be swayed by the Hammess and the Whites for their toughnesss and the Dembya, or the Blones and the Hammess. way I would probably have quiet, but I am not by nature a quiet man. (Laughter.) I have never kept anything to myself, I have talked it out; and I feel that I owe it not only to the party but I sincerely believe that I owe it to the country itself to drag this un-American propaganda out into the open, because this country, to my way of thinking, cannot be successful if it ever divides on sectarian lines. (Applause.) "It never can be successful if any considerable number of people are going to listen to appeals to their passions and to their prejudices, their bigotry and intolerance; and if the sister vices that go with it are to succeed it is dangerous for the future life of the Republic; and the best way to kill anything un-American is to drag it out in the open, because anything un-American cannot live in the sunlight. (Applause.) "Where does all this propaganda come from? Who is paying for its distribution? One of the women leaders of North Carolina was talking to me about two weeks ago and she said, 'Governor, I have some notion about the cost of distributing election material.' She said. The amount of it that has come into our State couldn't be printed and distributed for less than $1,000,000. Where is the money coming from?" "I think we got the answer the other day when the woman went into the National Committee in Washington and meekly walked up to the man in charge and said, 'I want some literature on Governor Smith. I want the nonpolitical kind'; and he brought her down- Mr. Castle's Denials Re Rape of Liberia Liberia's rubber plantations, far away on the tropic coast of Africa, dominated the closing days of the Williamatown Institute of Politics. Raymond Leelle Buell, research director of the Foreign Policy Association, repeated the story which he told in The Nation for May 2. Following Mr. Hoover's screams about the British rubber monopoly, he said, Harvey Firestone and his associates planned a rubber empire in the little Negro republic, and the State Department supported his dream. William R. Chelsea, Jr., Acting Secretary of State, promptly came forward with a "dominion" which abundantly sustenanced Mr. Buell's essential changes. Liberia is today an American colony. The revolution of the Government can be expanded only in accordance with a budget drawn up by a financial advisor designated by the President of the United States; the Liberian transverse cannot write a check until it has been provided by an American nation. The currency is collected by "Prior to the convention the Grand Dragon of the Realm of Arkansas, the Grand Dragon Comea, he wrote to one of the delegates from Arkansas, and in the letter he advised the delegate that he not vote for me in the National Convention, and he did it on the ground of upholding American ideals and institutions as established by our forefathers. Now, you can think of any man or group of men gathered together in what they call the Ku Klux Klan that professes to be 100 per cent Americans, and forget the great principles that Jefferson stood for, the equality of man, and forget that our forefathers in their wisdom, foreseeing probably such a sight as we look at today, that at no time was religion to be regarded as a qualification for public office. "Just think of a man breathing the spirit of hatred against millions of his fellow citizens proclaiming himself to be an American and subscribing himself to the doctrine of Jefferson, of Lincoln, of Roosevelt and of Wilson. "There is no greater modesty in this world today than the burning of the cross, the emblem of Christ, the emblem of salvation, the place upon which Christ Himself made the great sacrifice for all mankind, and at the same time breathing hatred (cries from audience), while the Christ that they preach to adore, love and venerate, during all of His lifetime on earth taught the holy sacred creed of brotherly love." Americans, at a cost of 94.3 per cent as compared with 4.5 per cent in the neighboring British colony of St. Lucie. Firestone has taken over a million acres of land—4 per cent of the entire territory of this jungle usability—for his plantations, and is responsible a labor army on terms which, when comparing favorably with those used on some other African colonies, he constitutes, as Mr. Boell says, "those slave labor." While enlightened British and French colonial administrations are seeking to build up a native sugar farm system, the United States does its influence in behalf of the numerous plantation system which ruined the Congo.

A. se propone a ejecutar sus planes El famoso leader tiene gran fé en el éxito final del programa Se acerca el tiempo cuando nos comprometamos en el esfuerzo determinado de hacer resaltar y hacer una realidad el programa de la Asociación Universal para el Mejoramiento de la Raza Negra. For espacio e más de diez años hemos estado ocupados con la tarea de la preparación y hoy estamos totalmente despiertos y vivos y seguros de la responsabilidad en el ejecución de las cosas que hemos decididos hacer como el objeto de nuestro deseo. Se necesitan fuertes mentes y grandes sorazones Mi turné europea está al terminarse, y regreso hacia vosotros, a ustros cuarteles generales, para ejecutar los planes que deben seguir a nuestros actividades preparatorias. Nosotros necesitamos hombres y majeres para que lleven a cabo todos los planes que tenemos delante de si. Este el tiempo cuando necesitamos el enlistamiento de hombres y mujeres efectivos baio el bendener de la U. N. L. A. Yo me uno en oración con L. hombres traicioneros, hombres deshonestos; hombres de peques corazones. No necesitamos de ellos en la hora presente ni en el futuro. Necesitamos solamente aquellos en quiens podamos depender, quellos que serán nuestros pilotos en la tormenta de la vida; hombres que no flaqueen; hombros que no teman morir. La causa del Africainiebera llevarse a las cuatro esquinas del globo. Todo puede llevarse a cabo a esperanza grande de ver casi todas un tiempo razonable si todos trabajan de Africa, las Indias Occidentales, Si s juntos en este programa de nosotros damos presentar al mundo, no sola se respete a simismo, una raza capa quir esto.

Si los hombres negros de Africa, las Indias Occidentales, Sur y Centro America trabajesemos juntos en este programa de nosotros, no veo la razon el porque no podamos presentarles al mundo, no solamente una Nación sino una raza que se respete a simismo, una raza capaz. Vamos a trabajar por conseguir esto. Hemos puestos los cimientos para diez años de edificación, y seguramente vamos a eregir una estructura que sea duradera. Seria un placer para cada uno de nosotros cumplir con nuestro deber con esta causa. Ha sido el places de otros hombres y mujeres el hacer grandes cosas para ayudar en la edificación de grandes naciones suyas. Permitidme que los inste a que os dediqueis a servir sin egoismo, que ese servicio al fin y a la postre redunde en beneficio y añada lustre, no solamente a vuestro nombre sino también al nombre de la raza, servicio que jamás morirá, perc vivirá eternamente en el marmol y en al bronce. Gran monumento a los ilustres muertes A medida que pasaamios por toda la Europa, vimos los monmentos por toda la Europa, vimos los monumentos de marmol y bronce erregidos a los grandes hombres y mujeres' que han servido y caido en la poderosa cruzada de hacer nacones. Podemos duplicar estos monmentos con los servicios que hegamos a nuestro pais y a nuestra raza. El negro no tiene Panteon donde el puede nostrar el astranjero y al visitante los restos de sus muertos consagrados. Lo italianos, los alemanes y los franceses pueden hacerlo. Con nuevo valor y determinacion nosotros podemos hacer lo propio en el futuro. Ello queda en ustedes el hacerlo. En cualquier parte del mundo donde es encontrte podeis prestar vuestro servicio. No hay nada que haya hecho el otro hombre, puede podrais no hacer. Que las vidas de los otros hombres os recuerde que podeis hacer vuestras vidar sublime, de manera que vosotros alnorir podais dejar huellas en las arenas del tiempo. De la misma manera Napoleon ha dejado sus huellas para los franceses; Bismarck, para los alemanes; Gladstone, para los ingleses; y Lincoln, y Washington para las americanos; por consiguiente vosotros podeis dejar vuestras huellas para los africanos. Hombres negros, vosotros debeis levantaros a la altura de la ocasion Dios es ha dado al mundo para algo, no solamente para ser cortadores de árboles y cargarlos de agua; no solo para ser síervos y esclavos, sino como hombres y no como hombres comunes. Algunos de los hombres que se han levantado en las épocas pasodas han sido hombres que han comen durante el ditimotramo de la caesara; hombres que viven en hombres humildes, pero hombres cuyas ambiciones fueron muy grandes que contribuyen el valor para seguir adelante y conquistar. Si sus hombres han sido grandes cosen por su rama y sus pañales, permitid me puns que ocurre en dirección. Yo tengo la seguridad y la esperanza que vosotros han tener lo mismo que han hecho los otros hombres. Os comino dicho desde adelante en el nombre de la U. N. I. A. y conquistar. Soy racista y no lo migo, al a esta tímulo se, le da su verdadera aceptación y no la que, por error 6 meidad, lo can. Mi racismo tiene la magestad de las cosas grandes y bellas y la santidad de lo noble sentido por el humano y practicado con gentileza. Los negros debemos sentir orgullo de nuestro color; debemos sentir orgullo y amor por nuestra raza y, todo lo grande, todo lo noble, ha de ser nuestra inspiración, para honrarla y acrecentar su valor. La creación de un estado negro independiente y ponderoso, debe ser la aspiración de todo hombre negro que, con juicio sereno, sin puerrier temores e inspirado en altos ideales, se estime como tal y sepa aquilatar lo que ello, para nosotros representa. Pero, seria conveniente aclarar, que, si su aspiración gira alrededor de posibles represalias o de pesimismos indociles, no valdria la pena algun esfuerzo, por cuanto que, para perpetuar la injusticia del humano contra el humano, para no aportar una esperanza de tregua en la implacable lucha de la doliente humanidad, nada debe intentarse, nada debe conmovemos.

G. Froctor Cooper, field assistant in tropical forestry at Yale, has left New Haven for Liberia to handle part of the work there. Present plans call for an investigation to cover a period of several months or a year. The work is to be done under the supervision and direction of Professor James W. Eiberd, head of tropics for the Woods at Fahn, but his water the whole field暮暮. room for rubber mats will be easy to store, being made of the woods, together with specimens of leaves, flowers and fruits that will be necessary for the identification of the trees. It is planned to place this botanical material in special presses and to dry it over portable stoves so that it can be shipped to this country without being destroyed by the mold and decay of the moist tropics. Since there is no one in America who is familiar enough with African plants, Professor Record, who recently returned from England, made arrangements with the Royal Botanical Gardens at Kew to have the specimens identified by experts. WASHINGTON, Sept. 19.—The Radio Corporation of America received short wave band privileges to open communication with Liberia following a hearing today before the Federal Radio Commission, at which it was stated that President King, of Liberia, had asked the State Department for improved radio facilities between the two countries. Colonel Manton Davia, appearing for the Radio Corporation, pointed out that Liberia was seeking a clearing house for its international message traffic and that unless the United States acted to offer this service a European agency would be asked to set it up. Such a plan, the commission was told, would deprive this country of communication with Liberia. Plans for building the needed facilities will be started at once where they were left off last July when the commission indicated its disposition to disapprove the award of the short wave band for the Liberian channel.

Attend to Porto Mineiro Reserves Professor Hinggings WASHINGTON, MARYLN. - Herbert Heaver's attitude toward Porto Mineiro affair is tended toward in a letter addressed to the Secretary of the National Committee by Chairman Thomas E. Benner, of the University of Porto Rise, who suggested that he would like to know how the government would deal with the Porto Mineiro before he feels free to complain about it in the present Postal Commission. "I am a member of the Confederation and have always been a member of the Association, a Representative of the People, and a Member of the People." Chancellor of this institution, I have been forced to observe that the Republican Administration in Washington, as regards this island where citizens are citizens of the United States, does not regard these citizens as 'American interests,' but does speak frequently of 'American interests in Porto Rico,' with reference to the sugar and tobacco corporations. "To witness the injustices which have grown out of that myriad is to force one to ask one's self whether the same thing may not be true of the policy of the Republican Administration regarding public affairs in the continental United States." Australian Women SYDNEY, N. E. W., Sept. 12.—Both New South Wales and the Federal territory of Canberra declared overwhelmingly against prohibition in the referendum taken yesterday. In New South Wales State 818.812 votes were cast against prohibition and 229.941 for it. In not a single electoral district were a dry majority. An unknown quantity had been the women's vote in the industrial areas, but this must have been cast solidly against prohibition, which gained its highest vote in fact in some of the best residential suburbs. Canberra decided on a licensing system for controlling liquor sales, only 193 votes having been cast for prohibition.

GENEVA, Sept. 29.—A fantastic Arabian Nights tale of poisoning and oppression at the Court of Ras Taffari, regent of Abbasinia, was laid before Major Johnson, one of the British officials of the International Labor Bureau, today. The complainant was Dr. Alexander Garabedian, an Armenian, now without a country but holding a so-called League of Nations identity card. Dr. Garabedian's charge, in brief, is that he was asked by Ras Taffari to conceive at the poisoning first of Ras Taffari's mother-in-law, then on the Empress, a daughter of former Emperor Menelik. When he refused, he may, he was persecuted, exiled, imprisoned, broken in health and materially ruined, for all of which he claims damage of $120,000. Dr. Garabedian cities as witnesses the staff of the American Mission Hospital at Addis Abeda, and especially the English lawyer, T. R. S. Praser, said to be a member of the American Association of International Law, who recently visited Abyssinia. Armenian's Story Dr. Gerabedian, after escaping from Abyssinia, arrived in Geneva eighteen days ago. His story, which the correspondent has seen in writing and heard verbally, may be summarized as follows: His family was massacred by the Turks. He came to Europe, was graduated in medicine at Lausanne, served in the Lausanne Hospital, then in the French Hospital at Heraclea, Artz Minor, and then in 1922 went to Addis Abeba to establish a practice among the large Greek and Armenian population there. Immediately he fell afoul of a rival Greek doctor, against whom he makes serious charges, but he persisted, was successful, and was treated politely by Ras Taffard, eventually being named chief surgeon of the Moneik Hospital. But Ras Tafari, who on the death of Emperor Mendik in 1916 forbly occupied the throne from his court, Prince Yasson, the emperor's grandson and rightful heir, desired, it is said, to become emperor, but has two powerful opponents, both women. They app his mother-in-law, who also becomes editor, and the emperor Mendik himself.

He nationalistically and expatriated himself in England, returning to private practice. The rival Greek doctor then was called in and the royal mother-in-law soon died. Bee Tuller, according to the story, now feared Dr. Garabedian. He continued to datter the physician and in due time prepared that he should treat finally another percentage of the royal household, this time the captive herself, holding out promises of favor and riches if he accepted. Dr. Garabedian's refusal led, he asserts, to a police plot engineered by the rival Greek doctor, Dr. Garabedian hyl ill with pleurisy. The rival doctor forced his way into the house with a rabble of police, but without a warrant, and charged Dr. Garabedian with selling cocaine to a native boy. A servant was dragged off to jail and an effort made to force him to testify against his master. Dr. Garabedian brought suit against the Greek doctor, employing an English lawyer, but before trial of the case Garabedian was ordered expelled from the country. The public took siding. Ras Taffari commuted the order to six months of exile in a desert town, where Dr. Garabedian's health rapidly failed and he contracted tuberculosis. He was allowed to return to Addis Abeba and closely interned in a hospital, from which he was rescued by the English lawyer, Fraser. Now began, according to the story, a series of persecutions by the police and mobs. The doctor's house was surrounded, friends were forbidden to enter and he was forbidden to go out. He was left alone, helpless, in bed, without servants or food or medical care.
