Refuse to Yield Up Africa; Only Present a United Front to the Common Enemy And Victory Will Be Ours
Fellow Men of the Negro Race, Greeting:
The Universal Negro Improvement Association has been the one outstanding Negro movement that has presented the real claims of the race to the other races and nations of the world in unmistakable terms. This association has outlined a program of demands that forces the world to recognize that it must reflect a new and different attitude in dealing with the Negro of the present generation. The world also realizes that the demands of the Negro through the Universal Negro Improvement Association are just. For instance, the claim that we make for the redemption of Africa and for the universal emancipation of Negroes cannot be disputed. Realizing this, different sinister agents have been at work endeavoring to undermine and destroy the usefulness of this great association.
They have tried in many ways to destroy the Universal Negro Improvement Association, but have up to the present failed signally. It is not for me to enumerate the methods which have been used to disable this only movement of the Negro race that seeks the race's liberty, the race's freedom; but every one who takes but a cursory glance at things racial will see that the undermining influences operating against the Universal Negro Improvement Association are so many as to make us feel that indeed this great movement must be a thorn in the flesh of the evil doers.
In the days to come, when the history of this movement will have been written, many of the intrigues against it will be exposed, but for the present, suffice it to say, by way of information for the four hundred million Negroes of the world, that the time has come for us to make a united stand in protection of this organization against the designs of the evil ones.
REFUSE TO YIELD UP AFRICA
The powers that we refused to yield up Africa to will use every effort, or any method, to destroy the influence of this organization. The capitalists who would enrich themselves out of Africa are also working their game of destruction. All those who are opposed to Negro liberty in every shape and form have their own way of embarrassing the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and now we see, more than ever, the combination of these evil forces working in direct opposition, but what do we care when four hundred million Negroes are united with one common object for one common purpose?
The appeal goes out to the world of Negroes to come together now more than ever before; to show a united front to the common enemy who seeks to destroy the race through undermining the influence and power of the Universal Negro Improvement Association.
Can Negroes pull together? And the Universal Negro Improvement Association answers "Yes, we shall pull together, because if we do not, then surely we shall fall separately."
The future of the race depends upon the acts of the present generation, and those of us who are conscious of ourselves and hold visions of the future cannot but work on, irrespective of the forces operating against us to bring about the desired object of a redeemed country and an emancipated race.
Today the appeal is again made to each and everyone, that we can come together, unite our forces, and march abreast to meet the common foe of race degradation.
Give the Universal Negro Improvement Association all the support you can financially and morally. Now is the time we want the financial assistance of each and every member of the race, because the enemy presses on. Your $1, $2, $3 or $5 will help this movement carry on its fight for the checkmating of the enemy in his onslaught against racial progress. Whatsoever help you can give, send it immediately to the Secretary-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, 56 West 135th Street, New York City, to help the great cause.
With best wishes for you success, I have the honor to be
P. S.—Let all Branches, Divisions and members again be informed that the Parent Body requests that each and every one send in the 1927 Assessment Tax and all constitutional and financial reports, so as to enable the Executive Council to carry on the work of the organization at this time. Every loyal member will see to it that the Parent Body is supported at this time to carry on the great work. M. G.
COOLIDGE DEFENDS LANDING OF MARINES IN NICARAGUA
Senator Borah, Republican,
Takes Issue with President in Recognizing Diaz
Government — Moderate
Criticism from Democrats
By RICHARD V. OULAHAN
In The New York Times
WASHINGTON. Jan. 9. Although the oratorical attacks by Democratic Senators yesterday on the Administration's policy with regard to Nicaragua may give a contrary impression, the disposition of the generality of Democrafs in the Senate appears to be in accord with the conservative attitude of Senator Robinson of Arkansas, the minority floor leader, and Senator Swanson of Virginia ranking minority member of the Committee of Foreign Relations.
They faster deferring decision as to party action until Secringa: Kellogg has appeared in japan before the Foreign Relations Committee and explained the attitude of the Administration. Mr. Kellogg will be heard by the committee this week.
President Coolidge is credited with having induced the majority of Democrats to refrain from battle speeches pending Secretary Kellogg's expiration of the Administration's course. When Senator Robinson and Swainson left the White House the other day, fresh from a discussion of the Nicaraguan episode with the President, their comment to newspapers was marked by mobilization. While they were not entirely clear in explaining their reaction to what was told them by Mr. Coolidge, they converged the impression that they intended to withhold judgment until the Administration had the opportunity of justifying to the Senate the policy it is pursuing in Nicaragua.
Borah's Attitude Contrasted
The moderate attitude of the Senate's Democratic leaders is emphasized by the open antagonism that Senator Burgh, the Republican chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, has shown toward the President's program.
Mr Borah not only takes issue with the President in recognizing the Nicaraguan government headed by President Adolfo Díaz, but contends that Juan Sánchez, head of the Liberal party, whom this Government averse is working support from Mexico, is the constitutional President.
Much of the embarrassment which surrounds the Administration course in Nicaragua appears to be due to its failure to give a clear explanation of its attitude through the press when its policy became effective.
When American blue jackets and murines were landed under the direction of Rear Admiral Julian L. Latimer at Puerto Cabezan, the capital of the Sainta Government, and the Socaña force compiled withdraw from neutral zones established by Admiral Latimer, the explanation furnished to newspaper by the United States Government was that the only purpose of landing our armed forces was to protect the lives and property of American and foreign nationals in accordance was the customary policy of the United States in cases of hostilities in certain Latin-American countries.

While Marcus Garvey languishes in prison, the white nation of the earth are parceling out Africa. It seems as though "no man can hinder." The redemption of Africa rests with the native people, who inhabit the country. For this reason, the propaganda of Marcus Garvey will get prove to be a deadly weapon in the arousing of those people to action. A veritable Black Samson remains to be awakened Garvey, even in prison, is awakening him.

BATTLE IMPENDS ON QUOTA LAW
Quota of Great Britain, Which Discriminates Against Negroes, Doubled at Expense of Others
WASHINGTON. Jan 8—The new immigration quotar, which will become effective July 1, this year, will provoke a new battle in Congress over immigration, it appeared today, because of the reduction proposed for the quota allocations from Germany, Ireland and Scandinavian countries. The new quotar, which cut the total immigration for the next fiscal year to 153,441 altens instead of the 164,687 admitted this year, will be proclaimed by President Wooldgo on April 1 under existing law. They will go into effect three months later unless Congress intervenes.
It carried out the new alignment, based on the ratio of National origins as found in the 1920 census, would make Germany the heaviest loser with a reduction from 31,227 to 23,423 and the Irish Free State the second heaviest loser, with a reduction from 23,567 to 23,862.
The greatest quota increase will go to Great Britain, including Southern Ireland, with an increase from 31,007 to 73,028. Austria, Hungary, Italy, The Netherlands and Russia also will have their quotas increased among the more important nations.
If the sympathizers of the Irish Germans and Scandinavians combine to fight the new quotas, it was said, they may have no ability to block their application. An act of Congress, however, will be necessary.
CO-OPERATION THE TEST OF OUR CIVILIZATION
Remove Obstacles to Self-Development, Says Forman, of Georgia, Worker for Interracial Commission
Clark Howell Forman, assistant director of the Philips-Stokes Fund, speaking before the Hampton Institute student body in Odgen Hall Sunday evening stated that "co-operation is the test of civilization" and that the furthering of the principle of co-operation is one of the problems of all the peoples of the South.
What I am trying to do in the south, continued Mr. Forman, 'is to clear away all obstacles in the way of individual development. But even after these obstacles are cleared away there will still be a great deal of work to be done. For all that work will be of no value, unless the Negro people take advantage of it in the way of personal achievement. Mr. Forman elaborated his remarks by saying that respect for any people comes from the respect for individual achievement within that group pointing to such men as Booth T. Washington Muster Moton, Paul Johnson and Richard Hayes to illustrate his statement.
Mr. Foran is a Georgian and his interest in the problem of two races living together led him to intensive studies in the field of sociology. Feeling that cooperation was the crying need in the betrayment of interracial conflicts he decided to try out his ideas in practice and work to Atlanta to work for the Interracial Commission. A real experience has continued here of the corruptions of his agreement to be in new working with the Pharoah and I am along similar lines in effort to help further the work of interracial cooperation and of meeting new problems in the design of the South.
THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JANUARY 15, 1927
Coolidge Says He Is But Doing His Duty of Protecting American Lives and Property—Denounces Mexican Government
WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.—Explainin his Nicaraguan policy to Congress today, President Cochdge declared in a special message that munitions, of war supplied the Sacasa "revolutionists bear evidence of having belonged to the Mexican Government." He added that gun runners to the Sacasa group apparently had been fitted out in Mexico with the "encouragement of Mexican officials and in at least one case sailed under the captaincy of Mexican reserve officers."
The message reviewed at great length the American attitude toward the Nicaraguan controversy, which the President said was grounded in the traditional policy of the nation "to take steps that may be necessary for the preservation and protection" of American lives and property.
"I have the most conclusive evidence," said Mr. Cohlidge, "that arms and munitions in large quantities have been on several occasions since August, 1926, shipped to the revolutionists in Xuandu.
"Boats carrying these munitions have been fitted out in Mexican ports and some of the munitions bear evidence of having, belonged to the Mexican Government.
"It also appears that the ships were fitted out with the full knowledge of and, in some cases, with the encouragement of Mexican officials and were in once instance at least, commanded by Mexican naval reserve officers."
Review or Situation
"I have deemed it my duty," said the President, "to use the powers committed to me to insure the adequate protection of all American interests in Nicaragua, whether they be andangered by internal strife or by outward interference in the affairs of that republic."
The message reviewed relations between the United States and Nicaragua, beginning in 1912, when the United States landed a large force to put down a revolution. A negation guard was maintained in Nicaragua until 1925.
Reference was made to the negotiations of 1918, leading to the Central American treaties designed to render unconstitutional government unrecognizable by the other republics.
In October, 1924, the message continued, Solorzano was elected President of Nicaragua, with Juan B. Sacaes as vice-president, and received American recognition. When the marines were removed from Nicaragua in August, 1925, the President said "it appeared as though tranquility in Nicaragua was assured." Within two months, however, a further revolution occurred resulting finally in an agreement between the President and Gen. Chamorro, the leader of the revolution by which President Solorzano "agreed to substitute supporters of Gen Chamorro for certain members of his cabinet and to pay Gen. Chamorro $10,000 for the expense of the uprising and to grant amnesty to all those who participated in it."
Saonaa'a Return
At the end of November, the message said, "after spending some time in Mexico City," Juan B. Sacasa returned to Nicaragua and landing at Puerto Cebezas blamed himself at the head of the insurrection and immediately "declared himself President of Nicaragua."
No Latin American Government recognised him except Mexico, and since the "revolutionist" were receiving large quantities of arms and ammunition, President Coolidge "deemed it unfair to present the recognized Government from purchasing arms abroad" and the Department of Blato lifted the embargo upon riffleshipments to Nicaragua.
It would be inaccurately inconsistent for this country not to support the Government recognized by it to provide revolutionists were receiving arms and munitions from abroad." And the President
FIGHTS TO CANAL
Discussing the rights of the American Government in the construction of a canal through Nicaragua and for the construction of a rail base on Fonseca Bay the message said that at the time $3,000,000 was paid for the construction a final plan was drawn up between the Nicaraguan Government and its creditors providing for the consolidation of Nicaragua's obligation.
PANAMA TREATY ADDS TO UNREST IN PAN-AMERICA
"The Nation" Hits Offensive Alliance Between U.. S. and Panama — Another Step in Imperialist Policy — Offends Against an Innocent People
A new and extraordinary departure in Pan-American relations is the signing of an offensive alliance between Panama and the United States. Under this treaty Panama gives us her pledge that the republic will consider herself in a state of war in case of any war in which the United States should be a belligerant, and in order to render more effective the defense of the Canal will, if necessary in the opinion of the United States Government, turn over to the United States in all the territory of the Republic of Panama, during the period of actual or threatened hostility, the control and operation of wireless and radio communication, aircraft centres, and aerial navigation.
In addition the Republic of Panama agrees that "the United States shall have the direction and control of all military operations in any part of the territory of the Republic of Panama" during any actual or threatened hostilities.
We are aware that the Republic of Panama, which was set up by American arms after Theodore Roosevelt, as he boasted, "took Panama," has from the beginning been a creation of our Government, as much as vassal of ours as the Island of Malta is of Great Britain. Its government holds office under the shadow of American guns: its President would never do anything which the commanders of the Canal and our military zone did not wash him to undertake. Of course, Panama is not alone; as we dragged Panama into the World War so we forced in Cuba, Haiti, and Liberia—because we coveted a few German ships that had sought refuge in their waters. In a sense this treaty merely legalizes or recognizes an existing status. Having from the first made the mistake of refusing to internationalize the Panama Canal, we continue to lavish hundreds of millions of dollars upon its defenses and seek to justify our military interventions in Haiti and Nicaragua on the theory that if those countries should become hostile to us they would "benefit" the Panama Canal—which means "was also the excuse for retaining our naval base in Cuba. It is of course, precisely the plan of "military necessity" upon which Germany sought to excuse her invasion of Belgium.
If the treaty legalizes an existing status, it imposes the less a bad statue to legalize. It is an "entangling alliance" if there ever was one. It will add to the unrest and dislike of us throughout Pan-America—the London Times, in commenting on the treaty, declares that unrest in Latin America ever the steady southward march of the United States is increasing and will continue to increase. Meanwhile, there is an immediate complication at hand since Panama is a member of the League of Nations. League officials agree, that the Panama-United States treaty conflicts with three articles of the League Covenant and "does not do the United States, Panama, or the League any good and may do the last two considerable moral damage." With many of the irreconcilable Senators this will be an argument for approval of the treaty. In our judgment this treaty is another step in our most unhappy and imperialistic Pan-Americ policy, which must inevitably cost the United States donor. It would seem almost better to annex the Isthmus outright than to lay down the law that our Government in Washington shall have the right, to drag into a conflict the innocent people of the Republic of Panama, whose sole offense is that they lie near the Canal.
Urges Negro Support Of Education
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. Jan. 6 — It is our duty to help to the support of your public institution, especially your schools, in other ways than by giving them the financial support which is an essential part in H. O. Bargerat's enunciation of Kregatas at the dedication of a memorial cemetery here by recognition to commemorate those of the race who lost their lives in the world war. By burglaring who is Agent of Agricultural Education for Groves made, this assertion in the heart of a district in which a very small percentage of the school for education is allowed to be occupied by groves schools.

Aviation of Prime Importance in Defense of Nation—Military Units and Civilians to Be Trained as Pilots and Observers
MEXICO CITY.—The Significance attached to governmental Mexico's deep interest in developing a strong air force is heightened by the almost simultaneous publication here of two stories, one announcing the inauguration shortly of a new military school of aviation, the other announcing the projected establishment of a civilian aviation school.
The Secretary of War and Marine, with the approval of President Cailes, will open soon the military school, to be known as the Military School of Aeronautical Application and Impulse of Aviation, and will be located on the government's Balbuena Flying Field.
The school will devote itself to two distinct branches of the air service, first, to the training of air pilots, and second, to the training of dorautical observers. The two courses will be entirely independent of each other, schooling-for the first extending over a period of nine months, and for the second, one year, according to present plans.
It is pointed out that the first course will serve merely to take over the activities of the military aviation school now in existence, possessed, however, with more equipment and better facilities for turning out expert airmen.
The development of a strong body of aviators is regarded as of such importance by the Mexican government that no restrictions will be placed on the number of persons desirous of entering the course for pilots. The only requisite for admission to this branch will be that the applicant shall have passed through the Vocational School of the Military College and shall have attained the military rank of at least a second lieutenant. The course for observers, however, will be limited to a maximum of seventy-five students, as this is felt sufficient to meet the situation in the near future. In the case of both courses, furthermore, the fitness of the applicant for the air services will be taken into consideration. Only those students who show real ability as aviators will, upon completion of the theoretical courses in the class rooms, be permitted to continue their studies into courses of actual dying.
Denies Excluding Nagrões
Committee of 1,000 Officially Contraindicts Story About Bishops
WASHINGTON, Jan. 7. Officials of the Citizens Committee of One Thousand for Law 'Observeance made formal denial today that four Negro bishops of the Methodist Episcopal Zion Church had been excluded, last night from the committee's annual banquet.
"No one was refused, admission to the banquet," said Charles N. Sherwood, executive secretary of the committee. "Under no circumstances would we refuse admission to someone because of color or creed.
The bishops themselves said they had remained away because they felt there was some objection to their sitting at the banquet table.
Union Formed by Negro Automobile Workers
DES MOINES. Jan 8.—The industrial union movement has struck Dust Moines automobile row. Negro employees of many of the automobile accessories agencies have organized for the purpose of "improving working conditions and" to enrich employees with competent help. The organization will be known as the Automotive Worker*s Association, with Robert Sims of the Kruldenier-Cadillac Company, as president. A membership rally has been called to be held January 9th in the Burns Methodist express church, which will be addressed by Mayor Fred Hunter. C P.
WASHINGTON. Jan 8-A grand total of $120,000,000 of Negro risks carried by the American insurance company was shown by a report of the National Negro Insurance Association, 25 companies included, which was made public through its representative there recently. Of this amount, one white company carried $300,000,000 risks. All of these white companies $200,000,000 in Negro risks and one carried. The 25 companies of the Negro association carried $184,210,000 in Negro risks, while Negro parties included the association share carried $11,000,000. The Negro risks representing less than percent of that total—C.P. H.
LATEST EFFORT TO WREST VALUABLE PROPERTY FROM HANDS OF U.N.I.A. MEMBERS FAILS WHEN SUPREME COURT JUDGE VOIDS FAKE SALE
Cradle of Liberty Once Again Saved from Jewish Negro Combine "Philanthropic" Bent of Casper Holstein Receives a Setback—History of Strange Events Leading Up to Eve of New Year's Eve Fiasco
NEW YORK, Jan. 10—Somewhere in this city a strange sight is to be seen. A handful of Negroes and Jews are weeping and wailing and grashing their teeth and commiserating one with the other. These Jews are not concerned about the back-to-Palestine movement. These Negroes are not concerned about the back-to-Africa movement. All their thoughts, Jew and Negro alike, are centred upon how most speedily to get possession of the valuable property of the Universal Negro Improvement Association situated at 114-120 West 138th Street. The Jews furnish the brains and the Negroes the instruments.
The weeping has begun all over again because today, in Supreme Court, Part I, Justice Aaron L. Levy practically drove some men out of court when they appeared to oppose a motion by the Universal Negro Improvement Association asking that the court set aside and vacate a sale of the aforementioned Liberty Hall property, alleged to have been perfected on December 30. Ergo, the property remains in the hands of its rightful and much-harassed owners.
A Little History
But a little History is here necessary. When Marcelo Garvey founded the Universal Negro Improvement Association he bought twenty lots of land on 128th street for $108,000, and on it erected a temporary Liberty Hall. The site is a very desirable one. It is in the heart of Harlem, between Lonox and Seventh avenues, and would make a fortune for any real estate gentleman who acquired it and erected on the box-like contrivances now being offered for tenancy to Harlem dwellers.
unless every penny was paid. There was no time to lose. The sale was only a few days off. Ten thousand dollars was raised, and Mr. Holstein approached and asked to accept that sum, but no relief was obtained. The officers were referred by him to Jacobson and Jacobson, who, he said, were his lawyers. The full amount was, however, raised and on the morning of December 30, the money in their packets, the officers, Hon. F. A. Toote at their head, with their attorney, Mr. Arkin Kohn, of Kohn and Nagler, proceeded to the sale rendezvous!
Marcus Garvey was sent to prison. Then the scramble began. Useless to recount hero the antics of one George Weston and certain displeased officials who, as soon as the great leader's back was turned, promptly set out to steal his life's work. Suffice it to say that from Vice-President of the New York Local Weston soon climbed to the high post of "President-General" in his own imagination, and had his toddles elected "executive officers" of the great Universal Negro Improvement Association. "New York is the strategic point," they said. "Seize New York and the world is ours."
But the best laid schemes of mice and men gang att agies. The videawake members of the New York Local would have nothing to do with Weston and his bigfatuluth Collins, and when they saw that their property was in serious jeopardy, nearly $50,000 burden in mortgages having been placed upon it they thought it was high time to act. One autumn night they walked into their hall on mass, the white Weston was holding forth to eight persons. Weston took to his heels. The game was up.
Jacobson & Jacobson.
But Weston had an adviser, a legal adviser—the white firm of Jacobson & Jacobson. It was one of the members of this firm who fed Weston's conceit, made him believe he was ordained of God to fill Marcus Garvey's shoes, and perhaps chused him to make the fantastic declaration that he would erect a million-dollar property on the Liberty Hall site—apartments on either side, a hall had offices in the middle—or drink the Hudson River dry. All this was to be done in short order. His Weston's major task was to liquidate debts of the Association, consisting of sundry enormous amounts for salaries alleged to be $1 million dismissed officials. Then all would be well.
The hall was mortgaged, as stated above, and salaries paid. Other disbursements besides salary payments were made, and these. It is learned: are now the subject of investigation
A Starting Move
Soon a starling move was made. A holding corporation was to be formed. This move was checked through the altruists of Mr. Irish Gittens, executive secretary of the New York Local and the executive officers of the Association at headquarters.
But the enemy died hard: A few months ago the Strong Service Corporation presented for payment of mortgage money, and Mr. Cooper Holstem, a Nome game forward and made good to the extent of about $12,000. This was during the time that Weston and his doubled followers still occupied Liberty Hall.
It was not long after that Garvey
loved them so they came to be filled in the
press, and reinstated themselves in
their hall than so many disturbing news
was heard. The Strong Service Cor-
rison or Air Holstien, represented
by Bromide a white lawyer, the
tourist and the girl of the town,
advertised for Dr. Brown. The theatre held told that the
sale would go through an advertised
unless eyecy penny was paid. There was no time to lose. The sale was only a few days off. Toil thousand dollars was raised and Mr. Holstein approached and asked to accept that sum, but no relief was obtained. The officers were referred by him to Jacobson & Jacobson, who, he said, were his lawyers. The full amount was, however, raised and on the morning of December 30, the money in their pockets, the officers, F. H. A. Toote at their head, with their 'attorney', Mr. Armin Kohn, of Kohn and Nagler, proceeded to the sale rendezvous. There was a motley gathering, interested Jows and interested Negroes and court officials and press reporters all commingled. The money was tendered, and it was refused. The sale was proceeded with and the property knocked down to Mr. Casper Holstein for $36,000 in excess of $88,000 worth of mortgages. Mr. Holstein left the scene with a smile on his face and announced to all and sundry that he had bought the property for the people!
But the best laid schemes, etc. The aid of the courts was invoked, and today-the sale was declared null and void. Mr. Brandels, for the Strong Service Corporation, or Mr. Holstein, submitted that, among other things, the money was refused because Attorney Kohn tendered it, while Jacobson & Jacobson wore the legal representatives of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. But the court was not long in making up its mind when Mr. Kohn explained the peculiar status of Jacobson & Jacobson in the matter.
And now there will be rejoicing in Liberty Hall, and wherever new Negroes assemble in their Liberty Halls. And they will go forward with the great work, preparing themselves to vanquish the next move of the enemy if ever he rears his head again.
Firestone Abandons His Mexican Rubber. Project Natural Conditions Favorable, but Counteracted by Other Influences, He Says
MEXICO CITY, Jan. 2.—Harvey S. Firestone, who two years ago required considerable jungle property in the State of Chiapas, for the development of rubber in his campground to fight the British monopoly, has found that although climatism and natural conditions in Chiapas were favorable to the project "other conditions" has forced him to abandon his undertakings.
In an announcement made today in a bulletin by the American Chamber of Commerce Mr. Firestone's withdrawal was explained by the inability of the natural favorable conditions to counteract other conditions, which militated against the progress of his work. His withdrawal was confirmed in a letter to the chamber. The chamber's statement adds "Mr. Firestone's plans in Liberia are being carried out on a large scale, with the full encouragement of the government."
It has been known for years that Chiapas offered unique advantages for rubber production. A few months ago Secretary of Commerce Howard, seeking opportunity for rubber growing, sent Alexander A. Herer with the American Commercial Market here to Chiapas to investigate the business. Mr. Herer and the American Bureau of Trade had the rubber industry only Mr. Firestone made an effort to establish an American subter base.

Hon. F. Levi Lord, Chancellor, Gives Details of Plot to Get Liberty Hall—Says a Few Whites and Negroes Have Banded Themselves. Together to Embarrass Organization
NEW YORK, LIBERTY HALL, Sunday Night, Jan. 9. The famous forum of Negro liberty, was agog with enthusiasm tonight as the faithful followers of the Universal Negro Improvement Association assembled in their thousands to drink in the inspiration which came from the various speakers. Hon. Fred Tooter, acting President General, was absent having gone on a flying visit to the Philadelphia division, and the chair was occupied by the Hon. W. A. Wallace, Secretary-General. Judging from the demeanor of the audience, it was evident that the effort of the enemy to discourage them by having accounts of the "sale of Liberty Hall" published in the metropolitan press had not brought the dismay planned. They cheered every speaker to the echo, the Hon. F. Levi Lord, Chancellor, being accorded an ovation as he came forward to explain the ramifications of the "sale" in detail and renew his pledge to the people that white he and his colleagues had breath and they, they people, continued to give, them their unstinted support, Liberty Hall would remain safe and secure.
Encouraging addresses were also delivered by Hon. W. A. Wallace, Mrs. Lucy McCartney, First Lady Vice-President, Mr. E. B. Knox, President of the Chicago division, and Mr. Charles James, Second Vice-President.
A report of the speeches follows:

"The year 1827 has just begun, and we find ourselves facing the greatest racial conflict of the age," according to the words spoken by Judge Klein from this platform, and with our matchless leader, Hon. Marcus Garvey, in Atlanta for during to unite the black world for its self-preservation. I could not choose a more fitting subject for consideration at this time than that of asking the white world what would you do if the shoes were on the other foot, and warning him of the danger of his persistent application of brutal and vicious tactics dictated by prejudice and hatred.
"In God's distribution of punishment for disobedience of His laws, he asks not if a man who commits a crime be white or black, but he made an invocable law to govern all. The black man is no longer terrorized by this brutality, but is made angry. He wants a change of propaganda and of tactics, he is anxious that religion cease to be made a fable, and the Bible treated as a fairy tale. Therefore we are making earnest inquiry at this beginning of the new year of this white man, what he would do if the shoes were on the other foot? If he were forcibly taken from his native land by an alien people, and transported to another, enslaved for hundreds, of years by them, their woman compelled to bear children for the market, sold as common merchant.
White Bishop Sees As Result of Injust
(From The Rand Daily Mail, Johannesburg, S. Africa, Nov. 15.)
Until three years ago a government official in the Lands Department, Bishop John Walker of the Liberal Catholic Church, delivered a striking sermon on "The Crime of Racialism" to the Theosophical Society in the board room of the Chamber of Commerce, Johannesburg, last evening. Mr. W. M Green presided.
There was, in this apinion, add Bishop Walker, a law of the universe that governed the movements of civilization, and he believed that there was an important and deliberate purpose in the forces that had brought about the migration of the two white races to South Africa. The reason for this, asking it, it was, that the two races should unite their forces to create a more perfect type, superior in quality to either the Englishman or the Dutchman individually.
Do not think that if you are an Englishman you have nothing more to learn" the speaker advised. "And if you are a Dutchman, do not think that the earth is yours and the fullness thereof. Co-opulation and collaboration is wanted. Legislation and court—individual, political or social—that tries to keep the two white races separate or in conflict is a crime against civilization and humanity."
Blahop Walker said he had never met any person of intelligence who did not acknowledge that any "two-stream" policy was harmful, having in its foundation prejudices and sel-
gings.
Change Wanted
dise and traded an battle, their men forced to work night and day uncompensated and then beaten with many stripes without provocation, what would he do? Then after two hundred and fifty years of this treatment, if he had come to the battlefield and fought for his liberty and gained it, saved the country in which he was enslaved and misused, received the privilege to engage in the pursuit of life, liberty and happiness, and had by the exercise of the limited opportunity afforded him given proof to the world of his ability to run to any height, through showing the greatest advancement and development of any people of any time.
What Would He Do?
What would he do when after this progress out of this slavish, degraded and miserable condition not of his making he had freely joined in supporting the country that had enslaved him, domned their uniform for conflict, gone forth and helped to win, every war in which they were engaged, asking nothing more than the protection of the humblest citizens, only to return and find him mistreated by the very people whom he sought to save?
"What would he do if members of his race and family" were hurried alive with only the head protruding and a bulldog set upon him until his face was a mass of jelly, not because even of alleged crime, but because he were white and some one wanted to have some sport."
"What would he do when his children had been taken, from their mother's breast and brains beaten out and the mother's breast cut off, his women cleaved in twain and an unborn child murderously destroyed, gasoline poured over, her body and burned for no crime other than being white?"
What would he do if members of
black people being considered in the light of "objects of exploitation." The white people in South Africa ought to aim at that stage in the course of evolution where they would be able to look on the others as brothers and sisters. He told that unless men changed their manner of handling the other races a great human cataclysm was coming in South Africa. He had had a vision that this would happen unless there was a change. A feeling of hatred was growing up in the souls of the natives—a hatred we bitter that it might in time get out of hand. The white races had a duty to perform. In their hands lay the welfare of the native races, and their relationship should be that of an older brother towards a younger.
With regard to segregation perhaps the white man's ideal was that the native territories should be a kind of nursery in which the natives could be hefted to grow out of their childhood and to the state of civilization which the white races had attained—that was there not perhaps the narrow outlook—that the natives should be put on one side so that they might not be able to share in the behold of the white man's civilization? Was there not the feeling that as the white man had to struggle 2,000 years the black should be obliged to go through the same long period of trial and hardship the problem by that time might solve itself?
Wishop Walker said he felt that the white man should not resist them in this matter and that the united families in South Africa

his race were dragged across three streets at the end of vehicles, brutally butchored and otherwise maltreated because some one said a member of his race had committed a crime, or he were led into a city of supposed civilized people and burned while the populace, in its desperate, looked on with glee?

"Again, what would he do if every way he turned in the country he had helped make safe for democracy he were inconvenienced in his travels by signs and results. No white people moved here. No white people employed here. No white people better alight here."
"What would he do is, in the school books, newspapers and magazines, he was continually being told. You are inferior to those with whom you are complying, yet he was doing so under the very worst of circumstances, while at the same time he was being abused and exploited at every turn, misused and abused, whenever possible; required to pay the same amount of tax for schooling and representation and only allowed less than one-fifth at that due him, and yet mocked at for ignorance by those depriving him of knowledge?
For these are names of the things carried out by the white people, not by us, in what they are pleased to call darkest Africa, but in America's civilization, least of its humanity, of its Christianity and philanthropy. If this be the purpose of Christianity, as exemplified through such actions of England, Sjain, Portugal, Belgium and America, it is the Black Man is ready to say he wants no more of it, and may the Lord Jehovah save us from such Christianity!
Deal Justly by the. Negro
"We say, then, to the white people of the earth, why not change your program and deal fairly and justly with your fellow man." Why not avert the cataclyphe you are fast brining on by your actions, driving from you, your best friends in time of trouble, building a volcano in your midst, destroying the bridge over which you have traveled many a crushing the most loyal spirits in the land, oppressing and hampering the most amiable people on earth, ever ready, to respond to good treatment?
"We appeal to you, we implore you, do not drive this race to desolation, for every battlefield tells the story of their prowess when aroused. But put the shoe on the other foot and let us have peace, happiness and genuine Christian spirit to reign for the New Year.
"Christianity is only shown forth as it is lived up to. The Christ taught. Do unto others as you would that they do unto you." We are ready to joint the preservation and elevation of the human family, whom God created to dwell together on earth in peace, giving to each his habitation, but we want it to be known that we are a part of that human family and lay claim to our habitation, proclaiming to the world, "Africa is the Black Man's and for its reclamation and redemption we shall strive; no imprisonment for our leaders or members shall stop us from our battle for this purpose."
Africa Will Be Ours
"Our cause we believe to be justly correlated, Marcia Harvey, we know to right, and our wills are unbroken by the will attempts of those who would destroy, and we are determined on march to victory and make of Africa the home again of the Ethiopian as the Pilgrim fathers were to make this the home of the white man, as Finland is the home of the Anglophone as Japan is the home of the Japanese, as China is the home of the Chinese, nor Italy the home of the Italian.
"Africa is awakening. The Negro rising, and Africa shall assuredly be redeemed recognized by the sacrifices of those who have embraced the ideals of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, caught the Abyssin of the great leader, published the spirit of pioneers and making the field of heroes, looking unto the Amhityh God for wisdom, strength and guidance, forging ahead, allowing no obstacle to be great enough to deter them from their purpose, but by their steadfastness proving to the world that Negroes can do and will do.
"And we want America, and the world to know that we stand by Marcus Carvey in Jail, we stand by Marcus out of Jail, we stand by Marcus Carvey in America or out of America." (Applause.)
MR. CHARLES JAMES' ADDRESS
Mr. Charles Japles, and V. President of the New York Local recently elected at a membership meeting of the division, made his oratorical debut and created a fine impression. He delivered an interesting talk on "self," bidding his hearers remember that selfishness while regarded as a virtue is sometimes a virtue, though not in the individual sense. Selfishness was a virtue when it turned a people's mind to the elevation of themselves in lifting themselves from the mire of degradation and oppression to the place where they could enjoy the amities of civilization and practice the larger brotherhood of man. When he spoke of selfishness, the speaker drove home, he referred to clanishness on the crest of, which other races had ridden to fame and power. The Universal Negro Improvement Association, founded by the Hon. Hammond, had come upon the scene of action and taught clanishness so that Negroes, itself, might build up a nation of their own thereby to gain the respect of the world. For this teaching the U. S. A and its great work to be praised, and he trusted the day would never begin when Negroes would forget its legacy.

Some Points for Agents to Remember, and How Liberal Commissions Can Be Earned by Persons Willing to Distribute World's Outstanding Negro Newspaper
By ERNEST E. MAIR, Business Manager
The business of representing this paper in your local community as an agent is one of supreme importance and because so many persons take it lightly; we take this opportunity to have a heart-to-heart talk with you on the subject.
First of all we want to advise those intending to take up activities as to the best method to follow if they would produce results.
If you have a newsstand or are enraged to any kind of business such as sugar store, dry-goods store, barber shop, pool room or other similar venture your problem is already half solved for you. It is then a matter mainly displaying the paper in a compacious manner so as to attract the attention of the public.
Of course the use of a little imagination is helps useful. You could for instance sold a copy of the paper, as to display some item of compiling interest. This item may be an editorial on some subject of current interest to Neosoderm. It may be news from Arign, or if you are in Africa, news from the New World.
For those taking up agencies who are not in business it is best toin our opinion to approach various individuals with a view to securing regular weekly buys. By this method the agent is able to avoid loss from unaccounting trade because he knows ahead of time the correct number of copies to order. Where time and local conditions' permit, a house-to-house delivery is best since many people who may neglect to go out and buy a copy every week will buy regularly if his or her copy is delivered at home. The Negro World is an unusually easy paper to sell in this way. It has the faculty of 'making permanent readers. New persons who once get into the habit of reading the Negro World every day it for any other paper. We have one agent in a small midwestern 'town who is a high school boy of some sixteen years of age. He started out with a circulation of six copies weekly about three months ago and by a house-to-house conveyance has raised his weekly order to fifty-six. considering the size of his邻居hood and the amount of time at his disposal this is not at all a poor showing. If 'idistracte
Men throughout the world were (today) wondeling "what manner of man is this," and, she ventured to think, the cause" of his continued incarceration lay in an unjustified fear on the part of the authorities that his release from prison would be the signal for a general uprising on the part of Negroes everywhere. But they need not have any fear, because Meculc, Garvey was a builder, not a destroyer; a prophet, not a reactionary. It only remained for Negroes everywhere to use themselves under his banner, guided by the principles he so easily espoused, and victory would be theirs.
MR. E. 8. KNOX'S ADDRESS.
MR. E. E. KNOX'S ADDRESS
Mr. E. E. KNOX, President of the Chicago Division, then delivered a diverting talk. He congratulated the membership on being one more in their own forum and declared he could see by their faces that they were there to stay. Advertising to the influence of caricature he said what surprised him was the number of persons who professed to be unconscioned to the doctrine of the Association but who seduplily lived up to its principles, caught, as it were, almost in spite of themselves, in its iron grasp. The teachings of Marcus Garvey were working a powerful revolution in men's minds and having an exceedingly helpful influence on Negro endeavor in every sphere.
Mr. Knox assured his hearses that the mothers in the city of Chicago were one hundred percent for the cause determined that come what may they would hold aloft the hands of their children and the shamers of the Red, the Black and the Green.
HON. F. LEVI LORDS ADDRESS
Honor, Levi Lord, chancellor, then explained the details of the alleged sale of Liberty Hall and bade the members contain calm, confident that right would triumph. He told of a conversation he had with a prominent gentleman who depicted the plot between some Jews and Negroes to get hold of the 18th street property andinder the organization. He was glad to be able to state however, that the evil designs of the would-be malefactors were being brought to light more and more with each succeeding day, and it would not be long before they would be compelled to desist from their nefarious task. As for himself and the other executive officers, he could only retrate that an long-breath remained in their bodies they would see to it that the hall remained inviolate. All they asked was the continued support of the people.
Detachment of 300 Marines Ordered to Proceed to Chjna
WASHINGTON, Jan. 10 At arrangements for immediate transportation to Tulsa of the marine detachment at Omaha were announced today at the Navy Department.

times to grow at the same rate he will soon have to secure assistance in making his deficiencies.
Most new agents are somewhat wary of a non-returnable paper such as ours in. They claim that to be required to pay for unsold copies works a hardship on them. But if you stop to think of the waste involved in distributing on a return basis you will agree that it is a good system to avoid. We have tried both methods and find that the non-returnable policy is best both for the paper and for the agent if means that when we print only the number of copies which approximately we expect to sell we reduce our overhead expenses and can therefore afford to give a more liberal commission in agents.
The agent who is able to return unsold copies easily Yields into a careless attitude when ordering—but if he knows that he must pay for what he orders he learns to gauge those requirements of his nation so quickly. I come now to the important matter of new territory. There are many large Negro centers of population where the Negro World is little known. Persons friendly to this paper who read this article and happen to know of likely contractions in such places, are urgently requested to send to the paper office at 86 W. 133th Street, New York City, number and addresses of prospective agents. If you are an subscriber and unable to take up an agency or recommend us one you may find it to your benefit to write for our plan whereby you can make a liberal commission on the price of yearly or semi-yearly subscriptions. We want more readers—what this paper does not—and we want your help to secure them.
Write us now. In our next lesson
we will give advice to students on the
subject of weekly reports, remittances,
and changes in supply, etc.
PARIS, Jan. 8. American rubber manufacturers not only can dominate the domestic market, but can control the world supply if they will take up the culture of virgin rubber in the opinion of Harvey, S. Firestone, Jr. who has just returned from Liberia. His three months' inspection of the Eirestress Company's newly acquired 1,000,000-acre plantation, the son of the rubber magneto plant, showed that the output of third trade alone could free the American market of foreign domination within from asperg to ten years.
At least five years must shape, before the tree on the plantation begins to yield, and the output will not cut an important figure in the market until from two to five years later. When in full operation, however, he estimated, the tract will produce 90,000 tons of crude rubber, as against the average American annual consumption today of 50,000 tons.
The Firestone Plantations Company has a 20-year lease on the tract, and the Liberian Government, thanks to a loan located in America, is building a modern harbor for exportation of the rubber.
The company plans to from a modern Americanized city nearly for the workers who will be surrounded by all sanitary safeguards.
América Too Modest,
Savs Australia Premier
PHILADELPHIA • JUN 8
The United States is far too modest about what it is accomplishing. This somewhat new note from notables of other lands in discussing, America, was sounded yesterday by the Right Hon Stanley M. Bruce, Promoter of Ammery, at a biprocess in his honor given by Rear Admiral Thomas P. Markruder.
"We have uniformed persons running about the showhard characterization of America," he said. "They say the United States is too brazen about itself. Anything far from this truth could scarcely be imagined. Any one who knows this aplaid country—a country that Australia has endured to pattern itself after in many ways, knows that the United States does not do enough talking about itself.
"In fact, it is indiscretely another You Americans are not half telling the world what you have done and what you are doing."
School Teachers Healthy
WASHINGTON, Jan. 8. According to a study made of the health of school teachers by the James P. Rogers, Chief, Division of Physical Education and School Health, published by the Bureau of Pollution, the absence of teachers from school an account of workmen, as compared with records of industrial workers and electrical groups seems to indicate the außerior health of tenchem. Contrary to general beliefs, statistics show that the teachers are not poor subject to the diseases of the respiratory organs than other indoor workers; not to diseases of the digestive organ. In regard to nervous diseases, however, and especially nephritis, or nervous examination, records are not so comparable to the teacher. These are not comparable to the teacher. There are no reports of children being in the United States 55 percent of whom are fortunate.

By S. A. HAYNES
In discussing the possibilities of the new year affecting our program, two weeks ago, I reached the conclusion that everything pointed to a year of surprises in the realm of internationalism. The following pronouncements should drive home to the membership at large some conception of the opportunities now present and prepare them to take full advantage thereof.
Henriot B. F. Fraser, professor of economics, Swarthmere College, in an interview editorial in the Pittsburgh Gazette Times, December 17, 1926. Imperialism has tussled many wars in history. In our day the conquest of Africa and India and the Far East has been fought with war scares. And it is still going on today. Nations in Europe are still looking to covet at parts of Africa and the Far East. At bottom, the unimposed profits of imperialism are nothing but an illusion. Today we know that imperialism is an economic failure. It is impossible to exploit a nation of backward needs and wants with worth. And if a country realizes the backward needs and wants, it is not long until a unanimous result is certain. The history of the British Empire proves this. Imperialism does not make a country prosperous. It risks war for very small dividends. It is not worth trying.
Doing Away With War Risks
Doing Away With War Risks
M. Irigand of France, an outstanding leader of thought and culture, philosopher, philologist in his 'Christmas message to France and the world thus.' "The people of the world have begun to realize that it is necessary to give themselves whole-heartedly to peace and to getting up technical means needed to do away with the old automatic risks of war."
President Goodidge, speaking at Treffen, December 19, 1926, the sesquicentennial celebration of Washington opening the laboratory closed. Washington and the patriot of his day painted peace. We want peace. They found it necessary to invite great sacrifices in order to seize it. We cannot escape the corresponding sacrifices. The world has been striving to advance in this direction, to discard the theory of relying entirely on force and to adopt the method of relying more on reason. We cannot establish the new principle unless we are willing to pit some courage into our convictions. As it is necessary to change the heart of the individual, so it is necessary to change the heart of nations. This has often been refigured to the moral disarmament. The mistake that is being made in its application lies in the fact that it does not correspond.
The International Situation
Mr. Philip Rights, special writer for the Pittsburgh Press, January 1: "It would need a prophet to foretell how the International situation in life to develop during the next twelve months because nothing is settled in the world today and they are many expensive, foreign, racial and economic pressures, which may break forth suddenly. I am under no Thugloss as to latent causes of conflict and international rivalry which lead to war. They are not only lurking in Europe. They are everywhere in this scething's children of begannity which is our world colored gates are death and broade to white man's influence of claims is a wrong, in the case of the and other western habits. I chocken nothing in not love one another with any new service." The great power of the world noisily. United States Great Britain, France and Germany, do not want war. They are going to prevent it by all possible means.
One cannot digest those penetration expressions without realizing that the white man is now engaged in a desperate struggle to save himself from the captivity which is the product of his own inattainable ambition. You realize further the price he is giving to prize for this salvation when threat strikes, the master subterfuge, harms to the growing manifestation of white insurrection and resentship against the United States for a John Knox birth and the prosecution in India is the burden of our

please and impel so meantime with disfavor but this day of one race, trouble, many land against the white and destitute of those under control has given birth to a type of regal problem that is destined to shift the course of civilization from West to East.
Should Test Peace, Howls.
There is no doubt in this city of the white man for peace and understanding. It is genuine and based on a proper interpretation of the impending appeal. But it is for the difference to test the sincerity of those who are afraid for peace and under humane duty for they are willing to go and what is necessary they are prepared to make in attainment of the goal. We should let the eloquence of truth and justice rather than the eloquence of words claim our attention.
Dr. Herbert F. Praser has reached a singular conclusion on the efficacy of imperialism. This scholarly gentleman owes it to his race and humanity to carry his convictions beyond the confines of the Pittaway-Gazette Pimpa. The Universal Negro Improvement Association affords him a splendid opportunity to propose his message of an imperialism to the world. From a thousand Liberty fists and through the columns of the World he can start news in the morning and perhaps human life. Let M. Palahi he be convinced his heart as he is in his speech. If he is wholly hearted for humanity, he may by him raise bacon to the table, not only useful to French but his government to return Abdul K'elim, gallant Rifani leader, to his native Morocco and to another explanation and impression in Africa.

PAY THE ANNUAL ASSESSMENTS
PRESIDENT-GENERAL MARCUS CARVEY, in the issue of The Negro World, calls upon the members of Universal Negro Improvement Association to pay prompt annual dues and assessments, which go to the support and up of the Parent Body. The divisions have obligations to present Body as well as has each member of the division, and the utmost importance that these obligations be met as due in order that the Parent Body may meet its obligation without co-operation in this matter neither the divisions nor the Parent Body can properly function. We all know that, but we all do what we know we are obligated to do; that is, we pay saying we will look after it another day. That is always daunting business. When a duty must be performed, when an obligation be met, now, always, is the accepted time. The longer it the more likely are we to forget it entirely. We need that to happen, but it often does, and it always makes a feasible situation. Pay the annual tax of one dollar at once, so that the money went to the Parent Body by the proper division authorities, is make it possible for the good work to go on as we all do it shall. We should all strive to make the year 1927 a ba in the history of the Universal Negro Improvement Association.

LATIN AMERICAN UNION IN THE-MAKING

THE enunciation and operations of the Monroe Doctrine, which limits European interference in the affairs of the Americas, was bound in the long run to develop a condition not contemplated by the authors of the doctrine. It has served to curb the disposition of European governments to interfere wherever, they have interests of one sort and another, and that has been a good thing for all concerned in the Americas. But all the countries of the Occident were young, with small populations and undeveloped resources, when the Doctrine was first enunciated. It seemed a good and necessary safeguard to the liberties of the Latin Americans. But, with the phenomenal growth of the United States as well as the Latin American States the encroachments of the United States on the liberties of the Latin Americans became more pronounced and the Latin Americans came more and more to resent the leading strings which the United States had tied to them by and with their consent.
The Latin American population is entirely mongrel. It is made up everywhere with the Red Indian at the bottom and predominating in numbers, with the amalgamated White Spaniard playing the master, and the black man playing against the red and white for such advantage as he can possibly secure by so doing. In the course of the years the three races have become pretty well amalgamated with a touch here and there of the Brown Asiatic infusion, mostly of recent development. This amalgamation has gone so far that an American writer not long since adventured the thought that the Latin Americans were not white persons and should not so be rated in our immigration rules and regulations. His contention raised a great howl at the time and in some way, because it was bound to do great injury to American diplomatic relations and extensive trade interests, agitation of the question was squelched, as if by unanimous consent of the vendors of news and opinion in the United States; but the suggestion and such discussion as was had in the Anglo-American press touched the Latin Americans in a very sensitive spot, much as drawing the color and race line on the Japanese did some years ago. Both groups will continue to feel the insult. In many of the Latin American states there is a very large percentage of pigs. Negroid people, and very little prejudice is shown against them. This is said to be peculiarly true of Brazil.
American activities in Nigragua at this time, with Mexico mixed up in opposition to the policies of the United States, is given as one of the reasons for agitating for the organization of a Latin American Union. Nicaragua, Costa Rico, Salvador, the Dominican Republic and Guatemala have all felt the weight of North American financial or naval power in the last quarter of a century, while Cuba, Porto Rico, Panama and Haiti have become dependencies of the United States. The following syndicated statement of the existing situation, which makes possible the organization of a Latin American Union, will give the reader a fair presentation of the situation, out of which very serious complications may arise between the Anglo-American and the Latin American States. The statement is as follows.
1. The controversy with Mexico, in which the United States challenges the right of Mexico to enact her own alien land laws.
2. The Nicaraguan situation, in which the State Department elevated Adolfo Diaz to the presidency and then sent warships and marines to lend him moral, if not actual, support. Diaz is a favorite with the American State Department of many years' standing.
3. The recently concluded Panama treaty, whereby Panama pledges herself to consider herself automatically at war with any power against which the United States goes to war. This treaty, which reduces Panama almost to the status of a vassal state, has been savagely criticized by the press of South America
There is no doubt that President Calles of Mexico has been
and is a prime mover in the agitation for a Spanish-speaking bloc to resist the creeping United States dominance to the South.
The contempt with which English-speaking Americans approach Latin American off-color peoples and treat them in official and business relations, presuming that they are infopers, is at the bottom of the agitation for a Latin American Union, the establishment of which will work no good for the United States.

In the article which furnished us this information we said of the disposition of the remaining 40 per cent. of the we who left to draw our own conclusion as to the disposition. We have since learned that 40 per cent. of the stock we offered to the citizens of Liberia. But we have not been certain who the managers of the banking scheme are. It is difficult to understand how Liberia has managed to get of the past years without a banking system, but it has made it. That it needs a responsible banking system goes wrong? Whether it is ready to support such a system remain seen. The American Negro, who is struggling with his problem of bank and insurance development, and with some, will have to be shown very clearly and conclusively the American banking proposition is a good and safe one, because who will control it are good and safe men, before he can take the $400,000 of stock to be offered to him.
IN the last issue of The Negro World, we had an editorial on "National Bank, Planned for Liberia," in which we took notice of the statements of Mr. Oscar Hudson of California, who has just returned from a visit to Liberia, that such a bank, capitalized at $1,000,000, sponsored by the Liberian government, had got under way, 20 per cent. of the capital stock being taken by the Liberian government, and 40 per cent was to be offered to the American Negro. In the article which furnished us this information nothing was said of the disposition of the remaining 40 per cent. of stock, and we were left to draw our own conclusion as to the disposition of it. We have since learned that 40 per cent. of the stock was to be offered to the citizens of Liberia. But we have not been able to ascertain who the managers of the banking scheme are.
It is difficult to understand how Liberia has managed to get along all of the past years without a banking system, but it has managed to do it. That it needs a responsible banking system goes without saying? Whether it is ready to support such a system remains to be seen. The American Negro, who is struggling with his own problem of bank and insurance development, and with some success, will have to be shown very clearly and conclusively that the Liberian banking proposition is a good and safe one, because the men who will control it are good and safe men, before he makes haste to take the $400,000 of stock to be offered to him.

ALL the patrons of The Negro World are interested in the living questions of law and law enforcement. They all believe that laws are made to be enforced and should be until they are repealed, but the presumption always is that a law to be enforced and obeyed should be reasonable and just. When a law is shown to be so unpopular that it cannot be enforced, but breeds a great criminal class, as the Volstead act has done, the demand becomes general that the law be modified or repealed. It has come to be that way with the Volstead act, which seeks to prohibit the manufacture and sale of intoxicating beverages. A large part of the citizenship has no respect for the law and defies enforcement of it, and thus a criminal condition is created dangerous to the welfare of the nation. Much of the unprecedented crime wave that has been sweeping the nation as a consuming flame, is traceable to efforts to enforce the Volstead act.

Mob Lawlessness Invites Federal Intervention
It is alight time for a new legislation for a federal anti-police law. The South met, the movement in 1922-28 with the argument that it would take care of its own lynchers. And for a time it seemed to do so. The number of lynchings which had averaged more than thirty a year, fell to 10 in 1933, and to 13 in 1938. But now the country seems to the conspiring to make a new record for this peculiar American form of hostility. Already the total for 1936 is almost twice that for 1955 and in the last month crimes has followed online. On October 1 three numbless Negroes were burned by a new men, Mumia insisted of having stolen goods from storm victims. The sheriff states that he balleys the charge untrue; but the men are dead. The Governor of South Carolina has sent an investigator to Alten to study the leaching of the three Lowmans there, but there is no hint of real action, despite the foot that the New York World has bravely exposed data to justify several fall sentences, in one of the finest campaigns in American newspapers—history. October's record also includes the leaching of a Negro charged with murder in Tennessee, and the hairbreak escape of a Mississippi Negro whose friends matured him with the State; in Montana, began with the combination of white and redman in Montana, where a Negro was burned to death in his barn by Indians who set the barn afame with fire arrows. In Texas on November 10 brave white men crushed the body of one Negro when burned two others in their log cabin. If the doctrine of State rights permits such crimes it needs revision. South Carolina knows it a test case. The Governor knows who is guilty; they are his friends; will he guilty; they are his justice—or will he prove that federal legislation is the only solution?
HEALTH TOPICS
By DR. M. ALICE ASSERSON. of the New York Tuberculosis- and Health Association
A Heap of Trouble From a Little Thing
Tonsils seep like just a small thing, when compared to the entire body. But infected or diseased tonsils cause a heap of trouble and make one think that, after all, they are not, such a little thing.
For instance, infection in the tonsils of children frequently causes rheumatism which may, in turn, cause heart trouble.
Diseased tonsils are dangerous to health. They should be removed by a competent surgeon, it, after examination, it is found that they are really a serious menace to health. The decision to operate is made upon a consideration of the diseased conditions, more than upon the size of the tonsils. Large tonsils which are not diseased may not be serious.
All parents should have their children examined by a careful physician in order to determine the condition of the tonsils. If they are infected or diseased they should certainly be removed. The operation may save the child from serious illnesses. It has often been noticed that, after the removal of tonsils, the patient suffers less from colds, group and tonsillitis. In children it has been noticed, too, that they frequently gain in weight and there is a favorable effect on the nervous system.
We sometimes hear of people who work themselves to death, just as we hear of, ghosts 'and man-eating sea serpents. And all the time we know "there ain't no such thing." For one man who works himself to death, ten thousand die from lack of exercise, overeating, late hours or avoidable injury. Failities from over work or hiccoughs are about equally rare.
Work develops; work stimulates; work strengthens; work induces, promotes and compels growth; work lays a cornerstone in the success structure whose place can not be filled by a substitute.
Work is the great actuator, greatest accelerator that any person can attach to his job, but all the time let it be understood that we mean intelligent work, intelligently applied.
Almost effort counts for nothing; the spasmodic, unintelligent worker is comparable to the well-known frog in the wall forever hopping up and slimming back.
Hard work will not at all take the place of judgment, thoughtfulness, tact nor an earnest purpose. Added to these, however, it always means a successful career. Working and liking it is normal existence. It is the most lasting form of enjoyment. But to many people, work is an ugly word.
"Voice of the Negro" Is New Paris Review
PAULS, January 1. - Although no color prejudice exists in France a society for the protection of the colored race has been formed here by a number of political and literary leaders, and is already receiving warm support.
The committee announces its aim thus. The preservation of the colored race, to combat calamity and prejudice, and to tighten the attachment of the Negro colonies to France. The publication of a new review is announced. "The Voice of the Negro." The editors are proclaiming that color prejudice is not to be called Negro. Subhouse I possess proficiency in the subject.

Telling It to the Marines
Making Oppression Costly
Talking Troason to Negroes
Uncle Sam's deeds in Nicaragua, his gestures off the shores of that little republic, and his threats to Mexico have but one lesson for Negroes.
Leave for the monsoon Haiti and Cuba and Panama and Liberia and the Philippines out of the picture. Here we have the most powerful republic in the world declaring, after the manner of the British and their ilk, that it must save a weak brother in spite of himself, and using its armed night to give a touch of realism to the gant. If lands mariners in a foreign country, takes sides in a civil war apparently on the side of the male-factor, is virtually at war with a friendly power without a declaration of war by the Congress ere the Sound of "Peace on earth, good-will to men" has died away.
But yesterday President Coolidge at Tronton was spandily descending on peace. Today the outside world, which, by the way, has a beam in its own eye, is yelling at him, "Shame, disturber of the peace!"
If the events in the New World in the first two weeks of 1927 are any index to the course of human events, then we can safely predict a world drenched in blood, and soon, with rivers running red where in 1914-1918 there were rivulets. For it is inconceivable and against all law of Satan (and his law ruses today) that man, hated and entiled by all, should walk into a powder house with a fire attached to his coattails and not have some one ready and eager to apply the flame.
Coolidge and Kellogg and the Mexico-baiters may be merely indulging in opera bouffe, but more than oil, we venture to think, will be required to calm the waters, once they got troubled. For this high-handed action taken against Nicaragua rooks with the ingredients of strix such as has always made the names of the authors eternally accursed.
And the lesson for Negroes. Uncle Sam's attitude toward Nicaragua is capable of but one reflection: That the time is not yet come when equity and justice and Christian dealing will rule in the affairs of nations; that the strong will still oppress the weak; that nothing counts but POWER.

As the famous Sonator from Montana asked: "Would the United States, in the case of a fancied wrong at the hands of Great Britain, have landed marines at Liverpool or Belfast?" No answer is necessary. Then why in the case of Nicaragua? Here again the answer is very apparent: Great Britain has aerplanes and guns and battleships and marines and soldiers, too, in large numbers. Nicaragua is without these things. Great Britain is strong; Nicaragua is weak. Diplomatic messages must, therefore, smooth out the differences in the case of the former; the latter must tell their troubles to the marines.
And as between nations, so between groups. The godless strong will always appress the weak. The Negro, a meagre minority in this country, must wisdom look for no better treatment from the governing majority than Uncle Sam himself hands out to his weak neighbors. To duck this thought is to deceive yourself—and self-deception is a crime against self.
It is the plain duty of the Negro to strive for nationhood, thereby to gain power and be in a position to make it as costly for another to take away from him the things he needs for himself as it would be for American or Britisher or Frenchman or German to disembark a company of marines on Japanese soil without a "by your sepoe."
How long, Negroes, how long? Here we are in the year of our Lord 1922 a steadily progressing Negro press, as we would have the thinking world understand, committing harl-karl. Here we are actually giving valuable space and scare heads to a syndicated story by a white woman, one Vera Simonton, the burden of which is that it would spell slaughter for the American Negro if he were ever to go back to his God-given land, African.
Think of an Irish newspaper printing an article by a Negro telling Irishmen to neglect the call of their native land; think of a Jewish newspaper permitting a Negro or of Colonial to occupy space to tell Jews that the primitive customs of the Arabs would be unbearable to the Jew and, therefore, Jews should not rebuild Palestine; think of a Chinese newspaper throwing its columns wide to a Negro or a Nordic to tell Chinese to keep out of China and squam the primitive Chinese hordes, who are only now achieving their national destiny, and you will be able to gauge the almost treasonable race blindness of certain members of our press.
Mrs. Vera Simonton, we are told, is the author of "Hell's Playground," from which the much-discussed play, "White Cargo," was dramatized. We promise Vera that we will read "Hell's Playground." It ought to be diverting, indeed!
Hero are Mrs. Simonton's words as reported by Miss Emma Lue Bayeet: "for Pacific Coast Bureau":
"The lines between the races are strictly drawn; there are no hotel or roaming house accommodations and, while the natives would welcome them, their primitive customs would be unbearable to the American Negro. It would be slaughter to send them there. Yes, every foot of ground in Africa is owned or claimed by some country."
Comments on this transparently emasculating screed is useless. We will only phase long enough to inquire of Mrs. Simonton if the Pilgrim Fattors were welcomed by the Indians in 1620, and if the primitive customs of the latter were unbearable to those persecuted pioneers, and what then?
STANDING UP FOR JUSTICE IN THE SOUTHLANDS From The Nation
Though the number of men of courage and of zeal for truth and justice is steadily increasing in the South, witnesses the applaud light made by R. Charlton Wright, publisher of the Columbia, South Carolina, Record, to bring about, the punishment of the lynchers who butchered the three Negroes in Alken on October 4—it is not often that a Southern man gets up before a Southern audience and says that "nightfall" talk about the beauty of Southern women and the chivalry of Southern men" cannot hide the lack of intellectual, artistic, social and political progress. Professor Edwin Mims of Vanderbilt-University spoke thus at the annual dinner of the New York Southern Society, and offered, among other reasonable sentiments, the following: "The solidarity of the South is no longer a source of pride, but a humiliation to many of its most devoted men"; "the Southern States are still at the bottom of all statistics that register actual educational conditions of this country"; "It is also true that there is not a single university in the South that has adequate resources for the highest type of graduate work"; "even in politics an increasing number of business men for the South are no longer voting one way; and praising another but are following the direction of the South." He was equally interested in

IN Georgia
WASHINGTON, January 8—In the
State of Georgia, according to the
United States Bureau of Education,
a dozen railroads and twenty-five
hospitals pre-operating with the State
Board of Health in supplying needed
medical and, surgerial attention for
rural school children of the State who
constitute 78 per cent. of the total
numer of persons five to twenty
years of age, attending school
Approximately 185,000 of these rural
school children are coldest.
Children may be taken to the nearest hospital, says the report, where they will receive care and treatment for two days at minimum rates. Railroad companies authorized half fare for the parent accompanying the child, and one-half of half fare rates for children under 12 years of age. By this plan hospital costs become disposable, it is estimated that children as it
Later marines were sent to Miamuah, the capital, and the explanation was made that this action was taken at the direct instance of the British and Italian diplomatic representatives in Nicaragua, who feared that the lives and property of their subjects were蒙受ed. Then came the White House disclosure that the United States had taken positive steps in Nicaragua because it had rights there to construct an interoceanic canal and establish a naval station. As the canal route had not even been marked out and no more toward the establishment of the naval station made, the White House statement was interpreted as a declaration that the Government feared that an authority hostile to its political interests in Nicaragua would be set up there and it was necessary to adopt protective measures accordingly.
There was a further explanation from the White House last Friday to the effect that the treaty of February, 1923, gave the United States warrant for landing armed forces on Nicaraguan soil.
The course of the Government was justified as well on the basis of what is known as the Evarts doctrine, enunciated in 1878 by William M. Evarts, then Secretary of State, to the general effect that a Government had the right to protect its nationalists and their interests in foreign terrors when the responsible authorities had the authority to do so, and that the United States Government was not solicited about the methods employed to accomplish this protection.
Opinion is rather general in Washington that is all the reasons now advanced in justification for the Administration's policy with respect to Nicaragua had been disclosed at the time our marines and bluebuckles were landed on Nicaraguan soil a public opinion more favorable to the Administration's course might have been preceded.
At matters stand now crites of the Administration in the Senate, while refusing to accept the piecemeal explanations made as justifying the activities of the United States. In Michigan, feel that when the Secretary of State appears before the Foreign Relations Committee this week the color of having been compiled instead of volunteered will be given to his state, then the committee and it will that the series of disclosures explanatory of the Administration's Nicaraguan program be put forward without previous concessions or excessive attempts to counteract crilicism.
Justice Panken, Socialist,
In a speech yesterday morning at Heenington Hall, 216 East Second street, City Court, Justice Jacob Panken attacked the Government for sending marines ashore in Nicaragua; for its attitude on the Mexican situation, and for the Treasury Department's acquiescence in the choice of adulterants for non-potable alcohols.
"I fear very much for the peace of the North American Continent," he said. "The people of this country should demand, and the members of this forum should write to the President and request him to withdraw the marines from Nicaragua."
He also criticized William Randolph Heart for proposing a league of English-speaking peoples.
"What does this league of English-speaking peoples mean?" he asked. "The agitation can have no other effect, but division within the land and antagonisms throughout the world."
Marines Mobilized
For Nicaragua:
SAN DIEGO, Cal., Jan. 9. - War-time activity hummed around the marine baso today as organization of the expeditionary battalion ordered by Brigadier General. Smedley D. Butler got under way with the assignment of officers and men to the four companies making up the unit. It was expected the battalion would be ready to proceed anywhere by tomorrow night.
Roturning mall guards began arriving at the base this afternoon for duty with the expeditionary force, which is to consist of twenty-three officers and 467 men. In all, 170 mall guards have been assigned to duty with the battalion and the other 288 men will be drawn from the local base.
Tropical kits are being issued to the man as they arrive, and from this it was considered likely that his force may be called for service in Niagara, though no orders for the movement of the battalion have as yet been received.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.—Mobilization of a "stand by" battalion of marines at San Diego, Caly, is being effected in order to have a force ready for any emergency, Major General Lepine, commander of the Marine Corps, said tonight in explaining orders assembling marines on the West Coast.
Declaring, the mobilization had no bearing on the disturbed situation in Mexico, Nicaragua and China, General Lejune said transfer of a battalion from Guantanamo to Nicaragua made it necessary to have another force available "in event of emergency." Grouping of the marines at San Jose has no special significance, he insisted, the city being their home ground.
A multitude of laws in a country is a great number of physical laws.

Foreign Papers Criticize United States For War Action in Nicaragua Republic
LONDON, Jan. 7.—Extended comments on the Nicaragua situation and the position of the United States in the controversy between the two factions are printed by the London weekly reviews.
"The whole of Central and South America," says "The Spoatator," "will be further excited against the Monroe Doctrine. The shield will be regarded as a dagger." This paper admits that the United States would not look on quietly if the Liberal faction of President Sackus, "with renewed help from Mexico, prevented the United States from making use of free锁屋s." The Nicaragua State Department "will have to Find a way out of the dilemma created by Admiral Lattimer's action" and things there can be no doubt that if President Condolege should order the unqualified withdrawal of the Amercian marines "we would discover he had done a thoroughly popular thing."
"The New Statesman" remarks that "Monroe as an instrument or method of American policy is being practically transformed by the Copley administration." It days the general situation between the United States and Latin America is of greatest interest and importance and is a situation or intrigue complexity.
Mr. Copley is cautious and pacific, it edds, "and so is fully aware that the majority of opinion in the United States is set against any form of aggressive policy in Central America.
J. S. Seen as "Imperial Power," attaching at length to the inevitable growth of the United States as an "imperial power" and its immense and continuous movement southward through rapid industrialization of the Southern States, "The New Statesman" continues:
"Nor. will it do to imagine that the southward that it beyond the Frontier can be arrested." The practical problem for the Washington government, accordingly, is a problem of Monroeism in relation to lesser American republics, and, secondly, it is a matter of diplomatic manners."
In conclusion, "The New Statesman" says that during the last decade, under the successive Secretaries of States, from Mr. Bryan to Mr. Kellogg, the State Department has undoubtedly created or intensified its difficulties in Central America.
PARIS, Jan. 7—The actions of the United States in Nicaragua have evoked united condemnation by French newspapers, reminiscent their World War unanimity. Disapproval and bitter criticism of the American policy are voiced by newspapers ranging from "L'Action Francais" and "L'Echo de Paris," on the extreme right, to the radical "Quolid'en" and the communist "Humanite," on the left. All classes join to castigate "American imperialism."
"For Christ age and potroleum," remarks L'Oeuvre "moderate radical, in describing the landing of American marines in Nicaragua." "L'Action Française" sarcastically refers to "the light of small nations to dispose of themselves." "The American imperialism of 1827, is more dangerous than Germany's was in 1814," declares "Humanite." "Americanua" troubles are driving the Chinese impregile and the Hangkow rifts on the front page. Close followers of foreign affairs assert the anti-American campaign in providing a timely diversion from discussion of France's debt to the United States.
BERLIN, Jan. 7.—Not in many months has American news occupied so much space in the German press as it has during the last few days, owing to the State Department's intervention in Nicaragua. For the time being, Germany's own internal political crisis and the overlasting question of Franco-German relations have taken back seats while the main columns of the Berlin newspapers have been devoted to the march of the marines on Managua. The cabbed stories have been supplemented by articles explaining the background and history of the presett events in Central America.
"All German Fathers Oppose Act
Washington's action gets a bad press
in this country, as every newspaper,
from the Nationalists to the Socialists,
is carrying editorials on the subject
of immigration. The Latino nation's
latest move is 'immigration.' can Naval Imperialism' is the headline
over a story appearing in the Socialist
"Warworms," while the Nationalist
"Likal-Angelizer" informs its readers
that "the policy of North America now
shows itself in its true color as a
policy of might against the independence
of small countries, which are weak
both in respect to their economic position
and military establishment."
"Gladdersdatsch," the cloverst Geranium humorist weekly, displays on its front page in the current issue a picture of Unio Sam boating a buck marked "Nicaragua," borne-on the back of an ass wearing a Mexican sombrero. "Ho Strifles the Sack and Means the Ame," reads the caption beneath, and, indeed, this represents the general assumption of the German press, while Washington is intervening in Nicaragua, its action really is directed against Mexico. Nationalist newspapers like the "Local Anziger" hopefully suggest the indignation of the South American television agent in intervention will find expression in boycott on exports from the United States. The "Local Anziger" goes so far as to argue that much a boycott would be a "moral blow" to American industries and a cause in fear of this cause of Senate opposition to the policy of intervention.
The German Nationalists, would like to see such a development because they believe that it would enable German traders to recover the markets in South America that they lost to the United States in the war. "Der Tag," another Nationalist paper, acces in the Nigerian affair a battle of defense by Central America under the leadership of Merger against Wall Street domination. Just two years ago, we said that there

the United States intervening in Nicaragua, while preaching against imperialism of European counters when one remembers that the "former history of the Union was impertinent of the clearest stamp." Paper Says Business Is Cause The liberal "Booster Counter," in leading Boston financial newspaper, in an editorial attributes the State Department's intervention to the pressure of American industrialists who with their home markets limited by the distress of the farmers, wang new markets abroad for their goods.
Meantwhile, special circles here refuse to be depressed by the agitation of the "big navy" group at Washington for more cruisers. A spokesman or the German government said there was no reason to be hesitant about the future progress of disarmament despite Representative Butler's statement that the "spirit of disarmament is dead." This authority declared that the fact that modern wars involved the whole population of a nation instead of merely the combatants would continue to make people seek ways to avert war.
'SAN JOSE, Costa Rica, Jan. 7.' The "Dirito De Costa Rica" expressed the displeasure over the return of American marines to Managua, Nicaragua, in an editorial today.
"The imperialistic 'foreign' policy pursued by Mr. Kellogg in Latin American countries," the paper says, "has caused protests by all Liberal newspapers from Mexico to Argentine Since the interests and lives of Americans and other foreigners were respected in Nicaragua, the attitude of the American State Department fails to explain, but rather hints the Frog-American sentiments voiced by Mr. Kellogg in his speeches. It also takes away from the prestige of the Monroe Doctrine."
LIMA, Peru, Jan. 1,—"Yanken intervention" in Nicaragua is ensured by the newspaper "Diario Camerico," which declares the American policy is damaging to the sovereignty of a nation which, although small, is nevertheless free.
Referring to the Tumba Africa problem, the paper declares that when the United States should have intervened to enforce provisions of the award under which a plebiscite was to be tried, it failed to do so.
"It is not then surprising," it adds, "that under the pretext of defending American interests the United States Government sends vessels and marines against an independent nation."
WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.—The Supremo Court was asked today to decide the jurisdiction of the Federal Government over State primaries.
Counsel for L. A. Nixon, a Negro of El Paso, explained that his client for years had voted regularly, the Democratic ticket, but that the election judges at El Paso had refused to permit him to participate in the primaries there after the enactment in 1923 of a law which provided that no Negroes should be permitted to vote in primaries.
Texas won in the lower Federal Courts, which held that State primaries were exempt from Federal jurisdiction. Attorney General Moody of Texas obtained permission to file a brief in thirty days, supporting the lower court in holding that a Federal judge had involved itself.
Justice Butler several times asked whether the Democratic primaries were not strictly for the purpose of selecting candidates and that the voter had the right to exercise his franchise at the general elections.
Counsel admitted this was true, but insisted that in Texas the Democratic primary was in reality the election. He asserted that unless the restriction was lifted, the South would adopt such laws and in effect disfranchise the Negroes.
Bluejackets as Maids For Duchess of York
PORTSMOUTH, Eng. Jan. 4. —Jacketlets will act as maids to the Duchess of York and her two indies-inwaiting when the battle cruiser Renown leaves here with the Duke of York for his tour of New Zealand and Australia. As women ordinarily are barred on warships, the present voyage will set a precedent in the British navy.
The Duchess two traveling companions will be the Countess of Cavan and the Honorable Mrs. John Gillmore, and there will be no female servants to look after their wants as the admiralty has decided that Sailor Jack, handman that he is, is very well qualified to run things as they should be run on the high seas. This oven includes hairdressing, Marine W. R. Udney having taken a special course to qualify for this particular task.

COOLIDGE DEFENDS NAVAL ACTION
to cover claims against the Nicaraguan Government arising from revolutionary disturbances. About $1,000,000 of such bonds are held by American citizens, and "so far as the department knows no American bankers are directly interested in the Nicaraguan indebtedness."
Foreign Bondholders,
Further discussing the financial aspects of the situation, the message said:
"There is no question that if the revolution continues American investment and business interest in Nicaragua will be very seriously affected, if not destroyed, with the result that American as well as foreign bondholders will rely upon America for the prosecution."
It is true that the United States did not establish the financial plan by any treaty, but it nevertheless did aid through diplomatic channels and adhere in the negotiations and establishment of this plan for the financial rehabilitation of Nicaragua."
"The message also recalled that when the United States asked other States to co-operate in an embargo on the shipment of arms and ammunition to Nicaragua, Mexico did not respond.
"The Mexican Government did not adopt the suggestion to put on an embargo," said Mr. Coolido, "but informed the American Ambassador at Mexico City that in the absence of manufacturing plants in Mexico for the making of arms and ammunition, the matter had little practical importance."
A Low-Down Kind of War
We are at war in Venezuela. It is nonsense to call our intervention a step for "projection of American lives and property." It is war-unauthorized by Congress, unjustified by any principle of international law or custom, unknown to the American people and a low-down, bullying kind, of war." President Díaz, the ex- secretary of an American mining corporation, could not hold office by himself. Our State Department recognized him; our marines guarded the ports for him; Americans collected the customs for him; American fleets in American airships chased his en route for him; Washington, in denounced his response, the constitutional President, F. A. Russo, a Mexican-ridden Bolivian S. Díaz tattoled. His chief aide, Chamorro, deserted the sinking ship, badly Adalay, the American naval base in Venezuela's capital, Puerto Cabas; declared the city and all the country about it. a neutral song; ordered Sacase, his ministers and army, to disarm or got out instructed the American mughogans companies to pay tariffs due to Díaz agents rather than to the Sacase men who held the town. To prove his neutrality" he announced that he would also disarm any Díaz soldiers who tried to return to the city, from which they had been driven. Neutrality? Protection? It is imperialism of the most brazen cast.-Nation Magazine.
FEAR
BY GEORGE MATTHEW ADAMS
The greatest bugaboo in this life is fear.
We probably are born with its taint because of the generations in which fear has been taught to human beings, but there is nothing natural about it at all.
Most of our fears we acquire through ignorance on our part.
Analyze, any fear, do what you
Analyze any fear and what do you
get? Nothing or substance at all.
got? Nothing of substance at all.
There is nothing constructive about fear, therefore all fear should be removed as early as possible from all consideration.
George Konnion, the great Russian traveler and lecturer, once stated that he seemed to be born with a whole circulating system of fear. And so he set out to consider it. As a reporter in Cincinnati he used to go into the most dangerous parts of the city where he saw all manner of crime committed before his very eyes. He went where fear was uppermost that he might defy it! It was this training on his part that enabled him later to go through the most dangerous and trying experiences—without fear.
The basis for all happiness is grounded on the fear to decide for that which you feel to be right.
Nothing softens character as does fear.
Just the minute that you say to yourself, "I am not afraid," you bolster every fiber in your being, you gooeth every nerve, you unroll every obstruction of cells in your brain and regulate into even, healthy hearts every drop of blood that runs its way through your heart.
"Go to bed at night without fear is to go to a sure rest." To arise in the morning, without fear is to face life armored with courage and faith. The most restful and helpful person in this world is he who does not fear!

Sacasa, Liberal Leader, States His Case And Assails Methods of U. S. Marines
PUBINITO CABEKAS, Nicaragua, Jan. 9.—I gladly reply to your radiogram. For better comprehension of the Nicaraguan problem and in order that the American people may be fully informed, I will make a fair and brief narration of the facts. On Jan. 1, 1925, Sonar Carlos Solorzang and the undersigned took the oath of office as President and Vice-President, respectively, in conformity with the popular election of the previous year. On the 8th of October of the same year General Chamorro took hold of the Mauang fortress through treason, which not determined the resignation of President Solorzang.
The Nicaraguan Constitution establishes that increase of the absolute or temporary absence of the President the executive power goes into the hands of the Vice-President, but Chamorro persecuted the, employing violence to the point of obliging me to leave the country and having himself elected President by a discredited Congress—that is, with the omission of Liberal representatives.
Not Recognized by Latin Republics
Central American Governments,
compliance with the Washington
treaties of 1922, expressly declared
non-recognition of the Chamorro Gov-
ernment, and the American Gov-
ernment, gummator of said compact,
declared through Secretary of State
Kollogi and the American Legation in
Nicaragua* they qualified the Nicaraguan cag, as a question of princi-
palism, and that, for that reason, the
constitutional order disturbed by the
subservient movement headed by Cinamaro, and that, the Washington treaties, which guaranteed peace in Central America, would be faithfully upheld.
After some men's Chamorro mining it impossible to obtain American recognition and popular Mexican acceptance, handed his power to Senator Sebastian Uriz, who in turn resigned the same favor to Senator Adolfo Diaz.
The Presidencies of Chamorro, Uriz and Diaz, are equally vitiated. Neither stands on a constitutional basis. Moreover, the Washington compact, sponsored by the United States, office the Central American signatory States to non-recognition of a Government that originates from a "coup d'etat" or revolution against a recognized Government, and these conventions are the same, Secretary Kellogg informed, would be observed, sponsored as they were by his Government.
Links Diaz to Coup d'Etat
Nevertheless, Diaz has not only been recognized, but supported effusively, notwithstanding his being one of the principal organizers of said "coup d'etat".
Guatemala and Costa Rica remain faithful to the contracts, retaining to recognize Diaz, but the State Department, in spite of the preclear declaration it had made that the case was a question of principle and not of persons, has recognized him. Diaz incites constitutional support and the Washington compacts invalidate him, having as his only support influential New York bankers connected with a group of Nicaraguan traders. The responsibility of intervention affords the prestige of the American Government, while the yield of each intervention favors the exploiters. During the whole of Diaz's former Administration a body of American marines remained at Managua protecting his inappropriacy. Today there are again at Managua American forces to protect him against the people.
In compliance with my duty, after exhausting all pacific means during the long negotiations in Washington and Central America and a fruitless peace conference at Cotinio, while we fruitlessly proposed to submit our civil discord to the arbitration of Washington and of the Central American Governments, I landed at Puerto Cabozas, organizing my cabinet for the re-establishing of constitutional order interrupted by Chamorro and Dias.
But the movements of my Government are daily obstructed by the American Analsis Methods of Marines
On Dec. 23 murines were landed at Rio Grande and Puerto Cabozas. Here I was notified to disarm my guard after surrounding the Government Building, monching the same, with cannon ashore and by the ships Donver and Cloeland. The alternative was to deliver my arms or abandon the town.
My Government remain here armed in order to signify by its presence its right and possession. Hostility is manifest. My Government is impeded in collecting imports on timber in places under its control which in no way affects the American Government or its creditors, since said imports are not comprohended in the financial plan. I am obstructed in providing combustibles, and even provisions. Indeed, an unheard of not! The auxiliary schooner Albert, my only means of communication, was ordered, away and a censorship established against me, thus leaving me isolated from my army, and the world. Letterly, through the noble efforts of the American press, the censorship has been removed. The neutral zones established have only served to protect Diaz and are hostile to my Government.
"Today I received advice from Rio Grande that a detachment of marines throw into the river about 2,000,000 cartridges exclusively our property, thus dripping us of important values with the purpose, undoubtedly, of weakening my body. Buick a preceded no precedent-between nations at peace. However, in spite of this obstruction, which favor Diaz, our force continue advancing, having obtained, first at Pearl Lagoon and then in the interior, two great victories that cost Diaz 1,000,000 guns and 500,000 cartridges, and two strong columns of fire we almost totally destroyed

There has been a mantifost determentation to accuse me of nourishing designs of changing the social order in a common campaign with Mexico. Said propaganda denounces my wicked intentions and seems simply absurd to those acquainted with my antecedents and ideas. In order to our amusement, I purchased it in the United States previous to the embargo, those and afterward from wherever we could get it without compromising any nation of Government.
No Threat to Canal Rights
Allusion has been made latterly to American canal interests in order to explain the landing of forces, while in no manner nor such interests minced. I have declared that my Government is a government of order and of request. For our interest, the same government has repeatedly been made by the Liberal Party, that supports me, especially in reference to the canal.
Those being no just cause for the landing of forces, apparent regions are alleged. There is no record in Nicaraguan history of any offense against an American diplomat, not even during anomalous times. The Nicaraguan people are civilized, respect the rights of others, and demand their own rights.
As a continental nation and by the fundamental principles of humanity and democracy nourished by the United States this nation is highly regarded. All legislatures are torn from banding applications that utilize national diplomacy for their own profits.
My earnest desire is for cooperation and open friendship with the United States—a political and honest commercial friendship that will benefit both Nicaragua and the United States. Thus American continental prestige will grow, otherwise it will be feared but not loved. I will trust that President Coolidge will do justice to Nicaragua.

Missionary Work in Africa
WASHINGTON. January 8. —The recent proposal, made by prominent colored Baptist clergymon, that all of the Baptist, conventionals should combine their foreign missionary work and clear through the Lott Carey Foreign Missionary Society, has occasioned considerable comment, most of which, especially from the viewpoint of the layman, is favorable to the proposal: It is claimed, by those who are familiar with missionary affairs, that the Lott Carey organization is recognized as the most efficient agency engaged in this work because it concentrates upon and is dedicated to that particular result. The result of such a merger would be to overload expenses and prevent a duplication of effort in the foreign field, a duplication that is not understood by the benigned brother in "Darkest Africa." Who assumes, correctly or incorrectly, that nil colored Baptists are one in purpose, in aim and in name.
In order to effect such a merger, it would be necessary to hold a joint meeting of all the foreign mission boards and each board should be clothed with plenipotentiary power for this purpose by the several conventions. By those who are advocating this business-like arrangement, it is beloved that the only objection to the plan would come from certain officials of the several foreign mission boards who glory of station, satisfaction with salaries, and pride of conventional affiliations exceeds their interest in the laudable work of extending the torche of Christianity and civilization to their brethren in Africa—C.P.B.

The sailors fixed bayonets to their rifle but did not fire a shot. When the cooler mob became threatening the sailors dispersed the Chinese. One of the sailors was injured on his own bayonet during the demonstration, and two others were beaten by long poles in the hands of the Chinese. All three were taken to the hospital.

The acquisition of six mountain hybrids—The Queen of Shoba's apte-lope" by the Abysinian expedition of the Field Museum, Chicago Daily News and North American Newspaper Alliance, was announced in a dispatch received from the party, now in the wilds of the Gugu Mountains of Western Abysinina. The accomplishment is the most important out of its kind since the Roosevelt party brought skins of the owl poll out of the Himalayas. Only two museums in the world possess specimens of the rare animal. The Abysinian party secured three bulbs and three does within a few days after making camp near Mount Abbasso in the Gugu Mountains. When the dispatch was started back to civilization members of the party hoped to secure a fawn to complete a group for the Field Museum.
Alfred M. Bainy, assistant to Dr. Wilfred Oggood, the leader of the expedition, and Jack Baum, correspondent of The World and the North American Newspaper Alliance, were the first, to obtain specimens, each bringing down a doo the day camp was made.
The party also reported that if had been successful in acquiring skins of many other animals and rare birds.

WHITE IMPERIALISTS ALARMED AT BACKBONE OF EDUCATED NATIVES SEE DANGER IN EUROPEANIZATION
(From the Gold Coast Times)
"The Europenization of the African" has become the stoke-phrase of those nervous, white imperialists interested in the political and economic exploitation of Africa. And, the form is now frequently employed because it is a battle that easily attracts section of the British public to whom its use is as effective as the waging of a red rag before a bull. It is, indeed, a form of political-bull-baiting with which-white administrators and other work upon the tender feelings of deaf-kind Kuwaiti compatriots in Africa and is disposed to take all what he is told of Gospel truth. It is, therefore, necessary to examine how far it is true that the African is being Europenized, the direction in which he is being denationalized, and the forces at work.
As we had occasion to remark a few weeks back, it is inevitable that in its contact with an allow face an aboriginal race should absorb to a certain extent the new culture with which it has been brought in touch, and all that is necessary in this circumstance is for the native to guard against absorbing more than it is desirable for this societ- and political constitution, by creating itself, and there is scarcely a historical instance in which one race find-subdued, or by some other means assumed the supremacy over another without impressing the subdued race with its civilization When the Romans overran Europe they spread their civilization in the continent, with the result that the subdued natives became so onnaoured of the new culture

that they were wont to look with disdain upon their own civilization. And so to the instructed and unbanded European mind it would seem natural that the African should be impressed with the Western civilization with which he has been brought into touch, and enlightened white people, whose judgment, has not been warned by excessive racial prejudice or too long residence in the tropics, will appreciate the nature of the man, and preserve the many features of his civilization from outside infiltrations. But, thanks to his innate conservation, the African has by no means, wholly failed in his effort to preserve his civilization as has been made out by the selfish and negrate white people who profess concern for the security of native institutions, while actually working to break up native customs and traditions.
The truth of the matter is that between the European and the African, there is a conflict of view as to when a native is Europeanized. When the white man refers to the "Europeanized native" he means the type of native who has developed to the stage at which he cannot be "controlled" or exploited by the class of white men who come to Africa with the strange notion that they have a divine right to control, rather than to assist and to exploit, instead of working with the African in the common task of promoting the greatest happiness of the greatest number. To this class of Europeans, among whom are often colonial governors, the type of African that appeals is the primitive native—the Fran-Fras, Konkomhas and the Dagombas of the northern territories of the Gold Coast, and the natives in the Nassarawa Province of northern Nigeria, for example. Immediately the African crosses the border of his primitive life and emerges into the light of modern civilization he becomes "Europeanized" in the eyes of the class of white man allied to. Let the African remain unloved, cruel and timid, and he is quite all right in the view of these white people who pay the same pet dogs and other dumb animals. Let the same African rise above the primitive level; let him qualify, as a harmless doctor or engineer, or acquire proficiency in some profession or trade in which he could compete successfully with the white man and he becomes "Europeanized and unconscionably begs to haunt the white man as a wretch, for the natural aspiration of the white man in the dependencies, particularly the official element. Is that the black man might remain always ignorant or only have sufficient intelligence to occupy and ordinate positions below them?

But the original intention of the white man was not the production of anything else—that is, third and service race of natives whose whole conduct could be regulated by their white overrovers. We are quite sure that if he had succeeded in producing a class of literate natives—lawyers, doctors, engineers, and others—who could take the highest qualifications in British institutions and yet remain service in their disposition toward the white man, we would not hear of the "Europeanized African." What is worrying white-colored administrators and others whose obsession is the exploitation of African is not, so much the amount of learning which black men are absorbing as the moral power—and the independence of character which they develop with the acquisition of knowledge. If the African can acquire a sound education, either at home or abroad, and yet remain timid, quivering like an asperge in the presence of a white cinder and returning from crècheing—the conduct of administration and pointing out the shortcomings of white ones, the term "Europeanized African" would seem fall into disuse.
Cause of Nervousness.
The shiver of the white skin is caused by the rising tide of color, by the growing knowledge and intelligence of the colored peoples who are regarded by the whites as their prospective competitors in all spheres of human activity. And the prospect of the colored peoples coming in to contest the political and economic positions of long monopolized business of the white race accounts for the nervousness of colonial governments in developing educational policies and establishing a university, conquest to edit the minds of the native order to produce, if possible, a sense of Africans who, whatever knowledge they absorb, will remain timid and service in their attitude towards white men and will not question the questionable acts of administrators and others. It is clear, therefore, that in the white man's concept, the "Europeanized African" is the type of native who has the training that makes it difficult to be the man of the race. Neoliberal to the contrary, is not the view of the natives themselves who do not hold this a "native" if "Europeanized" by virtue of his education or by qualifying for a profession. On the contrary they literate the literate native as a valuable asset to the country, and they are, conscious of the fact—that but for the efforts of the well educated native the white man would have taken the country from the people and reduced them to the miserable strata in which their more fortunate brethren find themselves in other parts of the African continent. It is the so-called "Europeanized African" that has helped to save the country for the race, and it is with the knowledge of his value as a national asset that our people are continually sending their children to the secondary schools at home and to the universities abroad.
On the other hand while grazing the "Europeanization of the African" and manifesting, solicitude for the security of native-customs and institutions, we find the government denationalizing the natives in several directions—even amidst the protest of the people. It is a large subject and, we cannot deal with it here in all its aspects; but we may remark in passing upon the fostering of the military spirit in the schools by the introduction of a farm of drill with hand music which cannot but create in the rising generation the spirit of militarism which is now admitted to be, the course of Europe, and more so on the insistence of our children attending, school in European outfit. All who gave the best, knowledge of human psychology know that the most effective means of impossing the human mind is by working through the senses of sight and hearing, and this is the inner meaning of the use of ritual in religious worship.
Now if you impel our young people to disdare their native garb and to attend school in European dress, what sort of impression is likely to be created on their minds than that their native habit, is unsuitable for them and only fit for a savage race? That is the impression which the government is creating on the minds of the thousands of schoolboys who are now compelled to attend school in "uniform dress" and who, in after school life will become an acustomed to the use of European dress that they will abandon the native cloth altogether even at bedtime, and retire in shopping, suits. Our girls, too, are nowfiddled to appear in school in cloth and cover shoulder, a form of dress, more suited to their physique and as a tropical wear, and are required to attend in European dress, which leads to the adoption of expensive fashions with the creation of tastes that often lead the young, people into temptations. This is the real "Euroenpanization" - driving the people to forsake their natural mode of life and to adopt European fashions - but not the training in the arts and sciences.
Changing Native Constitution:
But the government has not continued its activities in connection with the "Europeanizing" of the natives to the matter of dress or of fostering the spirit of militarism among the rising generation. In his address at the last session of the Congress, he excellently the Governor declared that the institution of provincial colonies was intended either to prevent or to arrest the "Europeanization" of the race, and this is another glaring example of how government schemes operate contrary to its professions.

government knows that the provincial councils, whochry it is, proposing to enlarge the power of the chiefs beyond the limit prescribed by native customary laws, are whoish foreign to the nature of the native constitution which is essentially democratic. The government admits the foreign nature of these councils, but urges that native institutions are subject to change. Now, what is the change. Which the government is introducing into our tribal system of government by the institution of provincial councils? It is nothing less than the enacting of the constitutional restraints which the people of this country impose on their own rulers. It is the introduction of the dessionism from which Europe has not even now quite succeeded in enambling itself. And when the government talks of the "Europeanizing of the African", and at the same time tampers with native institutions and introduces European despotism of the former Prussian and Russian type into democracies, native constitutions, we feel like taking the liberty of doubling its sincerity. We feel that the government is doing a very harmful thing by the institution of provincial councils, and though it is an uneven contest in which might be ranged against right, we should fight consistently against this monstrous propensity against the creation and harbor of chitos beyond the influence and control of those beyond it, and them their stoops—until they have removed this evil thing from the land.
The mission of the race has been captured in its casual tales more than in its pardonable philosophies. Yesterday I came upon a passing reference to a truth-laden tale that deserves endless retelling.
The King of this ancient legend, was
struck with y subornbull illness.
The learned men of medicine could diagnose but could not dismiss his sickness. When the inadequate science of his time had failed him, the King was advised that he could find a-sure-healing; only by wearing the shirt of a really happy man. Despair had magic the King credulously, that he would happen, so whole areas to whole areas as well as to individual men and women. All his retainers, from lackey to Lord Chancellor, were sent in search of a really happy man.
At the end of an almost endless exploration they found a damp man, but, to their dismay, he had no shirt.
This is good reading for citizens of a prosperous and productive time.
It is no easy matter to keep autumn's happiness in its rightful perspective.
From the ancient savan man to the modern Communist, humanity has been working its way, now slowly and now swiftly, toward four major objectives—food, clothing, shelter and spiritual adventure.
The questing minds that drafted our Declaration of Independence meant this four things when life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness are listed as eight of man.
And I suspect that the pursuit of happiness takes in all the other factors.
By and large, for most of us, happiness is dependent upon our having our bodies fed and clothed and sheltered and our minds, challenged to some satisfying adventures.
Most of us cannard, like Diogenes, live in a tub with truths or only companion.
Most of us are not spiritually equal to the life of creative deity by which St. Francis forget himself into immortality. If we tried it, we should probably turn out as quite ordinary tramps.
We are in bondage to our bank balances; we are chained to our machines; we are committed to quantity production; we should find it hard to be happy without a shirt.
Our problem is to keep the spiritual sensitiveness of a St. Francis in the midst of platy; to maintain the passion for truth and honor of a Diogenes in the midst of massive factories and in the warmth of imposing homes.
If we can be big enough to be happy without a shirt, there is no reason why we should not have a shirt of the most exquisite fabric.
The materialism of our time does not consist in things, but in our slavery to things.
Says Jazz Immoral And Wrecks Youth
CHICAGO, Jan. 4. — Popular dance music is doing more to wreck the moral nature of youth than any other single factor, Ambrosio Wyrick, tenor, told Chicago Kiwanslans today. "Music is potentially the most destructive of all forms of human expression," he said. "Put a word of double meaning into the sway of a song and within of a week Its influence is spread throughout the country. Practically all our dance music is evil in expression and is bringing moral destruction to the nation."
NASHVILLE, Tenn., Jan. 6. Reports of increasing interracial good will and of the steadily improvement of conditions featured the annual meeting of the State fiscal Committee held here yesterday. Representative men and women to the number of twenty-five were present from all parts of the State, without a dissenting voice expressing gratification with the progress, made and maintained uniformly for the future. Especially striking were the reports of improved school facilities for Negroes, including the building of many new Rosewood schools, stimulated largely through the efforts of Robert E. Clay, or Brisstey, secretary of the colored division. Tithe was much favorable comment also on the fine co-operative spirit manifested in Nashville during the recent flood which drove some eight thousand people from their homes, many of them colored. It was worked out that the two groups had worked together to prevent the flood災害, and that the relief measures, for which $50,000 was contributed by the community, were carried out with scriptural zolarness, with the recommendations made by the group was one suggesting to the city administration that in rehabilitating the flooded areas steps be taken to improve radically many of the housing conditions from which the poorer colored families have suffered.
The committee pledged itself to work for a school for foeblinded Negroes, and recommended that local committees throughout the State seek to provide proper recreational facilities for colored children, since such facilities "serve as a great crime deterrent, as well as a promoter of good health." All the churches and religious groups were admonished to give more attention to the cultivation of interracial good will as a religious duty. Gratitude was expressed for the support given to me for my work in the newspaper of the State, and particularly for their vigorous editorials against lynching. Will W. Alexander, director of the general interracial commission, was present and made a strong appeal for the final eradication of lynching pointing out the part which the pulpit, the press, and individuals might play in bringing this about.
Among the prominent colored leaders present were Bishop I. E. Scatt, Prof. W. J. Hale, Dr. J. A. Lester, Dr. G. W. Roman, and Mrs. M. A. Crosthwaite, of Nashville, Dr. R. T. Burt, of Clarkville, Prof. C. L. McAllister, of Chattanooga, and R. E. Clay, of Bristol.

HACKENSACK, N. J., Dec. 30—Old age was given as the reason for disbanding the James B. McPheron Post of the G. A. R. with the ending of the current year, according to an announcement that the post would give up its charter. The post, which was established forty-five years ago, now has five members. Duo to their advanced years they have not had a meeting since June. The regulations of the organization require that each member meet one meeting per month, with three members in attendance, to retain a charter. The commander is Augustus McKinney, who served with a New York regiment but moved here after the club war.

THE eyes of the world are focused on China, anxiously watching her efforts to throw off foreign parasites and crush her militarists, who are the tops of foreign interests. The Nationalists are sweeping everything before them, which has forced the white, powerful nations who exploited China for years to change from, and treat with them or be driven out of the country altogether.
The Chinese have been an easy-going, docile people all these years, with the result that powerful nations assumed control of sections of her territory, and treated the natives in the most brutal manner. Familiar signs in the parks of the foreign colonies read "Chinese and dogs not allowed." Now the tables have turned and the Chinese cry is "Kill the foreign dogs!" And what has brought this change about? Briefly it is this. The docile Chinaman has at last woke up to the game of occidental civilization, and realizes that force rules the world and might is right. Therefore he has acquired force—airplanes, bombs, guns, trained soldiers, etc., and so the blackhawks become masters and indiscriminate right.
is on the highway to become mighty and indefensible. The
Senator Borah, Chairman of the United States Senate Foreign
Relations Committee, makes the following comment on the situation:
The spirit of nationalism is fast laying hold upon the hearts and minds of 400,000,000 people-not nationalism as it has always existed there, but nationalism as Western nations have practiced and taught it. This is a fact which foreign powers are reluctant to admit.
China for the Chinese has come to be the battle cry of that vast, seething sea of humanity. It is particularly and especially the cry of the young and coming generation.
This spirit of nationalism was augmented and stressed, by the World War, and it is today the most tremendous fact in the life of the Chinese people, a people who constitute one-fourth of the population of the earth and occupy an area larger than that of the United States.
"National feeling in China will compel respect. FOUR HUNDRED MILLION PEOPLE IMBUED WITH THE SPIRIT OR INDEPENDENCE AND OF NATIONAL INTEGRITY ARE IN THE END INVICIBLE-THERE IS NO POWER WHICH CAN MASTER THEM OR HOLD THEM IN SUBJECTION. Warships and gatling guns and dead students may mislead some, but the forces which determine the actions of empires and great nations lie deeper."
There are 560,000,000 people in China, 160,000,000 more Asian Senator Borah's estimate, but which makes his argument in their favor stronger, for the more the merrier.
In the latter part of his statement the senator is emphatic in his opinion that "400,000,000 people imbued with the spirit of independence and of national integrity are in the end inincible." This is exactly the idea of Hon. Marcus Garvey in preaching nationalism, unity and independence among the Negroes of the world, as a solution for their miserable condition. That's why the Universal Negro Improvement Association is determined to organize the 400,000,000 Negroes under one God, with one Aim, working toward one Destiny. We know very well that no human agency can stop the progress of so many people when they are imbued with the seriousness and expquency of having a homeland of their own, governed by themselves.
Negroes are lynched, burned alive and mistreated all over the world by other races, but the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association are dedicated to the founding of a government—strong and powerful—that will lead prestige to the humblest Negro in any part of the world he may be domiciled. As the Japanese government protects the much disliked Japanese in foreign countries; even so Negroes are determined to have a government, to protect members of their race. This is a fact which white governments must face, as we are in dead earnest, and no intimidation or persecution will make us turn back.

laws, and people who have business dealings with others must take the time and trouble to protect: themselves.
One reason why it is more imperative than over-earn that you "put your rights in writing" is because there is an increasing amount of business transacted, between strangers; also we are called upon to deal with agents so frequently, and are serious quite sure just how much authority these persons have. Of course it doesn't always protect you to have an agent put his promises down in writing, but every honest and business-like agent will either modify the contract according to your agreement with him, or also admit that he doesn't have the authority. It is well to remember that an agent's promises are worthless if he doesn't have authority to put them into the contract with his company.
This is not to recommend that you put every single dealing you have into the form of a written contract. In many cases, it really is not worth the trouble. But in every case in which you have a written agreement, like a lease, or a guarantee of some sort, it should specify very clearly every point or understanding" which you consider important—National Notes.

To the Lady Presidents of all Divisions:
We are urging upon you to immediately call the women of your Division together and organize your nurse department. Those that are organised should make a great effort to increase their membership.
This is one of the most useful auxiliaries in our organization, and an avenue through which much good can be done. Look in your Constitution on page 77, section 2-3, also read carefully all the rules governing this department and there you will learn of the great benefit to be derived from this auxiliary when it is properly conducted.
Instructions as to costumes and uniforms can be obtained by writing to the Nurse Department, Universal Negro Improvement Association, office of the SecretaryGeneral. It is our earnest desire that these departments be immediately put in action everywhere, and it is the special duty of the Lady President, who is matron of the nurses, to do this.

NOTES OF INTEREST
Britain Somersaults
In China
Great Britain has stirred up a lot of excitement with her note advertising a more liberal treatment of the Chinese in the matter of customs tariff and treaty - revision. Washington is uncomfortably pleased. Paris is happily shoptheological. Tokyo is frankly unorthuscular. Moscow is pondering her next move. And China is all a flutter.
The British note is in itself a result of the success of the Cantonese anti-British strike, haystack and general agitation. It is a recognition of the futility from the British point of view of any further attempts to coerce China into doing the blinding of the powers.—H. K. Norton.
Home and Business Career for Women
At one of the big women's colleges they have established a chair now to study the question that is troubling and puzzling so many hundreds of American women, the question of how to adjust, the alarms of the family, the beloved children and husband and home, and yet get on with the professional or business life, that is necessary for several reasons. It is business life isn't necessary, that it is ridiculous for women to ponstripe into the professional world, that home and babies and gardens and kitchen and neighbors are her natural sphere. It's too late for that—about thirty years too late, and it's getting later every minute—Kathleen Norrix.
We, parents, teachers and citizens,
must remember always that our bright
children are the greatest hope of the
future. We want to bring them up
so that they shall be—not one-sided
bookworms, not show-ones, not badly
clocks with the brains of a sol-
cientist, not lazy, never-do-wells, with
wasted mental habitats, not brilliant
people, not well-encouraged primes—no,
none of them well-educated. We are
common in our quiet days, when we
ward children quietly, possess more
attention and study than superior
ones. We want well rounded, responsible,
eager, happy efficient men and
women who are equipped to take their
rightful places as the natural leaders
of their times.—Edna Mann.
Discouragement May Be
Prelude to Success
Bansyu, an ordinary, simple-minded man, was put in 'jail for his opinions', they wrote "Pilgrim's Progress", and made his name, what we call "immortal", which means that it will be remembered a century or two longer. Shakti space, poncher and moer-do-well in his little village, was driven to London, held hurries for a penny in front of the theatre, acted, wrote plays and died without knowing his own greatness. He really will live.
Napoleon himself after he had been an anion in the French army for years, thought of suicide at once time and at another of marrying an elderly widow for easy living. He lived to keep kings waiting in his anion-room. Over and over discouragement has been impelled to success. No man is a failure until he admits himself a failure. No man's chance is dead until his will power is dead. And even then you can't be sure it may come to life—N. Y. Amorican.

SHORT SKIRTS TO STAY
Continuation of the vogue for short skirts for an indocean period was predicted here during the past week by a prominent, ready-to-wear manufacturer, this prediction is based, he said, on the refusal of American women to follow spandola attempts on the part of style, creators, to bring back longer ones.
"Women prefer short skirts to long ones for a number of reasons," he continued. "One of them is that they are a bit daring and by wearing them a number of women express a modern urge that mounts faster than other women. In the form of drinking and smoking. Given in the small places, where for any woman to be known as a drinker or smoker means social ostracism, the short skirt is passed by the local Mrs. Grundys with hardly more than a skirt. In fact, some of these soft-applied censors of community morals are not above wearing short skirts themselves.
"In addition to this, short skirts give greater freedom of movement than long ones and my wife tells me that they are not comfortable. The natural reason why women them, however, strikes deeper than that. It is that they old materially in giving the thing through which owners of beauty shops and the cosmetic manufacturers are rapidly getting rich—the illusion of youth.
"It is true that many women who wear short skirts in simulaiton of young girls really make themselves ridiculous, but, you couldn't make one of them bellove it even if you had the courage to say so. They think short skirts give up this state of mind with that of those women to whom short skirts do give the appearance of youth, and women who wear long skirts will be 'out' for a long time."
New Japanese Mikado to Strive fgr Same Great
TOKIO, Japan, Jan. 3.—The new Emperor of Japan, in a statement to the people on his ascension to the throne, has declared that he will follow the same policies that he "illustrious proclaimed" last year.
"It is our resolve to observe the fundamental rules of state, cultivate our inherited virtue and maintain integrity the glorious tradition set by our ancestors," he said.
He said he would "unite the efforts of the whole empire in promoting the solidarity of the nation, in strengthening still further the foundation of the national existence and security, forever the prosperity of our people to the end and that the brilliant work of the imperial restoration may shed fresh hunter."
The emperors must progress and improve, he declared.

HAIR DRESSING
[From The New Republic]
The weakest point in the machinery of the League of Nations is the mandate system. Originally it was established to accord with the now respectability which the adjunct of the League was supposed to bring into the relationship between the great power and the "unwaived people"; but the practical workings have—died briefly from the older form of colonial holdings. The case of the Syrian mandate, held by France, is the most notorious illustration of this. The efforts of the Syrians to bring their case before the world were thwarted by the policy of permitting complaints from the subject people to come to the League's attention only through the mandatory power—which is about like the army rule that a private can only complain of infidels by a bluntent, through making the lautentant himself to appeal to the captain about it.
Should Appear in Person
The injustice of this has at least become so apparent that the Mandates Commission has itself proposed that it future representatives of the inhabitants of the mandated territory should be allowed to appear in person and state their grievances.
To this suggestion the reply of the British government has just been published. It rejects the suggestion in terms of coldest disapproval. It regards the existing machinery as entirely adequate. The view of his Majesty's government, it adds, "that there are the gravest objections to the grant of any form of audience by an advisory Commission of the League to petitioners who are either themselves inhabitants of a territory administered by his Majesty's government or mandated to or are petitioning on behalf of petitioners in territories.
It has, never been found necessary to grant audiences to petitioners either for the purpose of concluding their petitions, or for the purpose of acquolating the matters with which any petition does. It would appear that in any case in which after examination of a written petition the Mandate Commission finds itself unable to make a definite recommendation to the Council, its proper course would be to request the mandatory now concerned to turnup or to obtain from the petitioners such further information as it requires. In other words, let the League ask France to find out from the Syrians whether she has been acting with unexempted ority and injustice in their country, and if so report to that effect. We submit that this policy is unworthy of the British government, or any honest government. It is a continuation of the "damned piggar" theory of dealing with the inhabitants of the mandated territory, and the longer it is continued, the more troublesome it will be.

DELIRIN, Jan. 1, 1919. Who will be the first, woman to fly over the North Poles? Is it the interesting challenge to the fair sex nai made by Dr. George Worcester, president of the Berlin College of Commerce. At the Association of the International Society for the Exploration of Arctic Regions by Abraham Dr. Worcester, pointed out that the only sections of the globe upon which no woman ever has sat foot are the regions around the poles.
The altar has made the almost impenetrable polish, solitude accessible, said, Dr. Wagner, and in an ago in which women were showing their daring in numerous fields, he解救ed a woman who would reach either pole. Then waxing poetical, the professor observed:
"When once the delicate sole of woman's foot shall press its imprint upon the hub of the universe, we shall have visible evidence of the fact that woman indeed rules the world."
The shocker then proposed a toast to the first woman to reach the North or South Pole.
ISN'T IT TRUE?
Law gets more people into trouble than it gets out.
Few men work as hard as they lead their wives to believe.
The man who shows common sense is anything but common.
We still have smart-aleks, but now we call them go-getters.

Mr. Charles Johnson, another energetic young man, member of the trustee board, also delivered a remarkable discourse. The president's message was read by Mr. W. H. Abingdon, second vice-president.

The program was interspired with several selections by the choir. The president, Hon. S. A. Haynes, delivered a brilliant discourse on the brazen attempt to head off the association in its African program. Owing to a severe blizzard which swept the city the night program was brief. It consisted of the reading of Mrs. Garvey's timely editorial on "Why the Desire to Destroy Garvel," two selections by the choir and remarks by the president.
A special membership meeting was held on Tuesday, January 4. This being the first meeting in the new year a large attendance was on hand, several old members coming back into the fold. Communications from the parent body announcing the visit of the acting president general on January 12, 13 and 14, and the international organizer on January 19 and 20, were received for necessary action. Everything will be done to make the visit of these officials a success. The feature of the meeting was the reading of his annual message, covering the financial and general activities of the decision for 1926, by the president. The message pointed out that all outstanding liabilities have been wiped out, the property, insured for three years against loss by fire and the morale of the membership remains intact. Urging greater support for the parent body and the division, the president closed his brilliant message with a plan for more cooperation, friendship and harmony, and a priceless appreciation of the ideals we serve. This report was loudly applauded. The president then reed a communication sent to the acting president general and the Hon. Marcus Garvey outlined his two years' activities and giving two cardinal reasons for tendering his resignation. But when he announced that the communication brought no reply from the two administrators there was a wild outburst of applause. From the testimonies of the membership, especially the old members of the division, it is evident that drastic efforts will be made to retain the president whose regime has been the most remarkable in Pittsburgh. New officers elected were Rev. Zobede Green, first vice president, and Mrs. Mildred Johnson, general secretary.

Since 1921 the U. N. I. A. has been regular in giving dolls to many of the poor of Kingston and Lower St. Andrew. This year, through the efforts of a committee of ladies and gentlemen appointed by the Rev. S. M. Jones, president, of the association, we have been able to do much betterwork. Circulars asking for donations were sent out to several prominent officials and other gentlemen, and collecting lists were given to several of our members. The following amounts were received:
Hon. A. K. DauCosta. £1 ls; Hon. H. M. Vera's. £1 ls; 11h Hon. Mr. Justice Brown. 10s; Mrs. W. E. Wilson. 5s; Mr. Joseph Francis. 10s; Mr. G. Ferris. 2s; Mr. L. P. Fernandez. 10s; Mr. Alex Sterling. 2s; Mr. David Morgan (Coll). 12s; 3d: Miles M. Tilman (Coll). 2s; Mr. W. Ashley (Coll). 11s; Mrs. G. Jones (Coll). 10s; Mrs. L. B. Alkin (Coll). 7s, 6d; Msg. Beatrice Murphy (Coll). 17s, 3d: Mrs. C. Simpson (Coll). 12s; Mrs. H. B. Greene (Coll). 10s; Mrs. U. A. Leo Plant (Coll). £3; Mr. Ernest Jones (Coll. J, 1s; total £15
In addition, to this above, several articles of foodstuff and clothing were received. We were then able to give doles to 208 persons at a total cost of £12, the association gladly making up the difference. Each dole consisted of salt fish, rice, sugar, flour, corn meal, salt, matches, vegetables and cakes. The U. N. J. A. feels that it has done its duty to the poor of Kingston and lower St. Andrews, especially when it is remembered that the majority of those poor are neither members nor sympathizers of the organization. We wish to extend bush thanks to all those persons who gave donations, thus helping to make the poor happy at Christmas time, and we further hope that those persons who received circulars, but who through pressure of business or forgetfulness did not contribute will do so how, as we are always having the poor to look after.

Mr. Haywood, a student at Liberty University from Philadelphia, was a speaker at the mass meeting of the Richmond - Division held on Sunday, December 12, at Sharon Baptist Church. Rev. Dr. Johnson, distinguished minister and pastor of the church, welcomed the members of the division and said that his church is always open to the division. The day was rainy, but a large crowd assembled and the meeting crowd successful one. Mr. Haywood discharged at length in an interesting and enthusiastic manner on the "principles and practice of Garveyism." He received much applause, and at the end of his address three visitors joined the organization. Several enjoyable musical and literary numbers were rendered.

La humanidad en todas partes esta provocada para actuar; y a este punto para llegar a la meta de sus aspiraciones, los cuatrocientos millones de Negros del Universo, también han levantado sus voces unidas para alcanzar el cielo y hacerse acreedores a un mejor ajuste en los asuntos raciales, así como también para una mejor consideración en todas aquellas cosas que envuelvan lo económico, lo político y lo social.

Nuestra organización apadina el nuevo espiritu del nuevo Negro. Nosotros palpamos de que hay necesidad de un reajuste inmediato; que las cosas no pueden continuar como han seguido hasta el presente; y siendo así nuestra manera de sentir, ello nos faculta asl que hablemos en voz alta y le digamos al resto de la humanidad el cómo y porque en que descansamos nuestra declaración de principios.
Necesitamos libertad, verdadera liberación en nuestra manera de actuar. Necesitamos el privilegio de vivir y ejercitar nuestros derechos como hombres; pero muy apesar nuestro encontramos que la actitud del mundo no se inclina y esta dispuesta a concedernos esto. De aquí que por este antagomismo establecido, nos encontramos en conflicto con el mundo.
Los grupos organizados que han controlado los asuntos de las razas oscuras y débiles del mundo, estan ahora ejerciendo toda su influencia, consumiendo sus mas extremos energias, haciendo el mayor esfuerzo para llevar aun mas adelante la abyección, el sujuzgamiento de nuestra raza por un esfuerzo siniestro, y así destruir la utilidad de la Asociación Universal para el Adelante de la Raza Negra, que tan sinceramente defiende los puros principios de la raza en general.
Y no hay secreto hacerca de ello. Inglaterra y Francia han estado usando sus agentes en este país, para minar y obstruir la influencia de nuestra organización. Hasta que punto ha tenido éxito esta propaganda, queda mejor manifestado en el hecho de que nuestra organización se mantiene mas firme que nunca en su declaración por la redención de Africa y la emancipación de todos los Negro Yo he sido hecho prisionero, pero ello no ha afectado en nada para que la gran obra prosiga.
Grandes perturbamientos han sido causados por el maquiavelismo de los agentes y espias. Muños de ellos fueron empleados de nuestra organización y de sus corporaciones auxiliares. Les conocemos a todos. Descubrimos sus actividades demasiado tarde; pero ellas todas han sido observadas detenidamente, poniéndonos en condiciones de hacer nuestra labor más determinada y declarar una guerra sin cuartel a todos los traidores. Y pensando alto y sintiendo hondo, seguir adelante con nuestra labor para continuar nuestra obra de redención.
Los embarazos que tuvimos en la compañía de vapores y otras empresas de negocio, no fueron sino el resultado de las influencias ocultas de agente que han estado laborando en nuestra contra, con el propósito malicioso de hacernos fracasar en nuestros planes industriales; y así llevar como convencimiento a la multitud poco pensante, hacíndoles ver cual era nuestro fracaso y conceptuar el movimiento de redención africana como una utopia, sin contar estos enemigos nuestro que el progreso del Negro esta ya calculado de antemano, y su ascenso por el ciclo evolutivo es imperturbable.
Este adelanto de parte de nuestro elemento tiene mas que razon de ser, porque así lo demanda la época y lo exige lo tirano del ambiente que respiramos. Estos agentes, estos espías, estos traidores estan confiando todavía en la vieja psicología del Negro antiguo; sus debilitadas religiosas, su supertición y el muy debil concepto que el mismo se tenia de la especie humana. Afortunadamente todo ello ha mudado de especie actualmente.
El Negro del presente ha aprendido a medir los fracasos y al mismo tiempo buscar una piedra triangular en que basar los ideales de su exito. De esta manera nada podrá tener nuestra organización y nada le impedita de contar entre sus filas al Negro moderno, el cual ve con ojos de martir la campaña sana, lógica y regeneradora de la redención africana y de la emancipación de la raza negra en el universo entero. Adelante, pues, en este nuevo año de grandes esperanzas.

THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, JANUARY 15, 1927
Un gobernador condena el
modo de administrar la
justicia
El gobernador del estado de Florida na condenado el sistema judicial y el sistema penitenciario de esto pais afirmando al mismo tiempo que traatar de reformarlos on su totalidad.
Manifesto que en lugar de ser castigados, los criminales reculidos en las cacereles y penitenciarias norteamericanas estaban materialmente disfrutando de jugates lujosos que hucian llevadera en sumo grado de perfección la ociosidad más absoluta, mientras que las familias que dependen de dicho individuen llevan una miserable vida, y afirman también que el método actual para administrar la justicia con su enorme grupo de tecnicismos legales no es más que una farsa monumental.
No castigamos como, deba a los criminares que han vinculado las, leyes de la sociedad y niuchos de los que deblan ser castigados-son-salvados de jr n una celda por las probrógas que sucesivamente son concelidad para-algin-dijo, dijo el gobernador.
Un hombre que haya sido conviviente en encontrado culpable de huber cometido un crimen, por repugnante que sea, no es castigado como uno puede suponer, sino que por el contrario recibe una buena cama, un alimentario diario muy nutritivo, una forma saludable de ejercicios sanos que le mantienen en la mejor salud; poco, tiene que hacer para mantenerse a sí mismo y en realidad no lo pasa nada mal, mientras que su mujer y sus hijos, además de haber sido humilidados y yichos desgracias con las acciones del criminal, tienen que hacer contra lo casi imposible para granarse la manutenciendo teniendo. todo el mundo en contra por causa del criminal que esta distruffando de una vida tranquila está presidido. Por esto, no es el criminal el que es castigado, sino que por el contrario, es su familia la que surrte por el el contribuyente. que tiene que pager para su manutención en el presidio.
Bajo el sistema, judicial que se sigue hoy en el país con la aprobación indiscutible de las autorizaciones, en lugar de hacer sufrir al culpable, y bacilete-pagar al anismo la pena por la falta, cometida contra la sociedad, los que sufren son los mises inocentes, los que no han tenido nada que ver con el criminal en su urta action, sólo tienen que ver por la descripción de pertenecer a su misión familia.
Exponiendo al detalte varios casas para hacer ver que lo que el decía era cierto, el gobernador expíció el caso de dos individuos, uno convicto de asesinato, otro convicto de asaño a mano armada con premeditación y el avesosia. Estos dos individuos habían, ceyitado el pagar su falta con sus vidas durante cinco años, por medio de profrógas judiciales, nuevos juicios, apelaciones, haciéndo totar el gobierno que a pesar de haber firmado más de veinte veces las sentencias de muerte contra ambos, las sentencias habían sido siempre suspendidas & ultima hora.
El gobernador ha denunciado los esperas para la resolución de los problemas judiciales en los tribunales no negretamericanos, principalmente en el caso de que se haya cometido aign crimen verdaderamente repugnante, procesos que muchas veces terminar con que el palpable no es debidamente castigado después de haber gastado mises de pesos en el proceso, mientras que muchas familias quedan durante varios años sin la detensa del feito titular de el la por haber sido conenctrada en la casa una pequefa cantidad de licor.
Como remedio para adminstrinar bien la justicia e gobernador recomienda julecjos más rápidos y que las personas que sean, encontradas culpadas de haber conectado agimene deben ser estigados en el verdadero sentido de la palabra. Tambien recompienda el gobernador con espiritu humanitario y justiciero, que los condenados que tienen familia sean obligados a trabajar en fabricas o en industrias similares y que el equivaleente de lo que ganan con su trabajo sea entregado a la familia para su manutensión, con la condición, de que esa entrega de dipero a la familia sea hecha, después que el condicionado ha trabajado su suficiente par abonar al estado los gastos de la vista de la causa y los gastos de su manutensión en el pre-sidio.
El gobernador recomienda que las placas de las inciencias de los automóviles y otras cosas que tiene que fabricar el estado por su cuenta, que sean construidas por los presidios, con lo cusat, al mismo tiempo, que se dara trabajo u los condenados, los estados ahorrarán dinero para el y para los contribuyentes.
El goobernador opina que cualquiera persona que comete un crimen esta enfermo mentalmente y por el dijo que si se consigua que su mente esté ocuplada constantemente miérnas, dure su sentencia en el presidio, cuando salga de el estafa completeness curado y volvera a ser una persona normal y util a la sociedad que en viva.
La redención de Afrika será
una cuestion de tiempo
No necesitamos recurrir-a las páginas históricas que usamos brinden los diversos públicos y paciones del universo, para reconstar los muchos tracos que sus gobiernos respectivos han tenido que sufir, antes de alcanzar la posición que ocupan actualmente en el mundo político.
Esta organización, por consiguiente, esta satisfecha de sufir los revues que sufir America en su período constructivo; por los que pasa Inglaterra para el alevar al placerio en que se encuentre, leantandose de un pueblo sumio y es-elav, al gran poder imperial que es en la actualidad.
Estamos empinados en un conflicto entre la astucia y la inteligencia. Los hombres negroes del mundo deben utilizar el poder cerebral, para competir con el poder cerebral de las razas razas, y abrirse pago y retener un, sitio determinado con características propias, que le significan una acitud dentro los asuntos de los otros hombres.
Nuestra organización lucharia por dar una conciencia de raza a todos los cuatrocientos millones de negros que pueblan el universo. Gracias al todopoderoso. Africa ha desperdiciado al grito de 'Africa para los africanos', ya estan dentro o fuera de los limites que ci-argüesce el-continente negro; grito unimane que se dojará esacuar con el rigido de la pantera en el Africa meridional que seguirá con los lamentos de selvar y anitaronas de días perdidos con los nativos del Africa occidental; con grito religioso en lenguaje bradmante y genuíseciones mahometanas en el Africa del norte, y con gritos aborígenes de un pasado ancestral de los miles de seres que püeblan el emarfañaje selvático del corazon del continente, el Africa central. Africa se redimina; ello será una cuestión de tiempo.
Servicio de radiotelefonia entre Nueva York y Londres
Apesar de las m.aas condiciones atmáticas, el servicio telefónico commercial-entre esta ciudad y Londres se inauguro el veneral 7 del corriente, por la American Telephone and Telegraph Company de este país y el General Post Office de Inglaterra. Una docena de trasmisiones determinaron técnicamente el éxito del nuevo medio de comunicación.
- El-presidente de dicha compañía de telefones en esta ciudad y el secretario del Post Office en Londres, fueron los primeros en felicitar mutuamente-por-medio del nuevo servicio. A estos, siguieron los alcaldes de los dos respeitos puntos, periodistas, barqueiros, comerciales y otros, quiense se conmunican con la misma facilidad que lo huberan lecho con California.
El público podrá usar el nuevo servicio, mediante el pago de setenta y cinco pesos por los tres primeros minutos de comunicación, y diez pesos por cada minuto adicional. El servicio será diario desde las ocho y media de la mañana, hasta la una de la tarde. Debido al tiempo limitado diariamente para el servicio público, las personas que desmenzen heser comunicación, deben presentar su petición adicional.
Actualmente este servicio seria limitado exclusivamente a las áreas metropolitanas de esta ciudad y Londres. Si las condiciones son favorables en el futuro, dicho servicio se extenderá a puntos más distantes. Los que tienen teléfonos en su domicilio en esta ciudad y deseen establecer comunicaciones teléfonicas con Londres, todo lo que tienen que hacer es descolgar el audifono y collicitar la operadora la通讯ación, del mismo modo que se pide comunicación con otro lugar distante.
La compaífica de este nuevo servicio alquila que si se obtiene el número que se desea y no la persona con quien se quiere hablar, el que llama la página diger dos pesos por el uso del servicio.

Death From Tuberculosis Shows Amazing Decrease
Education, Better Hygiene and Improved Standards of Living Contribute to Results—New York Association Plans Drive in Rural Districts
(From the New York World)
The beginning of the sale of Christmas sale, sole support of the National Tuberculosis Association; is marked by the announcement of a decrease in deaths from tuberculosis and the start of startling; a reduction from 201 of 2000 population in 1000 to 94 in 1922, the time of the last census, and an estimated fall in the past- three years which brought it to 98.6 in 1924 and may bring it, to 85 in 1926.
This means tuberculosis in the last ten years has fallen from second to third place among the迅 leading causes of death in the United States. These are listed as acarditis, cancer, cerebral hemorrhage, congenital malformation and diseases of tibianic cardiatic diseases, influenza, nephritis, pneumonia and tuberculosis.
Of these, cardiac diseases now load as a cause of mortality, with a figure of 175 per 100,000 population in 1932 but it should be clearly understood that this does not mean that heart disease is actually on the increases. It is only proportionately on the increase, from the fact that those who now are saved from tuberculosis in early life to die of cardiac trouble later on. The period of greatest susceptibility to tuberculosis is in childhood and between the ages of twenty and thirty-five.
Better Living Cuts Tuberculosis
"We own our success in this work to three definite causes," said Dr. James Alexander Miller, President of the New York Tuberculosis Association and one of the two or three foremost specialists in tuberculosis in the country.
"The first is the increased resistance brought about by preventive work—education, better hygiene, better standards of living, and the better food, and living conditions which are due to prosperity, for tuberculosis oscillates with economic conditions. This was especially conspicuous during this war, when in certain parts of Germany and in the occupied zones of Belgium the tide was 100 percent."
"The second cause, in the diminution of the disease is the perfecting of this system of isolation in hospitals and institutions, and in educating those who have cases at home to take the proper precautions:
The third big contribution lies in the comparatively recent combining of education and preventative work of all the public and private health agencies, especially those which handle children. The "tuberculosis age" is from twenty to thirty-five and people of that age today are those who benefited first from the work of the welfare agencies, when they began their intensive efforts a few years ago. The combining of these wolfies and health organizations has offered a great economy not only in the annual cash expenditures for overhead but in the effort and planning involved—since, as can easily be seen, methods of preventing diseases are similar, and frequently dovetail. The care of a cardiovascular and the protective environment, required for him are almost identical] with what is needed by any predisposed to tuberculosis; and as tuberculosis diminishes, by this new arrangement the cases can be speedily replaced by cardiacs in the institutions with the least possible delay and good tape.
Six Tuberculosis Danger Signals
Asked whether any one class in the population is more suitable than others to the disease, Dr. Miller said that the poor and ignorant are especially afflicted, with it because tuberculosis is such an insidious disease that only those educated to look for it will discover it in its early stages, and among the 19rgr physicians soldon got a chance to diagnose until it is well advanced.
"There are six danger signals which should be watched for especially in children," he said. "First, persistent underweight; children and thin people should be weighed frequently and sent for examination if they do not unintelligible failure; any cough which lasts a month; any splitting of blood, no murmur how slight—member this may be the only symptom; fifth, a recurrent tendency to colds or fever—it is very dangerous to disgard, what so many people consider 'just a little cold', or fever inharm; sixth, a slight, persistent cough.
No single one of those danger signals should be ignored, and when two

grunt, and star
or more of them are present, it is especially important to consult a physician immediately. Remember that good food, fresh air and plenty of rest will cure the disease in its early stages. The disease is more severe in the which is more severe in the application in the employment of those patients who are able to work, and even with those discharged as curd. For the great economic waste due to the difficulty of finding employment for these people I feel we are perhaps ourselves at fault. If the word fault can be used—since much of the trouble results from the fear of infection. We have tried to educate the public to recognize the peril of infection, but now I am afraid they are overeducated. The main danger of infection lies in the close and constant contact with advanced cases in homes.
No Excuse for Infection
"I feel that I cannot give too much emphasis to those words, close and conanat." You see, there is danger only when the analysis of the sputum is not sufficient for the presence of gorms; and when they are present all that is necessary is proper care and disposal of it. There is no excuse for even a nurse to contract tuberculosis because prevention of infection is so simple and easy.
"It is interesting to remember that in England in the time of Charles II the average expectation of life of the newborn was about thirty-two years; now it is about fifty-eight. In the next few years it does not go much higher it will be because of the tension at which we live. Tension is our worst monochow.
"We have made great abubles both in the prevention of tuberculosis, and in the nearly all advanced cases by collapsing and resting. We have yet to find a specific cure for the disease, and it is to this that our best scientists will continue to devote themselves until they find it."
Young Women More Susceptible
In the four-years from 1920 to 1923
the latest at which statistics are
available—New York, Delaware, Rhode
Island and Massachusetts P and the
United States in the diminution of the
disease. Children less than five years
old are more susceptible than at any
other age, and the boys considerably
more so than the girls.
There are, on the other hand, nearly twice as many doodling among girls from fifteen to nineteen than among boys, and the females continue to load in mortality until the age of thirty-five, when the males show an increase in the death rate. This is thought to be caused by the greater physiological changes in females in this period of life, during which tuberculosis the greatest peril and the dangers of maturity rank second.
An interesting chart compares city and country mortality from tuberculosis In the State of New York. It shows that between 1913 and 1917 the average annual urban rate was 122.8; a rural, 110.8. In 1924 the urban rate was 157.29 and the rural 105.25. This, of course, is partly due to the fact that people are being educated to go to the country as part of their curse and that many city people in advanced stages of the "disease" into died in Sullivan and Franklin Counties, where the great institutions are; but a close analysis of conditions shows too, according to the New York tuberculosis Association, that "the far-flung organizations of cities are working to effect, while rural Jalisco-faro is paying the penalty of its incarction."
A great offer, will be documented
on a website of the State during
this stop year.

Tombs of Christian Martyrs Contain Early Art: Bearing Monogram of Christ
SNKRVA, Asia Minor, Dec. 37 (A. P.). Regimentation of the compayments at Ephesus, interrupted for a number of years, has finally brought to light the long sought for monuments of the early Christian martyrts, known as "The Seven Sleepers of Ephesus."
After the workman had cleared away great piles of debris and stones on the rugged slopes of the burial ground of Ephesus, a vast compound of unclever Christian culture and the adjoining tombs of the Seven Sleepers were disclosed.
The tombs contained many lamps of manifold designs, among which were several specimens of fling sculptural art with attractive representations of antiquity and early scenes, bearing the monogram of Christ.
According to legend, seven Christian youths about 250 A. D. hid themselves from pursuit in a cave. Their hiding place was discovered and the entrance blocked. The martyrs then fell asleep. Nearly 200 years later a herdsman discovered the cave and letting in light, evoked the inmates. The monastery Bodonus AI-bearring of this phenomenon, hastened to the spot in time to hear from the martyrs that God had wrought this maryol to confirm the belief in the resurrection of the dead. After having delivered their message, the martyrs again fell asleep.
Egypt.
By LOUISE TOWNSEND NICHOLL
In The Nation
Look, it is Egypt in my soul today.
A geometric pyramid called
Death's neatness is the necessary way
To measure and to build and to
embalm.
This desert is a staring, mute mosaic
Lid dryly in in death and stone
and heat.
The only human face is flat, archaic,
And sand has hit the fufu hands
and feet.
But sometimes there were water-boys
But sometimes there were water-boys
cailing.
Singing the Water-Song along the
Nile.
It was a soft song and like water
falling.
And I may hear it in a little while.

I palms my heart when I read what
the white man is doing in Africa. The
atrocious way in which they treat the
natives ought to make the heart of
every black man ache. The question
that is uppermost in my mind is, "How
long will these things last?"
Members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association know that Africans belong to the black man and we believe that the Negro should do all in his power to recount that written rightfully. Negroes will continue to float ships and invest money in other

All Great Leaders
To the Editor of The Negro World.
An infraction committed against a single commandment, we are told, invades the sanctity of the entire ten commandments. This is no truer than the fact that a man may be honest and sincerely have ability and capabilities, yet, if he lacks the courage of his convictions he is no less fitted to assume the important, role of leader than a monkey is fitted to take the place of a horse in a wagon.
Much fun has been and is still being "poked" at the leadership of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League, but the practical jokers who are engaged in the artful pastime of fun-poking know only, too well the seriousness of the object of their jokes. This idea of attempting to decide and laugh intelligent leadership out of position and even taking hold of them, by the neck and casting them into prison and later to the executioner's block is as old as the Christian area.
Nearly two thousand years ago in the days of the greatest emergency, when man who was then less innable than he is today, was stealing deeper into the 'mira of barbarism; Jesus the Christ, a man possessing all of the qualities that are essential to leadership, was derived and laughed to scorn impassioned and finally paid with his precious life the inevitable price of leadership on the cross of Calvary. 'Thou destroyeth the temple, but I shall build it up again in three days.' The courageous leader declared to His persecutors. And it came to pass that while the material body of the great reformer was destroyed, as He said, after three days the great ideal He represented had taken on a new birth-and is perpetuated on to this day.
History has, indeed recorded the murges of but few men who had the necessary amount of courage to have shouldered the tremendous responsibilities of leadership. Among them we have men of less eminence who have shouldered the responsibilities in recent days and who, too, have paid with their lives the price of leadership. Sir Roger Cassement, the Irish patriot, left off at the end of an English rope. Terrence McSwiny, another Irish patriot, refused to be fed by the hand next to the one that was choking him and died of starvation rather than submit to tyranny of the sacrifice of the great ideals for which he died. Manhatna Ganah, the Indian leader, was reduced to a practical skeleton in an Indian prison for two years. Those who attempt to shoulder the responsibilities of leadership, even in the foolish way, must pay the price in proportion.
In the face of these three historical facts, is it indeed surprising to you, dear readers, that a leader of the type of Marvin Survey, a man who, like Christ, the reformer, and Martin

Luther, possesses everything that goes on, so he up leadership; who at the sound of the trumpet of the great Negro emergency of 1917, when the Negro peoples of the world woke up to the dangers with which they were confronted. Stepped forward with the sword of propaganda in hand at the head of four hundred-million modern Ethiopian golders and gives battle to the gods of the east, west, south and north poles with the cry of "Africa for the Africans—at home and abroad?" Let us assume that there is room for surprise. isn't it really surprising that a character such as Marcus Garvey has been able to have fought the battles of his race from every angle of the compass for nine years, and is still alive and with us?
SOME PET BUNK THAT DIES HARD
White Men Must Cease-Self-Deception That They Are in Africa for Uplift of Natives—Benefits Must Be Mutual
The Gold Coast Lines, commenting on some striking utterances in the interest of fair-play by Sir Hubert Murray, white people. But that explanation. The true be found in the growing administration; for the economic necessities of governments in Africa are becoming less secure straightforward in the natives, and this confidence which abides in tans formerly oppose rulers.
"Several honest white generally confined to directly or indirectly economic development denies, have had to admit and to depreciate the ruthless exploitation and the form exploitative."
Markus Garvey is a leader of the highest type. He is honest and sincere; he is able and capable and has the courage of his convictions. He is now serving five years in Atlantic prison, which is merely the second instalment on the price that must be paid for leadership. Marcus Garvey cannot be laughed out of position; the suspect, he discouraged by practical jokers. Will the Negro peoples of the world in the coming year let him pay the price in full alone? No. never. "In his intercourse with gilen races may he always be in the right; but right or wrong—Marcus Garvey" is the motto of the 400,000,000 Africans at home and abroad in 1927.

As Time Passes
To the Editor of The Negro World:
Before I began to attend the U. N. L. A. meetings and to read The Negro World I used to say that the African redemption program of our organization was foolish. But after a time I began to see the light, and to realize the condition of my race. After visiting Liberty Hall I became a member of the organization. This was back in 1821, but my faith in Garvism is growing stronger with the passing of time. I shall continue to work side by side with the Honorable Marcel Garvey, in jail or out, as long as life lasts.
The Universal Negro Improvement Association is now making the history which will affect the race for many generations to come Garvey is our leader, and we will follow him through thick and thin because we believe that he is right.

CAIRO, Jan. 7. Egyptian women inaugurated an uplift movement today, and among those who will assist to win nation-wide support for it is Mim Elsie. Wissa Coptic Christian graduate of the American College. The movement was organized under the following six committees: women's rights, temperance, hygiene, child welfare, education and morals.
The women presented today a petition to the ministry of justice calling for the abolition of polygamy, one to Parliament demanding severe penalties for narcotics traders and another to the ministry of education urging that the dangers of the use of narcotics should be taught in the school-

SOME PET BUNK THAT DIES HARD
White Men Must Cease Self-Decaption That They Are In Africa for Uplift of Natives Benefits Must Be Mutual
The Gold Coast-Linds, commenting on some striking utterances in the interest of fair-play by Sir Hubert Murray, Additionist of Papua in the Pacific, in a book just published by him, says, among other things:
"In the interest of a better understanding between the two races our white friends will be well advised to avoid the self-deception that they are in Africa purposely for the uplift of the natives, and to regard the European-African connection from the logical standpoint of something approaching a mutual association. And if they could be induced to cease from parading their realistic motives and to regard their connection with natives an conferring reciprocal benefits from which they derive the lion's share, they would sooner come to realize that while doing themselves good in the black man's country they are under an obligation to do some work in the land of their souls, outside their personal pre-occupations, which will justify their existence in the country. Our white Friends, particularly those engaged in administration, commerce and industries, have first of all to rid their minds of the illusion that they are in Africa for the good of the natives and then to realize that being strangers in the country, it is their part to assist the natives of the soil in developing and improving local conditions to the benefit of black and white alike, which is the work in the interest of our common humanity to which Sir Hubert Murray aides.
"The author's views on the question of the white man's prestige" may not be palatable to many of his countrymen, but he has dealt with the subject, vary logically. He thinks that while it is important for the native to respect the white man, the latter should prove himself deserving of this respect. The European, he says, "should realize in his turn that he has a duty, both towards the native and towards his fellow Europeans, never to act in such a way as to diminish that respect." It is an aspect of the subject seldom pondered by those who would even go to the extent of maintaining the white man's prestige by the force of ordinary, or even mob law. Much has been said as to the slump of the white man's prestige since the war, and this has been generally attributed to the incidence of the war and the employment of colored troops against

white people. But that is not the true explanation. The true explanation may be found in the growing laxity of white administration; for impelled by the economic necessities of Europe, white governments in Africa and elsewhere are becoming less scrupulous and less straightforward in their relations with the natives, said this has shaken the confidence which aboriginal inhabitants formerly exposed in their white rulers.
"Several honest white men, who are generally confined to the group not directly or indirectly interested in the economic development of the dependances, have had to admit and to admit and to deobtain in strong terms the ruthless exploitation of the natives. And the form 'exploitation' covers a multitude of sins. Europeans cannot possibly pursue this policy of political and economic exploitation of the natives without treating them inhumanly. And when the members of one race sink in the scald of public morality and begin to act inhumanly towards those whom they have got in their toils, they cannot expect to earn the respect of their victims, and their prestige must diminish. Have white men, especially those connected with administration and commerce in Africa, been acting in a way as to earn the confidence and respect of the natives? That is the question which white administrators and others attracted to Africa by the love of gain should ask themselves. And if they can justify their action in invading African territories and dispossessing the natives of their land, in violating aboriginal institutions in order to gain an advantage over them, and in keeping the natives permanently in an inferior political and social position, acting in a way to earn the respect and confidence of the people, then they have ground to complain of their loss of prestige among the natives."

women will sit in the Legislatures of
the States this winter than in the last
two years, but the number still will
be substantially over 190.
A survey made by the National
League of Women Voters discloses
that 122 women have been elected to
the Legislatures of thirty-sour States,
eleven of whom will vote seats in the
Senates. In 1825 and 1826 approximately
180 women were elected.
The Republican Party, with eighty-
six women legislators, outnumber
more than two to one the Democrats,
who elected thirty-one. Three have
no party designation; one is a non-
parliament and one an independent.
Connecticut leads all other States with sixteen women in its 1927 lawmaking body. Wyoming, the first State to grant sultrage to women and the first to install a woman as Governor, will have but one woman legislator.
