The Negro World

The Indispensable Weekly The Voice of the Awakened Negro THE Aegro World A Newspaper Devoted Solely to the Interests of the Negro Race MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY VOL. XXI. No. 21 NEW YORK, SATURDAY, JANUARY 1, 1927 PRICE: FIVE CENTS IN GREATER NEW YORK TEN CENTS ELSEWHERE IN THE U. S. TEN CENTS IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES The New Year Must See The Utter Rout Of The Old, Selfish Leadership, If The Negro Race Is To Come Into Its Own Fellowmen of the Negro Race, Greeting: As we enter upon the activities of the year 1927, we should be mindful of the many embarrassments, handicaps and pitfalls that we encountered during the past. With a knowledge of these before us we should be better able to pilot ourselves successfully through the storms and dark clouds of the present year. If I were to advise what action we should take as a people during the current year to insure our success and higher development, I would emphatically say, "Get rid of as many of our old leaders as possible and develop in their places leaders from the youth of the race who have thoroughly learned their lessons of race handicap and oppression through the hard school of experience." Our old leaders are steeped in hypocrisy, fraud, deception and selfishness. In their outlook they represent nothing but themselves. They oppose men and measures, not because they believe it to be right, but because it seeks to protect them and their interests against whatsoever good such men and measures would advocate for the benefit of the masses. The unfortunate thing about Negro leadership is that it is self-appointed, and our people have not yet risen to the point where they can discriminate between appointed leadership and elected leadership. It is natural that the man who is selfish will appoint himself to the best position, when the best position should only be filled from among the people by the ablest man in their choices. We should, therefore, learn to so discriminate as to let self-appointed leaders realize that their reign is at an end. If we stop for a minute to study the leadership of the race, we will find that any Ne ro who writes a letter to a newspaper or makes a statement that is published in some white journal, or who happens to be given some position by the white race, heralds himself as a leader and is generally accepted as such without question. It is that kind of leadership that has destroyed the race. If it continues, there will be a further infliction upon us of racial stagnation from which it will be hard for us to rise. It was this class of leaders in the community that opposed Jesus, the Christ, in His religion. The so-called doctors or learned men rejected the philosophy of Christ when He endeavored to teach it to the community. They dubbed Him as an impoctor, an idiot and an impossible person. They could see in Him no good and in the doctrine He preached; they saw no promise, yet after nearly two thousand years. we find that this very class has become the leaders and teachers of Christianity. Our universities, seminaries, dioceses and churches are filled with our doctors of divinity, our doctors of law, our doctors of theology, who essay to lead in the teachings of the doctrine of Christ. Yet this same class declared Jesus to be a fraud and a fool in the days when He taught the great masses the way to salvation. The above conceited class referred to, not only condemned Christ, but they said that His plea was to the ignorant people and that it was the illiterate rabble that applauded and followed Him. It is this selfishness that may wreck the Negro race and that is why we call upon each and every Negro to take the reins into his own hands and see to it that our leaders are no longer appointed, but that they be elected by the popular voice. If the race is to advance toward the achievement of higher things, we will have to replace the old leadership with the new. ENCOURAGING THE YOUTH The Universal Negro Improvement Association encourages the youth of the race everywhere to rise to a sense of their responsibility. We can no longer risk our existence or our future to the tender mercies of the selfish crowd. They sell out too often; they recapitulate too often. They are spineless, characterless and helpless. Let us in this new year realize the truth of our position and readjust ourselves to meet the emergency. Founder and President-General Universal Negro Improvement Association P.S.-Let me emphasize that it is now compulsory for each and every member to pay the annual organization tax which became due on the first of January. This tax must be paid to the secretaries of the local divisions immediately and they in turn must forward same to the Parent Body on their regular reports. The members should see to the carrying out of this constitutional obligation; and each division should call upon its secretary to produce a report of remittance to the Parent Body to cover the return of this annual tax. M. G. When Marcus Garvey's Colonization Scheme Was Throttled by Liberia's Shortsighted Rulers, the Negro Press Either Scoffed or Kept Holy Silence—Now, the White Aggressor Is Entrenched in the Black "Republic". LIBERIA'S CALL TO COLORED AMERICANS (From the Detroit Independently) The Republic of Liberia on the West Coast of Africa offers the same opportunity to the progressive colored people of the United States and other countries that Palestine offers the Jews. It is an illegal land in which to build up a strong and prosperous Negro government, in which to develop great racial individuality and genius and establish independent fortunes. SPAIN STILL HODES TO ORTAIN TANGIER Honor tells French interviewer It is to France's interest to Acquiesse PARIS, Dec. 26. Spain still hopes to get Tangier. In an interview given to Clara Candiant, special correspondent of the Figaro, King Alfonso said Liberia, although at present the superficially developed, is one of the richest spots in Africa, with many hundreds of miles of ocean frontage and almost limitless mineral and material resources. All that is needed is the technical training, and or, an agreed supply of native labor to buildand, and under progress, a economic leadership and technologic supervision is capable of transforming Liberia into one of the garden spots of the world. The Firestone Rubber interests of America, according to late dispatches, has just succeeded in securing a 99-year lease-on more than a million acres of richer rubber plantation in Liberia. It is also reported that the Firestone have made a five million dollar loan to the Liberian Government, and that officials in the country officialy that the Firestone interests are planning to invest about $100,000,000 in the development of their rubber concessions in Liberia. It is affirmed by reliable sources that every ship that anchors at Monroe carries large numbers of colored citizens from the U. S. and the West Indies, also many whites, who are flocking to Liberia to participate in the work of developing the rubber plantations, and to otherwise share in the prosperity and opportunities which Liberia offers men of vision. In a recent interview in the Independent Office, hold with Rev. Dr. H. R. Jones, a medical missionary, who has spent many years in the Dark Continent, the writer was informed that in many parts of Liberia and other African states, there are large numbers of enterprising colored men from various countries who are quietly and rapidly acquiring prestige and wealth through their industrial activities. Among this number is J. R. Hunter, of Monrovia, who has in operation a big factory in that city and is also conducting other successful business concerns. Dr. Jones further mentioned two. West Indians who have built and are operating several large boats for carrying passengers and freight on certain rivers in Africa. Although not himself a member or representative of the U. N. I. A. Dr. Jones states that the Garvey idea is doing more to awaken race consciousness and unity of action among the African natives than any other single influence in that continent, as Garveyism has brought to Africa many progressive Negroes who are working ceaselessly for the uplift of their people and for Compassion and are inspiring them with the amulet of higher achievement. Dr. Jones informs us that he has frequently met natives 300 miles from the coast who had never heard of Christ, but had heard of Garvey. $^2$ The freedom we find in the United States is great, according to Dr. Jones, who is himself a positive of this country, but in his opinion Liberia and Africa offer to progressive Negroes a still larger liberty. BALZIMORE, Dec. 25—In the first international 'Intercultural debate' ever held in this country, a team from Lincoln University, Pennsylvanian's famous colored institution, won the decision over three plied debaters from Oxford, England's oldest university. By a vote of 803 to 376, a mixed audience decided that the Oxford men had failed to establish the negative of the House Opposites Any Change in the Eighth Amendment." The debate was held in Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church. Debating for Oxford, writer: Gyles Isham, former editor of *Ials*, an Oxford publisher and former president of the Oxford Dymondhill Society; Natrik Morkhouse, former editor of Oxford Poetry and Oxford Outlook, and Michael A. E. Franklin, winner of the British Empire Shikshapuran Association Prize for 1925. Lincoln was represented by Ribhard Hurst Hill, Mark Gibson of Oklahoma and Edras Turner, of Arkansas.—C. P. B. Race Prejudice Bars Juror NEW-YORK, Dec. 25. - Appearing in hearth as a prospective juror, in the trial of a Negro, before a Jewish judge and an Irish-Catholic attorney, and having a national reputation as a bitter antagonist of Jews and Catholics, was more than the court could countenance, when Franklin Ford, a radio announcer, admitted is prejuice in open court. Declaring that such antipathies were foreign to the form of government of this country, Judge Rogers promptly excused Mr. Ford from jury service and suggested that his name be permanently striken from the jury lists of New York County. C. P. B. *French Talk* French Interviewer It is to France's interest PARIS, Dec. 26. Spain still-hopes to get Tangier. In an interview given to Clara Cundiani, special correspondent of the Figaro, King Alfonso said he could not understand why there should be resentment in France of Spain's demands for Tangier. "It is to the interest of France that Tangier should be Spanish," said the King. "France knows well that all aggressive-native movements originate in Tangier; that this peculiar port is the rallying point for all those who scheme for trouble in Morocco. Abdel-Krim is a case in point, for from Tangier he received all his war-making, materials, permitting him to put up such prolonged resistance. "If Tangier is left outside the Spanish protectorate it will continue to be the point of departure for rebellious movements against both my country and France." Alfonso took pains to explain his "good faith" toward France in connection with Tangier and all other questions in which France is involved. "The great number of square kilometers of territory I have given Tangier to other adventurers is proof of my friendly, abiding faith in France," he said. "Our interests are the same in Morocco. We must pacify the entire zone as soon as possible, and to this end I hope we may reach an accord with France as soon as possible." Once again the Spanish ruler expressed approval of the Spanish Dictator, General Primo de Riva. When reminded by his Interviever that some criticism has been heard in France of Primo de Riva because of the Dictator's "aggressiveness and marked insults" (Agq) applied that these qualities were necessary to any one in the General's position. Industrial Peace Prevails in the Union, Speakers Report Industrial peace prevails in the Union of South Africa, and continued prosperity seems assured, judging from reports of recent conventions of business organizations or that end of the "Dark, Continent." Addressing the convention of the South African Federated Chamber of Industries in Port Elizabeth, T. Boydell, Minister, pointed out that new factories were springing up in all parts, and other countries were sending in money and trained men for the purpose of opening up new undertakings. Old factories were being remodeled, and in many cases had actually doubled their capacity to meet the increasing demand for their products. A contributing factor to this happy condition was the decline in the number of trade-disputes. During the 1918-1923 period there were 175 strikes in South Africa involving 180,000 men and causing a loss of 2,000,000 work days and 2,251,000 in wages alone. During the giant two-year there was not a single strike. Minister Boydell said that this was largely due to the industrial. Conciliation act, under which eleven agreements in eleven cities were functioning satisfactorily, was more common than priests. He remarked that the Government's industrial policy was based on a determination to make every effort to create a sound and healthy economic life in South Africa. At the annual general meeting of the Transavial Chamber of Industries in Johannesburg, W. Soals-Wood, the sitting President, expressed gratification at the healthy state of trade and industry in the Union, and noted that in 1824, the latest year for which exact data were available, 183.877 persons, the most on record, had been employed in industry, and that the volume of production had been the highest recorded. The total of salaries and wages paid in the Transavial that year was £142.800 and the tip value of the gross output was £27.300.000. Due morely to the development of the mining industry, but also to rapid growth in engineering work, Mr. Soals-Wood said the production of South African pig iron would speed up this development, and he referred to the recent establishment of a bolt and nut factory, with a modern and highly efficient plant. The Chamber of Industries now comprises 276 members in addition to associations representing engineers and foundry men, manufacturers of sweets, millers, tanners, bakers, clothing manufacturers, etc. One English Firm Kills 60,000,000 Rats A London firm of vampire destroyers last year killed 60,000,000 rats in London, Liverpool, Southampton, Glasco and other ports, an increase of 20,000,000 compared with a normal pre-war year. MUST STAND FIRM LIKE SOLID ROCK IN YEAR 1927 The Old Year Provided The Acid Test—Membership Has Come Safely Through Fire—Press On With Greater Vigor in 1927 Written for The Negro World By S. A. HAYNES The year 1927 is here. Will the membership of the Universal Negro Improvement Association take advantage of its possibilities? The experiences of 1926, attained at a colossal sacrifice, should increase our vigilance and guide us to more precious triumphs. Emerson said: "Life is a succession, of lessons which must be lived to be understood." We who embrace the ideal of nudityhood for Negroes can ennounce the truth of Emerson's philosophy. Which has pursued such lessons as we had last year when we enlisted for service to race and country under the magic spell of Garveyism? Which of us bargained for the sacrifices, the heartaches and treachery which haunted us at every turn? Some of us, having lived our lessons in nation building, now understand. Others, less ambitious, less determined, still wonder why such lessons are necessary. The past year wab of real service to us. The entire membership was put to the acid test. The strong, the true, the die-hards are with us yet—they have lived their lessons, and, having lived, understand the essentials of such a program as the Universal Negro Improvement. Association sponsors our face emancipation. It is to this valiant army that we look in the new year for new laurels, through loyalty and service. It is well that the past year brought us such experiences to test the sincerity of the membership. Such a time and to come. It always does where the struggle or forbids and independence wars warm. The mists have cleared away. Carvaytsm becomes stronger in 1927 because its leaders and adherents have risen triumphantly from the valley of tears and the cauldron of treachery. Must Press On. The new year finds the eyes of the world upon us as never before. Our duty is clear. We must press on with greater zeal. No other year brings us so near to our objective as this. Everything points to a year of surprises in the realm of internationalism. What we will need most are locks to pilot us past the winning posts. The work is great, the future bright, but the laborers are few. The faithful must redouble their efforts. Efficiency and preparedness must be our watchwords. It is well that the membership realizes nothing lasting will be achieved except through unity of action and a keen appreciation of the goal we strive for. We must unite on our united front, 'discard non-essential opportunities and let our work blend with our ideals; if we resolve to make every division one hundred per cent loyal and efficient and let this resolution fashion our every deed—then the year is already blessed with richness for us. Let us in.this new year in the language of Marcus Aurelius Antoninus, "be like the promontory against which the waves continually break, but it" stands firm and tames the fury of the waters around it." WASHINGTON, Dec. 31 (UP)—The total value of fifty-five principal crops this year was $7,801,131,000, a decrease of $1,148,000, as compared with the value in 1925, the Department of Agriculture announced today. Crop production was heavy in 1926, but prices on many farm products were lower, the department said; Cotten, corn, spring wheat, potatoes and apples showed the greatest price decline. The cotton crop is valued at $1,016,346,000, a decrease in value of $851,342,000 from 1925. The wheat crop increased to $3,672,000, although there was a decline in spring wheat of $128,390,000. All what was valued at $97,589,000. Corn was valued at $1,708,000,000, as compared with $1,366,781,000 in 1925. The potato crop was valued at $506,721,000, a decrease of $7,971,000; apples, $178,265,000, a decrease of $751,351,000, and hay $1,317,000,000, compared with $1,303,618,000 in 1926. Earth Rotation Theory Held 23 Centuries Ago Three centuries before the Christian Era, Aristarchus of Samoa, who died in 280 B. C., believed that the apparent motions of the sun, moon and stars were caused by the rotation of the earth on its axis and its revolution around the sun, but his theory met with ridicule from many of the leading astronomers and scientists of his own time and later, says the Detroit News. Among the most successful of his critics was Ptolemy, who, in the Almageat, an astronomical classic, that controlled human thought for 18 centuries, contended the earth was the centre of the universe and the capitals of the heavens did ridicule those who believed in the earth's orbital motion or axi 'rotation, reading George Ellery Hale in "Beyond the Milky Way" and p. p. to his own satisfaction that the sun, planets, and stars revolved around the earth. Nor was it until Coffrionius, who died in 185', that the theories of Ptolemy were definitely scrapped. BIG WATCH NIGHT SERVICE AT LIBERTY HALL 120-West 138th Street Conducted by REV. DR. J. G. ST.

England Perfects Closed Door Policy; Warning to Negroes As far as our memory can take us we think it was Gladstone who pointed out that the expansion and consolidation of the British Empire depended upon the "Open Door Policy." How far Gladstone intended his statement to cover it is hard to say, but we can safely add, "that the only road to international peace is through the "Open Door Policy." The development of a British Empire began with the "Open Door Policy" of England. With just as spok of land surrounded by water, Englishmen, just out of a state of barbarism and slavery, developed an empire, with miracles of contrarian forces blended into a national existence in a period of time unheard of in empire development history. If Gladstone was right, we can say now, "that the dissolution of the British Empire will begin with a "Closed Door Policy"."2 Qissatisfied foreign nationals heralded the Union Jack as an emblem of freedom-granting to each of its nationals a liberty of conscience and expression; and so England succeeded an controlling a patriotism that yielded in "blood, and kind." The soul of the British Empire responds to the fury of the Union Jack as a model of perfection and not as a national heritage. With the "Open Door Policy" England got to fight against Jews, Frenchmen against Frenchmen, Germans against Germans, Negroes against Negroes, etc., all because of a longing for liberty. Today England, is holding conferences to devise ways and means to perfect a "Closed Door Policy" in British Empire trade; and yet Canada and Australia have instituted racial barriers. The whole world is in a state of unrest—the "Closed Door Policy" has caught the goat of every national. The "Open Door Policy" of the British Empire was once the hope of Negroes, but since England has also intimated joining in the "Closed Door Policy", even in politics, Negroes are in the wave that may close them to death. Negroes of the world: awake! Africa is calling! Unite your efforts and concentrate your intentions to open the doors of Africa that she may stretch forth hands to succer the four hundred million Negroes of the world. Unskilled Chinese Laborers Wages of unskilled laborers in Pekin are now so low that most of the men can not marry, according to investigation of Sidney D. Gamble, social worker and writer there. Many of the workers averake only 20 cents United States currency a day. Gamble found the men usually more desirous of decreasing their hours of work than of raising their standards of living. Admiral Latimer Sends Sailors Ashore "To Protect Americans and Foreigners" in Fight Between Diaz and Liberals Under Dr. Sacasa WASHINGTON, Dec. 23—American bluefists have been landed by Reary Admiral Julian L. Latimer at Rio Grand Bar, Nicaragua, on the Mosquite Coast, sixty miles above Bluefields, to protect American and foreign lives and property in the hostilities between the forces of President Diaz and Dr. Sacasa—Liberal contender for the presidency. The Diaz-Government has been recognized by the United States, while Dr. Sacasa is said by Admiral Latimer, who commands the United States Special Service Squadron in Central American waters and other persons to have received arms and equipment from Mexico. "A dispatch has been received through the Navy Department from Admiral Latimer on the Rochester," the State Department announced today, "to the effect that he has landed a force of blue jackets at Rio Grande Bar for the protection of American and foreign lives and property. The admiral is proceeding thence to Puerto Cazas." Step Taken as Presidentialary The landing of American forces at Rio Grande is the second made on the East Coast since the present revolutionary trouble developed. A detachment of marines was recently landed at Bluefields. That section of the coast has been strongly penetrated by the Liberal forces. On the West Coast the situation is quieter, so far as official dispatches reveal, although the cruiser Galveston has been active on an unexplained mission from Corfito to Amanala. In the absence of further advice it was assumed, here that the step of Admiral Lattimer was piscautonary. He left the Canal Zone hurriedly this week of the Rochester for the east coast of Nicaragua upon being advised that hostilities might soon develop between the opposing Nicaragua forces. His message stated that he intended to carry out an easy step for the collection of Americans if the danger zone. Extensive American timber properties are located around the Rio Grande and many Americans live in that section. Kellogg Replies to Mosaic The United States does not interfere in the internal affairs of other governments, the State Department asserted today in reply to the statement of Senator Moses that, according to reports, General Elliano Chamoro and surrendered command of the Nicaraguan army and -left his country at the suggestion of the department. Senator Moses made his assertion in a resolution offered in the Senate yesterday asking information from the State Department on its course in the Nicaraguan situation. Whether all the correspondence bearing upon that situation was received by the State was to be determined by Secretary Kellogg after the Senate acts upon the resolution, which was referred to the Foreign Relations Committee. Sale of Explosives Forbidden in Java BATAVIA, Java, Dec. 21.—Total prohibition of the sale and use of fireworks is one of the measures taken to counteract radical activities in consequence of the recent outbreak in the Dutch East Indies. This means the stoppage of a very important industry, which is chiefly in Chinese hands and involves several millions of dollars a year. Natives let off, fireworks on every conceivable occasion to scare evil spirits, and the prohibition measure is designed to prevent them from handling explosives of any kind. MIGHTY NEGRO CHURCHES SHOUTING WITH NOT A THOUGHT FOR AFRICA NEGROFS BENEFIT BY FUND FROM NEGRO'S LEGACY FAYETTEVILLE, S. C.-Forty ante-bottom Negroes, all that are left here, were the first participants in the annual distribution of the James McAllister Christmas Fund, established last May by Williamson W. Fuller, of Brilacrell, Y. N., former counsel of the American Tobacco Company. Mr. Fuller established the fund. in memory of Jim McAllister, a house servant in the Fuller home before the Civil War, with the proceeds of property willed to him by the Negro. "When I have been in trouble or needed help or advice," said Jim in the will which wears signed with his mark. "I know...where to turn and Mr. Willie never failed me. He may not need my little home. I pray not, but he will know better what to do with it than I; and in this I want to show my appreciation of what he has done for me." "Mr. Willie," who has a house and a farm at Braleyle, didn't need it, and he had an idea regarding what to do with it. He bought $8,000, bought Baltham Shepherd Ltd and created a trust fund to be administered by three Fayetteville business men every Christmas for the Negroes of the city. The trustees chose antebellum Negroes to receive the first gifts. Thomas Staples Fuller, son of Mr. Euler and his successor as counsel of the American Tobacco Company; Mr. Fuller's grandson, W. W. 26, and his granddaughter, Margaret, were here and saw the old Negrogs gather in the director's room of a local bank and smile their thanks as each received his "Christmas gift." $2,000,000 Sought To Spread Blacklist Of Liberal Speakers A black to be spread throughout the country to bar liberal, radical, and labor speakers from churches, forums, women's clubs, and lecture courses is being compiled by the American Citizenship Foundation. The foundation has been formed by a fusion of two patriotic societies, the American Sentinels and the United Americans. It is now seating $2,000,000 for its program, which includes, besides the blacklist, the issuing of literature, a monthly called the American Citizen, posters, and a textbook on "citizenship training." The Citizenship Foundation also plans to keep close tab on such persons as Jano Addams, Roger Baldwin, Morris Hillquill, Elizabeth Gurley Flynn, Sherwood Eddy, William Z. Foster, Norman Happgood, Oswald Garrison Villard, Scott Nearing, Robert Minor, H. L. Moncken, Madeleine Doty, Mrs. Robert Morse Lovett, Kirby Page, Mary McDowell, Victor L. Berger, and Mrs. Mela Berger. Among the organizations on the blacklist are the League of Women Voters, the League for Industrial Democracy, the Socialist, Farm-Labor, and Workers' parties, the American Civil Liberties Union, the Yunguard Press, the Federated Press, the National Women's Service, the Fellowship for Reconciliation, the American Association of University Women, the International Student Forum, and the Women's International League for Re-ace and Freedom. Jane Addams was recently barred from speaking at a woman's club near Chicago on the ground that she was listed on the foundation's blacklist as "the third most dangerous person in America." Persecution of Mr. Francis Of the Virgin Isles That a man of such mediocre abilities and temperamental unfitness, for the bench as George Washington Williams should occupy the highest judicial post in the Virgin Islands is due to their remoteness from our continental press and a lack of local democratic control. That Judge Williams should be able to vent his spleen upon so devoted and unselfish a popular leader as Mr. Francis—who had incurred judicial displeasure by opposing the reappointment of Judge-Williams—should be an argument in Congress: for ending the anomalous and autocratic "temporary government"; by naval officers that has spilled political dissatisfaction and economic disaster for the islands since we acquired them almost ten years ago. Incidentally the sentence of Mr. Francis calls attention to the unfairness of compelling a man to work out a fine at the rate of $1 a day. The extreme penalty for contempt of court in the Virgin Islands is thirty days in jail, but to this may be added a fine of $200, which if not paid means-200 days additional imprisonment. The era is far in the background when even the humbleest worker's time could be rated at $1 a day. Prisoners ought to demand a more adequate rate. If necessary to obtain it, they would be justified in walking out. The following is an excerpt from a report of the semi-annual meeting of the Foreign Mission Board of the National Baptist Convention held in Chicago ill., December 2-3: Dr. J. E. East, Secretary, spoke on the subject, "Knowing and Going." He spoke of God's plan to have the black man save the black man in Africa. In discussing the physiography of Africa, he showed that, God had placed many natural barriers to keep the white man out of Africa and save it until He could train a great army of black people, who might be missionaries and carry the gospel-back to them. While saying this, he pointed out on the map the great, impassable Sahara Desert, across the north of Africa, blocking the trek of the European white-man south by land. Then he pointed out the different rivers, on all of which nature had put great cataracts like the Nigraa, on which the boats could not sail into the heart of Africa, as they did up the Mississippi, the Hudson and other rivers into the heart of America. He also pointed out the regular coast line of Africa, which admitted of natural harbors like Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, Newport News, Norfolk, Saskatchewan and other great seaports of America. Thus the white man was prevented from landing there for hundreds of years. All this blocked the great hortes of Europe from entering Africa for centuries, until a large number of black people could be brought to this country and put through the great institution of slavery and taught the principal industries, especially that of agriculture, and then given proper training through the hands of kind missionaries, who came down from the north that they might be thoroughly prepared to carry the gospel of love and industry back to the land of their fathers. The Secretary then told in touching words how the black man had disappointed God and failed to carry out His great purpose in bringing him to this country, and how in very recent years the gates had been thrown open and the bars let down; how the white man had crowded in and talon Africa, subjugating practically every tribe, and that might, vast continent had been parcelled out to six European nations, only little Liberia, with an area equal to Ohio, and Abyssinia, an inland country, being left. While all of this was going on, supposed mighty Negro churches in this country were shouting and rejoicing in the God of their salvation, taking a cold attitude toward missions, and the saying, "I have lost nothing, in Africa—there are heathens enough at home, was practically on the lips of everybody, I figure, to give the attitude of our group toward Africa. The Secretary named a state where there were thirteen hundred churches, and only forty-three gave anything for foreign missions. In another state there were eleven hundred churches, with only fifty-one giving anything for the redemption of Africa. Out of twenty-four thousand Negro Baptist churches in America, less than two thousand gave anything for Africa under any Board. The Secretary told them of the white people having 9,940 missionaries in Africa, while there were not 50 American born Negro missionaries throughout the whole dark continent. How said that comparison. He then told of 135 white medical missionaries in that dark continent, and said easily that he knew of not one American born Negro medical missionary under any board laboring there. It was pointed out here that very few of our churches were giving to missions, not because the bulk of the people did not have religion, but because they did not have information. The great thing is the awakening of a missionary consciousness through the spread of information by the printed page, as well as by living agents. This address was followed by a most enthusiastic address delivered by Dr. McNeal from the subject: "Individual Responsibility for Africa's Redemption." Dr. McNeal spoke with fervor as he told of his own church; how every organization, including the B. Y. P. U., Sunday school, missionary circle and church had to give something monthly for Africa's redemption. He said that every individual was responsible for giving the gospel to that dark land. After his address the meeting closed with prayer. Hindu Philosopher Joins Absent Minded League VIENNA. — Babindranath Tagore, Hindu philosopher-poet. k- is joined the league of the absent minded. While lecturing in Vienna he sat for a sculptor. He appeared only once at the studio, and continued his lecture tour to Budapest. The Viennese sculptor naturally thought Tagore did not care to sit any more for the work. But the sculptor did the Indian naked why the sculptor did the telephone for another sitting. The poet merely forgotten, having moved from the capital to the other. The sculptor was moned to Budapest to finish his birth of Tagore.

There is another scare in New York City—a scare for the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. The powerful white dailies today carried paragraphs forecasting the sale of Liberty Hall by mortgage foreclosure. This is all to occur on Thursday, December 31, and with evident glee the announcements are made, the papers in question being confident that the sale will be effected owing to the failure of the membership to furnish $12,000 in cash by that date. And so tonight there was an exceptional turn-out of the faithfull, come to hear what it is all about and to give their dollars that the cradle of Negro liberty may remain inviolate and white prejudice have no reason to be jubilant. Three months ago; it will be remembered, while George A. Weston was cutting capers in Liberty Hall, there was need of money to ward off some real estate sharks, A Negro gentleman, Mr. Casper Holstein, "came to the rescue" and invested about $12,000. Now he is foreclosing, his attorneys turning a deaf ear to all advances for a business-like settlement. The money must be paid by Thursday. Hence glee and prophecy and threats of hard dealing. But Liberty Hall still stands, and will continue to stand, a fount of inspiration to the Negroes of the world, at least judging from the proceedings tonight. Men and women came forward and invested their savings to save the situation, and it is practically assured that in the remaining days before Thursday others will so rally with their dollars that Mr. Holstein will be satisfied. A very enthusiastic meeting was staged. Hon. Fred A. Toote occupying the chair. Ably supported by Dr. Drake, International Organizer, he made an inspiring plea to the membership to hold fast and continue to give of their best to the cause. The former led off in the appeal for the mortgage fund and was succeeded by Hon. F. Levi Lord, Chancellor, the response being very gratifying: NOTICE! THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JANUARY 1, 1927 Hon. Henrietta Vinton Davis, 4th Asst. President-General, was also-in-attendance. A feature of the meeting was addresses by two students of Liberty University, Lodge on vacation, Miss Genevieve Baker and Miss Roma. They rejoiced that it fell to their lot to be the first two students to be enrolled at the University, and thanked the founder of the movement, Hon. Marcus Garvey, for the splendid gifts he had made to the race and which had made it possible for them to be receiving a truly suitable education. The speech-making was preceded by the usual exercises by the auxiliaries and by a splendid musical program to which the Universal band and the Choir were the chief contributors. The text of the address was as follows: HON. F. A. TOOTE'S ADDRESS Hon. F. A. Toote, acting President-General, spoke as follows: "It is indeed a very great pleasure to me to extend to you the season's greetings tonight. I sincerely hope that each and every one of you has had a very merry Christmas and that you will have a prosperous New Year. I am delighted indeed to see no many of you assembled. In the cradle of Negro liberty tonight in spite of the counter attractions at this festive season of the year. My appeal to you is to takewaken for the new year, throw off any spirit of selflessness you may have and be manly and womanly and shoulder the responsibilities of the organization. I sincerely hope you will let indifference and ignorance daze out this week and in the new year put over the work of the organization." 'MISS BAKER'S WORD OF CHEER Mr. Toote then presented Miss Genevieve Baker, a student of Liberty University, who spoke as follows: "I desire to say a word in behalf of Liberty" University, where I am drinking in ideas which gladden and exhilarate. "The sound coming from door old Liberty Hall, memorable as it is, reached my ears while acquiring knowledge in Liberty University, and it seemed as if there word no rope strong enough to keep me from coming home this Christmas season and making merry with you. This is the greatest, the most sacred spot to me in the whole world. Marcus Garvey is the most wonderful, the most fearless exponent of freedom and development. He came just in time to lift my foot from the miry clay of propaganda and Negro inferiority to nationhood in Africa. Hird winds may blow, fierce storms may rage, but never shall anything frighten me from the goal." (Applause.) MISS ROMA'B SPEECH Miss Roma, also a student of Liberty University, was next introduced by Mr. Toote. She spells as follows: by Mr. Toote. She spots as follows: "When the news came to me in old Virginia that Liberty Hall was again in the possession of the tried and true followers of the Hon. Marcus Garvey my heart leaped for joy and I could not resist the feeling and desire to come home. "Through the loving kindness of my dearest mother I set my foot once more in the cradle of Liberty as in days of our hero, Marcus Garvoy, who stirred the world from this most hallowed and consecrated center. "I have come with a heart full of gladness and rejoicing that a great battle has been fought-and these malicious mischief-makers and pretenders put to flight. No more may this spot, dear to our hearts, be desecrated, "I am-happy to say that I am a student of Universal Liberty University of Claremont, Va., made possible by this progressive administration and the gleit and purpose of the Hón. Marcus Garvey. I am proud to say that Miss Baker and I were the first two students of the University to register our names on the mill book, and I trust I will be the first in everything that appertains to Garveyism." (Applause.) DR. DRAKE'S ADDRESS Dr. J. G. St. Clair Drake, international organizer, spoke as follows: "Nobody at this particular season of the year would want to disturb your minds with anything but glad tidings and joy. This is a season of the year when everybody likes to make herry and be glad, and certainly nobody desires that you should be in any other attitude or mind but that of rejoicing, but yet there are some facts in our life as a race that would tend to mar our happiness if we will seriously consider these facts. "If we represented tonight a nation, if tonight we felt ourselves free from the impediments which other races have put away from before them, if tonight we could look out upon a vast expansion of territory, whether American, or the European, continent, or Africa, and call it our own, and order the affairs of that particular continent, we should feel twice happy, yea, thrice happlier than we feel tonight. But the fact that we are only living on the bounty of another nation abridges our joy. "I tried to enjoy an unmixed Christmas. I tried to put away from my mind everything but joy, but I could not possibly enjoy a hilarious Christmas and feel that all was well. When I read the daily papers and when I read the weeklies, when I viewed the sentiment of men and women of allen races to mine, and when I viewed the sentiment of some people who are really members of my race, I was disturbed greatly and my Christmas was somewhat marred. How Joy Is. Marred. "For years I have been that way. My Christmas holiday has not carried one hundred percent of joy, because I realize that my race is being weighed in the balance. I realize that I am not and my race is not at that standing in life that would permit of one hundred percent joy and hilarity. At least one thing marred by Christmas this year and that was an article I saw in a newspaper purporting to be from the pen of a white man, but inspired, I presume, by a colored brain, and that article is trying to cajole you and me and every other member of the Negro race into the fanny that some day the stars will disappear and the sun will shine; that some day grim prejudice stalks through this great land in every form will be dismantled and will die away; trying to cajole me and you and all the members of the race that some day—and they don't state whether in the near future or the far-distant future—the Negro will cease to be as he is and will enter into full citizenship; that some day I will not be constrained to ride in Jim-crow cars in the south and that some day lynching will cease and Negroes will have their full freedom. "This is just destined, so caiole us, to give us it full dose of dope in order that we may sleep, for if we sleep there is no mental activity. When we sleep there is no mental 'labor; when we sleep there is no physical toll, and if Negroes can be caioled into the 'idea Hon. F. A. Toote, Acting President-General, Bids Membership Go Forward with Increased Determination in the New Year-Those at the Helm Will Give of Their Best; Only Hearty Co-operation Required It is a signal pleasure for me to greet you at this time and to thank you for your unswerving loyalty and steadfastness during the past year. The year 1926 is now a closed book; but we have great reason to rejoice because recorded on its pages are many grand and glorious achievements for our cause. We realize that our future progress will continue to be halted from time to time by unseen difficulties. We know that the road to success is never a straight and smooth one, which would insure regular and steady progress. The pathway to Negro nationhood is like a mountain path, rough and rugged. It is a narrow pathway with many detours and the traveler must often descend if he would continue his journey to the heights. We are calling upon each and every member to increase his or her regular contributions to the limit, so that the Parent Body may be enabled to meet unlooked for expenses which confront us from time to time, as well as the current obligations which must be met promptly by the association. After all of our efforts for the release of our great leader, the Honorable Marcus Garvey, democratic liberty-loving America—the land of Attucks, Patrick Henry, Sumner, Stowe and Lincoln—still holds him enchained. They maintain an iron grip upon his body, perhaps believing that thus they will hush for all time the cry of an oppressed race for freedom. But we reiterate, as we make our New Year's resolutions, that destroying the body of Marcus Garvey, demolishing or stealing our Liberay Halls, or suppressing The Negro World cannot destroy the ideals of nationhood planted in the hearts of Negroes by Marcus Garvey. - Retreat Is Death Africans at home and abroad have to believe that they ought to fairs.

Accept the thanks of the Exceeded by the faithful members of those who will continue to conduct the best possible manner during better expressed in our efforts to Wishing you the complimentary perous and happy new year, I am Fraternally Africans at home and abroad have caught the vision and will continue to believe that they ought to conduct their own national affairs. They can never again become discouraged because of the undemocratic conduct of the nations of the world. We can afford to be patient, for national power and self-government are not small prizes to be won in a day. We must progress, no matter how slowly, because nothing lies in retreat except perpetual economic slavery and oppression. We must carry on with zeal and confidence, feeling assured that we are bound to win if we persevere. Members who are inclined to weariness at times and, in a weak moment, feel that our calls for funds are too frequent, must remind themselves of the size of the great program which must of necessity require thousands of dollars to carry on. This fight for freedom and liberty is the biggest thing that the Negro has attempted in the history of the race. Let us put aside every doubt as we enter the new year and resolve to assist with zeal, patience and perseverance in putting over the great program. Let us work more diligently, so that we will cheer the heart of our absent leader and encourage him in the brave fight he is making. Let us respond cheerfully to the many appeals which those who are carrying on are forced to make from time to time in the interest of survival and progress. Accept the thanks of the Executive Council for the service rendered by the faithful members and for the confidence reposed in those who will continue to conduct the affairs of the association in the best possible manner during 1927. Our appreciation will be better expressed in our efforts to serve the race in the future. Wishing you the compliments of the season, and a very prosperous and happy new year, I am, that some day they will become white men it is destined to give them that dope that shall -make them remain asleep. My friends, you can believe all you want about what white and colored dopesters write in regard to Negro history and Negro life and Negro experience, you are at liberty to believe what you want, but I am judging the future by the past and by the present, and I have come to this conclusion, and I believe every other man would come to this conclusion, as well as the black sisters, that all that Negroes are going to get in America of any other part of the world you are going to earn it with your own strength of arm. "I am of the opinion, my friends, that the legislature of this great land will never be able to stop lynching. I am constrained to believe that if we remain here one million years as long as there is a white majority and white predominance in the federal government, we must exploit discrimination not to cease, but to get more segregated as the years roll by." While only one man is talking about Negroes rising into prominence and equality, the other 125,000,000 are planning and plotting to get rid of any Negro who has been awakened to self-determination. While one man may be thinking that Negroes ought to be free, the country at large, and the white world in its entirety, is determined that Negroes shall not be equal with white folks MEMBERS MUST AND PUT THE SC MUST BE REALLY In any country where they dwell alongside, with the white man In the majority. "The President's Sympathy" "Very recently the President of the United States made a splendid speech. He has altogether been silent when it comes to speaking sympathetically of the 12,000,000 Negroes that are citizens of this country. For the years he has been President he has felt it unnecessary to say anything that looked like sympathy to the Negro people of this great land, but all at once he has burst forth into flame and declared that Negroes ought to have civil rights and other rights that white people have. Woll, you can take that just as you please. I have learnt that this a democratic country and when the other man is hunting he will do anything in the world to get votes. I have also learnt that the white man different from the colored man, does not wait until the last moment to do what his proposes to do, but he starts to fortify himself early in the game. And so we find that the President of the United States has become full of sympathy for the colored people who are citizens of this republic. "I have also learnt that the South-land is in the majority when it comes to politics, and the North,' East; and West can talk all they want when it comes to discrimination in the South."

All Due to Garvoy "I am hoping that you are not stirred to the extent that you believe that all of a sudden the representatives of the Federal Government of the United States have turned toward the Negro with a heart of sympathy. I want to tell you what has really happened. Negroes in eight years have been awakened. Negroes everywhere all over the world have heard the clarion call of a distinct voice telling Negroes no matter where they live they ought to be in a position to have the say so as to how they shall be governed. For eight years Negroes all over the world have answered that clarion call and have determined that they shall not be satisfied with the crumbs that fall from must, got to the place that we can govern ourselves and determine our own destiny and be like other men in government and affairs of state. Now all of this sentiment in favor of us and against us has been developed within the last eight years on account of the success of the work of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, fostered and led by the Hon. Marcus Garvey (Applause) and whether he is the President of the United States, whether he is a Congressman, or Senator, all that he has said about the status of Negroes in the United States and in the world must be “APRONOUNCEMENT TWO YEARS LATE When Marcus Garvey’s Colonization Scheme Was + fhrottled by Liberia’s—Shortsighted Rulers,~-the Negro Press Eithér Scoffed or, Kept Holy Silence— Now, the ‘White Aggressoz, Is Entrenched in_the ~Blaek “Republic”. \ das 2 LigeRia’s.

Fred A. Toote Makes Great Appeal for Funds to Save Liberty Hall, Which Is Threatened with Mortgage Foreclosure by Casper Holstein, Who Three Months Ago Made a Brave Show of Coming to Rescue NEW YORK, Liberty Hall, Sunday Night, December 26. There is another scare in New York City—a scare for the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. The powerful white dailies today carried paragraphs forecasting the sale of Liberty Hall by mortgage foreclosure. This is all to occur on Thursday, December 31, and with evident glee the announcements are made, the papers in question being confident that the sale will be effected owing to the failure of the membership to furnish $12,000 in cash by that date. And so tonight there was an exceptional turn-out of the faithful, come to hear what it is all about and to give their dollars that the cradle of Negro liberty may remain inviolate and white prejudice have no reason to be jubilant. Three months ago; it will be remembered, while George A. Weston was cutting capers in Liberty Hall, there was need of money to ward off some real estate sharks, A Negro gentleman, Mr. Casper Holstein, "came to the rescue" and invested about $12,000. Now he is foreclosing, his attorneys turning a deaf ear to all advances for a business-like settlement. The money must be paid by Thursday. Hence glee and prophecy and threats of hard dealing. But Liberty Hall still stands, and will continue to stand, a fount of inspiration to the Negroes of the world, at least judging from the proceedings tonight. Men and women came forward and invested their savings to save the situation, and it is practically assured that in the remaining days before Thursday others will so rally with their dollars that Mr. Holstein will be satisfied. A very enthusiastic meeting was staged. Hon. Fred A. Toote occupying the chair, Ably supported by Dr. Drake, International Organizer, he made an inspiring plea to the membership to hold fast and continue to give of their best to the cause. The former led off in the appeal for the mortgage fund and was succeeded by Hon. F. Levi Lord, Chancellor, the response being very gratifying: NOTICE!

Henrietta Vinton Davis, 4th Asst. President-General, was also in attendance. A feature of the meeting was addresses by two students of Liberty University, Eight on vacation, Miss Genevieve Baker and Miss Roma. They rejoiced that it fell to their lot to be the first two students to be enrolled at the University, and thanked the founder of the movement, Hon. Marcus Garvey, for the splendid gifts he had made to the race and which had made it possible for them to be receiving a truly suitable education. The speech-making was preceded by the usual exercises by the auxiliaries and by a splendid musical program to which the Universal band and the Choir were the chief contributors. The text of the address was as follows: HON. F. A. TOOTE'S ADDRESS Hon. F. A. Toote; acting President-General, spoke as follows: "It is indeed a very great pleasure to extend to you the season" MISS ROMA'S SPEECH Miss Roma, also a student of Liberty University, was next introduced by Mr. Toote. She spoke as follows: "When the news came to me in old Virginia that Liberty Hall was again in the possession of the tried and true followers of the Hon. Marcus Garvey my heart leaped for joy and I could not resist the feeling and desire to come home. "Through the loving kindness of my dearest mother I set my foot once more in the cradle of Liberty as in days of our hero, Marcus Garvey, who stirred the world from this most hallowed and consecrated center. "I have come with a heart full of gladness and rejoicing that a great battle has been fought and these malicious mischief-makers and pretenders put to flight. No more may this spot, dear to our hearts, be desecrated, "I am happy to say that I am a student of Universal Liberty University of Claremont, Va., made possible by this progressive administration and the ghett and purpose of the Hön. Marcus Garvey. I am proud to say that Miss Baker and I were the first two students of the University to register our names on the will book, and I trust I will be the first in everything that appertains to Garveyism." (Applause.) DR. DRAKE'S ADDRESS Dr. J. G. St. Clair Drake, international organizer, spoke as follows: "Nobody at this particular season of the year would want to disturb your minds with anything but glad tidings and joy. This is a season of the year when everybody likes to make cherry and be glad, and certainly nobody desires that you should be in any other attitude of mind but that of rejoicing, but yet there are some facts in our life as a race that would tend to mar our happiness if we will seriously consider these facts. ! at Association, Inc.

But the fact that we are only living on the bounty of another nation abridges our joy. "I tried to enjoy an unmixed Christmas. I tried to put away from my mind everything but joy, but I could not possibly enjoy a hilarious Christmas and feel that all was well. When I read the daily papers and when I read the weeklies, when I viewed the sentiment of men and women of alien races to mine, and when I viewed the sentiment of some people who are really members of my race, I was disturbed greatly and my Christmas was somewhat marred. How Joy Is. Marred. "For years I have been that way. My Christmas holiday has not carried one hundred percent of joy because I realize that my race is being weighed in the balance. I realize that I am not and my race is not at that standing in life that would permit of one hundred percent joy and hilarity. At least one thing marred by Christmas this year and that was an article I saw in a newspaper purporting to be from the pen of a white man, but inspired, I presume, by a colored brain, and that article is trying to cajole you and me and every other member of the Negro race into the family that some day the stars will disappear and the sun will shine; that some day grim prejudice stalking through this great land in every form will be dismantled and will die away; trying to cajole me and you and all the members of the race that some day—and they don't state whether in the near future or the far-distant future—the Negro will cease to be as he is and will enter into full citizenship; that some day I will not be constrained to ride in Jim-crow cars in the South and that some day lynching will cease and Negroes will have their full freedom.

I am delighted indeed to see so many of you assembled in the cradle of Negro liberty tonight in spite of the counter attractions at this festive season of the year. My appeal to you is to awaken for the new year, throw off any spirit of selfishness you may have and be manly and womanly and shoulder the responsibilities of the organization. I sincerely hope you will let indifference and ignorance die out this week and in the new year put over the work of the organization." *MISS BAKER'S WORD OF CHEER* Mr. Toote then presented Miss Genevieve Baker, a student of Liberty University, who spoke as follows: "I desire to say a word in behalf of Liberty University, where I am drinking in ideas which gladden and exhilarate. "The sound coming from dear old Liberty Hall, memorable as it is, reached my ears while acquiring knowledge in Liberty University, and it seemed as if there word no rope strong enough to keep me from coming home this Christmas season and making merry with you. This is the greatest, the most sacred spot to me in the whole world. Marcus Garvey is the most wonderful, the most fearless exponent of freedom and development. He came just in time to lift my foot from the miry clay of propaganda and Negro inferiority to nationhood in Africa. Hard winds may blow, fierce storms may rage, but never shall anything frighten me from the goal." (Applause.) Doping a-Rate / . Hon. F. A. Toote, Acting President-General, Bids Membership Go Forward with Increased Determination in the New Year-Those at the Helm Will Give of Their Best; Only Hearty Co-operation Required Fellow Workers in the Cause Africa It is a signal pleasure for me to greet you at this time and to thank you for your unswerving loyalty and steadfastness during the past year. The year 1926 is now a closed book; but we have great reason to rejoice because recorded on its pages are many grand and glorious achievements for our cause. We realize that our future progress will continue to be halted from time to time by unseen difficulties. We know that the road to success is never a straight and smooth one, which would insure regular and steady progress. The pathway to Negro nationhood is like a mountain path, rough and rugged. It is a narrow pathway with many detours and the traveler must often descend if he would continue his journey to the heights. We are calling upon each and every member to increase his or her regular contributions to the limit, so that the Parent Body may be enabled to meet unlooked for expenses which confront us from time to time, as well as the current obligations which must be met promptly by the association. After all of our efforts for the release of our great leader, the Honorable Marcus Garvey, democratie-liberty-loving America—the land of Attucks, Patrick Henry, Sumner, Stowe and Lincoln—still holds him enchained. They maintain an iron grip upon his body, perhaps believing that thus they will hush for all the time the cry of an oppressed race for freedom. But we reiterate, as we make our New Year's resolutions, that destroying the body of Marcus Garvey, demolishing or stealing our Liberay Halls, or suppressing The Negro World cannot destroy the ideals of nationhood planted in the hearts of Negroes by Marcus Garvey.

They can never again become discouraged because of the undemocratic conduct of the nations of the world. We can afford to be patient, for national power and self-government are not small prizes to be won in a day. We must progress, no matter how slowly, because nothing lies in retreat except perpetual economic slavery and oppression. We must carry on with zeal and confidence, feeling assured that we are bound to win if we persevere. Members who are inclined to weariness at times and, in a weak moment, feel that our calls for funds are too frequent, must remind themselves of the size of the great program which must of necessity require thousands of dollars to carry on. This fight for freedom and liberty is the biggest thing that the Negro has attempted in the history of the race. Let us put aside every doubt as we enter the new year and resolve to assist with zeal, patience and perseverance in putting over the great program. "Let us work more diligently, so that we will cheer the heart of our absent leader and encourage him in the brave fight he is making. Let us respond cheerfully to the many appeals which those who are carrying on are forced to make from time to time in the interest of survival and progress. Accept the thanks of the Executive Council for the service rendered by the faithful members and for the confidence reposed in those who will continue to conduct the affairs of the association in the best possible manner during 1927. Our appreciation will be better expressed in our efforts to serve the race in the future. Wishing you the compliments of the season, and a very prosperous and happy new year, I am, that some day they will become white men it is destined to give them that dope that shall -make them remain asleep. My friends, you can believe all you want about what white and colored dopesters write in regard to Negro history and Negro life and Negro experience, you are at liberty to believe what you want, but I am judging the future by the past and by the present, and I have come to this conclusion, and I believe every other man would come to this conclusion, as well as the black slaters, that all that Negroes are going to get in America or any other part of the world you are going to earn it with your own strength of arm. "I am of the opinion, my friends, that the legislature of this great land will never be able to stop lynching. I am constrained to believe that if we remain hore one million years as long as there is a white majority and white predominance in the federal government, we must expect discrimination not to cease, but to get more degraded as the years roll by. While only one man is talking about Negroes rising into prominence and equality, the other 115,000,000 are planning and plotting to get rid of any Negro who has been awakened to self-determination. While one man may be thinking that Negroes ought to be free, the country at large, and the white world in its entirety, is determined that Negroes shall not be equal with white folks MEMBERS MUST AND PUT THE SC MUST BE REALI In any country where they dwell alongside, with the white man in the majority. "Very recently the President of the United States made a splendid speech. He has altogether been silent when it comes to speaking sympathetically of the 12,000,000 Negroes that are citizens of this country. For the years he has been President he has felt it unnecessary to say anything that looked like sympathy to the Negro people of this great land, but all at once he has burst forth into flame and declared that Negroes ought to have civil rights and other rights that white people have. Well, you can take that just as you please. I have learned that this a democratic country and when the other man is hunting he will do anything in the world to get voter. I have also learned that the white man, different from the colored man, does not wait until the last man to do what he proposes to do, but he starts to fortify himself early in the game. And so we find that the President of the United States has become full of sympathy for the colored people who are citizens of this republic.

All Due to Garvoy "I am hoping that you are not stirred to the extent that you believe that all of a sudden the representatives of the Federal Government of the United States have turned toward the Negro with a heart of sympathy. I want to tell you what has really happened." Negroes in eight years have been awakened. Negroes everywhere all over the world have heard the clarion call of a distinct voice telling Negroes no matter where they live they ought to be in a position to have the say so as to how they shall be governed. For eight years Negroes all over the world have answered that clarion call and have determined that they shall not be satisfied with the crumbs that fall from must get to the place that we can govern ourselves and determine our own destiny and be like other men in government and affairs of state. Now all of this sentiment in favor of us and against us has been developed within the last eight years on account of the success of the work of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, fostered and led by the Hon. Marcus Garvey (Apilhause) and whether he is the President of the United States, whether he is a Congressman, or Senator, all that he has said about the status of Negroes in the United States and, in the world, must be ELY FROM $100 VITORS TO ROUT Y, DECEMBER 30 NEW YORK CITY one of the bright women journalists of the race. The five points discussed by Mrs. Reeves were as follows: These five reasons were discussed thoroughly and with a wonderful show of sympathy by Mrs. Reeves, which must have appealed to the average person and to those in authority and argued powerfully for the generous review of the facts as brought out in the trial of the case, in which only one of the numerous counts in the indictment was found temable; and that one was incriminating only by the largest stretch of the imagination, and should not have been admitted as of record. Justice works in many queer ways, and not always to be understood, and just how a jury will determine a case depends upon so many viewpoints as often to confuse the most intelligent. It was that way in the case of Mr. Garvey. There was no real evidence to convict, because there was no real evidence of fraud. Let us labor as we have been doing with increased zeal for the liberation of President General Garvey from prison and restoration to the great work of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. DEDICATION-ANEW TO THE WORK OF THE STANDING at the threshold of the New Year, with all of its hopes outspread before us, but which we can only visualize and not see, it should be the pleasure of each member of the Universal Negro Improvement Association to dedicate himself anew to the work of the association. With most of them this would be only a form, as they are as closely wedded to the association and its work as it is possible to be. There is a large personal satisfaction in this fact, which rededication to the work will make more precious. That is the way we regard the matter, and we hope we reflect the common feeling in doing so. A great association is an institution in itself. It has a place all its own. Modern society is dominated by associations of one sort and another, the United States government being the largest and greatest association of them all. The social, civil and economic life of the world today, what we call civilization, is controlled by associations of small or large numbers of persons, for the accomplishment of the things for which they stand. We all know what the Universal Negro Improvement Association stands for. Its principles were worked out by a master mind, and they have had an immediate appeal to the Negro everywhere, because they aim at the establishment of a Negro nation in Africa, where the social, civil and economic value of the Negro will be saved to him and not alienated to others, and for the making the most and not the least of such opportunities as he may have in or be able to make for himself wherever he may be. He is the master who does not wait for others to make opportunities for him but who makes opportunities for himself and for those related to him. He blazes the way, wherever he finds himself. We need more men and women of this type. Other race groups have them in large and increasing numbers, while we have them only in small and slowly increasing numbers. Where there is increase, however, and not stagnation, there is hope, and the Negro has plenty of reasons for hoping for the best simply because he is beginning to think and speak and act for himself. The Negro everywhere should begin more and more to think and speak and act-for himself. Each member of the Universal Negro Improvement Association is expected to do this as a matter of principle and he should do it as well as a matter of self-interest. SEPARATE TREATMENT IN TRAVEL AND ACCOMMODATION EVERY reader of The Negro World is interested in the question of the treatment he receives, or shall receive, in travel and accommodation, because every reader at some time may be called upon to go upon a journey or need accommodation in a public place. And all places, of accommodation and all vehicles of transportation derive their franchises to do business not from a part but from all of the people, who make up the citizenship of the country. When discrimination is made, and in some sort it is made in all of the States, in some of them justified by statutory enactments, it is made in violation of the constitution of the country, and, as far as Inter-State travel is concerned, by a ruling of the Interstate Commerce Commission. The constitution and the law based upon it is sound enough, but the legislatures and public opinion of certain of the States, have defied the constitution and the ruling of the Interstate Commerce Commission. It devolves, therefore, upon every citizen aggrieved to appeal for justice to the courts. Suit has just been entered in New York city against the Atlantic Coast. Line and the Pullman Palace Car Company, by Mrs. Blanche S. Bookins of Brooklyn, New York, through Arthur Garfield Hays and Clarence Darrow, her-attorneys, in the sum of $25,000. By all of the law in the case she should have judgment in her favor. The facts as alleged are as follows: Mrs. Bookins bought a through ticket from New York to Orlando, Florida, with sleeping car reservation. When the train reached Jacksonville the conductor ordered her out of the Pullman sleeper and, upon her refusal, when the train reached Palatka, she was arrested, locked up over night and fined $500 and costs for violating the Florida "Jim Crow" law. On the face of it no State has any authority to pass and enforce any such outrageous law, with the principle of breach of contract involved, and any Federal court which justifies such enactment can only do so by reading law into the Federal constitution, which the Federal courts have shown a disposition to do in those casts affecting the civil rights of the Negro citizen. "We have to keep constantly in mind the maxim that "eternal vigilance is the price of liberty." If we do not fight for what is ours in common with others it will be so denied and abridged as to be worthless to us. T.

SHALL WE TURN OVER A NEW LEAF WITH THE NEW YEAR? WHEN this issue of The Negro World reaches its army of faithful patrons, one week from the issue of it, we shall be at the end of the old year and at the beginning of the new year. This is always a very tremendous thing in the life of races and of nations, whether they so regard it or not. The significance of it is not always understood and appreciated by the average person. It is regarded as a matter of course, with the festivities of the Christmas week as the main objective. They do not consider that the season is one of great rejoicing as well as one in which some very serious thinking should be done. We should be in the humor to look back over the past year, take stock of what we have gained and what we have lost, so that we may know where we stand in the present, with ourselves and with the rest of mankind, and what we may reasonably expect of the future, measured by what we know of the past and the present. But the average person does not do much thinking. He takes things as he finds them, generally, however bad they may be, often comforting himself with the thought that "the Lord knows best. His will be done." He overlooks the fact that he should be his own lord and responsible to himself and to the social order, of which he is a part, and that when he is not he must be the servant of some other—a lord or master whom he does not know. And it is not a comforting thought, that one may have a lord or master whom he does not know and may never have seen. And that is the way of the Christian world which may have come to regard as an error, in so far that the Christian people, during the past year it was greatly emphasized are beginning to be divided in their opinions and beliefs. As we enter upon the New Year the Christian world is much divided in its belief and has lost much of its grip on the faith which Paul admonished each one should always be ready to give a reason for. Can you, dear reader, give a reason for the faith in you? The beginning of the year is a good time for each one to search himself, that he may know himself as thoroughly as may be, because any person who does not know and understand himself is in the nature of a stranger to himself and will, therefore, not only act strangely towards himself but towards those with whom he is associated, or with whom he must necessarily come in contact in the various relations of life. "Know thyself," says one. "The proper study of mankind is man," says another. The first thought of the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, standing at the gateway of the New Year, is of President-General Garvey, with the hope that he may at the beginning of another year, if not sooner, be free and among them, to inspire them by his abundant thought and his active personality in the great work of the association; and to him each member sends greetings, New Year's greetings. The coming year should be a memorable one in the life of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Its great work should not only be strengthened in all of its departments, but it should be extended, amplified, in all of them. There never was a time in the history of the Negro people when they needed more a unified, compact organization, such as the Universal Negro Improvement Association, to fight its battle for a place in the sun—for a National State of their own in Africa and for domination in their own affairs, as others dominate such as belong to them, with a comprehensive control of their social, civil and economic values everywhere. To the grand effort to conserve these vast interests, each member of the association should feel called upon with the beginning of the New Year to turn over a new leaf in the book of his life, with a new determination to carry forward the work instituted by Marcus Garvey, and of which he remains the chief inspiration. The staff of The Negro World sends New Year's greetings to President-General Marcus Garvey, to the High Executive Officers and to the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. LABOR FOR THE LIBERATION OF PRESIDENT GENERAL GARVEY THERE was some expectation that President Coolidge would exercise the pardoning power during the Christmas holiday, and that President General Marcus Garvey would be one of the recipients of executive clemency, but the president was very sparing in the use of the pardoning power, more so, than presidents usually have been. He has his own reasons, and it is not for us to question them, but that does not prevent us from being disappointed, as far as our president is concerned. All the more reason, in the failure to secure a pardon in the holidays, why we should labor without letup for a pardon as we go along in the life of the year before us. It is the determined purpose and the united and persistent striving for an object which moves mountains and other things. We all know that, but we do not always put in practice what we know and fall short of our desirgs because of our lack of persistence. Salmon P. Chase Had Financial Ability as Boy Salmon P. Chase, Lincoln's Secretary of the Treasury, showed financial ability early in his life. When he went from his New Hampshire home to Worthington, Ohio, to live with his uncle he was accompanied by an older brother as far as Cleveland, where he was given instructions **as** how to reach Worthington. Finding that he had to wait several days for a coach, to take him as far as Medina, he obtained a canoe and earned several dollars by forging people across We are sure the readers of The Negro World were greatly edified by the series of articles published by us, under the heading "Five Reasons Why Marcus Garvey Should Be Released," by Mrs. Ferol W. Reeves, a brilliant associate editor of The Negro World, and the Cuyahoga River, relates J. H. Galbraith, 8th Ohio historian. In Medina he met two young men from Worthington, whom he was to accompany on their return trip. They had come on horseback, so young Chase was introduced to the "ride and" "method of travel. One of them would mount the horse and ride forward toward milion, of course outstriping the one who walked. Then the rider would dismount and tie the horse by the roadside, and press him by foot. The other, would reach the horse, mount it apil, passing his companion, would tie it up and go ahead on foot. In this way the horse was spared a double tumble and the travelers made good work. "The telephone bell in the offices of the Harlem Tuberculosis and Health Committee of the New York Tuberculosis and Health Association, 202 West 136th street, rang long and loudly. A worker answered it. "Hello!" said a woman's voice at the other end of the wire. "This is Mrs. X. My boy has been attending your dental clinic regularly for several months. We have now moved from Harlem to Brooklyn. May I bring him over to the clinic just the same? He loves it, and I am sure it has done him a great deal of good." But the worker at the Harlem office had to explain that only residents of Harlem could attend the dental clinic there. However, she did tell Mrs. X where to get in touch with the Brooklyn Tuberculosis Committee, which would tell her about other dental clinics where she could take her son. This is a part of the work carried off by the Harlem Committee—keeping in touch with all the agencies for social welfare in New York city and giving information about these various agencies to those who request it. In this way, together with their regular work in health building and disease prevention, the committee aims to fight tuberculosis and other diseases and to bring health to Harlem. The Harlem Committee is a branch of the New York Tuberculosis and Health Association, and it specializes in the treatment of tuberculosis, in addition to the popular dental clinic, health clauses for children, a lecture service which supplies health lectures to the churches, schools, clubs which desire it, and other groups or organizations that ask for the service, an information service and health examinations for children and adults. The dental clinic is one of its greatest activities. It was started on August 18, 1924, and has been a daily feature over since. During the past year the dentists who conduct it have given 1,548 volunteer hours. Since its opening, 2,000 new cases have been treated at it. The clinic is held every morning and the average number of children in attendance is 12 a day. Frequently there will be as many as 21, 22 or even 24 present. The children's teeth, are examined and given dental attention. In addition practically every child, who attends is weighed and measured, and if he is found to be undernourished his mother is visited and her co-operation in building up the health of the child is sought. If necessary, the child and the mother are given physical examinations to discover whether or not there is some physical error. So the clinic is really part of a program to build up general health and resistance to disease, so that the health of the youth of Harlem may be raised. A high resistance, based on general good health, means less chance of getting tuberculosis. How is the work carried on? - By funds supplied by the New York Turbulcosis and Health Association, which in turn raises most of its money by the sale of Christmas seals held every year from Thanksgiving to Christmas. The work continues throughout the entire year, but the plea for money in the form of sale of health stamps is made by once each year, at Christmas time, when everyone is exchanging gifts with friends. It is a little thing to buy some Christmas seals and thus send a message of cheer and good health to your friends. But it is a big thing, viewed from the standpoint of health for yourself and your community. Just a little Christmas seal here and there, but each one is a soldier enlisted in the army that is fighting the insidious enemy, tuberculosis. How many soldiers are you going to send into battle—a battle to make you a 's from tuberculosis? Seals may be purchased from the Harlem Committee, 202 West 130th street, or from boots manned by unformed workers in theatre lobbies and department stores in the community. Meat 15,000 Years Old Can Still Be Eaten In the frozen grounds of northern Sibiria specimens of elephant like mammoths and of the woolly rhinoceros, both of which lived during the ice age, sometimes are found in flesh hair and wool preserved. The flesh of these animals can be eaten, says a writer in the Scientific Monthly, though it has been in cold storage for something like 15,000 years, a record for cold storage meat. Only under exceptional conditions the skin can be virtually perfect condition in fossils. When worms and other soft bodied animals are quickly buried by mud that prevents bacterial decay, they leave impressions that may show not only the surface but also the internal structure. Such fossils are found even in very ancient rocks, but they are rare. 6.000 Japanese Families To Settle in Brazil. **TOKIO.**—Brazilian land bought by a group of over fifty Japanese business men organized as the South American Development Association will be used to hire Japanese farmers and hand away from their homeland. Discontented over the high prices and with the doors of the United States, Canada and Australia, closed against them, the Japanese find a welcome outfit in Brazil. The syndicate intends at first to settle some 8,000 Japanese families on the newly acquired farming land, which is rich and favored by local temperature. "Unfortunately our populated Japan does not produce enough food for her people, so the farming class is not the boat section to recruit EDITORIAL OPINION OF THE NEGRO PRESS Hernia A hernia is due to a weak spot in the abdominal wall that may have been present from birth, or that is the result of an operation. If that weak spot has been present from birth, it may gradually enlarge until a small part of the bowel begins to protrude. That protruding part of the bowel or lump which appears under the skin is known as "hernia." The hernia which occurs after an operation is known as "hernia through the scar." In this case, the piece of bowel has succeeded in pushing itself out through the weakened abdominal wall. A hernia is a serious condition in all cases, but it is particularly serious for those who do manual labor or indulge in strenuous physical exercises. Such persons are naturally bringing more strain to bear on the weak spot in the abdominal wall. If the case is mild, that is, if the hernia is small it is possible to hold the bowel factorially by means of a truss. The wearing of the truss, however, often becomes annoying and is likely to weaken the surrounding tissues, therefore, if the person is young, man strong an operation is usually advised. Unless the hernia is blood and the "knuckle of the intestine" back within the body, strangulation may result with serious consequences. Only a quick and skillful operation cart can save life. Inasmuch as the danger of strangulation is always present where a hernia exists, the doctor should be consulted and his instructions should be carefully followed. CHINESE SAID TO BE MENTALLY LAZY Fatalism, Which Stifles the Aspirations of Most Asiatics, Holds the Chinese Back PEKING, China—Dr. Hu Shih, one of China's greatest living philosophies scholars and a member of the faculty of one of the government's nine universities, has created a great stir in Peking by the publication of the China Contemporary Review of an article in which he bitterly assails the Chinese for mental and spiritual "laziness" and at the same time lauds Occidental civilization. The article, headed, "Our Attitude Toward Modern Civilization," declares that the Chinese are absurd in their charge that Western civilization is "materialistic" while Chinese civilization is "spiritual and idealistic." Just the reverse is true, he declares. Admitting that the foreigners pay more attention to material comforts than do the Chinese, he insists that this is a form of idealism that good mental work can be done only if comfort is not neglected. He cited the eagerness of the western nations to improve the poorer classes in every way. China, he declares, has long nursed upon a pestilential Oriental ordeal which preaches; "Know nothing think nothing"; follow the plan of God, life is limited, therefore, why try for limitless wisdom?" This, he declares, is to adopt mental and spiritual laziness as a standard and is glossy materialistic, for the laziness permeated to all physical sides of life and makes sluggards. Dr. Hu Shih, though not a Christian, denounces all of the do-not-nothing philosophies of the Orient, from Confucianism and Buddhism up and down the line, and urges his follow-countrymen to "take up." Naturally they do not like it. Condones Carolina -Lyriching By States Rights Inference WASHINGTON, Dec. 25—Writing from Orange, S.C., a scribe who identifies himself with the designation "A Southern Democrat," in speaking of States Rights, under date of December 13, 1926, says: "This position' is sound, and the attitude of the South on a Federal anti-lynching bill leads one to the conclusion that the South still believes in 'States Rights.' The teachings of Calhoun have not been relegated to the limbo of lost political ideals, in South Carolina, in any event." C.P.E.

YOUNG CRIMINALS FROM BAD ASSOCIATIONS Boy Prisoners Say "Desire for Easy Money and Rum Also Help to Fill Reformatory From the New York Sun ALBANY - Bad associates," Dustin for "easy money," intoxicating liquor and need of money to take girls out are given as the contributing causes for their crimes by the majority of the inmates at the State reformatory at Elmira. This was brought out by the answers to a questionnaire distributed among them by Dr. Frank L. Christian, superintendent of the institution. All but 48 of the 900 prisoners answered the questions. The majority of them, 444 were between the ages of 16 and 31; 320 were between 21 and 25 and 88 between 26 and 31. The result of the questionnaire was announced today by the State Prison Commission. The crimes for which the reformatory inmates were convicted wore: Grand larceny, 280; burglary, 260; robbery, 145; rape, 150; assault, 35; forgery, 30, and petty larceny, 35.

OUR WOMEN and WHAT THEY THINK-Edited by Mrs. Amy Jacques Garvey WHY THE DESIRE TO DESTROY GARVEY? WE feel, at this time that we ought to bring to the attention of the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association the fact that there is a concerted action on the part of some Negroes and whites to "get rid of Garvey." "Incredible!" you may say, seeing that he is in prison, but it is nevertheless true. His imprisonment was a part of the plan to get rid of him, but that has failed to produce the disastrous effects anticipated, and now the question is to find some effective means of getting rid of him. Why? You may ask. There are a thousand answers to this simple question, but the time is not ripe for us to expose some of the motives behind the persecution of Mareus Garvey, and for his own safety we leave unsaid many things for a while; yet the general reasons are: To destroy the great organization he has founded and built up; to supplant him with a puppet leader, controlled by whites, and to divert Negroes' minds from Africa and nationalism. The interest in the Negro at this time is intense, not from an intrinsic standpoint, but purely selfish. The Asiatics are evolving into progressive nationals. With this danger facing the whites, they turn to the Negroes as the only prey left for their exploitation, and finding them striving toward nationhood under the leadership of Mareus Garvey, they become alarmed and seek to destroy him in the hope of putting a tool in his place, one whom they can use to fool the Negroes, and keep them disorganized and ignorant of their potentialities, and further, to use them as cannon-fodder in wars of aggression. Their act is an attempt to hold Africa as a feeding ground for white nations, while her heirs are mistreated and brutalized in all parts of the world. Sensing these motives it is our earnest plea that our members be on the alert and strengthen themselves to defeat those who would destroy their leader and his program for Negro emancipation. The great bugaboo is independent. Negro leadership, which has no white mentor directing it, hence poisoned arrows are aimed at Garvey, the leader, and the darts of ridicule, calumny and persecution are pierced deep into him. But the new Negro is here to stay, and to let the world of land-grabbers know that "Africa is for the Africans, those at home and those abroad," and no human agency can make them change their program. That the persecution of Marcus Garvey only intensifies their desire to speedily put over the program he has mapped out, and should he come to an untimely end through the machinations of his enemies, millions of the sons and daughters of Africa will vow their lives to avenge his death, while his spirit will inspire them to great deeds for African redemption. AMERICAN MARINES AGAIN-IN NICARAGUA ROM the latest reports we learn that the special American squadron in Nicaragua in disarming the Liberal forces and expelling them from their strongholds. This practically amounts to armed intervention, and is done in order to prevent the Liberals from gaining power, and to keep President Diaz, the puppet in control, which, in other words, means that the interest of American bankers is being served by the marines at the cost of the welfare of the common people of Nicaragua. Arthur Brisbane, the celebrated editorial writer for Hearst's publications, has the following to say on the subject: "The big United States reaches the ultimatum stage in its dealings with little Nicaragua's attempt to establish a better, more liberal government. Uncle Sam tells the so-called 'rebels' of Nicaragua what they must do, including the evacuation of Puerto Cabezas. "Once we were small and poor, fighting England, and were glad to have France sympathize with us, instead of sending an ultimatum, ordering us to submit to things as they were. "There is no more justice in our ordering Nicaragua's Liberal party to submit to an unwelcome government than it would have been for France to decide against us, in 1776." It is refreshing to read such comment from the pen of Mr. Brisbane, a gentle reminder, indeed, that every dog has his day. It is hoped that money-mad America will pause in its imperialistic attitude toward Nicaragua and Mexico at this time, as the day may come when she will need their friendship instead of their enmity.

FIFTY-FIFTY MARRIAGES A FIGURE OF SPEECH Man Still Considers Himself the God of the Family In the New York World What's wrong with modern marriage? Is anything wrong with it? Is the fifty-fifty marriage a success? Do modern couples expect too much of marriage? Does the fault lie with the woman? Most people seem to think so, but why? "The modern woman is trying to eat her cake and have it, too." Thus is the present-day difficulty with marriages, up by two leaders in thought in their respective fields. On the one hand we have the opinions of Dr. George A. Dorsey, ainent phychosanalyst and searcher after the truth; on the other those of Justice Charles L. Guy, who has studied the seamy side of marital problems from the thousands of divorce cases he has tried during his score of years on the Supreme Court bench in New York City. Both are married. The chief trouble, they contend, is that husbands and wives of today seek and expect the advantages of both wedlock and the single state without the disadvantages of either. Although this involves both, the burden of it is placed upon the woman—upon the new woman who doesn't quite know what to do with all the freedom she has acquired. Asked what the expects of marriage, the modern woman's answer—based upon numerous inquiries made at random is: "A square deal," "An even break," "A fifty-two partnership." Senior and Junior Partnership No such definite opinion was forthcoming from the modern man, how ever. Answers varied, and efforts to pin them down to percentages resulted in anything from a sixty-forty to a ninety-ten arrangement with the ratio always in favor of the male. Only in one case was a fifty-fifty basis suggested and then not unconditionally- According to Dr. Dorsey, the fifty-fifty marriage state is only a figure of speech with us. "Rightly or wrongly," he says, "man is still getting away with' the idea of being the 'god' of the family." The psychologist advocates a partnership, arrangement, pointing out that, like a business partnership, a marriage partnership should consist of a senior and a junior member, and the lesser role, that of the junior partner, should be the wife's. "Based on a senior and junior partnership arrangement, the scheme should work out successfully" in the home; he said during the course of a recent interview. "Some one has to take the initiative, and as long as our society is constituted as it is, it is up to the husband to do so, because business affairs are wider open to men." Equal Voice in Management Justice Guy, on the other hand, thinks the fifty-nity marriage arrangement is not only a possibility, but that the secret of successful marriage rests with such co-partnership. "Let them he honest partners with equal rights in the household, equal voice in its management, equal opportunities for success and happiness," he offers as the most important rule for happy marriage. He warns against the type of partnership which does not take into account the full interests of both individuals, saying: "The success or failure of marriage depends largely on the willingness of each party to respect the rights of the other and to encourage the individual development and usefulness of the other in every sense. The trouble with so many marriages is that they are based on egotism and selfishness rather than upon the recognition of this principle. I did no-warrant, either in religion, philosophy or common sense, for the trend of thought common to many people that the wife should make over the husband to fit her womanly ideas and ideals; that is, make him her own mental or spiritual image; or that the husband should do likewise toward the wife. Let each respect the individuality, of the other." Job for a Good Samaritan A live-wire-axesman rushed up to the home of a doctor in a small village about 3 a. m. and asked him to come at once to a distant town. The doctor cranked his flivver and they drove furiously to their destination. "Three dollars," said the physician, in surprises. "Here you are," said the salamman, handling over the money, "the blamed garage keeper wanted $15 to drive the over when I missed my train."—Keystone Motorlet.

DEMOCRACY IN DISSIELAND 4,300,000 Negroes Disfranchised in Southern States of America (From The Daily Worker) Four million three hundred thousand Negroes are disfranchised in Southern States. This fact is now in the records of the United States Senate, and it is no longer, possible to gloss over this shameful suppression of the racial unit which does the hardest, dirtiest and most necessary work in "Disle-land." The details are at hand. They have been exposed as a result of one of the internal struggles of American capitalism and Negro organizations, aided by the labor movement, and should make known to all the world the denial by force to the supposedly free members of the Negro race of the elementary right to take part in local, State and National elections—a right that is possessed and exercised by the millions of mentally unfit white persons over 21 years of age. According to statements made in the Senate on Monday, and to which no denial was made, Alabama has disfranchised 400,000 Negroes; Arkansas, 300,000; Florida, 200,000; Georgia, 600,000; Louisiana, 300,000; Mississippi, 300,000; North Carolina, 200,000; South Carolina, 350,000; Tennessee, 400,000; Texas, 800,000; Virginia, 450,000. It in 61 years since the Civil War ended, yet Negroes in the Southern States are not citizens. They are ruled by a hostile rite and class against whose cruelties they have not even the right of protest by ballot. They are robbed, tortured and murdered with still less pretenses of legality than prevailed in the days of feudalism. The magnificent periods of the capitalist and official labor pokesmen, the sonorous tributes to American democracy, the flag-waving and patrolteering, are meaningless enough to the white working class of this country, but they are pure truths to them compared to the total lack of their practical application to the life of the Southern Negro masses. The American labor movement can not hold up its head as long as this condition prevails. Still more to its shame is the fact that it still supports the candidates of the Democratic and Republican parties—except when the rivalry, for one reason or another, is more than usually intense—have a "gentleman's agreement" to say nothing whatever about the submerged 4,300,000. Britain Overworks Them LONDON—Labor leaders are eager to know how many vacuum cleaners fire owned by the Government, and notice has been given that the subject is to be brought up in the House of Commons in the interest of the charwomen who take care of the Whitwell Hall Government offices. The claim has been set forth that the charwomen are overworked and underpaid, and an effort is to be made to have the Government set up and commit of inquiry to look into the matter thoroughly. Spokesmen for the charwomen use the Government Office of Works of going too far in order to economise. They assert that the charwomen are now held responsible for cleaning 2,500 superficial feet per head, instead of 2,000 superficial feet an formerly. The charwomen are also required to clean waltles, which they contend is not a part of the job, as this necessitates more or less ladder climbing and therefore should be undertaken by them. TEN LAWS FOR LOVERS By DR. W. HOUGHTON "Do not trifle with hearts, or some one may step on yours. "Do not marry for beauty. Sometimes a little paint covers an old model. "Do not court a 'gimme,' or your birthstone may be a grindstone. "Do not buy her all the candy now. Life will need some sweetening latex. "Do not marry too young. Puppy love, sometimes leads to a dog's life. "Do not forget married life is a partnership, not a battleship." "Do not expect faithfulness you do not give. Marriage is mutual." "Do not expect perfection. There is no one perfect but you. "Do not be critical. The tongue is a dagger that reaches the heart. NOTES OF INTEREST Mexico and Russia A Comparison "Not even a high school student could confound the social evolution of Mexico with the Soviet ideology. The revolutions and political crises of Mexico are characteristic products of Latin America as in whole and of our country in particular. Any onlooker could easily note that the only point in common between the problems of Russia and of Mexico is the liberty of the people, oppressed by centuries of servitude. Outside of that, everything differs. The soil, the population, history, creeds, commercial intercourse, customs, are all different. The Russian problem is typically Slav, Oriental, political, the connecting link between the Orient and the Occident. The Mexican problem is a societal problem, the struggle of a people eternally despoiled, an obscure aspiration to better things, the problem of educating the masses, of irrigating our lands, of building up highways and commercial intercourse. Mexico City Excelsior. China's Spiritual Needs "What is needed is a completely revolutionized outlook on life, a new recognition of spiritual values and the possibilities of modern civilization. We need a new appreciation of material progress, no as a means of money-making, but as the effective means of emancipating human energy from the pitiful struggles for base subsistence. We need a new conception of government for bringing the greatest well-being to the greatest number, a new conception of science, not to produce smokeless powder or airplanes for destruction but as the road to truth and the liberator of the human spirit. The laborers are few, but we must prepare ourselves for the leadership of the nation."—Prof. Hu Ship. The Embarrassment Of Television There are domains which science should not enter—or at least where the thought of its entrance is appalling. For example, a man today may sit in the privacy of his bedroom—even in the ultra-privacy of his bed—and, thanks to the wondertain invention of the telephone, may carry on a conversation with the most beautiful lady he knows. He may have laid his wig on the wig-stand; his bajamas may be minus their top button; there is, in short, no limit to the possible extent to his dishabille, but the colloquy may be of the utmost propriety and decorum. Science, however, intrudes; the television apparatus makes it possible for the image of the telephone speaker to be conveyed simultaneously with his voice. Privacy is gone, comfort is gone, the early hours of the morning are lost in priming and preening, all in order to carry on a short conversation over the telephone. The Nation. Milk—The Perfect Food A quart of milk contains the same "energy" value as eight eggs, or two pounds of potatoes, or three-quarters of a pound of lean beef, or one-third of a pound of cheese. It is said that one of the reasons why the Japanese are an under-sized nation is that, until very recent years, milk has been almost unknown in their island kingdom. But now that cows have been imported and babies and school children are being given milk, a decided improvement in stature is even now noticeable. Nation in which milk cannot be obtained substitute fish and natural rice, soy beans, millet, carley, coconut and so forth. All of these, though rich in organic elements, cannot replace milk. The death-rate is extremely high among children in countries where milk is not readily available. Alice B. Irvine. Make Your Daughter If I had a daughter, I would train her to be self-supporting long before she left school. I would give her not an allowance, but wages out of which she should pay me board, buy her own clothing, pay for her own pleasure, and save something each month. And these wages should be just about the same amount she would earn during her first year in business. And when she took her first position she would budget her earnings, in exactly the same way. You can’t transform a wasteful high-school miss into a thrifty wage-earner in one week, nor in one year. Her training in handling money must start early. Marital Li Among WASHINGTON, Dec. 25.—Marital life among wage-carrying women of Mississippi varies widely as between white and colored women, according to our analysis just made by the Women's Bureau of the U. S. Department of Labor, which finds that "a much larger proportion of white than of Negro women-were unmarried and, while the proportion of the women married and living with their husbands was identical for both groups, over one-third of the Negro women, and only one-sixth of the white women were widowed, separated or divorced."

NELSON'S HAIR DRESSING THREE CLASSES OF INCOME SPENDERS To Which Do You Belong— Stingy, Thriwty or Spend- thrift; By DORIS BLAKE (In the New York News) There are three classes of income spenders—the top saving, the thrifty, and the spendthrifts. In which class do you belong? About this time of year it is well to take inventory and make a few new resolutions where they are needed. There are a number of people that are too saving for their own good, strange as it may seem to those of us that lean toward the other extreme. There are men who are too pernicious to take advantage of or to give to their families the advantages of education. They begrudge a nickel for the little recreations which enter a normal family life to round it out reasonably, happily. I have had any number of confessions from wives, married fifteen years, twenty-five, and but yesterday from one married forty years, who never knew what a holi- $500 Reward If I day meant in the sense your two weeks' yearly vacationist knows one. One married twenty-four years had never been "treated" once in all that time, though her husband's bank account stood asleep fifty thousand-odd dollars to his credit. The children, she admitted, look forward to the time when the "old man" dies. An idea current, unfortunately, in a good many families where normal pleasures are denied. At the other extreme, devastating, too, though I doubt if it is ever so dismally blighting as the Midas clutch is extravagance. You belong to the spendthrift class if your living expenses and your recreational costs total 88 per cent of your income. Between these two extremes you have the people who get the most out of life. A wise thriftiness insures the enjoyment of comfort, well-being, and security. These people spend less than they earn and save systematically. How to Make Others Love You Be sought after and admired.

The grunt and start on the mission of Mystery into a vault for roots to a swamp for weeds, to a forest for leaves, into the woods for bark, or to Garvey Sounding Nationhood Call To the Editor of The Negro World. In this year 1914, when the World War broke out in Europe, those Governments sounded the call for help. Negroes everywhere, as loyal subjects and citizens, answered the call for two years. Two million eight hundred thousand of us labored. And what was the reward? "I thank you for your service." Now, the call of Africa's redemption is sounded through the Hon. Marous Garvey, who is saying: "Black men so build a place in Africa to protect yourself and your posterity." How many of us as Negroes have answered this call? Are we 400,000,000 Negroes going to see this face of ours go to destruction without making some efforts to save our motherland and our children. The program of the U. N. T. A. is mapped out by the Hon. Marcus Garvey is the only hope for us—and this rued problem that now confronts us, every member of the race must see that the year 1927 ends with them fighting under the banner of the Red Black and Green—under one Gold, Yawm and one Destiny—until Africa is redeemed until 400,000,000 Negroes are freed. God bless the Hon. Marcus Garvey! Long live the U. N. T. A.! God save Africa! JONATHAN TROUGHT HAVANA, Cuba To the Editor of The Negro World: "To those who wonder whether we will defeat the enemy or whether we will not I will say yes, one thousand times 'Yes.' But I want the members to hear it in their minds that the only way we can defeat them is to stand 100 percent behind the 'Hon. Marcus Garvey.' And in standing by the side of the noble leader we sacrifice ourselves in order that our posterity, not unborn, will live as well as any other people who are considered superior. That will free and redeem Africa whideth her millions of black sons and daughters, will lead Negro up to the heights of civilization - Shindler not such a movement with a bureaface or by my representations. Enemies are seeking to disrupt our movement, but the great Kish of kings has ordered the Hon. Marcus Garvey to stand firm with his eyes wide open and he will deliver him out of the hands of his oppressors. With the aid of the 400,000,000 he will produce to the world a new civilization.

Old Clothes Men Seek International Treaty WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.—The rag picker is no longer a downtrodden, unfortunate individual. The old clothes dealer, whose order, on the street are familiar to every one, is seeking an international agreement by which he will play a leading part in world trade, according to advice from Berlin received by the Department of Commerce today. Rag dealers from all countries of the world meet in Paris some time ago to draw up regulations which are considered necessary to eliminate the disagreements which arise frequently between exporters and importers of rags. The trade in rags between the United, States and Germany assumes considerable proportions annually, stales the Department of Commerce. The rags, collected by rag pickers from all over Europe, are used in this country for paper and board production. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JANUARY 1, 1927 CARMI THOMPSON FAVORS AUTONOMY IN PHILIPPINES Wants Islands. Put. Under New Department — Blames Wood's Military Entourage for Deadlock — Opposes Scheme to Separate Mindanao and Sulu WASHINGTON, Dec. 22. "The military atmosphere of the present administration" in the Philippine Islands is an unfortunate factor in indiscrete political attention there, which might well be removed by transfer of those and other American insular possessions from the War Department to the administration of an independent civil agency in the Government. This is one of the important recommendations in the report of Carmil A. Thompson, who toured the island as a special representative of President Coolidge. His findings were transmitted to Congress today by the President. Mr. Thompson, a Cleveland manufacturer and Republican politician, is himself a veteran, having been retired as a colonel after the Spanish-American War, and within, the last year was president of the United Spanish War Veterans. Wants Deadlock Broken The "fundamental need" of the islands, he found, is settlement of the situation typified by the deadlock between Governor General Wood and the Legislature and by the independence movement. While Mr. Thompson does not consider the islands ready for immediate independence, citing their lack of funds and lack of a common language among a number of practical obstacles, he recommends that their internal autonomy be increased as conditions warrant, until they are sufficiently developed to rule themselves. The proposal to separate Mindano and Sulu from the other islands was opposed flatly "unless the United States were to break faith with the Moros." This proposal, made to Congress, has been considered a step toward development of rubber plantations with imported labor. Status of the Moros "The Moros, unconquered by Filipinos or Spaniards, surrendered to the Americans upon receiving what they believed to be a sollen promise of the United States to protect them from Filipino rule" he communicated further. "The obligation of this promise should be met." He favored strengthening of American control over the Moro islands while suggesting that the insular government's efforts to persuade the Moros to become members of a united FIL- "Choking Caterch and Head Noises Loft the First" Day," is the "Amazing Statement of a Missouri Resident Harking, intuiting, choking Caterch and Bronchial Asthma, Head Noises and the many attacks caused by my longer nose.

"I was continually hawking and spitting and was a source of great joy." The constant爽利- and mildly- but I knew now- enthusiastically gave up. "My Hiking makes the remarkable new treatment Walls Formula, and God bles you." polo nation should be respected and encouraged. In presenting the report to Congress Mr. Coolidge commented that it "was more candid and intimate" than was usual with such documents, and, "while I do not agree entirely, with all his views and recommendations, I believe that the report is an excellent one and merits your careful consideration. He went to the Philippine islands as a volunteer. He gave his time. He said a large sum for his own expenses. For all this he is entitled to sincere thanks." Blames Both Sides for Kratilton While observing that "on the whole Gem. Wood is to be commended for his efficient conduct of affairs," Mr. Thompson said: "Responsibility for friction appears to be divided between the executive and legislative branches of the Government. The Legislature and its leaders have consistently sought to exercise powers vested in the Governor General. Many of these were virtually abandoned to them by the Chief Executive who preceded Gen. Wood and they have stubbornly contested Gen. Wood's efforts to regain and exercise them. "On the other hand, the military atmosphere of the present 'Administration has been unfortunate in its reactions upon the Filipino leaders. The Governor General, himself a distinguished soldier, is surrounded by a group of American army officers who serve as assistants, aides and confidential advisers. These officers have excellent military records, but evidently lack training and experience in the duties of civil government and in dealing with legislative bodies and civilian officials. "Instead of facilitating co-operation between the Governor General on the one hand and the Filipino heads of the executive departments and the legislative leaders on the other, this group has been one of the factors which have made co-operation difficult." No Anti-Americanism Found "I found no evidence of any anti-Americanism which would necessitate military control," Mr. Thompson asserted. "Provided that we avoid exploitation in our conduct toward the Filipinos, there seems to be no danger of sedition or insurrection. My observations lead me to believe the people would be more contented and less inclined toward unrest under a more-purely civil administration." Provision of civil advisers was recommended in order to relieve the Governor of the necessity of selecting his assistants from the army. Other recommendations included extension of the Federal Reserve system to the islands, establishments of one or more Federal Land Banks to aid farmers who now pay from 12 to 30 percent interest for loans; establishment of agricultural experiment stations; withdrawal of the Philippine Government from private business; amendment of the Land Laws by the Legislature to attract capital for the development of production of rubber, coffee, and other tropical products, some of which are controlled by monopolies. The report opposed any change at this time in the Jones act, the fundamental law of the islands, or any change by Congress of the Philippine Land Laws. Rest Periods for Workers Found Profitable Dr. Elton Mayo. of the Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania, has been working on a theory that radicalism in factory employees is, at least; partly, a question of physical condition. If a man is overfried he becomes pessimistic, irritable and willing to sit up trouble. This is especially true if the man is employed at a job, that doesnt require all his thought. Mayo believes that destructive thinking may be greatly reduced if man are given opportunity to sit down or lie down oftenen, says Fred Kelly in Nation's Business Magazine. In one factory where the labor turnover was high and output low it was observed that nearly all of the workers were obliged to remain a dying time on their feet. To remedy this, the management introduced rest pauses—in a ten hour day, in which all workers were asked to lie down and wore even instructed in the best method of relaxation. Soon the whole crowd became, more careful and their output noticeably increased.
