The Negro World

ONWARD IN 1927! Only A Question of Time When the World Will Be Forced to Give A Respectful Hearing to the Soul-Cry of the New Negro The world is now face to face with a terrible unrest. Humanity everywhere is provoked to the point of action. In this clamor to reach the top, 400,000,000 Negroes have also lifted their united voices to high heaven for a better adjustment of racial affairs and for a better consideration of things economic, political and social. The Universal Negro Improvement Association sponsors the new spirit of the new Negro. We feel that there is need for an immediate readjustment; that things cannot continue as they are. Feeling thus makes us very outspoken in our declaration. We want liberty, we want true freedom. We want the privilege of living and exercising our rights as men. The world is not inclined or disposed to grant us this, hence we are in conflict with the world. The organized groups that have controlled the affairs of the darker and weaker peoples of the world are now exerting every energy and making every effort to further subjugate our race by a sinister and underhand effort to destroy the usefulness of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. There is no secret about it. England and France have been using their agents and their spies in the United States of America to undermine the influence of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. To what extent they have succeeded is made manifest in the fact that the Universal Negro Improvement Association stands firmer than ever in its declaration for African freedom and universal emancipation for Negroes. I have been imprisoned, but the great work proceeds. Great embarrassments have been caused through the work of these agents and spies, some of whom were even employees of our organization and auxiliary corporations. We know them all. Some we discovered too late, but their activities have been closely observed to the point where it makes us only more determined to wage an unrelenting battle until we have brought about the completion of our work. The embarrassments we have had in the Black Star Line and other business enterprises were but the result of the undermining influences of agents who have been at work for the purpose of defeating our industrial plans by which they could convince the unthinking multitude of what they would call the "failure" of the African Redemption Movement, but these arch enemies of Negro progress are calculating without their hosts. In their opposition they are counting upon the old psychology of the old Negro. The new Negro has learned to measure failures but as stepping stones to success, so that nothing that has happened to the Universal Negro Improvement Association will deter the new Negro one bit in waging a campaign for African redemption and universal emancipation. We need not go back to the histories of France and England and even of America to recount the many failures in governments before they were able to reach the positions that they now occupy in world politics. The Universal Negro Improvement Association, therefore, is satisfied to pass through even the same set-backs as did America in her making, or England in her rise from a slave nation to the great imperial power that she is today. Conflict of Wit and Intelligence We are engaged in a conflict of wits and intelligence. Black men of the world must utilize their brain power in competition with the brain power of the other races in making a place and holding it in the affairs of men. We are determined to redeem Africa through the Universal Negro Improvement Association. We shall fight on until we have succeeded in giving a consciousness of race to each and every member of the 400,000,000 Negroes. Thank God, Africa has awakened to the cry of "Africa for the Africans at Home and Abroad!" Not only in South Africa but West Africa, North Africa, East Africa and Central Africa has the doctrine been promulgated. The great flame of liberty is burning and in a short while it will have consumed all that stands in opposition to light and freedom. Let us go before the world in the year just begun with a greater determination to fight this battle. Let us not slacken our energies one bit, for beyond that dark cloud we can see a silvery lining. Let the world criticize us, but the world is sober and sensible enough to know that ultimately the Negro will triumph in his cause of justice. The studied scorn of the world is but a subterfuge to divert the Negro's attention from the object that he has set before him. Didn't the world laugh at Washington of America and the great leaders of French liberation? Didn't the world laugh at the reformers of Russia? But what has happened? We see great America today; we see great France and rising Russia—all the work of those who had the courage to stick to their convictions; so in a short while we will see a new Africa, not of slaves, but of free men. Not of an autocracy, but of the most liberal democracy possible to man. Let us, wheresoever we are, remake ourselves in determination and purpose, in serving the great cause of African redemption, and in carrying out the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. As the forces of opposition line up against us, let us, as a race, stand firm, and we will break down all barriers; we will scatter from our path all opposition. Men, I say, it is only a question of time. P. S.—Let every Division, Branch, Chapter and member of the Universal Negro Improvement Association do the best possible to help the parent body in its financial appeal for carrying out of the program. Send in your reports and pay up your Assessment Tax. Pay your dues and thus you will help the great cause. M. G. No Reason for Misgivings and Doubt—Negroes Have Already Exhibited All the Qualities Necessary in the Strenuous Task of Nation-Building—U. N. A. Is Pointing the Way; Let the Real Men and Women of the Race Rally to Its Standard The Negro of the Western world was born in the school of Rhilanthropy, he lives in the school of chance, and invariably dies in the school of ignorance. Unsquificite philanthropy engenders laziness. Chance is fascinating but unreal. Ignorance is the curse of the ages. Genuine BAYER ASPIRIN Unless you see the "Bayer Cross" on tablets'you are not getting the genuine Bayer-Aspirin proved safe by millions and prescribed by physicians for 25 years. such a program, as this which foster holds no interest for the Negro who graduation from the college above not forth. Only for who possesses the highest conception of life, liberty, and the pursuits of happiness can afford to embrace Garvey's building a nation is the severest test to maintain any ambitious race or group can commit itself. Nationhood is the child of slavery and Marcus Garvey could have selected no more advantageous era than this to promulgate such an ideal. It comes at a time when the Negro stands out conspicuously in his achievements as conqueror of every known human and natural adversary of man. By advocating the building of a nation in Africa as the solution to our problem, Marcus Garvey drove a peculiar fear into the heart of the Negro, a fear based upon the magnitude of the program and the responsibilities to be born in the successful execution thereof. Herculeans Achievements Such a fear should give way to confidence supreme. The privations, the hardships, the peril of disease and death on the road to nationhood in Africa are but pimples beside that which the Negro overcame at the North Pole, the Panama Canal and Cuba, on the estates of the United Fruit Co. in the Central American republics, and on the battlefields of France, Palestine and Mesopotamia. In these regions the Negro in the role of soldier, laborer, and adventurer bullied railroads where one treacherous jungles of the winterland held away. He turned marshs and swamps into thriving cities and towns, bringing death from the drowned yellow fever, typhoid and tuberculosis. He converted the habitats of sharks and other sea deeds into flourishing ports and magnificent harbors. He was the deciding factor in the success of that great commercial institution known as the United Fruit Co. He made Todd Roosevelt famous and crowned Henry with imperiality. There is no climate, no human or natural condition that the Negro has not yet mastered. His is a physicist machine that has decided every important battle in which, physical prowess was the price of victory. God and nature have combined to make him the perilous specimen of supermanhood. Where then is the excuse for turning away from the path of nationhood? His own history of service to others belie him The U. N. J. A's Task The membership of the Universal Negro Improvement Association is a group apart on which the eyes of the world are centred, not in despair but in surprise and restlessness. To demonstrate to an anxious world that the Negro is deserving of a place in the bigger brotherhood of man, this is our task. We shall not have completed it until a powerful Negro nation in Africa shall have shed its civilizing influence and power throughout the universe. We are is guided in proportion to our independent achievements. The more we achieve independently the higher we climb in the scale of world power and universal respect. Building nation means much more than most of us can perceive just now. There are problems uniting us that will merit the highest and best in human intelligence. There are obstacles in the distance of which we dare not conceive. Our common problem. The only thing that matters is our knowledge of man. With new discoveries through science and chemistry, greeting us daily, nation building in Africa by Nigroes should prove less vigorous than nation building for others has been to them. Gurvayism challenges the race to produce its scientists and chemists. VANCOUVER, B. C., Dec. 29. A number of British-born residents of the United States who came to Canada for Christmas have found themselves barred from returning to America because of a sudden tightening of the immigration laws. Many have businesses in cities on the Pacific Coast. Protests and appeals have been forwarded to Washington. manclers, and statesman, its historians and educators, its industrial and commercial wizards. To decline such a challenge is to be branded as a coward. We owe our progenitors a monument, not or cowardice but of glorious manhood. Let that monument be nothing less than a nation in Africa, representative of their sacrifices; their prayers, and our own conception of life, liberty, and the pursuits of happiness. Better Class Italians Also Outstripping Americans — Complacency is Blamed—Worse in Country Than in City SYRACUSE, Dec. 27.—"The Jewish boy in New York City—and the better class Italian boy—have a zeal for study that puts to shame the boy of native American parentage." Dr. Avery W. Skinner of the State Department of Education told an audience of Academics Principals in convention here today. Referring to the "complacency of students in high school these days," Dr. Skinner said too many "seem satisfied with a passing grade and this attitude in more marked today in the country schools" than in the city schools, and particularly among the American born to our shame it must be said." Dr. Skinner described having seen whole families of foreigners faithfully studying their lessons, in tenements on the east side of New York, and then he inquired, "How many families of our own American stock all down after supper to study?" In the last six or seven years, the educator revealed, "there has been an abnormal increase in the number of high school pupils in the State, statistics showing 100 per cent more boys and girls enrolled." "They are drawn from all levels of society, from all races and, sometimes I think, from all grades of intelligence," he explained. "As a result we have a mass problem which some of us in our teaching twenty-five years ago, did not face." A similar pressure of numbers has come to bear on the colleges. Dr. Skinner pointed out, as he reviewed some of the measures used by higher educational institutions to "choose the cream of applicants." "Use of the commercial course as a damping ground or education waste hasket for the lower levels" was denounced by Dr. Skinner. "We are not only educating for making a living, but we are educating for life," he said, remarking too many pupils have been taking the commercial course "to get a job as typist or stoneographer." THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JANUARY 8, 1927 TO THE NEGROES OF HARLEM TO THE NEGROES OF HARLEM THE BAMBOO INN, a Seventh avenue cabaret and restaurant owned and operated by Chinese, is drawing the color line, closing its doors to Negroes, so that white patrons and Chinese, East and West, may meet indeed in frolic unconfined. This may be a blessing in disguise for Negroes, but the action is, nevertheless, monstrous, vicious and insulting. Negroes of Harlem instead of wailing and growing indignant should use a weapon, a very powerful weapon, which is in their hands—THE BOYCOTT. BOYCOTT THESE ESTABLISHMENTS and thus drive the Chinese out of Harlefm. Stop enriching them, and recapture an opportunity FOR NEGRO ENTERPRISE. A simple remedy this—the boycott—and one which every other race uses. Start now and bring these impertinent Orientals back to their senses.—Managing Editor, The Negro World. To Answer Charge of Conspiring With Two Other Dry Agents to "Shake Down" Speakeasies—Held in $7,500 Bail—Evidence Collected as Result of Investigation by Prohibition Administrator GAINING THE GOAL AT ANY PRICE THE NORDIC WAY Scientists May Assist Politicians to Solve South Africa Native Problem—Finding Excuses for Not Educating Natives Along Progressive Lines [Editor's Note—The following article, which appeared in a recent issue of the Rand Daily Mail, Johannesburg, South Africa, is repolled for the purpose of showing readers the during persistence of the white man in his plans to subjugate and rule the black man eternally. Here the old inferiority rabbit is again set down in black and white, and the scientists, with their moth-often propaganda, we are naively told, is to assist the politician in solving the Negro problem.] "SCIENCE AND THE NATIVES" Lecturing: dr. Johannesburg on Wednesday night Dr. M. S. Fick, psychologist of the Union Department of Mental Hygiene, referred to the highly interesting, and also highly controversial, question of the relative intelligence of natives and Europeans. The results of tests on natives, he said, had been to indicate their inferiority in South Africa just has a similar conclusion had been reached from tests applied in America to the Negro. It had also been found that the native stopped in mental growth at a much earlier age than the average white man. "These statements are definite, but it is obvious from a further passage of Dr. Fick's address that much research work has still to be done. It is possible," he states, "to argue that the intelligence of the native differs RICHARD E. WARNER, A STATE GOVERNMENT IN THE C. GARVEY, ARRESTED O To Answer Charge of Conspir Agents to "Shake Do $7,500 Bail—Evidence vestigation by Prohibiti Richard E. Warner, of 145 West 142d street, who earned the execration of Negroes three and a half years ago by his star performances as a government witness in the trial of the 110n. Marcus Garvey, is in the toils. The fat gentleman (he achieved corpulency not long after being—blessed with a federal appointment as a dry law snopper) is held in $7,500 bail to come up for hearing of the 13th inst. on a dry law graft charge. Whether Mr. Warner's inestimable service, against the cause of Negro freedom will earn him leniency remains to be seen. The discerning will prefer to opine that it will not, since hirclings of Mr. Warner's ilk are never held in any respect by the master. Snooping was never a glorious occupation, anyhow, even though it may have been eminently to the taste of the gentlemen aforementioned. The story of the arrest of Mr. Warner and (two follow conspirators) in as follows: (From the New York Herald Tribune, December 31) Three Negro prohibition agents attached to the staff of Major Chester P. Mills, prohibition administrator, were arrested posturing in Major Mills' office at 1 Park avenue, charged with complying to accept bribes from proprietors of spokeasies. The men were arrested by deputy United States marshals on warrants issued by Commissioner Garrett W. Cotton, which were based upon a complaint made by Assistant United States Attorney J. Edward Lumbard, Jr. The agents are Jezz Harvey, or 64 Horton alone New Rochelle Richard DR. JOHN A.

The difference is important, and the inference which may be drawn is that further testing under expert guidance must be conducted before educational policy can be seriously changed. At the same time, experience and common sense would seem largely to support another of Dr. Flick's conclusions. 'Our intelligence tests,' he remarked, 'correlate highly with the ability to get on in school, and the native does badly in these tests. This surely indicates that we must provide the native with a different type of school.' "Many people have for years urged that the natives should not be educated along European lines, and the intelligence tests, so far as we have gone, appear, if we may judge from Dr. Flick's observations, to favor their view. For that reason it is to be hoped that the scientists will continue their researches. The problem, is one of vital concern, and any light which can be thrown upon it must be to South Africa's advantage. In fact, science can do a great deal, to assist the politicians to solve the whole native question."

Warrier, of 145 West 142d street, and Joshua Dickson, of 49 West 135th street. After the arrest, which was made at 11 o'clock in the morning, the man were arranged before Commissioner Cotter and held in $7,500 ball each for a hearing on January 13. In the afternoon Hyman Cassel, whites, of 2749 University avenue, the Bronx, and Arthur Briggs, a Negro, of 49 West 135th street, who lives in the same house as Dickson, appeared before Commissioner Cotter to answer charges of having been the men who collected money for the agents from the appeasakers. They plained not guilty and were held in $6,000 bail each for a hearing on the same day as the others. The avidenon ion which the complaint against the man was based was obtained as the result of an investigation instigated by Major Mills. "There are probably a number of grafting agents in the Prohibition Department who have never been caught," said Milla Mills yesterday. "Speak-onies are not the only gritting of crooked agents. The grafters go after legitimate permit holders inleg. In the case of speak-onies the money is paid for protection. But legitimate permit holders may pay a fine agents for possible favors in the future, or in the fear that the agents will make themselves unpleasant if they are not paid burles. "We are getting rid of each person just as soon as we discover them, but I again wont to warn all legitimate permit holders to notify the department as soon as any agent attempts to shake them down for any money." 135th St. Library Notes The first "Book Evening" of the New Year will be held at the 135th Street Library Thursday, January 4 at 8:33 Mrs. May Lamborton Becky critic on the "Fairing Review of Literature," will speak on "The Art of the Detective Story."

U.S. OCCUPATION IN NICARAGUA NOTLY ASSAILED Senators Borah and Wheeler Say Marines Are in Republic at Rest of Bankers - Action Callett Comio Opera and Violation of Constitution WASHINGTON, Dec. 28. -- Senator Burton K. Wheeler, of Montana, announced tonight that unless American marines were withdrawn at once from Nicaragua he would introduce a resolution in the Senate next week, calling on the Administration to "cause intervention" and withdraw the battleships, from Nicaragua waters and forces from Nicaraguan soil. Senator Wheeler in a statement scored the action of the Administration severely and intimated American banking interests were back, of what has been done. Senator Bornh; after a conference with Secretary Kellogg, issued a statement once more opposing intervention and calling for removal of American forces from Nicaragua as soon as it can be ascertained that American life and property are safe. Meantime, intimations are given that this government will soon withdraw its forces, but these are officially depleted. "I am wondering whether Secretary Kellogg has become so interested with the Gilbert and Sullivan fever that is now sweeping the country that he is going to stage an American version of "The Pirates of Penzance" on the little state of Nicaragua. "The actions of the Administration in its dealings with the Central American republic is either opera bourge or else it is a shameful tragedy. It is evident that the people of the world are either going to laugh at us or curse us. "I am ignorant of whom the master of the show is. Some believe it is the snooksmaker of the White House, while others claim it is the Secretary of State. At all events, I propose to find out whether the Senate of the United States approves the actions of the Administration in its attempt to bully the people of Nicaragua by the use of our marines and gunboats into accepting a government foisted upon them contrary to the provisions of their own constitution, and in my humble judgment, in connivances with one or two American bankers. "Unless the American marines are withdrawn from Nicaragua, I shall introduce a resolution in the Senate immediately upon its convening, calling upon the Administration to cease its intervention there and to withdraw our battleships from Nicaragua waters and our marines from their soil. They are there, in violation of the Constitution of the United States. They are there in violation of the principles upon which this government was founded. They are there upon the filmry protest, according to the spokesman of the White House, to protect American property and American lives. Someone has sold they were there to protect the American continent from the spread of Bolshieism. "Only those simple-minded souls who still believe in a Santa Claus can be fooled by such hypocrisy." In Senator Borah's statement he said the government should be "vigilant against being tricked into intervention" and he favored withdrawal of forces as soon as it could be ascertained that Americans were reasonably safe. Senator Borah was asked whether he had reason to believe there would be an early withdrawal of American forces. He would not predict that, but he indicated that he saw signs of the government policy being modified. He made it plain he did not look for intervention by this government. He said: "On the heels of the denial today by the State Department that the government was maintaining a censorship over communications to and from Nicaragua, Dr. T. S. Vaca, Sacasía's representative here, gave out a statement in which he cited specific instances of the refusal of the Postal Telegraph Company to accept his messages." MEXICAN PAPER DENOUNCES J. L. S. IN CENTRAL AMERICA MEXICO CITY, Dec. 20.—"Who is the heralded American respect for the rights of small nations?" "Execlolon" asks, authoritatively today in a vitrificio article filled with sargasm dealing with the landing of marines in Nicaragua, in which Woodrow Wilson and President Coblidge are equally assailed. The statements of the article are accepted in some circles here as expressing the omal views on the attitude of the United States in Central America. The article declares: "Wilson, that master of hypocrisy and peridly, declared war on the central European powers to defend the rights of smaller nations. The world then accalmed him as the redeemer of humanity, as he lifted the United States to its great power and made it the richest nation in the world, for which 50,000 Americans were killed in Europe." Then Mr. Coulidge depleted on p. "Turtlenail model man who chants Christmas carols, is said to have declared that the United States champions the rights of small nations.

From, Many Parts of the World to Be Represented (From the South African Worker) In the middle of January, 1927, a conference of all colonial-oppressed people will be held at Brussels, Belgium. The conference will be of first-rate international importance. Not only will it be the first conference of its kind, and have representatives from nearly all the colonies and semi-colonies from all over the world, but it will be the first step towards bringing nearer to realization the aim of the labour movement of the whole world, namely, the bringing about of unity between the oppressed workers of the colonies and the oppressed workers of the imperialist countries. Nationalist revolutionary organizations from all over the world will participate in the conference, but the basis of the conference will no doubt be the colonial trade unions. World-Wide Support The countries at present menaced by imperialist attacks were the first to support the conference. The national government of Canton, the government of Mexico and the governments of other countries threatened by imperialist invasion have declared their willingness to support the conference and will send delegates, to it. Besides these the provisional committee of the conference has received about 400 endorsements from labor and progressive parties all over the world. There will also be representatives from the national committee of Syria, the Koumintang party of China, the professors of the Canton, Peking and Shanghai universities, the Nationalist parties of Egypt and Soudan, the Nationalist parties of the Dutch East Indian, American Anti-Imperialist League, the American Negro, Labor Congress, the Hindustan Gadar Party, and others. The All-India Trade Union Congress, the Mexican Trade Union Congress, the Chinese Trade Union Congress, the British Trade Uniones, and it is hoped the South African Trades Union Congress, the Industrial and Commercial Workers' union of Africa, and other South African organizations of oppressed peoples will be represented. Colour Bar to Be Discussed A provisional agenda has already been fixed, and amongst the chief points to be deliberated upon, are (3) Reports on the oppression of the imperialist powers in the colonies and semi-colonies; the speakers will be representatives from all oppressed nations; (2) the emancipation movement of the oppressed nations, and its support by labour and progressive organizations in the imperialist countrie (Continued on page 3) Sugar-Coated, Tablets, Rich in Vitamines, Now Taking the Place of Nasty Tasting, Vile Smelling Cod Liver Oil You can feel like a football player "ranin" to go after you jake McCoy's Cod Liver Oil Comp Tablets for 30 days.

RESULTS OF "WHY I AM A GARVEYITE" CONTEST FACE THE FACTS: "SAVING SOULS" Has Taught Negroes to See the Deity in Own Image Dear Editor: I, I am a Garveyite because I am a full-blooded Negro, and the teachings of Garveyism as taught by the great apostle, teacher and founder of the doctrine, the Hon. Marcus Garvey, stand squarely and solidly on the sacred, noble and lefty principles of truth, justice righteousness and liberty for the Negroes of the world, with the great, objective of a national government of Negroes for Negroes and by Negroes on the continent of Africa. 2. I am a Garveyite because Garveyism has completely changed the Negro's conception of his God, as was instilled in his mind by his white taskmasters and has caused him to see and worship God in his own image and true likeness. 3. I am a Garveyite because Garveyism has liberated the mind of the Negro and has taught him to think for himself along lines of industrial, educational, political and racial liberty. 4. I am a Garveyite because Garveyism has aroused the sleeping racial consciousness, racial pride and racial love of Negroes the world over and has given to black men backbone and courage to fight for their just rights. It has taught him to love, honor and protect the sacred virtue of his pure, noble womanhood, even at the cost of his very life. I am a Garveyite because Garveyism has given to the Norwegian of the world the soul, longing and desire for an ideal, viz.: "A government of their own, and a flag of their own, the Red, Block and Green. W. A. DEANE. Philosophy of Garvey Is All-Embracing and Sane Because I am convinced that Garveyism is a sane and righteous philosophy, charged with such vital power, that it has become a living force, influencing and transforming all Negrodom. Because its program is practical, its fundamental principles bedrock, its scope all-embracing, withifications so extensive as to include the Negro in his various cults, beliefs, societies and every conceivable's line of human endeavor. Because it contains and supplies the incentive for greater effort on the part of the Negro. It places him on a level with all other races, instituting in him the principles of self-help and directing him along the road where he will cease to beg, but will demand and claim his God-given rights. Because, it has brought out in bold relief his outstanding features—his virtues and his faults, his weakness and his strength, his lack of race consciousness and his awful need of greater racial comity. He is finding out that very peculiar complex that has always destroyed his efforts and made him the under dog. It has taught him that conserving the interests of the many is paramount to safeguarding those of the few; that to avoid extinction we need a united front—at once. And whereas the Negro has sung other people's anthems, fought their battles and helped to build their empires, and commonwealths, Garvoyism has taught him to direct such energy into channels of service which shall redound with credit to his own. And he is responding. Behold the evolution of the New Negro! L. P. RATTRAY. Progrose 33, Camaycue, Cuba. Disgusted with System That Regards Him as a Child Dear Editor: I am a Garveyite because it is my unwavering belief that Garveyism, and Garveyism alone, means the ultimate emancipation of this oppressed race of our, the inestable resilibration of our God-given country—African, and the greatest Christian civilization the world has ever seen. Because I know more about myself, the world and its inhabitants since I accepted Garveyism, eight years ago, than I know from all the teachings of twenty-four years previous. Because I am well aware of the fact that so-called Western civilization, in spite of its teachings, is bent completely over to the maintenance of its superiority myth and its own preservation, and to the destruction of all so-called "inferior races" through a universal system of misrepresentation, injustice, economic strangulation, exploitation, oppression and scientific extermination. Because I am sincerely disgusted with and willing to separate myself from a system that refuses to regard me as a man created by the same common father of humanity. Because I am willing and determined to assist in the work of creating a government of our own in which I shall have the fullest opportunity to demonstrate my equality to that of any other man living. And, because I regard Garvaism in the same sense that hundreds of millions of East Indians regard Mohammedanism, the Chiefo Confucianism and Christians, Christianity. J. MILTON BATSON. 128 W. 128th st. New York, N. Y. I am a Garveyite, because he has taught me race consciousness, something I had lost for more than 300 years. He has given me a new and lofty viewpoint to quicken my imagination. He has taught me that there is no height to which I cannot aspire if I would depend on the God-given power of my mind, body and soul. He has taught me that I have a lineage of which I may be proud. He has taught me that there is no reason why I should remain a slave because my forefathers were. He has taught me to know myself as the Divine Creator intended I should; that I can be a Rockefeller, a Carnegie, a Henry Ford, a Lloyd George, or a Calvin Coolidge. I know that I cannot rise to such heights in a country where I form part of the minority; therefore, I must-center my mind on the continent of Africa, where I form part of the majority; there I'll rise to the height of my ambition, so that when the flags of the various nations are being unfurled I shall see the banner of the Red, Black and Green, the flag that has been given us by our leader, Marcus Garvey, the flag which signifies that the 400,000,000 Negroes whom the nations of civilization have for centuries rejected have at last become the headstone in the corner. Because of these and many more reasons I am a Garveyite. JOSEPH LLOYD. Victoria de Las Tunas, Oriente, Cuba. Has Revolutionized the Thought of Negroes Everywhere Dear Editor: "Why I am a Garveyite." Because, like the Honorable Marous Garvey, I am specially interested in the general improvement of my race, first and always, and because Garveyism teaches among many other invaluable racial ideals, on which the continuous existence, success, prosperity and independence of all races chiefly depend, the following: Individual and racial respect generally, the basis of racial improvement and recognition. The value of thought and how to think properly in conjunction with our learning; because thought is the seed of action. Unity, thrift and proper reasoning, which are the dominant elements of general achievement; so that we can better understand ourselves individually, as well as collectively, and conveniently develop sufficient and substantial resources for ourselves. Independence, ambitiousness and progressiveness supported by fearlessness, perseverance and determination; the element which, if we fail to exercise persistently, will result in our general and utter degradation temporally and spiritually. General development educationally, mentally, morally, physically, industrially, economically, commercially, financially, socially, politically and nationally, for the attainment of racial and general prominence. The practical and fundamental principles of Christianity and religious worshipping, on which our spiritual welfare can reasonably depend, and which are worthy of imitation. And most important of all Africa for the Africans, and ways and means to redeem Africa, our motherland, where and only where, we will obtain opportunities to show our real racial value, worship our God the right way, and make general conditions more suitable for us to live under. MRS. BEATRICE WRIGHT. 210 West 140th Street, New York City, N. Y. White Man in Paris Literally "Scared Blue" PARIS.—The case of a man literally "scared blue" is absorbing the attention of the Paris medical world. After a shuck the man, who is of a nervous temperament, turned blue all over. . . He is being studied by leading dermatologists and psychologists. There appears to be no hope of restoring him to his normal bus. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JANUARY 8. 1927 Mr. Joseph Lloyd, of Victoria de Las Tunas, Oriente, Cuba, and Mr. Victor G. Cohen, of Washington, D. C., Are the Winners The Negro World desires to thank the hundreds of members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association who, by sending in letters in the "Why I Am a Garveyite" contest, helped to make it the outstanding success it was. The judges, Dr. E. Elliott Rawlins, physician; Mr. J. Bradshaw Thorne, attorney, and Mrs. Amy Jacques-Garvey, wife of the esteemed President-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, are also deserving of our heartfelt thanks and appreciation for the painstaking manner in which they performed their duties of deciding upon the successful competitors. It was no sinecure to select two letters from the dozens that came with every mail to The Negro World office over a period of three months. They report that Mr. Joseph Lloyd, of Cuba, winner of the first prize of $25, was their unanimous choice, while the second prize of $10 went to Mr. Victor Cohen, of Washington, D. C., one judge preferring the letter of Mr. W. H. Pearson, of Newport News, Va. The photographs of the winners will be published in a subsequent issue of The Negro World. The original letters in the contest have been sent to the Hon. Marcus Garvey at the Federal Prison, Atlanta, Georgia. I am a Garveyite because Garveyism has filled for me that asking void which the world could never fill. I am a Garveyite because from my youth I always felt a longing after something, an actual groping in the dark after something—I know not what—something I felt my race lacked to put it on the stand with other races. But I could never say what it was until our esteemed leader came upon the scene about seven years ago with his program of "Africa for the Afrians, those at home and those abroad." Then, I found that what my race lacked to put it on the stand with other races of the world is a government. And so I became a Galvexite, then and there, and I intend to be one to the end of my life, with the hope of doing whatever I can in helping to bring about the realization of a powerful Negro government on the continent of Africa, strong enough to protect the entire face of Negroes throughout the world. In short, I am a Garveyite because the program of the University Negro Improvement Association, with its motto of one God, one aim, one destiny, founded by the Mon, Marcus Garvey, has aroused in me the spirit of race-consciousness as no other force could have done. For those and other reasons I am a Garveyite. An Honor and Privilege to Be Follower of Marcus Garvey From a child I have presented the contemptible theory of white superiority, and the so-called stigma of black inferiority. My first acquaintance with the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association convinced me of the tremendous significance to our race, the adoption of its principles would mean. It was the movement and ideal that I had long waited for. For years I have contended that the black man's relief rested in his own hands and the solution of the race problem must begin with him and end with his oppressors. I consider Hon. Marcus Garvey the greatest emancipator of the age, because he has taught the Negro to be fearless, and to break loose the shackles of mental slavery—the worst bondage known to mankind. I believe the Hon Marcus Garvey to be the greatest statesman in the world today, because he is endeavoring to bring real world peace to unthinkable through Equity, Justice and Love. I know that Hon. Marcus Garvey is the greatest leader in the world today, because he has succeeded in arousing members of his race 9,000 miles away, in defiance of the so-called domination and power of the European nations, and has accomplished this marvelous feat though circumvented and encumbered by malignant traitors and fearful enemies of his own race. And I most regenerously consider identification, or association, with such a distinguished and outstanding character, a most honable and signal privilege. Finally, Garveyism means Life to the Negro—its absence Death. ARTHUR S. GRAY. 1015 Adeline St., Oakland, Cal. I am a Garvoyite because ever since the chain of Alavery was broken there has been a race problem in this country. We have had Negro Senators to help make laws. We have had many loaders, such as the Hon. Frederic Douglas, Hon. Booker T. Washington and others and nothing has been brought to us to solve this race problem, but the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and the doctrine of Garvoyism. I am a Garveyite because he has taught me race purity. He has taught me that all men were created equal, and that all races and nations should have their own independent government. I am a Garveyite because he has awakened me to race consciousness, has taught me race pride and has taught me what other races and nations have done, we also can do. I am a Garveyite because it taught me that there is one way, and one way only, in which this race problem can be solved, and that is we must bring about unity of action among the entire Negro people of the world. We must draw together four scattered and divided forces into one gigantic organization and act as one solid body all over the world for the amelioration and ultimate amancipation of the race. The Universal Negro Improvement Association and the dogma of Garveyism is the only solution for this race problem. And, more, I am a Garveyite because he is the greatest and most uncompromising leader this race has ever produced. Has Given Us a Flag The Red, the Black Dear Editor: I am a Garveyite because, as a citizen, I realize that the rights and privileges that go along with citizenship and which would make my life happy, are denied me. I am a Garveyite because I am ostracized, discriminated against, segregated and Jim-crowded. I am a Garveyite because the Universal Negro Improvement Association promises the things that my soul longs for—liberty and emancipation in the purist sense, with a standard that we all can be proud of. I am a Carveyite because he has given us a flag, the Red, Black and Green—the only flag representing the Negro peoples of the world. A flag that we can live for in time of peace and enjoy all citizenship of a government of our own. Ha hag given me thencepope of a colony which will give us protection and which we will defend with all of our manhood and valour. Since we get little or no protection from the laws of aliens, where we happen to be domiciled, I realize that the only way to accomplish what we desire is to unify in one great body and put over the program, so that we may give ourselves protection. This is why I am a Carveyite, praying and striving a help to accomplish this—our only hope and salvation as a people. I am a Carveyite and I am proud of it. 2813. Hunter street, Los Angeles, Cal. Prior to the advent of the Honorable Marcus Garvey, race pride and race consciousness, were a dormant factor among us. We had no idea of the potential power of organization. Very few of us knew anything of the ancient luminaries of our race, nor had taken any special interest in Negro history. We were satisfied with the leadership of an alien race. Today the new Negro has imbibed a new psychology through the advent of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. He is made to see himself as he really is—the equal of any other race, having the, same kind of grey matter in his head by which he can develop himself and become not only a great nation in his homeland, Africa, but a powerful political group wherever he may reside. Marcus Gayvoy has caused us to seriously restudy the past, plan in the present and look into the future with great expectations. By taking us back to the origin of civilization and impressing on our minds the undeniable truth in regard to the seemingly insurmountable obstacles which other races had to overcome in order to arrive at their present status, he has caused us to resolve that if they can fight their way from savagery to world power and freedom we also can do the same. He has demonstrated to the world that the Negro is capable of following his own elected Leader, regardless of what others may say. This is why I am a Garveyite. VICTOR G. COHEN. 1816 12th St. Washington, D. C. Wants a Monument to Love, Honor and Justice Dear Editor: Being an honored member of the Negro race, which is numbed among the darker peoples of the world. I believe in the principles of Garveyism because its spirituality has stirred me to reach heights undermined of before. I believe in nationhood for Negroes and see in its realization the end of oppression and slavery for my race. The U. N. I. A has roused the Negro from his lethargy and robed him in the garment of preparedness. Having been born in Jim South, it is natural for me to be opposed to jimmyism, disfranchisement and segregation; but since making Garveyism my study I am now fully convinced that these pillars of white supremacy are leading the Negro to the path that leads to racial consciousness and black supremacy in Mother Africa. Garvoyism has taught him what means to be a Negro and the prerog that must be paid for being an allon in another man's civilization. I believe in the leadership of Marcus Garvey because "Christ declared that there was ONE coming after Him that shall do greater things for suffering humanity. I am a Garveyoil because I want to assist in raising up the greatest monument, that could ever be erected to the progenitors of any race; a monument in honor of suffering, love and justice. Such a monument I spy in a free and redefined Africa. I never know what the words life, Afren, world, rake and future meant to the until I embraced the teachings of Garveyism. It teaches the Negro to know himself. No man who doesn't know where he came from known where he is going. Garveyism teaches the Negro where he came from, that's knowledge; it points him to the goal before him, that's Vision Without knowledge and vision life is a burning hell. Those who come into possession of them have found Heaven. Yes, I'm a Garveyite, and you can write it in the Negrena for all the world to see AURELIA AULSTON HAYNES 1701 Cowell Street, Pittsburgh, Pa. Courage a Necessary Element for Success Courage in yours for the asking. All you have to do is to hollow it, claim it and use it. To succeed in business believe that it will be successful, assert that it is successful and work like a heaver to make it so. Difficulties soon motivate before the courageoun. One man of courage can fire with his spirit a whole army of men, whether it be military or industrial, because courage, like cowardice, is contagious.—Human Culture Digest. Dear Editor, I am a 'Garvoyte'. Because Garvoyte is walking the Negro from his lothargy, telling him 'it he would survive, if he would have his children enjoy the rights and privileges as other races and nations, if he wants his women protected as women of other races are protected, he must got something to protect them with—n. government. Garvoyism has made in, see there will be a day of scramble for bread and blutter, and when that day comes, only the fittest group will survive. ELMER McCLAIN 203 East 22nd Street, Lorain, Ohio. Satisfies and Explains a Longing Felt for Years Dear Editor: Iver since boyhood I have felt a lack of something. I have been deserving for real equality in the different environments of life. I pondered from time to time, but it was not until the Hon. Marcus Garvey brought to us this noble program which revived my languishing thoughts that I realized what I had been longing for. Garvoyism is based upon a strong foundation and real principle firm as a rock. It carries opportunity, activity, benefit, incentive, intelligence, knowledge and progress to every corner of God's green earth. Garvoyism is based upon a Christian principle. Garvoyism has equated me to be more patriotic than I had ever been before. I am a Garvoyite for Hon. Marcus Garvoy is the man who first sought the true salvation and glory of the Negro race by acquiring a country of our own. I am a Garvoyite for the observance of Garvoyism is the practice of the moral precepts as designed by the Creator who wills not that the Negro should perish, but that he shall live, and Africa shall be redeemed from the hands of the oppressors. I am a Garveyite for Garveyism teaches me the accomplishment of an ideal. We are working to make things turn out to our advantage. The less we dwell upon the past the closer we will get to the golden fruit of Africa's redemption. I am a Garveyite because Hon. Marcus Garvey for nearly ten years has been fighting for Negro rights. His name has become a household word in many ways. His veracity has no limit. He is an extorminary man and one of the world's greatest philanthropists. I am a Garveyite because Garveyism teaches that a man, no matter to what race he belongs, has always the same psychological possibilities. C. A. REID. Stego Do Avila, Câmaguey, Cuba. Has Taught Her to Serve Her God in the Right Way Dean Kutter: Because the light of a new day has dawned within me, that light is the teachings of Marcus Garvey. It has act me thinking and longing for the things that have been denied me. Since the landing of our forefathers in this country we have been taught by allon races to worship the Holy Father in another world, unseen by human eyes, and to give full of our earnings to the God of heaven in order to enter into His kingdom. But I'm proud to say today that Garveyism has purged it out of my mind, and I've learned to serve the right God in the right way. Garveyism represents the most advanced thought in Negro affairs today and this is one of the many reasons why I am a Garveyist. Many Negroes have tried to solve the race problem through education and religious co-operation, but failed. Why? Because they had the wrong education and were taught the wrong religion. The problem, therefore, was too titanic for their weak brains. The Hon. Marcus Garvey has found the only source of solving the Negro race problem. It is that source that makes itself manifest in the idealism of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. I am a Garveyist, and proud of it, because Garveyism is a vision brought into action by the brain of a black man. LOUIS J. EDWARDS. 1701 Colwell Street, Pittsburgh, Pa. FACE THE FACTS: "SAVING SOULS" OF LITTLE HELP William Ware, of Cincinnati, Laments False Teachings of Race. Leaders—Wrong Conception of God and Heaven Inculcated—Time to Prepare to Live BY WILLIAM WARE The time has come when races and nations of the world must face facts. Ministers have told us for the past sixty years that the truth must be told, and that the truth will set you free. So I am trying to bring the truth to the people of my race. Negro ministers for the past sixty years have been holding revival meetings, saying, that they are saving souls. There is not a minister or any other human being that can save the soul of any man or woman. That is God's business, and that is what He sent His Son Jesus to do. The thing for man to do, in order to please God, is to take care of the body, clothes the body properly, eat foods that are nourishing, take sufficient rest and exercise, and be honest with his fellow man. The Negro has imitated the white man, in every way except the right way. He has imitated him in color, he has imitated him in religion, he has imitated the white man in culture, customs, and morals, he has imitated the white man in character and in reputation, but only about five percent of the race in this country has imitated the white man in wealth, and in using his knowledge in exercising his ability given him from creation. The white man builds million dollar skyscrapers; he buits into freight stations $40,000,000; he buills $37,000,000 passenger stations. The white man looks forward a million years, and prepares for that day and the future generation of his race. The average Negro is born on Monday, and on Wednesday he is making ready to leave this world. He places a quarter of a million dollars into some place where he goes to get ready, for heaven. In the city of Cincinnati there are about $2,000,000 worth of colored churches and church property. It would take an expert accountant to count the number of churches. The ministers in those churches are being paid from $1,000 to $4,800 by year. Now, friends, that is entirely too much money to put into churches and to pay ministers for the little returns you receive from religion. If you want to go to heaven, first, you must live right; second, you must take care of your bodies; third, you must treat your fellow men right. You do not have to build $225,000 manSIONs and pay pastors enormous salaries to tell you how to get to heaven. There are many colored men here in the city of Cincinnati who have money. If these men are what they pretend to be it seems to me that they would pool their moneys and build factories and the like so as to be in a position to employ some of the young girls and boys that are graduating from college and university. Think, friends, with all the money there so-called leaders in the city of Cincinnati have. Negroes of Cincinnati have not a factory to make even a toothpick. Everything he has and wants he has to depend upon the white man for. There are a few who buy real estate and say they are helping the race, but they are only robbing the race by charging high rents for delapidated houses. These few leaders of the race have the nerve to criticize the white real estate dealer while he has the same attitude toward the poor Negro that the white man has toward the Negro. If the doctor, the lawyer, the minister, and the school teacher, and all educated men, and women, of our race would try to educate the masses of Negroes, then this terrible condition which confronts us would soon be eliminated. Our people would soon begin to think for themselves. The reason why this race of ours has not the proper reputation in this country that we ought to have is because the white man has been so successful in using the educated ones of our race to an advantage in keeping the common people down. The selfishness which exists among the educated ones of our race is causing the entire race to suffer to a great extent. Loyalty of the Negro Think how loyal the Negro has been to this country and its flag! The Negro has played his part in every walk of life. He has shed his blood in every war of this country to find today that his race is not given proper recognition by the government of this country. The Negro is not even counted as a citizen of the United States of America. In some states he is allowed the privilege to exercise his vote. In time of war he is recognized as a citizen, otherwise he is counted as nothing. The Negro in America is lynched, and burned, he is segregated even in God's Church. I wonder if the white man has ever stopped to think of the fact that more than 800 years ago he brought the Negro to this country against his will, and worked him as a slave for more than 500 years. In 1865 something took place which, was called the Transcipation of the Negro race. The Negro was released from the shack of The Universal Negro Improvement Association advocates the uniting and blending of all Negroes into one strong, healthy race. It is against miscegenation and race suicide. It believes that the Negro race is as good as any other, and therefore should be as proud of itself as others do. It believes in the purity of the Negro race and the purity of the white race. It is against rich blacks marrying poor whites. It is against rich or poor whites taking advantage of Negro women. It believes in the spiritual Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man. It believes in the social and political physical separation of peoples to the extent that they promote their own ideals and civilization, with the privilege of trading and doing business with each other. It believes in the promotion of a strong and powerful Negro nation in Africa. UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION MARCUS GARVEY, Founder and President-General WHEN WHITE PERSONS ARE MOBBED N those Slates where mob law most generally prevails no provisions have ever been made for dealing with mobocrats who lynch white persons, the presumption being that white persons would never mob white persons. Mob law grew and flourished with the understanding that Negroes only were to be its victims, the theory, being that law and legal process were made for white persons and was too good for Negroes. That fiction still figures largely in mob psychology. But time and changed conditions, and the growth of white criminal class which does not respect color at all in carrying out its desperate purposes, are gradually undermining and making of no moment the former condition of things. The white mob has turned on white offenders so often of late as to make it plain that the law will not tolerate the mobbing of white persons. The law will wink at the mobbing of white persons. This is all right, because in the end the principle will triumph that the law will not wink at the mobbing of either white or black persons. It is bound to work out that way because there is no other logical way, for it to work out and save civil government from functioning properly, and that point was reached many years ago in many States which are beginning to see and reform the error of their ways. Down in Coffee county, Georgia, a white man murdered a female relative as the best way of keeping peace in the family, perhaps, but his white neighbors did not regard the matter as he did, and so formed themselves into a mob and lynched him. The judge of the circuit had a backbone and got the grand jury busy on the case, and indicted nine of the mobocrats, one of them a Georgia colonel, and the judge sentenced them to varying terms of imprisonment, the good colonel getting a life sentence. The nine were much surprised, as they were not looking for any such outcome. The governor of Georgia has offered a reward of $1,000, to which the grand dragon of the Ku Klux Klan has added $500; for the apprehension and conviction of members of the mob who in Toombs county kidnapped and unmercifully beat Wimberly E. Brown of Lyons, an attorney, because he took part in prosecuting members of a mob who lynched a white man last July. A special term of the grand jury has been ordered for the third Monday in January. This is all as it should be but not as it has been. If Georgia has turned against the mob it has a better day before it. TWO YOUNG WOMEN STUDENTS OF LIBERTY UNIVERSITY LIBERTY UNIVERSITY on the James River has just begun its existence as a distinct school for Negro young people, in which they may learn something about themselves and their race, and about Africa, their Motherland, which they could not learn in other race schools, nor in the white schools open to them, because such things are not taught them in those schools. To be taught that the Negro has as many rights as any other racial group and that he needs a country and flag of his own in order to make effective his rights, is something new in Negro education. It has, however, taken root in the United States and in Africa, and it is bound to grow in favor with the Negro people everywhere. The establishment of Liberty University by the Universal Negro Improvement Association, therefore, was a necessary thing to do, and having done it it is the business of the members of the association to see to it that the university has all of the money and all the students it needs properly to function. The success of Liberty University will be an inspiration to Negro people in all lands. The members gathered in Liberty Hall Sunday night, December 26, were made glad and inspired by the presence of the first two students to enroll at Liberty University. They were both from New York city and were perfectly at home in Liberty Hall. And they are highly intelligent young women. They know what Liberty University stands for and what they are attending it as students to secure for themselves. That will prove to be more than half their victory. The young students are Miss Genevieve Baker and Miss Roma. When called upon they made brief but eloquent addresses in glorification of Marcus Garvey and Liberty University. They talked like young people who appreciate the great opportunity given them to get such an education as they desire, and they left the pleasing impression that when they secure the education in the usual course they will make the most of it to promote the best interests of the Negro race. That is the spirit which we desire each young person who seeks an education at Liberty University shall carry into his student work and his work when he shall graduate and face the problems of life. May Liberty University grow in strength and usefulness with the coming and going of the years. T. THOMAS PORTUNE Editor MARCUS GARVEY Managing Editor NORTON G. G.

HOLD UP THE HANDS OF THE HIGH EXECUTIVE COUNCIL WE have had ringing appeals from President-General Marcus Garvey and from Acting President-General Fred A. Toote and the High Executive Council for a close-up of the ranks by the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and for renewed determination to carry forward the work of the association during the year 1927. There can be no retreat, we are told, and we all feel that there can be none. We must go forward to the high calling which is in Marcus Garvey and the Universal Negro Improvement Association. Others may do as they will; with their unbelief in organization and definite program of race development and conservation of race resources, but the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association have been educated to look at the matter the other way, and they are obligated to the sacred work of making effective the vital principles which they have adopted as their own, to save and protect the rights and interests of the race for the advantage and benefit of the race, and they will prove true to their principles, because it has become a habit with them to do so. In his open letter published in the last issue of The Negro World, Acting President-General Fred A. Toote, among other things, stated the case eloquently in the following paragraph: 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. Now, then, hold up the hands of the High Executive Council as we go along in the year 1927, as by so doing we shall hold up our own hands and the hands of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and the hands of the Negro people everywhere. It is a good and glorious work. NATIONAL BANK PLANNED FOR LIBERIA MR. OSCAR HUDSON, who alleges that he is Liberian consul at San Francisco, according to several newspaper references we have seen concerning him, has just returned from Liberia, with the announcement that "the Liberian government is sponsoring a national bank, capitalized at a million dollars, 20 per cent. of which will be subscribed by the Liberian government and 40 per cent. will be offered to American Negroes." What becomes of the remaining 40 per cent. of the capitalization Mr. Hudson does not appear to have stated. Perhaps it will be offered to Liberian citizens, and, then, it may be held in reserve by the promoters, who, if they should possibly be members of the government, would with the 20 per cent. taken by the government, make 60 per cent. of the stock. If that is the way the cat will jump, why did not Mr. Hudson say so? It is natural that the promoters should want to control a voting majority of the stock of the bank, but the promoters of the bank are not named by Mr. Hudson. Who are they? Negroes in the United States who are expected to subscribe 40 per cent of the stock of a Liberian bank sponsored by the Liberian government will have to be shown who controls the 40 per cent of stock unaccounted for. If it is to be controlled by the members of the government, it is not the expectation that they will pay for it but accept it in payment for their good offices. If this should turn out to be the case is would leave only 60 per cent. of the capital stock to be purchased at its face value, and on the face of it it is not worth anything. If the people of Liberia have not in nearly a century of existence been rich enough to establish a bank, the question arises, are they rich enough to do so now? Evidently they are not, as they export the American Negro to subscribe for 40 per cent. of the stock. Farm Loan Mortgages WASHINGTON, Dec. 91.—Colored farmers will be interested in the information that the Federal Farm Loan Board has ruled that while a farmer borrower has no legal right to pay off his mortgage within five years from the date of execution, the acceptance of such payment is not prohibited to either Federal or joint stock land banks, where unforeseen circumstances arise, making it to the interest of the borrower to pay. Should a land bank accept such payment, it may collect from the borrower such a sum as will reimburse the bank for the expense of making the loan. C P. B. We take the position that we do in this matter because we have no great deal of confidence in the present government of Liberia. In their dealings with the Universal Negro Improvement Association they have been very high handed and arbitrary, and in their concessions of rubber and other land rights to the Firestone Rubber Company, we feel that they have betrayed the best interests of the people of Liberia and of the Negro race, because they have practically placed themselves into the hands of an American corporation which already dictates the policy of the government as far as selecting the American diplomatic and fiscal agents are concerned. The Liberian-Bank loan will bear a lot of watching, with the little information about it we now have. Justices Share in $174,000,000 Refund WASHINGTON, Dec. 28 — Justices of the United States Supreme Court shared in the $174,000,000 Federal refund of taxes illegally collected, it was announced today. The refund payments included sums to Chief Justice William H. Taft, $84-798, Justices Geo. H. Sutherland, $84-488, Placer Butler, $8.801; Edward T. Sanford, $1.721. Federal judges throughout the country received refunds as a result of a court decision last year holding that their salaries were not taxable. SOUTH AFRICAN NATIVES WORKED AS SLAVES IN THE GOLD MINES Labor Member, of Parliament Does Some Plain Speaking Says No Country- Can Endure Built Up On Slave System Describes Horrors From the Rand Daily Mail, Johannesburg, November 19 Mr. W.J.

"I have been wondering all along what was the real object of this visit to the mines and why it was that we members of Parliament and editors of newspapers were taken up there and placed in the Carillon Hotel and treated like lords and dukes," he told. "I have wondered exactly what we were wanted for whether we were invited because they loved us or yet there was not something else. This morning the most article on the gold mining industry in the Cape Times, in my opinion, gives the real reason why members of Parliament and editors of newspapers were brought together to visit the mines. At the present time there are lots of things in the air. There is a government in power today which says that an industry must exist on a civilized basis. The time has passed when an industry can exist on slave labor. "Even today, with all the improvements that have occurred, the gold mining industry rests on a foundation of what is nothing more nor less than slave labor—black labor. They are not free men at all; they are not men; they have no rights at all. Men who work on the mines simply have duties to perform. I have gone to the Government Areas mine right underground, and I found down there a raw native lying on his back four or five thousand feet below, holding the great drill boring a hole through the hard rock and getting ready for the blasting with white miners supervising. "I have heard a lot of talk about white miners not doing any work. I did not see any white men loading in the mines up there. They have all to work hard, even if it is only supervising the native. They have to provide the brains, and the natives supply the manual force." Feeding of the Natives After the natives had done their hard day's work, the speaker added, they went to their compounds; they were supposed to be free men. He saw them line up for their food; they passed a window and a man stood with a spade. As they come up with a tin he took the spade and shot off a great lump of mealie meal, or whatever it was, and flopped it into the dish. (Laughter.) "That is the foundation on which the gold-mining industry is led," proceeded Mr. Snow. "It is a pretty rotten foundation. When people start talking about the flag and things of that kind we have to remember that no country can become great which is built up on such a rotten foundation as that." "Today the final article in the Cape Times gives the show away. In effect it says that what is wanted is for the trade unions to stop their agitation and the Labor Party to stop talking about this thing. Their attitude is: 'We want all the restrictions removed; get as many natives in as you can to get the gold out of the ground, and let the rest of the country go to the deuce. Trade unions and the Labor Party will never, as long as they have any breath left in them, give way and allow this state of affaire." Step to "Slave System". We have got to a certain pass now, and this country is going to be built up on a civilized basis. We are going to put a stop to this slave system. "That is the real reason," the speaker continued, "why we men were invited by the Chambor of Mines—because they want to do justices, they like with the industry; get their labor where they like, and let the rest of the country go hang. The Labor Party is not going to allow that. We shall see to the bitter end. We shall see to that the flag stands for freedom of labor and the freedom of the people who will live in South Africa long after the millionaires have departed." Mr. Snow said that he would tell them more about his tour next week. Before speaking of the gold mining industry Mr. Snow referred to Johannesburg and the coal industry. Johannesburg, he said, was a wonder city. Yet almost within a stone's throw of its magnificent city hall it had slums as bad as anything he had seen in Whitechapel or in any town in England. Johannesburg, with all its fine buildings and its wonderful layout, the member declared, rested on a pretty rotten foundation. Indians, Aboriginals, Test the Alien Laws WASHINGTON. Dec. 28.—Th. optional American—the Indian today protested to the United States Government that he should not beFGarded as an alien. At the instance of the Council of the Six Nations, the most venerable and noted governing body of North American Indians, an attempt to resist the application of the Immigration Law to the continent's aboriginal population was commenced. It follows the Labor Department's order to deport Paul Diabo, an Ironoqui Indian of the Coughanawa Reservation, Quebec Province, Canada, from the United States after he had obtained an ironworker's job in Philadelphia. The Federal courts will be asked to reinstate the right of the Indiana to pass the boundary line between the United States and Canada as freely as their forefathers, in a test case on Diabo's exclusion. You will be what you will to be; Let failure find its false content In that poor word, "environment." But spirit scorns it, and is free. It masters time, it conquers space. It cows that boastful trickster, cha And bids the tyrant Circumstance Ungrown, and fill a servant's place. The human will, that force unseen; The offspring of a deathless soul, Can hew a way to any goal, Though walls of granite intervene. Be not impatient in delay, But wait as one who understands, When spirit rises, and commands; The gods are ready to obey. HEALTH TOPICS The days of the community drinking, cup should long ago have become urtishing of the past. But now and then we see places where one cup or glass is used by every member of the family, or any one who decides he would like a drink" as he passes by it. This custom is one which should be condemned and discontinued. It is a dangerous and unhygienic practice. Diseases are likely to be transmitted from one person to another in this manner, and a great deal of slickness may occur for this reason. Today when health rules and ways to keep healthy, are so widely known we should expect everyone to remember not to use a cup or glass which other people have used before it has been thoroughly washed. Long ago, Marco Polo, the famous traveler, said that the natives of India did not use common drinking vessels, even in the thirteenth century. Writing of his travels, he said: "... they drink out of a particular kind of vessel, and each individual from his own, never making use of the drinking pot of another person." Many of us can still learn a lesson from Marco Pole's writings. Do not use a drinking cup or glass that another person has used. Be certain that all drinking cups are thoroughly washed after they are used. President Sees Prosperous 1927—Few Are Idle Secretary Davis Says President Sees Prosperous 1927—Few Are Idle Secretary Davis Says From The New York World WASHINGTON, Dec. 28—President Coolidge feels the year 1929 has been satisfactory to business from virtually every standpoint, and draws near its end with prosperity still running at high tide. His review of conditions, given out through a spokesman, carefully avoided a forecast of what may be expected in 1927, but it was obvious that the President detects no sign of a slump. Business formed a topic at the cabinet meeting this morning, with Secretary of Labor Davis reporting increased opportunity for employment, particularly in New York and New England. The country is well provided with capital, skilled labor, and raw materials the spokesman said, Mr. Coolidge thinks people generally—are receiving good incomes and are willing to make expenditures that call for more production. Nobody can tell when conditions may change, the spokesman said, recalling that at the close of last year, there was an impression that a business slump was just around the corner, but it didn't appear. The President finds much satisfaction in the fact that manufacturing is moving along at more than the ordinary rate and the railroads are receiving large incomes. Fundamentally, the President believes, the country is in a sound condition. The man of courage overcomes the trials and temptations of life; he commands success; he renders sound judgment; he develops personal influence and a forceful character and often becomes the mentor of the community which he serves—Human Culture Digest. EDITORIAL OPINION OF THE NEGRO PRESS Time and science are going to give the Negro his rightful place in the civilization of the world, and the effort now being programmed to defeat him of what justice and history entitled him to will fall of its purpose because of its own wickedness.-Atlanta Independent. A great success is made up of a lot of little ones. The man who fills a position of honor and trust has allied many smaller positions of trust. The man who has charge of ten thousand men has had charge of many small squads; and before he had charge of a small squad he first had charge of himself.-St. Paul Echo. By fattory and other methods we are easily divided and conquered. We are thwarted in putting over large programs or securing those things which we are entitled. We have got to stop being fooled. We have got to be united. All our weakness lies in discord, all our strength is in our union. -Omaha Monitor. So the year ends, just like a life onds. A year seems short; a life is short, and we must crowd a lot into that life if we expect to leave for portory something that will make the world a little better. If we are going to leave something behind pleasant memories, we must of necessity render Don't Beat Around the Bush With What You Have to Say If you have anything to tell me, say it. Don't beat around the bush and prepare me for my news, or otherwise break it gently. A young man called to see me the other day and asked if he could have ten minutes of my time. I refilled that he could on two conditions—that he spend the first five minutes telling me what he wanted me to do; then he could take the other five minutes and explain why he wanted me to do it. I don't like to have people prepare me for things. I don't want anything led up to. I am quickly adjustable, and whatever may be your pews I can soon arrange my affairs to receive it. For people to think they must lead up to things or they must get me first in the proper mood to hear what they have to say is an impeachment of my intelligence. I am already in the proper mood. I am ready to hear your news. So out with it, no matter what it may be. This thing of preparing people to receive news recalls the story of an Irishman. An Irishman was killed in a mine disaster. As they were bringing home his body they deputed Mike, one of his fellows, to break the news to his widow. Mike went on ahead and when he met the widow at the door of her house he said: "Does the Widow McCann live here?" "No," she replied. "I am Mrs. McCann and my husband is a miner." "Like the dickens he is," said Mike. "Walt 'till you see what they're bringing up the steps." This is a good example of "breaking it gently." The fact is that the experienced mind can adapt itself quicker to anything else than to mystery. Whatever the bad news may be, we can digest it in time, but one thing we cannot stand is to be kept in the dark. New Path to Sleep Rests in Ten Words NEW HAVEN, Conn. Dec. 29. Suggestion as a path to sleep, calm and restful, may often be found in tin words; each to be thought of in its full-cleaning, says the Rev. Dr. Charles R. Brown, dean of Yale Diversity School. He has used the formula himself and through it many times had ended wakefulness. Each word should be thought of slowly and separately until restlessness disappears and the subject is mentally in harmony with the meaning of these words, which in order are quietly, easily, restfully, trustfully, patiently, sorenely, peacefully, joyously, courageously, confidently. Colored Population Outgrows White TARBORO, N. C., Dec. 31. According to a report made by W. H. Pittman, Superintendent of Schools in Edgecombe county, the rural Negro population in Edgecombe county is increasing more than twice as rapidly as the rural white population. This is in contrast to a number of rural districts in Georgia, Florida and Alabama, in which the Negro farm and rural population is becoming almost "threadbare." C. P.

S. E. RANGUBRE, Ropbrter. Two enthusiastic mass meetings were held in Liberty Hall on Sunday, December 26, at which time the members, and friends vigorously protested against the continued imprisonment of the Hon. Marus Garvey. The program at 3:30 p. m. was typical of the spirit of Garveyism as the audience vociferously applauded the various 'spartans'. The Hon. S. A. Haynes, president, bravely outlined the historic events leading up to the persecution of our leader. He called upon every man and woman of color throughout the world to so acquire themselves that three have so acquire Mr. Garvoy in prison that he would hold Mr. Garvoy in prison no further desire to keep him there. Mr. W. H. Abington, second vice-president, and Mr. A. E. Sinigal of the Legions were loud in their denunciations of the methods employed to keep the race enslaved. The address of the evening was delivered by Mr. William Attam, a native of West Coast, Africa. The speaker, who has traveled extensively on the West Coast told of the methods used there by white missionaries to exploit the land and keep the natives in ignorance of the truth. He allotted much enclosure when he said that he was, inapted to come to the United States because the white missionary for whom he worked as an interpreter told him that if he would come here he would see Christ and his white angels, walking the streets. For one solid hour Mr. Attam eloquently defended the principles of garvayism, rapped the hypocrisy of missionaries going to Africa with a Bible in one hand and a gun in the other, and beseeched those who hold Garvay bound to set him freg, or pay the penalty in Africa. The division sent Christmas greetings and a small purse to the received in Return a beautiful Christmas gift, inscribed, as well as a message by telegraph.

Fisher, both of whom lauded the accomplishments of the association under the guidance of the Hon. Marcus Garvey. Mr. Fisher said that there can be no Christmas for the Negro so long as Marcus Garvey was behind prison bars. The president confined his address to the great immediate necessity of financing the parent body and so 'enable them' to carry out the bigger program. He made a passionate plan for the united co-operation of all. Several pledges were received for the New York Liberty Hall. The choir under Mrs. Willey Johnson gave a fascinating Japanese entertainment on Thursday, December 23, in aid of the building fund. On Christmas Eve the juveniles had a joyous time at a Christmas tree party given for them by the Rev. Zebedee Green and other officers.

The Juveniles then formed a jersey with the colors in the center, and performed the "Wind-mill" in slow marching while the arist was filled with the music of "Auld Lung Bye," the last exercise was that of the "Counter-march." Mma. DoMpith then addressed the parade and expressed her pleasure of being here, and gave many encouraging words to the boys and girls and their parents. The hymn 'God Bless Our President'; was sung, and the audience was asked to stand to attention in respect to the President's Hymn 'while Cs. D. Johnson, second vice president, accompanied on the plane. The officer commanding called upon the parade to give three cheers for Mma. DoMena, and three hearty cheers for the Executive Officers in America and the Hon. Marous Garvey. Lady DoMena then took her pince before the flag and saluted it while the parade ended with the singing of the Ethiopian Anthem and the flag went down the red, dipping colors. The R. B.

If the white men would stop for a minute to think, he would not treat the black man as he is now freeing him. U. N. I. A. Misrepresented The white man should not become offended because the black man is now trying to protect himself. Marus Garvey Has been misunderstood among Negroes more than any other human being in the world. The Universal Negro Improvement Association has been misrepresented to the people. Marus Garvey is a prophet sent by God. The reason why the politicians, ministers and professors have fought Mr. Garvey so hard is because he has indulged to open the eyes of the community to justice. Today the same condition that exists in France, Italy and Russia would exist in America if the poor white man did not feel himself a little better than the Negro. If they ever decide to link up, the condition in America will be the same as that in Europe. White man, do not think for once that the American Negro is plotting against you. The American Negro has proven himself a friend to you, but you have not proven yourself a friend to him. You pass a law in some of your states that a black man can be burned and lynched and the federal law cannot do anything about it. You state that national laws cannot interfere with state laws. But let me tell you, this God that the Negro is serving is going to show to the white man that he is not satisfied with the laws that he, the white man, is executing and the injustices which he is heaping upon the Negro-race. If the white man of America expects to say himself, he must take a new attitude toward the Negro. The Negro of this Western world is beginning to think for himself. The only big mistake he has made in the past is in building such large churches and paying the ministers such enormous salaries, for nothing. Sorry to say, but some of these ministers have been working hand in hand with the enemies of the race by keeping his followers' minds in Heaven. That is not God's teaching. The Unnatural Negro Improvement Administration is trying to prepare the black man for what is coming. The world is far fermented and the clash is sure to come. We must be ready.

BROOKLYN MILITARY CENTER FOR MILITARY ADMINISTRATION OUR WOMEN and WHAT THEY THINK-Edited by Mrs. Amy Jacques Garvey "MAN'S INHUMANITY TO MAN" A FEW days ago we were attracted to an advertisement appearing in the New York Times, with headlines as follows: "Mass-meeting to protest against anti-Jewish excesses in Rumania," and listed among the speakers was Judge Julian W. Mack, who needs no introduction to our readers, he being the star in the final act of the farce, "Garvey Must Go!" Fate plays peculiar pranks with us poor mortals, for while the good judge is holding mass meetings and protesting against outrages on his people in Rumania, Negroes the world over are holding mass meetings and protesting against his imprisonment of their leader, Marcus Garvey. He is appealing "to enlightened public opinion of the world to stay the hand of Rumania," while Negroes plead to white America for justice and fairplay to their persecuted leader. There are 16,000,000 Jews in the world, and 400,000,000 Negroes. Both groups are persecuted wanderers without the protection of a government of their own, no flag and no aeroplanes. Yet the Jews are better treated than Negroes in all countries, because they control big finances and are large producers, while Negroes are poor consumers, dependent on other races for employment. However, during the last World War the Jews woke up to the fact that they needed a national homeland to give them prestige and protection. So they emerged from the conflict with the plum, "Palestine for the Jews." Since 1920 through the Zionist movement they have invested something like $15,000,000 in Palestine, and are bending every effort to make it truly a home for the oppressed Jews of the world. We may state here that Judge Mack is an ardent Zionist, in other words he believes that his people should become a national unit. In 1917 Negroes, too, caught the echo of the cry for self-determination for weaker peoples. Through their inspired leader, Marcus Garvey, they rallied to his slogan of "Africa for the Africans, those at home and those abroad." And for this laudable undertaking he has been ridiculed and persecuted by ignorant Negroes and selfish whites, resulting in his imprisonment. Even the erstwhile persecuted Jew of Eastern Europe becomes an one hundred per cent. American and adds his share to the misery of the Negro by hampering his nationalistic program. But opposition of Jews and Gentiles to African redemption will not stop it, because nationalism is what they are also striving for, so why shouldn't the Negro, the second largest race group in the world, also strive to get this permanent cure for all his ills. Isn't he a human being, with feelings, hopes and ambitions like white and yellow people? Why should he remain the servant of all men? Is he not one of God's masterpieces, and therefore arbiter of his own destiny? All honest and fair-minded person's will laud the Negro's efforts to work out his own salvation along national lines, and while they do nothing to help us, yet we thank them for leaving us stone. Negroes tried to run ships and were put out of business mainly by Jews, but fate again stepped in and when Jews tried to run their Palestine line, they failed. The only difference was that a Jewish district attorney prosecuted the Negro leader, and a Jewish judge sentenced him, but there was no Negro district attorney or judge or any action taken against the Jewish leader. The Palestine line failed—that's all. The rest is a closed book. While Jews and Negroes work for their respective homelands, pogroms in Europe and lynchings in America continue to take their toll; yet in the face of all this, the Jew is heartless enough to persecute the Negro. How does the honorable Jewish judge feel when he asks Almighty God to save his people from Rumanian outrages, knowing that one word from his own lips would bring joy to the hearts of millions of Negroes, and that word he refuses to utter. No, says he, let Marcus Garvey remain in prison. So let it be, says "To each his sufferings: all are Condemned alike to groan; The tender for another's pain, The unfeeling for his own."

THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JANUARY 8, 1927 TIME TO RENEW OLD RESOLUTIONS TIME TO RENEW OLD RESOLUTIONS Forget the Past Mistakes and Earnestly Begin Again Somebody in a split of forgivable cynicism, has written the following: "Whereas I know how fickle is my moral constitution, she it resolved; on this New Year I'll make no resolution." Start Again With New Courage. Everyone has read the poem—beautiful enough in a sentimental way—which expresses the wish that there could be “a land of beginning again.” There is a time and a place of beginning again. Beginning all over again—beginning, not something new, not something that happens to be the vogue, but forgetting the past with all its blunders and errors and discouragements, and beginning with new courage, fresh hope and firm determination to Live life earnestly, honestly, profitably, cheerfully and lovingly. Not only the new year, but every new day is a new chance. This fact is the most eloquent proof of the mercy and patience and lenency of a loving God. No matter what the number or nature of the blunders of December 31, 1828, if on January 1, 1927, you behold your mistakes as many and grievous, are sorry for them and resolve to do better in the future, you may be sure that you have the entire co-operation of Heaven and the angels in your new attitude of mind and soul. Pleasing God Things is probably nothing so pleasing to the Infinita as the sight of a trawl moot taking fresh hope and courage and resolving to try yet again. The farmer trying to be more industrious, trying to build up his land and make it more productive; trying to be a still better provider, a more considerate husband, a more lenient and comrade-like father; the housewife trying to be more patient, more considerate with husband; more playful and congenial with the children—all this sort of trying, this beginning again; this renewing of old resolutions and good intentions is most clean and most beautiful even in the estimation of the gods. Many a modest soul is forever chiding himself for what he has failed id do, when all the while his, Good Angel is continuously recording those things that some modest soul is trying so hard to do. Let us return forvent thanks for this one fact; That there is a time and place for beginning again. Then let us forget the mistakes of the past days and weeks and years, and let us reilly, earnestly, cheerly, bravely begin again.—Household Journal.

The United States has just finished one of the most prosperous years of its history—a year of high marks in domestic and foreign commerce, high wages and small amount of unemployment, no labor troubles of national importance, and few distractions except murder mysteries and minor smarlings about the effects of prohibition. If these, conditions were general over the world they would not seem so unequal to us, but the fact is that we alone—among all nations, have abounded in prosperity. Great Britain is beset with worries over the decline of her commerce her industrialism, her prosperity; France is struggling to make her franc worth more than paper; Russia still feels the effects of her revolution; China is torn by civil war; Japan must worry about additional room for a rapidly expanding population; Italy is struggling to regain health and prosperity—all the nations of the world; large and small, have their troubles; we stand alone in a period of abundant prosperity—a giant among nations.—World's Work Magazine. Scientific Germany Expanding Today Germany is again extending her markets, largely because of continued leadership in research. This leadership is not the result of superior mental endowment; it is the result of superior support given to German scientists. Whatever chemical engineering has the strongest support. in the next decade, there the greatest achievements are likely to come in conserving heat, preventing epidemics, calling forth fertilizers from the air, putting the sun's rays to work, possibly taking gold out of the sea. Chemclents are constantly discovering new methods, as a result of which old factories are scrapped overnight.—W. T. Foster. Past and Present Flappers "In the old-days the girls, used to ask whether it was proper to go buggy-riding with the boys as they ask now whether they are cheapening themselves by going out joyfully, in automobiles.

"The only difference is that the girls are much more canid nowadays."—Dorothy Dix. Lovely Woman, Be a Goddess Woman, you are the divine gift to mankind—a gift which man seldom knows how to glorify; a gift which man often abuses and, yea, defiles. You are the divine gift with whom God has blessed man . . . about whose origin Genesis has recorded a phantom allegory, that the Creator made you from the sib of a man. No! God created you as a statue in flesh and moulded you with His infinite skill as the most perfect being of His making.

Believe in Yourself Believe in Yourself If I could give but three words of advice on the subject of success, I think they would be: "Belleva in Yourself"—not with a milk-and-water faith, but with a belief which knows no discouragement, a confidence which cannot be shaken. Achievement is largely a matter of faith in oneself. It is only those people who thoroughly believe in themselves and in their mission who bring out anything like the maximum of their ability. Distrusting our judgment, not depending upon it, not feeling able to decide anything of importance without others' help, continually seeking outside opinions and influence, is fatal to all originality, to all leadership.—Dr. O.

NELSON'S HAIR DRESSING OCCIDENTAL IDEAS ENTER JAPAN'S STAGE By ADACHJ KINNOSUKE A recent contribution to the Shakespeare Memorial Theatre fund came from benefit performances of "Carolianus" given at the Tokio Imperial Theatre by admirers of Shakespearean drama among the actors and actresses of Japan. Shakespeare played on the boards of a great Tokio theatre, and by Japanese artists is a striking illustration of the influence the Occidental drama has gained in the face of the old stage of Nippon. Unbelievable though it may seem, Ibsen and Bernard Shaw as well as Shakespeare are no strangers to the Tokio theatres. In October, 1922, "Arms and the Man" was presented at the Imperial Theatre and received both critical and popular approval. Shakespearean dramas have achieved the dignity of tradition. Koshiro, who has been hailed by many European critics as the greatest among living Japanese notors, played the title role in "Jillus Cassar" at the Kabukusa Theatre not no long ago. And Ibsen has been presented on the Japanese stage times without number through such favorites as "A Doll House," and "Ghosts." There is scarcely one of our leading actresses who has not been, starred as Nora—from Miss Mori, Japan's pioneer actress, to Miss Mizutani, upon whom spotlights are centered just now. Movie Actress Sent to Hollywood Miss Mizutani has just returned from the United States, where she had been sent by the Cinema League of Western Japan to study the art and the developments of the photoplay in its native home at Hollywood. Her work will undoubtedly have a far-reaching effect, for she is considered by many as the one particular star among the younger actresses, of the empire. Movies, more than anything else, mothered the popular demand for a new school of dramatic art in Japan. It is no exagregation at all to say that the phenomenal triumphs of the Sawahso troupe and other artists are due largely to the missionary work of the silver screen. Cheaper Movia Plays The movie taught Japan's theatre-goers that they could see a play full of thrills and action in two or three hours. That was something utterly new to them. To see an old-fashioned Kabuki play they go to the theatre at 1 P. M. and stay until 10:30 that night. They take their family dinners along with them and eat them there. Nine and a half hours of dissipation now is too much of a. good thing for increasing numbers of Japanese. It touches their pocketbooks also. A nine-and-a-half-hour entertainment costs from two and a half to five yen. No manager could afford to give such a long program for less. The movie costs them about one-quarter that amount. And a new style legitimate play in four or five nots, taking less than three hours in the evening, is being given to the public at about one-half to one-third the BEAUTIFIER BEAUTIFIER Apply it like any ordinary cold cream and watch your skin become gradually clearer, salty, rather and, store all, good looking. This is the skin you want. Your skin will never grow. Don't delay! Every day counts against you! If you are in a cold room and you can't get the best coupon and send the cash with it. price of the old Kabuki entertainment. When the Japanese, awoke last to this fact, their demand for the new-style play, was insistent. It does not call for a prophet to see that the triumph of Occidental dramatic art, its technique and its ideal, on the Nippon stage is no passing fad. It is as permanent as it is profound. Puritanical Consors Another proof of the Occidental influence on Japanese drama is the reentrance of women players on the popular stage. For centuries the feminine roles on the Kabuki stage were played by "onnagata," male impersonators of women. That was as strange as it was unnatural, for the Kabuki was founded by a woman. Okuni was her name, a sacred dancer at the great shrine of Izumo. But no Puritans in or out of history were quite so puritanical as the official censors under Isemitsu, the famous third Tokugawa Shogun. In 1630, in the frenzy of moral purity, they prohibited women, young or old, to appear on the stage. Since then, for about 280 years, Japanese women were as extinct as the dodo in the world behind the footlights. It was entirely and directly due to the Occidental example and influence that in 1908 the Imperial Theatre calls for a certain number of young women applicants to be trained for the stage. Tokyo society lifted its eyebrows in a rather high and ugly angle. It was so shockingly revolutionary! When the now famous Miss Mori Kikuko 'answered' the call and entered the training course at the Imperial she was cut by all her schoolmates of the Atomik High School, from which she had just been graduated. Regal Patronage But Miss Mori and fourteen other pioneer girls who joined her made a brilliant entry and still more brilliant progress on the stage. When the Prince of Wales visited Japan in 1922, they were an established institution in the theatrical world, and Miss Mori played the leading role of Hanako in the classic play of "Doofi" for the entertainment of the help to the British throne. The Prince Regent of Japan accompanied the Prince of Wales to the Imperial Theatre as host. This was the first dramatic performance ever witnessed by a reigning Prince of Nippon in all the country's twenty-five centuries of history. For since the days of the gods, theatrical performances had been considered a low form of amusement and no gentlemen, let alone a Prince of the blood, permitted themselves to be seen visiting a theatre. The performance in which Miss Mori starred, literally opened a new epoch for the stage of Japan. A veal pal will have quite a company air it made as follows: Use a shank or some ribs of veal—about a pound, of meat—and cook it until tender in three pints of water with half a pound of fat heat, half a pound of fresh ham, one onion, two peppercorns, a blade of mace and a dash of nutmeg, cut, into, pieces. Lima a deep dish with pastry and place the veal in it, together with half a dozen small potatoes and an equal volume of button mushrooms. Reduce the stock to a pint, season it with a tablespoon each of flour and butter, salt and pepper to taste, then cover with a thick top crust. TRANSVAAL NATIVE WOMEN PROTEST AGAINST POLL TAX (From The Johannesburg Star) PORT ELIZABETH, Nov. 13.—Curious scenes were again witnessed today when a body of native women approached the chief magistrate to reiterate their former representations against the poll tax. Singing harmoniously the women, led by a small woman in heating time with a baton, walked in orderly array through the main thoroughfare of the city to the court house. At Queen Victoria's status in Market Square a halt was called and pointing to the statue, the women bowed their heads in prayer undisturbed by the passing traffic. Many of the women broke into sobs as their leader proceeded with her supplication. Three of their members intervened, the magistrate, who sympathetically advised them that the tax must be paid.—Reuter. How to Make Others Love You Be scaught after and admired. Exert magn- influence.

FIGUEROA, Editor La unificación de la notencialidad de nuestra raza en pro de la consolidación de una nacionalidad africana—La esperanza de un futuro mas brillante para nuestro ele- mento conciente y progresista—Perspectiva de la or- ganización en la realización de grandes empresas durante este nuevo año Miembros de la organización y de la raza en general: Con la venida del nuevo año de 1927, hemos de poner en juego todas nuestras actividades universalmente, con el sano propósito de llevar a la realización un programa que como puéblo nos afecta directamente y el cual indispensablemente ha de redundar en beneficio, no solo a esa generación actual sino también a nuestras generaciones venideras. Como una inspiración, abrigamos grandes esperanzas en la congregación de nuestra fuerza industrial, cientifca y educativa la cual será un gran factor en el progreso y en la estabilidad de una república africana. Bajo este punto de vista nuestro elemento conciente y progresista reconcentra toda su mente y estriba toda su ambición con una determiación invulnerable. Aquí como en otros puntos de este nuevo mundo, hemos yenido preparándonos por largo tiempo con el objeto de poder rendir tales servicios. Inconcienteemente tal vez hemos laborado y padeido por mas de trescientos años, asimilándonos una civilización de mérito y de progreso, la cual hemos de poner en uso en pro del desarrollo y del enaltecimiento de nuestra propia patria. Porqué entonces no unificar nuestras fuerzas con tal proposís? En todos los centros docentes y en todos los campos de la industria, hemos de convocar a nuestros hombres y a nuestros mujeres para que rindan sus grandes servicios. Sabido, es que existe un número de los tal llamados intellectuales de la raza, quienes combaten la idea de una nación africana de primer orden; pero ellos tarde o temprano llegarán a la conclusión de que el programa de esta organización, es el único medio que resolverá el problema de nuestro pueblo. Cual es la razon para que nosotros no poseamos una patria progresista y prospera en agricultura, industria, comercio y educación? Porqué no podemos nosotros, cuatrocientos millones, unir nuestras fuerzas y hacer de ella una de las naciones ejemplares del universo? De nuevo en el palenque apelamos a la determinación y a la ambición de los millones que profesan la fe en la Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra, para que laborando de comun acuerdo podamos llevar a vias realizables, este grande y noble ideal. Esta institución aspira a que el elemento industrioso y económico de nuestro pueblo, se prepare para su establecimiento en el continente africano; que enbole allí su estandarte de emancipación, implantando una nación con gobierno ejemplar y asistiendo de ese modo para que nuestro pueblo obtenga el puesto que le corresponde en el gran concerto de las razas y de las naciones. Aportando todos y cada uno la cooperación consiguiente al programa de esta organización, podemos llevar a la realización grandes empresas, durante el año que acaba de iniciarse. Cada uno de los miembros y adeptos a la causa puede ayudar, respondiendo al toque de llamada cooperativo y adelantando se esa manera el tiempo del exito de su ideal, lo cual muchos consideran actualmente como una mera aventura infundada. El tiempo será su mejor testigo. El programa de nuestra organización comprende en si todas las fases de los grandes problemas que nos afrontan, e indudablemente todos tarde o temprano hemos de tomar gran interes en ponerlo en práctica, para satisfacción nuestra y para beneficio de nuestras generaciones futuras. Dicho programa tiende al desarrollo tanto industrial como educativo de nuestro pueblo; anhela la reconquista y el disfrute de todos y cada uno de los derechos y privilegios inculcados; aspira a hacer del nuestro un pueblo floreciente y capacitado para gobernarse a sí mismo. Todo esto significa progreso, determina satisfacción. No desperdiciemos, por consigulente, ningun instante ni oportunidad alguna. Continuemos firmente en nuestra marcha por el recto sendero hacia la emancipación de una raza por siglos y siglos avejada y hacia la redención de una parla explotada por los enemigos de la libertad humana. Para llevar a cabo tales realizaciones, he de repetir, no esperemos ayuda o protección de los extranjos. Nuestros propios esfuerzos y nuestra propia determinación serán los únicos recursos disponibles para la consecución de nuestras aspiraciones de enaltecimiento. Con el mejor deseo por vuestra éxito, tengo el honor de ser Vuestro obediente servidor, MARCUS GARVEY, Fundador y Presidente General. THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JANUARY 8, 1927 Laboremos por la libertad de nuestro presidente 'general Como una regla instituida, era de esperarse que el presidente de la nación ejerciara su poder para commutar penas de encarcaçación durante las recientes festividades, ya que nuestro leader, el Hon. Marcus Garvey, fuera uno de los que recibiera la clemencia del ejecuto. Pero el presidente en esta ocasión se abstuvo de ejerciar tal poder. El tendra su razones las cuales no hemos de discutir; pero el o no nos priva el que estemos hoy apesadumbrados, cuando a la liberación de nuestro leader concierre. Com mas razon debemos laborar por la adquisición de su perdon, durante el transcurso del año ante nosotros, luego de no habere concedido este, o cual tan anisiosamente esperabamos. Es el propósito determinado y la unión en la lucha an objeto, o que es capaz de trasladar montañas. Estos estamos bien bencen-trados de ello; pero no siempre ponemos en practica aquello que bien sabemos, fracasando en la realización de nuestros desesos por nuestra falta de persistencia. En sus números antígenes, el Negro World publico una series de artículos bajo el titulo de "Cinco razones por la cuales el Hom. Marcus Garvey debe ser puesto en libertad," escriritos estos por la Sra. Fero. V. Revees, brillante redactora del Negro World y una de las periódistas más inteligentes de la raza. Los cinco puntos discutidos por la Sra. Reeves fueron los siguientes: 1 El no he hecho ningun mal, 2 La continución de su encarcelamiento nada realiza. 3 El ha sido ya mas quis castigado. 4 Su influencia es de gran ayuda. 5 La opinión pública, esta en favor de su libertad. Estas cinco razones fuepon presentadas en un alto grado de simpatia por su autorla la Sra. Reeves, las cuas ha denobado ser tomados en consideración por todos y especialmente por aquelos con autoridad, al hacer referencia de los chos presentados en el proceso del caso, en el cual so amente uno de los cargos en contra de nuestro leader, fue considerado por el aeto de una forzata imaginación, y numa debio ser admitido ni contado en record. La justicia opera en ciertas ocasiones de una manera extraña, para no ser siempre entendida; y el modo como un jurado determine un caso, depende de los multiples puntos de vista que siempre confunden a los más inteligentes. Tal.hue el objeto en el caso del Hon. Marcus Garvey. En él no hubo verdadera evidencia para culpar porque no existió la evidencia para detraudar. Laboremos, sin embargo, como lo hemos hecho en el pasado, y con mas ahíjico aun en el presente, por la liberación de nuestro presidente general y para restaurarle a la gran obra de la Asociación 'Universal para el Ade.ante de la Raza Negra. Tentativas de linchamiento Los esfuerzos que venla haciendose para trasladar de la cañcer del condado de Delaware a tres prisioneros, de la raza han sido suspendidos por la niejusierada oposición del procurador de distrito. Los prisioneros se halan bajo la custodia de cien soldados, como resultado de los rumores corridos de que se preparaba el linchamiento, de los detenidos. En la audiencia concedida por el juez a soicitud del jefe de policía, que quería trasladar los presos a otra carcel; que offreciera mayor seguridad, el procurador discutió, opionidose a tal acción, alegando que podría ofrecer tareas técnica contra la ejecución de uno de los detenidos. El culpó al gobernador que envíe las tropas a custodiar la carcel, de haber causado el peligro en que se hallaban los detenidos. El procurador dijep que el gobernador debía de haber fijado a la fecha de la ejecución de los dos hombres hace días ya y haber ordenado el-traspaso de los prisioneros a la penitenciaria del oeste in Rockyville, la única prisión en Pennsylvania donde las ejecuciones se llevan a cabo. La demora del gobernador motivó las amenazas de linchamiento rechididos. Los prisioneros son: Ollie Strickland, contesas asesino de la juvenile diez y echo años de edad Emily Collins, de Lynwood, y se ha pendiente de juicio, y Amos Wilson y Walter Webbensentenciones nor el asesinato de l'oven Walter Harden el varano nado. Floorencurador dito el trasnaso de los dos segentes a una malentencaria ea ieral y oue el trasnario de que sererba lució solo resutada ileral sino que levantar un comisión hacia el acnso antes de ser presentado en juicio. El juez anuncil que oiría nuevos gumentos sobre el caso. Renovemos el esfuerzo en la labor de la organización De frente a la entrada de un nuevo año con todas sus grandes esperanzas, debe ser el deso. de cada uno de los miembros de esta organización, renovar todos sus esufzeros en pro de su magna obra. Con la mayoría de estos el es una-cuestion de norma, pues estan mas que ligados al movimiento y a su abor. Hay indudablemente una gran satisfacción personal, sobre este hecho, y la reedificación del esufzero hacia la obfa en cuestion, lo hace más preciso aún. Una gran asociación es una institución en si; ocupa un puesto de por si propio. La sociedad-contemporanea es regida por asociaciones de una u otra naturalezale. La vida social, civil y económica del mundo hídria, dia, lo cual llamados civilización; se halla bajo el regimen asociatiz de un grupo mayor de menor de personas, para l'evar a la realización todo aquelo que-crean en beneficio propio. Fodos nosotros conocemos muy bien los fines de la Asociación Universal para el Adolanto de la Raza Negra. Sus primipios dimanaron de una mente preclara y han tenido un efecto immediato sobre el negro en todas partes, porque ellos patrocinan el establecimiento de una nación para el negro en Africa, en donde su valor, social, civil y económico sea reconelido y pueda aprovecharse de las grandes oportunidades, que para si mismo se cree en su propio medio ambiente. Es aduejo de si mismo todo aquel, que no espera a que las oportunidades sean creadas, sino que crea las suyas propias y las de sus relacionados por igual. El indica el camino recto doquiera se encuentre. Nuestra raza niecesa mayor número de hombres y mujeres de ese calibre. Otros grupos y razas los cuentan en gran número, mientras que la nuestra los tiene au en una infima cantidad. Doquiera se manifeste el aumento en esta clase de elemento, existirran grandes esperanzas. Nuestra raza cuenta con muchas razones sobre e. particular, porque simp emente empieza ya a discurrir, a expresarse y a actuar por si misma, debida esta a la expresión adquirida en el curso de las títulos decadas. Nuestro elemento en general debe seguir al píe de la leta el cielo como una cuestion de principe, así como también como una cuestion que afecta directamente sus intereses generales. Educación social de la mujer Decir mujer es provocar un sin número de ideas belas. La bela está identificada con la mujer y a su vez esta es la laima fuel sacerdótua del cuito. de lo belo· Pero si la sola presencia de la mujer indica belleza, es necesario también que, cultivando el sentimiento estético, innato y poderoso en la mayoría, y auxiliandose con una vasta instrucción, refine sus gustos con el objeto de presentar antes .os asombrabados ojos de los demás el espectaculo siempre agradable de una belleza elegante y de un minucioso cuidad en todos los deta les para producir a impresión de una obra maestra, ya sea en el arreglo de su persona, de su hogar en en otras multimples manifestaciones que seria largo repetir aquí. Quizá parezca extrato que diga que es necesario enseñar a nuestras niñas y a nuestras jóvenes a vestir con distinción, a paimarse adecuadamente, a hablar a la vez que con elegancia en el lenguaje, con duzar la voz, a laoz, a escoger su vestidos y sombreros y los colores de estos que mejor armonice con su aparientia. Esto, en lo que toca al arreglo personal. En 'o le corresponde al del hogar, quenida podía dejar de reconocer la importancia que tendria e apreciadiera de diversos conocimientos endientes a obter armonia, corrección y elegancia en los interiores? Se podía educar su gusto estético en la e'ección de muebles ancillos y e'egantes y no muy costos, acostumbrandolas a'admirar modelos de la historia del mueble. U un ligero curso de historia del arte les daría a conocer las obras maestras de la pintura, escolultura, arquitectura, etc., a las que tarde o temprano tendrán que recurrir para artísticamente su hogares. Las labores manuales a las que se ha dado tanta importancia y por las cuales se han pópuso tantas cosas rimordialmente uti es, seran también parte de la educación artística femenina. Es innegable que cesitas labores un son factor principalialismo para el adorno de los hogares. Un holo cojim, una cubierta artística, miles y míes de trabios, ya de crujua, ya de repujad, de pirogrado, de pintura, etc., constituyen un agradable a la vez que uti entremiento de toda joven que en las tardes melancólica de enciero torso, en e' rincón, la a ventana, enhebra la cruja con sedas multicolores y enebra al mismo tiempo la aguja de la ilusión con la que bjectua arabesco densuoso. Special Investigator Appeals to Municipal Officers to Demolish Slum Areas and Erect Dwellings Fit for Human Beings—Disease, Vice and Death Lurk in Hovels Unfit for Beasts The Rand Daily Mail of Johannesburg, Transvaal, South Africa, in its issue of November 11, contains the following illuminating article on "Native Crime: Its Causes and Cure." A special investigator paints a harrowing picture of native inten and women huddled together in squalor in slums which beggar description and for which landlords receive fat rents. He pleads with the municipal authorities to abolish the slum areas, and so eradicate death and vice, by a courageous system of finance. The article follows: These were the 'stories' *e*culated years ago. When the IROQUOI 'INDIANS got slit or wounded what did they do to get better?' The team had to grunt, and start on his mission of Mystery into a valley for roots, to a swamp for woods, to a forest for leaves, into the woods for harbors, or to a mountain for other Mysterious plants.

Although the native lawlessness in Johannesburg and along the Witwatersrand has been described in a previous article as, more or less, a revolt against the white man's law, there are certain superficial problems which must be solved if the movement is to be checked. Fleet, and most important, the slum areas must be abolished. It will cost a great deal of money, estimated by a municipal official a little time ago at approximately £1,000,000, but it would be a also expenditure if only from the point of view of public health. There are other considerations, such as improved conditions for the natives and a saving in the cost of polling such areas. In the second place, more recreational facilities must be provided for natives in Johannesburg and along the Beest. Much valuable work in this direction has been done by the mining companies and by various church and social organizations. Reference to these activities will be made in a subsequent article. Take the spring from which arise a very large proportion of the crime and inlawlessness the slum areas. Within 300 yards or so of the headquarters of the Criminal Investigation Department there are slums which, for sheer equal, have no equal in the world. They have been compared with the slums in the East End of London. The settlement is a label on the London slum-dweller. Choose any city in the world—the coole quarters in Bombay and Calcutta, the hideous dents in Melbourne, Chinatown in New York or Honolulu, or the worst area. In Constantinople—and one can point to nothing quite so bad as parts of Feherraustin. Approach Always Signalled It is difficult for a stranger to penetrate these places. Unless all the dwellers are under the influence of one of their poisonous brews, one's approach is always signaled. They have their system of guardians. Even if one happened to be out with a police party, it is the same. The natives always know when a stranger is coming. If it is the police on a liquor raid, attempts are made to pour the police up on them. The police are up to the "tricks of the trade." They are experts in detecting hidden stores of the prohibited boxerguns. It is hardly possible to exaggerate the conditions in these slur quarters. One is not likely to find anything worse for dirt and egalor. Imagine what was formerly a stable yard. Round three slides one room shacks have been created: Some—only a very few—are kept in a tidy state, but the large majority are indiscreetly flirty, places where disease gorms are brod as if by magphe. In some of these shacks six and seven natives, irrespective of sex and marital relationship, gather to drink poisonous concoctions, stuff that wrecks the human system if much of it is consumed, to smoke dogga, and generally to indulge in degrading habits. Food is cooked over a brazier. Doors and windows are closed, until the atmosphere fairly reeks. Raiding parties are unable to get the smell out of their clothes for days. Land!orda Wax-Fat And the landlords wax tat! The rents they collect from the natives who live in those hovels are out of all proportion to the accommodation, and it is stated that one Asiatic landlord, on hearing that a certain munitum officer was in receipt of a salary of £2,000 a year, remarked: "Boot, I mate 100 per cent more than he does." The work of clearing these slum areas is proceeding gradually under the provisions of the Natives (Urban Areas) Act. Since the act came into operation in 1928, the Johannesburg Town Council has spent approximately £50,000 on establishing native locations and barracks for singe men, and between 8,000 and 9,000 natives have been cleared out of the slums and segregated in municipal buildings. As fast as now quarters are provided in the locations they are filled up. But the difficulty is that as soon as one crop of natives are cleared out of the slums another crowd make health authorities have to start all their appearance, and the public over again. A little time ago the W municipal authorities secured a closing order in respect of a tenement building in the neighborhood of Ferreirastown. The premises were put in order—according to sanitary requirements, and were subsequently reopened. But within a few weeks the building was in a very bad condition again, and a second closing order was secured. The only thing to do in a case of this kind is, of course, to apply for a demolition order. *Finance, the Solution* "Do away with the slums, and you will do away with native drunkenness. A prominent police office to make sure public health authorities say." Provide us with the funds and we will quickly do away with the slums." There is the whole problem—financial If the public of Johannesburg desire to serve native ornate and lawlessness curtailed, if they want to see healthy conditions established in this town, they must be prepared to "foot the bill." At the present rate of progress it will be several years before the worst slum areas are abolished. There comes a time when prudent finance must give way to colligious finance. If the Johannesburg Town Council wants to act prudently, it will not clear the slums for many years. But if, on the other hand, the Council desires to render the population a good service. It will act boldly in this matter. If it listens to the advice of expert police officers, it pays any heir to its own health officers, it will strike out courageously for the triple-headed ideal. "Abutilum" slums, abutilum native lawlessness, make Johannesburg healthy." And a grateful people will thank them. PARIS, Dec. 30.—France and Spain will begin discussion of the Tangier problem in the middle of January. The two powers alone cannot change the existing status, but if they agree that changes are desirable further negotiations, with at least Britain included, will be necessary. It is known that Italy intends to claim a share in the administration of Tangier, which would broaden the discussion more than the French and Spanish Governments desired. For these reasons the coming parley will be restricted to a rearrangement of the existing regime. The French already agreed in principle to adaptation to Spanish requirements resulting from the Rifian war, and the conference will undoubtedly confine its work to drafting a bilateral agreement giving Spain greater responsibility in the municipal and customs administration. This will enable Spain to prevent shipments of arms and munitions to the Rifian tribes without infringing on the rights of other powers defined in the 1900 Algeciras treaty. Increased Child:Labor WASHINGTON, Dec. 31—The annual report of the Chief of the Children's Bureau of the U. S. Department of Labor shows that child labor increased in 24 of the 29 large industrial cities. The five cities that reported decreases were, in the order named, Washington, D. C., Louisville, Indianapolis, Chicago and St. Paul. "The largest decrease this past year, 67 per cent in Washington, D. C.," says the report, "followed an amendment to the compulsory school attendance law of the District of Columbia, effective February 4, 1985, which requires a child to remain in school up to the age of 18, unless he has completed the eighth-grade."

"The now "planetarium" in the Zoological Gardens at Berlin has now been opened to the public. It represents a marked advance over the planetarium in the German Museum at Munich in several resoaps. It shows not merely the movements of the heavenly bodies during 24 hours, but it can also show their positions and movements for a period of 20,000 years, or on any day of that period. It thus becomes possible for the spectator to see, for ex-ample, precisely how the Cheops pyramid looked while the Cheops pyramid was being built, or how they will look in the year 22,000 A. D. The planetarium is furthermore adjustable for any latitude. The foreoons are reserved for free presentations for the pupils of the Berlin schools. For the general public there are three presentations daily, at. 6, 8:30 and 9 p. m., each lasting one hour. A similar planetarium is now nearing completion at Manhole. Bill. Nye's. Humor Won Him Federal Job Bill Nye's fine, odd sense of humor prompted Postmaster-General Frank Hatton to cause his appointment as postmaster at Laramie, Wy., in 1882. Hatton telegraphed Nye that he could, suggest the appointed. Nye decided name himself. New Hatton accepted the tip, and carried Nye's letter over to the White House, where it gave President Arthur a good laugh.— "I look," said Nye, "upon the appointment as a great triumph of eternal, truth over error and wrong. It is one of the spoils. I may say, in the nation's onward march toward political purity and perfection." Nye held the office little fore than a year and finding his health affected by the high altitude resigned. His letter of resignation gravely cited his acts in office and he sent to the president the combination of the office safe. "My term of office," he concluded, "would not expire until 1886. I must, therefore, beg pardon for my eccentricity in resigning." Filipino Princess Reverta to Type Manila—Disturbing news comes from Jolo concerning Princess Tarahta Kiram, who was a coed in the University of Illinois with Carmen Aguinaldo, daughter of the Filippine independence leader. Tarahta returned to Manila a very modern girl, with bobbed hair and lipstick 'ideas' about the freedom of woman, and in it Jolo the hero of the war. There were no morality dances, no moontil like yojihits trips, no motoring parties. So it ritualizes the tribal conventions have reclaimed the pretty Tarahta. She no longer keeps her hat, short and agile chefs buy, which has blackened her teeth. Contrary to Moro law, which limit legitimate wives to five, she has be- come the fifth wife of Datu Tahil, who beats no inviable reputation. Thus the daughter of the Eagl, doffing Western culture, has returned to the Eagl with a vengeance. Ear Path N the IROQUISI bit better?

I am more than pleased to send these few words of greeting to The Negro World, the followers of the Honorable Marous Ganay and the supporters of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, of hope that 1827 will see twenty-seven million more Negroes converted to the cause of Africa, demotion and enrolled under the colors of the Red, Black and Green. Negroes should awake, arise and take up their burden and work for the redemption of Africa. Christians of every color are singing "Peace on Earth, Good Will To Toward All Men."

More New Members Is What We Need To the Editor of the Negro World Another year has come and gone and the association still flourishes, stronger than ever with the promise of even greater strength. The new year is with us. It is up to the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association to work together without coaxing to swell the ranks of the organization. There are onlines on all sides of us and we must remember that in numbers, there is strength. Now is the time to get that new member. May God bless the president general, other officers and members of the association during this year. May all of our efforts to build up the organization be attended with success. R. ROGERS Atlantic City, N. J. To the Editor of The Negro World: I solicit the favor of your permission to extend through your columns the season's greetings to my co-workers of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. The year 1826 is ended, and amidst all the struggles that we have undergone, fighting the destroyers of the great cause we represent, we still find ourselves standing firm on Redemption's ground. We have been tossed about by the boisterous waves of our internal enemies, who wanted to sink this honorable and maleficible movement of ours, not thinking that when this ship, the N. U. I. A., sinks, they, too, will go down and be lost in oblivion. I pray that 1926 will carry away all the plots and plans that tend to disrupt the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and that the New Year, 1927, will bring to us joy, gladness and success. Let us put on courage and brighten our zeal to meet the coming of 1927, which we hope will bring nothing but success. Before I close, allow me to extend to you as members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association my sincere wish for a happy and prosperous New Year. Praterally yours for the cause Aficio. ALEX FREDRICK Guantanamo, Cuba. Loyalty to U. N. I. A. To the Editor of The Negro World: Please allow me a little space in your indispensable paper to reaffirm my loyalty to the Hon.

I am an one hundred percent Garveyite and shall remain so for the rest of my days. WILLIAM NICHOLS. 5052 Joaders Street. Labor Conditions in South Africa WASHINGTON, Dec. 31—Over in South Africa drastic laws have been passed to prevent the natives from encroaching upon classes of work which hitherto have been undertaken by Europeans. Because the Nationalist party, which is responsible for these laws, has given the South African Labor party several seats in Parliament and because the white trade unions cannot see any other way of protecting themselves from the ever-advancing native worker, both elements are doing everything they can to retard the industrial program of the natives. In a survey of the labor movement in South Africa, Mr. W. H. Andrews, Secretary of the Trade Union Congress, says in a recent issue of "The Labor Annual" published in Alberta, Canada: "The one thing the present government is ruthlessly and savagely opposed to is any attempt by the native worker to assert himself as a man and as a citizen. Notwithstanding this opposition and the bitter prejudice of white workers, the native workers are organizing on industrial union lines." According to Mr. Andrews, other very drastic laws are under discussion, but whether those revolutionary, proposals can be forced through Parliament in the牙 of the opposition of the native and colored people and a section of the European population, remains to be seen. $500 Reward If I Fail to Grow Hair Hai SPECIAL PRICES TO DRUGGISTS AND AGENTS R.

Watching New York "I am quite certain that not only the Negro people of New York, and especially of our organization, but the members and friends of this organization throughout the world are watching New York City, are watching headquarters; that those hearts are bouting in unison with ours, that they are feeling just as we feel. In Central America and in the West Indies—when speak especially for them, having no recently come from there—they look eagerly for. The Negro World, and when they get the Negro World in their hands they don't stop to eat, drink or sleep until they read everything, especially about the New York Local. Therefore I know when the try for help finds reach Central America, especially British Honduras and Spanish Honduras, that they will immediately send forth means to help us. General American Firm "I can speak, for them. They have stood loyalty by this organization; they have stood by it in trying times, though surrounded by people prejudiced against the organization and against the race; yet they have held firmly to the principles of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and to the Hon. Madame Garvey as our great leader. They are standing there very unitedly, standing there ready to assist, standing, there not only to assist by encouraging words, but to give material help to the New York Local and to the headquarters. They are standing by the present officers of this Association. They have complete confidence that these officers will lead us on to success, and it is for us who are here on the ground, right on the battlefield, to fight and fight our best to win. We must push on. We must do our best, and never stop, but press forward in the great cause of the redemption of our fatherland." (Applause.) Miss Marion Tuckard and Lady President of the Philadelphia Division, was the next speaker. She said: "It is indeed a pleasure for me to be here in this your Sunday meeting and greet you in the name of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. The wonderful spirit that you have exhibited here during my brief stay in New York has indeed filled my heart to the very depths. You have given me new courage to go on in this new year of 1927. You have given me new vision and have made me see the Universal Negro Improvement Association greater than I have seen it in 1926. Síma Spirit Everywhere "The spirit that you have shown here is the self-same spirit that the world over has toward the Universal Negro Improvement Association. In reality they are with us in their hearts, but some are so wicked and weakened and vicious that they are not willing to come out and say they are behind Marcus Garvey. But if the cause of the Universal Negro Improvement Association was not right and just we could not stand up as we have in this battle of trying to save Liberty Hall. You are really soldiers, and I want to congratulate you on your wonderful spirit. That is the spirit that shall carry us on to our motherland; that is the spirit that shall carry us to Africa with the Hon. Marcus Garvey as our leader. Let them say what they will, we shall show to the world that we honor and revive Marcus Garvey, that the lessons he has taught us have been well learnt and that not the forces of hell it shall take Liberty Hall from us. No Compromise "We have no compromise. We have no time for backsliders. If you want to backslide the outside is the place for you. And those who are working against us now, though at times they may appear to be on top, their time is coming, for God is the same God who guides every people, and He is still with us. If He had not been with us, my friends, the story would have been a sad one. He is with us, and He is behind our honorable chieftain, and in this year 1927 we have made one great resolution, and that is that we will stand by and make the Universal Negro Improvement Association felt the whole world over, and if we have to give our lives, before The Bagley System for pattern drafting, also igniting, cutting and fitting nail ladies' outer garments scientifically.

Willing To Pay "We love to pay the price of freedom, because you can't get freedom overnight; you can't get freedom by singing and praying; you have to really do something, do a real work, be before freedom can be yours. And so I am saying that we are behind Marius Garvey, right away. We are behind him when we is right, to keep him right, and we are with him when he is wrong to make him right. African is calling to us where-we can be real men and women; where I can give willingly of the best that is within me; where I can stand up and talk to my people like a real woman and not take a back sent. "In 1927 we shall show to the world that we shall 'not fail' that failure is an unknown quantity with us. Crush right to earth and it will rise again. Four hundred million Negroes are determined to carve out a place for themselves in the sun, and under God and 'Garvey we shall win.' (Aplausae.) The speech-making ended, resolutions were carried expressing loyalty to and appreciation of the Hon. Marcus Garvey, his wife, and the members of the Executive Council. DR. J. G. ST. CLAIR DRAKE'S ADDRESS Dr. Drake, International Organizer, said the membership had passed another milestone in the life of the organization, standing as it did on the verge of another twelve months' journey. The present was, therefore, the time for contemplation and sorrowful thought and study of the future. Resolves were sometimes lightly made, being the result of custom rather than of conviction; but he was certain that resolves would be made by the membership in all earnestness, and that the new year of 1927 would see a greater, more grim determination on the part of the members than ever before. Gratitude to 'Absent Leader The speaker, went on to say that the time was fitting to remind them of the great debt of gratitude owed the imprisoned leader of the organization for making it possible for men and women, and children, too, to meet night after night in all parts of the world with a common purpose, and that purpose the uplift of their race. And when he, the speaker, looked back upon what had been accomplished in eight years, he had great confidence in the future.

TOOTE'S ADDRESS Hon. Fred. A. Toote, noting President-Congress, thanked the members for the splendid manner in which they had rallied in an effort to save Liberty Hall from falling into the hands of designing tricksters. He was glad to report that some distrust divisions that were appealed to, had also responded in a loyal manner, making it possible for them to have the $12,000 required by last Thursday's meaning. He was indeed proud to be a leader of such men and women whose character and love for the organization was so significantly displayed during the past week. He had, to report, however, that the enemy, annoyed and surprised that the money was forthcoming, after causing it to, be counted, refused to accept it and went through the farce of effecting, a sale, the auctioneer knocking down the property to Mr. Caesar Holstein, in whose behalf foreclosure was threatened. Steps were immediately taken, however, to prevent the passing of title and he was confident that on Wednesday, when the matter was bought before the Court, the amazing sale proceedings would be nullified. The speaker promised his hearers and the membership at large that after the Court had spoken a full account of the event concerning the mortgage and forcical sale would be given, and assured them that there was because whatever for uncasiness. The following resolution was moved by Mr. Sydney Jeffrey, seconded by Mrs. Hunte and unanimously carried amid great applause: Resolved, That we, the members of the New York Local of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, feeling a deep appreciation for the services rendered to the cause of African Redemption by the Hon.
