TEN CENTS IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES Negroes, Like Men of Other Races, Must Create New Environments and Opportunities For Themselves Fellow Men of the Negro Race, Greeting: The effort of the Universal Negro Improvement Association is to create new environments, new opportunities for the race as it stands, and the highest and best purpose we can serve is that of creating a nation which will render to the race all the security that it needs. Against this the many leaders of the race fight. They invariably tell us that to fight for our constitutional rights just where we are and nothing else will be the solution of the problem, but who tells them that we should not fight for our constitutional rights wheresoever we are? The Universal Negro Improvement Association does not say that. But we go beyond that; we say fight also to create a constitution of your own. For this we are regarded as dreamers, and in doing this we are regarded as being unfriendly to any other rights that the Negro should have. How unreasonable and how unwise? But what do we conclude from our observation, and from our study of those men who oppose the working of the Universal Negro Improvement Association? It is simply this, that they are all willing to follow the line of least resistance, that they are willing to utilize and monopolize the advantages created by the other race, without making the effort to create for themselves, not knowing and not realizing that such people will never yield up such advantages to those who were not fellow workers in the creation; and that is where the great Negro problem exists, in countries where the Negro forms a minority and other races form the majority. Even though the collection of the minority has been unable to We have been agitating in America for fifty years, and in the West Indies and other parts of the western world for eighty years. What have we gained but a perpetuation of the same problem that deprives us of our rights from the very beginning of this agitation? It is the realization of this hopelessness to ever get a square deal, where as a minority we are at the mercy of the will and caprice of the majority, why the Universal Negro Improvement Association seeks to unite the minority groups of Negros all over the world such as in America, the West Indies, South and Central America, with the great majority of Africa, for the purpose of creating as a majority that kind of a security through nationhood that will give to us the privileges and the opportunities that we want. Sober, intelligent men cannot reason otherwise, and how these so-called leaders of the race oppose a movement like that of the Universal Negro Improvement Association is impossible to tell, except it is based upon the selfishness of seeing themselves removed from their present individual advantages in this life that deprives the masses of their needs, whilst giving to the few the crumbs that fall from the table. So long as one politician can be elevated here, and another there, and one leader can raige enough to enrich himself here, and another there, these people will always argue that the problem can be solved by agitation where we are. But what of the masses who are not getting anything to warrant their being satisfied? These are the people for whom the Universal Negro Improvement Association fights, and the few who selfishly think of themselves because of their own prosperity are the ones who oppose the program that would seek to elevate the people to the higher life, the life of freedom and larger opportunities. Therefore it is my duty to warn the masses of Negroes in America as well as the western world, that the time has come for them not to take their guidance from the selfish Negro who, in his own community is prospering, and can see no further than himself, but to evolve from among themselves as a common people, as a common mass, their own leadership, that will feel with them, that will think with them, and will not be afraid to suffer for the ideal of a higher and a nobler life for all the people. Relying on the stalwart support of the masses, the Universal Negro Improvement Association comes forward with great hope, feeling sure that the future will tell a new tale, and will bring to the people a new knowledge of themselves.

Conduct in Nicaragua—Washington Officials Hint Changes Will Be Opposed PANAMA CITY, Jan. 27.—The United States-Panama Treaty has been virtually rejected by a vote of the National Assembly, which decided to suspend discussion of the treaty until such time as the executive power has had an opportunity to renew the negotiations, seeking a solution which would fully satisfy the nation's aspirations." apite its lamentable inconveniences for us Panamans.

The committee appointed by the Assembly on December 12 to study the treaty was expected to report yesterday, but the resolution eliminated the necessity of its reporting. Books Friendly Relations The members of the committee themselves voted for the measure. The resolution follows: "Whereas, since December 15 the treaty signed by the plenipotentiaries of Panama and the United States has been submitted for the consideration of the National Assembly, and Whereas, the commission of the National Assembly to which the treaty was entrusted for examination has not reported, due without doubt to the gravity and complexity of the questions contained in the treaty, and Whereas, the United States Senate has not considered the treaty and adjournment of the present session in mind, and Whereas, some of the stipulations of the treaty have produced a profound depression among the Panamanian people and maintain them in a state of serious expectation, and Whereas, it is essentially convenient for the interests of Panama to maintain the most cordial relations with the United States, for which it is necessary that those relations be regulated in such a manner that in the future there may not arise any kind of difference; therefore be it demanded, to suspend consideration of the United States in Washington on July 18th by the president-in-charge of the Senate and the president-in-charge until such as the executive power may have had an opportunity to negotiate more than which may be necessary to obtain solutions fully satisfactory to the aspirations of the nation." Changes Are Proposed WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.—Proposed changes in the new treaty with Panama are under discussion between the American and Panama governments. The State Department insisted today that the revisions under consideration were of a minor character, not affecting the substance of the treaty. They would not disclose, however, what points were at issue. The department has been advised of the action taken by the Congress in suggesting these revisions to clarify the situation. Washington Hints U. S. Will Oppose Changes WASHINGTON. Jan. 25.—Whether the State Department will accede to the request of Panama to reopen negotiations on the Panama-United States treaty will probably depend upon the character of the proposed revisions. State Department officials declined today to comment on the situation in the absence of official advice, but there were indications that this country would resist any effort directed at emasculation of the treaty. The last word to the department from Panama stated that the Panaman Congress had returned the treaty to the Executive with the request for further negotiations. Washington officials had been insisting that revisions of only a minor character not affecting the substance of the treaty were being considered. News of the action of Panama's Congress came as no surprise, for considerable opposition to ratification centered in the minority party has existed. At the same time the ballot was expressed that approval would ultimately be given to the compact. The treaty is notable for its provision under which Panama would consider herself in a state of war when over the United States goes to war. Other terms provide for extensive control over Panama's defense. But all are hoped upon here as merely giving explicit treaty force to conditions long regarded as existing in fact. PANAMA, Jan. 28.—Ricardo J. Alvarez, President of Mexico to the United States, comes here early in the month to explain certain points of the United States-United States treaty, has also applied for return to Washington and is preparing with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on the possibility of re- apite its lamentable inconveniences for us Panamans. "However, if the opportunity is available and if the United States State Department's attitude is propitious for new parallels which might result in benefiting our interests, we will certainly make all possible efforts to comply with the Assembly's resolution for our satisfaction as a government and as Panamane." How Popular Sentiment Against Treaty Grew (From the New York World) A little more than a month ago the President of Panama submitted to his National Assembly the text of a new treaty with the United States. There were no signs of opposition to the treaty at that time. One of the purposes of the treaty was to correct certain conditions of which the people of Panama complained, and there was no reason, for believing that the people of Panama were not satisfied with the result. The President of Panama recommended prompt adoption of the treaty. On December 23, seven days after the submission of this treaty to the Panamanian Assembly, American marines were landed in Nicaragua. On December 31 the first word of opposition in Panama to the new treaty reached this country; the Municipal Council of Colon passed a resolution demanding its defeat. On January 4 Mr. Coolidge explained that we had intervened in Nicaragua to protect our rights to a canal. And on January 8 the Associated Press reported from the City of Panama that "popular sentiment against the Panaman-American treaty is growing here." On January 1 Mr. Coolidge made his formal explanation to Congress as to the various reasons why we had attempted to impose our will on Nicaragua. And by the time there were demonstrations against the Panaman-American treaty, in various parts of Panama, described by the correspondent, the president, a strong feeling in opposition connected with an undercurrent of anti-Americanism." On Thursday thirty-nine out of forty-six members of the Panaman Assembly voted to abolve the treaty. We have been taking "a strong line" in Latin America. And as time passes we shall be able to observe the results. FILIPINO PRINCESS HOLDS UP ARMY Philippine Soldiers Can't Fire on Moro "Rebels" Owing to Presence of Princess MANILA, Jan. 26.—The Philippine constabulary, an organization of fighting men which has faced every variety of combat, stood at "parade rest" today and perused its book of etiquette in search of rules for fighting a woman. The woman is one of royal blood—Princess Tatharita Karam, attractive niece of the builton of Sulu—who is reported to be holding an entire constabulary regiment at bay on Kolo Island, where her husband, Datu Tahil, high Moro dignitary, is intrenched with 200 armed followers. The Moro rebels are defying the entire Philippine government, and the constabulary has hesitated to attack Tahil's forces for fear of killing or injuring the princess. Such an eventuality would enrage the Sultan and bring down the wrath of the entire Moro population on the government. Prevented from using methods with which they are most familiar in combatting the rebellious Moros, the constabulary forces are trying to cottice the princess away from the scene of conflict. Princess Tarhata is a peculiar mixture of East and West. She was educated at the University of Illinois. It recently she entered the haram of Datu Tahil as his fourth wife, giving up bobbed hair and short skills in response to the call of tradition. Tahil rebelled in 1912, when his haram favorite at that time joined him in battle. He fired at night, leaving his wife behind, and she was killed. Tahil later was pardoned for taking part in the uprisings.

No Independence New for Philippines, Says Carmi Thompson BOSTON, Jan. 31.—Col. Carmi A. Thompson, of Cleveland, who recently surveyed conditions in the Philippines for President Coolidge, told the Repub- lican Club of Massachusetts today that much must be done before the islands can be given their independence. Complete independence is impossible now, but "while we are preparing the Filipinos for self-government we should not reduce the internal autonomy which they have been granted unless their own conduct should make this necessary," Col. Thompson as- serted. Touching upon the breach between Gov.-Gen. Leonard Wood and the Legislature, he declared it had reached the stage where no constructive legislation was possible. He described the Governor's advisers, popularly known as his "Cavalry Cabinet," as men of "splendid military records and gentlemen of the highest type," but declared, "it is impossible to overlook the criticism that they are unit for the task assigned to them, and that in some cases they have caused needless friction by tactless methods." Gen. Wood's administration, however, has done much to improve the former almost hopeless financial condition of the islands and has curbed the one-time reckless administration of the Government. "With proper economic and political development the Philippines would enjoy an era of prosperity such as has never been known in the world." HEDJAZ SULTAN'S FOREIGN POLICY STILL PUZZLING Ibn Saud's Son Completes Tour of Europe—Sultan May Use Prestige to Form Moslem League of Nations CAIRO.—With the return to Mecca from his European tour of the Emir Fetal, second son of Sultan Ibn Saud, it becomes possible to attempt an estimate of the European policy of the ruler of the Moslem holy cities, whose attitude is bound to play a large part in future relations between Islam and Christianity. Great Britain, France, Holland and the Soviet government were the first powers to recognize the Russian ankirk of the Nordian after the Wahhabi Salman, striking from his central Arabian state of Nejd, had conquered in a brilliant campaign the Holy Land of Islam. Russia's recognition was accorded first of all. This was largely due to the presence in Jeddah, the port of Mecca, of the Soviet agent Hakimmoff, who was the first diplomat to whom Ibn Saud gave audience on his entrance into Jeddah as conquerer. Russia Left Out of Tour But despite the fact that the Soviet governs millions of Moslem subjects, Russia was excluded from the scope of the Emir Feisal's European tour. The omission obviously was due to the desire of Ibn Saud not to give the other powers any ground for suspicion as to the intimacy of his relations with Moscow. Negotiations looking toward the establishment of a German consulate at Jeddah have been in progress for some time, but Berlin also was not included in the Emir's tour. His itinerary was limited to England, France and Holland. The visit to Holland had a special importance of its own. Not less than 50,000 Moslems from the Dutch colonies in the Far East have in the past been accustomed to make the yearly pilgrimage to Mecca, and their expenditure in the Hedjaz has been estimated at $10,000,000. The flood of these pilgrims ceased two years ago as a result of friction between the beliefs of the pilgrims and those of the Wahhabis. But last year 10,000 visited Mecca, and the Emir Feisal's visit to Holland was largely with the object of interesting the Dutch government in undertaking propaganda in its colonies in favor of the full resumption of the pilgrimage. The cultivation of friendly relations with the ruler of Mecca is of obvious importance for France in view of her difficulties in Syria, and of the influence which ibn Saud indirectly exercises in North Africa. The Emir Faisal's visit to France is believed to have improved relations, which were uneasy due to investment in the Hedjaz against the French treatment of the Moors of Syria. Great Britain, foremost of the Moslem powers, after first putting her money on the wrong horse in supporting the Hashimite ruling family, expelled by the Wahhabis from the Jordan, now is developing close relations with Ibn Saud. That powerful ruler's relations with the Western powers, at the close of his son's visit to Europe, may be described as disciplinarily correct. But whether he wants to use the prestige of his position as an emperor of the holy city of Islam to form a Moslem league of nations, which must inevitably amuse an anti-European comrade, is a secret as far locked in his agile brain.

AIMS IN LATIN AMERICA Third International in Moscow Appeals to Workers to Save Central America from "Enslavement" MOSCOW, Jan. 31.—An appeal to the proletariat of the world to help the Latin Americans save themselves from "enslavement" through the "imperialistic ambitions" of the United States is made in a proclamation by the Third, or Communist, International with headquarters here. Addressed to "the workers and peasants of the oppressed nations of the world," the proclamation amounts to a vituperative denunciation of the United States not only for that country's attitude as regards Nicaragua and Mexico, but for designs to "transform Latin America into an American colony." The text of the proclamation was made public last night. "The whole world," it continues, "is laughing at Mr. Kellogg's attempts to distract attention from the real motive of American intervention in Central America—namely, ratification of the American oil magnates and bankers exploiting and pillaging Central America. American imperialism is becoming bolder and cruder in trying to colonize the whole Latin America, whose recurring revolts menace the interests of American exploiters." The Third International was founded by Lenin in 1919, since which time its chief officers have been more prominently associated with the Soviet Government, among them Joseph Stalin, Leon Trotsky, Leo Kameneff and Gregory Zinovieff. Following an annual custom which began in 1922, February 13 will be widely observed this year as Race Relations Sunday. On that date sermons, addresses and programs on race relations will be given in thousands of churches throughout the country. Originated as a means of enlisting the religious forces of the nation in behalf of a Christian solution of the race problem, Race Relations Sunday has become an established custom; and it is more widely observed with each passing year by churches, missionary organizations, young people's societies, Christian associations and other religious groups. The Commission on the Church and Race Relations, 105 East 22d street, New York, will send suggestions for the observance of the day to any one interested. The Commission in Interracial Co-operation, 409 Palmer Building, Atlanta, will be glad to supply additional material for addresses and programs. Maryland Inter-Racial Commission WASHINGTON, Jan. 29. — After two years of intensive study of racial conditions throughout the state, the Maryland Inter-Racial Commission, which is composed of twenty-one prominent colored and white citizens, has submitted a very comprehensive report to Governor Albert C. Ritchie and the General Assembly which is now in session. The report deals with such subjects as education, public and private health, housing and sanitation; public service and legal status, and public welfare and charitable and penal institutions. Of the recommendations made by the commission is the repeal of the obnoxious "Jim Crow" laws. The establishment of a state training school for colored boys; aid for Morgan College; the appointment of a colored assistant supervisor for Negro schools, and the appointment of an appropriation for a permanent Inter-Racial Commission were strongly recommended. The commission also asked that the minimum salary of colored school teachers be the same as that of other public school teachers in the state and that provisions be made for the extension of facilities for Negro youth to fit themselves by scientific study for increased usefulness in mechanical arts and in scientific industries generally.—C. P. B. Thirty Million Mice Infest California BAKERSFIELD, Cal.—Estimates by C. H. Browne, of Kern County Agricultural Department, and S. K. Piper, of the United States Government Biological Control Department, indicated that between $0,000,000 and $0,000,000 mice still remain in the Buena Vista lowlands, despite the millions which have met death in the six-week campaign of trach and poison warfare. Piper estimated from $4,500,000 to $4,800,000 will be required to exterminate the mice. Anyone knowing the whereabouts of Henry Wright of Belle Rue, Miami, Michigan, a native of Jamaica, R. W. I.

Kansas City Association Protects 500 Chapen For Negro Hospital KANSAS CITY, 30, Jan. 20.—The Lawwood Improvement Association, which has been the cause of continual disturbances between the races here over the neighborhood segregation question, recently announced that they would go to court to prevent the selection of the site between Twenty-sixth and Twenty-seventh street on Michigan avenue for a colored hospital. F. McKroy, city manager, readily assumed sole responsibility for the selection of the site, saying he had toured the city in a search of a place to build the hospital, which will be financed by bonds voted in 1835. The site selected, which faces Spring Valley park, was approved by the directors of health and fire. Assess City The delegation accused the city administration of not holding public hearings before selecting the site. The proper site, it contended, would have been in the heart of the Negro district. McKroy replied that if that were true it would be logical to move the general hospital to a point in the heart of the white residential district. The site selected also was approved by the ollisens' advisory committee appointed to aid in the proper expenditure of the hospital bonde—St. Louis Argus. WILL NOT INDICT AIKEN KILLERS OF 3 NEGROES South Carolina Grand Jury Refuses to Indict Lowman Murderer—Governor Incensed at Miserable Miscarriage of Justice COLUMBIA, S. C., Jan. 29.—Indignant at the refusal of the Alken County Grand Jury yesterday to indict those who have been named as the lynchers of Clarence, Demon and Bertha Lowman, and charging that it failed to do its duty, Governor John G. Richards in a statement today promised he would do everything in his power to bring the members of the mob to justice. He left no doubt that he believed the evidence submitted was sufficient to justify indictments, and now informed persons that he was wrong to bring to trial those who took the three degrees from laid on October 11 and killed them, and who went virtually unaccented until The New York World undertook an investigation of the case. "I am very much disappointed at the failure of the Alken County Grand Jury to find true bills against those who have been charged with the Lowman lynchings," Governor Richards said. "I am familiar with the evidence gathered by Governor McLeod and his officers and that secured by myself, and I am convinced in my own mind that it makes out a prima facie case. The failure of the Grand Jury to present those charged before it must rest squarely upon their shoulders. "The evidence has been submitted. The Judge, the Attorney General and the Solicitor have discharged their duty faithfully and fearlessly and with a sincere desire to uphold the majesty of the law. And yet there remains this miserable miscarriage of justice through the failure of the Grand Jury to realise the situation and fearlessly discharged its solenm duty. "There can be no justification of lynch law. I care not what the offense. The lyncher disregards all laws, spits in the face of the courts, and strikes at the very foundation of our civilization; and the Alken lynching, which the evidence shows was the act of a very small group of men, is one of the most bestial that has happened in our State. "I promised in my inaugural address that I would stand for the majesty of the law. I meant what I said. I promise the people of South Carolina that if it Hies in my power the Alken lynchers shall be brought to justice." Lynch Law in So. Carolina The Grand Jury of Alken County, N.C. reports that it finds the evidence submitted concerning the lynch-law murder last October of Clarence, Demon and Dertha Lowman, Negroes, insufficient to warrant indictments. The perpetrators are well known in the community. The finding of the Alken Grand Jury simply upholds lynch law in defiance of the known facts. Governor Richards is fortunately alive to the smirk upon the honor of the State left by the Alken County mob. "There can be, he says, "no justification of lynch law, I care not what the offense." The lynchner "strikes at the very foundation of civilization." Governor Richards is not through with the case: "The Alton lynching, which the evidence shows was the act of a very small group of men, is one of the most hostile that has happened in our state. I promised in my inaugural address that I would stand for the majority of the law. I meant what I said. I promise the people of South Carolina that if it lies in my power the Alton lynchers shall be brought to justice." Alton County's shame has attracted the attention of the whole country. Orderly and law-adding witness everywhere will hope that Governor Blinker may prove long enough and strong enough to group and punish the bandit. Genuine BAYER ASPIRIN SAY "BAYER ASPIRIN" and INSIST! Unless you see the "Bayer Cross" on tablets you are not getting the genuine Bayer Aspirin proved safe by millions and prescribed by physicians for 25 years. DOES NOT AFFECT THE HEART Safe The aims of the Chinese Nationalists in their present struggle for independence are summed up as follows: The whole ultimate object is to unify the provinces under one government; to raise the standard of living to free the country from the domination of foreigners; to give national endeavor fullest scope, and to put China on a level with the other powers. To this end, education will be promoted, industry fostered, internal and foreign trade encouraged. Property will be respected, but capital will not be allowed to become dominant as in the United States. Foreigners will have equal opportunities with the Chinese in all respects and treaties will be made with foreign powers on the basis of reciprocity. Apparently Canton is prepared, all existing treaties having been cancelled, to have foreigners trading and engaging in enterprises and owning property in the interior, privileges at present denied in part or in whole. Missionary endeavor will be permitted, provided the new cult which canonizes Sun Yat Sen is respected and schools conform to certain regulations. The Cantonites, in short, plan to make China entirely modern and self-supporting, but not exclusive. KELLOGG STATES U. S. ATTITUDE Says U. S. Is Willing to Arbitrate —Has Always Desired Independence of Chinese Nation In a statement issued on Jan. 26 Secretary of State Kellogg defined the attitude of the United States towards China. "The United States has always desired the unity, the independence and prosperity of the Chinese nation," Secretary Kellogg said. "It has desired that tariff control and extraterritoriality provided by our treaties with China should as early as possible be released. "The United States is now and has been, ever since the negotiation of the Washington treaty, prepared to enter into negotiations with any Government of China or delegates who can represent or speak for China, not only for putting into force of the auxitutes of the Washington treaty but entirely releasing tariff control and restoring complete tariff autonomy to China. "The United States would expect, however, that it be granted most favored nation treatment and that there should be no discrimination by grants of special privileges and that the open door with equal opportunity for trade in China should be maintained and, further, that China should afford every protection to American citizens, to their property and rights. "The United States is prepared to put into force the recommendations of the Extraterritoriality Commission, which can be put into force without a treaty at once, and to negotiate the release of extraterritorial rights as soon as China is prepared to provide protection by law and through her courts to American citizens, their rights and property." Steps leading up to the Peking Customs and Extraterritorial Conferences, initiated by Secretary Kellogg at the request of the Chinco (Peking) Government, were reviewed by the Secre- (Continued on page 6) Great Britain, Her Famed "Diplomacy" Having Failed, Strikes Virtuous Pose of Conceding "Reasonable Chinese Demands"—Bluff Not Working EXPLOITING DAYS OVER U. S. Government Says It Is Watching China's Nationalistic Awakening with Sympathetic Interest and Welcomes Era of Self-Government (From The New York World) LONDON, Jan. 23.—Foreign Secretary Sir Austen Chamberlain, speaking tonight in Birmingham, offered to grant all the principal Chinese Nationalist demands, while refusing to recognize the Cantonese as the Government of united China. Although no central Government exists, he said, "the demand for treaty revision has become so insistent and is fundamentally so reasonable that we must try to negotiate this change with the contending governments in a vortex of civil war." Makes Proposals Definite Chamberlain then offered specifically: 1. To permit modern Chinese courts to deal with cases involving the British. 2. To apply in British courts in China "existing modern Chinese civil and commercial codes and subordinate legislation." 3. To "make British subjects liable to pay regular Chinese taxation, not involving discrimination against the British. This would include taxation levied under the national tariff and, so far as we alone can effect such an object, remove the last obstacle to full tariff autonomy." Suggests Local Agreements 4. Regarding British concession areas, to "enter into local arrangements according to the particular circumstances of each port, either for amalgamation of the administration with that of adjacent areas under Chinese control or for some other method of handling over administration to the Chinese while assuring the British community some voice in municipal matters." Having thus offered virtually every thing demanded by Canton, Chamberlain said there can for the moment be no new treaty embodied these changes, because a treaty can be made only with a recognized Government, and no Government can be stated now to be the Government of China. These remarkable proposals, entirely unexpected in their complete abandonment of the previous position, immediately following the despatch of British forces to Shanghai, prove, according to Chamberlain, the pacific intentions of the British and the fact that the troops were moved to Shanghai only as a precaution in view of the Hankow incident, when Chamberlain said massacre was averted only by withdrawal of the defenso force from the concession. amberlain's speech may fairly be (Continued on page 6) ALL BURMA SLAVES FREED UNDER BRITISH DECREE RANGOON, Burma, Jan. 27. The British government has ordered the abolition of slavery in Burma. Sir Harcourt Butter, Governor of Burma, at a reception of the Kachin chiefs of the district known as the Triangle, announced that "henceforth slaves must not be sold, given as part of dowries or in settlement of feudes; neither may families of slaves be broken up." Immediate arrangements will be made for the release of slaves and compensation will be paid the owners by the British government. It is estimated that 6,000 slaves will thus become free citizens. EPOCHAL EVENTS IN THE WORLD TODAY SOUNDING THE NEGRO'S CALL TO DUTY NEGROES MUST CONVINCE THE REST OF THE WORLD IN 1927 THAT "AFRICA FOR THE AFRICANS" MUST BE CONCEDED HON. FRED A. TOOTE, ACTING PRESIDENT-GENERAL, SOUNDS CLARION CALL TO DUTY Hon. W. A. Wallace, Secretary-General, Says U. N. I. A. Is All-Embracing; No Reason Why Any Negro Group Should Remain Outside the Fold Hon. F. Levi Lord, Chancellor, Says Events in China Have Vindicated Marcus Garvey—Only the Ignorant and Indolent Fail to Appreciate the Priceless Gifts He Has Made to the Race NEW YORK, Liberty Hall, Sunday Night, January 30. There was a great outpouring of the faithful on the occasion of the weekly mass meeting of the New York Local, and the proceedings in the forum of Negro liberty were marked by unbounded enthusiasm as the various speakers discussed world events, pointed out the lessons to be learned therefrom by the Negro and encouraged the membership of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and Negroes everywhere to go forward with renewed spirit, looking neither to right nor to left, until their righteous demands were conceded. Hon. Fred A. Toote, acting President-General, occupied the chair, while supporting him on the platform were Hon. W. A. Wallace, Secretary-General; Hon. F. Levi Lord, Chancellor, and a number of visitors. The Chairman was in fine fettle as, just returned from a trip to the division. 'the West, he told of the determination of the administration to go forward under full steam in the year 1927, which was destined, it seemed to him, to be a very eventful one in the history of mankind. Mr. John Blake, a visitor, gave a thoughtful address on "Unity," bidding the membership continue the glorious work on which they had embarked, for the plans had been drawn up by the Hon. Marcus Garvey, the great architect, and to discontinue at this stage would mean irreparable loss, the full extent of which could only be gauged by future generations. Splendid addresses were also delivered by Hon. W. A. Wallace and Hon. F. Levi Lord. Mr. Wallace spoke eloquently on the subject, "Work Without Faith Is Dead, and Faith Without Work Is Dead," while Mr. Lord kindled enthusiasm as he remarked that events in the East more than proved that Marcus Garvey was on the right track and that, given steadfastness and determination on the part of his followers, success was certain to perch on the banner of the Red, the Black and the Green. The text of the addresses is as follows: MR. JOHN BLAKE'S ADDRESS Mr. John Blake, a visitor, was introduced by Hon. Fred. A. Toote. Addressing the gathering he said it gave him great pleasure to be with them that evening. Though he was not a financial member of the organization, yet as a member of the race he felt he was one of them, and his heart was with them. After paying a compliment to the women workers of the organization he told his hearers that he was not an orator but simply desired to respond to the invitation to speak by saying a few words on "Ullty." Ullty was one of the most essential things in the life of a group, race or nation. It meant force, it meant strength; it was the uplifter and builder of the world. And so whatever they undertook they should think of the word unity. The result of unity was gladness, cheerfulness, happiness, joy and comfort. The Plans of the Architect Continuing, the speaker proceeded to make a striking analogy, comparing the Hon. Marcus Garvey to a great architect who was taken away from his work of building. "A great architect arose," he said, "and made an appeal to the Building Loan Association. I have sought a place to build,' he said. 'I have already drawn my plans.' This great architect laid his plans before the authorities. The agreement was made to build. The plans were given over to the various contractors and they started to build. But in the midst of building the great architect was arrested, he was tried and cast into prison for some false reason. "During this time the Building Loan Association is not supporting as strong as before. Some of the contractors discontinue because they think they would not receive their money. Some are discouraged because they do not believe the work will go to any height. The authorities of the Building Loan Association call a meeting. 'Gentlemen,' says the chairman, 'I am sorry at this time to say that the architect of this great work has been cast into prison but we have got the plans, the foundation has been laid. To continue is a gain, to discontinue is a loss. Thousands of dollars have been spent. Let us join hands in good spirit to continue this great work. Gentlemen, think of these plans deeply. They spell future prosperity and success. Let us send word to the architect within the prison walls that we are continuing to build and we are going to build no matter what the expense." The architect receives these words; his spirit is revivified, his courage is reinforced. Even though he is in the hands of the enemy, his plans prevail. "My friends, this appeals to you. You are the Building Loan Association, you are the contractors; your leader has been cost into prison. You have spent thousands of dollars, but you have got the plums.

I trust you may be able to continue to send good news to your lender within the prison wall that you are still in unity and determined to build to the name of the plan, also to continue making your meridian.

He hoped it would hot be long before Mr. Blake became an active member, assisting them in building according to the plans drawn up by the great architect. He then continued: "Fellow members and friends, I want to congratulate you on the splendid services you have been rendering during my absence. It is showing to the world that the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association are not looking to any one individual to lead them out of the labyrinth in which they have found themselves. I bring you greetings from the many divisions I have visited in the West, and later on I shall tell you of these divisions. But I must congratulate the auxiliaries and the whole membership, and we are hoping in the weeks to come to put over a great work here in New York. We will take no nonsense from anybody. Everybody must be on the firing line. This is your work, your responsibility, your duty. The world today is moving on and the spirit of the age has gripped the New Negro, and he has made up his mind to make his contribution to what this world is doing." HON. W. A. WALLACE SPEAKS Mr. Toots then introduced Hon. W. A. Wallace, secretary-general, who spoke as follows: "Ulliborne and members of the New York Local, visitors and friends: It affords me a great deal of pleasure tonight to look into your faces and witness the expectancy of those things that may be said of interest to you and to the advancement of this cause in the furtherance of which we are engaged. I shall talk to you for a few moments on the subject, 'Work without faith in dead; and faith without work in dead.' NEED FOR UNITY "There never was a time in the history of this race of ours since we have been a scattered people throughout the world that there was greater need for unity among us than at the present time. There never was a greater need for an all-race movement in which every Negro can feel he is a part in putting over the program. There never was a time when the consciousness of the Negro has been awakened to the extent that it has at the present time, through the propaganda of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and the proclamations of the Hon. Marcus Garvey. "It is conceded by those who are supposed to stand out as leaders, as they give expression to this program, that an all-race movement is necessary at this time. They concede that there is the necessity of unity of action among this race if we expect to preserve the race, if we expect it to have anything in addition to that which it has already. If we expect this race to survive there must be a greater unity in the future than there CATAPRH STOPPED IN ONE DAY "Choking Catarrh and Head Noises Left the First Day," is the Amazing Statement of a Missouri Resident Hawking, spitting, choking Catarrh and kissing, Road Noises and the many alarms that he heard need not be dreaded day longer.

This being the consensus of opinion, we ask ourselves then the question, 'What is the matter with the Universal Negro Improvement Association?' Program Ebraces All "The Universal Negro Improvement Association has a program that embraces the world of Negroes. It is broad—a program that encourages everything that can be conceived of that means for the betterment of this race of ours; a program that has an avenue along which all other organizations, along which every individual can work and co-operate in the interest of this race with which he is identified and yet not lose his identity in the organization. The Universal Negro Improvement Association gives opportunity to every organization that is working for the uplift, for the advancement, for the betterment, for the protection, for the preservation of this race of orus as no other organization gives the opportunity for such things to be accomplished. An Invitation "Then since this is a program in which every agency can be centralized for the preservation of the race, we may to these Negroes who concede that an all-race movement is necessary. After some time, we can get into the organization and let us further the program without one dollar or one thought from the white man." Let us have an alliance movement, Negro from the top to the bottom. And since Negroes furnish the material to carry it on, and since you concede it must be an organization carried on by Negro ideals and Negro dollars, why not accept the Universal Negro Improvement Association and lend your forces, lend your intelligence, lend your influence, lend your power and come into the organization and help us put it over in order that this race of ours may be saved? "And so we of the Universal Negro Improvement Association are asking the question, Why don't you accept it? Is it because you have misconceived its program? Is it that you don't appreciate the magnitude of this proposition? Is it because you misunderstand? We are hoping that is not the case. But if it is the case, that you do misunderstand, let us for a moment carry you into the fundamentals of this organization. Let us for a little while up to you some of the things it is endeavoring to carry out. What the U. N. I. A. Stands For "Yes, we have sat here, as it were, at the feet of Gamaliel, as we have read his Philosophy and Opinions, as we have listened to him as he stood upon this platform and proclaimed to the world what the Universal Negro Improvement Association was for, after having read his editorials as they have been issued to the world through the Negro World, we come to you and say that, having imbibed all of this wisdom as it has flowed from the mind of this great man, we can tell you tonight that the Universal Negro Improvement Association stands for everything that means the preservation of this race of ours. "Nowhere in all of his doctrines, in all of his proclamations, in all of his writings has he put forth an effort to divide his race. All his proclamations have been for unity. All of his cries have been 'Negroes, let us get together.' All of his energy has been used to make the Negro realize that he must co-operate if he must save himself from destruction. Not Antagonistic to the Church "Some have conceived the idea that he is antagonistic to certain activities in the Negro race. Some have conceived the idea that he is opposed to the church, that he is opposed to the ministers, and so forth, but nowhere in his preeminence, in his Philosophy and Opinion, or in his encounters from this platform has Marcel Garvey sought to antagonize ministers or the church, but he has said to the minister, 'Bring the Negro's head down from the cloud, wean them away from the golden crowns and the white robes and the golden slippers; bring them down to the earth here and talk to them about life and living and teach them how to get together. (Appointee.) We have said to them, 'The time has come for you to preach a new doctrine to my people.' He did not say churches must not be built elsewhere to give more and more information to God, but he said while you are preaching to them Queen of Hair Dressings Pluko HAIR DRESSING Price 50¢ PREPARED ONLY BY The Pluko Company Improved Pluko about the angels and cherubims and seraphims, and so forth, you must remember and you must tell them that the walls within which they are gathered are composed of brick and stone and iron, and every last brick in the wall, every last stone in the foundation, every last girder in the building is produced by a white man, and we want you to tell these people to go out and become contractors and put up their own buildings, so that when the buildings are put up the dollars will come back to them and the wherewithal will be furnished for Negroes to build themselves up. The preachers are merely asked to change their doctrine a little, change the manner of presentation, so that while our people may keep their eyes on heaven they may yet be able to live here on earth. Dominion Over the Earth "And so we want the world to get this conception—that the U. N. I. A. through its founder, does recognize that God must be worshipped in spirit and in truth; it recognizes that He is the great Creator and that to Him is due all praise and honor for our existence, for our health and strength, and for the talents which we possess, but God Almighty has said: Go ye out and have dominion over the earth." And if the Negro must have dominion over the earth he must use those things which God Almighty has given him and take possession of the earth and insure his future and his preservation. The white man has gone forth and used those things which God Almighty has given him. He has taken possession of the resources of the earth and utilized them for his preservation and enrichment, and it is for the Negro to do likewise." The speaker ended with a spatited appeal to his hearers to have faith and to labor unceasingly so that the goal may be spedially reached. HON. F. LEVI LORD'S ADDRESS Hon. F. Levi Lord, Chancellor, next spoke as follows: "We are now very seriously engaged, more seriously than ever before, in educating the Negro to the necessity of joining hands together in order that he may bring himself to that place in the sun which he should rightfully occupy. For seven years or more we have been preaching to the Negro of the necessity of becoming a united race to the end that he may be able to do something for himself, but unfortunately our preachings have fallen, in many instances, on deaf ears. "While the Hon. Marcus Garvey was preaching to the Negro of the necessity of unity, for self-betterment, Chinese were also being taught the necessity of uniting themselves for the benefit of China. The weaker countries of the world everywhere have been preaching to their peoples the necessity of joining hands to await the day when it will be necessary for them to strike a final blow for freedom. China Hearkened "China has been heartening to the preaching of her leaders. Every other race and nation has been heartening to the doctrines of their leaders, and at this time we and China is making an onward march toward the accomplishment of great things for China. China is now shaking off the burden of Great Britain, the burden of the United States of America, the burden of France and other countries in Europe that desire to impinge on China's rights. And so today we are being told that if an France N. Finston, Box 47, Hamilton Grange P. O., N. Y. YOUTH Englishman commits a crime in China, or a Frenchman, or an American, or any other national, he will have to submit to trial in Chinese courts according to the laws of China. (Applause). And so it is for Negroes to hasten the day when if a Britisher, or American, or Japanese, or Chinese commits a crime in Africa, he shall be tried by an African court according to the laws of Africa. After referring to other injustices which the new China is successfully correcting, the speaker continued: "Marcus Garvey has been crying to the Negro people of the world for more than seven years and some of them have been so ignorant, so childish that they would not heartset to the cry of Marcus Garvey when he said, 'African for the Africans at home and abroad.' They thought that Garvey was crazy, was a fool, but China is now showing to the world that Garvey is a man of vision, for the same thing that Garvey was asking for Africa, the Chinese are now asking for China. Valuation of Marcus Garvey Valuation of Marcus Garvey "Therefore, what are we going to do today? Are we going to continue to sleep. The world today recognizes the value of the man, Garvey. The only one who does not appreciate the value of the Hon. Marcus Garvey is the insignificant, lazy, ignorant Negro. But ask the Chinese statesman about Marcus Garvey and he will tell you that Marcus Garvey is the greatest visionary that ever lived, one of the greatest leaders of men. Ask the German about Marcus Garvey and he will tell you that Marcus Garvey is the greatest Negro that ever lived. Ask a true American about Marcus Garvey and he will tell you 'As I think of Washington in his relation to the United States, so do I think of Garvey in relation to an United States of Africa.' Ask an Englishman about Marcus Garvey and he will tell you that I compare Marcus Garvey to Great Britain's great geniuses, governmental, political, or otherwise. And I am wondering at this time whether the Negroes are reading the signs of the times, whether they are watching the trend of events so seeing for themselves that ever unworn race is endeavoring to... The member ended with a warning to his hearsen not merely to be enlisted over the philosophical awakening of the Chinese but to make up their minds to strike out for themselves "under God and Garvey," for at the present time they were helpless alike in the face of aggression on the part of yellow man and white man. HON. F. A. TOOTES ADDRESS Hon. Fred. A. Toote, Acting Presi- tent, spoke as follows: "I desire to speak tonight on 'The Call to Duty.' I am quite sure that you have been watching the trend of events, the current events that are riveting the attention of the world. And it is useless blinking the fact that in this coming conflict is the clash of colors. "The unrest which is now every- where in the world did not happen overnight.

And those of us who have the vision of an Africa redeemed are glad that this day has dawned upon us. Four hundred millions of us scattered the world over almost as sheep without a shepherd now want to stand up and proclaim "Thus far shalt thou go and no further." The Negro's Contribution "Today the white man is telling us that the Negro has never produced anything; has never accomplished anything. Quite recently in Kansas City a certain gentleman said that the Negro through all history stood like the tiphinx and the world passed on, and he stood and contributed nothing. And some of us believe that! But those of us who have been schooled in the Universal Negro Improvement Association will tell this gentleman that he is a liar, and that the truth is not in him, for Africa is the mother of the arts and sciences, and we today have heard the call to duty, we are determined to redeem Africa, and we are preparing ourselves to restore the pristine glory that the white race is trying so feverishly to steal from the Negro peoples of the world. Trying to Kill the Spirit "They are telling us that the ancient Egyptians were not Negroes. They are telling us that the Carthaginians who shook the world in ancient days were not Negroes. They see the great upheaval coming, and they are trying to kill your spirit, to make you feel that you do not amount to anything, that you have never accomplished anything. But, my friend, the Universal Negro Improvement Association issues at this time a call to duty to every Negro not only within the Universal Negro Improvement Association, but to every Negro in the world—for even our good friend Kelly Miller now realizes that something must be done in a united way to save the race. Kelly Miller said last week in the weekly Negro papers that he was criticized for his sanhedrim, but he realised that he could not do it by himself, he realized that the white marsh not going to help him to do it, and that it only remained for Negroes to do it for themselves. "And so you and I who have got the vision must now take the situation in hand and not allow 1927 to close its doors without our gaining a foothold in Africa. It is for us to make the world know and understand that we are determined to have a government in Africa. (Applause). Even Liberia has realized what she has done, and now she is telling the Christian missionaries to go. Do not misunderstand me, my friends, the Christian religion is all right, but the way it has been taught to Negroes is all wrong. When you tell me that a people must come into my fatherland, steal me away, make a slave of me, (Continued on page 10) Negro World A paper published every Saturday in the interest of the Negro Race and the Universal Negro Improvement Association by the African Communities League.

MONEY VALUES AS A GUARANTY OF RACIAL STRENGTH MAN makes and uses money, which is so much blood of his life coined into a medium of exchange. There is no reason why he should worship the money which he makes, or use it to oppress the weaker in the determination to increase his money values. Money is the servant of man who creates and stamps it as his own, and which cannot make man nor stamp him at all. It is for him to use it as a servant, as a part of his flesh and blood, and not allow it to use and abuse him, as if it were the creator and master. All this is well understood, but individuals and nations allow themselves to become the victims and servants of the money values they create and use to corrupt themselves and destroy others who may not be in a position to protect themselves and their interests. But no individual, no nation, can get very far without creating much wealth and using it wisely in the creation of more wealth. President-General Marcus Garvey sees very clearly on this as on most questions that affect the best interests of the Negro people. In his front page article in the last issue of The Negro World, among other things, he said: "It is the industrial and commercial progress of America that causes Europe and the rest of the world to think appreciatively of the Anglo-American race. It is not because one hundred and ten million people live in the United States that the world is attracted to the republic with such reverence and respect, respect not shown to India with its three hundred millions, to China with its four hundred millions. Progress of and among any people will advance them in the respect and appreciation of the rest of their fellows. It is such progress that the Negro must attach to himself if he is to rise above the prejudices of the world. "The reliance of our race upon the progress and achievements of others for a consideration in sympathy, justice and rights is like a dependence upon a broken stick, resting upon which will eventually throw you to the ground." "The Universal Negro Improvement Association teaches to our race self-help and self-reliance, not only in one essential, but in all those things that contribute to human happiness and well-being. The disposition of the many to depend upon the other races for a kindly and sympathetic consideration of their needs, without making the effort to do for themselves, has been the race's standing disgrace by which we have been judged and through which we have created the strongest prejudice against ourselves." These three paragraphs teach as much as a whole book could on money values as a guaranty of racial strength. They are a direct appeal to the Negro everywhere to develop and conserve his social, civil and economic values for himself and not for others. To do this he must be a producer as well as a consumer of things; he must be a buyer as well as a seller of things; he must be a saver as well as a spender of his money values. The Jew is all of this everywhere; the white races are very much of it everywhere. We must do as they do, or we shall fail. We must produce in common the things that are necessary and we must buy and sell among ourselves the things we produce and consume. It is all too one-sided now, where we are concerned, everywhere. Start the little business now and patronize it and stick to it until it becomes the big business. Begin with selling aboostrings, if necessary, but begin. Don't put off until tomorrow that which should be done today. All along the line we want more and more to rely upon ourselves and to do for ourselves, without dependence upon others, the things necessary to be done. We shall never get anywhere unless we learn more generally to buy and sell as well as produce and consume things. And it never is what we make that counts, but what we save. Save the pennies and the dollars will save us in any time of trouble. PRESIDENT KING OF LIBERIA DECLARES WAR ON THE MISSIONARIES THE Christian Negro of the United States was astonished last week to learn that President King of Liberia had adopted a policy of excluding missionaries and the support of mission work with their money in Liberia. He is quoted as saying: "The control of foreign religious bodies must be withdrawn, as well as their financial support, from the churches in Liberia." This is a quite drastic action than President Calles of Mexico has taken against the Catholic Church in Mexico. Not only was the Christian Negro of the world surprised at the policy to which President King had adopted the people of Liberia, but a vast army of white Christians of the United States and Great Britain, who have contributed to the missionary work in Liberia, were taken by surprise. We wondered that American missionary societies have much valuable property in Liberia, and it remains to be seen what they will do to protect it. President King proclaims the following as a policy: "In every nation, like every individual, must know God for itself and for others. As a people we Liberians are most apprehensive of the complete guidance and assistance we have received from the faithful directors and teachers, and recognize THE NETRO WORLD, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 2007 The Health of Your Children There are a number of diseases which menace children. They cause a great deal of suffering in themselves, and are often followed by serious after-effects. Far too many of us consider children's diseases as relatively unimportant and fail to realise how serious they really are. The most common children's diseases are menaes. diphtheria, scarlet fever, whooping cough, infantile paralysis, mumps and chicken-pox. A great many of these can be avoided or prevented if we watch our children carefully. First, teach them not to use other children's handkerchiefs, as many of these diseases are spread by the exchange of discharges of the nose and throat. Impress upon your children the importance of using their own handkerchiefs for all discharges of the nose and throat. Teach them to keep their handkerchiefs in their pockets when not in use and never to offer one which they have used to someone else. Never allow your children to put their mouths on anything which another person has taken into his mouth. Shun the common drinking cup. Protect your children from diphtheria and small-pox by having them immunised by toxin, anti-toxin and by vaccination. When your child is ill, has a cold, sore throat or fever, or vomits, call a doctor. Do not wait until something more serious develops before you take steps to save him from unnecessary illness. (From the Chicago Enterprise.) Society is essentially a complexity of multitudinous shops. We are all buyers and we we are all sellers. The goal for all is, in the last analysis, success. The determination of just what that success should be, varies, of course, but it is always and universally the ultimate aim. Fortunately—we are all not of one mind. But unfortunately we are not universally ambitious. Thousands of us are willing to sacrifice, to work, to strive, and even give our lives' blood for an ideal, while others crave the ideal, but do not want to buy it. Everything is secured by purchases, whether it be labeled by barter and exchange or what not. To secure what we want we must pay a price. Ordinarily, we do not view things as domestic happiness, love, virtue and honesty as purchasable, but, nevertheless, they are—just as certain as the night follows the day. Thus, we may confidently conclude that the sooner we realize that we must pay for everything and the sooner we are willing to pay the price, just that soon we will be on the road, toward the universal idea—SUCCESS. To meet defeat unfinishedly—face to face—requires courage. Any oward can meet success since it demands a particular reserve of strength. To go forward when the stars fall about us from our horizon—when the way home walked ahead—to go forward, there is a need of fortitude, faith and intrepidness. On the far side of defeat emerge men—real men, health-survived warriors, to whom Lidar's every blow is but a commending challenge! "Give us men to match our gratitude. Men to match our island pride. Men with empire in their purpose. And now one to their domain." WHAT WE BELIEVE The Universal Negro Improvement Association believes that no white man is good and honest enough to govern or rule the Negro, and no Negro is good and honest enough to govern or rule the white man, because Nature made them chemically separate and distinct, with their own selfish, respective, racial concepts, ideals, purpose and destiny. They are positively different and morally dissimilar. If the one, however, by laziness, neglect, indifference or greed thinks himself economically, politically, or otherwise, under the influence or distrustship of the other, then he has forfeited Nature's claim and the right to universal respect and protection. By becoming a being without pride or self-respect socially, politically, economically or morally, he has contributed to his own weakness and delinquency, and any abuse or advantage taken of him should be tolerated because he subsists to and encourages his own racial inferiority. the measurable benefits which have accrued to us therefrom; but the hour has arrived for Liberia's spiritual freedom and religious independence." This statement of policy is sound enough in principle. It is true that "every nation, like every individual, must know God for itself and not for another." That is the policy to which the Universal Negro Improvement Association was committed long before it worked itself through the head of President King of Liberia, who was a good enough Christian and willing enough to go along with the American Missionary societies and benefit by the moneys they spent in the republic, which was considerable, before the Firestone Rubber and Tire Company got into Liberia with a million-acre rubber concession and the promise to spend millions of dollars in development of their concession. The Negro pioneers of the United States and the West Indies who established and built up Liberia from the beginning to the point where it could be turned over to the Firestone Company, were Christian people, and we imagine their descendants are so now, and that they will probably have something to say about the abjurgation of their faith by the policy adopted off-hand for them by President King. But it is a question for the Liberians to settle for themselves, without outside interference. We are all interested, however, in knowing what has brought about so radical a policy in the life of Liberia as President King interprets it for us and with so much abruptness. Just how far the missionary people working in Liberia have interfered in the conduct of the government of Liberia we shall know as the question is presented from time to time by both sides to the controversy which has been precipitated by President King. But the faith of the American and West Indian Negro Christians in the future of Liberia has not been increased by the Firestone concession, the appeal for $400,000 subscription to the National bank stock and the exclusion of the Christian missionaries from the country. Things in Liberia do not appear to them to be working for good to those who love Liberia and wish it well. PRIZE WINNER DONATES PRIZE TO LIBEERTY UNIVERSITY GREAT many of the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association are so devoted to President-General Marcus Garvey and the work of the association which he founded that they consider the association first in all of their plans for a division of their time and resources. It is this singularness of thought which has brought and holds together the vast membership of the association in all parts of the earth. It is what Shakespeare styled "the one touch of nature which makes the whole world kin." It is the spirit which animates the white races to link up for the mastery of the world in commercial expansion and financial strength. In a crisis, when the interests of one is menaced, as in the rejuvenation of old China and its demand for control of its own affairs and equality of treaty rights, all of the white races stand shoulder to shoulder, and by so doing they invariably win. If they fight among themselves over the spoils after they have won, as they often do, that is another thing. The Negro people of the world, if they ever win, must learn to unite under their own leadership and think and act as one person, as the white races do when their interests are menaced by the darker races. And the Negro, taught by the Universal Negro Improvement Association, is learning to do this. He has much need to do so universally. Mr. Victor G. Cohen of Brooklyn, New York, who won the second prize in the "Why I am a Garveyite" contest, has donated his prize money, $10, to Liberty University, being his "initial donation towards that great Universal Negro Institution which is destined to revolutionize the educational status of our boys and girls." Mr. Cohen has the spirit of the Garveyite which has accomplished so much in arousing the Negro people everywhere to a consciousness of their racial strength and the importance of standing unitedly for the conservation and promotion of their social, civil and economic values. His donation shows his spirit of loyalty and interest in the work of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and it is bound to enthuse and encourage others to assist in making Liberty University one of the greatest institutions of Negro education in the world. Liberty University belongs to the Negro race. It is the business and the obligation of the members of the association to feed it with students and support it with money. We confidently figure that they will do so. All honor to Mr. Cohen for his talismanic donation. WAR CLOUDS HANG HEAVY IN THE EAST AND WEST DEVELOPMENTS in China have been very rapid and dramatic during the past ten days. The Chinese have got so far in their demands on the Treaty Powers, of which Great Britain is the most considerable, as to cease their factional strife in the demand for treaty revision along the lines of equality and the liberalizing of exterritoriality claims. This fact has constrained Great Britain to concentrate a larger army and navy force in the Far East than has been got together since the World War, and has given great concern to all of the Christian Powers, which feel that great events are suspended in the air by a very slender thread, which the slight movement of a trigger finger might cut sounder and precipitate a great war. All of the Christian powers feel that they must protect the lives and property of their merchants and concessionaires and missionaries in China and not leave it to the Chinese authorities, which is the exaltation of a principle in international law which the Christian powers claim for themselves but which they do not allow in the case of the Chinese and other non-Christian peoples of Asia and Africa. And they will insist upon the new principle until such time as the Chinese and other powers of Asia and Africa are able to assert their common rights by force of arms. The age-long war between East and West is slowly coming to a head. The right should ultimately prevail. What One Chinese Accomplished for The Chinese People From The Motion Hu Shih has returned to the United States. Nearly ten years ago he left us—an unexciting Chinese student who had attracted slight attention by winning a student essay prize and editing a Chinese students' magazine. Two years later word came back from China that a magazine referendum had voted him one of the twelve greatest living Chinese—along with a group of men twice or three times his age holdly advocating use of a despised vernacular tongue, he did for Chinese what Dante and Petrarch had done for Italian: he opened the doors of literacy to millions who could never have mastered the intricacies of the involved classic tongue. He urged his countrymen to write as they spoke, and he discovered an unsuspected dignity in vernacular works which had been despised by the literati. In the course of centuries the written language had lost contact with life, but life refused to be excluded from literature. The scholars of China despised the novel; Hu Shih picked up scores of wretchedly printed vernacular novels of the last two centuries, found among them masterly honest revelations of market-place life, remote from the studied artificiality of the classical scholars; these he republished, with scholarly introductions—and although the novels were available in cheap editions at a few cents each the more expensive editions sold out at once. The first volume of his unfinished "History of Chinese Philosophy" was the best seller of China for two successive year. He produced prodigiously—poems, dramas, essays—all in the language of the people. It was this literary revolution which made the "mass-education" movement possible. Those who are privileged to hear this professor of philosophy from the National University of Peking lecture will find in him a sensitive artist, a genial philosopher with an intuitive understanding of mass movements.

Russia wishes China well, thinks she should rule herself. America says, "Fix up any government upon which you can agree, and we'll recognize it." And fighting 400,000,000 Chinese would be like the recent fight of California farmers against invading mouse armies. Chinese and mice pay little attention to death—Arthur Brisbane. --- Brihame on China (Jan. 30) Senator Borah sees in China "a great people, after years of turmoil, strife and oppression by outside powers, coming into their own." The senator says, "The nationalistic spirit is uniting those (Chinese) people." He wants this country to leave them alone, while they become great. Senator Borah displays spirit worthy of Patrick Henry, Lafayette and Thomas Jefferson. However, the Chinese, speaking forty different languages, can't talk to each other. A great majority of them are natural-born pacifists, thinking it hardly worth while to fight. Senator Borah's great-great-grandchildren will be old before China changes from age-old stagnation to vigorous nationality.—Arthur Brisbane. Chance to Prove It ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., Jan. 27. —The missionaries went over to announce to China that there was a heaven, and now the Chinamen want to kill them to give them a chance to prove it. But some of the missionaries are showing a little doubt themselves. —Will Rogers. --- Whenever you are getting off a train and see three or four guys kind of mussing up around the door put your hand on your bankroll. That is the mob. The work is done exactly as on a street car, but in a train "griff" the sucker gets off and the mob stays on and rides.—Willie the Pickpocket. Liberty and Progress I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air—that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. Liberty in itself, to be sure, cannot bring in the millennium. It cannot abolish the inherent weaknesses of man—an animal but lately escaped from the jungle. It cannot take the place of intelligence, courage, honor. But the free man is at least able to be intelligent, courageous and honorable if the makings are in him. Nothing stands in the way of his highest functioning. Free, he may still be dull, timorous and untrustworthy. He may be shiffless and worthless. But it will not be against his will; it will not be in spite of himself. Free, he will be able to make the most of every virtue that is actually in him, and he will live and die under the kind of government that he wants and deserves—H. L. Mencken. --- Marital Ethics There is unnecessary inhumanity in the present code of marital ethics. A specious and exaggerated value is given to physical chastity. Marriage is supposed to confer upon each partner a physical monopoly of the other. This view of a husband and wife as a chattel leads to selfish jealousy. Marriage is a companionship, but a transfer of property. Each partner of right remains free. The "unwritten law" is jungle atarism. Marital unfaithfulness is, in itself, no just cause for divorce.—Dr. Slaten, a Progressive Clergyman. An Alibi for Liara Here's a psychological alibi for liars—empathy! If yours is a whimsical fiction-loving mind that tends to stray from the narrow path of absolute truth, don't let them call you a liar. Tell them you're emphatic and refer them to the writings of E. E. Titchener, Hugo Munsterberg, Francis Galton, or to Dr. Charles Gray Shaw and Douglas Fryer, respective heads of philosophy and psychology at New York University. Empathy is the result of having a better imagination than a memory. Trying to recall a situation, your memory fails to reproduce a clear, continuous story of what happened. In an effort to fill in the blanks your imagination pieces in the unremembered details with what might have happened or with what you wish might have happened. The curious part of this is that it is impossible for the emphatic person to tell just where memory left off and imagination began. And the more often the person tells the piece-together story the more vivid it becomes and the more firmly convinced he is that he is truth-telling—Alice Hughes. Words and the Law Testifying a few days ago at a New York murder trial, Dr. Lewis J. Smith, neuropsychiatrist, said that at the time of the shooting the defendant was, generally speaking, suffering from "epileptic psychosis super-imposed on his constitutional psychepathic inferiority." The Assistant District Attorney spent hours trying to shake this testimony. But the jury returned a verdict of "gullity of first degree murder." EDITORIAL OPINION OF THE NEGRO PRESS But if the press refuses to take a stand on the problems that affect the life of the community and its residents, then the press is not fulfilling its mission.—Red Bank Echo. If the members of our race will only wake up to the fact that we are only going to get what we are able to take we will prepare, ourselves to take what we so greatly need. There is only one way in which to take things, and that is to be in position to do so.—seattle Enterprise. The intelligent business man is everywhere coming more and more to recognize that advertising is not an expense but an investment, and the kind of investment that is just as essential to his business progress as in the utilization of modern machinery or the employment of skilled men.—The Western American. One function of money is to make more money for its possessor. It was not meant to be hearded, but to be used to furnish the lifeblood for the arteries of trade. Money that is set at work makes money, not only in a direct way for its owner, but indirectly for everybody.—Tampa Bulletin. There is a good old spring, where there is so much smoke in camp fire, and yet we find that there is an explosion in rumors and charges in those cases out of town. We have been so often misunderstood and misrepresented that we do not believe all we hear about any individual or group—Louisville Leader. No race which is conscious as to the physical, moral, mental and social welfare of its members can have a place in this punishing, competitive civilization of corn. The first concern is a healthy body; then a trained, disciplined mind; then a sound ethical conception; and, finally, a social video and outlook—Washington Tribune. Only the blind man will say that everything is "all right" in our country. There are many things that need thinking—things that need the golden rule and the rule of common sense and the teachings of compassion—Beverly Flint. Too many of us are self-confident; then we insult because we are not succeeding, when we do our best to fail. When we try to fail every other fellow we spot all we know, we place ourselves in an unappreciable position. There are a handful of things that need no objection, and which we learn this great we will keep to tell about something else.—Christopher Hale. The armed voters are in a vulnerable position. They are the only ones in the country who are still fighting for manhood rights. They must vote or protest. The only thing they can do is fight them and depth—political or physical—the most important one of the battlegrounds Canada. About the middle of August, 1927, New York will be host to the largest international organization among colored people in the United States, the Improved, Beneficent, Protective Order of Elks of the World. This organization, with a membership of more than 150,000, will send some 100,000 delegates and friends to Harlem. And this means that arrangements for housing, boarding and entertaining these visitors must be made in advance. The local lodges of Elks, assisted by the temples, are already working to make the Grand Lodge convention here the biggest and most successful in the history of the order, but they realize this cannot be done by the New York Elks alone.

Dispatch of Troops to China LONDON, Jan. 30.—The Communists have been busy in the past few days trying to induce the dockworkers to prevent the dispatch of troops to China by means of "direct action." They also tried to carry out propaganda among the troops leaving the country. At Southampton cases were reported by soldiers of certain persons handling leaflets to them, while yesterday copies of the same leaflet were distributed to Coldstream Guards when they left London for Southampton. The leaflet, headed "War" in very bold type, declares the workers are faced with a terrible danger. "We are on the brink of war with China," it says. "One more step and we will be over the precipice. The murderous Baldwin Government has made all its preparations. By the end of February 25,000 soldiers, sailors and marines with artillery, tanks and airplanes will be in Shanghai. You will wake up one morning and find the fighting started, unless you act now." Urgent Pressure on Government The leaflet continues: "Stop the new blood bath by forming 'Hands Off China' committees in every big town and village which will organise mass pressure on the Government and compete treacherous and sabotaging labor leaders to abandon their support of the Government policy." This incitement to the soldiers and dockers has been without effect. The transports conveying the troops to China settled amid scenes of great enthusiasm and without an untoward incident, and the troops have shown themselves the most enthusiastic of all. U. S. ATTITUDE (Continued from page 2) tary to show the willingness of the United States to deal liberally with China as to the unequal treaties. It was pointed out that the American delegation to the Customs Conference proposed that the powers authorize at once the levying by China of the 2% to 5 percent customs surtaxes agreed to at Washington.

"The Government of the United States was ready then, and is ready now to continue the negotiations on the entire subject of the tariff and extraterritoriality or to take up negotiations on behalf of the United States alone." Mr. Kellogg concluded. "The only question is with whom it shall negotiate. As I have said heretofore, if China can agree upon the appointment of delegates representing the authorities or the people of the country, we are prepared to negotiate such a treaty. However, existing treaties which were ratified by the Senate of the United States cannot be abrogated by the President, but must be superceded by new treaties negotiated with somebody representing China, and subsequently ratified by the Senate of the United States. Watched Nation's Progress "The Government of the United States has watched with sympathetic interest the nationalistic awakening of China and welcomes every advance by the Chinese people toward reorganizing their system of government. "During the difficult years since the establishment of the new regime in 1912, the Government of the United States has endeavored in every way to maintain an attitude of the most careful and strict neutrality as among the several factions that have disputed with one another for control in China. The Government of the United States expects, however, that the people of China and their leaders will recognise the right of American citizens in China to protection for life and property during the period of conflict for which they are not responsible. "In the event that the Chinese authorities are unable to afford such protection, it is of course the fundamental duty of the United States to ONEY famous RATIONS FOR YOU acting as agent for my wing is making davenor of from $8 to $80 a day in popular demand that I follow annually.

It is with the possible necessity for this in view that American naval forces are now in China waters. This Government wishes to do with China in a most liberal spirit. It holds no concessions in China since has never manifested any imperial attitude toward that country. It aims, however, that its citizens have given equal opportunity with the citizens of the other powers to reside China and to pursue their legitimate occupations without special privileges monopolies or spheres of special interest or influence." China is told that American naval vessels are now in Chinese waters solely for the protection of our citizens in the event the authorities there are unable to afford such protection. Million Dollars Asked For Bible Distribution In the annual report of the New York Bible House, 5 East 48th Street $1,000,000 is asked for to carry on the work during the ensuing year. Dr. George W. Carter, general secretary, said that nearly 1,000,000 copies of the Scriptures in sixty-seven different languages were circulated in New York City during 1926. But the surface has been only scratched, said M. Carter, and there are literally millions of persons who ask who Jesus Christ was and who need the spiritual help the Gospel will bring them. Officer elected for 1927 are: John C. West president; Everett J. Eselstyn, vice president; Charles W. Parsons, secretary, and Alfred P. Hilton, treasurer. I would like to communicate with Henry Moore Boss. Anyone knowing his whereabouts write to De. Gacon, 441 Manhattan Avenue, New York City.

PAY SAME NOW to the Secretary of your Branch, who will in turn forward same immediately to Headquarters, addressed to the Secretary-General, 56 West 135th Street, New York City FRED A. TOOTE; Acting President-General That our loyalty can go no further than our sincerity. That we subscribe to a program which holds no special appeal for the Negro who is a graduate of the white man's school of thought and reason. That the spirit of Garveyism is sweeping over Africa like a blinding hurricane while God watches over Garvey in Atlanta prison. That the United States sympathizes with the aspirations of the new Negro as interpreted by the Universal Negro Improvement Association. That we are winning the world's applause even though it is given in silence. That Lake Magadi in South Africa looks, even in hot summer, as if it were frozen over. It has a six-inch surface of crystals of carbonate of soda and strong enough to walk on, although there is plenty of water underneath. A large part of this world's supply of baking soda comes from Lake Magadi. That one of the strongest and most influential branches of the associationSOURISH under the British flag and is located in Bellize, British Mongura, Central America, home of the late illustrious Sir Isaal Morter. Their membership embraces all classes of the community and their Liberty Hall is one of the finest in the world. It is well patronized by the general public for functions and other gatherings. Quito recently the Loyal Order of Ancient nepherds, a local fraternal organization, held a public meeting there and the governor and his wife sat beneath the tricolor of African liberty and on the same platform from whence the doctrine of African nationalism is preached weekly. The division conducts an annual baby health contest which enjoys the patronage of his excellency the governor and other dignitaries. It is growing in popularity each year. All certificates of proficiency held by the Black Cross Nurses of this unit are endorsed by the governor and the principal medical officer of the colony. It enjoys the respect and moral support of white and black alike. Lady Davin, Fourth Assistant President General, recently returned from British Monguras, where she was the recipient of unusual courtesies. That the two great essentials of our organization are Men and Money. Our program cannot be felt as intended until we develop the leadership to push it forward. This means that we must educate ourselves in the science of government, of commerce and industry. It means the outlay of millions of dollars for educational purposes. This is a paramount duty on which much of the future depends. Great Britain owes her brilliant supremacy in world affairs to the birth of this truth. Her educators, financiers, and captains of industry gave her Oxford and Cambridge, from whence the cream of British statesmanship down. They in turn give to Britain the freedom and prestige she now enjoys. Investing wealth and power in untrained hands spells ruin and disaster. First train the hands through the brain and success is certain. Liberty University should be to us what Oxford is to Anglo-Saxons. Astute statesmanship and an intelligent control of wealth are responsible for the majesty of the British Commonwealth of Nations. There will be no redemption of Africa, no African nationhood, until we develop the men and control the wealth. These are imperative factors and Liberty University at Claremont, Virginia, can solve the problem if we but will it. SILENT FORCES FOR GOOD From The California Voice When we think of the greatest force in the universe we can make no guess when we think of the Sun. The Sun, the awful mighty silence. No one can bear him coming up or going down. There are many other silent yet mighty forces in the world, they are represented in human forces. The careful plodding, ordinary working man and woman. The individual who goes daily to a task, the one who answers the call of the daily grind. This is the Grand Army of the Republic. These noble men and women accept the humble duties of life, yet play a noble part, because they play the most ordinary, yet the most essential part on the stage of humanity. The most essential things have to do with the common walks of man. The man who cleans the streets, the man who disposes of the garbage, the woman who washes clothes, are numbered among the indispensables. The army of laborers who make the world go round, who with knotted hands and bent forms, have surely become our noble men and noble women. This grand army, often too unhonored and unsung, as the years go on, will come into a just place of recognition, for they serve where service must be rendered, while there are servants who serve where service may be rendered. These mighty forces do not sound a strumpet before them as they win the battle of the world. They should, at least, get a hurrah by those who stand on the side lines. The happiest, healthiest of the race are the tollers. IMMIGRANT TWO YEARS AGO, GIRL IS CLASS VALEDICTORIAN For the second time within two weeks the valedictorian at a public school commencement in the East has been a pupil who two years ago landed in America an immigrant, entirely ignorant of the English language. Dora Martin, then 14 years old, came here with her mother from Costa Rica. Two nights ago she was the valedictorian of her class at Public School 54, 104th Street and Amsterdam Avenue. Her scholastic record showed an average of 93 per cent. for the two years, and at the end of her grammar schooling she stood at the head of a class of forty-three students. She will continue studies at the Washington Irving High School, where she will take up commercial art. Last week Jasper K. Elmer, a Tupelovian boy, was the valedic- tion of his class at Reading, Pa. --- 135th ST. LIBRARY NOTES The Schomburg Collection of Negro literature at the 135th Street Library in the Division of Negro Literature and History is probably the largest and most complete collection of its kind in the country. There are about 5,000 volumes including many pamphlets. There are also many old prints and manuscripts from Africa and the West Indies. Some of the groups of books on various subjects in the Schomberg Collection are on "African Folklore and Art," "African Dialects," "Histories of the Islands of the West Indies," "Slave Narratives," "Church Histories," "Poetry, Drama and Fiction by and About the Negro." "Blogrpahies of Famous Negroes," "Histories of Lodges, Free-masonry," "Slavery, Underground Railroad, Etc," "Colonization," "Education of the Negro," "Travel in Africa and West Indies," "Ethnology," "The Negro Problem," "Histories of Africa," "Biographies of Abolitionists," "Negro Folklore in the U. S. and West Indies," and there are many foreign books in Latin, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese and Arabic. Among some of the rare foreign books are some by James E. J. Capitein, the noted Latin scholar and poet, born in Africa and educated in Holland. He wrote an elegy in Latin and a small volume of sermons in Dutch printed in Amsterdam in 1742. There is also in the Division of Negro Literature and History a very interesting exhibit of paintings by Palmer C. Hayden, whose work was exhibited at the Harmon Foundation and who received the first Harmon award for art. This exhibit will be here until Feb. 5. French Checker Champ Trains for Stunts PARIS.—The checker player who wishes to rise above the average must train like a football player, says M. Springer, a young Paris accountant who startled the checkers world by playing and winning two matches simultaneously, blindfolded. The feat, he explained, was much harder than that of the chess player who plays a dozen or so matches at the same time. The absence of distinctive playing pieces, such as knights, blishops and castles makes the play much harder to remember, he declared. The French checkers game, it must be added, is played upon a board of 100 squares and many intricate moves are permitted. M. Springer abstains from all alcohol and tobacco, dicta himself and devotes much time to outdoor exercise before an important match.

The Chinese war now being waged has done it. Ten years ago when Marcus Garvey started his crusade and informed a warring world that peace could only be brought about when each race group and nation learned to respect the rights of the other, and that as Europeans claimed Europe as their exclusive possession, so should Asia be for the Asiatics, and Africa for the Africans. He was laughed at by some Negroes and dubbed a "dangerous man" by European landgrabbers. Today the slogan "Asia for the Asiaties," created by a black man, is the war-cry of millions of oppressed Chinese, who are letting Europeans know and feel that their home is in Europe, unless they are willing to be governed by Chinese. Today thousands of white people are packing up bag and baggage and leaving China for the Chinese. Hundreds of years of prayers, petitions and appeals made no impression on the powerful nations of Europe, who were busy exploiting China, but less than one year of fighting made them decide to leave China alone to work out her own destiny. Under the caption, "Want It? Fight for It," Mr. Brisbane, of Hearst's publications, writes: "If you want anything, in selfish civilization, fight for it. China starts fighting, and Europe suddenly becomes polite. Russia wishes China well, thinks she should rule herself. "America says, 'Fix up any government upon which you can agree, and we'll recognize it.' "Britain, sending troops and warships, does not want to use them and tells China she can have anything she wants, even the right to control her own territory and tariffs, if she will be reasonable.

Professor Coss will return June 17 in order to take up his duties at the school. For several years the administration has been collecting material for a course in Oriental civilizations, which will be akin to the present contemporary civilization course. To get first-hand interesting data it was though advisable to send Professor Coss on the trip. The professor will begin his research work in India, from where he will go to Ceylon. After that he will proceed to many of the larger cities in China, ending his trip after a five-week stay in Japan. He will return by way of California. Professor Coss has letters of introduction to many of the leading figures in art, historic, philosophic, economic and political worlds. In each of the countries he visits he will gather material and check up on the information thus far obtained for the course. It was because of the increasing part that Oriental countries are playing in world history that it was deemed advisable to make the effort to install the course. The university already offers scattered courses in various Oriental subjects, but this will be a comprehensive survey of the whole of Eastern civilization, just as the present contemporary civilization course takes in all of the Western world in the various fields.

MEXICO SEEKS JAPANESE TRADE By JACK STARR·HUNT (In the Tribune) MEXICO CITY.—A growing friendliness between Mexico and Japan and tokens of interest of the latter country in Mexican products are noted by Dr. Carlos Puig Casauranc, Minister Plenipotentiary of Mexico to Italy, to which post he was appointed recently, and former Mexican Minister in Japan. Dr. Puig is here from Italy for a short visit and will return to his post shortly. "In the eleven months that I was in Japan," said Dr. Puig, "I had numerous opportunities to take exact stock of the profound sympathy that exists there for our country and for the Mexican people, a sympathy that is but the reflection of that which we hold for the Japanese people. "Our relations with Japan have always been extremely cordial, and it is to be lamented that, with so strong a current of sympathy flowing between the two peoples, commercial relations between the two countries are carried forward on such a reduced scale. However, during the last two years an appreciable increase has been noted, and in Japan a marked increase is manifested in some of our products, principally petroleum, fibers and cotton, which have not been extended further because of the lack of frequent direct communications between Japan and Mexico, since at present there is only one vessel that comes into the port of Manzanillo every fifty days. Almost all Mexican products that go to the powerful Oriental empire must leave from Mexican ports. "I left in good shape an arrangement whereby the Japanese vouch that make the service between Japan and Argentina and which on their return come into the port of New Orleans should in the not distant future establish in their itinerary our own port of Vera Cruz, signifying, the closer trafficking of commercial relations and the augmentation of the importation of Mexican articles: Petroleum, cotton shorn, woods and unmixed meat, which can be sent from this capital to Vera Cruz. "Japan has not forgotten that Mexico was the first country in the world to recognize her extraterritorial rights in Japan, convinced that every people, every million has the perfect right to command in its own territory and to assert the domestic legislation that is drawn on our." THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1987 BIRTHRATES DROP IN NORDIC LANDS Other Northern European Nations Follow French Example It is a well-known fact that the birth rate in France has come down to very low figures during the last twenty years and that the yearly total of births does not exceed the total of deaths by more than 90,000 or 90,000 A fact not so well known is that the example of France is being followed by most of the nations of Northern Europe; this is shown in a striking way in the following statement: Birth per 1,000 inhabitants Countries 1901 1912 1926 France and Ala- nace Lorraine 22.3 13.9 18.7 Germany 35.7 27.5 29.5 Belgium 29.4 22.4 19.6 Denmark 29.7 25.6 21.1 Great Britain 29.0 25.0 18.6 Norway 29.6 25.2 19.8 Holland 32.3 26.1 24.3 Sweden 27.0 25.1 17.5 Switzerland 29.1 23.1 19.3 In Sweden and Great Britain the birth rate, as may be seen, has gone lower down than it has in France; it has fallen nearly as low down in Belgium, Norway, Switzerland and even in Germany, where the decrease has been exceedingly rapid. It is surprising, at first, to remark that the proportion of births which has diminished in such a way in the other above-mentioned countries has not greatly declined in France from 1913 to 1925, although that nation is the one which, during the war, lost the greatest proportion of young men. This phenomenon, however, is explained if one is acquainted with the great effort that has been sustained in France since a few years in order to encourage natality and to give assistance to large families. Parliament has drafted numerous laws which grant important pecuniary privileges to those families, and most of the chief French manufacturers gave to their employees, besides their salaries, special allowances in proportion to the number of their children. Also, the mother of a large family receives a medal from the State and is treated by special regard by everybody, whereas her fecundity in the past was often the object of desision. These efforts have very nearly stopped the decrease in the natality of France; they have been the cause of an increase in the number of births in certain parts of the French territory. This is a very interesting result, because, if one day a lowered natality became a danger to the white race, it would show the way toward successful remedies. Slump in Cotton Affects Egypt's Trade LONDON. — For the first time in many years, says a Cairo dispatch to the "Daily Mail." Egypt had an adverse trade balance last year because of the slump in cotton. Imports dropped £6,000,000, while exports dropped £17,500,000. The Egyptian Government, it is added, has decided to extend purchases of cotton futures to February instead of limiting them to January. During 1925 Egypt's imports amounted to £58,224,805 and the exports to £52,126,662. U. S. Exports Urge Use of Thinner Brick More than ten million square yards of brick paving are laid in the United States each year. The United States Department of Agriculture announces that exhaustive teets show that a saving of approximately $2,000,000 a year can be brought about by the use of thinner brick. A standard brick of 2½ inches is recommended for roads bearing heavy traffic and a 2-inch brick for light traffic roads, says the "Thrift Magazine." Women Faster Workers Than Men That women can work faster and often more accurately than men, but that men have better powers of judgment, is stated as the result of a series of experiments recently made by Isabel Stewart at the Psychological Laboratory of Johns Hopkins University. Similar tests were given to school children, and the girls found superior to the boys in speed and accuracy of performance, but the boys outside them in judging weights and distances.

Universal Negro Improvement Association. W. A. WALLACE, Secretary-General. In 1919 Kasem Ameen Bay, a prominent Egyptian lawyer educated in France, wrote a book entitled "Liberty of Women." In this book he incited the women of Egypt to discard the yashmak, or veil, on the ground that this covering of the face was a great obstacle in the way of good education and real civilization. His plea for the emancipation of women was supported by one political party alone, the El-Ommah (Nation) party, and by one newspaper alone, "Algaridah," the party organ. Under the influence of the sheikha of Al-Azhar, the great University of Cairo, all other parties and the rest of the native press fiercely assailed the author. By the ulemas, or religious professors, he was denounced as an unbeliever in Allah, in the prophet Mahomet, and in the sacred Koran. The students of Al-Azhar staged hostile demonstrations against the El-Ommah party and its newspaper. Kassam Ameen Bey is dead, the sole party which supported his plan has disappeared, but his work lives after him. Today a very great number of Egyptian women, headed by Sofiah Zaghlul, wife of the Nationalist leader, Saad Zaghlul Pasha, and another leading feminist, Hoda Sharawi, mother-in-law of the Egyptian Minister to Washington, go about not only unveiled, but in European dress. They participate in dinner parties and tennis parties given at social clubs and hotels. They attend performances of English, French and Italian plays and operas. They go to the movies. They even smoke. Now the emancipation of the upper class women of Egypt has been completed by the wave of enthusiasm for dancing which has swept away the last vestiges of harem tradition, and their menfolk, willy-nilly, are learning to Charleston. An Armenian dancing teacher assures the "Herald Tribuns" correspondent that 50 per cent. of his pupils are Egyptian women and men. A Porlan teacher numbers among his men pupils an ex-Minister of Agriculture and an ex-Ambassador to Teheran. European as well as Oriental teachers are being called upon by Egyptian women and children to loosen up their ankles. The new dancing craze in Egypt still is limited to the upper classes. The lower class women, far from studying the Charleston, still cling faithfully to the yashmak, and how fast Western fashions, will percolate downward through the social strata against the opposition of the ulemas remains to be seen. Soul Probably Survives Bodily Death. Says Savant Evanson, Ill., Jan. 25.—Life is not a mechanistic theory, and should not be tolerated as such. Dr. Hans Driechle, professor of philosophy at Leipzig University, told students at Northwestern University. He said: "Life is not a machine. Some spiritual force directs it. "I believe the soul acts into space, goes beyond the body, because it is not composed of matter. It cannot sit on a little chair in the brain or force through the body like an electrical current. "The mind is something for itself. Some conscious force, which many prefer to call the soul, directs the actions, while the subconscious regulates the physical." He said he tried the experiments of Dr. Pilmer Northrop, professor of scientific philosophy at Yale, who asserted that by destroying one of the life cells of a frog he had produced a half a frog, half a head, one eye, one leg, and so forth. Dr. Brennan asserted he had produced a whole frog, although a half also one, by pluring one of the life cells. He added: "Mechanism fails to explain this phenomenon. Material must be spiritual force. "I do not know whether or not the soul lives after death, but in the light of philosophy and science the survival of the soul is not only possible but probable." EVOLUTION WAR A JOKE NO MORE Nine More States Expected to Pass Laws This Year—Head of Science League Gives Figures SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 24.—That the teaching of evolution now is forbidden in approximately two-thirds of the rural districts of the United States is asserted in a statement just issued by the Science League of America, with headquarters in San Francisco, over the signature of Maynard Shipley, the league's president. Mr. Shipley, who has taken the fundamentalist drive on evolution very seriously, believes this statement will come as somewhat of a jolt to educators and scientists, especially to those who laughed so heartily at the Tennessee "monkey trial." Though Mr. Shipley's statement has come almost coincidentally with the introduction of an anti-evolution bill in the California State Legislature it treats the question as a national rather than a local issue. The statement reviews engagements in the "war over evolution" since the Florida Legislature in 1923 passed a unanimous resolution declaring it "contrary to public welfare for teachers paid by taxation to teach as a fact any hypothesis that links man in blood relationship with any lower form of life." In the same year the Oklahoma Legislature passed a similar law, which was later repealed, but enforcement of which Mr. Shipley says is now being urged. The Texas House of Representatives decided that "this most damnable doctrine of evolution" should be banished from the schools and colleges of the state, and last year the Texas text book commission had all mention of evolution deleted from school texts. Similar action had already been taken in Kentucky and Florida, and was later taken in Louisiana. Scoops' conviction in Tennessee was followed by the passage of an anti-evolution law in Mississippi. During this year, Mr. Shipley states, anti-evolution laws are scheduled for Arkansas, North Carolina, Kansas, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Texas, California, Oregon and Washington. Introduction of the Helsinger bill in the California Legislature has aroused considerable protest, leadership in organizing the opposition being assumed by liberal religious men and science teachers. The bill would prohibit the teaching of evolution in elementary and high schools as a fact, and hence would not change educational affairs here much, as under a ruling adopted in 1925 by the State Board of Education evolution may be taught in California high schools "merely as a theory," not as a fact or actual process of nature. Let Fish Have More Prominent Place in Menu For centuries the idea has prevailed that fish is a mere substitute for meat, but a food not nearly so nourishing as meat. This idea is no doubt due to the Catholic edict that fish shall be eaten on Friday, which is a fast day. But recent scientific analysis reveals the fact that fish is very nutritious and wholesome. Fish is a most economical food, many varieties being always low-priced, and all varieties having little or no waste. The bones, fat and waste tissue in many cuts of beef, lamb, fowl and game frequently come to several pounds, which are paid for at the regular price for the edible meat. In fish, bones, fish, tails and other waste are very light—only a few ounces. Of course, such varieties as oyster, scallop, etc., have not even that small amount of waste. The fibers of fish are very tender and soften quickly under heat, therefore fish requires only short cookings. But the housewife should learn methods which will keep in the natural oil and juice, and not let them come out and be hush leaving the fibers of the fish dry and rather instable. Now cooking, either in the oven or boiling, always results in just that—the juice comes out and the fish learns its street flavor. Fish would be an even more popular food than it is if housewives knew more about the many variations as well as new and attractive ways to cook all variation, familiar as well as new.

NOTES OF INTEREST Man's Greatest Treasure? Man's greatest treasure is man himself. In order to turn the earth to good account man himself must be turned to good account. In order to make proper use of the soil, of the mines, of water power, of every substance and every latent force in our planet, we need mankind as a whole. If the entire globe is to be made the most of, white, yellow and black must all work together. By decreasing, by reducing, by weakening a part of mankind we are working against ourselves. It is our advantage that the yellow and black men be powerful, rich and free. Our prosperity, our wealth, depend on their prosperity and their wealth. The more they produce the more they will consume. The more they profit by us the more we will profit by them. Let them enjoy freely the fruits of our toll, and we shall enjoy freely the fruits of theirs.—Anatole France.

Cure for Fear of Death Perhaps the best cure for the fear of death is to reflect that life has a beginning as well as an end. There was a time when we were not: this gives us no concern. Why, then, should it trouble us that a time will come when we shall cease to be? I have no wish to have been alive, hundred years ago, or in the reign of Queen Anne. Why should I regret and lay it so much to hear that I shall not be alive a hundred years hence, in the reign of I cannot tell whom?—Hazlitt. Turkey Reorganizing On Western Lines Turkey fully realizes, under the invaluable leadership of Mustapha Kemal Pasha, the vital necessity for her to reorganize herself on Western lines and provide herself in a limited space of time—twenty or at the outside thirty years—with the minimum of cultural and material equipment that will permit her to rank among the progressive nations. Straining every nerve to attain this object, she has resolutely, earnestly and passionately launched on a program of wholesale and radical reforms of which the greater number have already been carried through, some translating themselves already into practical forms of achievement. A. Rustem Bey. Human Dynamics Everything that is made on earth is first made in the human head. Pictures, ships, rugs, dishes, tunnels, airplanes, medicines, books, gardens, jewelry, houses, hair nets—all great or small, solemn or ridiculous, things are made in the human head before they can be touched by hand or seen by eyes. Color is made in the human head. Red, blue, orange, purple—all these hues, flame in the brain before they are transmitted to material. Music is made in the brain. Wars are made in the brain. The steel dynamo can be used to execute an idea. But the human dynamo originates the idea and then transmits it by skill of hand or force of personality.—Elise Robinson. C. L.

We rise and take the shutters from the shops. And turn again to goods and bargaining. We set the scale and bring the leaden weights; Measure and cut and tie the careful string. We count and fold, and calculate the coat. And set the figures down upon a page. Buying and selling is a gentle art If it be gently practiced. All men know Our daily bread is purchased at a price; The friendly jug of wine, the pilgrim shoes; The tunic and the cloak, the feathered cap; The book of strange old tales, the jewelled ring; The silken panel hanging on the wall; The crystal cup, the alabaster jar— Even the precious ointment; all these things Are purchased at a price. Fen to it, friend. That in the traffic of the market-place You sell not any portion of your dream— Those things the stars have told you, and those things The dark leaves whispered close above your head. And when at evening time you count your gains. Count, too, the understanding of a word. Count merriment and singing; for I know There is no price can pay you for the lack Of laughter and delight. There is no price. No heap of golden coins can ever pay for dearth of kindly hands and kindly eyes. You call me fool and dreamer. And I say "Thank you, my friend. The dreamer and the fool. Having naught else but folly, and his dream, Will keep them to the end. Do you go on Buying and selling in the market-place. And I will sing my foolish little song That is not made for bargaining and trade, But only for the other dreaming fools Who stop and listen in the starry night." BARBARA YOUNG.

THE NEGRO WORLD, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 1927 To All Divisions and Chapters We are calling upon you as members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association to see to it that your secretaries and presidents make their proper monthly reports to this office. Many secretaries have neglected to do this and letters sent to them from this office have failed to bring response. We are therefore taking this means to urge the members to insist that these reports be made from now on or elect officers who will make them. That your interests may be protected it is absolutely necessary for us to have these reports each month. You pay in your dues and expect the Parent Body to receive that which is due them. Your Constitution instructs these secretaries what they should do, but many of them have failed to do their duty and your interest as members suffers thereby. This is imperative and if we are to have success it must be done. Yours for better things in 1927, with "forward" the watchword, we are Fraternally yours. UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION. W.

Por el hecho de haber asistido al verdugo oficial de Cuba en tres ejecuciones a garrote, luego de haber sido puesto en libertad, fue expulsado del país. Al tener el gobierno inglés conocimiento de la expulsión, notificó a las autoridades de inmigración de Cuba que dicho sujeto no seria admitido en Trinidad. Particularidad de la característica de una raza—La separación y sus tendencias funestas—Nuestro progreso como arma para combatir el prejudicio en nuestra contra—El éxito de un individuo ó de una agrupación le fortifica en la lucha por su existencia Una y otra vez se ha dicho que es una labor ardua y dificultosa el organizar y mantener unidos grandes contingentes de nuestro elemento para el bien comun. Muchos han tratado de asociarnos pero han fracasado; siendo la razon de ello lo particular de nuestra característica, tendente esta a mantenernos separados, antes que congregarnos, unirnos para nuestra propia salubridad racial. Inglaterra basa su actitud en que Davis perdió el derecho a la ciudadanía inglesa, al estirarse en el ejército de los Estados Unidos durante la guerra hispano-americana; y este pais entiende que Davis no ha presentado solicitud para obtener los papeles de naturalización, no pudiendo ser considerado como ciudadano norteamericano. La maldad de nuestra separación interna esta aniquilando nuestra existencia como pueblo, y si nosotros seria y ligeramente no nos movemos en la dirección de un reajuste, este simplemente indicaria como immediata conclusión nuestra ruina total, colocandonos en el cero en lo que a las actividades modernas concierne. Davis sera enviado de nuevo a Cuba en uno de sus transportes, donde permanecera como prisionero, hasta que las autoridades de la república decida la suerte del fortunado elemento de nuestra raza. Por varios años esta organización ha venido laborando en pro de la unificación de nuestra raza, no solamente en lo que ataune a nuestra vida nacional doméstica, sino que con clarísima visión extiende su radio de acción al ilimitado circulo universal, abarcando así todas y cada una de las exigencias de los cuatrocientos millones de negros disseminados sobre la faz de este planeta. El éxito que hemos alcanzado en el curso de nuestros esfuerzos es por demas alentador, considerando el tiempo consumido y el medio ambiente que rodea el objeto que perseguimos. Su expulsion fue ordenada debido a una protesta de los presidarios de la carcel de Santiago de Cuba, en cuyo recinto le habian amenazado con matarlo. En este país sequestran al negro de una prisión para lincharle; en otros sitios le sacan la carcel con la intención de librarle la muerte. A esto preguntamos nosotros; Quien esta a cargo de la seguridad personal del descendiente de Etiopia? Esta institución universal de la raza ha presentado los medios para la solución del problema. Tal parece que el mundo entero esta en contra del negro; y la dificultad de nuestra generación es el separarnos del prejuicio que se oculta dentro y fuera de la acción de un ambiente internacional. El prejuicio es condicional por muchas razones; y es por demas aparente que el negro suministra conciente o inconcientemente todas las razones por las cuales, el mundo parece ignorarle y evadirle. Comoquiera de que el negro se mantiene a sí mismo pobre, indefenso, sin ninguna demostración ni ostentación, es natural que nadie le necesite, desee ayudarle, le procure y le solicite. Para competir con el canal Los planes para la construcción de la gran obra de ingeniería moderna que según los científicos costará ciento cincuenta millones y competirá con éxito con el canal de Panama, han sido revelados. El progreso es la atracción que mueve a la humanidad; y a cualquier pueblo ó raza que le acompane esta "virtud moderna," se encontraria indefectiblemente con el esplendor de orgullo y propia estimación, condiciones estas que no le harán fracasar y le ganarán el respeto y admiración de todos. Es el progreso de la raza anglo-sajona lo que la particulariza, obteniendo el respeto de todo el mundo. Cuando esa raza no tuvo progreso ni acontecimientos a su crédito, entonces, como todos los pueblos inferiores, pagó el precio de la esclavitud, de la venta humana bochornosa, así como biennien pasó por el requemo del prejuicio. La via terrestre para el transporte de vapores los hara pasar el istmo en la parte sur de Méjico a una velocidad de veinte millas por hora. Un vapor ferroviario a través del istmo de Tehunantepec en la parte más meridional de Méjico con capacidad suficiente para transportar los vapores trasatlanticos mayores del mundo es el suelo actual de ios capitalistas europeos. Nosotros no podemos olvidar el tiempo, cuando el antiguo británico era considerado como un ser demasiado torpe para ser un buen esclavo romano; no obstante, hoy la influencia de esa raza gobierna al mundo. Es el progreso industrial y comercial de este país, lo que causa a Europa y al resta del mundo el pensar apreciativamente de la raza anglo-americana: no es porque son cien millones de habitantes que el resto del mundo fije su atención en esta república con tanta reverencia y respeto, respeto y reverencia que no se le demuestra a la India con sus trescientos millones, ni mucho menos a la China con su immense población de cuatrocientos millones. El proyecto que desde hace tres años se viene madurando está pendiente solamente de la aprobación final en consideración en la actualidad del gobierno mejicano. Los enimientes ingenieros alemanes asociados en un tiempo con el banquero Stinnes y que ahora se hallan en esta ciudad rumbo a Méjico, dicen que esta aventura al terminar será rival más notable del canal de Panamá, pues el costo del transporte por esta via será menos en proporción que lo que cuesta hoy por el canal. El progreso de cualquier pueblo lo llevará hacia la estima y aprecio de los demas pueblos; y es tal progreso lo que el negro debe asimilarse, si quiere elavarse sobre el prejuicio de que es objeto en la actualidad. La confianza de nuestra raza de descansar sobre el adelanto y grandes hechos de las otras razas, para obtener consideración y simpatia, justicia y derechos, ofrece el mismo ejemplo que nos, presenta la inclinación de nuestro cuerpo, dependiendo de la resistencia de un bastón roto para apoyarnos, con la resultante de que cuando menos nos demos cuenta, daremos en tierra con nuestra pobre humaidad. Es la afirmación de los ingenieros mencionados, que se pueda abrir un canal para el paso de vapores se puede construir un ferrocarril para el transporte de los mismos y el costo del mancionalo sera de ciento cincuenta a ciento setenta y cinco millones. El plan acordado por los ingenieros y apoyado por los capitalistas europeos sera sometido en breve la aprobación final del gobierno mejicino y marea la ruta del ferrocarril en una linea casi recta y plana extendiéndose desde la ciudad de Coatzacalcoales a la salida del rio del mismo nombre en la bahía de Campeche, estado de Veracruz a través del isto a una distancia de ciento diez y siete millas terminando en Huaxtaltán, estado de Oaxaca en la costa del Pacifico. La Asociación Universal para el Adelanto de la Raza Negra enseña a nuestra raza, a que se ayude y confie en si misma; no solo en lo intimamente esencial, sino en todo aquello que contribuya a la mejor perfección de nuestra existencia y a una felicidad extrema. La disposición de muchos en depender de los demas para obtener simpatia y ser considerados caritativamente en sus necesidades, sin hacer esfuerzos por si mismos para conseguir lo que realmente deseen, ha sido la desgracia imperante de nuestra raza y por lo cual hemos sido juzgados; causa esta que ha traido consigo la creación del prejuicio mas terrible con que somos mirados hoy. Conferencias por radio Se ha inagurado por el gobierno de la república de Haiti en la ciudad de Port-au-Prince, una serie de conferencias instructivas ofrecidas al pueblo por medio de la estación perifoneadora de dicha ciudad. No hay fuerza o poder como el del éxito; y por tal razon el individuo hace todos los esfuerzos imaginables en la vida, para conseguirlo y tener evidencia del mismo. Tal como le acontezce al individuo, es aplicable a la raza y a la nación. El esplendido éxito de Rockefeller le constituye en un poder en esta nación americana; el éxito de Henry Ford le hace aparecer como objeto de respeto universal. Pero a nadie importa la vida del trampa, aunque sea convocino de estos dos magnates. Así va el mundo; a este le atrae si esplendo de las razas y de las naciones, y no presta atención alguna al monasteroso que vaga por el arrojo del destino. Las conferencias se dictan en lengüe popular para mejor servir al mayor número de sus habitantes. Estan estan presentadas por dos de los servicios técnicos del gobierno—el de instrucción del departamento de agricultura y el de sanidad. El primero ofrece instrucción los problemas del agricultor—cultivo de todos los productos e instrucciones sobre la industria madura. Al corriente ya nuestro elemento del propósito de esta institución, es su deber cooperar con su programa no solo moral sino materialmente. El éxito de esta será incucionablemente el éxito de la raza; de aquí que vayamos todos midia a destruir los obstáculos de cara al progreso y reparados para mas constructivos acontecimientos, hacia menos más grandes y más elevados. El otro departamento ofrece instrucciones sobre la prevención de enfermedades, cuidados de enfermos y sanitarios de condiciones sanitarias, así como también la preparación de alimentos para niños y enfermedes. El Tratado entre Estados Unidos y Panama obliga a este País a seguir la politica intercultural americana Toda la prensa europea crítica ese Tratado, y lo encuentra como enderezado contra México (Del A B C. Guibdo. Colombia) La prensa del mundo entero comenta diversamente el Tratado celebrado entre Estados Unidos y Panamá. Dicho Tratado—del cual apenas se conoce una parte—pues aún no ha sido aprobado por el Congreso panameño, establece que Panamá se obliga a ceñirse en toda su política internacional a las ordenes que se le impartan por la Secretaria de Estado de Norteamérica. En caso de que algún País declaro la guerra a Estados Unidos, la nacion panameña queda obligada a entrar en la guerra a favor de Estados Unidos. La prensa alemana considera que ese tratado sigifica un principio de la guerra de Estados Unidos contra Mexico. En general, los diarios europeos estan contra ese pacto, que consideran como el fruto del imperialismo yanqui y una verdadera vergüenza para Panamá. Los diarios franceses dicen que en caso de que Panamá apruebe ese tratado, lo cual no tiene nada de raro, derer la poquísima ilusoria independencia que hoy tiene. Los diarios italianos se expresan en el mismo sentido. Los alemanes declaran que esperan que el sentido común de los panameños presionara en la Asamblea Nacional para que no se apruebe tan bochornoso negocio. La prensa londomense hace commentarios en forma muy diplomática. China se revela en contra del dominio Europeo Una de las sorpresas contemporaneas es la protesta de China, sobre el dominio europeo en su territorio. El hecho de que China se halle envuelta en una guerra civil, con dos secciones luchando por el poder, la proporcionado la oportunidad a las naciones europeas, para poseisonar gradeualmente del territorio y la administración de los asuntos de los antos de la La excusa de estas actuaciones es "la protección de los intereses extranjeros" en aquel país. Inglaterra, naturalmente, ha sido "la mas ofendida" en dicha revolución; sin embargo es de notarse con gran interes como ella ha demostrado "una gran disposición," al acceder a las reformas demandadas por los chinos. La protesta en cuestión de parte del pueblo chino, pone de manifiesto el despertar de su lettergo de tantos años, con el objeto de colocarse en posición de realizar grandes cosas en la civilización contemporanea. India y Filipinas, sus vecinos, empiezan a sentir también la influencia de su conciencia racial, y el derecho a gobernarse por si mismos, sin la intromisión de ninguna raza o nación extranjera. Comentarios de un candidato al senado El señor W. B. Wilson, candidato que contiende sobre la elección de senador en el estado de Pennsylvania, comenta la actitud de este gobierno sobre la cuestión centroamericana del siguiente modo: Escasamente tenemos ya un amigo al sur del Rio Grande, y universalmente hemos solviantado el odio contra nosotros mismos de tal modo, que las consecuencias económicas son graves, pues nuestro comercio esta difimmyendo. Ello ha llegado a tal punto que durante una gran parte del año pasado, el balance del comercio ha estado en contra nuestra. El giro que se le ha dado a la Doctrina de Monroe, para protejer la explotación realizada por las grandes corporaciones, ha despertado en los países del sur, el temor de que nosotros estamos afianzandonos en una política de explotación imperialista, y ya hay, consecuentemente, amenaza de un boycott económico en los países latinoamericanos, los cuales dirijen sus compradoros hacia los mercados europeos.

Recent excavations by English archaeologists at the site of the Roman town of Uriconium, near this Shropshire village, have revealed the largest Roman building yet uncovered in Britain. A shattered tablet near the entrance revealed the fact it was the forum or market place erected by the Emperor Hadrian in A. D. 120. Many other buildings have been unearthhed, and all show indications that the city of Uriconium was destroyed by fire. The bricks of the ancient walls are blackened and charred. Several skeletons have been found. One of these, that of a man, was discovered in a "hypocast," or heating chamber for a bath. In his hand was a broken box which once contained the colns which were scattered around him. These colns bore the date A. D. 111. Footmarks of Roman sandals can be seen in the soft cement. A steel covered spur of a fighting cock and a surgeon's lancet also were found. CENTURY BOOK NOTES Percy Marks' "Lord of Himself" is in its fifteenth thousand a week after publication. Early reviews in leading newspapers hall it as a greater novel than even the best selling "Plastic Age," which started a fashion in novel writing. On February 15 The Century Company publishes "The Dark Fire," a novel of the South Seas by Elinor Mordant, and "The Stranger From Cheyenne," a novel of the Wyoming range country by Joseph Bunhill Ames. Also Gervais of the Garden, a modern story for children by Edith Ballinger Price, and "The Castle of the Hawk," a historical romance for children by Katherine Dunhill Gather. Elinor Mordant, the novelist, had the not altogether peaceful experience of reigning for some weeks as princess of a cannibal island in the East Indies, hundreds of sea miles removed from any other white person. Her dangerous experiences provided color and material for her new novel, "The Dark Fire," which The Century Company publishes February 18. When General de Nogales, commander of a Turkish army division in the World War I and soldier of fortune, wanted to set down some of his recollections of his early experiences as a compuncher in the West, he chose Joseph Bushnell Ames, famed Western author, as the best historian. The great success of Mr. Ames' novels of Western life, however, allows him time for non-creative work. Mr. Ames' latest Western novel is "The Stranger From Chayneen" which The Century Company publishes February 18. Alberta's Wheat Output Increased by 25 Times CALGARY, Alta.—Twenty years ago Alberta farmed 2,223,930 acres of wheat land and produced 5,922,260 bushels of this grain. This year Alberta had 6,115,000 acres in wheat and produced 113,127,000 bushels according to the provincial department of agriculture, and 125,238,000 bushels, according to the Northwest Grain Dealers' Association. In either case this was the second largest wheat crop yet produced in Alberta, the record being established in 1923, when the yield was 144,524,000 bushels. This was an unfortunate harvesting year, for the weather from the end of August was bad for six weeks and grain suffered from shrinkage and non-filling. The point is that Alberta has increased its wheat acreage and its production by between twenty-five and thirty times in twenty years and the acreage is still increasing tremendously.

The whipping posts would be in or near the jail or workhouse yard of each county. Influenza Germ Found LONDON, Jan. 23.—A letter from two Edinburgh doctors, David and Robert Thompson, brothers, recounting discovery of what they term, an unusual streptococcus, has aroused another discussion over the influenza bacillus. The letter, which appeared in the Lancet, says the streptococcus was obtained from a nausal discharge and blood of one of the brothers while he was suffering from influenza. They were seeking "bacterium pneumosinetes" discovered by Drs. Oltsky and Gates, of the Rockefeller Institute, which supposedly is the cause of the disease. They tell of failing to discover the "pneumosinetes" and of their surprise in finding "this new streptococcus, which tentatively suggests the real cause, invading the blood from a primary focus in the nose."

A shattered tabist found near the entrance when placed together revealed the fact that it was the forum or market place erected by Esperer Hadrian in 130 A.D. Numerous other buildings have been unearthed and all show indications the city of Urniconium was destroyed by fire. The bricks of the ancient walls are so blackened and charred that they look as if the configuration might have occurred recently instead of hundreds of years ago. Several ancient skeletons have been found. One of these, that of a man, was discovered in a "hypocast" or heating chamber for a bath. In his hand was a broken box, which once contained the colns which were scattered about him. These colns bore the date A. D. 111. Footmarks of Roman sandals can be seen in the soft cement and well heads scored by the lowering of a rope. A steel-covered spur of a fighting cock, a surgeon's lancet and many other discoveries give indication life in Roman days had many aspects similar to that of today. BABIES BORN DEAD SAVED BY AIR DEVICE Saving of innumerable babies "born dead" now seems assured, according to physicians at St. Vincent's Hospital, West New Brighton, Staten Island, where the first known test in the resuscitation of an infant victim of suspended animation has been successful. And a device known as an inhalator, intended primarily for treatment of monoxide gas victims, has been brought to the fore and promises to become an important adjunct in all maternity wards. Since its first test, the device has been used twice, in both instances on new-born babies, and in each case the infants have rallied, and breathed normally. In their long quest for a satisfactory device which would automatically mix and administer oxygen and carbon dioxide the capsets of the United States Bureau of Mines aroused the interest of Dr. Yandell Henderson of Yale University, and Dr. Howard W. Haggard, another scientist, and these men set about to devise the instrument in demand. The result of their labors was a compact, portable outfit, consisting of two cylinders, which when charged send a flow of the oxygen and carbon dioxide into a silicon bag, hung on the lid of the confilner, and this mixture is inhaled by the patient as artificial respiration exercises are applied by the attending physician.

N. L. A. in the family mirror of Mr. and Mrs. Graham, well-known members of this community. This evening phenomenon was noted about two months ago immediately following a violent bar after the colors had fallen from the wall in the Graham home. The colors are distinctly visible. They are about a quarter of an inch in width and fully five inches in length. Some are ascribing the appearance of the colors to the rays of light striking the glass. We are not attending to explain it, but the fact remains that the reflection remains there for all to see. Mr. and Mrs. Graham are ardent Garveyites. BENJAMIN ELAND I am writing to notify you of a very matterious incident at 2217 Randolph Street in this city of the home of Mr. and Mrs. Aaron Graham, Mr. and Mrs. Graham have a looking glass in their home in which the Red, Black and Green, the flag of the U. N. L. A. has been plainly visible since October 6, 1836. The colors are very bright and have been seen by many people. Large crowds have visited the home of Mrs. Graham to see the flag. Mr. and Mrs. Graham are members of the U. N. L. A. of the West St. Louis Chapter. We would be glad if someone would come from headquarters and visit the home of Mrs. Graham to observe this remarkable manifestation. ANNIE B. LEE, St. Louis, Mo. War Problem Solved By a National Home To the Editor of The Negro World. Whenever war has arisen up to this time, Negroes who are citizens of white countries have been forced to fight against their dark brothers. There was a time when the Negro did not realise what he was doing when he did this. But Marcus Garvey has come among us and shown us that we are all blood brothers no matter where we happen to live. White nations have continued to mistreat us in times of peace and when war comes they force us to fight for them. If the Negro will try to gain a national home for himself he will not have to put up with the hardships that are put upon him by the white race. There is no reason why the Negro should fight his brother and he can stop it if he will. C. CHAMBERS. Camden, New Jersey. Garner Organization To the Editor of The Negro World. It is full time for Negroes all over the world to understand the teachings of Marcus Garvey and acknowledge his leadership. He has been telling us that in a few years we would be crushed and driven out of every country in which the Negro lives. Many doubted and criticized him, but it certainly seems as if what he has been warning us of is slowly coming to pass. It is hard to understand how some Negroes can hold such a firm belief in the Bible teach- A GREAT TREAT and the GREAT INTERNATIONAL and LOCAL CONVENTIONS of the U.M.I.A. since the year 1920 to the present time.

Many countries have tried to bar us that we little believed would do anything against us. Who would have believed that the Republic of Panama would ever bar the Negro? As for Mexico, that does not trouble us, as her rebellious slaves have never been our choice. Marcus Garvey and the few thousands of members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association are perplexing the world at this moment. Pray tell me what will happen when the 600,000 Negroes of the world really mate. H. L. COLE. La Lima, Spanish Honduras. Garvevism Gives Negro New Outlook To the Editor of The Negro World The question has been and is often asked, "what is Christianity?" The answer invariably is, "to be Christlike, or love by following the doctrines of Jesus Christ." Now the principal law in His teachings was the law of love, "Love your neighbor as yourself" was always emphasized by Him. If we should credit the Bible as the truth, it shows plainly that Christ spoke without any discrimination. But today, those who claim to be Christians do not observe Christ's law of love upon which all Christian principles are based. The Christian world believes that it is carrying out the Christian principle. Now, is oppressing your neighbor the law of love? Is killing, robbing, enslaving and domineering carrying out the laws of love? I think that the teachers of Christianity should tell the truth as set forth by Christ and practice accordingly. The New Negro is taught by a great teacher, the Hon. Marcus Garvey, to be awakened to the false teachings which have so malted us and to judge the future in relation to the past. CHIPHE CHIKANDA. Havana, Cuba. Shocking Death Records WARNINGTON, Jan. 29.—During the year 1926, there were 1,870 deaths in the City of Norfolk, and of that number 1,026, or 55 per cent, were registered as colored. During the same twelve-month period, there were 2,725 deaths in Birmingham, Ala., 1,981, or 52 per cent, of whom were reported as colored. In two other cities, Atlanta and Memphis, deaths of colored citizens constituted 51 per cent of all deaths in each city. In Nashville, 45 per cent of the total deaths were among the colored population; 43 per cent in Richmond, Va., 41 per cent in New Orleans; 27 per cent in Washington, D. C.; 33 per cent in Houston, Texas; 36 per cent in Kansas City, Kan., and 24 per cent in both Baltimore and Louisville. Of the 12,156 deaths during the year in the four cities, Norfolk, Birmingham, Atlanta and Memphis, 6,855, or slightly in excess of 52 per cent, occurred among the colored citizens—C. P. B.

That cannot be so. It is our clear duty to stand up like men and demand the things that are ours, demand justice and righteous dealing as the God of the Universal Negro Improvement. Association, or the Imperial God of all mankind, would have us do. A Black God When Marcus Garvey, our great leader, stood up in the convention of the Negro peoples of the world and enunciated the idea of a black god the Negro newspaper and the white newspaper—some of them—said everything about him, but the so-called big Negro now have realized that Marcus Garvey was right, that the Negro will have to get something like that, but they do not want to give Marcus Garvey credit for it. You who are here tonight are all white folks, black as you are. That sounds paradoxical, but it is true. The white man's culture and influence is upon you, you areaturated with it, and in spite of yourselves you are white—you see white and think white all too frequently. "And, my friends, that is why we have opened this University in Claremont, Virginia, in order that we might turn the whiteness out of our souls and embrace that culture, that education that will lift us from degradation up to the highest heights of civilization. It can be done, and it must be done. The Negro's Part "And, my friends, what is the Negro going to do in this fight that is now waging? Is he going to remain like the Sphinx? China now is being led by a young man of 35 named Eugene Chen. He got the vision and he is able leading China out from under the yoke. A statesman of the highest rank is the description his enemies are forced to give him. He first busied himself with castigating the lazy and traitorious in China itself, and now he has turned his attention to the alien oppressor, and his followers, millions of Chinese, have vowed that they would rather die the death of dogs than submit to the old injustices. And do you know what is going to happen? In a few months China will be admitted to the comity of nations as a full-grown power. They said China was sleeping. Now China has awakened. They say the Negro race is sleepy—400,000,000 sleepy. Well, awake and make them know it. It is time you stopped singing. "Wash me and I shall be whiter than snow."

Four hundred marines aboard the submarine tender Argonne will be landed at Coronto on Monday and sent to various parts of the interior, some probably going to Managua to replace temporary detachments of American forces now on duty in Nicaragua.

SAN JUAN DEL SUR, Nicaragua, Jan. 28.—Communication with the interior has been interrupted, and it was reported that a strong body of Liberal cavalry was gathering two miles from this Atlantic coast town this afternoon. Can't Quit Nicaragua NILES, O. Jan. 29.—Unless the United States is prepared to reverse completely its Central American policy, it cannot withdraw its troops from Nicaragua until peace is restored. Frank W. Mondell, former Republican floor leader in Congress, said tonight at the annual McKinley banquet held in the McKinley Memorial here near the birthplace of the former President. "Unless we are expected to abandon the policy of McKinley, Roosevelt, Taft and Wilson, surrender the rights they secured and leave the lives and property of our citizens and other foreigners to the mercy of maneuuding bands of freebooters, we cannot take our forces out of Nicaragua until peace is restored." Mr. Mondell declared. He asserted that the basis for the interest of the United States in Nicaragua was laid in McKinley's administration. The H. P. DREAM BOOK 736 Get the H. P.
